Understanding the area of the rice paddy fields is important, and suitable for it the remote sensing. SAR is effective to the monitor in Southeast Asia with the rainy season. The detection of the filled rice paddy fields by RADARSAT was tried in the north part of Bangkok Thailand, and in the Mekong river valley Cambodia, which ware the main rice production country in Southeast Asia. We get observation data by RADARSAT and fields all through a year around Bangkok. However, because the flood had occurred on the study area in 2002 observed, the detection only of the rice fields ware difficult.

Throughout human history, plant products have been used for many purposes including as medicines. Herbal products and spices can be used as preventive agents against cancer due to their antimicrobial, antioxidant and antitumorigenic properties. This study was designed to evaluate the potential protective effect of curcum in rats administered nitrosamine precursors; dibutylamine (DBA) and sodium nitrate (NaNO3); and infected with Escherichia coli (E. coli) and also to monitor changes in nuclear factor the Kappa B p65 (NF-${\kappa}B$ p56) pathway and its downstream products, Bcl-2 and interleukin-6 (IL-6), in parallel with nitrosamine precursors, E. coli and curcum treatment. Rats were divided into three groups (n=25 each; except of control group, n+20). Group I a normal control group, group II administered DBA/NaNO3 in drinking water and infected with E. coli and group III was administered DBA/NaNO3 in drinking water, infected with E. coli and receiving standard diet containing 1% curcum powder. Histopathological examination reflected that the curcum treated group featured a lower incidence of urinary bladder lesions, and lower levels of NF-${\kappa}B$, Bcl-2 and IL-6, than the group receiving nitrosamine precursor and infected with E. coli. These findings suggested that curcum may have a protective role during the process of bladder carcinogenesis by inhibiting the NF-${\kappa}B$ pathway and its downstream products.

노지 토양의 효율적인 수분관리를 위해서는 토양수분센서를 알맞게 사용하여야 하며, 특히 노지 과수와 같이 넓은 뿌리환경을 가지는 토양 환경에서는 적합한 센서 설치 위치가 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 실험에서는 노지 과수원에서 다양한 거리와 깊이에 토양수분장력 센서를 설치하여 각 위치의 토양수분장력 값을 측정하고, 센서 설치 위치에 따른 토양수분 변화 정도를 비교하여, 이에 따른 최적 토양수분센서 설치 위치를 알아보기 위해 수행하였다. 국내 두 지역에 위치한 사과 및 배 과수원에서 각 과수의 수간으로부터 거리 20, 40, 60cm, 토양표면으로부터 깊이 10, 20, 30cm로 각각 9개의 토양수분장력센서(TEROS 21, METER Group)를 설치하여 2년간의 토양수분장력 변화 정도를 비교 분석하였다. 두 과수원 모두 센서가 과수의 수간으로부터 가까울수록, 토양의 표면으로부터 얕게 설치되어 있을수록 토양수분장력 값의 변화 정도가 크게 나타났으며, 20cm × 10cm(과수의 수간으로부터 거리 × 토양표면으로부터 깊이) 지점에서의 토양수분장력 값의 변화 정도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타나 토양수분센서 설치에 가장 적합한 지점으로 판단되었다. 그러나 연도가 달라짐에 따라 과수의 뿌리가 생장하며 센서 설치 위치에 따른 토양수분장력의 변화 정도 양상이 조금씩 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 노지과수와 같이 장기간 재배하는 작물의 토양수분 환경을 알맞게 측정하기 위해서는 현장에서의 주기적인 토양수분 변화 관찰 및 보완을 통해 센서 설치 위치를 변경하는 노력도 필요할 것으로 나타났다.

The study aims to investigate corporate social responsibility (CSR) best practices of the world automotive industry - Peugeot, BMW, Ford, Hyundai and Toyota among others - and recommend that they plan their business strategies and managerial responses accordingly. Based on the comparative research and case studies, this research finds that all five automobile manufacturers have taken very similar measures and actions in order to establish and maintain a high level of CSR practices. Sustainability was a core value in all five companies and served as a guiding principle in every aspect and approach of their business. This study finds that all five companies have CSR strategies in place to increase energy efficiency as well as reduce the usage and wastage of water in their production and plants. This research also finds that all companies monitor their suppliers and their own production process to ensure that they maintain their CSR standards. More impressively, this sustainable management practice is transferred along the companies' supply chain through education and training. Their suppliers and business partners are closely monitored to make sure that their high CSR standards are respected and followed. However, we find that there also are some differences in terms of their CSR deliveries and activities.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is the most common cancer in northeastern Thailand. At present, effective diagnosis of CCA either in humans or animals is not available. Monitoring the development and progression of CCA in animal models is essential for research and development of new promising chemotherapeutics. Ultrasonography has been widely used for screening of bile duct obstruction in CCA patients. In this study, we preliminarily investigated the applicability of ultrasonography to monitor the development and progression of CCA in Syrian golden hamsters (n=8) induced by Opisthorchis viverrini (OV)/dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) administration. Ultrasonography and histopathological examination of hamsters was performed at week 0, 20, 24 and 28 of OV infection or at the start of water/Tween-80 administration to controls. The ultrasonographic images of liver parenchyma and gallbladders of OV/DMN-induced CCA hamsters showed sediments in gallbladder, thickening of gallbladder wall, and hypoechogenicity of liver parenchyma cells. The ultrasonographic images of liver tissues were found to correlate well with histopathological examination. Although ultrasonography does not directly detect the occurrence of CCA, it reflects the thickening of bile ducts and abnormality of liver tissues. It may be applied as a reliable tool for monitoring the development and progression of CCA in animal models in research and development of new promising chemotherapeutics for CCA.

Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard its Communication Ocean and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is scheduled for launch in 2008. GOCI includes the eight visible-to-near-infrared (NIR) bands, 0.5km pixel resolution, and a coverage region of 2500 ${\times}$ 2500km centered at 36N and 130E. GOCI has had the scope of its objectives broadened to understand the role of the oceans and ocean productivity in the climate system, biogeochemical variables, geological and biological response to physical dynamics and to detect and monitor toxic algal blooms of notable extension through observations of ocean color. To achieve these mission objectives, it is necessary to develop an atmospheric correction technique which is capable of delivering geophysical products, particularly for highly turbid coastal regions that are often dominated by strongly absorbing aerosols from the adjacent continental/desert areas. In this paper, we present a more realistic and cost-effective atmospheric correction method which takes into account the contribution of NIR radiances and include specialized models for strongly absorbing aerosols. This method was tested extensively on SeaWiFS ocean color imagery acquired over the Northwest Pacific waters. While the standard SeaWiFS atmospheric correction algorithm showed a pronounced overcorrection in the violet/blue or a complete failure in the presence of strongly absorbing aerosols (Asian dust or Yellow dust) over these regions, the new method was able to retrieve the water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll concentrations that were consistent with the in-situ observations. Such comparison demonstrated the efficiency of the new method in terms of removing the effects of highly absorbing aerosols and improving the accuracy of water-leaving radiance and chlorophyll retrievals with SeaWiFS imagery.

폐 염전 매립지를 활용한 골프코스 조성에 있어서 중요한 것은 고농도의 염이 식물 생육의 제한 요인으로 작용한다는 것이다. 높은 농도의 염류를 조절하는 것이 필수적이며, 건설 부지의 토양을 개량하기 위해서는 토양 및 지하수 내 염 농도에 대한 체계적인 지표를 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구는 지하수위에 따른 pH 및 염 농도의 변화를 조사하였다. 이는 골프코스 조성 시 지반공사를 위한 기초자료가 될 뿐만 아니라 공사 후 식재지반의 효율적이고 합리적인 관리에도 유익한 자료가 될 것으로 사료된다. 대상지역의 토양 물리 화학성 분석 결과, 건설부지 내 토양의 대부분은 염분 함량이 높고 약 알칼리성의 식토(clay soil)로 분류되었다. 지하수 수위변화는 갈수기(6월 중 하순), 장마기(2006년 7월 초 중순), 장마후기(7월 말)로 측정 시기를 구분한 결과 1.3m, 3.3m 및 2.8m로 장마기 지하수위는 평균 지면높이 2.9m에 비해 약 0.4m 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 전기전도도의 변화를 측정한 결과 갈수기에는 전체 측정지역에서 $4.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 이상으로 측정되었고, 지역에 따라서 $20dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ 이상으로 나타났다. 장마기 ECe 측정간은 $1.2{\sim}15.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 갈수기에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 EC값을 나타냈다. 따라서 폐 염전 매립지를 이용한 골프코스 조성에 있어 고농도의 염을 함유한 지하수와 식재지반과의 모세관 연결을 차단시키는 것이 중요하다. 이를 실현하기 위하여는 최고 지하수위 보다 높은 지점에 차단층(자갈층)을 포설한 후 식재층을 포설하여 토양 내 모세관 작용을 차단함으로써 염성분의 식재지반으로 이동을 차단한다면 염해에 의한 식물생육의 장애를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
