The production of sweet (su) and super sweet corns (sh2) has been economically feasible in Korea in recent years. Major factors limiting super sweet corn production are low germination and low seedling vigor. Since seed quality is closely related to seed maturity, the optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet and super sweet corns was studied and the quality of seeds with varying maturities was investigated in 2001 and 2002 cropping seasons. The parents of the sweet corn seeds were Hybrid Early Sunglow and 'Golden Cross Bantam 70' and those of super sweet corn were Xtrasweet 82 and 'For­tune'. Seeds were harvested at 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, and 56 days after silking (DAS). As the seeds developed, seed weight of sweet corn increased and the seed moisture content decreased faster than that of super sweet corn. Germination rates of sweet corn seeds harvested 21 and 28 DAS at $25^{\circ}C$ and emergence rates in the cold soil test were significantly lower than those of seeds harvested after 42 DAS in both years. Although the germination rates of super sweet corn seeds with varying maturities showed similar patterns as sweet corn seeds at $25^{\circ}C$, the emergence rate of super sweet corn seeds in cold soil test continuously increased with seed maturity. This suggests that seed quality of super sweet corn should be tested in a cold soil test to estimate field emergence. As the seeds developed, leakage of total sugars and electrolytes from the both sweet and super sweet corn seeds decreased up to 42 or 49 DAS. The $\alpha-amylase$ activities of both sweet and super sweet corn seeds increased with seed maturity from 21 to 35 or 49 DAS depending on genotype and year. The optimum harvest time for the seed production of sweet corn was 42 DAS and 49 DAS for super sweet corn considering emergence rate and plumule dry weight in the cold soil test, leakage of sugars and electrolytes from the seeds, and $\alpha-amylase$ activity.

Recently many countries have become interested in the development of cold or arctic regions. The construction of engineered structures in those regions demands an understanding of the deformation characteristics of frozen soil. However, an understanding of frozen soil behavior poses difficult problems owing to the complex interaction between the soil particles and the ice matrix. In this research, a series of laboratory tests was performed to investigate the variations in the unconfined compression strength and split tensile strength of weathered granite soil and mixed soil (standard sand and kaolinite) in 15 degrees below zero environments. In the frozen soil tests, specimens were prepared with various water and clay contents, and then the interrelationships between four factors (water content, clay content, unconfined compression strength, split tensile strength) were analyzed. The test results were summarized as follows; as the water content was increased, the unconfined compressive and split tensile strengths also increased in frozen soil. However as the clay content was increased, the unconfined compressive and split tensile strengths were lowered. In the case of frozen soil that contained little clay content, the strength decreased rapidly in mixed soil (standard sand and kaolinite) when the frozen specimen was broken. On the other hand, in the cases of mixed soil that contained a high clay content and weathered granite soil, the strength decreased relatively slowly.

The first Korean cold room facility for ice mechanics experiments was assembled in 2004. Since then, the $4m{\times}6m$ cold room facility has been used, extensively under various environmental and loading conditions. After reviewing published references on cold room testing methods and also by trial and error, the standard procedures for testing and preparing laboratory ice material were established for the measurement of basic ice properties. In this paper, laboratory experimental techniques with the cold room facility and standard procedures established for ice material properties are introduced. Test specimens include laboratory-grown fresh water ice and frozen soils. Tests are carried out for unconfined compressive strength. Preparation and dimension of the specimen are the most important issues arising in cold room tests. The details of specimen preparation, testing procedure and strength test results are also discussed.

The interaction between the frozen soil and building structures deteriorates with the increasing temperature. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) stratification test was conducted with respect to the unfrozen water content on the interface and a shear test was conducted on the frozen soil-structure interface to explore the shear characteristics of the frozen soil-structure interface and its failure mechanism during the thawing process. The test results showed that the unfrozen water at the interface during the thawing process can be clearly distributed in three stages, i.e., freezing, phase transition, and thawing, and that the shear strength of the interface decreases as the unfrozen water content increases. The internal friction angle and cohesive force display a change law of "as one falls, the other rises," and the minimum internal friction angle and maximum cohesive force can be observed at -1℃. In addition, the change characteristics of the interface strength parameters during the freezing process were compared, and the differences between the interface shear characteristics and failure mechanisms during the frozen soil-structure interface freezing-thawing process were discussed. The shear strength parameters of the interface was subjected to different changes during the freezing-thawing process because of the different interaction mechanisms of the molecular structures of ice and water in case of the ice-water phase transition of the test sample during the freezing-thawing process.

This test was conducted to determine the appropriate conditions of temperature, storage period, and soil moisture content when using cold storage of potted mother plants of as a means of sufficient dormant breaking and safe overwintering of the strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Sulhyang) mother plants. In the treatment by temperature for the dormant breaking of strawberry mother plants, the survival rate of natural overwintering was 91%, whereas the survival rate was 100% at 0, - 2, and - 5℃. As the storage temperature was decreased, the plant height of the mother plants became shorter which tended to decrease after planting. Survival of the mother plants was possible at - 5℃, but after planting, the growth and number of daughter plants decreased significantly. The number of daughter plants was highest at 22.8 per plant at - 2℃ storage. The strawberry mother plants could be stored for up to 8 months in cold storage. However, when the mother plants were stored for a long period, the number of daughter plants was small. When they were stored for 4 months, the growth of the mother plants was vigorous, and the number of runners and daughter plants was high. When the water content of the soil was less than 10 percent (%, w/w) in the cold storage of the pot, the survival rate was 85 percent, which was high due to the dryness. The survival rate was 100 percent at 30 and above, and the growth of the mother plants after planting and the number of daughter plants were high at 30 to 50.

동토기반 말뚝기초의 지지력은 말뚝구조물 표면과 주변 토사의 접촉면에서 발현되는 동착강도에 의해 산정되며, 이는 동착-강도가 동토지반 기초설계를 위한 가장 주요한 설계정수임을 의미한다. 동착강도는 토사종류, 동결온도, 말뚝표면에 수직방향으로 작용하는 지중응력, 재하속도, 말뚝구조물의 표면 거칠기 등 다양한 인자들에 동시다발적인 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 1960년대부터 동토지반 기초설계를 위한 동착강도 산정방법들이 제안되어 왔으나, 대부분 동결온도와 말뚝구조물 표면특성에 대한 영향은 고려하고 있는 반면 동착강도의 주요 영향인자 중 하나인 지중응력에 의한 영향을 고려하지 않고 있어 소정깊이 이상의 말뚝기초 설계를 위한 동착강도 산정방법으로 활용되기에는 한계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 동결온도뿐 아니라 지중응력이 동착강도에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 직접전단시험기를 활용한 동결토 전단강도 및 동착강도 측정실험을 각각 수행하였다. 실험결과 전단강도와 동착강도는 모두 동결온도 조건이 낮아질수록, 혹은 수직응력 조건이 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 전단강도와 동착강도의 정량적 관계분석을 위해 정의된 전단강도와 동착강도의 비 $r_s$는 초기 동결온도에서는 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 동결온도가 낮아질수록 증가하며 수렴구간을 형성해가는 경향을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 최종적인 연구결과로서 동결온도 및 수직응력 조건을 바탕으로 결정된 $r_s$값을 이용하여 동결토의 전단강도로부터 동착강도를 예측할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 있다.

동토지역 말뚝기초의 지지력은 말뚝과 토사의 접촉면에서 작용하는 동착강도에 지배된다. 말뚝주변 토사 내 간극수의 동결로 인해 발현되는 동착강도는 동토지반 기초설계에 있어 가장 주요한 설계정수로 고려되고 있다. 지난 50년간 동착강도에 대한 연구가 다각도로 수행되어 왔으나, 대부분 동결온도와 지중온도를 고정조건으로 그 영향력을 고려하지 않은 채 토사종류, 말뚝종류, 재하속도 등의 영향인자를 분석하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 동결온도와 마찰면에 작용하는 수직구속응력을 주요 변수로 적용하고, 토사종류, 말뚝종류, 재하속도 등은 고정조건으로 적용하여 직접전단방식의 동착강도 측정실험을 수행하였다. 실험재료로는 표면 가공이 용이하여 거칠기를 정밀하게 조절할 수 있는 알루미늄 모형과 주문진표준사를 활용하였다. 실험은 상온(> $0^{\circ}C$), $-1^{\circ}C$, $-2^{\circ}C$, $-5^{\circ}C$, $-10^{\circ}C$의 동결온도및 1atm, 2atm, 3atm의 수직구속응력 조건에서 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 동결온도와 수직구속응력이 동착강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 동착강도는 동결온도가 낮아질수록, 혹은 수직구속응력이 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 특히 단위온도차에 따른 동착강도의 증가율이 1)급증하는 구간과 2)점진적으로 감소하는 구간을 뚜렷하게 나타내며 변화하는 특성을 보였다. 또한, 동결온도의 저하에 따라 동착강도의 변화를 지배하는 요소가 마찰각에서 부착력으로 변화하며 수렴구간을 형성하는 경향을 나타냈다.

동토지반의 기초구조물을 설계하는데 있어 기초의 안정성을 지배하는 설계정수인 동결토의 전단강도 및 동착강도를 측정하기 위하여 지난 50여 년 동안 많은 연구가 수행되어 오고 있다. 하지만, 아직까지 동결토의 전단강도 특성에 관한 많은 연구들은 토사 종류, 수직구속응력, 동결온도조건 등 여러 가지 영향인자 중 제한된 영향인자의 변화를 통해 수행되어 왔다. 동결토는 일반 토질과는 달리 토립자, 물, 공기뿐만 아니라 얼음을 포함한 4상으로 구성되어 있으며, 동토의 역학적인 성질의 변화는 일반적으로 온도, 수직구속응력, 동토의 구성물질에 따라 영향을 받는다. 이와 같은 동결토의 전단강도 특성을 측정하기 위하여 영하 30도의 저온환경에서도 동작이 가능하도록 설계된 동결토 직접전단시험기를 활용하였으며, 동토지역의 저온환경을 모사하기 위하여 대형 냉동챔버 내에 직접전단시험기를 설치하였다. 동결토의 전단강도 특성을 측정하기 위하여 비교적 균질한 입경분포를 지닌 주문진표준사 및 실리카모래와 입도분포가 좋은 화강풍화토를 활용하였다. 각각 세가지 시료에 대하여 전단시험은 세가지 동결온도 조건 및 수직구속응력 조건에서 수행되었으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 동결온도조건 및 수직구속응력이 동결토의 전단강도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전반적으로 동결토의 전단강도는 동결온도가 낮아질수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으나, 수직구속응력에 의한 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to isolate and identify wild yeasts from soil collected in Daegu City and Cheongyang County, Republic of Korea. Among 11 strains isolated in this study, nine strains were previously reported and two strains were unreported in Republic of Korea. To identify wild yeast strains, pairwise sequence comparisons of the D1/D2 region of the 26S rRNA gene sequence were done using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). The cell morphologies were observed by phase contrast microscope and assimilation test are done using API 20C AUX kit. All strains were assigned to the phylum Basidiomycota. Of the two unrecorded yeast strains, CY-9-10C belongs to the genus Mrakia (family Mrakiaceae, order Cystofilobasidiales, class Tremellomycetes) and PG3-4-10C belongs to the genus Slooffia (family Chrysozymaceae, order Microbotryomycetes incertae sedis, class Microbotryomycetes). Both strains had oval-shaped and polar budding cells. This research described the morphological and biochemical properties of the two unreported yeast species that had not officially reported in Korea.
