In the commercially managed timber lands, the information such as height, age, stand density, canopy closure and leaf area index need to be collected periodically. Stand volume is the most fundamental information in the valuation of timber, however, stand age information is the primary element of forest inventory and these two are highly correlated. Conventional method of collecting stand age information by field surveys such as ring count method is accurate; however, it is expensive, labor-intensive and time consuming. In the present study it was aimed to collect stand age information using modem techniques in a commercially managed timberland situated in Tennessee, USA. The Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) of three different periods, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), National elevation dataset (NED) and field inventory data were used. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and Tasselled Cap (TC) transformation techniques were applied on the TM and ETM+ data. The regression analysis was carried out to identify the correlation between stand age and NDVI, TC. In the present study about 2,469 datasets were analyzed. The $R^{2}$ value for stand age estimation was 0.713. The NDVI, TC2 and TC3 were found to produce accurate timber age information.

This paper presents an ongoing study to develop a novel pressure sensor by means of a Nano Carbon Piezoresistive Composite (NCPC). The sensor was fabricated using the 3D printing process. We designed a miniaturized cantilever-type sensor electrode to improve the pressure sensing performance and utilized a 3D printer to build a small-sized body. The sensor electrode was made of 2 wt％ MWCNT/epoxy piezoresistive nano-composite, and the sensor body was encapsulated with a pipe plug cap for easy installation to any pressure system. The piezoresistivity responses of the sensor were converted into stable voltage outputs by using a signal processing system, which is similar to a conventional foil strain gauge. We evaluated the pressure-sensing performances using a pressure calibrator in the lab environment. The 3D-printed cantilever electrode pressure sensor showed linear voltage outputs of up to 16,500 KPa, which is a 200％ improvement in the pressure sensing range when compared with the bulk-type electrode used in our previous work.

The word 'lace' comes from the Latin, lacium, meaning a knot. There are two broad categories of lace: needlepoint lace and bobbin lace. Lace has enjoyed a multitude of uses, embellishing both liturgical and domestic objects. It has also played a major role in the history of western fashion, adorning the apparel of men as well as women. Lace lappets and cap crowns, cravat ends and veils were made for those who could afford them. Before the end of the sixteen century, more complex techniques were employed. The baroque period, needlepoint lace evolved from the early simple geometric patterns of punto in aria Which enhanced ruffs, to deeply scalloped designs, often referred to as collar lace, and thence to the bold and magnificent relief effects of Venetian gros point. Through the seventeenth century is noted for the infinite variety of its cravat, collar and kerchief, most of them lace trimmed and all artfully contrived for the wearer. The type of sleeve in women's dress reaching just below the elbow, ending in ruffles of lace which was called engageantes. Sometimes the ends of a fichu or headdress decorated of lace. In the nineteenth century, empress Eugenie's love of lace resulted in a marked increase in the use of that lovely, delicate fabrication. It was lavished upon sleeves, hats, capes, and handkerchieves. Entire flounces, parasols, jackets, and shawls of lace were created by skilled lace makers of Europe. By the time this magnificent piece was created, most lace was being produced by machine. Today, the tradition of handmade lace continues, but glorious examples are no longer made. However, the techniques have been taken up and revitalized within the fiber art movement.

A new brown button mushroom cultivar, 'Hogam', C34 line, was made by crossing homokaryons, ASI1164-37 and ASI1175-66, selected by RAPD analysis and by cultivating three times. Mycelium of 'Hogam' on CDA (compost dextrose agar) media grew well at $25^{\circ}C$. The optimum pin-heading temperature of new variety and optimum growing temperature was $14-18^{\circ}C$. The thickness of the mature cap and stipe were thicker than a control, 'Dahyang' that developed in 2010. The color of pileus was light brown and lighter than 'Dahyang'. Days required from casing to first harvesting were three days longer than control strain, but the weight of harvested fruiting body increased by 1.35 times. 'Hogam' cultivar are expected to contribute to the diversification of domestic mushroom cultivars.

양자점은 공간적으로 세 방향 모두 전하의 운동을 제한하는 0차원 구조로 불연속적인 상태 밀도를 가진다. 이런 양자점의 특성은 광통신용 소자, 레이저 다이오드 등과 같은 광학 및 전자 장치에 응용될 수 있기 때문에 많은 주목을 받아 활발히 연구되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 MBE 장비를 이용하여 GaAs 기판위에 InAs 양자점을 성장시키는 동안 As의 공급을 임의로 차단시켜 양자점 형성 조건을 변화시킨 시료들의 광학적 특성을 Photoluminescence (PL) 와 Time-resolved PL (TRPL) 실험을 이용하여 분석하였다. GaAs (001) 기판 위에 GaAs buffer layer를 $610^{\circ}C$에서 성장한 후, $470^{\circ}C$에서 As 공급 조건 변화에 따른 InAs 양자점을 성장하였다. 양자점을 성장한 후 GaAs cap layer를 $610^{\circ}C$에서 성장하였다. InAs 양자점 시료들은 In을 20초 공급하는 동안 As의 공급과 차단을 각각 1초, 2초, 3초의 일정한 간격으로 반복하였다. 10 K에서 각각의 시료들의 PL을 측정한 결과 As 공급과 차단을 2초씩 반복한 T2시료에서 PL 세기가 가장 좋게 나타났으며, 3초씩 반복한 T3시료에서 가장 나쁘게 나타났다. PL 피크는 공급과 차단을 1초씩 반복한 T1 시료가 1.23 eV, T2 시료가 1.24 eV, T3 시료가 1.26 eV에 나타났으며, As의 차단시간이 증가함에 따라 PL 피크가 높은 에너지로 이동함을 보였다. 발광파장에 따른 PL 소멸은 파장이 증가함에 따라 점차 느려지다가 PL 피크 근처에서 가장 느린 소멸곡선을 보이고, 파장이 더 증가하였을 때 점차 빠르게 소멸하였다. As 공급 조건의 변화에 따라 InAs 양자점의 크기와 밀도, 모양 등이 변하는 것을 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) image를 통하여 확인하였으며, PL과 TRPL을 이용하여 InAs 양자점의 광학적 특성을 분석하였다.

Bradyrhizobium japonicum is a soil bacterium with a unique ability to infect the roots of leguminous plants and establish a nitrogen-fixing symbiosis, which has been used as a microbial manure. In this study, we examined the stress response after pretreatment of cells with cold temperature. When pre-treated with cold temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) for 16 hr, B. japonicum increased the viability in subsequent stress-conditions such as alcohol, $H_2O_2$, heat, and dehydration. For cold adpatation, cultured B. japonicum was exposed to $4^{\circ}C$. Upon subsequent exposure to various conditions, the number of adapted cells pretreated by cold adaptation was 10-1000 fold higher than that of non-adaptated ones. It appeared de novo protein synthesis occurred during adaptation, because a protein synthesis inhibitor, chloramphenicol abolished the increased stress tolerance. By using a degenerate PCR primer set, a csp homolog was amplified from B. japonicum genome and sequenced. The deduced partial amino acid sequence of the putative Csp (Cold shock protein) shares a significant similarity with known Csp proteins of other bacteria.

This study is concerned with health damages from $SO_2$ under different assumptions on the relationship between air concentrations and their marginal health impacts. $SO_2$ concentration profiles resulting under emission caps, and a system of tradable emission allowances are compared. Using slopes and curvatures of the health response function consistent with evidence in medical literature, emission caps are shown to lead to lower aggregate damages under all considered parameters, an advantage of $26~452 million. The benefit of emission caps over tradable allowances increases with the curvature of the response function, but falls with its slope. The advantage of emission caps in terms of environmental damages is never overturned completely for the considered functional forms. The marginal damage function would have to be steeper than what the current medical evidence suggests for price instruments to outperform emission caps in terms of aggregate damages. With other welfare consequences included-emission abatement costs, consumer and producer surpluses, and government revenue-emission caps always lead to a $3.7~4.1 billion greater measure of social welfare.

큰가리비는 자웅이체이다. 난환형성과정은 난모세포의 발달정도에 다라 다르게 나타나고 있다. 난자형성과정은 난원세포기, 전난황형성난모세포기, 초기난황형성난모세포기, 후기난황형성난모세포기, 성숙난모세포기의 연속적인 5단계의 과정으로 나눌 수 있었다. 전난황형성기 난모세포질 내에서는 핵주변 구역에 골지장치와 수많은 공포들 및 미토콘드리아들이 출현하고 있는데 이들은 차후, 지방적 형성에 관여한다. 난황형성전기난모세포(previtellogenic oocyte)에서는 지방적 및 지질과립들이 핵막 근처에서 출현하여 피질층쪽으로 분산되는 반면, 같은 발달 단계의 난모세포질의 피질구역에서는 피질과립들(단백질성 난황과립)이 처음으로 생성되어 난황막 근처의 피질층에서 핵주변 구역쪽으로 분산.분포된다. 난황형성후기 난모세포에서는 세포질 내의 골지장치, 공포, 미토콘드리아, 그리고 조면소포체들이 자율합성에 의해 난황과립 형성에 관여하고 있다. 반면 외인성 물질들인 지질형태의 과립들, 다량의 글리코겐 입자들이 생식상피 내에서 출현하고 있는데. 이들 물질이 생식상피에서 난황막 구조물인 미세융모를 통해 난황형성 후기 난모세포의 날질 내로 통과해 들어가는 현상이 관찰되었다. 이와같은 현상은 난황형성이 일어날 때에 heterosynthesis가 일어나고 있음을 시사한다. 완숙난모세포의 난경은 약 50~60$\mu\textrm{m}$이다. 정자형성과정은 정원세포기, 제1차정모세포기, 제2차정모세포기, 정세포기, 정자기의 연속적인 5단계로 나눌수 있었다. 정셍포기에서 정자로 변태되는 과정 중에 침체의 분화과정이 있는데 이에는 1. Golgi phase, 2. Cap phase 3. acrosome phase, 4. maturation phase의 단계를 거쳐 첨체가 완성된다. 정자는 원시적 형태를 이루고 있으며 4개의 미토콘드리아가 부핵을 형성하고 있다. 완숙정자 두부의 길이는 대략 $3 \mu$m 이며, 미부의 길이는 약 $30 \mu$m정도이다. 정자 미부편모의 axoneme은 중앙의 2개의 미세소관(microtubule)과 주변에 위치한 9개의 2중 미세소구관(microtublue)으로 이루어져 있다.

In Total Water Pollutant Load Management System of Korea, unit load approach based on land register data is currently used for the estimation of non-point pollutant load. However, a problem raised that land register data could not always reflect the actual land surface coverages which determine runoff characteristics of non-point pollution sources. As a way to overcome this, we tried to establish quantitative relationships between the aerial images (0.4m resolution) which reflect actual land surface coverages and the land registration maps according to the 19 major designated land-use categories in Kyeongan watershed. Analyses showed different relationships according to the land-use categories. Only a few land-use categories including forestry, road and river showed essentially identical and some categories such as orchard, parking lot and sport utility site showed no relationships at all between image data and land register data. Except for the two cases, all the other categories showed statistically significant linear relationships between image data and land register data. The analyses indicate that using high resolution aerial maps is a better way to estimate non-point pollutant load. If the aerial maps are not available, application of the linear relationships as conversion factors of land register data to image data could be an possible option to estimate non-point pollutant loads for the specific land-use categories in Kyeongan watershed.
