본 연구는 필자가 미국 Oregon 주의 수산업사를 조사하던 중 1940년대부터 시작된 미국으로 이민 한 중국인들이 미국 서부 수산업에 미친 영향이 거대하다는 것을 발견하고, 이에 관련된 문헌을 찾아 최초 미국 서부(특히, California 주)에 이민하기 시작했던 중국 이민자들이 미국에서 수산업 활동을 시작한 배경과 그에 따른 영향 등을 살펴본 것이다. 중국인이 미국에 이민하기 시작한 배경은 두 가지가 있다. 하나는 국내적인 요인으로서 중국에서의 경제적 빈곤과 정치적 핍박이었고, 다른 하나는 국외적인 요인으로서 금캐기가 가능하다는 소식 등 미국 생활에 대한 동경이었다. 중국인의 미국 이민사에서 독특한 점의 하나는 중국 남부지 방에 위치한 광동성 지방민들이 절대적인 비중(90% 이상)을 차지하고 있다는 것이다. 가장 큰 이유는 광동성은 일찌기 외국문물이 드나드는 곳이어서 인근 광동성 지방민들은 다른 지방민보다 외국소식을 쉽게 접할 수 있었기 때 문이었다. 미국에 도착한 광동성 지방민들은 쉽게 직업을 구할수 없는 처지이 되자 그들이 익숙하게 알고 있는 바다생활에 뛰어들었고, 마침내는 미국 서부에서 진취적인 어업인이 되었다. 따라서 서부에서 최초의 상업적 어업인이 되었으며, 미국 서부에서 시작한 중국인의 수산업은 점차 다른 주로 퍼져 나갔다는 기록은 중국인이 미국 전역에서 최초의 상업적 어업인이었음을 알게 한다. 최초의 중국인 어촌은 1854년 San Francisco의 Rincon Point에 세워졌으며, 25척의 어선과 150여명의 주민이 살았다. 그들이 사용한 어구ㆍ어업은 통발, 정치망, 선망, 낚시, 연승 등이었으며, 중국풍의 어선과 어구를 직접 만들어 새우, 철갑상어, 대구, 우럭, 넙치, 게, 가재, 전복 등을 어획했다. 1888년에는 San Francisco 전역에 20개의 어촌이 형성되었고, 2천여명의 어업종사자가 있었다. 1900년부터는 점차 그 수가 줄기 시작하였다. 가장 크고 오래 지속된 어업은 새우어업은 1860년대부터 1940년 중반까지 계속되었으며, 이 어업에 의해 새우가 인근 지역의 보편적인 식품으로 자리하게 되었다. 인디언에 의해 단순한 장식품으로 사용되던 전복은 중국인에 의해 그 맛이 알려지게 되었고, 유럽이나 미국 동부로 팔려 나갔다. 상어 또한 중국인에 의해 먹기 시작하였으며, 내장에서 뺀 기름이 사용되기 시작하였다. 게를 잡기 위한 통발과 시장형성으로 San Francisco부두의 많은 부분이 차지되었다. 1880년대부터 시작된 해조류의 채취는 처음에는 인디언들에 의해 시작되었으나, 곧 중국인들에 의해 본격화되었다. 광동성 지방민들의 초속식품의 하나인 오징어를 잡기 위해 중국인들은 배를 만들어 야간에 횃불을 밝혔다. 오징어는 곧 San Francisco 주민은 물론 태평양 연안주와 미국 전역에 있는 중국식당에서 수요가 지속되었다. 중국인들은 1849년부터 연어를 상업적으로 잡기 시작하였으며, Washington주에서 시작되어 Oregon, British Columbia, Alaska로 퍼진 통조림 공장은 주로 중국인의 노동력에 의해 운영되었다. 위와 같이 중국인들이 미국 수산업 분야에서 크게 활동하자 미국인들은 그들의 수산업 활동을 제재 또는 통제하고자 일정한 납세를 명시한 각종 법률, 특히 The Chinese Exclusion Act 등을 제정하였다. 미국 서부에서 중국인의 수산업은 미국인의 법적 제재, 중국인의 다른 직업으로의 이직 등으로 1940년대를 끝으로 막을 내렸다.

Strong alkaline electrolyzed water which is produced in cathode by electrolyzing the solution where electrolytes (NaCl, $K_2CO_3$ etc.) are added in diaphragm electrolytic cell, is eco-friendly and has cleaning effects. So, it is viewed as a substitution of chemical cleaner. In addition, strong alkaline electrolyzed water is being used by some Japanese automobile and precision parts manufacturing industries. When strong alkaline electrolyzed water is produced by using diaphragm electrolytic cell, it is necessarily produced at the anode side. Since strong acidic electrolyzed water produced is discarded when its utilization cannot be found, production efficiency of electrolyzed water is consequently decreased. Also, there is a weakness electrolytic efficiency is decreasing due to the pollution of diaphragm. In order to overcome this, non-diaphragm all-in-one electrolytic cell integrated with electrode reaction chamber and dilution chamber was applied. Strong alkaline electrolyzed water was produced for different composition of electrolytes, and their properties and characteristics were identified. In comparing the properties between strong alkaline electrolyzed water produced in diaphragm electrolytic cell and that produced in all-in-one electrolytic cell, the differences in ORP and chlorine concentration were found. In emulsification test to confirm surface-active capability, similar results were obtained and strong alkaline electrolyzed water produced in non-diaphragm all-in-one electrolytic cell was identified to be useable as a cleaner like strong alkaline electrolyzed water produced in diaphragm electrolytic cell. Strong alkaline electrolyzed water produced in non-diaphragm all-in-one electrolytic cell is thought to have sterilizing power because it has active chlorine which is different from strong alkaline electrolyzed water produced in diaphragm electrolytic cell.

Gamma spectral results for macroalgae samples taken from the environment of Ulchin nuclear power plants in Korea (east coast), showed 766 keV peaks, which were identified as $^{95}Nb$ by several research institutes. After the enhancement of liquid radioactive waste disposal facility at Ulchin NPP site, the $^{95}Nb$ amount in the liquid radioactive waste outflow has drastically reduced, but the expected reduction in $^{95}Nb$ specific activity from environmental samples did not actually show up on gamma spectroscopy. Detailed re-investigation revealed that along with 766 keV peak, other peaks (63, 92 and 1001 keV) from $^{234}Th-^{234}mPa$ decay series were also detected on spectroscopy, and that the measured half lives of the four peaks were very close to known half life of $^{234}Th-^{234}mPa$ decay series, which is 24.1 day. The measured gamma yield ratios of 766 keV peak to 1001 peak were very close to known ratio 0.35 for $^{234}mPa$. It is concluded that 766 keV peaks on gamma spectroscopy of Ulchin NPP environmental samples were mainly from $^{234}mPa$, which is one of naturally occurring radionuclides.

HS-1580 series (HS-1580, HS-1581, HS-1582) can produce anti-imflammatory effects were synthesized from the marine algae extraction in 2,3,6-tribromo-4,5-dihydroxy benzyl methyl ether (TDB). Raw 264.7 cells were pre-treated with $1{\mu}g/{\mu}l$ lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and later treated with HS-1580 series. These cells of inflammatory mediators were tested as well. Nitric oxide (NO) is related to autoimmune disease and is produced by inducible NOS (iNOS). When treated with HS-1580 series, the product of NO will reduce in a dose-dependent manner. HS-1580 series significantly inhibit the iNOS protein expression. Cyclooxygenase (COX) involves with the various physiologic events and catalyzes in prostaglandin. HS-1580 series also inhibit the COX-2 protein expression as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines production such as tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}\;(TNF-{\alpha})\;and\;interluekin-1{\alpha]\;(IL-1{\beta})$. These upcoming results suggest that HS-1580 series have anti-inflammatory efforts in Raw 264.7 cells by inhibiting such as iNOS, COX-2, $TNF-{\alpha}\;and\;IL-1{\beta}$ as inflammatory mediators.

$\beta$-1,3-glucanase from Pyrococcus furiosus was applied for the saccharification of laminarin, which is a major oligo-saccharide component of brown algae, and the reaction mixture produced from laminarin was utilized as a substrate for alcohol fermentation using yeast. To prepare the recombinant $\beta$-1,3-glucanase, a $\beta$-1,3-glucanase gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified. Laminarin was degraded to an oligo- and mono-saccharide, such as glucose, after reaction with the purified recombinant $\beta$-1,3-glucanase, and the products after enzymatic treatment were confirmed by TLC and HPLC analysis. Decomposed laminarin after enzyme reaction was only added to the medium as a C-source for yeast alcohol production reaction. 0.3% alcohol production was detected from the cultured broth by gas chromatography after 48 hr of incubation. Further evaluation for optimal conditions of saccharification and alcohol fermentation can be suggested, as well as the possibility of using this enzymatic method to produce ethanol using laminarin.

The purpose of this study was to investigate fast food consumption, awareness of fast food and food habit of middle school students in Wonju area according to their intake frequency of fast foods. Subjects were categorized into 3 groups according to intake frequency of fast foods : frequent users($\geq$ 1 times/week, 29.5%) users(2~3 times/month, 50.7%), non-users($\leq$ 1 time/month, 19.8%). As for the purpose of eating fast food, many ate fast food between meals. The most favorite fast food was chicken regardless of intake frequency, followed by pizza, hamburger, the reason being that it tasted good. Regarding if there was any room for improvement, the largest number of the students asked for inexpensive price, irrespective of fast food intake frequency. Compared to users, non-users intake more diverse foods, vegetables, dairy products, fruits, protein foods and seaweed. Users or frequent users of fast food more felt drowsy, cold in the hand and foot, rough skin symptoms than non-users. In conclusion, frequent consumption of fast foods can lead unbalanced diet intakes for middle school students, and those who consumed fast foods frequently showed undesirable food habits in their daily meal.

The purpose of this study was to conduct a questionnaire survey for total 503 high school female students in Wonju area, Kangwon province, and thereby determine any potential effectiveness of their trials to reduce weight in their satisfaction with their own figure, daily living practices related to weight control, nutrition knowledge and dietary behaviors. Out of all respondents, it was found that 284 girl students(58.4%) ever tried to reduce weight, and both trial group(trying to reduce weight) and no-trial group were much interested in weight control(94.7% vs. 60.7%). But 85.2% of trial group and 50.3% of no-trial group were dissatisfied at their figure. It was found that the percentage of trial group practicing regular exercise was higher than that of no-trial group doing so(21.8% vs. 5.5%). Subjects scored 14.3 out of 20 on a nutrition knowledge scale, but trial group scored significantly higher points(14.5) than no-trial group(13.9)(p<0.01). In particular, it was notable that trial group showed higher rate of correct answer in certain items such as balanced diet and knowledge about weight control. It was found that our all respondents showed moderate dietary behaviors, which is demonstrated by their mean score of 31.3 in dietary behaviors(possible score: $15{\sim}45$). Notably, it was found that there were problems exposed in their dietary velocity, intake of various diets and intake frequency for each food group(dairy products, marine plants and vegetative oil and fat). And it was found that the percentage of trial group taking diet with vegetative oil was higher than that of no-trial group.

The growth inhibitory effects on human cancer cell lines provide useful information regarding critical cellular targets. Reports on cytotoxicity of Gloiopeltis furcata (GF) to human cancer cell lines are conflicting. This study was performed to investigate the effects of cytotoxicity and quinone reductase activity of Gloiopeltis furcata on the human cancer cells. The four partition layers of methanol extracts (GFM) which are hexane (GFMH), methanol (GFMM), butanol (GFMB) and aquous (GFMA) were screened for their cytotoxic effects on HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7, HT-29, and normal liver cell lines. The GFMM showed the strongest growth inhibition effect on all cell lines we used. the GFMM showed the highest induction activity of quinone reductase on HepG2 cells among the other partition layers.

This study investigated arsenic speciation and risk assesment in 30 samples of hijiki purchased from local market in 10 Korean cities. The mean arsenic concentration of the hijiki samples was 45.65 mg/kg (dryness; moisture content of 91.1${\pm}$1.6%), and the major arsenic compound was arsenate [As(V)]. The concentrations of As(V) and As(III), as inorganic arsenic compounds, were detected to be 40.36 mg/kg and 0.37 mg/kg, respectively, and made up 88.6% (40.46 mg/kg) of the arsenic in the hijiki. Among the samples, the highest inorganic arsenic concentration was identified at 9.19 mg/kg (wet), and for an adult with a body weight of 60 kg was within an acceptable level as 0.7% (6.43 mg/60 kg/week) when compared with the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) (900 mg/60 kg/week), and would be considered safe with respect to health-hazardous effects.
