  • 본 연구에서는 자체일관적인 DFT+DMFT 계산을 통해 철의 3d 전자의 상관관계가 LiFeAs와 NaFeAs의 전자구조와 페르미 면 겹싸기 등에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 이들은 모두 철계 초전도체의 초전도성 형성에 매우 중요한 역할을 가지고 있다. DFT+DMFT 계산에서 얻어진 LiFeAs의 스펙트럼은, DFT에서 얻어진 띠 구조에 비해 매우 약한 페르미 면 겹싸기 현상을 보이며, NaFeAs 의 경우 DMFT 에서도 페르미 면 겹싸기 현상이 어느 정도 남아있는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 이는 실험에서 보고된 ARPES 결과와 일치함을 확인했다.

  • 머리뿔가위벌을 사과에 더욱 효과적으로 사용하기 위하여 중생종 '홍로'와 만생종 '후지'에서 머리뿔가위벌의 영소활동과 화분매개효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과, '후지'에서의 영소활동이 '홍로'보다 2.5배 많았다. 영소율과 증식률에서 '후지'가 '홍로' 보다 각각 1.5배, 3.8배 높았다. 품종에 따른 화분매개효과를 조사한 결과, 중심화결실률에서 '후지'가 '홍로'보다 1.6배 높았다. 과실의 품질에서 사축과율은 '후지'가 '홍로'보다 2.5배 낮았고, 사과종자의 수는 1.9배 많았다. 이에 대한 원인을 밝히기 위해 개화기 기상환경과 머리뿔가위벌의 활동량에 대한 상관관계를 분석한 결과, 머리뿔가위벌의 활동에 영향을 미치는 주된 요소는 온도로 나타났다 (R2 = 0.578). '후지'(평균 17.4 ~ 최고 24.1℃)의 개화기 기온은 '홍로'(평균 12.5 ~ 최고 20.2℃)보다 4 ~ 5℃ 높았기 때문에 '후지'에서 영소활동과 화분매개효과가 '홍로'보다 큰 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 조생종 '홍로'에서는 머리뿔가위벌보다 기상환경에 영향을 적게받는 뒤영벌과 같은 화분매개곤충을 사용하는 것이 권장되며, 만생종 '후지'에서는 머리뿔가위벌의 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 사과 재배 농가에게 사과의 안정적인 생산을 위한 중요한 정보로 사용될 수 있다. 아울러 기후변화에 인하여 머리뿔가위벌의 화분매개활동이나 증식률이 변할 수 있다는 결론은 식생과 곤충상에 변화에 대한 근거로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

  • The electronic band structure and electrical properties of KMo4O6 containing chains of condensed molybdenum octahedra are analyzed by means of the extended Hu&ckel tight-binding method. KMo4O6 has partially filled bands of 1D as well as 3D character. They also exhibit the anisotropic band dispersions with bandwidths much larger along the c* axis than along the directions perpendicular to it. Thus, conduction electrons are essentially delocalized along the c* direction (i.e., the chain of condensed molybdenum octahedra) in the solid. The 1D band of two partially filled d-block bands leads to Fermi surface nesting with the wave vector q=0.3c*. The CDW instability due to this nesting is expected to cause the phase transition associated with the resistivity anomaly at low temperature. The characteristics of metallic behavior in the crystallographic ab plane are explained on the basis of the unnested 2D Fermi surfaces.

  • Nest density was determined and tree and soil characteristics around Nycticorax nycticorax breeding sites and non-breeding sites on Bamsum Island in Seoul were analyzed from May 2005 to October 2006 to identify breeding site preferences of N. nycticorax and the effects of N. nycticorax nesting density on nesting tree structure and soil characteristics. N. nycticorax preferred trees of low height ($3.5{\sim}6$ m) and small diameter at breast height in high density Salix communities. Excrement of heron juveniles was dropped on the soil under the nests. The soil nutrient content under nests (P: 126.0 mg/kg, N: 202.8 mg/kg, EC: 549 ${\mu}S/cm$, pH 4.7) was much higher than that of control soils from Bamsum Island not enriched by heron excrement (P: 41.5 mg/kg, N: 42.0 mg/kg, EC: 342 ${\mu}S/cm$, pH 5.1). Formation of Salix communities on the shores of Bamsum Island is ongoing, and their structure has been directly influenced by annual flooding. After flooding, the nutrient content differences between heron-affected soils and control soils were not significant. This might be the reason that Salix communities on Bamsum were not affected by nesting herons as in other terrestrial communities where herons nest. This result indicates that flooding plays an important role in sustaining Salix communities on Bamsum Island where herons nest. The results of this study may increase understanding of N. nycticorax breeding behavior which may be useful for conservation planning.

  • The electronic behavior of a organic metal $(BEDT-TTE)_2$${Cu_5}{I_6}$ observed to be stable at low temperatures was examined by performing tight-binding band electronic structure calculations. The suppression of a metal-insulator tansition is likely to originate from its quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surface with no nesting, in agreement with experiment.

  • Domestic fowl still tend to exhibit very similar behavior such as perching, nesting and dust-bathing to their ancestor, Red Jungle Fowl (Gallus gallus), even though they have been domesticated for 8,000 years. If given the opportunity, they choose high place for staying at night, a dark place for laying eggs and do dust bath in litter area. Therefore, these behaviors are considered for very important role in improving the welfare of laying hens. In EU and some countries, farmers must provide perches, nests and litter for the housing of laying hens. An understanding of behavior can lead to enhance physical health, emotional condition and welfare of laying hens. Unfortunately, there is little information on behavior of laying hens in Korea. Therefore, we researched the literature on certain behavior of laying hens.

  • In Korea the population of breeding house swallow is continuously decreasing. In this regard this study was conducted to find out the overall population trend during 2001-2005. The areas of urban and rural sites were separated to estimate population. Also the sites in Yangpyung areas were chosen to compare population density between two sites during Mar-Aug, 2006. The house swallow had two breeding periods and I tried to correlated amount of days of incubation and number of eggs in the nest. After egg hatching the homing behavior also was estimated assuming lack of foods takes longer to bring foods back to the nest. This study signified that a long term study should be conducted for population change and spring arrival time due to climate change in Korea.

  • This study was conducted to compare the effects of layout of furniture (a perch, nest, and sandbox) in cages on behavior and welfare of hens. Two hundred and sixteen Hyline Brown laying hens were divided into five groups (treatments) with four replicates per group: small furnished cages (SFC), medium furnished cages type I (MFC-I), medium furnished cages type II (MFC-II), and medium furnished cages type III (MFC-III) and conventional cages (CC). The experiment started at 18 week of age and finished at 52 week of age. Hens' behaviors were filmed during the following periods: 8:00 to 10:00; 13:00 to 14:00; 16:00 to 17:00 on three separate days and two hens from each cage were measured for welfare parameters at 50 wk of age. The results showed that feeding and laying of all hens showed no effect by cage type (p>0.05), and the hens in the furnished cages had significantly lower standing and higher walking than CC hens (p<0.05). The birds in MFC-III had significant higher preening, scratching and feather-pecking behavior than in the other cages (p<0.05). No difference in nesting behavior was found in the hens between the furnished cages (p>0.05). The hens in MFC-I, -II, and -III showed a significant higher socializing behavior than SFC and CC (p<0.05). The lowest perching was for the hens in SFC and the highest perching found for the hens in MFC-III. Overall, the hens in CC showed poorer welfare conditions than the furnished cages, in which the feather condition score, gait score and tonic immobility duration of the hens in CC was significantly higher than SFC, MFC-I, MFC-II, and MFC-III (p<0.05). In conclusion, the furnished cage design affected both behavior and welfare states of hens. Overall, MFC-III cage design was better than SFC, MFC-I, and MFC-II cage designs.

  • In effort to conduct comparative study on the caregiving environment of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU) in both U. S and Korea, this study was been conducted first in the U.S. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to identify the physical environment and direct caregiving practices to lowbirth weight infants in NICU in the US. It also aims to examine the NICU outcome status and behavioral reponses of lowbirth weight infants. Methods : A study design using descriptive and inferential statistics was been conducted through an observational, field method. A sample of 15 preform infants admitted to NICU were recruited for the study. The subjects were those with birth weight between 1,000 gm to 1,500 gm, born at the gestation period of 27 to 33 weeks, and without any chromosomal or other genetic anomalies, major congenital infections, or maternal illness. Thirty minutes observation(three times of ten minutes of continuous observation)of the infant's behavior and physiological status, and an four-hour observation of the physical environment and direct care giving procedures were been conducted on the 3rd and 10th day after birth, and on the day of discharge from the NICU or at 34weeks postconception. The data to be collected were in four areas : the demograghic characteristics of the infants, the physical environment and care giving procedures, the frequency of the infant's designated behavior and physiological response, and NICU outcome variables. A descriptive analysis and Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson r were been applied according to variable characteristics. Results : 1. Mother's mean age was 29.47. The sample consisted of 6 males and 9 females. Mean gestational ages were 29.17 weeks. Mean birth weight was 1236.33g. Mean Apgar scores at one minute were 6.6, and 7.8 at five minutes. 2. The location for the incubator was in the distance from the light, X-ray screens and nursing station, in proximity to side-lamp, telephone and faucet on the third day after birth. The location for the incubator was in the distance from the light and radio on the tenth day and in proximity to nursing station on the day of dischage from the NICU or at 34weeks postconception. 3. Nesting was the most applying aids to the infants. And foot roll, shielding and plastic frame were frequently using by nurses for facilitating well modulated restful posture. 4. There were statistically significant changes in the patterns of physical environment included locating the infant's incubator and bedding, specific aids to self regulation on the 3rd and 10th day after birth, and on the day of discharge from the NICU or at 34weeks postconception. 5. Statistically significant changes were not appeared in the patterns of direct caregiving procedure to the infants included stress inducing or reducing manipulations on the 3rd and 10th day after birth, and on the day of discharge from the NICU or at 34weeks postconception. 6. The stress response of the infants in NICU were significantly reduced as the infants grow older. 7. There were not statistically significant correlation between the physical envronment and the stress responses of the infants in NICU. 8. There were statistically significant correlation between the direct caregiving procedure to the infants and the stress response of the infants in NICU in the second and third observation on the day three. 9. Average weight gain per day from birth to discharge was 38.73g, number of days in the hospital was 42.60, number of days before bottle feeding was 3.6. Postconception age starting bottle feed ing was 31/sup +5/ weeks. Number of days on mechanical ventilator was average 7.64, 11.42 was an average number of days of oxygen need. Conclusion : It, thus, appears that to minimize the sensorymotor stimulation for the low birthweight preterm infant in NICU, manipulation of care giving practices to the babies whatever the stress inducing or reducing procedures, have to be limited in the immediate early stage after birth. And it needed to be reexamine to identify the appropriate and specific physical environment and the patterns of direct caregiving to the low birthweight preform infant as the infants grow older in NICU.
