It was revaluated about taxonomic position of Bupleurum latissimum Nakai (Apiaceae) by the cluster analysis, the principal component analysis, and the discriminant analysis. Its diagnostic characteristics include bracteole length longer than umbellules, 16-21 pedicel numbers, plant with evergreen leaves, chromosome number 2n = 16 and cauline leaves with auriculate base. It is morphologically similar to B. euphorbioides in having ovate bracteoles, 16-21 pedicel numbers, chromosome number 2n = 16, and cauline leaves with auriculate base, but distinguished from B. longiradiatum with having linear bracteoles, 7-15 pedicel numbers, and chromosome number 2n = 12. Morphological characters support that Bupleurum latissimum Nakai is a Korean endemic species.

Morphological variation of Quercus L. subgen. Quercus in Korea was examined by numerical methods including principal components analysis of major morphological characters. Principal components analysis revealed the presence of five major species groups of the subgen. Quercus in Korea; these include 1) a group consisiting of Q. acutissima and Q. variabilis individuals, 2) Q. dentata, 3) Q. aliena, 4) Q. mongolica, and 5) Q. serrata. The putative interspecific hybrid individuals occupied intermediate position between the putative parent species in the PCA plot. The analysis also strongly suggested that size and shape of leaf blade and teeth or lobes, twig diameter, size and shape of nuts, and length and width of scales are very useful in distinguishing the species and the putative hybrids of the subgen. Quercus.

We conducted principal component analyses using the quantitative characteristics of the genus Sorbaria to investigate and explore morphological variation and diagnostic characteristics. The genus Sorbaria was divided into two groups based on erect or pendulous inflorescence, the existence of hairs on the ovary and follicle surfaces, the number of stamens, and the shape of the sepal. As a result of our investigation and of a morphometric analysis, these two groups could be also classified using quantitative characteristics, in this case the number of leaflets, the size of the leaflets, the width of the inflorescence, the size of the sepal, the petal, and the follicles and seeds. In the Sorbifolia group (S. grandiflora and S. sorbifolia complex), the size of lateral leaflets, number of veins, gland and stellate density on the abaxial surface of leaflets, and the petal and follicle size were found to be useful identification characteristics. The terminal and lateral leaflet size and the gland and stellate density on the abaxial surface of the leaflets were found to be characters of taxonomic value for the Kirilowii group (S. arborea complex, S. kirilowii, and S. tomentosa complex). The results of the numerical analysis conducted here can provide valuable information to those reconsidering and delimiting a taxonomic revision of the genus Sorbaria.

It is necessary to induce for using mass transit instead of passenger car, which is high occupied roadway. It is necessary to develop the automated enforcement system to do manage such things. There are lots of problems to enforce the exclusive roadway. One of the biggest problem is the difficulty of vehicle classification. In this paper, morphological vehicle classification algorithm is proposed. Vehicle object is separated from background using frame difference, then the proposed unique weighted skeleton feature is extracted. The experiments show that the vehicle identification results produced by weighted skeleton feature seem to be good quality.

Numerical analyses using 28 morphological characters from 14 populations of four Korean Orostachys species were conducted to investigate infra-specific variation and to test species relationships. The resulting phenogram recognized three distinct clusters, and the populations of O. malacophyllus, O. iwarenge and O. minutus were closely related each other. The populations of O. japonicus from Gaeksanri (I) and Gadeuk-do were isolated from the remaining populations of the species, and it suggests that the ranges of morphological variation within the species are significant, and related to the previous cytological variation. The Jungdongjin population of O. malacophyllus was not grouped together with the same species, but was clustered with the populations of the O. japonicus, and suggested that it seems to be an unrelated population in O. malacophyllus. The results of the PCA analysis recognized two distinct groups: the populations of O. japonicus and remaining species populations. The populations of O. malacophyllus, O. minutus and O. iwarenge placed within the closely related species.

The hypotrichous ciliates (Protozoa , Ciliophora, Hypotrichida) inhabiting the Han River in Seoul were systematically investigated. Several Collections were made from 6 November 1986 to 8 November 1987 at 9 sites located in the Han River. Collected protozoans were cultured and characterized cyto-morphologically under the living and/or stained conditions, As a result, 7 species of hypotrichs in 4 families were identified of which 3 species are newly recorded from Korea ; Paraurostyla weissei (Stein, 1859_, Aspidisca cicada(O.F. Mller, 1786) and Euplotes patella (O.f.Mller, 1773). The identified species were redescribed with illustrations and photographs. The morphological similarities among them were numerically analyzed by UPGMA method, and its result of clustering concurs in general with the orthodox classification scheme.

The forest vegetation in Mts. Ilwol, Chongryang, Milim, Honglim, Yongdung, Agi and 607 m peak of the northen part of Kyungpook province, Korea was classified and described in terms of the physiognomy and numerical syntaxonomy. The forest was divided into the ten communities belonging to the three groups by the species combination of the tree layer based on their dominances. The three groups also were corresponded well with the result of cluster analysis. But the classification by TWINSPAN showed that the vegetation was divided into only two groups for having any ecological senses. A result of DCA was corresponded closely with that of TWINSPAN and explained some environmental factors. From the above results, it is concluded that the classification by the species combination of the tree layer is also applicable to the classification of plant communities. The above results were compared with the existing study results of the ZM phytosociology.

하천 내에서 하상변동은 치수나 생태계에 직간접적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하상변동의 예측을 위한 여러 가지 모델들이 존재하지만 하상변동의 양상을 직관적으로 파악하기에는 어려움이 있다. 최근 수행된 연구 결과에 따르면 하천의 수리 기하학적 형상이 부유사 농도와 유량과의 관계와 관련이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다(Kim et al., 2018). 본 연구에서는 수리기하(Hydraulic Geometry) 이론을 이용하여 하천의 형상에 따른 유사거동과의 상관관계를 통해서 하상의 장기적 변동성을 직관적으로 유추할 수 있는 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 수리기하 이론에서의 수심과 폭을 나타내는 인자들을 이용하여 하천의 형상을 넓고 얕은 하천, 좁고 깊은 하천, 중간 정도의 하천으로 분류하였으며 흐름조건을 정상류와 부정류조건으로 분류하였다. 또한 하상경사와 하상재료의 입경 분포를 고려하여 자연하천에서 존재할 수 있는 다양한 하천형상에 대해 수치모의를 진행하였다. 기존의 Manning 공식에 수심, 유속만 고려한 것이 아닌 조도계수까지 고려하여 수리기하 이론을 접목시킴으로서 유속과 수심의 수리기하적 인자로 계산된 하상전단력의 수리기하적 인자가 수치모의를 통해 구한 값과 거의 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 하천의 형상이 넓고 얕을수록 수리기하 관계로 표현한 하상전단력 인자가 작은 값을 나타냈으며 수리기하 관계로 표현한 부유사농도인자와 하상전단력 인자가 비슷한 양상을 띄는 것이 확인되었다. 이를 통해 하천이 기하학적 형상으로부터 하상의 변동성을 유추할 수 있었다. 실제 하천에 대한 검증은 금강 수계에 있는 미호천과 갑천을 대상으로 수행하였다. 수리기하적으로 표현하였을때 갑천은 미호천에 비해 넓고 얕은 하천에 속하는데 현재까지 관측된 자료를 이용하여 두 하천의 하상변동량을 비교해본 결과 갑천이 미호천에 비해 변동량이 적었으며 이는 위의 내용과 일치한 결과를 나타냈다.

하천 내에서 하상변동은 치수나 생태계에 직간접적인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하상변동의 예측을 위한 여러 가지 모델들이 존재하지만 하상변동의 양상을 직관적으로 파악하기에는 어려움이 있다. 최근 수행된 연구결과에 따르면 하천의 수리 기하학적 형상이 부유사 농도와 유량과의 관계와 관련이 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다(Kim et al., 2018). 본 연구에서는 하상변동과 부유사의 농도를 밀접한 관련이 있다고 가정하여 수리기하(Hydraulic Geometry) 이론을 이용하여 하상변동의 경향성을 표현하여 하상변동의 경향성을 직관적으로 유추할 수 있는 기법을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 하상변동을 수리기하적표현을 이용하여 해석적으로 제시하였고 수치모의를 실시하였으며 실제 자연하천에 대해 검증을 수행하였다. 수치모의는 자연에 존재할 수 있는 다양한 하천형상을 표현하기 위해 수리기하 이론에서의 수심과 폭을 나타내는 인자들을 이용하여 하천의 형상을 넓고 얕은 하천, 좁고 깊은 하천, 중간 정도의 하천으로 분류하였으며 흐름조건을 정상류와 부정류조건으로 분류하였다. 또한 하상경사와 하상재료의 입경분포를 고려하였다. 그리고 실제 하천에 대한 검증은 대한민국에 존재하는 갑천, 미호천, 남강, 임진강, 원주천, 금호강의 하상변동 자료를 이용하여 실시하였다. 하상변동의 경향성을 직관적으로 표현하기 위해 Manning 공식을 이용하여 하상전단력의 수리기하 지수를 수심, 유속, 조도계수의 수리기하지수들로 표현하였다.
