The existence of the North-South asymmetry of the solar activity is widely accepted even though the phenomenon is not yet satisfactorily understood. We have studied the temporal variations in the North-South asymmetry of the sunspot area during the period from May in 1874 to April in 2007. The combined data have been examined for periodicity in the solar activity North-South asymmetry. We have found that (i) solar northern and southern hemispheres show an asymmetric behavior, in terms of a sunspot area, (ii) sunspot areas in northern and southern hemispheres show clearly the 11 year periodicity when they were analyzed separately, as they do when analyzed together, (iii) in addition to the general 11 year periodicity in both northern and southern hemisphere solar activities, there are also noticeable shorter periodicities other than the 11 year periodicity in the asymmetry in North-South activity. Finally, we conclude by pointing out the importance of studying the North-South asymmetry of the solar activity.

We investigated the diel periodicity in the drift in relation to body size by field survey using the fourth instar grazing larvae of Micrasema quadriloba Martynov (Trichoptera, Brachycentridae) as a material. Although the larvae showed nocturnal drift periodicity, drift density in the nighttime was only twice that in the daytime. In both time periods, smaller individuals drifted significantly more, and the drift individuals in the daytime was the smallest in size (P< 0.05 in Sheffe's F). We discussed whether the drift of the fourth instar larvae drift behaviorally or accidentally considering larval size and food depletion.

본 연구에서는 국내 기상관측소 중 관측년수가 30년 이상인 관측소 63개 지점에 대한 5개의 수문기상수문인자 즉, 연강수량, 연강수일수, 연평균기온, 연평균상대습도, 연일조시간 자료를 각 지점별로 수집하고, 통계학적 기법인 Wald-Wolfowitz 검정, Mann-Whitney 검정을 이용하여 변동성 분석과 Wavelet Transform을 이용하여 주기성을 분석하였다. 변동성 분석결과 연평균상대습도, 연평균기온에서 공통적으로 변동성이 나타났으며, 연강수량, 연강수일수, 연일조시간은 지역에 따라 상이한 결과를 보였다. 주기성 분석에서는 연강수량, 연강수일수에서 각 지점별로 주기가 나타났으나, 연평균기온, 연평균상대습도, 연일조시간에서는 뚜렷한 주기가 나타나지 않았다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the periodicity of the lower extremity joint flexion/extension angle to compare the local stability between young and elderly women during walking on a treadmill. Method: Eighteen young women (mean $age=21.2{\pm}1.6y$; mean $mass=57.1{\pm}6.1kg$; mean $height=1.61{\pm}0.04m$) and 18 elderly women (mean $age=66.4{\pm}1.2y$; mean $mass=55.4{\pm}8.3kg$; mean $height=1.56{\pm}0.04m$) participated in this study. Approximate entropy (ApEn) was used to determine the periodicity in the lower limb joint angles. Results: The ApEn values of the two groups were statistically greater in the surrogate data test than in the original time series data (p<.05). The periodicity of the hip and ankle flexion/extension angles decreased in the elderly women group compared with the young women group (p<.05). The periodicity of the lower extremity joint flexion/extension angle showed that the ankle joint increased dominatingly in both groups (p<.05); the hip joint decreased compared with the knee joint in the young women group; and the knee joint decreased compared with the hip joint in the elderly women group (p<.05). Conclusion: These results suggest that the lower extremity joint flexion/extension angles of the young and elderly women during walking contained random noises as well as biological signals. In addition, the differences in the periodicity in the lower extremity joint between the young and elderly women may provide some insight in predicting potential falls and be used as a characteristic indicator for determining local stability in elderly women during walking.

본 연구에서는 주거환경이 다른 6두의 개를 대상으로 일정한 시간간격으로 채혈하여 만든 염색표본에서 필라리아자충의 수를 측정하여 정기 출현성을 파악하고자 trigonometric모형을 사용하였다. 모형에 근거하여 계산된 주기성 지수 (periodicity index)는 평균 $57.6\%$ (범위: $25.6-95.5\%$)로 나타났다. 혈액 내 필라리아자충의 수가 최고에 이르는 시점은 21:00 (범위: 20:04-21:29), 최저에 이르는 시점은 09:00 (범위: 08:04-09:29)로 나타났다. 실체로 관찰된 자충의 수와 모형에 의하여 계산된 기대치와의 상관계수는 $6.4-49.2\%$로 자충의 수에 따라 차이를 보였다. 본 연구에 사용된 6두의 실험견 모두 nocturnally sub-periodic 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 연구에서 보고된 혈중 자충의 수가 최대에 도달하는 시간은 동일하였지만 최저에 이르는 시간은 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다 국내 개에서 조사 대상지역에 따른 정기 출현성에 차이가 없는지를 명확히 증명하고 심장사상충의 역동성을 보다 정확하게 이해하기 위해서는 광범위한 조사가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, we shall provide several properties of Dedekind sums with quasi-periodicity Euler functions. In particular, we present a representation of these Dedekind sums in terms of the Eulerian functions and the tangent functions.

In this paper, the existence of periodic positive solution and the attractivity are investigated for the rational recursive sequence $x_{n+1} = (A + ax_{n_k})/(b + x{n-l})$, where A, a and b are real numbers, k and l are nonnegative integer numbers.

Study of terrestrial impact craters is important not only in the field of the solar system formation and evolution but also of the Galactic astronomy. The terrestrial impact cratering record recently has been examined, providing short- and intermediate-term periodicities, such as, ${\sim}26$ Myrs, ${\sim}37$ Myrs. The existence of such a periodicity has an implication in the Galactic dynamics, since the terrestrial impact cratering is usually interpreted as a result of the environmental variation during solar orbiting in the Galactic plane. The aim of this paper is to search for a long-term periodicity with a novel method since no attempt has been made so far in searching a long-term periodicity in this research field in spite of its great importance. We apply the cepstrum analysis method to the terrestrial impact cratering record for the first time. As a result of the analysis we have found noticeable peaks in the Fourier power spectrum appear ing at periods of ${\sim}300$ Myrs and ${\sim}100$ Myrs, which seem in a simple resonance with the revolution period of the Sun around the Galactic center. Finally we briefly discuss its implications and suggest theoretical study be pursued to explain such a long-term periodicity.

$BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate by screen printing method with stacking periodicity. The stacking periodicity of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayer structure was varied from $(BaTi_O_3)_1/(SrTiO_3)_1$ to $(BaTi_O_3)_3/(SrTiO_3)_3$. The total thickness of the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ films was about $120{\mu}m$. There was an interdiffusion at the interface of the $BaTiO_3$ and $SrTiO_3$ layers. The dielectric constant of $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterolayered thick films was increased with decreasing stacking periodicity of the $BaTiO_3/SrTiO_3$. The dielectric constant of the ($(BaTi_O_3)_1/(SrTiO_3)_1$ herterolayered thick films was about 1780.
