  • This study aims to research the Kisho Kurokawa's architectural concepts and expressions that are comprised of various and complex theories system for Korean's globalization of architecture. Kurokawa's architectural concepts are composed by Metabolism, Metamorphosis and Symbiosis. And intermediate zone, ambiguity, multivalence are theories that work as media in changing process levels to three main concepts and these are used as media of Metamorphosis which embody Symbiosis. Metabolism include concepts of Metamorphosis and Symbiosis. Symbiosis is comprise of concepts of Metabolism and Metamorphosis, and is a ultimate goal of these three main concepts. Metamorphosis works as a medium in changing process levels from Metabolism to Symbiosis. The architectural expressions are embodied according to these main three concepts and theories of media in changing process levels. And these architectural expressions are analyzed by three elements as follows: form, material & color, structure & technique.

  • We determined the effects of starvation, water temperature, and water flow on the onset of metamorphosis in leptocephali of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica. Leptocephali larger than 50 mm (ca. 200 days old) were reared in 10-L tanks under different feeding, water temperature, and water flow regimes. Fasted leptocephali metamorphosed earlier and faster than did the fed ones. Metamorphosis was faster in the high water flow tank (1.2 L/min) than in the tank with flow at 0.6 L/min. The duration of metamorphosis was slightly shorter at $26^{\circ}C$ than at $23^{\circ}C$. To conclude, starvation induced the metamorphosis of artificially produced leptocephali larger than 50 mm TL. Increased water flow and water temperature both appear to induce and shorten metamorphosis.

  • The movie, X-men, develops the narrative with metamorphosis as the main motif making visual effects of characters and background. The objective of this study is to suggest that the metamorphosis motif can be materialized based on the virtuality of "pataphysics" as one of the genre characteristics of superhero movies and the newly materialized virtuality can be aesthetic characteristics of metamorphosis motif movies. With the virtuality that has its own characteristics with metaphorical symbols such as satire on an absurd society out of existing traditions, pataphysics started in mid-twentieth century and has had an impact on art movements of dadaism, surrealism, pop art, and postmodernism. Analyzing the characteristics of pataphysics which were shown in these artworks, we applied it to metamorphosis scenes of the movie. As a result, we found out that it visualized the shape and aspect of inner and outer strength of a superhero with aesthetic characteristics of metamorphosis scenes and it realized the presence, hybridity, and ex-formal properties of pataphysics consisting of overlapped virtual and physical reality, with technical virtuality.

  • Elementary preservice teachers' understanding about the insect molt and metamorphosis was examined. Data were collected through the paper-pencil test of 448 junior students at a National University of Education. The instrument used was developed by Son(2003) and modified for the test. The results are as follows: First, Only 3.1$\%$ of students had a scientific concept on the molt periods in the insect life cycle. Students had an alternative conception that molt occurs either only in the larval period (29.9$\%$) or only in the period from pupa to adult (22.3$\%$). The percentage of the students thinking that molt occurs in the period from larva to pupa was low. Second, 98$\%$ of students stated that molt has to do with the larval growth, but 39.1$\%$ of students had an alternative conception that molt occurs after the larval growth at each instar. 25.1$\%$ had a conception that molt is related with the larval growth, but did not show any further understanding. Third, most students understood the correct meaning of metamorphosis. 34..2$\%$ of students had an alternative conception that metamorphosis occurs only in the period changing from pupa to adult, and only a few thought that it occurs in the period from larva to pupa. 24.8$\%$ of students had a scientific concept on the periods in which metamorphosis occurs. Fourth, some students understood the hatching process as molt in the sense that the egg shell is taken off (21.0$\%$), and as metamorphosis in terms of the appearance change from egg to larva (25.0$\%$). Fifth, 35.5$\%$ of students selected bees as an insect of incomplete metamorphosis, and 35.3$\%$ responded 'I have no idea', showing that they had poor understanding about the insect life cycle.

  • The purpose of this thesis is to investigate about the various metamorphosis methodology, which is one of the specific skill being used widely in contemporary metal-craft. Even though this methodology is being investigated actively in the other genre, it is not easy to find the example and various experimentation for further expression than in metal craft. The metamorphosis had been dealed little by little before the metal-craft is being modernized. Recentely, the experimentation is more deeply and widely held; because the deconstruction methodology, which is the skill to express the differance in the meaning: material's archetype and dealing with the symbol and metaphorical meanings concealed, is being developed. The special skills of the metamorphosis are Mokumegane, reticulation, Fusing, and electro form Mixed Media metamorphosis; these investigation is being further developed with metal alloy methodology.

  • The meaning of 'Metamorphosis' is transformation or disguise. It also means the process of modification from 'Image A' to 'Image B'. 'Metamorphosis' which has derived from many race's myth shows the various field of 'Literature', 'Music' and 'Art'. Through the development of cinematography, the still image in 'Film' and 'Animation' could be combined with time and the process of 'Metamorphosis' has been observed. Specially individual and fantastic forms in animation have created by many animators, because every factor of individual image in animation could be transformed and modified. And 'Metamorphosis' shows the sector of metaphor which is based on narration and the functional scene conversion in animation. 'Metamorphosis' which includes magical and fantastic character also provides the hilarious effect and the special film language to us.

  • This experiment is to search what some chemicals polluting water have an effect on the Rana nigromaculata Hallowell, in the survival rate and the metamorphosis speed from a tadpole to a young frog. 1. The fatal thickness by some agricultural chemicals and copper sulfate is different from one another. The fatal rate in the contrast group is 15 percent, and particulary Dithane M-45 is the most among the all reagents. 2. The effect on the anamorphosis is very severe. In the case of contrast group, it appears to stage 25, but it is not to appear at the group used agricultural chemicals. 3. The less the thickness of that is, the less the influence of the survival rate and the metamorphosis speed. 4. The density of the agricultural chemical is in inverse proportion to the survival rate and the metamorphosis speed, and the other side, the fatal rate is proportion.

  • The compositions of amino acid in 6 monocultured benthic diatoms used in aquaculture of Haliotis discus hannai were analyzed, and effects of 15 artificial synthetic amino acids on the settlement and metamorphosis of H. discus hannai larvae. Results showed that the content of L-aspartic acid was highest in all diatoms, and that of L-glutamic acid was second high. In experiment using settlement slat without benthic diatom attached, the highest settlement rate (33.3 ${\pm}$ 8.8%) was obtained with L-glutamic acid, and a higher value (16.7 ${\pm}$ 3.3%) was found with L-aspartic acid at 24 h after experimental commencement, compared to that of control (8.6 ${\pm}$ 5.1%). 80 h later the metamorphosis rates of L-glutamic acid (86.7 ${\pm}$ 10.7%) and L-aspartic acid (80.0 ${\pm}$ 3.3%) groups were higher than control group(0) and other amino acids significantly. The response rate of L-glutamic acid was the highest (62.0%), and those of L-aspartic acid (30.0%) and L-threonine (25.3%) groups were also significantly higher than control group. In the experiment using settlement slat with benthic diatom attached, the best effect of various amino acids on induction of larval settlement was obtained with L-glutamic (82.0 ${\pm}$ 6.9%) and L-aspartic acid (78.7 ${\pm}$ 5.1%) at 24 h after experimental commencement. The settlement rates of L-histidine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-phenylalanine, and L-tyrosine groups were significantly lower than control group. The same differences in the metamorphosis rate at 56 h after experimental commencement and in the response rate were found. It should be noted that after 80 h the metamorphosis rates of L-histidine (74.0 ${\pm}$ 12.0%) and L-lysine (87.0 ${\pm}$ 8.8%) declined rapidly compared to those of 56 h (8.0 ${\pm}$ 12.0%; 7.7 ${\pm}$ 12.0%).

  • This paper examines the ink on paper technique that is being used in the animation works by the Canadian filmmaker Michēle Cournoyner from the National Film Board of Canada. It also discusses how in her animated film "Soif"(2013) this technique has been applied to compose the narrative significance and symbols through the use of metamorphosis as a form of artistic expression. Cournoyner had used the ink of paper technique as a means to abandon realistic representations of movement, and in "Soif" through expressive use of metamorphosis, portrayed changes of images in character and object not through chronological order of narrative flow, but through the body of the female character, which had been represented by the improvisation of the ink on paper technique in order to express the surrealistic and unconscious state of mind in animation. Also, the use of Surrealist automatism had been incorporated to evoke the film towards a form of abstract and metaphysical expression, which in terms of expression and technique connects with the character in the animation to give emphasis to its relevancy with the subject matter of the work.
