Biting midges (Culicoides: Ceratopogonidae) were collected by Mosquito Magnet$^{(R)}$ traps at the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission (NNSC) camp and Daeseongdong village inside the demilitarized zone (DMZ) and near the military demarcation line (MDL) separating North and South Korea and at Warrior Base (US Army training site) and Tongilchon 3 km south of the DMZ in northern Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea (ROK), from May-October 2010-2012, to determine their seasonal distributions. A total of 18,647 Culicoides females (18,399; 98.7%) and males (248; 1.3%) comprising 16 species were collected. Overall, the most commonly collected species was Culicoides nipponensis (42.9%), followed by C. erairai (29.2%), C. punctatus (20.3%), C. arakawae (3.3%), C. pallidulus (1.8%), and C. circumscriptus (1.4%), while the remaining 10 species accounted for only 1.1% of all Culicoides spp. collected. The seasonal distribution of C. nipponensis was bimodal, with high numbers collected during May-June and again during September. C. erairai was more frequently collected during June-July, followed by sharply decreased populations from August-October. C. punctatus was collected in low numbers from May-September with high numbers collected during October. C. erairai was predominantly collected from the NNSC camp (85.1% of all C. erairai collected) located adjacent to the MDL at Panmunjeom in the northernmost part of Gyeonggi-do (Province), while other sites yielded low numbers of specimens.

한강 지류인 가정천과 원주천에 서식하는 Z. platypus의 생식생태에 관하여 연구하였다. 이차성징으로 수컷의 머리부위와 뒷지느러미, 미병부에 추성이 형성되었고 혼인색의 변화가 뚜렷하였으며, 산란기 체형변화로 암수에서 모두 뒷지느러미 길이가 길어지고, 체고도 높아졌다. Z. platypus 수컷의 세력권 싸움의 형태는 머리싸움(head butting), 회전싸움(rotated fighting), 평행하게 헤엄치면서 싸우기(parallel swimming), 물어뜯기(biting), 축출하기(expelling) 등이었다. Z. platypus는 전반적으로 유속이 느리고, 수심이 얕은 모래 바닥에 산란이 임박한 암컷의 상부에 위치하다가 옆으로 내려와 나란히 자세를 취한 뒤 뒷지느러미로 모래를 파헤치면서 산란 하였고, 별도의 난 보호행동은 하지 않았다. 산란 간격과 지속시간은 산란장의 개체 밀도와 관련이 있었다.

Studies on the feeding and resting behavior of Culex pipiens pallens, a possible vector of Japanese encephalitis in Korea, was carried out at Kobu-Ri, Kobu-Myon, Chongup Kun. Cholla Pukdo in 1967. 1. Indoor and outdoor human biting collections showed that 47.3 per cent Culex pipiens pallens were collected indoors and 52.7 per cent outdoors. 2.Feeding occurred throughout the night from dusk to dawn, with the peak period from 23:00-24:00 hours outside the house and from 24:00-01:00 hours inside. 3. Culex pipiens pallens females preferred man for their blood feeding to domestic animals. The results of human and cow biting collections showed that the feeding ratio between man and cow was 2.1 to 1. As to the feeding preference to the domestic animals, the ratio among cow, pig and horse was 7.3 to 5.1 to 5.4 4. Daytime resting collections showed that large numbers of Culex pipiens pallens females rest inside the house, especially in the bed room and the chicken pen. As temperatures increased, fewer mosquitoes resting indoors and more mosquitoes rest ing outdoors were caught. By means of sweep-net collections at outdoors resting places, a small number of Culex pipiens pallens mosquitoes were caught in such places as grass fields, vegetable fields, barley fields, bean fields, culverts, bomb shelters, and so on. A comparison between number of mosquitoes collected resting during the day in bedrooms and verandahs with resting collections in the same places at night showed that more mosquitoes were present at night. It was observed that the majority of the unfed females rested before feeding at night.

본 논문은 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에서 터보 처리 기법 (Turbo-BLAST)을 위한 새로운 조기 정지 기법을 제안한다. 터보 처리 기법의 높은 복잡도를 줄이기 위해서는 외부 반복 횟수를 줄이는 일이 필수적이다. IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMax와 같은 시스템에서는 전송된 데이터 버스트의 마지막 인코딩 패킷을 제외하면 CRC 비트가 부가되지 않는다. 따라서 이러한 시스템에서는 CRC 비트의 도움 없이 반복을 종료할 수 있는 조기 정지 기법이 필요하다. 제안된 기법은 수신된 패러티 비트들과 수신된 정보 비트들로부터 재 부호화된 패러티 비트들 간의 부호 변화를 관찰함으로써 수행된다. 또한, IEEE 802.16e와 같이 tail-biting 부호를 가지는 시스템의 경우에 재 부호화의 복잡도를 절반으로 줄이는 방법이 제안된다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과는 제안된 조기 정지 기법이 종래의 조기 정지 기법에 비해 더 적은 수의 평균 반복 횟수를 가지고 GENIE aided 기법과 동등한 수준의 성능을 가짐을 보인다.

옥돔의 조획 기구를 알아내고, 낚시를 개량하기 위해서 수조 중에서 옥돔의 연승어구에 대해 반응 행동을 비디오 카메라로 관찰 조사하였다. 옥돔은 물살을 거슬르면서 해저 위를 천천히 유영하며 미끼에 접근하였고, 미끼를 물때에는 불완전하게 무는 경우가 많았으며, 미끼를 문 후에는 천천히 뒤로 유영하면서 아릿줄이 당겨지면 미끼를 내뱉는 등의 완만하고 주의 깊은 행동을 보였다. 대부분의 조획은 미끼를 깊이 삼킨 후에 옥돔이 Rush 또는 Jerk 행동을 할 때 되었고, 조획과 관계 깊은 행동연쇄는 Chewing$\longrightarrow$Jerk 또는 Chewing$\longrightarrow$Rush였다. 현장시험에서 채가 긴 낚시가 조획성능이 매우 낮았고, 채가 짧은 낚시에는 조획성능도 양호하고 조획된 부위가 깊었던 것을 고려하면 옥돔은 낚시를 깊이 삼켜야만 조획이 가능하므로 조획성능만을 생각하면 낚시의 형상은 낚시 채가 짧으며 끝이 안으로 굽어 있는 형상이 적합하다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 낚시 형은 조획성능을 위한 조건을 만족하면서도 기계화 조업도 가능한 절충형의 구조이다.

Dysregulation of excitatory neurotransmission has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neuropsychiatric disorders. Pharmacological inhibition of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors is widely used to model neurobehavioral pathologies and underlying mechanisms. There is ample evidence that overstimulation of NMDA-dependent neurotransmission may induce neurobehavioral abnormalities, such as repetitive behaviors and hypersensitization to nociception and cognitive disruption, pharmacological modeling using NMDA has been limited due to the induction of neurotoxicity and blood brain barrier breakdown, especially in young animals. In this study, we examined the effects of intraperitoneal NMDA-administration on nociceptive and repetitive behaviors in ICR mice. Intraperitoneal injection of NMDA induced repetitive grooming and tail biting/licking behaviors in a dose- and age-dependent manner. Nociceptive and repetitive behaviors were more prominent in juvenile mice than adult mice. We did not observe extensive blood brain barrier breakdown or neuronal cell death after peritoneal injection of NMDA, indicating limited neurotoxic effects despite a significant increase in NMDA concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid. These findings suggest that the observed behavioral changes were not mediated by general NMDA toxicity. In the hot plate test, we found that the latency of paw licking and jumping decreased in the NMDA-exposed mice especially in the 75 mg/kg group, suggesting increased nociceptive sensitivity in NMDA-treated animals. Repetitive behaviors and increased pain sensitivity are often comorbid in psychiatric disorders (e.g., autism spectrum disorder). Therefore, the behavioral characteristics of intraperitoneal NMDA-administered mice described herein may be valuable for studying the mechanisms underlying relevant disorders and screening candidate therapeutic molecules.

Biting midges (Culicoides: Ceratopogonidae) were collected using New Jersey light traps at Yongsan US Army Garrison (USAG;urban), Seoul Metropolitan city and Camp Humphreys USAG (rural), Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do (province), Republic of Korea , from May-October 2010-2013 and 2015-2017, to determine species composition and seasonal distribution patterns in urban and rural habitats. A total of 9,958 female (53.85%) and 8,533 male (46.15%) Culicoides comprising 16 species were collected. Overall, the most commonly collected species was Culicoides arakawae (74.3%), followed by C. circumscriptus (16.2%), C. kibunensis (2.5%), C. nasuensis (2.2%), C. clavipalpis (1.4%), and C. pallidulus (1.3%), while the remaining 10 species accounted for <2.1% of all Culicoides spp. collected. The 2 predominant species collected were C. circumscriptus (47.4%) and C. arakawae (33.4%) at Yongsan, and C. arakawae (90.4%) and C. circumscriptus (3.9%) at Camp Humphreys. The seasonal abundance of these 2 species varied between years and between sites but on average peaked in August-September for C. arakawae and June-July for C. circumscriptus. Annual variations in abundance were observed for most species collected during this study. Unusually high proportions of male specimens were observed for most species at both sites which may be due to the use of the New Jersey trap.

Objective: To investigate the potential correlation between fixed orthodontic retention failure and several patient- and treatment-related factors. Methods: Patients finishing treatment with fixed appliances between 2016 and 2017 were retrospectively included in this study. Those not showing fixed retention failure were considered as control group. Patients with fixed retention failure were considered as the experimental group. Additionally, patients with failure of fixed retainers in the period of June 2019 to March 2021 were prospectively identified and included in the experimental group. The location of the first retention failure, sex, pretreatment dental occlusion, facial characteristics, posttreatment dental occlusion, treatment approach and presence of oral habits were compared between groups before and after treatment separately by using a Fisher exact test and a Mann-Whitney U test. Results: 206 patients with fixed retention failure were included, 169 in the mandibular and 74 in the maxillary jaws. Significant correlations were observed between retention failure in the mandibular jaws and mandibular arch length discrepancy (P = 0.010), post-treatment growth pattern (P = 0.041), nail biting (P < 0.001) and abnormal tongue function (P = 0.002). Retention failure in the maxillary jaws was more frequent in patients with IPR in the mandibular jaws (P = 0.005) and abnormal tongue function (P = 0.021). Conclusions: This study suggests a correlation between fixed retention failure and parafunctional habits, such as nail biting and abnormal tongue function. Prospective studies with larger study populations could further confirm these results.

This paper deals with human nursing and milking. We have made clear the principle of milking of human babies that consists of biting force, sucking pressure and movement of tongue. Base on this observation, the tongue mechanism was proposed. Then new type milking machine was developed and helpful milking was realized by controlling it with reference to human babies behavior. The experimental result of milking from nursing bottles and breast of mothers are shown in this paper. According to the result, the machine has almost same ability as babies.
