Current architecture can receive support of and command various ways of expression by more advanced technology of the present time, this means the formation of changeable external design of building, and has the tendency to be interactive non-rheological shape. Accordingly surface of building is decorated not only by the basic function and the expression of information, but also by complex narrative image structure or text, so far as recognizes human as the subject of communication, and is trying the artistic expression interacting with the general public. In various expressive tendency of current architecture surface design, such an approach from a view of an interactive art trying the communication between architecture, art, and human has the meaning of suggesting the direction of directing emotional architecture giving a present to the morderners who are growing more and more an earnest desire for experiencing culture and art in their daily life.

This paper describes the technical issues of the domestic standard and guideline for lightning protection systems in order to propose the countermeasures in damage of computer and electronic equipments due to lightning surges. The relationship between the current flow in the down conductor and the current flow in the steel conduit surrounding the down conductor was investigated as a function of the installation method of down conductors. Also the experiments were conducted to evaluate the influences of the skin effect on the down conductor systems. As a result, when the down conductor were bonded to the steel conduit, the down conductor and the steel conduit act as one conductor, so much mure lightning current flows in the steel conduit than in the copper down conductor because of the skin effect and choking effect. Therefore to reduce the adverse effects such as the electrostatic induction and side flashes caused by the potential rise of down conductors due to lightning currents, it is extremely effective to bond the down conductor to the steel conduit and steel frame of structures.

With the increase in power consumption due to the surge in the demand for power, it is necessary to improve the quality or design of the power (supply) for the purpose of reducing the energy consumption and so reduce the power loss. The switchboard is a mechanical device that receives electricity from the electricity generation facilities of KEPCO and divides it into the facilities required for each building. Switchboards generally consist of enclosures, switches, power conductors, and control components. This study deals with energized power conductors, which constitute the main element in the switchboard. Through the measurement of the effective ac resistance, it was confirmed that the vertical array structure of the conventional type plate conductor is inefficient. If the effective AC resistance increases significantly, the sectional area of the conductor becomes relatively large due to the skin effect. In this study, we studied the energy and material savings that could be obtained using the asterisk (*) array structure, which minimizes the effective ac resistance by reducing the skin effect. The core technology principle of this study is the energy saving switchgear based on conductor resistance reduction technology utilizing the asterisk array structure. The present invention involves a plate-shaped conductor arrangement structure capable of canceling out the magnetic field generated on each of the plate conductors (rst or abc) of the AC power supply in the power distribution panel by mutual action. The effect of this structure is to reduce the amount of inductive reactance due to the increase in the cross-sectional area and reduction of the effective AC resistance.

This study was investigated the changes of root length, tissue structure of root tip, and dry matter production of a Dongjinbyeo (DJ) cultivar subjected to 0.4 % agar medium with various concentration of NaCl (salt stress)- and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG, drought stress). Root length and dry weight of DJ plant were declined along the high concentration of PEG and NaCl in rice plants. To elucidate the changes of tissue structure in root tip to PEG- and NaCl-treatments, we examined the microscopic observation of root tip in NaCl- and PEG-treated rice plants using Toluidine blue O. By Toluidine blue O staining, methyl-lignin accumulation was found in the epidermis and outer cortex of the elongation zone at an early stage of PEG treatment, whereas was found only the outer cortex of the elongation zone of NaCl-treated root tip. The epidermis of NaCl-treated root tip became soften instead of methyl-lignin accumulation. TR ratio was increased along the high concentration in PEG- and NaCl-treated rice plant as a result of inhibited root elongation under PEG- and NaCl-treatment. From these morphological changes in root stimulated by drought and salt stress, we suggest that agar medium is useful to identify tolerant variety in germination stage under stressful environments.

To evaluate the effect of curing treatment using a newly developed simplified curing unit (SCU) on the physicochemical quality of stored sweet potatoes was investigated for six months. The SCU consisting of a heater, an air circulation fan, exhaust fans, and a humidifying duct was installed in a cold storage room where the harvested sweet potatoes were stacked. During the six days of curing treatment, air temperature and relative humidity in the storage room were set at $32^{\circ}C$ and 90%, respectively. Physical and chemical properties of sweet potatoes were measured at 1-month intervals from the first day of storage. McKinney index showing the incidence and severity of decay was 0.83% in the curing treatment, while that of untreated control was 5.08% over the same storing period. Firmness, soluble solids content, and dry matter content in the cured sweet potatoes were greater than those of untreated control. Moreover, the changes of skin color in uncured potatoes occurred rapidly than cured one which showed delay of skin discoloration during the long-term storage. Results suggest that the SCU treatment improves the physicochemical quality of stored sweet potatoes and extends their storability. Therefore, the SCU can be effectively used for curing treatment of sweet potatoes with a relatively low cost.

In order to develop the standards for the measurement of drought resistance in mulberry trees (Morus genus) the varietal differences of drought resistance were measured for 30 mulberry varieties, and the relationships between the drought resistance and the histological and physiological characteristics of mulberry leaves were investigated. The results were summarized as follows; 1. It is reasonable to use the drought resistance ratio, expressed by D/D'＊100, for the standard of drought resistance measurement for mulberry tree as a perennial tree crop. Where: D stands for growth amount(shoot length) in the plot of dry treatment, at the end of treatment. D' stands for an expected value of D which is expressed by B＊C/A. Here, A is the growth amount of wet treatment plot at the beginning of treatment, B is the growth amount of dry treatment plot at the beginning of treatment, and C is the growth amount of wet treatment plot at the end of treatment. 2. The results obtained from the application of above formula showed that the varieties Cadaneo, Tahozosaeng, Yongchunchuwu, Kaeryang suban. and Kabsun were highly resistant to drought and the varieties Jukmok, Shipyung, Sobun, Kaeryangzosaeng shipmoonza and Chungagokyo were highly susceptible. 3. Among leaf tissues. the rate of inter-cellular space showed the highest relationship with drought resistance. The correlation coefficient calculated (r=0.4153) was highly significant. Other leaf tissues such as epidermis and palisade showed no significant correlations with drought resistance. 4. The size and density of stomata were correlated to drought resistance. That is: Correlation between drought resistance and size of stomata(length ${\times}$ width)......r= -0. 3253(signif. at 5%) density(No. of stomata/l$\textrm{mm}^2$......r= +0.5047(signif. at 1%)
