Yacon(Polymina sonchifolia POEPP), an indigenous Andean natural resource food plant, was imported as a new root crop from New Zealand in 1986. However the chemical composition and planting system of it have not been research in Korea. The experimental results for the optimum planting densities and mulching effect are as follows. Height of the main stem of yacon was grown linear from July to October, is showed more fast growth as density increased, and showed highest in 70 ${\times}$ 55cm density. The tiller was bubed 3 month after planting but there was no significant difference among mulching, non-mulching condition and planting density. The fresh weight of root of mulching condition was heavier than that in non-mulching condition and 70 ${\times}$ 40cm mulching condition. In mulching treatment, number of roots in dense planting were more than that in sparse planting. The effect of mulching was not shown significantly in root diameter and root length.

A numerical study was conducted on the optimum magnetic field intensity and asymmetric factor for uniform axial oxygen concentration in 8 inch silicon single crystal growing process by magnetic Czochralski method. For constant shape of cusp field, a change of coil and crucible position were compared. In case of symmetric cusp field, magnetic field intensity variation shows concave downward with crystal growing for uniform, axial oxygen concentration. A numerical results show similar value of standard deviation of average oxygen concentration for uniform oxygen concentration between coil and crucible position change. In case of asymmetric cusp field. asymmetric factor is increased with crystal growing to have uniform oxygen concentration.

The purpose of this study is to find out optimum conditions for zinc crystalline glaze under variables of firing: maximum firing temperature, crystal growth temperature, temperature increasing speed, annealing speed, holding time at maximum temperature and holding time at crystal growth temperature. Ferro Frit3110, ZnO and Quartz were used as starting materials and tested by three component system. The best result of test was selected and extended to its vicinity as five glaze formulas. And then the specimens were experimented by variable firing conditions and analyzed by crystal appearance observation, XRD, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. In result, main crystal was willemite in the zinc glazes. Some gahnite was detected in specimens which were fired at $1230^{\circ}C$, $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1270^{\circ}C$, however gahnite was not identified at $1300^{\circ}C$. Optimum zinc crystalline glaze was gained by following firing condition: temperature increasing speed $5^{\circ}C$/min, holding 1 h at $1270^{\circ}C$, annealing speed $3^{\circ}C$/min till $1170^{\circ}C$, holding 2 h at $1170^{\circ}C$ then naturally annealed.

With the population growth and industrialization, the characteristics of discharged waste water and sewage have become more diverse. The removal of phosphorus (P) in the wastewater is essential for the prevention of eutrophication in the river and stream. This study was performed in order to estimate the field application of the Bacillus sp. 3434 BRRJ. Bacillus sp. 3434 BRRJ was cultured in the raw wastewater and synthetic medium at the 5 L reactor. The best optimum conditions for P removal by Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ in the synthetic medium at the 5 L reactor were as follows: temperature, $30^{\circ}C$; P concentration, 20 mg/L; carbon sources, glucose + acetate (1:1); oxygen concentration, alternatively anaerobic and aerobic conditions. P removal efficiency under the optimum condition was 89.4%. In case of wastewater, P removal efficiency was 95.5% under controlled at $30^{\circ}C$. Through this study we confirmed that P removal by Bacillus sp. 3434BRRJ in case of wastewater was as effective as the synthetic medium. It is considered that Bacillus sp. 3434 BRRJ can be applied to the treatment of wastewater in order to biologically remove P from the wastewater on a large scale.

Phellinus genus belonged to Hymenochaetaceae of Basidiomycetes and has been well known as one of the most popular medicinal mushrooms due to high antitumor activity. This study was carried out to obtain the basic information for mycelial culture conditions of Phellinus linteus, P. baumii, and P. gilvus. According to colony diameter and mycelial density, the media for suitable mycelial growth of them were shown in MEA, glucose peptone, and MCM. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $30^{\circ}C$. Carbon and nitrogen sources were man nose and malt extract, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was 10:1 to 5:1 with 2% glucose concentration, vitamin was thiamine-HCl, organic acid was succinic acid, and mineral salt was $MgSO_{4}{\cdot}7H_{2}O$.

This studies were carried out to investigate the optimum shading for seedling cultivation of Cornus controversa and C. walteri. The experiment was performed under five different shading scheme such as 100%, 50%, 30%, 10%, and 2% of the natural full sun light intensity for 7 months in the field condition. Two species showed the highest height growth under 50% of relative light intensity, and the highest diameter growth at root collar was observed both under 100% and 50% of relative light intensity. C. controversa seedlings grown under 50% of relative light intensity produced more total biomass than control seedlings, but root biomass was less in the seedlings under 50% of relative light intensity. In case of C. walteri, total biomass production of the seedlings under 50% of relative light intensity was lower than that of the seedlings under full sun light intensity, but leaves and shoot biomass was slightly high under 50% of relative light intensity. Great reductions of height growth and diameter growth at root collar, and biomass production were observed below 30% of relative light intensity in the both species. T/R ratio of the two species was highest under 30% of relative light intensity, and the chlorophyll content of the seedlings tended to be increased by reduction of relative light intensity.

The main objectives of this research were to study the cultural and nutritional characteristics of Tricholoma matsutake and to establish its liquid culture system. The optimum growth of T. matsutake was observed in HA and TMM agar media. Similarly highest growth was observed in PDB and TMM liquid media. The optimal temperature for the mycelial growth was $25^{\circ}C$. The most suitable carbon source was dextrin among 12 different carbon sources tested. Yeast extract and peptone were best nitrogen sources among 17 different sources tested. The optimum mineral salts were $Fe_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}{\cdot}H_{2}O$ and KCl among 9 different sources tested. Shaking culture gave higher mycelial growth compared to stationary culture. Similarly, optimum medium amount for shaking culture was 100 ml per 250 ml flask. The highest mycelial growth was obtained when $5{\sim}7$ mycelial discs were inoculated in 100 ml of medium and incubated for $8{\sim}9$ weeks, respectively. The highest proportion of mycelial growth was observed at 40 : 1 ratio of medium to inoculum volume in 8 l air-lift fermenter.

The growth conditions of Pantoea aggicmerans, a phosphate solubilizing organism, were studied In our laboratory to determine the optimal conditions. Pantoea aggionerans showed the highest growth rate at 30$\^{C}$, pH 7.0 and 2 vvm, after 50 h cultivation. A certain relationship between pH and phosphate concentration was evident when the glucose concentration in the me dium was changed. Increasing glucose concentration increased the pH buffer action of the broth. At glucose concentrations higher than the optimum concentration of 0.2 M, the cell growth was retarded. P. agglomerans consumed glucose as a substrate to produce organic acids which caused the pH decrease in the culture medium. The phosphate concentration in the medium was increased by the presence of the organic acids, which solubilized insoluble phosphates such as hydroxyapa-tite.

Hot filament-assisted CVD was carried out to deposit diamond films on Si(100) substrate at 90$0^{\circ}C$ using a 1% CH4-H2 mixture gas. Deposition was made at various conditions of mass flow rate of the feed gas (30~1000 sccm), pressure (2.5~300 Torr), and filament-substrate distance (4~15 mm), and the deposited films were characterized by SEM, XRD, and Raman spectroscopy. As the flow rate increases, the growth rate also increased but the crystallinity of the film was degraded. A longer filament-substrate distance simply caused both the growth rate and the crystallinity to become poorer. On the other hand, the pressure variation resulted in a maximum growth rate of 2.6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/hr at 10 Torr and the best film quality around 50 Torr, exhibiting an optimum condition. The observed trends were interpreted in terms of the flow velocity-dependent pyrolysis reaction efficiency and mass transport through the boundary layer.

Mycelial growth of L. edodes by supplement nutrition of softwood was studied on a sawdust medium. The sawdust used was from the following softwood species : Larix leptolepis, Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis. The added nutritions consisted of carbon nutritions(sucrose, active carbon, xylose, glucose, paper pellet), nitrogen nutritions(potassium nitrate, ammonium chloride, asparagine, glutamic acid) and vegetable oil(rice bran oil). The sawdust medium was a mixture of 76% sawdust, 20% rice bran, 3% carbon nutrition, 0.4% nitrogen nutrition and 0.6% calcium carbonate. Following addition of carbon and nitrogen nutritions on the sawdust medium proved most suitable : L. leptolepis (glucose, glutamic acid), P. densiflora (active carbon, asparagine) and P. koraiensis (xylose, glutamic acid). The highest mycelial growth was obtained from sawdust medium of optimum condition with 97% of L. leptolepis, 110% of P. densiflora and 98% of P. koraiensis. This study has provided useful preliminary information for the cultivation of L. edodes.
