Temperature programmed oxidation (TPO) is used to characterize coke species deposited on commercial nickel catalyst, C11-PR during propane pre-reforming. Propane pre-reforming performed under various condition, S/C from 1.5 to 2.5 and temperature from $350^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. There are three kinds of coke species detected by TPO: (i) reactive coke, (ii) coke deposited on metal site and (iii) coke deposited on acid support. Coke deposited on metal and support are minimized although reactive coke is generated at temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0. Reactive coke is expected to remove easily below temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Therefore, optimized pre-reforming condition for propane is $400^{\circ}C$ and S/C of 2.0.

Numerical simulations of 1, 2 dichloroethane(EDC) pyrolyisis are conducted to understand the process in the production of the vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) and by-products. A chemical kinetic mechanism Is developed, with the adopted scheme involving 44 gas-phase species and 260 elementary forward and backward reactions. Detailed sensitivity analyses and the rates of production analysis are performed on each of the reactions and the various species, respectively. The concentrations of EDC, VCM, and HCI predicted by this mechanism are in good agreement with those deduced from experiments of commercial and laboratory scale. The mechanism is found to accurately predict the EDC yield an(1 the production of by-products by varying the ranges of pyrolysis temperature, residence time, and pressure which impact on the pyrolysis of 1, 2 dichloroethane. The influence of reactions related to H atom on the relative sensitivity of EDC becomes important as the residence time increases. The pyrolysis of EDC mainly occurs through C$_2$H$_4$Cl$_2$+Cl=CH$_2$CICHI+HCI.

The genus Porphyra, consisting of 133 species includes several economically valuable species (i.e. P. yezoensis, P. tenera, P. pseudolinearis etc.). They are predominantly consumed and cultivated in East Asian countries such as Japan, Korea and China, and they are regarded as a big commercial market today. In addition to the industrial importance, P. yezoensis is currently regarded as a feasible candidate for a model plant in marine biotechnology, therefore there are a wide range of studies being undertaken: strain-preservation, development of mutant strains and genetic analysis and exhaustive molecular analysis including EST and macro/micro array. Focusing on the activities of our research group, current situation and future perspectives in marine biotechnological studies using P. yezoensis will be discussed in this mini review.

One specimen of Pteraclis aesticola was collected off San Jose del Cabo, Baja California Sur, Mexico ($22^{\circ}54'N$, $109^{\circ}45'W$), in March 2007. Present record is the first reported occurrence of the species in the Tropical Eastern Pacific biogeographic region (Gulf of California to southern Ecuadorian waters). Its large fan-like anal and dorsal fins and its counts of fin rays and vertebrae can distinguish the Pacific fanfish from the other species in the genus. This fish may have not yet been recorded in the region because its presence has been overlooked in the past because of rarity and lack of commercial value.

The green marine algae, Capsosiphon fulvescens has been cultivated in south coast of southern Korea for many years on a commercial scale. This species is very popular in Korean as a food supplement because of its attractive flavor and flexcible taste. It is, therefore, necessary to isolate and utilize qualified germplasms for mass production of this economic seaweed. Several reports have been published on phycological applications of RAPDs including the characterization of interspecific genetic variation, the identification of isolates and hybrids, and the study of phylogenetic relationships. However few authors have used RAPDs to assess the genetic variability among populations of a seaweed species(van Oppen et al., 1994; Alberto et al., 1997). The present study was undertaken for characterizing the identities of Capsosiphon fulvescens populations cultivating in Korea through the analysis of PCR based random amplified polymorphic DNAs (Welsh and MacClelland, 1990; Willams et al., 1990) and chemical composition aimed to isolate the useful strains for aquaculture.

Korean folk medicine 'ORiNaMu' has been used mainly to cure toothache and alcoholism. With regard to the botanical origin of 'ORiNaMu', it has been considered to designate the branch of Alnus species (Betulaceae), but there was no pharmacognostical confirmation on it. To clarify the botanical origin of 'ORiNaMu', the anatomical characteristics of the branch of Alnus firma, A. hirsuta, A. japonica and A. maximowiczii were studied. As a result, it was found the morphological criteria for the four Alnus species that could discriminate them the number of cork cell layer, fiber, stone cell and diameter of vessel. According to there criteria, it was clarified that the commercial folk medicine 'ORiNaMu' was the branch of Alnus firma.

Semisulcospira libertina, a species of freshwater snail, is widespread in East Asia. It is important as a food source. Additionally, it is a vector of clonorchiasis, paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis, and other parasites. Although S. libertina has ecological, commercial, and clinical importance, its whole-genome has not been reported yet. Here, we revealed the genome of S. libertina through de novo assembly. We assembled the whole-genome of S. libertina and determined its transcriptome for the first time using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform. According to the k-mer analysis, the genome size of S. libertina was estimated to be 3.04 Gb. Using RepeatMasker, a total of 53.68% of repeats were identified in the genome assembly. Genome data of S. libertina reported in this study will be useful for identification and conservation of S. libertina in East Asia.

Recently completed mitochondrial genome databses from public resources provide us with a better understanding of individual mitochondrial genomes for population genomics. By determining the substitution rate of the genomic sequences, it is plausible to derive dates on the phylogenetic tree and build a chronology of events in the evolution of human species. MitGEN is specially designed as a mitochondrial genome browser for analyzing, comparing and visualizing single nucleotide polymorphism for human mitochondrial genomes between human races for comparative genomics. It is a standalone application and is available free for non-commercial work.
