Rhabditis blumi, isolated from Exomala orientalis, is a necromenic type of nematode that possesses several attributes of a potential biological control agent such as ease in culture conditions, high rates of reproduction and virulence, short life cycle and rapid multiplication etc. Pathogenicity of R. blumi was tested against 5 coleopteran species and 5 lepidopteran species. All insect larvae were susceptible to R. blumi, showing over 60% mortality except for Holotrichia kiotoensis and Ectinohoplia rufipes. The highest mortality was observed in Plutella xylostella (88%), followed by Artogeia rapae, Exomala orientalis, Spodoptera litura and Anomala rufocuprea (over 70%). Reproductive capacity of R. blumi differed from each insect species, ranging from 17 to 656 dauer juveniles/mg of insect larva. Dauer juvenile production was most in Plutella xylostella larvae, producing 656 dauer juveniles/mg of host body weight, followed by E. orientalis, H. kiotoensis, and A. rapae larvae (over 100 dauer juvenile per mg).

나노 규모의 1차원 양자 구조물을 이용한 전자선 차폐 가능성에 관한 이론적 배경과 한계를 정리한다. 나노 구조물을 이용한 전자선 차폐는 차폐재의 경량화와 소형화에 크게 기여할 것으로 예상되나, 실용화를 위해서는 아직 연구되어야 할 분야가 많다. 임의의 1차원 포텐셜 장벽을 대상으로 양자투과계수 계산을 실행하여, 나노 구조물의 전자선 차폐와 관련된 문제점들을 살펴본다.
