A computer-based diagnosing system for diseases of grasses, ornamental plant and fruit trees was developed using a 16 bit personal computer (Model Acer 900) and BASIC was used as a programing language. the developed advisory system was named as Korean Plant Disease Advisory System (KOPDAS). The diagraming system files were composed of a system operation file and several database files. The knowledge-base files are composed of text files, code files and implement program files. The knowledge-base of text files are composed of 79 files of grasses diseases, 122 files of ornamental plant diseases and 67 files of fruit tree diseases. The information of each text file include disease names, causal agents, diseased parts, symptoms, morphological characteristics of causal organisms and control methods for the diagnosing of crop diseases.

Aldose reductase (AR) has been shown to play an important role in the development of the diabetic complications. To discover novel treatments for diabetic complications from natural sources, 59 Chinese herbal medicines have been investigated for inhibitory activities on AR. Among them, 10 herbal medicines, Catalpa fargesii (stem and leaf), Saussurea Laniceps(whole plant), Alnus nepalensis(stem and leaf), Swertia macrosperma (whole plant), Woodfordia fruticosa (stem and leaf), Elsholtzia bodinieri (whole plant), Elsholtzia fruticosa (whole plant), Rosa multiflora (fruit), Nardostachys chinensis (whole plant), Eurya groffii (stem and leaf) exhibited a significant inhibitory activity compared with 3,3-tetramethyleneglutaric acid (TMG) as positive control. Particularly, 4 herbal medicines, C. fargesii (stem and leaf), S. Laniceps (whole plant), A. nepalensis (stem and leaf), S. macrosperma (whole plant) showed two times more potent inhibitory activity than TMG ($5.37{\mu}g/ml$).

A nuclear power plant is composed of a number of primary components. Maintaining the integrity of these components is one of the most critical issues in nuclear industry. In order to maintain the integrity of these primary components, a complicated procedure is required including regular in-service inspection, failure assessment, fracture mechanics analysis, etc. Also, experts in different fields have to co-operate to resolve the integrity issues on the basis of inspection results. This integrity evaluation process usually takes long, and thus, is detrimental for the plant productivity. Therefore, an effective safety evaluation system is essential to manage the integrity issues on a nuclear power plant. In this paper, a web-based fatigue life evaluation system for primary components in nuclear power plant is proposed. This system provides engineering knowledge-based information and concurrent and collaborative working environment through internet, and thus, is expected to raise the efficiency of integrity evaluation procedures on primary components of a nuclear power plant.

The purpose of this research is to find som ways to model tree forms more efficiently in reference with surveying structural data and handling parameters in plant Editor of AccuRender, the AutoCAD-based rendering software adopting the procedural plant modeling technique. In case of modelling a new tree, because it is efficient to modify an existing tree data as a template, we attempted to classify 81 species' data from existing plant library including conifers and deciduous tree. According to the qualitative characteristics and quantitative parameters of geometrical and branching structure, 8 types of tree form were classified with factor and cluster analysis. Some critical aspects found in the distributions of standardized scores of parameters in each type were discussed for explaining the tree forms intuitively. For adaptability of the resulted classification and typical parameters, 10 species of tree were measured and modelled, and proved to be very similar to the real structures of tree forms. CG or CAD-based plant modelling technique would be recommended not only as a presentation tool but for planting design, landscape simulation and assessment.

The early and accurate detection of plant viruses is an essential component to control those. Because the globalization of trade by free trade agreement (FTA) and the rapid climate change promote the country-to-country transfer of viruses and their hosts and vectors, diagnosis of viral diseases is getting more important. Because symptoms of viral diseases are not distinct with great variety and are confused with those of abiotic stresses, symptomatic diagnosis may not be appropriate. From the last three decades, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), developed based on serological principle, have been widely used. However, ELISAs to detect plant viruses decrease due to some limitations such as availability of antibody for target virus, cost to produce antibody, requirement of large volume of sample, and time to complete ELISAs. Many advanced techniques allow overcoming demerits of ELISAs. Since the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) developed as a technique to amplify target DNA, PCR evolved to many variants with greater sensitivity than ELISAs. Many systems of plant virus detection are reviewed here, which includes immunological-based detection system, PCR techniques, and hybridization-based methods such as microarray. Some of techniques have been used in practical, while some are still under developing to get the level of confidence for actual use.

The system components and implementation methods to be considered when constructing a system for plant safety training in a virtual environment were classified according to plant characteristics. When constructing a safety training system based on VR, the necessary components may be different according to the characteristics of the plant, and the basic system components to be built according to the target plant are presented. In order to support the proposed system, we implemented a city gas governor safety training system, which is a relatively simple facility. Through this, we propose guidelines for the construction of a suitable VR-based plant safety training system in the plant to be applied.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a group of bacteria that can increase plant growth; but due to unfavorable environmental conditions, PGPR are biologically unstable and their survival rates in soil are limited. Therefore, the suitable application of PGPR as a plant growth stimulation is one of the significant challenges in agriculture. This study presents an intelligent formulation based on Bacillus velezensis VRU1 encapsulation enriched with nanoparticles that was able to control Rhizoctonia solani on the bean. The spherical structure of the capsule was observed based on the Scanning Electron Microscope image. Results indicated that with increasing gelatin concentration, the swelling ratio and moisture content were increased; and since the highest encapsulation efficiency and bacterial release were observed at a gelatin concentration of 1.5%, this concentration was considered in mixture with alginate for encapsulation. The application of this formulation which is based on encapsulation and nanotechnology appears to be a promising technique to deliver PGPR in soil and is more effective for plants.

The power plant is a major infrastructure composed of essential machinery such as Turbine Generators (TG), Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSG), etc. Particularly, Combined Heat & Power Plants (CHP) are highly efficient power plants that simultaneously produce heat and electricity. Recently, cases have emerged where railway tunnels are being constructed beneath such power plants due to the underground development of urban rail transportation. Therefore, there is a pressing need to assess the impact of vibrations induced by blasting excavation during the construction of railway tunnels beneath the power plant, as well as the vibrations during railway operation, on the major machinery foundations and structures within the power plant. In this study, criteria for evaluating the vibration impact on key vibration-sensitive structures are summarized, and evaluation standards based on international criteria are established. Based on this, the study examines the vibration impact during the blasting excavation method of NATM tunnels beneath the operational power plant. Furthermore, subsequent railway operation, specifically focusing on the impact of train vibrations on Turbine foundations, Pump foundations, and District Heating pipelines using 3D dynamic numerical analysis. The results indicate that vibration values corresponding to up to 97.3% of the evaluation criteria are derived based on the numerical analysis. However, considering the significance of power plant-related structures, additional measures to reduce vibrations are proposed, including further test blasting, alteration of blasting patterns, reducing the charge per delay, or decreasing advance.
