Objectives: This study was conducted to review the Toxic UseReduction Act of Massachusetts, USA, which has been evaluated as a successfulcase of a chemical reduction policy, and to search for ways to introduce it inKorea. Methods: We analyzed the implementation of the TURA by attending TUR Planning Course of the Toxic Use Reduction Institute in Massachusetts and researching the related literature. Results: As TURA took effect, the use of chemicals in Massachusetts was reduced, and cost savings were achieved in workplaces. The success factors for the legislation are considered to be support form the federal and state governments and the active participation of business and civic group. Domestic efforts to reduce toxic substances have already begun, so if the process of TURA is appropriately applied to domestic legislation of chemicals control, it would be expected to produce visible results. Therefore, we reviewed the 'Act on Chemicals Registration and Assessment', 'Act on Chemical Control' and 'Act on the Integrated Control of Pollutant-Discharging Facilities' and sought solution for applying TURA to each piece of legislation. For the first case, 'Toxic or Hazardous Substance List' and 'Establishment of Toxic Use Fee' is applicable. For the second case, 'Annual Toxic or Hazardous Substance Reports' is applicable. For the third case, 'Toxic Reduction Plans' and 'Toxics Use Reduction Institute and 'Toxic Use Reduction Planners' is applicable. Conclusions: The government should take notice appropriateness for the reduction of toxic chemicals and provide financial support. Businesses should invest in technologies that build trust with local communities, improve productivity, and reduce costs. Finally, civic group should cooperate with government and businesses.

The toxics regulatory body provides a benefit/cost ratio as a justification criterion while implementing regulations that induce the industry to reduce emissions voluntarily. Furthermore, since, the body wants to reflect not only the efficiency standard but also the policy standard in the evaluation of feasibility, it calculates the ratio by adjusting the importance weights. The problem is that respondents answer ambiguously. It should be removed for the reasonable evaluation. This study introduced a fuzzy-AHP methodology for this, and applied it to the voluntary emission reduction plan program in Korea.

A checklist is presented concerning the species composition of Hymenomycetes (Aphyllophorales s.l.) and Heterobasidiomycetes in Israel based on data of previous studies and field sample collections. In total, 242 species are presented, of which five are new records for the Israeli mycobiota, namely Australohydnum dregeanum, Ceriporiopsis consobrina, C. resinascens, Fibroporia vaillantii, and Postia inocybe. The distribution and habitat of each species in Israel are also summarized. This checklist will serve as valuable data for future species diversity studies of these fungi in Israel.

다공성 물질이 충전된 밀폐용기 내에서 수용성 이원혼합용액($H_2O{+}NaCl$)이 수평한 상부전열면으로 부터 동결될 때 혼합용액의 초기농도, 액체의 과열 및 다공성물질의 입자직경 크기가 온도와 농도분포에 미치는 영향을 실험하였으며, 동결이 진행됨에 따라 이동하는 고액상 혼합영역의 계명위치를 측정하였다. 다공성물질은 평균직경이 2.85mm, 6mm인 구형의 유리구슬을 이용하였다. 수용성 혼합용액의 초기농도는 공융농도도 이하로 하였으며 상부 전열면은 공융온도 이하로, 하부전열면은 액상선온도 이상으로 유지하여 동결 실험한 결과 상부 전열면으로 부터 고체 영역, 고액상혼합영역, 액체영역으로 구분되었다. 액체의 초기농도가 5%인 경우 과냉현상이 관찰되었으나 10%, 15%인 경우 액체온도는 액상선 온도보다 더 높았다. 용액의 초기농도를 감소시킬수록 고체와 고액상혼합영역의 범위는 증대되었으며 고액상혼합영역과 고체영역의 계면은 더욱 강해진 자연대류에 의하여 2차원성이 증가된 형상을 보였다. 용액의 자연대류는 다공성물질의 직경이 클수록 증가되었으며 계면에서의 제융해현상은 관찰되지 않았다.

Cultural Conditions for the Improvement in Gibberellic Acid Productivity by a Mutant of Gibberellafujikuroi ATCC 12616-Gibberella fujikuroi G-36 . Dh, Young-Jun. Department of Food and Biotechnolog}'r Dongshm Umversity, Naju 520-714, Korea - A mutant Gibberella jujih/roi G- 36 was selected by metagenesis of G/bberella fitjikuroi ATCC 12616 with mutagens such as N-methy1-N'~nitro~N"nitrosoguanidine and hydroxylamine for improving productivity of gibberellic acid. The mutant strain produced gibberellic acid (70 mg/l) more than that of wilde type. A fermentation medium containing glucose, $NH_4N0_3$, $MgS0_4$, $KH_2P0_4$ and trace elements was deve]oped for the maximal production of a gibberellic acid by the mutanL The Guctuating cultural temperature that was vaded from 300e to 20DC resulted in higher GA yield than that of fixed cu1tura] temperature at $28^{\circ}C$.
