The resistance against drying of mulberry (Morus alba L.) graftages lifted in the fall and spring was examined by measuring water loss, survival, and regrowth. The graftages were exposed on the ground an4 covered with 2 sheets of straw mat for 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, and 15 days. 1. Temperatures in the mat ranged from 13 to -6.5$^{\circ}C$ in fall and 24 to -2.8$^{\circ}C$ in spring. Relative humidity was 37 to 100% in fall and 20 to 100% in spring. 2. Water loss from the graftages was less than 10% after 10 days exposure in fall, whereas there was 9.8% loss with 1 day exposure in spring. 3. Six days exposure in the spring caused the root hairs to dry and the root surface to become wrinkled longitudinally and turn yellowish-red. 4. Maximum exposure which allowed 100% survival and regrowth after planting was 6 days in fall and 3 days in spring under 2 sheets of straw mat.

This study analyzes the material characteristics of stone tools of the Paleolithic period excavated from the Osong site, located at the project site for the creation of the Osong 2nd Life Science Complex, and estimates the provenance of the stone materials. Because the stones had been buried for a long time, their surfaces had become heavily weathered yellow or yellowish-brown, and the magnetic susceptibility values varied from 0 to 15(${\times}10^{-3}SI$). The excavated stone tools were rocks with various magnetic susceptibility values that could not be specified. Five stone tools subjected to destructive analysis were divided into two groups, one with a value of 1-3(${\times}10^{-3}SI$) and the other with a value of 5-9(${\times}10^{-3}SI$), both based on visible characteristics. The results of the thin-section analysis showed that most of the stone tools were basaltic rocks comprising plagioclase, quartz, and pyroxene, and some had iron content as high as 20 wt.%. These findings and the present geological map suggest that the stone tools were not made from the surrounding rocks because there are no areas containing basaltic rocks surrounding Bongsan-ri in Osong-eup. Andesite and tuff are distributed along with basaltic rocks in the Doan-myeon area in Jeongpyeong-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, but the distance from the excavation site is too far. To determine whether this region is actually related to the provenance of the raw rock, it is necessary to conduct additional field surveys and comprehensive and precise analyses.

'Yeoreumhyang1ho' - a new variety of Flammulina velutipes, light brown in color and adaptable to high temperature - was bred by mating two monokaryons isolated from 'Garlmoe' and 'Konkuk1ho'. It exhibited better quality compared to 'Geumhyang' and 'Garlmoe' under conditions where temperature was maintained at $16^{\circ}C$, without exposure to low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$), during the cultivation period. Bottle cultivation at $16^{\circ}C$ required 22, 6, and 10 days for mycelial growth, primordia formation, and growth of the fruit body, respectively. The total cultivation period for 'Yeoreumhyang1ho' was observed to be 38 days, which is 3 and 7 days shorter than that for 'Geumhyang' and 'Garlmoe', respectively. The primordia formation showed remarkable uniformity and the pileus color was observed to be light brown, an intermediate between yellowish ivory of 'Geumhyang' and medium brown of 'Garlmoe'. The yield was 138 g per 850 ml bottle, which was 10% higher than that of 'Geumhyang'.

The study on the spawning ecology of Sarcocheilichthys variegatus wakiyae at Jicheon stream, Korea was investigated from March 2016 to February, 2017. The sex ratio of male to female was 1 : 0.97 and there was no significant difference. The spawning season was from the end of April to the mid-July, and the peak of spawning period was from the beginning of May to the end of June. The average water temperature at this time was $18^{\circ}C$. According to frequency analysis of total length, it is presumed that the group with a total length of less than 51~70 mm was one year old, the 71~100 mm was two years old, and the group over 101 mm was three years old. They sexually matured when they were over two years. The average number of eggs in the ovaries was estimated as $428{\pm}194per$ matured female. The mature eggs were yellowish, oval, and had a mean diameter of $2.38{\pm}0.25mm$ and a short diameter of $1.98{\pm}0.20mm$.

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of yanggaeng added with jujube extracts. The jujube extracts were incorporated into yanggaeng at different levels (containing 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% jujube extracts) based on the total weight of water. To analyze the quality characteristics in the manufacture of yanggaengs, pH, moisture content, density of dough, height, specific volume, baking loss, texture, color, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and sensory test were determined. As the content of jujube powder increased, the pH of yanggaengs decreased but the acidity increased. There was no significant difference in the moisture content depending on the addition of jujube extracts. The color, lightness and redness of yanggaengs decreased as the concentration of the extract increased, whereas the yellowish color increased. As the jujube extracts content increased, total polyphenol content, antioxidant activity, reducing sugar and total tannins significantly increased. The yanggaeng contains jujube extract with acceptable sensory properties, such as color, sweet taste, and overall acceptability, which could be integrated into yanggaengs to meet the taste and functional needs of the consumers.

We experienced mortality of dark-banded rockfish (Sebastes inermis) maintained in the rearing facility located in Gangneung, after transportation. Moribund fish showed various symptoms such as exophthalmia, skin ulcers, tail rots, gill rots, discoloration of liver with petechiae, yellowish fluid in intestines and ascites. Two different colonies were dominantly appeared after spreading the lesions on the agar plates and incubation. One isolate (SI_1) showed swarming movement on TSA, and formed yellow colonies on TCBS agar. The other (SI_2) showed no swarming motility and green colonies on TCBS agar. Both of them were Gram-negative. All of these results are similar with those of Genus Vibrio. They were identified as V. harveyi and V. gigantis by PCR with subsequent sequencing of 3 different genes (16 rDNA, recA, rpoA). V. harveyi is well-known as a serious pathogen of marine fish and invertebrates, while V. gigantis is known to be often isolated from marine invertebrates, but the pathogenicity is still unknown. We suspect V. harveyi as the cause of the mortality of dark-banded rockfish, but challenge experiments with these 2 Vibrio species are thought to be necessary to make a clear conclusion.

The free residual chlorine of tap water samples, collected from 266 faucets on the water pipe network in Daegu City, was between 0.1 and 0.79 mg/L. On microorganic tests, general bacteria and the coliform goup were not detected and thus the tap water was turned out to be fit to drink. In particular, samples of which free residual chlorine was 0.1 mg/L and over were cultured in R2A agar media at $25^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, and as a result heterotrophic bacteria were detected in 65.9% of samples; (1). The closer tap water got to the faucet from the stilling basin, the lower residual chlorine concentration became but the more the bacterial count became. And, more bacteria were detected in the R2A agar medium than in the PCA medium. (2). In the case of separated strains, most colonies were reddish or yellowish. 16S rRNA sequence was identified as Methylobacterium sp. and Williamsia sp., and yellow strain was identified as Sphingomonas sp., Sphingobium sp., Novosphingobium sp., Blastomonas sp., Rhodococcus sp. and Microbacterium sp. White strain was identified as Staphylococcus sp. (3). Sterilized tap water in polyethylene bottles was inoculated with separated strain and was left as it was for 2 months. As a result, bio-film was observed in tap water inoculated with Methylobacterium sp. and Sphingomonas sp. It was found that heterotrophic bacteria increased when free residual chlorine was removed from tap water in the water pipe network. Thus, there is a need to determine a base value for heterotrophic bacteria in order to check the cleanliness of tap water in the water pipe network.

This study investigated the effect of a pigment (C. I. Pigment Red 122) addition on mechanical properties of the epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) and G640 curing agent. The K/S value, thermal properties, tensile properties, and fracture toughness of the prepared epoxy samples were evaluated. When the pigment was added to the DGEBF/G640 epoxy system, the color of the epoxy resin changed to red from transparent and yellowish color, and the K/S value in the red region increased as the pigment content increased. When the pigment content was increased up to 0.1 phr, the tensile strength was improved up to 21.8 %, whereas the pigment content was over 0.1 phr, the tensile strength decreased. The fracture toughness was improves up to 23.1 % until the amount of pigment added was up to 0.2 phr, and then decreased when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. This attributed to the aggregation of the pigments in the epoxy resin when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. Therefore, the coloration of the epoxy resin with an organic pigment must be carried out very carefully because the coloration of epoxy resin affects its mechanical properties.

The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effect of tongue color change due to food ingestion on tongue diagnosis by both Korean Medicine doctors and digital tongue diagnosis system. In order to obtain objective and quantitative data, we used digital camera to collect the data. Prior to our investigation, we conducted a brief survey of 26 Korean Medicine doctors and found out that tongue diagnosis is frequently used and food-stained tongue could be commonly observed in clinics. Depending on their color, viscosity, and amount of intake, various foods caused stains with different colors and thicknesses. Also, duration and amount of food stain on tongue were different from person to person. Since coffee-stained tongue was the most frequently observed one in clinics according to the survey, we used coffee to evaluate the effect of food-stained tongue on tongue diagnosis. Korean Medicine doctors tended to interpret coffee-stained tongue as having yellow tongue coat but their judgement on tongue body color did not differ in spite of the coffee stains. Meanwhile, tongue diagnosis system algorithm tended to judge coffee-stained tongue as having normal but yellowish tongue coat and reddish tongue body. Altogether, food color on tongue can influence tongue diagnosis outcomes. Further research is needed in order to develop more efficient tongue diagnosis algorithm and digital medical service system.
