An efficient method of shoot regeneration of peanut is described. In vitro shoot organogenesis from the callus of cotyledon explants of Arachis hypogaea L. was stimulated by addition of Adenine sulphate (Ads) along with 6 - benzylaminopurine (BAP) and - napthalene acetic acid (NAA). Ads (13 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) had a stimulatory effect on shoot bud differentiation when combined with BAP (13 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and NAA (2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Shoot organogenesis was markedly higher (92%) from callus induced on Ads, BAP and NAA combined media than from those formed by the individual supplementation of Ads or BAP with NAA. The shoots elongated on the media with GA$_3$ (1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Elongated plantlets rooted with MS media containing IBA (9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).

Global natural vegetation mapping (GNVM) system was developed for estimating potential forest area of the globe. With input of monthly mean temperature and monthly precipitation observed at weather stations, the system spherically interpolates them into 1°×1°grid points on a blobe, converts them into vegetation types, and produces a potential vegetation map and a potenital vegetation area. The spherical interpolation was based on negative exponential function fed from the constant radius stations with oval weighing method which is latitudinally elongated weighing in temperature and longitudinally elongated weighing in precipitation. The temperature values were corrected for altitude by applying a linear lapse-rate (0.65℃ / 100m) with reference to a built-in digital terrain map of the globe. The vegetation classification was based upon Koppen’s sKDICe. The potential forest area is estimated for 6.96 Gha (46.24％) of the global land area (15.05 Gha).

The purpose of this study was to analyze human upper body surface changes at the shoulder and back area. The body surface data were analyzed in terms of muscle and bone displacement in dynamic postures. Body surface data were collected with a 3D body scanner. The body surface was scanned at the static and four baseball batting postures. The body surface dimensions over the deltoids, scapulae and trapezius were measured. The results show that the vertical measurements of the deltoids increased by 20%. The horizontal measurements of the axilla of the back increased. The surface of the trapezius was elongated by over 10%, and the lower back musculature was elongated by about 50%. The results of this study showed that changes in back body surface caused by upper arm movements. It was influenced by the deltoid articulated with the humeri and the scapulae and trapezius. These body surface changes caused by muscle activities and ranges of motion can be used to design functional clothing.

Efficient plant regeneration has been achieved via organogenesis in the red pepper plant (Capsicum annum L.). Shoots were induced from seed explants of cultivar 'Friendship' on Murashige and Skoog's (MS) basal medium supplemetned with; NAA or IAA, and BAP or zeatin. Seed explants on the medium supplemented with 0.1-0.3 mg/L IAA and 2-5 mg/L zeatin for 2 weeks vigorously formed normal shoots in more than 90% of the explants. When these were transferred to MS medium containing 0.5-1.0 mg/L GA, 90-100% of the shoots have elongated within 1-2 weeks. The elongated shoots rooted in media supplemented with 0.3 mg/L NAA. It was revealed that this method is very rapid and efficient regeneration system for red pepper and regenerated plants can be obtained after only 5-6 weeks of culture.

10 patients with mitral regurgitation associated with various congenital cardiac anomalies were treated by reconstructive techniques in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Hanyang University Hospital during the period of 2 years from 1982 to 1984. There were mitral valvular cleft in one case, chordae tendineae rupture associated with congenital multiple cardiac-anomalies [VSD, PDA, prolapse of aortic non-coronary cusp through VSD] in one case, elongated chordae tendineae after removal of left atrial myxoma in one case, and mitral annular dilatation associated with VSD in 3 cases, large PDA in 2 cases, aortic regurgitation [bicuspid valve] in one case, and unknown origin in one case. Owing to the various pathology above mentioned, reconstructive surgical approach to mitral incompetence is accordingly complicated and a combination of the following different procedures were properly used case by case, that is, suture of chordae tendineae, shortening of elongated chordae tendineae, closure of VSD, ligation of PDA, aortic valvuloplasty, mitral annuloplasty with mattress suture, etc. All patients were survived and they have been excellent postoperative results.

The pattern of elongation in the developing hypocotyl of Glycine max shows that the elongation generally proceeds from base to the cotyledonary node in acropetal diredtion, although earlier elongation takes place through the entire hypocotyl. Because the differentiation of the vascular cambium in the hypocotyl advances also acropetally, it can be seen that the acropetal wave of hypocotyl elongation is associated with the acropetal differentiation of the cambium in the hypocotyl elongation is associated with the acropetal differentiation of the cambium in the hypocotyl elongation is associated with the acropetal differentiation of the cambium in the hypocotyl. The elongation of procambial cells occurs not only during active elongation but also after cessation of elongation of the hypocotyl. In tangential view, the procambium of the hypocotyl in early stage has homogeneous structure composed of short cells. Subsequently, these procambial cells elongate actively and then become elongated long cells. These long cells eventually become fusiform initials, while some of elongated long cells are transversely divided and then converted into ray initials. The characteristics of the vascular cambium are entirely acquired some time after hypocotyl elongation is completed, and the transitin from procambium to vascular cambium in the hypocotyl is a rather gradual process.

One specimen of the percophid fish, Pteropsaron evolans Jordan and Snyder and two specimens of the labrid fish, Xyrichtys verrens (Jordan and Evermann) were newly collected from Jeju Island of Korea. P. evolans is characterized by having one pair of spines at snout, cheek without scales, and elongated first dorsal fin in male. X. verrens is easily distinguished by having tip of pectoral fin black, many rows of scales on cheek, and an elongated pelvic fin. We describe as new to Korean fish fauna and propose new Korean names, "Sil-nun-tung-i" for the former and "Jang-mi-ok-du-nol-rae-gi" for the latter.

Al2O3/(5~20vol%)LaAl11O18 composites in which the second phase was dispersed with a elongated grain shape were fabricated using Al2O3 and La2O3 composition by hot-pressing. In order investigate the in-fluence of LaAl11O18 on the toughening of LaAl11O18 on the toughening of Al2O3 matrix composites AE(acoustic emission) analysis was con-ducted together with an evaluation of fracture toughness using of SEPB technique. The degree of AE events occurred in composites were more than those in monolithic alumina. The occurrences of AE event increased with increasing the amount of LaAl11O18 phase in the Al2O3/LaAl11O18 composite is two times higher compared to monolithic alu-mina. The main toughening mechanism was attributed to the bridging of LaAl11O18 grains at tip of pro-pagating crack.

In this study, ultrafine grained (UFG) oxygen free high conductivity copper (OFHC Cu) having two different grain morphologies, one the severely elongated and the other the equiaxed, was prepared by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) with routes A and $B_c$, respectively. The results of quasi-static tensile tests at $10^{-1}\;s^{-1}$ and $1\;s^{-1}$ and dynamic compression tests at $10^3\;s^{-1}$ order revealed that the equiaxed UFG Cu exhibited higher strength and less ductility compared to the elongated one. The difference of the plastic flow characteristics between the two were rationalized by considering their dislocation mean free length based on the orientation relationship between the possible slip planes and the loading direction.

The effect of dissolved Ca ion from plaster mold during slip casting on the microstructure and fracture toughness of high-purity sintered alumina were investigated. When the alumina slip containing 1000 ppm MgO was casted on a calcined alumina mold, the sintered compact had a homogeneous microstructure with equiaxed grains. However, when the same slip was casted on a plaster mold, the sintered compact consisted of the mixture of equiaxed and elongated grains. This inhomogeneous microstructure was also observed in the sintered alumina doped with 100o ppm MgO and 100 ppm CaO whose compact was prepared on the calcined alumina mold indicating that the inhomogeneity was caused by CaO. It was found that the specimen containing both MgO and CaO had higher fracture toughness than that containing MgO only. The enhanced fracture toughness by CaO is probably due to the crack deflection along the boundaries of the elongated grains.
