Thermal performance of a solar heating plastic greenhouse designed for a hydroponic system was studied. The system was constructed with the air-water heat exchanger and thermal storage tank that were combined with hydroponic water beds. Experiments were carried out to investigate the daily average heat stored and released in thermal storage tank, average solar energy collection efficiency, average coefficient of performance, average oil reduction factor of thermal storage system, and the heat transfer coefficient during the nighttime in plastic greenhouse. The results obtained in the present study are summarized as follows. 1. Daily average heat stored in thermal storage tank and released from the thermal storage tank was 1,259 and $797KJ/m^2$ day, respectively. 2. The average solar energy collection efficiency of thermal storage tank was 0.125 during the experiment period. And the average coefficient of performance of thermal storage system in plastic greenhouse was 3.6. 3. The average oil reduction factor of thermal storage system and the heat transfer coefficient during the nighttime in plastic greenhouse were found to be 0.52 and $4.3W/m^2\;hr\;^{\circ}C$, respectively.

실험실에서 제작한 HCP와 IPS를 이용하여 Ti:Sapphire 레이저를 발진시키고 그 특성을 조사하였다. 레이저의 문지방 에너지 1.39kJ로 나타났다. 레이저 효율은 LD-490의 농도 10$\times$10-3Mol/l일 때 가장 높은 효율을 나타내었으며, LD-490의 농도가 낮으면 효율도 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 레이저의 출력은 5.42 kJ의 입력 에너지에 대해 287mJ이었다. Ar의 방출대와 일치하는 BBQ(bis[2-butyloctyl)oxy]quatephenyl)를 LD-490과 1:1로 혼합하여 에너지 전환제로 사용한 결과 측정한 전구간에 걸쳐 출력 에너지가 증가하였고 문지방 에너지가 LD-490만을 사용할 때 보다 0.22 kJ이 낮아진 1.17 kJ이었다.

도열병에 대한 감수성 정토가 다른 두 품종의 혼합재배에 의한 무농약 도열병 방제효과를 조사하였다. 재배 생력화를 위해 도열병 저항성을 제외한 품질을 비롯한 벼의 유전적 형질이 유사한 품종조합을 선발한 결과 '호평벼'와 '남평벼'의 조합을 1:1로 종자 혼합을 통한 혼합재배를 실시하였을 때 50.4%의 이삭도열병 방제효과가 있었다(2007). 단일재배시 최대 67.4%까지 우점을 보이던 KJ-101레이스가 혼합재배구에서 최소 29.4%로 감소하였고 그 외의 기타 레이스들이 차지하는 비율은 5.4%에서 9.0%로 증가하였으며 11개의 새로운 레이스가 분리되었다. 단독 혹은 혼합재배에 관계없이 분리된 레이스의 수는 유사하였으나 혼합재배 시 새로운 레이스가 차지하는 비율이 12.5%에서 62.5%로 증가하였고 레이스 간 밀도의 차이는 23.6%에서 8.8%로 감소하였다. 이러한 병원균 레이스 다양성의 변화와 레이스 밀도의 균형이 혼합재배에 의한 도열병 발생의 감소와 깊은 관련이 있을 것으로 추정되며 이와 더불어 혼합재배 효과에 대한 좀 더 명확한 설명을 위해 병원력을 비롯한 레이스의 유전적 형질에 관한 연구가 추후 보완되어져야 할 것이다.

The induction of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) by ultraviolet(UV) radiation provides a protective defense against oxidative stress, and has been well demonstrated in UVA-irradiated skin, but not UVB. In this study in mice, we show that the UVB(290-320nm) radiation can be attributed to the induction of cutaneous heme oxygenase-1. The expression of HO-1 mRNA was assessed in vivo by the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, and HO-1 enzyme activity was measured in microsomal preparation from irradiated mice. The mRNA level of HO-1 increases in liver and skin from 24h to 72h after UVB($3KJ/m^3$) radiation. The results of gene expression were same pattern of HO enzyme activity in skin, but not in liver. HO-1 mRNA in liver resulted in a progressive increase to 96h after UVB radiation, but HO activity in liver increased to 48h. This finding indicates that UVB radiation is an important inducer of HO-1 and increases in HO activity may protect tissues directly or indirectly from oxidative stress.

The induction of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) by UV radiation provides a protective defence against oxidative stress, and has been well demonstrated in skin irradiated with UVA, but not UVB. In this study, we show that the induction of cutaneous HO-l can be attributed to UVB radiation. The expression of HO-1 mRNA was assessed in vivo by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, and HO-1 enzyme activity was measured in microsomal preparation from irradiated mice. The mRNA level of HO-1 increases in liver and skin from 1d to 3d after UVB $(3KJ/m^2)$ exposure. The results of gene expression were same pattern of HO-1 enzyme activity in skin, but not in liver. HO-1 mRNA in liver resulted in a progressive increase to 4d after UVB exposure, but HO-1 activity in liver increased to 2d. This finding indicates that UVB radiation is an important inducer of HO-1 and increases in HO activity may protect tissue directly or indirectly from oxidative stress.

A method for fabrication of nano-scale GaN structure by inductively coupled plasma etching is proposed, exploiting a thermal dewetting of Pt thin film as an etch mask. The nano-scale Pt metal islands were formed by the dewetting of 2-dimensional film on $SiO_2$ dielectric materials during rapid thermal annealing process. For the case of 30 nm thick Pt films, pattern formation and dewetting was initiated at temperatures greater $600^{\circ}C$. Controlling the annealing temperature and time as well as the thickness of the Pt metal film affected the size and density of Pt islands. The activation energy for the formation of Pt metal island was calculated to be 23.2 KJ/mole. The islands show good resistance to dry etching by a $CF_4$ based plasma for dielectric etching indicating that the metal islands produced by dewetting are suitable for use as an etch mask in the fabrication of nano-scale structures.

The glyoxylate cycle can conserve carbons and adequately supply tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates for biosynthesis when microorganisms grow on $C_{2}$ carbon sources. It has been reported that isocitrate lyase (ICL1), a key enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, is highly induced when Magnaporthe grisea, the causal agent of rice blast, infects its host. Therefore, the glyoxylate cycle is considered as a new target for antifungal agents. A 1.6-kb DNA fragment encoding the ICL1 from M. grisea KJ201 was amplified by PCR, cloned into a vector providing His-tag at the N-terminus, expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the purified ICL1 was approximately 60 kDa, as determined by SDS-PAGE. The ICL1 inhibitory effects of TCA cycle intermediates and their analogs were investigated. Among them, 3-nitropropionate was found to be the strongest inhibitor with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.0{\mu}g/ml$. 3-Nitropropionate inhibited the appressorium development in M. grisea at the ${\mu}M$ level, whereas conidia germination remained unaffected. This compound also inhibited the mycelial growth of the fungus on minimal medium containing acetate as a $C_{2}$ carbon source. These results suggest that ICL1 plays a crucial role in appressorium formation of M. grisea and is a new target for the control of phytopathogenic fungal infection.

The physical method used to prevent a landslide has the risk of environmental pollution. Calcite forming bacteria (CFB) have been received increasing attention as a novel and environmental friendly strategy for the soil improvement. In this study, we selected 11 CFB strains with high calcite production. We also examined survivability and calcite productivity of the strains under various stress conditions to select strains with high resistance to various stresses. Two strains was selected by environment stress. Sphingobacterium sp. KJ-32 and Viridibacillus arenosi B-25 precipitate calcite more than other strains at pH 5 and $15^{\circ}C$ respectively. Bio-consolidated soil cakes were made using various calcium salts (calcium chloride, calcium acetate, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate) with mixed culture of 2 strains. Among them, the calcite made using calcium chloride was the largest. These observations demonstrate that this bio-consolidation technology has the potential for eco-friendly prevention of landslide and soil improvement.

The biosynthesis and catabolite repression of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase(CGTase) and cyclodextrinase(CDase) were studied in Bacillus sp. KJI6. In accompanying to the cell growth, CGTase was synthesized during early growth phase (20h culture) and CDase was synthesized during late growth phase (60h culture). Synthesis of CGTase was rather constitutive than that of CDase in the absence or presence of carbon source. Production of CDase was strongly stimulated by amylopectin and $\gamma$-CD medium (about 6 times), but CGTase synthesis was slightly increased (about 1.3 times). Easily metabolizable carbohydrates such as D-glucose, D- fructose and D-mannose completely repressed the expression of CDase, whereas their repressive effect to CGTase synthesis was relatively negligible. By addition of 10 mM cAMP, any significant effect on the synthesis of the two enzymes was not observed. Hardly metabolizable glucose analogues such as 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 3-0-methyl-D-glucopyranose also did not show any repression on the syntheses of CGTase and CDase. This indicates that D-glucose has to be metabolized to exert its repressive effect. With these results, it seems likely that the biosynthesis of CGTase and CDase are regulated by the catabolite repression due to unknown metabolite(s) of EM pathway.

Ai-8wt.5(Ti+Zr)합금을 기계적합금화와 열간압출로 제조하여 Ti에 대한 Zr 첨가비와 등온열처리가 고온인장강도 및 변형거동에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. Ti에 대한 Zr 첨가량의 비가 증가함에 따라 열간압출 시편의 상온 및 고온강도가 증가하였고, 40$0^{\circ}C$ 및 51$0^{\circ}C$에서 등온열처리에 따른 강도의 감소도 작게 나타났다. 이는 Zr 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 AI 기지와 AI3Ti에 비해 작은 격자간불일치도를 갖는 AI3(Ti+Zr)금속간화합물이 생성되고 고온열처리에 따른 조대화가 억제되었기 때문으로 판단되었다. 합금의 연성은 Zr 첨가량과 등온열처리에 관계없이 10% 이하로 낮게 나타났으며 인장 시험 온도가 고온일수록 취성파괴인 입계파괴가 지배적으로 일어났다. AI-Ti-Zr 합금의 변형에 필요한 활성화에너지는 순수한 AI 기지의 자기확산에 필요한 활성화에너지 142KJ/mol에 비해 573-783K 온도범위에서 1.5-1.8배 높은 값을 보였으며, Ti에 대한 Zr의 첨가량의 비가 증가할수록 보다 높은 값을 나타내었다.
