The purpose of this paper was to analyze and to compare the creativity of Nam-June Paik and Louis 1. Kahn to understand the characteristics of creative people. Both of them got strong supports from their family and close people. As they were not originally from the U.S., political and city environments where they settled in the U.S. for the first time strongly influenced their creative activity. The difference in the creative contexts of Paik and Kahn is that Paik had more visual cues in his childhood due to the rich environments. The various visual cues influenced his wide interests in video arts. In creative process, even though both of them more focused on the beginning stage of creative process, there were differences in creative problem solving styles. Kahn considered the imaging and perception as the most Important working process. For him, intuition(gestalt view) and ideation(generator) are more important than intellectual skill. On the other hand, Paik thought the symbolization(conceptualizer) based on his own experience and philosophy(associationism) was the most important.

The fireplace has been inseparable from the wall. Therefore, the fireplace, which is independently revealed in the living room, is unusual and exceptional. According to the concept of "Served-Servant space" by Louis Kahn, "Servant space" is conceived as an inhabited thick wall and completely separated from "Served space." The fireplace is an apparent servant element, but in Fisher house, it is considered as the single, remarkable and major element composing the house. Paradoxically, this scene of the living room is in conflict with Kahn's ideas on "Servant space." This study sheds new light on the independent fireplace in the conflicting relationship and suggests the similarities with the contemporary cases-Le Corbusier & Philip Johnson-in terms of the stand-alone "Servant element." In the end, the independent fireplace of the Fisher house has transformed into an essential element of the house, as Kahn said that "I feel it[fireplace] represents the presence of a man and therefore is of home."

Webtoon has developed the method that makes it possible to express sound visually. Also we can also hear sound in webtoon through the development of web technology. It is natural that we analyze the sound that we can hear, but we can also analyze the sound that we can not hear. This study is based on 'dual code' in cognitive psychology. Cartoonists can make visual expression on the basis of auditive impression and memory, and readers can recall the sound through the process of memory and memory-retrieval. This study analyzes both audible sound and inaudable sound. Concise analysis owes the method to film sound theory. Three main factor, Volume, pitch, and tone are recognized by frequency in acoustics. On the other hand they are expressed by the thickness and site of line and image of sound source. The visual expression of in screen sound and off screen sound is related to the frame of comics. Generally the outside of frame means off sound, but some off sound is in the frame. In addition, horror comics use much sound for the effect of genre like horror film. When analyzing comics sound using this kinds of the method film sound analysis, we can find that webtoon has developed creative expression method comparing with simple ones of early comics. Especially arranging frames and expressing sound following and vertical moving are new ones in webtoon. Also types and arrangement of frame has been varied. BGM is the first in using audible sound and recently BGM composed mixing sound effect is being used. In addition, the program which makes it possible for readers to hear sound according to scroll moving. Especially horror genre raise the genre effects using this technology. Various methods of visualizing sound are being created, and the change shows that webtoon could be the model of convergence in contents.

The virtual reality (VR) cartoon is a format of VR contents that leverage the characteristics of webtoons that provides the simple story line and graphical storytelling tools to strategically surmount limitations of VR contents design. The VR cartoon enables people to experience the imaginary three-dimensional space in the webtoon as a real space by the transformation of webtoon contents through VR prototyping. The VR cartoon successfully presents focused environment where people can readily pay attention to the contents without notable motion sickness. People have been familiar with the storytelling strategy in the context of published cartoons and webtoons, likely we've understood the narrative of a movie through the continuous scenes projected in the screen. Indeed, it has been recognized as a popular toolset of communication, where visual images are sequentially delivered by replacing multiple planar spaces to tell a story narrative. While there are discrete panels with the time and space resolution in the graphical cartoons, people can distill a commit closure based on their past experiences. This is a typical "grammar" of the cartoon, which can be extrapolated to the VR cartoon that provides a seminal storytelling strategy. In this article, we review how the storytelling strategy in webtoons has been transformed into that in VR cartoons, and analyze the key components of VR cartoons. We envision that our research can potentially create keystones to produce variety of new VR contents by reflecting various narrative media including cartoon as a 'sequential art'.

The present paper suggests the original form of the bell pavilion for the King Song-Dok bell which is one of the precious national treasure of Korea. In order to this, many literatures were reviewed including both historical and acoustical references. As the results, the model of the bell pavilion for the King Song-Dok bell is suggested as follows considering acoustical characteristics of the King Song-Dok bell and the traditional Korean bells ; 1) The bell pavilion has the rumbling puddle beneath the bell on the ground floor for resonance of sound 2) Many lumbers are used for columns and beams rather than boards since natural frequencies of the bell are 64 Hz and 168 Hz so that the sound absorption of the low frequency sound may not be occurred. 3) Only some boards may be used for the area between upper and middle molding of lintel in order to prevent of direct sunlight and sea breeze since this type of structure were used for bell pavilion of the same age. 4) Square form with the odd number of 3 or 5 Kans is adopted for bell pavilion considering the weight and the size of the bell which had been used traditionally 5) Finally, half-hipped structure is used for the roof of the bell pavilion which was the predominant form of the age.

The effect of beta-glucan ($Polycan^{TM}$) derived from Aureobasidium pullulans SM-2001 were observed on, collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in DBA mice. Six week-old male DBA/1J mice were immunized by the intradermal injection of $200\;{\mu}g$ of bovine type II collagen with the equal volume of complete Freund's adjuvant at the tail base on day 1. On day 21, the mice were boosted by the intradermal injection of $200\;{\mu}g$ of bovine type II collagen with incomplete Freund's adjuvant. From the first immunization, mice had been administered $Polycan^{TM}$ (21.25, 42.5 and 85 mg/kg), diclofenac and vehicle once a day for 4 weeks, respectively. Collagen-induced hyperimmunities and arthritis signs were markedly and dose-dependently inhibited by treatment of $Polycan^{TM}$ compared with RA control except for tibial cartilages of $Polycan^{TM}$ 21.25 group. $Polycan^{TM}$ effectively inhibited the histopathological changes of collagen-induced arthritis and hyper-immunities.

This study investigated the regulatory effects of African mango (Irvingia gabonesis, IGOB $131^{TM}$) extract on blood glucose level in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Experimental groups were treated with two different doses of IGOB $131^{TM}$ (1% and 2% in each AIN93G supplement) for 5 weeks [4 weeks pre-treatment and 1 week post-STZ treatment (60 mg/kg body weight)]. STZ-induced diabetic rats showed significantly reduced body weight gain compared to normal control (NC). Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was measured using glucose oxidase-peroxidase reactive strips. The area of under the curve for the glucose response from OGTT in STZ-induced diabetic rats was higher than that of NC rats, and there was a significant difference between the DM and the IGOB $131^{TM}$-treated groups. Serum glucose levels after sacrifice were significantly lower in the IGOB $131^{TM}$ group than the DM group. However, there was no statistical difference between low- and high-dose treatments. Serum insulin levels increased by 234.4% and 175.9%, respectively, upon treatment with IGOB $131^{TM}$. Serum lipid profiles were not significantly different among the experimental groups. The tested samples had no effects on serum levels of lipid profiles (triglyceride, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein/very low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol). These results suggest that IGOB $131^{TM}$ is able to ameliorate diabetes by reducing serum glucose levels that may result from increased insulin levels.

Comics has three components: cuts, gap between cuts, speech balloons. Still, it is true that speech balloons are not commonly subject to the study for comics. A few preceding researches pinpoint exactly the morphological features and functions of speech balloons. In today when webtoon becomes generalized, these features and functions are continued as they are and are used in webtoon. We can catch that speech balloons are also affected since the environmental elements of web induce the change in the overall comics directing. There are two perspectives to sort out the features of speech balloons: first, the placement issue of speech balloons. The unlimited expansion of web space gives the environment for comicss to use the gap between cuts as wide as they can. It leads to turn out some of the ways to place the balloons, so we can sort them out general placement, exterior placement, the upper and lower placement, scroll-use type. Second, as the directing techniques for webtoon become digitalized by the morphological issue, speech balloon itself has been expanded its ways to express by various expression methods. Analyzing and classifying, recording the newly emerged conditions on the preceding study are worthy of trying and will become the cornerstone for the follow research.

'Hwaweon 7' was developed from a cross between the African upland cultivar, 'Moroberekan' and 'Ilpumbyeo' based on marker-aided backcross selection. The recurrent parent, Ilpumbyeo is a high grain quality cultivar with medium to late maturity. Hwaweon 7 is nearly isogenic to Ilpumbyeo except a small Moroberekan introgressed segment on chromosome 6 harboring genes related with spikelets per panicle and internode diameter. The preliminary and replicated yield trial was conducted at Chungnam National University and Chungcheongnamdo Agricultural Research & Extension (CARES), Yesan in 2010 and 2011. The local adaptability test was carried out by the National Seed Management Office (NSMO) in 2012 and 2013. This cultivar was registered to NSMO with a cultivar designated as "Hwaweon7". This cultivar averaged 80cm in culm length and has a medium growth duration. Milled rice of "Hwaweon7" is translucent and the grain quality traits are comparable to those of the recurrent parent. The average yield potential of Hwaweon 7 in grain was about 6.48 MT/ha at the ordinary fertilizer level for two years about 5.1% higher than that of Ilpumbyeo due to increase in spikelets per panicle. This variety is tolerant to lodging and the tolerance is due to the APO1 gene controlling the base internode diameter on chromosome 6 introgressed from the donor parent, Moroberekan. The Apo1 gene would be useful in enhancing resistance to lodging in rice breeding program.
