현재 야외답사는 개발된 야외 학습장의 부족과 접근의 어려움, 학급 당 학생 수의 과밀화, 거리와 시간의 문제, 그리고 비용의 문제 등으로 극히 제한된 범위에서만 행해지고 있다. 이러한 이유로 실제야외답사의 이점을 장점으로 살리면서 현실적인 어려움을 보완하기 위한 대안이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 플래시 파노라마를 활용하여 웹-기반의 가상야외지질답사를 개발하고 이를 다양하게 활용하기 위한 방안을 탐색하는 것이다. 개발된 제주도 VFT의 특징은 다음과 같다: 중 고등학생들에게 화산 지형과 지질에 관한 학습을 위한 가상의 공간을 제공한다; 웹-기반으로 개발되어 학습 내용에 비순차적으로 접근할 수 있으며, 학생들이 자신의 능력에 따라 학습 속도를 조절할 수 있다; 시공간적 제약과 경제적인 부담이 없고, 같은 장소를 얼마든지 반복적으로 탐구 할 수 있다; 학교급에 따라 수준별로 학습할 수 있는 활동지가 제공된다; 지형 지물의 근접 촬영 이미지, 탐구활동과 관련된 질문과 설명, 해당지역의 실제 암석의 표본 사진 및 박편 이미지 등의 다양한 보충적인 웹 콘텐츠들을 제공한다. 개발된 제주도 VFT를 과학 수업 및 비교과 영역에서 활용할 수 있는 방안과 지도 모형을 각각 제안하였다.

This study was performed to identify the differentially methylated region (DMR) and to examine the mRNA expression of the imprinted H19 gene in day 35 of SCNT pig fetuses. The fetus and placenta at day 35 of gestation fetuses after natural mating (Control) or of cloned pig by somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) were isolated from a uterus. To investigate the mRNA expression and methylation patterns of H19 gene, tissues from fetal liver and placenta including endometrial and extraembryonic tissues were collected. The mRNA expression was evaluated by real-time PCR and methylation pattern was analyzed by bisulfite sequencing method. Bisulfite analyses demonstrated that the differentially methylated region (DMR) was located between -1694 bp to -1338 bp upstream from translation start site of the H19 gene. H19 DMR (-1694 bp to -1338 bp) exhibits a normal mono allelic methylation pattern, and heavily methylated in sperm, but not in oocyte. In contrast to these finding, the analysis of the endometrium and/or extraembryonic tissues from SCNT embryos revealed a complex methylation pattern. The DNA methylation status of DMR Region In porcine H19 gene upstream was hypo methylated in SCNT tissues but hypermethylated in control tissues. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of H19 gene in liver, endometrium, and extraembryonic tissues was significantly higher in SCNT than those of control (p<0.05). These results suggest that the aberrant mRNA expression and the abnormal methylation pattern of imprinted H19 gene might be closely related to the inadequate fetal development of a cloned fetus, contributing to the low efficiency of genomic reprogramming.

In this study, we estimated nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) concentrations in microenvironments where residential indoor, residential outdoor, other indoors, and transportation using measured personal exposure and multiple linear regression analysis of time-weighted average model, and compared with measured NO₂ concentration in microenvironments. Measured residential indoor, outdoor and other indoor NO₂ concentration was 22.22±9.59 ppb, 23.64±9.62 ppb, and 22.07±13.90 ppb, respectively. NO₂ concentrations in residential indoor and outdoor, total outdoor, other indoor, and transportation by multiple regression analysis were significantly estimated as 20.48 ppb, 32.79 ppb, 24.35 ppb, and 28.82 ppb, respectively (p= 0.000). Measured and estimated NO₂ concentration were similar with each other, therefore NO₂ concentrations in each microenvironment were able to be estimated using time-weighted average model and personal exposure with multiple regression analysis.

Biodegradable octopus pot was developed to reduce plastic pollution problem in the sea and fishing trouble between fishermen. It can be expect to recycle other wasted biodegrade fishing gear. Experimental fishing was carried out to understand the difference in fishing efficiency between Polyethylene (PE) octopus pots and biodegradable (Polybutylene Succinate and Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate) octopus pots which was tried to make in this study in the sea. There were caught by 237 numbers of fishing during the experimental period. Among the 237 numbers of fishing, 160 or 67.5% were PE pots which were more than the biodegradable pots. A comparison of the monthly catches between the PE pots and biodegradable pots shows that the catches were overall higher in the PE pots than in the other pots. The result is very similar with the comparison of total catches by each type of the pots. In terms of bycatch, the number of species, amount of catches and the number of fishing with bycatch were more significant in the biodegradable pots than in the PE pots.

왕우렁이(Pomacea canaliculata)는 1983년에 식용으로 일본에서 한국으로 도입된 외래종으로서, 농업에서 벼의 직파 논의 잠재적인 해충이다. 본 연구에서는 해충화되고 있는 왕우렁이의 생육특성과 충남 및 전북지역에서의 월동생태를 구명하였고, 또한 농수로에서 수생식물과 수질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자연수로에서 조사결과를 보면 왕우렁이가 높은 밀도로 서식하는 수로에서는 왕우렁이가 서식하지 않을 경우에 많았던 검정말, 붕어마름, 개구리밥, 좀개구리밥 등의 수생식물들이 발견되지 않았다. 폐쇄형 인공수조실험에서는 왕우렁이가 수생식물들을 먹이로 섭식하면서 이들 식물들을 제거하고, 수질 지표인 EC, COD, T-N 및 T-P을 높이는 것으로 나타났다.

21세기에 들어와 국내에 초고속 인터넷의 보급으로 현재 초고속 인터넷 보급률이 전 세계에서 최 상위권에 진입해 있는 상황에서, 과거 전화 접속 네트워크로 인터넷을 사용하던 때 보다 웹 사이트 및 웹 서비스가 활발해지고 있으며, 그에 따른 다양한 서비스들이 지원되고 있다. 과거 PC에서 구동되던 응용 프로그램 군들의 설치가 따로 필요 없이 웹 브라우저를 이용하여 다양한 응용프로그램들이 수행되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 현상을 반영하여 다양한 웹 브라우저 환경에서 영상처리를 쉽게 접근하고 사용할 수 있는 영상처리 애플리케이션을 개발하는 것에 중점을 두었다.

Daily predation of femlae/male O. sauteri during nymphal development were 4.2/3.9, 11.4/9.5, 14.3/10.8, and 14.7/12.5 at 17, 22, 27, and 32℃, respectively, and consumed 14.3/10.8 thrips, 7.5/7.2 aphids, 45.9/38.8 mites at 27℃, respectively. Adult females ate 42.8 thrips daily during preoviposition period and 63.2 thrips during oviposition period at 27℃. Predation by O. sauteri on F. occidentalis increased as the density of F. occidentalis increased. However, the rate of increase gradually lessened, resembling a Holling’s type II functional response. The attack rate of adult female is higher than that of the 5th nymph. Adult female and 5th nymph of O. sauteri appeared to prefer 2nd larva of F. occidentalis.

The golden apple snail was introduced to the Korea from Japan as a potential food for people in 1983. It is one of the pests of direct-seeded rice in korea. This study was conducted to investigate rice(Oriza sativa) consumption and the extent of damage by the golden apple snail(Pomacea canaliculata) in direct-sown paddy fields. Food consumption of the golden apple snail was highest at 30℃. When the emergence of the 1st, 3rd, and 5th leave of rice supplied food, the consumption of young(shell height 15㎜) and adult golden apple snail(over shell height 30㎜) at 30℃ were 19.0/79.8, 11.0/54.5, 5.5/18.5, and 0.0/2.0 individuals, respectively. Young rice seedings(before 5th leaves of rice) are very susceptible to golden apple snail damage because the young, tender leaves and stems favor the snail"s feeding habits. The field experiment with four treatments (0, 2, 5 and 10 individuals respectively per 10 ㎡) was carried out. The most serious yield loss was 16% from the plot with 10 adults released at emergency stage of rice.
