  • The paper aims to figure out the meaning of money in terms of communication in which we can find the specific communicative and cultural form of money. In the modern capitalist society, we cannot limit money within the economical terms - for example, store of value, medium of exchange, unit of account and means of payment - because money mediates all human activities beyond the economic boundary and conveys specific meaning in the social and the cultural area. Money can be the medium of the cultural and the communicational as well as the medium of the economic. In this respect, we've try to articulate money with linguistic or semiotic insight. Through this theoretical dialogue, we find two significations of money as a medium of communication. The first signification is meta-signification which drives the individual to the unlimited accumulation of the money. Meta-signification displace the second signification of the money that is the singular, over-determined and the mosaic significations. In this process money can be the signifier without signification. And then, money is the Master signifier which all sign should be identified imaginary. Finally, Money is not only the re-presense (Darstellung) of all sings but also the representative (Vertretung) of all signs. But this double position creates some tensions and makes master signifier of money unstable. Man's analysis of Bonapartism, which shares the linguistic or semiotic insight, shows the crack of the re-presence between the representative. Like Marx's analysis, the money has the tension between two signification which makes the room for the struggle to signify.

  • The research was aimed to improve pre-harvest methods to maintain marketability in postharvest leaf lettuce. In this study, the effect of hydroponics on the growth and post-harvest storage characteristics of 'Chongchima' lettuce grown in peat mass medium hydroponic system using a non-powered culture device or deep water culture (DWC) was evaluated. There was no difference in fresh weight, leaf number, SPAD, moisture content, and C/N ratio between peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC methods except plant height. It was found that lettuce cultivation by a nonpowered hydroponics method is easier than the existing DWC. The quality parameters, such as fresh weight loss, SPAD value, and general appearance of lettuce were investigated after harvest. There was no significant difference in fresh weight loss and general appearance during storage of lettuce by the hydroponics methods. However, with the increased storage time of SPAD, which is related to chlorophyll content, was slightly higher in peat moss medium hydroponic was than DWC. When crops such as lettuce are grown under favorable conditions without any agronomic abnormalities, it is suggested that post-harvest storage is not significantly affected by peat moss growing medium hydroponic and DWC.

  • Effects of shaking, medium consistency and anther density on polyhaploid production in two wheat cultivars, Pavon and Chris, were studied using a modified 85D12 medium. Pavon produced more calli in shaking and more albino plants tban Chris. However, Chris produced threefold more green plants than Pavon in non-shaking treatment. More calli and green plants were derived from non-shaking treatment than those from shaking treatment. Anthers were cultured on both liquid and semi-solid 85D12 media, using two anther densities, 48 and 96 anthers per plate. Although Pavon generally produced more calli and albino plants than Chris, Chris produced more green plants than Pavon. More green plants were derived from semi-solid medium than those from liquid medium. A factor that may affect plant regeneration from anthers is the length of time on initiation medium. Most of the calli for both genotypes were transferred during the first two time periods. Fertility, as measured by seed set, was determined for all surviving regenerated plants. About 24% of Chris and Pavon anther-derived green plants in the experiment of medium consistency and anther density produced seed.

  • The effects of MS salt strength, sucrose, and cultural conditions on bulblet formation and growth were investigated to optimize the conditions for micropropagating bulblets from in vitro bulb scales of Lilium Oriental Hybrid 'Casa Blanca'. There was no difference on bulblet formation in the range of 1/2~2 $\times$ strength of MS salt, but it was inhibited remarkably in 3 $\times$ strength of MS salt. The growth of regenerated bulblets was most stimulated on MS basal medium. Favorable bulblet formation and its growth from bulb scales were achieved when grown on the media with 1 : 2 or 1 : 3 in the ratio of NH$_4$^+ : NO$_3$^- , as well as on MS basal medium (NH$_4$^+ : NO$_3$^- = about l : 2). Therefore, MS basal medium was very suitable for bulblet formation and growth from bulb scales. Bulblet formation was inhibited but its growth was stimulated with increase sucrose concentration in the medium. The growth of regenerated bulblets was very effective on the media with 9~12% sucrose. Addition of activated charcoal (AC) to the medium inhibited bulblet formation from bulb scales, but enhanced the growth of regenerated bulblets. Especially, the medium containing 1 g/L AC was most effective on the growth of bulblets. No difference was found on bulblet formation and growth from bulb scales under light and dark conditions. In vitro micropropagation of L. Oriental Hybrid 'Casa Blanca' was supposed very reasonable to enhance the growth of the bulblets after forming of bulblets from in vitro bulb scales, and then, subculture the bulb scales from the grown bulblets on MS medium with 9% sucrose and 1 g/L AC.

  • The Stone Monument of Taejong King in Heonreung Royal Tomb, Seoul was originally erected in 1424 to pay a tribute to Bang Won Lee's achievement who was named Taejong, the Third King of Joseon Dynasty. The monument has been damaged by Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 so that another monument was newly made and erected together with the original monument in 1695. The original monument was made of medium-grained biotite granite for the turtle base and medium-grained milky white crystalline limestone for the stele body and the top stone. The turtle base of the original monument is destroyed beyond the original shape and inscription due to irregular shaped breaking and a set of longitudinal crack. Analyzing the deterioration degree by using nondestructive methods, the 88 percentage of the front area and 38 percentage of the back area of the monument are damaged, and the lower part of the stele body is dominantly deteriorated especially due to the combination of discoloration and physical deterioration. The new monument in 1695 is also made of granite and limestone. The weathering indices of the turtle base and stele body stones by the calculation from ultrasonic velocity are 0.10 and 0.74, respectively. This is because the original monument is presumed to be degraded by heat shock and physical attack during the Japanese war, and the long-term outdoor exposure accelerated the weathering of the monument afterward without protective shelter.

  • Cultural conditions and carbon sources affecting the productivity of cellulolytic enzymes of Pleurotus ostreatus 201 were examined in synthetic media. The optimum cultural temperature and initial pH for the production of enzymes were $25^{\circ}C$ and 5.5 in avicelase, and 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 5.0 In CMCase, and 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 6.5 in B-glucosidase. Among carbon sources, cellulose powder was the best for the production of avicelase, and Na-CMC for CMCase, and cellobiose for $\beta$-glucosidase. The optimum concentration of cellulose powder was 1.0% (w/v), and glucose depressed the production of enzymes remarkably.

  • In this paper, we examine the points of similarity and difference between Korea, Japan, and the USA in terms of the spin-off effects of space technology on cultural life. In Japan and the USA, spin-off effects of space development research by government funded research centers are diffusive while in Korea they are interruptive. Spin-offs of research results impact cultural life via technology transfer and commercialization in businesses. This is because the Korean aerospace industry has progressed largely based on an overall system, but the promotion of internal parts and sub-systems, which can trigger technological development and spin-off effects in manufacturing, has been neglected. In the case of the KARI, the government funded research center, we argue that it is necessary for KARI to devote more resources to transfer (or promote spin-offs of) space technology to small and medium-sized businesses and other industries.

  • Mycosphaerella nawae, the causal organism, of spotted leaf casing disease of persimmon, was isolated from infected leaves showing typical symptom. The cultural characteristics of the fungus were compared on artificial media. Among 24 different combinations of culture media and supplements, oatmeal agar+persimmon leaf extract (PLE) and PAD+ PLE+streptomycin showed the highest rate of isolating as 57.1%. The best medium for mycelial growth of the fungus was PDA+persimmon leaf powder (PLP). The colony diameter was reached 47mm for 30 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$. PDA+PLE also supported good mcyelial growth showing 46mm of diameter in same condition. The optimum growth temperature of this fungus in PDA was recognized fairly low. The mycelial growth was higher at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than 15$^{\circ}C$. The variation of pH between pH 4 to pH 8 did not affect to the mycelial growth of the pathogen.

  • Microorganisms were isolated from Dongchundang(wooden cultural heritage) with PDA medium culture. Nineteen species shows the cellulolytic activity. Methylobacterium sp. was the most active in cellulose degradation. The growth curve and pH were measured during incubation of the microorganism for 72 hours. The pH was increased with the increasing of microbial growth. The degree of cellulose degradation was determined with the amount of reducing sugar by use of dinitrosalicylic acid (DNS) method. The amount of reducing sugar was decreased after 45 hours. As a results, It should suggested that wood component were deteriorated by Methylobacterium sp..
