This study was performed to define the effects of various levels (0∼15%) of dietary yellow loess on serum constituents in Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). After seven weeks of feeding trial, hemoglobin, protein, albumin, triglyceride, cholesterol and bilirubin in serum were investigated. Chemical composition of yellow loess were composed of SiO2 49.80%, Al2O3 27.50%, FeO3 8.33%, CaO 0.09%, MgO 0.64%, K2O 1.62%, Na2O 0.12%, P2O5 0.20% and MnO 0.03%. Serum levels of total protein and albumin showed higher values the yellow loess addition groups than the control group, and the values of protein and albumin were increased with dietary yellow loess level. Serum levels of triglyceride and cholesterol in the groups fed yellow loess were lower than those in the group fed control diet. And these values decreased with dietary yellow loess level up 10%, then increased with 15% yellow loess diet. The values of bilirubin in serum significantly decreased with dietary yellow loess level up 10%, then increased with 15% yellow loess diet. Hemoglobin level from rockfish fed 7.5% and 10% yellow loess diet were significantly higher than those from fed the control diet.

This study was conducted to examined the effect of dietary supplementation of yellow loess on the growth performance and blood component profiles in pigs. A total of one hundred fifty three pigs (60 one weeks old piglets and 93 adult pigs). Piglets were randomly divided into 3 groups which were control, control + 0.5% yellow loess, control + 1% yellow loess. We measured body weight and weight gain among treatment group. Indeed, we obtained hematological data with WBC, RBC, Hb, Hct, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, and PLT in all loess supplemented group compared to the control. Adults were divided into 2 group (control and control + 1% yellow loess) and serum albumin levels in 1% yellow loess supplemented group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.01). Amount of crude fat in feces was significantly reduced in yellow loess supplemented group (p<0.001), but no differences were observed at crude protein and crude ash in both groups. In carcass weight and back fat thickness, no significant differences were observed between control and yellow loess supplemented groups. The carcass grade was improved by the dietary supplementation of yellow loess compared to the pig fed control. As a results, dietary yellow loess improves nutrient absorption and carcass grade.

The experiments about dyeing concentration, temperature and time were done using yellow, red and purple loess as natural inorganic dyes in order to verify a degree of dyeing, characteristics of color and fastness. The results were as following; 1. As a result of analyzing components of loess, purple loess was much than other loess in quartz component and coarse particles contained. This affected to the degree of dyeing. 2. The stronger dyeing concentration was, the more the degree of dyeing was improved, and yellow loess containing fine particles was the best in the degree of dyeing. 3. When it was dyed with raising up to $100^\circ{C}$ for 10 minutes after stirring for 20 minutes at $60^\circ{C}$, was better than on starting at $40^\circ{C}$ or $80^\circ{C}$ in the degree of dyeing. Also yellow loess was the best in these experiments. 4. Washing fastness of loess was low such as other natural dyes, but dyeing wasn't transferred to other textiles. On the other hand, light fastness of it was very excellent and rubbing fastness was relatively good as 3~3.5.

The purpose of this study is to propose a method of controlling redtide microbes which grow abundantly and form harmful algal bloom in eutrophic waterbody with yellow loess and hydrogen peroxide. In the laboratory test, hydrogen peroxide was applied to single species of C. polykrikoides and multispecies of redtide microbes. The seawater was evaluated by the pre-test analysis including chlorophyll-a, luminance and transmittance. The test results showed that both single and mixed species of redtide microbes could be controlled with the dose of 30mg $H_2O_2/L$. Residual hydrogen peroxide was completely decomposed with the addition of powdered yellow loess at 2g/L~10g/L. However, the decomposition rate of residual hydrogen peroxide for sintered granular yellow loess was relatively low compared to the use of powdered one. With the addition of dissolved oxygen concentration was increased at a rate of 0.013 mg DO/mg $H_2O_2$, which is a little lower than the one predicted theoretically. No evidence for any detrimental effects on Artemia, a type of brine shrimps, was shown up to the concentration of 100mg $H_2O_2/L$.

To assess the adsorption and removal mechanism of dissolved inorganic nutrients in seawater by scattering yellow loess, a laboratory experiment was conducted for the change of nutrient concentration in seawater during the course of time depending on particle size and scattered concentration of the yellow loess. Twenty four hours after the addition of yellow loess in the size range of 0 $\mu$m to 500 $\mu$m in seawater, the removal rate of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was increased with increasing amount of yellow loess. There was little difference among the removal rates depending on the size of yellow loess. On average, $26\%$ of dissolved inorganic silicate was reduced for the same period. No greate difference among the removal rate depending on both size and amount of yellow loess was found. Our results suggested that the removal mechanism of DU seemed to be associated with mostly the chemical bond with iron. More than $99\%$ of initial DU concentration was likely to be removed by this mechanism. In the case of inorganic dissolved silicate, the removal mechanism was likely to be attributed to a cation exchange between the yellow loess and seawater.

Yellow loess, Tidal plat sediment, and mud are blown to be high in adsorption though they have great distinction according to the ratio of clay minerals content and their kinds. Thus one of the samples for this study can be obtained by drying of Yellow loess, Tidal plat sediment, and the mud which is semifinished products that are from the progress of heat treatment and making homogeneity which can be found everywhere in our county. Another sample can be prepared by reducing pollutants with the adsorbent and by homing heavy metals of their on. With the samples, noxious heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, and essential trace elements such as Cu, Fe, Mn by each concentration is tested for adsorption according to pH, the kinds of adsorbents and the amount of injection. With the help of these steps, this study shows that the adsorbents, which are green, reducing the additional pollution and low in price, can be found. It also shows that the optimal condition for removing pollutants can be found and the basic materials for treating water can be offered. The results were as follows ; Yellow loess shows the rates of adsorption by more than 50% and Tidal plat sediment and Mud show it by more than 90%. Thus Tidal plat sediment and Mud are higher than Yellow loess the rates of adsorption. The pH should be treated in natural condition because the rates of adsorption of Pb, Cd, Cu, Mn excepting Fe in mud is higher in pH 7 than in pH 3 of Yellow loess, Tidal plat sediment, and Mud. The drying adsorbents are good to use because the rates of adsorption of heavy metals has tendency to be higher in the drying method than in the burning method. It is considered that the more the mont of the injection of the adsorbent is , the higher the rates of adsorption is, and one gram is reasonable for the amount of the injection of Tidal plat sediment and mud. Yellow loess is suitable for the treatment of the water that includes low concentration of heavy metals because it has the lower rate of adsorption as the concentration of noxious heavy metals is higher. It is thought that Tidal plat sediment and Mud is proper for the treatment of the water that includes high concentration of heavy metals because the rates of adsorption has not been changed as the concentration of heavy metals increases.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of yellow loess on performance and blood component profile in broiler chickens. A total of three hundred sixty, 1 day old broiler chicks (Ross) were randomly divided into 3 groups with 4 replicates of 30 birds each. The experiment feeds were; control (basal diet), 0~10 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 4%, T2 2%), 11~21 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 2%, T2 1%), 22~35 days (basal diet with yellow loess T1 1%, T2 1%). The body weight and weight gain of the broilers fed T2 diet was significant higher than the T1 and control treatment (P<0.05). Feed intake was significantly higher than the control during overall period (P<0.05). Total cholesterol in all yellow loess supplemented treatments were significantly higher than the control treatment (P<0.05), and the triglyceride of broiler fed the diet containing T1 was significantly higher than the control and T2 treatment (P<0.05). No significant differences were observed on the total white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil (NE), monocyte (MO) and eosinophil (EO) in all yellow loess supplemented treatments compared to the control. Lymphocyte of T2 treatment was significantly higher than T1 and control treatment (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed on fecal ammonia gas emission, but broiler fed yellow loess was lower than the control treatment. Aa a result, dietary supplementation of yellow loess was improve to weight gain and feed intake of broiler.

To investigate the effects of yellow loess on the microbial community after applying into C. polykrikoides as a red tide centrol method during decomposition process, we conducted this study using microcosm experiments, which consisted of sediment collected from Jinhae and Masan bay. The composition, number of bacteria and respiratory electron transport system activity (ETSA) were analyzed. The number of heterotrophic bacteria examined in the samples of both stations reached maximum value within 12 hrs with $10^7$ cells/dry g, independent with the yellow loess applied. In addition, a differenee in the variation of heterotrophic bacterial composition was not observed by adding the yellow loess, and Vibrio spp. always appeared during the culture periods, However, in day 8 culture, the sulfate reducing bacteria was $3.8\times10^7$ cells/dry g in Masan bay and $5.5\times10^6$ cells/dry g in Jinhae bay samples without yellow loess, and these were 120, 350 fold-and 160, 420 fold-increased when yellow loess was added (1 : 1, 1 : 2). The average ETSA was 6.8$\~$7.6 $\mu$g formazan $h^{-1}$ dry $g^{-1}$ independently with yellow loess in aerobic condition for both samples, but activity was decreased by addition of yellow loess in anaerobic. Thus the addition of yellow loess to marine sediment seems to have an effect to inhibit the anaerobic decomposition process and growth of sulfate reducing bacteria which lead to the bad condition of marine environments.

An optimized manufacturing process was developed for the production of high-quality loess red ginseng using a hybrid process in which loess (yellow earth) was incorporated into the conventional ginseng manufacturing process system. We designed conventional ginseng processing facilities and prepared the loess module by baking loess that contained 42% water at $860^{\circ}C$ for 8 h. The loess module showed excellent performance in deodorization and humidity control. The optimum steaming temperature at which maximum expansion of starch organisms occurred was 90 to $98^{\circ}C$.

The Yellow Sand Events observed over the Korean peninsula during 22-24 April, 1993 were examined using the synoptic data and GMS visible image to identify the transport path of the Yellow Sand and the main factor governing the duration of the Yellow Sand phenomenon. The 850 hPa convergence chart and the 700 hPa trajectory analyses of the air mass laden with Yellow Sand particles suggested that the Yellow Sand particles observed over Korea were probably transported from the Gobi Desert and the Loess Plateau. The duration of the Yellow Sand Events was about 35-40 hours rather shorter than normal as the high pressure system centered near the Mongolia region moved rapidly toward the Yellow Sea, which drove away the Yellow Sand particles over the Korean peninsula toward the Japan Islands, furthermore the low-level stratification of the air mass over the Korean penishula showed the unstable atmospheric condition leading to atmospheric diffusion of the particles. The trajectory analyses and the GMS visible image indicated that the long-range transport of the air mass laden with the Yellow Sand particles of this case was more dependent on the 700 hPa air flow than on the 850 hPa air flow.
