Aerodynamic characteristics of three-dimensional wings in ground effect for Aero-levitation Electric Vehicle(AEV) are numerically investigated for various ground clearances and wing spans at the Reynolds number of $2\times10^6$. Numerical results show that a sizeable three-dimensional flow separation occurs with formation of an arch vortex at the junction of main and vertical wings, and that this is conjectured a primary cause for the high lift-to-drag(L/D) reduction rate of the main wing, when the wing span is decreased. Improvements on L/D ratios of the wings with small spans are pursued by breaking the coherence of superimposed adverse pressure gradients at the wing junction.

Bioactive components of ultra-fine ground Saururus, the extraction yield increases when the leaves are ultra-fine ground. Comparison of normal-ground and ultra-fine ground Saururus chinensis leaves showed that the solid content and antiinflammatory activity of ultra-fine ground extracts was higher than that of normal-ground extracts. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells were treated with different concentrations of Saururus chinensis extract and the amount of nitric oxide (NO) was determined; LPS-treated cells produced 2 times more NO than cells that were not treated with LPS. Moreover, the NO production in cells treated with Saururus chinensis extract was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner. Because the stimulant-induced NO production is regulated by the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), we measured the iNOS protein level to elucidate the mechanism by which the NO production was inhibited. We found that the amount of iNOS decreased dose-dependently. It was reduced by 53% at a Saururus chinensis extract concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. The protein expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in LPS-treated Raw 264.7 cells was inhibited by 31% at $100{\mu}g/mL$ of Saururus chinensis extract. Gel shift of the nuclear factor kappa B-DNA complex occurred in LPS-treated cells and the intensity of the band decreased gradually in a concentration-dependent manner. Ultra-fine ground Saururus chinensis extract had a concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on the production of prostaglandin $E_2$, tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$, interleukin $1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), IL-6, and IL-8 in LPS-treated Raw 264.7 cells, i.e., at $50{\mu}g/mL$ of Saururus chinensis extract, their levels were decreased by 53, 67, 52, 37, and 21% respectively.

Ground water samples were collected from residential, green" industrial, landfill and mining area and analyzed for 23 inorganics from March to October in 2002. The results are as follows; 1. The detection frequencies of inorganic materials such as As, Ba, B, Mo, Ca, Mg, Al, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Na, K were 7.2∼77.1% which showed that these inorganics were detected in many ground waters. 2. The detection frequencies of 7 inorganics(Cd, Cr, Ph, Se, Sb, Be, Tl) were commonly low at ranging from 0.42 to 2.5%. These inorganics were contained in ground water partially. 3. Three inorganics such as Hg, Ni, Ag were not detected in any ground-water samples. 4. Compared to the other areas, ground water samples from landfill area contained greater concentration in many inorgainics and then showed higher levels in industral, residential, mining and green area in order. 5. Compared to noted concentrations of bottled water, inorganic minerals including Ca, Mg, Na, K related to taste were fluent in target samples. The results showed that the average concentrations of Mg, Na, K were 4.0 mg/l, 14.7 mg/l, 1.5 mg/l respectively. 6. The concentrations of inorganics such as Sb, Ba, Mo, Be, Tl, K in some ground water samples exceeded the water quality standards of WHO, the US and UK. Especially, Ba, Mo, K also showed relatively high detection frequencies so these inorganics need to be considered as analytes in Korea Drinking Water Regulation in further study.

The lignocellulose that is a major component of spent coffee ground was degraded and saccharified. To implement the spent coffee, after several pre-treatments, inoculation of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and solid-state fermentation were conducted. The optimal temperature of the enzymes (lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, xylanase, laccase, and cellulase) for degradation of lignocellulose by P. chrysosporium was found. We also measured the maximum activity of enzymes (lignin peroxidase 0.15 IU/mL, manganese peroxidase 0.90 IU/mL, laccase 0.11 IU/mL, cellulase 5.87 IU/mL, carboxymethyl cellulase 9.52 IU/mL, xylanase 1.16 IU/mL) used for the process. As a result, 4.73 mg/mL of reduced sugar was obtained and 61.02% of lignin was degraded by solid state fermentation of P. chrysosporium on spent coffee ground.

This study was carried out to obtain the basic information about the sucker producing characteristics of certain burley tobacco varieties(Nicotiana tabacum L. var. burley) at Suwon and Chonju Experiment Station, Korea Ginseng & Tobacco Research Institute in 1999. The number and weight of suckers for 12 varieties or breeding lines were investigated three times, 45 days after transplanting for ground sucker, 10 days after topping, and 10 days after maleic hydrazide(MH) applying for upstalk sucker. KB 103 and KB 9416-1 produced less ground suckers and upstalk suckers than other entries did. KB 9210-8 produced less ground suckers and (Male sterile TC 612 x KB 108)F$_1$ also produced less upstalk suckers than other entries did. There was no differences among entries in sucker production at 10 days after MH treatment. Between the weight of total sucker and days to flower revealed the negative correlation, but not significant. The low sucker producing entries described above could be used as a parental line in the breeding program for the low sucker producing variety.

In this study, the antioxidative effects of extracts from different parts of Juncus effusus L. were investigated. The three parts (above-ground part, below-ground part, medulla part) were selected. 50 % ethanol extract, ethyl acetate and aglycone fractions of J. effusus L. were used in experiments. The highest DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activities ($FSC_{50}$) was shown by medulla part (42.9 ${\mu}g/mL$) in 50 % ethanol extracts, below-ground part (12.1 ${\mu}g/mL$) in ethyl acetate fractions, and below-ground part (12.1 ${\mu}g/mL$) in aglycone fractions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities ($OSC_{50}$) on ROS generated in $Fe^{3+}$-EDTA/$H_2O_2$ system using the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay showed the most prominent effect of medulla part (0.29 ${\mu}g/mL$) in 50 % ethanol extracts, below-ground part (0.25 ${\mu}g/mL$) in ethyl acetate fractions, and medulla part (0.20 ${\mu}g/mL$) in aglycone fractions. The cellular protective effects of extract/fractions of J. effusus L. on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were increased in a concentration dependent manner (0.5 ~ 10 ${\mu}g/mL$). Especially, aglycone fraction of medulla part at a concentration of 10 ${\mu}g/mL$ showed the most prominent protective effect among all extracts (${\tau}_{50}$, 321.0 min). These results indicate that extracts from below-ground part and medulla part of J. effusus L. extracts can be used as an natural antioxidant. Particularly, J. effusus L. can protect suggesting a high ${\tau}_{50}$ skin where many $^1O_2$ was generated by sunlight exposure.

This paper reports the amount of $^{222}Rn$ and $^{238}U$ in 18 sites of ground water and 30 sites of surface water. The instrument used to count $^{222}Rn$ activity was the liquid scintillation counter (LSC) which could resolute ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ radiations. And $^{238}U$ was analyzed by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP). Radon and Uranium were not detected in raw and treated water which were sampled in a water treatment plant. However, radon ($^{222}Rn$) was high concentration in ground water from Jeon-la, Gang-won. So was uranium ($^{238}U$) in case of ground water from Gang-won, Choong-chung. Radon ($^{222}Rn$) activities were detected less than 15 pCi/L at 5 sampling points, 15~300 pCi/L at 7 sampling points, 300~4000 pCi/L at 6 sampling points. However, Radon ($^{222}Rn$) activities of all ground water samples were less than 4,000 pCi/L, which was bellow American Alternative Maximum Contamination Level (AMCL). Uranium ($^{238}U$) concentrations were less than $0.1{\mu}g/L$ at 5 sampling points, from $0.1{\mu}g/L$ to $20{\mu}g/L$ at 13 sampling points. Uranium was not detected in about 30% of the whole samples, but the concentration ranged from relatively low to high concentrations depending on the sampling point. The minimum detectable activity (MDA) of radon was 15 pCi/L. and the detection limit of uranium was $0.1{\mu}g/L$.

Recently, piezocone penetration test is frequently conformed in order to estimate the characteristics of soft ground with standard penetration test, generally used in the past. The soil characteristics, such as cone penetration resistance, friction resistence and excessive pore water pressure, can be evaluated continuously through the piezocone penetration test. In Incheon International Airport 2nd phase site preparation, standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test were used in order to increase the confidence for determination of soft ground depth. And the compressible layer was determined by the comparison between the preconsolidation pressure and the designed increase pressure. As the results, the relation between standard penetration test and piezocone penetration test shows q$_{c}$=(1.09~l.63)N at the soft ground, determined by 5/30 N value. And q$_{c}$=(1.21~l.98)N was shown at the point of compressible layer, evaluated by the preconsolidation pressure. These results were applied to determination for the depth of soft ground and to design the improvement for the soft clay.lay.
