The distribution and population density of rodents and chigger mites were investigated between April 2013 and November 2013 in the Gokseong-gun of Jeollanam-do, Korea. A total of 79 rodents were collected using Sherman collapsible traps, and among them, 73 were Apodemus agrarius (92.4%), 4 were Crocidura lasiura (5.0%), and 2 were Microtus fortis (2.5%). Sixty-eight out of the 79 rodents were parasitized by chiggers, showing an infestation rate of 86.0% and a chigger index of 74.5; the chigger index of A. agrarius was 75.4. From the trapped field rodents, 5,063 chigger mites were collected and identified with 6 species of 2 genera. Leptotrombidium scutellare was the dominant species with 3,535 chiggers (69.8%), followed by L. pallidum with 777 chiggers (15.3%). This results showed that the distribution of chigger mites differ in dominant species according to seasons. L. pallidum was the predominant chigger collected in April (34.3%), May (70.0%), and June (55.1%); whereas L. scutellare was the predominant chigger collected in September (75.5%), October (71.8%), and November (74.2%).

A new species, Potentilla baekdusanensis M. Kim, is described here. It is found in Baekdusan Mt., Korea. Potentilla baekdusanensis shares several characteristics (pinnately compound leaves, pubescent leaf blades and leaf petioles, different leaflets size, and absent stolons) with the related species P. fragarioides. However, this new species has small plants with short and curved hairs, 7 leaflets, small lower leaflets, a glabrous leaflet margin, and yellow petals with a reddish yellow base. In contrast, P. fragarioides are large plants with long and straight hairs, 9-15 leaflets, large lower leaflets, a ciliate leaf margin, and yellow petals without a reddish yellow base.

Effects of light on germination of major weeds in upland fields were examined. Most weeds showed light positive response to germination at above 25$^{\circ}C$, but germination percentage was very low at lower temperatures. Red light promoted germination of Amaranthus lividus, Portulaca oleracea, and A. retroflexus, but far-red light inhibited germination. Germination resposnse of A. retroflexus, A. lividus, and P. oleracea showed reversible reaction to red/far-red light, and thus it seemed that phytochrome was involoved in seed germination, Echinochloa crusgali and Eleusine indica showed higher germination percentage under the conditions of continuous illumination of red, white, and bule lights, and thus it was estimated that blue light pigment (HIR, high irradiation reaction) related to long time illumination was involved in germination in addition to phytochrome.

In this paper, we test and estimate the stochastic non-fundamental trend in Korean stock market. For this, following Kim (2011), we exploit that the long-run equilibrium stock price may be decomposed into fundamental and stochastic non-fundamental trends (i.e., the sum of dividend innovations and a part that are orthogonal with the dividend innovations) by using the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition and projections. In this VAR construction, there is an error correction mechanism through which stock prices converge to their long-run equilibrium, which also contain the stated stochastic non-fundamental trend as well as fundamental trend. The estimation and test results using yearly data from the Korea (1976-2012) indicated that fluctuations in stock prices during that period can be explained mainly not by the stochastic non-fundamental trend but by the dividend trend. However, during some periods like after Seoul Olympic Games, we may observe the non-fundamental trend affected to the stock price variation.

In order to elucidate growth characteristics, physiological responses and leaf color changes of leaf-variegated Arundinaria munsuensis and Carex ciliato-marginata for variegata, These experiments were performed under four different light ragimes control(full sun), 40%, 70% and 85%. Plant height and leaf area became promoted as shading level increases in leaf-variegated Arundinaria munsuensis. Photosynthetic effect was the highest in 85% shading of the full sun. Thus, this plant could be growing in the deep shade condition. Plant growth and the leaf color changes were most obviously shown in the 40% shading level. In the Carex ciliatomarginata for. variegata growth status was the best and green or strong greenish yellow leaf color turned out to be much clearer in the 40% shading treatment. And photosynthetic activity was enhanced as the light intensity decreases.

Simulating the cohesion and stiffness of wet hair or fur in physics-based simulations is one of the most challenging problems. Wet hair or fur is characterized by bunching and stiffening at the ends, a phenomenon that can be seen in wet animal fur or hair. In addition, when wet hair interacts with a solid, adhesion occurs, but this problem becomes difficult to solve due to the different distribution and balance of forces in curly hair. In traditional methods, wet hair is represented by hand or by using static hairstyles to represent wet curls and hair. However, how to depict the details of wet curly hair has not been actively researched. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to efficiently model the curl exaggeration, cohesion, adhesion, and stiffness of wet curly hair. The proposed method efficiently simulates cohesion and integrates stiffness constraints with curl dynamics to reliably control hair elasticity.

Repellent and acaricidal activities of eucalyptus oil, permethrin, and DEET against Leptotrombidium pallidum larvae, which are a vector transmitting tsutsugamushi disease, were evaluated under laboratory conditions using a filter paper impregnated method. The $LD_{50}$ values of eucalyptus oil and DEET were 0.025 and 0.018 $mg/cm^2$, respectively while that of permethrin was higher than 0.2 $mg/cm^2$. In the repellency test of these materials at 6.14 $mg/cm^2$, eucalyptus oil gave complete repellency, and the larvae crossed the treated zone killed. But permethrin showed 60% repellency at 9.20 $mg/cm^2$ and the mites croosed the zone were not killed. The percent repellency of DEET at 0.53 $mg/cm^2$ was 8.3 and 2.8 times higher than that of permethrin and eucalyptus oil, respectively. The acaricidal activities of emulsifiable concentrates-pump sprayers containing the eucalyptus oil as an active ingredient were assayed. The emulsifiable concentrates containing 1% and 3% eucalyptus oil showed weak mortality at 1 hour after treatment, while all ones containing more than 6% oil produced 100% activity against L. pallidum larvae. The mortality also increased as exposure time to the concentrates increase. These results suggest that the potential of eucalyptus oil highly expected to be used as a control or repellent agent against L. pallidum larvae may be very high.

An oribatid mite, Incabates barbatus sp. nov. in the family Haplozetidae is described herein from Korea. This new species is very similar to 1. major reported in Japan. However, prodorsal setae (ro & la) and head of sensillus are smooth in 1. major while barbs are found on the outer margin in the middle of rostral seta (ro) and lamellar seta (la) in addition to the presence of spinulae making the surface of head of sensillus rough in the new species. There are altogether 9 species described in the genus Incubates at present including the new species reported herein and keys to these 9 species are presented.

한국산 털진드기 종을 다룬 모든 문헌을 조사 정리한 결과 총 43종이 보고되었는데, 그중 Salchia brennani ventralis 는 오동정한 것으로 W. comataxila 이었고 Shunsennia gracilis 는 S. hertigi 의 동종이명일 가능성이있으나 문헌상으로는 확인할 수 없었다. Leptotromibidium intermedium 의 경우 문헌상의 근거가 전혀 없어 국내 서식종으로 인정할 수 없었다. 필자가 직접 표본을 조사하여 확인할 수 있었던 종은 모두 17 종이었는데 그 가운데 Leptotromibidium akamushi 는 L.zutum 의 , L.miyajimai 는 L.orientale 의 오동정이었다. 결국 한국산 털진드기류는 모두 2과 , 12속, 39종이 된다. 이 중 2 종은 조류에 , 7종은 박쥐에, 그리고 29종은 설치류에 각각 기생하는 종이고 1종은 조류와 포유류에 공동기생하는 종이다. 현재 한국산 털진드기를 동정하는데 이용할 수 있는 검색표로는 29종을 아룬 Southwick (1968) 의것이 있을 뿐이고, 우리나라와 동물상이 유사하나 일본 종에 대한 검색표도 우리나라 토착종 21종이 들어 있지 않아 도움이 되지 않는다. 뿐만 아니라, 기존 검색표는 다리의 강모식(leg setal formula) 이나 촉수의 강모식( palpal setal formula)등 관찰하기 어려운 형질을 많이 사용하고 있어서 동정에 어려움이 많았다. 이에 필자는 현재까지 한국 종으로 정리된 총 39종에 대한 검색표를 만들었는데, 관찰이 용이하면서도 변이가 적은 형질을 최대한 사용하였고 특히 종 특징을 잘 나타내는 배판(scutum)의 형질을 주로 사용하였다. 실용성이 보다 큰 도식형 검색표( pictorial key)도 함께 만들었는데 원저자들의 도표에서 배판(scutum)을 그대로 전사하여 종 간 비교를 용이하게 하였다.
