Water resources are the most important resources for all living things on the earth to grow and reproduce, and sustain agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities. Since 97% of these water resources is a seawater, desalination is a practical choice of many water-poor countries. Currently MSF (multistage flash evaporation) and RO (reverse osmosis) that need 25 kWh and 4kWh per m3 of fresh water although thermal methods need 718kWh and pressure based-RO 1kWh. This work focuses on how to estimate highest osmotic pressure of many aqueous saturated solutions such as NaCl and fuel ethanol that reaches 343.07 bars of 26.47%, over 5000 bars, respectively. This work shows that Lewis equation (1908) fits within 10% of OLI pressure and the modified estimation of Chang (1983) within 1% accuracy.

Nomenclatural changes are provided for Sorbus-feeding Cacopsylla moiwasana (Kuwayama, 1908) species group. Thirteen Palaearctic Cacopsylla species have been recorded from Sorbus L. (Rosaceae), and of these, seven species restricted to East Asia. Among the East Asian species, four Japanese species, i.e. C. elegans Inoue, 2004, C. jezoensis (Miyatake, 1963), C. midoriae (Miyatake, 1963) and C. moiwasana (Kuwayama, 1908), assigned to C. moiwasana species group. Above the latter three species very similar to each other, allopatrically distributed, and all or some of them could be synonymous. The present investigation of the type material resulted in confirmation that Psylla jezoensis and P. midoriae should be treated as junior synonym of P. moiwasana. The following synonyms are proposed: Cacopsylla moiwasana (Kuwayama, 1908) = Psylla jezoensis Miyatake, 1963, syn. nov., Psylla midoriae Miyatake, 1963, syn. nov. The species are newly recorded from Korea.

Dendrolimus superans (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) has long been acknowledged to present in South Korea under the circumstance of a substantial change in species names of Dendrolimus. In the present study, we found that specimens of D. superans collected from South Korea were D. sibiricus, rather than D. superans. Comparison of Korean specimens to the D. superans from Japan and the D. sibiricus from Russia in terms of wing morphology, female and male genitalia, a partial COI gene sequence, and a partial internal spacer sequence 2 (ITS2) consistently supported the presence of D. sibiricus in South Korea. Phylogenetic analyses using concatenated sequences of COI and ITS2 from available individuals of D. sibiricus and D. superans both by Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood methods the Korea samples to be D. sibiricus.

During the Joseon Dynasty, Injeongjeon area at Changdeokgung Palace was a core space in which major state affairs took place. Since founded in 1405, the Injeongjeon area’s spatial composition has been changed while it was repeatedly burned down and rebuilt several times. However, despite many studies and researches on the Chandeokgung Palace and the Injeongjeon area, the changes of the area in the 20th century have not been examined thoroughly. This study attempts to find out the procedure and purposes of the remodeling of the Injeongjeon area in 1908. It is possible to presume that the motif of this remodeling construction, worked out by the Residency-General, was to transform the area similar to Ekkensho or Audience Hall area at Meiji Palace regarding the following facts: only Japaneses’ participation in the construction, renaming the area as Alhyunso (Ekkensho), and involvement of Ito Hirobumi . Comparing plans of the remodeled Injeongjeon area at the Chandeokgung Palace with the Ekkensho area at the Meiji Palace, we can confirm this presumption and suggest the possibility that the Residency-General wanted to reduce the majesty and power of the Joseon Dynasty’s Palace by this remodeling.

우리 역사에서 갑오경장을 전후한 시기에는 외부로부터 새로운 사조가 밀려들면서 모든 분야에서 변화가 요구되었으며, 이러한 시대적 상황에서 한글은 국문으로서의 대우를 받게 되었다. 이 시기에 한글의 우수성은 대내외적으로 인정을 받았고 활용적 가치는 날로 증가하였으나, 실제로 어떻게 표기해야 하는지에 대해서는 통일된 안을 이루기 어려웠다. 이 글에서는 당시 국문 표기가 혼돈스러운 상황에서 한글의 실제 표기 양상을 보여 주는 문헌인 「國語綴字捷徑」(1908)을 분석해 보기로 한다. 이 자료는 기독교 선교사로 활동하던 Gale의 「한영자뎐」(1897)의 표기법을 바탕으로 하고 있으나, 당시의 한글 표기 양상을 모국어 화자의 관점에서 서술하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다. 그리하여 한글 정서법의 역사적 흐름을 기술하는 작업 의 일환으로, 이 책을 통해 개화기 당시의 실제적인 한글 표기의 양상을 살펴보는 것은 매우 의미 있는 과정이 될 것이다.
