Lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy occurring during spinal surgery is frequently related to iliac bone graft harvesting, but meralgia paresthetica (MP) can result from the patient being in the prone position. Prone position-related MP is not an uncommon complication after posterior spine surgery but there are only few reports in the literature on this subject. It is usually overlooked because of its mild symptoms and self-limiting course, or patients and physicians may misunderstand the persistence of lower extremity symptoms in the early postoperative period to be a reflection of poor surgical outcome. The authors report a case of prone position-related MP after posterior lumbar interbody fusion at the L3-4 and reviewed the literature with discussion on the incidence, pathogenesis, and possible risk factors related to this entity.

In this paper, a stage-structured predator-prey system with impulsive perturbations and time delays is presented to investigate the ecological problem of how a pest population and natural enemy population can coexist. Sufficient conditions are obtained using a discrete dynamical system determined by a stroboscopic map, which guarantee that a 'predator-extinction' periodic solution is globally attractive. When the impulsive period is longer than some time threshold or the impulsive harvesting rate is below a control threshold, the system is permanent. Our results provide some reasonable suggestions for pest management.

Anthracnose symptoms often occurred on fruits of Asian pear trees grown in Anseong, Naju, Seonghwan and Pyeongtaek in Korea during the harvesting period from 2000 to 2005. A total of 28 isolates of Colletotrichum sp. were obtained from the anthracnose symptoms. All the isolates were identified as Colletotrichum acutatum based on their morphological and cultural characteristics. Four isolates of the fungus were tested for pathogenicity to fruits of Asian pear tree by artificial inoculation. All the isolates induced anthracnose symptoms on the fruits by wound inoculation but not by unwound inoculation. The anthracnose symptoms induced by artificial inoculation were similar to those observed in the orchard. This is the first report of anthracnose of Asian pear tree caused by Colletotrichum acutatum.

Owing to miniaturization and low-power electronics, mobile, implanted, and wearable devices have become the main trends of electronics during the past decade. There has been much research regarding energy harvesting to achieve battery-free or self-powered devices. The optimal design problems of a double-pendulum kinetic-energy harvester from human motion are studied in this paper. For the given form factor, the weight of the harvester, and the known human excitation, the optimal design problem is solved using a dynamic non-linear double-pendulum model and an electric generator. The average electrical power was selected as the performance index for the given time period. A double-pendulum harvester was proven to be more efficient than a single-pendulum harvester when the appropriate parameters were used.

Purpose : To investigate the complication of donor site in latissimus dorsi muscle flap. Materials and Methods : From April 1983 to March 1999, forty patients with latissimus dorsi muscle flap for reconstruction of extremity and with a follow-up period of more than 12 months were included. We analysed the complication, shoulder function, degree of shoulder muscle weakness, skin scar width after operation. Results After 1 year, skin scar widening in 12 cases(30%), limitation of shoulder motion in 9 cases(12.5%), muscle weakness in 14 cases(17.5%) were found. Conclusion. The rate of complication at donor site after latissimus dorsi flap operation is around 10%. To minimize the complication, avoiding axillary skin incision, minimal invasive harvesting by endoscopy, meticulous suturing of subcutaneous layer are needed.

Anthracnose fruit rot (AFR) has been observed in greenhouses during the harvesting period in the Chungnam Province of South Korea. Fruits infected inside the greenhouse show black or brown spots, orange conidial masses and in some areas of the infected parts, white fungal growths are visible. The size of these spots gradually expands, leading to the necrosis of the fruits and flowers. Three isolates were obtained from infected fruits and identified as strains of the Colletotrichum acutatum species complex based on morphological characteristics. Multilocus sequence analysis of actin, chitin synthase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase genes, and internal transcribed spacer rDNA regions revealed that the isolates belong to a monophyletic group with the type strain of C. nymphaeae. This is the first time C. nymphaeae has been confirmed in strawberry fruit in Korea.

Purpose: This study investigated the harvesting properties of the giant miscanthus (Miscanthus ${\times}$ giganteus) to measure the required mowing power for different stem conditioning methods in order to shorten the drying time after mowing and the bale density so that the crop can be used as biomass in the winter season. Methods: The required mowing power and bale density were measured using a power measurement device, three different mower-conditioners, and a mid-sized round baler under different working speeds and conditioning methods. Results: For the various mower-conditioners, the average stem length from mowing was 0.86-0.91 m, and the available working speed was 1.6 m/s. The steel roller-type mower-conditioner showed better stem conditioning but could not mow over a working speed of 1.6 m/s. The required average power of the mower-conditioners varied from 23.8 kW for the steel roller-type rotary disk mower-conditioner with a working width of 2.4 m to 37.2 kW for the flail-type rotary disk mower-conditioner with a working width of 3.2 m at a working speed of 1.6 m/s. The bale densities were $155.8-172.2kg/m^3$. The highest bale density was measured for stems with no conditioning and a moisture content of 11.3% (d.b.) mowed by the rotary disk mower. The bale density was affected by the mowing method because of the low moisture content of the miscanthus stems. Conclusions: In terms of the working performance and conditioning statue, the steel roller-type mower-conditioner is a better choice at a working width of 2.4 m, while the flail finger-type mower-conditioner is better at a working width of 3.2 m. The type of mower-conditioner used for giant miscanthus harvesting should be determined by considering the harvest area, workable period, and working performance of a mower-conditioner and baler during the winter.

관행재배구의 유기질 비료의 시용이 배 과실 품질에 미치는 영향 1970년대부터 소비자의 선호도가 높은 신고 품종 재배가 급증하기 시작하였고, 2002년 현재 전체 배 재배면적의 70%를 차지하고 있다. 추석이 빠를 경우 성숙이 덜된 과일을 수확하여 시장에 출하함으로서 품질이 좋지 않은 과일로 인하여 소비가 둔화되고 가격이 떨어져 동양배를 재배하고 있는 농가의 수입을 감소시키는 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 따라서 본 실험은 미생물이 들어있는 유기질비료(compost)를 이용하여 추석에 조기 출하되는 신고배의 품질을 향상 시킬 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 2년 동안의 compost 처리가 과일에 미치는 영향은 색차계를 이용하여 측정한 결과 Hunter L값과 a값이 높은 경향을 보여 사람의 눈으로 보기에 더 익은 것처럼 보였고, 더 당도가 상승하고 산도가 낮아지는 경향을 보여 과실의 조기성숙이 이루어지고 있다고 판단하였다. 특히, 유기질 비료는 과실내 석세포 함량을 줄였고 칼슘함량을 높여서, 과실의 육질을 부드럽게 개선시킴으로써, 조기 출하되는 과실의 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법으로 제안될 수 있다.

건강 기능성 농산물로 주목을 받고 있는 검정콩의 isoflavone과 soyasaponin ${\alpha}g$와 ${\beta}g$의 축적 추이를 검토하였다. 또한 이들 항산화 성분을 고함유한 고 기능성 검정콩 생산을 위한 재배기술 확립에 기여하고자 하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 검정콩의 등숙기간 중 항산화 성분인 isoflavone과 soyasaponin ${\alpha}g$와 ${\beta}g$의 함량은 대체로 수확기$(R_8)\;6{\sim}7$일전에 가장 높았다. 이는 고항산화 콩을 생산하려면 수량 중심의 수확시기보다 $3{\sim}7$일 정도 빨라야 함을 의미한다. 2. 검정콩 종실의 등숙기간 중 총 isoflavone 함량은 일품 검정콩은 개화 후 61일, 흑청콩은 개화 후 77일에 가장 높았다. 검정콩 종실의 soyasaponin ${\alpha}g$와 ${\beta}g$의 함량은 일품 검정콩은 개화 후 61일에, 흑청콩은 개화 후 71일에 가장 높았다. 3. 검정콩 잎의 등숙기간 중 총 isoflavone함량은 일품검정콩과 흑청콩 모두 개화 후 55일에 가장 높았다. 검정콩 잎의 soyasaponin ${\alpha}g$의 함량은 일품검정콩은 개화 후 $18{\sim}41$일, 흑청콩은 개화 후 $55{\sim}71$일에 높았다. 4. 검정콩 잎의 생리활성 성분 함량이 높은 것으로 보아 이를 신소재 기능성 농산물로 활용 및 개발할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다. 검정콩 잎을 신소재 기능성 농산물로 활용하기 위한 수확적기는 종실비대가 완료되는 생리적성숙기($R_7$)이었다.
