To investigate effects of ethylacetate fraction of onion(EFO) on serum lipid metabolism in rats fed high cholesterol diet, four groups of Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing about 100 g were given a high cholesterol diet of 1% cholesterol and 0.25% sodium cholate and EFO containing three concentrations (1%, 3% and 10%), respectively for 6 weeks. growth rate of the hypercholesterolemic group (control group) was higher than the normal group, whereas the groups given EFO showed a decreasing trends, compared with the control group, especially the most excellent effect in 10% of EFO, but any differences were not found between groups in feed efficiency ratio. Serum concentrations of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol were lower, whereas HDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly higher in EFO suplemented-grups than control group in dose dependent manner. EFO increased HDL-cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio and lowered atherogenic index. Free cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were not decreased significantly with in 6 weeks, but cholesteryl ester concentration was significantly decreased in EFO suplemented groups than control group, and in case of serum phospholipid concentration, EFO was not showed significantly effect, but it gradually increased the level, compared with the control group. Therefore, it might be expected that ethylacetate fraction of onion is believed to be a possible protective or curative effects for the fatty liver and hyperlipidemia-induced by a high cholesterol diet.

This study was examined to investigate the effect of wood carbonization products on growth and body composition of oliver flounder(Paralichthys olivaceus) as a part of fishery utilization of charcoal and pyroligneous acid. Weight gain in oliver flounder fed with wood carbonization products was higher than that of the control group. Feed efficiency between the groups fed with charcoal and Mogchotan(the mixture of charcoal and pyroligneous acid, 80:20, w/w) and the control group showed no significant difference(p>0.05) and was significantly higher in group fed with pyroligneous acid than the control group(p<0.05). All groups fed with wood carbonization products were also higher than the control group in hemoglobin and hematocrit. Especially, the amount of both components was significantly higher in group fed with Mogchotan(p<0.05). The result indicates that the addition of Mogchotan can improve the health of oliver flounder, and was excellent in the mortality and the recovery rate. In conclusion, Mogchotan treatment would be suitable way for improving the growth and health of oliver flounder.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different substrates in rearing tank on growth and body composition of juvenile sea cucumber Apostichophus japonicus. Sea cucumber (average weight 3.6) were randomly distributed at a density of 10 juvenile per tank into nine tanks providing three different substrates including free-substrates, sand and wave-shaped plastic sheet as (shelter). Juveniles were fed with a commercial feed once in every 2 days for 8 weeks. At the end of the experiment, survival of sea cucumber was not affected by the presence of substrates (P>0.05). Weight gain and specific growth rate of sea cucumber reared in the tanks with sand were significantly higher than those of sea cucumber reared in the tanks with shelter and without substrate (P<0.05). Crude protein and crude lipid of whole body in sea cucumber reared in free-substrate tanks were significantly higher than those of juvenile reared in the tanks with other substrates (P<0.05). Higher ash content was obtained in sea cucumber reared in the tanks with sand compared to that of juvenile reared in the tanks with other substrates (P<0.05). The results of this study suggest that growth and proximate composition of whole body of sea cucumber was significantly affected by substrates. Among materials tested, sand may be a proper substrate for sea cucumber culture.

To establish a rapid and effective method for the analysis of soy isoflavone which is known to have lots of variation in derivatives of glucoside, conversion rate from isoflavone conjugates to its aglycones, and decomposition of conversed aglycones were investigated with various acid hydrolysis conditions. A number of heating conditions for acid hydrolysis including heating at convection oven $(105^{\circ}C)$, water bath $(95^{\circ}C)$, heating block $(120^{\circ}C)$, and hot plate $(120^{\circ}C)$ were applied. Acid hydrolysis in heating block with reflux was chosen as the best heating condition. From the stability test of isoflavone aglycone during acid hydrolysis, genistein, daidzein, and glycitein did not show any significant changes in their contents for 60 min of hydrolysis. Ten to thirty milligram of sample per 1 mL HCl was the best ratio of sample to acid. As conclusion, acid hydrolysis for 60 min after addition of 15 mL HCl solution to 0.5 g soybean, and then fill up to 50 mL with methanol, followed by HPLC analysis was set as a final analysis method. From this method, isoflavone contents expressed as total aglycone of feed meal was the highest with content of $1288.5{\mu}g/g$ followed by those of dehulled meal.

Distillation condensate generated from downstream processing of microbial alcohol fermentation imposes a serious burden to biological wastewater treatment or anaerobic digestion due to its high contents of SS (suspended solids) and TN (total nitrogen), A pilot scale microfiltration of the stillage condensate with a stainless steel SCEPTER membrane of 0.1 ${\mu}$m pore size was carried out to remove SS which was mostly composed of microbial cell residue. A stable permeate flux was achieved when the decanter effluent containing 0.7% of SS was filtered under the conditions of X10 VCR (volume concentration ratio), 2.5 bar of TMP (transmembrane pressure), and 60$^{\circ}C$. When stillage condensate with 2.6% SS was treated directly with microfiltration, VCR below X3 was recommended for a long duration of filtration. The permeate and retentate obtained from microfiltration were recycled to make-up medium of fermentation. Adding permeate or retentate up to 30% of fermentation volume showed no distinguished undesirable influence during the course of alcohol fermentation. Although only slight improvements in the final amount of CO$_2$ evolution and alcohol content were observed, fermentation rate increased so that the required time to reach 450 L/ton of CO$_2$ evolution was shortened to 72% of that with normal media.

Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO, P>221 bar, T>$374^{\circ}C$) is a promising method for the decomposition of refractory organic compounds. In this study, the SCWO of Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was carried out in a tubular-type continusous reactor system with an $H_2O_2$ oxidant at $387-500^{\circ}C$, 250 bar and residence time (RT) of 15.9-88.9 s. The decomposition efficiencies increased with increasing temperature and oxidant amount, while it was inversely proportional to feed flow rate. The decomposition efficiency of 99.6% was obtained at $500^{\circ}C$, 250 bar, oxidant amount of 400% and residence time of 40.1 s. The effect of temperature on the decomposition efficiency was more significant than that of oxidant amount. In the case of the decomposition efficiency of 5,000 mg/L of EDTA (3,063 mg/L as $COD_{Cr}$), the decompostion of 99% or higher was obtained at the condition of over 40.1 s (RT) and 200 stoichiometric % of $H_2O_2$ in the supercritical water of $500^{\circ}C$ and 250 bar.

To establish an indoor-rearing system for the Large Copper butterfly, $Lycaena$ $dispar$ and the Small Copper butterfly, $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$, the effect of temperature, photoperiod and host plants on larval development was investigated. The larvae of $Lycaena$ $dispar$ fed on $Rumex$ $crispus$, whereas the larvae of $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ ate both $Rumex$ $crispus$ and $Rumex$ $acetosa$. The duration of the larval period of $Lycaena$ $dispar$ was 13.8 days on $R.$ $crispus$ and that, of $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ was 15.9 days and 15.2 days on $R.$ $acetosa$ and $R.$ $crispus$ respectively. Laboratory experiments show that the Large Copper larvae are able to feed on other $Rumex$ species without harming their overall survival and can utilize these alternative host plants at least as efficiently as their natural host plant. This result suggests that plant chemistry is not responsible for their lack of utilization of the alternative host plants in the wild. Host plant choice by ovipositing females was measured with the two alternative hosts. $Lycaena$ $dispar$ preferred $R.$ $crispus$ to $R.$ $acetosa$, wheareas $Lycaena$ $phlaeas$ preferred $R.$ $acetosa$ to $R.$ $crispus$. Temperature has been proposed as an important determinant of developmental rate, lifespan and mortality in invertebrates. As temperature increased, length of the developmental period gradually decreased. The developmental period of the Large Copper larvae was 11.0 days and 28.5 days at $30^{\circ}C$ and $17.5^{\circ}C$, respectively.

We found 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adipocyte fatty acid bonding protein (FABP4) gene as candidate gene of FAT1 locus on pig chromosome 4. With over 800 heads of major commercial pig breeds including Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire and Yorkshire, we analyzed SNPs of FABP4 gene to determine possible effects of FABP4 genotype to economically important traits. $400{\sim}800\;bp$ amplicons in FABP4 gene were used PCR-RFLP for each SNPs and we found that the frequency of some SNPs of this gene was different among the breeds. According to the statistical analyses to determine possible associations of each genotype with economic traits, it was found that subgroup with different genotypes showed significant differences in daily gain, backfat thickness, lean percentage and feed conversion ratio (P<0.05). Thus, as a Part of enhancing the selection competence related to swine growth rate and lean percentage, it is expected that FABP4 gene markers verified in this study will be useful to use for Korean commercial pig industry.

To investigate the characteristics of substitute natural gas (SNG) production from direct coal methanation, the continuous lab-scale entrained flow hydrogasifier (I.D. : 0.025 m, Height : 1.0 m) was used in this experiment. The hydrogasification system consisted of high pressure gas handling system, high pressure coal feeder, entrained flow hydrogasifier, and unreacted char separator. The experiment was performed at the various conditions of reaction temperature ($600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$), $H_2$/coal ratio (0.2~0.4), and coal feed rate (0.8~2.5 g/min). Although it was shown that carbon conversion was different trends with coals from the methanation results for 6 sample coals, the carbon conversion increased with increasing reaction temperature. And it increased with increasing H2/coal ratio, whereas the concentration of CH4 decreased. Also. the carbon conversion increased with the carbon content of coal sample and had a maximum value at volatile matter content of 35 wt％.
