The object of this study is to investigate the toxicity of fenvalerate [(RS)-$\alpha$-cyano-3 -phonoxybenzyl-(RS)-2-(4-ch1orophenyl)-3-methylbutyrate] and the effect of carbaryl on the toxicity of fenvalerate. Rats were treated with fenvalerate (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg), carbaryl (50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg) or mixtures of the two compounds (fenvalerate+carbaryl: 50 mg/kg+50 mg/kg, 50 mg/kg+100 mg/kg) by oral administration for 1~3 weeks. Control groups were treated with corn oil. The experimental results were summarized as follows. 1. LD$_{50}$ values of fenvalerate and carbaryl in male rats were 385 mg/kg and 625 mg/kg respectively. When 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg of carbaryl were administratrd, LD$_{50}$values of fenvalerate were 265 mg/kg and 225 mg/kg respectively. 2. Biochemical parameters such as ALT, LDH and glucose in serum were much more increased in the groups treated with mixture than the groups treated with either one of fenvalerate or carbaryl. 3. The groups treated with carbaryl and mixture for 3 weeks, the contents of cytochrome P-450 in the liver were significantly increased. In renal microsomal fractions, however, no significant changes of drug metabolizing enzyme activities were observed. 4. The activities of aniline hydroxylase in hepatic microsomal fractions were increased in the groups treated with fenvalerate and mixture and activity was much more increased in the groups treated with mixture. 5. The activities of ATPase in the groups treated with fenvalerate were decreased than that of groups treated with mixture. TBA values and the activity of glucose-6 -phosphatase in the liver were not significantly changed. 6. In mixture treated groups, the activities of cholinesterase in serum and in the liver were more decreased than those of carbaryl treated groups. The activities of carboxylesterase in serum in the liver were slightly increased in mixture treated groups, but in fenvalerate treated groups, the activities of carboxylesterase were much more increased than those of control groups. 7. As a result of this study, when carbaryl was as the synergist of fenvalerate, carbaryl inhibited the activities of esterases, so the toxicity of fenvalerate was increased.sed.

8 X 10$^{6}$(viable cells/ml) of maximum cell density and 9000(IU/ml) of $\gamma$-IFN production were obtained at 55(ml/hr) of a perfusion rate by cultivating HSF cells using a moving membrane aeration bioreactor. This system proves to be an efficient culture process by maintaning 90% of viable cells during the whole cultivation periods. The metabolic molar quotient of glucose to lactate was 0.81 for overall ranges of glucose consumed while the evolution of ammonia was not linearly related to the consumption of glutamine. Low molar conversion ratio was observed in low consumptions of glutamine and high molar conversion ratio in high comsumptions. It also shows that the glutamolysis plays important role in the steady state conditions by evolving larger quantities of ammonia than lactate. At the above of 50 rpm, which is the optimum agitation speed for this bioreactor, the cell growth was severely affected while the IFN production was less decrea- sed, maintaing 1.5 X 10$^{-3}$(IU/cell/day) specific IFN production rate. The cumulatvie $\gamma$-IFN production was 7.2 X 10$^{8}$(IU) for 70 days of the cultivation, which yields 1 X 10$^{7}$ (IU/day) of IFN production rate. Therefore, a commercial production of $\gamma$-IFN by this culture process can be achievable by maintaining the above IFN productivity in a scaled-up culture system.

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to assess the impact of potential future climate change on the water cycle and soil loss of the Daecheong reservoir watershed. A sensitivity analysis using influence coefficient method was conducted for two selected hydrological input parameters and three selected sediment input parameters to identify the most to the least sensitive parameters. A further detailed sensitivity analysis was performed for the parameters: Manning coefficient for channel (Cn), evaporation (ESCO), and sediment concentration in lateral (LAT_SED), support practice factor (USLA_P). Calibration and verification of SWAT were performed on monthly basis for 1993~2006 and 1977~1991, respectively. The model efficiency index (EI) and coefficient of determination ($R^2$) computed for the monthly comparisons of runoffs were 0.78 and 0.76 for the calibration period, and 0.58 and 0.65 for the verification period. The results showed that the hydrological cycle in the watershed is very sensitive to climate factors. A doubling of atmospheric $CO_2$ concentrations was predicted to result in an average annual flow increase of 27.9% and annual sediment yield increase of 23.3%. Essentially linear impacts were predicted between two precipitation change scenarios of -20, and 20%, which resulted in average annual flow and sediment yield changes at Okcheon of -53.8%, 63.0% and -55.3%, 65.8%, respectively. An average annual flow increase of 46.3% and annual sediment yield increase of 36.4% was estimated for a constant humidity increase 5%. An average annual flow decrease of 9.6% and annual sediment yield increase of 216.4% was estimated for a constant temperature increase $4^{\circ}C$.

We present near-infrared light curves of HBC 722 after its the September 2010 outburst. We have been monitoring its near-infrared light curves since November 2010 with Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute Infrared Camera System (KASINICS). HBC 722 exhibits large changes in optical and near-infrared brightness since its outburst. The J, H, and $K_s$ light curves over about 2.5 years show that in all observed bands HBC 722 progressively became fainter until around April 2011, down to J ~10.7, H ~9.9, $K_s$ ~9.3, but it is getting brighter again. Large scatter in the obtained light curve prevents us from finding whether there is any short timescale variation as reported in other optical observations. The near-infrared color of HBC 722 is becoming bluer since its outburst. The pre-outburst Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of HBC 722 is consistent with that of a slightly reddened Class II YSO with the exception of the extraordinary IR-excess in the far-infrared region.

Advertisements provide consumers with in-formation and knowledge about products and help a society to sustain homogeneity by actively reflecting important characteristics of mass culture. Yet this reflection is a selective and purposeful representation by the party of the fashion manufactures and carries the intention of stimulating and augmenting desire for commodities aiming to perpetuate capitalism. This study understood this selective reflection of mass culture by advertisements as a feature of hegemonic struggle between/fashion business and consumers and defined the values selected by advertisements as ideologies supporting the consumption ideology of capitalism. The purpose of this study was to examine the contents of the ideologies expressed in the clothing advertisements in women's magazines to persuade consumers into consumption. The method of study was mainly qualitative with subsidiary citations from the results of content analysis. The objects of analysis were clothing advertisements in 1996 issues of CeCi and Woman Sense, which were identified as the two most popular women's monthly magazines. The ideologies identified were ideologies concerning (1) Self Identity, (2) Sensibility, (3) Sex Role, (4) Globalism, (5) Youth, (6) Leas-ure and Pleasure. Repeated and insisted as natural and true, there values were proposed to be believed as common senses and studies re-port that values of advertisements are ac-cepted as more readily as they are more unreasonable, and the acts and behaviors expres-sed within advertisements are often imitated in real life situations. Therefore, it is highly probable that these values emphasized within advertisements are enacted in thoughts and behaviors of consumers' real life. Accordingly the author suggests that critical interpretation of advertisements is seriously required to fully understand the commodity ridden post industrial society of today and to lead a subjective life within it.

Triclosan (TCS) is an antimicrobial compound used in consumer products. The purpose of current study was to examine toxicology and risk assessment of TCS based on available data. Acute toxicities of oral, transdermal and inhalation routes were low, and phototoxicity and neurotoxicity were not observed. Topical treatment of TCS to animal caused mild irritation. TCS did not induce reproductive and developmental toxicity in rodents. In addition, genotoxicity was not considered based on in vitro and in vivo tests of TCS. It is not classified as a carcinogen in international authorities such as International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). No-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was determined 12 mg/kg bw/day for TCS, based on haematoxicity and reduction of absolute and relative spleen weights in a 104-week oral toxicity study in rats. Percutaneous absorption rate was set as 14%, which was human skin absorption study reported by National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme (NICNAS) (2009). The systemic exposure dosage (SED) of TCS has been derived by two scenarios depending on the cosmetics usage of Koreans. The first scenario is the combined use of representative cosmetics and oral care products. The second scenario is the combined use of rinse-off products of cleansing, deodorants, coloring products, and oral care products. SEDs have been calculated as 0.14337 mg/kg bw/day for the first scenario and 0.04733 mg/kg bw/day for the second scenario. As a result, margin of safety (MOS) for the first and second scenarios was estimated to 84 and 253.5, respectively. Based on these results, exposure of TCS contained in rinse-off products, deodorants, and coloring products would not pose a significant health risk when it is used up to 0.3%.

Ethylhexyl dimethyl para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is an oily yellow liquid derivative of water-soluble PABA commonly used in sunscreen. Ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA is widely used as an ingredient in many cosmetics at an average concentration of 1.25% (0.5-2.0%) in Korea. Previous studies, including those involving animals, have demonstrated that ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA is toxic to the following four organs: testis, epididymis, spleen, and liver. In addition, experiments using human keratinocytes found that ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA inhibits cell growth and DNA synthesis at low concentrations, and halted the cell cycle of MM96L cells (human melanoma cell line) at the G1 phase. Despite limited clinical data in humans, many studies have confirmed increased mutagenicity of ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA following exposure to sunlight, which suggests that this molecule is likely to contribute to onset of sun-induced cancer despite protecting the skin through absorption of UVB. For risk assessment, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) chosen was 100 mg/kg bw/day in a 4 weeks oral toxicity study. Systemic exposure dosage (SED) was 0.588 mg/kg bw/day for maximum use of ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA in cosmetics. Based on the risk assessment and exposure scenarios conducted in this study, the margin of safety (MOS) was calculated to be 180.18 for a sunscreen containing 8% ethylhexyl dimethyl PABA, which is the maximum level allowed by the relevant domestic authorities.

We carried out simultaneous monitoring observations of five maser lines, H₂O (22 GHz), SiO 𝝊 =1, 2, J =1-0 (43.1, 42.8 GHz), and SiO 𝝊 =1, J=2-1, J =3-2 (86.2, 129.3 GHz), toward the Mira variable star WX Serpentis with the 21-m antennas of the Korean VLBI Network (KVN) in 2009-2021 (~12 years). Most spectra of the H₂O maser are well separated into two parts of two blue- and one redshifted features within ± 10 km s-1 of the stellar velocity. All detected SiO masers are generally concentrated within ± 5 km s-1 of the stellar velocity, and sometimes appear split into two components. Overall, the profiles of SiO and H₂O masers detected in WX Serpentis illustrate typical characteristics of the Mira variable. In addition, flux variations of both SiO and H₂O masers are well correlated with the optical light curve of the central star, showing a phase lag of ~ 0.1 for SiO masers and ~ 0.2 for H₂O maser. This phenomenon is considered to be the direct effect of propagating shock waves generated by the stellar pulsation, because SiO and H₂O masers are sequentially distributed at different positions with respect to the central star. In addition, we analyzed long-term trends and characteristics of maser velocities, maser ratio, and the velocity extents (the full width at zero power; FWZP). We also investigated a spectral energy distribution (SED) ranging from 1.2 to 240 ㎛ obtained using several infrared data: 2MASS, WISE, IRAS, ISO, COBE DIBRE, RAFGL, and AKARI (IRC and FIS). From the IRAS LRS and ISO SWS spectra of this star, we identified 9.7 and 12 ㎛ silicate emission features consistent with the SE6 spectrum model, corresponding to the typical AGB phase.

경사지 논토양에서 밭작물 재배확대를 위한 합리적인 배수개선 방법을 개발하기 위하여 "배수불량"인 경사지 논토양 (경사 7-15%, 지산통)을 대상으로 배수조건에 따라 "매우불량"인 논 2개 필지, "약간불량"인 논 2개 필지의 논둑 아래 기저부에 1열로 명거 (겉도랑 배수), 비닐차단막, 암거 (속도랑 배수), 관다발 등 네 가지 종류의 배수시설을 설치하여 배수개선 방법에 따른 콩의 수분 스트레스 반응 해석을 통한 배수개선 효과를 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 배수시설 설치 후 콩 생육기간 중 지표 하 30 cm를 초과한 일평균 지하수위의 합계 ($SED_{30}$)는 명거배수가 147일로 높게 나타난 반면 암거배수가 31일로 나타났다. 또한 지하수위 30 cm를 초과한 수위의 합 ($SED_{30}$)은 명거배수 처리구가 2,207 mm, 비닐차단막 1,938 mm, 관다발 1,262 mm로 밭작물의 수분 스트레스 지표인 1,000 mm 보다 초과하였으나 암거배수 처리구에서는 444 mm 한계 스트레스 지표보다 낮은 경향을 보였다. 배수방법별 콩의 생육기간 중 수분 스트레스 지표 (SDI)는 명거배수 처리구 355.40, 비닐차단막 271.55, 관다발 171.55로 높은 경향을 보여 과습에 의한 영향을 가장 많이 받은 것으로 나타났으나, 암거배수 처리구에서는 64.75로 배수개선 효과가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 배수개선에 따른 콩 수량은 배수 약간불량지가 배수 매우불량지에 비해 높았으며, 배수 약간불량지에 비해 매우불량지에서 배수방법별 수량변화의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 또한 명거배수 처리구 $1,585kg\;ha^{-1}$에 비해 암거배수 $2,086kg\;ha^{-1}$로 32%, 비닐차단막 $1,633kg\;ha^{-1}$로 3%, 관다발 처리구 $1,922kg\;ha^{-1}$로 21% 증수되었으며, 암거배수처리구가 다른 배수방법에 비해 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다. 따라서 "배수불량"인 경사지 논에서는 논둑 밑 1열의 암거배수시설을 설치로 논에서 밭작물의 안정적인 생산과 농지자원의 이용전환 즉 논을 밭으로 이용해야 하는 범용농지 기반조성에 조성을 위한 저비용의 실용적인 배수개선방법개발에 기여할 것으로 본다.

지구 자기장의 고영년변화(PSV)를 이용하면 시대 미상의 고고학적 유적에 대한 연대측정이 가능하며, 이를 고고지자기 연대측정 기법이라 한다. 고고지자기 연대측정을 위해서는 비쌍극자기장을 반영하는 그 지역의 PSV 모델이 필요하다. 그동안 국내에서는 자료의 부족으로 시험적 한반도 영년변화 곡선(t-KPSV)을 사용하였으나, 이는 서남 일본의 영년변화(JPSV)로부터 수학적인 계산을 사용한 곡선이므로, 비쌍극자기장의 영향을 고려하지 못하여 신뢰성이 부족하다. 이번 연구는 그동안 한반도에서 수행된 고고지자기학적 연구 결과와 이미 발표되어 신뢰할 수 있는 연구 자료를 바탕으로 한반도 삼국 시대(원삼국 시대 포함)에 해당하는 AD 1~600년 동안의 PSV를 분석하여 곡선을 제시하였다. 제시된 PSV 곡선은 전 지구적 지자기 예측 모델과 비교 분석하였으며, 시험적 한반도 고영년변화(t-KPSV) 곡선과도 비교하였다. 선별된 고고지자기 방향 자료는 시료 수(N) ≥ 6개와 높은 신뢰도를 보이는 통계자료(𝛼₉₅ ≤ 7.8°, k ≥ 57.8)를 보였으며, 전국의 16개 지역에서 총 49개의 자료로 구성된다. 수집한 자료의 고고학적 연대는 방사성 탄소연대측정 결과와 고고학적 편년을 사용하였고, 연대 오차는 ±200년 이하의 기준으로 선별하였다. 선별된 자료들은 편각 341.7~20.1°, 복각 43.5~60.3°의 범위에 분포하며, 이동창문기법(moving window method)을 사용하여 과거 600년간 한반도 PSV 곡선인 KPSV0.6k를 제시하였다. 제시된 모델은 기존의 t-KPSV 곡선과 차이를 보이며, 전 지구적 지자기 모델(ARCH3K.1, CALS3K.4, SED3K.1)에 대비한 결과, 모델들과 방향의 변화 경향이 일치하였으며, 특히 ARCH3K.1 모델이 본 연구에서 제시한 KPSV0.6k와 가장 잘 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 한국과 일본이 지리적으로는 근접해 있으나 비쌍극자기장 영향이 매우 다르게 나타나며, 따라서 이러한 영향이 고려된 전 지구적 모델이 한반도의 영년변화를 보다 잘 나타낼 수 있는 것으로 해석된다. 따라서 고고지자기 연대측정을 위해서 독자적 영년변화 곡선 구축이 필요하며, 보다 정교한 전 지구적 모델을 위해 보다 많은 신뢰성 높은 한반도의 고고지자기 자료 확보가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 실제 고고학적 유적지를 대상으로 실시한 고고지자기 연대측정 결과, KPSV0.6k와 ARCH3K.1 모델에선 고고학적 편년과 일치하는 연대를 제시하였다.
