This study was conducted in an indoor cultivation room and chamber where environmental control is possible to investigate the effect of temperature and irrigation interval on photosynthesis, growth and growth analysis of potted seedling cucumber. The light intensity (70 W·m^-2) and humidity (65%) were set to be the same. The experimental treatments were six combinations of three different temperatures, 15/10℃, 25/20℃, and 35/25℃, and two irrigation intervals, 100 mL per day (S) and 200 mL every 2 days (L). The treatments were named 15S, 15L, 25S, 25L, 35S, and 35L. Seedlings at 0.5 cm in height were planted in pots (volume:1 L) filled with sandy loam and treated for 21 days. Photosynthesis, transpiration rate and stomatal conductance at 14 days after treatment were highest in 25S. These were higher in S treatments with a shorter irrigation interval than L treatments. Total amount of irrigation water was supplied evenly at 2 L, but the soil moisture content was highest at 15S and lowest at 25S > 15L > 25L, 35S and 35L in that order. Humidity showed a similar trend at 15/10℃ (61.1%) and 25/20℃ (67.2%), but it was as high at 35/25℃ (80.5%). Cucumber growth (plant height, leaf length, leaf width, chlorophyll content, leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight) on day 21 was the highest in 25S. Growth parameters were higher in S with shorter irrigation intervals. Yellow symptom of leaf was occurred in 89.9% at 35S and 35L, where the temperature was high. Relative growth rate (RGR) and specific leaf weight (SLA) were high at 25/20℃ (25S, 25L), RGR tended to be high in the S treatment, and SLA in the L treatment. Water use efficiency (WUE) was high in the order of 25S, 25L > 15S > 15L, 35S, and 35L. As a result of the above, the growth and WUE were high at the temperature of 25/20℃.

Effects of genotype and culture medium on plant regeneration from cotyledon segments of red pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) was investigated. Among combinations of IAA(0.25 and 0.50 mg/L) and zeatin(2.0 and 4.0 mg/L) added to MS medium, combination of 2.0 mg/L zeatin and 0.25 mg/L IAA was shown to be the best for shoot differentiation from cotyledon segments. Shoot regeneration from cotyledon explants took 9 to 25days, depending on genotypes and culture media. Early shooting was observed in Yeongyangjaelae, Putgochw, Karkovskij-A-35, Gris I-A-1 on MS medium containing 2.0 mg/L zeatin and 0.25 IAA mg/L. Percent of explants producing shoots, as also influenced by genotypes and culture media, were over 90% for 621, Yeongyangjaelae, Putgochw, Nikko jacksacgmulgochw, Ch-6-Num-216, and Kajenskij-A-35 when cultured on MS medum supplemented with 2.0 mg/L zeatin and 0.25 mg/L IAA and for Fresno chile, PI 169126, Kajenskij-A-35, jacksacgmulgochw, and PI 297438 on MS medium including 2.0 mg/L BA and 1.0 mg/L IAA.

Surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic (EK) remediation is an emerging technology that can effectively remove hydrocarbons from low-permeability soils. In this study, the electrokinetic remediation using Calfax 16L-35 was conducted for the removal of phenanthrene from kaolinite. An anionic surfactant Calfax 16L-35 was used at concentrations of 5, 15, and 30g/L to enhance the solubility of phenanthrene. When the surfactant solution was applied to EK system, low electrical potential gradient was maintained because of its ions. Even when the surfactant concentration was high, the removal efficiency of phenanthrene was low After the operation, most of surfactants were remained in soil and there were few in effluent. This phenomena was observed because the migration of Calfax 16L-35 from cathode to anode was predominant over electroosmotic flow which moved in opposite direction. Therefore, the anionic surfactant Calfax 16L-35 is considered to be improper in surfactant - enhanced electrokinetic remediation.

A strain named as HJ35 was isolated from the skin of sixty-five men and fourteen women for acne therapy, in order to find an effective antimicrobial agent against Propionibacterium acnes. Isolate HJ35 was identified as Enterococcus faecium based on 16 rDNA sequence and produced enterocin HJ35 having antimicrobial activities against most lactic acid bacteria, En­terococcus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Clostridium perfringens, some bacilli, Mi­crococcus flavus, Listeria monocytogenes, L. ivanovii, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Propionibacterium acnes, in the modified well diffusion method. Especially, enterocin HJ35 showed a bactericidal activity against Propionibacterium acnes P1. The antimicrobial activity of enterocin HJ35 was disappeared completely with the use of protease XIV. But enterocin HJ35 activity is very stable at high temperature (up to $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min), in wide range of pH (3.0${\~}$9.0), and by treatment with organic solvents. The apparent molecular mass of enterocin HJ35 was estimated to be approximately 4${\~}$4.5 kDa on detection of its bactericidal activity after SDS-PAGE. In batch fermentation of E. faecium HJ35, enterocin HJ35 was produced at the mid­log growth phase, and its maximum production was obtained up to 2,300 AU/mL at the late stationary phase. By employing fed-batch fermentation, the enhanced production of enterocin HJ35 was achieved up to 12,800 AU/mL by feeding with 10 g/L glucose or 6 g/L lactate.

Experiments were carried out to examine the combined effects of hypoxia and hydrogen sulfide on survival, feeding activity and metabolic rata or Blue crab, Portunus trituberculatus. Survival rate of the crab was significantly affected by $\leq2.14mg/l$ dissolved oxygen, and feeding activity was also reduced below 1.41mg/l dissolved oxygen. Metabolic rate of the crab exosed to hypoxia $(\leq3.35mg/l)$ was significantly reduced than that exposed to normoxia. The combined effects of hypoxia $(\leq1.86mg/l)$ and hydrogen sulfide $(12.35 {\mu}g/l)$ on the survival rate were highly toxic than each single effect. Feeding activity was also decreased by the combinedexposure to $\leq1.86mg/l$ dissolved oxygen and $(12.35 {\mu}g/l)$ hydrogen sulfide compared with single effect.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of irrigation methods for reducing a drainage on the growth and yield in rockwool (Grodan co.) and cocopeat (chip : dust = 50 : 50 included fiber) culture. The nutrient solution was irrigated by $100J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$-100 mL, $50J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$-45 mL, $50J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$-40 mL, $50J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$-35 mL ($100{\sim}50J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$-100~35 mL, Nutrient solution 100~35 mL was irrigated per plant when the accumulated radiation was $100{\sim}50J{\cdot}cm^{-2}$). The drain rates per plant of 100-100, 50-45, 50-40, 50-35 were 26.3%, 8.8%, 6% 4.4% and 23.1%, 7.5%, 5% 3.4% in rockwool and cocopeat slabs. The water contents and EC of 100-100 and 50-45 were managed by the 55~70%, $3.0{\sim}5.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ which were good condition for paprika culture in rockwool and cocopeat slabs, while those of 50-40 and 50-35 were managed by beyond 50%, $4.5{\sim}9.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. The plant height, number of branches and leaf size of 100-100 and 50-45 were similarly increased while those of 50-40 and 50-35 were decreased. The fruit size and weight of 50-40 and 50-35 were small and light, while those of 100-100 and 50-45 were similarly big and heavy. The marketable fruits of 100-100 and 50-45 treatments were similarly more by 9.7~9.8 in rockwool and 8.8~8.9 in cocopeat, while the unmarketable fruits, the small and blossom end rot fruits were increased in 50-40 and 50-35 treatments. The yield of 100-100 and 50-45 treatments were similarly high.

The use of Jerusalem artichoke containing $\beta$-1, 2-fructose oligomer in the production of sorbitol that is used as food additives and precursor for the L-sorbose has been studied. Coimmobilization of both inulinase and oxidoreductase was considered for the simultaneous reaction for hydrolysis of inulin and conversion of glucose and fructose liberated from inulin to sorbitol. Both inulinase and oxidoreductase were immobilized in chitin(5%, w/v) and K-carrageenan(4%, w/v), The activity of oxidoreductase was specified by permeabilization of Zymomonas mobilis cell with 0.2% CTAB(Cetyltrimethylammonlumbromide). The use of inulinase for hydrolysis of inulin resulted in 36.65g/l of glucose and 85.32g/1 of fructose respectively. These are valuable substrates for sorbitol production. Using these hydrolyzates, accumulation of 35.64g/l for sorbitol occurred at $38^{\circ}C$ and pH6.2. When permeabilized cells and inulinase were coimmobilized, sorbitol produced at 30.15g/l although it is low compared with 35.64g/l in separated reactor system.

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is induced by maternal antibodies to fetal platelet alloantigens. Because the main cause of NAIT is incompatibility to platelet specific antibodies, NAIT due to HLA antibodies are relatively rare. We managed a case of NAIT induced by maternal anti-HLA-B35 antibodies. The patient was a second born male. He had no petechiae or purpura at birth. He was admitted to the hospital due to fever for 5 days and a platelet count of $106\times10^9/L$. The fever subsided after admission but on the 2nd day of admission, petechiae developed on the chest wall and the platelet count decreased to $25\times10^9/L$. Other laboratory findings included C-reactive protein, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time were normal. His mother's platelet count was normal and she had no history of bleeding. Anti-HLA-B35, B52, B56, C3, and C14 were identified in the mother's serum by a panel reactive antibody test and HLA-B35 antigen was identified in the father's and patient's sera. These finding suggested that maternal Anti-HLA-B35 antibody was a response to neonatal HLA-B35 antigen inherited from the father. The patient received concentrated platelet and intravenous immunoglobulin. The platelet count rose to $248\times10^9/L$ and was maintained thereafter.
