The Axes and Adzes are the oldest tools since the beginning of human history which is used to cut the tree and make part of architecture such as boards, square timber etc. Nowadays, these old woodworking tools especially "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) has been almost disappeared at the working site of residential and cultural properties. It is necessary to study Korean traditional woodworking tools to keep Korean traditional skill and technology. It has been reviewed the change of shape of "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) from before Samhan (삼한) period to Joseon Dynasty through excavated relics and paintings and summarize as follows: Based on excavation relics of Dahori, both plate type blade and pocket type blade are used for "Tokki(도끼)" (axe) and "Jagui(자귀)" (adze). The excavated "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) from Jeongbaikri 356 tomb, near Pyongyang is prototype of "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) used nowdays which has almost same shape as well as the insert method of blade and handle. The auxiliary handle is inserted to blade and the main handle is inserted to the auxiliary handle which is different from the method of Chinese and Japanese "Jagui(자귀)" (adze). The length of handle of "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) until late Joseon Dynasty is short by which we assume it is used for a sitting position as hand held Jagui and from that time long handle has been introduced for a standing position which is called "Sunjagui(선자귀)". "Jagui(자귀)" (adze) has been used since the beginning of human history but it is almost disappeared at the most of woodworking site which is the crisis of Korean traditional architecture and we have to do something to keep it.

바쁜 일상에 주위를 둘러볼 시간적 여유가 없는 도시인이라도 잠깐 눈을 돌려보면 주위에 다양한 식물들의 색다른 모습을 즐길 수 있다. 자귀나무는 가로수나 정원수로 많이 심지만 그리 많이 알려진 식물이 아니다 보니 그냥 지나치는 경우가 많다. 하지만 자귀나무에 대해 조금만 관심을 기울이면 그 매력에 푹 빠지게 된다.

자귀나무는 콩과에 속하며 우리 주변에서 훤히 관찰되는 나무로서 꽃, 잎, 열매 모두 관상 가치가 있다. 우리 고유수종인 본 나무는 수피는 한약재로도 사용되었고, 잎은 녹비로 사용하였으며 최근에는 조경수, 정원수, 가로수, 사방용수로 다양하게 사용되는 나무이다. 특히 꽃은 연분홍색의 공작새의 꼬리 같아 꽃피는 기간도 한 달간 지속되어 사람들의 사랑을 많이 받는 나무이다. 추위에는 비교적 약하지만 우리나라 전역의 공원 및 도시 주변의 조경수나 가로수로 적당한 수종이라 할 수 있다. 자귀나무는 비교적 병해충에 강한 수종으로 알려져 있으나 최근 몇몇 해충의 피해가 나타나 이들에 대한 생태 및 방제법을 간략하게 소개하고자 한다.

Three bark extracts of Albizia julibrissin were prepared using water (AW), 70% (v/v) ethanol (AE), and hot water (AHW). Organic solvent fractions were analyzed for total flavonoids and polyphenols, antioxidant activities, and inhibitory activities against xanthine oxidase. Total flavonoid and polyphenol contents of the AHW extract were 8.57 mg/g and 108.67 mg/g, respectively. The SOD-like activities of all extracts, assayed at 1.0 mg/mL, were 10.46-16.73%. The nitrite-scavenging ability of the AHW extract, assayed at pH 1.2, was 60.82%, and the $IC_{50}$ value was $770.18\;{\mu}g$/mL. The electron-donating ability of the AHW extract, at 0.3 mg/mL, was 92.30%; the $IC_{50}$ values of the AW and AHW extracts were $31.31\;{\mu}g$/mL and $36.22\;{\mu}g$/mL, respectively; thus higher than that of ascorbic acid ($39.06\;{\mu}g$/mL). Xanthine oxidase inhibition by the AHW extract, at 1.0 mg/mL, was 94.05%. These results indicate that the AHW of A. julibrissin has potential as a natural antioxidant, for addition to foods and nutraceuticals.

In this paper, Nonlinear Autoregressive (NAR) method based on Least Square-Support Vector Regression (LS-SVR) is introduced and tested for nonlinear sustained vowel modeling. In the database of total 43 sustained vowel of Benign Vocal Fold Lesions having aperiodic waveform, this nonlinear synthesizer near perfectly reproduced chaotic sustained vowels, and also conserved the naturalness of sound such as jitter, compared to Linear Predictive Coding does not keep these naturalness. However, the results of some phonation are quite different from the original sounds. These results are assumed that single-band model can not afford to control and decompose the high frequency components. Therefore multi-band model with wavelet filterbank is adopted for substituting single band model. As a results, multi-band model results in improved stability. Finally, nonlinear sustained vowel modeling using NAR based on LS-SVR can successfully reconstruct synthesized sounds nearly similar to original voiced sounds.

In vitro culture system was established to induce multiple shoots of Albizzia julibrissin Duraz. by investigating the effects of cytokinins. Cotyledon, hypocotyl and root explants were cultured on MS media supplemented with either three different plant growth regulators or their combinations. The most effective cytokinin sources were zeatin 2.0 + TDZ 0.5 mg/L in cotyledon, zeatin 1.0 mg/L in hypocotyl, and BA 0.2 + TDZ 0.01 mg/L in root explant for producing shoots ($5.67\;{\pm}\;1.20$, $19.50\;{\pm}\;3.50$, and $20.50\;{\pm}\;2.47$, respectively). Also, zeatin treatment was tended to induce more shoots rather than the combinations of other cytokinins. In addition, the root induced in 1/2 MS medium without any plant growth regulators was longer and thicker than treatments of IBA, NAA, IAA and 2.4-D as auxins. Overall, the highest average percent of in vitro shoot formation was 73% from three different types of explants with treatment of zeatin (1.0mg/L).

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-hyperlipidemic activity of Albizzia julibrissin and Cassia tora L. extract mixtures in high fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats. In high-fat diet fed hyperlipidemic rats, oral treatment with Albizzia julibrissin and Cassia tora L. extracts resulted in decreased levels of total serum cholesterol and triglycerides, epididymal fat pad (EFP) weights, and activities of hepatic glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and malic enzyme, while the levels of feces production and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol were increased, compared with untreated control. Therefore, these results suggest that Albizzia julibrissin and Cassia tora L. extract mixtures can ameliorate hyperlipidemia.
