The generally accepted idea for carbohydrate translocation in plants is an osmotic pressure flow hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, a high concentration of carbohydrate in the phloem of carbohydrate synthesis regions (source) causes a water influx into the phloem. The generated osmotic potential in the phloem is responsible for long distance carbohydrate transport through the positive hydrostatic pressure. In regions of carbohydrate utilization and storage (sink), translocated carbohydrates are continuously metabolized and compartmentalized, generating a concentration gradient between source and sinks. In this system, carbohydrates load into the phloem (phloem loading) and unload out of the phloem (phloem unloading). Phloem-mobile herbicides that are applied to plants are also translocated from the source to sinks. However, some experimental results reveal that the patterns of phloem translocation between carbohydrates and herbicides are different. The differences are due, in part, to the physico-chemical properties of herbicides and to the absence/presence of specific carrier(s) in the phloem.

In this study, porous concrete with improved functionality was developed by using superabsorbent polymer (SAP) to provide rooting space for plants. The depth of settlement and mass change according to the substitution and addition rate of SAP were determined by investigating the functional performance of SAP and the volume change upon saturation. Test results indicated the depth of penetration settlement increased as the substitution rate of SAP increased, but the mass change could not be confirmed as the addition rate of SAP increased. The instability of the specimens due to the excessive volume change of SAP, as well as the osmotic pressure phenomenon according to the pH concentration, were identified as the cause. Therefore, future studies are needed to investigate the appropriate substitution and addition rate of SAP, as well as to reduce the osmotic pressure phenomenon according to the pH concentration, which would contribute to the improvement of the functional performance of vegetation concrete.

Accumulation of excessive salt in Reclaimed coastal tidelands can reduce crop yields, reduce the effectiveness of irrigation, degradation of soil structure, and affect other soil properties. These salts has shown to cause specific ions in the plant over a period of time leads to ion toxicity or ion imbalance and a continuous osmotic phase that prevents water uptake by plants due to osmotic pressure of saline soil solution. This review focuses on the characteristics of salt-affected soils, mechanisms of salt-tolerance plants, desalinization technology, and soil management to maintain sustainable agro-ecosystem in salt-affected soils.

Antrodia cinnamomea is a unique medicinal fungus in Taiwan. It has been found rich in some pharmacologically active compounds for anti-cancer, hangover, and immune regulation etc. With the in-depth study of these components, it would be interesting and important to establish a molecular system for basic studies of A. cinnamomea. Thus, we would like to set up a foundation for this purpose by studying the A. cinnamomea protoplast preparation and regeneration. Firstly, we studied the optimization method of protoplast preparation of A. cinnamomea, and found various factors that may affect the yield during protoplast preparation, such as mycelial ages, pH values, and osmotic stabilizers. Secondly, in the regeneration of protoplasts, we explored the effects of various conditions on the regeneration of protoplasts, including different media and osmotic pressure. In addition, we found that citrate buffer with pH value around 3 dramatically increased the regeneration of protoplasts of A. cinnamomea, and provided a set of regeneration methodology for A. cinnamomea.

This study was carried out to establish a proper cultivation site and diagnose the drought-tolerance of Allium ochotense leaves and Allium microdictyon leaves by using pressure - volume curve method. The Allium microdictyon leaves had more lower osmotic water potential ${\psi}osat$, and osmotic water potential at turgor loss point ${\psi}otlp$ than Allium ochotense leaves. Then, the Allium microdictyon leaves was slightly higher drought-tolerance than Allium ochotense leaves. Therefore, We suggest that growth of the two Allium species was appropriate for relative moisture forest.

This work presents an experimental study of the hydromechanical behavior of a natural swelling soil taken from Boumagueur region east of Algeria. Several pathological cases due to the soil shrinkage / swelling phenomenon were detected in this area. In a first part, the hydric behavior on drying-wetting paths was made, using the osmotic technics and saturated salts solutions to control suction. In The second part, using a new osmotic oedometer, the coupled behavior as a function of applied stresses and suction was investigated. It was shown that soil compressibility parameters was influenced by suction variations that an increase in suction is followed by a decrease in the virgin compression slope. On the other hand, the unloading slope of the oedometric curves was not obviously affected by the imposed suction. The decrease in suction strongly influences the apparent preconsolidation pressure, ie during swelling of the samples after wetting.

에너지 소비량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 반면 사용가능한 부존자원은 한정되어 있어 전 세계적으로 에너지 위기가 심화되고 있다. 화석연료 고갈 및 에너지 생산으로 인한 환경오염 문제를 해소하기 위하여 새로운 방식의 에너지 생산 기술 개발이 요구되고 있으며, 소수력, 지열, 태양열 광, 풍력, 바이오매스 등의 신재생 에너지기술이 이미 개발되었거나 활발히 연구되고 있다. 최근 지구상에 풍부하게 존재하는 해수와 담수를 이용하여 에너지를 생산하는 염도차 발전이 관심을 얻고 있으며, 그 중에 대표적인 공정이 압력지연삼투(Pressure retarded osmosis, PRO)이다. 압력지연삼투는 에너지 생산 시 이산화탄소 배출이 없고 외부 환경요인으로 인한 제약이 적다는 장점이 있으나, 전용막 및 최적화 기술의 부재로 인해 아직 상용화 단계에 이르지 못 하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 압력지연삼투 기술의 현황과 한계를 다양한 측면에서 분석해보고, 이를 통해 압력지연삼투의 기술 개발 방향에 대해 논의해보고자 한다.

Osmotic power is to produce electric power by using the chemical potential of two flows with the difference of salinity. Water permeates through a semipermeable membrane from a low concentration feed solution to a high concentration draw solution due to osmotic pressure. In a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, river water and wastewater are commonly used as low salinity feed solution, whereas seawater and brine from the SWRO plant are employed as draw solution. During the PRO process using wastewater effluent as feed solution, PRO membrane fouling is usually caused by the convective or diffusive transport of PRO which is the most critical step of PRO membrane in order to prevent membrane fouling. The main objective of this study is to assess the PRO membrane fouling reduction by pretreatment to remove organic matter using coagulation-UF membrane process. The experimental results obtained from the pretreatment test showed that the optimum ferric chloride and PAC dosage for removal of organic matter applied for the coagulation and adsorption process was 50 mg/L as FeCl₃ (optimum pH 5.5). Coagulation-UF pretreatment process was higher removal efficiency of organic matter, as also resulting in the substantial improvement of water flux of PRO membrane.

본 연구에서는 두 종류의 다공성 유리막을 이용하여 전기삼투 펌프를 제작하였다. 전기삼투 펌프의 성능은 탈이온수와 1 mM 나트륨 테트라붕산염 데카수화물 완충액을 이용하여 최대유량, 최대전류 그리고 최대압력의 항으로 표현하였다. 최대유량과 최대전류는 ROBU 사의 다공성 유리막의 높은 공극률에 기인하여 DURAN 사의 다공성 유리막 보다 높은 값을 가졌다. 그러나 최대압력은 비슷하였다. 열역학적 효율은 ROBU 사의 다공성 유리막이 DURAN 사의 다공성 유리막보다 2 배 정도 높은 값을 가졌으며, 최대유량당 최대전류 역시 ROBU 사의 다공성 유리막이 높은 값을 가졌다. 그러나 최대압력당 최대전류는 DURAN 사의 다공성 유리막에서 더 높은 값을 가졌다. 본 연구에서는 ROBU 사의 다공성 유리막은 낮은 출력으로 높은 유량을 구현할 수 있고, DURAN 사의 다공성 유리막은 낮은 출력으로 높은 압력을 구현할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

이 논문은 한발저항성이 다른 6개 보리 품종의 한발에 따른 생장, 잎의 수분포텐셜(leaf water potential, LWP), 상대함수량(leaf relative water content, RWC), 삼투압(leaf osmotic potential, OP), 삼투조정(osmotic adjustment, OA), 팽압(leaf turgor pressure, LTP), 순광합섬, 기공전도도, 엽육전도도, 엽록소형광 등의 변화를 조사하여 비교한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 한발 처리시 토양수분포텐셜은 -0.05㎫이었고. 종료시에는 -0.29㎫로 저하하였다. Dicktoo-S 동보리 1호, Dicktoo-L, Dicktoo-T, 수원쌀보리 365호, 탑골보리 품종의 한발처리구 건물중은 각각 대조구(처리기간종 -0.05㎫ 유지)에 비하여 68%, 69%, 70%, 86%, 55%, 37%를 나타내어 Dicktoo 계통과 동보리1호의 한발저항성이 강하였고, 수원쌀보리 365호와 탑골보리는 한발저항성이 약하였다. 2. 한발저항성이 강한 품종은 삼투조정능력이 커서 한발처리에 따른 RWC와 LWP의 저하가 작았고 팽압유지능력이 컸다. 3. 한발처리에 따라 순광합성이 저하하였고 그 저하정도는 한발저항성이 큰 품종이 작았는데, 이는 한발저항성이 큰 품종이 기공전도도, 엽육전도도 및 PSII 최대양자수율(Fv/Fm)의 저하가 적었기 때문이었다. 4. 결론적으로 저항성이 큰 품종은 삼투조정에 의한 수분유지능력이 크고 이에 따라 광합성저하가 적어 상대적으로 생장의 감소가 적은 것으로 판단되었다.
