A single specimen of Albula leptocephalus (55.7 mm SL) was collected from the southern coastal waters of Korea using an aquatic lamp. It is characterized by having a ribbon-like body with a small head and a well-forked caudal fin. Although the general appearance was similar to the leptocephalus of A. vulpes including myomere counts and fin ray counts, the melanophore deposition was different from that of A. vulpes. This leptocephalus specimen was confirmed with A. forsteri using the cytochrome b mtDNA (Cytb) analysis. The genetic distance of Cytb between the present leptocephalus and A. forsteri is 0.006-0.038, which falls into the cutoff point separating Albula species into eight deep lineages including the four valid species. Its genetic characteristic have more similarities to those of Fiji than those of Hawaii and the Northern territory of Australia.

Fingerprints of 114 Australian Aboriginal males and 90 females have been analyzed. Whorls are more frequent in males (56.7%) than in females (51.2%) and loops are less frequent in males (42.6%) than in females (47.0%). The index of pattern intensity displays a higher value in males (15.60) than in females (14.94). The bimanual differences both in males and females ave not statistically significant for the occurrence of patterns on the digits of the right and left hands. Also the difference between both sexes for the occurrence of patterns is not statistically significant. Incidences of actual symmetry on homologous digits represented 74.0% in males and 77.3% in females. The mean total ridge counts showed 156.65 $\pm$43.32 (M$\pmSD) in males and 148.6943.64 (M$\pmSD) in females, respectively. Conclusively, this study represents that the Australian Aborigines conform closely to the Polynesians in finger dermatoglyphics.

The article deals with issues related to the tradition of carpet production on the territory of Kazakhstan where, for the most part, tribes engaged in nomadic livestock raising lived. Analyzing the technological component of this traditional craft, the author focuses on the main factor that influenced carpet weaving along with arts and crafts-the nomadic method of production of the Kazakhs. The study of the ideological component that accompanies the process of making various types of carpets allows us to conclude that it has a sacred meaning and subordination to myth, rite, and ritual. At the mythmaking level, the process of making carpets, like any other activity among nomads, personified the process of creating the world, the marriage of Kok-Tengri (Heaven) and Zher-Su (Earth), and the creation of the Cosmos from Chaos. The process of carpet weaving, as well as the process of making felt, symbolized the act of creation, the marriage of Heaven and Earth, and male and female principles. The study of various types of ornaments that Kazakhs and their ancestors used to decorate carpets allows us to conclude that the ornament applied to carpet products was the bearer of the most valuable information about the mythological worldview of the people. Carpets in their structure reproduced the structure of the Universe, which has a binary, ternary, and quaternary system. The ornament has turned into a kind of coded text, reflecting ideas about the cosmogonic structure of the Universe and an awareness of the harmony of the world. The location of Kazakhstan on the northern routes of the Sogdian Road (Great Silk Road) allowed the spread of various ideas, due to which carpet weaving was influenced by other peoples in technical and stylistic design.

1953년 7월 27일 한국정전협정 체결시 육상에서의 경계는 쌍방 간의 군사 접촉선을 중심으로 군사분계선이 합의되었으나 해상경계에 관하여 아무런 근거규정을 두고 있지 않다. 다만 정전협정 제2조 13항목에서 "백령도 등 서해 5도만 유엔군 사령관 통제 하에 둔다"라는 내용만 명시되어 있을 뿐이다. 이러한 입법적 흠결로 북한은 서해북방한계선을 비합법적인 선으로 그 법적 효력을 부인하고 있다. 그러나 서해 북방한계선은 1953년 8월 30일에 유엔군과 한국군의 북쪽 해상으로 월선(越線)을 방지하기 위해 설정되었다. 간헐적으로 무력충돌은 있었으나 쌍방 간의 무력적 충돌방지역할은 물론 평화와 군사적 안정을 유지시켜 온 사실상 남북한 간의 해상경계선이다. 특히 서해 북방한계선은 한국해군에게 북한의 해주 및 옹진반도, 장산곶을 연하는 해역을 통제함으로써 북한 해군의 활동 영역을 제한시키고 있기 때문에 대한 민국의 안보에 중대한 역할을 하고 있다. 따라서 북한은 서해5도의 주변 해역을 자기들의 영해라고 주장하지만 서해5도를 위시하여 38도선 이남에 있는 영역과 섬들은 대한민국이 주권을 중단 없이 행사해온 곳이다. 우리는 실효적 지배를 강화함으로써 서해북방한계선에 대한 영토관할권 행사를 해야 할 것이다.

Surface ozone concentrations measured at 40 monitoring sites in three major cities (Seoul, Busan, and Daegu) of Korea during 1993~2000 were analyzed to understand the characteristics of temporal and spatial distributions. Trends were analyzed for annual mean, 95th percentiles of daily 8-hour maximum and days exceeding 8-h ozone standard of 60 ppb. Three indicators exhibited increasing trends (+0.75 ppb yr$^{-1}$ , +2.20 ppb yr$_{-1}$ , and +5.35 days yr$_{-1}$ on average) throughout the study period at all cities. Diurnal and seasonal variations were the largest in Seoul followed by Daegue and Busan, due to the high photochemical production and titration of ozone (Seoul), strong wind and constant supply of background ozone from the ocean (Busan). In the urban centers and industrial areas at all cities, scavenging of ozone by NO reduces the daily 8-hour maximum ozone by 10 ppb on average. High concentrations of ozone have frequently occurred in downwind eastern (Seoul and Daegu) or northern (Busan) sides of the territory. In particular, the coastal area of Busan had relatively high ozone level due to the local sea land breeze circulation. The results indicated that the temporal and spatial variations of ozone concentration were non -uniform and were closely related to the local environments; emission levels, climates, and geographic locations.

A natural analogue study has been performed for the Koongarra uranium ore deposit in Australia as an international agreement of the Analogue Studies in the Alligator Rivers Region (ASARR). Rocks obtained from the Koongarra deposit, Northern Territory of Australia, were examined in order to understand uranium migration processes of primary and secondary ore-body in both weathered and unweathered zones. Total alpha activities of rock samples were measured to compare the relative amount of uranium in the sample. Uranium distributions have been investigated by means of both the alpha-autoradiography and the fission track registration technique after irradiation in a flux of thermal neutrons (~10$\times$$10^{13}$nㆍ$cm^{-2}$ㆍs$^{-1}$) for 2 minutes. The mineral phases corresponding to the registered alpha-tracks and fission tracks were identified by petrological observation with optical microscope as well as X-ray diffraction and electron microprobe analysis (EPMA). Uranium was found mostly inside of the fracture of the quartzite and its mineral phase was identified as sklodowskite. The mineral phase associated with high uranium concentration was found as illeminite by petrological observation with optical microscope as well as EPMA.

중국(中國) 하북성북부(河北省北部)의 연산산지(燕山山地)와 주변지역은 춘추(春秋) 전국(戰國)시기(B.C770~B.C221년(年)) 북방계청동문화(北方系靑銅文化)의 주요 분포지역으로 분류된다. 최근 군도산(軍都山)일대의 옥황묘묘지(玉皇廟墓地)에서 진행된 대규모 발굴조사를 통하여 그 구체적인 문화성격이 확인되면서 중국학계에서는 이 지역의 문화적 성격을 기존의 주변지역의 청동기문화와는 구별하여 독립적인 문화유형으로 설정하고 있다. 본문(本文)에서는 춘추(春秋) 전국(戰國)시기 하북성북부산지(河北省北部山地)일대의 "옥황묘문화(玉皇廟文化)" 관련 유적들을 분석대상으로 하여 묘제(墓制)와 장속(葬俗) 및 출토유물의 특징을 중심으로 옥황묘문화의 성격과 주변지역 청동기문화와의 다원적인 영향관계에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 특히 하가점상층(夏家店上層)문화와 오르도스청동기문화 및 연국계(燕國系)중원문화와의 다원적인 형태의 영향관계는 옥황묘문화의 성격과 계기적 발전과정을 이해하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 의미를 가진다. 결과적으로 상징적 형태의 석곽(石槨)이 결부된 수혈식토광묘(竪穴式土壙墓), 구(狗)위주의 동물순장(動物殉葬)과 복면장속(覆面葬俗), 단경고복관(短頸鼓腹罐), 삼족쌍이관(三足雙耳罐), 원병형수단검(圓餠形首短劍), 다량의 중원계청동용기(中原系靑銅容器)와 동과(銅戈) 및 차마구(車馬具)의 공반현상, 호형(虎形) 마형동물패식(馬形動物牌飾) 등으로 대표되는 특징들은 주변지역 북방계청동기문화와는 구별되는 옥황묘문화의 고유한 문화적 특징이라 할 수 있다. 옥황묘문화의 시 공간적 범위는 대체로 주변의 하가점상층문화(夏家店上層文化)와 오르도스청동문화 사이로 설정할 수 있으며, 묘제(墓制)와 장속(葬俗) 및 출토유물에 반영된 고유한 문화적 특징과 주변문화와의 다양한 영향관계를 통하여 볼 때 전국중기(戰國中期)이후 연문화(燕文化)에 의해 대체된다.

한국전쟁의 결과 한반도의 허리에 해당하는 DMZ 지역은 반세기 이상 인간의 관심에서 잊혀진 공간이었다. 그러나 최근 국 내외적으로 DMZ에 대한 관심이 고조되면서, 오늘날 DMZ를 대상으로 하는 연구는 점차 활발해 지고 있다. 그러나 정작 연구의 대상인 DMZ의 공간적 범위에 대한 연구는 매우 미약하다. 그마저도 선행연구를 분석한 결과 대부분의 연구에서 군사분계선과 DMZ, 한강하구 중립지역, 그리고 NLL에 대한 기술에 있어서 공간적인 오류를 범하고 있었다. 본 연구에서 조사한 결과, 동해안 고성의 명호리에서 서쪽의 임진강 하구에 이르는 군사분계선의 길이는 약 238km(148마일)이고, 군사분계선을 따라 설정되어 있는 DMZ의 면적은 약 $903.8km^2$로 측정되었다. 이는 현재 '155마일 휴전선' 등과 같이 남북을 양분하는 공간을 지칭하는 용어에 대한 재정립이 필요함을 의미하는 것이다.

The purpose of this thesis is to find out how the upper garment styles in the Ancient East and est had been influenced with each other. Analytical studies conclude the fellowing findings: 1) Upper garment styles in the feat Asia and the Egypt already highly developed in 28th century B.C. and show us the original style of the wrap-over to the left and that of the round neckline(曲領). Upper garment of the open in the center front shown in Babylonia in 18th century B.C. had been inherited to the caftan of the Hebrew and later succeeded to the Persia. 2) The tunic styles of the round neckline, the wrap-over to the left and the open in the cotter front, which were the basic styles of the upper garment, had teen widely accepted to the central Asia and the East Asia, as well as the Northern Europe, from the West Asia. 3) The styles of the wrap-over to the right originated from China since it had begun to show in the Shang Dynasty(商代, 殷代). 4) The East and the West costumes had been very much intermixed in 4th century B.C. Alexander the Great of Macedoria in 4th century B.C. expanded his territory to the central Asia and built up the Bacteria, when the most western civilization had been greatly transmitted to the Orient. Meanwhile the tunic being clad in the West and Central Asia began to be worn by soldiers in the period of the Warring States in China (326-299 B.C.) and afterwards worn even by civil officials since the age of the T'ang Dynasty of China. 5) The Upper garments of the open in the center front, the wrap-over to the right, the wrap-over to the left and the round neckline were found in Korea, which mean that the upper garment styles in the Ancient Korea were intermixed of the factors from the West Asia, the central Asia and the East Asia. 6) The styles of costume in the East Asia were influenced by the West Asia through the central Asia. The upper garment styles Europe were also influenced by the West Asia. Thus the upper garment styles in the Ancient East and West had been mutually affected with each other.
