Among various Green Infrastructure measures for urban stormwater management, effects of porous pavement were quantitatively examined in terms of hydrological cycle. Different scenarios for porous pavement were introduced on a SWMM model and the effects were compared and analysed using discharge hydrographs. Two types of pavements having different runoff coefficients (0.05 & 0.5) were introduced to cover different ratio of entire road areas (100 %, 77.5 % and 40.4 %) and these made up in total 6 different scenarios. Total runoff volume was reduced and peak flow was significantly decreased by applying the porous pavement. The highest reduction for total runoff was shown from S-6(covering area: 100 %, runoff coefficient: 0.05) as 19 % followed by S-5(covering area: 77.5 %, runoff coefficient: 0.05, 16 %), while that of S-2(covering area: 40.4 %, runoff coefficient: 0.05) and S-1(covering area: 40.4 %, runoff coefficient: 0.5) were the lowest with 8 % and 5 %. This proved that the application of porous pavement would improve urban hydrological cycle.

SU-Eohyeol pharmacopuncture(SUEP) was developed by adding Cervi Pantotrichum Cornu to Jungsongouhyul pharmacopuncture. This genotoxicity evaluation was performed to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the test substance SUEP agent using histidine, which requires strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537), and tryptophan, which requires Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA) strain in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. According to the results of the dose range finding study conducted prior to the main study, the dose levels of the test substance in the main study were determined as 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25%, and positive and negative controls were established. As a result of the main study, the mean number of revertant colonies compared to negative controls was less than 2-fold at all dose levels of SUEP in all strains with and without metabolic activation. In the positive control group, the mean number of revertant colonies for each strain was markedly increased by more than two times compared to the negative control group. Based on the result of this study, the test substance, SUEP did not show any indication of mutagenic potential under the conditions of this study.

In order to obtain fundamental information for developing new salinity tolerance soybean cultivars, the germination rate was evalulated with a total of 28 soybean varieties. The germination rate of soybean cultivars was decreased as the NaCl concentration was higher and that by temperature difference was the lowest at 35$^{\circ}C$. the germination rate of 1.2% NaCl treatment of seed shape and size was the highest at 15$^{\circ}C$ but was the lowest at 35$^{\circ}C$ in small seed groups. The germination rates of Gumjungkong, Alchankong, Gumgangkong, Hayumkong, Hwasungpukong, Janmikong cultivars were higher when treated with 1.2% NaCl at 35$^{\circ}C$, but those of Dawonkong, Hannamkong, Kwangankong, Daebaekkong, Danwonkong, Sukwyangputkong, Keunolkong, Bokwangkong, Jangyoupkong cultivars were lower. The germination rate of soybean cultivars was significantly decreased by higher temperature and NaCl concentration.

To investigate effects of water stress on apparent photosynthetic, transpiration rates, leaf orientation, yield and its related traits, four soybean varieties were planted on the Wagner pots in a plastic house covered with polyethylene film. As the light intensity and leaf temperature in a day increased, the movement of central leaflet in the second leaf of main stem occurred earlier than that of the lateral leaflet. The apparent photosynthetic rate of the central leaflet was higher than that of the lateral leaflet, but light intercept and leaf temperature of lateral leaflet were higher than those of the central leaflet. The apparent photosynthetic rate had highly positive correlation with the photon flux density, stomatal conductance and temperature, respectively. The photon flux density, stomatal conductance, transpiration and photosynthetic rates in the control were significantly higher than those in the water stress plot. The yield and its related traits in the water stress plot became decreased significantly in comparison with the control.

Stimulus effects of strobe light on jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus were studied by measuring the heart rate change according to the different strobe light intensity of 5~75 lx$\cdot$s. Heart rate was observed for 60 min: 10 min before, 30 min during and 20 min after the strobe light stimulus. The measurement of heart rate was repeated three times at 2 hour intervals. The results showed that the heart rate increased during stimulus but temporarily decreased immediately after ending of stimulus. The heart rate changes in both during and after stimulus were decreased with reducing light intensities. The heart rate change according to the repeated experiment was not remarkably different under the lower light intensity

1. Paju area of Kyonggydo has received serious damages by Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu in the bushes of Castanea crenata S. et Z. since 1965. I have also found the middle parts of whole country of Korea has damaged by this wasp. 2. Bobwonri was the worst case in its damage by Dryocosmus kuriphilus Yasumatsu with most prosperous parasite, Aletia flavostigma singularis Butler and Dictyoploca japonica Moore. I conclude that this is the result of the lack of beneficial insects and isolated bush formation. 3. The chestnut bush at Bunsuri was recovering from the damage of gall wasp nevertheless it was illustrated big damage at last year's hranches. I conclude that this recovering phenomena is closely related with the insect fauna of this area and this characteristic insect fauna was derived from the bush formation which reveals specific bush arrangement that can be illustrated as surrounded by another bush of Quercus acutissima Carruthers. 4. As a final conclusion, I recommend mixed bush formation of chestnut tree with Quercus species to control insect population dynamics in healthy status.

This study was designed to assess the toxicity of capsaicin-containing (CP) pharmacopunture using an in vitro chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster lung (CHL/IU) cells. In order to determine the high dose level in the main study of this study, a dose range finding study was conducted first. The high dose was selected at 10.0% of CP pharmacopuncture extract, and then diluted sequentially to produce lower dose levels of 5.00, 2.50, 1.25, 0.625 and 0.313% by applying a geometric ratio of 2. As a result, the cytotoxicity and precipitation of the CP pharmacopuncture as a test substance were not evident at any dose level during short-time treatment with and without metabolic activation and continuous treatment without metabolic activation. Therefore, the dose levels for this study were chosen as 10.0, 5.0, and 2.5%., and the treatment volume was 1.3 mL. In addition, negative and positive controls were set. In main study, the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations in CP treated groups was less than 5% in short-time treatment with and without metabolic activation and continuous treatment without metabolic activation. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference when compared to the negative control group. The frequency of cells with structural chromosomal aberrations in the positive control group was more than 10% compared to the negative control group, and it increased statistically significantly. In conclusion, under the conditions of this study, CP pharmacopuncture did not show the possibility of causing chromosome aberrations.

This study determined the characteristics of LED illumination and photosynthetically active radiation flux density (PPFD) for LED lighting design in an indoor plant factory. This was done based on the light wavelength and PPFD intensity required for plant growth. It has been found that the wavelength and intensity are decreased according to the measuring distance, and green light has an important role in illumination characteristics, while blue light has an important role in the PPFD characteristics. Considering only the photosynthetic properties of plants, the effective order of photosynthesis was blue>red>white>green. When the measurement distance was 30 [cm], it was found that reduction levels of 60 [cm], 90 [cm], and 120 [cm] decreased to about 36 [%], 18 [%], and 10 [%], respectively. As a result of the characteristics of mixed light (red:blue=2:1, 3:1, 4:1) and the measurement distance, when the measured value at 30 [cm] is 100%, the measured value at 120 [cm] is 10-11 [%]. From the obtained results, an optimal structure was proposed for maximizing the light efficiency of an indoor greenhouse for future research.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential of the test substance, SU-Eohyeol Pharmacopuncture (SUEP), to induce micronuclei in bone marrow cells of Sprague-Dawley (SD) Rats. Methods : The dose range preliminary study was performed first. 1 ml/animal was selected as the high dose of this study. Two additional lower dose levels (0.5 and 0.25 ml/animal) were produced by applying a geometric ratio of 2. In addition, the positive and negative control groups were set. Then, after intramuscular administration (1 ml/animal) of SUEP to 8-week-old male SD rats, an in vivo micronucleus test was performed to evaluate the induction of micronuclei in SD rat bone marrow cells. Results : As a result of the main study, the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the test substance SUEP groups was not statistically significantly different from the negative control group. In addition, the ratio of PCE to total erythrocytes in the test substance SUEP groups was not statistically significantly different from the negative control group. In the positive control group, the incidence of MNPCE in PCE was statistically significantly increased when compared to the negative control group. The ratio of PCE to total erythrocytes in the positive control group was not statistically significantly different from the negative control group. Conclusions : Based on these results, the test substance, SUEP, did not have any potential to induce micronuclei formation in bone marrow cells of rats under the conditions of this study.

This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental light-emitting diode (LED) light on growth characteristics and phytochemical content of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seedling using LED blue (470 nm, B), red (660 nm, R), blue + red (BR), far red (740 nm, FR) and UV-B (300 nm) light treatment, and without artificial light. Photon flux of LED light was 49, 16, 40, 5.0 and $0.82{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}s^{-1}$ for B, R, BR, FR, and UV-B light, respectively, during experiment. Supplemental LED light duration was $16hr\;day^{-1}$ and UV-B light duration was 10 min. per day after sunset up to 15 days (12 days after germination) of plants age. In our research, growth characteristics and phytochemical content of pepper seedlings were greatly influenced by supplemental LED light compare to control treatment. Red light increased the number of leaves, number of nodes, leaf width and plant fresh weight by 34%, 27%, 50% and 40%, respectively. Blue light increased the leaf length by 13%, and stem length and length of inter node were increased by 17% and 34%, respectively under grown far red light. After 15 days of light treatments phytochemical concentrations of pepper plants were significantly changed. Blue light enhanced the total anthocyanin and chlorophyll concentration by 6 times and 2 times, respectively. Red light increased the total phenolic compound at least two folds meanwhile far red light reduced the ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity 31% and 66%, respectively compared to control treatment.
