It is important to determine the action spectrum of UV-B radiation contained in the sunlight to estimate the risk of skin cancer. We have investigated action spectra for induction of apoptosis and reproductive cell death in L5178Y cells using the Okazaki Large Spectrograph at NIBB. L5178Y cells were exposed to light at different wavelengths in UV-B or UV-A region. Frequencies of apoptosis induction and reproductive cell death were determined by counting cells with chromatin condensation, and by the colony formation assay, respectively. The measured sensitivity spectra for the two end-points were in very good agreement. Sensitivity decreased steeply with increase of wavelength in UV-B region and remains nearly constant in UV-A region. The action spectra were also slightly steeper than that for the minimum erythematic dose (MED), but very similar to the light absorption spectrum of DNA in UV-B region. On the other hand, the spectra for both endpoints were similar to MED spectrum but not DNA spectrum in the UV-A region. Also different time-course and morphological difference of apoptosis were found between UV-B (long time, fragmentation) and UV-A (short time, shrinkage) region. These results suggest that DNA damage induced by UV-B light triggers apoptosis and reproductive cell death, but other damaged targets (membrane, protein and so on) trigger these effects in UV-A region.

In this paper when $(M, \omega)$ is a compact weakly exact symplectic manifold with nonempty boundary satisfying $c_1｜{\pi}_2(M)$ = 0, we construct an action spectrum bundle over the group of Hamil-tonian diffeomorphisms of the manifold M generated by the time-dependent Hamiltonian vector fields, whose fibre is nowhere dense and invariant under symplectic conjugation.

In this paper, we prove that the two well-known natural normalizations of Hamiltonian functions on the symplectic manifold ($M,\;{\omega}$) canonically relate the action spectra of different normalized Hamiltonians on arbitrary symplectic manifolds ($M,\;{\omega}$). The natural classes of normalized Hamiltonians consist of those whose mean value is zero for the closed manifold, and those which are compactly supported in IntM for the open manifold. We also study the effect of the action spectrum under the ${\pi}_1$ of Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group. This forms a foundational basis for our study of spectral invariants of the Hamiltonian diffeomorphism in [8].

뉴우질랜드 시금치(Tetragonia expansa)잎의 절편(切片)을 $2.0{\times}10^{15}$ quanta $cm^{-2}$ $sec.^{-1}$의 일정 레벌의 에너지를 가지는 각파장(各波長)의 광선(光線)을 쪼였을때 일어나는 violaxanthin의 de-epoxidation과 zeaxanthin의 epoxidationq 반응(反應)의 action spectrum을 측정(測定)하였다. De-epoxidation의 action spectrum에서는 480nm와 648nm에 두 개의 주 피이크를 나타내었고 청색광선(靑色光線)은 적색광선(赤色光線)보다 더 유효(有效)하였으며, 700nm 이상의 파장(波長)에서는 효과(?果)가 없었다. 한편 expoxidation의 spectrum은 440과 670nm 근처(近處)에 피이크를 나타내었고 이것 또한 청색광(靑色光)이 적색광(赤色光)보다 유효(有效)하였으나 700nm 이상의 파장(波長)에 있어서 확실(確實)히 효과(?果)를 나타내었다. Epoxidation과 de-epoxidation의 상반(相反)되는 두 반응(反應)의 정(正)의 결과(結果)는 하나의 cycle scheme 즉 산소(酸素)와 광반응생성물(光反應生性物)을 소비(消費)하는 "violaxanthin cycle"로 보아진다. Action spectra가 지시하는바와 같이 청색광(靑色光)이 적색광(赤色光)보다 더 유효(有效)하다는 것은 청색광(靑色光)에 의한 자극(刺戟)으로 진행(進行)되는 $O_2-uptake$로 간주(看做)된다. 두 action spectrum간(間)의 차이점(差異點)들은 다분히 두 개의 광합성기구(光合成機構)가 동시(同時)에 관련(關聯)되고 있다는 것을 시사한다. 그러므로 violaxanthin cycle은 청색광(靑色光)에 위해서 발생(發生)하는 과잉(過剩)한 광합성생성물(光合成生性物)의 소비경로(消費經路)로서, 또는 그들 생성물(生性物)을 어떤 다른 형태(形態)의 에너지로 전환(轉換)하는 역할(役割)을 하는것이라 보아진다.

Motile cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cells show photomovement with respect to the light stimulus. Under lateral irradiation, Synechocystis displays a phototactic gliding movement toward the light source by a twodimensional random biased walk. Under vertical irradiation, Synechocystis decreased the frequency of mean vectorial gliding speed dependent on the applied fluence rate, whereas the deviation distribution width of the speed increased. This strongly suggests the involvement of photokinesis. Evidence for the cyanobacterial photokinesis was discussed in the previous report (Choi et al., 1999. Photochem. Photobiol. 70, 95-102) demonstrating that the gross scalar speed of vertically irradiating cells increased by about 50% compared with that of dark-adapted cells. In the visible wavelength range, Synechocystis cells showed a maximal photokinetic activity at 420 nm and a second maximal activity at 680 nm. The threshold action spectrum for the photokinesis resembles the absorption spectrum of chlorophyll with major differences in the phototaxis action spectrum at 560 nm and 660 nm. We postulate that the cyanobacterial photokinesis is powered by the energy-generating chlorophyll pigments.

The action spectrum for light-induced growth of fruit body in Pleurotus ostreatus has been studied by irradiation at various wavelengths. Effective wavelengths were distributed from near ultraviolet to blue region of spectrum. The most effect of light was observed in the region between 340 to 520 nanometers. The growth weigth obtained from which has been irradiated 144 hours in the region of 340-520 nm increases 74%, on the contrary the observed growth weight has been observed in the longer wavelengths than 620 nm. The pileus size was promoted 30$\times$32% in the region of 340-500 nm, and retarded 22$\times$19% in the dark. the strip length was rearded 12% in the region of 340-500 nm, and promoted 38% in the dark. The color thickness for pileus is getting light in longer wavelengths.

The action spectrum for mycelial growth and fruitbody primordium formation in Pleurotus ostreatus has been studied by irradiation at various wavelengths. Effective wavelengths. Effective wavelengths were distributed from near ultraviolet to blue region of spectrum. The most effect of light was observed in the region between 340 to 500 nanometers. The light intensity required to obtain of the maximum effect at the most effective wavelengths(430-500nm), was over 6.8 mW/Cm$^{2}$. Up to 6.8 mW/Cm$^{2}$, the primordium formed about 25 hr after the start of illumination. The higher the light intensity, the earlier the formation of the primordium formation : Up to about 6.8 mW/Cm$^{2}$.

Understanding the behavior of skew bridges under the action of earthquakes is quite challenging due to the combined transverse and longitudinal responses even under unidirectional hit. The main goal of this research is to assess the response of skew bridges when subjected to longitudinal and transversal earthquake loading. The effect of skew on the response considering two- and three- span bridges with skew angles varying from 0 to 60 degrees is illustrated. Various pier fixities (and hence stiffness) and cross-section shapes, as well as different abutment's bearing articulations, are also studied. Finite-element models are established for modal and seismic analyses. Around 900 models are analyzed under the action of the code design response spectrum. $Vis-{\grave{a}}-vis$ modal properties, the higher the skew angle, the less the fundamental period. In addition, it is found that bridges with skew angles less than 30 degrees can be treated as straight bridges for the purpose of calculating modal mass participation factors. Other monitored results are bearings' reactions at abutments, shear and torsion demand in piers, as well as deck longitudinal displacement. Unlike straight bridges, it has been typically noted that skew bridges experience non-negligible torsion and bi-directional pier base shears. In a complementary effort to assess the accuracy of the conducted response spectrum analysis, a series of time-history analyses are applied under seven actual earthquake records scaled to match the code design response spectrum and critical comparisons are performed.

지진하중과 같은 횡하중에 대하여 교량구조물의 아칭작용은 교대 사이의 상부구조에 의해 발생하며 이를 상부구조의 저항능력이라고도 한다. 교량구조물의 아칭작용의 크기는 경간의 수에 영향을 받으며 또한 상부구조, 교대와 교각의 연결조건 및 상부구조와 하부구조의 강성비에도 영향을 받는다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 상자형 교량의 비탄성 지진응답에 대한 아칭작용의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 경간수에 따른 두 가지 종류의 예제교량(교량 SB와 교량 LB), 교각의 높이의 배열에 따른 세가지 종류(대칭, 비대칭)의 교량, 상부구조와 하부구조의 연결조건에 따른 세가지 교량(형식 A, B, C)등에 대한 구분을 조합하여 18가지 종류의 예제구조물을 작성하였으며, 이 예제구조물들에 대하여 역량스펙트럼해석, 비탄성 시간이력해석을 수행하여 지진응답을 비교하여 아칭작용의 영향을 분석하였다. 아칭작용의 영향(최대변위의 감소와 저항능력의 증가)은 교량 SB(short bridge)의 경우가 교량 LB(long bridge) 보다 크게 나타났으며 대칭교량의 경우가 비대칭교량에 비하여 크게 나타남을 알수 있었다.
