한국 동해 남부해역 일차생산계의 구조와 특성을 밝히기 위해 엽록소량, 식물플랑 크톤 현존량, 영양염 및 수리적 성분들을 C-14 방법에 의한 일차생산력 측정과 병행하 여 조사, 분석하였다. 그 결과 본는 구해역 일차생산력은 기존의 연구들에서 보다 높 은 284 - 4.574 mgC·m/SUP -2/·day/SUP -1/의 범위로 측정되었으며 평균값은 2,000 mgC·m/SUP -2/·day/SUP -1/로 계산되었다. 진광대 내의 일차생산자 현존량은 비교적 컸으나 해수중 무기 질소태 영양염은 높은 일차생산을 유지시키기는 어려운 낮은 농도 로 측정되었다. 따라서 질소태 영양염은 종속영양 생물과정과 수층의 수직혼합에 의한 상층으로의 유입에 의해 빠른 순환 공급이 예상된다. 표층하 엽록소량 최대 현상은 진 광대의 기저부에서 계속적으로 관찰되었으며 그 깊이는 등밀도 표면대 보다는 영양염 약층과 더 밀접한 관계를 보여 엽록소량 분포와 일차생산이 일차적으로 영양염 공급에 영향받는 것으로 보인다. 따라서 본 연구해역은 낮은 영양염 농도에서 불구하고 식물 플랑크톤 현존량과 생산량은 비교적 크고 자가영양 미소 및 초미소플랑크톤의 생산량 이 중요하였다.

Effect of extracellular calcium in vitellogenin (VTG) production in response to estradiol-17 $\beta$ $(E_2,\;2\times10^{-6}M)$ was examined in primary hepatocyte culture of rainbow trout, Onchorhynchus mykiss. Total calcium in estrogenized sera significantly increased, compared with the control, while diffusible calcium was insignificant. However, diffusible calcium in the incubation medium with $E_2$ was significantly reduced, compared with the control. The uptake of extracellular calcium by cultured hepatocytes signifIcantly increased 90 min after $E_2$ addition. Moreover, the accumulation of intracellular calcium increased in the cultures with $E_2$, regardless of the calcium concentrations in the incubation media. In addition, $E_2-primed $ VTG production was significantly decreased by withdrawal of E_2$ from the incubation medium. Moreover, VTG production by $E_2-primed$ hepatocytes was reduced by removing calcium from the incubation medium with or without $E_2$. These results suggest that the entry of extracellular calcium into the cytoplasm is an important step for VTG production in primary hepatocyte cultures in rainbow trout.

팔당호의 유기물 수지 산정을 위해 팔당호내 일차생산력을 측정하고 유입하천의 유입유기물량 및 방류유기물량을 측정하여 유기물부하에서 내부생성유기물의 기여도를 평가하였다. 식물플랑크톤에 의한 일차생산력은 지점과 시기에 따라 큰 차이를 보여 3회 조사결과 $101{\sim}2701\;mgC\;m^{-2}day{-1}$의 범위로 나타났으며, 체류시간이 길고, 수체내 클로로필 a농도가 높았던 6월에 모든 지점에서 높은 생산력을 보였다. 빈번한 강우로 체류시간이 짧고 조류현존량이 적었던 4월과 8월의 조사에서는 총 유기물유입량에서 내부생성유기물량은 약 7%를 차지하였고 이중 식물플랑크톤에 의한 내부생산기여도는 약 5%로 매우 낮았다. 그러나 조사일 전후로 강우가 없어 수체가 안정되었고 외부유입유기물량이 적었던 6월 조사에서는 식물플랑크톤에 의한 내부생산 기여도가 29.0%를 보였다.

The contribution of this paper is to provide the methods for the production automation of potato microtuber using the vision process in growth monitoring. The first method deals with computation for the growth density in the primary growth process. The second method addresses cognition process to identify the number and the volume of potato microtuber in secondary growth process. The third is to decide whether potato microtubers are infected by a virus or bacteria in growth process. The computation for the growth density in the primary growth process uses the method of Labeling. The second and third methods use template matching based on color patterns. With the developed method using vision process, this experiment is capable of discriminating weekly growth-rate in primary growth process, 85% cognition rate in secondary process and identifying whether there are infections. Therefore, we conclude that our experimental results are capable of growth monitoring for mass production of potato microtubers.

Air-staging combustion is a relatively well-known technique to reduce NOx emission and used in combination with other techniques nowadays. However, the design variables are still selected depending upon operating circumstances. Though the fuel-rich condition of the primary combustion zone is very helpful to NOx reduction, its range is known to be restricted by the increase of carbon monoxide. However, in many cases carbon monoxide level is so low not to be the restriction at all. So we tried to expand the equivalence ratio range to the richer condition in the primary combustion zone and make the function of each burner component and its contribution to the overall NOx production clear.

It has been well established that leaf longevity is linked to the carbon economy of plants. We used this relationship to predict leaf lifetime carbon gains from leaf lifespan, and estimated the gross primary production (GPP) of a young deciduous forest of Japanese beech (Fagus crenata) located in central Japan. The light-saturated photosynthetic rates of the leaves were measured repeatedly during the growing season. We used the leaf lifespan to calculate the conversion coefficient from the light-saturated photosynthetic rate into the realized leaf lifetime carbon gain under field conditions. The leaf turnover rate was estimated using litter traps. GPP was estimated as the product of lifetime carbon gain per unit of leaf mass, and the annual leaf turnover rate. The GPP of the forest in 2007 was estimated to be $1.2{\times}10^3gCm^{-2}y^{-1}$, which was within the range of previously reported GPP values of beech forests in Japan, and was close to the GPP of a European beech forest, as estimated by eddy flux measurements.

Photosynthetic activities and primary production of phytoplankton were investigated in Lake Gocheonam from October 1999 to August 2000. As an estuary lake with a barrage in the Southwestern coast of the Korean peninsula, the lake has received more attention after it became known as the habitat of large population of rare and endangered bird- Baikal Teal. As the lake had high algal biomass ranging from $20\mu{g}\;chl-aL^{-1}\;to\;125\mu{g}\;chl-aL^{-1}$ in average values and rich eutrophication indicator species, the freshwaters were in a very productive or hypertrophic state. In the results obtained from the phytoplankton incubation in the laboratory, the maximum photosynthetic rate $(P_{max})$ varied according to seasons and sampling stations. Photo- synthetic activities were higher during the warm season than the cold seasons and the serial order of $P_{max}$ was August dominated with Microcystis, April with Chlamydomonas and Nitzschia, October with Chlamydomonas and January with Stephanodiscus. The water of the lake was persistently turbid throughout the year due to strong winds from the adjacent sea. Despite the water turbidity, the phytoplankton productions estimated from a mathematical model had very broad range from 18mg C $m^{-2}day^{-1}\;to\;10,300mg\;C\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$.

The paper describes a study of the variation of the NO production emitted from turbulent propane flames established on a practical combustor where a primary and a secondary fuel lines are installed. The flowrate of the secondary fuel is pulsated or added in addition to that of the primary fuel which constrantly flows to the nozzle of the burner. Two modes depending on the positions of supplying the secondary fuel are performed; one is for its position to be placed at the center of the primary fuel tube and the other around the stabilization baffle. The mean concentrations of gas species, $O_2,\;Co\;CO_2,\;NO$, and HC(unburnt hydrocarbones) have been measured at the exit of the combustor. As equivalence ration $({\Phi})$ is increased the profile of the NO concentration on the latter mode rises slowly less than that on the former one. In the range of ${\Phi}=0.5$ to 0.54 the NO production is reduced by about 35% more on the latter mode than on the former one. The influence of pulsating the secondary fuel on the variation of the NO concentration doesn't appear at both modes.

To increase fishery resources in coastal waters, juvenile fish and bivalves are artificially released every year in Korea. This study provides a methodology to estimate an optimal release quantity based on the carrying capacity of the receiving basins. Carrying capacity was defined by E.p. Odum's theory of ecosystem development as the upper limit of biomass, where total system respiration equals total primary production. The Ecopath trophic ecological model was used to determine carrying capacity in the surfzone ecosystem of Bangjukpo on the southern coast of Korea. Using a top-down control method, various biomasses of fish groups were given to the simulation, with primary production constant and no catch. The results showed that biomass of selected fish groups increased by two orders of magnitude, yielding a five-fold increase in overall consumer biomass. The resultant values are 10 times higher than those estimated in open seas. This can be explained by higher primary production in the Bangjukpo surfzone ecosystem. This method can be used for strategic releases and ecosystem management, particularly when based on an ecological background.

Objective : This study was designed to investigate the effect of Hyeolbuchukeo-tang (HCT) on NO production and the molecular mechanism of NO production modulated by HCT in the primary VSMC (vascular smooth muscle cells). Method : Primary VSMC was established from aorta and cultured VSMC used in this study. NO production of VSMC was assayed by Griess reagent and the expression of iNOS gene was assayed by Western, RT-PCR. Result : $TNF-{\gamma}$ induced NO production, but $IFN-{\gamma}$ or HCT alone did not induce NO production in cultured VSMC. However, $IFN-{\gamma}$ or HCT potentiated NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC in a time- and dose-dependent manner. $TNF-{\gamma}$ induced the iNOS gene expression corresponding to NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. HCT potentiated NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC by about 20%, but HCT did not increase the level of iNOS mRNA in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. HCT slightly increased the level of iNOS protein in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC. Calcium ionophore A23187 decreased NO production in $TNF-{\gamma}-treated$ VSMC, but HCT attenuated the effect of A23187. Conclusion : As NO is deeply involved in the development of arteriosclerosis and dilation of blood vessels, drugs or chemicals modulating NO production in VSMC could be used for preventing and treating arteriosclerosis. Considering the effect of HCT on the modulation of NO production in VSMC, MCT has a potential capacity for preventing and treating diseases of the circulation system including arteriosclerosis.
