  • Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (BYDV), an aphid-borne luteovirus, is a major plant pathogenic disease causing a huge economic loss in the grain production of a wide range of Gramineae species throughout the world. It has been recently reported that BYDV also occurred frequently in wheat field of Korea. Here, we performed to develop the detection and classification methods of BYDV strains that were accomplished by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Since there are high variations among BYDV strains, three pairs of primers were designed to detect BYDV strains such as PAV (Vic-PAV and CN-PAV) and MAV (primer A) simultaneously, specifically Vic-PAV(primer B), and MAV (primer C) based on the genomic RNA sequences of BYDV strains previously published. The validity of the primers was confirmed using several BYDV strains obtained from CIMMYT. Though three BYDV strains were able to be detected using primer A, PCR products were not distinguished between two PAV strains. It was possible to separate them with a restriction enzyme, EcoRI, whose restriction site was present in the amplified DNA fragment from Vic-PAV, but not from CN-PAV.

  • Wheat is one of the most important cereal grain in the world, and also the staple next to rice in Korea based on its consumption. Although wheat planted area was dramatically decreased during late two decades in Korea compared to those of 1960s, fortunately there has been a continuous effort in recent to revive the wheat cultivating in this country by the non-government organizations such as Woorimil, Kanong etc. As the resusts, the cultivation area has increased to 3,792ha in 2004 from near zero ha of late 1980s. However there are many a pending problem that has to be solve In near future to enlarge the area more and more. The improvement of the postharvest technologies in wheat is one of the homeworks. This paper presents the numerous technologies that are applied to wheat as it moved from the field to final users. it investigated the technologies for harvesting, drying, storing and handling, insect management, and transporting, and blending in advanced wheat producing country..

  • To derive easily the coefficient of permeability from several other soil properties, the estimation model of coefficient of permeability was proposed using linear regression analysis. The coefficient of permeability is one of the major factors to evaluate the soil characteristics. The study area is located in Kangwon-do Pyeongchang-gun Jinbu-Myeon. Soil samples of 45 spots were taken from the study area and various soil tests were carried out in laboratory. After selecting the soil factor influenced by the coefficient of permeability through the correlation analysis, the estimation model of coefficient of permeability was developed using the linear regression analysis between the selected soil factor and the coefficient of permeability from permeability test. Also, the estimation model of coefficient of permeability was compared with the results from permeability test and empirical equation, and the suitability of proposed model was proved. As the result of correlation analysis between various soil factors and the coefficient of permeability using SPSS(statistical package for the social sciences), the largest influence factor of coefficient of permeability were the effective grain size, porosity and dry unit weight. The coefficient of permeability calculated from the proposed model was similar to that resulted from permeability test. Therefore, the proposed model can be used in case of estimating the coefficient of permeability at the same soil condition like study area.

  • This study was conducted to assess the nutrient intake and diet quality of college students in Seoul. Dietary survery data were obtained by 24-hour recall method from 774 students, 553 males and 191 females. Mean daily intake of energy was 2,480kcal with 56.4% of energy intake from carbohydrate, 14.6% from protein, and 25.5% from fat. Percentage of fat was higher than mean values of National Nutrition Survey(NNS), adults in rural area or younger students in previous studies. Mean daily intakes of calcium and vitamin A did not meet RDA levels in both sexes and intake of iron in females was insufficient to meet RDA level. The percentage of animal food to total food intake was 25% and consumption of meat, beverage and milk group was higher than those of National Nutrition Survey(NNS). When the consumption of 5 major food groups(grain, meat, milk, fruit, vegetable) were evaluated, 22% of students consumed all 5 groups and 47% consumed 4 groups, which show more balanced food group intake than adults in rural area. Food groups which were omitted frequently were milk and fruit. These results show that college students in Seoul consume better diet than subjects of National Nutrition Survey(NNS) or adults in rural area. However, high fat intake, low calcium and vitamin A intake and low iron level in women were observed. Majority(78%) of students had at least one food group omitted in their diet. Appropriate nutrition education may help to improve the quality of diet in these students.

  • Since its invention at TWI in 1991, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has become a major joining process in the aerospace, railway and ship building industries especially in the fabrication of aluminium alloys. In an attempt to optimize the friction stir welding process of Al alloys for extrusion Aluminium carbody of HEMU-400X (Extrusion Aluminum 6xxx series), effects of joining parameters such as tool rotating speed, plunging depth and dwelling time on the weld joints properties were evaluated. Experimental tests were carried out for butt joined Al plates. A wide range of joining conditions could be applied to join Al alloys for Extrusion Aluminum 6xxx series without defects in the weld zone except for certain welding conditions with an insufficient heat input. The microstructures of welds have dynamic-recrystallized grain similar to stir zone in FSW weld. For sound joints without defects, at the rotation speed of 700 rpm with different welding speeds, the tensile strengths of the Stir Zone(SZ) were almost the same, 80% of those of the base metal.

  • Quantitative evaluation was performed on the microstructure of flux-cored arc(FCA) weld metal using a method blown as IIW scheme. It was mainly intended to figure out any practical difficulties in applying this method and also to provide the consumable makers with basic guide line in developing FCA welding consumables far better properties. Assessment of the experimental results showed IIW scheme was quite reliable in the low heat input range where the acicular ferrite was a major constituent. However, in the high heat input range, some scatter was noticed as the other phases like grain boundary ferrite and Widmansttaten ferrite become dominant. It implies that the accuracy of IIW scheme depends on the faction of microstructural constituents and it become worse as the fraction of latter two phases increases. This tendency was discussed in terms of the characteristics of those two phases. In addition, base line microstructure of rutile type FCA weld metal was addressed for developing new FCA welding consumables intended for higher heat input welding.

  • Purpose: This study investigated the quality characteristics of vegetable pancake prepared with various levels of barley flour. Methods: The pH level and spreadability of the batters as well as the color, texture, and sensory evaluation of the vegetable pancake were analyzed. Results: The results show that spreadability of batter significantly decreased as the substitution amount of barley flour increased (p<0.001). The pH level of the batter significantly decreased as the substitution amount of barley flour increased (p<0.001). Redness and yellowness increased as the substitution amount of barley flour increased. For texture, the sample groups with substituted barley flour showed high characteristics of hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. Principal component analysis showed that the sample group with a high substitution amount of barley flour was characterized by relatively high darkness, roasted grain aroma, bitterness, astringent, and chalkiness. Acceptance test found that the sample group with 15% barley flour received higher acceptance than the sample group with 0% barley flour in terms of color, texture, and overall acceptance. Conclusion: Acceptance test found that the sample group with 15% or 30% of barley flour had significantly higher or similar acceptance attributes than the sample group without barley flour, which suggests the possibility of developing vegetable pancake with barley flour.

  • The electrochemical characteristics of Al-Si casting alloys (Al-10%Si, Al-9%Si, Al-7%Si) in 3.5% NaCl solution at room temperature was studied using potentiodynamic techniques. The electrochemical values of corrosion potential($E_c$), corrosion current density($I_c$) and corrosion rate(mpy) were examined. The Al-Si alloys had several compounds such as $Mg_2Si$, ${\pi}$-$Al_8Si_6Mg_2Fe$ and $Al_2CuMg$ which could affect corrosion resistance significantly. The potentiodynamic polarization curve exhibited typical active behavior in anodic polarization curve. The major corrosion mechansim for the Al-Si alloys were pitting and grain boundary corrosion. As increasing Si and Cu contents, their corrosion resistance was decreased.

  • No-till direct-sown rice-wheat relaying cropping system has major advantages such as labor and cost saving by eliminating tillage and preparation of seed bed and transplanting. In this system, rice sowing was done simultaneously wheat harvesting. A paddy field experiment was conducted to evaluate effects of no-till years on soil microbial changes and soil physico-chemical characteristics with rice growth and development. Chemical fertilizers and agricultrual chemicals was not applied in no-till system. As the year in no-till direct-sown system the air permeability was increased and after water submerging soluble nitrogen was released Aerobic microbial-n was highest in May and then decreased after water irrigation. The population of aerobic soil microorganisms were steeply decreased after water submerging Soil microorganisms was decreased with the increased the soil depth. A month was needed for the seedling establishment in a no-tillage rice-wheat cropping system. Increased cropping years improved leaf greenness and leaf area index(LAI). But stomatal conductance(Gc) was higher in conventional cultivation system than no-till system. Stomatal conductance at panicle initiation stage was increased higher in conventional condition of leaves but the difference between conventional and no-till system was increased at heading stage. In no-till 4 years condition rice grain yield was spikelet numbers per panicle.
