Phenol compounds in water were simultaneously analyzed by extractive derivatization. Aqueous solution was controlled to pH 13 with sodium hydroxide, and then $500{\mu}L$ of benzoyl chloride was added to the solution. The solution was shaken for 15 minutes and extracted with diethyl ether and then analyzed using GC/MS-SIM. The calibration curves of phenolic compounds in the range of 0.05 to $5.0{\mu}g/mL$ showed a good linearity having the correlation coefficient of $r^2=0.9915$ and standard deviation of ${\leq}8.5%$, respectively. The recoveries by this method ware 58.4-114.0%.

플라즈마 시뮬레이션을 수행하기 전에 현 컴퓨터의 계산 능력범위 내에서 물리적으로 타당하게 설명할 수 있는 수치 해석 방법을 먼저 정한다. 예를 들면, 가스 반응이 많고 각 가스 반응 중에 중요가스 반응을 빠르고 선택적으로 선별하고자 할 때, 혹은 외부 입력 변화에 따른 플라즈마 종의 온도 또는 밀도를 대략적으로 파악하고자 할 때는 공간적인 분포를 고려하지 않는 0차원 global 모델링을 이용한다. 압력이 높고 충돌이 빈번한 경우에는 플라즈마를 유체적인 관점에서 기술이 가능하므로, 볼츠만 방정식에서 속도에 관한 0차, 1차, 2차 모멘텀을 이용하여 유도된 유체 방정식을 이용한다. 반대로 압력이 낮고 충돌이 거의 없는 경우에는 플라즈마 입자를 개별적으로 추적하는 입자 전산 모사 방법을 이용한다. 지금까지는 앞에서 언급한 예와 같이, 개별 플라즈마 상태에 맞는 시뮬레이션 코드를 각각 만들어야 했고, 각 코드를 개별적으로 유지 보수해야 했다. 하지만, 개별적으로 코드를 유지 보수를 해야 할 경우에는, 동일한 기능을 하는 함수를 반복적으로 각 코드에 입력해야 하는 불편함이 따르고, 각 수치해석 방법의 장점을 모은 하이브리드 방법과 같은 전사모사를 개발할 때 각 기능을 통합해야 하는 어려움이 따른다. 또한 지금까지 개발된 대부분의 플라즈마 코드는 외부 입력에 대해 유연하지 못한 대처로 새로운 가스 반응을 추가하거나 새로운 수치해석 방법을 추가할 경우에는 코드를 전체적으로 수정해야 하는 어려움이 있었다. 따라서 코드를 통합적으로 관리할 수 있고, 외부 입력에 대해 유연하게 대처할 수 있는 시뮬레이터가 필요했다. 여기에서는 객체 지향 언어인 C++ 언어를 이용하여, 사용자 입력에 대해 유연하게 대처할 수 있고, 복잡한 화학 반응을 특정 수치 해석 방법에 상관없이 통합적으로 관리할 수 있는 코드를 개발하였다.

기생충감영시 cytokine으로 활성화된 대식세포가 방어기전의 Effector cell로 작용할 때 분비하는 nitric oxide의 양 및 TNF-$\alpha$ 와 IFN-$\gamma$의 분비정도와 nitric oxide와의 상관관계 등을 알아보기 위하여 3종의 흡충류, Fasciola, paragonimus, Schistosma의 조항원 (100mg/ml)을 마우스 복강내에 주사　 후 24시간, 72시간, 9일간격으로 마우스의 대식세포(1X10$^{6}$/ml)를 분리하여 RPMI 배지 (10% FCS 첨가)에서 48시간 배양후 Nitric TNF-$\alpha$ 및 IFN-$\gamma$를 ELISA로 정량하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. Nitrite 생성정도는 Fasciola 조항원으로 24시간 감작시킨 대식세포에서 가장 높게 나타났으며 (140$\mu$M/ml) Paragonimus 항원군에서는 24시간에 최고치에 달하였다가(34 $\mu$M/ml) 시간이 경과함에 따라 점차 감소하였다. IFN-$\gamma$는 Paragonimus 항원군에서만 대조군에 비해 높았으며 9일경에 최고치를 보였다(475ng/ml). TNF-$\alpha$는 Schistosoma 항원군에서는 nitric oxide의 생성과 분비 양상이 일치하였다. 위의 결과에 의하면, 흡충류항원으로 감작된 마우스 대식세포의 nitric oxide 생성에 영향을 미치는 cytokine의 종류는 흥충류에 따라 차이를 보였으며, 이 중 Paragonimus 항원에 의해서는 IFN-$\gamma$의 분비가 촉진되는 것으로 나타났고, Schistosoma 의 경우에는 TNF-$\alpha$가 nitric oxide의 생성에 관계함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, we analyzed the relationships between weather factors and photosystem II activity (F_v/F_m), as a measure of photochemical efficiency, in three cool-season turfgrasses commonly planted on golf courses in Jeju, South Korea: perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.), and creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.). In all three turfgrasses, F_v/F_m was higher during late summer than during early summer. However, in late summer, F_v/F_m was significantly lower in perennial ryegrass than in the other two species. In early summer, F_v/F_m in perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass was positively correlated with mean low temperature and extreme minimum temperature, whereas, in late summer, this parameter in Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass was positively correlated with relative humidity, and in creeping bentgrass was negatively correlated with mean high temperature, mean low temperature, and extreme maximum temperature. These results indicate that raising low temperatures is favorable for perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass in early summer, whereas, in late summer, the lowering of high temperatures proves to be beneficial for creeping bentgrass, and raising relative humidity is conducive to the growth of Kentucky bluegrass and creeping bentgrass. These findings will contribute to improving the selection and management of turfgrasses on golf courses and sports fields.

In this study, We were investigated the interrelationships between epilithic diatom communities and physico-chemical factors at Banbyeon stream, Gilan stream and Nakdong river in the Lake Imha basin from September 2008 to June 2009. Epilithic diatom communities were identified a total 120 taxa which were composed to 2 Orders, 3 Suborders, 7 Families, 22 Genera, 108 species and 12 varieties. The dominant species were 4 taxa, which were Achnanthes alteragracillima, A. convergens, A. minutissima and Fragilaria construens var. venter during the investigation periods at 8 sites. Correlation coefficients between epilithic diatom communities and physicochemical factors were from -0.94 to 0.97. Correlation coefficients (r) between turbidity, QHEI and density, species number and indices of diatom communities were from -0.18 to 0.42 which was showed lower values than the values of chemical factors. Correlation coefficients (r) between QHEI and Epilithic diatom communities were showed the low values. Correlation coefficients (r) between TP and diatom indices (DAIpo, TDI) were 0.79 and 0.78, respectively. Therefore, epilithic diatom communities were greatly influenced by TP.

The genus Lespedeza belonging to Leguminosae is an annual or perennial herb, which has been used as a Chinese herbal medicine. Antioxidant activity on DPPH ((1,1)-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylenebenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals and the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoid were analyzed with 12 methanol extracts from six Lespedeza genus plants with different plant parts. The highest content of total polyphenol was detected in the leaves of Lespedeza$\times$robusta (194.6 mg GAE/g), while the highest content of total flavonoid existed in the aerial part of Lespedeza thunbergii var. intermedia (47.9 mg QE/g). Generally, the amounts of polyphenol and flavonoid compounds were higher in the leaves than in the stems. The $SC_{50}$ value of DPPH radical scavenging activity ranged from 10.16 to 90.94 ppm, of which the strongest activity was determined in the leaves of L. robusta. Most ABTS radical scavenging activities from the investigated methanol extracts were higher than that of L-ascorbic acid, implying the excellent antioxidant activity. The radical scavenging activity in this study showed high correlation with the amount of total polyphenol rather than that of total flavonoid. These data suggest that the methanol extracts from these Lespedeza spp. could be potential candidates for natural antioxidants.

A total of 192 Korean landraces were investigated for the comparison of each other as useful germplasm to organic farming and examined correlation between quantitative traits. Almost Korean landraces were classified into medium-heading variety and average days from seeding to heading was 111.1 days. Plant height and culm length were longer about 20∼40cm than general Japonica cultivar. Average width of leaf blade and average length of panicle were 1.3cm and 22.4cm, respectively, Average number of panicles per plant was 10.0 and almost varieties showed low tilling habit. Average length/width ratio of brown rice was 1.7 and several varieties were long grain type and average 1,000 grain weight was 21.6g. In correlation coefficient among quantitative traits, positive significant correlations were observed between culm length and leaf width, days from seeding to heading, but negative correlations were observed between days from seeding to heading and 1000 grain weight. 27.1% of Korean landraces showed weak and lodging degree in culm strength and 3.6% of total varieties showed purple margin on leaf blade and leaf sheath. In leaf blade angle and flag leaf angle, erect type was 46.9% and 10.9%, respectively. 24.0% of total varieties showed the slow and late degree of leaf senescence. The rate of awned type, waxy type and brown seed coat were 74.5%, 20.3% and 4.2%, respectively. The color of stigma, spikelet, apiculus and awn showed diverse color such as white, brown, red and purple.

The concentrations of dissolved vitamin $B_{12}$, thiamine and biotin in the water of Gyokpo coast, were determined by microbiological assay methods. Also the relations between the distribution of B group vitamin and other environmental factors were studied. Vitamin $B_{12}$ was assayed with Euglena gracilis strain Z, thiamine with Cryptococous albidus and biotin with Achromo bacter sp. yH-51. It was found that the concentration of B group vitamin in the water of Gyokpo coast were normal level : vitamin $B_{12}$; 1.36-3.95 ng/l, thiamine ; u-0.4 ng/l and biotin; 1.40-14.60 ng/l. The concentration of B group vitamin was high in summer than in winter. In the water of Gyokpo coast during summer, B group vitamin occurred slightly lower level than normal, the concentration suficiently neccessary for phytoplankton development. The concentration of biotin was positively correlated with abundance of phytoplankton, but not aerobic heterotrophic bacteria. It was suggested that the concentration of biotin in water might be much more influenced with the growth of phytoplankton and any environmental factors than bacteria and the other vitamin, especially.

Heritability and genetic correlation for growth traits in Duroc pig breed were estimated using Bayesian method via Gibbs sampling. The data set consisted of 3,526 performance records at National Institute of Animal Science. For estimating those parameters using Gibbs sampling, 5,000 cycles of ‘burn-in’ period were discarded among a total of 55,000 samples. Out of the remaining 50,000 samples, 5,000 estimates by each parameter were retained and used for analyses to avoid any correlation among adjacent samples. The growth traits considered in this study were average daily gain at 30kg(ADG1), average daily gain at 90kg(ADG2), backfat thickness(BF), days to 90kg(D90) and feed conversion ratio(FC). The estimated heritabilities and their standard deviation using Gibbs sampler were 0.43±0.04, 0.49±0.038, 0.31±0.040, 0.48±0.039 and 0.62±0.086, respectively. Genetic correlations were －0.02, －0.13, －0.55 and －0.15 between ADG1 with ADG2, BF, D90 and FC, respectively, 0.16, －0.73, －0.32 between ADG2 with BF, D90 and FC respectively, 0.01, －0.08 between BF with D90, FC, respectively, and 0.23 between D90 with FC.
