This study was carried out in order to estimate water losses in irrigation canals, which may be used to evaluate the water requirement for irrigation projects. The conveyance losses were measured by the inflow-outflow method, the seepage losses were measured by the ponding method, and the operation losses in the course of irrigation were calculated by comparing the two kinds of losses. The results obtained in this experiment were as follows; 1. Conveyance losses per unit area of wetted perimeter by the main irrigation canal, the secondary irrigation canal and the tributary irrigation canal, were 1.399${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$, 5.154${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$, and 2.67${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ respectively in the Goong-sa area. And they were 1.934${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$, 2.149${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$, and 4.558${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ respectively in the Seong-dug area. 2. Seepage losses per unit area of wetted perimeter by the secondary irrigation canal and the tributary irrigation canal, were 2.180${\times}10^{-6}m^3/sec/m^2$ and 2.168${\times}10^{-6}m^3/sec/m^2$ in the Goong-sa area, 1.150${\times}10^{-6}m^3/sec/m^2$ and 1.084${\times}10^{-6}m^3/sec/m^2$ in the Seong-dug area respectively. 3. Operation losses per unit area of wetted perimeter by the secondary irrigation canal and the tributary irrigation canal, were 4.936${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ and 2.453${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ in the Goong-sa area, 2.034${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ and 4.450${\times}10^{-5}m^3/sec/m^2$ in the Seong-dug area respectively. 4. Conveyance, seepage and operation losses in the Goong-sa area were 6.7%, 94.6%, and 14.0% more than those in the Seong-dug area. Operation losses amount to about 17 times as much as seepage losses in the Goong-sa area and about 29 times in the Seong-dug area. 5. The seepage losses depend much on the soil texture, ranging from 7.437${\times}10^{-7}m^3/sec/m^2$ to 2.430${\times}10^{-6}m^3/sec/m^2$. 6. Water loss rates in the main irrigatin canal, the secondary irrigation canal and the tributary irrigation canal, were estimated as 8.49%, 37.27% and 9.81% respectively in the Goong-sa area. And they were estimated as 15.10%, 32.67% and 13.78% respectively in the Seong-dug area.

Type and three-dimensional morphology of carbides precipitated in the X(X= 1.70, 1.92, 2.21, 2.50, 2.86)%C-5%Cr-5%V-5%Mo-5%W-5%Co multi-component white cast iron were investigated using an optical microscope and SEM. The types of carbides precipitated were MC, M$_2$C and M$_{7}$C$_{3}$. Morphology of the MC carbide took three forms, that it petal-like, nodular and coral-like. MC carbide seemed to change its morphology from petal-like through nodular, and finally to coral-like with an increase in carbon content. M7C carbide was classified into lamellar and plate-like type. The lamellar M$_2$C arbide precipitated in the iron with low molybdenum and tungsten contents, and higher contents of both elements in the iron were needed to form the plate-like M$_2$C carbide. The morphology of M$_{7}$C$_{3}$ was rod-like similar to that observed in high chromium white cast iron. However, cobalt does not affect the type and morphology of precipitated carbides.des.

The study is to measure a variation of exposed dose on genital glands (ovary, testis) which are exposed to radiation during the defecography to diagnosis domain according to use of filters and to look into its utility. whose results are as follows: The measured values of dose were the left ovary 23.4mGy, the right ovary 7.5mGy, the testis 10.3mGy in case of not using filter at all, the left ovary 22.4mGy the right ovary 7.0mGy, the testis 9.5mGy in case of using an additional filter only, the left ovary 26.7mGy, the right ovary 8.4mGy, the testis 11.5mGy in case of using a defeco filter only and the left ovary 20.5mGy, the right ovary 6.2mGy, the testis 7.5mGy in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, respectively. When comparing with the value in case of not using filter at all, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 10%, the dose to right ovary by 5% and the testis by 8% respectively in case of using an additional filter only. While the dose to the left ovary increased by 33%, the dose to right ovary by 9% and the testis by 12% respectively gonad a defeco filter only. And in case of using both an additional filter and a defeco filter, the dose to the left ovary decreased by 29%, the dose to right ovary by 13% and the testis by 28% respectively. In other words, the dose increased in case of using a defeco filter only while the dose decreased markedly on the rest conditions such as using an additional filter only, using a defeco filter only and using both an additional filter and a defeco filter.

5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the formation of two major groups of leukotrienes, LTB4 and cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLT), and it has been implicated as a promising drug target to treat various inflammatory diseases. Since its role in mature osteoclasts (mOCs) had not been reported, we investigated the effect of 5-LO inhibitors on mOCs. We showed that 5-LO inhibitors dose-dependently decreases the number of mOCs. The effects of 5-LO inhibitors were reversible, suggesting that they did not cause any cellular damages in mOCs. We further demonstrated that the suppression of mOCs by 5-LO inhibitors was caused mainly by disruption of the actin ring formation. Similar effects were shown with CysLT receptor (CysLTR)1 antagonist in mOCs. The mRNA expression of CysLTR1 and the production of CysLT were increased in mOCs. These results indicate that CysLTR1 mediates the suppression of mOCs by 5-LO inhibitors. Taken together, this study demonstrated that 5-LO plays important role in mOCs and possibly a novel therapeutic target for bone resorption diseases.

This stduy was carried out in order to investigate the effects of cryoprotective concentration and equilibration time on survival rate of ultrarapidly frozen in vitro fertilized bovine embryos. In vitro fertilized bovine embryos, following dehydration by cryoprotective agents and sucorese were directly plunged into liquid nitrogen and thawed in 38$^{\circ}C$ water. Survival rate was defined by development rate to the morula and blaqstocyst stage after in vitro culture of by FDA test. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The survival rates of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.25M sucroese added 2.0M, 2.5M, 3.0M, 3.5M, 4.0M glycerol were 75.0%, 72.0%, 67.6%, 44.8% and 18.3% respectively. 2. The survival rates of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.25M sucrose added 2.0M, 2.5M, 3.0M, 3.5M, 4.0M DMSO were 64.0%, 66.7%, 70.8%, 52.7% and 18.6, respectively. 3. The survival rates of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.25M sucrose added 2.0M, 2.5M, 3.0M, 3.5M, 4.0M propanediol were 68.4%, 64.9%, 63.2%, 62.2% and 34.7%, respectively. 4. The survival rates of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 2.50M glycerol added 0.1M, 0.25M, 0.5M, 0.75M, sucrose were 60.5%, 72.2%, 70.1% and 54.9%, respectively. The survival rate of in vitro fertilized embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 2.5M glycerol added 0.25M sucrose were higher than concentration of 0.10M, 0.50M and 0.75M sucrose. 5. The equilibration time on the survival rate of in vitro fertilized bovine embryos was attained after short period of time(2.5~5min.) in the freezing medium added 0.25M sucrose and 3.0M DMSO higher than long period time(1~20min.).

The purpose of this study was to investigate a proper $Ca^{2+}\;:\;K^+$ ratio in nutrient solution to produce marjoram and oregano by hydroponics. Two herbs were grown for 40 days with the $Ca^{2+}\;:\;K^+$ ratio of 3.5;13, 4.5:11(standard herb's nutrient solution), 5.5:9 and 6.5:7mM${\cdot}L^{-1}$ of herb's nutrient solution developed by European Vegetable R &D Center, Belgium. The ratio of 5.5:9, and 6.5:7 mM${\cdot}L^{-1}$ showed better results in growth of marjoram than other treatments. Vitamin C contents and amounts of esential oil were the highest in the ratio of 5.5:9 and 6.5:7, respectively. Inoregano, the growth and vitamin C contents were the highest in the ratio of 5.5:9 and 6.5:7 mM${\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. The content (%) and amount (mg/plant) of essential oil were the highest in the ratio of 6.5:7mM${\cdot}L^{-1}$. These results indicated that 5.5:9 and 6.5:7 mM${\cdot}L^{-1}$were proper $Ca^{2+}\;:\;K^+$ ratio of nutrient solution of marjoram and oregano, respectively, by hydropoinics.

Effects of polyamines such as cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine and spermine on the self-splicig inhibition of the T4 phage thymidylate synthase(td) intron by spectinomycin have been investrigated. Without polyamine 7mM spectinomycin caused 40% reduction of the splicing rate. Cadaverine reduced the splicing rate over the concentrations of 0.1 to 5 mM. Putrescine at 0.5 mM increased the splicing rate by 13%. Spermidine at 0.5 mM enhanced the splicing rate by 11% while spermine at 0.01 mM enhanced the splicing rate by 16%. Of the all polyamines tested, spermine exhibited the maximum activation effect to counteract the splicing inhibition by spectinomycin. This effect appears to be due to the role of polyamine in stabilizing the conformation of td intron ribozyme essential for the catalytic function.

A model experiment on the pair midwater trawl net which is prevailing in Denmark is carried out to get the basic data available for Korean pair bottom trawlers. The model net was made in 1/30 scale considering the Tauti's Similarity law of fishing gear and the dimension of experimental tank. The vertical opening, horizontal opening, towing tension and net working depth of the model net were determined in the tank within the towing velocity 0.46~1.15m/sec, front weight 15.5~62.0g and distance between paired boats 5~8m(which correpond to 2~5k't in towing velocity, 70~280kg in weight and 150~240m in distance respectively in the prototype net). The results got from the model experiment can be converted into the full scale net as follows; 1. Vertical opening showed the largest value of 32m at the condition of 2k't in towing velocity, 280kg in front weight and 150m in the distance between paired boats, and the smallest value of 6m at the condition of 5k't in towing velocity, 70kg in front weight and 240m in the distance between paired boats. 2. Horizontal opening showed the largest value of 45m at the condition of 5k't in towing velocity, 70kg in front weight and 240m in the distance between paired boats, and the smallest value of 33m at the condition of 2k't in towing velocity, 280kg in front weight and 150m in the distance between paired boats. 3. Towing tension showed the largest value of 10, 000kg at the condition of 5k't in towing velocity, 280kg in front weight and 240m in the distance between paired boats, and the smallest value of 1, 600kg at the condition of 2k't in towing velocity, 70kg in front weight and 150m in the distance between paired boats. 4. Net working depth showed the largest value of 38m at the condition of 2k't in towing velocity, 280kg in front weight and 150m in the distance between paired boats, and the smallest value of 6m at the condition of 5k't in towing velocity, 70kg in front weight and 240m in the distance between paired boats. 5. Net opening area showed the largest value of 1, 100m super(2) at the condition of 2k't in towing velocity, 280kg in front weight and 180m in the distance between paired boats, and the smallest value of 250m super(2) at the condition of 5k't in towing velocity, 70kg in front weight and 240m in the distance between paired boats.

This study investigated the spatial distribution of dust originating from tunnel-ventilated windowless broiler building measuring 12 m wide, 61 m long, with a side wall height of 3 m and a capacity of 16,982 birds. Dust concentrations in terms of total suspended particles (TSP), and particulate matter of sizes $10\;{\mu}m$(PM10), $2.5\;{\mu}m$(PM2.5), and $1\;{\mu}m(PM1)$ were measured at 30 minutes interval by using GRIMM Aerosol Monitor (GRIMM AEROSOL). The spatial distribution of dust showed the lower dust concentration in the inlet than in the outlet of the tunnel ventilation, and dust concentration decreasing as the dust size decreased, as follows: $317.9\;{\mu}g/m^3$ TSP; $74.7{\mu}m/m^3$ PM10; $9.7\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM2.5; and $6.2\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM1 in the inlet; and $2,678.5\;{\mu}g/m^3$ TSP; $555.5\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM10; $33.3\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM2.5; and $10.2\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM1 in the outlet. The dust concentration emitted from the tunnel ventilated fan was $446.6\;{\mu}g/m^3$ TSP; $129.1\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM10; $15.8\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM2.5; and $6.1\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM1 in the 3 meters from the fan and $25.1\;{\mu}g/m^3$ TSP; $8.8\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM10; $5.6\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM2.5; and $4.9\;{\mu}g/m^3$ PM1 in the 50 meters from the fan.

To elucidate the effects of purinergic nerve on relaxation of pig coronary artery, the effects of ATP, 2-methylthio ATP and electrical perivascular nerve stimulation were investigated from physiograph on the isolated coronary artery of pig. The results btained were as follows; 1. The relaxative responses induced by perivascular nerve stimulation(20V, 0.5msec, 10sec) were the frequency(1~8Hz) dependent manner with phentolamine($10^{-5}M$) and atropine($10^{-6}M$) on isolated coronary artery of pig. 2. The relaxative responses induced. by adenosine($10^{-7}{\sim}5{\times}10^{-3}M$) or ATP($10^{-7}{\sim}5{\times}10^{-5}M$) on precontraction with histamine($10^{-5}M$) were the dose-dependent manner, but the contractile responses were often induced by ATP($10^{-4}M$ and $10^{-3}M$). 3. The relaxative responses induced by 2-methylthio ATP($2.5{\times}10^{-8}{\sim}2.5{\times}10^{-6}M$) on precontraction with histamine($10^{-5}M$) were the dose-dependent manner. 4. The relaxative response induced by 2-methylthio ATP($10^{-7}M$) on precontraction with histamine($10^{-5}M$) was completely blocked by the pretreatment with $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor blocker, reactive blue 2($10^{-4}M$). 5. The neurogenic relaxative response induced by perivascular nerve stimulation(20V, 8Hz, 0.5msec, 10sec) was weakly inhibited by the pretreatment with ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor blocker, propranolol($10^{-5}M$) and blocked by the addition with $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor blocker, reactive blue 2($10^{-4}M$). The results suggest that the purinergic nerve is innervated, and its relaxative response was mediated by $P_{2Y}$-purinoceptor on isolated coronary artery in pig.
