This study demonstrates the application of hyperspectral analysis as a pigment identification method for modern and contemporary Dancheong, the polychrome surface on traditional Korean wooden buildings. In particular, green pigments are the focus of this study. Green pigments in modern and contemporary Dancheong have the largest variation of materials and show a noticeable timeline. Thus, they are most suitable for estimating the manufacture or restoration period of Dancheong. Hyperspectral analysis is a noncontact, long-distance measurement technique that has advantages in the field of Dancheong analysis. It is capable of identifying both organic and inorganic pigments, unlike existing analysis methods. For this experiment, green and other pigments used during the modern and contemporary era were selected and made into painted samples under various mixing conditions that reflect their actual uses. Through hyperspectral analysis, their reflectance characteristics were observed, which enables the derivation of four main features that can distinguish the type of pigments used for color mixture. Based on these, a pigment identification system was designed in the form of a flowchart, and its utility was confirmed through site application. Despite some limitations at this stage, the technique can be complemented by considering proper measurement methods or the continuous accumulation of samples and data. If a database on various materials, mixing ratios, painting techniques, and other external interference factors is developed in future research, it would provide the foundation for a faster and safer analysis environment of Dancheong sites.

Lignosus rhinocerus is a macrofungus that belongs to Polyporaceae and is native to tropical regions. This highly priced mushroom has been used as folk medicine to treat diseases by indigenous people. As a preliminary study to develop a culture method for edible mushrooms, the cultural characteristics of L. rhinocerus were investigated in a range of culture media under different environmental conditions. Mycelial growth of this mushroom was compared on culture media composed of various carbon and nitrogen sources in addition to C/N ratios. The optimal conditions for mycelial growth were $30^{\circ}C$ at pH 6 and 7. Rapid mycelial growth of L. rhinocerus was observed on glucose-peptone and yeast extract peptone dextrose media. Carbon and nitrogen sources promoting mycelial growth of L. rhinocerus were glucose and potassium nitrate, respectively. The optimum C/N ratio was approximately 10 : 1 using 2% glucose supplemented as a carbon source in the basal media.

Lowland and upland rice were grown concurrently under the both lowland and upland conditions. Yield and its components such as one liter weight, 1, 000 grain weight, number of grain per panicle and number of panicle per hill were compared between varieties and between cultural conditions. Variations of rice quality were also observed about amylose content, alkali digestion value and protein content between varieties and cultural conditions. Most of lowland varieties showed high growing vigour and yielding ability in lowland culture, and they also showed high variations between the lowland and upland cultures compared to upland variety. Upland varieties were revealed higher adaptability in productivity to the lowland condition than upland condition.

We established an efficient plant regeneration system for Catharanthus roseus L. (G.) Don through somatic embryogenesis. Embryogenic callus was induced from hypocotyl of seed germinated in vitro. Somatic embryogenesis in Catharanthus has been categorized into three distinct stages: (1) initiation and proliferation of embryo; (2) maturation, and; (3) germination or plantlet conversion. Beside plant growth regulators, various stages of embryogenesis were screened for their response to a wide variety of factors (pH, gelrite, light, sugar alcohols, polyethyleneglycol and amino acids), which affect embryogenesis. All of the tested factors had a small to marked influence on embryogeny and eventual conversion to plantlets. The plantlets were acclimatized successfully in a greenhouse. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing a detailed study of various cultural factors which regulate embryogenesis in C. roseus. The results discussed in this paper may be used in mass propagation to produce medicinal raw material, and the embryo precursor cells could be used in genetic modification programmes that aim to improve the alkaloid yield as well.

The constancy of the patterns of esterase isozymes in the mycelium of Pyricularia oryzae grown under various cultural conditions was observed by $10\~25\%$ polycrylamide gradient slab gel. The position of the isozyme was not affected by cultural age for 24 days. However the intensity of the band was affected. The band patterns were not affected by the carbon sources (glucose, maltose, fructose, sucrose or starch), single spore isolates, successive transfer culture and regenerated isolates from protoplast cultures.

Cultural conditions of Lactococcus sp. 1112-1, a bacteriocin producing strain, were studied for enhancing its production with regard to environmental and nutritional factors. Optimal compositions of culture medium for bacteriocin production were glucose 20 g/l as carbon source, casein acid hydrolyzate 15 g/l as nitrogen source, and sodium acetate 3 g/l, ammonium citrate 2 g/l as morganic salt with other basal components. The optimal pH of medium and fermentation temperature were 6.2 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. This strain required exclusively riboflavin and pantothenic acid for growth and bacteriocin production. In a 1l batch culture, stationary phase emerged after 8.5 hours of fermentation when 1.81 g/l of biomass was accumulated. The maximum antimicrobial activity was 3,894 IU/ml after 12 hours.

Optimum conditions for benzene synthesis and liquid scintillation counting have been studied for the determination of radiocarbon age. In benzene synthesis the carbon dioxide converted to benzene with high efficiency of 91%. Yields of each step with 10L of carbon dioxide were $CO_2$ $\rightarrow$$C_2H_2$(94%), $C_2H_2$$\rightarrow$$C_6H_6$(96%) and$CO_2$$\rightarrow$$C_6H_6$(91%), respectively. Benzene synthesized from oxalate was measured with purity of 95% by GC /MS. $\delta^13$(C$^13$C/$^12$C) of oxalate was measured to $-24.7\{textperthousand}$ by massspectrometer. For liquid scintillation counting of benzene sample low background and highest FOM were measured in 0.5 ml cocktail and 3 ml standard solution with the range of 15.4∼74.9 KeV window setting. Oxalate and background samples weremeasured to $28.7\pm0.12$cpm and $3.92\pm0.04$ cpm in 15.4∼74.9 KeV

The celadon jar with inscription of 'the Fourth Sunhwa Year' is an important chronology that shows the conditions of production of the early celadon due to the inscription on the bottom including its purpose, application, and the producer. This celadon jar has been restored several times in the past. However, concerns over the structural stability, such as the separation and level differences in the joined cracks, have risen because of the aging of the repair materials, which were subjected to various environmental changes over a long time. By examining the conditions of preservation, the major damage was identified as the '入' shaped crack on the front, the 'V' shaped restored part and the crack on its left side, and the 'J' shaped crack on the back side. In the past, the cracks were found to be joined using a refined lacquer containing camphor, drying oil, rosin, etc. mixed with soil powder. The joint line was repainted with the refined lacquer and covered with gold powder. The missing parts were restored with gypsum and colored with acrylic color. After that, the repair materials were aged and emergency treatment was performed at the National Museum of Korea in 1981. At that time, Cemedine C or Cemedine C mixed with microballoons was used for reinforcing the cracks. Conservation treatment focused on removing the past repair materials and reinforcing the physically fragile parts by joining and restoring them based on the examination of the preservation condition. in addition, the area around the restored part was colored for future exhibition.
