To develop small-scale sewage treatment apparatus for detached house of agricultural village, a small-scale sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic bed was constructed. To reduce the area of a sewage treatment apparatus, four different fitter media were used and each filter medium was coarse sand, broken stone, steel slag, and mixed fitter media (coarse sand : broken stone : steel slag = 1:1:1). The efficiency of sewage treatment according to the depth of aerobic and anaerobic bed and the volume ratio of aerobic to anaerobic bed were investigated in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus. The removal rate of pollutants according to the depth of aerobic and anaerobic bed in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of 50 cm < 70 cm < 90 cm. The removal rate of pollutants according to the ratio of aerobic to anaerobic bed in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus was high in the order of 1:1 < 1:2 $\fallingdotseq$ 1:3. Under the optimum conditions, removal rate of BOD, COD, SS, T-N and T-P were $98{\sim}99,\;95{\sim}97,\;99,\;65{\sim}66\;and\;96{\sim}99%$ respectively, in small-scale sewage treatment apparatus.

Commercial value of soybean sprouts should be affected by their morphology including the lateral roots. This study was carried out to determine the effect of benzyladenopurine (BA) concentration on growth and morphology of soybean sprouts in order to compare them with the selling products collected from the markets. Four cultivars (cv. Eunhakong, Pungsannamulkong, Sowonkong, and Junjery) were cultured for 6 days after imbibed for 5 hours into different BA solutions (0, 1,2,4, and 8 ppm). On the 6th day, hypocotyl length was measured to calculate the composition rate of ＞ 7 cm (A), 4 to 7 cm (B), ＜ 4 cm (C) and non-germination (D), and the ratio of hypocotyl to root length (H/R ratio) on the base of hypocotyl length as well as lateral root, hypocotyl diameter, and fraction fresh and dry weights. The composition rates classified with hypocotyl length showed big differences between 4 cultivars in class A and C; Class A, in which cv. Sowonkong and Junjery had higher rates than cv. Eunhakong and Pungsannamulkong, was decreased with BA concentration of higher than 4 ppm, but class C showed the reverse result to class A. Any lateral root was not formed in higher than 4 ppm BA solutions although fewer in cv. Pungsannamulkong and Junjery than in the two other cultivars. Hypocotyl and root lengths were decreased with increased BA concentrations, and in all BA concentration, hypocotyl length of cv. Junjery was the longest. Hypocotyl diameter, hypocotyl and total fresh weights were thicker and heavier in 2 to 4 ppm BA concentrations than in the other ones, although in case of BA application, cv, Eunhakong and Sowonkong were heavier. The H/R ratios were increased with increased BA concentration. The ratios of nearly all the selling products ranged from 1 to 2 ppm when compared to them from our experiment.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of different height of drainpipe and growing media soilless cultivated cut rose in container culture. Two experiment were to examine the effect of the drainpipe height and media composition on yield and quality of cut rose, Four different drainpipe height (0, 3, 6, 9 cm) were treated to determine of optimal container type. Yield was the highest at 3 cm drainpipe height, but quality was not significantly affected by drainpipe height. Survival rate of rose was 100%, 100%, 92%, and 92%, respectively. Two different drainpipe height (0, 3 cm) and 7 media composition (pure coir and pelite, and mixed with two media 3 : 1, 2 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 1 : 3 v/v) was treated to determine of media composition related to drainpipe height. The supply of nutrient solution was controlled by the signal of water potential at -5 kPa using frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensor in mixed coir with pelite 3 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 3 (v/v), respectively. Irrigation frequency reduced in high ratio of coir media and 3 cm height of drainpipe. Quality of cut rose except for flower weight and yield until 2nd harvest was not significantly affected by drainpipe height, but yield after 3rd was higher at 3 cm than 0 cm height of darinpipe. In the media composition, yield and qulity of cut rose was increased at high ratio of coir media.

The scale effect should be considered to determine the bearing capacity and settlement of footings from Plate-Load Test, because of the size difference between a footing and a loading plate. To analyze characteristics of bearing capacity and settlement according to the difference of loading plate sizes, model tests were performed with four different sizes of square plate, which are B=10, 15, 20 and 25cm, on five different kinds of subsoil. Based on the analyzed results, this paper also proposes a method of bearing capacity and settlement determination, where scale effect is considered depending on the mixing ratio of sand and clay. Until now, uneconomic constructions have been conducted because of unreasonable evaluation in estimating bearing capacity and settlement of footings from Plate-Load Test in fields. In the application of the formula proposed in this research to field problems, it is expected that evaluation of bearing capacity and settlement of footings can be more reliable and more economic construction can be achieved.

The practicality of utilizing ventilation pipe to enhance soybean sprout productivity by lowering commodity temperature and resultant sprout rot was tested. The ventilation pipes with holes for aeration were vertically installed inside of a sprout cultivation container prior to adding soaked soybean seeds. The time-series changes in sprout commodity temperature and resultant growth, yield, marketable sprout percentage, and rot of soybean sprouts were measured. The ventilation pipes effectively decreased sprout commodity decreased sprout commodity temperature by 4.7$^{\circ}C$. Ventilation pipes also enhanced sprout yield and marketable sprout percentage by 3.9% and 4.0%, respectively, while reducing sprout rot by 4.1%. In conclusion, ventilation pipe seems a practical and effective non-chemical method to enhance the productivity of soybean sprouts.

This study was conducted to examine an alternative cultivating method that uses coir substrates in a hydroponically cultured system. Three treatment conditions were applied with one-layer substrate (10 cm height) with a coir chip and dust ratio of 5:5 (Treatment A), two-layer coir substrate (20 cm height) with a coir chip and dust ratio of 5:5 (Treatment B), one-layer coir substrate (15 cm height) with a coir chip and dust ratio of 7:3 (Treatment C). The control condition was a plastic container filled with a coir chip and dust ratio of 5:5. Various criteria were measured and compared between the treatments and the control. The yield of strawberry was smaller in the control than in the treatments. No significant difference in growth characteristic was found in the height treatments of the coir substrates. The net photosynthetic rate of the treatments was 14.68-15.76 µmol CO₂·m^-2·s^-1. This does not show a statistically significant difference. The root activity was better in treatment B and C than in treatment A and the control. The length and width of leaves were measured as 4.04-4.13 cm and 3.26-3.34 cm. These results are not statistically significant. The leaf length and width ratio was 1.27 in the control and 1.24 in the treatments. The findings show that no statistically significant benefit was found when utilizing coir substrates with different height treatments in the hydroponic culture system. However, the harvested fruit per plant weights 72.38 g in treatment A and 48.69 g in treatment C. The number of harvested fruit was least in treatment C in which a coir chip and dust ratio of 7:3 was applied. Therefore, further research is needed to examine how the chip and dust ratio in coir substrate affects growth characteristics.

This study was conducted to develop a method for depth assessment of embedded sources using gamma-spectrum ratio and for the evaluation of field applicability. To this end, Peak to Compton and Peak to valley ratio changes were evaluated according to ¹³⁷Cs, ⁶⁰Co, ¹⁵²Eu point source depth using HPGe detector and MCNP simulation. The effects of measurement distance of PTV and PTC methods were evaluated. Using the results, the source depth assessment equation using the PTC and PTV methods was derived based on the detection distance of 50 cm. In addition, the sensitivity of detection distance changes was assessed when using PTV and PTC methods, and error increased by 3 to 4 cm when detection distance decreased by 20 cm based on 50 cm. However, it was confirmed that if the detection distance was increased to 100 cm, the effects of detection distance were small. And PTV and PTC methods were compared with the two distance measurement method which evaluates the depth of source by the change of net peak counting rate according to the detection distance. As a result of source depth assessment, the PTV and PTC showed a maximum error of 1.87 cm and the two distance measurement method showed maximum error of 2.69 cm. The results of the experiment confirmed that the accuracy of the PTV and PTC methods was higher than two distance measurement. In addition, Sensitivity evaluation by horizontal position error of source has maximum error of less than 25.59 cm for the two distance measurement method. On the other hand, PTV and PTC method showed high accuracy with maximum error of less than 8.04 cm. In addition, the PTC method has lowest standard deviation for the same time measurement, which is expected to enable rapid measurement.

Serious problems in reclaimed land for agriculture are high soil salinity and very poor vertical drainage. However, desalinization in these soils is very difficult. To identify the change of soil permeability by the gypsum incorporation in soils we observed elution patterns and salt distribution of the soil using soil columns packed with reclaimed saline soil with various rates of gypsum amendment. Saturated hydraulic conductivity ($K_{sat}$) of the top soil of reclaimed saline soils without gypsum incorporation was close 0 cm $hr^{-1}$ while $K_{sat}$ increased up to 0.3 cm $hr^{-1}$ with increasing amount of gypsum for 0.4% or more gypsum. Also $K_{sat}$ of the reclaimed saline soils for top soil was drastically increased to 1.0 cm $hr^{-1}$ or slightly greater after 141 hour's elution experiment. The cumulative amount of cation recovered in the effluent also increased in the order of gypsum incorporation rate 0.8% > 0.6% > 0.4 > 0.2%. Soil EC in soil columns decreased from initial 33.9 dS $m^{-1}$ to less than 0.4 dS $m^{-1}$ and exchangeable Ca 2+ increased by 32~140% according to gypsum incorporation rate.
