Korean native Orostachys species collected from 22 regions investigated morphological characters.O. japonicus species(No.3∼No.9) were similar leaf morphology and characterized by lanceolate leaves, cuspidate leaf apex.O. malacophyllus species(No.12∼No. 17) were morphologically characterized by obovate leaves and acute leaf apex. This species could be differentiate from other species by no thorn and leaf outlines formed by densely populated red dots.O. iwarenge species(No.18∼No.22) were diversified, such as obovate and elliptical leaves with acute, obtuse and round leaf apices. However, this species could be differentiate from other species bl'no thorn and grey powdery green colored leaves. Species collected from Maemuldo(No. 10) and Pocheon(No. 11) was assumed that these 2 species could be the new species which were not named classified.

Thermal analyses were conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer by isothermal technique in order to characterize the Korean anthracites-nitrogen oxides reaction. The tested coal sample was Dogae anthracites and compared with SP-1 graphite. Carbon-NO and carbon-N$_2$O reactions were carried out with respect to isothermal reaction temperatures (550$^{\circ}C$-900$^{\circ}C$) and reactant gas partial pressures (5 kPa∼20 kPa). In NO reaction, measured reaction orders of NO concentration and activation energy were 0.45∼0.96 and 39∼l12 kJ/mol, respectively. In N$_2$O reaction, measured reaction orders of N$_2$O concentration and activation energy were 0.62∼0.87 and 190∼215.3 kJ/mol, respectively. Compared the Korean anthracites-nitrogen oxides reaction with the combustion reaction, the reaction rate in the oxidation below 700$^{\circ}C$ decreases in the order O$_2$>NO>N$_2$O. But above 700$^{\circ}C$, the reaction rate of N$_2$O is faster than that of NO.

Objective : This experiment was performed in order to study the effect of an aqueous extract of Salviae radix root(SRRAE) on NO production and NOS gene induction from macrophages Methods : To investigate dose-dependent effects of SRRAE for NO release on the $rIFN-{\gamma}-treated$ macrophages, the cells were incubated for 6 hrs in a medium containing $rIFN-{\gamma}$ (5 U/ml), stimulated with SRRAE and incubated in a CO2 incubator. The cells were treated with 5 U/ml $rIFN-{\gamma}$ plus 100 g/ml of SRRAE, Then, the cells were incubated with various concentrations of NGMMA at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 hrs, Results : SRRAE had no effect on NO production by itself, whereas recombinant $interferon-{\gamma}(rIFN-{\gamma})$ alone showed modest activity, When SRRAE was used in combination with $rIFN-{\gamma}$, there was a marked cooperative induction of NO production in a dose-dependent manner. The optimal effect of SRRAE on NO production was shown at 6hrs after treatment with $rIFN-{\gamma}$. The SRRAE-induced production of NO was inhibited by NG-monomethyl- L-arginine(NGMMA) and arginase. $rIFN-{\gamma}$ in combination with SRRAE showed a marked increase of the expression of the inducible NOS(iNOS) gene. In addition, the effect of SRRAE was mainly dependent on the SRRAE-induced tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}(TNF-{\alpha})$ secretion. Conclusions : SRRAE induces NO production from macrophages as a result of SRRAE-induced $TNF-{\alpha}$ secretion. SRRAE may provide a second signal for synergistic induction of NO production in macrophages already induced to express iNOS gene by $rIFN-{\gamma}$.

This study was conducted to compare soybean growth and yield and the degree of weed emergence according to no-tillage and conventional tillage system in two different drained paddy fields, loam of Chilgok series and silty clay loam of Deokpyeong series. In both soil conditions, the maturing time of the soybeans by the no-tillage system was two days earlier than that by the conventional tillage system. In the loam of Chilgok series, the stem length of the soybeans in the no-tillage system was 5.7 cm longer than that in the conventional tillage system. The miss-planted rate and diseased plants of black root rot (Calonectria iliacola) in the no-tillage system were 9.2% and 2.8% lower, respectively than those in the conventional tillage system. Also, the nodulation and seed yield in the no-tillage system were 32% and 13% more, respectively, than those in the conventional tillage system. In the silty clay loam of Deokpyeong series, the stem length of the soybeans in the no-tillage system was 4.6cm shorter than in the conventional tillage system. The diseased plants of black root rot (Calonectria iliacola) in the no-tillage system were 4.2% lower than those in the conventional tillage system. Also, no significant difference in the seed yield between the no-tillage and conventional tillage systems was observed. On the other hand, there was a lower occurrence of weed in the no-tillage system than in the conventional tillage system, and the income increased by 19% owing to yield increase and reduced management costs.

The poly(vinyl alcohol) $(PVA)/AgCF_3SO_3/Al(NO_3)_3$ electrolyte membrane was fabricated to prepare for highly permeable facilitated olefin transport membrane, compared with poly(vinylpyrrolidone) $(PVP)/AgCF_3SO_3/Al(NO_3)_3$ complex. In order to examine the characteristics of $PVA/AgCF_3SO_3/Al(NO_3)_3$ membrane, we used the analytical methods such as SEM, FT-IR, and FT-Raman. The best separation performance was observed at the mole ratio of 1 : 1 : 0.01 $PVA/AgCF_3SO_3/Al(NO_3)_3$ among various $Al(NO_3)_3$ concentration. As a result, the selectivity was 12 and mixed-gas permeability was 3.5 Barrer. Furthermore, the selectivity and permeability remained constant for up to 115 h.

In this paper, we research to secure stability of data storing/searching on NoSQL implemented on Distributed File System. When implementing NoSQL on Distributed File System, we faced that random write on Distributed File System is almost impossible. To solve this problem, a concept of Intermediate-File was employed, and then it has been achieved that our system resist any failure circumstance. Additionally, since we discovered its performance cannot be as fast as general File System, by redefining the file block unit for our NoSQL system, we have prevented a slowdown in system performance. As a result, we are able to develop highly scalable NoSQL as Distributed File System, which fulfills basic conditions of transaction: Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Performance.

Genomic DNAs were extracted from the muscle of twenty-two specimens of two shortnecked clam, Ruditapes phifippinarum populations collected in Anmyeondo and Seocheon. Genetic differences within and between populations were analysed by random amplified polymorphic DNAs-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) using twenty arbitrary decamer primers. Out of 20 primers, 6 generated a total of 1,111 major and minor RAPD bands from individuals of two sites, producing approximately 4.2 average polymorphic bands per primer in individuals from Anmyeondo and ranging in size from less than 50 to larger than 1,500 base pairs (bp). The electrophoretic analysis of RAPD products amplified showed moderate levels of similarity among the different individuals in Seo-cheon population. The average bandsharing values (BS value) of the samples within population from Anmyeondo ranged from 0.155 to 0.684, whereas it was 0.143∼0.782 within population from Seocheon. The average BS value between individuals No. 13 and No. 14 from Seocheon was 0.782 which was higher than that of those from Anmyeondo. The single linkage dendrogram resulted from three primers (OPA-08, -09 and -20), indicating six genetic groupings composed of group 1 (No.4, 8 and 10), group 2 (No. 18), group 3 (No.2, 5 and 7), group 4 (No. 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17), group 5 (16, 19 and 20) and group 6 (No. 21 and 22). In the Seocheon population, the individual No. 18 clustered distinctly from the others of this population. The observed genetic distance between the two populations from Anmyeondo and Seocheon was more than 0.209 (0.247 and 0.275). The shortest genetic distance (0.094) displaying significant molecular differences was between individuals No. 13 and No. 14. Especially, the genetic distance between individuals No. 22 and the remnants among individuals in two geographical populations was highest (0.275). This result illustrated that individual No.22 is distinct from other individuals within two shortnecked populations. The different geographical features of two sites may have caused the genetic diversity in two shortnecked clam populations.

This study investigates relative density test of standard sand and bottom ash which were devided into No.40, No.60, No.100, No.200 and resonant column tests were conducted for samples with the relative density of 40%, 55%, and 70% on the basis of the test results. Resonant column tests were also conducted for each residual bottom ash which contains the passing sample of No.200 with the relative density of 55%. By compressing each residual sample with the compaction energy of A-compact mold test, the passing percentage of No.200 sieve increased up to 30%, which led to the adjustment of relative density to 10%, 20%, and 30%. Test results show that maximum shear modulus and damping ratio of bottom ash are smaller than those of standard sand because crushing strength and unit weight of the former are smaller than those of the latter.

The NoC (network-on-chip) approach is a promising solution to the increasing complexity of on-chip communication problems because of its high scalability. But, NoC applications generally consume a lot of power, because they require a large design space to accommodate many parallel IPs and network communication channels. It is not easy to analyze the power consumption of NoC applications with conventional simulation methods using simple power models. In addition, there are also many limitations in using sophisticated simulation models because they require long execution time and large efforts. In this paper, we apply a cycle-accurate energy measurement technique and tool to the FPGA prototypes, which are generally used to verify the correctness of SoC designs, as a practical indication of the power consumption of real NoC applications. An NoC-based JPEG encoder implementation is used as a case study to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

In order to investigate the effect of $AgNO_3$ pretreatment on reducing $SO_2$ injury in leaves of Forsythia koreana, changes of pH, chlorophyll content, peroxidase activity, sulfur content, and stomatal behaviour in leaves were examined. 1. $AgNO_3$ sprayed at 200 ppm or above increased black spot development in lower epidermis of leaves. But pretreatment with 100 ppm $AgNO_3$ significantly reduced de foliation and visible injury rate of leaves exposed to $SO_2$. 2. $AgNO_3$ pretreatment prevented lowering pH and decreasing chlorophyll content induced by $SO_2$ injury in leaves. But both $AgNO_3$ pretreatment and $SO_2$ exposure increased peroxidase activity in leaves. 3. $AgNO_3$ pretreatment did not affect reducing $SO_2$ absorption and stomatal opening in leaves exposed to $SO_2$.
