The family of lemnacae colloquially known as duckweed contains the world' smallest species of flowering plants (macrophytes). Aquatic and free-floating, their most striking qualities are a capacity for explosive reproduction and an almost complete lack of fibrous material. They are widely used for reducing chemical loading in facultative sewage lagoons, but their greatest potential lies in their ability to produce large quantities of protein rich biomass, suitable for feeding to a wide range of animals, including fish, poultry and cattle. Despite these qualities there are numerous impediments to these plants being incorporated into western farming systems. Large genetically determined variations in growth in response to nutrients and climate, apparent anti-nutritional factors, concerns about sequestration of heavy metals and possible transference of pathogens raise questions about the safety and usefulness of these plants. A clear understanding of how to address and overcome these impediments needs to be developed before duckweed is widely accepted for nutrient reclamation and as a source of animal feed.

The initial selection of plants is the decisive step in the ultimate success of any landscape planting. This study intended to establish a reasonable selecting criteria of tree in the landscape through the holistic consideration of aesthetic, functional, cultural, operational and ecological viewpoints. The matrices of evaluating the fitness of tree were modulated to 10 categories ; availability from the established nursery. aesthetic value, indigenous to the locality, maintenance, soil fertility requirement, environmental tolerances. growth rate. wild-life food production. use of plants in design and user's likes. This 10 categories were weighted to their fitness as high(10 points), medium(8 points) and low(5points). Thus suitable plants were identified which got 70 more points from total 100 points. Such a method was believed as a rational process to get trust from client. to persuade uneducated client and to be free from designer's prejudice through a case study. But it is important to landscape designer to recognize the relationship between the rationality which prevails throughout the modern technical world and the intuitive aspects of design that are essential for developing creative solutions to encourage creativity as well as analytical responsibility.

Flow-Accelerated Corrosion (FAC) is a well-known degradation mechanism that attacks the secondary piping in nuclear power plants. Since the Surry Unit 2 event in 1986, most nuclear power plants have implemented management programs to deal with damages in carbon and low-alloy steel piping. Despite the utmost efforts, damage induced by FAC still occurs in power plants around the world. In order to predict FAC wear, some computer programs were developed such as CHECWORKS, CICERO, and COMSY. Various data need to be input to these programs; the chemical composition of secondary piping, flow operating conditions and piping geometries. CHECWORKS, developed by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), uses a geometry code to calculate geometry effects. Such a relatively simple geometry code is limited in acquiring the accuracy of FAC prediction. Recently, EPRI revisited the geometry code with the intention of updating it. In this study, numerical simulations were performed for two adjacent $90^{\circ}$ elbows and the results were analysed in terms of the proximity effect between the two adjacent elbows.

Exposure to indoor air pollution is an emerging world-wide problem, with growing evidence that it is a major cause of morbidity worldwide. Whilst most indoor air pollutants are of outdoor origin, these combine with a range of indoor sourced pollutants that may lead to high pollutant levels indoors. The pollutants of greatest concern are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM), both of which are associated with a range of serious health problems. Whilst current buildings usually use ventilation with outdoor air to remove these pollutants, botanical systems are gaining recognition as an effective alternative. Whilst many years research has shown that traditional potted plants and their substrates are capable of removing VOCs effectively, they are inefficient at removing PM, and are limited in their pollutant removal rates by the need for pollutants to diffuse to the active pollutant removal components of these systems. Active botanical biofiltration, using green wall systems combined with mechanical fans to increase pollutant exposure to the plants and substrate, show greatly increased rates of pollutant removal for both VOCs, PM and also carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). A developing body of research indicates that these systems can outperform existing technologies for indoor air pollutant removal, although further research is required before their use will become widespread. Whilst it is known that plant species selection and substrate characteristics can affect the performance of active botanical systems, optimal characteristics are yet to be identified. Once this research has been completed, it is proposed that active botanical biofiltration will provide a cheap and low energy use alternative to mechanical ventilations systems for the maintenance of indoor environmental quality.

Viruses in garlic plants (Allium sativum L.) have accumulated and evolved over generations, resulting in serious consequences for the garlic trade around the world. These viral epidemics are also known to be caused by aphids and eriophyid mites (Aceria tulipae) carrying Potyviruses, Carlaviruses, and Allexiviruses. However, little is known about viral epidemics in garlic plants caused by eriophyid mites. Therefore, this study investigated the infection of garlic plants with Allexiviruses by eriophyid mites. When healthy garlic plants were cocultured with eriophyid mites, the leaves of the garlic plants developed yellow mosaic strips and became distorted. In extracts from the eriophyid mites, Allexiviruses were observed using immunosorbent electron microscopy (ISEM). From an immunoblot analysis, coat proteins against an Allexivirus garlic-virus antiserum were clearly identified in purified extracts from collected viral-infected garlic plants, eriophyid mites, and garlic plants infected by eriophyid mites. A new strain of GarV-B was isolated and named GarV-B Korea isolate 1 (GarV-B1). The ORF1 and ORF2 in GarV-B1 contained a typical viral helicase, RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp), and triple gene block protein (TGBp) for viral movement between cells. The newly identified GarV-B1 was phylogenetically grouped with GarV-C and GarV-X in the Allexivirus genus. All the results in this study demonstrated that eriophyid mites are a transmitter insect species for Allexiviruses.

후쿠시마 원전 사고로 인한 우리나라 장기 전력수급정책에 대한 대중의 저항 및 불안감이 존재하고 있다. 고리 원전 1호기에 대한 정부의 영구정지 결정과 설계수명이 끝난 월성 원전 1호기의 계속운전 시행 반대, 고리 원전 인근 주민의 갑상선암 논란 등 원전 운영으로 인한 국내외 여건이 위기를 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 원전운영능력과 안전은 여러 가지 지표들이 있지만, 원전의 방사선안전관리 능력, 특히 방사선피폭량을 중심으로 상세 분석과 논의가 필요하다. 분석대상과 방법으로는 최근 5년간 원전의 피폭 방사선량을 분석하고, 유관한 방사선 작업종사자군과 방사선 피폭량 추이를 비교 평가하였고, 세계 주요 원전 국의 개인당 연간 평균방사선량도 비교 분석하였다. 분석결과 방사선차폐와 방호조치등 총체적인 방사선량 저감화 계획과 연구를 통해 방사선피폭량을 저감하고 있음을 확인하였다. 연간선량한도한도인 50 mSv, 5년간 100 mSv를 초과한 방사선작업 종사자는 없었으며, 이는 방사선구역 출입시 자동화에 따른 출입제한과 관리선량 제한치를 연간선량한도의 60%미만으로 설정하는 등 다양한 방사선안전관리 체계를 확보하고 있음이 확인되었다. 원자로형별 운영형태에 따른 방사선피폭 유형은, 중수로 원전의 총 피폭대비 정상 운전시 방사선피폭비율이 경수로 원전보다 6.2 % 높게 나타났다. 이는 중수로 원전이 정상운전시 방사선피폭 작업이 많음을 확인하였다. 또한 세계원자력발전사업자협의회 성능평가지표(World Association of Nuclear Operators performance indicators, WANO PI)에 의하면, 2013년도 주요 원전보유국의 연간 호기당 집단선량은 우리나라가 527 man-mSv로 가장 우수한 실적을 보였으며, 세계평균치인 725 man-mSv의 73% 수준을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 개인당 연간 방사선피폭량은 종사자의 약 80%가 일반인의 선량한도인 1 mSv 미만이며, 개인당 평균선량 역시 0.82 mSv로 매우 낮은 수준을 보였다. 유관 기관의 방사선작업 종사자와 비교해보면, 2013년 기준으로 방사선안전재단에 등록된 관련 업종 방사선작업 종사자의 개인당 평균선량은 1.07 mSv에 비해 77% 수준이며, 비파괴 검사기관 종사자의 개인 평균선량 3.87 mSv의 21% 수준을 보였다. 결론적으로 원전의 피폭 방사선량은 이상적으로 저감하는 추이를 보이고 있으나, 더 이상 낮추는 것은 한계가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 원전 주변 주민이 심리적인 불안감, 전원개발계획에서 원전의 비중을 감안할 때, 최적의 원전 상황을 평가하는 지표인 방사선안전관리 능력은 각종 통계를 기반으로 하는 정보 제시 및 총체적인 방사선량 저감화 추진이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
