A regional economy is characterized as a spatial economy. However the literature shows that it has been treated as a point economy since space is little recognized in regional modeling due to mathematical complication. This leads to the fact that regional model does not sufficiently represent regional characteristic. This paper attempts to construct a regional growth model in a partial equilibrium framework specifically taking into consideration land as a primary factor. The model is formulated largely neoclassical. Labor is assumed to move in response to differences in the wage rate, while capital is perfectly mobile across regions. The paper shows that two growth equilibrium points exist, one stable equilibrium point and the other unstable equilibrium point. The unstable growth equilibrium indicates the existence of minimum threshold that a region must overcome the minimum threshold to grow constantly. Consequently, directions of regional growth are characterized by two growth paths depending on the initial condition of a region. That is to say, a region below the minimum threshold is converging toward the lower stable equilibrium point over time. When a regional economy initially lies above the minimum threshold, it will grow forever. A regional economy is not thus necessarily converging a stationary is not thus necessarily converging a stationary equilibrium point through factor movement. Finally, the impacts of the presence of agglomeration economies and diseconomies are analyzed through the phase diagram. The paper also shows that agglomeration economies result in lowering the minimum threshold and in escalating the level of stable equilibrium However, when agglomeration diseconomies prevail, the results are opposite, i.e., rising the minimum threshold of growth and lowering the growth level of stable equilibrium.

The geometrical and electronic structure of epitaxially grown Ge on Si(100) and Si(111) surfaces has been studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. Since Ge atoms could be distinguished from Si atoms by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and voltage dependent STM images, the growth mode of the added layer could be studied. On the (100) surface with a (2${\times}$1) reconstruction, Ge overlayer grow preferentially on the B type step edges at 720K. On the (111) surface, Ge overlayer also grow on the step edges with (7${\times}$7) and (5${\times}$5) structure depending on their coverage and annealing temperature.

The effects of austenitizing temperatures and times and cooling rate on the characteristics of continuous air cooling have been investigated for 0.3%C-Mn steels microalloyed with vanadium. Transformation start temperatures have been found to be measured from temperature-time curve directly obtained with continuous air cooling and to decrease with increasing austenitizing temperature, cooling rate and Mn contents. The coarsening behavior of austenite grain size has been measured to abnormally grow at $1050^{\circ}C$ and rapidly grow at $1200^{\circ}C$. It has been found that the volume fraction of pearlite was linealy proportional to the reciprocal square root of austenite grain size. The hardness has been measured to increase with increasing cooling rate up to $250^{\circ}C/min.$ and to remain relatively unchanged in the range of $250{\sim}400^{\circ}C/min.$ showing that hardness valves for steel with a higher Mn content increase more than those for steel with a lower Mn content. The impact property has been found to decrease with increasing of austenite grain size but does not linealy change with the reciprocal square root of austenite grain size.

Amaryllis ($Hippeastrum{\times}johnsonii$) is commonly propagated by three methods: seeds, offset bulblets, and twin scaling. Since the number and size of bulblets produced by these methods are low, we conducted an experiment to evaluate different bulb cutting methods for propagation. For this purpose, bulbs (circumference of 30 - 35 cm) were sectioned or notched into 8, 12, or 16 segments or twin-scaled into 48, 72, or 96 segments for bulblet formation. Our results show that the largest number of bulblets was produced by the twin scaling method, but they take longer to grow to a final, commercial size. Sectioning and notching resulted in larger, but fewer bulblets than twin-scaling. Compared to notching, sectioning provided more space for the bulblets to grow, and is therefore the recommended method. While increasing the number of sections cut from a single bulb resulted in a larger number of bulblets, the diameter of the bulblets decreased. Therefore, sectioning the bulb into 8 segments was the best method for producing an acceptable number of vigorous bulblets.

A total of 98 strains of Bordetella bronckiseptica isolated from pigs affected the infectious atrophic rhinitis(AR) during 1978 were surveyed for drug sensitivity to 26 chemotherapeutic agents, and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC), incidence rate of resistant strain and resistant patern from the strains which were obtained from the different pig farm in Jeonnam province were examined. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Most of the strains tested were resistant to Ampicillin (AB, PC), spiramycin(SPO, sulfa drugs (SD) (MIC:$400.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and streptomycin(SM) (MIC:$200.0{{\mu}g/ml}$). Of the 75.0% of strains were also resistant to penicillin(PC) (MIC:$200.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and of the 14.3 of strains were inhibited to grow to tetracycline(TC), chlortetracycline(CTC), oxytetracyc-line(OTC), erythromycin(EM), tylosin(TS), leucomycin (LM) and chloramphenicol (CP) (MIC:$6.25{{\mu}g/ml}$). On the other hand, most of the strains tested were inhibited to grow to kanamycin(KM), gentamycin(GM) neomycin(NM) (MIC:$25.0{{\mu}g/ml}$) and to colistin(CL) (MIC:$12.5{{\mu}g/ml}$). 2. Incidence rate of resistant strains to main chemotherapeutic agents was 100.0% of sulfa drugs, 96.4% of streptomycin, 85.7% of penicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and erythromycin, 46.4% of gentamycin, 17.9% of colistin and 0.0% of kanamycin and nalidixic acid.

Since generalization of cold storage of raw and processed milk, psychrotrophic bacteria has become more important. The number present in raw milk is related to sanitary conditions during pro-duction and to length and temperature of storage before pasteurization. Growth of psychrotrophs In raw milk often reduces the quality of pasteurized products. Recently, some pathogenic bacteria like Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus cereus are reported to grow at low temperature and cause food poisoning. The presence of gram positive psychrotrophic bacteria which can survive pasteurization can limit the shelf life of pasteurized milk during extended storage and the survival of heat stable proteases and lipases produced by gram negative psychrotrophic bacteria often brings about proteolytic damage to milk protein in the products. Therefore, in order to prevent the deteorioration of milk and milk products by the growth of psychrotrophs, it is necessary to cool down the temperature of raw milk as soon as possible after milking and to keep the temperature below 5t during storage at farm. As psychrotrophic bacteria become readily predominant in raw milk under refregeration, it can be considered to change the traditional incubating temperature for SPC from 30${\sim}$32$^{\circ}C$ to 25${\sim}$27$^{\circ}C$ at which the psychrotrophs prefer to grow. The psychrotrophic bacterial count(PBC) is of limited use in dairy industry, because of the 10 days incubation period. Although estimates of psychrotrophic bacteria may provide an acceptable shelf-life prediction, there is no single, generally acceptable rapid method for replacing the PBC at the moment. Consequently, faster method for esmating psychrotrophic bacteria has to be developed.

The sea cucumber, Apostichopus japonicus, is becoming an important aquaculture species in China, Japan and Korea. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biological performance of a tubular type of subsurface cage for sea cucumber grow-out by in-situ tests. The cage structure was constructed of PP (polypropylene) frames and PP tubes (${\phi}130mm{\times}24pieces$). A set of tests were conducted at a depth of 15 m near Seosaeng, Ulsan, Korea for 295 days (23 July, 2012 to 13 May, 2013). A total of 155 sea cucumbers were used and fed a mixed diet containing mud, mineral, wheat, fish meal, etc (3% of their body weight). At the end of the experiments, sea cucumber showed a higher survival rate in feed shelter (77.14%) rather than no feed shelter (64.71%). The specific growth rate (SGR) of sea cucumbers in feed condition (0.04% $day^{-1}$) was higher than that of no feed culture animals (-0.49% $day^{-1}$) during total experimental periods. The result was able to find a no significance difference in survival rate but a significance difference in SGR under feed and no feed treatments.

In July 2001, a destructive stem rot of tatarian aster(Aster taturicus) was occurred sporadically in exhibition farm of Gyeongsangnam-do Agricultural Research and Extension Services, in Hamyang, Korea. The fungus also caused collar and crown rot and systemic wilt or blight of whole plant. White mycelium spread over stems and petioles of infected plants and sclerotia formed on the old lesions and near the soil surface. The fungus showed maximum mycelial growth was obtained around $30^{\circ}C$ but did not grow below $5^{\circ}C$ or above $45^{\circ}C$. The mycelial width ranges $4.2{\sim}10.4{\mu}m$. and the color is white, usually many narrow mycelial stand grow in the aerial mycelium and formed clamp connection. Numerous sclerotia were formed in artificial media like PDA at $30^{\circ}C$. The shape of sclerotia were sphere and $1.0{\sim}3.2{\mu}m$ in diameter. The fungus was isolated repeatedly from the infected, tissues and confirmed its pathogenecity to aster and identified as Sclerotium rolfsii. This is the first report that Sclerotium rolfsii causes stem rot of tatarian aster in Korea.

Recently we observed and treated a 49-year-old postmenopausal female with enlarged uterine myoma who taking through the hormone replacement therapy(H.R.T). We regard the cause of this case as insufficiency of kidney-yin(腎陰虛), stagnation or the phlegm and pathologic blood(痰瘀阻滯) and H.R.T. ln general cases, myomas grow in size if estrogen and progesterone is present and do not increase in size if estrogen and progesterone levels are low. So if a woman can get to menopause without having symptoms from the myomas, then it is likely that she will never have problems from the growths that require treatment. But Taking postmenopausal estrogen and progestin replacement therapy can cause myomas to grow. So we recommended her to stop the H.R.T. gave herbal-medicine and acupuncture therapy. Thus we could get a good result as follows. The uterine myomas were significantly declined but no change on it's characters. Hot flush and general conditions were also significantly improved And body weight was lessened for about 4.7kg. But vaginal dryness was appeared, So we planed another therapy for that symptom.

Epidemiological characteristics of a total of 48 swine herd with diarrhea or a history of diarrhea in Gyeongsang-do between 1999 and 2000 were performed to evaluate the prevalence of Salmonella spp., their serotypes and antibiotic resistance patterns with respect to the different stages of swine production system. A total of 139 Salmonella spp. (21%) were isolated from 662 fecal samples and the overall herd prevalence of Salmonella spp. ranged from 12.5% to 88%. The average prevalence of Salmonella spp. from swine stages of suckling/nursery, grow/finisher and sow stage were 25.7%, 19.2% and 18.4%, respectively. Ten serotypes of Salmonella spp. were identified with a predominance of S. Typhimurium, S. Derby and S. Agona. Twenty-five isolates (18%) were found to be untypable. One hundred and two Salmonella isolates (73.4%) resistant to more than 1 antibiotic were characterized by 24 diverse resistance patterns, and their frequency of antibiotic resistance was highest in grow/finisher stage (83.3%). Resistance to tetracycline (TE; 67.6%), sulfamethoxazole (SU; 46.8%) and streptomycin (ST; 28%) was most common and the most common resistance patterns were TE SU (31.4%), TE (21.6%) and TE SU ST (20.6%) in order.
