In days to calyx-flex stage test, flower development affected by light intensity, light duration and the prevailing temperature. As, 'Jacaranda' variety shorter in under 46 days of flower bud formation and 13 days of calyx-flex stage than the other variety with 'Queen Elizabeth' control variety. About cut flower only 'Grand Vicki Brown' (as within 46 days of flower formation, 13 days of calyx stage and 'Jacaranda', both with shorter plants than the other varieties produced cut flower classified as short and medium-stemmed cut flowers. 'Jacaranda', 'Vicki Brown', 'Golden Times', 'Champagne', 'Osiana', and 'Queen Elizabeth (control variety)' flowered earlier from 46.7 to 50.8 days from pruning. Flower development was likewise faster in all the above mentioned cultivars; while 'Tineke' had significantly delayed flower development reaching calyx-flex stage from 0.5 cm bud size after 51.0 days. The top ten high yielding varieties were 'American Orange', with a net income of P3,081,676.00; 'Yellow Island' with P1,572,874.00; 'Frosty Pink' with P1,085,183.00; 'Champagne' with P980,620.00; 'Coral Pink' with P959,669.00; 'Lara Pink' with P918,444.00; 'Lara Orange' with P714,252.00; 'Grand Gala' with P705,787.00; 'Golden Times' with P806,489.00; and 'Lady X' with P778,060.00 net returns.

This study was evaluated about the seasonal variations of ecosystem in Nammae Reservoir based on the interrelation of physico-chemical characteristics, nutrients, chlorophyll a, b, c and standing crops of phytoplanktons. The amounts of chlorophyll a, b, c were respectively maximum (295 mg/, 9.5mg/l and 48mg/l) at station 1 in June and the standing crop of phytoplanktons was the highest ($1.7{\time}10^5$ cells/1) at stations 3 in July. The range of temperature was $7{\sim}37.4^{\circ}C$. The maxium of pH was $9.9{\sim}10.1$ at all stations in August, the minimum was 7 in September. SS was maximum (308 mg/1) at station 1 in June, while it was minimum (4 mg/l) at the same station in November. The maximal COD and DOC were 33 mg/1 and 16 mg/1 respectively at station 1 in June. As for phytoplanktons, Microcystis aeruginosa, blue-green alga in July${\sim}$August, Scenedesmus acutus, green alga in March${\sim}$May and November${\sim}$January and Cyclotella orientalis, Diatoms in October were dominant species. The amounts of P and Si were generally high in summer, they were low in autumn and winter. Nammae Reservoir assessed by trophic state index was eutrophicated and overtrophicated. These results indicated that Nammae Reservoir was faced with heavy water pollution. As preceding management for the basin of the Reservoir, it will have to be continually studied for an ecosystem reservation.

Bromotrifluoromethane(halon-1301) and bromochlorodifluoromethane(halon-1211) have been widely used as a clean fire extinguishing agents due to their outstanding properties. However, production and use of halon are currently being phased out under an international agreements Montreal Protocol because of global environmental concerns and HFCs have been considered as promising alter-natives for the replacement of halon since their ozone depletion potentials are low. The vapor-liquid equilibrium data are required as important basic information in evaluating the solubility of clean fire extinguishing agents and determining their optimal compositions. In this work, we chose HFCs such as HFC-22 HFC-125, and HFC-l34a for gaseous fire extinguishing agents and nitrogen as a pressurization gas for a proper jet velocity of these agents. Phase equilibria for binary mixtures of nitrogen/HFC-22, nitrogen/HFC-125, and nitrogen/HFC-l34a were measured in the temperature range from 283.15K to 303.15K. For equilibrium measurement, we used a circulation type apparatus in which both vapor and liquid phases were continuously recirculated. The experimental data were relatively well correlated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state with Wong-Sandier mixing rules.

[ $^7Li$ ]Magic Angle Spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the lithium local environments in $Li_4P_2O_7$ and$LiFePO_4$ materials. The purpose of this study was to know the structure of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) in lithium ion cells composed of $LiFePO_4$ as cathode material. $Li_4P_2O_7$ and $LiFePO_4$ were prepared by a solid-state reaction. The $^7Li$ MAS NMR experiments were carried out at variable temperatures in order to observe the local structure changes at the temperatures in $Li_4P_2O_7$ system. The $^7Li$ MAS NMR spectra of in $Li_4P_2O_7$ indicate that the lithium local environments in $Li_4P_2O_7$ were not changed in the temperature range between $27^{\circ}C$ and $97^{\circ}C$ Through this work, we confirmed that the small amount of $Li_4P_2O_7$ less than 5.0 wt% in $LiFePO_4$ could be clearly measured by the $^7Li$ MAS NMR spectroscopy at high spinning rate over than 11 kHz.

An optimization for fermentation processes to make lactic acid juice with extracts from apples, carrots, celery, watercress, jujube and lycii (3 : 3 : 1 : 1/2 : 1 : 1/2) using co-cultures of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis and Lactobacillus cellobiosus isolated from Dongchimi had been investigated on the emphasis of composition of sugars and sodium chloride at various temperatures. The concentration of sugars less than 25% and salt less than 0.8% did not affect remarkably the cell growth of lactic acid bacteria and acid formation during fermentation. The fermenting juice showed increases in the population of lactic acid bacteria and acidity, and decreases in population of coliform bacteria and sugar concentration with high cultural temperature. At $25^{\circ}C$ viscous substance was not formed as it had at $15^{\circ}C$. The optimum composition, based on the sensory evaluation, was determined to be oligosaccharide and 0.2% for sodium chloride. It took 3 days to produce the most preferable juice of pH 3.62 at $25^{\circ}C$. At the optimal state the fermented juice showed viable cell counts (cfu/mL) of exponential numbers 8 for lactic acid bacteria and 4 for yeast. Coliform bacteria which had been $5.6{\times}10^2\;cfu/mL$ at the beginning of fermentation were not detected.

[ $ZnCr_2O_4$ ] shows geometrically frustrated magnet. Recently, $CoCr_2O_4$ has been investigated for multiferroic property and dielectric anomalies by spin-current model. Polycrystalline $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ compounds was prepared by wet-chemical process. Crystallographic and magnetic properties of $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ were investigate by using the x-ray diffractometer(XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM), superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer(SQUID), and $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The crystal structure was found to be single-phase cubic spinel with space group of Fd3m. The lattice constants of $CoCr_2O_4$ and $CoCrFeO_4$ $a_0$ were determined to be 8.340 and 8.377 ${\AA}$, respectively. The ferrimagnetic transition temperature for the both samples were observed at 97 K and 320 K. The $M\"{o}ssbauer$ absorption spectra at 4.2 K show that the well developed two sextets are superposed with small difference of hyperfine field($H_{hf1}=507\;and\;H_{hf2}=492\;kOe$). Isomer shift values($\delta$) of the two sextets are found to be 0.33 and 0.34 mm/s relative to the Fe metal, respectively, which are consistent with the high spin $Fe^{3+}$ charge state.

For me1t-spun Fe-Nd-C alloys, variation of phase development and magnetic properties with the variety of alloy compositions and production conditions were investigated. To find out whether hard magnetic $Fe_{14}Nd_2C$ is crystallized direct1y from the melt by rapid quenching, the phase development of the as-spun ribbons spun at various speed was a1so studied. For the ribbons spun at 10m/s, ${\alpha}-Fe$ was the primary crystallization phase followed by the secondary $Fe_{17}Nd_2C$. At 20m/s ${\alpha}-Fe$ was suppressed so that the primary $Fe_{17}Nd_2C$ coexisted with the secondary ${\alpha}-Fe$ and the amorphous phase. Above 30m/s the ribbons were a1most amorphous, and the amorphization was complete at 40m/s. $Fe_{14}Nd_2C$ therefore was not found in as-spun state but obtained after heat treating the ribbons. The effective temperature range ($700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$) in which $Fe_{14}Nd_2C$ can be obtained was wider than that of a cast alloy. An alloy made with the wheel speed of 20 or 30m/s yielded higher coercivities after heat treatment. In iron-rich Fe-Nd-C, the composition range in which a high coercivity (more than 10kOe) is expected is narrow, i.e., 77~78 Fe and 7~8 C(at.%).

The Korean Peninsula is considered as a seasonal frozen area that is thawed in the spring and frozen in the winter. The influence of fines of the frost susceptibility of subgrade soils were established by laboratory freezing tests simulating closely the thermal conditions in the field. During the winter season, the climate is heavily influenced by the cold and dry continental high pressure. Because of siberian air mass, the temperature of January is $-6{\sim}-7^{\circ}C$ on average. This chilly weather generate the frost heaving by freezing the moisture of soil and damage potential of the geotechnical structure. In the freezing soil, the ice lenses increase the freeze portion of soil by absorbing the ground water with capillary action. However, the capillary characteristics differ from the sort of soil on the state of freezing condition. In this study, ten soil samples are prepared. The basic physical property tests were performed by following the Korean Industrial Standard and the soil specimens were classified by the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). These classified soils are used to perform the laboratory opened systems freezing test in order to determine the frost heaving characteristics of soils such as unfrozen water content, heaving amount, and freezing depth.

Such fruits as nut persimmons, mandarin oranges and apples stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber at 5$^{\circ}C$ under 90% of relative humidity had been maintained in the fresh state for longer times than the control stored only in the cold chamber. Fruits stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber showed lower values in weight loss rate, microbial colony count and decay ratio and higher ascorbic acid content than the control stored only in the told room through the storage period. We confirmed that fruits stored in the far-infrared radiated chamber under low temperature and high humidity showed least changes in quality properties through the storage period and the far-infrared radiated facilities could be a good storage system.
