The purpose of this study was to examine effects of treadmill running training on superoxide product of spontaneously hypertensive rats. 20 males aged five week old rats were used for the experiments. They were randomly selected into experimental group (10 rats) and control group (10 rats) after being housed in laboratory for two weeks. The rats of experimental group performed treadmill exercise from 15 minutes for the first time to 35 minutes for the last one in order to familiar with experimental protocol ($VO_{2}max\;65{\sim}70%$, 0.9km/h, 5 times/week, 35 minutes/session). They began to perform treadmill running at the age of eight weeks for eight weeks. Superoxide production and NADPH oxidase activities were measured on the aortal from end of experiment. All statistical analyses and description methods were computed by SPSS Version 10.0. Differences in the values between experimental group and control group were calculated using t-tests. The results of this study were: there wewe no significant differences in superoxide production, NADPH oxidase-drivened superoxide activity, NADPH oxidase activity between two groups (p>.05). Spontaneously hypertensive rats of experimental group were characterized by higher superoxide production and lower NADPH oxidase-drivened superoxide activity and NADPH oxidase activity in comparison with the control group. One possible explanation of this finding was that NADPH oxidase activity of experimental group was lower than the control group. It can be concluded that treadmill running for eight weeks was associated positively with superoxide product of spontaneously hypertensive rats.

There are no exact copies or carvings of India's original Buddhist Scripts published in Korea that had been flowed into Japan except those of WanSanJungUiMongSanPuPo(환산정의몽산법어). YaWoonJaKyung (야운자경). KyeChoShimHakInMoon(계초심학인문) PalSimSooHangChang(발심수행장) and MongsanWhaSangPupoRackLock published by a mid-Chosun Dynasty Buddhist monk, YaWoon TaesunSa. Others are the translations by Chinese people. All printings were of woodblock except ChonjimyungYangsoo- RhockChapMoon(천지명양수육잡문) of Inkyng wood printing type. This shows perhaps that the Buddhists were so devout that they spared no effort in their prayers to head for the Paradise. Even the woodblock carver himself took his hard work for granted in his belief and engraved the blocks with all his heart taking his work as God-given task. Or. perhaps they to use wood-block printing as the demand for the Scripts soared. By the way. as the Koryo Dynasty took Buddhism as the state religion, it was natural that the Buddhist Scripts were published at TaeJangToKam (the publishing office) and were much encouraged. It is noteworthy. however, that not a few Buddhist Scripts had been published during the Chosun Dynasty despite its crack-down on Buddhism as the Confucianism was declared as the state principle. The Scripts were even published by such temples as MoonJooSa(문수사), MyoHeeAm(묘희암). SsangbongSa(쌍봉사). PyoHoonSa(표훈사), YooJupSa(유점사), YongJangSa(용장사). and AnShimSa(안심사). The fact that the Scripts were even published by KanKyungToKam(간경부감) leads us to reconsider the traditional way of thinking of the Chosun Dynasty as anti-Buddhist or flunkeyist. The historical fact that a record number of Buddhist publications had been transmitted to Japan - is it accidental? - This issue could well be another subject matter for further research. However, it should be noted that very few of above­mentioned Buddhist Scripts are found in present-day Korea.

Replacement of wheat flour by 10, 20 30% waxy and normal (non-waxy) hull-less barley flour was tested for the effects on bread-making properties. The addition of waxy hull-less barley flour resulted in lower amylograph pasting temperature, peak, and set back viscosities and in higher water absorption, compared with normal hull-less barley flour. Increasing proportions of hull-less barley flour significantly decreased the loaf volume and had deleterious effects on subjective bread scoring. Replacement of 10% of wheat flour by both waxy and normal hull-less barley flour did not significantly affect bread characteristics. However, significant differences in bread quality were observed between the control bread and bread containing more than 20% barley flour, with the normal barley flour showing slightly better scores in organoleptical preference. Textural measurements of crumb firmness showed that the bread containing 20% waxy hull-less barley flour hardened slower during 5-day storage at $25^{\circ}C$ than bread containing normal hull-lee barley flour.

현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 신호등용 전구는 전량 해외에서 수입되는 백열전구로써, 낮은 발광효율($8.0{\sim}8.4lm/W$)과 짧은 수명(약 4,000 hours)으로, 지방 자치단체의 경우 전기에너지의 과소비와 과중한 전력요금 부담 잦은 유지보수로 관리비용이 증가하고 교통환경을 악화시키는 원인이 되고 있으며, 국가적으로는 첨두부하 증가, 귀중한 에너지 낭비 및 석유, 가스 등 발전용 화석연료 사용증가에 따른 환경오염을 유발하고 있다. LED(Light Emitting Diode. 발광다이오드)는 발광 특성상 열 발생이 적고, 특정 파장대의 단색광을 발광하는 광원으로써 전력소비가 매우 작고, 긴 수명, 양호한 환경 특성을 가지고 있다. 옥외에 노출되고, 점등이 길고 소등 횟수가 많으며 단색광을 필요로 하는 신호등에 적합한 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 LED 신호등은 발광 원리 및 발광 방식이 기존의 전구식과 달라 현재 규정된 시험방법으로 직접 평가가 불가능하다. 따라서 우리나라의 경우 LED 제조기술은 세계적인 수준이나 LED 신호등에 대한 기술개발 및 보급은 현실적으로 어려운 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 국내 보급환경 구축을 위해 LED 신호등에 대한 시제품의 특성을 장시간의 옥외 시험을 통해 우리나라 환경 특성에 적합한 LED 교통 신호등 규격을 연구하고자 한다.

A method for the isolation by matrix solid phase dispersion method and liquid chromatographic determination of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin in pork muscle tissue is presented. Blank or enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin spiked samples(0.5g) containing 0.05g oxalic acid were blended with $C_{18}$(octadecylsilyl derivatized silica) packing material. After homogenization, $C_{18}$/muscle tissue matrix was transferred to glass column made from 10ml glass syringe and filter paper, and compressed to 4~4.5ml volume. A column was washed with 8ml of hexane and dried under vacuum. Interfering materials were removed by ethylacetate 8ml and dried, following which enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were eluted with 8ml of methanal under gravity. The eluate containing enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin wase free from interfering compound when analysed by HPLC with UV detection at 278nm. Enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin showed linear response with UV detector at the range of $0.05{\sim}1.0{\mu}g/ml$ and eluted within 5ml elution volume of methanol from the matrix. Fortified sample containing 0.05g oxalic acid represented more good recoveries than that of control sample. Average percentages of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were $93.30{\pm}4.56%$ and $91.84{\pm}4.17%$, respectively, for the concentration range(0.05, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 and $0.75{\mu}g/g$). The interassay variability of enrofloxacin was $6.02{\pm}5.33%$ with an intra-assay variability of 4.89% and $6.75{\pm}2.68%$ with 4.54% for ciprofloxacin. Detection limit of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin was $0.030{\mu}g/g$ in the spiked sample.

To obtain the overall distribution patterns and characteristics of the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW), the historical data obtained by the Japan Maizuru Marine Observatory (MMO) and the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) were analyzed. To obtain water characteristics of the ESIW on isopycnal surfaces, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen were interpolated at every 0.01 interval of potential density. And then the interpolated values were averaged at the same potential density. This potential density average method preserved the salinity minimum layer more clearly compared to the depth average method. The potential density(${\sigma}_{\theta}$) range of the ESIW was $26.9{\sim}27.3$. The representative potential density of the ESIW was found to be 27.2, because the characteristics of the ESIW was clear at this density. From the horizontal distributions of physical properties on the isopycnal surface of $27.2{\sigma}_{\theta}$ it is suggested that the low salinity ESIW circulates anticlockwise over the whole basin with the high salinity intermediate water. The low salinity intermediate water extended from the northwestern part to the east along the sub-polar front and to the Ulleung Basin along the east coast of Korea.

Soil washing equipment was developed for decontamination of radioactively contaminated soil generated during normal operation or decommissioning and verification experiments were performed. Decontamination effciency above $80{\%}$ was achieved. In case of low radiation level and large particle size, decontamination efficiency was higher. According to the ratio of volume of water to soil quantity, decontamination efficiency was higher in case of high radiation level. Re-decontamination using decontaminated soil was effective in case of small particles. Using soil washing equipment, radioactivity of contaminated soil generated in nuclear power plant can be decreased and volume of soil for disposal can be decreased. And this equipment can be used in decommissioning.

The effects of carnosine and related compounds (CRCs) including anserine, homocarnosine, histidine, and ${\beta}-alanine$ on monosaccharide autoxidation and $H_2O_2$ formation were investigated. The incubation of CRCs with D-glucose, D-glucosamine, and D, L-glyceraldehyde at $37^{\circ}C$ increased the absorption maxima at 285 nm, 273 nm, and $290{\sim}330$ nm, respectively. D, L-glyceraldehyde was the most reactive sugar with CRCs. The presence of copper strongly stimulated the reaction of carnosine and anserine with D-glucose or D-glucosamine. Carnosine and anserine stimulated $H_2O_2$ formation from D-glucose autoxidation in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of 10 ${\mu}M$ Cu (II). The presence of human serum albumin (HSA) decreased their effect on $H_2O_2$ formation. Carnosine and anserine has a biphasic effect on ${\alpha}-ketoaldehyde$ formation from glucose autoxidation. CRCs inhibited glycation of HSA as determined by hydroxymethyl furfural, lysine residue with free ${\varepsilon}-amino$ group, and fructosamine assay. These results suggest that CRCs may be protective against diabetic complications by reacting with sugars and protecting glycation of protein.

Even after establishment of H.264/AVC standard, the video coding experts group (VCEG) of ITU-T has researched on development of promising coding techniques to increase coding efficiency based on the key technology area (KTA) software. Recently, the joint collaboration team video coding (JCT-VC) which was composed of the VCEG and the motion picture experts group (MPEG) of ISO/IEC is developing a next-generation video standard namely HEVC intended to gain twice efficiency than H.264/AVC. An adaptive interpolation technique, one of various next-generation techniques, reported higher coding efficiency. However, it has high computational complexity and does not deal with various error characteristics for videos. In this paper, we investigate characteristics of interpolation filters and propose an effective fixed interpolation filter bank including diverse properties of error. Experimental results is shown that the proposed method achieved bitrate reduction by 0.7% and 1.3% compared to fixed directional interpolation filter (FDIF) of the KTA and the directional interpolation filter (DIF) of the HEVC test model, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the developmental process of plant community during the secondary succession and changes of soil properties in the burned areas lapsed 28 years after the forest fire in Mt.Palgong. The forest fire occurred on March, 1969 and the red pine (pinus densiflora) forest and its floor vegetation were burned down. The results are summarized as follows: the floristic composition of burned and unburned areas were composed of 49 and 48 species of vascular plants, respectively. The dominant species based on SDR4 of the burned sites were Lespedeza maximowicxii(87.75), Carex humilis (62.94), Rhododendron schippenbachii(55.78) and Miscanthus sinensis var.purpurascens (51.94). In contrast, Pinus densiflora (81.17), Quercus serrata (53.58)m Carex humilis (53.11) and Miscanthus sinenis var. purpuracens (52.42) were dominant in the unburned area. The biological spectra showed the $H-D_1-R_5-e$ type in both areas. The indices of similarity (CCs) between the two areas were 0.80. Degree of succession (DS) was 734 in the burned area and 809 in the unburned area. The species diversity (H) and evenness indices (e) in the burned and unburned areas were 2.05, 2.13 and 0.53, 0.55, respectively. Dominance index (C) in the burned and unburned areas were 0.30 and 0.32, respectively. Soil properties such as soil pH, content of organic matter, total nitrogen, total carbon, exchangeable potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium in burned area were comparatively higher than those of unburned area. Monthly changes of soil properties were of little significance except for some cases. These results suggest that there was relationship between trend of vegetation recovery and the changes of soil properties after the forest fire. Mixed forestation of fire-resistant species and nitrogen fixation species will be effective for reforestation after the forest fire.
