Hydrographic data retrieved in the southwestern part of the East Sea in 1992-1993 were analyzed to investigate the probability of southward intrusion of the East Sea Intermediate Water (ESIW) into the Ulleung Basin. The ESIW showed the ranges of 1 to 4$^{\circ}$C in potential temperature, 33.80-34.06 psu in salinity, and 26.9-27.3 kg/m$^3$ in potential density (${\sigma}$$_{\theta}$). The mean depth occupied by the ESIW was 170 m, where the characteristic values of the above three were 2.64$^{\circ}$C , 34.02 psu, and 27.13 kg/m$^3$, respectively. One of the most prominent features of the ESIW was that its salinity changed not only seasonally but also interannually. It was low in summer and high in winter. The salinity within the isopycnal layer of 26.9-27.3 kg/m$^3$ was closely related with the potential vorticity (${\rho}$$_{\theta}^{-1}$ f ${\varrho}$${\rho}_{\theta}$/${\varrho}$z), being in direct proportion to the salinity. This implies that the low-salinity water was thicker than the high-salinity water. The flow path of the ESIW was investigated by tracking the low-salinity or the low-potential vorticity water and by referring to acceleration potential. Careful analysis of the flow path proves that the ESIW intrudes from the north between the Korean coast and Ulleung Island into the Ulleung Basin in summer. Existence of the high-potential vorticity water in the Ulleung Basin is associated with the interruption of the inflow of low-salinity water.

An in vitro study was conducted to determine the effects of defaunation (removal of protozoa) and forage sources (rice straw, ryegrass and tall fescue) on ruminal fermentation characteristics, methane ($CH_4$) production and degradation by rumen microbes. Sodium lauryl sulfate, as a defaunation reagent, was added into the mixed culture solution to remove ruminal protozoa at a concentration of 0.375 mg/ml. Pure cellulose (0.64 g, Sigma, C8002) and three forage sources were incubated in the bottle of culture solution of mixed rumen microbes (faunation) or defaunation for up to 24 h. The concentration of ammonia-N was high under condition of defaunation compared to that from faunation in all incubations (p<0.001). Total VFA concentration was increased at 3, 6 and 12 h (p<0.05~p<0.01) but was decreased at 24 h incubation (p<0.001) under condition of defaunation. Defaunation decreased acetate (p<0.001) and butyrate (p<0.001) proportions at 6, 12 and 24 h incubation times, but increased propionate (p<0.001) proportion at all incubation times for forages. Effective degradability of dry matter was decreased by defaunation (p<0.001). Defaunation not only decreased total gas (p<0.001) and $CO_2$ (p<0.01~0.001) production at 12 and 24 h incubations, but reduced $CH_4$ production (p<0.001) at all incubation times for all forages. The $CH_4$ production, regardless of defaunation, in order of forage sources were rice straw > tall fescue > ryegrass > cellulose (p<0.001) up to 24 h incubation.

Objective: These experiments were conducted to investigate the optimal expose length of propidium iodide (PI) and bisbenzimide on differential staining of mouse blastocysts. Materials and methods: A total 964 blastocysts (early${\sim}$hatched) was exposed to PI (n=831) (group I: $\leq$ 10; II: $11{\sim}15$; III: $16{\sim}20$; IV: $\geq$21 sec) and bisbenzimide (n=133) (group A: $\leq$1; B: $1{\sim}$3; C: $\geq$ 4 hr) in several periods for differential staining. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test with SigmaPlot-2001. P-values < 0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. Results: In case of PI exposure, differential staining rates were significantly higher (p<0.05) in group I (89.8%) than in any others (group II: 77.6%; III: 29.6%; IV: 22.2%) and higher (p<0.05) in group II than in group III and IV. In case of bisbenzimide exposure, differential staining rates were not statistically differences in three groups (group A: 97.4%; B: 87.8%; C: 93.3%). Conclusion: The differential staining rates of mouse blastocysts are not affected by the exposure length of bisbenzimide. However, blastocysts were exposed to PI with period of shorter than 15 sec show best outcomes of differential staining rates.

The single-crystal structure of fully dehydrated partially $Li^+$-exchanged zeolite Y, ${\mid}Li_{50}Na_{25}{\mid}[Si_{117}Al_{75}O_{384}]$-FAU, was determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group $Fd\bar{3}m$ at 100(1) K. Ion exchange was accomplished by flowing stream of 0.1 M aqueous $LiNO_3$ for 2 days at 293 K, followed by vacuum dehydration at 623 K and $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. The structure was refined using all intensities to the final error indices (using only the 801 reflections with ($F_o$ > $4{\sigma}(F_o)$) $R_1/R_2=0.043/0.140$. The 50 $Li^+$ ions per unit cell are found at three different crystallographic sites. The 19 $Li^+$ ions occupy at site I' in the sodalite cavity: the $Li^+$ ions are recessed 0.30 ${\AA}$ into the sodalite cavity from their 3-oxygens plane (Li-O = 1.926(5) ${\AA}$ and $O-Li-O=117.7(3)^{\circ}$). The 20 $Li^+$ ions are found at site II in the supercage, being recessed 0.23 ${\AA}$ into the supercage (Li-O = 2.038(5) ${\AA}$ and $O-Li-O=118.7(3)^{\circ}$). Site III' positions are occupied by 11 $Li^+$ ions: these $Li^+$ ions bind strongly to one oxygen atom (Li-O = 2.00(8) ${\AA}$). About 25 $Na^+$ ions per unit cell are found at four different crystallographic sites: 4 $Na^+$ ions are at site I, 5 at site I', 12 at site II, and the remaining 4 at site III'.

Galaxies can be "pre-processed" in the low-density outskirts by ambient medium in the filaments or tidal interactions with other galaxies while falling into the cluster. In order to probe how early on and by which mechanisms galaxies can be affected before they enter high-density cluster environments, we are carrying out an atomic hydrogen ($H\small{I}$) imaging study of a sample of galaxies selected from three filamentary structures around the Virgo cluster. Our sample consists of 14 late-type galaxies, which are potentially interacting with their surroundings. The $H\small{I}$ observations have been done using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, and the Jansky Very Large Array with column density sensitivity of ${\approx}3-5{\times}10^{19}cm^{-2}$ in $3{\sigma}$ per channel, which is low enough to detect faint $H\small{I}$ features in the outer disks of galaxies. In this work, we present the Hi data of two galaxies that were observed with GMRT. We examine the $H\small{I}$ morphology and kinematics to find the evidence for gas-gas and/or tidal interactions, and discuss which mechanism(s) could be responsible for pre-processing in these cases.

통상적인 근관형성 과정에서 근관형태의 직선화 경향을 발견할 수 있으며, 그 결과 만곡이 심한 근관에서 이상적인 근관형태를 얻기가 어렵다. 이를 극복하기 위한 많은 기구들과 근관 성형법들이 개선되고 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 최근에 개발된 직사각형의 단면을 가지는 stainless steel file인 RT file과 Flex-R file, K-file을 이용하여 만곡근관 형성 후 최종 근관형태를 비교하여 각 file을 평가하고자 한다. 본 실험은 Bramante등의 방법을 변형하여 술 전의 근관형태와 술 후의 근관형태를 비교하였다. Schneider의 방법을 변형하여 3차원적 만곡을 계산하여 12도에서 36도 이내에 만곡도를 가진 근관을 선택하였다. 49개의 발거된 상악대구치 협측근관이나 하악대구치 근심근관을 3개의 군으로 나누고 레진과 플라스틱으로 제작된 mold에 투명한 교정용 레진으로 매몰하였다. 근첨에서 2.5, 5, 8mm지점에서 절단하여 각 mold에서 재조립한 후 다음과 같이 근관형성을 시행하였다. 제 1군은 SS K-file을 이용하여 step-back 방법 ; 제 2군은 Flex-R file을 이용하여 balanced force 방법 ; 제 3군은 RT file을 이용하여 step-back 방법으로 근관 형성하였다. 술 전과 술 후에 각 시편들을 체현미경으로 사진촬영하여 근관 중심 위치 이동률, 근관형성으로 삭제된 상아질양, 근관형성 후 모양을 Sigma scan/ image software program으로 계산하고 One way ANOVA로 통계적 유의성을 검증하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. RT file이 치근단에서 K-file보다 유의성 있게 근관의 중심을 유지하는 것으로 보였다. 치아 중앙부에서는 RT file과 Flex-R file이 K-file에 대해 유의성 있게 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 2. 근관형성 후 삭제된 상아질양에서는 치근단에서 RT file이 적게 나왔으나 유의성은 없었다. 3. 근관형성 후 절단면 모양은 원형, 타원형, 불규칙한 형태들이 다양하게 나타났고 각 군간에 유의성 있는 차이는 없었다.

Two crystal structures of dehydrated $Ag_{3.3}Ca_{4.35}-A ({\alpha} = 12.256(2){\AA})$ and of its ethylene sorption complex (${\alpha} = 12.259(2){\AA}$) have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group Pm3m at 21(l)$^{\circ}$C. Both crystals were dehydrated at 360$^{\circ}$C and $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days and one crystal was treated with 200 Torr of ethylene at 24(2)$^{\circ}$C. The structures were refined to final error indices, $R_1$=O.065 and $R_2$ = 0.088 with 202 reflections and $R_1$=0.049 and $R_2$ = 0.044 with 259 reflections, respectively, for which I>3${\sigma}$(I). In these structures, all Ag$^+$ and Ca$^{2+}$ ions are located on two and three different threefold axes associated with 6-ring oxygens, respectively. In $Ag_{3.3}Ca_{4.35}-A{\cdot}6.65\;C_2H_4,\;3.3\;Ag^+\;and\;3.35\;Ca^{2+}$ ions are recessed 1.09 ${\AA}$ and 0.21 ${\AA}$, respectively, into the large cavity from the (111) plane at O(3). Each Ag$^+$ and Ca$^{2+}$ ion in the large cavity forms a complex with one $C_2H_4$$^{2+}$ ions and ethylene molecules are longer than those between Ag$^+$ ions and ethylene molecules.

Two crystal structures of ethylene (a= 12.272(2) ${\AA}$) and acetylene (a = 12.245(2) ${\AA}$) sorption complexes of dehydrated fully $Ca^{2+}$-exchanged zeolite A have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group, Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C$. Their complexes were prepared by dehydration at $360^{\circ}C$ and $2{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days, followed by exposure to 200 Torr of ethylene gas and 120 Torr of acetylene gas both at $24^{\circ}C$, respectively. The structures were refined to final R (weighted) indices of 0.062 with 209 reflections and 0.098 with 171 reflections, respectively, for which I > 3${\sigma}$(I). The structures indicate that all six $Ca^{2+}$ ions in the unit cell are associated with 6-oxygen ring of the aluminosilicate framework. Four of these extend somewhat into the large cavity where each is coordinated to three framework oxide ions and an ethylene molecule and/or an acetylene molecule. The carbon to carbon distance in ethylene sorption structure is 1.48(7) ${\AA}$ and that in acetylene sorption structure 1.25(8) ${\AA}$. The distances between $Ca^{2+}$ ion and carbon atom are 2.87(5) ${\AA}$ in ethylene sorption structure and 2.95(7) ${\AA}$ in acetylene sorption structure. These bonds are relatively weak and probably formed by the electrostatic attractions between the bivalent $Ca^{2+}$ ions and the polarizable ${\pi}$-electron density of the ethylene and/or acetylene molecule.

Two crystal structures of dehydrated $Sr^{2+}\;and\;Tl^+$ exchanged zeolite A, $Sr_xTl_{12-2x}-A$ (x = 1.6 and 5.45), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Their structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C.$ Both crystals were ion exchanged in flowing streams of mixed $Sr(NO_3)_2\;and\;TlNO_3$ aqueous solution, followed by dehydration at $360^{\circ}C\; and\; 2${\times}$10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. Full-matrix least-squares refinements of the dehydrated $Sr_{1.6}Tl_{8.8}-A (a = 12.214(2){\AA})\; and\;Sr_{5.45}Tl{1.1}-A (a=12.291(2){\AA})$ have converged to final error indices, $R_1=0.055\; and\;R_2=0.061$ with 286 reflections, and R1 = 0.072 and R2 = 0.090 with 217 reflections, respectively, for which$\;I\;{>}\;3{\sigma}(I)$. In both structures, all Sr(II) ions are coordinated by three framework oxygens; Sr(II) to O(3) distances are $2.21(2){\AA}\;for\;Sr_{1.6}Tl_{8.8}-A \;and\;2.31(1){\AA} \;for\;Sr_{5.45}Tl_{1.1}-A,$and Tl(I) to O(3) distances are $2.657(6){\AA}\;for\;Sr_{1.6}Tl_{8.8}-A\;and\;2.845(8){\AA}\;for\;Sr_{5.45}Tl_{1.1}-A,$ respectively. In each structure, the angle subtended at Sr(II), O(3)-Sr(II)-O(3) is $118.7(4)^{\circ}\;for\; Sr_{1.6}Tl_{8.8}-A \;and\;120.0(4)^{\circ}\;for\;Sr_{5.45}Tl_{1.1}-A.\;Sr^{2+}$ ions prefer to 6-ring sites and $Tl^+$ ions to 8-ring sites when total number of ions per unit cell is more than 8.
