This paper presents a centralized control algorithm for power system performance in the Korean power system using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The algorithm is applied to the Korean power system throughout the metropolitan area in order to alleviate inherent stability problems, especially concerns with voltage stability. Generally, control strategies are divided into local and centralized control. This paper is concerned with a centralized control strategy in terms of the global system. In this research, input data of the proposed algorithm and network data are obtained from the SCADA/EMS system. Using the full system model, the centralized controller monitors the system condition and decides the operating point according to the control objectives that are, in turn, dependent on system conditions. To overcome voltage collapse problems, load-shedding is currently applied in the Korean power system. In this study, the application of the coordination between FACTS and switch capacitor (SC) can restore the solvability without load shedding or guarantee the FV margin when the margin is insufficient. Optimal Power Flow (OPF) algorithm, for which the objective function is loss minimization, is used in a stable case. The results illustrate examples of the proposed algorithm using SCADA/EMS data of the Korean power system in 2007.

This study was carried out to investigate the growth responses of medicinal plants such as Glehnia littoralis, Cryptotaenia japonica, Angelica gigas, Reynoutria japonica, Saururus chinensis, Houttuynia cordata, Ligularia fischeri, and Aralia cordata under 70%-shading and full sunlight conditions on a rooftop condition using artificial soil as a growth media. Glehnia littoralis, Cryptotaenia japonica, Ligularia fischeri, Saururus chinensis, and Houttuynia cordata showed better growth on plant height, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length and leaf number under full sunlight conditions on a rooftop condition. Cryptotaenia japonica and Houttuynia cordata had high value of Hunter's a (red-green) under full sunlight, while had lower value of L(lightness) and b(blue-yellow) than those of 70% shading condition. As an index of plant stress response, Glehnia littoralis, Reynoutria japonica, Houttuynia cordata, Ligularia fischeri showed Fv/Fm values 0.79~0.84 under full sunlight in August, indicating low stress on plant growth. Therefore they seemed to be suitable medicinal plats for rooftop conditions. Ligularia fischeri and Reynoutria japonica showed better growth under 70% shading treatment in August, while showed high growth response under full sunlight conditions in September. The 70% shading treatment was effective for the growth of Angelica gigas, Reynoutria japonica, and Aralia cordata. Angelica gigas and Reynoutria japonica, however, showed better plant growth under full sunlight during summer. The results showed that Glehnia littoralis, Cryptotaenia japonica, Ligularia fischeri, Saururus chinensis, and Houttuynia cordat seemed to be suitable medicinal plants for rooftop garden where there is a full sunlight condition.

The photosynthetic activities in relation to oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, CO2 uptake rates and room temperature chlorophyll fluorescence were investigated in cotyledons of cucumber seedlings exposed to low temperature (at 4$^{\circ}C$) for 24 h. Light-chilling caused more inhibition on light-saturated maximum oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, and CO2 uptake rates than dark-chilling did in the cucumber plant. Light-chilling induced more marked increase in Fo and decrease in (Fv)m/Fm than dark-chilling did in the room temperature chlorophyll induction kinetics. The above results affected by chilling in the light are considered to be associated with the partial damage of the reaction center of PS II and the decreased photosynthetic activities. There occurred a large decrease in qQ with little change in qNP in the light-chilling plant. When light- and dark-chilled plants were recovered at room temperature for 24 h and their chlorophyll fluorescences were induced with light doubling technique, light-chilled plants showed more smaller magnitude and rate of fluorescence relaxation than dark-chilled plants. These suggest that light-chilling might cause some alterations in transthylakoid pH formation, and that photosynthetic apparatus of cucumber cotyledons is more susceptible to light-chilling. In the fast fluorescence induction kinetics, FR was decreased by 60% in the light-chilled plants with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ light-grown plants, while the dark-chilled plants showed a decreased rate of only 20% with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ dark-treated plants for 24 h, indicating that cucumber seedling is very sensitive to chilling stress. So, it is certain that chilling injury to the photosynthetic apparatus is strongly dependent on the presence of light in cucumber seedlings.

Flat DMT는 널리 사용되어지고 있는 현장시험기구로서 간단하고, 경제적이면서도 다양한 지반의 응력-변형-강도특성을 추정할 수 있으나, 이들 현장시험의 결과들은 지역적 특성에 의존하는 경향이 있기 때문에 기준값과 비교하여 많은 연구와 검증을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 제안된 상관관계식의 우리나라 점토지반에 대한 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 FV 및 CPT의 현장시험을 실시하고, thin-walled tube sampler로 채취된 시료에 대한 비압밀비배수(UU) 실험. oedometer 실험 및 다른 기본적인 물성실험을 수행하여 DMT의 결과들 쏙 비교하였다. 세 장소의 점토지반에서 구한 DMT 결과들로부터 흙의 종류, 단위중량, 정지토 압계수, 과압밀비, 비배수 전단강도 및 변형계수를 추정하였으며 다른 시험결과들과 비교분석하여 우리나라 점토 지반에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다.

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate of the specificity of Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes using dot blot hybridization. To confirm whether the clinical isolates were F. nucleatum or not, 16S rDNA of them were cloned and sequenced. The sequencing data were used in homology search with database of GenBank. When the homology was above 98% compared with the nucleotide sequence of a certain bacteria, it was judged as the same species with the bacteria. 23 strains of F. nucleatum were isolates from subgingival plaque of periodontitis patient. The clinical isolates of F. nucleatum were classified into 10 groups using phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequence. F. nucleatum subspecies nucleatum-specific DNA probe Fu4(1.3 kb) reacted with genomic DNAs from 8 type strains of F. nucleatum and it reacted strongly with those from 8 clinical isolates. The Fp4(0.8 kb) reacted with F. nucleatum subsp. polymorphum ATCC 10953 and one clinical isolates. Fv35(1.9 kb) and Fs17(8.2 kb) probes reacted with genomic DNAs from F. nucleatum subsp. vincentii ATCC 49256 and F. nucleatum subsp. fusiform ATCC 51190, respectively. Our results showed that it is not enough to evaluate the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes with only dot blot hybridization. Therefore, Southern blot analysis will be necessary to confirm the specificity of F. nucleatum subspecies-specific DNA probes.

The $Pb[(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}]O_3$+xwt%PbO systems at temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours was successful synthesized. In this study, PbO-doped $Pb[(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}]O_3$ systems with non-linear behaviors showed ordering-degree dependence at the low temperature range were prepared using the columbite precursor method. And the characteristic of remnant polarization vs. electric field were analyzed. The pyroelectric, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of partially disordered $Pb[(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}]O_3$+xwt%PbO solid solutions were studied as a function of temperature, frequency, and electric field. It showed distinct features of temperature dependent of pyroelectric coefficient, spontaneous polarization and dielectric constant at about $50^{\circ}C$. The figure of merit was calculated as pyroelectric coefficient, dielectric constant and dissipation factor. It was found that the high voltage responsivity FV, high detectivity FD were $0.0373m^2/C$ and $0.6735{\times}10^{-4}Pa{-1/2}$, respectively, in the $Pb[(Mg_{1/3}Ta_{2/3})_{0.7}Ti_{0.3}]O_3$+3.0 wt%PbO system.

The OsAsr1 cDNA clone was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from developing seed coats of rice (Oryza sativa L.). Low-temperature stress increased mRNA levels of OsAsr1 in both vegetative and reproductive organs. In situ analysis showed that OsAsr1 transcript was preferentially accumulated in the leaf mesophyll tissues and parenchyma cells of the palea and lemma. For transgenic rice plants that over-expressed full-length OsAsr1 cDNA in the sense orientation, the Fv/Fm values for photosynthetic efficiency were about 2-fold higher than those of wild type-segregating plants after a 24-h cold treatment. Seedlings exposed to prolonged low temperatures were more tolerant of cold stress, as demonstrated during wilting and regrowth tests. Interestingly, OsAsr1 was highly expressed in transgenic rice plants expressing the C-repeat/dehyhdration responsive element binding factor 1 (CBF1), suggesting the regulation of OsAsr1 by CBF1. Taken together, we suggest that OsAsr1 gene play an important role during temperature stress, and that this gene can be used for generating plants with enhanced cold tolerance.

Gully pot is a part of urban darainage system to butter the runoff water fluxes from road to rivers and to minimize environmental pollution by prevending over the surrounding area. A series of studies have been carried out concerning the physicochemical characteristics of the sewage sludge sediments sttling down in such a gully pot in order to over to evaluate the contamination for heavy metals such as pb, Zn, Cu and Cd. The roadside soil and sewage sludge samples from gully pots were characterized by XRD analyses and sequential extraction : Zn 2595.7$\mu$g/g; Cd9.8$\mu$/g; Cu602.5$\mu$g/g; Pb260.0$\mu$g/g),because of a long-term accumulation of vehicle- and industrial-related pollutants. Mean Zn concentration in Yeouido (3873$\mu$g/g) and Junggu(3262$\mu$g/g)areas are 4-5 times higher than those in Dobonggu area, suggesting that Zn may be derived from automobile traffic (including the rubber of automobile tires). The mean concentrations of Cu and Cr are very significantly high in Junggu and Gurogu areas, possibly due to the industrial activities in these areas. The low Pb levels throughtotut the whole study areas in Seoul can be accounted for the use of unleaded gasoline since 1987. Sequential extraction experiments illustrate that a major part of Zn is bound to FII and FIII, representing about 88% of the total Zn concentration. Fraction IV, related to orgnic matter, is mostly significant for Cu accounting for 60% of the total Cu, and FII is next in importance. The main carriers of Pb are the fractions III, II and FIV, and in that order. The behavior of Cd is quite different from other elements (Zn, Cu, Pb), and most of the Cd is associated with FV. Changes in the physicochemical environments (such as acidification) may result in severe environmental pollution of surface water and rivers with respect to heavy metals (especially Zn and Cu).
