Two experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of level and feeding period of dietary Monascus culture on the performance and cholesterol content of serum and meat in broilers and growing ducks.0.0(C), 0.5(T1), 1.0(T2) and $1.5\%(T3)$ of iwonascus culture which contained 0.5% monacolin-k was added to commercial broiler diets, respectively, and ffd during 2~6 weeks of age in Experiment 1. In Experilnent 2, commercial broiler diet added $1.0\%$ of Monascus culture was fed during $6\~6(C),\;4\~6(T1),\;2\~6(T2)\;and\;0\~6(T3)$ weeks of age, respectively. Three replicates of 16 day-old broilers and 10 day-old growing ducks each were randomly assigned to floor pen, respectively. In Experiment 1, as the level of dietary Monascus culture increased, body weight and feed intake of broilers significantly decreased (P<0.05), whereas those of growing ducks tended to increase without significant differences among treatments. Feed/gain ratio both in broilers and growing ducks showed a trend to increase. Cholesterol contents of serum both in broilers and growing ducks significantly decreased(P<0.05), and those of breast and thigh meat tended to decrease as the level of dietary Monascus culture increased. In Experiment 2, as the feeding period of dietary Monascus culture increased, body weight gain(P<0.05) and feed intake of broilers tended to decrease whereas those of growing ducks increased without significant differences anions treatments. Feed/gain ratio also increased without significant differences. Cholesterol contents of serum both in broilers and growing ducks significantly decreased(P<0.05), and those of breast and thigh meat tended to decrease as the feeding period of dietary Monascus culture increased without significant differences.

The various weathering products derived from andesitic rocks in the Guweol mountain area of Pusan have been studied in order to investigate the occurrence, characteristics and evolutional trend of clay minerals in the weathered rock and soil using mainly X-ray powder diffraction method. Kaolinite and halloysite are very abundant in the weathered rocks and soils derived from andesitic rocks of this area. Also, $12{\AA}$- and $14{\AA}$-minerals occur in the considerable amount. $12{\AA}$-minerals have been identified as mica/vermiculite interlayer minerals showing the $25{\AA}$ basal reflection. Their crystal sizes are relatively big showing more than 10 micron in diameter. Two types of $14{\AA}$-mineral, which are vermiculite/smectite interlayer mineral and Al-vermiculite, have been observed. Kaolin minerais consist of kaolinite, $10{\AA}$ and $7{\AA}$ halloysite. Kaolinite relatively dominates in the strongly weathered soil of the area. In contrast with kaolinite. $12{\AA}$- and $14{\AA}$-minerals such as vermiculite/smectite and mica/vermiculite interlayer minerals tend to occur in the weakly to intermediately weathered products. Based on their occurrences, it strongly suggests that they are intermediate products in the course of the weathering process from the parent materials into the kaolin mineral.

Red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) seedlings inoculated with Frankia pure cultures were grown in a walk-in growth chamber for sixteen weeks. Half were inoculated with the spores of the ectomycorrhizal fungus Alpova diplophloeus (Zeller & Dodge) Trappe & Smith. The mycorrhizal seedlings were significantly larger than nonmycorrhizal plants in diameter, and nodule and shoot dry weight by 6 to 16% when their heights were very similar. The mycorrhizal effects on water relations of red alder seedlings were explored in a 30 hours water stress. Mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal seedlings did not significantly differ in leaf water potentials, $CO_2$ exchange rates or $N_2$-fixation rates during the drought. Our results suggests that A. diplophloeus mycorrhizas increased red alder seedling growth under well-watered conditions but do not affect water relations of the plant under water-stress.

Species of 741 charcoal samples, which were excavated from the dwelling sites of the bronze age $(about\;2500\~3100\;B.P)$ at Hyeonwha-ri, Pyungteak, Korea, were identified. Most of samples were deciduous oaks (Quercus spp.; $97.7\%$) and others were alders (Ainus spp.; $1.9\%$) and soft pines (Pinus spp.; $0.4\%$). Tree rings of nine largest samples were also examined. The numbers of annual rings were 8 to 36 and mean ring width was rather narrow $(0.65\~1.82\;mm)$. Most samples possessed pith and tylosis. The results indicate that logs 10 to IS cm diameter had been used for the poles of houses without further processing.

Myofibrilar Protein from Korean Duck Muscle was extracted and ATPase activities were studied. The results were as follows: 1. Mg-activated ATPase activity of Myofibril from Korean Duck, muscle exhibited a biphasic response, ATPase activity was high at a low ionic strength and low activity was showed at high ionic strength. 2. Effect of EDTA on the Myofibrillar protein ATPase activity was studied, it was investigated that the EDTA inhibition was showed at the concentration of $6.9{\mu}g$ and it above. 3. It showed that the effect of Ca++ on ATPase activity was decreased at the lower than $3{\mu}g$. Inhibition showed at the concentration of $6.9{\mu}g$ and it above. 4. It showed that the effect of Mg++ on ATPase activity was decreased at the lower than $3.6{\mu}g$. Inhibition showed at the concentration of $3.9{\mu}g$ and it above.

Highly bio-active plant essential extracts and oils from pepper, clove bud, rosemary and origanum which are selected to develop environment-friendly insecticides was studied for their acute toxicity. The results of acute oral toxicity using rats showed $LD_{50}$ value of over 2,000 mg/kg bw for pepper, clove bud, rosemary and origanum oils. The calculated acute dermal $LD_{50}$ value of pepper was over 4,000 mg/kg bw and anther testing materials was over 4,000 mg/kg bw. The skin irritation test showed that pepper, clove bud and rosemary oils had no irritation while origanum oil had a moderate irritation. According to the eye irritation test, it showed that there was no irritation for pepper and rosemary oils, while there were irritation for clove bud and origanum oils. Consequently, pepper and rosemary oils were shown to be low in toxicity whereas clove bud oil was indicated to cause a mild eye irritability and origanum oil, causing a moderate skin and eye irritability.

This study investigated the potential of dye plants as natural oral health products. The antibacterial activity of ethanol stem extracts of A. japonica, R. verniciflua Stokes, G. jasminoides, D. morbifera, P. amurense Rupr., and S. japonica against P. gingivalis KCTC 5352, S. mutans KCTC3065, S. downei KCTC3634, S. sanguinis KCTC3284, and S. gordonii KCTC 3286 was confirmed. Among the stem extracts from 6 dye plants grown in Korea, ethanol extract from A. japonica stem (1 mg/disc) showed the highest antibacterial activity against P. gingivalis KCTC5352. The A. japonica stem extracts showed antibacterial activity similar to chlorhexidine, which was used as a positive control. The MIC and MBC of P. gingivalis KCTC5352 were 0.4 mg/ml and 0.6 mg/ml, respectively. The biofilm production rate and cell growth of P. gingivalis KCTC5352 in the cultures treated with 0.2-2.0 mg/ml of A. japonica extract were significantly decreased in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition, the mRNA expression of the superoxide dismutase and fimA associated with fimbriae formation in these cultures was suppressed, also in a concentration-dependent manner. Based on these results, it is concluded that A. japonica stem extracts can be used as an oral health product derived from natural materials, as demonstrated by its antibacterial action against and inhibition of biofilm formation of P. gingivalis KCTC5352.

인쇄품질을 관리하기 위해선 고려해야 할 점이 많다. 그 중에서도 컬러의 관리는 가장 까다로우면서도 중요한 문제다. 인쇄물의 첫인상을 전달하는 컬러는 가장 많은 논란의 대상이 되기도 한다. 이런 이유에서 컬러매니지먼트는 인쇄물 품질 관리의 핵심이자, 판단기준으로 여겨지고 있다. 엑스라이트, 엡손, 프레스사인, 잉크존, 오리스 등의 컬러매니지먼트 관련 차트, 솔루션, 계측 장비, 평가 툴 등의 제품과 솔루션을 공급하는 토털 서비스업체 (주)미디어머신(대표이사 장영엽)과 함께 하면, 컬러 관리의 답이 보인다.
