  • A short-period comet, 17P/Holmes, is one of the most outstanding comets because of the outburs in 2007. It orbits the sun at the distance between 2.1AU and 5.2 AU with the orbital period of 6.9 year. On 2007 October 23, its brightness was suddenly increased by about a million times from 17 mag to 2.5 mag. We made observations of 17P/Holmes soon after the outburst on October 25, 27 and 28, using a 105cm telescope at the Ishigakijima Astronomical observatory, Japan. We took the images with V, R and I-band filters simultaneously. Total exposure times are 15 (October 25), 69 (October 27), and 37 (October 28) minute in each filter. The composite images provide good signal to noise ratio and help us to recognize faint structures embedded in the dust cloud. We examined a sequence of images using a digital filter that enhances the small-scale structures. As the result of the data analysis, we confirm (1) the radial expanded structure coming out from the nucleus of comet, and (2) dozens of blobs that moved radially away from the nucleus. In this presentation, we introduce the observations and the data reductions, and consider the origins of these fine structure.

  • Background : This study examined the effect of harvesting time on the growth, yield characteristics, and major beneficial components in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methods and Results : Although plant height, stem diameter and branch length were not affected by harvesting time, the number of stems was highest when harvested in mid October. There were no differences in root length and thickness, however, the rhizome was thicker when it was harvested at the end of October or early November than when it was harvested in early and mid October. The dried root weight also showed a similar pattern. However, there was a statistically significant increase to 408 kg (16%) in the rhizome weight when in late October and a rise to 455 kg (29%) when harvested in early November. Harvest time had little effect on the content of the major component of S. miltiorrhiza. For example, salvianolic acid content rose from 9.42 to 9.64% with later harvest times, and tanshinone ${\prod}A$ content was tended to be slightly more increased in mid October which S. miltiorrhiza has 0.22% tanshinon ${\prod}A$ than in early October. Conclusions : According to these results, the optimum harvest time for S. miltiorrhiza is early November when plant or major component yields are hightest. There were no significant harvest time effects on the major beneficial components.

  • The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effects of different sowing dates on growth characteristics, seed productivity and feed value of triticale in Gyeongbuk province. The experiment was conducted from September 2015 to July 2017, using triticale "Joseong" cultivar of 150 kg of seed/ha and sown at 10 days intervals from different sowing dates ($30^{th}$ September, $10^{th}$, $20^{th}$ and $30^{th}$ October) in 2015 and 2016, respectively. The emergence date in the autumn season was 8 - 18 days after sowing in 2015 and 2016. The heading, flowering and maturing periods were the fastest on $30^{th}$ September compared to the other sowing dates. The average number of stem and panicle per unit area were 409.3 - 428.5 and 330.9 - 334.0 on $30^{th}$ September and $10^{th}$ October, which were higher than those sown on $20^{th}$ and $30^{th}$ October, 2015 and 2016, respectively (p < 0.05), and the average number of grain and kernel weight was 47.1 - 48.1 and 2.2 - 2.3 g on $30^{th}$ September and $10^{th}$ October, which were higher than the late sowing dates. In case of seed yield as affected by different sowing dates, the highest yield was found on the sowing plot of late September and $10^{th}$ October, which were 5,680 and 5,918 kg/ha, respectively (p < 0.05). However, the average CP content was 10.7%, CF content was 2.8% and TDN content was 85.3. In conclusion, $30^{th}$ September and $10^{th}$ October were the appropriate sowing dates for a forage self-sufficiency system in Gyeongbuk.

  • By use of the recent tropical cyclones' data in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, the occurrence frequency and region of typhoon as well as the features of the monthly mean track were analyzed. As the result of this study, (1) mean occurrence frequency of typhoon per year is 27.5, and 68% of total typhoons were formed in July to October and shown the highest frequency in August. (2) The ave-rage duration of typhoons is 8.5 days, and super typhoon which maximum sustained surface wind speeds is more than 130 knots occurs most frequently in October and November. (3) The highest frequency ap-pears around the Caroline, Mariana and Marshall Islands, and in wintertime, typhoon occurs in lower lati-tude comparing with those in summertime. (4) The typhoon track depends upon the distribution of pres-sure system and steering current in neighbouring areas. The mean track of typhoon can be classified into three types such as westward-moving type, northward-moving type and abnormally moving type. The west-ward-moving typhoons make landfall on the southern China by way of the South China Sea in June and July, on mid-part of China in August and September, and on Indo-china Peninsula in October and Novem-ber. The northward-moving typhoons approximately move on north~northwestward track to $20~30^{\circ}N$ from the occurrence region, then recurve to the East Sea through Korean Peninsula and Kyushu Island in June and July, to the Noth Pacific Ocean along the Japanese Islands in August and September and to the North Pacific Ocean through the seas far south off the Japan in October and November.

  • The purpose of the present study is to estimate the release of dissolved Inorganic nitrogen and photophorous from sediments of Deukryang Bay. One method used In this study is to calculate nutrients released from a concentration gradient between sediment porewaters and the overlying water based on periments. The calculated and measured ammonium released from the sediments were 8.93mg-atN/$m^2$ hr and 60.4mg/atN/$m^2$ hr, respectively In July. 8.57mg-atN/$m^2$. hr and 32.9mg/atN/$m^2$ hr, respectively in October. The ammonium was released more highly in truly than in October, and the measured ammonium flux was higher than the calculated one. The calculated nitrate plus nitrite released from the sediments were 0.31mg/atN/$m^2$. hr in July and 0.84mg/atN/$m^2$. hr in October. The measured nitrate plus nitrite released from the sediments was 282mg/atN/$m^2$. hr in October. The calcuated was lower than the measured because the content of the nutrients in the sediments was always much more than in the overlying waters, and it has shown a differently seasonal pattern compared to the ammonium flux. The calculated phosphorous released from the sediments were 0.97mP/atN/$m^2$ hr and measured negative fluxed -6.50mP/atN/$m^3$ hr In truly, and alculated 0.18mg/atP/$m^2$. hr and measured 24.6mg/atP/$m^2$. hr, respectively in October.
