Fresh ginseng was washed with water and packaged individually in a soft film bag (ONY/LDPE/L-LDPE;200${\times}$300mm, 90$\mu\textrm{m}$), then stored at 25$^{\circ}C$, 10$^{\circ}C$, or 4$^{\circ}C$ to investigate quality and weight changes of the packaged fresh ginseng according to its storage time. Softening was the major phenomenon which influenced on the quality of the packaged fresh ginseng while spoilage and color-change were relatively minor phenomena. There were very good correlations not only between the quality change rate constant and the storage temperature but between the weight change rate constant and the storage temperature. This result suggests that the shelf-life and the weight loss of the packaged fresh ginseng being store at low temperature can be estimated by an accelaerated sotrage test.

For the establishment of prediction strategies of carcass meat quality grade and for the enhancement of prediction accuracy, sixty six Hanwoo steers were ultrasonically tested at 24 months of age. Ultrasonic meat quality grade were predicted by standard ultrasonic image and decision tree method using ultrasonic meat quality index. From the results of decision tree method using ultrasonic meat quality index, it was found that the marbling score was mainly influenced by the distinctness of rib on ultrasound image. Prediction accuracy of meat quality grade by ultrasonic meat quality index was 86.4%, resulting in 7.6% higher accuracy than that by standard ultrasonic image (78.8%).

In order to guide the project for tree seedling production and direct seeding afforestation by introduction of genus Lespedeza, studies were conducted on the effect of seed storage period and on percentage and rate of germination through various kinds of treatments. L. bicolor, L. cyrtobotrya, and L. japonica. intermedia seed were storeds at different period of time. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. Germination capacity was not reduced until 28 months after harvest. However, germination was very poor 40 months after harvest, with less than 30% germination obtained by germination treatments. 2. Removal of seed coat and cone, sulphuric acid treatments were more effective in increasing germination than other treatments. Especially, most seeds germinated one week earlier than other treatments by removal of the seed coat. 3. The seeds stored for a short period of time showed more rapid germination compared to seeds which were stored for long period.

The technology to predict and prevent an accident of the cable system in power station is required. The techniques of inactivated diagnosis, partial discharge and $tan{\delta}$, have been adopted to diagnoze the operating characteristics of cables, but it is not so easy to find out problems in cables in an inactive state before the cable accident happens. In this paper, we did a research on the 6.6kV high-power cables, installed at Korean Western Power Station Co., Ltd. in order to diagonize the cables, playing a major role at the station. We have developed an equipment to measure an insulation resistance based on the temperature and current of the cable. By installing the system in a power station, we could find abnormal status for evaluation of the lifetime. In the short term, by analyzing the data, we apply the research result to the diagnosis and evaluation of the 6.6kV power cables. In the long run, however, we plan to reduce the cost of the installation and operation of cable systems at power stations.

Shotcrete for support of tunnel structures may contact with groundwater. The hazardous components in groundwater may cause corrosion of shotcrete. Also, the hazardous components may deteriorate the engineering properties of shotcrete, such as compressive strength, bond strength, flexural strength and so forth. The more the effect of the hazardous components on the shotcrete may increase, the more the stability of tunnel structure may decrease. The specimens were artificially immersed in various chemical solutions including hazardous components after the specimens were made at the tunnel construction site. It was performed to analyze the effect of the hazardous components in ground water on the engineering properties of shotcrete. The uniaxial compressive strength test, XRD, SEM were conducted to evaluate the durability and corrosion of shotcrete.

Rate-of-return regulation where a regulator compensates the utilities based upon the cost incurred the regulated companies have the incentive to over-report cost level. However, in case of cost-based competition where a regulator knows the cost of each plant involved and induce the competition among them, one can encounter prisoner's dilemma situation in the short run where the regulated firms under-report cost level. For instance, in case of cost-based pool, a generator may have a strategic behavior to keep its registered variable cost higher than the actual level to maintain its operation rate and generation amounts higher. Eventually, however, such behavior decrease the profitability of a generator and discourage new entry jeopardizing required level of capacity reserves. This is a typical Prisoner's Dilemma situation. The power market operating rule should be revised so that generators' registered variable cost reflect actual level of variable cost.

The College entrance examination stress syndrome is a kind of anxiety disorder. The underlying cause of this disorder is not a test anxiety itself. One's hidden inner and familial conflicts are more likely attributed to this disorder. Patient's the most common complaints are various psychosomatic symptoms but in severe cases underlying psychopathology may be activated and progress to major psychosis. In a broad sense adolescent's delinguent behavior, drug abuse, school drop-out and sucide are closely related to this syndrome. In clinical management of these patients, considering the special situation of impending examination, the therapist must access to central conflict theme in a short time without severe resistance. The authors classified this syndrome into 5 clinical subtypes ; 'the anxious group', 'the exhaustion group', 'the despair group', 'the emptyness group' and 'the boredome group'. Typical case of each subtype and it's management methods were presented briefly.

The grouting method, which can be used to effectively improve small areas within a short amount of time, may have different injection effects depending on the ground conditions and the levels of a water table. In particular, for ground with a relatively large permeability, the strength of the ground and the water proof ability can decrease over time due to the leaching process. To solve this problem, a "self-healing smart grouting (SSG) method", which was designed to maintain the initial strength of the ground by minimizing the leaching process, was developed recently. In this study, uniaxial compression tests were carried out on SSG samples to understand the strength of SSG over curing time where two different curing temperatures have been applied for comparison. The uniaxial compression strength of SSG was further compared with the samples prepared using conventional methods (LW and SGR). The test results showed that the uniaxial compression strength of SSG was higher at both high and low curing temperatures compared to that of the samples prepared using conventional methods. The initial strength of SSG was also relatively higher.

Changes of quality properties of fermented tofu prepared with two molds like Actinomucor elegans (AE) and Rhizopus oligosporus (RO) and coagulants (CaCl$_2$ and citric acid) were investigated. Moisture and crude protein of fermented tofu were rapidly decreased during fermentation, the contents of crude lipid and crude ash were shown to be slightly increased, ad then total acidity was slowly decreased. The content of reducing sugar of fermented tofu was slowly increased for 7 day of fermentation, but rapidly increased after that time because of rapid hydrolysis of carbohydrate in fermented tofu. The contents of amino and ammonia type nitrogen were quickly increased during fermentation. The highest contents of amino type nitrogen of fermented tofu were found in sample of CaCl$_2$group as a coagulant and RO group as a mold. Contents of minerals in tofu fermented for 14 day were high in order of K>Ca>Mg>Na. Iin conclusion, AE was more effective than RO to enhance the contents of reducing sugar and amino type nitrogen as an indicator of fermentation within 7 day of fermentation, and then RO was more effective than AE after that time. Calcium chloride as a coagulant was more effective than citric acid in tofu fermented with the same strain for 14 day.

Foam-type biodegradable polyurethane adhesives were developed as a non-lethal weapon against illegal fishing boats. The adhesives were prepared from a hardener of polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and a base composed of polyester and/or polyether polyols. In order to accelerate biodegradability, starch, dextrin, and amylase were added into the base, and which present about 34% degradability within 4 weeks confirmed by OECD 301C method. For proper mixing and corresponding prompt foam reaction, viscosities of hardener and base compositions were investigated in the temperature ranges from 0 to $50^{\circ}C$. For fast completion of the foam forming and corresponding adhesion, rising time was recorded in the same temperature range, and the rising time of the adhesive was varied within around 1 minute. T-peel adhesion tests with cotton fabrics were performed which showed 20.78 N/cm and 11.95 N/cm as the maximum and the average values, respectively.
