  • Endemic element of the Russian Far East (RFE) flora includes 497 species of 150 genera and 46 families. The level of endemism in structure of regional natural flora reaches 11.1% as a whole, and in structure of its native fraction - 13.1%. As a result of chorologic and ecocenotic analysis of RFE flora endemic element it is revealed that it consists of 8 main geographical groups and 7 main floristic complexes. The largest number of endemic species is concentrated in Arctic - Alpine & Montane (140, 28.2%), Forest (107, 21.5%) and Maritime (88, 17.7%) floristic complexes as well as in Russian Far East - West-Pacific (136, 27.4%), Japan Sea (88, 17.7%) and North-East-Asian - Beringian (69, 13.9%) geographical groups. It's possible to distinguish three main areas with similar eco-geographical differentiation of endemics on RFE as follows: (1) North-East Asia sector of RFE which North-East-Asian - Beringian and Maritime Okhotia - Beringian geographical groups approximately correspond to, (2) Continental part of East Asia sector of RFE (West - Okhotian, Amur - Okhotian, Amur - Ussirian, Okhotsk Sea and Japan Sea groups) and (3) Oceanic part of East Asia sector (Russian Far East - West Pacific group). Taxonomical variety of RFE endemics on these territories makes up accordingly (1) - 99 species (19.9%), (2) - 259 (52.8%) and (3) - 136 (27.4%).

  • 광범위하게 집중적으로 채소 재배에 이용되고 있는 강원도 태백산맥 지역의 고랭지를 대상으로 유기물 시용이 토양의 비옥도를 비롯한 화학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사했다. 또한 이런 조건에서 재배되는 배추의 생장과 수확량, 그리고 품질을 평가했다. 토양에 첨가한 많은 양의 돈분과 톱밥, 계분과 톱밥, 계분, 퇴비 등의 유기물질과 화학비료가 토양 유기물 함량에는 결과적으로 거의 영향을 미치지 못했다. 토양의 pH에도 마찬가지로 별 영향이 없었다. 그러나 K와 함께 Fe와 Mn의 함량은 감소한 반면 Ca와 Mg의 함량은 증가했으며 특히 유효 $P_2O_5$는 대단히 많은 양이 축적되는 것을 발견하였다. 배추의 양분함량을 내엽과 외엽으로 구분하여 분석한 결과 일반적으로 외엽의 영양소 함량이 내엽보다 많았으며 토양에 첨가한 유기물질의 종류간에는 별 차이가 없었다. 수확량에도 첨가한 유기물질의 종류가 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내게 하지 않았으며 병충해에 의한 피해는 관찰되지 않았다.

  • 강원도 고랭지는 채소 재배지로 그 이용 면적이 매년 급속히 증가하고 있다. 금한 경사와 집중적으로 발생하는 장마철의 폭우는 토양 유실은 물론이고 토양 비옥도의 심각한 저하를 초래할 위험이 경작의 강도와 범위가 넓어짐에 따라 더욱더 증가하고 있다. 또한 험한 지형에 따른 기계화 영농의 어려움과 이에 수반하는 노동력의 낭비로 문제점을 제기한다. 채소 작물 재배를 위해 많이 사용하는 요소 비료, 황산암모늄 비료와 함께 특별히 수지(resin)를 피막 처리한 복합비료를 가지고 배추의 생장과 토양에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수지 피막처리는 각각 7, 10, 15%의 비율로 혼합했다. 배추의 수량은 실험에 사용된 비료간에 큰 차이가 없었다. 요소와 황산암모늄은 기본 시비와 함께 2차례 추비를 하였고 수지 피막 복합 비료는 단 한번 초기에 시비하였다. 따라서 이 경우 노동력 절감과 토양 환경 교란의 최소화를 달성할 수 있었으므로 완효성의 수지 피막 처리 비료가 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 토양에 미치는 효과는 비료의 종류간에 별다른 차이가 없었으나 인산$(P_2O_5)$의 토양내 축적 현상이 t지 피막 처리 복합 비료 시용 구에서 뚜렷하게 조사되었다. 일반적으로 화학 비료의 시용은 토양 반응(pH)의 저하를 초래하였다.

  • The Franz Josef Glacier is sited 250 m above sea level. The moisture westerly winds from Tasman Sea and the feature of the alp geomorphology have made the Franz Josef Slatier. That is why the Franz Josef Slatier is. The Franz Josef Slatier has receded during the past century in response to global warming since the end of the Little ice Age in the 1890s. Even between 2002 and 2003, the Franz Josef Glacier is confirmed retreat ins. This is confirmed by climate factors. The expressing of the Franz Josef Slatier retreating in 2003 which is advanced air temperature and amount of precipitation in 1998 than compared another years. There are lots of metamorphic rock as known biotite, schist, greywack and the Alpine Fault is passing near the Franz Josef Glacier. The grooved and scratching trend surface the rock are observed as the evidence of retreating glacier left.

  • Korea is one of the Northeast Asian countries in the Northern climatic zone. It is wide spread from north to south so that can be affected by various kinds of plants flora of the continent of Asia. Korea has complicated topography, mountains and hills included by an alpine belt. According to the distribution of plants, it can be classified to 5 areas; Northern part, Central part, Southern part, JeJuDo(濟州道) and UlLungDo(鬱陵島). Nakai of Japan, reported Plants in Korean peninsula as 3176 species, 841 varietal species and 174 varieties in "A Synoptical sketch of Korean flora". Lee of Korea, reported 3409 species, 6 sub-species, 756 varietal species and 287 varieties in "Korean Plants Resources". Isidoja(石戶谷) of Japan, simply described crude drug names, scientific names, effects, etc. of 45 species of Korean Medicinal Plants in the book "Journal of Jo-Seon Pharmacy(朝鮮藥學會會報)" third edition (published in 1925) and also explained 250 species of crude drug collected in Manchuria, Mongolia and Korean peninsula in the book "Medicinal plants in Northern Asia(北支那의 藥草)"(1931). Im and Jung organized 227 species of Medicinal Plants in "Wild Medicinal Plants from Jo-Seon(北支那의 藥草)" and it is said that 1000 species of plants can be used for medicinal purposes in Korea.

  • Spatial distribution of urination by Japanese Black heifers and steers was investigated, and compared with the distribution of defecation. The animals grazed a bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum $Fl\ddot{u}gge$) pasture in the daytime, and spent the rest of the day in a barn. The distribution of urination to the pasture was greater than that expected from the proportion of time that the animals spent in the pasture. Correspondingly, the distribution was smaller in the barn. Such a distribution pattern of urination to the pasture and barn was similar to that of defecation, and affected by the intake of supplement on the previous day. The distribution of urination within the pasture, i.e. the distribution to the paddock, alley and resting area, was often uneven on an area basis. The animals often urinated sparsely in the alley and resting area, while they urinated in the paddock almost proportionally to its area. This was a clear contrast to the distribution pattern of defecation, which was sparse in the paddock and dense in the resting area. The degree of aggregation of urination in the paddock, alley and resting area varied with the meteorological factors and the intake of supplement.

  • Forty-four Gansu Alpine Fine-wool lambs were used to study changes in the activities of three gastric and five pancreatic enzymes under grazing conditions between 0 and 56 days of age. The lambs were slaughtered on days 0, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, 42 and 56, the abomasal contents, mucosa and pancreas were immediately removed and placed into liquid nitrogen and enzyme activities were determined. Gastric enzyme (chymosin, pepsin and pregastrc esterase) activities were relatively high at birth, especially chymosin, but decreased quickly between day 0 and 21. The activity of pepsin changed insignificantly with increasing age. There was no significant change in the pancreatic enzyme activities (trypsin, chymotrypsin, ${\alpha}$-amylase, lipase and lactase). The activity of trypsin was relatively higher than that of the other pancreatic enzymes, and lactase activity was low. These ontogenic patterns might be under the control of many gut regulatory peptides, the plasma concentrations of which changed simultaneously. Some gastric and pancreatic enzymes were correlated with plasma concentrations of these gut regulatory peptides.

  • 강원도 평창군 대관령면 횡계리에 위치한 고랭지 밭 2개소를 2009년 3월부 2009년 12월까지 유출이 발생한 강우사상에 대하여 모니터링하고, 유출량을 비교하였다. 모니터링 지점 A에는 콘크리트 배수로가 설치되어있어 밭에서 발생한 강우유출수가 유입되면 빠르게 하천으로 배수되기 때문에 17.2 mm ~ 36.2 mm의 강우에도 유출이 발생하였다. 모니터링 지점 B는 콘크리트 배수로로 유입되기 전 자연(흙) 배수로가 존재하기 때문에 밭에서 발생한 강우유출수가 자연(흙)배수로로 침투되어 적은 강우에서는 유출이 발생하지 않고, 60 mm 이상의 강우에서만 유출이 발생하였다. 특히 7월 9일 발생한 강우에 의하여 모니터링 지점 B의 자연(흙) 배수로가 토사로 메워졌으며, 메워진 토사에 의해 자연(흙)배수로의 기능을 상실한 후부터 지속적으로 유출되었다. 이는 자연(흙) 배수로의 관리가 매우 중요하다는 점을 더욱 강조시키는 결과이며, 강우 발생 후 토사의 제거 등의 관리가 이루어졌다면 강우유출수와 비점오염물질의 유출이 더욱 감소하였을 것으로 판단된다. 자연(흙) 배수로는 식생에 의해 강우타격력과 유속이 작아지기 때문에 자연(흙)배수로의 공극이 막히는 현상이 줄어든다. 공극 막힘 현상이 줄어들면 토양 침투력이 보호되어 강우유출수가 저감된다. 강우유출수의 감소는 비점오염물질의 유출도 저감시킬 수 있는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 고랭지 밭 지역의 최적관리방안으로 무분별한 콘크리트 배수로의 설치보다는 자연(흙) 배수로의 유지와 관리에 초점이 맞추어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Objectives: This study is for characteristics of asbestos occurrence (NOA, naturally occurring asbestos) from the Gapyeong area and its host rocks, serpentinites. Methods: Representative samples are collected from the serpentinite bodies, following degrees of hydrothermal alteration and metamorphism, after about 2 year field trips. Mineralogical, morphological and optical characteristics of the asbestos and host rocks are confirmed by PLM, XRD EPMA and SEM results. Results: The serpentinites are dunites and harzburgites, and host asbestos, including chrysotile, tremolite and actinolite. The asbestos chrysotiles are found as veins ranging from several millimeters to several centimeters in thickness, while asbestos-tremolite and -actinolite occur along cracks and fractures ranging up to ten centimeters in thickness. The chryostiles occur mainly as cross and slip fibers, while the amphibole asbestos is found as vein, slip and oblique fibers. More tremolitic grains are colorless and commonly show elongated or fiber shapes, whereas the magnesio hornblende grains mainly show light green and occur as subhedral to euhedral diamond grains. Conclusions: Overall characteristics of serpentinites from the Gapyeong area are similar to worldwide orogenic-related Alpine type ultramafic rocks serpentinized and serpentinites in South Chungcheong-do Province, Korea, and occurrences of asbestos are similar to those of the ultramafic bodies in South Chungcheong-do Province.

  • To find the action mechanism of the MeOH extract (LFS) of Ligularia fischeri var. spiciformis herbs (Compositae) and its active component, 3,4-dicaffeoylquinic acid (DCQA) on antihepatotoxicity, the effect was investigated on hepatic lipid perxodation and drug-metabolizing enzyme activities in acetaminophen-treated rat. Pretreatment with 250 mg/kg LFS (p.o.) and 10 mg/kg DCQA (p.o.) significantly decreased hepatic lipid peroxidation caused by acetaminophen injection. Further, LFS and DCQA inhibited hepatic microsomal enzyme activation such as hepatic P-450 cytochrome $b_5$, aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine N-demethylase, suggesting that the two substances might effectively prevent the metabolic activation or scavenge electrophilic intermediates capable of causing hepatotoxicity. Both LFS and DCQA increased hepatic glutathione content and glutathione reductase activity, indicating that both resultantly prevented hepatotoxicity via antioxidative mechanism. Therefore, it was found that LFS had antihepatotoxicity based on the antioxidative action of DCQA.
