The occurrence and the host plants of Arboridia kakogawana and A. maculifrons in the province of Chungcheonbuk-Do were observed. They started to infest grapevine in a vineyard in early May and reached peak population two times once in late June and once in mid August in general. In preparation for overwinter, A. kakogawana moved to the nearby forest in search of a tree with bark from early October. A. maculifrons also moved to the weeds on the ridge of vineyard circumferences from the end of September. Population density of the two species were found to be the highest in Okcheon county among the five counties of Chungbuk province. Developmental period of A. kakogawana was shorter than that of A. maculifrons.

The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the breeding call characteristics of cicada species found in urban and forest areas in the central region of Korea by examining the interspecific effects and environmental factors affecting the breeding calls and breeding call patterns. The selected research sites were Gyungnam Apartment in Bangbae-dong, Seoul for the urban area and Chiak Mountain National Park in Wonju for the forest area. The research method for both sites was to record cicada breeding calls for 24 hours with a recorder installed at the site and analyze the results. Data from the Korea Meteorological Administration were used for environmental factors. The research period was from June 19, 2017 to September 30, 2017. As a result of the study, there were differences in the emergence of species between the two research sites: while Platypleura kaempferi, Hyalessa fuscata, Meimuna opalifera, Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata, and Suisha coreana were observed at both sites, Cryptotympana atrata was observed in the urban area and Leptosemia takanonis in the forest area only. The emergence periods of cicadas at the two sites were also different. The activities of P. kaempferi and L. takanonis were noticeable in the forest area. In the urban area, however, L. takanonis was not observed and the duration of activity of P. kaempferi was short. In the urban area, C. atrata appeared and sang for a long period; H. fuscata, M. opalifera, and G. nigrofuscata appeared earlier than in the forest area. S. coreana appeared earlier in the forest area than in the urban area. According to the daily call cycle analysis, even cospecific cicada showed a wide variation in their daily cycle depending on the region and the interspecific effects between different cicadas, and the environmental differences between the urban and forest areas affected the calls of cicadas. The results of correlation analysis between each cicada breeding calls and environmental factors of each site showed positive correlation with average temperature of most cicadas except P. kaempferi and C. atrata. The same species of each site showed positive correlations with more diverse weather factors such as solar irradiance. Logistic regression analysis showed that cicadas with overlapping calling times had significant effects on each other's breeding calls. C. atrata, which appeared only in the urban area, had a positive effect on the calling frequency of H. fuscata, M. opalifera, and G. nigrofuscata, which called in the same period. Additionally, L. takanonis, which appeared only in the forest area, and P. kaempferi had a positive effect on each other, and M. opalifera had a positive effect on the calling frequency of H. fuscata and G. nigrofuscata in the forest area. For the environmental factors, the calling frequency of cicadas was affected by the average temperatures of the urban and forest areas, and cicadas that appeared in the forest area were also affected by the amount of solar radiation. According to the results of statistical analysis, urban cicadas with similar activity periods are influenced by species, especially with respect to urban dominant species, C. atrata. Forest cicadas were influenced by species, mainly M. opalifera, which is a forest dominant species. The results of the meteorological impact analysis were similar to those of the correlation analysis, and were influenced mainly by the temperature, and the influence of the insolation was more increased in the forests.

This experiment was performed to find out the effects of the cicadas' songs on the psychological responses in adolescents. As a basic coulee, the experiment to set up 'Acceptable & Unacceptable' was performed. As a further coulee, five kinds of the cicadas' songs heard frequently were analyzed and adjectives expressing the feeling to cicadas' songs were factor-analyzed, and psychological responses to auditory sensations were analyzed through regression equations. As a result, the effect of the Cryptotympana atrata's song, the Meimuna opalifera's song and the traffic noise are similar in the degree of disturbing the meditation but they are less disturbing than the white noise. The experiment for adjectives expressing was performed, because it is possible that cicadas' songs affect adolescents as a noise. Cicadas' songs can be expressed with three kinds of factors. First factor is [Annoyance], second factor is [Strength] and third factor is [Rhythm]. The first factor dominates in the songs of the Cryptotympana atrata and the Platypleura kaempferi who generate steady sound, and the third factor dominates in the songs of the Meimuna opalifera, the Leptosemia takanonis and the Oncotympana fuscata who generate fluctuating sounds. The loudness of sound didn't affect on the third factor but the emotional values of the fist and the second factors are linearly proportional to the loudness. The analysis results of the first factor associated with noise showed that the annoyance of adolescents is increased in the order of white noise - the Platypleura kaempferi - the Cryptotympana atrata, if the loudness of sounds are generated equally.

The purpose of this study is to observe the period of mating calls of cicadas in South Korea to identify the emergence period and geographic distribution for each cicada species. The study sites were 19 protection areas nationwide. The mating calls of cicadas were collected over the 12 months of 2019. A bioacoustics measuring device was installed to record the mating calls of cicadas in WAV, 44,100Hz format for 1 minute every hour. The temperature was recorded once or twice every hour using a micro-meteorological measuring device. Nine species of Korean cicadinae were studied. The start and end periods of mating calls were recorded for each cicada species for the subsequent analysis. The analysis results showed that nine cicada species appeared in the 19 protection areas. The chronological order of mating call periods for each species was as follows: Cryptotympana atrata (7/12 - 9/30), Meimuna opalifera (7/27 - 10/20), Hyalessa fuscata (7/25 - 10/9), Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata (7/28 - 9/5), Platypleura kaempferi (7/3 - 9/29), Suisha coreana (9/14 - 10/30), Leptosemia takanonis (6/26 - 8/2), Auritibicen intermedius (7/27 - 9/28), and Meimuna mongolica (8/8 - 9/11). The mating call period was between 35 (Meimuna mongolica) and 89 (Platypleura kaempferi) days, with the average being 62 days. The elevation above sea level for the habitats of each species was as follows: 5 - 386 m for Cryptotympana atrata, 7 - 759 m for Meimuna opalifera, 7 - 967 m for Hyalessa fuscata, 42 - 700m for Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata, 7 - 700 m for Platypleura kaempferi, 5 - 759 m for Suisha coreana, 7 - 759 m for Leptosemia takanonis, 397 - 967 m for Auritibicen intermedius, and 7 - 42 m for Meimuna mongolica. The average temperature of the habitats of each species was as follows: 23.9℃ for Cryptotympana atrata, 21.8℃ for Meimuna opalifera, 22℃ for Hyalessa fuscata, 23℃ for Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata, 22.9℃ for Platypleura kaempferi, 14.6℃ for Suisha coreana, 20.6℃ for Leptosemia takanonis, 19.3℃ for Auritibicen intermedius, and 24.4℃ for Meimuna mongolica. In terms of the habitat distribution of species, Meimuna opalifera, Hyalessa fuscata, and Platypleura kaempferi were distributed in more than 15 protection sites. Cryptotympana atrata was distributed in the lowlands in the southwest. Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata was distributed in the western area of the Korean Peninsula. Suisha coreana was distributed in areas excluding high mountain areas and parts of the southeast area. Leptosemia takanonis was distributed in areas near the mountains. Auritibicen intermedius was distributed locally in the high mountain areas. Meimuna mongolica was distributed locally in flat wetlands.

상황은 단일 사건에 의해 결정되는 경우도 있지만, 많은 경우 일련의 사건이 특정 시간 제약을 만족하면서 발생할 때 상황이 결정된다. 따라서 상황에 대한 추론은 시간 제약 조건 만족 여부와 함께 사건의 발생을 순서를 확인하는 방법으로 수행될 수 있다. 한편, 어떤 상황은 분명하게 정의되는 것이 아니라 애매한 개념을 사용하여 기술되기 때문에, 퍼지 개념을 이용한 상황 기술과 이에 대한 추론이 필요하다. 한편, 유비쿼터스 환경에서와 같이 여러 대상에 대한 상황을 유추하여 서비스를 제공해야 하는 경우에, 대상 간에 동일한 상황이 발생할 수 있기 때문에 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 이러한 상황 추론을 위해서 이 논문에서는 Fuzzy Colored Timed Petri net 모델이라는 상황 추론 모델에 대해서 제안한다. 제안한 모델은 Timed Petri net 성질을 이용하여 일련의 사건 발생을 모델링하고, Colored Petri net의 성질을 이용하여 다수 대상에 대한 상황 추론을 허용하며, fuzzy 토큰 개념을 이용하여 애매한 개념을 사용하여 정의된 상황에 대한 추론을 가능하게 한다.

Twenty-five species of pests had occurred at orchards of Japanese Apricot, Prunus mume Siebold & Zucc., in Hadong and Jinju (Gyeongsangnam-do province) from 2005 to 2007. Rhopalosiphum rufiabdominale (Sasaki), Singapora shinshana M., Tetranychus viennensis Zacher, and Synanthedon hector B. occurred as major pests and Anthonomus persicae sp. nov., Grapholita molesta (Busk), Spodoptera litura F., and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) as a sporadic pests. The population of S. shinshana had increased continuously during the season, from late April to late October. The population of T. viennensis occurred early May, reached the highest peak in late June to early July, and then declined with worsening consequences of nutritional conditions in the apricot leaves. A. persicae was observed to occur before breaking flower-bud of apricot and emerged adults were found in April to early May.

Sixteen kinds of piercing-sucking mouth type insects were observed at witches'-broom diseased paulownia (Paulownia tomentosa) trees. Among ten insect species tested, a leafhopper, Empoasca sp., transmitted paulownia witches'-broom mycoplasma-like organism(PWB-MLO) to periwinkle(Catharanthus roseus) plant. Adults of this leafhopper were collected from PWB-diseased paulownia trees. The leafhpoppers were allowed to feed on the PWB-infected paulownia trees for three weeks to acquire PWB-MLO. These insects were then transferred to healthy seedlings of paulownia and periwinkle plants for inoculation-feeding. About 30-40days after the inoculation, "little-leaf" symptoms developed on periwinkle plants, but no symptoms developed on paulownia seedlings. MLO infection in the diseased periwinkle tissue was diagnosed by fluorescence microscopy. MLOs were observed in the sieve tubes by electron microscopy, proving the insect transmission of PWB-MLO.
