Purpose: A sampling scheme may significantly affect the accuracy of a sensor. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of sampling point locations on optical reflectance measurements of Chinese cabbage and kale plant leaves. Methods: Variability and similarity of multiple measurements for different parts of the leaves were compared. Results: The results indicate that the variability between the average and individual reflectance spectra was smaller for the blade part than for the vein part. Furthermore, the reflectance for the blade part over the upper leaf area was greater and more stable than those for the other parts for both the cabbage and kale leaf samples. Conclusions: The results provide guidelines for optical reflectance measurements of Chinese cabbage and kale plants. The effects of the number of sampling points, the number of leaves, and the relationships between optical reflectance and leaf components remain to be investigated in the future.

An effective sampling method is necessary to monitor potato tuber moths (Phthorimaea operculella) because they are the biggest concern in potato-cultivating areas. In this study, a sequential sampling method was developed based on the results of field surveys of potato tuber moths in South Korea. Potato tuber moths were collected in fields cultivating potatoes at six sites, and their spatial distribution was investigated using the Taylor power law. The optimal sampling size and cumulative number of potato tuber moths in traps to stop sampling were determined based on the spatial distribution pattern and mean density of the collected potato tuber moths. Finally, the developed sampling method was applied to propose a control action, and its sampling efficiency was compared with that of the traditional sampling method using a binomial distribution. The potato tuber moths tended to aggregate; the optimal number was approximately 5 - 16 traps for sampling, and the number varied with the mean density of potato tuber moths according to the sampling sites. In addition, one, two, and three sites might require the following actions: Continued sampling, control, and no control, respectively. Sampling with the binomial distribution showed the minimum sample size was 12 when considering the economic threshold level. Here, we propose an effective sampling method that can be applied for future monitoring and field surveys of potato tuber moths in South Korea.

Two phase sampling design is useful to increase estimation efficiency using deep stratification, improved non-response adjustment and reduced coverage bias. The same sampling units are commonly used for the first and the second phases in complex two-phase sampling design. In this paper we consider a sampling scheme where the first phase sampling units are clusters and the second phase sampling units are list samples. Using selected clusters in first phase requires that we list up elements in the selected clusters from the first phase and then use the list as a secondary sampling frame for the second phase sampling design. Then we select second phase samples from the listed sampling frame. We suggest an estimator based on the complex two-phase sampling design with different sampling units of each phase. Also the estimated variances of the estimator obtained by using classic and replication variance methods are considered and compared using simulation studies. For real data analysis, 2010 Korea Farm Household Economy Survey (KFHES) and 2011 Korea Agriculture Survey (KAS) are used.

Objective of this study was to investigate effects of pre-processing method and number of sampling leaves on stability of the reflectance measurement for Chinese cabbage and kale leaves. Chinese cabbage and kale were transplanted and cultivated in a plant factory. Leaf samples of the kale and cabbage were collected at 4 weeks after transplanting of the seedlings. Spectra data were collected with an UV/VIS/NIR spectrometer in the wavelength region from 190 to 1130 nm. All leaves (mature and young leaves) were measured on 9 and 12 points in the blade part in the upper area for kale and cabbage leaves, respectively. To reduce the spectral noise, the raw spectral data were preprocessed by different methods: i) moving average, ii) Savitzky-Golay filter, iii) local regression using weighted linear least squares and a $1^{st}$ degree polynomial model (lowess), iv) local regression using weighted linear least squares and a $2^{nd}$ degree polynomial model (loess), v) a robust version of 'lowess', vi) a robust version of 'loess', with 7, 11, 15 smoothing points. Effects of number of sampling leaves were investigated by reflectance difference (RD) and cross-correlation (CC) methods. Results indicated that the contribution of the spectral data collected at 4 sampling leaves were good for both of the crops for reflectance measurement that does not change stability of measurement much. Furthermore, moving average method with 11 smoothing points was believed to provide reliable pre-processed data for further analysis.

본 연구는 한우의 도체형질들에 대한 유전적 변이를 분석방법에 따라 어떠한 차이가 있는지를 알아보고자 한우 후대검정자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석에 이용된 도체성적 관련 자료는 가축개량사업소와 한우개량단지에서 1996 년부터 2001 년까지 태어난 후대검정우 1526두로부터 조사었다. 한우에 있어서 주요 개량형질인 육량과 육질에 영향하는 도체중, 도체율,배최장근단면적, 등지방두께, 근내지방도를 대상으로 유전력과 유전상관을 추정하였다. 유전모수 추정에 있어서 REML 분석법과 Bayesian추론방법으로써 Gibbs Sampling 분석법을 사용하였는데 각각의 모수들에 대한 Gibbs Sampler는 100,000회 실시하였고 초기 1,000회는 모수의 사후분포에 대한 부정확성으로 간주하여 모수의 사후분포특성 규명에서 제외하였다. 각각의 형질들에 대한 유전변이는 이러한 두 가지 분석방법을 상호 비교 함으로써 최적의 통계분석 방법을 모색하였다. 도체형질에 대한 유전력 추정은 REML 방법을 통한 추정에서는 근내지방도가 0.51로 고도의 유전력을 보였고, 도체율이 0.25로 중도의 유전력이 추정되었다. Gibbs Sampling 방법을통한 추정에서도 근내지방도가 0.54로 고도의 유전력을 도체율에서 0.25로 중도의 유전력을 보였다. REML 분석방법과 Gibbs Sampling 분석방법에서의 유전력은 다소 큰 차이는 보이지 않았으나, 대체로 Gibbs Sampling 방법으로 분석한 유전력 추정치가 높게 추정되었다. 그리고, 유전상관분석에서는 REML 방법을 통한 분석에서 도체중과 배최장근단면적에서 0.651 로 높은 정의 유전상관을 나타내었고, 배최장근단면적과 등지방두께에서 -0.139로 부의 유천상관을 나타내었다. Gibbs Sampling 방법에서는 도체중과 도체율, 배최장근단면적에서 각각 0.814, 0.695으로 높은 정의 상관을 나타내었고, 배최장근단면적과 등지방두께에서 -0.126으로 부의상관을 나타내었다. Gibbs Sampling방법을 통한 분석에서 특정 형질간 유전상관이 높게 나타났으며, 다소 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. REML 분석방법과 Bayesian Inference를 바탕으로 한 Gibbs Sampling 분석에서 모수 추정은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 방대한 현장정보를 활용하여 보다 정확한 모수 추정을 수행하기 위해서는 분석모형에 대한 계수행렬의 역행렬 계산을 통한 REML 방법의 한계성을 극복할 수 있는 방법으로써 Gibbs Sampling 분석 방법이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Diurnal variation in faecal chromic oxide levels was estimated from 4 hourly faecal sampling of 56 wethers allotted to one of six different feeding patterns. Sampling occurred on days 6 and 7 (Period 1) after a controlled release device was administered, and was repeated on days 14 and 15 (Period 2) following re-randomisation of the wethers to the feeding patterns. Increasing the frequency of feeding tended to be associated with higher faecal chromic oxide levels (p < 0.05), particularly in wethers fed thrice daily at 8 hour intervals. There was no interaction between feeding pattern and period, sampling day or time within-day. There were significant period x time within-day (p < 0.05) and day x time within-day (p < 0.001) interactions, indicating that variation in faecal chromic oxide between sample times was not consistent. This implies that sampling at any time of day is unlikely to result in a biased estimate of pasture intake, providing sufficient samples are collected. Significant period (p < 0.001) and period x day (p < 0.01) effects were associated with slow faecal chromic oxide equilibration in period 1. Equilibration did not occur until after day 7, indicating a need for caution when commencing sampling.

This study was conducted 1) to compare the nutrient content and mineral composition of the Philoppine indigenous sheep and goats diets when grazed in common pasture during rainy season, 2) to determine the influence of sampling methods on nutrient content and mineral composition of upland (UP) and lowland (LP) native pastures, and 3) to compare these two pasture types in terms of nutrient and mineral composition. Experiment 1 used sis esophageally fistulated animals, three each for sheep and goats. Weekly extrusa collection was done for a period of three months. Experiment 2 was conducted in UP and LP; these were sampled thrice by three methods, plucking, clipping and use of three esophageally fistulated sheep. Results of Experiment 1 indicated that the diets of sheep were greater in crude protein(CP; p < 0.01) and ether extract(EE; p < 0.05) but lower in crude fiber (CF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL; p < 0.05) than that of goat diets. All other nutrient fractions including mineral composition were not significantly different from each other. Significant findings of Experiment 2 were: CP content of UP was in the order fistulated > plucked > clipped (p < 0.05); CP content of LP was greater (p <0 .05) in fistulated and plucked samples; and ash content was greater (p < 0.05) in fistulated samples of both pastures. The CP of UP was different (p < 0.05) from each sampling method but the CP of LP and ADL of both pastures were greater (p < 0.05) in clipped samples. Most minerals either macro or microminerals were greater in fistulated samples of both pastures. Pooled data of the two pastures showed that LP had better nutrient characteristics and greater mineral composition. Based from this study, there were few differences between the diets of indigenous sheep and goats when grazed in common pasture. Also, sampling methods influenced the nutrient composition of indigenous sheep diets.

The objective of this research was to assess the amount of carbon stock of coarse woody debris (CWD) in Bombo-Lumene Reserve. Data on lying CWD was collected on 35 circular sampling plots using Line Intersect Sampling (LIS) method. A total of 230 samples CWD (${\geq}10cm$ diameter) were inventoried. The mean carbon stocks of CWD was $29.48Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, ranging from 4.32 to $73.54Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$. The CWD carbon stocks displayed a wide range of variation in decay states. The allocation of CWD among the decay class of all the CWD samples reveals that the most important classes were class 1 and class 3 with 323.66 and $321.96Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$, followed by class 4 with 264.56 and the last one was class 2 with $121.72Mg\;C\;ha^{-1}$. The results suggested that the dead wood component is important in carbon sequestration and should be taken into consideration for quantification of carbon stocks not only in Bombo-Lumene Reserve, but in all forest ecosystems in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A simplified closed static chamber method was devised for measurement of methane flux from paddy fields. Compared to automatic methane measuring system(AMMS) this chamber method provides availability with moderate costs of setup and maintenance, while it also provides the time-effectiveness compared to other closed top-type chamber method. It accomodates 30 chambers within 2 hours sampling period with two persons. And it provide a rapid and accurate analysis of methane, 30-40 samples per hour. Modified method for $N_2O$ measurements provides a precise and accurate analysis of nitrous oxide without upgrading additional heating zones for gas sampling(switching) valves.
