The comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA) models between 3${\beta}$-Hydroxy-12-oleanen-28-oic acid (1-30) analogues as substrate molecule and their inhibitory activities ($pI_{50}$) against protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP)-1B were derived and discussed quantitatively. Listing in order, the CoMFA>CoMSIA${\geq}$HQSAR>2D-QSAR model, these QSAR models had the better statistical values. The optimized CoMSIA F1 model at grid 3.0${\AA}$ had the best predictability and fitness ($q^2$=0.754 and $r^2$=0.976) by field fit alignment. The order of contribution ratio (%) of CoMSIA fields concerning the inhibitory activities was a H-bond acceptor (48.9%), steric field (25.8%) and hydrophobic field (25.4%), respectively. Therefore, the inhibitory activities of substrate molecules against PTP-1B were dependent upon H-bond acceptor field (A) of $R_4$-group. From the analytical results of CoMSIA contour maps, oleanolic acid derivatives will have better inhibition activities if $R_1$ group has H-bond acceptor disfavor, $R_3$group has steric disfavor and $R_4$ group has steric, hydrophobic, H-bond favor.

3D-QSAR between fungicidal activitives ($pI_{50}$) against metalaxyl-sensitive (SPC: 95CC7105) or metalaxyl-resisitant (RPC: 95CC7303) isolate of phytophthora blight fungus (Phytophthora capsici), and a set of 3-phenylisoxazole (A) and 3-phenyl-2,5-dihydroisoxazole (B) derivatives as substrates were conducted using comparative molecular field analyses (CoMFA). The antifungal activities of (A) were generally higher than those of (B). And it is assumed that the most stable conformation of the active substrate was approximately planar from conformational search. The CoMFA models proved a good predictive ability and suggested that the electronic field of substrates were higher than hydropohobic field and steric field requirements for recognition forces of the receptor site. And the factors were strongly correlated (cross-validated $q^2>0.570$ & conventional $r^2>0.968$) with the fungicidal activitives. According to the CoMFA analyses, the selectivity factors for RPC suggested that the sterically bulky groups (C14 & C15) and electron withdrawing groups (C15 & C16) have to be introduced to the ortho, meta and para-position on the benzoyl moiety of substrates.

Due to development of the national economy growth, livestock goods consumption has rapidly increased over the past 30 years. It has led livestock breeders to increase their livestock numbers. An increased number of livestock have consequently resulted in an increasing animal feces generation. According to the agricultural statistics provided by the Bureau of Statistics, livestock manure amounts to 47,235 thousand tons in 2013. To treat livestock manure, various types of treatment facilities like composting, liquid fertilization, purification, and anaerobic digestion facilities are being applied. In composting facility, there are four kinds of agitation system: escalator, paddle, screw and rotary type. In case of liquid fertilization process, there are two types of system: aeration and anoxic type. There are about 8,000 liquid fertilization facilities for treatment livestock manure in Korea. For purification of livestock manure, the treatment process is divided by three steps: Solid/Liquid separation process, Secondary purification process and advanced oxidation process. About 21 thousand tons of livestock manure was treated by anaerobic digestion facility in 2012. In every type of facility for livestock manure treatment, it is very important to choose the optimal deodorization equipment for the livestock manure treatment facility. In this study, the investigation has been carried out for six years to analyse the characteristics of livestock manure treatment facilities and related technique of Korea.

This study was conducted to investigate specific stages and distribution of overwintering nymphs of green rice leafhopper, Nephotettix cincticeps by measuring head capsule width. The nymphal head capsule width of the 1st instar to the 5th instar was 0.381, 0.502, 0.673, 0.979 and 1.128 mm, respectively. lts coefficient variation was 5.3, 4.0, 3.0, 4.5 and 5.3%, respectively. Growth ratio of each instar was not significantly different among 2nd to 4th instars as 1.31 to 1.34, but for the 5th instar it decreased as 1.28. The logarithm of the nymphal head capsule width was regressed as a function of the stage number of insects, resulting in LogY = 1.4627 + 0.1192X ($r^2= 0.9993$). Also fitness to the Dyar's law for the nymphal head capsule width of each instar was 98% or over and the Dyar's constant (K) was 1.316. The occurrence of N. cincticeps was maximum at the end of January with 195 individuals/0.25 $m^2$. The most abundant instar in the overwintering N. cincticeps population was 4th instar accounting for over 90%. Population of the 5th instar began to increase from mid-March, and adults began to occur in early April.

In order to elucidate the effect of dietary n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3HUFA) on the changes of body weight and chemical compositions in the Korean rockfish during starvation, the fish were not fed for 9 weeks after fed different levels $(0\~1.5\%)$ of n-3 HUFA for 10 weeks. The higher level of n-3HUF A was contained in the diets, the slower body weight loss was resulted (P< 0.05). The decreasing rates of the body nutrients of the fish were significantly higher in the fish fed n-3HUF A deficient diets than those of the fish fed n-3 HUF A sufficient diets. Protein and lipid contents of the whole body were decreased with starvation whereas moisture content was increased. Decrease of lipid was mainly due to the decrease of nonpolar lipid. Amounts of polar lipid in the whole body were almost constant throughout the starvation, meaning not being affected by dietary n-3HUF A levels. Percentage of 22: 6n-3 was increased in the polar lipid fraction, but monoenic acids (16:1, 18:1), n-3 series (18:3, 18 4, 20:4) and n-6 series (20:2, 22:4, 22:5) were decreased with starvation. Fatty acid compositions of nonpolar lipid were not changed with starvation. These results suggest that all fatty acids of nonpolar lipid are equally utilized for energy during starvation.

The 3-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) models between the substituents with changing groups ($R_1$ & $R_2$) of 4-($R_1$)-benzyl alcohol and 4-($R_2$)-phenol derivatives as substrate molecule and their inhibitory activities against tyrosinase were derived and discussed quantitatively. The optimized CoMSIA 2 model have best predictability and fitness ($r^2\;=\;0.858$ & $q^2\;=\;0.951$). The contour maps of optimized CoMSIA 2 model showed that, the inhibitory activities of the analogues against tyrosinase were expected to increase when hydrophobic favor, negative charge favor, steric disfavor and hydrogen bond donor disfavor groups were substituted at the $R^2$ position. When the positive charge and the hydrogen bond donor favor groups were substituted at the $R_1$ position, it is predicted that the substituents will be able to increase the inhibitory activity. However, hydrogen bond acceptor did not affect inhibitory activities of tyrosinase.

Research was conducted to establish the leaf and petiole sap test to diagnose the nutritional status of tomato. The concentrations of $NO_3$, $PO_4$, K, Ca, Mg and $SO_4$ ions extracted from the leaves and petioles in the different positions in a plant were measured and compared with their corresponding inorganic contents in the leaves analyzed by the chemical method. The ionic concentrations in the leaf and petiole sap showed the different values depending on their positions in a plant. The leaves and petioles in the lower positions of a plant had higher concentrations of $NO_3$, Ca, Mg and $SO_4$ ions. In particular, there were greater changes of ionic concentrations and less increases in the leaf length and width from the 9th compound leaf down from the uppermost cluster. On the other hand, the leaflets in a compound leaf had the same ionic concentrations. Therefore, it appeared that the optimal sampling position of leaf and petiole for the sap test is the leaflets of the 9th compound leaf down from the uppermost cluster. A good correlation between the sap test and the chemical analysis of plant showed that the ionic concentrations in the leaf and petiole sap reflect the nutritional status of tomatoes.

16세기부터 씌워진 과실봉지는 초기 병해충을 방지할 목적만으로 사용되었지만, 현재는 방균과 방충의 효과와 함께 자연현상의 최적화를 위한 차광성, 발수성, 투기성 및 투습성 등 을 조절하며 과실의 외관과 과중 및 당도에까지 영향을 미치는 바 과실봉지의 기능성 부여 를 위해서는 고도의 기술력이 요구되고 있다 하겠다. 실제 과실봉지를 적용하는 한 예로서 “배”를 들 수 있는데, 그 중 황금배는 흑반병, 각 종 병충해 및 동녹으로 인한 상품가치의 하락으로 현재 수요를 충족시키지 못하고 있는 실 정이다. 과피의 비정상적인 코르크화로 인해 발생하는 동녹은 과피의 물리적 할렬과 생리적 장해에 의해 발생하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 과실이 비대해짐에 따라 과피의 기공(과점)이 할 렬하면서 코르크화가 진행되는데 그 발생정도나 시기는 배의 품종에 따라 다르나 일반적으 로 코르크화는 기상조건, 특히 습도와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 황금배의 재배에 봉지를 적용하면 과피의 코르크화가 억제되는데 봉지 내의 대기 환경 이 외기보다 안정적으로 유지되고 직사광선이나 농약 및 마찰로부터 과실을 보호해 주기에 동녹이 어느 정도 방지될 수 있다. 만일 과실이 외부로부터 받는 자극을 적절히 조절하는 기능성 봉지가 제 역할을 다해줄 수 있다면 동녹을 방지하여 외관을 개선함은 물론, 배의 성장에 적합한 미시대기 조건을 제공함에 따라 보다 높은 당도를 지닌 대과의 재배가 가능 하다고 판단된다. 그러나 기존의 황금배봉지는 동녹의 정도를 완화시킬 뿐 완전히 방지할 수 없었으며, 봉지를 적용한 재배조건에서의 동녹 발생기구를 정확히 이해하지 못했었기에 효과적으로 봉지의 기능을 개선하는 것이 불가능하였다. 과실의 미려도는 과실의 맛과 함께 그 가치를 결정짓는 중요한 물성으로서 우리나라 황 금배 재배환경과 특성에 알맞은 배봉지의 제작이 선결될 때, 배 품질의 향상, 안정된 공급이 가능하게 될 것이며 아울러 농가의 수입증대와 수출 경쟁력 강화가 이루어질 수 있을 것으 로 판단된다. 이러한 측면에서 황금배 재배농가가 당면한 동녹발생의 문제점을 효과적으로 해결하고 아울러 기타 과실의 재배용 봉지의 기능성 부여를 위한 새로운 과실 봉지 처리 기 술의 개발이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 상기한 측면에서 본 연구에서는 과실봉지를 적용했을 때 봉지 내의 미시대기 조건이 봉 지의 특성에 따라 변화되는 양상을 파악하기 위해서 실험실적으로 field 조건을 모사하고 봉 지 내의 온도 및 습도를 측정 분석하였다. 아울러 봉지 종류간에 동녹발생 정도가 상이한 점에 예의 주시하여 다양한 봉지의 적용실험을 통해 최적의 과실봉지 조건을 탐색하였다.
