  • Feeding behavior of Temora turbinata was investigated through laboratory experiments with special emphasis on its food preference and consequent clearance rate on diatom and microbial components given as common natural food assemblage of coastal area (Uchiumi, Uwa Sea, Japan). Among available prey items, T. turbinata showed the highest clearance rate for Thalassiosira spp. ($0.23{\pm}0.08L\;Temora^{-1}day^{-1}$) followed by Chaetoceros spp. ($0.11{\pm}0.03L\;Temora^{-1}day^{-1}$), but clearance rates for other diatom, Nitzschia spp. was lower (0.03 to $0.07L\;Temora^{-1}day^{-1}$). Bacterial abundances showed no response against 24-h feeding of T. turbinata. Feeding of T. turbinata on heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) was apparent when clearance rates of T. turbinata on diatoms were relatively low, but T. turbinata did not consume HNF as well as ciliates with Thalassiosira spp. of which clearance rate was highest. The results suggest that HNF and ciliates are possible supplementary prey item for T. turbinata, but their contribution as food sources can be limited by the presence of other prey items such as preferable diatom species.

  • Diurnal variation of fish assemblage in the coastal waters, Shinsudo, Samchonpo was investigated using samples collected by RN 80net. A total of 32 species in 24 families was classfied from samples collected during the period of investigation. Enedrias nebulosus, Acanthogobius flavimanus, callionymus sp. dominated in number of individuals. These three most abundant fish species accounted for approximately 55.3% of the total number of fish collected. The percentage similarity values of number were larger than those of biomass. The catches in January and May 1987 showed a significant difference between day and night compositions. The number of species and individuals peaked just after twilight and low tide.

  • Jido kaolin deposits developed in the rhyolitic tuff of Cretaceous are located in the western part of Sinan-gun, Jeonranam-do. Jido kaolin deposits is predominantly composed of pyrophyllite, kaolinite and illite. On the basis of mineral assemblage Jido kaolin deposits can be divided into three alteraion zone from the center of alteration to the margin; kaolinite, kaolinite-pyrophyillite and pyrophyillite zones. Discriminant analysis show that $Al_2O_3$, $K_2O$, $Na_2O$, CaO of major elements are discriminant elements classifying kaolinite, kaolinite-pyrophyllite and pyrophyllite zones, while in case of trace elements Cr, Ni, Sc, Zn, and Zr are discriminant elements. Kaolin deposits has been formed by the hydrothermal alterations of the volcano rocks such as rhyolitic tuff and lapilli tuff, in late cretaceous. On the basis of the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, the deposits can be classified into three types of minerals assemblages; kaolinite, kaolinite-pyrophyllite and pyrophyllite zones. All the assemblages contain quartz and muscovite, but the kaolinite zone contains kaolinite, illite and chlorite, the kaolinite-pyrophyllite zone contains kaolinite, pyrophyllite and the pyrophyllite zone contains illite and pyrite.

  • Floating seaweed rafts are a surface-pelagic habitat that serve as substrates for benthic flora and fauna. Since 2008, Sargassum horneri clumps have periodically invaded the Korea Strait. In this study, the polymerase chain reaction-free small-organelles enriched metagenomics method was adopted to identify the species of epibiotic eukaryotes present in floating S. horneri fronds. A total of 185 species were identified, of which about 63% were previously undetected or unreported in Korean waters. The rafts harbored a diverse assemblage of eukaryotic species, including 39 Alveolata, 4 Archaeplastida, 95 Opisthokonts, 4 Rhizaria, and 43 Stramenopiles. Of these 185 taxa, 48 species were found at both Sargassum rafts collection stations and included 24 Stramenopiles, 17 Alveolata, and 7 Opisthokonts. Among these, the highest proportion (50%) of species was photo-autotrophic in basic trophic modes, while the proportion of phagotrophic, osmo- or saprotrophic, and parasitic modes were 43.8%, 4.2%, and 2.1%, respectively. This study demonstrates the contribution of floating Sargassum rafts as dispersal vectors that facilitate the spread of alien species.

  • Discrete fracture model has become one of the alternatives for the classical continuum model to simulate the irregular aspects of the fluid flow and the solute transport in fractured rocks. It is based on the assumptions that the discharge in a single fracture is proportional to the cube of the aperture and the fractured rock can be represented by the statistical assemblage of such single fractures. This study is intended to evaluate the effect of the fracture junction on the cubic law. Numerical solution of flow in junction system was obtained by using the Boundary-Fitted Coordinate System (BFCS) method. Results with different intersection angles in crossing fractures show that the geometry of the junction affects the discharge pattern under the same simulation conditions. Therefore, strict numerical and experimental examinations on this subject are required.

  • The paper presents the results of shaking table test conducted on the 1/3.3 scaled large concrete panel model. The behaviors of large concrete panel structures subjected to seismic excitations are controlled by capacity of horizontal and vertical joints. To Study the seismic capacity of the large concrete panel structures, experimental researches for joints and structural assemblage are needed. Especially, since the magnitude of seismic loads are depended on the variation of time, period and accelerations, dynamic test is needed for estimating the seismic resistance of large concrete panel structures. The objective of this paper is to study the behaviors of large concrete panel structures on seismic excitations and to estimate the safety. Test results are as follows : 1) Test model was critically damaged in the first floor horizontal joint by rocking. 2) Elastic limit(0.12kg) of test model was 5times higher than that of korean seismic design code. 3) Maxium base shear of test model at the ground acceleration of 0.12g was 3.5 times higher than the result of equivalent static analysis. 4) Damping ratio of test model turned out 3.9~5.3% and the period at 0.12g was 0.065sec.

  • The purpose of this study is to defined the conception and characteristics of Post-Modernism and dealt with how they are expressed in costume. Major characteristics of Post-Modernism are Historicism, Pluralism, and Eclecticism and these are reflected in the costume. 1. Historicism of Post-Modernism is a trend recreate artistic symbolism which Modernism lacked in reference to historical factors of the past. It has been as a trend of restoration and an ornamental trend can be included in the category of historicism in that it restored historical ornaments. 2. Pluralism of Post-Modernism means an open-hearted attitude toward everything. In costume, it has been expressed as a trend of mixed fashion style such as ecology, street fashion and futurism, collapse and mix of genres, diversity of materials and emphasis on texture caused by assemblage, change of the use to escape from the conventional system and avant-garde. 3. Eclecticism of Post-Modernism is expressed as a blended fashion style based on the principal of de-dualism. It has several trends ; exotic trend by mixing both oriental and western culters, androgyny which is a mixed image of an and woman, and a trend to use many kinds of materials together influenced by collage which is an eclectic mode.

  • The assemblage of the trapezoidal segments, which is being used increasingly to shield tunnelling, with Guide rod and Dowel forms tunnel lining. In this case the larger the taper angle of trapezoidal segment is, the easier the assembly work becomes. The large angle can reduce the water proof material's phenomenon of being pushed back, but decreases the structural safety in connecting section of tunnel lining. In this paper a 3-dimensional numerical analysis was performed to estimate the exact behavior of a model shield tunnel made by connecting 3-dimensionally various accessories with irregular sectioned segments. We obtained the operating force of connecting section according to the change of taper angle of trapezoidal segment and sought for improved scheme for connecting section by comparing and analyzing the test results on the friction resistance force of connecting parts.

  • Moderately diverse, but very abundant trace fossils are found from the Late Pleistocene deposits of Jeju Island, Korea. Vertical I-, Y- and U-shaped domichnia of annelids or decapods are, over 2500, extremely abundant, 3D network domichnia of callianassids are, over 200, very abundant, and small sinuous trails of nematode repichnia are, over 50, abundant in number. Horizontal trails attributable to polychaete or worm-like animals are, less than 50, common, but horizontal spreiten burrows, fish traces and crab trackways are, less than 10, rare in occurrence. Of these trace fossils, Taenidium barretti, Undichna britannica and Undichna unisulca represent the first record from the Pleistocene in Asia. Psilonichnus upsilon is the second record in Asia. Crab trackways probably produced by underwater punting gait of sideway walking crabs may represent the first record in the world. In addition, diverse and very abundant footprints of more than 500 hominids, more than 200 birds and more than 1000 mammals are closely associated with these invertebrate trace fossils. Trace fossil assemblage integrated with sedimentary facies is interpreted to have been formed in the marginal marine foreshore to backshore environment corresponding to the Psilonichnus and Skolithos ichnofacies.

  • Petrographic and palaeomagnetic studies have been conducted to understand the origin of dark-colored enclaves occurring in the hornblende biotite granite within the Wondong caldera. The enclaves are commonly elongted and rounded in shape. They are finer-grained and darker-colored than enclosing granite, but they have simliar mineral assemblage to that of granite. Under the microscope the enclaves show microstructures reflecting an igneius origin. The microstructures of igneous origin include elongate grain shapes of plagioclase, hornblende, apatite, poikilitic anhedral quartz and zoning of plagiclase. All above features indicate that the enclaves belong to the 'microgranitoid enclaves' of Vernon (1984). a total of 91 orirnted samples were drilled from 4 sites, and their AMS (anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility) axis directions and remance components were analyzed. The result shows thar both enclave and host granite have same AMS priniciple axis direction and same remanence magnetic direction in each site. The result of this study suggests that the anclaves were derived from the globules of magma, which were formed by pillowing of synpltonic dike of magma that is more mafic than the host granite magma.
