Adrenal glucocorticoids, secreted by the stimulus of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), are catabolic hormones in the pig. The present study was conducted to find whether active immunization against ACTH would suppress cortisol secretion accompanied by an increased growth rate in growing-finishing barrows. ACTH was conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin or human histone using glutaraldehyde or 3-maleimidobenzoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide, under a 2 (ACTH vs no hapten)${\times}$2 (carrier)${\times}$2 (crosslinker) factorial arrangement of treatments. Cross-bred barrows weighing approximately 25 kg were injected with an ACTHcarrier or carrier only conjugate every 4th wk and slaughtered at approximately 110 kg body weight. Antibodies against ACTH were detected in serum, as determined by $[^{125}I]$ACTH-binding activity, in most animals immunized against the ACTH conjugate, but not in carrier only-injected animals, except for the animals which had received the hapten conjugated to histone via glutaraldehyde. The $[^{125}I]$ACTH-binding activity of serum increased after the second booster injection, but overall ACTH antibody titer was very low. Main effect was not detected not only for the carrier and crosslinker but for the hapten in serum cortisol concentration, ADG, loin muscle area, backfat thickness and longissimus muscle composition including fat and protein. In addition, bound $[^{125}I]$ACTH percentage had no relation to cortisol concentration or to any of the above growth-related variables. Results suggest that ACTH or its conjugates used in the present study were not immunogenically potent enough to affect the glucocorticoid secretion and thus the growth of the immunized pigs.

This paper is a case study on regional linkages of producer services in Chinju region. Producer service appeared as the most rapid growth sector in service industry. In Chinju region. manufacturing firms purchase generalized producer service within the region. However the higher-order service, they demand; the remoter metropolis especially Seoul, they depend on. Linkage patterns among manufacturing sectors are similar; but then the firms whose managers are from Chinju or Gyeong-nam region had stronger regional linkages than others. Public institute such as Chamber of Commerce & Industry, University Research Institute of Industrial Technology. Korea Technology Credit Guarantee Fund, Korea Silk Research Institute have made important role as suppliers of public producer services in Chinju Region. As present stage, their services of industrial technology, fiancing, and information are not only fit regional demand but also spatially limited within region. The facts that large firms purchase high-order services from other region and small firms have not good demand of producer service suggest regional policy implication about supplying relevant producer service in the region.

1. Continuous light induced more conidia than alternating light and darkness treatment in isolate Chinju 1. Isolate Suwon 3 produced much more conidia on synthetic medium than Chinju 1 in light. Conidial formation in Suwon 3 increased remarkably with alternate light and darkness in 8 days incubation. 2. Light was essential for perithecial formation in Chinju 1. No matured perithecia were observed in Suwon 3 with any treatment. Abundant perithecia were produced in Chinju 1 but only perithecial initiation occurred in Suwon 3. Suwon 3 produced significantly more conidia than Chinju 1, while perithecial formation was reversed. 3. Conidial numbers in soil decreased significantly through the winter at 10, 30 and 50 per cent soil moisture, with the most striking decrease at 10 per cent levels, but the number recovered again beginning in March, regardless of the soil moisture. The above results provide us a useful clue to support the possbility the conidia may serve as a primary inoculum.

Integration of microbial antagonists with fungicides was tried to control the gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea on pepper in greenhouse conditions and to reduce fungicide uses. All of the selected bacterial antagonists, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BL3, Paenibacillus polymyxa BL4, and Pseudomonas putida Cha94, completely inhibited the conidial germination of B. cinerea until 30 days after treatment. However, bacterial colonization of pepper phylloplane was poor in BL4, while the other bacterial isolates and the fungal antagonist Trichoderma harzianum TM colonized well on the phylloplane, maintaining the population density of 104-105 cfu/g until 15 days after microbial treatments. Out of 13 kinds of selected fungicides used for gray mold diseases, polyoxin B and BKF 1995 showed the most discriminatory activity on the fungal growth between B. cinerea and TM. TM grew readily on the media containing those fungicides, while B. cinerea showed poor or no mycelial growth on them. The selected fungicides and antagonists alone reduced incidence of gray mold on pepper, showing disease indices of about 2.4 to 3.0, while its was increased up to 4.2 in the untreated control. Alternate treatments with the antagonists and 2-fold diluted fungicides inhibited the disease incidence as much as the antagonists or fungicides alone, and reduced the secondary inoculum more than the single treatments. This suggests that integration of antagonists and fungicides may be an efficient way to reduce fungicide sprays with reliable control efficacy of the disease. However, there was not much difference in the early and mid-term disease progress among the treatments and the untreated control, probably due to extremely favorable environmental conditions for the disease development in this experiment.

The photodegradation of benzene was studied in an aqueous solution using a medium pressure Hg-lamp. In this study, persulfate, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, and sulfate ions were all tested as sensitizers. The persulfate, nitrate, and nitrite ions exhibited a sensitizing effect in the photodegradation of benzene, whereas no detectable effects were observed with the sulfate and chloride ions. When nitrite ions were used as the sensitizer, the photodegradation of benzene ran through a maximum value and thereafter decreased with an increasing nitrite concentration. The resulting build-up of nitrite ions seemed to scavenge the hydroxyl radicals. When nitrite ions were present along with persulfate ions, the photodegradation of benzene was inhibited.

This study was conducted to ramify of the splenic arteries by injection of Vinylite into the splenic arteries in twenty five adult Korean cattle. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. Splenic trabcular arteries of bovine were originated from 3 chief Rami lienales, Aa. terminales superior et inferior and A. polaris superior, of the splenic arteries, and the splenic parenchyma was ramified to 4-9 arterial segments by the course of the Rami lienales. 2. Each one of the arterial segments was dealt with 2-4 Teilsegmente, therefore, the splenic parenchyma was ramified from 12 Teilsegmente in minimum to 30 Teilsegmente in maximum. 3. The distribution of the arteries in the spleens was divided into 6 types by the number of arterial segments, and also was 15 kinds by the distributing arteries, Aa. terminales superior et inferior and A. polares superior. 4. The anastomosis was not observed between the arterial segments and Teilsegmente.

Let $\Omega_n$ be the polyhedron of $n \times n$ doubly stochastic matrices, that is, nonnegative matrices whose row and column sums are all equal to 1. The permanent of a $n \times n$ matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$ is defined by $$ per(A) = \sum_{\sigma}^ a_{1\sigma(a)} \cdots a_{n\sigma(n)} $$ where $\sigma$ runs over all permutations of ${1, 2, \ldots, n}$.

In June, 1957, a rabid wolf near Chinju, Korea attacked and bit 18 persons, and the resulting epidemiologic observations are summarized as follows: (1) Five of 18 persons bitten died of rabies. (2) Ten persons were exposed by bites on the head, of which 5 received Pasteur treatment, and 5 did not. The rabies mortality ratios for these 2 groups were 5:3, and 5:1 respectively. (3) Of 8 persons bitten on the extremities, only one of 5 not receiving Pasteur treatment died of rabies. (4) The incubation period lasted 13 to 17 days, and the clinical course 1 to 2 days.
