This study was conducted to improve the postharvest storage techniques of managing and storing seeds, to test qualities and viabilities of the seeds and to examine the germination rate and the protein expression of Achyranthes japonica Nakai. The seeds collected from different areas of Je-Cheon and Gwang-Ju were stored with different temperatures and durations. Two plant growth regulators and two seed priming were treated to investigate their effect on the germination rates and the days required for germination. The weight of one hundred seed collected in Gwang-Ju was heavier than those in Je-Cheon. Seed length collected in Gwang-Ju was also longer about 5.12 mm than those in Je-Cheon about 4.90 mm and seed width was longer in Gwang-Ju than those in Je-Cheon. The rates of seed germination in two different collection areas were higher about 2.9 to 13.0% in Gwang-Ju compared to those in Je-Cheon. Comparing its rates with the storing temperatures and durations, they were not clearly different in between $4^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ and they also were gradually decreased with getting longer storing durations. The germination rates treated by plant growth regulators were higher with $GA_3$ than those with Kinetin. The highest seed germination rate was appeared at 50 ppm of $GA_3$. Comparing its rates with different seed priming, they were relatively higher with $KNO_3$ than those with PEG6000. In protein expression patterns between before the germinating and after the germinating of seeds, more and clear bands were appeared in the seed after the germination compared to those before the germination of seeds, especially 10 ~ 20 kDa. These results showing more and clear bands were more clearly appeared in Gwang-Ju compared to Je-Cheon. Comparing the protein expression with plant growth regulators and seed primings, $GA_3$ was better expression than those with Kinetin and $KNO_3$ was better than those with PEG6000. More and clear bands were closely related to the germination rates of seeds and more detailed studies would be required.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of attribute agenda-setting and priming through content analysis and a survey about Particulate Matter($PM_{10}$ & $PM_{2.5}$) using both promotional news and general news. The study results were as follows. First, promotional news and general news were found to showcase similar cognitive attributes. Second, the results did not show a significant relationship between highlighted attributes in media coverage and the public's salient attributes, but media attributes had been generally reflected in the public's perception because the public was highly aware of the importance of all media attributes. Third, the recognition of the public's attribute importance affected the direction of public opinion, which resulted in the acceptance of priming effects. Meanwhile, the recognition of the public's attribute importance towards economic damage, international cooperation, individual response, and the recognition of promotional news had affected risk perception. Furthermore, the recognition of promotional news and involvement appeared to have an interaction effect on risk perception.

Seedling mechanization of lettuce is known to be difficult due to the small seed size and the irregular seed shape. The purpose of seed pelleting is to make seedling mechanization possible by enlarging the seed size. After that, it can reduce seedling and thinning labours and can also save seeds. According to the results, there were significant differences on the percent germination and day to 50% final germination in accordance with the pelleting polymer. Among the pelleting polymer, gemination of seeds using polynimyl alcohol (PVA) was generally smooth, and followed by polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), methyl cellulose (MC), and wteen 80. The germination rate was also different according to the pelleting particulate matters. Generally, percent germination and speed of seed using the mixture of diatomaceous earth, talc and calcium carbonate were higher and faster than using other polleting materials, respectively. Thus, it should be suitable pelleting particulate matter for the pelleting of lettuce seeds. On the other hands germination of seeds using limestone, calcium oxide and benonite were low. The seed size of lettuce after pelleting was 33 times as large as the raw seed size. During the process of seed pelleting, netrient addition induced the decrement on the germination and the delay of germination speed. Also, there was differences in the germinability of pelleted seeds in accordance with the addition of nutrient sources. MS medium was generally lower than monosodium phosphate in inhibition of seed germination. Germination of pelleted seeds after priming was higher than the seeds without the treatment, and also showed the trend of early germination.

The purpose of this study was to find out the optimum SMP carriers in seeds of 12 pepper cultivars to alternate Micro-eel E. It showed that calcium carbonate caused the lower germination rates in proportion of water volumes and the radicle protrusion during priming period. Micro-cel E induced also the radical protrusion, even though it shortened $T_{50}$ in Wang cultivar, in proportion of water volumes. Diatomaceous earth shortened both $T_{50}$ and Mean days germination(MDG) in Choyang and Hyangchon cultivars, although it caused the radicle protrusion in treatment of $1.5{\times}$ water proportion. In Wang cultivar, Diatomaceous earth shortened $T_{50}$ by 0.60 and 0.05 days at 1.0 and $1.5{\times}$ water proportions respectively compared to the Micro-cel E at 5.0 and $7.0{\times}$ water proportions. Therefore, it could be suggested that Diatomaceous earth for the carrier might be suitable in pepper cultivars to alternate Micro-cel E, and $1.0{\times}$ water proportion should be available for processing.

The current study investigated the role of acoustic correlates of domain-initial strengthening in lexical segmentation of a non-native language. In a series of cross-modal identity-priming experiments, native Korean listeners heard English auditory stimuli and made lexical decision to visual targets (i.e., written words). The auditory stimuli contained critical two word sequences which created temporal lexical ambiguity (e.g., 'mill#company', with the competitor 'milk'). There was either an IP boundary or a word boundary between the two words in the critical sequences. The initial CV of the second word (e.g., [$k_{\Lambda}$] in 'company') was spliced from another token of the sequence in IP- or Wd-initial positions. The prime words were postboundary words (e.g., company) in Experiment 1, and preboundary words (e.g., mill) in Experiment 2. In both experiments, Korean listeners showed priming effects only in IP contexts, indicating that they can make use of IP boundary cues of English in lexical segmentation of English. The acoustic correlates of domain-initial strengthening were also exploited by Korean listeners, but significant effects were found only for the segmentation of postboundary words. The results therefore indicate that L2 listeners can make use of prosodically driven phonetic detail in lexical segmentation of L2, as long as the direction of those cues are similar in their L1 and L2. The exact use of the cues by Korean listeners was, however, different from that found with native English listeners in Cho, McQueen, and Cox (2007). The differential use of the prosodically driven phonetic cues by the native and non-native listeners are thus discussed.

The purpose of the current study is to investigate how task-irrelevant affective priming affects higher cognitive function. In the study, we selected prime stimuli from International Affective Picture System(IAPS) and examined if they influence participants' performance of syllogistic reasoning task when they are task-irrelevant. In Experiment 1, arousal of IAPS stimuli was controlled while valence of the stimuli was manipulated. In Experiment 2, valence of IAPS stimuli was controlled while arousal of stimuli was manipulated. In both experiments, task-irrelevant affective primes were followed by syllogistic reasoning tasks consisting of three sentences and measured accuracies of task performance. The results showed that valence of affective prime affected logical validity of reasoning and belief-bias whereas arousal of affective primes did not yield any difference. That is, positive valence facilitated logical and analytic processing by reducing belief-bias while arousal did not affect reasoning task performance. These results suggest that dimensions of valence and arousal independently influence higher cognitive function.

To establish the mass propagation method of Typha orientatis Presl, several factors influencing seed germination were investigated. The best seed germination of T. orientalis was achieved under the light and 25~3$0^{\circ}C$ temperature. GA$_3$ tended to enhance seed germination, and 500 mg.L$^{-1}$ GA$_3$ showed 90.7% germination, which was 1.2 times of control. Compared to control, BA treatment prohibit seed germination. Especially, seeds were not germinated under 500 mg.L$^{-1}$ BA treatment. In case of KNO$_3$ and Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$ treatment, the germination rate was decreased by all concentrations, except 100 mM Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$.

자가산부식 접착제 (self-etching primer)는 법랑질과 상아질을 동시에 산부식과 프라이머 처리를 함으로 임상 시술 시간을 단축시킬 뿐만 아니라, 임상과정 중 발생할 수 있는 술자의 실수 및 타액등에 의한 오염의 가능성을 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 약산을 이용한 산부식법이 법랑질에 대해 탈회효과 및 접착강도에 있어 논란이 되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인산을 이용한 추가적인 산부식 및 자가산부식 접착제의 적용시간을 달리할 경우 법랑질에 대한 접착강도의 변화를 알아보고자 하였다. 135개의 발거한 우치의 법랑질 면을 ＃600사포로 연마한 후 9개의 군으로 분류하였다. 각 군은 부가적인 32% 인산을 처리하지 않은 군 (1~3군), 15초간 처리한 군 (4~6군), 60초간 처리한 군 (7~9군)으로 나누고, 이를 다시 Clearfil SE Bond의 프라이머로 5초 (1, 4, 7군), 20초 (2, 5, 8군), 60초 (3, 6, 9군)간 처리한 군으로 분류하였다. 접착제 처리한 면에 Clearfil AP-X 복합레진을 접착하고 24시간 경과 후 전단응력 강도를 측정하였다. 결과는 One-way ANOVA 처리후 Duncan's multiple range test로 사후검증하였다. 동일한 자가산부식 프라이머 처리 시간을 가진 군에서 산 부식을 한 경우가 그렇지 않은 군에 비해 높은 접착강도를 나타내었으며 인산부식 시간의 차이에 의한 영향은 없었다.(1 < 4, 7군/ 2 < 5, 8군/ 3 < 6, 9군). 자가산부식제의 프라이머 적용 시간에 의한 효과는 1군(5초 적용)을 제외한 나머지 군의 경우 동일한 인산 처리군에서는 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.(1군 < 2, 3군/ 4＝5＝6군/ 7＝8＝9군). Clearfil SE Bond 접착제의 법랑질에 대한 접착강도는 부가적인 산부식을 통하여 증가시킬 수 있으며 프라이머의 적용 시간에 의한 효과는 제조자의 지시에 의한 시간 이상 적용할 경우 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

Pituitary gonadotropes, as target cells, exhibit cyclic changes in terms of LH and FSH release in synchrony with the estradiol levels. The ultimate release is determined by the relative size of the two pools of gonadotropins, which is regulated by the two controllers: LH-RH and estradiol. LH-RH appears to serve as a primary drive on the gonadotrope, stimulating gonadotropin synthesis, storage, and release. Estradiol amplifies the action of LH-RH and induces the development of a self-priming effect of LH-RH except that it impedes LH-RH mediated gonadotropin release. Negative and positive feedback action of estradiol is revealed to operate by different mechanisms. The pituitary capacity increases severalfold from early to late follicular phase, which is considered to be prerequisite for the development of mid-cycle surge. CNS-hypothalamic dopamine, norepinephrine, and prostaglandins, as well as LH-RH, are involved in the negative and positive feedback effects of estradiol. The possible mechanisms in the triggering of LH-RH release for the initiation of midcycle LH-RH surge are considered.

Purpose : To investigate the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on hypoxic cell fraction and metabolic status in fibrosarcoma (FSa II) of C3H mouse. Materials and Methods : Fibrosarcoma (FSa II) 6 mm in diameter, growing in the right hindleg muscle of C3H mouse was used for estimation of hypoxic cell fraction using comparison of $TCD_{50}$. Radiation was given one hour after administration of GBE (100 mg/kg. i.p.) with or without priming dose of GBE (100 mg/kg, i.p.) given 24 hours earlier. Radiation was also given under air breathing condition or clamp hypoxia without GBE as controls. $^{31}p$ NMR spectroscopy was performed before and one hour after administration of GBE with or without priming dose of GBE. Results : $TCD_{50/120's}$ were 81.7 (77.7-86.0) Gy when irradiated under clamped hypoxia 69.6 (66.8-72.5) Gy under air breathing condition. 67.5 (64.1-71.1) Gy with a single dose of GBE (100 mg/kg) given one hour before irradiation, and 62.2 (59.1-65.5) Gy with two doses of GBE given at 25 hours and one hour before irradiation. The hypoxic cell fractions, estimated from $TCD_{50/120's}$, were $10.6{\%}$ under air breathing condition, $7.2{\%}$ after a single dose of GBE, and $2.7{\%}$ after two doses of GBE. The results of $^{31}P$ NMR spectroscopy were as follow. PCr/Pi ratio was $0.27{\pm}0.04$ and $0.40{\pm}0.04$ before and one hour after a single dose of GBE (p<0.05), respectively, without priming dose and $0.30{\pm}0.02$ and $0.71{\pm}0.04$, respectively, with priming dose (p<0.01). These findings indicate that the metabolic status is slightly improved after a single dose and markedly after repeated administrations. Conclusion : GBE decreases the hypoxic cell fraction and imprvoes the meta bolic status of tumor, probably by increasing the blood flow and delivery of oxygen and nutrients, resulting in increased radiosensitivity of tumor.
