Light and transmission electron microscopy of Batillus cornutus hemocytes revealed differences that the morphological distinctions between blast-like cell, granulocytes and hyalinocytes. Base on the morphological characteristics of the cells, we identified the eight types of hemocytes and present a categorization of the hyalinocytes into six sub-categories. The hemocytes of B. cornutus were observed basophilic cell under the light microscopy. Blast-like cells had a spherical profile with a central nucleus filling almost the whole cell. Granulocytes were characterized by presenting variable numbers of granules. This cell had spherical shape with diameter 7 ${\mu}m$ and smooth endoplasmic reticula, granules, mitochondria, glycogen granules in the cytoplasm. Hyalinocytes were the most abundant cell type. Especially, hyalinocyte VI had iirregular an amoebal shape and observed autophagosome and heterophagosome in the cytoplasm. From these results, it is concluded that there are eight types of cells in the hemolymph of B. cornutus. Further studies are now needed to identify the role of these hemocytes in the enzymological and immunological response.

Malate dehydrogenase in the mosquito ovary after a blood meal, Aedes aegypti, was purified and characterized. MDH purification steps involved DEAE-Sepharose, S-Sepharose and Cibacron blue affinity chromatography. The purified MDH was 70,000 daltons in molecular weight and was a homodimer consisting of tow identical subunits. Optimal activity of purified MDH was obtained pH 9.0-9.2 in malate-oxaloacetate reaction and pH 9.8-10.2, in oxaloactate-malate reaction. With obtained pH 9.0-92 in malate-oxaloacetate reaction and pH 9.8-10.2, in oxaloactate-malate reaction. With malate as substrate, purified mitochondrial MDH (1.28$\times$${10}^{-4}$ M) had lower Km value than cytoplasmic MDH (8.92x${10}^{-3}$ M). MDH activity was inhibited by citrate, $\alpha$-ketoglutarate, and ATP. Inhibition of MDH activity by ATP and citrate was less in malate-oxaloacetate reaction and in oxaloacetate-malate reaction. MDH activity was completely inhibited by ATP in oxaloacetate-malate reaction and not inhibited by citrate in malate-oxaloacetate reaction. Temporal activity change of MDH is similar to that of isocitrate dehydrogenase in the ovary after blood feeding; their activities in the ovary began to rise at 18 hours after a blood meal, and reached at the maximal level at 48 hours.

Geophysical survey was carried out to derive some information on the existence of near-surface anomalous body at Reung-Chi area in Kongju. Resistivity, seismic, magnetic and gravity method were applied. Geophysical survey that was applied was the electrical resistivity survey, seismic survey, magnetic survey, gravity survey. These surveys are analyzed to provide data of high resolution. As a result of analysis of resistivity survey, anomalies showing high resistivity anomaly than around appeared, and the one showing M-shape out of those explains the possibility that underground common or other underground structure or geographical anomalous zone could exist in the underground. As a result of analysis of seismic survey, it is clear that the low velocity layer is spread as far as the bottom of the underground. It is possible to presume that it is a phenomenon appearing while going through the underground space where it is lying in the underground. Area that shows unusual situation in interpretation of data on seismic waves are included into the area that once showed resistivity anomaly, the results of both seismic surveys come in accord. As a result of magnetic survey, a circle-shape of twin magnetic fields in the area where abnormalities are shown between electrical resistivity survey and seismic survey is appeared. Given the area of gravity survey, abnormalities whose density is different from the one around the bottom of the underground. As a result of analogizing the data of underground of the subsurface based on analysis of data from each survey, it was interpreted that anomalous zone exists commonly in the research areas.

The geologic structure of the Cheju volcanic island has been investigated by analyzing the gravity and magnetic data. Bouguer gravity map shows apparent circular low anomalies at the central volacanic edifice, and the maximum difference of the anomaly values on the island appears to be 30 mgal. The subsurface structure of the island is modeled by three-dimensional depth inversion of gravity data by assuming the model consists of a stacked grid of rectangular prisms of volcanic rocks bounded below by basement rocks. The gravity modeling reveals that the interface between upper volvanic rocks and underlying basement warps downward under Mt. Halla with the maximum depth of 5 km. Magnetic data involve aeromagnetic and surface magnetic survey data. Both magnetic anomaly maps show characteristic features which resemble the typical pattern of total magnetic anomalies caused by a magnetic body magnetized in the direction of the geomagnetic field in the middle latitude region, though details of two maps are somewhat different. The reduced-to-pole magnetic anomaly maps reveal that main magnetic sources in the island are rift zones and the Halla volcanic edifice. The apparent magnetic boundaries inferred by the method of Cordell and Grauch (1985) are relatively well matched with known geologic boundaries such as that of Pyosunri basalt and Sihungri basalt which form the latest erupted masses. Inversion of aeromagnetic data was conducted with two variables: depth and susceptibility. The inversion results show high susceptibility bodies in rift zones along the long axis of the island, and at the central volcano. Depths to the basement are 1.5~3 km under the major axis, 1~1.5 km under the lava plateau and culminates at about 5 km under Mt. Halla. The prominent anomalies showing N-S trending appear in the eastern part of both gravity and magnetic maps. It is speculated that this trend may be associated with an undefined fault developed across the rift zones.

Studies of non-cage or alternative systems have been discussing in EU because the EU has banned use of conventional cages for laying hens since 2012. This survey was carried out the information related to laying hens' welfare in Korea. Laying hens' breeding systems divided into deep litter, free range and alternative system, and livestock housings divided into windowless housing and open-type housing. The ratios of trough and bell feeder types were 37.5% and 62.5%, respectively. The ratios of nipple, trough, and bucket in waterer types 75%, 12.5%, and 12.5%, respectively. What stocking density is the most appropriate for production and welfare has been aroused. All laying hen farms met the required standards of stocking density ranged from 3.4 birds/$m^2$ to 7.6 birds/$m^2$ in this survey. According to welfare standards for laying hens, perch length should not be less than 15 cm. However, most laying hen farms did not satisfied the standards. We believe that presentdata contribute to develop alternative systems and to improve animal welfare in Korea.

Cooking oil and yolk mixture (COY), a environmentally acceptable plant protection agent, and COY+$CaCO_3$+neem oil mixture were studied to control the powdery mildew occurring on eggplant, paprika, cherry tomato and maturity tomato in glass houses and vinyl houses during 2005 to 2007. The morphological changes of the pathogenic fungi on the leaf surface before and after treatment of COY were observed. COY made of rape seed oil and COY+$CaCO_3$+neem oil mixture were sprayed three times with 5 days interval to foliar parts of eggplant, paprika and tomato and the disease development were examined 5 days after final spray. In eggplant, the control efficacy of COY to powdery mildew was 94.6%. In paprika, the control efficacy of COY to powdery mildew was 91.6% and that of COY+$CaCO_3$+neem oil mixture was 96.2% that revealed little higher than COY itself. In tomatoes(cherry or maturity tomato), the control efficacy of COY were about 91 %, however, when COY mixture were sprayed to tomato leaves and stems the powdery mildew was controlled completely. Typical and healthy mycelia, conidiophores and condia were observed through scanning electron microscope in COY unsprayed leaf surface, on the other hand destroyed and winkled mycelia and conidiophores were observed in COY treated leaves regardless host plants nor taxonomic differences of fungi.

"Banchandeungsok" is recipe book written by a woman from a noble family who lived in Cheongju during the late 1900s. The book has 9 among 46 Kimchi recipes. In this study, the literatures from 1700 to 1900s, "Jeungbosanlimkyeongje", "Gyuhapchongseo", "Siuijeonseo", "Buinpilji", "Bogamrok", and "Josenmussangsinsikyorijebeob" were reviewed to examine the significance of "Banchandeungsok" Kimchi in the aspect of food culture. The results are as follows. "Banchandeungsok" Kimchies were considered as typical type of Kimchi of the late Joseon, and the main ingredients include Chinese cabbage, white radish, and cucumber. Salted-fish juice was not used for making Mukimchi, Bachujjanji, Jjanji in "Banchandeungsok", and gallic, ginger, green onion were used as main spice. Therefore, "Banchandeungsok" Kimchies belongs to Damjeo (light salting) type, which is characterized by light and clear flavor of present Cheongju Kimchi. While salted-fish juice was not used for "Banchandeungsok" Kimchies, yellow corbina was used in the most of "Banchandeungsok" Kimchies. Various forms of pepper were used in "Banchandeungsok" Kimchies - green pepper, peper leaf, minced, sliced shredded and powdered red pepper. Two kinds of Kkakdugi were introduced in "Banchandeungsok", which is the first record in the literatures. A typical type of stuffed cucumber pickles and unique type of cucumber Kimchi appeared in "Banchandeungsok".

In this paper, the high gain and broadband antenna operating for SDMB(Satellite Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) system is realized, The proposed antenna consists of the SAP(Shorted Annular Patch) structure, which inhibits surface-wave and the parasitic SAP element with spacing of $0.25 {\lambda}_0$ in order to improve gain, bandwidth and directivity. The RHCP(Right Hand Circular Polarization) is generated by two slits, which are made along the periphery of the circular patch at the diametrically opposite points, The simulated maximum gain of the proposed antenna is 12.6 dBi, which is better 5.22 dBi than maximum gain of the conventional microstrip patch antenna. The measured maximum gain is 10.5dBi at operating frequency 2.63GHz. Also, the measured impedance bandwidth$(VSWR{\leq}2)$ of the proposed antenna is $360MHz(2.488{\sim}2.848 GHz)$, which is better 300 MHz than the bandwidth of the conventional microstrip patch antenna. The measured HPBW(Half Power Beam Width) of the proposed antenna is $45.8^{\circ}$, and the measured FBR(Front to Back Ratio) is 15.49 dBi, The 3dB axial ratio bandwidth is 220 MHz$(2.54{\sim}2.76 GHz)$.
