Shelf-life of pork packaged under $CO_{2}$ was observed and the optimal volume of $CO_{2}$ gas was determined. High gas barrier film, EVOH($CO_{2}$ permiability; 1 $cc/cm^{2}{\cdot}24\;h{\cdot}atm$) was used as packaging material and the volume ratios of sample to $CO_{2}$ of 1 : 1, 1 : 3 and 1 : 5 were tried using the control of vacuum packaged pork. To ev.3luate quality of pork cuts, total plate counts, TBA, color and sensory score were monitored during the storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 31 days. TPC of vacuum packaged pork increased up to $4.6{\times}10^{6}\;CFU/cm^{2}$ in 24 days while that of $CO_{2}$ gas packaged pork $4.5{\times}10^{5}\;CFU/cm^{2}$ at the same storage period, and it took 7 days more for gas packaged pork to reach the same TPC count. There was no significant difference in TBA value between vacuum packaged and gas packaged pork. In the color L and a values were not affected by treatment but vacuum packaged pork cuts showed higher b value than gas packaged pork. According to sensory evaluation, gas packaged pork showed less off flavor, better flavor and freshness than vacuum packaged one (P<0.05).

Sediment samples were collected from the stations 0101-0921 located between N $32^{\circ}$30'~$34^{\circ}$30' and E $123^{\circ}$30'-$128^{\circ}$30' during July 31-August lO. 1988. The distributions of total heterotrophic bacteria, freshwater bacteria and hydrocarbon degrading bacteria were studied. Each bacterial distribution was in the range of $3{\times}10^{5}~9.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$sediment, $3{\times}10^{3}~2.1{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment and $2{\times}10^{4}~6.2{\times}10^{6}CFU/cm^{3}$ sediment. respectively. The percent of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria against total heterotrophic bacteria was 0.7-73,2 % which was much higher than other marine sediments reported. These values were statistically analyzed with the percent of freshwater bacteria against total heterotrophic bacteria. These two parameters were well correlated with the correlation coefficient r= 0.60058 (n=34) and P=0.OOO2. This means that the distributions of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria and freshwater bacteria in the research area were affected together by the fresh water discharge into the sea environment. Therefore it can be concluded that the distribution of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria in the sediment of South Sea was affected by petroleum hydrocarbon input from terrestrial region through rivers.

To improvement the swelling characteristics of the existing cutoff wall against the moisture, the permeability of the sand, calcium bentonite and solidifier mixture according to the contact with trichloroethylene (TCE) was evaluated. Characteristics analysis and the permeability test of the research materials were performed. The permeability was decreased as the mixing ratio of the calcium bentonite was increased and it was increased as the mixing ratio of the solidifier was increased. In conclusion, when mixing 15% of calcium bentonite and more than 30% of solidifier, the permeability coefficient in the underground water movement was analyzed as more than α × 10^-4 cm/sec showing that it does not block the underground water movement. In addition, as the permeability coefficient of mixtures after TCE reaction was analyzed as less than α ×10^-7 cm/sec, it satisfied the condition of blocking layer (less than 1.0 × 10^-6 cm/sec). Therefore, the calcium bentonite and solidifier can be utilized as barrier that showing the characteristic of percolation ability conversion in soil and underground water contaminated with TCE.

The cone-beam CT (CBCT) which is acquired using on-board imager (OBI) attached to a linear accelerator is widely used for the image guided radiation therapy. In this study, the effect of respiratory motion on the quality of CBCT image was evaluated. A phantom system was constructed in order to simulate respiratory motion. One part of the system is composed of a moving plate and a motor driving component which can control the motional cycle and motional range. The other part is solid water phantom containing a small cubic phantom ($2{\times}2{\times}2cm^3$) surrounded by air which simulate a small tumor volume in the lung air cavity CBCT images of the phantom were acquired in 20 different cases and compared with the image in the static status. The 20 different cases are constituted with 4 different motional ranges (0.7 cm, 1.6 cm, 2.4 cm, 3.1 cm) and 5 different motional cycles (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 sec). The difference of CT number in the coronal image was evaluated as a deformation degree of image quality. The relative average pixel intensity values as a compared CT number of static CBCT image were 71.07% at 0.7 cm motional range, 48.88% at 1.6 cm motional range, 30.60% at 2.4 cm motional range, 17.38% at 3.1 cm motional range The tumor phantom sizes which were defined as the length with different CT number compared with air were increased as the increase of motional range (2.1 cm: no motion, 2.66 cm: 0.7 cm motion, 3.06 cm: 1.6 cm motion, 3.62 cm: 2.4 cm motion, 4.04 cm: 3.1 cm motion). This study shows that respiratory motion in the region of inhomogeneous structures can degrade the image quality of CBCT and it must be considered in the process of setup error correction using CBCT images.

A novel 8 V DC power source with an external series-parallel connection of 50 Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs) has been proposed. One DSC has the optimized length to width ratio of $5.2{\times}2.6\;cm$ and an active area $8\;cm^2$ ($4.62{\times}1.73\;cm$) which attained a conversion efficiency of 4.02%. From the electrochemical impedance spectroscopic analysis, it was found that the resistance elements related to the Pt electrode and electrolyte interface behave like that of diode and the series resistance corresponds to the sum of the other resistance elements. Surface morphology and sheet resistance of Pt counter electrode did not degrade the performance of the cell. This novel 8V-0.33A DC power source shows stable performance with an energy conversion efficiency of 4.24% under 1 sun illumination (AM 1.5, Pin of $100\;mW/cm^2$).

To confirm the usefulness of partial least-squares(PLS) and multiple scattering correction(MSC) method for quantitation of surfactants in [quantitative methods using FT-lR, reconsitituted mixtures of LAS, MES and ELA-9 were tested. Each mixture was dissolved in 50% EtOH, dried, and applied to the KBr cell. From the IR spectra of these mixture, the variance spectrum was obtained. After repeated calibrations for the various regios of this spectrum, we found that 1245-1130cm-1 and 1070-1010cm-1 showed the strong correlation with each component of the sample mixture: all the correlation coefficients were 1.000 and quantitative errors did not exceed 0.32%. From this result, we concluded that PLS method and MSC method are very useful and can be successfully applied to Quality control.

This work was carried out to know the relation between the yield and the cutting length of mulberry branches in autumn. The results obtained are summarized as fellows, 1. Most of the experimented mulberry trees grew evenly, of which branches showed 171cm to 177cm in average length. 2. No difference could be seen in autumn yield among the treatments, however, the shorter branches were remained, the higher in ratio of re-sprouting bud. 3. The spring yield of cutting mode in 100cm and 200cm remained was as much as non-treatment, but dropped remarkably in below 80cm remained. The high productivity in the 100cm or above renamed mode accounts for the low ratio of no-sprouting bud and accelerating the growth of the shoot, which consequently become much of shoot yield per 1m of branch. By cutting branches, however, the ratio of amount of leaves per shoot became low. 4. The cutting mode in 100cm and 120cm remained can yield as much as non-treatment even in the total yields of spring and autumn. but 100cm mode seems to be more advanceable in autumn owing to a little sparing labor for picking leaves. Thus, the most desirable cutting mode in autumn may be in 100cm remained, which usually has been done at the part of one third or half of the whole branches.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum planting distance under rain-shielding condition for improving quality and productivity of squash by staking cultivation. The squashes were grown by 3 planting distances, such as 120${\times}$30, 120${\times}$40 and 120${\times}$50 cm during 3 months under non heat condition. The vine length, fresh weight and leaf area were reduced as planting distance was decreased until main branch was pinching. The first female flowering day and first fruit setting nodes were not different among treatments. The first fruit length and second fruit weight were increased in 120${\times}$50 cm planting distance, but the soluble solid contents were not different among treatments. In 120${\times}$30 cm plant distance, total yield was highest (6,510 kg/10a), but marketable yie이 was lowest. When the planting distance was between 120${\times}$40 cm and 120${\times}$50 cm, the marketable rate was similar (over 98%), but marketable yield was highest in 120${\times}$40 cm planting distance (5,012 kg/10a). The results of this study indicated that the optimum planting distance of staking cultivation in squash seemed to be 120${\times}$40cm.
