The reductivity of a spherical curve is the minimal number of times a particular local transformation called an inverse-half-twisted splice is required to obtain a reducible spherical curve from the initial spherical curve. It is unknown if there exists a spherical curve whose reductivity is four. In this paper, an unavoidable set of configurations for a spherical curve with reductivity four is given by focusing on 5-gons. It has also been unknown if there exists a reduced spherical curve which has no 2-gons and 3-gons of type A, B and C. This paper gives the answer to this question by constructing such a spherical curve.

A closed solar collector drying system by water exchange was evaluated for the drying of ginseng. The thermal efficiency of solar collector, drying efficiency, drying characteristics and product quality were investigated. The drying period was reduced by one-thirds in comparison with typical method. The maximum and minimum thermal efficiency of the solar collector during drying period were 14.42%, and 4.73%, respectively. The drying efficiency of solar collector and control system showed 28.34%, and 13.45%, respectively; net drying efficiency being 14.8%. The drying rate curve of red ginseng showed only falling rate period, and its equation was $Y=50.7023t.^{-0.4138}$ The brown color intensity of red ginseng was higher in solar collector drying system than in typical method, and reductivity by diphenyl picryl hydrazil solution in red ginseng extract showed similar result to brown color intensity.
