The present study proposed to develop a Hanji hat that can protect the body from UV rays and be preferred by consumers. For this purpose, using Hanji dyed by ginkgo leaf extract, we manufactured Hats in 12 designs. The UV blocking rate was determined by putting the hats on a mannequin and measuring the quantity of UV rays penetrating through the hat. In addition, preference for each design was surveyed, and the hat most suitable for the purpose was selected. The results of this study are as follows. 1. The UV blocking rate of the manufactured Hanji hats was over 92% for UVA and 97% for UVB in all of the 12 hats. 2. Among the 12 designs, the UV blocking rate for UVA was highest in 'Design(b)' and 'Design(1)' $(P\leq0.05)$, and the UV blocking rate for UVB was identical in all the designs except 'Design(i)' and 'Design(g)' $(P\leq0.01)$. 3. The effect of UV blocking was highest on the nape of the neck; next, on the brow, the cheeks, the nose and the chin in that order. 4. According to the result of the survey of preference, simple designs such as 'Design(a), (b)' and 'Design(9)' were preferred. In addition, it was found that the design would affect the purchase of a hat marked with a UV blocking index (68%). 5. Based on the results of this research as presented above, 'Design(b)', which showed a high UV blocking effect and was highly preferred, was selected as the most suitable hat for the purpose of this research.

This research investigated the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities of hot air-dried red mustard (Brassica juncea L.) leaf (HR) and freeze-dried red mustard leaf (FR). Crude protein content was highest in FR, and crude fat and carbohydrate contents were highest in HR. However, moisture and crude ash contents were not significantly different between the two drying methods. Total free sugars were higher in HR compared with FR. Sucrose, fructose, and glucose were the major free sugars in both HR and FR. Contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were higher in HR compared with FR. The major organic acid of FR was malic acid, and the major organic acid of HR was malic acid. The contents of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were higher in HR than in FR. Total mineral contents were higher in FR (10,187.22 mg%) compared with HR (9,815.80 mg%). Major minerals were K, Ca, and Na in the two drying methods. The contents of vitamins C and E in HR were higher than those in FR. Total polyphenol contents showed no significant difference between the two methods. However, total flavonoid contents in HR were higher than in FR. The $IC_{50}$ values of FR and HR in ABTS assay were 0.89 mg/mL and 0.65 mg/mL, respectively. The results of all experiments suggest that HR and FR can be natural candidates as a rich source of antioxidants for further chemical investigation.

This study was performed to determine the hepatoprotective effects of ethanol extract of loquat leaf (LL) on alcohol-induced liver damage in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats (n=32) were divided into the following four groups: normal group (NOR), ethanol administrated group (ET), ethanol plus LL 200 mg/kg BW/day administrated group (ET-LLL), and ethanol plus LL 400 mg/kg Bw/day administrated group (ET-LLH). Body weight gain and food intake of the ET group were significantly reduced compared to those of the ET-LLL and ET-LLH groups. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities elevated by ethanol administration were significantly reduced by LL administration. Serum triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) contents and hepatic TG and TC contents of the ET group were significantly elevated compared to those of the NOR group. However, TG and TC contents in the serum and liver were significantly reduced in the ET-LLH group. Hepatic glutathione (GSH) contents of the ET-LLL and ET-LLH groups were significantly elevated, and hepatic thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) contents were reduced compared to that of the ET group. Taken together, these results suggest that LL may have a possible protective effect on the improvement of hepatic injury by ethanol administration.

The purpose of this study was to determine the content attributes and sensory characteristics of ice cream flavored with lotus leaf and seeds (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner). Analysis of freeze dried lotus leaf powder produced the following technical results: Freeze dried lotus leaf powder contained moisture 12.2, crude protein 5.9, crude fat 1.2, crude ash 7.0, crude fiber 13.4g/100mg; raw lotus seed powder contained moisture 65.0, crude protein 8.2, crude fat 0.3, crude ash 1.0, crude fiber 10.8g/100mg; freeze dried lotus seed powder contained moisture 14.0, crude protein 17.1, crude fat 1.9, crude ash 4.0, crude fiber 2.8g/100mg. Lotus seed was processed by 4 methods: freeze dried, roasted, freeze dried peeled inner layer, cooked cut peeled inner layer. Analysis of the color value produced the following technical results: freeze dried lotus leaf powder were L(lightness) 14.5, a(redness) 4.4, b(yellowness) 24.0; freeze dried lotus seed powder L 57.3, a 14.4, b 12.0; roasted lotus seed powder L 52.7, a 22.5, b 11.9; freeze dried lotus seed peeled inner layer L 60.0, a 1.4, b 12.3. Proportional lotus ingredients used for ice cream were 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% for lotus leaves and 1%, 3%, 5% for lotus seeds. The maximum over run ratio for lotus leaf ice cream was 45.3~56.9% at 20~25 minutes operating time. Over run was significantly decreased by increasing the contents of lotus leaf powder. A maximum over run ratio for lotus seed ice cream was 46.1~54.3% at 20~25 operating time. Over run was not significantly different based on content of lotus leaf versus lotus seed. Sensory evaluation of lotus leaf ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for color of 4.42 and the lowest score was for sweetness of 3.30. The total mean score significantly decreased by increasing the content of lotus leaf powder. Sensory evaluation of lotus seed ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for cooked cut peeled inner layer type and the lowest was for freeze dried type 3.86. The sensory scores were not significantly different based on the content of lotus seed. Texture was evaluated highest with a rating of 4.21 and the taste was evaluated lowest with a rating of 3.68 For whole evaluation. This study concluded that lotus leaf ice cream demonstrates relative strength in terms of color and taste, and a relative weakness in terms of over run and sweetness. Suitable content of lotus leaf ranged from 1~5%. The lotus seed processed by the cooked cut peeled inner layer method received a higher rating than dried powder for lotus seed ice cream.

Leaf color and plant vigor are key indicators of crop health. These visual plant attributes are frequently used by greenhouse managers, producers, and consultants to make water, nutrient, and disease management decisions. Remote sensing techniques can quickly quantify soil and plant attributes, but it requires humans to translate such data into meaningful information. Over time, scientists have used reflectance data from individual wavebands to develop a series of indices that attempt to quantify things like soil organic matter content, leaf chlorophyll concentration, leaf area index, vegetative cover, amount of living biomass, and grain yield. The recent introduction of active sensors that function independent of natural light has greatly expanded the capabilities of scientists and managers to obtain useful information. Characteristics and limitations of active sensors need to be understood to optimize their use for making improved management decisions. Pot experiments involving sand culture were conducted in 2003 and 2004 in a green house to evaluate corn and red pepper biomass. The rNDVI, gNDVI and aNDVI by ground-based remote sensors were used for evaluation of corn and red pepper biomass. The result obtained from the case study was shown that ground remote sensing as a non-destructive real-time assessment of plant nitrogen status was thought to be a useful tool for in season crop nitrogen management providing both spatial and temporal information.

In order to observe the factors affecting light utilization efficiency in the canopy of a rice crop grown in reclaimed saline areas in Korea, 22 varieties of rice were cultured at the average salt concentration of 6.05mmhos/cm $25^{\circ}C$, (0.39%) in saline soils and non-saline silty loam soils. The inhibition of tillering ability by salt damage at the maximum tillering stage was greater than to growth in height. A significant direct correlation was observed between both ratios and salt concentration with each variety. In the salty areas the length of the flag leaf of the maturing stage showed a positive correlation with the production of rough rice while other living leaf showed a negative correlation. LAI of maturing stage was less in the salty area than in the non-salty area, while the former showed higher ratio in net assimilation and translocation to head with greater RGR before and after the heading stage.

외래식물이 새로운 환경에 성공적으로 정착할 수 있는 이유를 설명하는 주된 두 개의 가설은, 외래식물이 새로 정착할 지역 군집 구성원들과 충분히 달라 경쟁을 피할 수 있기 때문이라는 것, 그리고 이미 적응하고 있는 그 지역 군집의 구성원과 유사하여 새로운 환경에 잘 적응할 수 있기 때문이라는 것이다. 본 연구는 낙동강변에 인위적으로 조성된 습지공원지역을 대상으로 외래(귀화) 초본식물과 자생 초본식물의 기능 형질을 조사하여 상호 비교 분석하여 앞의 두 가설 중 어느 가설이 맞는지 확인하고자 하였다. 식물 잎 형질 중, 잎 면적, 잎 면적비, 잎 두께, 잎 건조 중량, 잎 질소량, 잎 탄소량을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 외래(귀화)식물과 자생식물이 서로 구분되었고, 이는 외래(귀화)식물이 자생식물보다 잎 질소량이 높기 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. 높은 잎 질소량은 높은 광합성률과 연관되고 이는 효과적인 자원 이용 및 빠른 생장과 관련있음을 고려할 때, 본 연구지역에 정착한 외래식물 역시 이러한 기능적 특징을 가지고 있는 것으로 생각되었다. 본 연구 결과는 앞의 두 가설 중 외래식물과 자생식물의 기능적 차이가 외래식물 정착 성공을 결정한다는 가설을 지지하는 것으로 보인다.

To classify the physiological activity by habitat and part of Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), antioxidative and antimicrobial activities were investigated from methanol extracts of Dandelion. Dandelion was taken from Uiryeong (in Kyungnam province) and from Seoul, and antioxidative and antimicrobial activities were measured for three different parts of the dandelion: the flower, leaf and root. Antioxidative activities of methanol extracts from Dandelion were examined by a DPPH test, and antimicrobial activities were examined against 5 microorganisms: Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus as G(+) microorganisms, and Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus and Eschrichia coli as G(-) microorganisms. No significant differences were found in terms of antioxidative and antimicrobial activities between the dandelions in Uiryeong and the dandelions in Seoul. Antioxidative activity, however, was higher in the flower of the dandelion, irrespective of habitat. Further research with other physiological factors (besides antioxidative and antimicrobial activities) is necessary to shed light on dandelion physiological function and to enhance the utilization of dandelion.

Some living thingsuse micro- or nano- structures for living in nature. Scientists and engineers made efforts to mimic them, and they succeeded in making new types of applications. They used 'Namib desert beetle' to self-filling device by moisture harvesting and 'lotus leaf' to self-cleaning device by water repelling. 'Namib desert beetle' and lotus leaf have micro-patterns on their surface, which consists of hydrophobic or hydrophilic materials [1]. Moreover, micro-patterns on the surface make self-filling or self-cleaning property enhanced because of the surface roughness. Surface roughness enhances wettability [2]. Micro-pattern is a significant factor to make the surface be functional, so we want to make new types of functional surface by micro-patterning. In this work,we make several functional micro-patterns (radial, line, and dot arrays) using maskless lithography and analyze the characteristics of each micro-pattern. In order to analyze and understand surface characteristics, micro-patterns with varying sizes are investigated. All experiments are proceeded on mr-DWL5 photo resists coated on silicon wafers in same condition. All the experiments have demonstrated good performances about hydrophobic or hydrophilic property corresponding to their material and structural combinations. In radial micro-pattern, although the surface is flat, water drops on hydrophilic radial pattern can be convergent to a middle point and water drops on hydrophobic radial pattern can be divergent from the middle point. In line array micro-pattern, water drops can roll off along only one direction in parallel with the line arrays. Such phenomena might be mainly caused by the local change of surface roughness. From these results, controlling the movement and direction of water drops is made feasible without introducing a slope, which can potentially be used for new types of applications.
