Seasonal changes of symbiotic nitrogen-fixation activity and growth characteristics of four different natural populations of kummerowia striata were quantitatively analyzed during the growing period. the nitrogen-fixation activity of root nodules attained the maximum rates of 148, 132, 102 and 100$\muM\;C_2H_4\;\cdot\;g\;fw\;nodule^{-1}\;\cdot\;hr^{-1}$, respectively for sunny, multibranched, shade and unibranched populations at the optimum growth conditions. and the seasonal changes showed fluctuations by environmental conditions such as light, temperature, nutrient contents, water stress and plant ages, etc. The multibranched plant showed the greater amount of leaf and root nodule biomass, and the higher nitrogenase activity than the unibranched plant. the optimum conditions of leaf chloropht11 and water content of each organ indicated the active growth and the maximum fresh biomass of 4 different populations were 1.92, 1.85, 0.97 and 0.56 g $fw\cdotplant^{-1}$ for shade multibranched, sunny and unibranched populations, respectively.

To produce acetoin as a precursor of the tetramethylpyrazine flavor compound from citrate by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis biovar. diacetilactis FC1, fermentation factors such as inital pH of culture media, temperature, concentration of Na-citrate, thiamin-HC1 and sugars were examined. The best acetoin production was achieved with initial pH in the culture media of 5.5, fermentation temperature of $34^{\circ}C$, Na-citrate concentration of 3%, addition of thiamin-HC1 at 2 mg/l and galactose as a carbon source. When fermentation was carried out under the optimum conditions, the exhaustion of Na-citrate and the production of acetoin took simultaneously and acetoin reached the maximum content, 80 mmole/l after 20 hours.

The growth of Porphyridium cruentum and its porphyran polysaccharide production were measured as functions of light intensity, temperature, light quality (fluorescent, blue, red, and green) and nitrate concentration. The optimum light intensity, temperature, and nitrate concentration for the growth of Porphyridium cruentum and for its polysaccharide production were 1,400 lx, $25^{\circ}C$, and 0.03%, respectively. The maximum cell concentration and polysaccharide content under the optimum conditions were 1.95 and 0.23 mg/mL, respectively. Light quality did not influence growth or polysaccharide production. The best results for growth and polysaccharide production were obtained using fluorescent light.

Optimum condition concerning the content of pretreatment print paste and steaming time for ink-jet printing was newly developed through the orthogonal analysis. The cotton fabric treated under the newly developed optimum condition could achieve a high level of colour yield similar to that of the commercially pretreated cotton fabric available in the market for ink-jet printing. The results were discussed thoroughly in this paper.

The most of waste foundry sands(WFS) have been discarded. It is very urgent for our country to make a study on recycling of WFS. The one of recycling method of WFS is using them as fine aggregate for concrete. This study provided the optimum amount of WFS and flyash when WFS and flyash were used together in concrete. The concrete made with 60% WFS fine aggregate replacement showed higher compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity than normal concrete. In the case that the flyash and WFS are replaced together, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength were improved at flyash replacement ratio $10%{\sim}20%$ and WFS replacement ratio $40%{\sim}60%$. The increase of WFS and flyash replacement led lower air content. While the increase of WFS replacement led lower slump, the increase of flyash replacement led higher slump.

Response surface methodology was used for monitoring extraction conditions, based on quality properties of old pumpkin extracts. Hunter's color L value of extracts was maximized at 101℃, 2.6 hr and decreased gradually after maximum point. The polynomial equation for Hunter's color L value showed 10% of significance level and 0.8799 of R². Hunter's color a value was minimized at 117℃, 3.9 hr and R² of polynomial equation was 0.9852 within 1% significance level. Hunter's color b value and ΔE value increased as the extracting temperature and time increased. Extraction yield of old pumpkin was maximized at 110℃, 4 hr and increased in proportional to the extracting temperature and time, but decreased after 113℃ and 2 hr. Viscosity of pumpkin extracts were maximized at 120℃, nearly 3 hr. R² of polynomial equations for yield, viscosity and sugar content were 0.9532, 0.9812 and 0.8869, respectively. Optimum ranges of extraction conditions for quality properties of old pumpkin were 102∼109℃, 2.5∼3.5 hr, respectively. Predicted values at the optimum extraction condition agreed with experimental values.

Since biomass is given the status of "renewable resource" in contrast to "exhaustible resource" e.q., fossil fuels, it plays a significant role in the sustainable development in future. We installed a downdraft gasifier for power generation from biomass materials. The biomass raw materials were wood chips with a moisture content of 18-23 wt.%, supplied at 40-50kg/h. This paper describes on the optimum gasification air ratio that is defined as the ratio of the oxygen mole supplied into the gasifier to the oxygen mole required for complete combustion for producing syngas supplied into a gas engine. The results showed that, lower heating value of the syngas was 1200 $kcal/m^3$ $_N-dry$ and cold gas efficiency of the gasification system was 72% under optimum operating conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of xylanase pretreatment of the unbleached hardwood kraft pulp during the conventional Chlorine-Extraction- Hypochlorite (CEH) bleaching on pulp property. Optimum bleaching condition was evaluated by using Novozym produced from the fungus Humicola insolens. Also the effect of chelating agent prior to enzyme treatment was analyzed. The kappa number of enzymatic bleached pulp at the enzyme charge 10 IU/ml was slightly similar to that of bleached pulp without enzyme. By enzyme treatment, the chlorine charge in conventional CEH bleaching process of hardwood KP could be reduced by 17%, while no adverse effect on pulp yield and strength was. The optimum condition for enzyme pretreatment was 10 IU/ml xylanase charge, 3 to 4 hrs treatment, and 2% pulp consistency. In sugar composition in the enzyme pretreated pulp, arabinose and mannose were not much different, but more xylose was retained. This high content of hemicellulose in pulp seems to play an important role in pulp properties. The pulp pretreatment by chelating agent prior to enzyme treatment could improve the enzyme activity and enhance the bleaching effect at 0.2% diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) charges.

The physical properties of freshly mixed steel fiber reinforced recycled concrete(SFRRC) were_investigated. Physical state and quality of fresh concrete were monitored batch by batch. the properties of freshly mixed SFRRC were determined in terms of slump, air content, superplasticizer, and bleeding ratio. Concrete mixtures were produced for three kinds of aggregate proportions. So, the experimental variables are various aggregate proportions, steel fiber contents(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5%) and steel length(30, 50, 60mm). From experimental results, optimum s/a by various experimental variables, variations of the slump by the air contents, and optimum superplasticizer to decrease unit water were presented.

Due to the increase in the usage of explosive materials and terrorism, the interest towards the superior explosion protective HPFRCC has risen. In existing research, the optimum ratio for solving the problematic problems such as the optimum fiber incorporation rate and the self-shrinkage crack of HPFRCC had been derived. However, there had been few or even no research upon how effective HPFRCC would perform protective explosion-proof in actual explosion. Therefore, this research compared the explosion-proof performance of HPFRCC according to fiber commination and mixing ratio. As a result, the combination of steel fiber and organic fiber showed excellent flow and strength, and it also improved the explosion resistance.
