This study reports a gneiss dome in the Hongseong area, southwestern margin of the Gyeonggi massif. This gneiss dome, named here as 'Oseosan dome' because it is located around the Oseosan, the highest peak along the western coastal area, is composed mainly of the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic ortho- and paragneiss, mafic metavolcanic rock, and metadolerite. Migmatization affected these rock units, in which leucocratic(granitic) materials derived from anatexis frequently occur as patch and vein parallel to or cutting through internal foliation. The Oseosan dome shows overall concentric geometry and outward-dipping internal foliation, but also partly complicatedly changeable or inward-dipping foliation. Taking available petrological and geochronological data into account, the Oseosan dome is interpreted to be exhumed quickly into the upper crustal level during the Late Triassic, accompanied in part with anatexis and granite intrusion. In addition, extensional shear zone intruded by the Late Triassic synkinematic granite and sedimentary basin have been reported around the Oseosan dome. These evidences possibly suggest that the Oseosan dome formed in closely associated with the Late Triassic extensional movement and diapiric flow. Alternatively, 1) thrust- or reverse fault-related doming or 2) interference between independent folds during structural inversion of the Late Traissic to Middle Jurassic sedimentary basin can be also considered as dome-forming process. However, considering the northern limb of the Oseosan dome, cutting by the Late Traissic granite, and the southern limb, cutting by contractional fault reactivated after the Middle Jurassic, it is likely that the domal structure formed during or prior to the Late Triassic.

The micropyles on the prefertilized and artificial fertilized eggs of Epinephelus fasciatus were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The micropyles ($6.6{\pm}0.41\;{\mu}m$) of E. fasciatus eggs were found in the animal pole and theirs shape were observed as a flat crateriform of cylindrical shape. The micropylar vestibule arranged by 6~7 thickened spiral annuli on the ridge and contributed to differentiate and form fertilization cone for blocking to polyspermy by presenting swollen vestibule structure. As E. fasciatus eggs was pelagic, so chorionic surface was an uneven structures such as circular and fillar form nodules. Especially, various pores (0.15~0.55 ${\mu}m$, 230~270 pores) distributed at the only around micropyles, those pores radiately exhibited regular projection structures showing gill filament-shape. These ultrastructural characters of E. fasciatus eggs can be utilized in a taxonomical cue of grouper species.

This study aims to reinvestigate the reason for introducing radian as a new unit to express the size of angles, what is the meaning of radian measures to use arc lengths as angle measures, and why is the domain of trigonometric functions expanded to real numbers for expressing general angles. For this purpose, it was conducted historical, mathematical and applied mathematical analyzes in order to research at multidisciplinary analysis of the radian concept. As a result, the following were revealed. First, radian measure is intrinsic essence in angle measure. The radian is itself, and theoretical absolute unit. The radian makes trigonometric functions as real functions. Second, radians should be aware of invariance through covariance of ratios and proportions in concentric circles. The orthogonality between cosine and sine gives a crucial inevitability to the radian. It should be aware that radian is the simplest standards for measuring the length of arcs by the length of radius. It can find the connection with sexadecimal method using the division strategy. Third, I revealed the necessity by distinction between angle and angle measure. It needs justification for omission of radians and multiplication relationship strategy between arc and radius. The didactical suggestions derived by these can reveal the usefulness and value of the radian concept and can contribute to the substantive teaching of radian measure.

Spatial variation of diffracting wave amplitudes along a semi-infinite breakwater is investigated using the analytical solution of Penney and Price (1952) for wave diffraction. On the front side of the breakwater, the fluctuation of wave amplitudes due to diffracting waves would cause a wave force greater than that of superposed incident and reflected waves. The diffracting wave phase varies in circular shape from the breakwater tip of (x, y) = (0, 0) whereas the incident and reflected wave phases vary in planar shape. So, the total wave amplitude of the incident (or reflected) waves and the diffracting waves would fluctuate at a position away from the energy discontinuity line. The position (x, y) = (0, y) on the front and lee sides of the breakwater is at a distance y(π/2 - β) of the point on the energy discontinuity line along the diffracting wave crest line. The degree of reduction of the diffraction wave energy is proportional to the distance from the point on the energy discontinuity line along the diffracting wave crest line. Therefore, the diffracting wave amplitudes on the front and lee sides of the breakwater would be inversely proportional to the square root of y(π/2 - β).

The Andong pluton in the Andong Batholith is composed of comagmatic plutonic rocks, in which the lithofacies comprise hornblende biotite tonalite in the central paft biotite granodiorite in the marginal paft and porphyritic biotite granite at the topside (noJthea~tern paft) of the pluton. The pluton is petrographically and petrochemically zoned, having more mafic center than margin and topside. Distribution pallern of the lithofacies represents a reverse zoning in the pluton. Modal and chemical data in the pluton show progressive and gradual compositional variations from the centrer via the margin to the topside. Quartz and K-teldspar increase toward the topside of the pluton, whereas hornblende, biotite and color index increase toward the center. The bulk composition in the pluton is also reversely zoned, with high $Si0_2$ and $K_{2}O$ in the topside facies, and high MnO, CaO, $Ti0_2$, $Fe_{2}O_{3}$t, MgO and $P_{2}O_{5}$ in the central facies. The reverse zoning is also evident in higher Cr. V, Ni, Sc and Sr of the more mafic tonalite in the interior. The reversely zoned pluton results from remobilization (resurgence) of the lower more mafic compositional zone into the upper more felsic zones of the pluton modified by thennogravitational diffusion and fractional crystallization. In the initial stages of evolution, the pluton was a petrochemical system that fonned chemical compositional zonation with mafic tonalitic magma in the lower. granodioritic one in the middle and granitic one in the upper paft of the magma chamber. Periodic influxes of more mafic magma from the ba~e resulted in mingling of liquids and redistribution of minerals, and may have triggered the remobilil.ation of the lower compositional zone into the upper more felsic zones.

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) fruit is one of the most important fruit and have been cultivated from ancient times in Korea. In this study, we found 16 EST-SSR markers that contained one or more EST-SSR sites from 246 cDNA sequences. The developing of EST-SSR marker analysis from 42 persimmon cultivars was compared by genetic relationships and morphological relationships using 6 qualitative traits (fruit related 6 traits) and 19 quantitative traits (flower related 19 traits). In this study, 25 primer sets were tested to identify PCR polymorphism and 14 potential EST-SSR primer pairs were selected. The result of morphological relationship EST-SSR marker analysis showed that the coefficient 0.02 was difficult to categorize in several groups. And then, coefficient 0.77 of genetic relationship showed that the group was classified as four groups. The result of correlation distance between genetic relationship and morphological relationship were investigated was low significance (-0.03). Our results also provided an optimized method for improvement of breeding efficiency and introduce of superior character at persimmon cultivars using EST-SSR markers which was useful for further investigation.

A small of carbonate rocks and spatially-associated ultramafic rocks uniquely occur in the ulsan iron-serpentine mine of the sourtheastern Kyungsang basin. The study of field geology, core drilling data and stable isotope analysis suggest that the carbonate rocks are carbonatite formed from the melt reflecting intrusive natures. Based on this study, the geology of the Ulsan iron-serpentinite mining area consists of Cretaceous sedimentary, volcanic, granitic ultramafic and carbonate rocks in ascending order. The carbonate and ultramafic rocks show concentric and ellipsoidal shapes at the outcrop and a funnel shape in the cross sectional view. Carbon and oxygen stable isotope analysis show a bimodal pattern rather than a typical mantle pattern, which may indicate that the melt was a secondary melt generated within the crus not in the mantle directly. The uprising of ultramafic melts would have melted lime-contained rocks forming a secondary carbonate melt in the upper crus. Then, the intrusion of the ultramafic melts would have melted lime-contained rocks forming a secondary carbonate melt in the upper crust. Then, the intrusion of the ultramafic melt was followed by the intrusion of the carbonate melt along deep-seated fractures. Well-developed major fractures in this area, fluid inclusion characteristics of the carbonate rocks, the spatial relation between the ultramafic and carbonate rocks and stable isotope data support interpreting the Ulsan carbonate rocks as carbonatite.

Seed morphological studies of 12 species of sect. Zygophyllidium and related Poinsettia using light and scanning electron microscopy were conducted to test the hypotheses of the sectional boundaries and species relationships. Characteristics of seeds, and the keys of identification of 12 species were presented. Seeds of 12 species were divided into 6 types based on the UPGMA tree from numerical analyses using nine seed characters. Type I, including E. uniglandulosa, is characterized by the foveolate seed with granulate testa cells. Type II, including species E. exstipulata, E. lagunensis, E. bilobata, E. hexagonoides and E. chersonesa, was recognized by the presence of inter-cellular granules among testa cells. Type III, including E. cyathophora, has a seed with acute apex, and concentric circles on the surface of testa cells. Type IV, including species of E. dentata and E. pentadactyla, has a seed with caruncle and lacking inter-cellular granules among testa cells. Type V, including E. hexagona, was characterized by the ovate seeds and lacking inter-cellular granules. Type VI, including E. eriantha and E. lacera, was recognized by the seeds with rectangular shape with caruncle. Based on the seed morphology, sect. Zygophyllidium should be defined only species with E. exstipulata, E. lagunensis, E. bilobata, E. hexagonoides and E. chersonesa. E. hexagona, traditionally included in this section, was closely related to E. dentata from Poinsettia.

Sialolith is one of the most common pathologic conditions found in the salivary glands. The mechanisms responsible for the formation of sialoliths have not been elucidated so far. In this article, the chemical composition and micromorphology of a sialolith of a 58-year old female patient suffering from chronic sialoadenitis of the submandibular gland was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). In a SEM evaluation, the highly mineralized amorphous core surrounded by lamellar and concentric structures was revealed, however no foreign body, organic material, or signs of microorganism were observed in the core of the sialolith. EDX analysis showed the central core was composed of only Ca, O and P, and that a high level of C was detected near the central area as well. These results indicated that the inorganic composition of the sialolith was hydroxyapatite crystals, and that inorganic and organic substances existed around the central cores. This study suggests that the sialolith was composed mainly of hydroxyapatite crystals and the formation of the nucleus of the sialolith in the submandibular gland duct was secondary to sialadenitis, which favors the growth of an inorganic crystalline nucleus.

In order to investigate an etiological characteristics of the pepper anthracnose fungus infected with Collectotrichum dematium, this experiment was undertaken. Isolation percent of the fungus was 55.3% from the seed sample of Jewon and 0.3% from that of Eumsung Kun, according to seed health blotter method. Although the acervulus was similar to the known two Colletotricum species, C. acutatum and C. gloeosporioides, setae was not only straightly extended above the acervulus, but also shaped as falcate conidia ranging $12{\sim}31.2{\times}2.4{\sim}4.8{\mu}m$. Acervului of the fungus were evenly scattered on the surface of pepper seed coat, and caused seedling blight after seed germination. Pre-and post-emergence seedling blight as well as foliar lesion and fruit rot was confirmed by inoculating conidial suspension. No typical anthracnose sysmptom was obtained from soybean seedlings, welsch onion and spinach seedlings upon inoculation. Therefore, this fungus is said to the undescribed form species of the fungus of pepper in Korea (Colletotricum dematium f. sp. capsicum).
