The "Barents Oscillation (BO)", first designated by Paul Skeie (2000), is an anomalous recurring atmospheric circulation pattern of high relevance for the climate of the Nordic Seas and Siberia, which is defined as the second Emperical Orthogonal Function (EOF) of monthly winter sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies, where the leading EOF is the Arctic Oscillation (AO). BO, however, did not attracted much interest. In recent two decades, variability of BO tends to increase. In this study, we analyzed the spatio-temporal structures of Atmospheric internal modes such as Arctic Oscillation (AO) and Barents Oscillation (BO) and examined how these are related with Arctic warming in recent decade. We identified various aspects of BO, not dealt in Skeie (2000), such as upper-level circulation and surface characteristics for extended period including recent decade and examined link with other surface variables such as sea-ice and sea surface temperature. From the results, it was shown that the BO showed more regionally confined spatial pattern compared to AO and has intensified during recent decade. The regional dipolelar structure centered at Barents sea and Siberia was revealed in both sea-level pressure and 500 hPa geopotential height. Also, BO showed a stronger link (correlation) with sea-ice and sea surface temperature especially over Barents-Kara seas suggesting it is playing an important role for recent Arctic amplification. BO also showed high correlation with Ural Blocking Index (UBI), which measures seasonal activity of Ural blocking. Since Ural blocking is known as a major component of Eurasian winter monsoon and can be linked to extreme weathers, we suggest deeper understanding of BO can provide a missing link between recent Arctic amplification and increase in extreme weathers in midlatitude in recent decades.

This was performed to investigate the antiulcer effects of Aloe vera on the stomach ulcer induced by restraint and water-immersion stress in rats. For this experiment, 60 male Sprague-Dawley strain were used. The experimental groups were divided into five: a control(CA) and 4 aloe treatment groups. Each dose of aloe was 50 mg/kg BW(AA), 100mg/kg BW(AB), 200 mg/kg BW(AC), and 400 mg/kg BW(AD). The rats were allocated to each group by 12 and observed for 4 weeks. The results are as following. 1. The stomach surface pH in each group showed no significant difference, byt the values of aloe treatment groups were higher than the value of the control group. 2. The gastric wall mucus was significantly increased in all aloe treatment groups(p<0.05) compared with the control group. Especially in AC and AD group the differences were higher(p<0.01). 3. At shear rate rate 11.25, 45.0, 90.0, 225.0 sec-1, whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity were measured. Most of the values of aloe treatment groups were significantly low compared with those of the control group(P<0.05). 4. The ulcer index of aloe treatment groups were significantly low campared with control group(p<0.05). Especially in AC and AD group the differences were more significant(p<0.01). 5. Less severe ulcers were observed in AA and AB group than in the control group. Tissues of AC and AD group had only slight ulcers and necrosis of tissue was not observed in these groups. Especially in AD group, there was more mucus than other groups and it seemed that alove vera stimulated the epithelial regeneration. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the oral administration of Alove vera results in protection of stomach ulcer by stimulating the secretion of gastric mucus and the circulation of blood.

Objectives : The study on the affected factor of the pulse wave is important in the pulse wave part. The purpose of this study is to secure the objective data of pulse-wave parameter on the food intakes affected the radial pulse-wave. Methods : The study was carried out healthy adult men. We researched the blood circulation index and the changes of the pulse factor according to 'before meal', 'right after meal', '30 minute after meal', '1 hour after meal' and '2 hours after meal'. We analyzed the changes according the time schedule. And analyzed the difference between 'before meal' and 'after meal'on the pulse-wave parameter. Results : The results were as follows. 1. HR, ECO and ECI were showed the highest increase 'after meal' and the significant decrease in '2 hours after meal' with 'before meal' degree. 2. In the pulse energy, 'left hand average pulse energy' was showed the highest increase 'after meal', and 'right hand average pulse energy' and 'right Quan(關)' were showed the highest increase in '30 minute after meal'. 3. h1 of '6 part of left and right hand'(Chon-Quan-Chuk, 寸關尺) was showed the significant difference statistically in 'left Chuk' and 'right Quan'. 4. T was showed the highest 'before meal' and the lowest after meal in '6 part of left and right' (Chon-Quan-Chuk, 寸關尺). 5. RAI was showed the highest 'before meal' in '6 part of left and right'(Chon-Quan-Chuk 寸關尺). Conclusions : From the about results, the food intakes was considered important factor of pulse formation. On the factor affected the pulse, we considered that continuous study needs for the future.

Purpose: This study was performed to define the drying characteristics of sorghum by developing thin layer drying equations and evaluating various grain drying equations. Thin layer drying equations lay the foundation characteristics to establish the thick layer drying equations, which can be adopted to determine the design conditions for an agricultural dryer. Methods: The drying rate of sorghum was measured under three levels of drying temperature ($40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $60^{\circ}C$) and relative humidity (30%, 40%, and 50%) to analyze the drying process and investigate the drying conditions. The drying experiment was performed until the weight of sorghum became constant. The experimental constants of four thin layer drying models were determined by developing a non-linear regression model along with the drying experiment results. Result: The half response time (moisture ratio = 0.5) of drying, which is an index of the drying rate, was increased as the drying temperature was high and relative humidity was low. When the drying temperature was $40^{\circ}C$ at a relative humidity (RH) of 50%, the maximum half response time of drying was 2.8 h. Contrastingly, the maximum half response time of drying was 1.2 h when the drying temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ at 30% RH. The coefficient of determination for the Lewis model, simplified diffusion model, Page model, and Thompson model was respectively 0.9976, 0.9977, 0.9340, and 0.9783. The Lewis model and the simplified diffusion model satisfied the drying conditions by showing the average coefficient of determination of the experimental constants and predicted values of the model as 0.9976 and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.0236. Conclusion: The simplified diffusion model was the most suitable for every drying condition of drying temperature and relative humidity, and the model for the thin layer drying is expected to be useful to develop the thick layer drying model.

고성군에 위치한 폐구리광산의 중금속 오염범위와 정도 및 환경위해성을 평가하기 위하여 광산지역으로부터 토양과 벼를 채취하여 중금속 함량을 분석하였다. 중금속 함량은 논토양에 비해 산토양에서 훨씬 높았다. 중금속 전함량은 산토양에서 Cu>Zn>Pb>As>Cr>Cd, 논토양에서 Zn>Pb>Cu>Cr>As>Cd 순으로 감소하였으며, 0.1/1N HCl에 의한 중금속 용출량은 산토양에서 Cu>Pb>Zn>As>Cd>Cr, 논토양에서 Pb>Cu>Zn>As>Cd>Cr 순으로 나타났다. 중금속 용출비는 시료채취지점에 따라 매우 다양하였지만 평균적으로는 Cd(16%)>Pb(10%)>Cu(9%)>As(4.5%)>Zn-Cr(${\le}2.5%$)의 순이었다. 조사대상 토양들은 지각평균값에 비해 중금속이 부화되어 있으며 그 순서는 $As{\ge}Cd>Pb>Zn>Cu>Cr$이었다. 토양의 중금속 전함량 또는 용출량으로부터 계산한 오염지수는 중금속 오염이 폐구리광산 특히 삼산제일광산 주변의 산토양에 국한되어 있음을 나타내었다. 현미 중의 중금속함량은 As $nd{\sim}0.87mg/kg,\;Cd\;0.02{\sim}0.34mg/kg,\;Cu\;1.01{\sim}6.25mg/kg,\;Mn\;13.4{\sim}43.2mg/kg,\;Pb\;0.09{\sim}2.83mg/kg$ 및 $Zn\;16.5{\sim}79.1mg/kg$으로 심각하게 오염된 수준은 아니었다. 토양 pH와 함께 중금속의 용출 및 분포특성들은 이 지역 중금속 오염의 대부분이 중금속의 용해 순환보다는 폐광석과 맥석광물의 쇄설성 이동에 의해 진행되고 있음을 시사하였다.
