Kojis were prepared from the different starch raw materials such as glutinous rice, barley rice, wheat flour and sweet potato, and were tested in an effort to reduce production cost and to improve quality of Kochuzang(red pepper paste). During the starting period of Koji preparation, there were less significant changes in pH; however, pH decreased somehow in the case of sweet potato, whereas it increased for the other Kojis. In general, the highest acidity was obtained after 72 hours of Koji preparation. Total nitrogen, soluble nitrogen and amino-nitrogen content increased in order of wheat flour, barley rice, and glutinous rice; Kojis they were markedly produced between 72 and 96 hours of Koji preparation. The maximum amount of reducing sugar was observed between 48 and 72 hours of Koji preparation during this period the reducing sugar content varied widely depending on starch source. Sweet potato Koji produced the highest level of ethyl alcohol content after 72 hours of Koji preparation; for the other Koji the same trends were observed after 24 hours. The starch liquefying activities have reached the highest level after 96 hours and for glutinous rice and barley rice; however, they kept on increasing until 120 hours for wheat flour and sweet potato. Koji Starch liquefying and saccharogenic amylase activities tended to increase in order of sweet potato, glutinous rice, barley rice and wheat flour. Kojis Various protease activities were measu-red during the Koji preparation, and they increased in order of alkali, neutral and acidic protease.

This study was conducted to estimate the effects of year, age of dam at calving, farm and lactation period on milk yield with the data of 4,008 cows' records which were collected at 32 farms by Korea Animal Improvement Association from 1985 to 1989. The results obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1. The average performance of the dairy cattle in the study were $5,959.23{\pm}2,113.03kg$ in actual milk yield, $49.19{\pm}22.77$ months in age of dam at calving, $27.11{\pm}5.13$ months in age at first calving and $255.11{\pm}79.68$ days in lactation period. 2. The percentages of variance component for different sources were 29.39% for the residuals, 1.91% for years, 4.86% for age at calving, 8.89% for farms and 54.94% for lactation period. 3. The overall mean of least-square estimate on the milk yield was 6,229.31kg. In the effects of year, the least-square means of milk yield were estimated 6,000.76kg in 1985-1987, 6,028.11kg in 1988 and 6,659.07kg in 1989. 4. The least-square means of calving age on the milk yield were estimated 5,456.01kg in less than 24 months, 6,565.48kg in 61-66 months which were the highest least-square means. This effects were gradually increased until the 61-66months and gradually decreased after the 61-66months, with highly significant differences among different months of age at calving(p<0.01). 5. In the effects of farm, the least-square means of milk yield were estimated 4,959.50 kg in the lowest farm and 7,497.07kg in the highest farm. Among the milk yield of each farm the effects showed highly significant difference(p<0.01). 6. The least-square means of milk yield in the effects of lactation period were gradually increased with the lapse of the lactation period. Among the lactation period the effects showed highly significant difference(p<0.01).

Antioxidant properties and antioxidant compound contents in different parts of 14 commercial mushrooms were evaluated. Methanolic extracts from the entire mushroom, the pileus and the stipe, separately, were screened for their DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities. Total ubiquinones (Coenzyme Qs; CoQs), total phenolic, and flavonoid contents were determined, in order to assess the extract's antioxidant activity. The portion of the mushroom selected had an effect on the results, with pileus methanolic extract exhibiting the greatest antioxidant effect (p<0.05). The analyzed mushrooms contained powerful antioxidants such as phenols (144.5~536.6 mg of gallic acid equivalents, mg GAE/100 g of dried weight, dw), flavonoids (3.7~31.2 mg of quercetin equivalents, mg QE/100 g dw) and ubiquinones (65.6~485.1 ${\mu}g$/100 g dw). Content of CoQ9 and CoQ10 in the 14 commercial mushrooms varied from 23.1 to 256.2 ${\mu}g$/100 g and from 16.1 to 238.3 ${\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Phellinus linteus showed the highest antioxidant activity among all species due to the contribution of antioxidants such as phenols (530.5 mg GAE/100 g dw) and ubiquinones (308.8 ug/100 g dw). A positive linear correlation was demonstrated between free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic ($R^2=0.79$) and ubiquinone ($R^2=0.59$) contents in the pileus of mushrooms (p<0.05). Our data indicate that commercial mushrooms have potential as dietary sources of CoQs and phenolic antioxidants.

The content of zinc and copper were analyzed and compared for five favorite traditional Korean dishes. The purpose of the research was to substantiate traditional Korean foods, which are good sources of these two minerals, to emphasize the importance of the minerals and to improve nutritional conditions. Foods were collected from institutional food services and Korean restaurants. The result of the analysis of the minerals are listed below. 1. When the survey was done on the preference and the frequency of intake of 106 Korean traditional dishes, the most popular food item was soybean paste stew (doenjangchigae); the second, barbecued beef (pulgogi): the third, cooked rice with assorted vegetables (pibimpap): the fourth, grilled fishes : the fifth, spicy beef vegetable soup (yukkaejang). The frequency of intake of eating these dishes was also very high. 2. The average one serving portion of each of the five dishes from institutional food services and Korean restaurants are as follows. The average one serving size of cooked rice with assorted vegetables of the two systems were 451.2g and 403.0g; spicy beef vegetable soup, 379.3g and 512.3g; soybean paste stew, 292.0g and 278.8g; barbecued beef, 76.1g and 202.5g: grilled croaker(chogi, fish), 47.5g and 36.5g, and grilled spanish mackerel(samchi, fish), 60.0g and 250.0g. The differences of the average one serving portion between the two systems were very significant. 3. The total average zinc content of each of the five dishes from the two different systems were analyzed. The zinc content of cooked rice ith assorted vegetables from institutional food services was 4.3mg and that from Korean restaurants was 2.9mg; spicy beef vegetable soup, 1. 7mg and 3.2mg: sybean pste stew, 1.4mg and 1.6mg: barbecued beef, 1.9mg and 4.3mg; grilled croaker, 0.5mg and 0.4mg; grilled spanish mackerel, 0.8mg and 2.7mg. The difference between the average of total zinc content of two systems were not statistically significant. 4.

This study was carried out to evaluate the fate of inoculant Bradyrhizobium japonicum and the inoculation effect on soybean in complex soil environment. To moniter Rhizobium strains from the root, streptomycine and streptomycine and nalidixic acid resistant marker strains were prepared by spontaneous mutagenesis. The characteristics and properties of antibiotic marked strains were not altered by the mutagenesis. The comparison of properties of wild type and antibiotic resistant Bradyrhizobium strains are summarized as follow : 1) The strains of USDA110K-$STR^r$, USDA110N-$STR^r$ and R318-$STR^r$ showed weak tolerance to pH 9.0. The utilization of carbon sources by fast growing group was different from that of slow growing group. The marked strains of R214-$STR^rNAL^r$, USDA110K-$STR^r$ and USDA110N-$STR^r$ was doubtful in utilization of sorbitol and R138-$STR^rNAL^r$ was doubtful in utilization of xylose as a carbon source. 2) By examining the agglutination reaction of serogroups, the strains used were identified as different ones. There were no differences between wild type and marked strains in agglutination titer values. 3) The plasmid size of fast group was slightly greater than that of slow group. However, there was no differences in plasmid size between the wild type and antibiotic resistant strains. This result indicates that the antibiotic resistance was not encoded in plasmid. 4) The recovery of the inoculated strains was up to 12.5 % in soybean cultivated soil and was up to 25 % in soybean uncultivated soil. 5) When the wild type or marked strains were inoculated. there was no significant effect on soybean plant, whereas the inoculation effect was pronounced in soybean uncultivated soil. The inoculation effect seemed to be more pronounced in wild type strains than antibiotic resistant strains. however, the difference was not significant.

This study was designed to determine the level of soybean meal (SM) that could be substituted for fish meal in the diet for Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). A control diet with white fish meal as only protein source was included, SM was substituted at levels of $5\%,\;10\%,\;15\%,\;and\;20\%$ for portions of the fish meal in the diet. Amino acids (met+lys) supplementation and two different SM particle sizes (0.5 mm and 0.25 mm) in the $20\%$ SM diet were compared. In addition, combination of $10\%$ SM, $10\%$ corn gluten meal (CGM) and $10\%$ meat and bone meal (MBM) was substituted for the fish meal in the diet. Duplicate groups of the 30 fish averaging 22.9 g were fed one of 8 isoproteic $(48\%)$and isolipidic $(7.5\%)$ experimental diets to satiation twice a day for 9 weeks. No significant differences were found among fish fed the control, substituting up to $20\%\;SM,\;20\%$ SM containing amino acids, and $10\%\;SM+10\%\;CGM+10\%$ MBM diets in weight gain, feed efficiency, daily feed intake, and protein retention (P>0.05). Feed efficiency, daily feed intake and protein retention in fish fed the diet containing $20\%$ SM with 0.5 mm particle size were not significantly different to those in fish fed the diets containing less than $20\%\;SM\;(P>0.05)$, however, weight gain was significantly lower than that of the control and $5\%\;SM\;diets\;(P<0.05)$. It is concluded that SM ran be used as a partial substitute for fish meal up to $20\%$ in the diet, and that the inclusion of SM with an adequate combination of several protein sources can replace larger amounts of fish meal in the diet.

The cultural property management system of Korea was established based on the modern cultural assets acts and the old imperial estate management system enacted during the Japanese occupation. Academics have researched the cultural property management system oriented on the modern cultural assets acts, but few studies have been conducted into the old imperial estate management system, which is another axis of the cultural property management system. The old imperial estate was separated from the feudal capital by the Kabo Reform, but was dismantled during the colonial invasion of Japan and managed as a hereditary property of the colonial royal family during the Japanese colonial period. After establishment of the government, the Imperial Estate Act was enacted in 1954 and defined the estate as a historical cultural property managed by the Imperial Estate Administration Office. At this time, imperial estate property that was designated as permanent preservation property was officially recognized as constituting state-owned cultural assets and public goods in accordance with Article 2 of the Act's supplementary provisions during 1963, when the first amendment to the Cultural Property Protection act was implemented. In conclusion, Korea's cultural property formation and cultural property management system were integrated into one unit from two different sources: modern cultural assets acts and the old imperial estate property management system. If the change of modern cultural assets acts was the process of regulating and managing cultural property by transplanting and applying regulations from Japan to colonial Joseon, the management of the imperial estate was a process by which the Japanese colonized the Korean Empire and disposed of the imperial estate. Independence and the establishment of the government of the Republic of Korea provided the opportunity to combine these two different streams into one. Finally, this integration was completed with the establishment of the Protection of Cultural Properties Act in 1962.

The objective of these studies were to examine the effects of processing methods of corn grains on in vitro dry matter digestability and in sacco degradability in the rumen by three ruminally cannulated dry Holstein cows. The corns for these experiments were untreated; whole corn L(density; 660 g/$\ell$), whole corn H(density; 740 g/$\ell$), and treated by four different types: Ground corn, 3.8 mm, 2.8 mm, and 1.5 mm flaked corns. The results obtained were summarized as follows: The DM degradabilities, after 48 hr incubation by in sacco method, were the highest(94.4, 88.0 and 87.0%, respectively) in 1.5 mm flaked corn, ground corn, and 2.8 mm flaked corn. The 3.8 mm flaked corn was degraded significantly lower than these. Until 12 hr incubation, whole corn L tended to be degraded little more than whole corn H, was not significantly different. However, after 24 hr incubation, the significant differences between whole corn L and whole corn H were shown(P<0.05). The DM digestabilities by in vitro digestion were the highest for 1.5 mm flaked corn and ground corn(92.3 and 91.2%, respectively)(P<0.05), followed by 2.8 mm and 3.8 mm flaked corn(83.9 and 83.4%, respectively), tended to be similar to those by in sacco method. Whole corn L was digested twice more rapidly than whole corn H. Summarizing the experimental data, compared with unprocessed corns, the flaked corns were significantly increased in the degradabilities of dry matter in the rumen. In addition, as increasing the flaking degree of corn, the degradabilities of dry matter were significantly improved. Referring to these kinds of physical characteristics of grain sources in the ruminal degradabilities, it is believed to be possible to optimize the environment of the fermentation in the rumen.

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is not only affected by anthropogenic emissions, but also intensifies, migrates, decreases by hydrometeorological factors. Therefore, it is essential to understand relationships between the hydrometeorological factors and PM2.5 concentration. In Korea, PM2.5 concentration is measured at the ground observatories and estimated data are given to locations where observatories are not present. In this way, the data is not suitable to represent an area, hence it is impossible to know accurate concentration at such locations. In addition, it is hard to trace migration, intensification, reduction of PM2.5. In this study, we analyzed the relationships between hydrometeorological factors, acquired from Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), and PM2.5 by means of Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA). By BMA, we also selected factors that have meaningful relationship with the variation of PM2.5 concentration. 4 PM2.5 concentration models for different seasons were developed using those selected factors, with Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) from MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Finally, we mapped the result of the model, to show spatial distribution of PM2.5. The model correlated well with the observed PM2.5 concentration (R ~0.7; IOA ~0.78; RMSE ~7.66 ㎍/㎥). When the models were compared with the observed PM2.5 concentrations at different locations, the correlation coefficients differed (R: 0.32-0.82), although there were similarities in data distribution. The developed concentration map using the models showed its capability in representing temporal, spatial variation of PM2.5 concentration. The result of this study is expected to be able to facilitate researches that aim to analyze sources and movements of PM2.5, if the study area is extended to East Asia.
