Drosophila lacertosa and D. sordidula are members of the robusta species group in virilis section of Drosophila. The mtDNA of both species was analyzed, using 10 restriction endonucleases. The mtDNA genome size of D. lacertosa and D. sordidula was 15.7 kbp, altogether, and the numbers of mtDNA fragment were 26 and 32, respectively. Restriction cleavage map of mtDNA in these species was constructed. The patterns of cleavage map were very different between two species and it means that speciation was taken for a long time ago.

In this paper, we propose a method to visualize the geometric features of the contact region between proteins in a protein complex. When proteins or ligands are represented as curved surfaces with irregularities, the property that the two surfaces contact each other without intersections is called shape compatibility. Protein-Protein or Protein-Ligand docking researches have shown that shape complementarity, chemical properties, and entropy play an important role in finding contact regions. Usually, after finding a region with high shape complementarity, we can predict the contact region by using residual polarity and hydrophobicity of amino acids belonging to this region. In the research for predicting the contact region, it is necessary to investigate the geometrical features of the contact region in known protein complexes. For this purpose, it is essential to visualize the geometric features of the molecular surface. In this paper, we propose a method to find the contact region, and visualize the geometric features of it as normal vectors and mean curvatures of the protein complex.

In conceptual design stage it is important to develop structural forms freely. However, structural engineers are prompt to consider types of structural systems following load paths rather than to imagine various forms. This study attempts to expand the limit of imagination that was blocked within engineering approach newly from geometric perspective view. First of all, existing bridge structures are reviewed in terms of geometric vocabulary. Some bridge forms showing apparent geometric features are regenerated through the geometric approach proposed in this study. This study is not to develop geometric principle to build new structural forms, but to propose the geometric approach to generate design alternatives using the well established geometry concepts.

예방 의학에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있는 현대 생활에서 사상체질 진단을 통한 건강 유지는 누구나 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 방법 중에 하나이며, 이를 위해 사상의학(四象醫學)적 이론이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나, 사상의학에서 사상체질 진단 및 분류는 매우 중요한 과제로서 많은 학자들에 의해 연구되고 있으나 지금까지 객관적으로 인정된 방법이나 기술은 없다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 외형적 특징을 통한 사상 체질 분류를 연구하기 위한 목적으로 안면부의 형태학적인 특징을 도출하였다. 즉, 안면 영상에서 눈과 입을 추출하여 결과 영상과 사상체질 간의 상관성을 규명하기 위하여 안면 영상의 형태학적 분석을 이용한 사상체질의 판별을 시도하였다. 특히, 한방의 망진(望診) 방법에 근거하여 사상체질을 객관적으로 진단, 분류하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 최종적으로 실험에 의해 제안한 방법의 유용성을 입증하고자 한다.

The growth and development of Pygidiopsis summa were studied in experimental rats and mice, and a special reference was given to its morphological characters differed from the type species, P. genata. The metacercariae were obtained from young mullets (Mugil sp.), and total 21 rats and mice infected each with 1,000 metacercariae. Worms of various ages of infection, from 3 to 28 days, were subjected to a microscopic observation. The worms grew rapidly and remarkably in size up to 10 days of infection, to become 0.53~0.82mm long and 0.31~0.39mm wide, but nearly stopped the growth thereafter. Their genital organs developed more rapidly and fully matured within 3~5 days. At 3 days several eggs were found in uterus. The presence of two groups of small spines, 5~6 on the right and 7~9 on the left side of the genital apparatus, was a new finding in this study and considered a distinct character of P. summa. The morphology of ventral sucker and intestinal ceca was also different from P. genata. This study confirms the validity of the species, P. summa.

Cymopterus melanotilingia (Apiaceae) was reviewed by external morphology and cross-section of leaf-margin and mericarp, and the taxonomic position of species and genus was reexamined. Based on these results, the description and adistribution map of C. melanotiligia were obtained. The leaf-margin forms a collenchymatous ridge by projecting toward the lower part. One mericarp has 2-lateral ribs and 2-intermediate ribs and the other mericarp has 2-lateral ribs and 1-dorsal rib, suggesting each of them is asymmetric. These characters show that this species does not belong to the genus Ostericum s.s., but should be treated as the genus Cymopterus.

뽕나무과(Moraceae) 닥나무속(Broussonetia)의 품종에 대한 국내 연구동향으로는 잎의 성상이나 암꽃의 포길이, 엽신의 폭과 같은 수목학 분수학적 관점으로 특징을 파악하기 때문에 구분이 어려운 실정이다. 또한 닥나무(Broussonetia kazinoki Siebold)와 꾸지나무[Broussonetia papyrifera (L.) $L^{\prime}H{\acute{e}}r.$ ex Vent.]의 수목학적 특징이 유사하여 오동정의 사례가 발생하기도 한다. 닥나무의 향명은 다양하게 불리지만 그 분류기준은 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 총 4개 마커(ITS, matK, trnL-F, ndhF)의 염기서열 분석과 분자계통학적 분류를 통해 닥나무와 꾸지나무의 교잡종으로 확인된 전라도지역 닥나무 8개체에 대하여 펄프제지 자원으로써의 특성을 확인하였다. 8개체 인피섬유의 형태학적 특징인 섬유장, 섬유폭, 섬유 내강(Lumen)폭을 통해 Runkel ratio, Slenderness ratio, Flexibility coefficient, Rigidity coefficient를 도출하고 종이의 기계적 강도, 내절도와의 상관관계, 섬유와 섬유간의 결합력 등을 예측하였다. 상기와 같은 연구결과는 유전형질이 동일한 전라도지역 닥나무의 형태학적 특성을 통해 펄프제지 공정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 인자들을 분석 하였다. 이러한 특성에 따라 다양한 품질의 종이를 제조 할 수 있는 기초 자료로 제공될 것이다.
