This study was carried out to investigate the pulping and papermaking characteristics of lotus (Nelumbo nucifera G.) leafstalk for the development of high performance paper. Anatomical and chemical properties of the lotus leafstalk were analyzed. The pulping and papermaking properties of the lotus leafstalk by conventional alkali and sulfomethylated pulping processes were also evaluated. The length and width of fibers were 0.06-3.32 mm (av. 1.23 mm) and 3.47-25.6 ${\mu}m$ (av. 20.7 ${\mu}m$), respectively. The length and width of vessel elements were 0.07-0.78 mm (av. 0.20 mm) and 14.1-330.0 ${\mu}m$ (av. 54.13 ${\mu}m$), respectively. The fiber length/fiber width ratio was 60.20. The extractives (cold water, hot water, 1% NaOH and ethanol-benzene) and lignin content of lotus leafstalk were higher than those of plant bast fiber. The contents of holocellulose, lignin, and ash were 73.8%, 24.3%, and 4.3%, respectively. The pulp yields based on pulping methods were sulfomethylated pulping av. 52%, and alkaline pulping av. 42%. The conventional alkaline pulping shows better pulp and sheet properties than the sulfomethylated pulping which was modified pulping processes. But the sulfomethylated pulping shows higher brightness than alkali pulping. In the consequence of FE-SEM observation, lotus leafstalk pulp consists of various kinds of thin walled fibers which have large amount of small pits.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes of the residual amount in the leafstalk (end) and the fore-end (upper) portion of lettuce leaves during cultivation period to 14 days, 12 times in total (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13 and 14 days) after spraying with boscalid and lufenuron. In the case of boscalid, the initial concentrations at 3 hours (0 day) of the leafstalk and the fore-end portion of lettuce leaves were 18.26 mg/kg and 84.97 mg/kg, respectively and the residual amounts were rapidly decreased to 0.31 mg/kg and 0.37 mg/kg at 14 days after chemical application. In the case of lufenuron, the initial concentrations at 3 hours (0 day) of the leafstalk and the fore-end portion of lettuce leaves were 0.91 mg/kg and 5.21 mg/kg, respectively and the residual amounts were rapidly decreased to 0.06 mg/kg and 0.09 mg/kg at 13 days after chemical application. The variations of the residual concentrations analyzing 12 times after spraying showed that the residual amounts of the leafstalk portion of lettuce leaves were less than its fore-end portion in boscalid and lufenuron. In additon, 9 kinds of pesticide including boscalid in 16 lettuce leaf (found to contain pesticide in 2013) showed that the residual amounts of the leafstalk portion of lettuce leaves were less than its fore-end portion as well.

For the purpose of developing new anti-HIV agents from natural sources, the extracts of Kalopanax pictus were tested for their inhibitory effects on HIV-1 replication and its essential enzymes as the reverse transcriptase (RT). protease and α-glucosidase. In the assay of HIV-1-infected human T-cell line, water extracts of stem and leafstalk inhibited the HIV-1-induced cytopathic effects with Ie (inhibitory concentration) of 25 and 50㎍/㎖, respectively. Moreover water extracts (100㎍/㎖) of stem and leafstalk showed strong activity of 80% and 90% on anti-HIV-1 RT using Enzyme Linked Oligonucleotide Sorbent Assay (ELOSA) method. In the HIV-1 protease inhibition assay, aqueous stem extract inhibited the activity of the enzyme to cleave an oligopeptide, resembling one of the cleavage sites in the viral polyprotein which can only be processed by HIV-1 protease with 58%, but no glucosidase inhibitory activities. We found out this result, for these samples it is possible that the inhibition of the viral replication in vitro is due to the inhibition at least one of RT and protease. It would be of great interest to identify the compounds which are responsible for this inhibition, since all therapeutically useful agent up to date are RT, PR and α-glucosidase inhibitors.

Objectives : The characteristics of the Liver diagram in the Donguibogam were analyzed. Methods : The Liver diagram in the Donguibogam was compared with diagrams originating from the Mingtangzangfutu(明堂臟腑圖), diagram from before the Northern Song period, Liver diagrams from Daoist texts, etc., after which its characteristics were examined in relation to quoted texts within the Donguibogam. Results : The Liver diagram of the Donguibogam is very different from that of the Mingtangzangfutu(明堂臟腑圖) or Daoist texts in that the leaf veins and leafstalk have not been depicted. The diagram in the Donguibogam depicts the liver as having seven lobes and one body instead of eight lobes. The Donguibogam diagram does not originate from the Mingtangzangfutu(明堂臟腑圖) nor is it an imitation of Daoist texts. It seems to be a visual realization based on descriptions from quoted texts such as the Nanjing, Yixuerumen, and Suwen annotations by Wangbing. Conclusions : The Liver with seven lobes and one body as depicted in the Donguibogamis likely a transformed version based on textual descriptions rather than an imitation of the Mingtangzangfutu(明堂臟腑圖) of images in Daoist texts.

In this study, the distribution of Cantao ocellatus in Korea occurred at Jindo, Tongyoung, Gwangju and Taean including Jejudo in 2012 and was coincidentally in accordance with the distribution of Mallotus japonicus as a host plant. The adult emerges in M. japonicus occur from late June to early July and can be observed until the end of October. The investigation of the female and male was measured, developmental characteristics, host plant and oviposition preference under the conditions of temperature $25^{\circ}C({\pm}2)$, humidity 65%(${\pm}2$), day length 16L:8D, by indoor breeding. For females and males respectively, average body lengths were 26.20 mm and 23.88 mm, body widths 11.35 mm and 10.57 mm, head widths 3.84 mm and 3.64 mm, probosics lengths 7.90 mm and 7.27 mm, antennal lengths 9.87 mm and 9.69 mm, anterior leg lengths 12.50 mm and 12.27 mm, intermediate leg lengths 14.61 mm and 13.12 mm, posterior leg lengths 16.90 mm and 16.53 mm, and fresh weights 0.46 g and 0.31 g. It was seen that two kinds of C. ocellatus had prickles at the end of the pronotum which had developed in the fifth instars. The female is distinguished from the male by the reproductive organ and the spotted pattern on the abdominal segment. The preference of drinks was fruit, leafstalk, midrib, and branch in Mallotus japonicus (Thunb.) Muell. Arg., Mallotus japonicus 'Variegatus', Ricinus communis L., Lonicera japonicus var. repens (Siebold) Rehder, Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck and Zelkova serrata (Thunb.) Makino.

The objective of this study was to examine the growth reaction of strawberry plants to the mixed red and blue LED sources and their installation method. The artificial light sources were : LED PAR(PPFD $2{\sim}4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$), LED BAR(PPFD $100{\sim}120{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) and incandescent(PPFD $2{\sim}4{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) lamp. The lighting treatment was started at the first cluster flowering period as a night breaking lighting and was applied during 3 hours, between 22:00 and 01:00 every day. Plant height and leafstalk length were longer in plants treated with incandescent lamp, where as fresh and dry weight of shoot were heavier in LED PAR compared to incandescent lamp treatment. LED PAR treatment also resulted in the largest leaf area, chlorophyll content was increased by $0.36mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ after 60 days from the starting of the artificial lighting. According to the experimental results application of 16W LED PAR lamps and W-type installation method can improve light environment in strawberry lighting culture.

The populations of Polyphagostarsonemus latus (Acari: Tarsonemidae) have been causing serious economic damages to farmers by directly feeding on leaves of green perilla. However, sampling of P. latus is impossible because there is no suitable sample unit until now. Thus, this study was conducted to suggest suitable sample unit and required sample number for P. latus on green perilla. Individuals of P. latus started to occurr from the leafstalk within a leaf. They required approximated 25 days to spread to all areas within a leaf. New shoots would be a suitable sample unit for P. latus on green perilla because its density on shoots per ㎠ was always higher than the densities on fully grown and moderately grown leaves. Required sample number at D = 0.25 was estimated as a shoot when eggs, nymphs, and adults of P. latus were observed within a leaf. Therefore, Using this small sample unit for sampling of P. latus on green perilla could be economical and efficient.
