May rainfall (317 years: A.D. 1682~A.D. 1998) of western region of Sorak Mt. was reconstructed using a tree-ring chronology of Pinus densiflora 5. et 2. The reconstruction indicated that the 1690~1710년, 1745~1755 and 1847~1853 periods were the least May rainfalls, whereas 1715~1733 and 1835~1845 the greatest ones. The wet period of 1835~1845 was agreed with that found in Songni Mt., central Korea. This wet epoch seems to be widely spreaded in Korea. There were found no significant differences among the means of the 18th, 19th and 20th century's May rainfalls. The major periodicity of May rainfalls was 2~4 years.

Data on reported cancer mortality in the Gyeongsangbuk- do province from 1991 to 1998 were collected and analyzed using the existing mortality reporting system as well as the public health network to furnish accurate data on reported cancer death and to collect data to establish a high quality district health plan. The overall crude death rate in Gyeongsangbuk province in 1991 was 74.56 deaths per 100,000-person but this rate increased to 79.22 in 1998. Among the deaths, the overall death rate of cancer was 16.7% in 1991, which increased to 19.3% in 1998; specifically the death rate of men increased from 19.4% in 1991 to 22.3% in 1998 while that of women increased from 12.4% in 1991 to 15.5% in 1998, showing a more increase among women. The types of cancer and associated death rates in 1991 were gastric cancer(41.5%), followed by liver cancer (28.8%), and lung and bronchogenic carcinoma(8.7%) and in 1998, gastric cancer (24.7%), followed by liver cancer(22.7%), lung and bronchogenic carcinoma(19.3%), showing the same order. For men and women, gastric cancer(40.2% and 44.7%, respectively) was the most common cancer death, followed by liver cancer(33.7% and 16.7%, respectively), and lung and bronchogenic carcinoma(10.2% and 5.0%, respectively) in 1991. However, in 1998, gastric cancer(27.8%) was still the most common type among both men and women, followed by liver cancer (18.5%) and lung and bronchogenic carcinoma(12.7%), showing the most decrease in gastric cancer but most increase in lung and bronchogenic carcinoma. The age- adjusted mortality rates by gastric cancer, hepatoma, laryngeal carcinoma were decreased in both male and female, and also uterine cancer was decreased in female. The age- adjusted mortality rates by lung and bronchogenic carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, rectal cancer were increased in both male and female, and also breast cancer was increased in female. The calculated overall age-adjusted death rate based on the 1995 population was 84.25 in 1991, which decreased to 77.67 in 1998. Male death rate decreased significantly from 119.81 in 1991 to 101.82 in 1998 while the female death rate increased from 48.64 in 1991 to 53.80 in 1998. A census of cancer death rate using accurate death records is important for the establishment of proper and high-quality district health and medical plan and policy. The effort to improve the accuracy of death reports using the health facility network, as had been attempted by this study, can be continued. Furthermore, there must be a way for the Health and Welfare Department to use the death reports to improve the present reporting system. Lastly, additional studies need to be conducted to investigate how much the accuracy was improved by the supplemented death reports in this study.

The recovery of vegetation in the burned area after forest fire was investigated in Mt. Sirubng, Jinju city, from 1994 to 2000. The floristic composition of a burned area was 37 kinds in 2000. The life from spectra of six sites showed H-D1-R5-e type. This type is similar to the life form which has been usually showed in most of burned areas. Total diversity index of six burned sites showed 2.135 (1996), 3.784 (1998), and 2.948 (2000). whereas, total diversity index of six unburned sites was 2.642 (1996), 2.516 (1998), and 2.723 (2000). Evenness index of six sites showed 1.816 (1996), 2.641 (1998), and 1.925 (2000). The dominant index of burned and unburned areas were 0.012 and 0.250 (1996), 0.031 and 0.261 (1998, and 0.110 and 0.275 (2000), respectively. The degree of succession in the unburned area gradually increased and the burned area was recovered to be similar to the unburned area after three years.

Based on household characteristics, this study analyzes the sources of changes in income class. Using KLI panel data in 1998 and 2001, household equivalent income is calculated and households whose income class is changed are identified. Various household characteristics are examined to understand which characteristics are influential in income class changes. Empirical estimations are carried out by employing an ordered probit model. Region of residence, age of household head, education level of the head, the number of employed family members in 1998, and a change in the number of employed family members are shown to be statistically significant. Calculation of marginal probability based on the ordered probit estimation results show that the probability of upward movement in income class decreases as a household lives in rural areas, while the probability of upward movement increases as the household's head is better educated, the number of employed family members are higher and there is a higher increase in the number of employed family members. Age of the head has mixed results; while the probability of upward movement in income class decreases as the head gets older for the households in middle and high income classes, that probability increases as the head is in the range of the 40s and the 50s in low income class households.

Purpose : There was an epidemic of aseptic meningitis in Korea for 3 years from 1996 to 1998. In this study, we reported the time of outbreak, age and sex distribution, clinical manifestations, laboratory data, and complications of the children with aseptic meningitis. Methods : We reviewed clinical records of 192 aseptic meningitis patients who had been admitted to Pohang St. Mary's Hospital from 1996 to 1998. Results : Aseptic meningitis occurred most frequently in July and August. The ratio of male to female was 1.91 : 1, and the most prevalent age was 1 to 5 years of age. The main symptoms were fever, vomiting, headache in this order of frequency. Peripheral blood showed leukocytosis(WBC > $10,000/mm^3$) in 44.3% of the cases. CSF examination showed WBC count were less than $500/mm^3$ in 88.0%, protein levels less than 40 mg/dL in 61.5%, and glucose levels more than 40 mg/dL in 94.3% of the cases. We did not isolate the causative viral agents. Conclusion : Aseptic meningitis was prevalent in children in the Pohang area from 1996 to 1998. Clinical manifestations and CSF profiles of aseptic meningitis patients showed no great difference compared to other reported.

Grape phylloxera, Daktulosphaira vitifoliae(Fitch), is a destructive grape insect pest because it forms root galls and kills the plant by directly destroying root system. The effects of insecticide treatments were examined to establish the chemical control system of phylloxera, and the damage by this insect was investigated in grapevine yards. The treatments of 40kg carbofuran 3GR per ha and carbosulfan 20WP of 10$\ell$ (1,000$\times$) per tree successfully reduced phylloxera densities. After the insecticide treatments in early season, the phylloxera population rebuilt up again at harvest season. In a grapevine yard where two times of carbofuran treatment (mid-May and post-harvest treatment) were applied a year from 1998 to 2000, total yield per ha in 2000 showed an increase of 30% over that of 1998. But the yield in 2000 was low 20% compared to the average standard yield of Korean grapevine yards. In a grapevine yard without chemical treatment during the same years, total yield per ha in 2000 showed 53% reduction compared to that of 1998. Also, damaged vines by phylloxera abruptly increased from 3% in 1998 to 50% in 2000.

Weekly changes of water environments and phytoplankton community with the salinity gradients were investigated at Gyoungpo Lake from April to November in 1998 and 2012. Underwater crossam in Gyoungpo Lake was removed in 2004. Thereafter, average salinity of Gyoungpo lake increased from 7.5 ppt in 1998 to 20 ppt in 2012. A total of 99 and 80 species of phytoplankton was observed from the sampled in 1998 and 2012, respectively. The number of common species during the 2 separate years was 40. Transparency, SS, $NO_3-N$ concentration and N/P ratio in 2012 were lower than those in 1998. During the period of water shortage (April, May) of 2012 transparency decreased due to decreased salinity and increased SS and Chl. a. Correlation coefficients between species and community scores of DCA ordination based on data matrix of the phytoplankton revealed larger variation among sampling seasons in 1998 than in 2012. The increase of seawater influx and conversion rates following the removal of the underwater crossbeam might explain such a differential variation. Gymnodium sp., Peridinium sp., Prorocentrum sp., Nitzschia longissima, Schroederia setigera, Lyngbya sp., Asterococcus limneticus, Asterococcus superbus and Cyclotella meneghiniana were found to well adapt at the high salinities in 2012. Comparatively, Asterrionella formosa, Nitzschia frustulum, Chlorella ellipsoidea, Scenedesmus bijuga and Scenedesmus ellipsoideus were observed at lower salinities in 1998. Two quite contrasting phytoplankton communities were found in the two seasons of a year, spring with limited precipitation and summer, the flood season.

본 연구는 국적항공사를 포함하여 지난 1998${\sim}$2001년까지 세계 주요 항공사들의 생산성의 변화 추이가 어떻게 전개되었고, 어떤 요인에 의해 영향을 받았는지를 분석하였다. 특히, 1997년 금융위기 이후 생산성의 변화에 주안점을 두었다. 추정결과, 우선 세계 주요 항공사들은 1998${\sim}$2001년 기간 동안 약 0.3%의 생산성 하락을 기록하였고, 이러한 생산성의 변화는 생산 프론티어에 비해 0.9% 악화된 반면, 산출물을 생산하는 기술 수준은 0.6% 확대된 것으로 분석되었다. 다음으로, 항공사의 '유상톤키로미터' 기준에 의한 규모별 생산성 증가율은 소형규모(group1)와 대형규모(group6)에 속한 항공사들에서 각각 3.5%, 2.1% 하락한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 중형사들은 생산성의 증가가 이루어진 것으로 제시되었다. 또한, 기간별로는 1997년 금융위기 이후 1998년과 1999년은 각각 1.5%, 0.2%의 생산성 하락을 보였다가, 2000년은 1.7% 생산성이 다소 향상되었으며, 2001년 다시 1.2%의 생산성 하락을 보이고 있다. 마지막으로 항공사별로는 동 기간 동안 아시아지역 항공사들(AAR, SIA, ANA 등)은 생산상 향상을 가져온 반면, 미국 항공사들(UAL, AAL 등)은 생산성 하락을 가져온 것을 알 수 있다. 국적항공사의 경우에는 KAL은 1998${\sim}$1999년 기간 동안은 생산성 하락을 가져왔으나, 2000${\sim}$2001년은 큰 폭의 생산성 향상을 가져왔다. AAR은 1998년 생산성 하락이 이루어진 이후 1999년부터는 높은 생산성 향상이 이루어졌다.

The occurrence of melanose was investigated on yuzu at Goheung and Boseong in Jeonnam province in 1997 and 1998 seasons. The disease occurrence on leaf was initiated from late May in 1997 and early May in 1998, severest in late of June on leaf, and in case of fruit, initiated from early July in 1997 and late June in 1998 with a peak in early August. The disease was occurred in twenty days more earlier in 1998 season than 1997 season. We think this was caused by temperatures during April and May. And it was supposed that the disease severity on the severest late of June was closely related to the rainfall and relative humidity during June. The disease severity was severer in old tree than the young.
