Life cycle stages, including daughter sporocysts, cercariae, and metacercariae, of Parvatrema duboisi (Dollfus, 1923) Bartoli, 1974 (Digenea: Gymnophallidae) have been found in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum from Aphae-do (Island), Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. The daughter sporocysts were elongated sac-like and 307-570 (av. 395) ㎛ long and 101-213 (av. 157) ㎛ wide. Most of the daughter sporocysts contained 15-20 furcocercous cercariae each. The cercariae measured 112-146 (av. 134) ㎛ in total length and 35-46 (av. 40) ㎛ in width, with 69-92 (av. 85) ㎛ long body and 39-54 (av. 49) ㎛ long tail. The metacercariae were 210-250 (av. 231) ㎛ in length and 170-195 (av. 185) ㎛ in width, and characterized by having a large oral sucker, genital pore some distance anterior to the ventral sucker, no ventral pit, and 1 compact or slightly lobed vitellarium, strongly suggesting P. duboisi. The metacercariae were experimentally infected to ICR mice, and adults were recovered at day 7 post-infection. The adult flukes were morphologically similar to the metacercariae except in the presence of up to 20 eggs in the uterus. The daughter sporocysts and metacercariae were molecularly (ITS1-5.8S rDNA-ITS2) analyzed to confirm the species, and the results showed 99.8-99.9% identity with P. duboisi reported from Kyushu, Japan and Gochang, Korea. These results confirmed the presence of various life cycle stages of P. duboisi in the Manila clam, R. philippinarum, playing the role of the first as well as the second intermediate host, on Aphae-do (Island), Shinan-gun, Korea.

Southern rough shrimp Trachysalambria curvirostris is exploited mainly by small shrimp beam trawl in coastal regions of Korea. To determine the size selectivity of a shrimp beam trawl for this species, a series of comparative fishing experiments was conducted in the sea adjacent to Geoje Island off the southern cost of Korea in June and November, 2010, using codends with four different mesh sizes(14.2, 17.8, 25.5, and 35.3 mm). The extended Share Each Length's Catch Total(SELECT) analysis method, based on a multinomial distribution, was applied to the fishing data to obtain a master selection curve. The model with the estimated split parameters fit the catch data best. The master selection curve was estimated to be: s(R)=exp(15.183R-7.872)/[1+exp(15.183R-7.872)], where the relative carapace length, R, is the ratio of carapace length to mesh size. The relative carapace length for 50% retention was 0.518, and the selection range was 0.145. The results suggest that codends with a larger mesh size allow more small-sized shrimps to escape.

Since legislation of Rural Minor Road Improvement Act 1990, a quarter of its total length had been paved now. However, over 80% of arterial road length(national+provincial roads) had been paved, so, road improvement policy should be focussed on the local road(county+rural minor roads) from now. Generally, in the greater part of coastal plain and island areas, arterial road intensity(total road length/total catchment area) is relatively low, but local road intensity is relatively high. So, in terms of balanced development, much more efforts for rural minor road improvement should be concentrated in coastal plain and islands areas. In Chonnam Province, the maximum differentials of minor rural road improvement ratio was over 20%(the lowest; 14.1% in Goheung, the highest; 35.6% in Goksung) in 1999, but the improvement budget have been allocated in proportion to unpaved road length of each county by the provincial government. However, the differentials should not be fairly narrowed in the near future if the present budget allocation policy be maintained. To solve this problem, target differentials of rural minor road improvement between regions should be set up for each planning year and road improvement budget be allocated according to this policy change.

연구는 2014년 5월부터 2016년 11월까지 제주도에 서식하는 비단털쥐의 외부형태 형질과 두개골의 크기를 비교하여 종의 특징을 규명하기 위하여 이루어졌다. 채집된 암컷 9개체, 수컷 5개체는 모두 성체였고, 암수의 체중 및 외부형태 형질 비교에서 체중, 머리와 몸통의 길이, 귀의 길이, 뒷발의 길이에 있어서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었지만 (p>0.05), 꼬리 길이에 있어서는 암컷 우성의 특징을 보이는 것으로 나타났다 (p=0.003). 채집한 비단털쥐의 2차 성적이형 (secondary sexual dimorphism) 특성을 살펴보기 위해 머리 - 몸통 길이를 기준으로 B_HR, T_HR, E_HR, H_HR을 산출하여 분석한 결과, 오직 꼬리 길이에 대한 머리 - 몸통 길이 (T_HR)에서만이 통계적으로 유의하였다 (p=0.003). 두개골 크기의 암수 평균값과 성적이형을 비교한 결과, 전체 21가지 형질 중 GLS (p=0.020)와 ONL (p=0.014)는 통계적으로 유의하였고, LIF는 유의수준 90% 기준으로 할 경우 통계적으로 유의하였다. 하지만 이 이외의 18가지 형질은 암수간의 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다 (p>0.05). 머리뼈 최대 길이 (GLS), 코 - 후두부 길이 (ONL), 눈확 사이의 폭 (IB)과 대후두공횡경 (BOF)을 제외한 나머지 17가지 부위인 뒤통수뼈관절융기 - 치조점 사이 길이 (CL), 머리뼈 바닥길이 (BL), 코뼈의 길이 (NAL), 앞머리뼈의 길이 (FL), 뒷머리뼈의 길이 (PrL), 절치공의 길이 (LIF), 고포뼈의 길이 (ABL), 협골공의 폭 (ZB), 입술의 폭 (BR), 위턱어금니열의 길이(LUM), 위턱이틀 사이 모서리길이 (LUD), 아래턱뼈의 길이(LM), 아래턱뼈의 높이 (HM), 아래턱어금니열의 길이 (LLM), 앞니 길이 (LUI), 관절 높이 (AH), 뇌함 최대 너비 (MWB)는 암컷 편향적 성적 크기 차이 (female-biased SSD)가 있었다. 이에 따라 비단털쥐의 암컷이 수컷에 비해 꼬리 길이가 길고, 두개골 또한 암컷 편향적 성적 크기 차이가 있다는 것이 확인되었다. 이 연구결과는 제주도에 서식하는 비단털쥐의 외부형태 형질과 두개골의 특징을 분석한 것으로 비단털쥐의 생물학적 특성을 이해하는 데 필요한 자료로 널리 활용될 것이다. 또한 중국과 러시아 등 국한된 지역에 서식하며, 단일 종으로 알려진 비단털쥐의 특징을 비교하는 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것이며, 향후 지리적 조건, 기후 영향, 서식환경에 따른 비단털쥐의 생물지리학 및 생태학적 연구에 크게 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Microturbellarians, small free-living Platyhelminthes are rich in freshwater environments. They are useful as indicator of water quality. There has never been a record of microturbellarians in Korea. Here I report a microturbellarian species, Catenula confusa Nuttycombe, 1956. Although specimens in this study show some differences with those of the original description of C. confusa in length and width of zooid, they conform to the specific diagnosis of this species.

Twelve cases in eleven patients with segmental bone defects were treated with contralateral fibula free flap and ipsilateral island fibula flap in an antegrade, retrograde or bidirectional flow fashion. Five cases were managed with free flaps and seven were with ipsilateral fibula island transfer. Among seven cases, antegrade fashion was three, retrograde was three, and bidirectional was one. All patients were related with open tibial fractures and its sequelae except one who had open foot bone fracture. According to Gustilo's classification, ten patients were type IIIb and one was type IIIc. Basically, antegrade-flow flaps based on the peroneal vessels as in the conventional free flap were used for the proximal or middle one-third tibial defects. On the contrary, retrograde-flow flaps based on the communicating branch between the peroneal and posterior tibial vessels were used for the middle or distal one-third of the tibia. Bidirection-flow flap based on intact peroneal vessels were used for the middle portion of the tibia. The patients who have undergone ipsilateral fibula island flap had one of the following problems: a previously failed free flap, below-knee amputation of the opposite leg because of open tibial fracture, refusal to use the contralateral sound leg, or poor general condition to stand a lengthy operation. Six of the patients who have got ipsilateral fibula island flap also had an associated fibula fracture on the same leg, which was ultimately used as one of the osteotomy sites. The follow-up period was from 1 to 10 years. Two cases of free flap were failed: one patient had below-knee amputation and the other patient had ipsilateral fibula transfer. Other cases were successful and excellent hypertophy of the transferred fibula was achieved. Time to bone union ranged from 4 to 11 months. Time to full weight bearing was from 5 to 13 months after surgery. All of the transferred fibulas showed hypertrophy after weight bearing. In one case, stress fracture was developed during ambulation, which was healed conservatively. Nonunion occurred in two cases, which were treated with a long leg cast and cancellous bone graft, respectively. Length discrepancy of the legs was noted. The limb was shorter by an average 0.5 cm in three cases, longer by 1.1 cm in one case. In the case of island fibula transfer, limited arc of rotation was not a problem. Other disabling complications were not seen. We believe that these diverse modalities using a vascularized fibula will make us more comfortable to handle major bone defects.

Oncaea prendeli Shmeleva, 1966 is redescribed here based on a specimen collected using a fine-mesh net in the epipelagic layer in the south sea of Jeju Island, Korea. The Korean specimen is generally similar to Mediterranean specimens in terms of morphological characteristics, but it shows a few minor differences in a slightly larger length-to-width ratio for the distal endopod segment of the antenna, a relatively shorter caudal seta IV, and additional ornamentation on the maxillule and maxilla. This species is distinguishable from the most similar congeneric species, O. tregoubovi Shmeleva, 1968, and three species of the genus Spinoncaea Böttger-Schnack, 2003 by the distal and lateral armature of the antenna, ornamentation on the female maxilliped, spine number on the endopod of leg 2, and proportional length of setae on the caudal ramus. Moreover, spine lengths on the exopods of legs 2-4 are proposed as new morphological characters for the identification of congeners. This is the first record of O. prendeli in Korean waters.

Two specimens of Chlorophthalmus nigromarginatus Kamohara, 1953 (51.02 mm, 66.04 mm in standard length) belonging to the family Chlorophthalmidae were collected on February 8, 2022 in the eastern Jeju-do Island, Korea using a bottom trawl. The species has the following morphological characteristics: snout length almost the same as orbit diameter, bump absent on predorsal, caudal fin with posterior black margin. C. nigromarginatus is morphologically very similar to C. acutifrons but can be distinguished by caudal fin with black margin (C. acutifrons has no black margin). Molecular analyses showed that our specimens almost matched with C. nigromarginatus according to mtDNA 16S rRNA sequences (99.8%). Therefore, we propose a new Korean name for C. nigromarginatus, "Geom-eun-kko-ri-pa-rang-nun-mae-tung-i".

Both the first author and the company of the second author were involved, directly or indirectly, in the design stage of a permanent link between the bottom of the Italian peninsula and the nearby Sicily island. This ambitious project was left in stand-by from 2013 to 2023. The current political revival originates some thoughts on the updated desired performance of suspension bridges, without any immediate reference to that specific crossing. It is simply regarded as a starting point. After an update on recent worldwide realizations, the authors focus their attention on four basic aspects: the span length, the girder scheme, the foundation technology and the bridge runability. Eventually, structural control and monitoring aspects are discussed as potentially innovative options in designing suspension bridges with railway crossing.
