토목섬유 자체의 투수성을 이용한 토목섬유 필터는 자연골재의 부족과 탁월한 시공성 때문에 토목섬유의 주된 적용분야로 자리 잡고 있으며, 주요적용 토목섬유는 지오텍스타일과 다양한 형태의 복합포가 있다. 지오텍스타일의 필터 및 배수기능을 이용한 최신의 적용공법 중 지오텍스타일 튜브공법이 있다. 지오텍스타일 튜브공법은 기존의 자연암석재료와 콘크리트 구조물로 제작되어지던 하천 및 해안구조물을 경제적이고 효율적으로 대체할 수 있는 공법으로 그 적용범위가 광범위하게 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 지오텍스타일 튜브공법에 사용되는 지오텍스타일은 폴리머 재질에 따라 크게 폴리프로필렌과 폴리에스터 재질의 지오텍스타일로 구분할 수 있으며, 직조방법에 따라 필터 및 배수특성과 강도특성 등 다양한 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 유사한 인장강도와 유효입경(AOS)의 직포형 지오텍스타일에 대하여 재질에 따른 장기적 필터성능 및 튜브공법 적용성 분석을 실시하였다. 연구실험은 가압셀 장치를 이용한 실내 장기필터성능시험과 실대형 현장시험을 수행하였다. 각각의 실험결과에 따르면 폴리프로필렌 재질의 지오텍스타일이 장기 필터 및 배수기능이 우수하며, 튜브공법의 적용성이 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Decomposition of plant material is an important component in the study of forest ecosystem because of its critical role in nutrient cycling. Different tree species has different nutrient release patterns, which are related to leaf litter quantitative traits and seasonal environmental factors. The quantitative traits of leaf litter are important predictors of decomposition and decomposition rates increase with greater nutrient availability in the forest ecosystems. At the ecosystem level, litter quantitative traits are most often related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the litter, for example, leaf toughness and leaf mass per unit area, and lignin content tannin and total phenolics. Thus, the analysis of litter quantitative traits and decomposition are highly important for the understanding of nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. By studying the role of litter quantitative traits on decomposition and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems will provide a valuable insight to how quantitative traits influence ecosystem nutrient dynamics. Such knowledge will contribute to future forest management and conservation practices.

It is now widely recognized that the disposal of packaging waste is an increasing environmental concern. Recent interest in polymer waste management of packaging materials has added incentive to the research. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is a readily biodegradable water-soluble polymer. However, this polymer cannot be processed by conventional extrusion technologies because the melting point of PVA is close to its decomposition temperature. Therefore, PVA films have been mostly prepared by solvent casting from water. Applications of PVA include sizing, binders, fibers, and films for agricultural chemicals and hospital laundry bags. A better understanding of PVA films, which also play important roles in the degradation of plastics, will expand the usage of PVA. Composite films based on PVA generally exhibit better mechanical and thermal properties than pure PVA. The aim of this review article is to review types, formation, and properties of PVA films and PVA based composite films used in packaging related researches.

Chemical composition and enzymatic saccharification characteristics of hemp woody core were investigated by their chemical composition analysis and enzymatic saccharification with commercially available cellulases (Celluclast 1.5L and Novozym 342). Hemp woody core have higher xylan and lower lignin contents than its bast fiber. Based on hemicelluloses and lignin composition, hemp woody core is similar with hardwood biomass. However, cellulose was more easily converted to glucose than xylan to xylose and this trend was confirmed both hemp woody core and yellow poplar. Hemp woody core biomass shows higher saccharification than yellow poplar (hardwood biomass) based on cellulose and xylan hydrolysis. With easier enzymatic saccharification in cellulose and xylan, and similar chemical composition, hemp woody core have better biorefinery feedstock characteristics than hardwood biomass.

BACKGROUND: Yuza seed by-product has been produced in a large amount from the agricultural farms in the southern area of Korea. It has been mostly abandoned after commercial process for the production of juice, jam and tea. The study on the reuse of the yuza seed by-product has received much attention as a bio-resource material for the production of active compound in agriculture. METHODS AND RESULTS: Insecticidal rhamnolipid-producing Pseudomonas sp. EP-3 was grown in mineral salt media with the yuza seed by-product at 2, 20, 50 and 100 g/L. The growth of EP-3 was accompanied by a increase in insecticidal activity against green peach aphid. The highest insecticidal activity was observed when EP-3 was grown in the medium containing 50 g/L of the seed sample, producing approximately 996 mg/L of rhamnolipid at 96 h. Palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid were determined as the major fatty acids of the seed sample. The EP-3 cultures grown on the fatty acid mixture extracted from the seed sample showed a aphid mortality similar to that of cultures grown on the seed sample. The EP-3 cultures grown on 50 g/L of the seed sample showed aphid mortality more than 90% under greenhouse conditions. CONCLUSION: This study suggested that the yuza seed by-product may be used as a renewable material for microbial production of rhamnolipid against green peach aphid.

BACKGROUND: Among the biomass conversion techniques of livestock manure, composting process is a method of decomposing organic matter through microorganisms, and converting it into fertilizer in soil. The aerobic composting process is capable of treating cow manure in large quantities, and produces greenhouse gas as CO₂ and N₂O, although it has economical benefit. By using the activated rice hull biochar, which is a porous material, it was intended to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions, and to produce the compost of which quality was high. Objective of this experiment was to estimate CO₂ and N₂O emissions through composting process of cow manure with different cooperated biochar contents. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatments of activated rice hull biochar were set at 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%, respectively, during composting cow manure. The CO₂ emission in the control was 534.7 L kg^-1, but was 385.5 L kg^-1 at 15% activated rice hull biochar. Reduction efficiency of CO₂ emission was estimated to be 28%. N₂O emission was 0.28 L kg^-1 in the control, but was 0.03 L min^-1 at 15% of activated rice hull biochar, estimating about 89% reduction efficiency. CONCLUSION: Greenhouse gas emissions during the composting process of cow manure can be reduced by mixing with 15% of activated rice hull biochar for eco-friendly compost production.

Objective: The aim of this study was to find risk factors in cultivating ginseng based on risk assessments and suggest safety measures for main risks. Background: Safety education and training is one of the practical and effective methods to prevent occupational accidents and injuries. In agricultural sector, there are few contents of safety education as compared to other industries. Especially, farm work has different cultivation characteristics according to the crops, so it needs special education materials for each crop. Among the various types of crops, ginseng contains various risk factors due to its long cultivating period and unique environment. Therefore, safety education material specified for ginseng is necessary to improve ginseng farmers' safety. Method: Risk assessment for cultivating tasks of ginseng was carried out through data obtained from various methods (site survey, interview, literature survey). To improve objectivity, the risk assessment was applied with 3-criteria (researcher estimate, interview, previous research results). Finally, the three high-risk tasks were selected and safety measures for those tasks were provided. Results: Three tasks, such as 'Mounting, maintenance and removing supports', 'Pest control' and 'Harvest', were selected as risky tasks among total tasks. (1) In 'Mounting' and maintenance and removing supports', the farmers found to be exposed to the risks of musculoskeletal disorders and accidents related to operating the tablet machine. (2) In 'Pest control', agrichemical poisoning, musculoskeletal disorders and hyperthermia were main risks. Finally, (3) In 'Harvest', the farmers are mainly exposed to the possibility of accidents of agricultural machines and risks of musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, it needs to apply appropriate safety measures to those risky tasks, such as safety guidelines, convenience equipment, protective kit, and so on. Conclusion: This study can be used as basic data for agricultural safety and expected that it would be useful for further study. In addition, the results of the research will be produced in the form of animation, which will enhance the safety consciousness for aged farmers. Application: The result of this study can be used in developing safety education materials for ginseng farmers which is essential to prevent occupational accidents and injuries among ginseng farmers.

볏짚과 보리짚을 효율적으로 퇴비화하기 위하여 이들을 폭쇄처리하여 퇴비화 하였다. 볏짚과 보리짚을 폭쇄 처리하였을 때 유기산의 생성으로 원시료에 비해 pH가 각각 4.0, 3.7로서 낮아졌고, EC도 1.66, 3.19mS/m로 감소하였으며, cellulose, lignin 및 총 탄소 함량은 증가되었다. 퇴적 16주 후에 볏짚이나 볏짚폭쇄물에서는 총질소가 $2{\sim}2.5$%가 더 증가한 것으로 나타났으나, 보리짚은 폭쇄를 하면 1.7%가 증가하지만 폭쇄처리를 하지 않은 시료는 오히려 0.41% 감소하였다. 이런 결과로 보리짚은 퇴비화가 어려운 재료이지만 폭쇄처리를 하면 퇴비화가 용이해짐을 알 수 있다. 볏짚의 C/N비는 퇴비화 초기부터 급격히 감소하였지만, 폭쇄처리를 한 볏짚과 보리짚은 퇴비화 후기에 급격히 감소하였다. 이것은 폭쇄처리로 유기산이 생성되어 초기에는 낮은 pH때문에 미생물이 생육이 어려웠으나, 퇴비화가 진행됨에 따라 안정하게 되어 퇴비화가 더 잘 이루어진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 재료를 폭쇄처리하면 공극량이 증가하는 동시에 유효 표면적이 증가하여 퇴비화 기간을 단축할 수 있으며, 고온, 고압의 수증기에 의해 병원성균 및 잡초 종자가 제거된다. 이는 폭쇄처리에 의해 퇴비화가 효율적으로 진행된다는 것을 시사한다.
