Sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), is a serious pest of many economically important crops. The insect has developed resistance to chemical insecticides. Therefore, the development of microbial agent is necessary. Among the several entomopathogenic fungi, Lecanicillium lecanii Btab01 which has high insecticidal activity was carried out this experiments. To develop mass culture, we subcultured L. lecanii Btab01 on PDA, TSA, SDA+Y, RA and GSA media at 25℃ incubator to select the optimal solid culture medium. Hyphal growth was measured every 3 or 4 days. L. lecanii Btab01 grew fastest in RA, followed GSA, SDA+Y, PDA and TSA. L. lecanii Btab01 was cultured on PDB, TSB, SDB+Y, RB, GSB media at 25℃, 180rpm shaking incubator to select the optimal liquid medium. Spore germination was measured by spread plate method every 12 or 24 hours. Spore germination appeared 7.8×108 CFU/ml after 4 days in RB, followed GSB (5.5×108 CFU/ml), SDB+Y (2.7×108 CFU/ml), TSB (1.7×108 CFU/ml) and PDB (0.6×108 CFU/ml).

We tested differences in female pheromone production and male response in three species of the genus Adoxophyes in Korea. Females of all three species produced mixtures of Z9-14:OAc and Z11-14:OAc as major components but in quite different ratios. The ratio of Z9-14:OAc and Z11-14:OAc in pheromone gland extracts was estimated to be 100:198 for A. honmai, 100:23 for A. orana, and 100:3880 for A. sp. Field tests showed that males of each species were preferentially attracted to the two-component blends of Z9-14:OAc and Z11-14:OAc mimicking the blends found in pheromone gland extracts of conspecific females. The effects of minor components identified in gland extracts on trap catches varied with species. Addition of 10me-12:OAc or E11-14:OAc to the binary blend of Z9-14:OAc and Z11-14:OAc significantly increased captures of A. honmai males, whereas E11-14:OAc exhibited a strongly antagonistic effect on catches of A. sp. males. Moreover, Z9-14:OH or Z11-14:OH added to the binary blends increased attraction of male A. orana but not A. honmai and A. sp. males, suggesting that these minor components, in addition to the relative ratios of the two major components, play a noteworthy role in reproductive isolation between Adoxophyes species in the southern and midwestern Korea where these species occur sympatrically.

수평 배향 액정 모드는 양의 유전율 이방성과 음의 유전융 이방성 액정을 사용한 프린지 필드 스위칭과 양의 유전율 이방성 액정을 사용한 인플래인 스위칭 모드가 대표적이다 . 이 대표적인 세 구동 방식의 화질 특성을 비교하기 위하여 각각의 최척화된 위상지연 값 조건하에서 밝기, 명암대비율과 색 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 양액정과 음액정을 사용한 프린지 필드 스위칭 모드가 밝기와 명암대비율 면에 있어서 인플래인 스위칭 모드보다 우수한 특성을 보인다. 또한 양액정을 사용한 프린지 필드 스위 칭 모드는 시야각 방향에서 적은 색 변이 특성을 보인다.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the 1st most common malignancy in oral and maxillofacial area. HPV 16 has been strongly linked to progression of cervical carcinoma. E6 and E7 as a small DNA virus encoding two major oncoproteins of HPV 16 can act together to produce efficient immortalization of primary human epithelial cells. Thus it is important to pursue the development of Immortalized human oral keratinocyte(IHOK) culture model which could be related to the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma. If we establish IHOK transfected by E6/E7 genes, IHOK will be accepted as a model system for HPV-linked oral carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study were to culture primary normal human oral keratinocyte(NHOK), and to establish IHOK for studying oral carcinogenesis in the future. NHOK was primarily cultured under normal culture condition, and transformed into IHOK by transfection of E6/E7 genes. After 100 passages depend on Ca++ condition, cultured IHOK was confirmed by growth curve, cornified cell envelope measurement, TGase 1activity, mRNA detection, tumorogenecity and anchorage independence assay. After 100 passages, cultured IHOK showed most basal cell and monolayer of polyhedral cells under 0.15mM Ca++, and small area of stratification and flattened epithelial cells with irregular border under 1.2mM Ca++. The cultured IHOK showed relatively resistant growth under high calcium condition. The E6/E7 mRNA was detected in cultured IHOK by RT-PCR. During the terminal differentiation in cultured IHOK, increased insoluble cornified cell envelope formation was accompanied with induction of TGase 1 activity. But the cultured IHOK showed less CEM and TGase 1 activity than those of cultured NHOK. Cultured IHOK showed non-tumorogenecity, but slight anchorage independence. We had developed a technique to transform NHOK into IHOK by transfection of E6/E7 genes. Cultured IHOK was established as intermediate stage cell to study the pathogenesis of human oral squamous cell carcinoma.

A series of high resolution spectra of CH Cygni obtained at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) in April 2004 has been analyzed. The emission components of the [O I] 6300 A lines are de-convoluted and fitted with Gaussian functions in order to investigate the characteristics and the structure of CH Cygni system along with the analysis for Hα and [O III] lines. A present geometrical structure of the components of CH Cygni system is suggested.
