Amaranth (Amaranth caudatus) is attracting attention as a preference crop in Gyeongsangbuk-do province. To determine its growth potential and cultivation requirements, we investigated its growth characteristics, dry matter productivity, and grain yield according to the growing period. Growth and dry matter productivity were significantly higher for plants that were sown on May $10^{th}$ when the temperature was the highest, whereas the yield was significantly higher for plants that were sown on April $10^{th}$. Amaranth grain yield ranged from 96 to 243 kg according to the sowing date and cultivation year. The optimum harvest time for plants that were sown on April $10^{th}$, May $10^{th}$, and June $10^{th}$ were 120, 110, and 110 days after seeding, respectively. The mean temperature and growing period had a significant quadratic function with yield. Based on these equations, the optimum growing temperature was estimated as $20.6^{\circ}C$ and the optimum growing period as 104-119 days after seeding.

Cell size, DNA content, chromosome and PCR-based mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene analyses were conducted to obtain basic informations for genetic stock identification of spotted flounder (Verasper variegatus) from Yeocheun, Korea. The mean erythrocytic and nuclear volumes of spotted flounder were $211.10{\mu}m^3$ and $23.03{\mu}m^3$, respectively. The haploid DNA content of this species was 0.79 pg/cell which correspond to $46.5\%$ of carp and to $22.6\%$ of mammals. Spotted flounder had the 2n = 46 acrocentric chromosomes but no heteromorphic sex chromosomes was found. Mitochondrial DNA gene for 12S ribosomal RNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the PCR products were subjected to digestion with 15 restriction endonucleases. Restriction enzyme analyses revealed that Ava I, Mae II, Sma I and Xba I had one restriction site in the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene segment of spotted flounder, while Mae I had two. Segments of 12S rRNA gene from mitochondria in spotted flounder were sequenced and compared with channel catfish and human as controls. The 12S rRNA gene of this species was more similar to that of channel catfish than to human's.

A method of dynamic analysis is developed for torsional free vibrations of elliptical-box girder type or stiffening truss system suspension bridge. In this study, the method based on a finite element technique using a digital computer, is illustrated by two numerical examples, the Namhae Bridge which is located in Kyungsang nam-do opened on June, 1973, and the Mt. Chunma Bridge is simple span pedestrian's suspension bridge with lateral bracing system in Mt. Chunma, Kyungki-do, are used. In general, dynamic modes of complex suspension bridges are three-dimensional in form, i.e., coupling between vertical and torsional motions. However, introduced that amplitudes of oscillation are infinitesimal for coincidence with the purpose of it's use, thereupon, the torsional vibration analyses are treated without coupling terms. A sufficient number of natural frequencies and mode shapes for torsional free vibration are presented in this paper. In the case of Mt. Chunma Bridge, the natural frequencies and periods are computed with and without reinforcement, respectively, and compared their discrepancies. The influence of the auxiliary reinforcing cables is prevailing in the first few modes, namely, 1st and 2nd in symmetric and 1st, 2nd and 3rd in antisymmetric vibration, and conspicuous in the symmetric compared with the antisymmetric motion, but in the higher modes, this kind of simple accessory elucidates rether converse effects. In the Namhae Bridge, the results are compared with the Manual's obtained by wind tunnel test. It reveals commendable agreement.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of pork on the cadmium detoxification in rats. Ninety male Sprague-Dawley strains were divided into five stoups based on cadmium treatment(0, 25, 50, 100, 250 ppm) and cadmium intoxication was observed for 8 weeks. During following 8 weeks, casein was replaced by Pork and the effect of pork was compared with casein. During intoxicating, the growth mte was lessened. Feed efficiency ratio was significantly low, as cadmium intake was high Discontinuing cadmium feeding, the body weights were relieve4 Pork-fed groups seemed to have higher body weight than casein-fed groups. During intoxication, hemoglobin and hematocrit were dependent upon cadmium intake. However, they became normal at detocification stage. Cadmium accumulation of the pour-fed group was lower than that of casein. Especially, the factors which affected the cadmium content in kidney were Cd(p<0.001) and $Cd^*pork(p<0.001)$. Metallothionein(MT) was increased with cadmium, and MT was not likely to be affected by pork. This study may provide scientific background of pork for detoxification from heavy metals such as cadmium.

An investigation on optimum processing conditions for meaty textured fish protein concentrate (MT-FPC) was carried out with the fish meat of filefish, Navodon modestus, and sandfish. Arctoscopus japonicus. The processing conditions were determined by the lipid content and the rehydration capacity of MT-FPC. The optimum pH and sodium chloride content of fish meat were 8.0 and 1.0%, respectively. The most effective soaking conditions were: soaking time in chilled ethanol was 15 min for both filefish and sandfish; amount of chilled ethanol, 3 volumes and 4 volumes for filefish and sandfish, respectively; temperature of chilled ethanol, $25 ^{\circ}C$ for both filefish and sandfish; soaking time in boiling ethanol, 15 and 25 min for filefish and sandfish, respectively; amount of boiling ethanol, 2 and 4 volumes for filefish and sandfish, respectively; and number of snaking in boiling ethanol, 2 and 4 times for filefish and sandfish, respectively. Yields of the product to the minced meat weight, the contents of protein and lipid in MT-FPC prepared from filefish were 13.7%, 84.5% and 0.2%, and those from sandfish were 12.5%, 84.2% and 1.1%, respectively.

A new soybean cultivar 'Daewang' was released by Agricultural Research & Extension Services, Gangwon Province in 2008. The Goals of breeding the variety was for large seed size, high yield, lodging tolerance and resistance to diseases such as soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and bacterial pustule. 'Daewang' was derived from the cross of GWS91, which has yellow seed coat, large seed size and late maturity, and 'Seokryang-putkong', which has large seed size and early maturity. The preliminary, advanced and regional yield trials for evaluation and selection were carried out from 2002 to 2007. It has a determinate growth habit with purple flower, yellow seed coat, yellow hilum and large seed weight (33.6 g per 100 seeds). The maturity date of 'Daewang' is 16 days later than the 'Taekwang'. It has a high content of total isoflavone ($1,851{\mu}g/g$). The average yield of 'Daewang' was 2.68 MT/ha in the regional yield trials (RYT) carried out in four locations in Gangwon province from 2004 to 2007 which was 4 percent higher than the check cultivar 'Taekwang'.

To prepare the management plan for reduction of the organic carbon emission caused by soil respirations, the amount of organic carbon emission from the pedosphere in Pinus densiflora community within metropolis park was quantified and then the correlations between quantified values and climate factors were analyzed. To this study, we investigated the amount of emitted organic carbon through soil respirations of Pinus densiflora community within Mt. Nam in Seoul-si, Korea, and identified correlationship with environmental factors. As a result, the average amount of organic carbons, included in soil respirations of P. densiflora community in Mt. Nam, was 7.978 ton C ha^-1 yr^-1. Also, precipitation of spring (March to May) was one of the environmental factors explaining the increase and decrease of soil respiration. This results suggest a drainage management to keep the low water content in understorey soils is important to an ecological management of metropolitan forests.
