This study was conducted to examine the characteristics of fresh and frozen semen, proliferating efficiency by AI, and the coat color of offsprings in Korean Native Striped Cattle (Bos namadicus Falconer, Chikso). Semen were collected from 6 heads of tiger-coated male Chikso. In vitro fertilization (IVF) was conducted with frozen-thawed semen and in vitro matured Korean native brown cattle (general Hanwoo) oocytes. Total 18 heads of Hanwoo and Chikso were inseminated using Chikso semen. Coat colors of total 40 offsprings produced by AI were evaluated. The characteristics of the fresh and frozen-thawed Chikso semen did not differ among individuals. In vitro fertilization rate of Chikso semen was not different from that of general Hanwoo semen. However, developmental rate to the blastocyst stage of IVF embryos was higher in Chikso semen (25.9%) than in general Hanwoo semen (p<0.05). There was no difference in conception rate after AI between Chikso and general Hanwoo. The coat colors of offsprings varied, only 42.5% (17/40 heads) of offsprings had tiger coat color. Futhermore, only 55% of offsprings produced from the tiger-coated recipients had tiger coat color. This result shows that proliferation of Chikso by AI is possible, but further research approaches may be needed to enhance the productivity of tiger-coated Chikso.

This study was conducted to develop an artificial diet for the mugwort looper, Ascotis selenaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), which is an insect pest to leaves of citrus (Citrus unshiu). Corn and soybean powder were selected as main nutrient sources for larvae of A. selenaria after several diets consisted of wheat germ, corn, kidney bean and/or soybean were tested for larval development and survival. A higher amount of the main nutrients in the diet increased the larval survivorship. Addition of yeast and cholesterol in diet increased the larval survivorship. Finally the composition of diet was decided as followings; corn 100 g, soybean 100 g agar 25 g, Brewers' yeast 30 g, cholesterol 0.5 g, Vanderzant vitamin mixture 2 g, Wesson's salt mixture 2 g, sorbic acid 2 g, ascorbic acid 2 g, and methyl-4-hydroxybenzoate 2.5 g, and distilled water 1 liter. Development periods of larvae and pupae, survival rate and fecundity of A. selenaria reared on the diet were not significantly different with those on the host plant, citrus leaves. Larvae of early instars were reared in a group, while larvae of later instars (5-6th) were reared individually. Adult mating was conducted in a plastic cage and an oilpaper covered with a gauze was provided as an oviposition site.

Reproductive cycle with the ovarian developmental phases, first sexual maturity of the female venus clam, Cyclina sinensis, was investigated by a histological study, and the number of spawned eggs and spawning frequency by artificial spawning induction of the clams were estimated. Samples were collected from the intertidal zone of Simpo, Gimje city, Korea between January and December, 2001. The reproductive cycle of this species can be classified into five successive stages; early active (February to April), late active (March to June), ripe (May to August), spent (July to September), and spent and inactive (September to February). The spawning period was once a year between July and August, a spawning peak was seen in July and August. Percentages of first sexual maturity of female clams of 25.1-30.0 mm in shell length were 64.3%, and 100% for the clams > 40.1 mm. The number of the eggs released from each clam by spawning induction increased as the size of clam in terms of shell length increased. The mean number of the eggs released from the second induction of spawning was 76.87% of the number of the eggs released in the first spawning. Our data indicated that the interval of each spawning was estimated to be approximately 15-17 (average 16.5) days.

Directed graph and Lindenmayer system (L-system) are two major encoding methods of representation to develop creatures in application field of artificial life. It is difficult to define real morphology structurally using the L-systems which are a grammatical rewriting system because L-systems represent genotype as loops, procedure calls, variables, and parameters. This paper defines a class of representations called structured directed graph, which is identified by its ability to define structures of the genotype in the translation to the phenotype, and presents an example of creating 3D flowers using a directed graph which is proper method to represent real morphology, and interactive genetic algorithm which decodes the problem with human's emotional evaluation. The experimental results show that natural flower morphology can be generated by the proposed method.

Experiment was performed in a newly developed wind tunnel with light system to determine the aerodynamic resistance and eddy diffusivity above the plug stand under artificial light. Maximum air temperature appeared near the top of the plug stand under artificial light. Since Richardson number was ranged from -0.07 to +0.01, the atmosphere above the plug stand in wind tunnel was in an unstable or near- neutral stability state. The average aerodynamic resistance at rear region of plug stand was 25 % higher than that at middle region. Eddy diffusivity($K_{M}$) linearly increased with the increasing air current speed. $K_{M}$ at air current speed of 0.9 m.$s^{-1}$ was about two times as many as that at air current speed of 0.3 m.$s^{-1}$. And average $K_{M}$ at the rear region was 15% lower than that at the middle region. These results indicated that the diffusion of heat and mass along the direction of air current inside the plug stand was different. It might cause the lack of uniformity in the growth and quality of plug seedlings. The wind tunnel developed in this study would be useful to investigate the effects of air current speed on microclimates and the growth of plug seedlings under artificial light in a semi- closed ecosystem.

Reliability is defined as a probability that a system will operate properly for a specified period of time under the design operating conditions without failure. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem(RROP) involves selection of components with multiple choices, redundancy levels and redundancy strategy(Active or Standby) for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. Based on the design configuration of Multi-Spectral Camera(MSC) system of KOMPSAT-2, the mathematical programming model for RROP is suggested in this study. Due to the nature of RROP, i.e. NP-hard problem, Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization(PPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve it. The result of the numerical experiment for RROP is presented as instance of recommended design configuration at some mission time.

인공신경망 기반 기계번역(Neural Machine Translation, NMT)이란 딥러닝(Deep learning)을 이용하여 출발 언어의 문장을 도착 언어 문장으로 번역해주는 시스템을 일컫는다. NMT는 종단간 학습(end-to-end learning)을 이용하여 기존 기계번역 방법론의 성능을 앞지르며 기계번역의 주요 방법론으로 자리잡게 됐다. 이러한 발전에도 불구하고 여전히 개체(entity), 또는 전문 용어(terminological expressions)의 번역은 미해결 과제로 남아있다. 개체나 전문 용어는 대부분 명사로 구성되는데 문장 내 명사는 주체, 객체 등의 역할을 하는 중요한 요소이므로 이들의 정확한 번역이 문장 전체의 번역 성능 향상으로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 지식그래프(Knowledge Graph)를 이용하여 심볼릭 지식을 NMT와 결합한 뉴럴심볼릭 방법론을 제안한다. 또한 지식그래프를 활용하여 NMT의 성능을 높인 선행 연구 방법론을 한영 기계번역에 이용할 수 있도록 구조를 설계한다.

To understand differences of environmental factors and planktonic communities in closed (CS) versus open (OS) enclosed experimental systems, we performed a study on a 100-L indoor-type artificial marine microcosm. For environmental factors, including water temperature, dissolved inorganic phosphorus, and dissolved silica, there were no significant differences between CS and OS; however, salinity was higher in CS than that of OS due to the evaporation effect. The concentration of dissolved oxygen and dissolved inorganic nitrogen was lower in CS than in OS. The abundance of phytoplankton was lower in CS than in OS. However, abundance of autotrophic nanoflagellates and heterotrophic bacteria varied inversely with that of phytoplankton abundances. In particular, the abundance of heterotrophic nanoflagellates and ciliates increased with bacterial growth after a time lag. Therefore, environmental factors and planktonic communities in CS gradually changed over time and characterized a different artificial ecosystem than in OS.

In this study, we consider the evolved interactivity at the Artificial Life Art beyond 'open interactivity' as 'closed relationship' between viewer/participant and artwork by immersive and interactive features of digital media art. In order to consider this evolved interactivity, we survey the theory of artificial life of which result of many studies like biology and computational science. And then we analysed characteristics related artistic context of artificial life at the autonomy and emergent behavior of artificial life. Especially, we research the artworks of interaction with ecologies and of living in outside(not in- silico) among the artworks of officially adopting an artificial life arts in 'VIDA : Art and Artificial Life International Awards'. And we are going to understand the relationship of emotional subjects between viewer/participant and artwork, and a step further to understand the diverse relationship of symbiosis and co-evolution of the technology and human.
