Autotransgenic manipulation with a growth hormone (GH)-construct is a potential approach to improving the growth rates of farmed fish. Here, we present the generation of GH-autotransgenic common carp Cyprinus carpio carrying a transgene comprised of the carp homologous GH gene and a ${\beta}$-actin regulator. Autotransgenic carp showed similar viability to their non-transgenic siblings. Early growth characteristics of founder autotransgenic carp up to 50 days postfertilization were highly variable among individuals; i.e., some fish exhibited significant growth depression, while others showed dramatic acceleration of growth, achieving greater than sixfold increases in body weight relative to their non-transgenic counterparts. Stimulated growth performance became more notable with age and many transgenic individuals of the largest class reached 5 kg within 8 or 9 months, which is at least 10 times heavier than the average body weight of communally grown non-transgenics. Four of six founder transgenic males were successful in passing the transgene to their $F_1$ offspring with frequencies ranging from 19 to 36%. Growth stimulations were also persistent in all $F_1$ progeny groups examined.

Arabidopsis mutants deficient in flavonoid and sinapate ester (tt4 and fah1-7, respectively) were evaluated in vivo and in vitro to study the possible role of flavonoid compounds in pollen tube growth. In vivo, we investigated pollen tube growth in the pistils of the mutants and wild type(Ler). The growth of pollen tubes was significantly different among the three genotypes. In the fal1-7 pistils, the tubes grew to a greater length relative to those of the wild type or tt4. To examine in vitro pollen tube growth, a solid medium was devised for pollen germination and subsequent growth. In vitro, the identical result was obtained; fahl-7 pollens developed the longest tubes and elongated most rapidly. Therefore, the growth response of pollen tubes to phenolic compounds was examined by adding quercetin or sinapate ester in various concentrations to the media. Quercetin enhanced both germination rate and tube growth in the pollens of the mutants and the wild type, especially in tt4. In contrast, sinapate ester inhibits pollen germination and pollen tube growth in three genotypes. These results suggest that flavonoids and related phenolic compounds have physiological role in the plant reproductive system.

본 연구는 우리나라의 희귀식물인 박달목서의 현지내·외 보존 및 복원을 위한 생육 환경 조성 시 적정 광 조건을 구명하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 차광 처리구를 설치하여 전광 기준 100%, 55%, 20%, 10% 상대 광량 조건에서 4월부터 11월까지 생육 관리한 박달목서 유묘의 생장 특성, 잎 형태, 광합성 특성 및 광합성 색소 함량을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 수고와 근원경의 상대 생장률은 광량에 따른 차이가 없었으나, 잎, 줄기 및 뿌리의 건중량 및 잎 수는 55% 상대 광량 조건에서 가장 높았다. 잎의 형태는 광량이 높아질수록 엽면적이 작아지고 두께가 두꺼워지는 경향을 보였다. 광포화점에서의 광합성 속도와 기공전도도를 비롯하여 순양자수율, 암호흡, 잎의 엽록소 a, b와 카로테노이드 함량 역시 55% 상대 광량에서 가장 높았다. 전광 조건에서 박달목서 유묘의 잎은 작고 두꺼워지는 형태적 적응이 나타났으나, 엽록소 함량은 가장 낮아 광합성 속도가 55% 상대 광량보다 떨어졌다. 10%, 20% 상대 광량에서는 광량이 적을수록 엽록소 a, b, 카로테노이드 함량이 감소하였고, 광합성 속도와 암호흡 속도가 낮아졌다. 결론적으로, 박달목서 유묘는 광량에 따라 형태적인 적응 반응을 보였으나, 그늘에서 광합성 효율을 높이는 생리적인 반응은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 또한 생육에 가장 적절한 광조건은 전광의 55% 수준으로, 이 조건에서 광합성이 가장 활발하고 최종 산물인 건중량 생산이 최대로 나타났다. 따라서 박달목서는 현지외 보존을 위한 생육 환경 조성 시 광량이 전광의 55% 정도가 될 수 있도록 조절 관리하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Gompertz 성장곡선에 기반한 기존의 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장모델들은 모두 대수형이다. 대수형 Gompertz 성장 곡선에 기반한 소프트웨어 신뢰성 성장 모델들은 모수 추정에 어려움을 갖고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 로지스틱형 Gompertz 성장곡선에 기반한 신뢰성 성장 모델을 제안한다. 13개의 다른 소프트웨어 프로젝트로부터 얻은 고장 데이터를 분석하여 그 유용성을 검토하였다. 모델의 모수들은 변수변환을 통한 선형희귀분석과 Virence의 방법으로 추정되었다. 제안된 모델은 평균 상대 예측 오차에 기반하여 성능을 비교하였다. 실험 결과 제안된 모델은 대수형 Gompertz 성장 곡선에 기반한 모델보다 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Conventional evaluation method for identifying the organic cause of short stature has a low detection rate. If an infant who is small for gestational age manifests postnatal growth deterioration, triangular face, relative macrocephaly, and protruding forehead, a genetic testing of IGF2, H19, GRB10, MEST, CDKN1, CUL7, OBSL1, and CCDC9 should be considered to determine the presence of Silver-Russell syndrome and 3-M syndrome. If a short patient with prenatal growth failure also exhibits postnatal growth failure, microcephaly, low IGF-1 levels, sensorineural deafness, or impaired intellectual development, genetic testing of IGF1 and IGFALS should be conducted. Furthermore, genetic testing of GH1, GHRHR, HESX1, SOX3, PROP1, POU1F1, and LHX3 should be considered if patients with isolated growth hormone deficiency have short stature below -3 standard deviation score, barely detectable serum growth hormone concentration, and other deficiencies of anterior pituitary hormone. In short patients with height SDS <-3 and high growth hormone levels, genetic testing should be considered to identify GHR mutations. Lastly, when severe short patients (height z score <-3) exhibit high levels of prolactin and recurrent pulmonary infection, genetic testing should be conducted to identify STAT5B mutations.

본 연구는 우리나라 천연활엽수림의 대표적 수종인 신갈 굴참나무를 대상으로 흉고직경 생장량 패턴을 알아보고, 14개의 임목 측정인자와 직경생장량과의 관계를 규명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 본 생장량 자료는 강원도 천연활엽수림지역에서 벌도 된 83본의 신갈 및 굴참나무에 대하여 수간석해를 통하여 분석하였다. 두 수종 모두 우세목의 경우 평균적으로 15~20년까지 흉고직경생장률이 높게 나타나다가 그 이후부터는 일정한 생장량을 갖고, 매년 0.09~0.83 cm/yr의 흉고직경생장을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 최근 5년간의 연년직경생장량은 신갈나무가 평균 0.28 cm/yr로 굴참나무 평균 0.27 cm/yr 자라는 것으로 실측되었으며, 두 수종 모두 우세목, 준우세목, 중간목, 피압목 순으로 생장이 좋은 것으로 확인되었다. 특히, 신갈나무의 경우는 수관급간에 직경생장량이 매우 유의적인 차이 (p<0.0001)가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 14개의 입목 측정인자와 조제변수를 이용하여 최근 5년간의 연년직경생장량과 Pearson 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 신갈나무의 경우 상대직경(r=0.64), 상대수고(r=0.61), 노출된 수관투영면적(r=0.58), 전체 수관투영면적(r=0.56)순으로 상관관계가 높게 나타났으며, 굴참나무는 흉고직경(r=0.57), 수관폭(r=0.55), 연령(r=0.39), 경쟁지수(r=-0.39), 수고(r=0.35)순으로 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Allocation patterns of energy and mineral elements were investigated with phaseolus multiflorus grown in the environmental gradients. The result showed different energy allocation patterns according to relative light intensities and nutrients. The optimal switching time of energy allocation from vegetative to resproductive growth was delated as decreasing relative light intensity. The switch of the shift to reproduction was timed earlier in phosphorus treatment and delayed in nitrogen treatment. Analyzing the mineral elements to various organs, patterns of energy allocation were different from those of mineral allocation. There was no significant difference for allocation patterns in relative light intensity gradients. it was shown that n and p were distributed over the reproductive organs, k mainly in stems, ca in leaves and na in roots. mg was evenly distributed in each organs.

A computational study is performed to clarify the characteristics of supersonic moist air jet issuing from a simple sonic nozzle. The effects of the initial supersaturation on the Mach disk diameter and location, the barrel shock wave and jet boundary structures are investigated in details. The axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes equations, coupled with droplet growth equation, are solved using a third-order MUSCL type TVD finite-difference scheme. It is found that the Mach disk diameter increases with an increase in relative humidity of moist air. while its location is not significantly dependent on the relative humidity. As the relative humidity increases, the barrel shock wave and jet boundary are more expanded due to the local static pressure rise of nonequilibrium condensation.

This study attempted to identify relative evaluation to its attributes and improvement of consumer's demand in the Environment-Friendly Agricultural Products(EFAP). To identify the consumption patterns of EFAP, a series of household surveys were conducted for housewives residing in Seoul and its metropolitan area(Bundang and Ilsan). the sample size of the survey is 366 respectively. This study operated relative evaluation of EFAP by Multi-Demential Scales(MDS) about 10 attributes that this study set up. As the result, the consumers recognized that EFAP is "protection of ecosystem", "food safety", "good for growth of children", "high quality", and in case of conventional farming products is "inexpensive price", and "diversity of purchasing items". This trend has significant implications to the structure of EFAP output and how positioning strategies, and approaches should be properly formulated and implemented.
