  • The beauty is like the bubble of beer, and behavior scholars have been regarded as worthless to study. As a result, the aesthetic in construction projects has resulted in underestimation or neglect. The fundamental cause of this result is that it is not easy to estimate the value of the aesthetic. The hedonic calculus by Bentham has a possibility to valuating the intangible or invisible goods. In this context, this study proposes a method to valuate architectural aesthetic based on the hedonic calculus by Bentham. As a precondition for suggesting the valuation method, this study defined the architectural aesthetic as the value of attraction that affects the value of the built environment. As the concept of beauty that conforms to the architectural aesthetic, it has established the concept of beauty as 'the phenomenon of combining the foreground and background of Hartmann'. In addition, the scope of the value measurement is defined as 'built environment' so as to include not only the building but also the surrounding environment. We have reinterpreted the seven dimension of the hedonic calculus proposed by Bentham and systematized the method of valuation of the architectural esthetic based on the seven dimension. The result of this study is meaningful in that it presents a new perspective and approach to architectural aesthetic. And it will be used as grounds for valuation and analytical approach to architectural aesthetic and will be used as a basis for expanding the field of study from aesthetic to value.

  • In order to investigate community formation ability, herbaceous perennials such as Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne, Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. and Arundinella hirta Tanaka were planted in April 2009 at the levee slope of Gwangju Stream in South Korea. Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne and Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. which grew in pots for two years and divided rhizomes of Arundinella hirta Tanaka gathered from fields were employed. Weeds growing on the experiment sites were removed twice a year until 2011 when the plant species were formed into community. Weeds were not eradicated during 2012 and 2013 to observe community sustainability of the species. T-tests on stem numbers and heights in May, July and September were conducted between 2011 and 2012, and between 2012 and 2013. Stem numbers of the five species in 2012 were significantly reduced(p<0.001) compared with those in 2011, which were attributed to weed growth in 2012. Heights of Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne, Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. and Arundinella hirta Tanaka in 2012 were significantly lower than those in 2011(p<0.001), which resulted from weed invasion. Heights of Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham in May and July 2012 were significantly decreased compared with those in 2011(p<0.001), however, heights of Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham in September 2012 were almost the same as those in 2011(p>0.05). Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham was able to compete against weeds in September 2012. Stem numbers and heights of Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne and Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. in 2013 were similar to those in 2012(p>0.05). However, stem numbers and heights of Arundinella hirta Tanaka in 2013 were significantly decreased compared with those in 2012(p<0.001). After community formation, Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne and Pennisetum alopecuroides (L.) Spreng. were able to maintain its community without weed removal. However, Arundinella hirta Tanaka was unable to establish its community due to the weed growth. Miscanthus sacchariflorus Bentham, Miscanthus sinensis var. purpurascens Rendle, Imperata cylindrica Linne are more suitable to stream levee slope environment in terms of community formation and maintenance, stream landscape enhancement and slope erosion control.

  • This essay aims to develop a critical approach of interpretation in examining the panoptical condition of representation that is said to permeate the tradition of modern realism in novels and paintings. In defining this approach, I am interested in the problem or inability of panoptical representation to tell a coherent story of solitude(solitary confinement, isolation, self-absorption, etc.) in a range of texts from prison documents to paintings and novels, and also what might occasion such an inability including social, material, or stylistic contradictions and conflicting epistemological angles. This task potentially anticipates a trajectory of readings and investigations that cuts through the history of panoptical representation, which is outside the scope of this essay. In this writing, I will engage in a series of debates with what I consider as major theories and views of panoptical representation offered by Jeremy Bentham, John Bender, and Michael Fried. Based on this, I will formulate a conceptual or methodological frame of discourse that would envisage an anti-panoptical approach of interpretation. As an attempt to validate this formulation, I will offer a reading of Henry Mayhew's Criminal Prisons of London and Scenes of Prison Life(1862), a case of panoptical representation that produces a peculiar sense of ambivalence while accounting for sites of penal solitude.

  • The essential oil was extracted from the roots of Angelica dahurica Bentham et Hooker f. by steam distillation and its composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The antifungal activities were evaluated by micro-dilution method against five Aspergillus and three Trichophyton species. The most abundant component was ${\alpha}$-pinene (17.21%) among 40 compounds identified in this oil. The essential oil fraction of A. dahurica and ${\alpha}$-pinene exhibited marked inhibiting activities against the tested Aspergillus and Trichophyton species with MICs (minimum inhibitory concentrations) between 0.12 mg/ml and 8 mg/ml.

  • The purpose of this study is investigate to compare with knowledge classification and library classification system of botany. First, the knowledge field of botany is mainly classified in morphology, physiology, ecology, taxonomy, genetics, evolution and others by the study object of plants. Second, the division of plants is treated in the field of taxonomy, that is, a lower subdivision study of botany, and Engler's classification is still prevalent in the taxonomy. Third, in library classification, KDC, NDC, UDC and CC adopted the Engler's classification, but DDC and LCC was taken of the Bentham & Hooker's classification. In the Engler's classification, plants are arranged by evolution's order, from lower vegetation to higher vegetation, but Bentham & Hooker's classification is arranged in the reverse order. Forth, it is desirable that every plants(482-489) of KDC' botany are subdivided by the attribute or structure of plants being treated in the general botany as if they are subdivided in the DDC or CC.

  • The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant effect of medicinal plants used by diabetic patients. Fourteen medicinal plants were selected and antioxidant activity such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, inhibition effect of linoleic acid autoxidation and low density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were measured. The Cornus officinalis had DPPH radical scavenging activity of 84.79%, which was higher than the 78.79% for $\alpha$-tocopherol. Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Artemisia princeps var. orientalis and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai also had high values. Extracts with higher DPPH radical scavenging activities had higher total phenol concentrations, and positive correlations between these parameters were found. Inhibitory activities of linoleic acid autoxidation, LDL oxidation and TBA value, used as indices of oxidative stress, were observed in most of the selected medicinal plants. The highest inhibitory activity for TBA value was observed in the extract of Pueraria thundergiana Bentham. Rosa rugosa Thunberg (75.50 %), Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai (74.00 %), and Cornus officinalis (73.00 %) all had high antioxidant activity against linoleic acid autoxidation, similar to that of $\alpha$-tocopherol. The same 3 plants also had high in inhibitory activity against LDL oxidation. Therefore, we demonstrated that medicinal plants used as folk remedy by diabetic patients had antioxidant activity. Especially, Rosa rugosa Thunberg, Cornus officinalis, Pueraria thundergiana Bentham, Arlemisia princeps var. orientalis, and Sasamorpha purpurascens Nakai had high phenol concentrations which resulted in high values for DPPH radical scavenging. These same plants exhibited high values for inhibitory activities for TBA value, linoleic acid autoxidation and LDL oxidation, indices associated with lipid peroxidation.
