This study was performed for exploring the spatial distribution pattern of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. in Korea. Firstly, the spatial distribution map of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. was prepared in grid of $100m{\times}100m$ at national level, using digital forest type map and actual vegetation map. And thematic maps for topography, climate, and soil were also prepared in the raster form of $100m{\times}100m$. Through GIS based spatial analysis of the digital distribution map of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. and thematic maps, the spatial characteristics of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. distribution was explored in relation to the environmental factors such as topography, climate, and soil. And the occurrence frequency models of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. were derived. Pinus densiflora occurs more often than Quercus spp. at low elevation, low slope gradient, and high temperature areas. In addition, Pinus densiflora is mainly distributed at shallow and well-drained loamy soil from igneous rocks. In contrast, Quercus spp. is more common at shallow and well-drained loamy soil from metamorphic rocks. As a result, the prediction model for the spatial distribution of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. by topographical variables has proven successful with high statistical significance. The result of this study can contribute to rational management of Pinus densiflora and Quercus spp. stand in Korea, considering environmental factors such as topography, climate, and soil.

MA Al alloys are examined to determine the effects of alloying of Mg and Cu and rolling on tensile deformation behavior at 748 K over a wide strain rate range($10^{-4}-10^3/s$). A powder metallurgy aluminum alloy produced from mechanically alloyed pure Al powder exhibits only a small elongation-to-failure(${\varepsilon}_f$ < ~50%) in high temperature(748 K) tensile deformation at high strain rates(${\acute{\varepsilon}}=1-10^2/s$). ${\varepsilon}_f$ in MA Al-0.5~4.0Mg alloys increases slightly with Mg content(${\varepsilon}_f={\sim}140%$ at 4 mass%). Combined addition of Mg and Cu(MA Al-1.5%Mg-4.0%Cu) is very effective for the occurrence of superplasticity(${\varepsilon}_f$ > 500%). Warm-rolling(at 393-492 K) tends to raise ${\varepsilon}_f$. Lowering the rolling-temperature is effective for increasing the ductility. The effect is rather weak in MA pure Al and MA Al-Mg alloys, but much larger in the MA Al-1.5%Mg-4.0%Cu alloy. Additions of Mg and Cu and warm-rolling of the alloy cause a remarkable reduction in the logarithm of the peak flow stress at low strain rates (${\acute{\varepsilon}}$< ~1/s) and sharpening of microstructure and smoothening of grain boundaries. Additions of Mg and Cu make the strain rate sensitivity(the m value) larger at high strain rates, and the warm-rolling may make the grain boundary sliding easier with less cavitation. Grain boundary facets are observed on the fracture surface when ${\varepsilon}_f$ is large, indicating the operation of grain boundary sliding to a large extent during superplastic deformation.

The exterior of Korean traditional wooden buildings have been painted with Danchung of painting method using glue and pigments. However because of losing traditional techniques and materials through the period of colonization and industrialization, many problems are occurring today. Especially after several years from painting, occurrence of scalings and flakings in painting layer is a serious problem. To improve weathering resistance of painting layer caused by stress from the difference of swelling and shrinkage between painting layer and wood plate, was examined by weathering tests. The stress is due to the hydrophilic property of wood, mechanical properties(tensile property and stress relaxation) of painting layer, and priming methods by various binders such as glue, acrylic emulsion(Primal AC-3444), acrylic resin(Paraloid B-72). Because stress relaxation of acrylic emulsion of which glasf transition temperature is below room temperature$(7^{\circ}C)$ is high, painting layers with acrylic emulsion generate no scalings and flakings and are in the most durable state in all weathering tests. Priming method which starts from low concentration to high concentration, is more effective to improve durability than other priming methods.

To understand the seasonal changes in the zooplankton community, we investigated their occurrence patterns and environmental factors during four seasons at 9 stations along the coast of Geumo Archipelago, Yeosu. A total of 44 taxa were sampled, with an abundance ranging from 15~$28,183inds.\;m^{-3}$, among which Noctiluca scintillans predominented. Noctiluca scintillans, Paracalaus parvus s. l., Acartia (Acartiura) omorii, Oithona spp., Aidanosagitta crassa, dedapods larvae, copepods nauplii, and copepodites were the most abundant taxa detected. Species diversity of zooplankton was high in autumn and winter, but it was relatively low in summer and spring. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (nMDS) revealed significant differences in the structures of the zooplankton community among the seasons. Our results showed that the seasonal variation in zooplankton community along the coast of Guemo Archipelago, Yeosu were attributable to seasonal changes in temperature, salinity, and Chl. a concentration. Additionally, this particularly study area might have been specifically influenced by occurs of the neritic species.

The relationships between the weather conditions and the occurrence of rice bacterial grain rot caused by Burkholderia glumae during the rice heading period, were examined by analying the data accumulated from 1992 through 2000 and by conducting greenhouse and field experiment to develop a model far forecasting the disease. The disease severely occurred in 1994, 1995, 1998, and 2000, when it was high in temperature and rainfall during the heading period of middle-late rice varieties. While it occurred weakly in 1993 was high in rainfall and low temperature and it was reversely in 1997. When treated under wetting condition (above the 24-hour)after inoculation at heading period, the infection rate increased as the inculum concentration increased, it was 86.1% at 10$^{8}$ cfu/ml. When under drying condition, the disease of 12.5% occurred only at $^{8}$ cfu/ml. On the other hand, 1,000 grain weight and the percentage of ripened grains remarkably decreased as the infection rate increased.

This study, one of the projects for investigation of the precious metal deposits of the Circum-Pacific Ocean coon-tries, was performed in a gem field of Pailling, Cambodia, in which there are numbers of undeveloped mineral resources. The gem fields in the Pailling area are typically distributed in the laterite, lying on of weathered basalts. The gem grade of corundum is low in the surface soil horizon(less than 1 m in depth), but is higher in the subsurface. Occurrence and genetic environment of the precious stone are not concerned in the soils. A Precious stone that is already made from at the least upper part of volcanic rocks is produced in large quantities to undergoing to weathering of the rocks. A precious stone is made from upper part of the formation under the high temperature when volcano is vomiting or after vomiting. and/or made from between the formation under the high temperature when other volcano is vomiting. Volcanic rocks including precious stone are a little different from other volcanic rocks when volcano is vomiting, but chemical composition of rocks is not far different from other volcanic rocks.

This study was carried out to establish the in vitro culture system of potato germplasms for minimizing the occurrence of variation and maximizing the culture period. We used osmoticum such as sorbitol or mannitol with sucrose in the absence of plant growth regulators. The growth of potato germplasms in the medium containing osmoticum was increased when the growth temperature was lowered. After six months storage in low temperature, plant heights of tetraploid was somewhat higher than those of diploid with the exception of stn-16 and the difference due to media was not observed. But after twelve months storage, survival rates of plants cultured in LSM 1(sucrose and sorbitol) was higher than those of plants cultured in LSM 2(sucrose and mannitol). The survival rate of stn-16, diploid wild species, was approximately 75% and it was considerably high. In Atlantic, tetraploid cultivated variety, every individual was survived.

The K Ar ages, whole rock geochemistry and Sr Nd Pb isotopes have been determined for the submarine basalts dredged from the P2 and P3 segments of the Antarctic-Phoenix Ridge (APR), Drake Passage, Antarctica, for better understanding on temporal variation of magma chemistry in association with extinction of seafloor spreading. The fossilized APR is distant from the known hot spots, and consists of older N-MORB prior to extinction of spreading and younger E-MORB after extinction. The older N-MORB (3.5-6.4 Ma) occur in the southeast flank of the P3 segment (PR3) and the younger E-MORB (1.4-3.1 Ma) comprise a huge seamount at the P3 segment (SPR) and a big volcanic edifice at the P2 segment (PR2). The N-type PR3 basalts have higher Mg#, K/Ba, and CaO/Al2O3 and lower Zr/Y, Sr, and Na8.0 with slight enrichment in incompatible elements and almost flat REE patterns. The E-type SPR and PR2 basalts are highly enriched in incompatible elements and LREE. The extinction of spreading occurring at 3.3 Ma seems to have led to a temporal magma oversupply with E-MORB signatures. Geochemical signatures such as Ba/TiO2, Ba/La, and Sm/La suggest heterogeneity of upper mantle and formation of E-MORB by higher contribution of enriched materials to mantle melting, compared to N-MORB environment. E-MORB magmas beneath the APR seem to have been produced by low melting degree (up to 1% or more) at deeper low-temperature regime, where metasomatized veins consisting of pyroxenites have preferentially participated in the melting. The occurrence of E-MORB at the APR is a good example to better understand what kinds of magmatism would occur in association with extinction of spreading.

The occurrence patterns of Acartia(Copepoda; Calanoida) species, A. erythraea, A. hongi, A. hudsonica, A. ohtsukai, and A. sinjiensis, were examined in the southern coastal waters of Korea in the summer in August 2012. The Acartia species had different spatial distribution according to environmental factors. A. erythraea showed higher density in a semi-closed bay (Gamak, Masan) where the dissolved oxygen was low (<2 mg L^-1). A. sinjiensis showed a high density in a semi-closed bay when the chlorophyll-a concentration was >2 ㎍ L^-1. A. ohtsukai showed a high density at water temperatures >26℃ and low salinity <30. A. hongi and A. hudsonica showed at water temperatures <27℃ and high dissolved oxygen (>5 mg L^-1). These results suggest that environmental factors (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a concentration) may affect the spatial distribution of Acartia species dominant in the southern coasts of Korea in summer.

This study investigated the occurrences and succession patterns of harmful cyanobacteria, as well as environmental factors, during a 3-year period (September 2012 to August 2015) in the upper region of the Nakdong River around Sangju weir. A total of 27 cyanobacterial taxa were observed in this study, and classified into 26 species and 1 variety belonging to 11 genera, 5 families, and 3 orders. Cell density ranged from 24 to 42,001 cells/ml, with a geometric mean of 33 cells/ml, during the survey period. The dominant orders differed depending on the survey year; order Oscillatoriales in 2013, Chroococcales in 2014 and Nostocales in 2015. An Aphanizomenon bloom occurred in June 2015 at which time the highest cell density of 36,873 cells/ml was detected in the upper region of the Nakdong River, where as the Aphanizomenon spp. cell density (190-1,704 cells/ml) had been low prior to that time. An Aphanizomenon bloom also occurred at around the same time downstream in the Young River, a major inflow branch of the Nakdong River. The Aphanizomenon cell density along the Nakdong River increased markedly after joining of the YoungRiver, indicating that the Aphanizomenon bloom in the YoungRiver caused a bloom in the Nakdong River. Meteorological and environmental parameters, such as very low precipitation, higher water temperature, pH, and TP concentration, and lower TN/TP ratio, in May and June of 2015 than in 2013 and 2014 exerted marked effects on the Aphanizomenon bloom in June 2015 in the Young River.
