Introduction of sliced raw fish meat(SRFM) to fast food business has been considered seriously. However bacteria causing food poisoning should be controlled. Organic acids such as vinegar and lactic acid used in the sauce for SRFM were evaluated for their antibacterial activities. At low concentration levels of vinegar and lactic acid exerted strong antibacterial activities toward Vibriu sp.. In contrast, in case of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli O157:H7 low anitbacterial activities were observed even at relatively high concentrations. Minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of vinegar for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were 16, 18, 16, 12, 26, and $20{\mu}\ell /m\ell, respertively. MIC of lactic acid for V. vilnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 were 20, 25, 25, 25, 40, and $35{\mu}\ell /m\ell, respectively. In case of vinegar bactericidal concentration upon 10 second contact for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaenolyticus, V. mimicus and E. coli O157:H7 were 8, 14, 10, 4, and 48%, respectively; however, even at 50% colony of S. typhimurium was observed. In case of lactic acid any colony was observed for V. vulnificus, V. cholerae non-O1, V. parahaemolyticus, V. mimicus, S. typhimurium and E. coli O157:H7 at the concentration of 2, 3, 4, 3, 14, and 17%, respectively. Vinegar and lactic acid of low concentration inhibited the growth of Vibrio sp., food poisoning pathogen in SRFM; in contrast, at high concentration these organic acids inhibited Salmonella sp. and Escherichia sp., food poisoning pathogen in other than SRFM.

Events detected by the KIER microearthquake network operated in the Southern Part of Korea for 265 days in 1982~1984 were reviewed, and some of them were identified to be a dynamite explosion from several construction sites. The purpose of the present work is to determine the crustal structure of the Southern Korea using the time-destance data obtained from such explosion seismic records. The time·distance data can be well explained by a crustal model composed of four horizontal layers of which thickness, p and s-wave velocity ($V_p$ and $V_s$) are characterized as follows. 1st layer (surface) ; 0~2km, $V_p=5.5km/sec$, $V_s=3.3km/sec$ 2nd layer (upper crust) ; 2~15km, $V_p=6.0km/sec$, $V_s=3.5km/sec$ 3rd layer (lower crust) ; 15~29km, $V_p=6.6km/sec$, $V_s=3.7km/sec$ 4th layer (upper mantle) ; 29km~ , $V_p=7.7km/sec$, $V_s=4.3km/sec$ The relatively shallow crust·mantle boundary and low $P_n$ velocity compared with the mean values for stable intraplate region are noteworthy. Supposedely, it is responsible for the high heat flow in the South-eastern Korea or an anomalous subterranean mantle. The mean $V_p/V_s$ ratio calculated from the relation between p-wave arrival and s-p arrival times appears to be 1.735 which is nearly equivalent to the elastic medium of ${\lambda}={\mu}$. However, the ratio tends to be slightly larger with the depth. The ratio is rather high compared with that of the adjacent Japanese Island, and the fact suggests that the underlying crust and upper mantle in this region are more ductile and hence the earthquake occurrences are apt to be interrupted. As an alternative curstal model, a seismic velocity structure in which velocities are successively increased with the depth is also proposed by the inversion of the time·distance data. With the velocity profile, it is possible to calculate a travel time table which is appropriate to determine the earthquake parameters for the local events.

An extended directed triple system of order v, denoted by EDTS(v), is a pair (V, (equation omitted)) where V is a v-set and (equation omitted) is a set of transitive triples of elements of V such that every ordered pair of elements of V is contained in exactly one member of (equation omitted). We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of cyclic EDTS(v)s, and when k=1 or 2, we also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of k-rotational EDTS(v)s.

In order to investigate the correlation of sedimentary rock properties. specific gravity, porosity, water content, sonic wave velodty, and point4oad strength index of core samples of limestones, sandstones and shales were measured. The relationships between density and velocity show $V_p=16300d-38719.3,{\;}V_s1896.4d-29225.1$ of regression equation for sandstones and $Vp=4085d-10264.8,{\;}V_s=3519d-7841.3$ for shales and <$Vp=4085d^2-20747d+303,{\;}V_s=3899d^2-21442d+318$ for limestones. Seismic wave velocity of shales which have high density is lower than that of sandstones, and this seems to be an effect of bedding in shale. P-wave velocity and S-wave velocity of limestones, sandstones and shales show the linear relationships as a whole. The regression equations are respectively calculated V_s=0.26V_p+1041.6m/sec,{\;}V_s=0.43V_p+424.2m/sec,{\;}and{\;}Vs=0.51V_p+261.9m/sec$ and the correlation coefficients of the velocity show r= 0.86 in sandstones, r= 0.75 in limestones and r=0.86 in shales. According to the point4oad strength test for limestones, point4ord strength anisotropy was not so dear even though the specimens show generally the banded structure. Variations of dip angle of bedding whihin the range $30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}$ does not have much influence upon the diametral strength index and axial strength index. From the result of point load test, P-wave velocity increases with point4ord strength index but the regression equations are $V_p=98.5lI{s_d}+4082.1m/sec,{\;}V_p=106.41{s_a}+3954m/sec$ and their correlation coefficient is low.

The Melanesian region in the western Pacific is dominated by complex plate tectonics, with the largest oceanic plateau, the OntongJava plateau, and a hotspot, the Caroline Islands. To better understand the complex geodynamics of the region, we estimate P- and S-velocity models and 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) model by using relative teleseismic travel times measured at seismometers on land and the seafloor. Our results show high-velocity anomalies in the subduction zones of the Melanesian region to a depth of about 400 km, which is thought to be subducting Solomon Sea, Bismarck, and Australian plates along plate boundaries. Along subduction zones, positive 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomalies are found, which may be caused by partial melting due to dehydration. A broad high-velocity anomaly is observed at 600 km depth below the Ontong-Java plateau, with a negative 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly. This is thought to be a viscous and dry remnant of the Pacific plate that subducted at 45-25 Ma, with a low volume of fluids due to dehydration for a long period in the mantle transition zone. Beneath the Caroline Islands, a strong low-velocity anomaly is obseved to a depth of 800 km and appears to be connected to the underside of the remnant Pacific plate in the mantle transition zone. This suggests that the mantle plume originating in the lower mantle has been redirected due to the interaction with the remnant Pacific plate and has reached its current location. The mantle plume also has a positive 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly, which is thought to be due to the influence of embedded fluids or partial melting. A high-velocity anomaly, interpreted as an effect of the thick lithosphere beneath the Ontong-Java plateau, is observed down to 300 km depth with a negative 𝛿 (V_P/V_S) anomaly, which likely indicate that little fluid remains in the melt residue accumulated in the lithosphere.

For the site characterization at two inland areas, Gyeongju and Hongsung, which represent geomorphic and geologic characteristics of inland region in Korea, in-situ seismic tests containing borehole drilling investigations and resonant column tests were peformed and site-specific seismic response analyses were conducted using equivalent linear as well as nonlinear scheme. The soil deposits in Korea were shallower and stiffer than those in western US, from which the site coefficients and site classification system in Korea were derived. Most sites were categorized as site classes C and D based on the mean shear wave velocity $(V_s)$ of the upper 30 m $(V_s30)$, ranging between 250 and 650 m/s. According to the acceleration response spectra determined from the site response analyses, the site coefficients specified in the current Korean seismic design guide underestimate the ground motion in the short-period band and overestimate the ground motion in mid-period band. These differences can be explained by the differences in the bedrock depth and the soil stiffness profile between Korea and western US. The site coefficients, $F_a$ for short-period and $F_v$ for mid-period, were re-evaluated and the site classification system, in which sites C and D were subdivided according to $V_s20,\;V_s15,\;and\;V_s10$ together with the existing $V_s30$ was introduced accounting for the local geologic conditions at inland region of the Korean peninsula. The proposed site classification system in this paper is still rudimentary and requires modification.

$HgGa_2S_4$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The $HgGa_2S_4$ single crystal crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure $(I\bar{4})$. The lattice constants of the single crystal were found to be a=5.635 ${\AA}$ and c=10.473 ${\AA}$. The direct and indirect optical energy gaps were found to be 2.84 eV and 2.78 eV, respectively. Photoluminescence peaks of $HgGa_2S_4$ single crystal were observed at 2.37 eV, 2.18 eV, and 1.81 eV. In the single crystal, the donor level of 0.25 eV, the acceptor levels of 0.97 eV and 0.41 eV were obtained by TSC, PICTS, and absorption measurements. The photoluminescence peaks were analyzed to relate to the indirect conduction band, the donor level, and the acceptor levels.

Hoffmeister(1943)에 의해 변광성으로 발견된 V345 Cas (2MASS J23083986+5406545, ${\alpha}$(2000.0)=23h08m39.86s & ${\delta}(2000.0)=+54^{\circ}06^{\prime}54.6^{\prime\prime}$)는 B 필터에서 13.1~14.2의 광도 변화를 보이는 것으로 알려진 별이다. 우리는 레몬산 천문대(LOAO)에서 2007년과 2008년에 걸쳐 총 22일간 V345 Cas의 BVRI CCD 측광관측을 수행하여, 처음으로 V345 Cas의 년도 별 전체 광도곡선을 완성하였다. 우리의 관측 자료와 Super WASP에서 공개한 자료를 이용하여 각각 7개의 극심시각을 산출하였다. 우리가 결정한 극심시각을 포함하여 여러 문헌에서 수집한 총 68개의 극심시각을 이용하여 V345 Cas의 주기 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, V345 Cas의 궤도주기는 포물선 모양의 영년변화와 함께 약 30년의 규칙적인 변화를 겪고 있음을 발견하였다. 규칙적인 변화를 제3천체에 의한 광시간 효과로 가정하여 관측된 극심시각에 잘 맞는 광시간 궤도 해를 산출한 결과, 영년주기가 증가하는 경우와 감소하는 경우에 대해, 각각 29.0년과 39.7년 주기를 갖는 두 개의 광시간 궤도 해가 가능하다. 이러한 모호성을 해결하기 위해서 앞으로의 극심시각 관측이 중요하다. 2007년과 2008년 BVRI 광도곡선들은 부극심을 기준으로 좌우가 거의 대칭이며, 1년 사이에 특기할 만한 광도변화를 보이지 않았다. 우리는 이 광도곡선들을 Wilson-Devinney 쌍성 모델을 이용하여 분석하여, V345 Cas의 측광학적 해를 처음으로 산출하였다. 우리가 구한 해에 의하면, 약 88도의 궤도경사각에 두 성분별의 질량비가 약 0.5인 V345 Cas는 질량과 표면 온도가 큰 주성과 로쉬 로브를 채우고 있는 반성으로 구성된 준 분리형 식쌍성계이다.

To study ecological properties of Vibrio cholerae non-Ol and Vibrio mimicus which have been described as new food poisoning bacteria recently, the influence of factors such as temperature, salinity, pH and chemical oxygen demand (COD) on detection rate and density of these bacteria were evaluated. Fifty four seawater samples and 49 bottom deposit samples from estuary of Kum river from March 26th, 1993 to February 22nd, 1994 were used for this study. The detection rate of V cholerae non-O1 were $16.7\%$ for seawater and $10.2\%$ for bottom deposit, respertively. The total detertion rate of V. cholerae non-O1 $(11.7\%)$ was a little higher than V mimicus $(10.7\%)$. Both V choierae non-O1 and V. mimicus were mainly detected in estuary water of which showed temperature $24^{\circ}C$ above and salinity $10\%o$ below. These bacteria were also detected in bottom deposit on January when the water temperature was $3.5^{\circ}C$. From these results, we supposed that temperature, salinity and organic material were important factors to growth of V. cholerae non-O1 and V. mimicus. V cholerae non-O1 might be grown better than V. mimicus under the fluctuating aquatic environmental condition such as salinity.
