Age and growth of red tongue sole (Cynoglossus joyneri), were studied using samples from the coastal waters off Yeosu, Korea, from January to December, 2001. Sagittal otoliths had relatively clear annuli. Marginal index of otolith dropped sharhly in August suggesting that each annulus was formed once a year In August. Monthly changes in the gonadosomatic index indicated that spawning peaked between July and September. The oldest fish observed in this study was 4 years old for both of females and males. Relationships between the otolith radius (R) and total length (L) were: L=14.1R-0.098 for females, and L=11.9R+1.83 for males. Relationships between total length and body weight $(W)\;were:\;W=0.0021L^{3.24}\;for\;females,\;and\;W=0.0014L^{3.39}$ for males. Growth in length of the fish was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's growth equation as:$L_{t}=29.06\;(1-e^{-0.19(t+2.40)})\;for\;females\;and\;L_{t}=27.44 (1-e^{-0.17(t+2.84)})$ for males.

We studied the age and growth of anchovies Engraulis japonicus, collected using three different fishing gears (drag net, set net, and bottom trawl) in the South Sea of Korea from November 2020 to October 2021.To determine the age, 344 speciemens were analyzed by reading the otolith sagittal plane. Monthly changes in the growth of translucency at the edge and the marginal increment ratio revealed that annuli in otoliths were fully formed in March once a year. We compared four different types of growth equations, and found that the data set of observed length at age (yearly) as estimated the growth parameter (L_∞ = FL 16.17 cm, k = 0.33/year, t₀ = -1.65) fitted well on the von Bertalanffy growth curve.

Age and growth of flathead grey mullet Mugil cephalus were estimated using samples collected by a two-side fyke net in the coastal water off Taean in 2008. Age was determined by examination of annuli in otoliths and total lengths at ages were back-calculated from otolth-body size relationship. Total length ranged from 239 to 605 mm and mainly between 400 and 550 mm. Observed ages ranged from 1 to 7 years old and mainly between 3 and 5 years old. Total length (L, mm) was linearly related to otolith radius (R, mm); L=15.3+87.9 R. Total lengths at the annulus formation in otolith were back-calculated by Frazer-Lee method. Estimated length at the age 1 was $316{\pm}40.6mm$ ($mean{\pm}SD$) showing a fast growth rate during the early growth stage. Total length at each age (t) showed a wide range indicating the big difference in growth rate among individuals. Growth in total length can be expressed by a Von Bertalanffy growth curve as $L_t=542[1-{\exp}\{-0.493 (t+0.769)\}]$.

To identify the effects of an outflow area on pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus, three different flow restrictors were studied experimentally. For the test, a heated tube of smooth stainless steel and water at atmospheric pressure were used. Both annuli with open and closed bottoms were considered. To validate the effects of the outflow area on the heat transfer, the results of the annulus with the restrictor were compared with the data for the plain annulus without the restrictor. The reduction of the outflow area ultimately results in a decrease in the heat transfer. As the outflow area is very small, a slight increase in heat transfer is also observed. The major cause of this tendency is explained as the difference in the intensity of liquid agitation cause by the movement of coalesced bubbles. It is identified that the convective flow, pulsating flow, and evaporative mechanism are considered as the important mechanisms.

The age and growth of marbled flounder Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae in coastal waters of the East Sea of Korea off Pohang were determined, by evaluating monthly samples of commercial catches, caught by gill nets and longlines from February 2013 to January 2014. New annuli from annually in P. yokohamae otoliths, and the boundary between the opaque and translucent zones forms from March to May. The relationships between total length (TL) and total weight (TW) were $TW=0.009TL^{3.128}$ ($R^2=0.969$) for females and $TW=0.008TL^{3.150}$ ($R^2=0.964$) for males. The TLs at the time of annulus formation, back-calculated from the otolith-length relationship by reference to the von Bertalanffy growth curves, were $L_t=52.63$ ($1-{\exp}^{(-0.231(t+0.033))}$) for females and $L_t=36.22$ ($1-{\exp}^{(-0.400(t+0.117))}$) for males. Commencing at the age of 3 years, females grew faster than males (P<0.05).

We report here on a case of performing a redo-operation for a 65-years-old male patient who had prosthetic endocarditis after reconstruction of the fibrous skeleton due to infective endocarditis 8 years earlier. An aortic annular abscess with a 1cm sized subvalvular abscess and mobile mitral valve vegetation with destruction of the fibrous skeleton was shown on the preoperative echocardiography. An emergency operation was performed due to heart failure. Reconstruction of both the aortic and mitral annuli and the fibrous skeleton was done by using two separate bovine pericardial patches and then mechanical valves were implanted. The postoperative echocardiography shows no paravalvular leakage. The patient has been followed up with no symptoms.

Age growth and spawning period of Enedrias nebulosus were estimated based on otoliths taken from a total of 255 fish samples of E. nebulosus, which were caught in the costal waters of $Kod\v{o}kto$ near Pusan from November 1990 to October 1991. Marginal increment analysis indicates that annuli in E. nebulosus are formed in December. Spawning period was estimated to be November to January, with a peak in December. The von Bertalanffy growth equations were expressed as follows: $L_t=33.64(1-e^{-0.1357(t+2.6853)})$ and $W_t=414.11(1-e^{-0.1357(t+2.6853)})^{3.9745}$, Where $L_t$, is total length in cm, $W_t$, is total weight in g and t is age in year.

Age and growth of spotted halibut, Verasper variegatus were determined using samples collected from commercial catch in the Southern Sea, Korea. Age was determined by counting the otolith annuli which were clearly defined between translucent and opaque zones, and formed between February and March. Growth of spotted halibut was expressed by the von Bertalanffy's equation as $L_t=71.07(1-e^{{\cdot}0.3036(t-0.1173)})$ for females and $L_t=57.44(1-e^{-0.2931(t+0.1590)})$ for males. Almost all the fish examined were younger than 3 years old. The oldest fish was 6 years old in female and 4 years old in male.

Pratylenchus loosi Loof, 1960 is recorded for the first time from Korea. The nematode was isolated from the roots of tea (Thea sinensis L.) and soil around the roots from Yeongam-gun, Jeo-llanam-do and Namjeju-gun, Jeju-do, Korea. This species has two lip annuli. The female is 433-646 $\mu\textrm{m}$ long: a＝ 29.1-37.5, b ＝ 5.1-6.4, c ＝ 15.0-21.3, vulva(%) ＝ 73.0-85.4. The male body length is 408-512$\mu\textrm{m}$ long: a＝36.1-40.0, b＝4.8-6.7, c ＝17.0-19.0, and spicule ＝ 14.1-18.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The stylet is 11.6-18.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ long and the number of incisures is four. The shape of spermatheca filled with sperm is broadly rounded, oval and quadrangular The shape of tail is narrowly round to subacute.

This study carried out a series of experiments involving impact tests (Drop Weight type & Charpy type with a standard specimen and newly designed I-type specimen), hardness tests, and fracture surface observations of French-made roll shell steel (F), abnormal roll shell steel (M), reheated roll shell steel (R), and S25C steel under heat treatment conditiAn experimental study was carried out to study the solid-liquid mixture upward hydraulic transport of solid particles in vertical and inclined annuli with a rotating inner cylinder. The lift forces acting on a fluidized particle play a central role in many important applications such as the removal of drill cuttings in horizontal drill holes, sand transport in fractured reservoirs, sediment transport, the cleaning of particles from surfaces, etc. In this study a clear acrylic pipe was used to observe the movement of solid particles. Annular velocities varied from 0.4 to 1.2 m/s. The effect of the annulus inclination and drill pipe rotation on the carrying capacity of a drilling fluid, particle rising velocity, and pressure drop in a slim hole annulus were measured for fully-developed flows of water and aqueous solutions of CMC (sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) and bentonite. The rotation of the inner cylinder was efficient at carrying particles to some degree. For a higher particle volume concentration, the hydraulic pressure loss of the mixture flow increased because of the friction between the wall and solids or between solids.
