Ectomycorrhizal fungi are associated with plants roots and acquire significant amounts of nitrogen sources from the soil. For artificial cultivation, mass production of ectomycorrhizal fungi in liquid media is required. We studied the edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms Hygrophorus russula, Ramaria fumigata, Sarcodon aspratus, and Tricholoma matsutake. All strains except S. aspratus NIFoS 2031 grew generally well on modified Melin-Norkran's (MMN) medium compared to on other media. All strains analyzed in this study showed significantly higher growth on organic nitrogen. Specifically, two strains of H. russula significantly responded to both tryptone and neopeptone media. Among different species and strains, there were clear differences in the capacity to grow on animal-based organic nitrogen sources.

We analyzed the correlation between breakdown voltage(BDV) of liquid nitrogen(LN2) and factors. The chosen factors affecting the breakdown are the diameter of electrode, gap length, temperature of LN2, and pressure of LN2. The BDV of LN2 was increased with increasing the diameter, the gap length and the pressure. And The BDV of LN2 was increased with decreasing the temperature. However, correlation coefficient was different from each other depending on the situation. The BDV exhibited a very high correlation coefficient of 0.92227 to dependence on the diameter. And a very high correlation coefficient of 0.94980 to dependence on the pressure under sphere(D 7.5 mm)-plane electrode. When the pressure is applied, sphere-plane electrode is the correlation coefficient was higher than that of the needle-plane electrode. It shows the dependence of a temperature coefficient of -0.758290 ~ -0.39946 under needle-plane electrode.

It is important to mechanical properties of dielectric paper and cable to optimum electrical insulation design of HTS cable, because the cable has experience of mechanical stress, such as tensile stress, bending stress. Also, it is operated at cryogenic temperature. From the results, it was observed that the tensile strength of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was high more than that of air, but tensile strain decrease sharply. According as tensile strength increases, the breakdown stress of PPLP in liquid nitrogen is decreased. Because PPLP was deteriorated by microcrack and tensile strain. According as bending radius multiple is decrease, the ac and impulse breakdown stress of mini-model cable is sharply decreased.

This paper was studied on the surface discharge characteristics and tracking phenomena on the solid insulator in liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$) at atmospheric pressure. In order to investigate the bubbles which have much influence on electric surface discharge in liquid nitrogen, Knife type electrode and plane electrode were arranged in different modes(Mode A, Mode B, and Mode C) and investigated for surface discharge and tracking phenomena. In Mode A, by the movement of bubbles tracking damage was formed under the electrodes. The tracking pattern in Mode B was formed along the electrode axis.

To investigate the possibility of crypreservation of mulberry seeds in liquid nitrogen(LN$_2$), characteristics of the seeds were examined after picking mulberry syncarps and drying-heat treatment. Storage in LN$_2$has the potential of providing indifinite preservation of valuable seed germplasm. Determining the tolerance of seeds among given cultivars to LN$_2$cooling and subsequent rewarming is the first step to establishing the feasibility of LN$_2$storage. Seeds of 4 mulberry varities were treated to LN$_2$(-196$\^{C}$) for 24 hours after drying heat treatment. Seed moisture content of Daeryukppong was the highest. As moisture content of mulberry seed was below 1%, storage in LN$_2$was safe. And drying heat treatment for 60 minutes was suitable to prevent decreased germination rate and germination vigor of seeds. The seeds of Cheongilppong were unsuibable to cryopreserve in LN$_2$for longterm storage.

In this paper, a relationship between AC discharge progress and the radiated electromagnetic waves was investigated by measuring electromagnetic waves using a biconical antenna and a spectrum analyzer. The frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves were measured at the atmospheric pressure in liquid nitrogen($LN_2$) during partial discharges progressed by AC high voltage in nonuniform electric field. Front the results of this study, a new method was introduced for measurement and analysis of the radiated electromagnetic waves with discharge progress in $LN_2$ Besides. according to the consideration of the mutual relation between frequency spectrum of the radiated electromagnetic waves and discharge progress, it was confirmed that detecting partial discharge and estimating discharge progress could be possible. It is considered that these results obtained from this investigation may be used as fundamental data for diagnosis and prediction of electric insulations about superconducting and cryogenic power equipments.

The electrical breakdown characteristics of liquid nitrogen(LN$\sub$2/) were studied under simulated quenching conditions for application of HTS apparatus. The experimental results for various quenching condition revealed that the breakdown voltage of LN$\sub$2/ with bubble flow velocity and gap spacing. In the case, breakdown voltage decreases gradually with the bubble velocity. When it is bubble velocity from 0 to 1 $\ell$ /min, breakdown voltage rapidly decreases but decreases from 2 $\ell$/min to 10 $\ell$/min slowly. The breakdown voltage for vertical electrode arrangement is higher than that for horizontal electrode arrangement. Also, it did a electric field and potential distribution interpreting at the liquid nitrogen when the bubble existed. The plots of equipotential lines for three cases are also shown.

The Partial breakdown (PBD) and complete breakdown (BD) voltage characteristics in a composite insulation system of glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) and liquid nitrogen are investigated to find the PBB and BD characteristics in solenoid type high temperature superconducting (HTS) coils at quench. The electrode system used is made from a coaxial spiral coil-to-cylindrical electrode with an insulation barrier and spacers, and is immersed in liquid nitrogen. A heater is mounted inside the coil electrode to generate boiling which occurs on quenched superconducting coils. The experimental results show that: (1) breakdown voltages are affected severely by the risetime of the applied voltage and the PBD inception voltage, (2) two kinds of BD mechanisms are found depending on the shape of the spacer, length of cooling channel and heater power.

The short-term AC breakdown strength of laminated polypropylene insulating Paper (PPLP) has been studied for cold dielectric of high temperature superconductivity power cables. The design and operating conditions of the electrode system for studying of short-term breakdown strength of one-layer and multi-layer PPLP samples are discussed in liquid nitrogen(LN2) state. The influence of various operating factors (geometry and dimension of electrodes, speed of tested voltage, thickness of test sample) on the value of short-term AC breakdown strength at cryogenic temperature has been established.
