Plate tectonics, with the continental drift theory and later strongly supported by the sea-floor spreading theory with evidence of paleo-geomagnetic fields, ocean floor sediments, successfully explained the slow but continuous movements of rigid lithospheres in geological time. Initially, plate motions were described as relative movements between adjacent plates, mainly based on paleo-geomagnetic reversal data. The advent of space geodetic techniques in the 1980s enabled direct measurements of plate velocities and assessment of deformations within certain regions. In this review, early relative plate motion models are briefly summarized, the no-net-rotation frame theory and corresponding models are explained, and the characteristics of the most recent models that incorporate intraplate deformation are described. Additionally, the plate motion section of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame is introduced, and a few recent case studies of local plate motion are briefly described; for example, in South America, Europe, Antarctica, and Turkey. Finally, studies of plate motion in northeastern Asia focusing on the Korean Peninsula are introduced.

Interest in chum salmon(Oncorhynchus keta) biology I Korea has increased since the establishment of the Yangyang Inland Hatchery of the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute during mid 1980s. The enhancement program of chum salmon was expanded thereafter, so that chum salmon were transplanted 18 streams in the coast of the Korean Peninsula. However, ecological research on salmon species was very limited due to the lack of a research program. Though involvement in the North Pacific Anadromous Fish Commission (NPAFC) requires scientific investigation on salmon research of each member nation, no conspicuous increase in research funding was achieved in Korea. Oceanic environments have been rapidly altered by climate change during the last a few decades and ocean ecosystems including salmon populations will be modified by global warming. Special attention is needed for stocks near the southern boundary of distribution, such as Korean chum salmon. This special issue is the venue for reviewing ongoing researches in Korea, and we hope that this issue will be a big step toward active ecological research in Korea under changing environments.

The development of a benthic filamentous green algal community formed by Spiro gyra sp. in early summer has been observed in the littoral zones in the north basin of Lake Biwa since the 1980s. The development of a Spirogyra sp. community may have an effect on the increase in the biomass of the benthic algal community in early summer and on the alterations in seasonal fluctuation patterns of the biomass. In this mini-review, the causes underlying the development of the Spirogyra sp. community are discussed on the basis of studies in the seasonal fluctuations of benthic algal communities in littoral stony zones carried out in 1963-1964, 1995-1996 and 2000-2001, especially those focusing on the nutrient concentration $(NO_3^--N)$. $NO_3^--N$ concentrations in June were higher than $100{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ in 1995 and 2000 in contrast to a concentration in June 1964 of only $20{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. These results show that $NO_3^--N$concentrations throughout in 1963-1964 period were considerably lower than those in 1995-1996 and 2000-2001, suggesting that the $NO_3^--N$concentration may have served as a limiting factor on Spirogyra sp. growth in 1963. $NO_3^--N$ concentrations in the pelagic zone in the north basin of Lake Biwa have clearly increased from the 1950s under the impact of economic growth and the increasing population in the watershed. The development of the Spirogyra sp. community seems to be the result of a heady increase in the nutrient supply from human activities.

Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRs) has been applied for rapid and nondestructive paper measurement by replacing the current destructive method to the property of paper. Current standard methods for the property of paper were pH, moisture, breaking length, and folding endurance, which data were compared with spectrum of FT-NIR spectrometer. Various paper products such as copy, envelope, white, newspaper, as well as old paper produced around 1960~1980 were used as the sample. The correlation ($R^2$) and standard error of prediction (SEP) results for breaking length, folding endurance, moisture and pH are $R^2$=0.914, SEP=0.508, $R^2$=0.926, SEP=0.281, $R^2$=0.941, SEP=0.931, pH $R^2$=0.949, SEP= -0.0631, respectively. This result show that NIRs can be applied to practical application for nondestructive analysis of paper records materials.

This Article examines the main approaches to the public understanding of science(PUS) in light of the changing relation of science and public. Traditional approach called deficit model recognizes scientific knowledge as a entity, unidirectionally diffusing to public. This View basically presupposes the gap between science and public. Meanwhile, this approach has an aspiration to reduce the gap. So there is a paradoxical situation in the traditional PUS. Public perception of environmental crisis and risk of science has been risen since late 1980's. And the science technology studies (STS) have criticized traditional approach. STS proposes new approach of constructive PUS. Constructive PUS conceives the public to have heterogeneous, local characteristic. This approach has been very fertile both in theory and practice. But most recently, newly proposed approach, so called heterogeneous PUS, criticizes constructive PUS. Main point of criticism is that constructive PUS has dichotomy between science and public, and romanticizes the public. It is uncertain whether heterogeneous PUS can take place of constructive PUS. But this trend has the implication that the relation of science and public is constantly changing.

The Study overviews the development process throughout the foundation procedure of the records centres of the urban Construction. The other purpose of the study is to look over the managing process of urban construction records in the Shanghai Municipal Urnan Construction Archives. As the late of 1950s in China, the principle was set up as the special work in every stage of the urban construction, differently general public records. so records centres is established at the agency where is in charge of the records of urban-construction that has managed the records of the urban-construction intensively and unitarily. During the Great Culture Revolution, while Records Management has ceased. after Revolution, Records management for urban construction developed unprecedentedly. As the 1980s in China, urban construction archives instead of records centres existing started to manage records of urban construction. urban construction archives was established at the 332 of 467 urban the whole country in the 1990s. Shanghai Municipal Urban Construction Archives founded in 1987 where has preserved urban construction records of 230,000 files by abiding by the Provisional Regulation of Management of Urban Construction Archives in Shanghai and other regulations. recently urban construction records management looks forward to new aspect. at first, Managing system setting up for affordable new environment (market economy, modernization of information disclosure)is core stage. second, developing the contents as well as managing records is important. finally making a profit is priority for records management.

Since the 1980s, the western welfare states have experienced a wide spectrum of socio-economic changes; changes in population composition, the economic globalization, the post-industrialization, an increasing flexibility in the labor market. etc. This study examines the trend of poverty in welfare states, and analyzes how those socio-economic changes are related to it. For these purposes, this study first calculates the poverty indices for several years in 10 welfare states using the Luxembourg Income Study database, and then decomposes the index by subpopulation and income sources. Major findings of this study can be summarized as follows. First of all, the welfare state in general has experienced an increasing trend in the degree of poverty since the 1980s. In particular, poverty has greatly intensified in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Many other welfare states including Canada, Germany, Sweden, and Norway have also experienced substantial increases in poverty. The increasing trend of poverty is not wholly due to changes in population composition such as increases in the aging population and one-parent(mother) families. Contrary to the traditional belief, these population groups are not as much poor as the working-age population. In particular, the degree of poverty in the elderly is less severe than in the working-age group. Furthermore, since the 1980s the market income poverty in the aging population has shown a decreasing trend in many welfare states. The degree and trend of poverty in one-parent families vary greatly across countries, owing to the labor market and income transfer policies. The most important reason for the increasing poverty trend in the welfare state is that the degree of poverty has been deepening in the working-age population. Especially, the market income poverty of the working-age population has considerably increased in every country except the Netherlands. Structural changes in the economy and the labor market may drive the increasing trend of poverty. Further studies and deliberate anti-poverty policies are needed to tackle the factors relating to the increase in the market income poverty.

Since reinforced soil walls were introduced in domestic civil engineering society in early 1980's, various reinforcing materials including metal strips, bar mats, and sheet-type reinforcement using geotextile, geogrid, and etc. have been developed for construction purpose. Especially, the geogrid has been mostly used as a reinforcement for reinforced earth structures. This paper describes the tensile behaviors of four types of domestic geogrids. Also, a series of the wide-width tensile tests on three types of geogrids were conducted to assess the reliability of the tensile strains in geogrid measured by strain gauge. The tensile strain by strain gauge is larger than real strain of the geogrid and a difference between strain gauge reading and real strain non-linearly increase with increasing the tensile strain. However, when the tensile strain is smaller than 3%, a difference between strain gauge reading and real strain is negligible.

Prior to the 1980's, reappraisal and deaccessioning were considered as an 'anti-archival' activity. Recently. however, many archivists have come to realize that a reappraisal and deaccessioning is essential to providing better access to more important records and to strengthen and refine holdings. To develop a program with strong and well-focused holding appropriate to the Purpose and environments of archives. archives have to carry out systematic and continuing Procedure to reevaluate past appraisal. This study explores the various main issues and opinions with regard to reappraisal and deaccessioning and then. suggests the reappraisal principles and deaccessioning procedures such as return of the materials to donor. transfer to more appropriate depository, destruction of the material.

Representative crashworthiness requirement documents for military helicopter are MIL-STD-1290 and the Aircraft Crash Survival Design Guide(ACSDG) which were lastly revised in the 1980's. Taking analysis results of diverse U.S. Army helicopter mishaps into account, we can say that adequate guidelines do not exist to ensure crashworthiness of new generation aircraft. In this paper, U.S. Army helicopter mishap analysis conducted by U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command(RDECOM) is readjusted to review the basis of new crashworthiness design criteria for military helicopter, in other words, Full Spectrum Crashworthiness Criteria(FSCC). This analysis effort is a part of FSC development. This effort was to research and quantify the dynamics of military aircraft crashes to be used as the quantitative basis for new design criteria.
