An efficient plant regeneration system of major cultivars of sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) in Korea via somatic embryogenesis was established. Embryogenic calli were formed from shoot apical meristems of sweetpotato cultivars when cultured on LS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L auxin (2,4-D, picloram, dicamba). Among three kinds of auxin, 1 mg/L 2,4-D showed the highest embryogenic calli induction rate. After 4 weeks of cultures on LS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L 2,4-D, embryogenic calli induction rates of Sinhwangmi, Zami, Yulmi, and White Star were 86%, 78%, 76%, and 80%, respectively. Upon transfer onto LS basal medium, most of somatic embryos developed into plantlets. Regenerated plantlets were transplanted to potting soil and grown to mature plants in a greenhouse.

Kiho Academic in the late Joseon Korea, the negative effect of the Horak debate is amplified and the division within the academic is accelerated. However, the scholars of the Kiho Academic field put forth efforts to unify the academics with the same sense of responsibility to end the schism. Nevertheless, the scholars of the Kiho Academic have shown various differences in the process of accepting Neo-Confucianism, which creates new schools. Therefore, Kiho Academic in the late Joseon Korea coexisted with various schools with different academy positions. Some of the representative groups are Hwaseo, Nosa, Ganjae, Yeonjae, and Uuidang Schools. In addition, through the scholarly differentiation and the school division of the Kiho Academic, the debate on the mind that characterizes Neo-Confucianism of the late Joseon Korea has developed. However, there was a common value that everyone pursued in the middle of the debate: the construction of a moral ideal society, the ultimate goal of Neo-Confucianism. In conclusion, though the purpose they pursued was not fulfilled, it can be seen from the debate on the mind that they fiercely demanded that these requests were urgent in the late Joseon Korea This paper, therefore, the situation of the Kiho academic in the late of Joseon Korea, the problem consciousness of the scholars of the Kiho academic, and the issue and development of debate on the mind.

On December 9, 2016, the decision of impeachment of the National Assembly decided against Park Geun-hye came from the nomination conflicts of the 20th general election between Pro-Park group and Anti-Park group at the ruling Saenuri Party. Therefore, this study focused on the nomination conflicts of the ruling party and the opposition party on the election results in the 20th general election on the public sentiment of the people. The nomination conflicts of the ruling and opposite parties were a prelude to the victory of the 19th presidential election, and it was serious faction conflict. Firstly, the study examined how the nomination conflicts of each party were centered on President Park Geun-hye as well as the leaders of each party and the chairman of the nomination committee. Secondly, the study examined what kind of changes would be made to the composition of presidential candidates for each party at the time of the presidential election. Thirdly, the study examined the opposition parties' separation between the Minjoo Party of Korea and the People's Party of Korea before and after the election and the issue of initiative in Honam. As a result of the analysis, the 20th general election failed to obtain a majority seat of the ruling Saenuri Party, and the opposition won and formed the majority. The reason why President Park and Saenuri were greatly defeated in the contest even in the situation where the opposition parties were divided is the root cause in the attitude of Pro-Park group and Anti-Park group who assumed their victory. Therefore, it is highly possible to render its responsibility to President Park Geun-hye, who has become a 'past power', and it has opened up the possibility that the emergence of future power by opposition parties. In the case of the opposition party, it is clear that the battle for Honam, which is a traditional opposition party's support group, is a matter of good fortune of the two major powers, Moon Jae In and Ahn Cheol Soo.

Early development Linuparus trigonus(von Siebold) has been studied based on the samples collected monthly in Je-ju Island, Korea from February, 1975 to January, 1977. Gametogenesis, reproductive cycle, embryonic development were investigated by histological mettled, and morphological description was made on the first phyllosoma larva which reared in the laboratory. Testis is composed of two tubular duct which are symmetrical with H-shaped appearance. Outer layer of testis is of fibrous connective tissue capsule. In the lumen there is a convoluted seminiferous tubule with interstitial tissue. Ovary is a pair of symmetrical blind tubular lobes, and the midportions are connected each other. The ovary consists of a couple of ovarian sacs partitioned by two-layered connective tissue fibers. Proliferation of spermatogonia are observed all the year around on the germinal epithelium of seminiferous tubule. Partial spermatogenesis is always in progress, and the spermatozoa appear all the year around in the tubules. Nutrition of early oogonia is supplied by fibrous mesenchyme which is abundantly distributed in ovarian sacs. Oocytes grow and couplete maturation divisions in the follicle layers. They finally develop into mature ova before spawning. Reproductive cycle is classified into four successive stages; multiplication stage from September to December, growing stage from January to March, maturation division stage from April to May and mature stage from June to August. Spawning takes place from May to August with peak spawning from Into July to early August. Cleavage type is superficial. Blastopore is formed in blasto-disc region which is proliferation of blastoderm cells. Germinal layers are also derived from tile region. Mesoderm formation is originated from endodermal cells which are formed front the blasto-disc region. The endodermal cells are separated by the process of delamination from yolk sac and take part in the formation of the mid-gut. Morphological characteristics of first phyllosoma larva are different from the larvae of other Palinurid and Scyllarid species.

Up until the early twentieth century in Germany, there were two research trends: 1) emphasizing objectives and making detailed observations of archaeological artifacts and sites, 2) tracing the remains of specific nations or ethnic groups and defining their temporal-spatial boundaries by conducting research on material culture in terms of nationalism or ethnocentrism. After the Second World War ended and Germany was divided, West German archaeology focused on observations of artifacts and sites, cataloging them, and doing research on chronology and distribution following their own traditional methodologies. East German archaeology attempted to prove the developing process of history and its Marxist principles based upon material culture and to examine the historic value of inherent specific cultural heritage based on criteria regarding how it corresponded to socialism and contributed to the development of socialism. Nevertheless, East and West German archaeology shared traditional archaeological methods inherited from German archaeology since the nineteenth century, and contact between archaeologists in West and East Germany continued to a degree. Furthermore, East German archaeology produced significant archaeological achievements acknowledged by West German and European archaeologists. These facts provided the momentum to complete rapid incorporation of the archaeologies of West and East Germany in spite of a one-sided process imposed by West German archaeology. In the case of Korea, it seems necessary to make an effort to share common research history and traditions and to encourage mutual academic exchange (e.g. joint excavation and archaeological research). Furthermore, it is also imperative to have open-minded attitudes toward accepting substantial results and interpretations achieved by North Korean archaeologists under scrutiny when and where necessary, despite seeming to have been fossilized by Marxism and Juche ideology. Any efforts to narrow the gap in archaeological research and conservation of cultural heritage between the archaeologies of South and North Korea should be made immediately. The case of Germany demonstrates how such a project could proceed efficaciously.

The influence of cool temperature occurred during the booting stage in 1993 on quality of rice grain was compared with that in favorable weather of 1994. The mean and minimum air temperatures during the reproductive growth stage at the paddy field of Jinbu Substation, National Crop Experiment Station were 2.2~7.4$^{\circ}C$ and 2.0~8.9$^{\circ}C$ lower respectively in 1993 compared to those of 1994. Grain fertility and brown rice yield were 11.8％ and 0.4t /ha, and 84.3％ and 5.5t /ha in 1993 and 1994, respectively. There was no difference in amylose content between two years. However, protein content of brown rice in 1994 were 1.6％ lower than that of 1993. There was no difference in alkali digestion value of milled rice between two years. Gel consistency of rice flour was 45mm in 1993 and 59mm in 1994. Amylogram characteristics of rice flour produced in 1993 showed lower peak hot, cool, and breakdown viscosities, and higher consistency and setback viscosities. The palatability of cooked rice by sensory panel test was considerably better in 1994 rice than in the rice of cool year.

우리에게 잘 알려져 있지 않은 강장동물 히드라는 뛰어난 세포 분열 능력을 가지고 있다. 출아(무성생식)를 하면서도 환경에 따라 유성생식을 하기도 하는 몇 안 되는 생물 중 하나인 히드라는 재생능력이 강하여 몸의 200분의 1만 잘려도 재생을 할 수 있는 능력을 가지고 있다. 이러한 히드라의 재생능력을 높은 에너지인 플라즈마에 노출시켜 보았다. 플라즈마는 열, 빛, 화학 활성종, 이온, 전자를 발생하며 이 중 열 및 화학적 자극을 중심으로 관찰하였다. 생물이 수용할 수 있는 열에너지를 넘게 받는다면 그 성질이 변하는 점을 이용해 액체 방전소스를 이용하여 플라즈마의 열적인 효과를 주었고, DBD소스로는 약 염기를 띠는 라디칼(활성종)용액을 배양액으로 만들어 히드라에게 배양시켜 히드라의 생장능력 변화를 알아보았다. 생장능력의 변화는 히드라의 개체 수를 통해 관찰하였다. 플라즈마를 발생시키는 소스는 다양하며 그 중 이번 실험에서는 액체 방전 소스와 DBD를 이용하였다. 액체방전 소스는 누전을 막기 위해 세라믹 관에 금속선을 넣어 고전압을 인가하여 방전하였고, DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge의 약어)는 유전체 장벽을 이용하여 기체를 방전시키는 방식이다. DBD는 주로 살균 용도로 연구 중이며, DBD는 주변 기체들을 반응시켜 라디칼을 상당히 만들어 낼 수가 있다. 한편, 생물학에서 주목 받고 있는 히드라는 200분의 1만 잘려도 재생이 되는 재생능력을 갖고 있다. 히드라의 이러한 생장 및 재생속도는 생체모방 기술로도 주목을 받고 있다. 이번 실험은 최근 연구되고 있는 플라즈마의 효과를 히드라에 적용한 것으로 플라즈마의 간접적인 영향이 히드라에 어떠한 영향을 줄 것인지 알아보았다. 간접적인 영향으로는 크게 열적인 요인과 화학적인 요인으로 나누어 관찰하였다. 실험을 통해 히드라의 변화를 알아보고 그 결과가 실용가능한지를 알아보고자 한다.

Since lectin condense more easily cancer cell than normal cell, it has been investigated very actively. Recently, a lot of researchers gave attention to lectin in natural products especially because lectin has effects on T-cell activation and anticancer activity, and specificity on polysaccharide. The specificity is useful to confirm kind of polysaccharide of the cell surface and to study the polysaccharide. In this research, we purified lectin from shiitake, Lentinula edodes, and then characterized it. The molecular weight of the lectin was 23 kDa, and it was stable only under the $40^{\circ}C$ and in a alkaline solution. As for the specificity of polysaccharide, the lectin had specificity on galactose, fucose, glucose, lactose and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. In addition, it was confirmed to be a glycoprotein.

The singularities of differential Newtonian equation of motion in three body problem cause the loss of accuracy and the considerable increase of the computer time. These singularities could be eliminated during the process of regularization to transform the independent variables and the coordinate of Newtonian equations of motion. In this study, we calculated the positions and velocities of three body along the time scale to find out the unique solution of regularized Newtonian equations of motion with the $5^{th}$ order Runge-Kutta method by assuming the suitable initial velocities and positions. As the results of these calculations it is shown that the tripe stellar system eventually distintegrated, two of them formed a binary, and the last one escaped from this system with a hyperbolic orbit. This may suggest one possible explanation for the binary formation.

Nuclear Transplantation between Rana pipiens and Rana dybowskii When diploid blastula nuclei of Rana pipiens are traraplanted into enucleated eggs of Rana dybowskii the resulting nucleocytoplasmic hybrids are lethal-those development were arrested around the stage of the dorsal lip formation For the improvement of developmental capacity, serial nuclear transplantation was carried out. Even though serial transplantation of 15 generations showed normal development in each generation until gastrula stage, there was no sign of fundamental improvement in development afterward. This results implied that up to gastrulation normal DNA replication and cell division can take place in foreign cytoplasm. Since chromosomal aberrations both in shape and number were usually observed, the nuclei must have been modifted while resided in the foreign cytoplasm. Those nuclei didn't participate in normal development and led the embryos to early death. Tissue graft experiment indicated that the abnormal behavior of this lethal nucleocytoplasmic hybrid is an inherent property which is not corrected by the contact with its own tissue.
