Tensegrity is a relatively new structural system based on the use of continuous tension-discontinuous compression. Of course, a much more detailed structural investigation would be necessary, but at least in order to achieve the intended purpose, it is essential to understand the structural principles and the fundamental forces of tensegrity. Once this point is established, the applications of them to architecture are described, as well as the characteristics of these structures. Then, in spite of the controversial definitions to explain these systems, several examples of tensegrity prototypes or modules constructed in iESD(Institute of Environmental Structure Design) are presented to illustrate the feasibility of tensegrity as a lightweight structure. In this work, consequently, the reformability and application of tensegrity modules have also been researched in architecture, after the patterns of basic module as well as fundamental definition are introduced.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the norepinephrine(NET) transporter T-182C polymorphism and anxiety-related traits in Korean adolescent females. Methods : One hundred sixty-nine Korean adolescent females were tested for the NET T-182C polymorphism by PCR based methods; anxiety-related traits were evaluated using the anxiety sensitivity index(ASI) and the trait form of the Spielberg State-Trait Anxiety inventory(STAI-T). Results : Scores of anxiety related traits were not different between genotypes. Comparison between T allele carries and non carriers revealed no significant difference. Conclusion : These findings suggest that the NET T-182C polymorphism is not associated with anxiety-related traits in Korean female adolescents.

The purpose of this study is to provide the proper methods of presenting question materials for generate of various question by comparing type, level, objectivity, manipulation of question in the presenting methods of question phenomena. I selected and showed actual objects, movies, and photographs as ways of presenting question materials, to each of which three question tasks were assigned. The generated questions by students were compared. The results showed that the question of conjectural, predictive, methodological, exploratory, verificational, qualitative, quantitative, simple-manipulative, pre-manipulative questions turned out to have significantly higher average frequencies in the cases of the presentation of photographs and movies than in the cases of the presentation of actual objects. However, the question of post-manipulative questions turned out to have significantly higher average frequencies in the cases of the presentation of actual objects than in the cases of the presentation of photographs and movies. and There were no significant differences between individual methods of question task presentation in average frequencies with respect to causal and methodological, subjective questions. Thus, we have learned from this that methods of presenting question phenomena had influence on the students' question. This suggests that we should consider forms of presentation of question materials in planning the teaching-learning of question.

The normal stress of cement paste measured under squeeze flow is divided into an elastic solid region at strains between 0.0003 and 0.003 and a strain-hardening region at strains of 0.003 and 0.8. A modeling equation at the strain-hardening region was proposed. First, from the viewpoint of fluid behavior, the power-law non-Newtonian fluid model, with a power-law consistency (m) of 700 and a power index (n) of 0.2, was applied. The results showed good agreement with the experimental results except for an elastic solid region. Second, from the viewpoint of ductile yielding solid behavior, the force balance model was applied, and the friction coefficient between the sensor part measuring the load and the surface of the cement paste was derived as a polynomial of the normal strain by applying the half-interval search method to the experimental data. The results showed good agreement with the experimental results only in the middle normal strain region at strains between 0.003 and 0.3. The rheological behavior of the cement paste under squeeze flow was more consistent with the experimental results from the viewpoint of power-law non-Newtonian fluid behavior than from the viewpoint of ductile yielding solid behavior in the strain-hardening region.

This study was carried out to compare Msp I polymorphisms in the 3rd intron of porcine gene encoding the pituitary-1 transcription factor (POU1F1) from 286 pigs (Landrace $\times$ Yorkshire $\times$ Duroc, LYD) and to determine the associations between its genotypes and carcass traits by using the PCR-RFLP technique. The frequency of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotype DD (84.33%) was very higher than that of CC genotype (0.75%). Allelic frequencies for C and D were 0.082 and 0.918, respectively. Each population followed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Meat colours of Hunter $L^*$ values and visual colour according to two genotypes were all significantly different. However, no significant difference in crossbred (LYD) was found between CD and DD genotypes for other traits. Therefore, this suggests that POU1F1 may be a major gene or marker for carcass traits.

Degradation products of agarose are biologically active and thus used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals or functional cosmetics. Furthermore, it has been strongly considered as a substrate for bio-ethanol fermentation. Recently, we isolated new agarase-producing microorganism, Pseudoalteromonas sp. from south sea of Korea. In this study, we aimed to separate and purify the agarase from culture broth of this strain. Separation of agarase was performed by ion- exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose resin. Equilibrium pH and volume ratio of resin to the amount of protein were optimized for the efficient adsorption of protein. 410 ${\mu}g$ of protein was completely adsorbed to 3 mL of resin at pH 7.5. The total amount of eluted protein increased as NaCl concentration increased to 400 mM at isocratic elution. Agarase was separated by linear gradient elution of NaCl (0~1,000 mM). Three major protein peaks were observed and the presence or absence of agarase in these eluted proteins was measured by Lugol's staining technique. Only six eluted protein fractions showed strong agarase activity.

Using analytical solution of $B({\xi})$, I could find out the characteristics of Submarine's turbulent wake for the given various ${\lambda}$, which were unknown facts before. As the results, $B({\xi}){\approx}{\frac{B({\xi})_{max}}{2}}$ and ${{\int}_{0}^{{\approx}0.6}}B({\xi})d{\xi}{\approx}0.85{{\int}_{0}^{1}}B({\xi})d{\xi}$ in the vicinity ${\xi}{\approx}0.6$, there was some dependencies on the given ${\lambda}$ though. The values of ${\lambda}$, in the range of $4{\leq}{\lambda}{\leq}8$, are more suitable to describe submarine's turbulent wake realistically, due to the bases on the quasi equilibrium state of turbulent wake. ${\lambda}$ mainly affects on the radius and detection range of the submarine's turbulent wake on the surface, however, the speed of submarine mainly affect on the duration of the wake rather than shape. If $7{\leq}{\lambda}{\leq}8$, it can be expected that the turbulent wake can be seen on the surface in the West sea, however, snorkeling(or snorkeled) submarine's wake can be found easily in the East sea.

In this paper, we examined the development of Chinese Taoist architecture, its cultural implications, and comprehensively summarized the core principles of the Taoist ecological ideas that are reflected in Taoist architecture. This is a groundwork for exploring an ideological model for sustainable ecological architecture in modern cities. Taoist architecture has a long history that has led to changes, developments, and a gradual maturation. Zhi (治), Lu (廬), and Jing (靖), were the first architectural forms of the early Taoist body. These formed the basis for the future development of Taoist Courts (宮觀). The state-sponsored government-run Taoist Courts established from the time of the North and South Dynasties to the time of Tang Dynasty led to a constant standardization of the rites, and these Courts gradually became more and more formalized. Since the establishment of Quanzhenjiao (全眞敎) in the early 12th century, a movement that emphasized putiy training, architecture for the ascetic practice emerged in remote natural spaces suitable for strict ascetic practices. Meanwhile, in Taoist architecture, the type and structure of buildings were strengthened in order to worship various gods. The various Taoist Courts established through this historical process embody the elements, institutions, and ecological ideas of Taoist culture. Taoist architecture basically pursued the idealism of Paradise in a Deep Cave (洞天福地) and adopted a feng-shui theory of using natural terrain artfully in selecting a place and building a layout. This was reflected through their ecology. Meanwhile, Taoist architecture does not destroy the balance of nature by emphasizing the utilization of local natural resources whenever possible while selecting building materials according to the principles of yinyang and the five movements (陰陽五行). In addition, Taoism aims to select simple places for practising asceticism and ancestral rituals whenever possible because of the need to maintain a simple mind, suppress desire, and return to a state of purity. This attitude is an indication of a kind of simple ecological ideas and value of frugality easily found in Taoism. The ecological ideas of Taoism provide abundant resources for considering solutions to the ecological crisis that arises in the creation of residential environments. Through the ecological ideas of Taoism, we can find a direction to understand the relationship between human beings and nature while creating new, sustainable residential environments.
