This experiments was carried out to evaluate the effect of nitrogen retention on different levels of crude protein intake according to live weight, and the crude protein and urea content in serum of the Korean native goat. The results obtained are as follows: 1. When the female goat at 8 months age (14kg) had taken nitrogen free diet, the content of endogenous urinary nitrogen was 1.29g and endogenous fecal nitrogen was 1.27g per day. Therefore, the goat needs minimum level of crude protein per day. 2. When the thermometer checked below-$10^{\circ}C$, the nitrogen retention rate showed minus reaction in spite of 20% crude protein level. This suggested that the low temperature was consumed higher energy to maintain the body. 3. The nitrogen retention rate of the pregnant female goat of 20kg live weight, however, decreased as compared with the growing goat and was 17~20%. 4. According to the levels of crude protein were lower, crude protein and urinary nitrogen contents in serum were greatly decreased.

Thermal behavior of poly (methyl methacrylate) was analyzed in the presence of tin (IV) chloride. Five different proportions - polymer to additive - were selected for casting films from common solvent. TG, DTG and DTA were employed to monitor thermal degradation of the systems. IR and py-GC-MS helped identify the decomposition products. The blends start degrading at a temperature lower than that of the neat polymer and higher than that of the pure additive. Complex formation between tin of additive and carbonyl oxygen (pendent groups of MMA units) was noticed in the films soon after the mixing of the components in the blends. The samples were also heated at three different temperatures to determine the composition of residues left after the expulsion of volatiles. The polymer, blends and additive exhibited a one step, two-step and three-step degradation, respectively. $T_0$ is highest for the polymer, lowest for the additive and is either $60^{\circ}C$ or $70^{\circ}C$ for the blends. The amount of residue increases down the series [moving from blend-1 (minimum additive concentration) to blend-5 (maximum additive concentration)]. For blend-1, it is 7% of the original mass whereas it is 16% for blend-5. $T_{max}$ also goes up as the concentration of additive in the blends is elevated. The complexation appears to be the cause of observed stabilization. Some new products of degradation were noted apart from those reported earlier. These included methanol, isobutyric acid, acid chloride, etc. Molecular-level mixing of the constituents and "positioning effect" of the additive may have brought about the formation of new compounds. Routes are proposed for the appearance of these substances. Horizontal burning tests were also conducted on polymer and blends and the results are discussed. Activation energies and reaction orders were calculated. Activation energy is highest for the polymer, i.e., 138.9 Kcal/mol while the range for blends is from 51 to 39 Kcal/mol. Stability zones are highlighted for the blends. The interaction between the blended parts seems to be chemical in nature.

This study was performed to search a physical method having high yield and quality and minimum environmental pollution for extraction of pectin from apple pomace. Based on the physical solubilization of plant cell wall under the condition of high temperature, pressure and shearing stress, apple pomace was treated by a corotating intermeshing type twin-screw extruder with the diameter-to-length ratio of 1/20. The specific mechanical energy of extruder was introduced as system parameter for extrusion process modeling and the shaft speed, feed rate and moisture content as process variables. The yield, average molecular weight and galacturonic acid content of water-soluble polysaccharides obtained by extrusion were, respectively, modeled with the linear functions of the system parameter which was of the form as a linear function of process variables. The specific mechanical energy increased with increase of shaft speed and with decrease of feed rate and moisture content. Out of process variables, moisture content had the greatest effect on specific mechanical energy. The yield increased with increase of specific mechanical energy while the average molecular weight and galacturonic acid content increased with its decrease. In aspects of yield and quality of pectin, the results from this study showed the possibility to replace a traditional acidic method with the extrusion treatment of this study.

In this study, $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin films are prepared on quartz substrates by the pulsed laser deposition and their optical and electrical properties are investigated as the function of substrate temperatures ($200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$) at the fixed oxygen pressure of 200 mTorr. The XRD measurement shows that polycrystalline $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin films are formed. In the XRD measurement, the intensity of the (400) $In_2O_3$ peak at $35.5^{\circ}$ decreases and that of the (222) $In_2O_3$ peak at $30.6^{\circ}$ increases with the increase substrate temperature up to $500^{\circ}C$. From the result of AFM measurement, the morphology of $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin films are observed as round-type grains. The lowest surface roughness (6.15 nm) is obtained for the $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin film fabricated at $500^{\circ}C$. The optical transmittance of $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin films are higher than 82% in the visible region. The maximum carrier concentration of $2.46{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ and the minimum resistivity of $1.36{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ are obtained also for the $In_2O_3-ZnO$ thin film fabricated at $500^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to develop a cylindrical paperpot manufacturing equipment which is capable of continuously producing paperpots with a constant size. The equipment consists of the soil supply part, the paper supply part, the pot manufacturing part, the paperpot cutting part and its process for manufacturing paperpot from the soil supply to the paperpot cutting is continuously performed. As a result of the performance test using this equipment, we suggest that the optimal moisture content and injection pressure to supply soil are 50%~60%, and 0.5 Mpa respectively. Moreover the appropriate temperature for adhesive strength is $150{\sim}160^{\circ}C$ taking into account the performance of device and adhesion time. Also, considering the cutting speed and safety, it is appropriate to adopt a straight blade having a clean plan at a minimum angle of $30^{\circ}$. In addition, the manufacturing capacity of the developed equipment was 3300 pots per hour.

A wilt disease on lettuce was observed in 2006 and 2007 in commercial plastic house at main production areas of lettuce in Icheon, Yongin and Goyang of Gyeonggi Province. The disease was characterized by the wilting of lower leaves, accompanied by stunting symptoms of the whole plants. Old affected stems showed the black streak in the vascular system. The pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae was isolated from stems and roots of diseased plants. Isolated pathogen also produced the microconidia and macroconidia with chlamydospores on carnation leaf agar medium. The pathogen easily invaded and made many chlamydospores on the roots of lettuce and also made dark streaking through the vascular in the lettuce stems. The density of Fusarium sp. in the severely diseased field soil was more higher populations than that in the healthy and less diseased field soil. The minimum population of pathogen would be above $10^3$cfu/g soil to induce the Fusarium wilt on lettuce in plastic house. The results of pathogenicity test showed 'Sunpung' and 'Mipungpochap' was high susceptible to Fusarium pathogen isolates while some cultivar 'Mihongjeokchukmyeon' and 'Jinjachukmyeon' showed moderate resistance. Disease development for some lettuce was related to treated temperature, so the symptom was more severe above $25^{\circ}C$. Selection of appropriate lettuce cultivar and planting time should be related for the successful control of Fusarium wilt.

Gynura procumbens (Family Asteraceae) is a medicinal plant commonly found in tropical Asia countries such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Traditionally, it is widely used in many different countries for the treatment of a wide variety of health ailments such as kidney discomfort, rheumatism, diabetes mellitus, constipation, and hypertension. The objective of this study was to select the natural growth media for hydroponic cultivation of Gynura procumbens. The commercially available thirty four different organic nutrient solutions were analyzed for growing Gynura procumbens. After analysis, two organic nutrient solution were selected, mixed (pH 5.5~6.5 / EC 0.5~1.0 ds/m) and then used as organic fertilizers. Thirty day old seedlings were planted and the environmental conditions of the rhizosphere were also examined to select the natural media composition. The minimum temperature of rhizosphere by type of natural media was highest in cocopeat media and lowest in perlite media. Furthermore, plant growth was examined from 50 days old seedlings, and vermiculite was observed to be most effective and perlite was the least effective component as natural media. The total polyphenol content of the studied plant material was also higher in vermiculite in comparison to other growth media. The Gynura procumbens yields were also higher in vermiculite in comparison to other growth media. Thus, vermiculite can be used to improve Gynura procumbens plant growth as a natural growth media.

The protein contents of soy protein isolate (SPI) and soft wheat flours were 83.5% and 8.5%, respectively. The addition of SPI increased the protein content but decreased the sedimentation value. Alkaline water retention capacity (AWRC) value increased with SPI addition and was highly correlated with protein content. Increasing SPI flour content significantly decreased the maximum, minimum and final viscosities. Mixograph peak time was positively correlated with protein content and AWRC. The PH and specific gravity of the cake batter increased with increasing SPI content. The SPI addition reduced the loaf and specific loaf volume compared with soft wheat flour. The lightness of the cake crust decreased, while the redness and yellowness increased, with SPI flour addition. SPI addition resulted in a decrease of overall acceptability, but an increase in hardness.

The geology of the talc ore deposits in the Chungju area consists of the Kyemyeongsan Formation, the Munjuri Formation, the Daehyangsan Quartzite, the Hyangsanni Dolomite, and the basic rocks of the Ogcheon belt. The talc ore occurs in the Hyangsanni Dolomite near the Daehyangsan Quartzite The mineral assemblages in the Hyangsanni Dolomite are \circled1calcite-tremolite-talc-quartz, \circled2calcite-talc-quartz, \circled3tremolite-calcite-dolomite, and \circled4calcite-dolomite-phlogopite-chlorite. Talc has almost the ideal composition($X_{Mg}$=Mg/(Fe+Mg)=0.98). Talc was formed in siliceous dolomite by the medium-pressure type regional metamorphism. The evidences for contact metamorphism and/or hydrothermal reaction are not clear. The metamorphic grade of the Hyangsanni Dolomite and its adjacent pelitic or basic rocks near the deposits corresponds to epidote-amphibolite facies or greenschist facies based on the, mineral assemblages of \circled1hornblendebiotite-muscovite-epidote-quartz \circled2biotite-chlorite-quartz, and \circled3hornblende-actinolite-plagioclasequartz. The formation of the talc deposits were caused by the following reactions due to greenschist facies metamorphism of siliceous-dolomitic rocks in the Hyansanni Dolomite. (I) 3 dolomite+4 quartz+$H_2O$= talc+ 3 calcite +3 $CO_2$; (11) 3 tremolite+ 2 $H_2O$+ 6 $CO_2$= 5 talc+ 6 calcite + 4 quartz. The minimum temperature of the talc-tremolite-quartz assemblage is about $434^{\circ}C$ from calcite thermometry and the carbon dioxide mole fraction in metamorphic fulid($X_{$CO_2$}$) is about 0.1 at assumed pressure, 3 kbar.

An X-ray tube used an X-ray fluorescence analysis system has a low X-ray photon intensity which results in reducing measurement accuracy and increasing exposure time. These shortages can be overcame by using a monocapillary optics. A monocapillary optics was optimally designed for focusing the characteristic X-ray of tungsten (8.4 keV). The monocapillary optics can achieve a gain of 10 at the least. The monocapillary optics was fabricated by using puller and pyrex glass, raw material. In fabrication, a weigh of 45g and a temperature of $650^{\circ}$ was loaded. The total fabrication time was 460 minutes. The fabricated capillary had 87 mm in length and maximum diameter of 300 ${\mu}m$ and minimum diameter of 192 ${\mu}m$. When the fabricated monocapillary optics is applied to an X-ray fluorescence analysis system, the detection accuracy for soft elements, for example sulfur (S), will be improved.
