This study was conducted to quantify soil $CO_2$ efflux using the continuous measurement method and to examine the applicability of an automatic continuous measurement system in a Korean deciduous broad-leaved forest. Soil respiration rate (Rs) was assessed through continuous measurements during the 2004-2005 full growing seasons using an automatic opening/closing chamber system in sections of a Gwangneung temperate deciduous forest, Korea. The study site was an old-growth natural mixed deciduous forest approximately 80 years old. For each full growth season, the annual Rs, which had a gap that was filled with data using an exponential function derived from soil temperature (Ts) at 5-cm depth, and Rs values collected in each season were 2,738.1 g $CO_2$ $m^{-2}y^{-1}$ in 2004 and 3,355.1 g $CO_2$ $m^{-2}y^{-1}$ in 2005. However, the diurnal variation in Rs showed stronger correlations with Ts (r = 0.91, P < 0.001 in 2004, r = 0.87, P < 0.001 in 2005) and air temperature (Ta) (r = 0.84, P < 0.001 in 2004, r = 0.79, P < 0.001 in 2005) than with deep Ts during the spring season. However, the temperature functions derived from the Ts at various depths of 0, -2, -5, -10, and -20 cm revealed that the correlation coefficient decreased with increasing soil depth in the spring season, whereas it increased in the summer. Rs showed a weak correlation with precipitation (r = 0.25, P < 0.01) and soil water content (r = 0.28, P < 0.05). Additionally, the diurnal change in Rs revealed a higher correlation with Ta than that of Ts. The $Q_{10}$ values from spring to winter were calculated from each season's dataset and were 3.2, 1.5, 7.4, and 2.7 in 2004 and 6.0, 3.1, 3.0, and 2.6 in 2005; thus, showing high fluctuation within each season. The applicability of an automatic continuous system was demonstrated for collecting a high resolution soil $CO_2$ efflux dataset under various environmental conditions.

Five adult sheep were exposed to intermittent cold for 12 h (18:00-06:00) at an air temperature of $5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ followed by 12 h (06:00-18:00) at $25{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ over a period of 8 days continuously. Carotid artery blood (Tc), mean skin (Ts) and mean body (Tb = 0.86 Tc + 0.14 Ts) temperatures, heat production rate (HP), respiratory evaporative heat loss, respiration rate (RR) and volume were measured before and after exposure. Tc during the 12 h cold period of intermittent cold exposure was similar to that during the corresponding period in the warm environment, while Tc in the $25^{\circ}C$ of intermittent cold was higher (p < 0.05) than that in the corresponding period in the warm environment. Ts during the cold period markedly decreased (p < 0.001) by about $9^{\circ}C$ when compared with that in the corresponding time period in the warm environment, while Ts during the $25^{\circ}C$ period of intermittent cold recovered to a similar level to that in the warm environment. Tb was lower (p < 0.001) during the cold period of intermittent cold, whereas a slight increase in Tb during the $25^{\circ}C$ period of intermittent cold was significant (p < 0.05) when compared with the value during the similar period in the warm environment. HP was greatly increased (p < 0.001) by cold exposure, followed by an immediate decrease during the first one hour of the 12 h warm period, reaching a similar level to that in the warm environment. A lower (p < 0.05) RR was observed during both the cold and $25^{\circ}C$ period of intermittent cold than during the corresponding periods in the warm environment. The results of the present investigation clearly show that the body temperature of sheep increased during a 12 h warm period following 12 h of exposure to cold. These results suggest that during a warm period of an intermittent cold exposure cycle, heat could be shored in the animal body.

'Unicon' cherry tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most highly perishable horticultural crops due to its high water content and respiration rate. This study was carried out to assess the effect of continuous application of $CO_2$ (control [air], 3%, and 5%) on the quality and shelf life of cherry tomato fruits stored at $10^{\circ}C$ and $85{\pm}5%$ relative humidity (RH) at two maturity stages (pink and red). Continuous application of $CO_2$ did not affect the soluble solids content (SSC) or titratable acidity (TA) of the fruit at either maturity stage during storage. However, there was a significant difference among treatments in terms of flesh firmness, cell wall thickness, pectin content, vitamin C content, skin color, lycopene content, weight loss, ethylene production rate, respiration rate, and acetaldehyde and ethanol production. Fruits treated with 5% $CO_2$ maintained their high quality with regards to vitamin C, skin color ($a^*$), lycopene content, weight loss, physiological parameters (ethylene production rate, respiration rate, and volatile compounds), flesh firmness, cell wall thickness, and pectin content at both maturity stages compared with 3% $CO_2$ treatment and the control. Continuous application of $CO_2$ (5%) reduced the ethylene production rate and the production of volatile compounds during storage. Therefore, cherry tomato 'Unicon' fruit can be stored for two weeks without losing fruit quality at both maturity stages under continuous application of 5% $CO_2$ as a postharvest treatment.

Purpose : This study was conducted to investigate the effect of positive active pressure technique and active breathing technique on lung function in healthy adults. Methods : In this study, the passive lung expansion technique and active respiration enhancement technique using an air mask bag unit were conducted in 30 normal adults to observe changes in pulmonary function with forced vital capacity (FVC), Forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1). In order to observe the change in the level of respiratory function, we would like to investigate the peak expiratory flow (PEF) and the forced expiratory flow (FEF 25-75 %). Results : As a result of this study, there was no significant difference in comparison between the passive lung expansion technique and the active breathing enhancement technique (p>.05). The passive lung expansion technique effectively increased the effortful expiratory volume and the median expiratory flow rate of 1 second (p<.05). And the passive lung expansion technique effectively increased the effortless lung capacity and the maximum expiration flow rate (p<.05). Conclusion : The passive lung expansion technique effectively increases the range of motion of the lungs and chest cages, intrathoracic pressure, and elasticity of the lungs, and the active breathing technique increases the muscle functions such as the diaphragm and the biceps muscles. It is expected that it will be able to selectively improve the respiratory function of patients with respiratory diseases or functional limitations as it is found to be effective.

방사선 치료 분야에서 환자를 고정시킬 수 있는 더 나은 도구에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 전신방사선 수술과 세기 조절 방사선 치료 등의 치료 방법에서는 확실하면서도 실용적인 고정 기구가 필요하다. 외부 빔 방사선 치료시 복부를 고정하는 새로운 방법으로, 공기 주입형 풍선 담요(air-injected balloon blanket, AIBB)를 설계, 제작하였다. 공기가 풍선 담요의 내부로 주입되며 환자의 복부를 눌러 환자를 고정시킨다. AIBB는 환자의 움직임을 고정시키는데 유용한 역할을 하여, 환자의 복부에서 호흡에 의해 가장 많이 움직이는 앞뒤 방향 움직임을 5 mm 이상 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이러한 고정 기구의 이용으로 호흡에 따르는 환자의 움직임이 감소되었고, 실험 결과는 AIBB를 임상에서 사용하는 것이 가능하다는 것을 보여주었다.

This study aims to analyze middle school students' systemic thinking to express organic relations between different organ systems about the movement of food and air and teachers' reflective thinking about science teaching through their reflective journals after the lesson of digestion, circulation, respiration and excretion. Firstly, when investigating the moving route of hamburger eaten inside the body, students expressed the names, locations and forms of organs in the digestive system more than those in the circulatory system or the excretory system. When investigating the moving route of a painkiller taken inside the body, students seemed to have more difficulty in expressing the related organ systems than when investigating the moving route of other things, and they mostly drew pictures of organs in the digestive system as done for the moving route of hamburger. However, when investigating the moving route of water drunk inside the body, students mostly described organs in the digestive system but drew more pictures of organs in the excretory system, than when investigating the moving route of other things. When investigating the moving route of air inhaled inside the body, students mostly drew pictures of organs in the respiratory system, but the rate of their drawing pictures of circulatory organs was low. Secondly, this study analyzed one of the teachers' reflective journals, named Mr. Park. According to his journal, students showed different levels of understanding of organ names, depending on their degrees of familiarity with each organ, and in regard to the locations of organs, science teachers mostly aim to achieve learning objectives so much that they often forget to instruct the locations of organs in fact. As for the forms of organs, science teachers mostly spend so much time explaining the functions of organs that they often forget to describe the exact form of each organ.

Effects of initial controlled atmosphere (CA) treatment on quality maintenance of 'Fuji' apples were assessed and compared with 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment and continuous CA storage. Apples were harvested twice at different maturity, treated with 1 ${\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 1-MCP and then stored for 8 months at $0^{\circ}C$ under 3 conditions: air, CA for the first month followed by air (initial CA), and continuous CA (full CA). CA storage was performed with 1.5 kPa $O_2$ and < 1.0 kPa ($N_2$ balance). Following long-term storage, export simulation, refrigerated shipment and local distribution, were performed by holding apples at $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 weeks and on the shelf at $20^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Both the application of 1-MCP and CA storage reduced ethylene production and respiration rates. Initial CA storage was also effective on reducing the metabolism although the effects were not as noticeable as full CA. Full CA storage with or without 1-MCP treatment maintained titratable acidity, flesh firmness, and sensory quality at the acceptable to excellent level even after the export simulation following 8-month storage regardless of harvest maturity. In contrast, effects of initial CA storage were limited to the maintenance of firmness and texture in early-harvested apples. Overall results indicated that harvest maturity is the critical factor for export fruit quality after long-term storage when separate treatment of initial CA storage or 1-MCP treatment is applied as a postharvest program.

Real-time monitoring for environmental factors (temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a, etc.) and fugacity of carbon dioxide ($fCO_2$) was conducted at an oyster Crassostrea gigas farm in Goseong Bay, south coast of Korea during 2-4th of November, 2011. Surface temperature and salinity were ranged from $17.9-18.7^{\circ}C$ and 32.7-33.8, respectively, with daily and inter-daily variations due to tidal currents. Surface $fCO_2$ showed a range of $390-510{\mu}atm$ and was higher than air $CO_2$ during the study period. Surface temperature, salinity and $fCO_2$ are showed significant correlations with chl.-a and nutrients, respectively. It means when chl.-a value is high in surface water of the oyster farm, active biological production consume $CO_2$ and nutrients from environments and produce oxygen, suggesting a tight feedback between biological processes and environmental reaction. Thus, factors affecting the surface $fCO_2$ were evaluated using a simple mass balance. Temperature and biological productions by phytoplankton are the main factors for $CO_2$ drawdown from afternoon to early night, while biological respiration increases seawater $CO_2$ at night. Air-sea exchange fraction acts as a $CO_2$ decreasing gear during the study period and is much effective when the wind speed is higher than $2-3m\;s^{-1}$. Future studies about organic carbon and biological production/respiration are required for evaluating the roles of oyster farms on carbon sink and coastal carbon cycle.

본 연구의 목적은 실제 디젤유로 오염된 불포화 토양을 복원하기 위해 수행되었던 고온공기 주입 파일롯 테스트에서 토양온도 변화가 생분해 속도에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 히는 것이었고, 이것을 토대로 현장 생분해 속도, 최적의 생분해 온도 및 1차 분해 속도 상수를 도출하고 총복원기간을 예측해 보았다. 실험은 과거 디젤유 누출 사고가 있었던 고농도 오염지역에 대해 토양의 온도별 현장 호흡률(in-situ respiration)을 약 10일 간격으로 측정하는 식으로 진행되었다. 적용된 복원공법은 고온공기를 주입/추출하여 1차적으로 오염된 디젤 성분을 휘발, 추출하고 이어서 토양의 잔열과 미생물 생분해를 이용하여 토양내 잔류 디젤을 제거하는 후속공정으로 이루어졌다. 토양온도 $26\sim60^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 산소소비속도는 $2.2\sim46.3%/day$ 값을 보였고 $32^{\circ}C$에서 가장 빠른 46.3%/day를 나타냈다. 산소소비속도를 기준으로 하여 계산한 0차반응 생분해 속도(biodegradation rate)는 $6.5\sim21.3mg/kg-day$ 이었고 역시 토양온도 $ 32^{\circ}C$ 에서 최대값을 보였고 그 이전과 이후는 각각 감소된 값을 나타냈다. 주기적으로 측정된 현장호흡률을 바탕으로 계산한 1차 분해속도 k는 몇가지 온도 범위에서 즉, $0.0027\;d^{-1}(@32.8^{\circ}C),\;0.0013\;d^{-1}(@41.1^{\circ}C)$ 그리고 $0.0006\;d^{-1}(@52.7^{\circ}C)$ 이었다. 토양의 초기 TPH 농도 대비목표 농도를 870 mg/kg으로 가정했을 경우 소요 복원기간은 $2\mu9$년 정도 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다.

본 연구는 '후지' 과실을 대상으로 저온저장(온도: $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$)을 1개월 처리한 후 CA 저장(CA 저장 조건: $O_2$ $2.5{\pm}0.5$%, $CO_2$ $1.5{\pm}0.5$%, 온도: $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) 4개월 + 저온저장 3개월(CA 4M + Air 3M), CA 저장 5개월 + 저온저장 2개월(CA 5M + Air 2M), CA 저장 6개월 + 저온저장 1개월(CA 6M + Air 1M)로 처리하였고, CA 저장은 수확 후 즉시 처리한 다음 저장기간에 따라 과실 내부갈변증상과 과실품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 과실의 내부갈변 증상은 일반 CA 저장에서는 저장 4개월 후에 17.1%로 시작하여 저장 7개월 후에는 30.2%로 매우 높은 발생을 보였다. 그러나 CA 4M + Air 3M 처리구와 CA 5M + Air 2M 처리구는 과실 내부갈변증상이 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 각 처리별 호흡량의 변화는 저장 6개월까지는 차이가 없었고, 저장 7개월 후에는 CA 4M + Air 3M 처리구와 CA 5M + Air 2M 처리구가 낮은 호흡량을 보였다. 에틸렌 및 내생 에틸렌 발생량은 일반 CA 저장에서는 가장 낮았고, CA 환경해제기간이 빠를수록 다소 높은 발생량을 보였다. 과실품질에서 처리별 경도와 산 함량의 변화를 보면 일반 CA 저장에 비하여 CA 저장 4, 5, 6개월 후 저온저장처리간에는 차이가 없었다. 따라서 과실의 저장력 향상을 위하여 지속적인 CA 저장을 하기보다는 CA 저장 5개월 후에 환경설정을 해제하고 저온저장을 유지하여도 과실품질을 유지할 수 있었다.
