The pupose of the present paper is to estimate the effects of constraint condition of pile head, ground condition(dry unit weight. $\gamma_4$) and embedded pile lengths on the behavior of single pile which is embedded in normally consolidated clay. BBperiment functions can be quantified to these effects obtained from the results of model teats. The ground of model tests is normally consolidated( NC ) clay under three kinds of effective vertical stress. The results of the model tests using the steel pile of two different embedded pile length and of free-head and fired-head show that the lateral load-deflection relationship is to be elasto plastic behavior below $\gamma_d/\gamma_{dmax}$: 0.84 and that the reduction of lateral load of beyond maximum lateral load($Q_{max}$) at each model test is significantly time-dependent. In this study, it is shown that the displacement relationship can be fitted to exponential function of time by model best results. The effect of ground conditions on the ultimate and yield lateral load is fitted to exponential function including the ratio of dry unit weight to maximum dry unit weight. When tests by results are compared with those from Broms and Budhu et at., the predicted results are over-estimated about 27-87 ayo. In effectivity of constraint condition of pile head on the lateral load-deflection response, the $Q_{fixed}/Q_{gree}-y/D$ relationship is highly non-linear and fitted to parabolic function.

The age and growth of the blackthroat seaperch Doederleinia berycoides was investigated based on samples captured in the southern seas of Korea from January to December, 2006. Age was estimated by analyzing otolith growth rings. The spawning period was extrapolated from August to November based on monthly changes in the gonad somatic index. The relationship between total length and otolith radius was analyzed separately for each sex with TL=-15.6174+10.3274R for females and TL=-4.4083+7.0749R for males. From the parameters calculated using average total length and weight when the year ring was formed, the growth of D. berycoides was expressed by von Bertalanffy growth equations as $L_t=34.71(1-e^{-0.2557(t+0.2078)})$, $W_t=713.85(1-e^{-0.2557(t+0.2078)})^{3.1972}$ for females, $L_t=27.37(1-e^{-0.3388(t+0.7362)})$, $W_t=353.91(1-e^{-0.3388(t+0.7362)})^{3.1647}$ for males, and $L_t=34.20(1-e^{-0.2530(t+0.2871)})$, $W_t=674.10(1-e^{-0.2530(t+0.2871)})^{3.1171}$ for pooled sexes, where L is total length at age t.

Determination of the precise size at sexual maturity is very important for science-based stock assessment and fisheries resource management. In this study, two different models, (1) a visual method and (2) a gonadosomatic index (GSI) method, were employed to estimate length at sexual maturity of the small yellow croaker Larimichthys polyactis in the Yellow Sea of Korea. The visual method is a common qualitative method using visual gonadal identification. Conversely, the GSI method is a quantitative method using the GSI, which can be easily and precisely collected. We compared results from these methods to determine the best approach, and to examine the practicality of the GSI method. Logistic regression of the maturity ogive was conducted using a general linear model (GLM) with the R statistics program. Also, the bootstrapped 95% confidence intervals of all estimates were calculated. The best-fit model was the visual method (R_Mc²=0.805, AUC=0.989, L₅₀=15.1). Among models using the GSI method, the model computing GSI_ref=0.94 was the best-fit model (R_Mc²=0.792, AUC=0.989, L₅₀=15.2). There was no significant difference between the two models, evidencing the effectiveness and accuracy of the GSI method.

This study was conducted to analyze the relationships between resistance of brown planthopper and traits related to the lodging in rice. For the linkage analysis of traits tested in this study, a genetic linkage map was created with 162 DNA markers spanning 12 rice chromosomes based on 120 doubled haploid (DH) lines, which were derived from a cross between Samgang', a Tongil type cultivar with BPH resistance, and ‘Nagdong’, a japonica cultivar. QTLs were identified to analyze the agronomic traits including lodging by composite interval mapping. Thirteen QTLs were detected for five traits comprised of plant length (PL), 3rd internode length (3rdIL), moments (Mo), lodging index (LI), and breaking weight (BW). The relationships between the BPH resistance and agronomic traits including lodging revealed that two QTLs (qBPR7, qBPR8) were linked to traits related to lodging. Two QTLs, qBPR7 and qBPR8 on chromosome 7 (RM531-7042) and 8 (RM1148- RM544) showed associations with moments and 3rd internode length, respectively.

To provide useful information for developing new high yielding soybean varieties and for improving cultural practices, an investigation was made on variation of dry matter production and on relationship among several agronomic characters of soybean plants grown under different planting times and densities as well as under different fertilizer levels, using Kwang-kyo, Dong puk-tae, and Suke ＃ 51 as determinate types and Shelby, SRF-300 and Harosoy as indeterminate types at the Crop Experiment Station during the period of 1972 and 1973. The results obtained were summarized as follow: 1. The dry weight, CGR and LAI at the initial flowering stage were high in the high plant population irrespective of varieties, planting times, and fertilizer levels. However, those characters of the indeterminate type were lower than those of the determinate types. The same characters of the indererminate type at the terminal leaf stage were either same or higher than those of the determinate types. 2. The dry weight of the determinate type at the initial flowering stage was similar to the indeterminate, type, when planting times were May 21 or June 15. The dry weights of both types of varieties were low when planted on July 10. When fertilizer levels were increased, the CGR, dry weight and LAI at the initial flowering stages were also increased. 3. Even though significant differences of LAI were obtained among the varieties within the same plant type, the indeterminate type was in general lower than that of the determinate type regardless of planting time and densities, or fertilizer levels, while the yield of the indeterminate type was comparable to the yield of the determinate type. 4. The high degree of leaf- and petiole-fall at the greenbean stage was highly associated with early planting and high levels of fertilizers. However, less amount of leaf- or petiole-fall was found when planted on July 10 or under low plant population. 5. The percent of stem weight was high under higher plant population, while the percent of leaf weight was high under lower plant population. When planting time was late, the percent of stem and petiole weight were reduced, while the leaf weight was increased. 6. The percent of pod weight of the determinate type at the terminal leaf stage was about 2% when planted on May 21, about 8% when planted on June 15, and about 9% when planted on July 10. The percent of pod weight of the indeterminate type at the terminal leaf stage were about 6 % when planted on May 21, 14% when planted on June 15 and 21% when planted on July 10. 7. Kwang kyo showed less degree of leaf-fall even when lodged due to high levels of fertilizer applied, while SRF-300 showed great damage due to lodging. 8. High yields were obtained when planted on May 21, but there were little yield differences between yields from May 21 and June 15 plantings. The reduction of yield due to late planting of July 10 was less apparent in the determinate type of varieties, while it was high in the indeterminate type. 9. The optimum plant population per are for high yield was 1, 250 to 2, 500 plants when planted on May 21, 2, 500 plants when planted on June 15, and 3, 333 plants when planted on July 10. 10. High correlation coefficients were obtained between dry matter weight and LAI at the terminal leaf stages, and between the dry matter weight and yield at the greenbean stages. The optimum dry weight for high yield in the determinate type was expected to be 25 kg. per are at the initial flowering stage and 50 kg. per are at the terminal leaf stage. In the indeterminate type the LAI and dry weight at the greenbean stage were 4 to 5 and 80 kg. per are, respectively. 11. Under the high plant population plant height was increased, while the stem diameter and the number of nodes and branches were reduced. Consequently, the percent of mainstem to main stem plus branches were increased, and the length of internode was also elongated. The ratios of stem weight, number of nodes and pods, and yield of main stem were increased when high plant population was associated with the early planting. The percent of main stem to branches for the indeterminate type was higher than that of the determinate type. 12. Under the high plant densities and late planting, the percent of the pod number and yields of main stem were increased, indicating that varieties with no or less branches were better adaptable under such conditions. 13. High degree of simple correlation coefficients was obtained between the LAI at the initial flowering stage and terminal leaf stage, and the total node number, dry matter and dry stem weight of both determinate and indeterminate types. Even though no significant correlation was found between the LAI at the initial flowering stage of the determinate type and the stem length and pod number per are, highly significant correlation coefficients were obtained between such characters in the indeterminate type of varieties. 14. The dry matter was positively correlated with the LAI, CGR, stem length, and pod number, node number and dry stem weight per are, while no significant correlation was found between the dry matter and stem diameter. 15. The correlation coefficients between lodging index and the LAI, dry weight, stem length and dry stem weight were highly significant. Negative correlation was obtained for the indeterminate type between the stem diameter and lodging index. The correlation coefficient between the stem diameter and lodging index was non-significant for the determinate type, while positive correlation was obtained between the yield and lodging index in the determinate type. The lodging index was also positively correlated with average length of internode of main stem. 16. The 100 seed weight appeared to be lowered under the high plant population and no fertilizer condition, and when planted late. Apparent differences of 100 seed weight were found between main stem and branches, being higher for the main stem than for the branches. 17. No variation of protein content was found due to different cultural practices. However, the oil content was apparently reduced when planted late.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the young children's 'more means more' bias and knowledge change process regarding a lever phenomenon, especially the relationship between the weight of an object and the strength of force and between the length of a lever and the strength of force. Subjects, who were presented with the tasks, were eight young children 5 years of age. Major findings were as followings. First, most of the subjects have a 'more means more' bias about the relationship between the weight of an object and the strength of force and between the length of a lever and the strength of force regarding a lever phenomenon. This meant that young children have similar concepts about a lever phenomenon regardless of whether it is right or wrong physically. Second, young children tried to make sure of their knowledge during experiments. They chose the evidence which confirmed their knowledge. But they tried to change their knowledge, when the evidence presented did not correspond to their knowledge. These findings contribute to understanding young children's 'more means more' bias and knowledge change process about a lever phenomenon and can be used in preschool science education programs and curriculums.

The difference in growth rate of p. orientalis cultured on muddy bottom region and sandy bottom region in a pond filled with sea water were studied. For the investigation of the growth rate, the body length and the body weight were determined. Five individuals from each experimental region were sampled in random. The samples were collected at ten-day intervals. The survival rate, the qredator of p. orientalis, and the water conditions during the experimental period were also determined. The results in this study are summerized as follows: 1. The growth rate of p. orientalis which was cultured in the muddy bottom region was greater than that in the sandy bottom region. This is attributable in either case regardless of whether they were cultured with or without food, 2. The relationship between the culturing period (X) and the body length (Y) is : Muddy bottom, Food Y=0.58497X+25.05210 Sandy bottom, Food Y=0.51030X+26.57900 Muddy bottom, No food Y=0.22352X+32.79360 Sandy bottom, No food Y=0.l1418X+31.20740 3. The relationship between the culturing period (X) and the body weight (Y) is : Muddy bottom, Food Y=0.09062X-2.11140 Sandy bottom, Food Y=0.06992X-1.19640 Muddy bottom, No food Y=0.01615X+0.51150 Sandy bottom, No food Y=0.00495X+0.56150 4. When the predator is not present, $84\%$ of P. orientalis may survive. 5. Acanthogobius flavimanus is one of the predator of P. orientalis. 6. It is considered that the variation of water conditions of the pond, in which water had been exchanged 12 times per month, did not affect to the survival rate of P. orientalis.

Age and growth of Epinephelus akaara were determined using samples collected from the south western sea of Korea. Thin - sectioned otoliths showed relatively well defined annuli when examined under dark - field microscope. Because the fish do not feed at the temperature under $10^{\circ}C$, the annuli in otoliths are considered to be formed during the period between December and April. Considering that the peak spawning season is July, the first annulus must have been formed in 0.5 year after birth. The oldest fish examined was 9 years old, and the largest one was 47cm. The body length(L, cm) was linearly related to the otolith radius (R, ${\mu}m$) : L= - 2.84+7.01 R. Back-calculated lengths for each age using the relationship between body and otolith size were well adjusted to the Von Bertalanffy growth curve : $L_t$=55.5[1-exp{-0.162(t+0.128)}]. Using relationship between length and weight ($W_t$=0.00608$L^{3.21}$), growth in weight was expressed by Wt=2409(1-exp{-0.162(t+0.128)}]$^{3.21}$.
