Flowering of the sunflower varieties tested was accelerated by growing in the green-house as well as by short-day treatments at 8 or 12 hours. It may be concluded that the sun-flower plant is sensitive to short-day condition. Significant difference was observed between the , early and late maturing varieties in the flowering response to temperature treatment. Varietal difference, however, was not recognizable in the flowering response to the short-day treatment.

Several growth characteristics of two ornamental tobacco species, Nicotiana sanderae and N. affinis, were investigated in this study. Also effect of temperature and daylength on the flowering of the tobacco plants were evaluated to obtain basic information on breeding and cultivation. 1. The plants were great in high temperature-long day at the early stage and in low temperature-short day at the late stage of plant growth, for both Nicotana species. At the early growth stage the leaf length N. sanderae was great in high temperature-long day, and that of N. affinis was great in high temperature-short day period, while at the late stage of the plant growth the leaf lengths were more significantly effected by the temperature rather than daylength. Leaf width and leaf shape index were less sensitive to the conditions. 2. For both of the species, the total number of tobacco leaves not much influenced by the temperature and daylength. 3. There were no significant differences for budding and flowering period between the two species, both of which were sensitive to temperature and daylength with more influence by daylength than temperature. 4. Number of floral stalks, number of flower and flowering period were not much influenced by temperature and daylength; however, N. affinis had 2 more floral stalks, 31 more flowers, and 6 day longer flowering period than N. sanderae.

Since the System Marginal Price (SMP) is a vital factor to the market entities who intend to maximize the their profit, the short-term marginal price forecasting should be performed correctly. In a electricity market, the short-term trading between the market entities can be generally affected a short-term market price. Therefore, the exact forecasting of SMP can influence on the profit of market participants. This paper presents a methodology of day-ahead SMP foretasting using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). To show the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method, the numerical studies have been performed using historical data of SMP in 2004.

Preliminary time-series observations for short-period variability survey (SPVS) were carried out using a 155mm refractor and a $2k{\times}3k$ CCD camera at Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory. We found 21 new variable stars in the $90'{\times}60'$ test field region : 9 eclipsing binary stars, $5{\delta}$ Scuti type stars, a ${\gamma}$ Doradus type star, and 6 long period variables. The observing field center is R.A. $05^h\;00^m\;00^s$, DEC. $50^{\circ}\;00'\;00"$ (J2000.0). The period and amplitude ranges for the short-period variables, i.e., ${\delta}$ Scuti stars, were 0.052day - 0.107day and 0.012mag - 0.064mag, respectively.

A total of 55 patients with various etiologies of infertility particitated in a study comparing two regimens of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with GnRH agonists and gonadotropins. Nineteen patients were given an ultra-short stimulation protocol when the agonist was administered for 3 day from Day 2 of the cycle. The remaining 36 patients were given a long stimulation protocol when the agonist was administered from the mid-luteal phase of the cycle preceding the stimulation cycle. The mean number of gonadotropins used per patient was not different between two groups. No significant differences were found in the mean number of oocytes recovered, fertilization rate and embryo cleavage rate between two groups. Pregnancy and delivery rates were higher in ultra-short protocol than in long protocol, but these were not significant. These results suggest that an ultra-short protocol is as effective as a long protocol in in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

A retrospective double blind study comparing 7 day with 2 day regimen of antibiotic prophylaxis was conducted among 200 patients undergoing open heart surgery. No case of endocarditis and wound infection occurred. Pneumonia developed in 5 cases of the 7 day and 1 case of the 2 day group. Urinary tract infection without clinical significance developed in 1 case of the 7 day and 3 cases of the 2 day group. Bacteremia developed in 2 cases of the 7 day and 1 case of the 2 day group. We concluded as follows: l. Administration of antibiotics for 2 days appears to be without substantial risk of infection comparing long term 7 day regimen. 2. 7 days of antibiotics may actually increase the risk of serious infection such as nosocomial pneumonia, and predispose to the development of infections with fungi or antibiotic resistant bacteria. 3. 2 days of prophylaxis is more beneficial than long term 7 day regimen for example economically.

To information on the inheriance of heading date of rice under the short-day condition, the $F_2$ seeds obtained from all possible combinations of the diallel crosses between five leading rice varieties: Nongbaek, Tongil, Palgueng, Mangyeong and Gimmaze were grown under the short-day condition and natural condition. The days to heading were investigated and analysed for genetic components. The results obtained are summarized as follows. 1. Under the natural condition, the durations to heading of all combinations excluding Nong-baek x Palgueng and Nongbaek x Mangyeong were longer than those of their parents. mean. Whereas, under the short-day condition, the duration to heading of Mangyeong x Gimmaze combination was equal to that of their parents mean, and those of all other combinations were significantly shorter than those of their parents mean. 2. Under the natural condition, the non-allelic gene interactions were significant in days to heading, but under the short-day condition, the non-allelic gene interactions were not significant, and inheritance of days to heading revealed partial dominace in which additive effects were greater than dominant effects. 3. Tongil and Gimmaze were located on dominant zone under the natural day-length, and Nongbaek and Mangyeong were under the short-day condition. 4. Under the natual condition, dominant effects were greater than additive effects, and both heritabilities of the broad and the narrow senses were significantly low. Under the short-day condition, additive effects were significantly higher than dominant effects, and both heritabilities of the broad and the narrow senses were high.

Considering the volatility, intermittent and random of photovoltaic (PV) generation systems, accurate forecasting of PV power output is important for the grid scheduling and energy management. In order to improve the accuracy of short-term power forecasting of PV systems, this paper proposes a prediction model based on environmental factors and support vector machine optimized by genetic algorithm (GA-SVM). In order to improve the prediction accuracy of this model, weather conditions are divided into three types, and the gray correlation coefficient algorithm is used to find out a similar day of the predicted day. To avoid parameters optimization into local optima, this paper uses genetic algorithm to optimize SVM parameters. Example verification shows that the prediction accuracy in three types of weather will remain at between 10% -15% and the short-term PV power forecasting model proposed is effective and promising.

The present study was carried out to establish a short-term teratogenicity study for detecting developmental toxic potential induced by gamma radiation in ICR mice. Pregnant mice were exposed at dose levels of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, or 4 Gy on gestational day 8.5. All dams were subjected to caesarean section on gestational day 10.5 and their embryos were examined for growth, differentiation, and morphological abnormalities. An increase in the number of resorption was found at 4 Gy in a dose-dependent manner. Dose-dependent decreases in the developmental score of yolk sac circulation and olfactory system at above 1 Gy, in the number of somite pairs and developmental score of allantois, optic system, and maxillary process at above 2 Gy, and in the all growth and developmental parameters examined at 4 Gy were found. Various types of morphological abnormalities were seen at dose levels of 0.5 Gy or greater. Characteristic malformations induced by gamma radiation were abnormal axial rotation, hematoma, craniofacial hypoplasia, open neuropore, shortened prosencephalon, kinked somites, irregular somites, swelling, hydropericardium, absent branchial bar, and absent limb bud. Morphological alterations such as hematoma, craniofacial hypoplasia, open neuropore, and kinked somites were noted even in the lowest dose (0.5 Gy). These results indicated that the short-term teratogenicity study established in this study can be a useful tool for not only detecting the developmental toxic potential induced by gamma radiation, but also screening radio-protective agents in ICR mice.
