Meridians are often defined as passway of Ki and Blood or something that can control funtions of the body. It is true but I think meridians have something more than that. Meridians are not just passway of Ki and Blood, rather they receive Ki from outside and transform it into Essence-Ki(精氣). If we draw a line in a body, we have Chang-Pu inside and meridians outside. Chang-Pu whim is inside our body hold Essence-Ki and manipulate it. These Chang-Pu also have variation of Ki accumulation-Tai-Yang, Soyang, T'ae$\breve{u}$m, Soum. Nevertheless, their gradients are not great so Ki flow among them are not great either. If there are much Ki flow in our body there will be much Ki consumption resulting in exhaustion of Essence-Ki, which is very hard to acquire. Therefore Chang-Pu keeps less gradient by not moving Ki a lot to preserve Essence-Ki. Chang-Pu, inside, are suitable for storing Ki while meridians, outside, are for producing Ki. Meridinas have great difference in Ki accumulation so there are great flow of Ki. This nature is suitable for producing Ki. For example, roots and limbs of a tree don't have much gradient in Ki. They are concentrated and their shape are not very distinct. On the other hand, leaves are wide and it's easy to tell front from back. It means their Ki gradient is great and their Ki flow is also great. Therefore they suitable for producing Ki. Just like this, meridians in our body are suitable for producing Ki. Areas that meridians cover are much wider than that of Chang-Pu. Four limbs and surface of our body are very distinctive. Ulnar side is high in Ki accumulation but is small in volume so it's better to store Ki there. Radial side is low in Ki accumulation but big in volume so it's better to receive and consume Ki there. Meridians are deeply involved in producing and storing Ki.

The cysts of Sarcocystis grueneri were detected and characterized from the cardiac muscles of the Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus). Of the 38 heart muscle samples examined by light microscopy, 10 were found infected with the cysts of Sarcocystis sp. The cysts appeared oval to spherical shape and measured $110-380{\mu}m$ in length and $90-170{\mu}m$ in width. A phylogenetic tree of the 18S rRNA sequences (1.5 kb) revealed a close relationship of the infected cysts to genus Sarcocystis. The 18S rRNA sequence of the infected cysts showed 100% identity to S. grueneri and 97% to S. capracanis. Here, we first report the S. grueneri infections in the Korean water deer.

This study was carried out to develop a self-propelled type explosive subsoiler for improving the root zone soil conditions in orchard and other forest fields. Prototype was designed to be able to inject air and other soil improving material such as lime into soil at the same time, and thus improve the air permeability and drainage of orchard soils to promote the root growth of tree for high quality fruit production. Soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler is composed of air hammer, penetration rob and air injection nozzle. To support the soil penetration device of explosive subsoiler to penetrate vertically, modified Scott-Russel mechanism was used. Timing control device for simultaneous injection of soil improving material with air was attached to the out side wall of air cylinder and as the cylinder move, the soil improving material was injected into soil at the same time. Turning radius of prototype was 2.2-2.3 m with good mobility in sloped land. It took approximately 1 minute for lime injection system to reach the optimum pressure of 9.9 kg/$cm^2$, average 10-20 seconds were required to rupture soil with the depth of 50 cm and 2-3 seconds were required for explosion, so all in all about 1 minute and 20 seconds were required for one cycle of explosion. Maximum soil rupture depth and diameter were 50 cm and 3-4 m respectively depending on the soil type and soil moisture content. For final design of explosive subsoiler inclination angle of lime hopper was increased from 60 degree to 70 degree and the shape of hopper was changed from rectangular cone to circular cone to solve the clogging problem of lime at out let. Agitating system operated by compressed air was attached to the metering device of the prototype, thus more than 90 cc of lime was discharged per cycle from metering device without clogging problems.

This study aims to categorize age groups for shoes manufacturing including shoes size and boot tree development for Koreans. In order to carry out the research, the characteristics of different parts of foot in relation to size are analyzed according to age and sex, making use of human body measurement database. As a result of statistical analysis, it was found that the measurement items such as foot length, metatarsal tibiale, foot breadth and instep circumference of a person reached the range of standard deviation and average numerical figures of an adult group (18-24) from the age of 14 in men's case, and from 12 for women's case, which indicates the time of completion of their foot growth. Based on these findings where males of 14 years old and females of 12 are within similar measurement range to adults, it is necessary to categorize the age groups for shoe sizing system into the following four groups: males 13 years old or under, males 14 years old or over, females 11 years or under, and females 12 years or over. The proportional measurement produced by dividing each measurement item of foot parts by foot length was compared in an independent samples t-test, and there were meaningful differences according to different foot shapes of the two age groups of males 13 or under - males 14 or over, and females 11 or under - females 12 or over. Also, the independent samples t-test for the age groups of males 13 or under - females 11 or under, and males 14 or over - female 12 or over, showed similar meaningful differences, which indicates the differences in foot shapes of male and female during the period of growth.

Since July 2005, survey of chestnut ink disease was carried out in chestnut stands located at southern parts of Korea. Dead chestnut trees showing inky ooze on necrotic trunks were found in two different locations. In order to isolate and identify the causal fungus, infected tissues and soil samples around dead or dying trees were collected and placed on Phytophthora-selective medium. Rhododendron and chestnut tree leaves were used as a bait to isolate the fungus from soil samples by attracting zoospores in soil suspensions. On V-8 culture medium, the isolates produced homothallic oogonia with protuberances ($34.0-46.2{\times}21.9-26.7{\mu}m$) abundantly, but did not produced sporangia. Mass production of sporangia was possible by immersing agar plugs with actively growing mycelium in the creek water at $18^{\circ}C$ for 3 days. Sporangia were papillate, and ovoid to obpyriform ($17.0-38.9{\times}14.6-29.2{\mu}m$) in shape. Comparison of the ITS sequences revealed that the isolates had 100% identity to the P. katsurae isolates from Japan and New Zealand and 99.6% identity to other P. katsurae isolates. All of the examined isolates from Korea were completely identical to each other in ITS sequence. Numerous sporangia were formed in filtered as well as unfiltered creek water, but no sporangia formed in sterilized distilled water. Light induced sporangia formation, but has no influence on oospore formation. Amendments of ${\beta}$-sitosterol in culture media have no significant effect on mycelial growth but significantly stimulate oospore and sporangia formation.

2007년 전라남도 여수시 남면 안도리에서 발견된 국내 미기록종 해오말은 지리적으로 열대부터 아열대까지 넓게 분포하는 식물로서 열매를 만든다. 잎의 모양은 계란형에 가깝고, 입꼭지는 견고하고 잎을 지지하고 있다. 뿌리는 불규칙적으로 뻗어있고, 뿌리 사이로 꽃이 형성되어 있다. 잎맥은 잎의 가장자리와 공간을 유지하고 있다. ITS1과 ITS2 부위은 한국산과 일본산 해오말은 100% 동일한 염기서열을 나타내고 있으나, 5.8S에서 한국산 해오말은 202 bp에서 206 bp까지 4개의 염기가 삽입된 것이 보였다. ITS 부위에 대한 한국산 해오말은 일본산과 동일한 유전적 clade을 나타내었으나, 필리핀, 호주, 베트남, 말레이시아산 해오말과는 유전적 분리를 보였다. 따라서 한국산 해오말은 일본에서 gene flow로 된 것으로 추정되며, 아열대성인 해오말이 우리나라 연안에 나타난 것은 기후변동에 의한 수온상승과도 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 보인다.

Two hypotrich ciliates, Australocirrus shii (Shi et al., 1997) Kumar & Foissner, 2015 and Afrokeronopsis aurea (Foissner & Stoeck, 2008) Foissner et al., 2010 isolated from freshwater habitats in Korea and were studied based on the specimens from live and after protargol impregnation. Australocirrus shii is redescribed based on morphology and 18S rRNA gene sequence, whereas Af. aurea is the first record for Korea. Main morphological features of the Korean population of Au. shii are as following: body size $100-200{\times}40-80{\mu}m$ in vivo; elongate to ellipsoidal or slightly elongate obovate, dorsoventrally flattened; transverse cirri arranged in (3+2) pattern, anterior pretransverse ventral cirrus distantly anterior of the first transverse cirrus; eight or nine dorsal kineties; and three caudal cirri. Main morphological features of the Korean population of Af. aurea are as following: body size $230-375{\times}70-145{\mu}m$ in vivo; shape elongate obovate or ellipsoidal, widest at the mid-body; undulating membranes in Australocirrus pattern with a buccal depression; and three caudal cirri. The Korean population of A. shii is similar in morphology with previous descriptions except for the presence of indentation at the posterior end in the Korean population. The Korean population of A. aurea is slightly shorter than the South African population and has slightly less marginal and mid-ventral cirri. The phylogenetic analysis of present two Korean hypotrichs and relevant species based on 18S rRNA gene sequences generated almost similar tree topologies compared with previous studies.
