The residue patterns of procymidone, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin in peaches were examined. The pesticides were sprayed at 15 days before harvest and then were determined the residue at 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 15 days after pesticide application and calculated their $DT_{50}$. Also, the degradation patterns at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ during storage period were compared. Biological half-lives of procymidone, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin in peaches during the cultivation period were 3.1, 7.2 and 10.4 days, respectively. The biological half -life of procymidone was shorter than the others. During the storage period, half-lives of procymidone, chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin were 16.0, 14.3 and 13.1 days at $4^{\circ}C$ and 4.6, 10.2 and 12.9 days at $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The degradation rates of these three pesticides in storage period were slower than them in cultivation period. Removal rates were $22.2{\sim}82.9%$ by tap water, and $12.5{\sim}88.8%$ by detergent solution.

Laboratory tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of several insecticides with insect growth regulator (IGR) properties on the larval development of housefly, Musca domestica, which was collected at a large pigpen in Hamyang, Gyeongnam, Korea in 1997. Commercial formulations of the chemicals were diluted with tap water into a range of concentrations, and mixed with larval media. In addition to the IGRs, imidacloprid 5% WP was tested, too. The IGRs treated at the 2nd instar stage induced higher larval mortalities than percentages of malformed pupae. The result were, however, opposite when the IGRs were treated at the 3rd instar stage. Overall mortality resulting from larval death and malformed pupae was dependent on concentration. Diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron, triflumuron, flufenoxuron, tebufenozide, and imidacloprid, treated to the 2nd instar larvae, showed mortality over 95 % at concentrations of 5 ppm, 3 ppm, 30 ppm, 5 ppm, over 1000 ppm, 1000 ppm, respectively. Higher concentrations were needed to get the same level. of mortality in the 3rd instar larvae as that in the 2nd larvae. Overall mortality over 95% at the 3rd instar could be get at concentrations of 100 ppm, 10 ppm, 300 ppm, 10 ppm of diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron, triflumuron, flufenoxuron, respectively. Tebufenozide (1,000 ppm) and imidacloprid (300 ppm) were less effective than the other chemicals, showing only 36.7% and 86.7% mortalities, respectively. The chemicals also affected pupal weight at high concentrations. Decrease of pupal weight was distinct at high concentrations of teflubenzuron, flufenoxuron, tebufenozide, imidacloprid. Diflubenzuron and triflumuron were less effective. From these results it could be concluded that the IGR insecticides can be used as control agents by interfering with moulting and pupation process of housefly, by reducing pupal weight which could be resulted in low fertility and less oviposition.

An antimicrobial peptide producing bacterium, Bacillus subtilis A405, was screened and identified among 700 of antagonistic bacteria. The heat-resistant antimicrobial peptide, AMP-405, was purified from the broth culture of B. subtilis A405 through $20{\sim}40%$ ammonium sulfate precipitation and ultrafiltration. The AMP-405 exhibited strong antimicrobial activities against Botrytis cinerea, Cercospora sp., Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium digitatum, Celletotrichum gloeosporioides, Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium ultimum, Pyricularia oryzae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas spp. and Candida albicans. The molecular weight of the peptide was about 3.0 kDa determined by SDS-PAGE, Native-PAGE and Tris-Tricine gradient electrophoresis, and composed of 9 kinds of amino acid such as aspartic acid, glycine, serine, glutamine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, tyrocine. To determine the efficiency of AMP-405 as a potential maintenance of fruits freshness, cherry tomato was srored at $25^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks after treatment with $50{\mu}g/ml$ of AMP-405 and $10^{5}$ spores/ml of Botrytis cinerea simultaneously. Treatment with AMP-405 resulted in significantly less infection by Botrytis cinerea, than the treatment with tap water as a control.

For the treatment of wastewaters generated from beer industry and petrochemical company with high organic and nitrogen contents, laboratory scale of A/O Pure-Oxygen Biofilm (POB) process was developed and studied by means of the comparative economic analysis with extended aeration process. When the wastewater of beer company was initially treated by the A/O POB process in the ranges of 70 to 150 mg TOC/L diluted with tap water, higher than 92% of TOC removal was accomplished in the all ranges. In case of petrochemical wastewater, the initial TOC removal was as low as 52%, though, it increased to 86% after 32 days of operation and also the TKN removal marked 71% after 27 days. Continuous high removal rates were monitored in both the TOC and TKN parameters during the experimental period. Due to the cost for PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) setting and biomass supporting media installation, the initial construction cost of A/O POB process was 2.9 times higher than that of extended aeration process. However, the advantages such as low sludge production, no need for sludge recycling and low energy consumption allow the A/O POB process to have 2.5 times lower operation and maintenance costs. Consequently, in the long term of operation, it is likely that A/O POB process would show higher performance as well as cost effectiveness compared to extended aeration process.

In this study, the effects of gas ratio($N_2:H_2$) and treatment time on the fatigue fracture behavior, fatigue crack growth behavior and corrosion fatigue fracture behavior for the ion-nitrided SM45C steel were investigated. The results show that the fatigue limit and corrosion fatigue strength increased in porportion to $N_2$ gas and treatment time for all kinds of specimen, used in the experiment. Compare to the non-nitrided specimen, the fatigue limit and the corrosion fatigue strength increased about $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^7$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ at $10^6$ cycles in 3% NaCl aqueous solution, respectively. Similar results were derived with SM45C steel under Compression-Tension $24{\sim}29%$ at $10^6$ cycles in air and $32{\sim}48%$ either in 3% NaCl aqueous solution or in tap water, respectively. Ion-nitrided SM45C steel showed a slow fatigue crack growth rate at relatively low range of ${\Delta}K$ compared to the non-nitrided specimen. To the contrary, its rate increase at higher range of ${\Delta}K$.

The mosquito, Aedes albopictus is important vector of humen phatogen such as dengue fever. And Aedes albopictus has widly distribution in oriental regions. This study was conducted to investigate the biological effects of cooper on the development of the Asian tiger mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus (Skuse). Aedes albopictus was affected with pupation ratios, mortalities, and wing lengths of the 3th and 4th instars by exposure to different concentration $CuCl_2$ (0.0, 2.5, 25.0 and 50.0 ppm) for 24 h and 48 h depending on dose and exposure period. The lowest $LC_{50}$ (median lethal concentration) value of $CuCl_2$ was 18.1 ppm at the 3rd instars for 48 h exposure. The pupation ratio of the larvae exposed at 50.0 ppm for 48 h was 14% which was much lower than those exposed to other treatment groups Changes of adult wing length showed significant decreased by Cu treatment. In conclusion, the most prominent effects of high concentration and longer exposure period were to reduce in the survival and pupation rates of larvae and wing length of Ae. albopictus.

In this paper, the effects of some additives to the quality of fish cake such as salt, polyphosphate, and starch were tested. Besides, that of washing and alterative heating procedure were also discussed. From the result of quality test by measuring jelly strength and sensory evaluation the product was quite palatable to common, and the addition of salt and starch as 3 and 5 to 15 percent respectively, resulted in the best jelly strength of the product, it was markedly enforced when a small amount of polyphosphate ($0.3\%$) was added. It is suggested for a processing method of carp meat fish cake that meat is to be bleached by wasing at least 8 times repeatedly with tenfold tap water by volume of meat, and that the meat is previously chilled at 2 to $3^{\circ}C$ for so minutes and ground thoroughly with addition of 3 percent of salt, 5 to 15 percent starch, and 0.3 percent polyphosphate, and finally heat processed by two stages: at first, heated for 1 hour at $35^{\circ}C$ and alteratively heated for 30 minutes at $90^{\circ}C$ as the final.

Microflora and contamination process of Saengshik products were investigated to ensure microbial safety of Saengshik. Food-borne pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Clostridium perfringens detected mainly from grains were not removed by washing with tap water and freeze-drying. Contaminations of food-borne pathogenic bacteria occurred through raw material powder processed at other factories and during actual product manufacturing process, because detection rates of final products were higher than those of raw materials. Concentration of food-borne pathogenic bacteria increased with advancing of process after first pulverization. Dusts of powder and powder attached to machine were good media for air-borne microorganisms and caused to increase of food-borne pathogenic bacteria during process. Improvement of manufacturing process and sanitary control of machines arc necessary to ensure microbial safety of Saengshik.

The soluble loess-sulfur mixture allowed standing to remove insoluble component materials for five weeks after manufacturing. We decreased the pH level of soluble loess-sulfur mixture at pH 1.0 modified with decreasing 25% sodium hydroxide than original content. The pH ranges of soluble loess-sulfur mixture solutions were adjusted to pH 5.0-pH 11.0 (pH 1 unit) with brown rice vinegar (pH 2.8). The pH of original loess-sulfur mixture was about pH 13 and damaged the foliar parts and young leaves of tomato after twice application. These stock solutions can be diluted 500:1 with tap water to make a 0.05% working solution and were sprayed two times with 7 days interval to the leaf and stem of tomato, which were spontaneously infected with E. cichoracearum. Control efficacy of powdery mildew ranged from 85% to 90% at 7 days after first application. After second application, each loess-sulfur mixture solutions adjusted pH level significantly suppressed the powdery mildew disease in tomato. Consequently, loess-sulfur complex adjusted pH level with brown rice vinegar was suggested to be low in acute toxicity at all different pH values and suggested to use an agent for control of tomato powdery mildew in organic farming.
