낙동강유역에는 4대강 사업으로 8개의 보가 낙동강 본류에 새롭게 설치되었으며, 따라서 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 보상류에 퇴적되어 하천제방이나 하천구조물의 안전을 위협할 수 있다. 또한 홍수시에는 농경지의 매몰과 저수지의 퇴적현상이 발생하는 등 유역유사에 의한 다양한 문제가 발생할 수 있으며, 강우로부터 유출되는 유사는 강우사상에 따라 빠르게 변할 수 있으나 수체에 즉각적인 영향을 유발하지 않을 경우 만성적인 특성으로 인해 침전물을 계속 이동시키며 축적되는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 사전에 예측하고 낙동강유역에 대한 유역유사관리 대책마련을 마련하기 위해 유역유출과 유사의 이송 및 퇴적양상을 분석하여 유역관리를 위한 자료를 구축할 필요가 있다. 이러한 기초자료 분석을 위해 활용되는 유역모형 중 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형은 장기간 유역 유출로 인한 유사 모의를 수행하는데 가장 많이 활용되는 모형이며, 미국 농무성 농업연구소(USDA Agricultural Research Service, ARS)의 Jeff Amold 등에 의해 개발된 모형이다. SWAT 모형은 장기유출 및 유사 발생에 대한 시 공간적 변화를 모의하는 모형으로 넓은 범위의 유역에 대해 일단위 모의 간격으로 최대 100년까지 모의가 가능한 장기유역 모의에 최적화된 모형이다. 본 논문에서는 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 낙동강유역의 장기 유역 유출 및 유사 모의를 수행하기위해 2004년에서 2009년까지의 유출량 자료와 유량-유사량관계곡선 등을 이용하여 본류 및 지류 유출구 주요지점에 대해 검보정을 수행하고자 한다. 모의의 정확도 향상을 위해 안동댐, 임하댐, 영천댐, 합천댐, 남강댐, 밀양댐 및 낙동강 본류 등 총 7개 유역으로 구분하여 SWAT 모형을 구축하였으며, 각 유역별로 유출량과 유사량에 대하여 각각 보정 및 검증을 수행하였다. 낙동강 본류유역 총 7개의 댐 방류량자료와 20개의 대형하수종말처리장 방류량자료를 이용한 낙동강유역의 유출량 보정 및 검증 결과, 모의치가 실측치를 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 총 11개 지점의 수위관측소에 대해 유사량 측정 성과를 이용한 유사량 보정 및 검증 결과, 강우시 유사량 모의값은 유출량-유사량관계곡선 식을 잘 반영하였으나, 비강우시에는 모의값이 관계곡선 식의 결과값보다 대체적으로 높게 나타났다.

Antioxidative and antibacterial activities of endemic plants extracts in Korea were investigated. Hydrogen radical scavenging activity was 99.72% in an elm tree, 99.725 in a Job's tears, 99.575 in an eggplant, and 94.025 in a barrenwort. Antibacterial activity of ethanol extract from 23 different species of wild plants were determined. The gull nut was showed the strongest antibacterial activities (16.0-19.0 mm) and also showed high antibacterial activities in a pine neddles, a gulmyungja, a wild ginger plants, a ginko (9.5-11.5 mm). Only extracts of Saurrranceae extract showed the antibacterial activity in Bacillus subtilus, Stapylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Samonella entetotidis. An antibacterial activities were showed weakly in an esungcho and an eggplant. A ground ivy showed Antibacterial activity on Stapylococcus aureus. A barren wort showed in antibacterial activity on Stapylococcus aureus, and E. coli. This results were suggested that many edemic plants resources contains antioxidative and antibacterial substances.

Multifunctionality of agriculture has been an important international issue in terms of environmental benefits and public concerns. We calculated soil loss mass in national basis using the USLE, and attempted to evaluate its economical benefits by replacement cost method. Soil loss mass ranged from 1.4 to $18MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ was fairly fitted to measured values for 13 cropping systems. In national basis, the factors in USLE were evaluated as: 429.4 for rainfall and runoff factor. R, 0.15 for soil erodibility factor, K, 1.72 for topographic factor, LS, 0.275 for cover and management factor, C, and 0.856 for support practice factor, P. The soil loss estimated from upland farming using the USLE was $26.1MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, but soil loss from the bare soil was $110.8MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, the ratio of soil loss from upland farming to bare soil was 23 percents. Function of reducing soil loss in comparison with the bare soil was $84.7MT\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, of which national soil loss mass was 62.6 million MT per annum in south Korea. Agriculture economic replacement cost of soil loss reduction was 497 billion Wons(398 million dollars) for the cost of upland soil dressing. For conservational purposes to increase the environmental benefits of upland farming, the agricultural practice including contour, strip cropping, terracing and division ditches should be implemented.

The purpose of this study is to construct a GIS / DB by grasping a small but ecologically valuable village wetland distribution, and to propose conservation management and wise use plan. The study area is Seocheon-gun, a typical farming village. Firstly, based on the digital topographical map (1:5,000), the Arc-GIS tool was used to identify the provisional(draft) village wetlands. In addition, for the management of village wetlands, wetlands with an area of more or less than $625m^2$ each were derived and according to ecological regions study area was classified into urban areas, inland areas and coastal areas. And finally, according to the wetland identifying indicators, the village wetlands were identified as the final village wetlands through indoor and field trips. The results of the study show that there are 570 village wetlands in Seocheon - gun province, which are 74 in urban areas, 220 in inland areas, and 276 in coastal areas. The case study for village wetland identification was conducted in one out of two urban areas (Seocheon - eup), two of four coastal areas (Biin - myeon and Seo - myeon), and three of seven inland areas (Masan - myeon, Hansan - myeon, and Sicho - myeon). The distribution of village wetlands was found mainly to be a village wetland with an area of less than $625m^2$. In addition, compared with inland areas, the discrimination rate of village wetlands in coastal areas and urban areas was relatively low, indicating that inland areas were still less disturbed, and land use in urban areas and coastal areas is changing rapidly. Especially, land with less awareness such as village wetlands is relatively easily damaged, and management strategy is urgent.

Benzobicyclon induces phytotoxicity to Tongil type rice, although it is an efficient herbicide in paddy. This study was performed to figure out the benzobicyclon-induced phytotoxicity responses of whole crop forage rice genotypes that have the genetic background similar to Tongil type rice, under wet-seeded and transplanted conditions. Mogwoo demonstrated whitening symptom at all the temperatures in both wet-seeding and transplanting by the application of standard and double rates of benzobicyclon. Nokyang, Mogyang and Suweon560 exhibited no or negligible whitening and their plant heights were not reduced at standard rate of benzobicyclon. But in double rate application in wet-seeding, the three genotypes showed 0-8% of white plants at all temperature treatments and reduction in plant height was comparatively larger at $27^{\circ}C$. In transplanting, the double rate application of benzobicyclon at 24 and $27^{\circ}C$ induced 0-32% of whitening plants depending on genotypes while no whitening plants were observed at 18 and $21^{\circ}C$ in all genotypes. Reduction in biomass by double rate of benzobicyclon at 24 and $27^{\circ}C$ was greater than at 18 and $21^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that Mogwoo is extremely sensitive to benzobicyclon and Nokyang, Mogyang and Suweon560 are tolerant to the standard rate of benzobicyclon.

Various physico-chemical and microbiological parameters of a composting system were compared with respect to their potential use for the monitoring and evaluation of composting processes for cattle manure. The temperature changed within a range of $30-65^{\circ}C$ during the whole composting process, and the period of active composting (>$40^{\circ}C$) persisted for 16 days. The concentrations of total carbon, total nitrogen, and organic matter decreased by 15% during active composting, but significant changes in C/N ratio were not observed. The decrease of temperature in the latter period of active composting caused a decrease of $NH_4^+-N$ and an increase of $NO_3^--N$ in the composting pile. When temperature exceeded $50^{\circ}C$, the population of thermophiles was higher than that of mesophiles by more than 1 or 2 orders of magnitude. Correlation analyses showed that amylase activity correlated positively with the population of mesophiles and reducing sugar content, but negatively with the population of thermophiles. Amylase activity was higher at the beginning of active composting, whereas cellulase, xylanase and ligninase activities which showed close relationship with each other, increased continually during active cornposting, suggesting the distinction of temporal niches between amylose-degrading and lignocellulose-degrading bacteria in the same habitat.

Leucine zipper motif consists of multiple periodic leucine residues, which forms amphipathic alpha helix. The hydrophobic nature of leucine zipper motif can dimerize proteins which contain this motif. Leucine zipper motif addition at C-terminus of single-chain Fv (ScFv) antibody induces its dimerization. Since the dimeric ScFv antibody contains two antigen binding sites (bivalency) like Y-shaped complete antibody, it could increase avidity. As a result, it could show higher antigen binding activity than monomeric ScFv antibodies. Based on this concept, monomeric chicken 8C3 ScFv antibody previously developed from chicken hybridoma was dimerized by the addition of leucine zipper motif at C-terminus of ScFv antibody. The dimeric 8C3 ScFv antibody specifically reacted with Eimerian sporozoite which causes Avian Coccidiosis. As expected, dimeric 8C3 ScFv antibody showed 3-folds higher antigen binding activity than monomer due to increased avidity. In addition, protien yields of dimer expression were 2-folds higher than monomer.

Seed and pod numbers are the main yield components in soybean. Selection for increased yield potential is main goal of plant breeding. The objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci(QTLs) that control pod number per plant, seed number per plant and pod in soybean. The 117 $F_{2:10}$ recombinant inbred lines(RILs) developed from a cross of 'Keunolkong' and 'Shinpaldalkong' were used. Two independent QTLs for pod number per plant were identified from linkage group(LG) F and L. Two QTLs for seed number per plant were located on LG F and L. Seed number per pod was related with three QTLs located on LG D1a, D1b and F. Pod and seed number per plant have two common QTLs on LG F and L.

Through manifestation of the principles of commodity production spatial sharing of labour can be observed in the agriculture as well as in cattle production. Better adjustment of the production structure to the environment factors brings higher yields and more effective production. In being able to maximize the profit the entrepreneurs opt for producing output that closely matches to their featuring conditions. In contrary to the relatively high "mobility" of crop production animal husbandry and within this cattle production - as known - is strictly chained to forage production. On the basis of our economic research and as a result of multivariable analysis(factor analysis) it can be concluded that two variable groups(factors) are highly dominant in organizing profitable cattle production. First of them is the crop site factor (indicated by gold crown value), the second is the forage production feature(forage and grassland area and the yield of them). During recent years the weight of environmental factors suffered from devaluation. As a result of the central economic administration differentiating effects were suppressed and the chances of equalizing concepts strengthened. The outcome can be observed even today. In the regions, for example, being predominantly suitable for grass and forage cropping the milk and slaughter cattle production decreased. The same is ture for com and pig production regions. Unexploitment of local environmental features can be observed mainly in grassland management. Branches being potential user of grasslands hardly take them into consideration. Main method of rational use of grasslands is pasturing. Presence of pastures and the usage of them through cattle production is highly important not only for profitable production but also for maintaining ecological stability.
