  • We made biological investigation on the conservational environment of collections in the Ho Am museum. Annual average temperature and relative humidity outside the museum were $11. 0∼11.7^{\circ}C$ and 64.8∼74.4% respectivey. On the other hand, average annual temperature and relative humidity inside the main storage were $19.1∼20.1^{\circ}C$ and 53.0∼63.4%. We isolated fungi and classified into 8 genus 13species fungi and selected four fungi having high cellulotic activity such as Alternaria brassicae KCPRI 9202, Aspergillus niger KCPRI 9205, Aspergillusversicolor KCPRI 9206, Penicillium adametzi KCPRI 9208. These fungi were examined on the posibility of collections being damaged under current conservation al environment in the museum. KCPRI 9208 was non-tonophilic fungus and other were facutative tonophilic fungi. These showed maximal cellulotic activity of enzymeshaking culture at pH 5.0∼5.5 for 4 and 5 days. In proprtion to the period damaged, cellulase activity for paper damaged artifically with growing worse of material. As are sult cellulotic activity by fungi increased.

  • Colour consistency is an important consideration when selecting pigments used on works of art. In this study, we analyse the colour difference between two sets of synthetic blue glass pigments acquired at least 8 years apart from the same manufacturer in Japan. The old pigment set (unused, dry powder with four different grain sizes) appears faded compared to the new set. These pigments are made available for artistic use, commonly in Nihonga or Japanese paintings. Raman spectroscopy and SEM-EDS results characterize these pigments as cobalt aluminate spinels dissolved in leaded glaze, a special class of complex coloured inorganic pigments that is not well-understood in the field of conservation. Colour difference between the old and new pigments with four different grain sizes were quantified by analysing photomicrographs with image analysis software. Blue pigments with coarse and extremely fine grains showed significant colour change compared to pigments with medium and fine grain sizes. The high occurrence of crystallites in the finer grains give a final colour that is bluer and lighter. Possible causes for the colour difference including manufacturing methods and storage environment are discussed.

  • Utilization of renewable energy is becoming increaingly important from the viewpoints of environmental protection and conservation of fossil fuel. However, the generating power of renewable energy is always fluctuating due to the environmental status. This paper presents a scheme for supervisory control of wind generation system with the energy storage and STATCOM to reduce the power variation. In this paper, we especially concentrate on constant power output control of wind generation system. In order to achieve this purpose, the coordinated control strategy between different types of energy storage system and reactive power compensation device. The proposed control scheme has been validated by PSCAD/EMTDC simulation. As a result, the proposed scheme can handle the power output of wind generation system with a constant value.

  • Conservation re-treatment of dagger and scabbard in Gyeongju National Museum, which were excavated from Gyerim-ro Tomb No. 14 (Treasure No. 635) was carried out after a wide-scale dissembling in order for publishing a report and holding a special exhibition. The interior shape of the iron dagger which was disclosed by ornament plates was confirmed by X-ray investigation. The results of XRF analysis which was used to analyse compositions of the golden ornament plates reveal that having more than 3% of copper distinguishes it from other Silla gold artifacts. The conservation treatment progressed in a way that surface contaminants were removed and insecure areas were consolidated. The original shape of the iron dagger and scabbard was found after adhering and restoration. With the ornament plates staying on the iron dagger, a stand in acrylic for display and storage was made, which is able to place the dagger and scabbard in the safest way.

  • Excavated costumes included clothing that had been buried together with the corpse and shroud and unearthed during the excavation or the process transferring the tomb. The remains may easily get damaged under a different condition from the burial place, having gone through the deterioration process together with the corpse. In particular, since they are vulnerable to microbial propagation, suitable storage and conservation treatment immediately after excavation are required. Although more of them are unearthed in various parts of the country owing to exponential land development activities, they are rarely preserved properly due to a lack of appreciation of their value and a dearth of expert. Therefore, scientific examination and emergency preservation measures for the excavated costumes shall be described.

  • With the purpose to estimate the possibility of short-term storage and cryopreservation for sperm of Charonia sauliae, which is a potential preparation for its artificial reproduction and further research, in this study, protocols for short-term storage and cryopreservation of trumpet shell sperm was optimized. The effects of different immobilizing solutions, dilution ratios were estimated for short-term storage. And the effects of different cryoprotectant extenders and freezing rates were estimated for cryopreservation in terms of motility and survival of sperm. The results indicated that the artificial sea water of 350 mOsmol/kg is a better immobilizing solution and sperm which was diluted at a ratio of 1:1 (v/v) had higher motility and survival rate during short-term storage. The effect of 5% dimethyl sulfoxide was significantly better than those of other cryoprotectant extenders. And a freezing rate of $-20^{\circ}C\;min^{-1}$ showed better effect than other freezing rates. In conclusion, this study optimized some key factors of the short-term and cryopreservation of C. sauliae sperm, which can provide valuable data for germ-plasm conservation and artificial propagation of C. sauliae.
