This article describes the development, evaluation and dissemination of biological nursing (bionursing) science courses established in Korea. Prior to this innovation the subject such as anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, pharmacology and pathology were taught by non-nursing faculties, such as basic medical science faculty members. And it often did not meet and satisfy the needs of most undergraduate nursing students. To meet these needs, we have developed four bionursing courses by overhauling individual courses and integrating these by creating new titles, objectives, and contents. In this process, the Korean Society of Biological Nursing has made enormous efforts to standardize the contents of the courses and to develop standard syllabus of four bionursing subjects. This article also suggests for further development of bionursing science such as enhanced linkage of the contents of bionursing science courses with clinical practice, reinforcement of teaching competency of professors, and activation of researches using various biological measurement to provide concrete evidences for nursing practice.

Prebiotic oligosaccharides, with a degree of polymerization (DP) of mostly less than 10, exhibit diverse biological activities that contribute to human health. Currently available prebiotics are mostly derived from disaccharides and simple polysaccharides found in plants. Subtle differences in the structures of oligosaccharides can cause significant differences in their prebiotic properties. Therefore, alternative substances supplying polysaccharides that have more diverse and complex structures are necessary for the development of novel oligosaccharides that have actions not present in existing prebiotics. In this review, we show that structural polysaccharides found in plant cell walls, such as xylans and pectins, are particularly potential resources supplying broadly diverse polysaccharides to produce new prebiotics.

The integrative ecological approaches of chemical assessments, physical habitat modelling, and multi-metric biological health modelling were applied to Gwanpyeong Stream within Gap-Stream watersheds to evaluate environmental impacts on the constructions of residential and commercial complex. For the analysis, the surveys conducted from 45 sites of reference streams within the Gap-Stream watershed and 3 regular sites during 2009 - 2010. Physical habitat health, based on the habitat model of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index(QHEI) declined from the headwaters(good - fair condition) to the downstream(poor condition). Chemical water quality, based turbidity and electric conductivity(EC), was degraded toward to the downstream, and especially showed abrupt increases, compared to the values of control streams(CS). Also, concentrations of chlorophyll-a in the downstreams were greater compared to the control stream(CS), indicating an eutrophication. Biological health conditions, based on the Index of Biological Integrity(IBI) using fish assemblages, averaged 19.3 which is judged as a fair condition by the biological criteria of the Ministry of Environment, Korea. The comparisons of model metric values in sensitive species and riffle-benthic species on the Maximum Species Richness Line(MSRL) of 45 reference streams indicated a massive disturbances in all sampling locations. Also, tolerance guild and trophic guild analyses suggest that dominances of tolerant species and omnivores were evident, indicating a biological degradation by habitat disturbances and organic matter pollutions. There was no distinct longitudinal variations of IBI model values from the headwater to the downstream in spite of slight chemical and habitat health gradients among the sampling sites. Overall, integrative ecological health(IEH) scores, based on the chemical, physical, and biological parameters, were low compared to the 45 reference streams due to physical and chemical disturbances of massive constructions of the residential and commercial complex. This stream, thus showed a tendency of typical urban streams which are disturbed in the chemical water quality, habitat structures, and biological integrity. Effective stream management plans and restoration strategies are required in this urban stream for improving integrative stream health.

생물학 데이터 마이닝은 생물학 데이터의 볼륨이 급격하게 증가함에 따라 최근 주목받고 있다. 그리드 기술은 계산 자원과 데이터 공유와 활용을 가능하게 한다. 이 논문에서는 생물학 데이터 마이닝과 그리드 기술을 결합한 혼합형 시스템을 제안한다. 특히, 생물학 데이터 마이닝의 처리 효율성을 위해 결정 범위 조정 알고리즘을 사용한다. 우리는 이 알고리즘을 통해 빠르고 자동으로 신뢰할 만한 데이터 마이닝 인식률을 얻는다. 게다가 그리드 환경에서는 지리적으로 분산된 자원들을 연동하기 때문에 통신량과 자원 할당이 이슈가 된다. 우리는 동적 로드 밸런싱을 제안하고 그리드 기반 생물학 데이터 마이닝 기법에 적용한 다. 성능 평가를 위해 우리는 평균 처리 시간, 평균 통신 시간, 평균 자원 활용도를 측정한다. 측정 실험의 결과는 제안된 두 알고리즘을 적용한 우리의 기법이 처리 시간과 비용 측면에서 이점을 제공한다는 것을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 1999년 9월에서 2000년 8월 기간동안 생물 보전지수(Index of Biological Integrity, IBI) 및 질적 서식지 평가 지수(Qualitative Habitat EvaluationIndex, QHEI)를 이용하여 한강수계의 상류에 위치하는 평창강의 건강도를 평가하였다. 조사 결과, 11개 메트릭을 이용한 평균 IBI값은 49(범위: 51${\sim}$45)로서 Karr(1981)가 제시한 기준에 의거할 때 하천 건강도(Stream　Health)는 Good${\sim}$Excellent상태 사이에 있었고, 평균 QHEI값은 88(범위: 94${\sim}$76)로서 물리적 서식지측면에서의 건강도는 최적상태 (Comparable to　reference) 혹은 생물의 서식에는 적합한 상태 (Supporting)를 보였다. 지점별 TBI값의 비교에 따르면 상, 하류사이에 미약한 차이를 보인 반면, 각 조사지점의 QHEI값은 이용된 변수특성에 따른 변이를 보였다. 1차 회귀분석 결과에 따르면, QHEI값은 하천차수(Streamorder)와 유의한 관계가 없었다(p=1.8; n=7). 이러한 결과는 하천차수가 증가해도 점 오염원의 부재로 인해 서식지에는 큰 변화가 없었기 때문으로 사료되었다. Feed guild분석에 따르면, 식충성 어류(Insectivore)의 상대 풍부도는 전체 어종의85.1%를,잡식성 어류(Omnivore)및 육식성 어류(Car-nivore)는 각각 전체 어종의 3.5%및 0.3%를 차지하였다. 내성도의 경우, 서식지 파괴 및 오염에 쉽게 감소되는 민감종의 상대 빈도는 75.0%, 내성종은 4.6%로서 뚜렷한 차이를 보였으며, 도입종(exotics species)및 비정상종(anomalies species)의 개체는 채집되지 않았다. 또한 회귀분석 결과, 지점별 평균 IBI값의 변이는 QHEI값의 변화에 의해 57%까지 설명되었다($R^2$=0.57,p<0.05,n=7).본 조사에서 산정된 개개 메트릭 특성, IBI값 및　QHEI값의 상호관계에 따르면, 평창강의 현재 수 환경은 생물 서식에 적절한 상태에서 최적 상태의 범위에 있음이 분명하나, 오염 및 물리적 서식지가 파괴될 경우 감소될 수 있음을 시사하였다.

There are Two new models developed for objective evaluation of fabric color patterns by applying a multiple regression analysis and an adaptive foray-rule-based system. The physical features of fabric color patterns are extracted through digital image processing and the emotional features are collected based on the psychological experiments of Soen[3, 4]. The principle physical features are hue, saturation, intensity and the texture of color patterns. The emotional features arc represented thirteen pairs of adverse adjectives. The multiple regression analyses and the adaptive fuzzy system are used as a tool to analyze the relations between physical and emotional features. As a result, both of the proposed models show competent performance for the approximation and the similar linguistic interpretation to the Soen's psychological experiments.

The objectives of this study are to develop an agricultural drought evaluation model based on administrative boundaries and to assist the effective drought-related decision-making of local governments. The model which was named ADEM(Administrative Drought Evaluation Model for Paddies) is designed to simulate daily water balance between available water quantities from various agricultural water facilities such as reservoirs, wells, pump stations, etc. and water requirements in paddies. And in order to numerically describe the agricultural drought severity, two indices were defined; One is ADFP(Agricultural Drought Frequency for Paddies) which is calculated with a frequency analysis of monthly water deficit, and the other is ADIP(Agricultural Drought Index for Paddies) with a scale of $-4.2{\sim}+4.2$. The developed model was applied to Yeoju district and showed good correspondence with the historical records of drought.

Soil salinization refers to the buildup of salts in soil to a level toxic to plants. The major factors that contribute to soil salinity are the quality, the amount and the type of irrigation water used. The presented review discusses the different sources and causes of soil salinity. The effect of soil salinity on biological processes of plants is also discussed in detail. This is followed by a debate on the influence of salt on the nutrient uptake and growth of plants. Salinity decreases the soil osmotic potential and hinders water uptake by the plants. Soil salinity affects the plants K uptake, which plays a critical role in plant metabolism due to the high concentration of soluble sodium ($Na^+$) ions. Visual symptoms that appear in the plants as a result of salinity include stunted plant growth, marginal leaf necrosis and fruit distortions. Different strategies to ameliorate salt stress globally include breeding of salt tolerant cultivars, irrigation to leach excessive salt to improve soil physical and chemical properties. As part of an ecofriendly means to alleviate salt stress and an increasing considerable attention on this area, the review then focuses on the different plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) mediated mechanisms with a special emphasis on ACC deaminase producing bacteria. The various strategies adopted by PGPB to alleviate various stresses in plants include the production of different osmolytes, stress related phytohormones and production of molecules related to stress signaling such as bacterial 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) derivatives. The use of PGPB with ACC deaminase producing trait could be effective in promoting plant growth in agricultural areas affected by different stresses including salt stress. Finally, the review ends with a discussion on the various PGPB activities and the potentiality of facultative halophilic/halotolerant PGPB in alleviating salt stress.
