Pongamia (Pongamia pinnata L.) as a source of non-edible oil, is potential tree species for biodiesel production. For several reasons, both technical and economical, the potential of P. pinnata is far from being realized. The exploitation of genetic diversity for crop improvement has been the major driving force for the exploration and ex situ/in situ conservation of plant genetic resources. However, P. pinnata improvement for high oil and seed production is not achieved because of unsystematic way of tree improvement. Performance of P. pinnata planted by Karnataka Forest Department was assessed based on yield potential by collecting 157 clones out of 264 clones established by Karnataka Forest Department research wing under different research circles/ranges. It was evident that the all the seed and pod traits were significantly different. Further, selection of superior germplasm based on oil and pod/seed parameters was achieved by application of Mahalanobis statistics and Tocher's technique. On the basis of D² values for all possible 253 pairs of populations the 157 genotypes were grouped into 28 clusters. The clustering pattern showed that geographical diversity is not necessarily related to genetic diversity. Cluster means indicated a wide range of variation for all the pod and seed traits. The best cluster having total oil content of more than 34.9% with 100 seed weight of above 125 g viz. Cluster I, II, III, IX, XV, XIX, XXI, XXIII, XXVI and XXVII were selected for clonal propagation.

This study investigated the status of planting status of school's flower of 11 elementary schools located in Chung-ju and its results were as follows. Totally 3,502 trees were planted in the 11 schools and the number of species of the trees was 103. For tall tree Thuja orientalis was planted most frequently and for shrub Buxus microphylla was done in the largest number of the schools. In addition, the number of trees planted in a school was averagely two times more in the model schools than in the other ones, and the average number of species of trees was also over three times more in the model schools. When the number of species of trees was examined according to their types, decidous broad leaved tree was found most frequently overall and the model schools had more various species of decidous tree compared to the other ones. Investigation on designation of school's flower and tree with the 11 elementary school, revealed similar results with those of previous studies performed with the schools in other areas and the tendency meant that the designation was uniform to some degree. Moreover, as only a few school's flower and tree were planted or no one was done in some schools, the species of school's flower and tree needed to be determined by considering characteristics and school percepts of a school as well as local features and circumstances of a region. In addition, more efforts should be made to infuse love for school and to improve quality of education by increasing the planting rate of school's flower and tree and by focusing them.

Safflower red and Amur Cork Tree dyes have used for dyeing on cotton fabrics largely. But they have low degree of lightfastness, So this study investigated the effect of BTCA pre-treatment on lightfastness of cotton fabrics dyed with Safflower red and Amur Cork Tree. The result is as the following; By FT-IR spectra, crosslingking was proved in cotton fabric pre treated with BTCA. K/S value of Safflower red dyed cotton fabric pretreated with BTCA was much more decreased than untreated cotton fabric with BTCA. It showed that the hue of the Safflower red dyed cotton fabric changed from reddish purple to red. However, K/S value of Amur Cork Tree dyed cotton fabric pre treated with BTCA was much more increased than untreated cotton fabric with BTCA. It showed that the hue of the Amur Cork Tree dyed cotton fabric changed from green yellow to yellow. For K/S value of Combination dyed cotton fabric pre treated with BTCA, Safflower red color was much more decreased than untreated cotton fabric. But Amur Cork Tree color was much more increased than untreated cotton fabric. It changed from reddish purple, red, yellowe red, to yellow in hue. ${{\Delta}E^*}_{ab}$ of Combination dyed cotton fabric in 40 hours irradiation was 15.7, however ${{\Delta}E^*}_{ab}$ of Combination dyed cotton fabric treated with 2% BTCA was 8.0, and that treated with 3% BTCA was 9.8. So, pre-treatment with BTCA to combination dyed cotton fabric with Safflower red and Amur Cork Tree showed more effective improvement of Lightfastness than untreated cotton fabric with BTCA.

This study was conducted to select superior provenances of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) well adapted to Korean environment for timber production. In 1976, twenty-two provenances of Scots pine were introduced from Sweden and the seeds were sown in seed beds in March. After one year, the seedlings were transplanted to nursery beds. The resulting 1-1 seedlings of 22 provenances were planted at Whaseong in 1978. Randomized complete block design with 3 replications were used for test plantation. Each provenance was planted with 20-tree row plot in each block and at a spacing of $1.8{\times}1.8m$. The growth performance of each provenance was monitored up to 33-years after planting. There were significant differences among provenances in volume growth. F3001 provenance showed the best volume growth of 33-years after planting ($0.160m^3$), which was 2.2 times greater than that of the lowest provenance W2027 ($0.072m^3$). The ranking of provenances was stabilized after 14 years. Comparing to reference tree species, Japanese red pine (Pinus densiflora), all Scots pine provenances showed poor growth performance. In other words, volume growth of Japanese red pine at age 28 and 33 were 2.1 and 3.3 times greater than that of Scots pine, respectively. Moreover, survival rate of Scots pine was lower than that of Japanese red pine. Based on these results, it was suggested that Scots pine was not suitable to Korean environments. The cause of maladaptation of Scots pine and the implications of introduction breeding were discussed.

In this paper, we propose a multicast P2Patching technique in the application layer. The P2Patching technique serves VOD stream effectively with Patching in P2P environment. The P2Patching provides multicast tree construction technique that reduces the server load and minimizes the start delay with extended multicast technique. And we provide a fast recovery technique by tree failure and dynamic buffering scheme that guarantees the continuous streaming by frequent tree disconnections. Comparing the method with that of $P2Cast^{[12]}$, we obtained the better performance by our scheme in terms of average join count, service rejection probability, tree recovery failure and buffer starvation. The average about 16$\%$ of the improvement is shown by the simulation. Most of all, the performance of buffer starvation and average join count shows a significant improvement than that of P2Cast.

In vitro techniques were developed for propagating Vaccinium oldhamii using shoots with apical buds. Explants having an apical bud were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0 mg/L of each zeatin, thidiazuron, 6-benzylaminopurine (BA), and 6-(γ,γ-dimethylallylamino)purine (2-iP) in order to induce multiple shoots. Among the tested treatments, the 2.0 mg/L of 2-iP proved to be most suited for the multiplication and growth of shoots; the multiple shoot induction rate was 100.0%, the average number of shoots was 7.4 per explant, and the average shoot length was 51.7 mm. The in vitro elongated shoots were rooted on half-strength MS medium containing various concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). However, overall callus overgrowth was observed in all treatments and resulted in necrosis and abnormal shoot growth in root formation. A low concentration (0.5 mg/L) of IBA was appropriate for normal root development and the in vitro rooting rate was 30%. Ex vitro treatments on root formation using various concentrations of IBA with Talc powder and two types of rooting substrates (Flexi-Plugs or Horticultural soil) were examined. The ex vitro rooting rate (80%) and length of roots (32.9 mm) were obtained when the cut ends of the shoots were treated with 1.0 mg/L IBA and cultivated in Horticultural soil for 2 months. These findings suggest that ex vitro rooting is the more effective method for improving root formation in Vaccinium oldhamii than in vitro rooting.

This paper aims to analyze the satisfaction level of people for the different types of tree burial sites, in order to suggest directions for the policy to revitalize tree burials. For the purpose of this study, the tree burial sites were classified into four types, and we conducted a questionnaire, targeting 414 visitors to the different case sites. Through the comparative analysis among the case sites, this study found that people prefer the public tree burial sites to the private ones, and most people liked the type of tree burials best created in a natural forest among the public sites. Based on these results, this study suggested that the policy should be focused on the revitalization of public tree burial sites created especially in natural forests in order to satisfy the preference of people. Through the analysis of the questions regarding the general citizens' awareness of tree burials, this study found the improvement measures are required for convenience facilities, low satisfaction for usage charge, low credibility for private tree burial sites, and strong demands to create stable growth environment for memorial trees. On the other hand, this study confound the bright prospect for the spread of tree burials because people who have used tree burial sites were highly willingness to recommend tree burial sites to others and they wanted to do a tree burial for their own funerals.

The goal of this research is to examine air temperature changes according to tree type, plantation type, roadside green area structure, and green volume of street green area within a city. The plantation type that could be analyzed for comparison by tree type with over 3 species was 1 rows of tree+shrubs. The results of analysis of average air temperature difference between pedestrian and car streets vis-a-vis 1 row of tree+shrub in high air temperature areas were: Pinus densiflora, $1.35^{\circ}C$; Zelkova serrata, $1.84^{\circ}C$; Ginkgo biloba, $2.00^{\circ}C$; Platanus occidentalis, $2.57^{\circ}C$. This standard large wide canopy species was analyzed by the roadside to provide shade to have a significant impact on air temperature reduction. In terms of analysis of the relationship between plantation type of roadside trees and air temperature, the average air temperature difference for 1 row of tree type was $1.80^{\circ}C$; for 2 rows of trees it was $2.15^{\circ}C$. In terms of analysis of the relationship between the roadside green area structure and air temperature, for tree type, average air temperature $1.94^{\circ}C$: for tree+shrub type, average air temperature $2.49^{\circ}C$; for tree+mid-size tree+shrub type, average air temperature $2.57^{\circ}C$. That is, air temperature reduction was more effective in a multi-layer structure than a single layer structure. In the relationship analysis of green volume and air temperature reduction, the air temperature reduction effect was enlarged as there was a large amount of green volume. There was a relationship with the green volume of the road, the size of the tree and number of tree layers and a multi-layer structured form of planting. The canopy volume was large and there were a great number of rows of the tree layer and the plantation type of multi-layer structure, which is what is meant through a relationship with the green volume along the roadside. Green composition standards for air temperature reduction effects and functional improvement were proposed based on the result. For a pedestrian street width of 3m or less in the field being ideal, deciduous broadleaf trees in which the canopy volume is small and the structure of the tree+shrub type through the greatest 1m green bend were proposed. For a pedestrian street width of over 3m, deciduous broadleaf trees in which the canopy volume is large and is multi-layer planted with green bend over 1m, tree+mid-size tree+shrub type was proposed.

this paper present an efficient line-drawing algorithm that reduces the amount of space required, Because of its efficiency , this line-drawing algorithm is faster than the Bresenham algorithm or the recursive bisection method. this efficiency was achieved through a new data structure; namely , the modified segment tree (MST). Using the modified segment tree and the distribution rule suggested in this paper, we dra lines without generating the recursive calls used in [3] and without creating the binary operation used in [4]. we also show that line accuracy improves in proportion to the display resolution . In practice, we can significantly improve the algorithm's performance with respect to time and space, This improvement offer an increase in speed, specially with lines at or near horizontal, diagonal. or vertical ; that is, this algorithm requires the time complexity of (n) and the space complexity O(2k+1), where n is the number of pixels and k is a level of the modified segment tree.
