우리나라 유통상토에 대한 물리적 표준분석법을 설정하기 위한 연구를 실시하였다. 국내 시중에 유통되고 있는 53개 품목의 원예용 상토와 9개 품목의 수도용 상토를 대상으로 설정된 분석법을 적용하여 실험하였다. 입자밀도의 측정은 가스형 피크노메타(Micromeritics Co. Model 1305)를 사용하면 속도와 정확성 면에서 매우 유리하였다. 용적밀도는 구미에서 Sandbox법에 의한 용적밀도를 기본으로 하기 때문에 이와 유사한 성적을 얻을 수 있는 다양한 실험을 한 결과, 추다짐법(Plunger compaction method)이 가장 유의성 있는 측정 방법으로 밝혀졌다. 한편 가스형 피크노메타법에 의한 우리나라 유통상토의 입자밀도는 원예용이 1.93, 수도용이 2.43 Mg m$^{-3}$로 나타났으며, 추다짐법에 의한 용적밀도는 원예용이 0.22, 수도용이 1.01 Mg m$^{-3}$로 각각 나타났다. 수분함량은 105$^{\circ}C$ 건조기에서 16시간 건조하여 수도용상토는 (최초 무게-건조 후 무게) / (건조 후 무게) $\times$ 100으로, 원예용상토는 (최초무게 - 건조 후 무게) / (최초 무게) $\times$ 100으로 하였다. 보수력은 주로 저압용으로서 Eijkelkamp사의 Sandbox법을 사용하여 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 ㎪의 수분장력 상태의 수분함량을 조사하였다. 포화수리전도도는 직경 5cm$\times$높이 20cm인 아크릴 원통을 이용하여 정수위별에 의한 포화수리전도도를 측정하였다. 신분석법에 의한 유통상토의 수분함량은 원예용이 평균 46.34%, 수도용이 평균 16.89%이었고 원예용 상토의 EAW는 28.4%, WBC 7.01%, OMP는 5.60 ㎪로 나타났으며, 육묘를 위한 적정 수분함량은 44.41%이었고 포화수리전도도는 1.71 cm $min^{-1}$이었다. 상토 평량시 무게를 비교한 결과 상토 부피를 달리하여도 고도의 유의성이 있었고, 상토 20cc의 평균무게는 4.92g(2.08-8.83g)이었다. 상토의 EC 측정시 상토:물의 비율이 1:2(v:v)와 1:5(v:v)분석치에 2.5배한 EC 값과는 고도의 정의 상관관계가 있었으며, 유럽법과 일본법(전농)과의 관계는 고도의 정의 상관관계가 있었다 또한 새로운 분석법(v:v 1:5)으로 측정한 EC의 평균값은 국내산 0.64, 수입산 0.33 dS m$^{-1}$이 었다. 상토의 pH 측정시 상토:물의 비율을 1:2(v:v)와 1:5(v:v)와의 관계에서는 정의 상관관계를 보였으며, 유럽법과 일본법(전농)과의 관계도 역시 고도의 정의 상관관계가 있었고, 신 분석법에(v:v 1:5) 의한 분포비율은 국내산, 수입산모두 pH 6.1-6.5의 범위에서 가장 높았다.

Objectives : We evaluated anti-hyperlipidemia effect of Gyeongshinganjeehwan (GGEx) in high fat induced obese male micro-pigs. Methods : 7 month-old micro-pigs are fed with normal (n = 3) or high fat diet (n = 18) for 12 weeks. The pig revealed obesity in high fat diet were divided into 2 groups (n = 5 each) and vehicle (OMP) and Gyeongshingangjeehwan (GGEx, 616.7 mg/kg/day) were administrated for 1 month. We monitored the changes in body weight and measured plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, free fatty acid, GOT and, GPT after 1 month. The visceral fat were measured with computerized tomography and weights of various organs were measured after sacrifice. Results : 1. GGEx group had significantly reduced body weight gain than obese control group in statistics. 2. GGEx group didn't significantly differ from obese control group in blood total cholesterol, blood LDL-cholesterol, blood triglyceride. but it's data were similar to normal control group. 3. GGEx group had prominantly reduced visceral fat than obese control group in computerized tomography. 4. Blood GOT and GPT didn't differ from between groups. The organ weight were not significant different. And it is normal in size and colour of visceral organs. Conclusions : It is concluded that GGEx has anti-hyperlipidemia effect by improving visceral fat and access to security.

Korea launched Geostationary Environmental Monitoring Satellite (GEMS), a UV/visible spectrometer that measure pollution gases on 18 February 2020. Because satellite retrieval is an ill-posed inverse solving process, the validation with ground-based measurements or other satellite measurements is essential to obtain reliable products. For this purpose, satellite-based OMI and OMPS total column ozone (TCO), and ground-based Pandora TCO in Busan and Seoul were selected for future GEMS validation. First of all, the goal of this study is to validate the ground ozone data using characteristics that satellite data provide coherent ozone measurements on a global basis, although satellite data have a larger error than the ground-based measurements. In the cross validation between Pandora and OMI TCO, we have found abnormal deviation in ozone time series from Pandora #29 observed in Seoul. This shows that it is possible to perform inverse validation of ground data using satellite data. Then OMPS TCO was compared with verified Pandora TCO. Both data shows a correlation coefficient of 0.97, an RMSE of less than 2 DU and the OMPS-Pandora relative mean difference of >4%. The result also shows the OMPS-Pandora relative mean difference with SZA, TCO, cross-track position and season have insignificant dependence on those variables.In addition, we showed that appropriate thresholds depending on the spatial resolution of each satellite sensor are required to eliminate the impact of the cloud on Pandora TCO.

Vibrio vulnificus is an aquatic bacterium causing septicemia and wound infection in humans. To understand this pathogen at the genomic level, it was performed whole genome sequencing of a cefoxitin-resistant strain, V. vulnificus 1908-10 possessing virulence-related genes (vvhA, viuB, and vcgC) isolated from Gadeok island coastal seawater in South Korea. The genome of V. vulnificus 1908-10 consisted of two circular contigs and no plasmid. The total genome size was estimated to be 5,018,425 bp with a guanine-cytosine (GC) content of 46.9%. We found 119 tRNA and 34 rRNA genes respectively in the genome, along with 4,352 predicted protein sequences. Virulence factor (VF) analysis further revealed that V. vulnificus 1908-10 possess various virulence genes in classes of adherence, antiphagocytosis, chemotaxis and motility, iron uptake, quorum sensing, secretion system, and toxin. In the comparison of the presence/absence of virulence genes, V. vulnificus 1908-10 had fur, hlyU, luxS, ompU, pilA, pilF, rtxA, rtxC, and vvhA. Of the 30 V. vulnificus comparative strains, 80% of the C-genotype strains have all of these genes, whereas 40% of the E-genotype strains have all of them. In particular, pilA were identified in 80% of the C-type strains and 40% of the E-type strains, showing more difference than other genes. Therefore, V. vulnificus 1908-10 had similar VF characteristics to those of type C strains. Multifunctional-autoprocessing repeats-in-toxin (MARTX) toxin of V. vulnificus 1908-10 contained 8 A-type repeats (GXXGXXXXXG), 25 B.1-type repeats (TXVGXGXX), 18 B2-type repeats (GGXGXDXXX), and 7 C-type repeats (GGXGXDXXX). The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) showed that the RtxA protein of V. vulnificus 1908-10 had the effector domain in the order of cross-liking domain (ACD)-C58_PaToxP-like domain- α/β hydrolase-C58_PaToxP-like domain.
