High quality seed of proso millet that has high germination percentage, germination speed, and uniformity demanded to increases rates of mechanization in cereal crop cultivation. In order to improve germination characteristics, proso millet seeds were treated with red light, ultrasonication and liquid smoke (LS) solution that generated from hickory wood. All treatments were performed in seed priming solution with 100mM $NH_4NO_3$ at $15^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs under aeration condition. Seeds were exposed under light intensity of 2000 lux for 15m, 30m, 60m, and 120m in priming solution. Ultrasonic treatment was performed at 60%, 80%, and 100% intensity of 21.6 KHz for 5m, 10m, and 20m in priming solution. For LS treatment seed were soaked in 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 5.0% and 10.0% of diluted solution with $dH_2O$ or 100mM $NH_4NO_3$ solution. The effect of seed treatment was evaluated with germination percentage (GP), mean germination time (MGT), germination index (GI), germination rate (GR), Germination uniformity (GU) and heath seed percentage (HS). Our results demonstrate that red light (15min) or ultrasonication (21.6kHz, 5min) treatment improved MGT, GI, GR, and GU comparing to untreated control. Importantly, we show that LS treatments have significant effect on the health seedling and germination characteristics. Proso millet seeds that treated with 5% LS solution for 24hrs improves HS up to 97% that similar results obtained in 100mM $NH_4NO_3$ priming for 24hrs. The combined treatment with LS solution and 100mM $NH_4NO_3$ priming were not effective in all treatments. Our results demonstrate that treating seeds with LS or 100mM $NH_4NO_3$ priming or ultrasonication improves germination characteristics. The methods described here will help advance research using this species by increasing the germination performance at which successive seed pellet process.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of GGX on an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mice model. Methods: Balb/c mice were challenged with OVA and then treated with three concentrations of GGX (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg). After sacrifice, the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) or lungs of the mice were analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, ELISA, real-time PCR, H&E, Masson's trichrome, PAS and AB-PAS staining, and immunohistofluorescence staining. Results: GGX significantly inhibited the increase of total cells, immune cells (lymphocyte, neutrophils, macrophage, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD69+, CD62L-CD44high+, Gr-1+SiglecF-), and the expression of cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IFN-γ) in BALF. It also significantly inhibited the increase of total cells, immune cells (lymphocyte, neutrophils, eosinophil/macrophage, CD3+, CD19+, CD3+CD193+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+CD69+, CD62L-CD44high+, and Gr-1+SiglecF-), and the expression of IL-13, TARC, and MCP-1 in lung tissue. GGX decreased the severity of histological lung injury and the expressions of STAT3 and GATA3. Conclusion: This study suggests the probability of using GGX for the treatment of asthma by inhibiting inflammatory immune response.

Selection of pepper (Capsicum sp.) cultivars tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides {imazethapyr, 2-[4,5-dihydro-4-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-5-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-ethyl-3=pyridine-carboxylic acid, and primisulfuron methyl 2-[[[[[4,6-bis(difluoromethoxy)-2-pyrimidinyl]amino] carbonyl]amino]sulfonyl]benzoate} was investigated. Pepper cultivars such as Red Top, Happy Dry, Golden Tower, and Hagyeorae showed relatively tolerant response to imazethapyr, while cultivars; Korea, Cheongyang, Oriental Glory, and Hanam were susceptible. Red Horn, Jopoong, Kwangbok, and Wangcho cultivars were tolerant to primisulfuron whereas Korea, Dahhong, Chamjoah, and Poongchon cultivars were susceptible. Determination of growth inhibition by ALS-inhibiting herbicides showed that the $I_{50}$ estimates of growth from the susceptible- and tolerant-cultivars were 0.075 and 0.20kg ai/ha for imazethapyr; 0.06 and 0.16kg ai/ha for primisulfuron, respectively. Furthermore, the $GR_{50}$ estimates of growth from the susceptible and tolerant cultivars were 0.05 and 0.20kg ai/ha for imazethapyr; 0.07 and 0.16kg ai/ha for primisulfuron, respectively. This result, based on the $GR_{50}$ and $I_{50}$ values, indicates that responses of pepper to ALS-inhibiting herbicides between tolerant- and susceptible-cultivars were different about 3- to 4-fold to imazethapyr, and 2- to 3-fold to primisulfuron.

This study was carried out to determine the effects of processing methods of barley as a proper source of grain in diets of Hanwoo on fermentation pattern in the rumen fluid and digestibility of the diets, the growth performance and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo. The degree of ruminal pH change in the cows fed diets of the Corn(corn basis) and GDRB(ground and dry-rolled barley) tended to be greater than those in the cows fed other two diets (ground barley, GB and dry-rolled barley, DRB). The diet of GDRB showed the lowest ruminal pH(5.5), indicating the rapid degradation of the diet in the rumen. Although ammonia concentration was not affected by diet, the GR and DBR diets maintained the low concentrations of ruminal ammonia compared with other two treatments. And the effects of feeding processed barley grain on body weight gain and meat quality of Hanwoo steers were as follows. Steers fed DRB diet had the highest body weight, 683.0kg at 28 months old, while those fed the GDRB showed the lowest body weight, 653.3kg. The average daily gain(ADG) was similar between the steers fed Corn and GR throughout the whole period, but the GDRB showed the lowest ADG. The steers fed the DRB showed the significant increase in ADG(0.89kg/d from 19 to 23 months old and 0.43kg/d from 24 to 28 months old) compared with those fed other diets. Feeding diets containing corn and/or barley did not influence live body weight, cold carcass weight, carcass yield, back-fat thickness and carcass grade of Hanwoo steers.

The purpose of this paper is to manufacture the non-sintered ceramic used lime and industrial waste. The used materials were basalt powder sludge, calcium hydroxide(Ca(OH)2) and additives such as calcium stearate and $TiO_2$. The mixing ratios between Ca(OH)2 and sludge were 5:5, 6:4 and 8:2, respectively. The ceramic forms were pressured by 100, 200 and 300 bar and cured in 14% CO2 for 12 days. The behaviors of compressive strength, specific gravity, water absorption and pH of ceramic form were investigated. The results were compressive strength of over 36 MPa, water absorption of over 8.8%, pH value of over 12.3. And these results satisfied GR F 4006 and 4031 standard.

An in vitro trial was conducted to examine the effects of total mixed rations (TMR) on fermentation characteristics and effective degradability (ED) by rumen microbes. Three TMR diets were growing period TMR (GR-TMR, 67% TDN), early fattening period TMR (EF-TMR, 75.4% TDN) and late fattening TMR (LF-TMR, 80% TDN). Three TMR diets (3 g of TMRs in each incubation bottles) was added to the mixed culture solution of stained rumen fluid with artificial saliva (1:1, v/v) and incubated anaerobically for 48 hours at $39^{\circ}C$. The pH in all incubation solutions tended to decrease up to 48h, but the opposite results were found in concentration of total gas production, ammonia-N and total VFA in all incubations.The total gas production (p<0.05) in LF-TMR was highest compared with those of other diets. Also, concentration of total VFA was tended to increase in LF-TMR compared with other TMR diets in all incubations. The EDDM in both EF-TMR and LF-TMR was tended to high compared with GR-TMR (p=0.100). In this in vitro trials, concentration of propionate in all incubation solution was not affected by increased concentration of TDN. The results of the present in vitro study indicate that TMR may provide more favorable condition for nutrient digestion both in the rumen.

To investigate the flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) dependency of carbon steel (A106 Gr. B) and low-alloy steels (1Cr-1/2Mo, 21/4Cr-1Mo) on pH, orifice distance, and material, experiments were carried out. These experiments were performed using a flow velocity of 4 m/sec (partly 9 m/sec) at pH $8.0\~10.0$ in an oxygen-free aqueous solution re-circulated in an Erosion-Corrosion Test Loop at $130^{\circ}\;{\ldots}$ for 500 hours. The weight loss of the carbon steel specimens appeared to be positively dependent on the flow velocity. That of the carbon and low-alloy steel specimens also showed to be distinguishably dependent on the pH. At pH levels of $8.0\~9.5$ it decreased, but increased from 9.5 to 10.0. Utility water chemistry personnel should carefully consider this kind of pH dependency to control the water system pH to mitigate FAC of the piping system material. The weight loss of the specimens located further from the orifice in the distance range of $6.8\~27.2$ mm was shown to be greater, except for 21/4Cr-1Mo, which showed no orifice distance dependency. Low alloy steel specimens exhibited a factor of two times better resistance to FAC than that of the carbon steel. Based on this kind of FAC dependency of the carbon and low-alloy steels on the orifice distance and material, we conclude that it is necessary to alternate the composition of the secondary piping system material of NPPs, using low-alloy steels, such as 21/4Cr-1Mo, particularly when the system piping has to be replaced.

This study was conducted to test the Cd accumulation and Cd-tolerance of Pisotithus tinctorius(Pt). Pt was isolated from Pinus thunbergii forest in Muan, Chonnam Province in 1997. Pt was cultured on MMN medium supplemented with $CdSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$ at the final concentration of 0, 0.2, 0.5, 2, and $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ for 40 days. Growth rate and tolerance index of the fungus were measured every week, while Cd concentration, superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione reductase(GR) of the fungus were analyzed at the end of the culturing, Pt showed growth reduction in vitro at $2{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Cd in the medium and almost stopped growth at $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Cd. Tolerance index of Pt decreased with increasing Cd concentration. Cd concentration of Pt was the highest at $10{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Cd. Activities of SOD did not show significant difference between Cd concentrations, but GR of Pt increased at $0.5{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Cd, and decreased at $2{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ Cd. Consequently Pt could be called Cd accumulator with a tolerance mechanism to Cd. Their tolerance to Cd were expressed through the higher production of antioxidants such as GR. Pt may be used for revegetation and decontamination of soil polluted by heavy metals.

Wir leben heute in der sosenannten Wissensgesellschaft. Diese Geseilschaft kann durch den Zugang zu immensen Wissens- und Informationsbestanden sowie durch einen fruher nicht denkbaren Grad an $Akualit\"{a}t$ dieser Informationen gekennzeichnet werden Deutsche Unternehmen haben bereits erkannt, dass das Wissen ihrer Mitarbeiter den Wert eines Unternehmens $ma{\ss}geblich$ bestimmt. Deshalb fordern sie von ihren Mitarbeitern, sich immer speziellere, immer neuere Wissensinhaite bzw. Informationen immer schneller anzueignen. Dies gilt auch $f\"{u}r$ Fremdsprachen, deren Kenntnis im Prozess der weit vorangeschrittenen Internationalisierung und Globalisierung als ein wesentliches Instrument vorausgesetzt wird. Der Hangel an fremdsprachlichen $F\"{a}higkeiten$ in Betrieben wirkt sick vol allem auf ihre Kompetenz im Umgang mil einer steigenden Anzahl von $Gesch\"{a}ftskontakten$ und ihre $ausl\"{a}ndischen$ $M\"{a}rkte$ aus. D. h. er bedeutet in einer durch zunehmenden Wettbewerb bestimmten Weit Marktverluste. Unternehmen sollen Herausforderungen $bew\"{a}ltigen$, die $gro{\ss}e$ interaktive und kommunikative $F\"{a}higkeit$ erfordern, $Ver\"{a}nderungen$ zu begreifen, sich ihnen zu stollen und sie zu $\"{u}berwinden$, um erfolgreich einen $gr\"{o}{\ss}eren$ Wirkungskreis auf den $Weltm\"{a}rkten$ zv erreichen. Deutsche Unternehmen erkennen inzwischen die besondere Bedeutung von $Fremdsprachenf\"{a}higkeiten$ ihrer Mitarbeiter $f\"{u}r$ Erfdlgssicherung und -ausbau. Diese Erkenntnisse ergeben sich auch aufgrund von Unternehmensbefragungen (z.B. vom Institut der deutschen Wirtschafi, $K\"{o}ln$). In fast allen Unternehmen ist Englisch die Fremdsprache Nummer Eins. Sie brauchen allerdings mehr als eine Fremdsprache. In der Regel werden zwei bis drei Fremdsprachen pro Betrieb $ben\"{o}tigt$. Wie $gro{\ss}$ der Fremdsprachenbedarf ist, $h\"{a}ngt$ von verschiedenen Faktoren ab: 1) Je $gr\"{o}{\ss}er$ ein Betrieb ist, desto wichtiger werden die fremdsprachlichen $F\"{a}higkeiten$ seiner Mitarbeiter. 2) In Firmen mit Auslandsverbindung und Unternehmen, die Teil eines $ausl\"{a}ndischen $Betriebes sind bzw $ausl\"{a}indische$ Niederlassungen haben, ist der Fremdsprachenbedarf von $gro{\ss}er$ Bedeutung. 3) Nach Branchen ist der Fremdsprachenbedarf differenziert. Fremdsprachenkenntnisse sind im exportorientierten produzierenden Gewerbe unverzichtbar. 4) In den verschiedenen Unternehmensbereichen werden Fremdsprachenkenntnisse differenziert $ben\"{o}tigt$. Funktionsbereiche wie Verkauf und Kundenbetreuung haben den $st\"{a}rksten$ Fremdsprachenbedarf, Kommunikation ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung $f\"{u}r$ erfolgreiche Verhandlungen. Je $gr\"{o}{\ss}er$ die sprachliche $F\"{a}higkeiten$ und das Geschick der Mitarbeiter sind, umso besser laufen die $Gesch\"{a}ftsverhandlungen$. Damit wird klar, weshalb sich viele deutsche Unternehmen beim Fremdsprachenlernen, bzw. bei der Fort- und Weiterbildung von Fremdsprachenkenntnissen ihrer Mitarbeiter spendabel zeigen.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate effective weed control in direct-seeded rice under dry fields. The results obtained are as follows. Cyhalofop/bentazone EW and cyhalofop/pendimethalin EC were very effective for the weed control but cyhalofop/cinosulfuron WP and cyhalofop/azimsulfuron SC were tended to exhibit the lower weeding effect. The plant height and the tiller number of rice were not greatly affected by herbicides, but rice yield was greatly influenced by them. The control efficacy was observed the extend of 94% until 60days after seeding under the treatment of systematic herbicides such as foliar applied pendimethalin propanil EC at 15days after seeding mowed by pyrazosulfuron molinate GR at 5days after irrigation. Irrigation at 25days after seeding was able to control annual weeds by the extent of 25% and exhibited control effect of 94% on systematic treatment of herbicides compared with that of 35days after seeding.
