We developed a simple model to predict emergence time and emergence rate of southern type garlic using the daily mean temperature. Emergence rate of garlic was decreased and emergence time was delayed on higher temperature than optimum temperature of $12.7^{\circ}C$. In the model, firstly daily emergence rate was calculated using a beta function to input daily mean temperature, then the percentage of garlic emergence was calculated using a nonlinear model with accumulated emergence rate. The model was good to describe the experimental data of growth cabinet. Also it can explain well the experimental data using temperature gradient tunnel, designed for verification of model performance. But there are 5 days of deviation between estimated and measured time of garlic emergence on the field experiment. More research is needed to develop an advanced model considering other factors, such as soil moisture.

This study was carried out to investigate carcass grade of pigs according to gender, feed intake, backfat thickness, carcass weight, etc. Data from a total of 26,983 heads in 5 farms were collected. The results obtained were as follows; The difference was significantly found in carcass quality grade between barrows and gilts (p<0.001). The meat grade $1^+$ was high in gilts, but meat grade 1 was high in barrows, respectively. The carcass weight of 85.8 kg was lightly shown significantly (p<0.05) in group I taken little quantity of feed consumption. However, that of 89.5 kg was heavily shown in group IV taken plenty of feed consumption. Meat grade 2 was significantly (p<0.001) high ratio in group of backfat thickness with less than 15 mm (67.5%). However, the ratio for the grade 1 was high in group of 15~19 mm. The ratio for the meat grade 2 was highly shown in group of carcass weight with more than 85 kg (54.3%). On the other hand, that of grade 1 was highly shown in group of 78~84 kg. In conclusion, pigs for marketing to enhance high quality have been appropriately raised with the optimum system in consideration of feed intake, carcass weight, backfat thickness, etc.

To understand on-site feeding traits of Noctiluca scintillans with unprecedented high abundances around Dokdo in spring, 2014, the composition and abundance of food items in the digestive vacuole of the species were analyzed. Abundances of N. scintillans ranged from 4,328~17,791 inds.m^-3 around Dokdo during the study. The incidence of preyed items in the vacuole of N. scintillans ranged by averaged 32% (24~50%) in the surface waters around Dokdo. Diverse preyed items consisted of fecal pellet, protozoans, pollen, diatoms, dinoflagellates, copepods and ichtyoplankton, while fecal pellets were dominantly fed by N. scintillans (43%) and next by protozoans (19%), pollen (18%), diatoms (7%) and dinoflagellates (4%). Fecal pellet, protozoans and pollen were relatively preferred by N. scintillans compared to diatoms, dinoflagellates and ichtyoplankton based on the incidence in the food vacuoles. Present results indicated that high abundance of N. scintillans found around Dokdo was likely associated with non-phytoplankton items rather than previously well-known diatoms as prey during the study.

Pneumonia is one of the important diseases in commercial pig. In order to delineate the relationships with pneumonia and productions traits, five different economic traits including carcass weight(CW), backfat thickness(BF), meat quality(MQ), carcass characteristics(CC) and pork belly thickness(PB) were measured in 6,362 commercial pigs. Significant differences were observed in all the traits with pneumonia(P<0.01). Carcass weight and backfat thickness decreased significantly as the symptom of pneumonia was severed (P<0.01). Also, when the pneumonia was severed, the carcass characteristics and meat quality became worse compared with normal unaffected animals(P<0.01). In case of pork belly thickness, the significant decrease was observed in pneumonia infected animals compared with normal animals(P<0.01). Based on this study, the pneumonia infection affects most of the important economic traits in pigs and it is ultimately needed to pay more attention to prevent this disease.

Seed coat of sword bean (Canavalia gladiata) is very thick and hard, it is difficult to absorb water during germination and it requires much time that cotyledon come out from seed coat since seminal root appearanced. Therefore this experiment was carried out to increase the germination rate by easing water absorption through mechanical scarification on seed coat. Non-scarification seed did not germinated at 7 days after treatment but scarification seed showed germination rate of 98%. Therefore mechanical scarification of seed coat was increased germination rate. Non-scarification seed absorbed less than 10% water of dry weight at 8 hours after treatment but scarification seed absorbed about 90% water at 7 hours after treatment and more than 150% water at 8 hours and swelled about 1.4-1.5 times in length and width of seed. Germination rate of scarification seed was high under high temperature and it was 96% and 93% at $25^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The rate of cotyledon emergence on clay loam soil was the highest among bed soils. Soaked seed after mechanical scarification in distilled water was germinated faster than non-soaked seed on early in bed soil. The rate of cotyledon emergence was more than 92% at 9 days after sowing but non-scarification and soaked seed was germinated late and showed very low germination rate as 67%.

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of periodontopathic bacteria and resistance determinants from oral biofilm of children. Subgingival dental plaque was isolated from 87 healthy children, and PCR was performed to determine the presence of 5 periodontal pathogens including P. gingivalis, T. forsythia, T. denticola, F. nucleatum, A. actinomycetemcomitans, and nine resistance genes including tet(Q), tet(M), ermF, aacA-aphD, cfxA, $bla_{SHV}$, $bla_{TEM}$, vanA, mecA. 1. The prevalence of F. nucleatum, T. forsythia. and P. gingivalis was 95.4%, 55.2%, and 40.2%, respectively. In addition. the prevalence of A. actinomycetemc omitans was 5.7%, while T. denticola was 3.4%. 2. In analysis of antibiotic resistance determinants. cfxA, $bla_{TEM}$ and tet(M) were detected in all the samples tested. It was also found that the prevalence of tet(Q) showing tetracycline resistance. $bla_{SHV}$ associated with resistance to ${\beta}$-lactams, ermF exhibiting erythromycin resistance, and, vanA resulting vancomycin resistance was 88.5%, 29.9% 87.4%, and 48.5%, respectively. The aacA-aphD gene showing resistance to aminoglycosides and mecA gene harboring methicillin resistance exhibited the lowest prevalence with 9.2%. 3. In a correlation analysis between periodontopathic pathogens and antibiotic resistance determinants, it was found that there was a significant correlation between T. forsythia and $bla_{SHV}$. Also, P. gingivalis and vanA showed a correlation. Finally, tet(Q) and ermF showed a significant correlation (phi: 0.514) while mecA and vanA also showed a correlation(phi: 0.25).

This study was carried out to identify the effect of seed gathering time and after-ripening on Paeonia lactiflora Pall (PL) seed emergence, and to establish optimal seed gathering time and sowing time. We used two local cultivar of PL ; Punggi and Uisung. Seeds were gathered 6 times from 5th July to 25th August in 1992. The seeds of Punggi local cultivar were planted by the planting density of $10\;{\times}\;15cm$ after treatment of 7 ways ; without after-ripening, with after-ripening for 10, 20, 30 days without or with capsule. We investigated the change of 100 grains weight of PL seed by the passage of time and emergence rate after treatment. The seed weight of Punggi was heavier than that of Uisung and the seed weight was maximzed at 25th July both of the two, and then decreased by the passage of time. The seed emergence rate of Punggi gathered at 5th July was showed 7.8% and the seed emergence of Uisung was later 10 days than that of Punggi. The maximum emergence rate of two local cultivars was the highest in gathering the seeds on the 15th of August. In gathering the seeds without and with capsule, the emergence rate of seeds sowed with after-ripening was higher than that of seeds sowed immediately after gathering the seeds without after-ripening when the seeds gathered between 5th July and 5th August. In after-ripening with out and with capsule, the emergence rate of 10 days after-ripening seeds was less than that of 20 and 30 days after-ripening seeds after the seeds gathered on the 5th and 15th of July. Difference of the emergence rate of seeds by after-ripening time did not show when the seeds gathered after 25th July.
