  • Inter- and intraspecific genetic relationships between Rana amurensis from Korea and Russia and other brown frogs were investigated by nucleotide sequence of a 504 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Nucleotide sequence similarities among Korean populations of R. amurensis ranged from 99.6% to 97.6% and 98.8% within Russian populations. The nucleotide sequence similarity between Korean and Russian R. amurensis ranged from 86.9% to 85.5%. Based on Kimura-2-parameter distance, the sequence divergence between R. amurensis from Korea and Russia was 16.18% and 18.04% among other related brown frogs. interspecific sequence divergences among R. amurensis and other related brown frogs diverged by 20.3%. Using an estimate of 2-4% mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence per million years, Korean and Russian R. amurensis diverged about 8 to 4 million years ago (Mya) and other brown frogs diverged about 9 to 5 Mya from ancestral frogs and distributed from North Asia to Sakhalin in a short time. In the neighbor-joining and UPGMA tree R. amurensis was clustered into two groups with Korean and Russian populations and the other brown frogs were grouped separately with diverged trichotomous clusters (R. dybowskii and R. pirica, R. okinavana and R. tsushimensis, and R. japonica and R. longicrus).

  • The heavy snowfall event over the eastern part of Seoul, Korea on Mar. 04, 2008 has been abruptly occurred after the frontal system with the heavy snowfall event had been past over the Korean peninsula on Mar. 03, 2008. Therefore, this heavy snowfall event couldn't be predicted well by any means of theoretical knowledges and models. After the cold front passed by, the cold air mass was flown over the peninsula immediately and became clear expectedly except the eastern part and southwestern part of peninsula with some large amount of snowfall. Even though the wide and intense massive cold anticyclone was expanded and enhanced by the lowest tropospheric baroclinicity over the Yellow Sea, but the intrusion and eastward movement of cold air to Seoul was too slow than normally predicted. Using the data of numerical model, satellite and radar images, three dimensional analysis Products(KLAPS : Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System) of the environmental conditions of this event such as temperature, equivalent potential temperature, wind, vertical circulation, divergence, moisture flux divergence and relative vorticity could be analyzed precisely. Through the analysis of this event, the formation and westward advection of lower cyclonic circulation with continuously horizontal movement of air into the eastern part of Seoul by the analyses of KLAPS fields have been affected by occurring the heavy snowfall event. As the predictability of abrupt snowfall event was very hard and dependent on not only the synoptic atmospheric circulation but also for mesoscale atmospheric circulation, the forecaster can be predicted well this event which may be occurred and developed within the very short time period using sequential satellite images and KLAPS products.

  • Bryopsis africana and Pyropia kinositae are reported for the first time on the list of Korean marine algal flora based on integrated morphological-molecular study. Bryopsis africana from Korea is recognized with distinct main axes, robust thalli, pinnately and radially branched above, and basally denuded. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that B. africana was placed within a clade of Bryopsis. Bryopsis africana differs from B. corymbosa by 2.7% gene sequence divergence. Pyropia kinositae is characterized by oblong to lanceolate thalli, entire margin, purplish red in color, twice as long as broad cells in transversal section view. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that P. kinositae was placed within a clade of Pyropia. Pyropia kinositae differs from P. tenera by 1.5-1.8%, P. ishigecola by 1.2-1.3%, and P. yezoensis by 1.5-1.8% gene sequence divergence respectively.

  • We present a new maximum likelihood approach to estimate demographic history using genomic data sampled from two populations. A demographic model such as an isolation-with-migration (IM) model explains the genetic divergence of two populations split away from their common ancestral population. The standard probability model for an IM model contains a latent variable called genealogy that represents gene-specific evolutionary paths and links the genetic data to the IM model. Under an IM model, a genealogy consists of two kinds of evolutionary paths of genetic data: vertical inheritance paths (coalescent events) through generations and horizontal paths (migration events) between populations. The computational complexity of the IM model inference is one of the major limitations to analyze genomic data. We propose a fast maximum likelihood approach to estimate IM models from genomic data. The first step analyzes genomic data and maximizes the likelihood of a coalescent tree that contains vertical paths of genealogy. The second step analyzes the estimated coalescent trees and finds the parameter values of an IM model, which maximizes the distribution of the coalescent trees after taking account of possible migration events. We evaluate the performance of the new method by analyses of simulated data and genomic data from two subspecies of common chimpanzees in Africa.

  • Based on the theory of local-world network, the composition self-similarity (CSS) of network traffic is presented for the first time in this paper for the study of DoS detection. We propose the concept of composition distribution graph and design the relative operations. The $(R/S)^d$ algorithm is designed for calculating the Hurst parameter. Based on composition distribution graph and Kullback Leibler (KL) divergence, we propose the composition self-similarity anomaly detection (CSSD) method for the detection of DoS attacks. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared to other entropy based anomaly detection methods, our method is more accurate and with higher sensitivity in the detection of DoS attacks.

  • Population structure was investigated in Reticulitermes speratus populations in the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese Archipelago. All trees derived from analyses of the combined sequence dataset of two mitochondrial genes, COII and COIII, showed that R. speratus populations cluster into two major clades comprising the Korean/southern Japanese populations and the northern Japanese populations. Analysis of population genetic structure showed strong genetic partitioning between populations of the two clades. To understand historical migration routes and current distributions, the phylogeographic history of R. speratus was inferred from intra-/interspecific phylogeny and divergence times estimated between the clades of the phylogenetic tree. The estimated migration route and divergence time of ancestral R. speratus are congruent with recent paleogeographic hypotheses involving land-bridge connections between the Asian continent and the Japanese Archipelago. We suggest that ancestral R. speratus separated into northern and southern Japanese populations after its migration into the Japanese main islands from East China during the early Pleistocene via the East China Sea basin, which may have been exposed during that period. The Korean populations seem to have diverged recently from southern Japanese populations; this may explain the current distribution of R. speratus in the Japanese Arachipelago, and account for why it is restricted to northern areas of the Tokara Strait.

  • The P-curvature tensor has been studied in the space-time of general relativity and it is found that the contracted part of this tensor vanishes in the Einstein space. It is shown that Rainich conditions for the existence of non-null electro variance can be obtained by P𝛼𝛽. It is established that the divergence of tensor G𝛼𝛽 defined with the help of P𝛼𝛽 and scalar P is zero, so that it can be used to represent Einstein field equations. It is shown that for V4 satisfying Einstein like field equations, the tensor P𝛼𝛽 is conserved, if the energy momentum tensor is Codazzi type. The space-time satisfying Einstein's field equations with vanishing of P-curvature tensor have been considered and existence of Killing, conformal Killing vector fields and perfect fluid space-time has been established.

  • Mixed finite element method is developed to approxi-mate the solution of the initial-boundary value problem for a strongly nonlinear second-order hyperbolic equation in divergence form. Exis-tence and uniqueness of the approximation are proved and optimal-order $L\infty$-in-time $L^2$-in-space a priori error estimates are derived for both the scalar and vector functions approximated by the method.

  • A short chemical mechanism was developed with the chemical model reduction strategy based on the use of Simulation Error Minimization Connectivity Method(SEM-CM). We examined the accuracy resulting from using this mechanism, as compared with the full mechanism, for premixed flames and auto-ignition of methane-air mixture under high pressures. These comparisons are in good agreement, but it has a little divergence to predict the ignition delay time at high pressure conditions as compared with experiment results.
