The effect of characteristic of mixture sowing combination on the development of botanical composition was conducted for 12 years on the meadow experiment. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. Festuca pratensis lost the expected position of a dominant species. Its vegetation ratio decreased gradually until the last survey year. 2. Arrhenatherum elatius, known as a typical 2-cutting grasss, developed to a dominant species only in the 3- cutting plot without limitation. 3. Alopecurus pratensis, whose feeding value diminishes rapidly, developed to a dominant species regardless of N-fertilization under the condition of 3-cutting, even though the same small amount of seeding was introduced as usual. 4. Trisetum flavescens which causes calcinose exceeded the 40% of vegetation ratio which was the approved rate for feeding at the high N-level (2OOKgIha). 5. Among the introduced, the species showed the significance in quantity were Lotus corniculafus solely in the 2-cutting plot, and Trifolium repens solely in the 3-cutting plot. In the 3-cutting plot legume yet remained under N-fertilization. 6. The appropriate ratio of vegetation for the subordinate species in the mixture sowing combination was easily attained from the least amount of seeding (Gramineae with max. 3Kg/ha, Leguminosae with max. 2kgIha). 7. Into the mixture sowing combination, infiltrated unintroduced species marked more noticeably in the 2- cutting plot than in the 3-cutting plot.

In order to satisfy with the clear visibility without any difficulties such as blurring and tailing, the high refreshing rate technology and fast response time of LC itself were applied to TFT-LCDs. In proportion to the decrease of holding time of 1 frame, the fast transition of LC behavior was necessary to both maintain the luminance and minimize the tailing appearance. The introduction of a new LC mixture for faster response times was realized by the good combination of newly introduced dielectrically neutral LC material so called 'Super Low Viscosity' (SLV) and highly polar $CF_2O-linkage$ LC material. This resulted in about a 20% reduction in the ${\gamma}_1$ of the new LC mixture compared to the references. In accordance with a new LC mixture with low ${\gamma}_1$, fast response time of 5ms has been made for S-IPS LCD TV application. Consequently, by applying the high frame frequency of 120Hz driving alongside the 5ms response time characteristics, the MPRT value was reduced by half.

In September 2007, reports of respiratory irritation and fish kills were received by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) from the Jacksonville, Florida area. Water samples collected in this area indicated a bloom of Karenia brevis, the dinoflagellate that produces brevetoxin, which can cause neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. For the next four months, K. brevis was found along approximately 400 km of coastal and Intracoastal waterways from Jacksonville to Jupiter Inlet. This event represents the longest and most extensive red tide the east coast of Florida has experienced and the first time Karenia species other than K. brevis have been reported in this area. This extensive red tide influenced commercial and recreational shellfish harvesting activities along Florida's east coast. Fourteen shellfish harvesting areas (SHAs) were monitored weekly during this event and 10 SHAs were closed for an average of 53 days due to this red tide. The length of SHA closure was dependent on the shellfish species present. Interagency cooperation in monitoring this K. brevis bloom was successful in mitigating any human health impacts. Kernel density estimation was used to create geographic extent maps to help extrapolate discreet sample data points into $5km^2$ radius values for better visualization of the bloom.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of supplementation of commercial phytase and ${\beta}-glucanase$ to wheat-soybean meal based layer diets. Control (17% CP) and reduced protein (13.5% CP) diets were compared with and without phytase and/or ${\beta}-glucanase$. Reducing dietary crude protein levels reduced the amount of N excreted by laying hens with no adverse affect on egg production or overall feed conversion ratio. There was, however, a slight reduction in average egg weight. When phytase was added to the control protein diets it was possible to reduce the level of dicalcium phosphate in the diet without a loss in performance and daily P output was reduced significantly. When phytase was added to the reduced protein diets, however, there was a dramatic loss in performance in the last four weeks of the study. Supplementation of ${\beta}-glucanase$ to wheat based layer diet did not appear to have beneficial affects in terms of laying performance and reducing nitrogen or phosphorus excretion. Combination of phytase and ${\beta}-glucanase$ had no positive effects on laying performance or reduction of DM, N and P.

We proposed an auto-tuning method of learning rate for performance improvement of backpropagation algorithm. Proposed method is used a fuzzy logic system for automatic tuning of learning rate. Instead of choosing a fixed learning rate, the fuzzy logic system is used to dynamically adjust learning rate. The inputs of fuzzy logic system are ${\Delta}$ and $\bar{{\Delta}}$, and the output is the learning rate. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we performed simulations on a N-parity problem, function approximation, and Arabic numerals classification. The results show that the proposed method has considerably improved the performance compared to the backpropagation, the backpropagation with momentum, and the Jacobs' delta-bar-delta.

Oriented Strand Board (OSB) is an important engineered wood product used in housing construction which has a lower environmental impact or "carbon footprint." In this paper, reliability and statistical tools are applied to gain insights on the strand thickness of OSB panels. An OSB panel consists of several hundred wood strands that are resinated and pressed. The variability of OSB strand thickness for six manufacturers in the Eastern United States is examined as a whole, as well as individually. Little research exists on OSB strand thickness across mills even though strand thickness variability has been documented in laboratory experiments to greatly influence the dimensional stability of OSB panels. Our aims are to quantify and characterize strand thickness, plus apply reliability techniques, such as Kaplan-Meier curves, to characterize the probability of strand thickness. We further explore graphically and statistically the thickness of the strands.

The role of jurisprudence is examined in the early history of probability and statistics. From the mid-17th to the early 18th century, Christiaan Huygens and Jacob Bernoulli used mathematical expectation to solve the problems that originated from games of chance. We demonstrate that their concept of expectation as a fair price for participating in a game came from the legal concept of 'fair trade'. In addition, we consider that the probability that Bernoulli defined in his Ars Conjectandi originated from the legal concept of 'degree of certainty'. After considering some contributions of Laplace and Poisson, we examined the history of census and statistical survey in the early 19th century. Contrary to the history of the 17th and 18th century, statistics influenced society and law in the 19th century.

Recent social interests on mad cow disease and Creutzfelt-Jacob disease lead researcher' focus onto pathogenic prion proteins causing those diseases. The purpose of this study is to introduce a novel method for micromolecular level quantification of PrP 106-126 peptide, which is a part of prion protein. Fluorescamine has been chosen due to its fluorescence emission characteristics upon reaction with primary amines and Alpha-imager is used to detect the intensity of fluorescence. We succeeded in setting optimal conditions for quantification of PrP 106-206, amyloidogenic prion peptide, at micromolecular level. This study will contribute to identify prion protein aggregation inhibitor and develop new prion protein drug.

이 연구는 국내의 균열암반에 대한 지하수 유동 연구가 대수층이 등방이라는 가정하에 진행피고 있는 방법에서 벗어나 대수층이 이방성을 띤다는 가정하에 대수층의 수리적 이방성을 해석하는데 중점을 두었다. 수리시험은 30.91 $m^3$/day로 BH-1공에서 300분간 양수였으며, 각각의 관측공 BH-2, BH-3, BH-4, 및 BH-5공에서 시간에 따른 수위강하를 관측하였다. 수리시험에 의해 얻어진 시간별 수위강하 자료를 이용하여 Jacob(1950)의 직선법에 의해서 직선의 기울기(m)와 수위강하가 영이 되는 지점에서의 시간( $t_{0}$)을 계산하였다. 대수층의 수리학적 이방성 텐서 (tensor) 즉, 최대투수량계수텐서 ( $T_{ξξ}$)와 최소투수량계수텐서 ( $T_{ηη}$)를 산출하기 위해서 Stewart(1973)에 의해서 정립된 정규최소제곱(Ordinary least-square)방법을 적용하였으며, 이 방법은 관측공이 최소한 4개를 필요로 한다. 그 결과로, $T_{ξξ}$는 12.21 $m^2$/day이고 $T_{ηη}$는 10.47 $m^2$/day로 산출되었다. 최대투수량계수텐서의 방향은 Nl9.13$^{\circ}$E 이고 이방성율은 1.17로 산출되었다. BH-1공에서 수리시험시 대수층의 이방성은 등방성에 가깝게 표현되었다. 이는 연구지역 대수층이 다수의 균열에 의해서 수리적 상호연결성이 고루 분포된 것으로 판단된다.
