Due to the recent development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the amount of research publications has increased exponentially. In response to this rapid growth, the demand of automated text processing methods has risen to deal with massive amount of text data. Biomedical text mining discovering hidden biological meanings and treatments from biomedical literatures becomes a pivotal methodology and it helps medical disciplines reduce the time and cost. Many researchers have conducted literature-based discovery studies to generate new hypotheses. However, existing approaches either require intensive manual process of during the procedures or a semi-automatic procedure to find and select biomedical entities. In addition, they had limitations of showing one dimension that is, the cause-and-effect relationship between two concepts. Thus;this study proposed a novel approach to discover various relationships among source and target concepts and their intermediate concepts by expanding intermediate concepts to multi-levels. This study provided distinct perspectives for literature-based discovery by not only discovering the meaningful relationship among concepts in biomedical literature through graph-based path interference but also being able to generate feasible new hypotheses.

The diet composition of Leiognathus nuchalis were studied using 350 specimens collected from October 2010 to September 2011 in the coastal waters of Gadeok-do, Korea. L. nuchalis was carnivorous feeder that consumed mainly copepods, crab larvae, and shrimp larvae. Its diet also included small quantities of polychaetes, amphipods, euphausiids, bivalve larvae, and gastropod larvae. The size of L. nuchalis ranged from 3.0 to 9.8 cm in body length (BL). L. nuchalis underwent an ontogenetic dietary shift. 3~5 cm size individuals fed mainly on copepods. 5~7 cm size individuals fed mainly crab larvae and shrimp larvae. 8~10 cm size individuals fed mainly polychaetes. The size increases, the weight of food organisms are constantly increased.

This study is the first official report on the wild habitats of alien species, Yellow-spotted Amazon River Turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) in Republic of Korea. On July 24, 2020, two P.unifilis were observed basking on rocks at 33°30'20.08"N 126°38'0.23"E, Waheul-ri, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju. One individual had a yellow spots on the head where as the other contains black spot. Our observatory site is close to road and easy access to people. Thus, these individuals were believed to be released in the pond after raising as pets. Recently, the number of alien turtles identified in wild(etc. lake, resevoir) is increasing, which is predicted to damage the aquatic ecosystem due to the inflow of exotic turtles. So, it is necessary to improve the people's awareness of alien species through citizen science projects and environmental education. We suggest that research on habitat adaptation, reproduction and management through continuous monitoring is needed in the future.

Genetic analysis of rainbow trout populations in hatchery stocks is important in order to develop a strategy for their management. In this study, chromosome number and polymorphisms of diploid and artificially induced triploid rainbow trout are discribed. The relation-ship between chromosomal polymorphism and their economic values for the aquaculture industry are also discussed.

Cobitis sinensis-longicorpus complex considered as hybrid origin between C. sinensis and C. longicorpus coccurred ommonly in the upper streams of the Nakdong River, Korea. Histological examinations of their gonad were accompanied with 272 individuals of C. sinensis-longicorpus complex collected. Most of fishes collected were females, however, only 6 individuals were found males. The ovarian tissues of females are completely fertile undergoing normal oogenensis. In the male gonads, testicular lobule structure with abnormal vacuolar tissues were observed. Spermatogonia and spermatocytes were also observed of their testis however spermatids or sperms were not shown in their developmental stages. From these facts, we infer that female population of C. sinensis-longicorpus complex may be unique reproductive hierarchy accomplishing their reproduction with participation of males of their closely related bisexual species.

컴퓨터지원진단(Computer Aided Diagnosis; CAD) 시스템은 방사선 의사들이 흉부 X-ray 영상에서 결절을 탐지하는데 있어 실제적으로 발생할 수 있는 오진율을 줄이고, 폐 결절이 존재하는 폐야에서 결절의 존재 유무를 판단하여 검출을 표시함으로써 진단율을 개선시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문은 흉부 X-ray 영상에서의 폐 결절을 추출하는데 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용한 템플릿 매칭(Template Matching) 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 흉부 X-ray 영상에 존재하는 결절과 레퍼런스 이미지를 매칭시켜 적합도를 계산한 후, 그 값을 통하여 수치가 낮은 개체를 선택하여 높은 개체와 교차시킨다. 그리고 레퍼런스 이미지는 결절이 존재하는 환자 X-ray 영상에서 샘플 노듈을 추출한 후 가우시안 분포를 갖는 512개의 레퍼런스 이미지를 생성하였다. 본 논문에서 사용된 영상은 결절 50개, 비결절 30개와 흉부 X-ray 영상에서 육안으로 판별이 가능한 결절 영상을 20개를 포함하여 총 100개 영상을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 83%의 결절을 자동 추출 하였으며, 가장 적절한 레퍼런스 이미지를 발견하고 이를 흉부영상에 매칭시켜 정확한 결절의 위치를 확인하였다.

Conflicts between humans and wild boars (Sus scrofa) have increased because of causing crop damage and appearing in downtown. Management to reduce population size has mostly been implemented on pests, but knowledges about ecological values are very rare. Rubbing trees by wild boar was investigated to figure out characteristics and for management ecologically from July to October 2013 in a mixed forest, Geochang, Gyeongnam Province, Korea. Pinus rigida was most frequently founded, and rubbing trees, both conifers and deciduous, were mainly located in 200~600 m above sea level. DBH was no significant difference between rubbing and control trees. The use intensity of conifers was higher than that of deciduous. The coverage of foliage layers and the number of woody plants within a radius of 2.5 m of trees (rubbing and control) were also investigated and compared to determine ecological characteristics. There were 1,332 individuals founded from 25 families. In the coverage of foliage layers, the understory and midstory showed statistically significant, but not in the subover and overstory. The number of Shrubs and saplings are higher in rubbing trees than those of control, but no difference in stems. Total individuals, the number of species, species diversity index(H') within a radius 2.5 m is considerably higher in rubbing trees with high intensity than those of low intensity and control. Our results show that wild boar mainly selected and used conifers more frequently as rubbing trees. Wild boar also modified the physical environments around rubbing trees. Consequently, the positive effects such as species diversity is increase. Thus the conservation policies is required after the intensive population reduction every 3-4 years for forest ecological management rather than annual sustainable hunting.

제주도에서 서식하고 있는 무릇의 게놈 분포와 B염색체의 출현 빈도를 조사하였다. 게놈의 유형은 BB, ABB, ABBB, AABB, AABBB 및 AAABBB의 6가지로 나타났으며, 그 중 BB, ABB 및 AAABBB게놈 식물은 제주도 집단에서 처음으로 발견하여 보고되는 것이다. 게놈의 분포는 AABB가 66.2%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, ABBB게놈이 20.4%로 그 다음이었다. ABB와 AAABB게놈 식물은 한 개체씩만 발견되었다. 게놈의 조성은 조사된 13개 집단 중 세가지 유형이 혼생하는 집단이 2개, 두 가지 유형이 나타나는 집단이 BB, AABB 또는 AABBB 중 한 가지 유형의 게놈 식물이 분포하고 있었다. 게놈의 조성으로 보아 제주도의 무릇 집단은 한반도 내륙보다는 일본 집단과의 유연 관계가 더 가까운 것으로 생각된다. B염색체의 수는 1-4개로 나타났으며, 모두 등완염색체(F)였다. B염색체의 출현 빈도는 BB와 AABBB게놈 식물에서 각각 75%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, AABB게놈 식물에서는 48%로 나타나 한반도 내륙(44%)과 비슷한 양상을 보였다. A게놈에 비해 B게놈의 수를 많이 지닌 식물에서 B염색체의 빈도가 높게 나타나는 것이 특징으로 나타났다.

남미 Venezuela국에 있는 면적 약 $26.6\;km^2$, 수심 약 6m의 함수호인 Restinga Lagoon에서 1979년 9월, 10월 2개월간 그곳 자연산 굴인 Crassostrca rhizophorae의 채묘시험을 실시하였다. 채묘성적은 St.2(Fig.2)에서 우수하여 채묘기 $100cm^2$당 약 45개체가 발견되었는데, 부착치패는 조차범위인 약 30cm중 중간 10cm 부분에서 가장 많았고 저조선하에선 각종 부착생물이 다량 부착되었을 뿐 굴 치패는 거의 발견되지 않았다. 따라서, Restinga Lagoon에서의 채묘적지는 St.2가 적합하였고 채묘기 설치위치는 약 4시간 노출선인 저호선위 $15\~10\;cm$가 최적이었다.

군집화는 데이터 집합을 유사한 데이터 개체들의 군집들로 분할하여 데이터 속에 존재하는 의미 있는 정보를 얻는 과정이다. 대부분의 군집화 기법들은 비교적 적은 양의 데이터를 대상으로 한 것이고 다차원 대용량의 데이터 처리에 관한 문제는 다루지 않고 있어서 데이터 마이닝을 위한 군집화 기법으로는 부적절하다. 따라서 본 논문을 통해 대용량의 데이터에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 군집화 알고리즘인 계층적 대표값 군집화(HRC) 기법을 제안한다. HRC는 자기조직화지도와 계층적 군집화 기법을 접목한 하이브리드 방법으로 두 단계에 거쳐 군집화를 수행한다. 첫 번째 단계에서 자기조직화지도를 통해 데이터를 요약하고, 두 번째 단계에서 요약된 대표값 정보만을 가지고 계층적인 군집화를 수행한다. 또한, 두 번째 단계의 계층적 군집화 적용시 양질의 군집을 발견하기 위해 군집간의 유사도를 측정하는 새로운 척도를 고안하였다. 그리고 실험을 통해 HRC와 기존 군집화 알고리즘이 발견한 군집의 질을 비교하여 성능을 평가했다.
