This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of male incubating behaviour on hatching rate of giant water bug from May 2, 2011 to September 2, 2012 in the laboratory(24.1±0.2℃) in HECRI. The giant water bug, Lethocerus deyrollei, is the largest aquatic insect in Korea (length, Female: 63.5±0.4mm, Male: 54.0±0.3mm). L. deyrollei has been designated as an endangered species by the Ministry of Environment of Korea since 1997. L. deyrollei lay eggs as clusters on stems or vegetation of aquatic plants above the water. Males do not leave the stems which eggs are sticked until eggs hatched because they protect eggs against predators and supply water to eggs. The incubating behavior of male L. deyrollei was observed three times a day, 06:00, 13:00 and 19:00 respectively and 32 egg-clusters were used. Three treatment - presence of male incubation, absence of male incubation, and artificial removing male - were manipulated to observe the hatching rate of egg masses. There were different hatching rates between presence (67.2%) and absence (1.9%) of male incubatng behavior. In case of artificial removing male, eggs could not hatch. The mean diameter of eggs(2.87±0.03mm) which male incubated was bigger than that of eggs(2.18±0.03mm) which male did not care.

넙치, Paralichthys olivaceus 수정란의 부화율을 이용하여 중금속(Pb, Cr, As)의 독성 영향을 조사하였다. Pb, Cr, 및 As (0, 10, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,500, 5,000 ppb)에 수정란을 48 h 노출시킨 후, 정상 부화율을 백분율로 나타내었다. 중금속을 포함하지 않는 대조구에서는 정상 부화율이 80% 이상을 나타냈으나, 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 정상 부화율은 급격히 감소하였다. 정상 부화율은 Pb, Cr, 및 As에 대해 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, 각각 100, 100, 500 ppb 이상의 농도에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율에 대한 Pb, Cr 및 As의 반수영향농도(EC50)를 이용한 독성은 Cr¤As¤Pb 순으로 나타났다. Pb와 As의 NOEC와 LOEC 각각 100 ppb와 500 ppb로 유사한 값을 나타냈으며, Cr에 대한 NOEC는 10 ppb, LOEC는 100 ppb를 나타내었다. 이들 결과로부터 자연생태계 내에서 Pb과 As의 농도는 100 ppb, Cr 농도는 10 ppb를 초과할 경우 P. olivaceus 수정란의 정상 부화율은 독성 영향이 나타날 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율을 이용한 생물학적 평가방법은 중금속과 같은 유해물질에 대한 해양생태계의 영향을 판단하기 위한 시험방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus) 수정란의 부화율에 대한 중금속(Cd, Cu, Zn)의 급성독성을 조사하였다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn (0, 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 ppb)에 수정란을 48h 노출시킨 후, 정상 부화율을 백분율로 나타내었다. Cd, Cu 및 Zn을 포함하지 않는 대조구에서는 정상 부화율이 80% 이상을 나타냈으나, 중금속 농도가 증가할수록 정상 부화율은 급격히 감소하였다. 정상 부화율은 Cd, Cu 및 Zn에 대해 농도 의존적으로 감소하였으며, 각각 1000, 100, 100 ppb 이상의 농도에서 유의적이 차이를 나타내었다. P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율에 대한 Cd, Cu 및 Zn의 반수영향농도(EC50)를 이용한 독성은 Zn¤Cu¤Cd 순으로 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 이들 중금속에 대한 EC50는 각각 584, 1015, 1282 ppb를 나타내었다. Cd에 대한 NOEC는 500 ppb를 나타냈고 LOEC는 500 ppb를 나타내었다. Cu와 Zn의 NOEC와 LOEC 각각 100 ppb와 500 ppb로 유사한 값을 나타내었다. NOEC와 LOEC 결과로부터 자연생태계 내에서 Cu와 Zn 농도는 100 ppb, Cd 농도는 500 ppb를 초과할 경우 P. olivaceus 수정란의 정상 부화율은 감소할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로, P. olivaceus의 정상 부화율을 이용한 생물학적 시험은 중금속과 같은 유해물질에 대한 해양생태계의 영향을 판단하기 위한 시험방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 텍스처를 이용해서 게임 영상을 해칭하는 렌더링 기법을 제시한다. 이를 위해서 딜로니 삼각화(Delaunay Triangulation)를 적용하여 입력받은 영상의 구조를 반영한 삼각형 메쉬를 생성하고, 실제 연필 스트로크를 기반으로 해 칭 텍스처를 제작한다. 이 삼각형의 각 꼭짓점에서의 영상의 흐름을 분석하고 그 흐름에 따라서 해칭 텍스처를 적용 한다. 이 텍스처는 영상으로부터 샘플링한 색을 수정하여 생성된다. 각 삼각형에 겹쳐서 그려지는 세 개의 해칭 텍스 처는 평균화되고, 이러한 과정이 모든 삼각형에 걸쳐 수행됨으로써 결과 영상이 제작된다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 방법 은 색연필화와 유화처럼 보이는 시각적으로 만족스러운 해칭을 얻을 수 있다. 또한 본 연구에서는 이 방법을 동영상 에 적용하였고, 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The toxicity of Kaempferia galanga rhizome materials and constituents against Meloidogyne incognita second‐stage juveniles (J2) and eggs were examined. The active principles of K. galanga rhizome were identified as the phenylpropanoids ethyl (E)‐cinnamate (EC, 1) and ethyl (E)‐p‐methoxycinnamate (EMC, 2) by spectroscopic analysis. Results were compared with those of carbofuran, fosthiazate, and metam‐sodium. In direct‐contact mortality bioassay, EC (LC50, 0.037 mg/ml) was the most toxic constituent, followed by EMC (0.041 mg/ml). EC was more effective than carbofuran (LC50, 0.092 mg/ml) but less active than fosthiazate (0.002 mg/ml). EC, egg hatch was inhibited 100, 93, and 87% at 125, 62.5, and 31.25 μg/ml, respectively. EMC caused 100, 81, and 75% inhibition of egg hatch at 125, 62.5, and 31.25 μg/ml, respectively. The inhibition of two phenylpropanoids were similar or more inhibition to that of either carbofuran or metam‐sodium but was lower than that of fosthiazate. In contact + fumigant mortality bioassay, EC and EMC treatments resulted in 86 and c 73% mortality at 0.5 and 0.125 mg/g soil, respectively. The lethality of these phenylpropanoids was almost similar to that of either carbofuran or metam‐sodium but was lower than that of fosthiazate. In vapor‐phase mortality bioassay, EC and EMC were more effective in closed container than open containers, indicating that the mode of delivery of these compounds was, in part, a result of vapor action. K. galanga rhizome‐derived materials, merit further study as potential nematicides and hatching inhibitors for the control of M. incognita populations.

Environmental tolerance of three important spider mite predators; Neoseiulus womersleyi, Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Phytoseiidae) was experimented by treating combination of temperature and relative humidity for egg hatching and immature survival. Egg hatching rate increased at the relative humidity incrased for three species. Temperature effects were only significant to N. californicus and P. persimilis. The lethal humidities for three species were in the range of 56-77, 82.0, 66-94% RH, respectively. Larva does not need to feed for larval development into protonymph in three tested species. No larvae survived at lower than 75% RH for N. womersleyi, but around 80% at 95% RH. N. californicus larvae survived around 50% and 100% at 75 and 95% RH. P. persimilis larve survival was decreased as the temperature increased at 75% RH, but platued around 100% at 95% RH. Cannibalism was higher in N. californicus and lower in P. persimilis. Implementation of the results was discussed relative to biological control of spider mites in open field and greenhouse crops.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of laser-assisted hole in the zona pellucida (ZP) of frozen-thawed ICR mouse embryos on the process of hatching that is critical for expanded blastocysts to implant into endometrium, Vitrification medium, composed of ethylene glycol and sucrose supplemented with 7.5% (w/v) PVP, was used to freeze cell stage embryos recovered from oviducts of superovulated and mated female mice before storing them in . Right after thawing them, a laser beam was shot to make a hole in ZP followed by culturing in KSOM for and examining development to blastocyst and hatching every 12 hr. Laser-treated embryos showed significantly higher hatching rate compared to control (92.9% vs. 22.1%, p<0.05). From around Day 4, blastocysts developed from laser-treated embryos started hatching while the blastocysts of control group failed to hatch showing a lot of shrinkage. This study shows that a laser-assisted hole in ZP improves the hatching rate of blastocysts developed from frozen-thawed, in vitro cultured ICR mouse embryos.

We investigated starvation of hatching larvae, occasional artificial hatching and incubation method to establish year-round rearing of the wild silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai. In the test of starvation of hatching larvae for brushing at a time, the survival rate of the fourth instar of larvae starved for 1 day after hatching in 25℃ and 5℃ was 83.3% and 96.0%, respectively. The result represents that the survival rate is high at low temperature during starvation. In the occasional artificial hatching test for multi-times rearing of A. yamamai, the useful hatchability is high at 5℃ in case of preserving eggs for 2 months from incubation time, and at both 2.5℃ and 0℃ in case of over 6 months. A new incubation method with pre-incubation at 15℃ and 24 D photoperiod showed high hatchability about 80% for only 2 days compared with hatching for 5-6 days in traditional incubation method with the preservation at 25℃.

The hatching rate of the eggs of Nannophya pygmaea Rambur, an endangered dragonfly species in Korea, was experimented in different temperature conditions (10, 15, 20, 25, and 30℃) in laboratory. N. pygmaea eggs were collected from female adults inhabited a small wetland in Mungyong-si, Kyeongsangbuk-do, Korea, in July 2006. The hatching rate was evaluated from the number of hatched nymphs for the period of 100 days. As a result, the hatching rates were 83, 89, and 76% at 20, 25, and 30℃, respectively, however, eggs were not hatched at 10℃ and 15℃ during the experiment period. The derived thermal threshold for egg hatching was 14.3℃, which is relatively higher than the values of other temperate dragonflies.
