The taxonomic revision was made on the tribe Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Korea. The Korean species are arranged after Kryzhanovskij et al. (1995) system with minor emendation. This present list is an attempt to bring together the available literature and collection-based information on fauna or taxa recorded from Korea (including some collections from the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, now North Korea). Materials examined for each species, an annotative checklist of Korean Carabidae, and the practical key to tribes and genera are provided. As a result, a total 86 species (and subspecies) belonging to 13 genera are recognized from the Korean Peninsula, of which one species (Harpalus egorovi) is new to South Korea. Distribution of two species, Harpalus tardus and H. tibeticus hsifanicus, are very doubtful in the Korean Peninsula. Besides, numerous new distribution records are given as based on materials deposited in various Universities and private collections.

Wooden dowels are commonly used to join the particleboard members together in many types of structures, But little information is available concerning their holding properties in domestic particleboard. This study was performed to determine the withdrawal loads and strengths on the effect of diameter of dowel and hole clearance. The test block was manufactured from 15 mm thick domestic particleboard. The dowel was manufactured 6, 8 and 10 mm diameters from korean castanea, korean pine and tuliptree. Research reported here indicates that withdrawal loads increase, but withdrawal strengths decrease, as the dowel diameter increases. This study also indicates that dowel withholding load and strength for particleboard less decrease than those for domestic wood as a hole clearance decreases.

A lot of research works in the BPM area focuses on the development of new techniques in process mining. Even though the application of process mining to analyze real life process logs is important, only few case studies are available. Thus, in this paper, we conduct a case study on how to analyze a real life process log which comes from a Korean company in the heavy industry area. We analyze a customer service process that consists of a series of activities to enhance the level of customer satisfaction. In this case study, five research questions are derived based on collected questions from the company. Then we focus on bottleneck analysis, basic performance analysis and pattern analysis that are selected in order to answer the research questions. The analysis shows some abnormal behaviors in the process and possible ways to improve current processes are suggested.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) in aves are the progenitor cells for the gametes. These cells first appear in the epiblast (Eyal-Giladi et al.. 1981). Then translocate and concentrate to endoderm of germinal crescent area in the junction of the area opaca and area pellucida lateral to the primitive streak in stage 4 through 7. They separate from the endoderm, temporarily circulate via the blood vascular system, leave the blood vessels, and finally settle down in the gonadal anlagen at stage 20-24 where they rapidly proliferate to form germ cells. Recently, several attempts have been made to introduce foreign gene into the avian genome to form a transgenic chicken. The stem cells most readily available as vehicles for genetic manipulation of germline in avian species are the PGCs. PGCs have recently been manipulated genetically and used successfully as a vector for gene transfer.

This paper presents a comparison of the failure mechanism for high power converted white LEDs(3W) with the commercially available YAG:Ce and silicate phosphor. We carry out the normal aging life test for 10,000 hours, the high temperature aging test for 8,000 hours, the high temperature and humidity aging test for 8,000 hours and the current aging testing for 5,000 hours. The optical and electrical parameters of LEDs were monitored, such as lumen, correlated color temperature (CCT), chromaticity coordinates(x, y), thermal resistance, I -V curve and spectrum intensity. The stress induced a luminous flux decay on LED in all experiments and causes a failure. So we try to find out what's a main failure mechanism for a high power LED.

As the economy has picked up in recent years, so have the changes in the food industry. Due to trends in the family structure, two income households are becoming more common, including the in-crease of the female working population. Leisure activities and time continue to increase and to cause changes in the food industry which makes many kinds of food available to everyone, compared to previous times when people ate simply to live. This trend can be easily seen by considering the year to year increase of expenses for eating out. As life as become more and more complicated and full of variety, the trend towards a consumer oriented food industry has accelerated and is becoming a major element of Korean life. In the past, quantity of food was the most important aspect of the food preparation. Today, the dining experience includes social and cultural meanings which emphasizes customar oriented menus and services. In the restaurant business, successful management must consider the interests of both employees and custmers and must be run efficiently and probide good service.

Silk is a textile material, as well as one of the oldest biomaterials. However, the recent progress of biomedical science and technology has led to the replacement of silk by various biomaterials based on synthetic polymers. Despite the wide variety of biomaterials available, these materials suffer certain limitations that prevent them from meeting the various demands of the medical field. Therefore, silk continues to attract considerable interest as a promising biomaterial. This paper explains the fundamentals of silk protein, and reviews the many applications of silk biomedical polymers.

Tidal-current power is now recognized as a clean power resource. The turbine blade is the fundamental component of a tidal current power turbine. The kinetic energy available within a tidal current can be converted into rotational power by turbine blades. While in service, turbine blades are generally subjected to cyclic fatigue loading due to their rotation and the rotor-tower interaction. Predicting the fatigue life under a hydrodynamic fatigue load is very important to prevent blade failure while in service. To predict the fatigue life, hydrodynamic load data should be acquired. In this study, the vibration characteristics were analyzed based on three-dimensional unsteady simulations to obtain the cyclic fatigue load. Our results can be applied to the fatigue design of horizontal-axis tidal turbines.

Crude Aconiti Tubers were irradiated with microwave for 5 or 10 min with or without $NaHCO_3$. Ten min-irradiation reduced the contents of aconitine and mesaconitine to the level of those of commercially available processed Aconiti tuber power which is prepared with the high pressure-high temperature technique. The contents of benzoylaconine of the 10 min-irradiated Aconiti tubers were also comparable to those of commerciallized processed Aconiti tuber powder. However, irradiation with 1% $NaHCO_3$ soln. resulted in the drastic reduction of all the three above alkaloids.

There are many research results as individual uni-axial tension creep test of heat-resisting materials. However, there are very few about the study on the high temperature creep test for the Initial Strain Method, and especially any study on it about the friction welded joints of SUH3 to SUH35. One of the important concerns is a reliable method of evaluating static creep properties. No reliable method seems available at present to evaluate or predict static creep properties. So, the reliable method to evaluate and predict them by the ISM and AE techniques was made.
