Fallow paddy areas have been increased due to the import of cheap agricultural product, and the unbalance between farming cost and rice price since 1990. The increasing fallow paddy area needs to be protected from the devastation by weed breeding for the re-cultivation. In this study, two fallow paddy fields managed with different water depth were selected for monitoring and analysing of water quality, water balance and plant body change. The managed fallow paddy fields were more effective in water quality purification and plants growth control than non-managed fallow paddy fields. And the fallow paddy field managed with some degree of water depth was the most effective field in terms of weed control.

The flow characteristics in a bifurcated duct are investigated experimentally. Physical properties such as mean velocity vectors, mean vorticity and total pressure distributions are obtained for three different Reynolds numbers(578, 620, 688) using PIV measurements and CFD analysis. Also, dividing duct $90^{\circ}$ were selected for study. The results of this study would be useful to the engineer in designing the flow systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning and wastewater purification plants.

The structure of phytoplankton community was studied for one year round at 6 stations in the Beopsu Marsh, Haman-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea. One hundred seventy-eight taxa (69 taxa belonging to Chlorophyta, 55 taxa to Bacillariophyta, 33 taxa to Cyanophyta, 15 taxa to Euglenophyta, 2 taxa to Rhodophyta, 2 taxa to Dinophyta and 1 taxon to Xanthophyta) were observed. Phytoplankton bloom occurred at the staions 2, 3 and 4 where waters were polluted by sewage and treated water of purification plants from the vicinity. The species diversity index of phytoplankton was the lowest (0.66) in November at the station 3, which the station showed the most eutrophic water due to the diverse pollutants from surroundings of the marsh. For the whole seasons, Fragilaria sp. and Euglena sp. appeared in pollutant water at the station 3, while Cyclotella sp. and Pinnularia sp. inhabited in relatively clean water at the station 5. To reserve the natural treasure, the wetland should be more specially managed by a local governing institution.

Fallow paddy has been increased in disadvantageous farming condition area because of importation of foreign agricultural products, labor cost and the imbalance between farming cost and agricultural products price since 1990. The fallow paddy that has gradually increased needs to be prevented from the devastation by weed breeding for re-cultivation. In this study, two fallow paddies that manage with different water depth from the experimental field were selected for observation, and analysis of water quality, water balance and plant body change. The managed fallow paddy was more effective in water quality purification and plants growth control than non-managed fallow paddy. And the fallow paddy managed with a some degree water depth was the most effective field on weed control.

Squalene synthase (SQS) inhibitors were screened from various plants and food extracts. Effective SQS inhibitor was purified from fermented soybean paste using ethanol extraction, HP-20 column chromatography, ethyl acetate extraction, silica gel column chromatography, and crystallization. Through UV spectrometry, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR, and mass spectrometry, SQS inhibitor was identified as daidzein with molecular mass of 254 and molecular formula of $C_{15}H_{10}O_4$. Daidzein showed $IC_{50}$ value of 50 nmol/L against SQS, confirming its potential as therapeutic agent for hypercholesterolemia.

Seeds or beans of 55 plants belonging to 31 families were screened by using several different types of red blood cells to find new lectins. In this paper, white kidney been (phaseolus vulgaris C.) was chosen to study biochemical properties of hemagglutinating proteins(lectins). An anion exchanger, DEAE Sephadex A-50, and polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis were main techniques used. From three main fractions eluted by stepwise NaCl gradient in 25mM Tris-HCI buffer on DEAE Sephadex column, principal lectin was identified.

To develop a new anti-wrinkle agent from medicinal plants, this study investigated the optimal conditions for extracting elastase inhibitor from Rheum undulatum L. Maximal extraction occurred by using 70% methanol at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hr; the elastase inhibitory activity was 60.4%($IC_{50}:6.7{\times}10^3{\mu}g/m{\ell}$). Systematic solvent extraction, thin layer chromatography, silica gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography were used in the partial purification of the elastase inhibitor. The compound was soluble in dimethylsulfoxide, methanol, and ethanol, and had maximum absorption spectra at 231.5 nm and 275.5 nm.

Protein kinase C, a protein related in PI cascade, was partially purified from the cytosol protein of etiolated plants of Glycine max by DEAE-52 cellulose chromatography and phenylsepharose chromatography. When the DEAE column was eluted with 0-0.8 M linear gradient KCl, tow fractions were found that increased the phosphorylation of histon H1 about five and nine-fold in the presence of 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL phosphatidylserine and 0.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/mL diolein, respectively. These fractions were used as DEAE pool. The reaction eluted with relatively high concentration of KCl was loaded on phyenylsepharose column with 5 mM CaCl2 and eluted with 1 mM EGTA. A fraction contained the protein kinase C, which increased the phosphorylation of the histon H1 was fractionated. To determine the molecular weight of PKC, the fraction eluted from phenylsepharose column was analyzed by 5~15% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after concentrated with the Amicon membrane (YM10). That revealed two bands corresponding to 60 and 65 kGy by silver staining of the gel, respectively.

Puerariae Radix is one of the medicinal plants used in oriental medicine for hangover, It has been claimed for several pharmacological effects including anti-alcohol abuse, antidipsotropic activity and anti-alcohol intoxication. In connection with Puerariae Radix effects, an activity-guided purification of active substance on alcohol dehydrogenase (hnH) was carried-out. The most active compound was isolated as puerarin (C$_{21}$H$_{20}$ O$_{9}$ ), molecular weight 416. Puerarin inhibited ADH noncompetitively against ethanol or NAD$^{+}$./.
