Photosynthetic responses to dehydration were examined by the simulataneous measurement of O2 evolution and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence in green pepper leaves. Dehydration was induced by immersing the plant roots directly in the Hoagland solution containing varying concentration (2-30%) of polyethylene glycol(PEG-6000) . Water potential of the leaf was decreased time-and concentation -dependently by PEG-treatment. The decrease in water potential of leaf was correlated with the decrease in both the maximal photosynthesis (Pmax) and quantum yield of O2 evolution, but Pmax dropped more rapidly than quantum yield at all water deficit conditions tested. However, Chl fluorescence parameters were not affected much. Dehydration did not change the initial fluorescence (Fo) and maximum photochemical efficiency(Fv/Fm) of photosystem(PS) II. Both the photochemical quenching (qP) and non-photochemical quenching(NPQ) were not changed by dehydration under low PFR(50 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). In contrast, under high PFR(270$\mu$mols m-2s-1)qP was slightly decreased while NPQ was greatly increased. The fast induction kinetics of Chl fluroecence showed no change in Chl fluorescence pattern by dehydration at high PFR (640 $\mu$mols m-2s-1 ), but exhibited a significant drop in peak level(Fp)at low PRFR (70$\mu$mols m-2s-1 ). PS I oxidation and reduction kinetics revealed normal reduction but delayed oxidation to P-700+, suggesting no lesionin electron flow from PSII to PSI , but impaired electron transport to NADP+,These results suggest that water stress caused by PEG-treatment results in the reduction of photosynthesis, promarily due to the reducted electron trasport from PSI to NADP+ or hampered subsequent steps involving Calvin Cycle.

Oxygen consumption is a useful parameter for evaluating mammalian embryo quality, since individual bovine embryos was noninvasively quantified by scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). Recently, several approaches have been used to measure the oxygen consumption rates of individual embryos, but relationship between oxygen consumption and pregnancy rates of Hanwoo following embryo transfer has not yet been reported. In this study, we measured to investigate the correlation between oxygen consumption rate and pregnancy rates of Hanwoo embryo using a SECM. In addition to, the expression of pluripotent gene and anti-oxidant enzyme was determined using real-time PCR by extracting RNA according to the oxygen consumption of in vivo embryo. First, we found that the oxygen consumption significantly increased in blastocyst-stage embryos (blastocyst) compared to early blastocyst stage embryos, indicating that oxygen consumption reflects the embryo quality (Grade I). Oxygen consumption of blastocyst was measured using a SECM and total cell number of in vitro blastocyst was enumerated by counting cells stained by propidium iodide. The oxygen consumption or GI blastocysts were significantly higher than those of GII blastocysts ($10.2{\times}10^{15}/mols^{-1}$ versus $6.4{\times}10^{15}/mols^{-1}$, p<0.05). Total cell numbers of in vitro blastocysts were 74.8, 90.7 and 110.2 in the oxygen consumption of below 10.0, 10.0~12.0 and over $12.0{\sim}10^{15}/mols^{-1}$, respectively. Pregnant rate in recipient cow was 0, 60 and 80% in the transplantation of embryo with the oxygen consumption of below 10.0, 10.0~12.0 and over $12.0{\times}10^{15}/mols^{-1}$, respectively. GPX1 and SOD1 were significantly increased in over -10.0 group than below 10.0 groups but in catalase gene, there was no significant difference. On the other hand, In OCT-4 and Sox2, pluripotent gene, there was a significant difference (p<0.05) between the below-10.0 ($0.98{\pm}0.1$) and over 10.0 ($1.79{\pm}0.2$). In conclusion, these results suggest that measurement of oxygen consumption maybe help increase the pregnant rate of Hanwoo embryos.

The thermal decomposition process of ammonium paratungstate $5(NH_4)_2O{\cdot}12WO_3{\cdot}5H_2O$ was analysed by the methods of thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, quantitative analysis of the ammonia which is released during heating and X-ray powder diffraction in air and in vacuo. There are several endothermic peaks which indicate release of ammonia and exothermic peaks which indicate crystal growth and oxidation of decomposed prodects in air. After water is driven off the ammonia is released at intervals corresponding to the endothermic peaks. The highest temperature at which ammonia is released is about $420^{\circ}C$ in air and $480^{\circ}C$ in vacuo. In air the crystal structure of paratungstate is conserved up to a temperature of $300^{\circ}C$ at which the remaining ammonia is about 4 mols. At $320^{\circ}C$ the remaining ammonia becomes less than 2 mols and the paratungstate structure changes into the amorphous state. After that ${\gamma}$ oxide is produced and is oxidized to ${\alpha}$ oxide in the temperature range of 400-$500^{\circ}C$ in air. In vacuo however the endothermic peaks and structural changes occur at lower temperatures and the structure of ${\gamma}$ oxide is conserved up to temperatures higher than $500^{\circ}C$.

Let p be an odd prime number. We introduce simple and useful decoding algorithm for orthogonal Latin square codes of order p. Let H be the parity check matrix of orthogonal Latin square code. For any x ${\in}$ GF(p)$^{n}$, we call xH$^{T}$ the syndrome of x. This method is based on the syndrome decoding for linear codes. In L$_{p}$, we need to find the first and the second coordinates of codeword in order to correct the errored received vector.

전기자극에 의한 적출 정관의 수축 또는 뇌척수제거 흰쥐의 심박동수 증가가 카드뮴 장기투여 (매격일 $10{\mu}$ mols, 1회씩 2주간 복강내 주사)로 인하여 대조군에 비하여 현저히 항진되었다. 이러한 전기자극에 의한 반응은 ${\alpha}_2$-효현제인 clonidine에 의하여 억제 되었고, 이 억제는 ${\alpha}_2$-길항제인 yohimbine 투여로 봉쇄되었다. 나아가 methoxamine에 의한 확장 혈압의 증가는 카드뮴 투여에 의하여 영향을 받지 아니하였으나 clonidine에 의한 증가는 카드뮴 투여에 의하여 억제되었다. 이러한 결과로 보아 카드뮴 장기 노출에 의하여 시납스 전 및 후 ${\alpha}2-adrenoceptors$가 우선적으로 억제되었다고 시사되는 바이다.

The polytope of tristochastic tensors of degree three, the Latin polytope, has two kinds of extreme points. Those that are at a maximum distance from the barycenter of the polytope correspond to Latin squares. The remaining extreme points are said to be short. The aim of the paper is to determine the geometry of these short extreme points, as they relate to the Latin squares. The paper adapts the Latin square notion of an intercalate to yield the new concept of a cross-intercalate between two Latin squares. Cross-intercalates of pairs of orthogonal Latin squares of degree three are used to produce the short extreme points of the degree three Latin polytope. The pairs of orthogonal Latin squares fall into two classes, described as parallel and reversed, each forming an orbit under the isotopy group. In the inverse direction, we show that each short extreme point of the Latin polytope determines four pairs of orthogonal Latin squares, two parallel and two reversed.

제주도의 초염기성-염기성 암편을 포획하고 있는 현무암은 조직적으로 일반 반정과 뚜렷하게 구별되는 금운모와 커슈타이트 결정을 산출하고 있다. 금운모와 커슈타이트는 모암인 현무암에서는 비교적 조립질 (2-10 mm)로 산출되며, 금운모는 초염기성 맨틀포획암에서, 커슈타이트는 염기성 반려암질 포획암에서 세립의 입자(1 mm 이하)로 간극을 채우거나, 미세맥으로 혹은 코로나로 뚜렷한 이차조직으로 산출된다. 금운모는 $TiO_2$(4.1-6.9 wt%)와 F(2.8-4.6wt%)가 풍부하고, mg#[=100Mg/(Mg+$Fe^t$) in mols, where $Fe^t$ is total iron]는 88-80으로 매우 높다. 커슈타이트는 높은 $TiO_2$(5.6-6.11 wt%)와 비교적 낮은 mg#(68-64)를 보인다. 금운모와 커슈타이트는 서로 관련된 것은 아니며, 금운모의 형성은 상부맨틀에서 먼저 일어난 사건이고 커슈타이트의 형성은 하부지각에서 나중에 일어난 사건으로 해석된다. 이들 결정들 사이의 mg#와 조직적 특성은 제주도 암석권에서 맨틀의 심부일수록 금운모 부화작용을 경험하였으며, 천부일수록 각섬석 부화작용이 있었음을 지시하고 있다. 현무암에 금운모와 각섬석이 산출된다는 것은 제주도 상부맨틀/하부지각에 K-, Ti-를 함유한 휘발성 성분이 풍부한 멜트/유체가 이동하고 있다는 것에 대한 직접적인 증거가 되며, 제주도 하부 상부맨틀/하부지각도 다양한 모달 교대작용을 경험하였음을 의미한다.

본 연구에서는 Pt/GDC/Pt 셀을 이용하여 상압에서 물과 질소로부터 전기화학적으로 암모니아를 합성하는 연구를 수행하였다. 수분이 포화된 질소분위기에서 작동온도($400{\sim}600^{\circ}C$)와 전압(OCV(Open Circuit Voltage)~1.2 V)에 대한 전기화학적 특성 평가를 수행하였고, 암모니아 합성량을 정량 분석하였다. 정전압 하에서 작동온도의 증가에 따라 인가 전류의 증가로 암모니아 합성량은 증가하였으나, Pt 전극에서 암모니아 합성에 필요한 질소의 화학적 해리 흡착 반응의 한계로 패러데이 효율(faradaic efficiency)은 감소하였다. $600^{\circ}C$에서 최대 암모니아 합성량인 $3.67{\times}10^{-11}mols^{-1}cm^{-2}$(6.7 mA) 얻었고 패러데이 효율은 0.1%이다.

Seed dormancy behavior of weed seeds is a critical determinant of their survival rates in a given cropping system as it helps the weeds to evade herbicides and other weeding practices. We investigated the effects of red light, alternating temperature, stratification duration and different doses of nitrogen containing compounds alone or in combination with red light on breaking seed dormancy of Chenopodium album L. The application of red light(80 ${\mu}mols^{-1}m^{-2}$) significantly increased seed germination of C. album in all treatments. Germination rates of 12 h incubated seeds were highest under 20 min of red light irradiation than 1 min, 5 min and 10 min treated seeds. Germination rate was significantly higher at alternating temperatures of $25^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$ for 12 h each with an irradiation of red light(80 ${\mu}mols^{-1}m^{-2}$) for 10 min than other treatments. Stratification period of 15 days significantly stimulated germination percentage of seeds incubated in dark, although 5 days of stratification along with red light application for 10 minutes exhibit similar effects on seeds. Seed germination was also enhanced by nitrogen containing compounds like $NaNO_2,\;KNO_3,\;NH_4Cl\;and\;NH_4NO_3$. We observed that seed germination increased significantly with 25 mM $KNO_3$ and 10 mM $NH_4NO_3$ in dark condition, while $NaNO_2$ and $NH_4Cl$ enhanced seed germination under red light irradiation. It was concluded that red light alone or synergized with alternating temperatures, stratification and nitrogen compounds, especially nitrite and ammonium enhanced seed germination of C. album. Thus, the red light can play a vital role in present and future weed management strategies.
