Crude saponin, extracted from the starfish Asterias amurensis, was assessed for its capacity as a biological pesticide. As part of this analysis, its insecticidal and repellent activities, in addition to its acute and chronic toxicities were tested. In comparison with the control group, insecticidal activity of saponin against tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura, in kale, Brassica loeracea was low at 36.4%. Repellent activities of the extracted saponin against green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and S. litura, on soybean leaf, Glycine max and kale were 65.6% and 35.0% at $1^{st}$ day, and 54.5% and 30.0% at $3^{rd}$ day, respectively. Acute and chronic toxicity analysis was carried out using acute immobilizatioin test and reproduction impairment test, respectively. The saponin had 48 h-$EC_{50}$ of $65.21{\mu}g/mL$. Twenty-one day accumulative reproduction after treatment was lower in Daphnia magna at $7{\mu}g/mL$ saponin (78 youngs), compared with the control group (129 youngs). These results indicate that the extracted saponin exhibited some toxicity and has potential as a repellent against insects.

Quantitative gas chromatographic method for determining the ant repellent activity of cineol, ${\alpha}$-terpineol, linalool, and piperitone which usually found in Chinese Prickly Ash Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. was developed. These monoterpenes showed higher ant repellent activities than DEET due perhaps to their volatility. Gas chromatographic method quantified the volatility of the four monoterpenes and DEET.

The electronic industries require environmentally-friendly and highly functional materials to enhance the quality of human life. Home appliances require insect repellent steels that work to protect household microwave ovens from incurring damage by insects such as fire ants and cockroaches in tropical regions. Thus, POSCO has developed new types of functional steels, coated with an array of organic-inorganic hybrid composites on the steel surface, to cover panels in microwave ovens and refrigerators. The composite solution uses a fine dispersion of hybrid solution with polymeric resin, inorganic and a pyrethroid additive in aqueous media. The hybrid composite solution coats the steel surface, by using a roll coater and is cured using an induction curing furnace on both the continuous galvanizing line and the electro-galvanizing line. The new steels were evaluated for quality performances, salt spray test for corrosion resistance and biological performance for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activity. The new steels with organic-inorganic composite coating exhibit extraordinarily biological functionalities, for both insect repellent and antimicrobial activities for short and long term tests. The composite-coating solution and experimental results are discussed and suggest that the molecular level dispersion of insecticide on the coating layer is key to biological functional performances.

충북 청주지역에서 채집된 작은소피참진드기(Haemaphysalis longicornis)에 대하여 다양한 식물체 메탄올 조추출물과 천궁유래 물질들을 이용하여 살비활성과 기피활성을 조사하였다. 총 24종의 식물추출물을 이용한 작은소피참진드기에 대한 살비활성을 조사한 결과, 천궁(Cnidium officinale)에서 93.3%의 살비율로 가장 높은 활성을 보였으며, 기피 효과의 경우 도라지, 미국자리공, 백목련, 어성초, 천궁, 칡잎 등에서 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 기피 및 살비활성이 가장 높은 천궁의 메탄올추출물을 용매 분획한 물질들과 천궁 유래물질인 butylidenephthalide의 활성을 비교한 결과, 헥산(hexane)층 처리 3일 후에 90%의 높은 살비효과를 보였으며 기피반응도 통계적으로 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 천궁유래물질인 butylidenephthalide은 처리 7일 후에 90%의 살비활성을 보였고 T-tube olfactometer 실험에서 모든 작은소피참진드기가 무처리구로 이동하여 기피활성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 천궁 조추출물과 천궁유래물질인 butylidenephthalide를 이용하여 작은 소피참진드기의 방제 개발에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The exposure to house dust mites is closely connected with allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis and asthma. Control of house dust mite populations has been principally achieved by using chemical insecticides. But the risk to human health would be a potential problem. Moreover, house dust mite remain as allergens even after death. Therefore, repelling the house dust mites is more effective method than killing them. The use of plant-derived repellents has been considered as a promising alternative to chemical repellents. Eucalyptus oils are regarded as safe compounds, there have been attempts to commercialize and market the insecticides/repellent products containing Eucalyptus oil as such or based upon them. For that reason, we experimented repellent activity against these mites using laundry detergent with Eucalyptus oil in this experiment. House dust mites (Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) were exposed at different concentrations (4, 8, 16, $32{\mu}L/mL$) in fabric treated laundry detergent with Eucalyptus oil for 24 hours. The repellent effects (%) of laundry detergent with Eucalyptus oil exposed at 4, 8, 16, and $32{\mu}L/mL$ were 48.16%, 74.62%, 52.67%, and 44.47%, respectively. These results suggest that laundry detergent with Eucalyptus oil have potential effect to repel the house dust mites.

갈색날개매미충의 방제전략을 확대하기 위하여 박하유에 대한 기피 효과를 살펴보았다. 23종의 방향유를 Y-tube olfactometer를 이용하여 후각 검정을 실시한 결과, 박하유(peppermint oil)와 lemongrass oil을 제외한 21종의 방향유는 갈색날개매미충에 대하여 기피반응이 나타나지 않았다. 단지 박하유만이 80% 이상의 기피효과가 관찰되었다. 박하유의 처리량에 따른 기피반응을 조사한 결과, 갈색날개매미충은 0.1, 0.5, $1{\mu}l$ 처리시 기피율이 점차 높아졌으며, $10{\mu}l$(76.47%) 처리량에서 높은 기피효과를 보였다. 박하유에는 1,8-cineole(4.7%), menthone(23.9%), iso-menthyl acetate(8.0%), menthol(53.7%) 등이 함유되어 있었다. 이들의 주요 성분함량을 혼합하여 Y-tube olfactometer를 이용하여 후각 검정한 결과, $5{\mu}l$ 처리시 76.2%의 높은 기피율을 보였다. 박하유는 야외에서 갈색날개매미충의 기피 및 산란 기피효과를 보였으나 단시간에만 활성이 강한 점과 약해의 가능성을 보아 제형 개발의 필요성이 대두된다.

This study investigates the behavior of water vapor permeability of a layered system to find out a comfortable combination of a layered system for outdoor activities and examines the water vapor permeability of various types of outdoor clothing fabrics. The layered system includes the base layer such as sportswool and polyester/cotton fabrics, the middle layer such as single and double sided fleece fabrics, and the shell layer such as polyurethane-coated, PTFE-laminated and microfiber fabrics in this experiment. Results show that the layered system was applied, it was working together as a whole having some influence on each other layer, though every layer offered varying degree of water vapor permeability. Water vapor permeability of layered system exactly followed the same trend as the shell layer, which is all vapor permeable water repellent fabrics as a single layer. The rate of water vapor transfer through a layered system is mainly related to the type of vapor permeable water repellent fabrics used for the shell layer.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the functional properties of natural dyed Hanji for cultural properties conservation and storage. To estimate functional properties of Hanji, antimicrobial, insect repellent test, and Oddy test were executed. Hanji dyed with 10% Golden thread (Coptis chinensis), a natural dye and silver nitrate mordanting showed the most excellent antifungal activities against A. niger, P. chrysogenum, and Trichoderma sp. before and after aging. The insects repellent test followed didn't indicate significant effects on treated Hanji against Lasioderma serricorne, Sitophilus zeamais, and Tribolium castaneum. According to Oddy test result, Hanji dyed with Golden thread and silver nitrate caused no significant corrosions on copper, silver, and lead after aging 28 days.

Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are hematophagous arthropod vectors that transmit epizootic arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses). Arboviruses are recognized as causes of pregnancy loss, encephalomyelitis, and congenital malformations in ruminants. Therefore, continuous monitoring and control of Culicoides, which causes significant damage to industrial animals are necessary. We performed attraction and repellent tests in Culicoides using various essential oils, cow dung, and carbon dioxide (CO₂). Culicoides tended to move more to cow dung (60.8%, P<0.0001) and CO₂ (63.8%, P<0.01). To the essential oils as repellents, 26.1% (P<0.0001), 18.7% (P<0.001), and 25.5% (P<0.01) of the Culicoides moved to the lavender, lemongrass, and eucalyptus chamber, respectively. The Culicoides that moved to the 3 essential oils chambers showed markedly low activity. Collectively, it was showed that Culicoides tended to be attractive to cow dung and CO₂, and repellent from the 3 essential oils.
