Vacuum metal deposition(VMD) using gold and zinc is known as a very sensitive technique of developing latent fingerprints on nonporous surfaces by excellent malleability and ductility of gold. However, VMD produces empty print which cannot be identified. There is only presumption about the cause of occurrence of empty print, the exact cause is not known. In this study, we experiment on the freshness of fingerprints and sensitivity of techniques that are estimated as the factors causing empty print, based on this, we suggest cyanoacrylate fuming is effective to redevelop empty print.

Essential oil of five plants were screened for fumigation toxicity against Blattella germanica male adults. Among them, coriander oil showed $100\%$ fumigation toxicity against B. germanica male adults at 20 and $10{\mu}{\ell}/{\ell}$ (air) dose, respectively. Through the constituent analysis using GC and GC/MS, we confirmed that main constituents of coriander oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene ($6.1\%$), camphene ($1.1\%$), ${\beta}$-pinene ($0.5\%$), ${\beta}$-myrcene ($0.8\%$), limonene ($2.5\%$), ${\gamma}$-terpinene ($4.5\%$), ${\rho}$-cymene ($1.8\%$), ${\alpha}$-terpinolene ($0.5\%$), camphor ($4.9\%$), linalool ($70.5\%$), ${\alpha}$-tepineol ($0.7\%$), geranyl acetate ($2.8\%$) and geraniol ($1.4\%$). Among them, ${\gamma}$-terpinene and geranyl acetate showed $100\%$ fumigation toxicity at $10{\mu}{\ell}/{\ell}$ (air) dose, respectively. It can be concluded that coriander oil is potential control agents against B. germanica.

It is very important to minimize the damage of latent fingerprints at enhancing the contrast. This study proves the enhancement effects of cyanoacrylate-fumed latent fingerprints using p-dimethylaminobenzealdehyde (DMAB) on semi-porous surfaces and the influence factors. The latent fingerprints in experiment were developed for cyanoacrylate treatment in a vacuum chamber and used after drying at room temperature for 24 hours. For fluorescence staining, the cyanoacrylate-developed marks using DMAB were sublimated during 48 hours under the different conditions of surface area, temperature, atmospheric pressure. First experiment showed how surface area effects on the sublimation rate and fluorescence intensity by DMAB of particle size and container size. In addition, the fluorescence staining using DMAB with solvent-free contact method had the greatest fluorescence intensity after 36 hours and a low fluorescence intensity over a certain size of surface area. Second experiment showed that the evaporation of DMAB solid crystals got a satisfying result in a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and reduced time to get the greatest fluorescence intensity. It took a long time to get a optimum level of fluorescence intensity at $30^{\circ}C$ or more and it was less effective in fluorescence intensity. Third experiment on the pressure indicated that the fluorescence intensity of vacuum was weaker than nonvacuum but it was inapplicable to very high variations in pressure.

'Jonathan' apples are relatively small size which contributes to enhancing fruit consumption and gaining popularity. Thus, this study was carried out to evaluate the effects of AVG (aminoethoxyvinylglycine, ReTain$^{(R)}$), sprayable 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene, Harvista$^{TM}$), and fumigation 1-MCP (SmartFresh$^{TM}$) applications on fruit quality attributes and storability in 'Jonathan' apple fruits during cold-stored. The Jonathan fruits were dipped with either ReTain (75 mg/L) or Harvista (125 mg/L) solutions for 5 min, or fumigated with SmartFresh (1 mg/L) for 18 hr before storage at $0{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 75 days. Flesh firmness and titratable acidity remained higher in all pre-treated apples than control ones during cold storage period. Flesh firmness was higher for apples treated with ReTain and SmartFresh than samples treated with Harvista, while soluble solid content and respiration rate were not affected by sample pretreatment. Internal ethylene concentration (IEC) of all pretreated apples remained below about $4.5{\mu}L/L$ during the entire storage period while that of control sample greatly increased to $10.29{\mu}L/L$. Ethylene production was much higher in control fruits than in treated ones during cold storage. These results indicated that ReTain and 1-MCP treatments would be considerably effective in retention of fruit quality attributes of 'Jonathan' apple during cold-stored.

Effects of nematode-parasitic fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus, on root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne hapla, and growth and yield of consecutively grown lettuce and pepper were evaluated and compared to three soil fumigants, Telone II, TeloneC-17 and Dowfune MC-II, in greenhouse plots from 1983 to 1984 at Milyang, Korea. The number of nematodes in fungus plots, Telone II plots, Telone C-17 plots, and Dowfume MC-II plots at 25 days after treatment were 22, 2, 24 and 0, respectively, while untreated control plots were 685. At 350 days after treatment, 66%, 98%, 98% and 96% control of root-knot nematodes were observed in fungus plots, Telone II plots, Telone C-17 plots, and Dowfume MC-II plots, respectively. Lettuce yields were increased 49%, 43%, 31% and 109% and pepper yields were increased 33%, 49%, 37%, and 95% in fungus plots, Telone II plots, Telone C-17 plots, and Dowfume MC-II plots, respectively. Fresh weight and plant height of pepper were higher only in fumigant treated plots than untreated control plots.

The effect of different inoculation amounts of Pisolithus tinctorius (Pt) spores and fertilizers on the growth of Pinus densiflora seedlings grown in fumigated or nonfumigated soils were tested in the: polyethylene pots. To infest the pot soil with Pt spores, the mixture of the spores with sterilized nursery soil was used after seeding. Eighteen months after inoculation, mycorrhizal formation was 42-70% in fumigated plus Korean-Pt inoculated pots, 60-70% in fumigated plus U.S.-Pt inoculated pots, and less than 1% in non-fumigated, Korean-Pt inoculated pots. Growth enhancement effect of Pt spore inoculation was shown on only fumigated soil and the inoculation increased the seedlings height (8-38%), stem diameter (9-40%) and dry weight (6-73%). Especially 0.4g per pot application rate increased the height (30-31%), stem diameter (23-28%) and dry weight (56-69%), while the 0.2g U.S. Pt spore per pot rate increased 26-38, 17-20 and 58-60%, for height, stem diameter, and dry weight respectively. At 1X fertilizer application rate (urea 2g, fused superphoshate 4g, and potassium chloride 1g per pot), the 0.4g per pot rate resulted in more dry weight by 18% than that at 1/2X rate. The result indicated that there is a need for further research on inoculating nonfumigated soil with Pt and that appropriate application rates of fertilizers and Pt spores are 1X and 0.2-0.4g per pot on fumigated soil, respectively.

This test was performed to evaluate the bactericidal efficacy of a fumigation disinfectant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Enterococcus hirae (E. hirae). In preliminary tests, P. aeruginosa and E. hirae working culture suspension number (N value) were $2.8{\times}10^8$ and $4.0{\times}10^8CFU/mL$, respectively. And all the colony numbers on the carriers exposed to the fumigant (n1, n2, n3) were higher than 0.5N1 (the number of bacterial test suspentions by pour plate method), 0.5N2 (the number of bacterial test suspentions by filter membrane method) and 0.5N1, respectively. In addition, the mean number of P. aeruginosa and E. hirae recovered on the control-carriers (T value) was $2.8{\times}10^8$ and $3.4{\times}10^6CFU/mL$, respectively. In the bactericidal effect of the fumigant, the reduction number of $2.8{\times}10^8$ (d value) was 6.46 and 5.19 logCFU/mL, respectively. According to the French standard for the fumigant, the d value for the effective bactericidal fumigant should be over than 5 logCFU/mL. With the results from this study, the fumigation disinfectant containing 20% ortho-phenylphenol has an effective bactericidal activity, then the fumigant can be applied to disinfect food materials and kitchen appliances contaminated with the pathogenic bacteria.

Combined treatment of chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) gas, mild heat, and fumaric acid was performed to reduce microbial growth and maintain quality of Citrus unshiu during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Citrus unshiu fruits were treated with $ClO_2$ gas (15 or 30 ppmv), mild heat (40, 50, or $60^{\circ}C$), and fumaric acid (0.1, 0.3, or 0.5%). Combined treatment of 15 or 30 ppmv $ClO_2$ gas, $50^{\circ}C$ mild heat, and 0.5% fumaric acid reduced populations of inoculated Listeria monocytogenes by 3.5~3.7 log CFU/g. In addition, combined treatment decreased populations of yeast and molds in Citrus unshiu by 2.54 log CFU/g after 30-day storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Combined treatment also reduced the decay rate by 48% after 30 days of storage compared with the control. Total solid content, titratable acidity, and color values were not significantly affected by the combined treatment. Therefore, combined treatment of $ClO_2$ gas, mild heat, and fumaric acid can be a useful hurdle technology to improve microbial safety and quality of Citrus unshiu during storage.

ABS1'RACT-Comparative effects of gamma irradiation and ethylene oxide treatment on the sterilization, and physicochemical and sensory quality of dried marine products(shrimp, anchovy) were investigated. Population of mesophilic total bacteria, aerobic spores and tolerant bacteria of samples were $10^{3}-10^{7}/g,\;10^{7}\;to \;10^{4}/g\;and\;10^{2}\;to\;10^{6}/g$, respectively. Coliforms and molds were found only in dried shrimp as $10^{2}/g$. Mesophilic total bacteria, aerobic spores and acid tolerant bacteria were reduced by over 2 to 4 log cycles with irradiation of 5 to 7 kGy and they were completely sterilized by irradiation dose of 7 to 10 kGy. $D_{10}$ value of mesophilic total bacteria of samples ranged from 1.53 to 2.73 kGy. Coliforms and molds were sterilized at 5 to 7 kGy irradiation but ethylene oxide treatment proved insufficient to eliminate the microorgainsms. An optimum dose of irradiation was less detrimental than ethylene oxide treatment to phpicochemical properties of the samples, such as the pH, TBA value, TMA-N, amino acids, minerals and color difference. Sensory quality after three months of storage showed that the overall acceptability of irradiated sample was higher than that of the non treated control as well as ethylene oxide treated samples.amples.

Since Korea is home to Reticulitermes speratus, a kind of subterranean termites that prefer dark and humid conditions, there have been increasing damages to wooden structures by termites. One noticeable attribute of Korean subterranean termites is that they prefer than Pinus densiflora, the major construction material for Korean traditional houses. And because wide varieties of termites are distributed all over the world, it is not so easy to choose appropriate control methods depending on specific areas. This necessitates careful applications of the following control methods depending on the kinds of termites: fumigation treatment, soil termiticide, preservatives and insect treatment, termite colony elimination system, chemical treatment, and other physical and biological treatment methods. The purpose of this study is to investigate the control effects of environmentally-friendly Alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ), Copper Azole (CuAZ) and Micronized copper quarter (MCQ) on the termites contributing to the damage of wooden structures. It was found in this study that wood with preservative treatment produced a significantly higher termicidal efficacy than untreated wood.
