Coarse woody debris (CWD), which is a component of the forest ecosystem, plays a major role in forest energy flow and nutrient cycling. In particular, CWD isolates carbon for a long time and is important in terms of slowing the rate of carbon released from the forest to the atmosphere. Therefore, this study measured the physiochemical characteristics and respiration rate ($R_{CWD}$) of CWD for Larix kaempferi and Pinus rigida in temperate forests in central Korea. In summer 2018, CWD samples from decay class (DC) I to IV were collected in the 14 forest stands. $R_{CWD}$ and physiochemical characteristics were measured using a closed chamber with a portable carbon dioxide sensor in the laboratory. In both species, as CWD decomposition progressed, the density ($D_{CWD}$) of the CWD decreased while the water content ($WC_{CWD}$) increased. Furthermore, the carbon concentrations did not significantly differ by DC, whereas the nitrogen concentration significantly increased and the C/N ratio decreased. The respiration rate of L. kaempferi CWD increased significantly up to DC IV, but for P. rigida it increased to DC II and then unchanged for DC II-IV. Accordingly, except for carbon concentration, all the measured characteristics showed a significant correlation with $R_{CWD}$. Multiple linear regression showed that $WC_{CWD}$ was the most influential factor on $R_{CWD}$. $WC_{CWD}$ affects $R_{CWD}$ by increasing microbial activity and is closely related to complex environmental factors such as temperature and light conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to study their correlation and estimate the time-series pattern of CWD moisture.

생버섯의 환경기체조절저장을 위한 적정 기체조성을 예측하기 위하여 팽이버섯과 느타리 버섯을 대상으로 호흡특성치를 측정 및 모델링한 결과 두 버섯의 호흡속도는 환경기체조성에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 버섯의 산소소비속도와 이산화탄소발생속도를 반응표면분석한 결과 느타리버섯의 이산화탄소발생속도를 제외하고는 $R^2$=0.9이상의 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 반응표면 분석결과를 이용하여 두 버섯의 적정 기체조성은 팽이버섯의 경우 1~2.5% $O_2$와 10.5-11.5% $CO_2$, 느타리 버섯의 경우에는 2.5~4.5% $O_2$와 11.5~13%$CO_2$가 적정 기체조성 것으로 예측되었으며 일반적인 생버섯의 저장기체조건에 포함되는 농도였다. 따라서 예측된 조건에서 생버섯의 환경기체조절 저장이 가능 할 것으로 판단되었다.

Biofeedback training to increase the amplitude of respiratory sinus arrhythmia(RSA) maximally increases the amplitude of heart rate variability(HRV) only in respiratory rate at approximately 0.1Hz. To perform this task, people slow their breathing to this rate to point where resonance occur between respiratory sinus arrhythmia(RSA) and oscillation that naturally occur at this rate, probably triggered in part by baroreflex activity. The biofeedback technique allows each individual to breathe at a rate that is specifically adapted to the rhythms of his or her own body. A manual is presented for carrying out this method.

This study is to investigate the effects of temperature, light and water deficit on apparent phytosynthesis rate (Pn) and dark respiration rate(Rd) of leaves in the series of studies dealing with primary productivity of korean white pine forest. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The light saturation for Pn occured at about 40 Klux, and light compensation at 1.0 to 1.3 Klux. 2. The Pn of current leaves was highest, and Pn was decreased with increasing leaf age. 3. The Rd on the response of temperature in February was about two times value in all of the temperature ranges as compared with the ones in August. 4. The incipient water stress, above which Pn and Rd declined from 100%, was different for Pn(-10bar). The high water stress required to reduce Pn to nearly 0%, at -24 bar, but Rd was only 43% at -24 bar. 5. The optimum temperature range for Pn showed about 15 to $18^{\circ}C$ in February and 23 to $26^{\circ}C$ in August.

This paper presents a novel respiration rate estimation method based on joint amplitude and time of arrival (TOA) using impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar signals. Through analysis of the affect of body-rocking, it is shown that body-rocking information does not distort the respiration rate and exists at integer multiples of the body-rocking rate from the respiration rate. Based on the analysis, the convolution of the temporal sequence of the maximum amplitude and that of the TOA is proposed. The analysis results show that the frequency components of respiration are improved more than 10dB compared with those obtained using other existing methods.

This experiment was conducted in order to study the physiological characteristics of Sedum takevimense in different moisture conditions. The photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency and the respiratory rate were determined by using a photable photosynthesis system. According to the results, the best illumination range and moisture range were explicitly selected. The highest photosynthetic rate was at $600{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, and after this value, the trend showed a reduction. When the moisture was 11.31%, the photosynthetic capacity and water use efficiency reached maximum value, but the respiratory rate reached maximum value at 7.91%. According to the measured values, the best illumination range was $600{\sim}1,200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and the best moisture range was 7.09~11.31%.

Velocity-type repisratory air flow transducer measures dynamic pressure converted from air velocity based on the we1l-known Bernoulli's principle. It requires multiple velocity sampling holes on the flow plane. Measurement error theoretica1ly estimated by computer simulation was demonstrated to significantly reduce by unequally locating the velocity sampling holes. The flow plane was divided into multiple equi-area rings and the sampling holes were located on the circles also equally dividing each ring's area, which decreased measurement error down to 1/5 of the simple equi-radius ring division method. Also, less than 1 ％ relative error was estimated with 4 or more sampling holes. The present technique was less sensitive by <1/2 to the velocity profile change compared to the euqi-radius sampling. Therefore, the present unequal distance velocity sampling technique should be of great use to design the structure of the velocity-type respiratory air flow transducer.

신선농산물의 호흡에 영향을 미치는 인자를 들면 품목의 종류, 품종, 숙도, 저장온도, 산소농도, 이산화탄소 농도 등이다. 산소농도와 이산화탄소농도는 신선 농산물의 호흡속도에 영향을 주는 외적인 요인으로 분류되며 이들 인자들은 제어하기가 용이하며 모델링을 통하여 함수관계를 도출할 수도 있다. 따라서 환경기체조성을 변화시킨 상태에서 측정된 신선농산물의 호흡속도자료는 포장 및 저장을 위한 중요한 물성특성치로 이용된다. (중략)
