In order to understand the characteristics of soil according to the cultivation environment of Chinese bellflower (Platycodon grandiflorum A.), soil chemical properties of 12 collected soil samples from 6 cultivated fields in Okcheon, Chungbuk province in August. 2017 were analyzed. The soil pH was distributed within the range of 4.61 to 5.25 at all cultivation years and E.C (Electric Conductivity) and T-N (Total Nitrogen) of the cultivation year were not significant. Available $P_2O_5$ was higher than the average for medicinal crops and P. grandiflorum in Korea and C.E.C (Cation Exchange Capacity) was inconsistent for each cultivation year. In particularly, it was validated that the content of exchangeable cations K, Ca, Ma, and Na in this experiment was similar to that of C.E.C according to the cultivation years, because C.E.C had a high correlation with the exchangeable cations. For the available $P_2O_5$, as affected by trans-planting, 5Y-NT-H (cultivated 5 years and non-transplanted) had 58 mg/kg, while 5Y-T-H (cultivated 5 years and transplanted) had 246 mg/kg. The soil pH was found to be lower (acidic) in diseased soils than healthy soils. E.C was confirmed to be was higher in diseased soils than healthy soils except for the one cultivated for 2 years. The contents of T-N and available $P_2O_5$ were higher in diseased soil except for the one cultivated for 5 years and 11 years. The exchangeable cation K and Na tended to be higher in diseased soils rather than that in healthy soils, and the exchangeable cation Ca and Mg contents were higher in healthy soils than in diseased soils. The C.E.C of the soil was lower than that of healthy soils in all of the years except for the one which was cultivated for 5 years (transplanted).

Purpose: This study aims to identify factors affecting the adoption of e-commerce by household businesses in Vietnam's food and beverage industry. Research design, data and methodology: The integrated TAM and TOE frameworks and ten hypotheses were developed to test the relationship between relevant factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect valid data from 992 respondents who run F&B household businesses in Vietnam. Results: The empirical research results confirm all proposed hypotheses that e-commerce adoption is affected by the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, vendor support partners, social expectancy, competitive pressure, subjective norm, and household resources. Meanwhile, technical readiness, environment readiness, and organization readiness are intermediate variables that influence the implementation of e-commerce in food and beverage distribution. Conclusions: The findings suggest effective orientations to foster the food and beverage e-trading practice for household businesses in developing countries. Accordingly, to encourage private household businesses to adopt e-commerce, it is necessary to focus on improving business resources, technology readiness, environment readiness, and organization readiness through raising awareness of usefulness, benefits, perceived ease of use, and increased support of vendor partners. Future research can focus on improving the efficiency of e-commerce applications in F&B distribution for both household businesses and larger-scale enterprises.

It was firstly revealed in this research that the marine terrace of the Ijin-ri (Bukpyung-myeon, Haenam-gun) was formed during the last interglacial (Marine Isotope Stage 5e; MIS 5e). The marine terrace totally ranging from 4.8 m (asl) to 8.8 m (asl) is subdivided into 4 units; Unit I ranges 4.8-5.3 m, unit II ranges 5.3-6.9 m, unit III ranges 6.9-8.3 m, and unit IV ranges 8.3-8.8 m. Strong evidences that units II and III were formed during MIS5e were obtained based on OSL dating, the physical characterizations such as particle size distribution, magnetic susceptibility and water content, principal element and trace element analyses, and quantitative clay mineral analysis for samples at the 30 cm intervals. The rounded gravels on the marine terrace are regarded to be originated from the clastic materials transported directly from the surrounding mountains toward the marine and abraded in the coastal area, without any fluvial processes. During the warmest period (125k, unit II), the increase in rainfall, along with the rapid rise in sea level, was likely caused the high amount of clastic materials transported to the upper part of the beach. As a result of comparing clay mineral ratios of study site with those derived from sediments of either tidal flats, or the Yellow Sea, it is interpreted that the sediments of study site were influenced from the marine. The results will be used to investigate the hydrological activity and sedimentary environment during the high sea level in the past.

Arginine decarboxylase (ADC) is the first enzyme in one of the two pathways of diamine putrescine biosynthesis in plants. The genes encoding ADC have previously been cloned from Escherichia coli, oat and tomato genome. Two degenerate oligonucleotides (17-mer) corresponding to two conserved regions of ADC were used as primers in polymerase chain reaction of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genomic DNA, and an approximately 1.0 kbp fragment was obtained. This amplified PCR product showed an open reading frame which contains 1,022 bp of nucleotide sequences. This PCR product was cloned into pGEM-originated T vector and the short 500 bp PstI digested fragment was subcloned into pGEM-3zf(+/-) vectors to facilitate sequencing. The nucleotide sequence of this PCR product showed about 74% and 70% identity with the same regions of the oat and tomato ADC cDNA sequences, respectively. The predicted amino acid sequence exhibited 45% and 62% identity with oat and tomato ADC polypeptide fragments, respectively. The sequence similarities of 34%, 47% and 38% were previously reported in oat and E. coli, tomato and oat, and tomato and E. coli ADC amino acids, respectively. Therefore, similarities and identities between rice and oat or tomato are remarkably higher than those others of the previous reports. In the highly conserved regions in both the amino acid sequence and spacing regions among the sequences of these three, rice ADC open reading frame also has the exactly same regions with the striking similarity. RNA blot analysis showed that hnc is expressed as a transcript of approximately 2.5 kbP in the rice seedling leaf tissues.

The research of climate change impact in hydrometeorology often relies on climate change information. In this paper, neural networks models such as generalized regression neural networks model (GRNNM) and multilayer perceptron neural networks model (MLP-NNM) are proposed statistical downscaling of the daily precipitation. The input nodes of neural networks models consist of the atmospheric meteorology and the atmospheric pressure data for 4 grid points including $127.5^{\circ}E/37.5^{\circ}N$, $127.5^{\circ}E/35^{\circ}N$, $125^{\circ}E/37.5^{\circ}N$ and $125^{\circ}E/35^{\circ}N$, respectively. The output node of neural networks models consist of the daily precipitation data for Seoul station. For the performances of the neural networks models, they are composed of training and test performances, respectively. From this research, we evaluate the impact of GRNNM and MLP-NNM performances for the downscaling of the daily precipitation data. We should, therefore, construct the credible daily precipitation data for Seoul station using statistical downscaling method. The proposed methods can be applied to future climate prediction/projection using the various climate change scenarios such as GCMs and RCMs.

West Java 지역에 위치한 인도네시아 Citarum 강 유역은 자국의 효율적인 수자원관리를 위하여 매우 중요한 요충지에 해당하며 최근 통합수자원관리 프로젝트(ICWRMP)를 통하여 활발한 투자와 개발이 행해지고 있는 곳이다. West Tarum Canal은 Jatiluhur 댐 하류단에 위치하여 자카르타시의 생공용수를 공급을 담당하고 있으며 저수지 방류수와 더불어 Cibeet 강, 그리고 Cikarang 및 Bekasi 강이 차례로 유입되면서 부족한 용수를 충당하게 된다. 건설초기에는 풍부한 수량과 양호한 수질을 확보하여 효율적인 용수공급이 이루어졌으나 주변지역 산업개발에 따른 인구 및 오염원 증가, 주민들의 무분별한 취수로 말미암아 이 지역의 수질악화가 날로 심각해지는 상황이다. 특히 Bekasi강은 도심부를 포함하고 있어 이 지역으로부터 배출되는 오염물질의 영향이 WTC의 수질에 가장 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 수질모의는 Qual2E-Plus 모형을 이용하여 수행하였으며 이를 기반으로 시나리오를 구성, 오염정도가 심각한 Cikarang 강과 Bekasi강에 사이폰 시설을 도입 현재 운영중인 Weir 시설을 대체함으로써 얻을 수 있는 수질개선효과를 검토한 결과 Bekasi 강의 경우 10%, Cikarang 및 Bekasi강에 동시에 도입하였을 경우 12%의 수질 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 오염부하량이 가장 높은 Bekasi강 유역에 환경기초 시설을 도입함으로써 기대할 수 있는 수질개선효과는 처리시설의 효율에 따라 16% 에서 최고 48%에 달하는 것으로 분석되었다.

집중호우로 인한 도시 내수배제 능력의 부족으로 월류가 발생하거나 하천의 제방붕괴, 통수능의 부족 등으로 인하여 범람이 발생하는 경우, 재해 예방차원에서 가장 근본적인 것은 침수의 양상을 파악할 수 있어야 한다. 즉, 어느 지역까지 침수지역이 확장될 것인가, 얼마나 빠르게 범람된 흐름이 흘러갈 것인가, 그리고 언제 홍수위가 감소할 것인가를 파악하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 국내 도시지역 지형특성에 적합한 침수예측 모형의 개발이 필요하며, 이를 이용하여 다양한 범람 조건을 좀 더 합리적으로 모의할 수 있게 된다. 또한 물리적인 모형과의 비교를 통해 매우 복잡한 지형을 가진 도시침수계산 등이 이루어질 수 있으며, 침수구역에 대한 적절한 예 경보 및 피난대책의 수립이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 DEM 기반 침수해석 모형에서 계산시간이 오래 걸린다는 단점을 보완하기 위해 Sub-Grid를 적용한 침수해석 모형을 개발하였다. 하나의 격자는 $e_1$, $e_2$, $e_3$, $e_4$의 표고를 가지는 4개의 보조격자로 구성하였다. $25m{\times}25m$의 Sub-Grid를 갖는 $50m{\times}50m$의 격자에 대한 침수해석 결과와 Sub-Grid가 없이 $25m{\times}25m$ 및 $50m{\times}50m$ 격자로 구성된 대상유역에 대한 침수해석 결과를 비교하였다.

The correlation between osteoporosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress was investigated. Thus, interest in food and plants with antioxidant effects that can reduce damage caused by ROS during bone metabolism is heightening. In this study, the antioxidant effect of Taraxacum mongolicum on proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells under H2O2-induced oxidative stress was studied to investigate its protective effect against oxidative stress and its availability as an antioxidant material related to bone diseases. As a result, total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents of T. mongolicum were 33.65 mg/g and 4.45 mg/g, respectively. The T. mongolicum extract increased proliferation of both MC3T3-E1 cells and differentiated osteoblasts under $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress conditions. In addition, two differentiation markers, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization level in the T. mongolicum extract, tended to increase. These results indicate that T. mongolicum extract suppressed the damage to osteoblasts under oxidative stress and that it is potential antioxidant materials for preventing bone diseases.
