This study intended to analyze the differences in (general & apparel) color preference and possession of apparel color preference(POA) by influential factors(fashion involvement, age, body-size and body- cathexis). We collected data from 303 females in the ages of 20's and 40's living in Seoul. The results were as follows; As a result of factor analysis, the fashion involvement was categorized into three aspects: coordinating fashion involvement, opinion-leading fashion involvement, and innovating fashion involve ment. There were significant differences among fashion involvement groups in the color preference and POA. Also the significant differences in color preferences and POA by ages and body-size were found. But in the analysis based on body-cathexis, no noticeable variance between different groups were found.

Catalytic enzyme Pyrazinamidase (PncA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis can hydrolyze substrate pyrazinamide (PZA) to pyrazoic acid (POA) as active form of compound. Using NMR spectroscopy, pH-dependent catalytic properties were monitored including metal binding mode during converting PZA to POA. There seems to be a conformational change through zinc binding in active site from the perturbation of peak intensities in series of 2D HSQC spectra the conformation changes through zinc binding.

In this study, about 80 Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) ecotypes native to Korea were collected annually to analyze their morphology and growth characteristics from 1995 to 2007. Kentucky bluegrass ecotypes with superior characteristics of 'Pureundle' (Trial No. : P38), 'Sewon' (P77), 'Inje' (00034), 'Donggang' (00052), 'Hwasun' (01001), 'Pyengchang' (01071), 'Kongju' (02006), 'Chungsong' (02077), and 'Kumsan' (03005) and three foreign cultivars were transplanted to flowerpots in May 8, 2006 in order to analyze the blooming and morphological characteristics. Out of the selected superior ecotyes, six were collected on the roadsides, two were collected around paddy or dry fields, and one was collected at riverside. Length of 1st internode of 'Chungsong' was the longest (30.7cm), that of 'Pyengchang' was the shortest (12.8cm), and ecotypes showed variation in length. The 1st angle of branches of 'Donggang' was the narrowest ($141.7^{\circ}$), that of 'Hwasun' was the widest ($188.3^{\circ}$), and that of the introduced foreign cultivars were between $159.3^{\circ}$ and $166.7^{\circ}$. The number of nodes of the introduced cultivars were same (six), while that of Korean ecotypes were four to six. Length of flowering culm of 'Chungsong' was the longest (50.7cm) and while that of 'Pyengchang' was the shortest (19.2cm). 'Donggang' with the highest seed yield showed relatively high (36.8cm) inflorescence height when compared to other ecotypes. The five ecotypes of 'Sewon', 'Inje', 'Donggang', 'Pyengchang', and 'Kongju' were investigated to have relatively wide leaf width. Especially 'Sewon' and 'Inje' were investigated to have wide leaves of 4.5mm and over.

Embryogenic callus induction and plant regeneration methods were developed for native Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratenes L.) ecotypes. Mature caryopses and immature inflorescences (20 mm in length) of 4 native ecotypes and 5 foreign cultivars were plated on MS medium (30 g/L sucrose, 3 g/L Phytagel) supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, and cultured in the dark at 24$^{\circ}C$. Most explants formed calli, but more embryogenic calli were induced from the explants of immature inflorescences than caryopses which produced mostly non-embryogenic rooty calli. In P77 ecotypes, immature inflorescence explants formed embryogenic calli with the rate of 62~95%, and those of field-grown plants were more efficient than greenhouse-grown ones in embryogenic callus induction. Plantlets were regenerated from the embryogenic calli when they were transferred to hormone-free MS medium, and grew to maturity without morphological variations in greenhouse.

When a football field is constructed using sand medium, the fertilizer management has to be adjusted because of the low nutrient holding capacity and higher leaching rate. The objective of this study was to test the effects of slow release fertilizers on Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) growth in simulated sport field rootzones with PVC pipe pots. Data of turfgrass color, uniformity, growth rate, biomass above ground, and the nitrate content in the leaching solution was collected at different growing stages and during four simulated rain fall periods. The result showed that the nutrient release rate of urea was the highest and that of controlled release nitrogen fertilizer was the lowest. Effects of the controlled release nitrogen fertilizer lasted 14 days more than other lawn fertilizers and 28 days longer than regular urea with acceptable quality levels of turf. The slow release fertilizer also restrained excessive growth of the grass, reduced the times of mowing. Slow release fertilizer used in this study reduced $NO_3$-N leaching by almost 50% at the beginning of turf establishment.

Nonylphenol (NP) is a widespread environmental pollutant that has been shown to exert both toxic and estrogenic effects on mammalian cells. As the effects of NP on the reproductive system of adult male vertebrates are virtually unknown, we investigated not only the changes of reproductive hormone secretion in serum after chronic exposure to NP but also, in order to identify the site of its action, the reproductive hormone secretion in serum 48 hours after microinfusion of NP within hypothalamic preoptic area (POA). In the chronic exposure, the luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone in serum were decreased but prolactin (PRL) concentrations were increased. The LH, FSH, and testosterone in serum were decreased through the direct infusion of NP into POA, while there was no difference in mean serum prolactin between NP and control groups. These observations suggest that NP as endocrine disruptor has modulatory effects on hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis and that the site of action of NP could be hypothalamic POA.

This experiment was carried out to study the effect of pure nitrogen fertilization on botanical composition of grassland in 1987~ 1988 under practical conditions at the " Federal Institute for Agriculture in the Alps" in Austria. The application rates were 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120kg/ha/cut, the cutting regimes 3-, 4 , 5- and 6-cuts/year. The results were as follows: 1. Only PK fertilization resulted in higher botanical composition of Trifolium repens among legumes in grassland, which was increased by cutting frequency .2. Nitrogen fertilization on three-cut areas resulted in higher existence of generally valuable tall grasses such as Arrhenotherum elatius Trisetum flavescens and Dactylis glomerata . On the other hand, nitrogen fertilization on four-, five- and six-cut areas showed mainly Doctylis glomerato and Poa pratensis appearance. 3.For some cases, appearance of less valuable grasses, herbs and weeds such as Agropyron repens, Poa trivialis, Poa annua, Setoria viridis, Aegopodium podagra rio, Men landrium rubrum, Taraxacum officlnale, Achillea millefolium, Rorippa sylvestris and Polygonum ocleulare was *Bundesanstalt fur alpenlandische Landwirtschaft Gumpenstein(A-8952 Irdning, 6sterreich) increased on medium and high rates of N fertilized areas. 4.Reduction of sward density may also diminish the advantages of nitrogen fertilization and may be threatened by mainly high dressings of nitrogen combined with too late utilization of the sward. 5.Location altered the efficiency of nitrogen fertilization on botanical composition.mposition.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of the nitrogen fertilization levels on the content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of 'Suffolk' Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1.According to the nitrogen fertilization levels, the content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of Kentucky blue-grass and zoysiagrass was not significantly different. The content of $NH_4^+$-N in soil of Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass was highest in June and December and lowest in March and September. 2.The content of $NH_3^-$-N in soil was increased by increasing the nitrogen fertilization levels in both Kentucky bluegrass and zoysiagrass. However, the deeper the depth of soil the less the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil. In 40~60cm soil depth, the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil was lower than 10ppm in average. Even in June, which was the highest month of the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil, the content of $NO_3^-$-N in soil was not overpassed the degree of 20ppm.

This paper reports substituent effects on the conformational changes in polyaniline (PAni) derivatives. PAni, poly-o-toluidine (POT), and poly-o-anisidine (POA) were formed by potentiodynamic electropolymerization in aqueous solution containing (+)-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) as a dopant. UV-Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the methyl group showed a greater steric hindrance than the methoxy group. Further, the doping level decreased with increasing steric hindrance. The sign pattern of the circular dichroism (CD) bands for POA was opposite to that for PAni. However, no CD bands were observed in POT. The steric hindrance caused helical inversion, but at a high level of steric hindrance, the helical conformation could not be adopted, because of the reduced doping level. The reduced crystallinity was greatly affected by the decreased doping level. The steric effect influenced the polymer conformation and the doping level, thus determining the optical activity, morphology, and crystallinity of the PAni derivatives.
