Effects of nonlinear terms on the generation of M$_2$ tide residual elevation and M$_4$ tide in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea are investigated using a depth-integrated two-dimensional nonlinear M$_2$tidal model. The model domain (117$^{\circ}$E-130$^{\circ}$E, 24$^{\circ}$N-41$^{\circ}$N) covers the whole region of the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea with grid resolution of 1/6$^{\circ}$ in longitude and 1/8$^{\circ}$in latitude. A radiational boundary condition is used along the open boundaries. Calculations show that advection terms yield negative residual elevation, while shallow-water terms in continuity equation yield positive residual elevation. The contribution of both advection terms and shallow-water terms to tile generation of the M$_4$ constituent is more than 90 percents, but that of quadratic bottom friction terms to the M$_4$ constituent is comparatively small.

Pseudomonas fluorescens B16 is a plant glowth-prornoting rhizobacterium, which produces an antibacterial compound that is effective against plant root pathogens, such as Agrobacrerium tumefaciens and Raistonia solanacearum. We mutagenized the strain B16 with Omegon-Km and isolated six antibacterial-activity-deficient mutants. Two cosmid clones that hybridized with the mutant clones also were isolated from a genomic library of tile parent strain. Using deletion and complementation analyses, it was found that the biosynthesis genes resided in a 4.3-kb SalI-NarI fragment. When a plasmid clone carrying the fragment was introduced into P. fluorescens strain 1855.344, which does not exhibit any antibacterial activity, the transconjugants exhibited antibacterial activity, indicating that the plasmid clone carried all the genes essential for production of the antibacterial compound. DNA sequence analysis of the fragment identified four putative open reading frames (ORFs): orf1 through orf4 The deduced amino acid sequences of ORF1, ORF2, and ORF4 were similar to cystathionine gamma lyase, pyruvate formate-lyase activating enzyme, and transcriptional regulator, respectively, yet the amino acid sequence of ORF3 showed no similarities to any known proteins. It was also demonstrated that the antibacterial activity was responsible for biological control of the bacterial wilt caused by R. solanacearum.

This study were observed to the conditions of organic pollution applying to tile environmental assessments based on macrobenthos around the raft culture ground which became an issue by organic matter input in Jinhae Bay. Three stations, mussel farm, oyster farm and the control station on which rarely culture activities were fixed and have analyzed to the sediment characteristics and macrobenthic communities. Muddy substrates between 6.0 and 6.60 on mean grain size have prevailed to the bottom layer in all stations. The highest organic matter content of 2.8% was observed to the mussel farm while the lowest one of 1.5% was recorded on the control area. As a total, 79 species from seven phyla were identified. Comparing to shell farms, the control station have composed to more diversified community structure. In the mussel and the oyster farm, opportunistic species, living in high organic contents area, Lumbrineris longifolia, Heteromastus. filiformis in polychaetes and Corophium sinense in amphipod were dominated. As results on environmental assessment, in spite of changing to the species composition and densities seasonally, the mussel farm have recorded only to moderately polluted condition.

This is a fundamental study to develop a sensor to detect weeds in paddy field using machine vision adopted spectralphotometric technique in order to use the sensor to spread herbicide selectively. A set of spectral reflectance data was collected from dry and wet soil and leaves of rice and 6 kinds of weed to select desirable wavelengths to classify soil, rice and weeds. Stepwise variable selection method of discriminant analysis was applied to the data set and wavelengths of 680 and 802 m were selected to distinguish plants (including rice and weeds) from dry and wet soil, respectively. And wavelengths of 580 and 680 nm were selected to classify rice and weeds by the same method. Validity of the wavelengths to distinguish the plants from soil was tested by cross-validation test with built discriminant function to prove that all of soil and plants were classified correctly without any failure. Validity of the wavelengths for classification of rice and weeds was tested by the same method and the test resulted that 98% of rice and 83% of weeds were classified correctly. Feasibility of CCD color camera to detect weeds in paddy field was tested with the spectral reflectance data by the same statistical method as above. Central wavelengths of RGB frame of color camera were tried as tile effective wavelengths to distingush plants from soil and weeds from plants. The trial resulted that 100% and 94% of plants in dry soil and wet soil, respectively, were classified correctly by the central wavelength or R frame only, and 95% of rice and 85% of weeds were classified correctly by the central wavelengths of RGB frames. As a result, it was concluded that CCD color camera has good potential to be used to detect weeds in paddy field.

Both concave and convex roof-end tiles having same style and shape are excavated in Yongjangsung castle at Jindo and Burnhwasa temple at Wando in Jeollanam-Do that are the Sambyulcho's resistance sites against Mongolia in the late Koryo dynasty. Obtained data by NAA have been used to classify the equality of a raw materials' porvenance by multiple correlation analysis(MCA) and discriminant analysis. The results of MCA has shown that there are very high correlation for [La : Sm], and [Lu : Yb]. Exactly pottery site at Chungdo, roof tile site at Chungyang, Yongjangsung castle and Bumhwasa temple and Chunghaejin site at Jangdo were distributed for four trace elements, Cr, Sc, ${\Delta}$(${\Sigma}$(Lu, Yb)) and Eu by discriminant analysis, and their accuracy is above 95%. This means that Yongjangsung castle and Bumhwasa temple have same raw material's provenance.

As various genome projects have produced enormous amount of biosequence data, functional sequence analysis in terms of tile nucleic acid and protein becomes very significant. In functional genomics and proteomics, the functional analysis of each individual gene and protein remains a big challenge. Contrary to traditional studies, which regard proteins as not components of a whole protein interaction network but individual entities, recent studies have focused on examining functions and roles of each individual gene and protein in view of a whole life system. In this regard, it has been recognized as an appropriate method to analyze protein function on the basis of synthetic information of its interaction and domain modularity. In this context, this paper introduces the PIVS (Protein-protein interaction Inference & Visualization System), which predicts the interaction relationship of input proteins by taking advantage of information on homology degree, domain modules which input sequences contain, and protein interaction relationship. The information on domain modules can increase the accuracy of the function and interaction relationship analysis in terms of the specificity and sensitivity.

A polarograph with specially designed cell compartment usable in kinetic study of the mitochondrial respiration of a small sized sample was made, and its performance and experimental conditions were examined. An applied potential (ca-1.2V vs. SCE) which gives rise to the second step reduction of oxygen caused a considerable level of a residual current independent of oxygen, which is temporarily interpreted as the reduction current of the membrane-bound redox material(s) of mitochondria. A potential corresponding to the first slop reduction of oxygen (ca-0.4V vs SCE) did not produce the residual current. Thus, it is suggested that a measurement of oxygen concentration in a sample of mitochondria and submitochondrial particles by using dropping mercury electrode should be done with an applied potential of about -0.4V vs SCE. Consumption of oxygen by mitochondria was observed to follow practically zero order kinetics. Its rate constant exhibited the proportional relationship with the respiratory activity of mitochondria. Usefulness of tile instrument was properly demonstrated in the work on the temperature effect on the respiration of mitochondria isolated from several plant 4issues which were selected on the basis of chilling susceptivity.

The relationship between light and space is fundamental In an opera stage design. In contemporary stage design, light, color and space themselves became one of tile most important elements to express and symbolize the content of the opera. This was very different compared to the primitive and medieval opera stage design in the past. The designer tried to represent the same periodical background of the opera with exact replica of the buildings as well as costumes. In comtemporary performance art, light became one the most important aspects in design. Max Keller is one of the living pioneers in stage lighting design. This thesis that is based on his lighting experiments and projects attempts to examine how contemporary stage design and light are applied and what kind of characteristics they have. One of the Wagner's opera, "Tristan und Isolde" was selected to be further analyzed. Three different "Tristan und Isolde" opera stage designs were carefully studied in terms of how three designs are differently constructed for specific same contents of the opera. This sort of comparison study is crucial when there is a strict parameter that is the opera itself. It was found that three opera stages have very different stage designs and unique ways of expressing the opera flow and contents. However, in some parts, very similar lightings were used. This sort of multi-disciplinary study can be helpful to re-think the interior environment by applying light as a fundamental medium.
