Water gets magnetically charged when it is contacted with a magnet. Although magnetic water products have been promoted since the 1930's, they have received very little recognition due to questionable effectiveness. Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) is a widely occurring nitrosamine that is one of the most important environmental carcinogens primarily inducing tumors of liver. In this study, the effect of magnetized water supplementation on lymphocyte DNA damage in ICR mice treated with DEN was evaluated using the Comet assay. Mice were divided into 3 groups: control, DEN, and DEN + magnetized water group. Fifteen mice were maintained in each group for the entire experimental period of 6, 12 and 18 weeks. Five mice in each group were sacrificed at 6, 12, and 18th weeks, followed by the Comet assay using the blood obtained from heart puncture of the mice. The level of lymphocyte DNA damage reflected by tail moment and other DNA damage indices of tail DNA (%) or tail length of the magnetized water group were significantly decreased after the 6th, 12th and 18th weeks of supplementation compared with the positive control, the DEN group. The relative DNA damage of the magnetized water groups compared to the DEN control group after 6th, 12th, and 18th weeks of supplementation were 42.2%, 40.8%, and 32.9% for DNA in tail, 31.2%, 32.6%, and 21.3% for tail length, and 33.8%, 33.8%, and 24.6% for tail moment, respectively. This is the first report demonstrating that magnetized water may be involved in the lowering effect of the DNA damage in DEN-treated ICR mice. This result suggests that the magnetized water might have minimized the DNA damage by improving the antioxidant status of the mice. However, further studies are needed to characterize the condition of the magnetization and examine the long-term effect of the water product.

Non-invasive blood glucose measurement from mouse tail was performed by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Three groups; normal, type I diabetes (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM), type II diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) group, were studied over a 10 weeks period with the collection of near-infrared (NIR) spectra. Spectral variations from long-term measurement (10 weeks) from dramatic and nonlinear changes in the optical properties of the live tissue sample were compensated by chemometrics techniques such as principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) regression. The effect from mouse body temperature changes on NIR spectral data was also considered. This study showed that the compensation of variations from long-term measurement and temperature changes improved calibration accuracy of non-invasive blood glucose measurement.

A new free-living marine nematode, Chaetonema longicorpus sp. nov., was discovered in a subtidal benthic habitat around the Uljin nuclear power plant in the East Sea. Chaetonema longicorpus sp. nov. differs from other Chaetonema species in its very long body length, relatively long cephalic setae, long and narrow buccal cavity, bottle-shaped amphideal fovea, short spicules, only one pre-cloacal seta instead of a pre-cloacal supplement, and conspicuous ventral swelling at the middle of the tail. Herein, we provide a taxonomic description and illustrations of this new species using differential interference contrast microscopy. Furthermore, an illustrated pictorial key to all valid species, including the new species and comparative tables on the biogeographical and morphological characteristics of the genus Chaetonema, are provided.

전자학술지의 등장으로 대학도서관의 학술지 구입정책이 핵심저널에 근거한 선택적 수서에서 빅딜에 의한 패키지 구입으로 변화하였다. 이와 관련하여 이용자들의 학술지 이용은 어떻게 변화했을까? 이 연구의 목적은 대학도서관의 학술지 공급방법과 규모의 변화가 이용자들의 학술지 이용에 영향을 미쳤는지를 분석하는데 있다. 특히 온라인의 등장으로 이용자들의 학술지 이용이 확대되는 롱테일현상이 나타나는지에 초점을 뒀다. 이를 위해 K 대학도서관의 2013~2015년 동안의 외국 전자학술지의 실제 이용통계를 사용하여, 학술지 이용에 있어 온라인플랫폼에서 유효한 틈새상품으로 수요 이동이 발생하는지를 살펴보았다. 3년 동안의 연도별 학술지 이용 분석결과 K 대학도서관의 전자학술지 이용은 과거에 비해 학술지의 규모가 비교할 수 없을 만큼 증가하였음에도 불구하고, 여전히 상위 20%의 학술지에 그 이용이 집중되는 파레토현상이 나타났다. 특히 2015년의 경우는 상위 5%의 학술지 이용이 전체 이용의 거의 80%를 차지하는 현상을 보여, 수퍼스타효과를 나타냈다. 이처럼 학술지의 공급방식과 규모의 변화에도 불구하고 이용자들의 학술지 이용은 여전히 핵심저널에 집중되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

A new free-living marine nematode species of the genus Pseudosteineria Wieser, 1956 affiliated with the family Xyalidae is described based on specimens collected from the sediment of a subtidal benthic environmental habitat in the East Sea, Korea. Pseudosteineria varisetis sp. nov differed from its congeners by the combination of the following characteristics: a relatively long body (1,628-1,691 ㎛ long in males), a circular amphideal fovea situated behind the subcephalic setae, the presence of lateral cuticular alae starting from behind the nerve ring, the presence of eight groups of long subcephalic setae, the presence of irregularly distributed variable lengths of somatic setae on the body, solid spicules (43.2-43.9 ㎛ long) with a cephalated proximal end, a long tubular shaped gubernaculum with dorsal swelling, and a conico-cylindrical tail with two to four terminal setae. In this report, we provide a taxonomic description and illustrations of a new species of the genus Pseudosteineria by differential interference contrast microscopy.

We consider an unlimited fluid queueing model which has Fractional Brownian motion(FBM) as an input and a single server of constant service rate. By using the result of Duffield and O'Connell(6), we investigate the asymptotic tail-distribution of the stationary work-load. When there are multiple homogeneous FBM inputs, the workload distribution is similar to that of the queue with one FBM input; whereas for the heterogeneous sources the asymptotic work-load distributions is dominated by the source with the largest Hurst parameter.

This study was carried out to investigate the distribution and morphological properties of mast cells in the ileum of Korean pheasant. In the ileum mast cells were located in the lamina propria of mucoase. The cells were mainly oval with irregular cell surface occasionally spindle-like or triangular in shape. Some mast cells had one or more tail-like long cytoplasmic processes. All mast cells had many blue granules stained by toluidine blue in the cytoplasm.

1. Around the Jeju Island, 214 fish species are described by some authors, of which 53 species are regarded as major fishes for the object of commercial fishing. 2. Major fishing method around the Jeju Island are scoop net for anchovy, gill net for mackerels, long line for sea breams. For large pelagic fishes such as yellow tail, tolling method are expected.
