Gemorphological and photogeological techniqes are applied to the problem of geological mapping of a semi-arid area, Albudeite, Southeastern Spain. As a result of this, a geological and surface materials map is made which shows the upper Miocene formation, which mainly consists of marl, limestone and sandstone, is further subdivided into three members, i. e. lower, middle and upper, and the post-Miocene deposits were differentiated into seven stratigraphic units, and mapped. The relationships between geology, landforms and land comlexes previously reognized have been reviewed. The methods adopted have proved to be valuable in interpreting and mapping a compex relationship in which highly variable bedrock outcrops and shallow surface materiales produced under sub-aerial conditios.

강원도 남부(영월)와 충북 제천, 단양 등지에 널리 분포하는 석회암에서 유래된 토양은 점토 및 철분함량이 많은 식질계 토양이며 pH와 염기포화도(Base Saturation)가 높은 붉은색 토양이다. 이 토양은 식양질과 식질 등의 세립(細粒)질로만 구성이 되어 있고 자갈이 있는 토양으로 분류된다. 따라서, 토양의 침투 및 투수속도가 우리나라 토양의 주 모재인 화강암이나 화강편마암 유래 토양과는 다른 양상을 보인다. 본 연구는 세립질 특성을 보이는 석회암 유래 토양의 지표면에서의 침투속도와 토양층위별 투수속도를 측정해 복잡하게 세분되어 있는 토양의 종류를 수문학적인 목적에 따라 단순화하기 위해 만든 수문학적 토양유형을 분류하고자 하였다. 실험을 위해 이용된 토양은 과림, 모산, 장성, 마지, 안미, 평안통의 6개 토양이었고 장력 침투계(Disc tension infiltrometer)와 투수속도 측정계(Guelph permeameter)로 침투 및 투수속도를 측정했다. 현장측정 이후 추정식의 개발을 위해 토양층위별로 시료를 채취하여 실험실조건에서 입도분포, 유기물함량을 측정했다. 토양통별 침투 및 투수속도를 측정한 결과는 유기물 층이 존재하는 과림통은 공극이 많고 토층 내에 나무 및 식물뿌리가 존재해 전체적으로 침투 및 투수속도가 빠른 특성을 보여 수문유형을 A로 분류되었다. 모산통은 토층 내에 자갈함량이 아주 높고 투수속도가 다른 토양에 비해 월등히 빠른 특성을 나타냈으나 50cm이내에서 암반층이 존재하는 관계로 수문유형이 C로 분류되었다. 토층이 깊지 않은 장성통은 토층 내에 나무 및 식물뿌리가 많고 암석노출지가 존재해 침투속도가 빠름에도 불구하고 C 수문유형으로 분류됐다. 자갈이나 잔돌이 많은 마지통은 잔자갈이 존재하고 침투나 투수속도가 빠른 편으로 A유형이었다. 논으로 사용되는 안미통은 다른 석회암 유래토양에 비해 토층이 깊은 편이며 석회암 충적층에서 유래된 토양으로 선상지 및 곡간지에 분포한다. 관개된 상태에서 로타리 작업에 의해 표토의 특성이 교란되는 논으로 이용되는 특성 때문에 침투 및 투수속도는 느려 C유형으로 분류됐다. 잔돌이 존재하는 평안통은 석회암 붕적, 퇴적층으로부터 유래된 토양으로 산록경사지 및 선상단구에 분포하며 표토층인 A층에서 중입상구조를 보이며 공극이 많고 작물뿌리가 매우 많아 침투속도는 빠르나 B층에서는 점토 함량이 감소했다 증가하면서 토성이 급격히 바뀌는 특성을 나타내 투수속도는 느린 값을 보였으나 수분학적 토양유형은 B유형으로 분류됐다.

The gemological charateristics of Gwangdong tektites and Baikdusan obsidians were investigated, using microscopy, density and refractive index measurements, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass spectrometry, X-ray powder diffraction, and electron microprobe analysis. The Gwangdong tektites and Baikdusan obsidians are both black in colour and slightly trans-lucent with various shades of brown when cut into a few mm thick. Both the materials yield conchoidal fracture on broken surface. The tektites occur as tear-drop shapes, ranging from 4 to 10 cm long, and in spheres, from 3 to 5 cm in diameter. On the surface numerous shallow pits up to 3 mm in diameter are present. Mohs' hardness and specific gravity are 5 to 5.5 and 2.66, respectively. The tektites are singly refractive, with an refractive index of 1.51. Numerous spherical air bubbles are randomly scattered throughout the tektites, and silica-rich glass inclusions are occasionally seen. X-ray powder diffraction analysis verifies that they are non-crystalline. The Baikdusan obsidians show very similar properties to those of the Gwangdong tektites, especially in hardness, amorphous nature and fracture. Nevertheless, the Baikdusan obsidian can readily be distinguished from the Gwangdong tektites by refractive index ($1.49{\sim}1.50$), specific gravity (2.67 to 2.68), and inclusions (absence of bubbles and presence of sanidine and magnetite crystals).

This morphological study was carried out to investigate the healing effect of open and occlusive dressing on rabbit skin wounds. The male white rabbits were given incision wound measuring 1.0cm in length and excision wound measuring $1.0{\times}0.2cm$ respectively on backs. Five rabbits among their received sterilization with beta dine twice a day and kept wound open. Another group of rabbits received sterilization and occlusive dressing with application of 1% sulfadiazine ointment and covering of gauze. The rabbits were observed at 5, 10, and 15 days after dressing with light microscope. The results were as follows. Both incision and excision wounds received open and occlusive dressing respectively revealed formation of scab and regeneration of epidermal epithelial cells at wound margin. The superficial dermis showed infiltration of neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, fibroblastic proliferation, and edema. On 10 days after opera and occlusive dressing the scab had disappeared and regeneration of epidermal epithelium was completed. The capillaries and inflammatory cells were decreased in number. However, edema and fibroblastic proliferation were more pronounced. On 15 days after opera and occlusive dressing, there were keratinization of regenerated epidermal epithelium, loss of inflammatory infiltration, edema, and capillary proliferation, and increase of fibroblastic proliferation and collagen fibers. The amounts of scars were less in incision wound than of excision one. There were no differences in healing processes between both dressing methods. According to the above results, it was conceived that sterilization of wound is more important in wound healing than dressing method in trivial wounds.

This study was designed to investigate the differences of physiological variables by age group in alcohol-consuming men. The thirty year old-age group had the lowest waist-hip ratio (WHR), right and left cardio-ankle vascular index (R-CAVI and L-CAVI), right and left ankle-brachial index (R-ABI and L-ABI), amylase, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and creatine phosphokinase (CPK) levels, and the highest body weight (BW), interleukin-6 (IL-6), right and left intraocular pressure (R-IP and L-IP), hematocrit (Hct), hemoglobin (Hb), erythrocyte, red blood cells distribution width (RDW), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total cholesterol (TCH), triglyceride (TG), and ferritin levels. The forty year old-age group was the highest in hs CRp and CPK levels, but the lowest in ferritin level. The fifty year old-age group possessed the highest WHR, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), R- and L-ABI, eosinophil, and amylase levels. The sixty year old-age group had the highest R- and L-CAVI, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), ALP, $\gamma$-glutamyltranspeptidase ($\gamma$-GTP), rheumatoid factor (RF), $\alpha$-fetoprotein (AFP) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and the lowest BW, DBP, R-IP, L-IP, Hct, Hb, leukocyte, platelet, RDW, eosinophil, monocyte, ALT, amylase, TG, and CPK levels. These findings indicate that there may be differences of physiological variables depending on age group in alcohol-consuming men. Further studies should be focused on the physiological differences between alcohol-consuming men and women.

We designed this study to investigate the effects of continuous strenuous aerobic exercise on the respiratory system in a rat model. After exercise for 8 weeks, rats' weights were higher in the exercise groups than in the Control group (non-exercise). Rats in Exercise-120 min group (Ex-120 group) had the lowest weights. Total leukocyte counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were higher in exercise groups than in Control group. The Ex-30 and Ex-120 groups had higher neutrophil counts, whereas that in the Ex-60 group was lower than in the Control group, and that in the Ex-30 group was the highest. Lymphocyte and monocyte counts were higher in all exercise groups than in the Control group, and those in the Exercise-120 min group were the highest. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) level was the highest, while IL-10, interferon-$\gamma$ and nitric oxide (NO) levels were the lowest in the Ex-120 group when compared to the Control and other exercise groups. These findings suggest that strenuous aerobic exercise for short periods (30 min) may have a beneficial effect on decrease in body weight, whereas prolonged-strenuous aerobic exercise (>1 hr) may be adverse to leukocyte and immune levels in the bronchoalveolar system, as well as result in an increased production of oxygen free radicals.

This study carried out to investigate the effect of cutting stimulation on time of cutting, yield and length of antler in Sika deer. There was no significance between surgical stimulation and length of antler, but length was the longest in one side cutting group and the shortest in both side cutting group. Development of point was increased as the number of wounds in the second year (P<0.05). Time of casting was 2 weeks earlier in one side cutting group (P<0.05) than in both sides cutting group. Yields of antler were $148{\pm}23g$ when pedicle was not cut, and $126{\pm}61g$, $179{\pm}63g$, 170g, and $48{\pm}25g$ when pedicle was cut by 0.3cm, 0.4cm, 0.5cm and 0.6cm, respectively. The most desirable thickness of pedicle cut was 0.4-0.5mm. Yield of antler was increased as the size of wound in the first year, and 588, 790 and 657g in control, one-cut and both-cut, respectively. Yields of antler in one-cut is significantly high (P<0.05).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the channel changes according to the temporal and spatial distribution of the deposition area by the vegetation invasion in Kyesung-river. The deposition area mainly occurred by landslide and debris flow from the headwater channel. And also the movement of subsequent downstream depends upon the site of deposits by a varity erosional processes. As the age of deposition area is older, it had a tendency to stable by plant invasion relatively. The vegetations grown in deposition area were very effective to estimate a historical deformation process of river-bed occurred by landslide. The vegetations around deposition area consisted of the same as tree species grown in forest area of circumference like Pinus densiflora, Styrax japonica, Quercus acutissima and Salix gracilistyla. If the torrential stream is flooding, the deposition area of 1 to 5 years can be change to the channel easily. Deposition area of 11 to 23 years had a high river-bed because it passed long time since deposited, and amount of sedimention is much more in wide than in narrow channel. It is consider that the change of channel had many influenced by the span of survial time, scale and movement frequency of deposition area after the vegetation invasion.

A steadily consolidated conglomerate formation (CCF) is developed thickly around Tabjeong-ri and Janghang-ri to the east of Tohamsan, Gyeongju City. The CCF has been regarded to a basal conglomerate, Cheonbug Conglomerate, of the Yonil Group by Tateiwa (1924). Son et al. (2000) correlated the CCF to the Songjeon Formation, which occupies the southwestern block of Tertiary Waup Basin. However, the Songjeon Formation stratigraphically does not face to the extension of the CCF. OSL (Optically Stimulated Luminescence) data on the reddish brown to bluish gray psammitic layers, which are intercalated in the CCF, yielded to 85∼92 ka. Therefore, the age of CCF constrains to the last interglacial stage (MIS 5c-5e) rather than the Early Miocene Cheonbug Conglomerate. The Late Pleistocene Tohamsan Formation (TF) is newly named to the CCF and is subdivided to megabreccias and boulders. A rectangular basin, in which the TF is accumulated, is bounded by Oedong and Yonil faults (segments of Yonil Tectonic Line) and is given a name of Toham Basin. Neotectonically, Pliocene EW-transpression gave an effect of the top-up-to-the-west reverse faulting and the accompanied normal fault movement during the last interglacial age (ca. 100 ka). The basin is graben type, in which basin fills are composed of collapsed colluvial deposits, TF.

This study was undertaken to investigate paraquat-induced pulmonary injuries and effects of colchicine on pulmonary fibrosis by paraquat. Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were intraperitoneally injected 10 mg/kg of paraquat and repeatedly with 2 days interval. Another 15 rats were injected paraquat as same manner and simultaneously injected 10 mg/kg of colchicine in a week. Five rats in each group were sacrificed 1, 2, and 4 weeks after initial injections, and lungs extracted were observed by light and electron microscopes. On light microscopy, there was mild infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes in alveolar spaces and walls at 1 week after paraquat injection. The cellularity of alveolar wall was increased with time. However, the cellularity was not so prominent in paraquat and colchicine simultaneously injected group. On electron microscopy, there was marked swelling or excoriation of type I epithelial cells and alveolar capillary endothelium with infiltration of neutrophils, macrophages and monocytes, and lymphocytes in alveolar walls. Such findings were persisted with time. In addition, fibroblastic proliferation and deposition of collagen fibers were prominent at 4 weeks after paraquat injection. Fibrosis also occurred at 4 weeks after paraquat and colchicine simultaneous injection. It was not proninent than that of paraquat injected group. According to the above result, it would be concluded that the type I pneumocytes and alveolar capillary endothelial cells are most vulnerable on paraquat poisoning, and that the colchicine is effective on inhibition of paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
