Quaternary fault movement of the Ulsan fault system was interpreted by aenal photograph, field survey and trench excavation. The geomorphological evidences associated with active fault are clearly shown at Cheonbuk-myeon area, northern part of Ulsan fault system. In the trench wall one reverse fault(N 50$^{\circ}$E, 70$^{\circ}$E) is identified between basement rock (Miocene mudstone) and gravel deposits Another thrust fault (NS) extends up to the red and light brown soil layers. Middle terrace surface shows cumulative vertical displacements of about 3 to 7 m. The horizontai displacement of the red soil by faulting event is about 1.8 to 2.4m. The age of the fault activity is younger than that of the soil layer, which is roughly estimated to be late Quaternary (about 100Ka)

The investigation has been made on the rocks consisting the pagoda(12), Buddhist Statues(9) Buldaejwa and cakra(2, rewpectively), stele(5), and Flagpole wupport and stupa(6) which are stood in Weonju city, Weonju-gun, Hwoengseong-gun and Hongcheon-gun, Kangweondo. These rock-monuments range mostly in age from late Shilla Kingdom to middle Korye Kingdom. The geology around this region is mainly composed of Precambrian metamorphic rocks and mesozoic granitic rocks. The granitic rocks are largely divided into Jurassic and cretaceous ones which are slightly different in rock phase. The main rock phase consisting the monumentsare are coarse biotite granite with minor amount of hornblende in Jurassic age. Variation in rock phase is abserved even in part of the stone used in the monuments. Inclusions composed of biotite and hornblende, porphyritic texture with microcline phenocryst, igneous lineation and exfoliation according to weathering are observable in all rocks in these monuments. In the case of stele whose a body and a capstone is remained, one is composed of black slate and the other white limestone. But the turtle shaped pedestal is constituted of coarse biotite granite. These stone-monuments are strongly weathered and exfoliated out about 1∼2mm.In case of exfoliated weathering along igneous lineation, some are taken off about 3∼5mm thick. In some monuments, the degree of weathering is somewhat different according to position, grade of sculpture, and biological activity.

Radiolarian assemblages from KODOS area were analyzed in order to understand the biostratigraphy and paleoceanography of deep-sea sediment from the Northeast Equatorial Pacific. The sediment core was divided into two or three units on the basis of the chemical and physical properties. In the upper sediment, mixtures of Quaternary and Tertiary radiolarians are found indicating active reworking processes. Dissolution of radiolarians seem to increase with depth. Radiolarians are seldom in Unit III presumably due to dissolution and corrosion. The middle part of unit I appears to correspond to Collosphaera invaginata Zone (0.21 Ma). Unit II belongs to Collosphaera tuberosa Zone. Based on the absence of Stylatractus universus, we estimate its age to be younger than 0.42 Ma. Based on our analyses of radiolarians in Unit I and II, we estimated the age of unit III as Tertiary, particularly from Oligocene to Miocene. There may to be hiatuses of more than 3 My from late Miocene to Pliocene, which probably resulted from erosion and dissolution by the Antarctic Bottom Water Sedimentation rates during Quaternary range from 0.15 to 0.50 mm/ky with significant variabilities among stations. Radiolarians in the study area were mostly warm-water species.

Objective: The main goal of our current study was to improve the growth curve of meat animals by decreasing the birth weight while achieving a finishing weight that is the same as that before selection but at younger age. Methods: Random regression model was developed to derive various selection indices to achieve desired gains in body weight at target time points throughout the fattening process. We considered absolute and proportional gains at specific ages (in weeks) and for various stages (i.e., early, middle, late) during the fattening process. Results: The point gain index was particularly easy to use because breeders can assign a specific age (in weeks) as a time point and model either the actual weight gain desired or a scaled percentage gain in body weight. Conclusion: The point gain index we developed can achieve the desired weight gain at any given postnatal week of the growing process and is an easy-to-use and practical option for improving the growth curve.

Background: There is strong evidence that delayed diagnosis of breast cancer is associated with poor survival. Our objectives were to determine the frequency of breast cancer patients with delayed presentation, the reasons of delay and its association with different socio-demographic variables in our North Pakistan setting. Materials and Methods: We interviewed 315 histologically confirmed breast cancer patients. Delay was defined as more than 3 months from appearance of symptoms to consultation with a doctor. Questions were asked from each patient which could reflect their understanding about the disease and which could be the likely reasons for their delayed presentation. Results: 39.0 % (n=123) of patients presented late and out of those, 40.7% wasted time using alternative medicines; 25.2 % did not having enough resources; 17.1 % presented late due to painless lump; 10.6% felt shyness and 6.5% presented late due to other reasons. Higher age, negative family history, < 8 school years of education and low to middle socio-economic status were significantly associated with delayed presentation (p< 0.05). Education and socioeconomic status were two independent variables related to the delayed presentation after adjustment for others (OR of 2.26, 2.29 and 95%CI was 1.25-4.10, 1.06-4.94 respectively). Conclusions: Significant numbers of women with breast cancer in North Pakistan experience presentation delay due to their misconceptions about the disease. Coordinated efforts with public health departments are needed to educate the focused groups and removing the barriers identified in the study. Long term impact will be reduced overall burden of the disease in the region.

상주 동천 상류부 산간분지의 출구에 위치하는 공검지는 통일신라시대 말기에 조성된 것으로 파악된다. 공검지 제방이 축조되기 이전에는 분지에 넓은 습지가 형성되었으며, 갈수기에는 공기 중에 노출되면서 대단히 치밀한 실트층이 퇴적되었다. 청동기시대 초기와 초기철기시대의 분지에는 주로 밭에 기장을 재배하였다. 삼국시대에는 논농사와 밭농사가 이루어졌을 것으로 생각되지만 퇴적층이 발견되지 않았다. 제방이 축조되면서 분지 내 밭에는 기장을 재배하며 논농사를 병행하였을 것이다. 공검지 일대의 청동기시대 초기기후는 냉량하였고 초기철기시대 동안의 기후는 대체로 온난하였다. 제방이 축조된 통일신라시대 말기부터 고려시대 중기까지도 역시 온난하였으나, 이후 냉량, 온난한 시기를 반복하다가 고려시대 말부터 점차 냉량해진다.

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer in women worldwide and its frequency is increasing gradually in many countries. Over the last three decades an increase in the breast cancer has been witnessed in the earlier low-risk Asian countries including Pakistan. Purpose: The objective of the current study was to assess the prevalence of known risk factors like early menarche, late menopause, socio economic, reproductive and demographic factors, among women diagnosed with breast cancer at INMOL hospital, Lahore, Punjab, as little information exists in this regard. Materials and Methods: A survey study was conducted on 200 women diagnosed with breast cancer who were seen at Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology (INMOL) hospital, Lahore. A structured questionnaire was administered to these patients regarding the known risk factors through face to face interviews after obtaining appropriate consent. Results: Regarding non-modifiable risk factors, our study showed that majority of the breast cancer patients were diagnosed at 35-45 years (32.5%) or at older age (${\leq}46$) and experienced menarche at 12 years or older (66 %). Likewise, a large number of patients reached menopause at the age of 45 years (60%), had no family and personal history of breast cancer (80%) and hence fell in a low risk category. Regarding modifiable risk factors in women diagnosed with breast cancer, most of the patients fell in low risk strata as the majority were married (98%) at young age, breastfed their children for 12 months or more (88%) and bore two to three children (80%). Considering income criteria, the majority of the patients had a low risk profile as they belonged to middle class (70%), urban area (60%) and were house wives (80%). However, it was noted that a considerable number of women (34%) diagnosed with breast cancer experienced menarche at an early age (<12) and reached menopause after the age of 45 years. This situation is further augmented by environmental changes and dietary habits and places them in a high risk category.

고고지자기 연대측정법은 소토에 남겨진 열잔류자화를 통해 과거의 지자기 변동을 측정하여 소토가 출토되는 고고유적의 연대를 알아내는 연대측정법이다. 특히 유물이 출토되지 않거나 하여 고고학적으로 연대를 추정하기 어려운 소토를 가진 유구에 대한 연대추정에 유력하게 이용할 수 있다. 삼가마와 회가마도 이러한 유구에 해당되는데, 국내에서 조사된 삼가마와 회가마에서 채취한 소토시료를 측정하여 각각 21점과 5점의 정밀도 높은 데이터를 구할 수 있었다. 이 데이터를 통해 가마들의 고고지자기 연대를 측정해 보았는데 삼가마의 고고지자기 측정연대는 A.D. 10C후반 ~ 19C 중반경이며, 회가마는 A.D. 16C초 ~ 18C중반경이었다. 데이터의 수에서 회가마보다 삼가마가 비교적 많기도 하지만, 삼베가 오랜 기간 사용되어왔던 것에 상응하게 삼가마의 연대는 시기 폭이 넓으며, 회가마의 고고지자기 연대는 그 중심연대가 회격묘가 조선후기에 유행한 것과 시기적으로 일치하며 상대적으로 짧은 시기 폭을 가진 것으로 추정된다.

남서부 영남육괴 안의도폭 지역의 변형 화강암류에 대한 SHRIMP U-Pb 연대측정을 수행하였다. 선캠브리아 편마암으로 알려진, 현저하게 변형된 호상구조를 보이는 압쇄조직의 화강암과 비교적 약하게 변형된 반상 내지 안구상의 화강암 각각 한 개씩의 시료에서 분리된 저어콘에 대한 연대측정 결과는 약 195 Ma로 연대가 동일하였다. 이 연구 결과와 기존의 연대자료에 의해 안의도폭 주변부 지역에서의 중생대 초-중기 화성활동은 다음과 같이 해석되었다: 트라이아스 중기(약 225-219 Ma)에 섭입관련 화강암질 마그마작용이 주로 서부지역에서 함양 화강암의 관입으로 시작되었고 트라이아스 말기(약 220-210 Ma)에 섬장암질 관입으로 끝났다. 비교적 짧은 휴지기 후에, 쥬라기 초기인 약 195 Ma에 이번 연구에서 연대가 측정된 변형 화강암류를 생성한 마그마의 관입으로 화강암질 마그마작용이 다시 시작되어 약 189 Ma까지 계속되었으며, 화강암질 마그마작용의 말기에는 섬록암류의 관입이 수반되었다.
