  • Even in an era where 8-meter class telescopes are common, small telescopes are considered very valuable research facilities since they are available for rapid follow-up or long term monitoring observations. To maximize the usefulness of small telescopes in Korea, we established the SomangNet, a network of 0.4-1.0 m class optical telescopes operated by Korean institutions, in 2020. Here, we give an overview of the project, describing the current participating telescopes, its scientific scope and operation mode, and the prospects for future activities. SomangNet currently includes 10 telescopes that are located in Australia, USA, and Chile as well as in Korea. The operation of many of these telescopes currently relies on operators, and we plan to upgrade them for remote or robotic operation. The latest SomangNet science projects include monitoring and follow-up observational studies of galaxies, supernovae, active galactic nuclei, symbiotic stars, solar system objects, neutrino/gravitational-wave sources, and exoplanets.

  • Silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) is among the most economically important freshwater fish species in Thailand. It ranks fourth in economic value and third in production weight for fisheries and culture in Thailand. An XX/XY sex-determination system based on gynogenesis was previously reported for this fish. In this study, the molecular basis underlying the sex-determination system was further investigated. Genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism data were generated for 32 captive-bred silver barb individuals, previously scored by phenotypic sex, to identify sex-linked regions associated with sex determination. Sixty-three male-linked loci, indicating putative XY chromosomes, were identified. Male-specific loci were not observed, which indicates that the putative Y chromosome is young and the sex determination region is cryptic. A homology search revealed that most male-linked loci were homologous to the Mariner/Tc1 and Gypsy transposable elements and are probably the remnants of an initial accumulation of repeats on the Y chromosome from the early stages of sex chromosome differentiation. This research provides convincing insights into the mechanism of sex determination and reveals the potential sex determination regions in silver barb. The study provides the basic data necessary for increasing the commercial value of silver barbs through genetic improvements.

  • The secondary electron emission coefficient ${\gamma}$ of MgO single crystals according to the gas mixture ratio of Xe to Ne have been investigated by ${\gamma}-focused$ ion beam system. It is found that the MgO single crystals of (111) crystallinity has the highest ${\gamma}$ from 0.09(0.03) up to 0.16(0.04), while from 0.07(0.02) to 0.15(0.03) for (200) and from 0.06(0.01) to 0.13(0.02) for (220) crystallinity for operating Ne (Xe) ions ranging from 50eV to 200eV throughout this experiment. And it is found that the ${\gamma}$ ranged from 0.03 up to 0.06 for Ne-Xe mixtures are much smaller than those of 0.09 up to 0.16 for pure Ne ions under accelerating voltage ranged from 50V to 200V.

  • The secondary electron emission coefficient(${\gamma}$) of vacuum annealed MgO films has been investigated by ${\gamma}-focused$ ion beam(${\gamma}-FIB$) system. The vacuum annealed MgO films have been found to have higher ${\gamma}$ values from 0.053 up to 0.121 than those for as-deposited MgO films from 0.026 up to 0.062 for $Ne^+$ ion energies ranged from 50eV to 200eV. Also it is found that ${\gamma}$ for air hold of vacuum annealed MgO layers for 24-hours is similar to that for vacuum annealed MgO films without any air-hold.

  • Eight compounds were isolated from the MeOH extracts of Erythrina senegalensis for HIV-1 protease inhibitors. Their structures were elucidated as eight isoflavonoids by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds showed dose dependent inhibitory activities on HIV-l protease with $IC_{50}$ values from 0.5 to 30.0 ${\mu}$M. (omitted)
