The growing cells of S. aureus were fractionated along the Schmidt-Thannhauser-Schneider's technique into several fractions such as TCA(trichloroacetic acid)-soluble, lipid, nucleic acid, protein and residue fraction. They were also fractionated according to their cellular structure into Sonic-supernatant, SDS(sodium lauryl sulfate)-soluble, Formamide-soluble and Residue fraction. Fractionation was carried out by orderly treatment of the Sonic pellet with 1.0% SDS and hot$(150^{\circ}C)$ formamide, and the pellet was prepared by centrifugation of the cells sonic osillated for 20 minutes at 150 watt. Sonic-supernatant fraction contained a 91.3% of total DNA while other fractions contained less than 9.5%. SDS-soluble fraction showed a high activity of malate dehydrogenase(13.67 unit/mg protein) and which was higher 22.3 times than the activity found from unsoluble fraction. Formamide-soluble fraction prepared from SDS-undoluble pellet by using the hot formamide exhibited a clear action of reducing sugars against the Anthronesulfate, while it exhibited no clear action against the ninhydrin. However, contrastly, the residue remainnning after extraction with formamide exhibited a clear action against ninhydrin and glucosamine was detected form the hydrolysate of residue by paper chromatography. From these results it is considered that the Sonic-supernatant fraction is mainly consisted of plasmic component of the cells. Other fractions, SDS-soluble, Formamide-soluble and Residue, should be consisted of plasma membrane, lipoplysaccharide and peptidoglycan of the cell, respectively.

Radicular cyst is a true epithelium lined cyst formed when epithelium at the apex of a nonvital tooth is stimulated by inflammation. It is the most common type of cyst in the oral cavity, but its frequency is low in the primary dentition. Treatment of large-sized cyst aims at conservation of adjacent structure and allowance of proper eruption of the successive permanent teeth in the primary dentition. Considering these two aspects, marsupialization or enucleation following decompression is recommended as a treatment means for large-sized radicular cyst. In this case, 8-year old boy visited the pediatric dentistry department. Yonsei University Dental Hospital, with the chief complaint of pain on the lower right area. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed periapical radiolucent lesion on #84, which had previous pulp treatment and restorated with the stainless steel crown. Dislocation of its successive tooth, #44, was also observed. #84 was extracted and sent for biopsy. Through histologic examination, it was diagnosed as radicular cyst. Following its extraction, removable space maintainer was delivered, which was also used as a decompressor. During periodic check-up for next 22 months, favorable healing of the lesion and eruption of the successive tooth were observed.

Soyasaponins are phytochemicals of major interest fur their health benefits. Chemical investigation of a soybean phytochemical concentrate resulted in the isolation and identification of triterpenoid saponins. The MeOH extraction of defatted hypocotyl separated from soybeans was peformed by the automated solvent extractor (ASE). Fractionation was performed on a flash column ($150mm{\times}40mm$ i.d.) packed with a preparative $C_{18}$ reverse phase bulk packing material $(125\AA,\;55-105{\mu}m)$ and monitored at 210 nm, and collected 14 fractions. Consequent Fsat preparative column liquid chromatography (Fast PCLC) was performed for the purification of Fraction-I (Fr-I) collected from the fraction 8 and 9 of flash chromatography. Fsat PCLC was performed on a Luna $C_{18}\;10{\mu}m,\;100{\AA}$, semipreparative reverse phase column ($250cm{\times}50mm$ i.d.) for the purification of isolated unknown compound (Fr-I-2). Chemical structure of acetyl soyasaponin $A_1\;(MW:1436.6,\;C_{67}H_{104}O_{33})$ was identified and determined by a combination of extensive NMR ($^1H-NMR$, 400 MHz; $^{13}C-NMR$, 100 MHz; DEPT), IR, UV, and ESI-MS analysis.

The Kunang cave paleolithic site is located at Tanyang [$N37^{\circ}2'$, $128^{\circ}21'E$], Chungbuk Province, which is in the Central part of the Korean peninsula. The cave is developed at 312 amsl in a karstic mountainous area. The South Han River flows across this region and other caves can also be found near the river. The site was discovered in 1986 and excavated 3 times by the Chungbuk National University Museum until now. The cave was wellpreserved from modem human activities until the first discovery. The full length of the cave is estimated to be ca. 140 m. However, a spacious part up to 11 m from the entrance has been excavated. Eight lithological units are divided over the vertical profile at a depth of 5 m. Each unit is deposited in ascending order as follow: mud layer (Unit 9), lower complex (Unit 8) which is composed of angular blocks and fragments with a muddy matrix, lower travertine layer (Unit 7； flowstone), middle complex (Unit 6; cultural layer) which is composed of fragments with a muddy matrix, middle travertine layer (Unit 5； flowstone), yellowish muddy layer (Unit 4), upper complex (Unit 3； cultural layer) which has a similar composition to Unit 8. the upper travertine layer (Unit 2； flowstone), and finally surface soil layer (Unit 1). The most abundant vestiges in the cultural layers are the animal bones. They are small fractured pieces and mostly less than 3 cm in length. About 3,800 bone pieces from 25 animal species have been collected so far, 90 percent of them belonging to young deers. Previous archaeological study of these bone pieces shows thatprehistoric people occupied the cavenot for permanent dwelling but for temporary shelter during their seasonal hunting activity. More extensive studies of these bones together with pollen analysis are in progress to reconstruct the paleoenvironment of this cave. Only a single date (12,500 BP) obtained from a U-Th measurement of the upper travertine layer was previously available. In spite of the importance of the cave stratigraphy, there was no detail chronological investigation to establish the depositional process of the cultural layers and to understand the periodic structure of the cave strata, alternating travertine floor and complex layers. We have measured five 14C age dating (38900+/-1000, 36400+/-900, 40600+/-1600, more than 51000 and 52000 14C BP) using Seoul National University 14C AMS facility, conducted systematic process of the collagen extraction from bone fragments samples. From the result, we estimate that sedimentation rate of the cave earth is constant, and that the travertine layers, Unit 2 and Unit 3, was formed during MIS 5a(ca. 80 kBP) and MIS 5c (ca. 100 kBP) respectively. The Kunang Cave site is located at Yochonli of the region of Danyang in the mid-eastern part of Korea. This region is compased of limestones in which many caves were found and the Nam-han river flows meanderingly. The excavations were carried out three times in 1986, 1988, and 1998.

Microbial secondary metabolites of marine organisms are regarded as major sources of structurally and biologically novel compounds with numerous potential uses. Sponge-microbe associations are among the most interesting sources for exploring bioactive compounds. In this study, the bacterial strain Microbulbifer sp. (127CP7-12) was isolated from the Asian marine sponge Hymeniacidon sinapium collected at an intertidal zone on the west coast of Korea. Cultured bacteria produced a violet pigment, and optimal culture conditions for violet pigment production were investigated. Maximum production of the violet pigment from the strain culture was observed under the conditions of $25^{\circ}C$, pH 6.0, and 3% NaCl. Acetone provided better extraction of the pigment from fermented broth compared with ethanol and methanol. The proposed structure of the major component in the extracted crude pigment was determined via high-performance liquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and UV spectra analyses, which showed that the metabolite was the promising bioactive compound violacein. This study describes the examination of marine bioactive materials from microbe-engaged metabolites and the ecological implications of the sponge-microbe association in a changing ocean.

Although many studies on modelling of port competitive situation have been conducted, both theoretical frame and methodology are still very weak. In this study, therefore, a new algorithm called ESD (Extensional System Dynamics) for the evaluation of port competition was presented, and applied to simulate port systems in northeast asia. The detailed objectives of this paper are to develop Unit fort Model by using SD(System Dynamics) method; to develop Competitive Port Model by ESD method; to perform sensitivity analysis by altering parameters, and to propose port development strategies. For these the algorithm for the evaluation of part's competition was developed in two steps. Firstly, SD method was adopted to develop the Unit Port models, and secondly HFP(Hierarchical Fuzzy Process) method was introduced to expand previous SD method. The proposed models were then developed and applied to the five ports - Pusan, Kobe, Yokohama, Kaoshiung, Keelung - with real data on each ports, and several findings were derived. Firstly, the extraction of factors for Unit Port was accomplished by consultation of experts such as research worker, professor, research fellows related to harbor, and expert group, and finally, five factor groups - location, facility, service, cargo volumes, and port charge - were obtained. Secondly, system's structure consisting of feedback loop was found easily by location of representative and detailed factors on keyword network of STGB map. Using these keyword network, feedback loop was found. Thirdly, for the target year of 2003, the simulation for Pusan port revealed that liner's number would be increased from 829 ships to 1,450 ships and container cargo volumes increased from 4.56 million TEU to 7.74 million TEU. It also revealed that because of increased liners and container cargo volumes, length of berth should be expanded from 2,162m to 4,729m. This berth expansion was resulted in the decrease of congested ship's number from 97 to 11. It was also found that port's charge had a fluctuation. Results of simulation for Kobe, Yokohama, Kaoshiung, Keelung in northeast asia were also acquired. Finally, the inter port competition models developed by ESB method were used to simulate container cargo volumes for Pusan port. The results revealed that under competitive situation container cargo volume was smaller than non-competitive situation, which means Pusan port is lack of competitive power to other ports. Developed models in this study were then applied to estimate change of container cargo volumes in competitive relation by altering several parameters. And, the results were found to be very helpful for port mangers who are in charge of planning of port development.

In this study, abiotic transformation of 1-naphthol(1-NP) via oxidative-coupling reaction and its reaction products were investigated in the presence of Mn oxides. The reaction products were characterized for their relative polarity using solvent extraction experiment and reverse-phase HPLC, and for structure using CCMS and LC/MS, and for absorption characteristics using UV-Vis spectrometry. The reaction products present in aqueous phase were more polar than parent naphthol and comprised of 1,4-naphthoquinon(1,4-NPQ) and oligomers such as dimers and trimers. Hydrophilic component present in water phase after solvent$(CH_2Cl_2)$ extractions was identified as naphthol polymerized products having molecular weight(m/z) ranging from 400 to 2,000, and showed similar UV-Vis. absorption characteristics to that of foil fulvic acid. Transformation of 1,4-NPQ, which is non-reactive to Mn oxide, to the polymerized products via cross-coupling reaction in the presence of 1-NP was also verified. In this experimental conditions(20.5 mg/L, 1-NP, 2.5 g/L $MnO_2$, pH 5), the transformation of 1-NP into the oligomers and polymerized products were about 83% of initial 1-NP concentrations, and more than 30% of the reaction products was estimated to be water insoluble fractions, not extracted by $H_2O$ methanol. Results from this study suggest that Mn oxide-mediated treatment of naphthol contaminated soils can achieve risk reduction through the formation of oligomers md polymer precipitation.

Thin-film $ZnGa_2O_4 : Mn^{2+}$ phosphors of spinel structure were grown on quartz substrate by RF magnetron sputtering method at room temperature. As an increase of post-annealing temperatures, crystallinity, surface roughness and stoichiometry of thin films were varied. At the post-annealing temperatures of $500^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$, the luminescence intensity was poor due to the poor crystallinity. The smallest surface roughness was observed at the sample post-annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ leading to low external extraction efficiency, and poor luminescence intensity. The highest luminescence intensity was shown at the sample post-annealed at $800^{\circ}C$. It was because both the surface roughness and crystallnity were optimized. On the other hand, at $900^{\circ}C$, the luminescence intensity was poor due to the violation of stoichiometry.
