This experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of dietary supplementation of granite porphyry (GP) on growth performances and meat sensory quality in commercial broiler chicks. A total of four hundred-fifty 5-day-old male broiler chicks were divided into 15 pens and fed one of five experimental diets for 5 weeks; 0% GP with antibiotics (Control), 1% GP with or without antibiotics, and 2% GP with or without antibiotics. Final body weight and daily weight gain of all GP supplemented groups were slightly higher than those of control. Feed conversion rate was improved in GP 1 % supplemented groups, although there was no significant difference. Feeding antibiotics in addition to GP did not influence the growth parameters. Relative weights of liver and abdominal fat tended to be reduced in broiler chickens fed GP supplemented diets. Feeding of 2% GP diet resulted in a significant improvement in meat sensory quality in terms of taste and tenderness(P < 0.05), but the effect of the 1% GP on meat sensory quality was not significant. The results of this study indicate that GP could be used as a favorable feed additive for production of sensory-enhanced broiler meats.

This study was carried out to investigate the influence of light intensity on the growth of Korean white pine (Pinus koraiensis) seedlings. The seedlings were grown under four different relative light intensities: 100%, 63%, 37%, and 19% of full sunlight by covering with saran screen on seed bed. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The highest shoot elongation was found at 37% in relative light intensity (RLI) plot, and the best growth in root, seedling length and diameter increment appeared at 100% on RLI plot. Contribution rates of shading to growth in shoot elongation, root growth, seedling length, and diameter increment were 9.3%, 26.2%, 21.0%, and 48.7%, respectively. 2. The greatest number of one-year-old needle fascicle was found at 100% in RLI plot, whereas that of two-year-old needle fascicle appeared at 37% in RLI plot. The contribution rate of the light intensity to number of needle fascicle was 3.9% and factor of leaf age contributed to number of needle fascicle in 27.8%. The length of needles grown under different light intensities varied with needle ages. The longest length of new needles appeared at 37% in RLI plot, but old needles were not clear in influence of light intensity. The contribution rate to needle length by the light intensity was 2.5%. 3. The heaviest value of the fresh and dry weight of seedlings appeared at 100% of RLI plot then decreased with light intensity. The contribution rates to fresh and dry weight by the shading were 38% and 7.6% respectively. 4. The largest value of the dry weight of needles appeared at 100% of RLI plot and then decreased with light intensity. The contribution rates to dry weight of needles by the light intensity was 13.18%. 5. The values of T/R ratio increased with decreased light intensity and the contribution rate was 7.0%. 6. Positive correlation and linear regressions were recognized between dry weight of leaf and other factors (dry weight of shoot, root, seedling and diameter increment).

Biopolymer based on microbial ${\beta}$-glucan and xanthan gum is a rising geotechnical material that can enhance the cohesion between soil particles and consequently reduce soil erosion. Recently, biopolymer is proposed to utilize for the riverbank strengthening. As an effort of the ecological assessment of biopolymer application in civil engineering, this study examined the effects of biopolymer on seed germination and growth of nine plant species inhabiting in the Korean riverside. Responses of above-ground growth to the biopolymer differed among plant species. One species grew less but others maintained their growth when plants were grown in the soil with biopolymer. In contrast, root grew more vigorously and root/shoot ratio decreased in the biopolymer across testing plant species. These results indicate that biopolymer application on the river bank likely stimulate root growth of native plant species, which, in turn, possibly reinforces riverbank. Species specific responses of above-ground growth implies that ecological effects of biopolymer application would depend on the species composition of the ecosystem.

The effect of packaging materials on the quality and physiological activity of Angelica acutiloba leaves during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 20 days and after being transferred to room temperature for 2 days was studied. The experiment was conducted using three packaging materials: the corrugated box (control); corrugated box with $20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner; and corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper $+20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner. Changes in weight, color, aroma, overall visual quality, antioxidant activity, and total flavonoids were investigated. Based on the result, the treatments using corrugated box with $20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner and the corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper $+20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner, were effective in minimizing weight loss, and maintaining external color and overall quality as compared to corrugated box only (control). The corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper $+20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner was more effective in maintaining antioxidant activity and total flavonoids than other treatments. Prolonging the freshness using corrugated box with paraffin wax coated paper $+20{\mu}m$ HDPE perforated film liner could increase the marketability of Angelica acutiloba leaves in the domestic market.

This study was investigated the changes in quality of peeled chestnut according to peeling method, including abrasion and knife, and 3 kinds of storage temperatures. The weight loss rate of peeled chestnut during storage period was observed in all treatment groups, peeling methods showed no difference of the loss. However, the moisture content of peeled chestnut during storage in all treatments showed a tendency to decrease. Moisture content of the abrasion peeled chestnut in all treatments was higher than that of the knife peeled chestnut. In the case of a, b, and ${\Delta}E$ value of peeled chestnut chromaticity increased during storage in all treatments, whereas, L values decreased during storage. But, browning of abrasion peeled chestnut was higher than that of the knife peeled chestnut. The hardness of the abrasion and knife peeled chestnuts were the highest in $-1^{\circ}C$ storage, soluble solid content was decreased with storage time in all treatments, but showed a tendency to increase within 24 days. Palatability and texture of peeled chestnuts decreased in all treatments during storage period, 15 days after storage decreased rapidly. Thus, results showed that peeled chestnuts stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and $2^{\circ}C$ were rapidly decreased in the quality after 15 days, whereas, peeled chestnuts stored at $-1^{\circ}C$ slowly decrease in the fruit quality. It can be recommended that chestnut in vacuum film is good to maintain at $-1^{\circ}C$ storage for 15 days. Also, if we can reduce the browning of abrasion peeled chestnut, we will produce peeled chestnut of high quality.

This study investigated the effectsof whiteness and packing conditions on the quality characteristics of milled rice during storage at $25^{\circ}C$. Three kinds of packing materials (kraft paper sealed polyethylene and perforated polyethylene) were used to pack milled rice of different whiteness grades (36, 38, 40 and 42). The moisture content and weight of milled rice packed in kraft paper dropped very rapidly compared to values from milled rice packed in polyethylene because of high gas exchange through the paper. On the other hand, the increase in fat acidity of milled rice packed in kraft paper was less than that of milled rice packed in polyethylene because the moisture content of paper-packed rice fell rapidly. The overall quality of cooked rice rose with whiteness, and dropped with extended storage. The overall eating quality of milled rice paced in perforated polyethylene was bestwhen rice was prepared for the table after 8 weeks of storage.

For the development of kiwifruit storage method applicable to farm level, several quality indicator of kiwifruit(Actinidia chinensis Planch.) were measured during storage at modified atmosphere(MA) conditions(0.04, 0.06, 0.08 and 0.10 mm PE Film). The results obtained from the experiment were as follows. The highest firmness was marked by the kiwifruit kept in 0.06 mm thick film bag and the lowest weight loss was shown in 0.10 mm thick film bag. The largest production of respiratory rate was occured after storage for 30 days. The concentration of $O_2\;and\;CO_2$ in 0.06 mm thick film bag was 2.6% and 3.2% after storage for 60 days, respectively. It could be concluded that the optimum PE film thickness for MA storage of kiwifruit was 0.06 mm.

This study was carried out to find out safety disposal methods of waste CCA treated wood. The heavy metals of remnant were analyzed after combustion of CCA treated wood at different temperatures. Arsenic volatilized temperature was detected. The removal rate of heavy metals by acid in the ash were examined. Through this study, we could conclude that in order to protect volatilize arsenic, combustion of CCA treated wood should be do under the $300^{\circ}C$. But when CCA treated wood combustion under $300^{\circ}C$, it's weight-loss rate was $55\%$, so land reclamation dependence will be increased. When CCA treated wood combustion at high temperature, the land reclamation dependence could be reduced, but the arsenic that volatilize into the atmosphere should be captured. When it bums with high temperature, the ash contains lots of copper and chromium, so removal of heavy metals should be conducted.

This study was earned out to develop storage method for the keeping freshness with various packing film(Wrap, PE, PP and AF) and storage temperature(l, 3 and 6$^{\circ}C$) of Pholiota adiposa(CBPM-no6) mushroom. The rate of weight loss packed with Wrap film was 3.17％, but AF film was 1.08％ after 18days. As the storage periods, lightness and yellowness of mushroom packed with PE, PP and AF were slightly increased, while Wrap film was decreased. The color of original raw mushroom preserved 3days using Wrap film and 18 days using PE, PP and AF. As storage temperature high, the rigidity of mushroom decreased. Rigidity of mushroom packed with AF film was less change compared with the other film. Freshness degree of mushroom(refer to Minamide method) could preserve for 3 days using Wrap, 6 days using PE, 9 days using PP and 15days using AF film at 1$^{\circ}C$.

본 발표에서는 Transformable Reflective Telescope(TRT kit)의 새로운 버전을 소개한다. TRT kit는 기본형인 뉴턴식 반사망원경에서 부경 교체를 통해 카세그레인식, 그레고리식으로 간단하게 변형 할 수 있는 광학 실험장치이다. 본 장치는 주로 망원경 교육이나 광학계 개발에 필요한 실험에 활용된다. 모듈화 설계를 통해서 여러 종류의 광학계를 쉽게 탈착하여 다양한 실험을 할 수 있다. 광기계부는 정밀하게 제작된 알루미늄 프로파일과 Isogrid구조를 채택하여 경량화 구조로 설계되었다. 이러한 경량부품들을 통해 이전 버전보다 50~70%의 중량 감소율을 달성하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 경량화된 뉴턴식 TRT kit는 이전 버전과 비교해서 자체 하중에 의한 최대 구조 변형이 0.11mm에서 0.023mm로 감소하였다. 부경 지지대 설계에는 자체 하중으로 인한 변형을 최소화하기 위해 트러스 (Truss) 구조가 도입되었다. 부경부의 자체 하중으로 인한 변형은 기존의 80㎛에서 21㎛로 감소하였다. 또한, 십자 레이저 정렬 장치가 추가되어 뉴턴식과 카세그레인식에서 공차 1.5' 이내로 광학계 정렬이 가능하다.
