Enzyme electrophoresis was used to estimate genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Pseudobagrus fulvidraco in Korea. Nine of the 14 loci (64.3%) showed detectable polymorphism. Genetic diversity at the population and species levels were 0.286 and 0.277, respectively. Analysis of fixation indices, calculated for all polymorphic loci in each population, showed a substantial deficit of hetero-zygotes relative to Hardy-Weinberg expectations. This deficit is expected that it is due to a limited effective number of individuals per population. The average $G_{ST}$ for polymorphic loci was 0.064, indicating that most (93.6%) of the genetic diversity occurred within populations. The indirect estimate of gene flow based on mean $G_{ST}$ was 3.67. Given limited gene flow is expected to diverge genetically due to drift and reduced populations. Most populations in our study experience annual, severe demo-graphic bottlenecks due to drought and floods.

Freezing resistance of apple (Malus pumila) cultivars was measured to find out the most cold hardy apple variety among the five cultivars which are promissing in Korea. The measurement of freezing resistance for two varieties of dwarf interstock, was also included to compare the cold hardiness among scions and interstocks. The freezing resistance was in order from lowest to highest; winter bud, cambium, xylem ray parenchyma and bark cortex in all cultivars except EM26. The difference in cold hardiness among cultivars and interstocks was not consistent among tissue parts of twig except in cultivar Nugget-spur of which all tissue parts showed least cold hardiness. The difference among tissue parts with in a cultivar was discussed in terms of choosing the most cold hardy, and the most resistant cultivars to late frost damage.

Genetic variation of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner), was analyzed by polymorphic allozymes. Field populations were subdivided by different hosts, geographical locations, and seasons. Estimated average heterozygosity ($0.443\pm$0.013) indicated high genetic variation in all field populations of S. exigua. There were significant inbreeding effects deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in each of subpopulations. These significant nonrandom matings were caused by within-subpopulations probably due to sampling errors, but not by mating isolation among subpopulations. Wrights ($F_{ST}$ ) and Neis (D) genetic distances indicated little genetic differentiation among subpopulations, though some southern local subpopulations (Haenam and Sachon) were relatively different of northern subpopulations (Andong and Kunwi). Estimated number of migrants per generation was 5.9 among host subpopulations, 10.6 among geographical subpopulations, and 31.8 among seasonal subpopulations. These genetic analyses suggest that Korean S. exigua subpopulations have little genetic differentiation mostly due to their significant migratory capacity.

Among the many novels penned by Thomas Hardy, the novel "Tess of the d'Urbervilles" came into print in 1891.In this novel, Hardy portrays Tess who was born and raised in a rural middle-class family but ends up working as a laborer, trapped in a society where she is subjugated by the men's wealth, leading a life marked by loneliness and isolation. The novel presents the status of women, moral struggles, and the challenging fate that they must overcome. It highlights the powerlessness of women living in a structurally unreasonable social environment, forced to depend on the ever-changing twists of destiny. This story delves into the complexities of love between the genders, moral conflicts, and the societal criticism that must be confronted. By utilizing the life of the young woman Tess, it underscores the struggle for existence and elucidates the roles, expectations, and constraints imposed on gender during the Victorian era. This research paper aims to compare the roles of women in the Victorian era in Britain and woman in contemporary Korean society. The Victorian era featured rigid gender norms, confining women to prescribed roles. In contrast, modern Korean society blends tradition and modernity, empowering women to play vital roles and reshape societal norms. Our research explores the interplay of tradition and change, providing a comprehensive understanding of women's evolving roles in both historical and contemporary contexts. We will present our discussions regarding the enduring roles that women have faced in both periods. Furthermore, we aim to highlight the distinctive roles women are called upon to play while dealing with the swift transformations in contemporary Korean society, recognizing them as essential agents in the agents in advancing Korean society.

The Center for Transportation Research at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) supports the DOE by evaluating advanced automotive technologies in a systems context. ha has developed a unique set of compatible simulation tools and test equipment to perform an integrated systems analysis project from modeling through hardware testing and validation. This project utilized these capabilities to demonstrate the trade-off in fuel economy and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) emissions in a so-called ‘pre-transmission’ parallel hybrid powertrain. The powertrain configuration (in simulation and on the dynamometer) consists of a Compression Ignition Direct Ignition (CIDI) engine, a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) and an electric drive motor coupled to the CVT input shaft. The trade-off is studied in a simulated environment using PSAT with different controllers (fuzzy logic and rule based) and engine models (neural network and steady state models developed from ANL data).

In this paper, we study in Banach spaces the existence of fixed points of asymptotically regular mapping T satisfying: for each x, y in the domain and for n=1, 2,…, $$\parallelT^nx-T^ny\parallel\leq$\leq$a_n\parallelx-y\parallel+b_n (\parallelx-T^nx\parallel+\parallely-T^ny\parallely)$$ where $a_n,\; b_n,\; C_n$ are nonnegative constants satisfying certain conditions. We also establish some fixed point theorems for these mappings in a Hibert space, in L(sup)p spaces, in Hardy space H(sup)p, and in Soboleve space $H^{k,p} for 1<\rho<\infty \; and \; k\geq0$. We extend results from papers [10], [11], and others.

In this note we give the mapping properties of the Marcinkiewicz integral !-to. at some end spaces. More precisely, we first prove that !-to. is a bounded operator from H$^{1,($\mathbb{R) to H$^{1, ($\mathbb{R). As a corollary of the results above, we obtain again the weak type (1,1) boundedness of $\mu$$_{, but the condition assumed on n is weaker than Stein's condition. Finally, we show that !-to. is bounded from BMO($\mathbb{R) to BMO($\mathbb{R). The results in this note are the extensions of the results obtained by Lee and Rim recently.

Twigs bearing floral buds of Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense(Ryp) and R. sinmsii(Rs), hardy species in Korea, were used to investigate the cold hardiness in relation to the developmental and anatomical characteristics, and the changes of water content. In floral buds of both species, the reproductive organs, pistils and stamens, matured within the bud scales in early ctober to prepare for a cold acclimation. The ray parenchymatous areas occupied in xylem were 41% in Ryp and 38% Rs. As the storage temperature is raised from 2 to 17$^{\circ}C$, water content increased more highly in Rs than in Ryp. Exotherm temperature of floral bud in Ryp was generally lower than that in Rs. The result supports that the higher cold-hardiness is achieved owing to the earlier maturation of floral buds, to the larger area of ray parenchyma in xylem, and to the lesser increase of water content as the storage temperature is raised.

The effectiveness of genetic markers on Hanwoo traceability systems was applied and evaluated from Korean 33 Hanwoo elite sire families. Five microsatellite markers were selected finally, which were located on chromosomes different chromosomes with the end sequencing of 100 HW-YUBAC that were recorded in the NCBI by Yeungnam University. Eleven major microsatellite markers were selected from allele amplified, their frequencies, H(Heterozygosity) and PIC(Polymorphism information content) with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Next, in order to evaluate the power of the markers selected on the individual animal identification with experimental condition, the match probability(MP) and the relatedness coefficient(R) were computed.
