  • In the sheep and cattle's rumen, facultative anaerobic cellulolytic bacteria were isolated by using Hungate's roll tube technique. In the 21 isolated species, one was screened by its strong cellulolytic activity and identified as Cellulomonas fimi C-14 by investigate morphological, cultural, physiological characteristics and electron microgram. Optimum conditions of the cell growth and enzyme production were pH 6.5 an $30^{\circ}C$, Thiamine and biotin support a good growth of C. fimi C-14. In the enzyme activities, Crystalline cellulose hydrolyzing activity, CMCase activity and ${\beta}-glucosidase$ activity were 20.6, 226.6 and 0.56$(unit{\times}10^3/ml)$ at pH 6.0, $40^{\circ}C$. By addition of fungal cellulase, enzyme activity was increased. Simultaneous Saccharification Fermentation is better than two step fermentation in ethanol yield with Saccharomyces cerevisiae DY2.

  • In total, 29 $^{14}C$ dates were obtained from Paleolithic sites in the Korean peninsula. If not the dates from the Sorori peat layers, the number will be less than 20. Low boundary of Upper Paleolithic could be estimated by some early of the dates from Blade stone industries. Couple of $^{14}C$ dates indicate that beginning of Upper Paleolithic industries could approach to 40 K BP, but it is premature to establish fine chronology of Upper Paleolithic. Some of the $^{14}C$ dates of microlithic industries probably represent too earlier age than generally thought. Tentatively, the beginning of microlithic industries may go back to an age of slightly older than 20 K BP, as indicated in Janghungri, Sokchangni, Noeundong etc. The obtained $^{14}C$ dates at present are very important for construction of Paleolithic chronology. but it is necessary to accumulate for more $^{14}C$ dates in future along with results from other dating techniques and to reconstruct site formation processes for obtaining objective age of stone industries.

  • The methods for determining C-14 and tritium contents in the spent nuclear fuel sample were developed. The carbon-14($^{14}CO_2$) released during the dissolution of the spent fuel sample and $CaCO_3$ ($CO_2$ carrier) with 8 M $HNO_3$ at $90^{\circ}C$ was collected in trap containing 1.5 M NaOH. The volatile radioactive iodine evolved when the spent fuel was dissolved, was trapped on to Ag-silicagel (Ag-impregnated silicagel) adsorbent in column which is connected to two NaOH traps. The solutions which contain tritium as HTO after fuel dissolution were decontaminated by deionization with a mixture of cation and anion exchange resins and inorganic ionexchangers. The amount of C-14 in the trap solutions and the HTO concentration in the resulting deionization water were then determined by liquid scintillation counting.

  • The sensory properties in Alaska pollack sikhae were compared in 3 different temperature conditions, 5$^{\circ}C$, 20$^{\circ}C$ and alternating temperature(stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ after 10 days of fermentation at 20$^{\circ}C$), respectively, during fermentation. The change of instrumental texture including hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and chewiness increased and/or decreased without significant difference in the sikhae fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ during fermentation. Three profiles, hardness, chewiness and cohesiveness in the sikhae fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ increased up to 12 day and then decreased, whereas those in alternating temperature decreased significantly. From the acceptance test during fermentation, sikhae products fermented for 14 days at 5$^{\circ}C$, 9 days at 20$^{\circ}C$ and 13 days at alternating temperature were superior in sensory properties. The score more over 5 point in overall acceptance was maintained until 14 days in 5$^{\circ}C$, 9 days in 20$^{\circ}C$ and 13 days in alternating temperature, respectively, and particularly, alternating temperature condition was superior to the different temperature conditions. The sensory texture and overall acceptance had the high positive correlation with chewiness and taste, respectively. From the result of quantitative descriptive analysis, the intensities of acidic odor and taste in alternating temperature maintained and/or increased during 27 days of fermentation, whereas those in sikhae fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ decreased. These results demonstrated that cold chain system such as alternating temperature was needed for shelf-life extension and producing of marketable Allaska pollack sikhae.

  • Much attention has been paid to the fact that quite a few herbicides such as phenylcarbamates, phenylureas, and acylanilides form azo compounds known as carcinogens by virtue of the microoranisms in soil. In consequence, many investigators synthesized. TCAB, an azo compound, starting from 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene for the related studies. However, the authors were under the necessity of synthesizing $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ TCAB from $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ 3,4-DCA available, in addition to making up for the disadvantage of dechlorination in the reduction of 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene. The new method is as follows:TCAB, $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ and non-labeled, was produced by aerial oxidation of 3,4-DCA catalyzed by CuCl with pyridine as solvent at $60^{\circ}C$ for 5-12 hrs, giving 80.2% yield. The procedure forpurification was described in detail. The identities of TCAB isomers were confirmed by means of autoradiography, TLC, GLC, IR, and MS.

  • As the important pathogens of potato storage diseases, Fusarium solani, F. reseum, F. oxysporum, and Erwinia carotovora were isolated from rot potato tubers. The cut potato pieces of the three cultivars, Epicure, Irish Cobbler, and Superior were held in moist chambers of $4^{\circ},\;14^{\circ},\;24^{\circ},\;and\; 34^{\circ}C$ and 7 days and then rated for suberin and periderm development. The cut potato pieces thus treated were inoculated with the four organisms and held at $24^{\circ}C$ for 9 days and then rated for decay. As the temperature and period of holding increased, more suberin and periderm were developed with decrease in decay. Although there were differences in pathogenicity of the organisms, varietal reaction and protective barrier development, the effect of temperature and holding period had greater importance for decay prevention. At $4^{\circ}C$ within 7 days of holding period the potato pieces developed no protective barrier with severe decay. It is required to avoid placing cut potatoes directly in cold storage of the low temperature. At $34^{\circ}C$ the pieces developed abundant protective barriers even though decay occurred in somecases. Practically no decay was found with moderate protective barrier development after 3 days and 5 days at $24^{\circ}C\;and\;14^{\circ}C$, respectively. Since the potato pieces decayed occasionally during the holding period when they were held at the higher temperature, the holding at $14^{\circ}C$ for longer than 5 days is considered to be feasible for prevention of storage rots.

  • This study aims to analyze the impact of China's iron ore imports and exports on the tramper freight rate of China. The import volume of iron ore in China, the export volume of steel products in China, and exogenous variables were used as independent variables. The dependent variables were BDI, BCI, C5, C10, C14, BSI, S2, and S3. Correlation analysis and regression analysis were conducted. The correlation analysis showed that China's iron ore imports were not related to the remaining BDI, BCI, BSI, C5, C10, S2, and S3, except for the C14 index. However, there was a positive correlation between the ship's space and international oil prices, and it was not related to China's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI). The export volume of steel products was negatively correlated with BDI, BCI, BSI, C5, C10, C14, S2, S3, and international oil prices, and was not related to iron ore imports, ship space, and China's PMI. In the verification of the hypothesis between China's iron ore imports and exogenous variables, China's PMI was rejected within the hypothesis. However, the hypothesis on international oil prices and ship space was adopted. In the verification of the hypothesis between China's steel export volume and exogenous variables, the hypothesis on BDI and the S3 index was adopted, and the hypothesis on BSI and S2 was rejected. In the analysis results of this study, the ship space and oil prices were adopted in all the hypothesis results. Domestic companies participating in the tramper shipping market will need to be prepared through continuous monitoring of related indicators.

  • In order to investigate the uptake of the systemic insecticide, carbofuran, 2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl-N-methyl(arbamate) residues, fresh and aged, by rice plants, they were grown for 42 days in soils containing freshly treated (T-1), 3-month-aged (T-2), and 6-month-aged residues (T-3). The amounts of $^{14}CO_2$ evolved from $^{14}C-carbofuran$ during the 3-and 6-month aging in soil (temp. $22{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ ; moisture, 50% of the maximum water-holding capacity) were 8.9 and 26.7% of the original radioactivity applied, respectively. Mineralization of $^{14}C-carbofuran$ in soil to $^{14}CO_2$ during 42 days of rice growing was 4.4% (T-1), 11.0% (T-2), and 15.7 (T-3). The methanol extract of the 3-and 6-month-aged soils revealed that 3-keto carbofuran phenol (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxo-7-benzofuranol) was the major metabolite, where as 3-hydroxy carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-7-benzofuranyl-N-methylcarbamate) turned out to be the major metabolite in the shoots by the enzymatic cleavage of the possible conjugate present in the methanol extract. Volatilization of $^{14}C-carbofuran$ in soil during 3-and 6-month-aging, and 42 days of rice growing was 0.026, 0.05, and 0.012-0.018% of the applied radioactivity, respectively. The $^{14}C-radioactivity$ which was absorbed from the soils by rice plants during 42 days of the growing period and persisted in rice plant tissues was 26.8, 21.4, and 10.3% in T-1, T-2, and T-3, respectively. The non-extractable bound residues were 8.3, 37.9, and 54.6% of the originally applied carbofuran in T-1. T-2, and T-3, respectively. The small translocation of $^{14}C-radioactivity$ in T-3 upwards suggests that major metabolite 3-keto carbofuran phenol is conjugated in roots and the low recovery in T-1 indicates the loss of carbofuran from the shoots.

  • Previously, we have shown that green tea extract lowers the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, fat, and other fat-soluble compounds. We conducted this study to determine whether green tea extract affects the rate of $^{14}C$-oleic acid esterification into various lipids in the intestinal mucosa of rats. Male Sprague-Dawley ruts were had free access to a nutritionally adequate AIN-93G diet and deionized water. Initially, the rat's mucosal content of total lipids was measured following 1 mL olive oil administration with (green tea group) or without (control group) 100 mg green tea extract powder. At 1 h and 5 h, intestinal segments were extracted for total lipid analysis. Secondly, to measure mucosal esterification rates of lipids, an abdominal incision was made along the midline, and a 10-cm long jejunal segment of the small intestine was ligated in situ. Then, micellar solutions with or without green tea extract were injected into the ligated jejunal segments and incubated for 10 mill. The micellar solution contained $200.0\;{\mu}$ Ci $^{14}C$-oleic acid, $200.1\;{\mu}mol$ unlabelled oleic acid, $66.7\;{\mu}mol$ 2-monooleoylglycerol, $66.7\;{\mu}mol$ palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, 2.2 mmol glucose, $50.0\;{\mu}mol$ albumin, and 16.5 mmol Na-taurocholate per L of phosphate buffered saline (pH, 6.3) with or without 8.87 g green tea extract powder. At 10 min, each rat was sacrificed by cervical dislocation under anesthesia and the segment was removed for lipid analysis. Significant differences were observed in mucosal triglyceride content at 1 h and 5 h in ruts given green tea extract. Significant differences in the rate of $^{14}C$-oleic acid esterification into triglycerides and phospholipids fractions were observed between control and green tea groups. However, There were no significant differences in other lipid fractions. These results indicate that the lowered esterification rates of $^{14}C$-oleic acid into triglycerides and phospholipids fractions is attributable to presence of green tea extract. This may be associated with an inhibitory effect of green tea catechin on the mucosal processes of lipids, leading to the inhibition of intestinal absorption of lipids.
