The experimental study of the behavior of dry medium and loose sandy soil under the action of a single impulsive load is carried out. Different falling masses from different heights were conducted using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to provide the single pulse energy. The responses of soils were evaluated at different locations (vertically below the impact plate and horizontally away from it). These responses include; displacements, velocities, and accelerations that are developed due to the impact acting at top and different depth ratios within the soil using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) and accelerometers (ARH-500A Waterproof, and Low capacity Acceleration Transducer) that are embedded in the soil and then recorded using the multi-recorder TMR-200. The behavior of medium and loose sandy soil was evaluated with different parameters, these are; footing embedment, depth ratios (D/B), diameter of the impact plate (B), and the applied energy. It was found that increasing footing embedment depth results in: amplitude of the force-time history increases by about 10-30%. due to increase in the degree of confinement with the increasing in the embedment, the displacement response of the soil will decrease by about 25-35% for loose sand, 35-40% for medium sand due to increase in the overburden pressure when the embedment depth increased. For surface foundation, the foundation is free to oscillate in vertical, horizontal and rocking modes. But, when embedding a footing, the surrounding soil restricts oscillation due to confinement which leads to increasing the natural frequency, moreover, soil density increases with depth because of compaction, that is, tendency to behave as a solid medium.

An efficient somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration protocol was developed for Schisandra chinensis Baill, using embryogenic cell suspensions and optimized media conditions. Friable embryogenic callus was induced from cotyledonary leaf and hypocotyl explants of 7 days old seedlings on MS agar medium supplemented with 1.0 to $4.0\;mg\;l^{-1}$ of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Fast growing and well dispersed embryogenic cell suspensions were developed within two months when embryogenic calli were transferred to MS liquid medium containing $1.0\;mg\;l^{-1}\;2,4-D$. One third strength of MS medium was the best for both overall growth and development of somatic embryos in liquid culture. Over 3400 viable somatic embryos were produced from each 150 ml flask with an initial cell density of 30 mg in 30 ml medium. Germinated somatic embryos developed in liquid medium converted into plantlets after transferred to half-strength MS semi-solid medium. Approximately 90% of the converted plantlets were successfully transplanted to soil and grew into fertile plants.

This work was carried out to establish adventitious root culture system in three Panax species (wild-grown P. ginseng, P. quinquefolium, and P. japonicum) to analyze their ginsenoside productivity. Adventitious roots were induced directly from segments of seedlings after cultured on MS(Murashige andSkoog 1962) solid medium containing 3.0 mg/l IBA. Omission of $NH_4NO_3$ from the medium greatly enhanced both the frequency of adventitious root formation and number of roots per explants in all the three Panax species. However, elongation of post-induced adventitious roots was enhanced on medium with $NH_4NO_3$. Two-step culture protocol: $NH_4NO_3$-free medium for first two weeks of culture, followed by $NH_4NO_3$ containing medium for further 4 weeks, greatly enhanced the fresh weight increase of adventitious roots in all the three ginseng species. The fresh weight of adventitious roots was high in P. quinquefolium and low in P. ginseng, followed by P. japonioum regardless of the composition of medium. Pattern and content of ginsenosides in adventitious roots differed among the three Panax species. Total ginsenoside content of adventitious roots in P. quinquefolium, P. ginseng, and p. japonicum was 8.03, 15.7 and 1.2 mg/g dry weight, respectively. Among the three speices, adventitious roots in P. quinquefolium produced hig-hamount of ginsenosides. The pattern of ginsenoside fractions between P. ginseng and P. quinquefolium was similar but the amount of ginsenoside differed between the two, While, in P japonicum, total ginsenoside content was very low and some ginsenosides such as ginsenoside Rb2 and Rf were not detected. Conclusively, we demonstrate that same culture condition was required for induction and elongation of adventitious roots of three ginseng species but growth of adventitious roots and their ginsenoside production were different among them.

A new synthesis route for Pt nanoparticles by direct electrochemical reduction of a solid-state Pt ion precursor ($K_2PtCl_6$) is demonstrated. Solid $K_2PtCl_6$-supported polyethyleneimine (PEI) coatings on the surface of glassy carbon electrode were prepared by simple mixing of solid $K_2PtCl_6$ into a 1.0% PEI solution. The potential cycling or a constant potential in a PBS (pH 7.4) medium were applied to reduce the solid $K_2PtCl_6$ precursor. The reduction of Pt(IV) began at around -0.2 V and the reduction potential was ca. -0.4 V. A steady state current was achieved after 10 potential cycling scans, indicating that continuous formation of Pt nanoparticles by electrochemical reduction occurred for up to 10 cycles. After applying the reduction potential of -0.6 V for 300 s, Pt nanoparticles with diameters ranging from $0.02-0.5{\mu}m$ were observed, with an even distribution over the entire glassy carbon electrode surface. Characteristics of the Pt nanoparticles, including their performance in electrochemical reduction of $H_2O_2$ are examined. A distinct reduction peak observed at about -0.20 V was due to the electrocatalytic reduction of $H_2O_2$ by Pt nanoparticles. From the calibration plot, the linear range for $H_2O_2$ detection was 0.1-2.0 mM and the detection limit for $H_2O_2$ was found to be 0.05 mM.

방사성 폐기물 최종 매립장이 완공됨으로써 그동안 원자력 발전소 내에서 관리하고 있던 중 저준위 방사성 폐기물은 최종 처분장으로 이송하여 관리해야 한다. 주로 액상의 이온교환수지로 구성된 중 저준위 방사성 폐기물은 플라스틱 또는 강제용기 안에서 시멘트계 재료로 고화처리 되고 있다. 시멘트계 재료는 취성적이므로 이송 중 낙하, 충돌 등에 의해 붕괴될 경우, 방사성 물질이 유출될 수 있는 가능성이 있다. 안전성이 있는 이송장비를 설계하기 위해서는 현재의 고화체가 어느 정도의 강도를 발현하고 있는지를 확인할 필요가 있다. 그러나 방사성 물질을 포함하고 있는 폐기물의 강도를 직접법에 의해 측정하는 것은 위험하므로 불가능하기 때문에 동탄성계수와 같은 비파괴시험을 통해 간접적으로 강도를 파악하여야 한다. 따라서 방사성 폐기물의 압축강도와 동탄성계수의 관계를 규명할 필요가 있다. 폐기할 시점에서 이온교환수지 처리용 고화체의 압축강도는 3.44 MPa (500 psi)이다. 이론적으로 시멘트는 시간의 경과에 따라서 강도가 증진되기 때문에 폐기된 후 수년에서 수십년이 경과한 현 시점에서 고화체의 강도는 기준치를 크게 상회할 가능성이 있다. 이와 같은 배경에서 이 연구에서는 중 저준위 방사성 폐기물 처리용시멘트 고화체의 재료구성을 유지하면서 3~30 MPa 범위의 다양한 강도 수준을 갖는 시멘트 고화체를 제조하고 이를 대상으로 압축강도와 동탄성계수의 관계를 도출하고자 하였다. 실험 결과, AE제 첨가율의 변화에 의해 목표로 설정하였던 3~30 MPa 범위를 만족하는 고화체의 제조가 가능하였다. 또한 미리 기포를 제조하여 혼입하는 방법보다 AE제를 배합수에 직접 혼합하는 방법이 단위용적질량 및 강도를 보다 정확히 조절하는데 유리한 것으로 나타났다. AE제 첨가율에 의한 단위용적질량과 공기량은 첨가율이 낮은 범위에서 급격하게 변화하였으며 첨가율이 증가할수록 변화량은 감소하였다. 이온교환수치 처리용 시멘트 고화체의 동탄성계수는 4.1~10.2 GPa 범위로 나타났으며, 일반콘크리트 보다 약 20 GPa 정도 낮고 그 차이는 강도의 증가에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이온교환수지 처리용 시멘트 경화체에서도 압축강도와 동탄성계수는 선형적인 관계를 보이고 있다.

To examine the potential utilization of chitosan, the biodegradable natural polymer, as a control agent of apple white rot caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea in a new control measure by coating it on the diseased branches, the various antifungal activities of chitosan was investigated. Chitosan showed significant inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of B. dothidea, along with the morphological changes including hyphal swelling and ultrastructural changes on solid PDA medium. In liquid PD broth medium, the chitosan showed more significant effect on the growth of B. dothidea also forming cell clusters indicating affection on the hyphal extension. The growth of B. dothidea was inhibited more than 90% at the concentration of 1.0 mg/ml. Chitosan also detained the spore germination and induced the morphological change of germ tubes. Glucosamine, monomer of chitosan, did not affect on the growth of B. dothidea indicating the antifungal activity was caused by chitosan polymer.
