  • Determining the nutrient stoichiometry in plant organs is critical for understanding nutrient uptake and cycling in forest ecosystems. This study evaluated nutrient concentrations and stoichiometry in various plant organs (stem, bark, branches, and foliage) of species found in four warm-temperate forests in southern Korea. Cryptomeria japonica D. Don (CJ), Quercus serrata Thunb. (QS), evergreen broadleaved tree species (EB), and bamboo spp. (BB) were destructively sampled to measure nutrient (C, N, and P) concentrations in the plant organs. The mean C concentration in the stem was significantly higher in CJ than in QS, BB, or EB, whereas the C concentration in the foliage was the lowest in BB. The mean foliar N and P concentrations were higher in BB than in EB or CJ. The mean stem C:N and C:P ratios were highest in CJ but were lowest in the foliage of BB. Overall, stems of all species showed a strong positive correlation between C concentration and dry weight, but a negative correlation between N and dry weight. The N and P concentrations of foliage and bark were strongly correlated, whereas those of the stem and branches were poorly correlated. Positive correlations were detected between the C:N and C:P ratios in bark and foliage. These results indicate the existence of intraspecific differences in nutrient requirements in warm-temperate forest species and add to the understanding of nutrient uptake and storage patterns in the organs of species growing in warm-temperate forests.

  • 목 적: 기존의 CBCT(Cone-beam Computed-tomography)는 호흡에 의한 움직임의 영향을 받는 부위에서 장기의 움직임으로 표적용적에 오차가 발생했다. 본 논문의 목적은 호흡동조방사선치료를 시행할 때 오차를 감소시켜주는 Gated CBCT(Gated Cone-beam Computed-Tomography)기능을 이용하여 정확성과 소요시간의 각각 유용성을 평가하고 위상에 따른 적절성에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: Gated CBCT의 유용성을 평가하기 위해 Truebeam STxTM에서 QUASARTM 호흡 움직임 팬텀과 납 표지자 삽입물(lead marker inserts)을 이용하여 전체 위상(Full Phase), 20~80% 위상, 30~70% 위상, 40~60% 위상마다 5회씩 Gated CBCT를 촬영하여 납 표지자의 번짐(Blurring) 길이를 측정하고 투시 촬영(fluoroscopy)의 Trigger mode를 사용하여 최고 위상(Top Phase)에서 구간이 끝나는 지점까지 납 표지자가 움직이는 거리를 5회씩 측정하여 비교하였다. 삼나무 고체 종양 삽입물(Cedar Solid Tumor Inserts)을 이용하여 4차원 전산화단층촬영(4-Dimentional Computed-tomography, 4DCT)을 촬영하여 전체 위상, 20~80% 위상, 30~70% 위상, 40~60% 위상마다 표적 용적을 설정하고 축 방향(S-I방향)으로 5회씩 길이를 측정하였고 동일하게 Gated CBCT를 5회씩 촬영하고 영상의 CT 값(CT number)을 분석하여 표적이 움직인 거리를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결 과: 납 표지자 삽입물을 이용하여 촬영한 Gated CBCT에서 전체 위상은 평균 4.46 cm, 20~80% 위상은 평균 3.11 cm, 30~70% 위상은 평균 1.94 cm, 40~60% 위상은 평균 0.90 cm가 측정되었다. 투시 촬영에서 납 표지자의 축방향 움직임 거리는 평균 4.38 cm였고 Trigger mode를 이용하여 최고 위상부터 Beam off 구간까지의 거리는 20~80% 위상은 평균 3.342 cm, 30~70% 위상은 평균 2.04 cm, 40~60% 위상은 평균 0.84 cm가 측정되었다. 두 결과를 비교하였을 때 전체 위상은 0.08 cm, 20~80% 위상은 0.23 cm, 30~70% 위상은 0.10 cm, 40~60% 위상은 0.07 cm의 차이가 확인되었다. 삼나무 고체 종양 삽입물을 이용하여 촬영한 4차원 전산화단층촬영 영상으로 윤곽 묘사(contouring)한 내부표적용적(Internal Target Volume, ITV)과 치료계획용적(Planning Target Volume, PTV) 윤곽의 길이는 전체 위상에서 6.40 cm, 7.40 cm, 20~80% 위상에서 4.96 cm, 5.96 cm, 30~70% 위상에서 4.42 cm, 5.42 cm, 40~60% 위상에서 2.95 cm, 3.95 cm가 측정되었고 촬영한 Gated CBCT에서 Full 위상은 평균 6.35 cm, 20~80% 위상은 평균 5.25 cm, 30~70% 위상은 평균 4.04 cm, 40~60% 위상은 평균 3.08 cm가 측정되었다. 두 결과를 비교하였을 때 내부표적용적에서 ±8.5% 이내의 오차로 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 결 론: 기존의 CBCT는 호흡에 의한 움직임의 영향을 받는 부위에서 장기의 움직임으로 오차가 발생하는 문제가 있었지만 본 연구를 통해서 Gated CBCT를 이용하여 설정한 위상의 표적 용적과 비슷한 영상을 얻어 정확한 영상유도를 시행하여 유용성을 확인하였다. 하지만 설정한 위상이 줄어들수록 영상 촬영소요시간이 길어진다. 따라서, 촬영소요시간과 위상의 오차를 고려했을 때 30~70% 위상 이상의 넓은 위상을 사용하는 호흡동조 정위체부방사선치료 환자에게 적용하는 것이 적절하다고 생각한다.

  • To evaluate lactation performance and changes in plasma and fecal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentrations in response to the supplementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SC), two dairy farms were selected. On each farm, 32 cows in early to mid lactation (21 to 140 DIM) were blocked by parity and days in milk (DIM), and randomly assigned to one of the two treatments within block (Control or 56 g SC/cow/d). Effect of SC on lactation performance (daily) and changes in blood and fecal LPS level were examined on d 0 and 28 of supplementation. The results showed that SC supplementation increased lactation performance of dairy cows on both farms. On Farm 1, milk production, 3.5% fat corrected milk (FCM), and yield of milk fat and protein were greater (p<0.01) for cows supplemented with SC. Supplementation of SC increased percentage milk fat (p = 0.029) from 81 to 110 DIM. There was no significant effect (p>0.05) of SC supplementation on percentage of milk protein, dry matter intake and feed efficiency. On Farm 2, cows supplemented with SC had a greater (p<0.05) milk yield, percentage of milk fat and milk protein, yield of milk fat and protein, 3.5% FCM and feed efficiency. Supplemental SC had no effect on LPS concentrations in feces (p>0.05) while it trended to reduce (p = 0.07 or 0.207) the concentration in plasma. The results indicate that supplemental SC can increase lactation performance of dairy cattle and has potential for reducing plasma LPS concentration.

  • This work attempted to manufacture glued-laminated timber (Glulam) bonded with melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin adhesives at various melamine contents from 20% to 50% under high frequency (HF) heating for a very short time. Two preparation methods were employed to prepare MUF resin adhesives with different melamine contents: one-batch method of synthesizing MUF resins in a single batch, and two-batch method of mixing urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin with melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin that had been synthesized separately. As the melamine content increased, the gelation time and peak temperature of MUF resins decreased. The adhesion performance of plywood showed that the one-batch MUF resin adhesive with 50% melamine content only satisfied the standard requirement of water resistance. Thus, the one-batch MUF resin adhesive with 50% melamine content was applied for bonding wood lamina from four softwood species such as Japanese larch, Korean red pine, Korean pine and Japanese cedar to manufacture Glulam under HF heating. All Glulam samples bonded with the one-batch MUF resin adhesives with 50% melamine content except those from Korean Red Pine satisfied the requirement in water soaking or boiling water delamination test as an exterior grade Glulam. The presence of rosin in Korean Red Pine was believed to be responsible for its poor adhesion. These results showed that the one-batch MUF resin adhesives with 50% melamine content provided acceptable water resistance with exterior grade Glulam manufactured under HF heating.

  • Annual ring formation is considered a source of information to investigate the effects of environmental changes caused by temperature, air pollution, and acid rain on tree growth. A comparative investigation of annual ring growth of Cryptomeria japonica in relation to environmental changes was conducted at two sites in southern Korea (Haenam and Jangseong). Three wood disks from each site were collected from stems at breast height and annual ring growth was analyzed. Annual ring area at two sites increased over time (p > 0.05). Tree ring growth rate in Jangseong was higher than that in Haenam. Annual ring area increment in Jangseong was more strongly correlated with environmental variables than that in Haenam; annual ring growth increased with increasing temperature (p < 0.01) and a positive effect of $NO_2$ concentration on annual ring area (p < 0.05) could be attributed to nitrogen deposition in Jangseong. The correlation of annual ring growth increased with decreasing $SO_2$ and $CO_2$ concentrations (p < 0.01) in Jangseong. Variation in annual growth rings in Jangseong could be associated with temperature changes and N deposition. In Haenam, annual ring growth was correlated with $SO_2$ concentration (p < 0.01), and there was a negative relationship between precipitation pH and annual ring area (p < 0.01) which may reflect changes in nutrient cycles due to the acid rain. Therefore, the combined effects of increased $CO_2$, N deposition, and temperature on tree ring growth in Jangseong may be linked to soil acidification in this forest ecosystem. The interactions between air pollution ($SO_2$) and precipitation pH in Haenam may affect tree growth and may change nutrient cycles in this site. These results suggested that annual tree ring growth in Jangseong was more correlated with environmental variables than that in Haenam. However, the further growth of C. japonica forest at two sites is at risk from the long-term effects of acid deposition from fossil fuel combustion.

  • Automatic wood species identification systems have enabled fast and accurate identification of wood species outside of specialized laboratories with well-trained experts on wood species identification. Conventional automatic wood species identification systems consist of two major parts: a feature extractor and a classifier. Feature extractors require hand-engineering to obtain optimal features to quantify the content of an image. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which is one of the Deep Learning methods, trained for wood species can extract intrinsic feature representations and classify them correctly. It usually outperforms classifiers built on top of extracted features with a hand-tuning process. We developed an automatic wood species identification system utilizing CNN models such as LeNet, MiniVGGNet, and their variants. A smartphone camera was used for obtaining macroscopic images of rough sawn surfaces from cross sections of woods. Five Korean softwood species (cedar, cypress, Korean pine, Korean red pine, and larch) were under classification by the CNN models. The highest and most stable CNN model was LeNet3 that is two additional layers added to the original LeNet architecture. The accuracy of species identification by LeNet3 architecture for the five Korean softwood species was 99.3%. The result showed the automatic wood species identification system is sufficiently fast and accurate as well as small to be deployed to a mobile device such as a smartphone.

  • 이 연구에서는 제주도 지역에서 태풍에 의해 야기되는 조풍(潮風) 발생 및 식생에 나타난 피해의 시 공간적 특징을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2012년 8월 하순 제주도를 강타한 태풍 볼라벤(BOLAVEN)의 통과시 기상자료를 분석하고 이후 야외답사를 수행하여 제주도 식생에 나타난 조풍해 정도를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 조풍해는 주로 제주도 남부 및 동부 해안지역에서 발생한 것으로 나타났으며, 태풍이 동반한 강한 남동풍과 상대적으로 적은 강수량이 그 원인으로 분석되었다. 조풍에 의해 해안에서 약 8km 범위 내의 삼나무(Cryptomeria japonica)와 해안지역의 곰솔(Pinus thunbergii)을 포함한 대부분의 식생이 피해를 입었으나, 그 피해정도 및 회복력은 수종별로 차이가 있었다. 조풍에 의한 식생 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 강풍성 마른 태풍이 접근 시 조풍해 발생을 예측하고 방제대책을 마련하는 것이 필요하다.
