This study was carried out to establish a proper cultivation condition and diagnose the drought-tolerance of three wild edible greens belonging to genus of Ligularia by using pressure-volume curves methods. The result of the original bulk osmotic pressure at maximum turgor ${\Psi}_{\circ}{^{sat}}$ was -0.8 MPa in Ligularia fischeri and L. stenocephala, which was somewhat lower than the value, -0.7 MPa, in L. fischeri var. spiciformis. In addition, the values of the osmotic pressure at incipient plasmolysis ${\Psi}_{\circ}{^{tlp}}$ in L. fischeri and L. stenocephala, both of which were -0.9 MPa, These were slightly lower than that of -0.8 MPa in L. fischeri var. spiciformis. On the other hand, it appeared that the values of maximum bulk modulus of elasticity $E_{max}$ of L. fischeri and L. stenocephala were approximately two times higher than that of L. fischeri var. spiciformis. However, There was a distinct difference between the values of the relative water contents in these three species. Therefore, Ligularia spp, occurring incipient plasmolysis in the high water contents, have a relatively low property of drought-tolerance, suggesting that growth of those Ligularia spp. are appropriate for relative moisture forest.

The differential pulse anode stripping voltammograms of some rare earth elements and their complexes with catechol have been investigated in various pH and electrolytes. In a 0.1 M LiCl and pH 5.3 solution, $Euv^{3+}$ and $Pr^{3+}$ showed a single oxidation peak at -0.2 V and the oxidation currents were linearly increased with the concentration of those ions. $Tm^{3+}$, $Tb^{3+}$, $Yb^{3+}$ and $Sm^{3+}$ showed two oxidation peaks at -0.5 V and -0.2 V and the oxidation currents at -0.5 V were increased with the concentration increase of those ions. The linear range of those calibration curves was in 1 ppm-10 ppm. In the case of voltammograms of catechol complexes of rare earth elements, $Tb^{3+}$-catechol and $Eu^{3+}$-catechol complex showed a single oxidation peak at -0.95 V and -0.65V, respectively and $Sm^{3+}$-catechol, $Pr^{3+}$-catechol, $Tm^{3+}$-catechol and $Yb^{3+}$-catechol complexes showed two oxidation peaks. The linear range of the calibration curves of those complex was 0.1 ppm~1.0 ppm.

Several voltage instability/collapse problems that have occurred in the electric utility industry worldwide have gained the attention of engineers and researchers of electric power systems. This paper proposes an effective calculation scheme of the extreme loading point and nose curves(P-V curves) using modified Newton-Raphson(N-R) load flow method and the Continuation Method. This method provides detail and visual information of the power system voltage profile and operating margin ro operators and planners. In this paper, a modified load flow claculation method for ill-conditioned power systems is introduced for the purpose of seeking more precise load flow solutions and nose curves, and the Continuation Method is also used as a part of the solution algorithm for the calculation of extreme loading point and nose curves. The conventional polar coordinate based N-R load flow program is modified to avoid numerical difficulties caused by the singularity of the Jacobian matrix occuring in the vicinity of extreme loading point of heavily loaded systems. Application results of the proposed method to Klos-Kerner 11-bus system and modified IEE-30-bus system are presented to assure the usefulness of the approach.

Archimedes determined the center of gravity of a parabolic section as follows. For a parabolic section between a parabola and any chord AB on the parabola, let us denote by P the point on the parabola where the tangent is parallel to AB and by V the point where the line through P parallel to the axis of the parabola meets the chord AB. Then the center G of gravity of the section lies on PV called the axis of the parabolic section with $PG=\frac{3}{5}PV$. In this paper, we study strictly locally convex plane curves satisfying the above center of gravity properties. As a result, we prove that among strictly locally convex plane curves, those properties characterize parabolas.

This paper presents results from a series of model tests on laterally loaded single piles with both free-head and free-tip conditions. Model tests, using a centrifuge apparatus (middie size, Mark II in 7.1.7.) were carried out in sand based on the variation of different gravity acceleration and flexural stiffness of the pile and relative density of the soil. The aims of this study are to estimate the effect of gravity acceleratioil, flexordis stiffness, and relative density on the behavior of the pile embedded in Toyoura sand and to evaluate the applicability of a family of the p-y curves which was presented by several reseachers(Mur chison & O'Neill, neese et n., scott, Det worske veritas, nondner). The Program is deviloped by using p-y curves, and it can be used for the calculation of the displacement distri bution, bending moment distribution, and soil reaction distribution. By comparing meas ured responses with predicted one it is shown that the results of the p-y curve equation presented by Murchison & O'Neill and Kondner agreed with the general trend observed by the centrifuge tests much better than the numerical solutions predicted by the other sets of p -y curves.

New photometric and spectroscopic solutions of W-type overcontact binary V 417 Aql were obtained by solving the UBV light curves of Samec et al. (1997) and radial-velocity ones of Lu ＆ Rucinski (1999) with the 2003 version of the Wilson-Devinney binary code. In the light curve synthesis the light of a third-body, which Qian (2003) proposed, was considered and obtained about 2.7%, 2.2%, and 0.4% for U, B, and V bandpasses, respectively. The model with third-light is better fitted to eclipse parts than that with no third-light. Absolute dimensions of V417 Aql are determined from our solution as $M_1$= 0.53 $M_{*}$, $M_2$= 1.45 $M_{*}$, $R_1$= 0.84 $R_{*}$, and $R_2$= 1.31 $M_{*}$, and the distance to it is deduced as about 216pc. Our distance is well consistent with that (204pc) derived from Rucinski ＆ Duerbeck's (1997) relation, $M_{v}$ = $M_{v}$(log P, B-V), but is more distant than that (131$\pm$40pc) determined by the Hipparcos trigonometric parallax. The difference may result from the relatively large error of Hipparcos parallax for V 417 Aql.l.

The first presented BV light curves of BH UMa confirmed Krajci's (2005) result that BH UMa is an RR Lyr star that belongs to the RRc subgroup. The light curves showed a slight asymmetry of D = 0.453 with an amplitude of about $0.^m58$ in B, $0.^m47$ in V, and $0.^m11$ in B-V and with a small hump between $0.^p82$ and $0.^p86$. We determined nine new times of minimum light and eight times of maximum light. We also analyzed all of the available unanalyzed minimum timings and found for the first time that the period of BH UMa has varied dramatically in at least three independent sinusoidal ways superposed on a secularly downward parabola over 66 years. The secular period decreasing rate was obtained as $6.^d684{\times}10^{-8}y^{-1}$, corresponding to -0.58 s/century. The semi-amplitude and period for each of the three sinusoidal variations were ($0.^d058$, $14.^y44$), ($0.^d044$, $9.^y98$), and ($0.^d005$, $0.^y97$), respectively. It is uncertain whether the periodicity for the shortest period of $0.^y97$ is real or spurious. The secular period decrease, well consistent with those of the other RRc stars, could be considered as a natural result of the evolution of the BH UMa system. The two possible sinusoidal terms were interpreted as both two light-time effects due to two additional bodies orbiting BH UMa and combinations of random fluctuations in the pulsation period of BH UMa. Two interpretations were shortly discussed with related parameters.

The SrBi$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{9}$ (SBN) thin films were deposited on p-type(100) Si substrates by rf magnetron sputtering to confirm the Possibility of Pt/SBN/Si structure for the application of nondestructive read out ferroelectric random access memory (NDRO- FRAM). The SBN thin films were deposited by co-sputtering method with Sr$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{7}$ (SNO) and Bi$_2$O$_3$ ceramic targets. The SBN thin films deposited at room temperature were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1hr in $O_2$ ambient. The structural and electrical properties of SBN with different power ratios of targets were measured by x-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), capacitance-voltage(C-V), and current-voltage(I-V). The C-V curves of the SBN films showed hysteresis curves of a clockwise rotation showing ferroelectricity. When the Power ratio of the SNO/Bi$_2$O$_3$ targets was 120 W/100 W, the SBN thin films had excellent electrical properties. The memory window of SBN thin film was 1.8 V-6.3 V at applied voltage of 3 V-9 V and the leakage current density was 1.5 $\times$ 10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at applied voltage of 5 V The composition of SBN thin films was analysed by electron probe X-ray micro analyzer(EPMA) and the atomic ratio of Sr:Bi:Nb with pawer ratio of 120 W/100 W was 1:3:2.

This study was to diagnose the ontogenetic ability of drought tolerance in trees, and was to investigate the seasonal changes in tissue-water relations parameters, ${\pi}_o$, ${\pi}_p$, $E_{max}$, $N_s/DW$, $V_o/W_s$ and $RWC_{(tlp)}$, obtained from P-V curves on the Pinus koraiensis and Abies holophylla shoots. The results obtained are as follows; 1) Seasonal changes of original osmotic pressure at maximum turgot, ${\pi}_o$, were -1.2 to -1.6 MPa in Pinus koraiensis and -1.4 to -1.7 MPa in Abies holophylla. 2) Seasonal changes of osmotic pressure at incipient plasmolysis, ${\pi}_p$, were -1.8 to -2.1 MPa in Pinus koraiensis and -1.6 to -2.1 MPa in Abies holophylla. 3) Seasonal changes of relative water content at incipient plasmolysis, $RWC_{(tlp)}$, were 70 to 77% in Pinus koraiensis and 69 to 85% in Abies holophylla. 4) Seasonal changes of maximum bulk modulus of elasticity at maximum hydration, $E_{max}$, were 2.2 to 6.3 MPa in Pinus koraiensis and 3.1 to 7.9 MPa in Abies holophylla. 5) Seasonal changes of number of osmoles of solute in symplasm versus dry weight, $N_s/DW$, were 0.5 to 1.3 in Pinus koraiensis and 0.3 to 1.0 in Abies holophylla. 6) Seasonal changes of original osmotic water volume versus total water volume (symplasmic and apoplastic water), $V_o/W_s$, were 55 to 65%r in Pinus koraiensis and 40 to 65% in Abies holophylla. Consequently, as the comparative values of ${\pi}_o$, ${\pi}_p$, $E_{max}$, $N_s/DW$, $V_o/W_s$, and $RWC_{(tlp)}$, it might be suggested that Abies holophylla shoot could have more or less a greater ability of drought tolerance as compared with Pinus koraiensis shoot.
