  • In recent times, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such as heavy rains and typhoons, have been increasing due to the impacts of climate change. This has led to a rise in social and economic damages. Rural areas, in particular, possess limited disaster response capabilities due to their underdeveloped infrastructure and are highly vulnerable to flooding. Therefore, it is crucial to establish preventative and responsive measures. In this study, an Inventory-Based Flood Loss Estimation (IB-FLE) method utilizing high-resolution spatial information was developed for estimating flood-related losses in rural areas. Additionally, the developed approach was applied to a study area and compared with the Multidimensional Flood Damage Analysis (MD-FDA) method. Compared to the MD-FDA, the IB-FLE enables faster and more accurate estimation of flood damages and allows for the assessment of individual building and agricultural land losses using up-to-date information. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the rational allocation of budgets for rural flood damage prevention and recovery, as well as enhancing disaster response capabilities.

  • The regulatory mechanism of the flux of acetyl-CoA in Alcaligenes eutrophus in unbalanced growth conditions was investigated using a PHB-negative mutant and transformants reintroduced PHB-biosynthesis enzymes through the transformation of cloned phbCAB genes. The PHB-negative mutant was defected absolutly in PHB synthase but partially in ${\beta}$-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl-CoA reductase, and excreted substantial amount of pyruvate to culture broth at late growth phase. The excretion was due to the inhibitory effect of acetyl-CoA on the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase. The cloned phbC and phbCAB genes were transformed to the PHB-negative mutant strain to reintroduce PHB biosythesis enzymes. Pyruvate excretion could be decreased substantially but not completely by transformation of PHB synthase alone, while pyruvate excretion was ceased by transformation of all three PHB biosynthesis enzymes. To identify the most critical PHB biosynthesis enzyme influencing on the flux of acetyl-CoA, the effect of the variation of PHB biosynthesis enzymes on pyruvate dehydrogenase was investigated. ${\beta}$-Ketothiolase influenced the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase more sensitively than PHB synthase. ${\beta}$-Ketothiolase, the first step enzyme of PHB biosynthesis that condense acetyl-CoA to acetoacetyl-CoA, seems to be the major enzyme determining the flux of acetyl-CoA to PHB biosynthesis or TCA cycle, and the rate of PHB biosynthesis in A. eutrophus.

  • $CO_2$ gas 처리가 배추 자가불화합성 타파에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 배추 inbred line의 암술에서 mRNA를 분리하여 DD-PCR을 수행하였다. $CO_2$ gas를 처리한 암술에서 분리한 mRNA와 처리하지 않은 꽃에서 분리한 암술 mRNA 발현과의 특이적인 차이를 DD-PCR로 조사한 결과 세 가지 각기 다른 anchor primer에 대해 모두 18개의 특이적 증폭 DNA fragment를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 결과로 미루어 보아 $CO_2$ gas 처리에 의한 암술 mRNA발현의 변화가 배추 자가불화합성 타파에 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각된다.

  • University campuses, in Korea, experienced expansion during the 1970's and exceeded its capacity in the 1980's. On the other hand, universities needed to deal with increasing capacity and expansion of its facilities. This study is carried out in three steps : developing the factors of environmental friendly assessment, designing an assessment table based on specific categories, and applying the categories to the campus of Seoul National University. The assessment factors and assessment table were designed through a survey of experts in landscaping, architecture, and urban planning. The elements of major categories were classified as follows; 1) Management of land and accessibility, 2) Pollution and waste matter, 3) Energy, 4) Natural resources, 5) Operation, maintenance and management of environmental friendly campus. And, this study classified five major categories into twenty subcategories on the evaluation of the environmental friendly campus. The twenty subcategories include various fields such as architecture, landscape architecture, environment, urban design, and social sciences etc., profound studies at this line should make more precise assesment guidelines.

  • Limestone is an important commodity in Philippines. Limestone has numerous uses that range from agricultural applications to building materials to medicines. Many limestone products require rock with specific physical and chemical characteristics. Most limestone is biochemical in origin meaning the calcium carbonate in the stone originated from shelled oceanic creatures. In this paper, we reported the natural sources of limestone, geological formation of limestone and the oyster shell waste in Cebu, Bantayan, Philippines were reported. Due to the mining or quarrying in Cebu, Bantayan, in a limestone area poses the threat of groundwater pollution (since limestone is a porous geologic formation with a high transmissivity). The other environmental issue is oyster shell waste. The oyster shell waste is the major source of limestone. We developed and applied appropriate technologies for the extraction of limestone from oyster shell waste and utilizes as high value added material.

  • In order to study the distribution characteristics of natural volatile organic compounds (NVOCs), we investigated the seasonal variations of $\alpha$-and $\beta$-pinene levels in a pine forest in Florida for a you. The mean concentrations of $\alpha$- and $\beta$-pinene measured during the whole study period were computed to be 125: 86 (N = 65) and 86$\pm$52 pptv (N = 56), respectively. According to our data grouping scheme, the seasonal means for both pinones were observed to peak during fall with their max and min values in summer and winter, respectively. The overall results of our study suggest that terpenes are subject to highly strong temporal variability because of changes in their major source characteristics across seasons.

  • The objective of this study was to determine the effects of yeast cultures (Candida zeylanoides and Debaryomyces hansenii) isolated from traditionally dry fermented Turkish sucuks, on some physicochemical and microbiological properties of the product. Eight different batches of the sucuks were produced by the inoculation of yeast and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cultures (Lactobacillus curvatus, Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sakei) in different combinations. The sucuks were ripened for 12 days and analyzed at 1st, 6th, and 12th days of ripening. Percent moisture content, pH, water activity (aw) and residual nitrite values of the sucuk inoculated with the yeast cultures were higher at the end of the ripening. The use of yeast cultures decreased hardness, gumminess, and chewiness values of the sucuk while increased adhesiveness values. Major volatile groups were aldehydes, terpenes, and sulphur compounds in the sucuk samples. The most noticeable results were for sensory properties of the sucuk that were positively improved by the yeast cultures.

  • Light enhancement of GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been investigated by texturing the top p-GaN surface. Nano-textured LEDs have been fabricated using self-assembled Ni nano mask during dry etching process. Experimental results were further compared with simulation data. Three types of LEDs were fabricated: Conventional (planar LED), Surface nano-porous (porous LED) and Surface nano-cluster (cluster LED). Compared to planar LED there were about 100% and 54% enhancement of light output power for porous and cluster LED respectively at an injection current of 20 mA. Moreover, simulation result showed consistency with experimental result. The increased probability of light scattering at the nano-textured GaN-air interface is the major reason for increasing the light extraction efficiency.

  • In order to investigate the compositions and the emission rates of monoterpenes emitted from coniferous trees, those from Larix leptoleis (Sieb, et Zucc.) Gordon were measured. In spring and summer, the major monoterpenes were ${\alpha}-terpinene,\;{\alpha}-pinene$, myrcene; however, ${\alpha}-pinene\;and\;{\alpha}-terpinene$ were most abundant in fall. The total mean monoterpene emission rates were $0.455\;({\mu}gC/gdw/hr)$ during the whole period. The higher monoterpene emission rates were found in fall compared to those in spring and summer. In addition, the slopes (${\beta}\;value$) between emission rate and temperature were two times lower in fall than those in spring and summer. It was also found that Larix leptoleis (Sieb. et Zucc.) Cordon had lower monoterpene emission rates than P. densiflora and P. rigida.
