  • Effect of silicon (Si) nutrition on growth and temperature stress tolerance of Nephrolepis exaltata 'Corditas' grown in a soilless substrate was examined. In vitro-grown acclimatized plantlets were transplanted into the pots containing a coir-based substrate. A nutrient solution containing 0, 50, or $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Si was supplied through a drip-irrigation system. After 5 months of cultiv ation, S i-treated and -untreated p lants were grown at 10, 25, or $40{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ under a 12 h photoperiod with $530{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ PPFD and 60% RH. After 7 days, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured. Silicon nutrition had a negative effect on growth characteristics of N. exaltata 'Corditas'. However, Si-treated plants had more tolerance to temperature stress than the control plants. The Fv/Fm value was not significantly different when the plants were exposed to $25^{\circ}C$. However, significant difference in Fv/Fm was recorded when plants were exposed to 10 or $40^{\circ}C$. Thus, Fv/Fm could be used as an indicator of low and high temperature tolerance in ferns. The present study also suggests that application of Si may be used to enhance temperature tolerance of ferns.

  • 하우스와 하우스 사이에 비닐 멀칭이 참외의 생육 및 품질에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. 토양수분은 무처리구의 26.0%에 비하여 흑색부직포 및 흑색필름 처리구에서 각각 1.2%, 2.9%정도 적었으나, 지온은 무처리구 $2.4^{\circ}C$에 비하여 흑색부직포 및 흑색필름 처리구에서 각각 $0.8^{\circ}C,\;1.8^{\circ}C$ 더 높았다. 무처리구에 비하여 흑색필름 처리구에서 초장, 엽수, 엽록소 함량, 엽면적 및 일비액량 등 초기생육이 우수하였으며, 개화도 빠르고 성숙 소요일수도 단축되었다. 과중, 당도 등 과실의 품질도 흑색필름 처리구에서 우수하였고 발효과율 및 기형과율이 감소하여 상품과율이 증가하여 10a당 상품과수량은 무처리구의 1,864kg에 비하여 흑색필름 처리구에서 28%증가하였다. 이와 같이 흑색필름 처리구에서 참외의 과중이 무겁고, 당도가 높고 발효과 발생이 감소하고 상품수량이 증가한 것은 하우스 동간 멀칭으로 수분 유입이 차단되어 지온이 상승하여 뿌리의 활착이 빨라 생육이 촉진됨에 따라 과실의 품질이 향상된 것으로 생각된다.

  • 본 과제는 Spruce재가 사우나와 같은 고온 공간용 부재(部材)로 사용되어질 때 나타나는 수지삼출의 문제점을 해결하여 그 방안을 제시코저 수행하였다. 건식(乾式)공간용 부재(部材)의 경우 적절한 열기건조가 이루어진다면 별도의 처리를 실시하지 않더라도 110℃의 수지삼출 안정선을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 고주파진공건조에 의해 수지삼출 안정선이 열기건조보다 약 20℃ 정도 더 상승하였다. 습식(濕式)폭로시험에서는 저압증기폭쇄처리재의 경우 열기건조재나 고주파진공건조재 모두 수지가 전혀 삼출되지 않은 반면에, 무처리재의 경우 건조방법에 관계없이 130℃ 이상의 폭로조건에서는 수지삼출의 정도가 건식(乾式)폭로시험의 경우보다 심한 것으로 나타나, 수지삼출을 예방하기 위하여 인공건조중 저(低)함수율 상태의 건조말기에 고온(高溫)을 적용하여 건조하는 것보다는 건조전 고(高)함수율 상태에서 과열(過熱)증기로 분무(噴霧)처리하는 것이 더 바람직한 것으로 확인되었다.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the drying characteristics of tissue cultured mountain ginseng roots. The far infrared rays dryer of a double blast system used for this experiment can control the drying parameters such as far infrared heater temperature and air velocity. The far infrared rays drying tests of tissue cultured mountain ginseng roots were performed at air velocity of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 m/s, under drying air temperature of 50, 60, and $70^{circ}C$, respectively. The results were compared with one obtained by the heated air drying method. The drying characteristics such as drying rate, color, energy consumption, saponin components and antioxidant activities were analyzed. The results showed that the drying rate of far infrared rays drying was faster than that of heated air drying and due to high temperature of drying air and fast air velocity, the far infrared rays drying of double blast type was superior to the heated air drying. The value of the color difference for heated air drying was 10.11${\sim}$12.99 and that of far infrared rays drying was in the range of 7.05${\sim}$7.54, which was in the same drying condition, also energy consumption of far infrared rays drying was in the range of 3575${\sim}$6898 kJ/kg-water. At the same time, the antioxidant activities using far infrared rays drying were higher than those using heated air drying.

  • To examine the feasibility of dry forming technology for papermaking, a dry forming mold (DFM) was developed and evaluated. Main fanning section of DFM was a cylindrical tube, and at the top of the mold a stirring equipment was placed to disperse dry fibers. These fibers were screened using a hole type screen plate placed just under the stirring equipment and dropped freely on the fanning wire located 0.9 m below of the screen plate to form a dry fiber pad. The vertical and horizontal velocity of air flow in the forming cylinder were evaluated and analyzed to find the most effective method of air flow control in the cylinder. Humidification and pressing conditions to obtain a decent dry fanned papers were examined. Results showed dry fanned papers can be prepared with this dry forming mold. And this mold can be used to examine the effect of the papermaking process factors including pressing pressure, drying temperature, humidification on sheet quality of dry formed papers.

  • The effects of taurine supplementation on growth performance, serum and liver concentrations of lipid, fatty acid composition and lipid peroxidation in the livers of broilers under chronic heat exposure conditions were investigated. The chicks with a similar body weight were equally assigned to one of three controlled-environment chambers. The brolier chicks, which were kept at $34^{\circ}C$ were fed either with a control diet or the control diet supplemented with 0.8% taurine, whereas broiler chicks kept at $22^{\circ}C$ were fed a control diet. Both of the BW and BW gains of broilers maintained at a temperature of $34^{\circ}C$ were significantly lower than those of the control group, which was maintained at a temperature of $22^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). However, taurine addition in the diet of birds submitted to heat stress siginficantly improved BW gain (p<0.05). The feed intake of chicks declined with increases in temperature. The relative liver and gall bladder weights of chicks fed the control diet and maintained at $34^{\circ}C$ were significantly lower than those measured in the control birds (p<0.05). However, dietary taurine was found to compensate for these reductions in liver and gall bladder weights. Relative weights of abdominal fat did not differ significantly among the three groups. Serum triglyceride concentrations were significantly lower in the chicks fed the control diet and maintained at $34^{\circ}C$ compare to those measured in the chicks fed the control diet at $22^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). Heat stress resulted in a significant reduction in total lipid and triglyceride levels, but also increased the levels of total cholesterol in the liver (p<0.05). However, dietary taurine supplementation under the heat stress condition resulted in the recovery, to control levels, of serum triglyceride concentrations, as well as the amounts of total lipids, triglycerides, and cholesterol in the liver. The livers of chicks fed on taurine diets at $34^{\circ}C$ showed significantly higher proportions of C14:0, C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, and 20:3, and lower C18:0 and C20:4 proportions than those of chicks fed on control diets at the same temperature (p<0.05). The total levels of saturated fatty acids decreased, but monounsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acid levels increased in chicks fed the taurine diet, as compared to chicks fed the control diet at $34^{\circ}C$ (p<0.05). Peroxidizability indices were significantly lower in the heat-exposed chicks fed the taurine diet than in the non-taurine heat-exposed groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, dietary taurine results in an increase in the growth performances of chicks under heat stress conditions via improvements in lipid absorption and metabolism, as well as an induced reduction in lipid peroxidation.

  • This study was conducted to analyze the variations of air temperature, relative humidity and pressure in a low pressure chamber for plant growth. The low pressure chamber was composed of an acrylic cylinder, a stainless plate, a mass flow controller, an elastomer pressure controller, a read-out-box, a vacuum pump, and sensors of air temperature, relative humidity, and pressure. The pressure leakage in the low pressure chamber was greatly affected by the material and connection method of tubes. The leakage rate in the low pressure chamber with the welding of the stainless tubes and a plate decreased by $0.21kPa{\cdot}h^{-1}$, whereas the leakage in the low pressure chamber with teflon tube and rubber O-ring was given by $1.03kPa{\cdot}h^{-1}$. Pressure in the low pressure chamber was sensitively fluctuated by the air temperature inside the chamber. An elastomer pressure controller was installed to keep the pressure in the low pressure chamber at a setting value. However, inside relative humidity at dark period increased to saturation level.. Two levels (25 and 50kPa) of pressure and two levels (500 and 1,000sccm) of mass flow rate were provided to investigate the effect of low pressure and mass flow rate on relative humidity inside the chamber. It was concluded that low setting value of pressure and high mass flow rate of mixed gas were the effective methods to control the pressure and to suppress the excessive rise of relative humidity inside the chamber.

  • This study was conducted to discuss the effects of hardener and extender contents on peak temperature, reaction enthalpy (${\Delta}H$), gelation time, viscosity change, and pH value in three types of UMF (urea-melamine- formaldehyde) resin with the help of perpHecT LogR meter, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and advanced rheometric expansion system (ARES), The results indicated that the pH value of Control A steeply decreased to 5,2 in the early stage but relatively remained constant thereafter as in Synthesis 1 and Synthesis 2, The peak temperature and time decreased as well, whereas ${\Delta}H$ and viscosity increased with the increase of hardener content. On the other hand, ${\Delta}H$ was not changed up to the extender content of 5% and then decreased with its further addition, And the pH value and peak temperature showed no change with the increase of extender content at the hardener content of 5% in three types of UMF resin, The effect of hardener content in this experiment, however, appeared more conspicuous in Control A than in the other two types of Synthesis 1 and Synthesis 2, These results might be caused by higher molecular weight with longer chains of methylene ($-CH_2-$) and methylene ($-CH_2-O-CH_2-$) ether bridges or much more branched chains in Control A.

  • Although late blight is an important disease in ecofriendly potato cultivation in Korea, it is highly dependent on the use of eco-friendly agricultural materials and the development of biological control technology is low. It is a necessary to develop an effective biocontrol agent to inactivate late blight in the field. AFB2-2 strain is a gram-positive with peritrichous flagella. It can utilize 20 types of carbon sources, like L-arabinose, and D-trehalose at 35℃. The optimal growth temperature of the strain is 37℃. It can survive at 20-50℃ in tryptic soy broth. The maximum salt concentration tolerated by AFB2-2 strain is 7.5% NaCl. AFB2-2 strain inhibited the mycelial growth of seven plant pathogens by an average inhibitory zone of 10.2 mm or more. Among the concentrations of AFB2-2, 107 cfu/ml showed the highest control value of 85.7% in the greenhouse. Among the three concentrations of AFB2-2, the disease incidence and severity of potato late blight at 107 cfu/ml was lowest at 0.07 and 6.7, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of AFB2-2 strain were searched in the NCBI GenBank; Bacillus siamensis strain KCTC 13613, Bacillus velezensis strain CR-502, and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain DSM7 were found to have a genetic similarity of 99.7%, 99.7%, and 99.5%, respectively. The AFB2-2 strain was found to harbor the biosynthetic genes for bacillomycin D, iturin, and surfactin. Obtained data recommended that the B. velezensis AFB2-2 strain could be considered as a promising biocontrol agent for P. infestans in the field.

  • 최근 농업 분야는 농업 분야에 ICT 기술이 접목 되면서 새로운 도약의 계기가 마련되고 있다. 특히 농업에 사물 인터넷(IoT: Internet of Things) 기술을 접목한 스마트 팜 [smart farm] 영역이 각광받고 있다. 스마트 팜 [smart farm] 기술은 농작물이 재배 되는 환경의 온도, 습도 등의 정보를 센서를 이용해 실시간으로 수집, 분석하여 제어장치에서 농작물 수확에 필요한 장치들을 자동으로 구동하여 농작물이 자랄 수 있는 최적의 환경을 제공하는 것이다. 스마트 팜 [smart farm] 기술이 마치 모든 것을 해결할 수 있을 것처럼 주목을 받고 있지만, 대부분의 연구가 농작물의 생산량 증대에만 치중되어 있다. 본 논문 에서는 농작물의 생산량 증대 보다는 우수한 품질의 농작물을 최적기에 수확할 수 있는 시스템의 아키텍처 개발에 중점을 두어 이루어졌다. 본 논문에서는 사과나무를 표본으로 아키텍처를 개발 하였으며 사과나무의 수확시기를 예측하는 데이터로는 색상정보와 중량정보를 사용하였다. 색상정보와 중량정보를 수집하여 서버 단으로 전송하는 간이형 보드는 아두이노를 사용하였으며. 개발 방법론으로는 모델 주도 개발(model-driven development :MDD)를 적용하였다. PC 사용자들에게는 웹 형태로 서비스를 제공하며 Smart Phone 사용자들에게는 하이브리드앱 형태로 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 아키텍처를 개발했다. 또한 비콘 기술을 사용해서 과수원 정보를 실시간으로 사용자들에게 제공하도록 아키텍처를 개발했다.
