Purpose - The production efficiency of agricultural crops has been the subject of numerous studies in the field of agricultural economics. This study examines the production efficiency of emerging vineyards in the 14 northern U.S. states and aims to understand raw input and managerial factors affecting the grape production with focusing on the effect of farm size. Research design, data, and methodology - Using a unique survey dataset that was collected from 176 vineyards in 2012, we employed data envelopment analysis (DEA) for estimation of production efficiency in individual vineyards. Production efficiency is regressed on various input and managerial covariates to understand factors influencing the productivity. Results - Although there exists positive correlation between the farm size and productivity of vineyards in Northern U.S. states, we find negative relationship when the farm size is instrumented by the additional farm size expansion indicator. The negative effect is more pronounced for the recently established vineyards. Conclusions - This study suggests that there needs to be adequate managerial improvements for emerging vineyards in northern states for the achievement of increased productivity.

Microsatellite markers are important for gene mapping and for marker-assisted selection. Sixty-five polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed with an enriched partial genomic library from olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus an important commercial fish species in Korea. The variability of these markers was tested in 30 individuals collected from the East Sea (Korea). The number of alleles for each locus ranged from 2 to 33 (mean, 17.1). Observed and expected heterozygosity as well as polymorphism information content varied from 0.313 to 1.000 (mean, 0.788), from 0.323 to 0.977 (mean, 0.820), and from 0.277 to 0.960 (mean, 0.787), respectively. Nine loci showed significant deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium after sequential Bonferroni correction. Analysis with MICROCHECKER suggested the presence of null alleles at five of these loci with estimated null allele frequencies of 0.126-0.285. These new microsatellite markers from genomic libraries will be useful for constructing a P. olivaceus linkage map.

Raphanus sativus L. var. hortensis f. raphanistroides (wild radish: Brassicaceae), a herbaceous perennial, occurs only on beaches in East Asia. Genetic diversity and population structure of seven Korean populations were investigated using starch gel electrophoresis. Although the Korean populatins are small, isolated with patchy distribution, the population maintain a moderate level of genetic diversity; the mean percentage fo polymorphic loci was 51.4%, mean number of alleles per locus was 1.84, and mean expected heterozygosity was 0.116. A combination of animal-outcrossing breeding system, wide geographical distribution, restricted ecological distribution, and a propensity for high fecundity may in part be explanatory factors contributing the moderate level of genetic diversity within populations. An overall excess of homozygotes relative to Hardy-Weinberg expetations (mean FISa=0.116) indicates that consanguineous mating occur within wild radish populations, leading to a family structure within a circumscribed area. Although population of wild radish experience a limited gene flow, only 5% of the total genetic variation found in Korean wild radish populations examined is due to differences among populations (mean GST=0.052). This value is considerably lower than the mean values of species with similar life history and ecological characteristics. However, significant differences were found in allele frequencies between populations for all polymorphic loci (P<0.01). It is supposed that directional selection toward genetic uniformity (similar gene frequencies) in a relatively homogenous habitat is thought to be operated among Korean wild radish populations.

Four polymorphic allozymes were used for genetic analysis of overwintering populations of field diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linne). Different allele frequencies were found among three local populations of Andong, Youngchon, and Yangsan in all loci. Two allozyme loci (acid phosphatase and phosphoglucomutase) showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in allele frequencies among these populations. Estimated Nei's genetic distance varied from 0.0151 between Yangsan and Youngchon to 0.0877 between Andong and Youngchon. Compared with the previous genetic distances in this moth, a little higher genetic differentiation among these overwintering populations suggests that there would be a specific genetic bottleneck in each local population during overwintering period.

Essential hypertension is a multifactorial disease, and has been shown to be associated with insulin resistance. The relationship between the genetic variation of the insulin receptor (INSR) gene and essential hypertension In Korean population was investigated by the Nsi 1 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) pattern of this gene. The observed genotype frequencies of INSR gene were not deviated from those expected for the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE), but a significant association was observed between essential hypertension and N1 allele of Nsi 1 RFLP at the INSR gene ($X^2$-test; P<0.05). Moreover, the frequency of N1 allele was significantly different between normotensives and essential hypertensives in subgroups that were not obese ($X^2$-test; P<0.05). These data suggest that the Nsil RFLP of INSR gene may be a useful genetic marker for essential hypertension in Korean population.

Genetic variation and structure of 9 subpopulations of Symplocarpus renifolius Schott ex Tzvelev on Mt. Cheonma, in Korea, were determined via starch-gel electrophoresis. The genetic diversity at 10 loci for 8 isozymes ($P_{99}=66%,\;A=2.26,\;H_o=0.212,\;H_e=0.230$) was found to be considerably higher than that seen in other long-lived perennial plants. On the whole, the genotype frequencies were in accordance with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. Approximately 5%($\theta=0.049$) of the total variability was among subpopulations. The high levels of observed genetic diversity in S. renifolius were attributed to a universal outcrossing system and other specific factors like differences in age classes and widely scattered individuals around the main distribution. Heterozygosity was highest at a mid-range of elevation($450m{\sim}600m$). The lowest heterozygosity at lower elevation was attributed to the possible origin of seeds transported by water from upstream regions during the monsoon season. Spatial structure in a subpopulation evidenced a strong autocorrelation between closer individuals within $3{\sim}4m$ of distance. This was assumed to be attributable to the restricted seed dispersal characteristics of S. renifolius. In accordance with the findings generated in this study, some implications regarding the conservation of S. renifolius at the Mt. Cheonma were also presented.

This study was carried out to investigate the association of POU1F1 (POU domain, class 1, transcription factor 1, Pit1, renamed as POU1F1) gene with backfat thickness (mm), carcass weight (kg), pH, and color values ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) in crossbred pigs (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc). Frequency of the AA genotype indel was at the highest level (66.67%). Frequency of A allele (0.81) was higher than that of b allele (0.19). This population followed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Carcass weights and $a^*$ values of the three genotypes were all significantly different (p < 0.05), respectively. However, backfat thickness, $L^*$, $b^*$, visual color, and pH of the three genotypes were not significantly different (p > 0.05). Visual color was negatively correlated with $L^*$ (r = -0.521) and $b^*$ (r = -0.390) values, $L^*$ value was correlated with $b^*$ (r = 0.419) value, and $a^*$ value was positively correlated with $b^*$ (r = 0.612) value. These results indicate that the POU1F1 gene affected carcass weight and meat redness.

This paper is concerned with the $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ summability of Fourier series. Many authors have studied on the summability of Fourier series up to now. Also, G. H. Hardy and J. E. Littlewood [5], Gaylord M. Merriman [18], L. S. Bosanquet [1], Fu Traing Wang [24] and others had studied the $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ summability of Fourier series until the first half of the 20th century. In the section 2, we reintroduce Ernesto $Ces{\grave{a}}ro^{\prime}s$ life and the meaning of mathematical history for $Ces{\grave{a}}ro^{\prime}s$ work. In the section 3, we investigate the classical results of summability for Fourier series from 1897 to the mid-twentieth century. In conclusion, we restate the important classical results of several theorems of $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ summability for Fourier series. Also, we present the research minor lineage of $Ces{\grave{a}}ro$ summability for Fourier series.

A new spray chrysanthemum cultivar, 'Moon Festival' was released by National Horticultural Research Institute (NHRI), Rural Development Administration (RDA), Korea in 2007. A cross was made in 2002 between '01B1-559', a breeding line of NHRI and 'Baeksokuk', a spray cultivar with white petals. Trials were conducted from 2005 to 2007 for evaluation and selection of this cultivar, including shading culture in summer and retarding culture in autumn. The natural flowering time of "Moon Festival" is late October, but year-round flowering is possible by shading and lighting treatment. The cultivar is semi- double type flowers with light-ivory white petals and green flower center. Flower neck and stem are very hardy. The diameter of flower is 67.5 mm. The number of flowers per stem and petals per flower is 11.5 and 100.5, respectively. The days to flowering under the short day is about 54 in autumn season.

공학이나 과학에서 다루는 거의 모든 현상이나 물체는 시공간적으로 연속성을 지니고 있으며, 지형이나 지하수위분포가 대표적인 사례에 해당한다. 강수량 분포 또한 지역적인 스케일을 고려할 때 연속성을 지니고 있다고 가정될 수 있다. 이러한 연속성을 지닌 현상이나 물체를 연구 대상으로 취할 경우, 모든 위치에서의 관찰 값이나 계산 값을 얻기란 불가능하므로, 불연속적이거나 이산적인 위치에서 불연속적인 값을 얻게 된다. 이러한 시공간적으로 이산적이고 불연속적인 자료를 바탕으로 어떠한 작업을 수행하고자 할 때 자료의 연속성을 가정하게 되며, 따라서 연속성을 가정하고 내삽 처리된 근사값을 이용하게 된다. 따라서 불연속적인 자료의 내삽 처리 과정이 연구 결과의 성패를 좌우할 만큼 매우 중요할 수 있다. 하지만 대다수의 연구자나 실무자들은 내삽 처리의 중요성을 간과하고 있으며, 자료처리나 준비 과정에서 거쳐야하는 하나의 단순한 단계로만 여길 뿐이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 역거리 가중치법(Reciplocal Inverse Distance method), 역거리 제곱 가중치법(Inverse Square Distance method), Dual Kriging법, Hardy의 Multiquadric법, Completely Regularized spline법, 삼각망법(TIN) 등 기존에 알려진 공간자료 보간법에 대해서 소개하며, 알려져 있는 공간함수를 이용하여 다양한 경우에 대한 비교, 분석을 수행한다. 보간법의 종류에 따라 내삽 결과는 매개변수 값에 지대한 영향을 받을 수 있기 때문에, 매개변수에 따른 내삽 결과를 분석하고, 정확성과 적용성 등 다양한 내삽기법들에 대해서 평가한다.
