In order to determine population dynamics of Anopheles sinensis, a survey based on average number of female mosquitoes per trap-night was carried out during the period of 5 years from 1987 to 1991, A. sinensis Birst appeared between the 2nd and 20th April, and were trapped in large number between the 5th and 12th July. The number of trapped mosquitoes began to decrease from mid-August, and a few were collected until mid-November, each year. The average number of A. sinensis in July was 542.6 per trap-night in 1987, but in 1989 increased abruptly to 1,331.4, and then decreased to considerably lower levels, 271, 9 in 1990 and 372. 1 in 1991. The nocturnal activity of A. sinensis to attack humans was found to become active in the early night, and it was gradually decreasing at mid·night, however, then slightly increasing toward dawn. The immature stage of A. sinensis in the rice paddies was Birst found in the correlation pattern with peak adult densities in early July. The highest larval density of A. sinensis in the study area was 21,226×103 in early July 1990. The larval A. sinensis showed high resistance level and resistance ratios against 3 kinds of organo- phosphorous compounds, diazinon, malathion, and fenitrothion, but low resistance against fenthion. The present results indicated that the population density of A, sinensis in Kyongbuk area is decreasing over the five·year from 1987 to 1991. Key words: Anopheles sinensis, seasonal prevalence, population dynamics, Kyongbuk Province.

This paper presents a novel evolutionary framework for optimizing a bio-inspired fully dynamic neurocontroller for the maneuverable flapping flight of a simulated bird-sized ornithopter robot which takes advantage of the morphological computation and mechansensory feedback to improve flight stability. In order to cope with the difficulty of generating robust flapping flight and its maneuver, the wing of robot is modelled as a series of sub-plates joined by passive torsional springs, which implements the simplified version of feathers attached to the forearm skeleton. The neural controller is designed to have a bilaterally symmetric structure which consists of two fully connected neural network modules receiving mirrored sensory inputs from a series of flight navigation sensors as well as feather mechanosensors to let them participate in pattern generation. The synergy of wing compliance and its sensory reflexes gives a possibility that the robot can feel and exploit aerodynamic forces on its wings to potentially contribute to the agility and stability during flight. The evolved robot exhibited target-following flight maneuver using asymmetric wing movements as well as its tail, showing robustness to external aerodynamic disturbances.

Euonymus alatus (Thunb.) Sieb., also known as the arrow tree in Korea, is a plant in East Asia used in traditional medicine and food. In particular, the wings of E. alatus are rich in phenolic compounds. This study evaluated the antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibition, and anti-cancer activities of E. alatus wing extracts. The radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging acitvities and reducing the power of 1,000 ㎍/mL E. alatus wing extracts, were similar to those of the positive control (0.1% BHT, 0.1% α-tocopherol). In addition, ethanol and methanol extract at 250 ㎍/mL showed 95.70 and 94.99% of α-glucosidase inhibition activity, respectively. The ethanol extract of E. alatus wings had the highest total polyphenol and flavonoid contents (867.8 mg% and 521.7 mg%, respectively). The E. alatus wing extracts significantly decreased the cell viability of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells (p<0.001), MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells (p<0.001), and HT-29 human colon cancer cells (p<0.001) in a dose-dependent manner. However, there was no significant effect on B16 mouse melanoma cells. Notably, the ethanol extracts showed higher cancer cell growth inhibitory activity in LNCaP and HT-29 cells than the other extracts. These results suggest that E. alatus wing extracts could have significant clinical applications, and our results can be used as basic data for future functional food material development.

Ricania shantungensis is a pest causiong problems in many crops. We tested the possibility of controling Ricania shantungensis using essential oil of Valeriana fauriei which were extracted by three different methods (steam distillation, solvent and supercritical extraction). Steam distillation were showed the most high mortality to adult ($1,040{\mu}L/mL$) and nymph ($2,370{\mu}L/mL$) of R. shantungensis. The yield of steam distillation extraction was 0.67%, which was lower than other methods. However, it is determined that steam extraction was showed higher efficiency by considering time and cost. The result of this study showed the possibility of control R. shantungensis by essential oil of V. fauriei.

Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are economically important pests of fruit trees in Korea. The aim of the present study was to survey the relative abundance of stink bugs on four stone fruits, maesil (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc), cherry (Prunus avium L.), plum (Prunus salicina Lindl), and peach (Prunus persica (L.) Batsch), from 2017 to 2019 in the field. Four stink bug species were observed, including Carbula putoni (Jakovlev), Dolycoris baccarum (L.), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), Plautia stali Scott. H. halys was the most abundant (65%), followed by P. stali (26%), C. putoni (7%), and D. baccarum (2%). H. halys was the dominant species in maesil, cherry, and peach fruits, whereas P. stali was the dominant species in plum fruits. Most (81%) of the stink bugs observed were adults, with nymphs accounting for only 19% of the observed specimens. More stink bugs were observed during the late season than during the early season. These finding suggest that control strategies should be developed for the management of H. halys and P. stali at harvest in stone fruit tree orchards in Korea.

보(beam)는 기계 구조 및 항공 우주 구조물의 기본적인 요소로서, 특히 큰 동적 거동을 하는 경우는 비선형성이 두드러지게 나타나는 것으로 알려져 있고[4], 헬리콥터의 회전날개(rotor blade)나 두께가 얇은 고속회전 축등의 경우에는 비틀림(torsion)과 굽힘(bending) 운동이 비선형 연성되어 나타나게 된다. 이러한 비선형 연성 효과를 갖는 경우에는 운동의 양상이 복잡하게 전개된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비선형 연성운동이 생기는 이러한 단순 외팔보에 대해 비선형 진동 특성을 파악하고 각 비틀림(internal resonance)현상[5]에 따른 정상상태 진폭 응답의 해석을 그 목적으로 한다.

본 연구에서는 섬유강화 복합재료로 구성된 항공기 날개를 외팔보 형태 구조물로 모델링하고 동특성 해석을 위해 횡전단변형 이론과 고전 적층판 이론을 적용, Rayleigh-Ritz 방법에 의한 진동해석을 수행한뒤 진동 발생시 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동특성 향상을 정량적으로 제시하였다. 진동을 제어하기 위한 방법으로서 수동적, 능동적 방법을 모두 사용하고 있는데, (보다 자세한 사항은 참고문헌[12] 참조) 본 연구에서는 TMD(Tuned Mass Damper)를 사용하지 않고 복합소재 구조물의 성질을 이용한 탄성배열설계(Structural Tailoring)로 수동적 의미의 면진효과를 거둘 수 있게 하였다. 능동 제어의 경우 되먹임(feedback) 제어기를 이용, 이산(discret) 작동기(actuator)를 통하여 외팔보의 휨 및 비틀림 모우드를 함께 제어하여 효과적인 제어기를 설계하였다.

최근 기후변화 개방화로 산림과 농경지 모두가 서식처인 외래종 꽃매미, 미국선녀벌레, 갈색날개매미충 등의 새로운 해충이 돌발적으로 발생하여 그 피해가 심각해지고 있다. 이 해충들은 흡즙성의 가해양상을 보이며 알로 월동하고 생활사가 유사하며 기주범위가 상당히 넓다는 공통적인 특징을 지니고 있다. 꽃매미의 유입 정착사례에서 보듯이 최근의 기후변화가 발생과 관련되어 있어 앞으로 수목과 농작물 모두에 피해가 우려되고 있는 실정이다. 특히 최근 온화한 겨울 기온과 봄철 이상기온으로 인해 알로 월동하는 해충들의 월동치사율이 감소하고 발생시기가 빨라질 것으로 예측되는 상황에서 이들 문제 해충의 생태 및 방제법에 대하여 간단히 소개하고자 한다.
