  • This study was carried out to investigate the mineral content of the feces of the $5^th$ instar larvae in a few silkworm species such as a parent domestic silkworm (Jam134), a hybrid (Kumok-jam), the Japanese oak silkworm, and the Chinese oak silkworm. The major minerals of all silkworms throughout all $5^th$ instar larval period are K, P, Mg and Ca, and the result is consistent with the previous study of the mineral content in the mulberry leaves. Although the calcium content decreased sharply at $7^th$ day of the $5^th$ instar, the crude protein content significantly increased at the same age in both domestic silkworms, suggesting a direct relationship between feeding behavior of the silkworms at the larval period and mineral/protein contents. However, this trend was not observed in both oak silkworms. In the comparison of the mineral content among silkworm species, two domestic silkworms were significantly higher in the calcium content compared with two oak silkworms, and the hybrid Kumok-jam was further higher significantly than the feces of parental Jam 143. Excluding the calcium content, overall no significant content variation in other minerals was observed among four silkworm species studied in this study.

  • We have cloned and characterized the complete fibroin light chain gene from the silkworm Baekok-Jam, Bombyx mori, a recommended variety in Korea. It consists of seven exons and six introns. It consists of 14,663 nucleotides long with an open reading frame of 786 nucleotides that encodes a protein of 262 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of approximately 26,000 dalton. The amino acid alignment revealed that the Baekok-Jam fibroin light chain had 98.5 % protein sequence identity to J139 strain: differed at four amino acid positions (11, 46, 80 and 123). The Northern hybridization analysis showed that the Baekok-Jam fibroin light chain gene was specifically expressed in the posterior silk gland.

  • The persimmon puree was hydrolyzed with commercial polysaccharide hydrolyzing enzymes, Viscozyme and Celluclast and jam was prepared with the enzyme treated persimmon juice by addition of pectin. The textural characteristics of the jam were studied for the effects of pectin addition and storage temperature. When the persimmon jam was prepared with the enzyme treated juice with addition of pectin(2.2∼3.0%), the hardness of the go] was stabilized at the addition level of more than 2.8% as measured by %sag. The hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and gumminess were also significantly increased as the amount of pectin addition increased, whereas the cohesiveness and elasticity did not change significantly. The gel prepared with the puree hydrolyzed with Celluclast generally showed higher hardness, gumminess and adhesiveness and less cohesiveness and elasticity than those treated with Viscozyme. Higher temperature (17$^{\circ}C$) caused a significant decrease in most of the textural properties except elasticity. Results of sensory test showed the orange colors was much improved by the Celluclast treatment, while other characteristics such as total acceptability and texture were not significantly different.

  • The molecular relationships have analyzed between the Bombyx mandarina(wild silkworm) and Bombyx mori strains (domesticated silkworm, geographical silkworms). A total of 166 polymorphic RAPD markers amplified from 35 different primers were used to analyze the molecular relationships among thirteen silkworm strains. The genetic similarity coefficient between Bombyx mandarina and Jam305 showed the lowest genetic similarity value with 0.451, Bombyx mandarina and Bibaekjam showed the highest genetic similarity value with 0.958. These strains were classified into Bombyx mandarina(a wild silkworm) and Bombyx mori(twelve domesticated silkworm) groups upon the genetic similary coefficient of 0.55. Further classificient of 0.60; the 1st sub-group (J111, Bibaekjam, $pnd^{ps}$), the 2nd sub-group (Galwon, C18, od yujam, JAM306, C108), the 3rd sub-group(R-hwang, p50), the 4th sub-group(zebra) and the 5th sub-group(JAM305). According to this study, RAPD markers seems to be a valuable tool for molecular relationships and classification among the silkworms.

  • In this study, the two-dimensional flow model, Nays2DH, and driftwood dynamics model were combined to analyze the flow and driftwood behavior depending on the characteristics of the inflow of driftwood and the length of the driftwood stem. In particular, the Dashpot-spring model was added to the driftwood dynamics model to simulate the collision motion of the driftwood, and the wood jam characteristics by the collision of the driftwood were compared. As a result of the simulation, the pass rate of the obstacle section, the travel distance of wood jam, and the mean position of the wood pieces were respondent sensitively by the length of the driftwood stem, but the cohort size of the driftwood supply was insignificant excepting for the pass rate. Through this study, we could understand the interaction between hydraulic structures and driftwood, and through this, it is believed that it will be helpful in establishing a durable maintenance plan for hydraulic structures by predicting the transport and jam formation phenomena of driftwood in advance.

  • White-Jade silkworm (previously also known as Baegokjam) variety is the most popular silkworm variety that produces white cocoons. In 2021, the market share of White-Jade variety in Korea is very high, accounting for 88% of the silkworm production. Daebaekjam, Dodamsilkworm, Kumkangjam, and Kumokjam varieties, which have recently been established, make white cocoons like White-Jade. In this study, we found that 5 types of HongJams produced from 5 varieties of silkworms producing white cocoons did not show any severe difference in proximate analysis. The amounts of crude proteins, the most abundant nutrient, were between 71.05 ~ 73.38%, and those of crude lipids were 13.89 ~ 14.69% in 5 types of HongJams. In addition, there was no difference between White-Jade HongJam (WJ) and Daebaekjam HongJam in amino acid compositions. The amount of unsaturated fatty acid was significantly higher in WJ than in the other four types of HongJams, but the omega-6 fatty acids/omega-3 fatty acids ratio was higher in the four types of HongJams. Most of the minerals were higher in four types of HongJams than in WJ, and three heavy metal were not detected in all 5 types of HongJams. Phytochemicals were also most abundant in WJ, but the difference in the amounts were not severe. And pepsin digestibility was the highest for Kumokjam HongJam and the lowest for Dodam-silkworm HongJam, but the difference was not severe. The nutritional component analysis results of this study suggested that four new varieties can be used for producing HongJams, and Daebaekjam can replace White-Jade the most as the protein source.

  • This paper is aimed that preparing to make good plan for great city ports, like Gwangyang port which is growing rapidly in Asia as a hub port. But I am worrying about the capacity of Gwangyang bay area to serve very great mission for the future, continuously. I hope that we are able to make good circumstances for our great ports. In this Gwangyang bay, we can realize that we may have some solutions for the traffic jam, because of the finite bay area. So I analyzed the rate of traffic jam that was derived from so many great ships to come and use the Gwangyang bay area. As a result, in recent year, 2005, 2006, ratio was growing rapidly, so we need so we need good works for this region.

  • In this letter, the null steering of a circular array is presented using a modified array factor (AF) for a global positioning system (GPS) anti-jam. The seven radiating elements were designed using a mu-zero resonance (MZR) circularly polarized (CP) antenna arranged toward the center. Since the radiating elements, which are arranged toward the center, have a CP characteristic, the AF of the seven radiating elements has to be modified considering the rotation angle of the nth radiating element. The phases of input ports can be calculated to implement a nulling of radiation patterns where the modified AF is zero. To verify the modified AF for null steering in the desired direction, two cases of power dividers operating in $L_2$ band (1.2276 GHz) were fabricated to achieve pattern nulling at a certain angle. The modified AF can be confirmed by a comparing the simulated and measured radiation patterns.
