The invasion of Ambrosia artemisiifolia in the Ukrainian Carpathians Mts. and the Transcarpathian Plain in Central Europe was reconstructed on the basis of floristic records. The first spontaneous occurrence was dated from the beginning of the 1940s. Within the next 55 year period, the distributional spread speed of the species was of 67.6 $km^2/y$ (by the average data). The occupied area by A. artemisiifolia in the range of the studied areas is about $3716.5km^2$ now. The features of behavior of the invader and the habitat preference were determined. The frequency of occurrence by sociologic-ecological classification was carried out. The generalized model of correlations among the gravitation, the active temperature sum and the disturbance gradients and the frequency of occurrence of the species was presented. The scheme of the invasion stages of A. artemisiifolia is reflected in the population status changes of the species during the areal dynamics.

There have been many experimental and observational evidences which indicate the predator response to prey density needs not always monotone increasing as in the classical predator-prey models in population dynamics. Holling type functional response depicts situations in which sufficiently large number of the prey species increases their ability to defend or disguise themselves from the predator. In this paper we investigated the stability and instability property for a Holling type predator-prey system of a generalized form. Hopf type bifurcation properties of the non-diffusive system and the diffusion effects on instability and bifurcation values are studied.

The electronic structures of twenty-seven isomers of a macrocyclic fulleropyrrolidine are investigated with semi-empirical extended Huckel (EH) molecular orbital method. The geometry of each isomer is determined by the molecular mechanics and dynamics methods based on UFF (universal force field) empirical force field. The calculated geometries, such as the carbon-carbon distances of the fullerene moiety, are in good agreement with those of related fullerene derivatives. The EH calculation shows that the formation of macrocyclic pyrrolidine ring on fullerene moiety results in the reduction of the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. From the graphical analysis of the DOS (density of states), PDOS (projected DOS), and MOOP (molecular orbital overlap population) curves, we can find that this reduction is due to splitting of the HOMO of fullerene moiety, which results from the symmetry-breaking and the distortion of the buckminsterfullerene framework from its ideal icosahedral structure.

Hepatic macrophages are key immune cells associated with the broad ranges of liver diseases including steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis. Hepatic macrophages interact with other immune cells and orchestrate hepatic immune circumstances. Recently, the heterogenous populations of hepatic macrophages have been discovered termed residential Kupffer cells and monocyte-derived macrophages, and identified their distinct population dynamics during the progression of various liver diseases. Liver injury lead to Kupffer cells activation with induction of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which triggers recruitment of inflammatory monocyte-derived macrophages. To understand liver pathology, the functions of different subtypes of liver macrophages should be regarded with different perspectives. In this review, we summarize recent advances in the roles of hepatic macrophages under liver damages and suggest hepatic macrophages as promising therapeutic targets for treating liver diseases.

This study aims to establish and analyze a mathematical model for the transmission dynamics of male adolescent smoking and to determine an optimal control strategy to reduce male adolescent smoking. We consider three groups in the population: smokers, non-smokers, and temporary nonsmokers. In our model to which optimal control theory was applied, the number of smokers decreased sharply and the number of non-smokers increased significantly. Our simulation results under various control scenarios reveal that integrated control measures(such as prevention, education, and treatment) may be necessary to reduce the growth rate of adolescent smoking. Moreover, we concluded that efforts to encourage current smokers and temporary quitters to quit should be sustained longer than efforts to reduce the rate at which nonsmokers become smokers through smoking prevention education.

A study on seasonal characteristics of phytoplankton dynamics and environmental factors was carried out at four stations including Mara-do and U-do located in the western and eastern coast of Jeju Island in southern Korea from April 2003 to March 2004. Out of 101 phytoplankton species identified, 84 belong to Bacillariophyceae, 9 Dinophyceae, 6 phytoflagellates and 2 coccolithophorids, and the highest value of species diversity was observed in April. Phytoplankton was more abundant at the western coast than at the eastern coast from March to September and its highest abundance was 49.24 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cells L$^{-1}$ at Mara-do in July. The pennate diatoms were more abundant at the western coast than at the eastern coast with the highest abundance of 38.75 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ cells L$^{-1}$ at Mara-do in July, and during this period Nitzschia longissima contributed 68.5% of the total phytoplankton abundance. Naviculaceae was more abundant at Gosan (western coast) in November when Stauroneis membranacea represented 80.1% of the abundance. Leptocylindrus dances contributed 49.4% of the abundance at U-do in November. Dinophyceae was more abundant at U-do in August. Water temperature and pH fluctuated from 11.7${^{\circ}C}$ to 27.1${^{\circ}C}$ and from 7.31 to 8.70, respectively. Water temperature of Mara-do was about 1-2${^{\circ}C}$ higher than the other stations. Salinity varied from 30.4 to 35.0 psu with the minimum in rainy season and the maximum at the end of winter. The concentration of NH$_4$-N, NO$_3$-N, NO$_2$-N, PO$_4$-P and SiO$_2$-Si ranged 0.07-6.79, 1.0-62.0, 1.0-8.0, 1.0-7.0 and 7.0-191.0 $\mu$g-at L$^{-1}$, respectively. Chlorophyll a concentrations varied from 0.10 to 1.17 $\mu$g L$^{-1}$. NH$_4$-N concentrations were high at U-do from May to December, and at Mara-do from January to February. The high concentrations of NO$_3$-N were found at Mara-do from June to September and at U-do from January to May. The effects of various physicochemical parameters on the seasonal distribution and succession of phytoplankton population suggest that there is a classical pattern of phytoplankton dynamics in Jeju coastal waters.

수생 정수식물인 매자기(Scirpus fluviatilis (Torr.) A. Gray)의 화력학과 개체군 변화를 규명하여 연안대식생의 복원에 필요한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 경남 창녕군 우포늪에서 2006년 3월부터 2006년 11월까지 매자기의 계절에 따른 생장 특성 및 부위별 생물량을 조사하고 화분 재배 실험을 병행하여 실시하였다. 매자기는 우포늪의 우포, 목포, 사지포, 쪽지벌, 토평천 상.하류 등에 고루 분포하는데, 특히 목포의 밀도가 높았다. 매자기의 생육이 왕성한 시기 중 5월 28일 조사에서 매자기의 분포 수심은 9~49cm 범위였는데, shoot 밀도는 수심 26~49cm에서 높았고, $m^2$당 shoot 밀도는 평균 119이며, 초장은 평균 122.3cm이었다. 지하부의 괴경 밀도는 104.5개/$0.25m^2$으로 생존 괴경은 84.2%이고 사망 괴경은 15.8%였다. 생존 괴경의 평균 생중량은 3.0g인데, 1~4g의 괴경이 57.9%로 가장 많았다. 생존 괴경 중 이미 발아한 괴경은 43.8%였으며, 새싹이 1개(29.0%)인 것이 가장 많았고, 7~9g 및 10g 이상의 괴경에서 발아율이 높았다. 재배 실험에서는 8월초에 shoot 밀도가 발아괴경과 휴면 괴경에서 각각 13.5 및 8.7로 최대치를 나타내었다. 현지 조사에서는 매자기의 shoot 밀도가 태풍 피해 이전에는 대체로 비슷한 수준을 유지하다가 태풍 '에위니아(Ewiniar)'로 인한 침수 후 모두 고사하였고 11월에 급격히 증가하였다. 초장은 재배 실험에서 100~116cm 및 현지 조사에서 60~170cm까지 생장하였다. 생육기 말에 화분에서 재배한 매자기의 생물량 분배 비율은 발아 괴경을 식재한 화분에서 줄기 8.9%, 잎 6.6%, 화서 0%, 지하부 84.5% 등이고, 휴면 괴경을 식재한 화분에서는 줄기 7.1%, 잎 7.1%, 화서 0%, 지하부 85.8% 등으로서 모두 지하부의 비율이 높았다. 또한 생육기 말에 화분 속의 괴경 수가 1.4~4.1배 증가한 것으로 보아 매자기는 영양생식으로 주로 번식하는 것으로 사료된다.
