  • This experiment was carried out in order to know the decreasing causes of plant density and its relations with pasture productivity by the times of established pasture. The results were summarized as follows, 1. The yield components of dead plant can be used to estimate the changes of pasture productivity by the times of established pasture. 2 . The number of dead plants(PD) showed a quadraticalrelation with mean dry weight of dead plant $W/pl.)$ by the times of established pasture. 3. Relationship between relative number of tillers per dead plant to mean number of tillers of adjacent plants (RNT) and relative ratio of number of tillers per dead plant to number of tillers of plants in the 1st cutting (RNDT) showed highly positive significant correlation in 1 and 3 years old pasture. 4. Less than 100 of RNT were 79.5 %, 71.4 % and 100 % of dead plants in 1, 3 and 5, and 7 years old pasture, respectively. 5. Not exceeding values of RNDT to MRRNT were 89.7 %, 71.4 % and 100 % of dead plants in 1, 3 and 5, and 7 years old pasture. 6 . The values of 79.5 %, 57.2 % and 100 % of dead plants in 1, 3 and 5, and 7 years old pasture were not exceeding to MRRNT and less than 100 of RNT. 7. From the results described above, it was discussed that the relative number of tillers per dead plant(RNT) should be described not absolute deaeasing causes of plant density in 1 and 3 yars old pasture. But, the total number of dead plants in 5 and 7 years old pasture were absolutely influenced by RNT and MRRNT.

  • In this paper, The modified dead-time compensator for plants with an integrator and long dead time is proposed. The design procedure takes account of the closed-loop performance and robustness. The tuning of the controller can be done using some information about the plant and its uncertainties. The proposed controller is compared to others recently presented in the literature. Some simulation results verify good closed-performance and robustness of the proposed DTC.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the effects of different cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging on the percentage of dead plants and bare ground, live and dead matter build-up, and botanical composition of orchardgrass dominated pasture during the mid summer season. For the test, a randomized block design with 3 replications was treated with 3 different cutting times (July 17, July 27 and Aug. 6). The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The percentage of dead plants with cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging was 26.3,41.7 and 46.7'%, respectively. 2. The percentage of bare ground with cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging was 13.3,26.7 and 3 1.7%, respectively. 3. Dead matter build-up with cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging was increased significantly with later cutting (p<0.05). The ratio of live and dead matter build-up with cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging was 90.2:9.8, 47.7:52.3 and 39.1:60.9%, respectively. 4. Regrowth yield after lodging was decreased significantly (p<0.05) with later cutting time. 5. The percentage of legumes in botanical composition was increased greatly with later cutting time. The ratio of grasses and legumes with cutting times at 0, 10 and 20 days after lodging was 77.8:21.6,45.5: 50.3 and 36.5:61.7%, respectively.

  • After topping, axillary buds of haploid plants derived from cultured anthers were treated with 0.4% aqueous solution of colchicine. Due to the high temperature and dry air at the time of treatment, most of the buds perished. A few months after the colchicine application, however, several shoots arose from the places where the dead buds were originally located. These shoots were mostly diploid. Induction of adventive shoots from the colchicine-treatedaxils was supposed to be rather effective method of obtaining diploid shoots from haploid plants. The diploid plants had larger floral organs than the haploid plants, and had good pollen fertility and seed setting. 24 bivalent chromosomes were observed at MI of the PMC's.

  • This study sought to analyze changes in the vegetation structure and species diversity indices in the Abies koreana forest in the Yeongsil area of Hallasan Mountain and establish basic data for Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER). The results show that the number of woody plants per 1ha has increased by 804 (45.1%) from 1,781 to 2,585 individual plants, whereas the number of live A. koreana did not change much with 796 individual plants. The number of dead tree plants, however, jumped by 807 (82.2%) from 982 to 1,789 plants. With other tree species, the number of live individual plants increased by 807 (82.2%) from 982 to 1,789 plants, whereas the number of dead plants increased by 31 from 10 to 41 individual plants. Results of the average importance index analysis show that the number of A. koreana decreased, while the number of Weigela subsessilis, Rhododendron yedoense for. poukhanense, and Magnolia sieboldii increased. The species diversity index increased by 6.7% as per the maximum level in the upper layer and by 7.2% in the lower layer, respectively. Results of the stem morphology analysis show that the number of AS type was highest with 700 individual plants among A. koreana, while their distribution by type shifted from AS>AL>DS>DB to AS>DS>AL>DB. As for other species, the AS type was most abundant with 1,580 individual plants, while their distribution by type shifted from AL>AS>AF>AB to AS>AL>AB>AD. The number of newly sprouted tree plants has increased from 420 in 2014 to 453 in 2016. Of the individual plants that were alive in 2014, 23 were found dead and 33 individual plants younger than 3 years old have been newly added to the group. The number of deaths after 2014 was highest among the 2 years olds, whereas the number of 2 years olds that sprouted in 2014 was highest among the newly sprouted tree plant group. In the A. koreana forest in Yeongsil, the density of other species was rising rapidly with the exception of the dead and live A. koreana. The occurrence of new tree plants is decreasing rapidly, thereby confirming the rapid change in the area's vegetation structure. Therefore, there is a need for continuous long-term ecological research to monitor vegetation change. It can also be used as a basic data for efficient restoration research.

  • Recently, for the purpose of constructing artificial ecosystem, the public aquarium and experimental mesocosm systems are receiving attention. To design and establish an aquarium and mesocosm system, there is need of several materials for simulating the environment, such as sediments, rocks, and plants. Expecially for sessile mollusks, there must be proper materials to which sessile invertebrates can adhere. Nowadays, many aquariums and mesocosm systems are using dead coral skeletons for sessile mollusks. This study was proceeded to have data on the effect of dead coral skeletons on water qualities with the experiment on the environmental factors. For this purpose, I made glass tank for experiment, chose two types of dead coral skeletons imported from the Indonesia and observed the change of water qualities and decomposition efficiency of TAN (total ammonia-nitrogen), nitrite ($NO_2{^-}$) and nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$). As a result, the lager the surface area was, the more TAN, nitrite and nitrate decomposition rate increased. In addition, coral skeletons covered with crustose algae and bacteria in the tank showed faster TAN, nitrite and nitrate removal rate and stabilization. Accordingly, this experiment suggested that dead coral skeletons could be used as a sub filter for the closed system as well as an adhering plate.

  • This paper deals with the application of a Generalized Predictive Control (CPC) to a Pressurized Water Reactor (P.W.R) Nuclear Power Plant. Generalized Predictive Control is a sort of Explicit Self-Tuning Control. Current self-tuning algorithms lack robustness to prior choices of either dead-time (input time delay of a plant) or model order. GPC is shown by simulation studies to be superior to accepted self-tuning techniques such as minimum variance and pole-placement from the viewpoint that it is robust to prior choices of dead-time or model order. In this paper a GPC controller is designed to control the P.W.R. nuclear power rlant with varying dead-time and through the designing procedure the designer is free from the constraint of knowing the exact dead-time. The controller is constructed based on the 2nd order linear model approximated in the vicinity of operating point. To ensure that this low-order model describes the complex real dynamics well enough for control purposes, model parameters are updated on-line with a Recursive Least Squares algorithm. Simulation results are successful and show the possibilities of the GPC control application to actual plants with varying or unknown dead-time.

  • A great portion of the marginal zone in Lake Gocheonam was covered with reed plants. Algae attached to the reed stems were exclusively composed of diatoms. Sixty-six species of diatoms were encountered in a floral survey. The important species were Nitzschia liebetruthii Rabh., Nitzschia acicularis (Ku¨tz.) W. Sm., Navicula gregaria Donk., Cocconeis placentula var. lineata (Ehr.) V.H. etc. Among the diatom flora, six species - Navicula nivalis Ehr., Navicula recens Lange-B., Nitzschia angustatula Lange-B., Nitzschia compressa (Bail.) Boyer, Nitzschia lanceola var. minutula Grin. and Surirella crumena Bre´b. - were recorded in Korea for the first times. Life forms of the reed-attached diatoms were simply prostrate. The biomass of epiphytic algae ranged from 0.05㎍ chl-$\alpha$ cm$^{-2}$ to 2.32$\mu$g chl-$\alpha$ cm$^{-2}$. The algal biomass of dead stems was higher than that of the living stems, and their flora were rich. The algal biomass reached a maximum in the spring after the death of the reed plants. The reed plants exhibited rich diatom flora and significantly high algal biomass on their stems to have taxonomical and ecological importance in the freshwater.

  • Energy flow through the trophic levels was studied at a salt marsh ecosystem distinguished into low and high marsh. Gross primary productions of Suaedeto-Salicornietum and Artemisieto-Limonietum at low marsh were 8, 299 and 13, 154kca/$m^2$/yr, and those of Calama-grostetum and Sonchuso-Setaetum at high marsh were 17, 899 and 15, 177kca/$m^2$/yr, respectively. Efficiencies of solar energy utilization of plants were 1.7 and 2.6% at the former, and were 3.6 and 3.2% at the latter. Of gross productions, net primary productions were 3, 977 and 5, 280kca/m2/yr at low marsh and were 6, 354 and 5, 329kca/$m^2$/yr at high marsh, and the remainder, 52~67%, was consumed by respiration of plants. A small amount (0.03~0.04%) of the net primary production was flowed through grazing food chain and most amout was transferred into dead parts. Of dead parts, 40% was accuulated as litter and the rest was decomposed into detritus. In the detritus food chain, a little energy was utilized by detritus feeder, and a major by microorganism. The amounts of energy flowed through grazing and detritus feeders at high marsh were much more than those at low marsh, but tertary production as spider was Vice versa.

  • This study carried out submerged area due to Dam construction in the near future. It includes species classification of plant, survey of community structure, examination of pollutant load and assessment of water quality impact. The vascular plants of this area are listed 224 taxa; 64 families, 168 genera, 193 species, 30 varieties and 1 form. This study area is classified into total 21 communities, most community was consist of grass vegetation. Among the communities, Erigeron annuus ($869,286m^2$, 22%) community was dominant and Erigeron annuus-Avena fatua comminity (16%) was subdominant until May, and then Erigeron canadensis community occupied most area to $1,774,985m^2$ (32%) from May to July. For the evaluation of water quality impact due to submerged macrophyte, nutrient release test was conducted both dead body macrophyte and living body macrophyte. The results of release test show that T-N is not released at dead body macrophyte, but it is released at living body macrophyte, especially living body Artemisia priceps var. orientalis shows 1.436mgN/g. At release test of dead body macrophyte, T-P release rate of Erigeron annuus shows 0.500mgP/g at the top of them and it also shows 0.436mgP/g at Erigeron annuus of living body macrophyte. T-N load of submerged macrophyte shows 0.76% by comparison of total load on watershed and T-P load of that shows 3.61%. In case of removal macrophyte for reduction of pollutant load in submerged area, T-N load of submerged macrophyte changes from 0.76% to 0.15% by comparison of total load on watershed and T-P load of that changes from 3.61% to 0.72%.
