  • 고속도로 및 편의시설 건설로 불투수층의 면적이 증가하여 강우 시 고속도로 및 편의시설에서 발생하는 오염원에 의한 하천의 수질 영향도 커지고 있다. 특히 휴게소에서는 자동차의 급가속, 급감속으로 더욱 많은 분진과 오염물질이 발생할 수 있으며 타이어 마모 입자, 자동차 배기가스, 중금속 및 오일류 등이 휴게소나 도로 지표에 집적되어 있다. 이렇게 발생한 오염물질은 우기에 강우와 함께 불투수면을 침투하지 못하고 배수로를 통해 유출되어 인근 하천의 수생태 및 토양의 주요 오염원으로 작용하고 있다. 이에 따라 고속도로 및 인근 휴게소의 비점오염 저감대책이 필요하며 효율적인 비점오염원 저감을 위해 장기적인 모니터링, 지속적인 자료 수집 및 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강원지역 고속도로 및 인근 휴게소에서 강우 시 강우유출수 모니터링을 통해 강우유출수 유량가중평균농도 (Event Mean Concentration) 산정하고 강우유출수 수문곡선 (hydrograph)을 작성하였다. 또한 강우사상에 따른 분석항목별 초기세척효과(First Flush Effects)와 오염부하량을 산정하였다. 추가적으로 차량 기인 입자를 확인하기 위해 μ-FT-IR 현미경 분석 실험을 하였다. 모니터링 장소는 휴게소 및 고속도로 일원이며, 모니터링은 선행무강우일수 2일 이상, 강우량 10mm 이상일 때 실시하였으며 2022년 6월부터 10월까지 총 4회 실시하였다. 모니터링 결과 타이어 및 브레이크 패드 마모와 관련된 중금속인 Zn, Cu, Pb 등의 중금속이 높게 분석되었으며 이러한 중금속의 오염부하량 역시 높게 산정되었다. 강우유출수 수문곡선에서 강우 초기 오염물질의 세척효과가 나타났다. MFFn 산정 결과 강우 30% 구간에서 초기세척효과를 보였다. μ-FT-IR 현미경 분석 결과 PE (Polyethylene)가 가장 많이 검출되었고 PP (Polypropylene), PS (Polystyrene) 순으로 검출되었다. 이러한 강우유출수 모니터링 데이터는 향후 고속도로 휴게소 및 고속도로 주변 오염저감 시설 설치 및 사회적 동참을 위한 타당한 근거 확보를 위한 기초자료로서 제공될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Shading with silver-coated strips in combination with water spraying over the roof was more effective than others in lowering air-temperatures while the soil temperatures were more efficiently lowered by the silver-coated PE film in combination with water-flowing treatment on the soil surface. Significantly better growth and higher yield of spinach were recorded in the plots having lower soil termperatures. Whitewash spray with lime mixture resulted in higher yield of spinach as compared to the white water-soluble painting, possibly because of the better light penetration toward the end of the growing season by the natural weather off phenomenon.

  • Yield and ginsenoside contents of ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) is affected by light intensity and quality, and the color and the thickness of PE shading net when PE net is utilized for shading material. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of light quality on root yield and ginsenoside contents off-year-old ginseng by using polyethylene shading net with each blue and yellow color, Spectral irradiance under blue and yellow shading net showed the peak at 498 nm and 606 nm, respectively, which made distinct difference in light quality. Heat injury ratio of blue shading net was increased distinctly more than that of yellow shading net in summer season because of higher transmitted quantum (23%)and air temperature (0.3 $^{\circ}$C) in blue shading net than those of yellow shading net. Chlorophyll content and leaf area under yellow shading net were higher than those of blue shading net, and its heat injury ratio was lower than those of blue. These effects may led to 48% higher increase of root yield under yellow shading net than that under blue shading net. The content of total ginsenoside in taproot was not significantly differed between blue and yellow shading net, while the content in lateral and fine root was significantly increased in blue shading net compared to yellow shading net. PDM ratio of blue shading net showed more significant increase in lateral root than that of yellow shading net. All of Rb$_1$/Rg$_1$ ratio in three parts of root under blue shading net was higher than that of yellow shading net, but there were no significant increase in the ratio of lateral root.

  • The blue-light effect on the grown as well as on the physiological activity of some major horticultural plants in Korea has been investigated. The light quality used for the work was obtained from sunlight filtered by an orangecolored polyethylene film which removed about 70% of visible light in the spectral region of $350㎚{\sim}500㎚$. The film was developed in this laboratory especially for the work and named BCR film meaning blue color-removing film. The light environment in the plastic house which was built with BCR film provided plants with the blue color-deficient sunlight. Thus, the photobiological effect of blue light could be examined conversely by comparing with the effect of white sunlight in a conventional plastic house built with colorless polyethylene film. In a sense of applicability to horticulture, two remarkable effects of the blue color-deficient sunlight on plant physiology were observed: First, it enhanced to a great extent the growth activity of plants-pepper, cucumber, zucchini, tomato, and leaf lettuce at the vegetative stage as well as at the reproductive stage, as demonstrated by their yield which were in average $40{\sim}50%$ increased compared with the control (under white sunlight). Second, it improved significantly the cold tolerance of plants, as exhibited with their resistance to chilling during treatment in a cold chamber maintained at a temperature which caused chilling injury to the plants of control. The visualized effects were reflected on the physiological activity of cells on organelle level. Chloroplast isolated from the plant leaves grown under BCR film showed considerably stronger photosynthetic activity, as judged by the increased electron transport rate of illuminated chloroplast, than that from leaves grown under white PE film. Mitochondria from leaves grown under BCR film maintained normal respiration activity until temperature decreased to a few degree($^{\circ}C$) lower than the temperature which caused respiratory inhibition to mitochondria obtained from leaves of the control.

  • To select optimal shade material in paddy soil, growth characteristics and ginsenoside contents were investigated in new cultivar, 'Cheonpoong' of three-year-old ginseng cultured under three kinds of shade materials such as three-layered blue and one-layered black PE (polyethylene) net (TBPN), blue PE sheet (BPSS), and aluminium-coated PE sheet (APSS). The order of light transmission ratio and air temperature by shade materials were BPSS > APSS > TBSB among three shade materials. Average soil water tension in PDC and IDC was 64 mbar (absolute soil moisture, 25%) and 123 mbar (absolute soil moisture, 17%), respectively, and soil water tension in IDC was changed more distinctly than that of PDC by season and shade materials. Yield in PDC was distinctly decreased more than that in IDC because of the increase of discolored-leaf and rusted-root ratio. BPSS and TBPN among three shade materials were the most effective on the increase of yield in PDC and IDC, respectively. Ratio of rusty-colored root showed not significant difference by drainage class and shade materials. Contents of panaxatriol ginsenoside (Rg1, Re and Rf) were decreased in PDC, while it of panaxadiol ginsenoside (Rb1, Rc and Rd) were increased in IDC. Total ginsenoside contents of IDC was distinctly higher than that of PDC, and BPSS showed the highest contents among three shade materials regardless of poorly and imperfectly drainage class.

  • The storage quality of ready-to-eat Campbell table grapes which were packaged under modified atmospheres was investigated in order to examine the effect of high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ on the fruit. Fresh table grapes with 10-15 berries were packed into polypropylene (PP) trays and were top-sealed with polythylene terephthalate/PP film. The initial gas compositions inside the packages were air, 20% $O_2$/10% $CO_2$/70% $N_2$, and 40% $O_2$/60% $N_2$. Sealed packages with low density polyethylene film bags and perforated PP trays were also used as a further treatment and control, respectively. The quality attributes were assessed during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. Fruit packaged in high $CO_2$ concentration showed the lowest viable cell counts of inherent microorganisms among all samples, although they suffered from severe off-flavors. High levels of $O_2$ significantly lowered flesh weight loss and maintained the flavor of grape. In an overall sensory aspect, the high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ packages exhibited greater scores than the air and control at the end of the storage period. Other quality attributes showed no significant differences among treatments. Results suggest that packaging with an appropriate combination of high $O_2$ and $CO_2$ can be used as an effective processing treatment for improvement of the storability of ready-to-eat table grapes.

  • To analyze human thermal environments in protected horticultural houses (plastic houses), human thermal sensations estimated using measured microclimatic data (air temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar and terrestrial radiation) were compared between an outdoor area and two indoor plastic houses, a polyethylene (PE) house and a polycarbonate (PC) house. Measurements were carried out during the daytime in autumn, a transient season that exhibits human thermal environments ranging from neutral to very hot. The mean air temperature and absolute humidity of the houses were $14.6-16.8^{\circ}C$ (max. 22. $3^{\circ}C$) and $7.0-12.0g{\cdot}m^{-3}$ higher than those of the outdoor area, respectively. Solar (K) and terrestrial (L) radiation were compared directionally from the sky hemisphere (${\downarrow}$) and the ground hemisphere (${\uparrow}$). The mean $K{\downarrow}$ and $K{\uparrow}$ values for the houses were respectively $232.5-367.8W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and $44.9-55.7W;{\cdot}m^{-2}$ lower than those in the outdoor area; the mean $L{\downarrow}$ and $L{\uparrow}$ values were respectively $150.4-182.3W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ and $30.5-33.9W{\cdot}m^{-2}$ higher than those in the outdoor area. Thus, L was revealed to be more influential on the greenhouse effect in the houses than K. Consequently, mean radiant temperature in the houses was higher than the outdoor area during the daytime from 10:45 to 14:15. As a result, mean human thermal sensation values in the PMV, PET, and UTCI of the houses were respectively $3.2-3.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $4.7^{\circ}C$), $15.2-16.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $23.7^{\circ}C$) and $13.6-15.4^{\circ}C$ (max. $22.3^{\circ}C$) higher than those in the outdoor area. The heat stress levels that were influenced by human thermal sensation were much higher in the houses (between hot and very hot) than in the outdoor (between neutral and warm). Further, the microclimatic component that most affected the human thermal sensation in the houses was air temperature that was primarily influenced by $L{\downarrow}$. Therefore, workers in the plastic houses could experience strong heat stresses, equal to hot or higher, when air temperature rose over $22^{\circ}C$ on clear autumn days.

  • This study was conducted to improve light environment of oriental melon cultivation in winter season. Three polyolefin foreign films (J-1, J-2, J-3) and three polyethylene domestic films (K-1, K-2, K-3) with different film thickness, ultraviolet ray interception and infrared ray absorption were used. As the result of this experiment, soluble solid of oriental melon fruit in K-3 was $14.3^{\circ}Brix$, those in J-3 and J-2 were higher by 1.3 and $0.8^{\circ}Brix$, respectively. Chromaticity (a value) of pericarp in K-3 was 0.5, those in J-3, J-1 and J-2 were higher by 3.3, 2.3 and 1.9, respectively. Especially, fermented and malformed fruit rates in J-1, J-2 and J-3 were decreased and marketable fruit rates were increased. Marketable yield in K-3 was 1,622 kg per 10a, those in J-1, J-3 and J-2 were increased by 31.2%, 23.8% and 18.5% compare to K-3, respectively. In this study, Polyolefin films (J-1, J-2, J-3) with thickness and infrared ray absorption ratio keeping higher heat conservation, therefore, soluble solid and chromaticity of fruit were increased, fermented fruit rate was decreased, and marketable fruit rate and yield were increased.

  • This paper was to analyze the membrane characterization of hydrophilicity, surface morphology and membrane chemical anlysis of three commercial microfiltration/ultrafiltration membranes, and evaluate the filtration performance of a seawater to assess the availability for pretreatment of desalination process. From the results of contact angle, Mem-3, fabricated with polyacrylonitrile, was highly hydrophilic. It find out that Mem-3 has more anti-biofouling property. In Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Mem-1 (polyethylene) and Mem-2 (Polyvinylidenefluoride) showed the sponge-like shape and Mem-3 showed finger-like shape. Membrane chemical analysis by energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) presented that Mem-2 was mostly fluoride and Mem-3 had s high ratio of N (32.47%) due to the nitrile group. The permeation flowrate per time on suction pressures using deionized water (D.I. water) tends that permeation rate of Mem-3 more increased when the pressure was increased compared to other membranes. From the results of turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) removal, turbidity of permeate was 0.191 NTU to 0.406 NTU and TSS was 2.2 mg/L to 3.0 mg/L in all membranes, indicating that it was not suitable for the pretreatment of seawater desalination by short-term experiments.

  • We have prepared the dinuclear half-sandwich CGC(constrained geometry catalyst) with polymethylene bridge $[Zr(({\eta}^5\;:\;{\eta}^1-C_9H_5SiMe_2NCMe_3)Me_2)_2\;[(CH_2)_n]$ [n=6(4), 9(5), 12(6)] by treating 2 equivalents of MeLi with the corresponding dichlorides compounds. To study the catalytic behavior of the dinuclear catalysts we conducted copolymerization of ethylene and 1-hexene in the presence of three kinds of boron cocatalysts, $Ph_3C^+[B(C_6F_5)_4]^-\;(B_1),\;B(C_6F_5)_3\;(B_3)$, and $Ph_3C^+[(C_6F_5)_3B-C_6F_4-B(C_6F_5)_3]^{2-}\;(B_2)$. It turned out that all active species formed by the combination of three dinuclear CGCs with three cocatalyst were very efficient catalysts for the polymerization of olefins. The activities increase as the bridge length of the dinuclear CGCs increases. At the same time the dinuclear cocatalyst exhibited the lowest activity among three cocatalysts. The prime observation is that the dinuclear cocatalyst gave rise to the formation of the copolymers with the least branches on the polyethylene backbone.
