The biodegradability test of bulking agents in feces composting process is conducted to increase the management efficiency for environment-friendly rural toilet developed by National Rural Resource Institute in 2001. In the case study through references and field study, ash, fallen leaves, and wood chips are commonly used in the ecological toilet. Extension officers and farmers prefer rice straw, fallen leaves, and chaff among the rural resources as a bulking agents in the aspect of getting and storage as the result of questionnaire survey. As the result of biodegradability test including the temperature change, $CO_2$ gas production, and C/N ratio change of composting pile under the condition of aerobic composting apparatus, rice straw and chaff are good bulking agents for environment-friendly rural toilet. It is recommended that easy getting materials among the above mentioned materials are used for bulking agents as the region and season in environment-friendly rural toilet.

최근 고령화 사회가 심각한 사회적 문제로 급부상하고 있으며, 이에 병원을 찾아 입원하는 비중이 이전에 비하여 높아지고 있다. 거동이 불편하거나 근력이 부족한 환자의 경우 스스로 거동할 능력이 다소 떨어지며, 낙상사고가 발생하면 부상 혹은 치명적일 경우 사망으로 이어질 수 있다. 하지만, 이들을 보살피는 간호 인력만으로 병원 내 모든 낙상사고를 파악하기에는 한계가 있다. 또한, 환자들의 낙상 탐지에 관한 연구는 지속해서 수행되어왔지만, 병원 내부환경에서의 낙상 탐지 연구는 부족하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 병원 내부환경에서 낙상을 탐지하기 위해 실제 병실에서 수집한 데이터로 YOLOv5 모델을 학습하여 환자 낙상 탐지모델을 구축 및 평가하였다.

This study is to compare characteristics of saccharification reactions applying to enzymatic hydrolysis of pretreated fallen leaves for bio-ethanol production. It experimented pretreatment of acid, alkaline in the chemical. This experiment includes preteatment of acid and alkaline in chemical, soaking, shaking and autoclaving method, which were applied to biomass. In result, the glucose production from alkaline-NaOH method was 263 mg glucose/ g biomass comparing with them of acid-HCl method. Thus, alkaline-NaOH method is superior than the acid-HCl method for chemical preteatment of fallen leaves. Also, when various chemical treatments were compared, they were all. Based on the results of this study, we found that leaves, one of biomass, are possible in pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis process, and they are likely to affect bio-ethanol production in the future.

The combustion characteristics of surface forest fire fuels was analysed using variable external irradiation level. The characteristics such as ignition time, ignition temperature, critical heat flux and mass loss rate were measured. Fuel samples were exposed to incident heat fluxes from 8 to $50\;kW/m^2$. For the measurement of various combustion characteristics, the size of specimen holder was $100\;mm{\times}100\;mm{\times}12\;mm$ and the fuel samples grinded by electric mill were the fallen leaves of Quercus variabilis and Pinus densiflora. As results, the occurrence of ignition is possible to the heat flux more than $9\;kW/m^2$. The fuel of Pinus densiflora keeps its high temperature longer than that of Quercus variabilis during the combustion process. The results of measurement shows that the maximun and average mass loss rate of Quercus variabilis larger than that of Pinus densiflora.

Duwon meteorite was fallen on 23 November 1943 in Duwonmyeon, Goheung, Jeolanam-Do. We measured rare earth element abundance of Duwon meteorite by isotope dilution thermal ion mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) and ICP-MS. As a result, except La and Ce, abundance of other rare earth element show a correspondence within 10％ of error range. However, La and Ce show more than 70％ in abundance, which is considered due to 1) experimental procedure or 2) inhomogeneity of sample. Leedey meteorite was fallen on 25 November 1943 in Dewey County, Oklahoma, USA. which suggested that fallen difference between Leedey and Duwon meteorites is only 2 days. Leedey and Duwon meteorites are classified as ordinary chondrite of L6 type. In Leedey chondrite-normalized REE pattern, Duwon meteorite shows nearly flattened, which suggests close relationship between Leedey and Duwon meteorites meteoritically or cosmochemically.

A detection algorithm of fallen pear bags caused by natural disaster like heavy rain, typhoon, hurricane, etc. is presented in this paper. The algorithm is developed for the gray pear bags with printed characters which are widely used at pear farms at Sangju and Naju producing large quantity of pears for export. It sets a region of interest (ROI) at first and then eliminates the regions having chromatic color in ROI. Morphological operation and prior information are used to eliminate small noises and several unusual regions and finally the regions of fallen pear bags are remained. The remained regions are analyzed and counted to estimate the scale of damage. Test images are consisted of the images taken at pear farms of Sangju and Naju at 2014. Experimental result shows that the detection rate of pear bags is more than 90% and also the proposed system can be implemented in real-time using hand-held devices because of its simple and parallel architecture.

Fallen needles (8.5kg) of Larix kaempferi were separately collected, extracted with 95% EtOH. EtOH extract was evaporated under reduced pressure, concentrated then successively fractionated with a series of hexane, methylene chloride, ethylacetate and water on a separatory funnel. Then, each fraction was freeze dried. A portion of ethylacetate and water soluble powder were packed on a column chromatography (Sephadex LH-20) eluting with aqueous MeOH and EtOH-hexane mixture. Spectrometric analyses such as NMR and FAB-MS including TLC were performed to characterize the structures of isolated compounds. 5 compounds were isolated from the fallen needles of Larix kaempferi. The antioxidative activities of each fraction and isolated compounds were done by DPPH radical scavenging test.

This study was conducted to understand the pattern and characteristics of seed rain in the broadleaved-Korean pine mixed forest. We established 287 $0.5m^2$ circular seed traps and collected and identified fallen seeds in the traps every two weeks in $150m{\times}150m$ sample plot of the permanent nine hectare of experimental plot in 2005. The overall average density of seed rain was $864.2/m^2$. The seeds of Betula costata Betula costata had the highest number of fallen seeds as $676.0/m^2$ (78.2%), followed by Abies nephrolepis as $57.5/m^2$, B. platyphylla as $37.9/m^2$, Tilia amurensis as $32.2/m^2$, Acer ukurunduense as $17.0/m^2$, A. tegmentosum $14.8/m^2$, and so on. Pinus koraiensis was recorded only $2.5/m^2$ of fallen seeds mainly owing of Korean pine had low rate of purity due to the animal and microbiological predation. Most of seed dispersal have started from the middle to late August and come to an end on the middle of November. The peak time of seed dispersal varied depending on the species. The rate of pure seed by dispersal time varied according to the species, thereupon the aspect of predation and the rate of blasted seed which had influence on the rate of purity also varied according to the species. The density of Korean pine seed rain in the forest gap was significantly different at $P{\leq}0.05$ from in the closed canopy. But the other species had no difference among canopy coverage.

The experiment was conducted from 2007 to 2008. The experimental roughages include five sources and 25 species in all; grasses and legumes: 5 species (mixed grasses, orchardgrass, tall fescue, alfalfa, white clover), native grasses and weeds: 5 species (mixed native grasses, Miscanthus sinensis Anderss, Arundinella hirta (Thunb.) Tanaka, barnyard grass, short awn, forage crops and straw: 5 species (barley 4- hairy vetch, wheat 4- hairy vetch, rye silage, barley silage, baled rice straw), browse and fallen leaves: 5 species (mixed browse, oriental white oak browse, Quercus serrta Thunb., browse oriental cherry fallen leaves, Japanese chestnut fallen leaves), and imported hay and straw: 5 species (timothy hay, tail fescue straw, annual ryegrass straw, klinegrass hay, alfalfa hay). Ten dairy goats (Saanen) were selected which had nearly the same body weight (25kg). The experiment was carried out on the dairy goats farm at Geumsan-Cun in Chungnam province. The chemical composition and dry matter digestibility of each roughage source and species were significantly different at the sampling area, plant species, growth stages and cutting period. Among all the 25 species of roughages, the favorite intake species order by dairy goats was observed like this: mixed grasses, white clover, alfalfa and the lower intake species order was baled rice straw and rye silages. The dairy goats ate more roughages which had low fibrous contents, but high dry matter digestibility. On the other hand, compared to each roughage source, the goat's favorite roughage were grasses and legumes (34.6%) among the trial species. Based on the result, it is reconfirmed that the food habit of dairy goats seems to be closer to that of graters.

The research of cold therapy is preceding rarely nowadays. This study was researched to measure the skin temperature of the right foot malleolus when the leg change the situation precisely speaking it was cold, elevation, cold plus elevation. Twenty young healthy volunteers(M:10, F:10)with no history of cardiopulmonary disease, peripheral artery disease were tested. This study were analyzed by one-way-repeated ANOVA. In the first we examined the within changes of the skin temperature between before and after examination for each modality. The skin temperature at all of modalities had fallen. Therefore we could know the fact that elevation plus cold modality had fallen skin temperature significantly more than elevation or cold. And there were no significant difference between male and female. We conclude that elevation and cold therapy could be better effective on edema, contusion and sprain than cold or elevation therapy independently.
