These experiments were conducted to recognize the germination change in relation to storage period, using 25 kinds of field-collected weed seeds stored under the dry and low temperature ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$), and to establish a simple germination induction methods in some kinds of them. No or weak dormancy was observed in Lepidium virginicum, Rumex japonicus, Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense, Aeschnomene indica and Ludwigia prostrate. The germination of Digltaria sanguinalis, Portulaca oleracea, Amaranthus spp., Echinochloa crux-galli, Polygonum persicaria, Cyperus iria, and Aeschynnmene indica was enhanced by $H_2SO_4$ treatment for 20, 2, 2, 50, 40, 3 or 5 minutes, respectively. Favorable germination in Polygonum persicaria and Echinochloa crus-galli was obtained by soaking in water for 25 days and 50 days, respectively. Moisture treatment for 21 days and 14 days caused the enhancement of germination in Cyperus difformis and Aneilema keisak, respectively. Combination of various treatments in Cyperus iria was most effective when the seeds treated with $H_2SO_4$ for 3 minutes incubated in alternating temp. after soaking in 0.2% $KNO_3$, but their effect on Digitaria sanguinnlis was little.

This research was aimed to extend the vase life and improve the quality of cut roses 'Marina'. This study investigated the effect of three different angles and sucrose concentration on the vase life and the quality of cut rose flowers. In first experiment, cut roses were placed in three different angles ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$) in holding solutions containing 0.5, 1 and 2% sucrose (soaking treatment), and examined the number of petals of cut roses. In second experiment, cut roses were placed in three different angles after pre-treated in 0, 1, 2 and 4% sucrose solution for 2 and 20 hours, and examined the flower diameter of cut roses. In third experiment, cut roses were examined the pigmentation, flowing response and chlorophyll contents in cut roses by three different angles after pulsing treatment (pre-treatment) in holding solution containing 2% sucrose for 2 and 20 hours. Results of this study showed that cut roses were influenced by arranging angles and sucrose concentrations. The vase life of cut roses were extended in $45^{\circ}$ and $90^{\circ}$ arranging angle, as compared with the control (distilled water), and the holding solution containing 2% sucrose significantly increased vase life of cut roses(P < 0.05). Flower diameter of cut roses pre-treated in 4% sucrose solution for 2 and 20 hours significantly decreased (P < 0.05). The pigmentation and flowing response in cut roses were beneficial in $45^{\circ}$ arranging angle treated with 2% sucrose solution for 2 and 20 hours. Chlorophyll content in leaves of cut roses was not influenced by arranging angles. The pigmentation and flowing response of $0^{\circ}$ and $45^{\circ}$ arranging angles were better than that of 90 arranging angle. The vase life of cut roses in $45^{\circ}$ arranging angle was more prolonged than that in $90^{\circ}$ arranging angle. In conclusion, the arranging angles seem to be effective in retarding senescence of cut rose flowers.

This study evaluated the germination rate of $Rheum$ $palmatum$ L. in Korea as affected by storage temperature, germination temperature, and a soaking treatment. The germination rate of $R.$ $palmatum$ L. stored at various conditions for 8 weeks was > 60%. The highest germination rate occurred at $25^{\circ}C$. The germination point of $R.$ $palmatum$ L. with soaking was started 1 day after application, and non soaked seeds germinated in 2 days. When $R.$ $palmatum$ L. was soaked with water, the germination rate was lower, but mean germination velocity was the highest. These results may help our understanding of variations in germination characteristics for seeds treated under different germination conditions.

This study was carried out to investigate the optimal process conditions of instant soybean soup for the soybean noodles. The process of soybean soup was in the other or soaking, cooking, peeling, drying, milling and packaging. The optimal conditions of soaking process obtained at 25$\^{C}$ for 4hrs, and the protein content of yellow and black soybean after soaking treatment were 21.97% and 19.58%, respectively. As the increasing of cooking time, the moisture content was not changed, and optimal cooking condition through the sensory evaluation was obtained at 100$\^{C}$ and 15min. The protein contents of cooked yellow and black soybean dried by hot-air and far infrared-ray were 43.40∼44.18% and 44.59∼51.36%, respectively. From the results of sensory evaluation, the yellow and black soybean dried with far infrared-ray at 45$\^{C}$ for 5hrs were excellent, and the difference between the marketed soybean soup and instant soybean soup produced by this experimental process for soybean noodles was not exist. The optimal concentration of instant soybean soup for soybean noodles was determined to be 50g of soybean powder with 1L water.

A serious problem of the 21st century is the supply of energy resources. Reserves of fossil fuels are facing depletion: renewable energy resources must be developed in this era. Dye sensitizedsolar cells(DSC) have been very economical and easy method to convert solar energy to electricity. DSC can reach low costs in future outdoor power applications. However, to commercialize the DSC, there are still many shortages to overcome. When the DSC is commercialized in the near future, the productivity is an important factor. In the process of soaking in a dye, it usually takes $12\sim24$ hours. In this study, we varied the dye coloring temperature from $0^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. At the temperature of $40^{\circ}C$, DSC cell showed the best performance. We also expect the reduction of the time soaking in a dye. Counter electrode surface of DSC is deposited by RF magnetron sputtering under the conditions of Ar $2.8{\times}10^{-3}$ torr, RF power of 120W and substrate temperature of $100^{\circ}C$.

This study was carried out to experiment the dimensional stabilization of woods of red pine (Pinus densiflora S. et Z.) and sugi(Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) by vacuum impregnation of polyehtylene glycols(PEG) with mo. wt. 200, 400, 600, 1000; polypropylene glycols (PPG) with mo. wt. 425,725 ; PEG-acryloylates, and PPG-acryloylates synthesized, and then by water soaking. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The density of sapwood and heartwood was different from each other in both species. 2. The PEG and PEG-macromers with lower molecular weight by impregnation has increased the density of wood specimens more higher, thereby caused their higher volume expansion, and those with higher molecular weight than 600 has tended to down their density increment. 3. Before and after water soaking, the density decrease of specimen impregnated was high in woods impregnated with simple PEG and PPG, while lower in specimens impregnated with PEG-macromers and PPG-macromers. 4. So PEG-macromer was expected to hold the original dimension of decayed wood for antiques, but it was necessary to develop another penetration method as well as aqueous solvent.

Process of the hydroxyapapite(HA) precipitation on bioactive titanium metal prepared by NaOH in a modified-simulated body fluid(mSBF) was investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) attached with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDX). The amorphous titanate phase on titanium surface is form by NaOH treatment and an amorphous titanate incorporated calcium and phosphate ions in the liquid to form an amorphous calcium phosphate. With increasing of soaking time in the liquid, the HA particles are observed in amorphous calcium phosphate phase with a Ca/P atomic ratio of I.30. The octacalcium phosphate (OCP) structure is not detected in HRTEM image and electron diffraction pattern. After a long soaking time, the HA particles grow as needle-like shape on titanium surface and a large particle-like aggregates of needle-like substance were observed to form on titanium surface within needle-like shape. A long axis of needle parallels to c-direction of the hexagonal HA structure.

The separation conditions for the enhancement of isoflavone contents in soybean by soaking and germination were developed, and the fermentation conditions of Chungkukjang were optimized by using response surface methodology analysis. The high-yield of isoflavone production was obtained when the conditions of soaking and gemination were at 25.6$^{\circ}C$, 7 hr and 29.1$^{\circ}C$, 42.4 hr, respectively. Total isoflavone contents in soybean (Daepung) by treatment were increased from 1,012 ppm to 1,912 ppm. Also, the optimum fermentation conditions of Chungkukjang were determined 39.96$^{\circ}C$, 1.32% (inoulum size) and 42.4 hr, respectively. Isoflavone contents in Chungkugjang under the optimum fermentation conditions were 1.3 times higher than the control (1,960 ppm).
