The main purpose of this study was to verify the shore margin protection effect of the root system of Salix gracilistyla Miq. developed from direct sticking cuttings on wetland, focusing on the effect of the root system reducing soil particle dissociation rate in water. The soil dissociation rate was examined through slaking tests with cylindric pure soil column at maximum particle density and the same size column of root reinforced soil. The dry weight of remained soil was measured after 5, 10, 15, 30minutes and 1, 6, 12, 24, 48hours inundation. As results, the soil particles began to dissociate severely at 10 minutes and only 10% of soil particles were left after 25minutes inundation. The stable slope angle of pure soil was $36^{\circ}$after 24 hours. On the other hand, the columns of root reinforced soil were stable even after 24hours, being dissociated only 7.2% of soil particles. So, it was revealed that the root system was very effective materials protecting more than 80% of soil particle from dissociation in inundation.

The turbocharger, to decrease the harmful exhaust gas(CO, HC and etc.) and $CO_2$ emission as well as the increase of the engine output, would be an useful method for engine downsizing. Therefore the thermal endurance of turbine blade, the lubrication of turbine shaft and the engine knock according to the supercharge of the inlet air, had been studied. And there had been much progress in these research tasks to be achieved a breakthrough. But a study on the built-in WGV of a gasoline engine for a passenger car which may effect on the engine performance, is few. In this paper, the effect of the embedded WGV on the engine performance was performed through the endurance test, which was conducted more than 300 hrs using the 4 stroke, 1998 cc, water-cooled engine. To sum up the major results, there were an abrasion in the area of the WGV head edge and the thermal deformation on the WGV head face, These phenomena led to reducing the boost pressure which caused the reduction in the volumetric efficiency of the engine. It resulted in decreasing the engine power gradually during the life cycle of the embedded WGV.

This study was carried out in order to standardize the processing method of spiced soy sauce, to get the sensory scores for organoleptic properties in different cooking of each food items, and to analyze the microbiological and chemical properties during storage periods. In determining the optimum conditions for standardizing of spiced soy sauce, the best sensory score was found in the ratio of soy sauce to sugar of 1:0.7. In the result of microbial experiment on standardized spiced soy sauce, the stability of storage at 40$^{\circ}C$ up to 6 weeks was proved. The standardized spiced soy sauce which was composed of about 45.5% water, 6% crude protein, 11.7% reducing sugar and 32.1% invert sugar has not shown any significant difference during storage for 6 weeks at 40$^{\circ}C$ compared with the state immediately after processing. In the test of saltiness, specific gravity, viscosity and Hunter's color value, there was no notable change during storage at 40$^{\circ}C$. In the experiment of free amino acid and total amino acid, main amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid, which were not significantly changed during storage compared with processing state. In the analysis of mineral contents, sodium accounts for 95% of the total minerals, followed by phosphorus, magnesium, etc., in order, and there was no change during storage.

The inhibitory effect of onion extract on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and browning of peach juice was investigated. Various reducing agents such as L-ascorbic acid, L-cysteine, dithiothreitol, glutathione, and sodium pyrosulfite strongly inhibited polyphenol oxidase extracted from peach. The enzyme was also inhibited by addition of water extract of onion. Regardless of substrates used, the addition of heated onion extract exhibited stronger inhibitory effect on peach polyphenol oxidase activity than that of the fresh one. The inhibitory effect of onion extract was dependent on heating temperature and time. The onion extract inhibited the peach polyphenol oxidase non-competitively. The heating of onion extract in the presence of glucose, glycine stimulated the inhibitory effect of the onion extract, which suggests non-enzymatic browning products produced during heating might be responsible for the stronger inhibitory action of the heated onion extract. The retardation of peach juice browning by onion extract seems to be caused by inhibition of peach PPO.

The traditional farming method has very long history in the process of agricultural development. The application of chemical fertilizers production became most popular to increase quantities of agricultural production. The United States of America is one of largest countries in the world. There are at present 50 States and farming conditions are very different from each individual States. There are increasing trend of agricultural production by applying chemical fertilizers as well as sprays during last 50 years(1940-90). The disadvantages of conventional farming method were to destroy nature and human life. There were some other kinds of disadvantages such as nitriated contamination in drinking water both for human being and animals. The alternative farming method is one of new farming method reducing and/of non-application of chemical fertilizers and sprays in agricultural production. There is less economic research on alternative farming system about $5.444 economic advatages in organic farms comparing commercial farms at the same area. There are advantage of higher unit price level in orgnic products, decreasing chemical costs as well as effect of crop combinations. It is certainly necessary to have more empirical research on economic and management of alternative farming method in the United States of America. However, if there is economic advantage in alternative farming methods, the future development possibility of alternative farming method can be very bright in vear future. There might be more advantages such as soil conservation, better quality of agricultural products, better health conditions of farmer's and consumer's as well as keeping healthy environment of rural and urban areas.

Seoul subway system has been constructed to solve traffic difficulties of Seoul metropolitan, and now is the major public transportation. However, the more line has added in the system the deeper the bottom of the tunnel base. And a huge amount of groundwater along the line has seeping into the tunnel. Several subway stations has pumping system to extract the groundwater to the outside and consequently, groundwater table along the line has declined gradually. Groundwater table has dropped about 40 meters at some areas, There was some study for the proper usage of the abstracted groundwater and the project to use the groundwater has launched already by the local government. However. more serious problem is expected on quality degradation of soil and groundwater as the decline of groundwater table along the subway line. This study suggests that the detailed groundwater environmental study should be made as soon as possible for this. If there is any pollution leaking at the surface area of the groundwater depression, the pollution will be seep into the subway tunnel in some day even though the time will be different with the soil material and hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer. And the polluted area of the soil and groundwater would be enlarged along the pathway The study on possibility of the soil subsidence and reducing surface water flow in small creek were also needed. This study suggest one of the counter measurement that restoring the declined groundwater table after groundwater environmental study

Liquid sloshing occurs when a partially filled liquid tank is subjected to undesirable external forces or acceleration/deceleration for positioning control. Installation of baffles is still the most popular way to suppress the sloshing, but recent successes of input shaping in reducing structural vibrations may give a possible alternative. We aim at investigating the applicability of input shaping to sloshing suppression by numerically solving fluid motions in a rectangular tank. The tank is partially filled with water and it is suddenly put into a sequence of horizontal motions of acceleration and constant speed. The flow is assumed to be two-dimensional, incompressible, and in viscid, and a VOF two-phase model is used to capture the free surface. Results show that the sloshing can be successfully suppressed by shaping the input, i.e., the velocity or acceleration profile of tank. Three different input shapers (ZII, ZVD, and two-mode convolved ZV shapers) are tested and compared in this study Among them, the convolved ZV shaper shows a best performance to eliminate the sloshing almost completely.

Making use of chitosan (CS) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as a reaction system, CS-EDTA nanoparticles were synthesized through a facile counterion complex coacervation method. $Ag^+$ could enter porous CS nanoparticles synthesized with this method, allowing Ag nanoparticles within chitosan nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing silver nitrate with chitosan. Because of the noncovalent interaction between CS and EDTA, the EDTA could be easily removed via dialysis against water, and pure core/shell-type Ag/CS nanoparticles could be obtained. The nanoparticles showed higher antibacterial activity toward E. coli than the active precursor Ag nanoparticles and CS.
