An epidemiological study was performed to know the recent infection status of Paragonimus westermani metacercariae (PwMc) in freshwater crayfish, Cambaroides similis, from 2 streams in Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea. Crayfish were collected from creeks in Bogil-do (Island), Wando-gun, and in a creek near Daeheung Temple in Haenam-gun. The infection rate of crayfish with PwMc in Bogil-do was 89.8%, and the metacercarial burden was 37 PwMc per the infected crayfish. Crayfish in a creek near Daeheung Temple were larger and twice heavier than those in Bogil-do. Of them, 96.5% were infected with PwMc. An average of 140 metacercariae was found in the infected crayfish, almost quadruple to those of Bogil-do. There was a strong correlation between the number of PwMc and body weight of the crayfish. These results suggest that P. westermani metacercariae are still prevalent in crayfish of the 2 regions in Jeollanam-do, Korea.

BACKGROUND: Rhizosphere bacteria may improve plant growth and productivity both by supply nutrients and hormonal stimulation. Although many experiments have shown improvements in plant growth with inoculation of bacterial cultures to the rhizosphere, the main obstacle in the applications of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria in a large scale is the inconsistency of the results. We tested the growth promoting effects of Azospirillum and Methylobacterium strains on red pepper plant. METHODS AND RESULTS: Red pepper seedlings were grown for 25 days in a growth media inoculated with A. brasilense CW903 or M. oryzae CBMB20. The seedlings were transplanted and grown for 45 days in pots with soil in a greenhouse, at half the recommended level of fertilizer. Bacterial culture, $4.0{\times}10^9$ for A. brasilense CW903 and $5.8{\times}10^8$ CFU for M. oryzae CBMB20, was applied in root zone soil periodically every 10 days during the experiment. Inoculation of M. oryzae CBMB20 significantly increased the red pepper plant growth in terms of leaf number, height and mass of shoot, or root mass compared to uninoculated control plants. Although beneficial effects of A. brasilense on plant growth of many crops were observed, the growthpromoting effect of A. brasilense CW903 on red pepper plant was not found in this study. CONCLUSION(s): The factors responsible for the irregularities in plant growth promoting of rhizobacteria are difficult to elucidate. Extensive inoculation experiments in the greenhouse and in the field should enable us to define the factors critical to obtain successful application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria.

본 연구의 목적은 주거용 태양열 온수이용에 있어서 성층저장의 잠점을 평가하고 최적의 설계변수를 제시하되 실험이 아닌 시뮬레이션을 통한다는 것이다. 그 결과는 다음과 같으며 실험의 결과들과 잘 일치함을 보였다. 1. 탱크의 성층분활이 증가함에 따라서 태양부하율이 증가함을 보여 주었고 본 연구에서는 평균 10% 정도 증가함을 나타내었다. 2. 저장탱크의 높이 대 지름의 비가 3정도일 때가 태양부하율이 최대가 되었으며 그 이상이 되면 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 3. 집열기로 부터 저장탱크로 유입되는 온수의 유동율이 증가할 수록 완전혼합저장에서는 태양부하율이 증가하지만 성충저장에서는 유입율이 감소하는 것이 태양부하율을 증가시키는 결과가 되었다. 4. 이와 같은 결과로 성층축열시스템 전체적으로는 약 17%의 성능 향상을 기대할 수 있다.
