Purpose: The purpose is to clarify the effect of additional scattering ratio on the edge of the block according to the increasing block thickness with low melting point lead alloy and pure lead in electron beam therapy. Methods and materials: $10{\times}10cm^2$ Shielding blocks made of low melting point lead alloy and pure lead were fabricated to shield mold frame half of applicator. Block thickness was 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 (mm) for each material. The common irradiation conditions were set at 6 MeV energy, 300 MU / Min dose rate, gantry angle of $0^{\circ}$, and dose of 100 MU. The relative scattering ratio with increasing block thickness was measured with a parallel plate type ion chamber(Exradin P11) and phantom(RW3) by varying the position of the shielding block(cone and on the phantom), the position of the measuring point(surface ans depth of $D_{max}$), and the block material(lead alloy and pure lead). Results : When (depth of measurement / block position / block material) was (surface / applicator / pure lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 15.33 nC(+0.33 %), 15.28 nC(0 %), 15.08 nC(-1.31 %), 15.05 nC(-1.51 %), 15.07 nC(-1.37 %) as the block thickness increased in order of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 (mm) respectively. When it was (surface / applicator / alloy lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 15.19 nC(-0.59 %), 15.25 nC(-0.20 %), 15.15 nC(-0.85 %), 14.96 nC(-2.09 %), 15.15 nC(-0.85 %) respectively. When it was (surface / phantom / pure lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 15.62 nC(+2.23 %), 15.59 nC(+2.03 %), 15.53 nC(+1.67 %), 15.48 nC(+1.31 %), 15.34 nC(+0.39 %) respectively. When it was (surface / phantom / alloy lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 15.56 nC(+1.83 %), 15.55 nC(+1.77 %), 15.51 nC(+1.51 %), 15.42 nC(+0.92 %), 15.39 nC(+0.72 %) respectively. When it was (depth of $D_{max}$ / applicator / pure lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 16.70 nC(-10.87 %), 16.84 nC(-10.12 %), 16.72 nC(-10.78 %), 16.88 nC(-9.93 %), 16.90 nC(-9.82 %) respectively. When it was (depth of $D_{max}$ / applicator / alloy lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 16.83 nC(-10.19 %), 17.12 nC(-8.64 %), 16.89 nC(-9.87 %), 16.77 nC(-10.51 %), 16.52 nC(-11.85 %) respectively. When it was (depth of $D_{max}$ / phantom / pure lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 17.41 nC(-7.10 %), 17.45 nC(-6.88 %), 17.34 nC(-7.47 %), 17.42 nC(-7.04 %), 17.25 nC(-7.95 %) respectively. When it was (depth of $D_{max}$ / phantom / alloy lead), the relative value(scattering ratio) was 17.45 nC(-6.88 %), 17.44 nC(-6.94 %), 17.47 nC(-6.78 %), 17.43 nC(-6.99 %), 17.35 nC(-7.42 %) respectively. Conclusions: When performing electron therapy using a shielding block, the block position should be inserted applicator rather than the patient's body surface. The block thickness should be made to the minimum appropriate shielding thickness of each corresponding using energy. Also it is useful that the treatment should be performed considering the influence of scattering dose varying with distance from the edge of block.

The chemical compositions and stability constants, thermodynamic parameters for the neodymium(Ⅲ) complexes of substituted benzo-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane(B15C5) have been determined by spectrophotometry and conductometry in methanol solution at various temperatures. As substituents, CH3, Br, CHO, NO2, and 3,4-(NO2)2 were used. In methanol solution the ratios of neodymium(Ⅲ) to the ligands in the complexes are 1 : 1. The stability constants were increased in order of B15C5-3,4-(NO2)2 < B15C5-NO2 < B15C5-CHO < B15C5-Br < B15C5 < B15C5-CH3. This observation can be explained in terms of the substituent effect. The order of stability constants was dimethylsulfoxide < acetone < acetonitrile in solution and the magnitudes were found to be inversely proportional to the solvents donicities. These results could be understood in terms of solvent basicity, ligand basicity, solvation of the cation, and entropy changes of complex formation.

The chemical compositions and possible structure for the complex of B15C5 with Nd(Ⅲ) have been determined by NMR spectrophotometry in acetone-d6. On the stepwise additions of Nd(Ⅲ) to B15C5 solution of constant concentration, all the resonances shifted to downfield and the mole ratio of B15C5 to Nd(Ⅲ) was found to be 1 : 1. From the line broadening of proton peaks of NMR spectra, it was found that oxygen atoms in B15C5 interact with Nd(Ⅲ) ion. And in IR spectra of Nd(Ⅲ)-B15C5 complex, the band of asymmetric C-C-O stretching vibration shifted to a lower frequency region upon complexation. We have proposed the possible structure of the Nd(Ⅲ)-B15C5 coordinated with the five ether oxygen atoms and with the three bidentate nitrato groups.

The susceptibility of marine medaka, Oryzias dancena to fish pathogenic viruses (infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus (VHSV), hirame rhabdovirus (HIRRV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), and lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV)) was investigated. The cumulative mortalities of fish immersed with IPNV (experimental condition: $15^{\circ}C$ sea water (SW)), VHSV ($15^{\circ}C$ SW), HIRRV ($15^{\circ}C$ fresh water (FW)) were 30%, 40% and 60%, respectively. In the fish immersed with IPNV ($15^{\circ}C$ FW, $18^{\circ}C$ FW and SW), VHSV ($15^{\circ}C$ FW, $18^{\circ}C$ FW and SW), HIRRV ($15^{\circ}C$ SW), IHNV ($15^{\circ}C$ FW and SW), LCDV ($15^{\circ}C$ FW and SW, $18^{\circ}C$ FW and SW), and mock-challenged group, mortality rate was less than 10%. IPNV, VHSV and HIRRV were re-isolated from the dead fish. These results suggest that marine medaka is susceptible to IPNV, VHSV and HIRRV, although their susceptibility depends on the environmental conditions.

Acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5 was prepared from the reaction of 4'-hydroxymethylbenzo-15-crown-5 with acryloyl chloride. And, poly(acryloylmethylbenzo-15-crown-5) [poly(AMB15C5)] was synthesized by radical polymerization using AIBN as initiator in benzene. Coated wire lead(II) ion-selective electrodes ($Pb^{2+}$-CWISEs) using either poly(AMB15C5) or B15C5 as neutral carrier were prepared, respectively. $Pb^{2+}$-CWISEs gave linear responses with slopes of 28$\pm$ 1mV per decade within the concentration range of $10^{-5} M{\sim}10^{-1}$ M, respectively. Also, the detection limits were $10^{-6}$ M and response times were either 3 or 5 min. for B15C5 and poly(AMB15C5), respectively. $Pb^{2+}$-CWISE base on B15C5 was rather unstable than poly(AMB15C5)'s due to solubility of the B15C5 in water. The selectivity coefficients of a variety of interfering ions such as $Mg^{2+},\; Ca^{2+},\; Co^{2+},\; Ni^{2+},\; Cu^{2+},\; Zn^{2+}$ and $Cd^{2+}$ were small ($10^{-4}{\sim}10^{-5}$), while those of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ were large (0.1∼0.01). In addition, the electrode responses depended upon the pH of test solution and the composition of the membrane. In the range pH 3∼6 of test solution, potentials of Pb2+-CWISEs were hardly changed. The optimal contents of B15C5 and poly(AMB15C5) were 7.7 wt% and 13.1 wt%, respectively.

This study was conducted to determine types of seed dormancy in Sambucus racemosa subsp. pendula (Nakai) H.I. Lim & C.S. Chang, an endemic tree species of Korea, whose seeds have been considered difficult to germinate. Seeds of S. racemosa subsp. pendula were stratified at 25/15 or $5^{\circ}C$ for 0, 6, or 12 weeks (wks) and incubated at 15/6, 20/10, 25/15, or $30/20^{\circ}C$ (12/12 h) under 14 h photoperiod. To determine the effect of $GA_3$ on seed germination of S. racemosa subsp. pendula, seeds were treated with 0, 500, or 1000 ppm $GA_3$ and then germinated at 25/15 or $5^{\circ}C$. The change in embryo length was investigated at 25/15 or $5^{\circ}C$. Seeds given 12 wks of cold stratification germinated to 33.4% at $15/6^{\circ}C$ and to 25.4% for seeds given 6 wks of warm stratification + 12 wks of cold stratification at $20/10^{\circ}C$. At $25/15^{\circ}C$, seeds given 12 wks of warm stratification + 6 wks of cold stratification germinated to 26.0%, and to 28.2% for seeds given 12 wks of warm stratification + 12 wks of cold stratification at $30/20^{\circ}C$. Warm stratification alone did not germinate seeds throughout the experiment, regardless of the thermoperiod. Linear embryos began to grow after 60 days of incubation at 25/15 or $5^{\circ}C$. The embryo length at day 69 increased from 1.4 mm to 1.50 or 1.62 mm at 25/15 or $5^{\circ}C$, respectively. Embryos of S. racemosa subsp. pendula seeds grew better at $5^{\circ}C$ than at $25/15^{\circ}C$. Gibberellin was effective to break seed dormancy of S. racemosa subsp. pendula. Seeds treated with 500 ppm $GA_3$ germinated up to 40.0% at $25/15^{\circ}C$ and to 62.7% for those treated with 100 ppm $GA_3$ at $5^{\circ}C$. With these results, seeds of S. racemosa subsp. pendula have both nondeep complex and intermediate complex morphophysiological dormancy.

This study used HPLC to analyze the contents of catechins, alkaloids, and theanine of commercial green tea. Green tea samples were stored for 6 months at five different temperatures, $30^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $4^{\circ}C$, $-15^{\circ}C$ and $-40^{\circ}C$. Catechins change in storage temperature was $30^{\circ}C$ > $15^{\circ}C$ > $4^{\circ}C$ > $-15^{\circ}C$ > $-40^{\circ}C$ stored for 6 months. Total alkaloids content higher levels were CAF(27.49 mg/g) with lower level of TB(2.16 mg/g) and TP(0.28 mg/g). The total alkaloids content decreased in the longer storage periods, a similar case with, although CAF were almost unchanged in all storage temperatures. The results indicate that temperature and storage time are important in the storage of green tea, with refrigerated and frozen conditions as preferable to increase or preserve the chemical compounds of the green tea.

Mulberry cuttings from shoots of Shinkwangppong(Morus bombycis koidz.) had been callused in vermiculite separately at 15, 20, 25 and 30$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days before transplanting them in greenhouse to make clear the effect of temperature on root formation and growth is as follow. The buds of cuttings started sprouting in 4 and 6 days of callusing at 30 and 25$^{\circ}C$, respectively, reaching 100% budding in 10 and 15 days of callusing. Budding was delayed, however, at low temperature, showing 86% and 92% at 15 and 20$^{\circ}C$, respectively, in 15 days. Rooting from the cuttings was also accelerated at high temperature, showing 97-100% rooting at 25$^{\circ}C$ and 30$^{\circ}C$, in 15 days of callusing but no more than 93% at low temperature even in 35 days. Although high temperature increased root number and length after 15 days in callusing, no differences showed in the number and the weight at more than 20$^{\circ}C$ in 35 days of cuttings.

The present study was carried out to get the basic information for clarifying physiological mechanism of breaking dormancy and sprouting in Panax ginseng roots. Changes in Abscisic acid (ABA) content and Gibberellin (GA) activity were investigated in one-year-old root during stratification at 4$^{\circ}C$. 15$^{\circ}C$. and 15$^{\circ}C$ after 60day-treatment at 4$^{\circ}C$. Sprouting rate at 15$^{\circ}C$ was 35％ in 30days storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 100％ in longer than 60days, but there was no sprout in both the constant treatment at 4$^{\circ}C$ or 15$^{\circ}C$ regardless of the treatment period. The longer the period of low temperature treatment. number of days to the first and 50％ sprouting was shortened, and number of days to 50％ from first sprouting was also shortened. ABA content in the upper part of root(contained bud) was gradually increased at both 4$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ as the treatment period was extended. and the degree of increase was higher at 15$^{\circ}C$. In the lower part. it showed a slight increase at 15$^{\circ}C$. while showed little change at 4$^{\circ}C$ throughout the treatment period. In the 15$^{\circ}C$ treatment after 60days at 4$^{\circ}C$, it was greatly increased in the upper part. while rather slightly decreased in the lower part of root. GA activity in the upper part was gradually decreased at both 4$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$, and the degree of decrease was higher at 15$^{\circ}C$. In the lower part. it was similar tendency to those in the upper part. In the 15$^{\circ}C$ treatment after 60days at 4$^{\circ}C$. it was remarkably increased in both the upper and lower part. The increase was great in the low Rf region, while the decrease appeared relatively in the high Rf region compared to those of 60day-treatment at 4$^{\circ}C$. The above results indicated that the breaking dormancy and sprouting of bud were closely associated with the degree of GA activities in response to temperature condition .during stratification rather than the direct effect associated with the changes in ABA content.
