We have developed a new method to visualize river networks in tropical rain forests from JERS-1 SAR images. This method compresses river information in an original SAR image to a small image displaying wide rivers as dark objects in real size and narrower rivers as bright objects showing brightness level as an indicator of the discharge. We applied this method to 476 images of Amazon forests, 13 observations for path 415 data and 11 observations for path 416 data between 1993 and 1997. We confirmed that a change observed in a preliminary experiment was certainly a part of seasonal changes. The changes roughly correspond to the monthly precipitation changes. Through a simple digital analysis although qualitative, we also detected subtle but consistent regional differences among minor tributaries that belong to a major tributary basin.

본 연구의 목적은 동남아시아 열대우림의 대표 산림 유형인 MDF, PSF 그리고 HF에서 지상부 바이오매스를 추정하는 것이다. 브루나이에서 MDF, PSF 그리고 HF를 대상으로 각각 3개 지역을 선정하여 20 m×20 m 조사구를 지역마다 9개씩 설치하고 흉고직경 10 cm 이상인 임목의 흉고직경을 측정하였다. 지상부 바이오매스는 측정된 흉고직경과 바이오매스 상대생장식을 활용하여 추정되었다. 지상부 바이오매스는 MDF, PSF 그리고 HF에서 각각 603.3±159.9, 305.9±23.4 그리고 284.3±19.3 Mg ha^-1 순으로 나타났다. 산림 유형에 따라 지상부 바이오매스는 유의하게 차이가 있었으며, MDF에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 이는 흉고직경이 70 cm 이상인 거대목이 MDF에서 집중되어 출현했기 때문이다. 이러한 연구 결과는 산림 유형에 따라 거대목의 출현빈도가 다르며, 나아가 거대목의 출현이 지상부 바이오매스 추정에 영향을 주는 요인 중 하나라는 의미를 가진다.

Dipterocarps or Dipterocarpaceae is a commercially important timber producing and dominant keystone tree family in the rain forests of Borneo. Borneo's landscape is changing at an unprecedented rate in recent years which affects this important biodiversity. This paper attempts to model the natural occurrence (distribution including those areas with natural forests before being converted to other land uses as opposed to current distribution) of dipterocarp species in Sarawak which is important for forest biodiversity conservation and management. Local modeling method of Inverse Distance Weighting was compared with commonly used statistical method (Binary Logistic Regression) to build the best natural distribution models for three genera (12 species) of dipterocarps. Database of species occurrence data and pseudoabsence data were constructed and divided into two halves for model building and validation. For logistic regression modeling, climatic, topographical and edaphic parameters were used. Proxy variables were used to represent the parameters which were highly (p>0.75) correlated to avoid over-fitting. The results show that Inverse Distance Weighting produced the best and consistent prediction with an average accuracy of over 80%. This study demonstrates that local interpolation method can be used for the modeling of natural distribution of dipterocarp species. The Inverse Distance Weighted was proven a better method and the possible reasons are discussed.

Sudan is the largest country in Africa with an area of $2,505,810km^2$, of water constitutes $129,810km^2$, and cultivable land is 34%. Sudan has a total land boundary of 7,687 km with 9 border countries. This vast country embraces different vegetation patterns reflecting various climatic zones, grading from tropical rain forests in the south through semi-tropical savannah to arid zone in the extreme north, with annual rainfall ranging from 1,600 mm in the south to 25 mm in the north. The aquaculture industry is not developed as yet. Because of their basic characteristics, the Sudan inland and marine capture fisheries are of a small-scale and semi-industrial nature. The demand for fish and fish preparations is growing steadily. The animal resources sector (which includes fisheries) contributes 21% of Sudan GDP. The contribution of fisheries to Sudanese GDP is currently marginal. The per caput supply is only 1.6 kg/year, which is mostly obtained by capture fish landings. Despite the fact that fisheries GDP is extremely low, fish and fish preparations contribute to the food security of a wide sector of the rural and urban communities. Fisheries also provide work opportunities in the form of secondary employment as a source of income that indirectly contributes to household food security.

Antioxidants have been used in cosmetic industry for treatment of aged skin and recently have been also introduced as additives in photoprotection products. In order to determine among the Brazilian botanical species presenting interesting antioxidant activities we have screened several extracts from plants from Rain and Amazonical Tropical Forests, as well as some endemic species, using both TBARs and DPPH methods. Extracts with antioxidant activities were found with Jacaranda caroba, Veloso DL, Spilanthes oleracea (Spilanthes acmella var. oleracea), Orbignya phalerata, Pothomorphe umbellata, Chiococca brachiata and Polypodium lepidopteris. Other extracts such as Camelia sinensis, Sambucus australis, Rosmarinus officinalis L. were also studied, and showed some antioxidant activity.

본 연구는 항공 LiDAR 자료를 이용하여 열대원시림인 브루나이 지역의 지상부 생체량을 정량화하기 위하여 수행되었다. 25ha 크기의 연구대상지에 0.09ha ($30m{\times}30m$) 크기의 24개의 표본구 내에서 조사된 각 표본점 내 개체목의 흉고직경 및 위치자료를 활용하였다. 또한, 항공 LiDAR 자료를 이용하여 수치표면모델(Digital Surface Model), 수치지형모델(Digital Terrain Model), 수고모델(Canopy Height Model)을 구축하였다. 수고모델을 표본구단위로 분할하고 총 12개의 LiDAR 높이변수를 구축하였다. 표본구별로 상대생장식을 이용하여 계산된 생체량과 LiDAR 자료로부터 추출된 변수간의 다중회귀분석을 통해 LiDAR 자료로부터 생체량을 추정할 수 있는 식을 도출하였다. 표본구의 생체량은 평균 366.48 Mg/ha였으며, 155.81 Mg/ha부터 597.21 Mg/ha까지 분포하였다. LiDAR로부터 생체량을 추정하는 식의 검증 결과, 결정계수 값은 0.84로 나타났다.

It is needless to say that America's indiscriminate artillery and chemical attacks have worsened the conditions of Vietnam's tropical rain forests, causing war-torn combat troops and civilians to suffer more from the participation and aftermath of the Vietnam war. Around two decades after the Vietnam War, American and Vietnamese writers dealing with the destruction of the human and nature of the Vietnam War and the following traumatic experience commonly report the horrors of inhumane warfare, but some differences among them appear in the reception of the ecocide consciousness. For American writers who had been involuntarily involved or who had stayed in the back area as interpreters and counter-intelligence force, the Vietnam War was often a kind of exotic "addicted adventure" which their American hometown could not provide. But apart from overcoming postwar post-traumatic stress by writing of healing which was shared with American war writers, Vietnamese writers have been able to overcome the scars of war as the communal memorial, which Jonathan Shay emphasized as the necessary comforting ritual by community members showing the sign of honor and care. On the other hand, American war writers were on the side of "separate peace," as Jeong stressed, and the Vietnam War to them was more racist like the case of "body count." Nevertheless, it is fortunate that the hideous experience of war could turn them all into the creativity pool, just as the 5,000 square mile of bomb creators have been used as the postwar fish ponds.

Machaerium cuspidatum은 Fabaceae과 legume속에 속하는 캐노피 덩굴식물(canopy liana)로, 열대 우림 지역에 분포하는 식물이다. 본 연구에서는 Machaerium cuspidatum 메탄올 추출물(MEMC)의 항산화능을 확인하고, 항암 활성 및 그 기전을 인체 폐암세포 A549, 인체간암세포 HepG2를 사용하여 분석하였다. 먼저 DPPH를 이용하여 MEMC의 radical 소거능을 분석한 결과, 소거능 50%의 MEMC 농도($IC_{50}$)는 $1.66{\mu}g/ml$l이었으며, MEMC가 추출물인 것을 감안할 때 효과적인 항산화능을 보유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 MEMC는 A549, HepG2 및 HT29에 대해 농도의존적으로 세포 사멸 효과를 보였으며, 세포 형태 변화를 유도하였다. A549와 HepG2를 사용하여 세포주기를 분석한 결과, MEMC 처리 농도가 증가할수록 apoptotic 세포를 의미하는 subG1기의 세포가 증가하였다. 따라서 MEMC에 의한 A549 및 HepG2의 apoptosis 유도를 Annexin V/7AAD 염색으로 확인한 결과, A549 및 HepG2에서 MEMC 농도의존적으로 Annexin V 양성 세포의 비율이 증가하였으며, DAPI 염색결과 MEMC 농도의존적으로 A549와 HepG2의 apoptotic body가 증가하였다. 특히 MEMC에 의한 apoptosis는 p53과 Bax의 발현증가 및 Bcl-2의 발현감소와 연관되어 있으며, caspase-3, -8, -9의 활성화와 poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP)의 단편화를 일으키는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들로부터 MEMC는 외인성 및 내인성 경로를 통한 apoptosis 유도에 의해 A549와 HepG2의 증식을 억제시키는 것으로 사료된다.
