Beetles are one of the most effective transportation for phoretic chelicerata. They use various methods to attach themselves to their hosts, such as developing ventral sucker plates, grasping with their claws and chelicerae, or hiding beneath the elytra. Recently, we discovered new species of two genera: Antennoseius (Mesostigmata: Blattisociidae) and Gaeolaelaps (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) which are hiding under the elytra of Carabidae hosts. In this study, digital images of the beetles, and mites, along with brief diagnostic information and line-drawing plates will be provided.

Blockchain is an immutable ledger that records transactions and tracks assets using a common communication protocol. It stores a copy of the blockchain and implements a consensus function to verify transactions. Blockchain is applied to industries beyond finance, such as retail, to maintain security and transparency. Consumers with knowledge of blockchain technology are likely to be affected when evaluating products with blockchain embedded, impacting their product evaluation. The study investigates the impact of blockchain technology on consumers' product evaluation and how knowledge of blockchain and product quality moderate its effects.

To improve the safety of nuclear fuel, research on the advanced nuclear fuel (UO2) by adding various trace elements is being conducted. For example, the addition of metals such as Mo, Cr can improve the thermal conductivity of nuclear fuel, minimizing the diffusion of fission products. Trace metal oxide additives (SiO2, Cr2O3, Al2O3, etc.) can suppress the release of fission gases. In general, complete dissolution of the fuel sample is required for chemical analysis to determine its elemental compositions. Among widely used metal oxide additives, aluminum oxide is difficult to dissolve in nitric acid due to its excellent thermal and chemical stability. In this study, we investigated on different chemical dissolution methods by applying a microwave digestion system under various acid solutions. We confirmed the validity of the digestion method by carrying out trace element analysis using an Inductively-Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES).

Objective of this study was to evaluate the carbon budget on 40 years old pear orchard at Naju. For carbon budget assessment, we measured the soil respiration, net ecosystem productivity of herbs, pear biomass and net ecosystem exchange. In 2015, pear orchard released about 25.6 ton CO2 ha-1 by soil respiration. And 27.9 ton CO2 ha-1 was sequestrated by biomass growth. Also about 12.6 ton CO2 ha-1 was stored at pruning branches and about 5.2 ton CO2 ha-1 for photosynthesis of herbs. As a result, 25.6 ton of CO2 per ha is annually released to atmosphere. At the same time about 45.7 ton of CO2 was sequestrated from atmosphere. When it sum up the amount of CO2 release and sequestration, approximately 20.1 ton CO2 ha-1 was sequestrated by pear orchard in 2015, and it showed no significant differences with net ecosystem exchanges (17.8 ton CO2 ha-1 yr-1) by eddy covariance method with the same period. Continuous research using various techniques will help the understanding of CO2 dynamics in agroecosystem and it can be able to present a new methodology for assessment of carbon budget in woody crop field. Futhermore, it is expected that the this study can be used as the basic data to be recognized as a carbon sink.

본 연구는 IPCC (2006)의 농업분야 온실가스 배출권 측정의 새로운 지침에 의거하여 과수와 토양, 대기 간의 탄소수지 산정 방법론을 제시하고자 전남 나주시의 배 재배농가를 대상으로 토양 호흡량과 초본류, 그리고 과수의 생태계 순생산량을 측정하였다. 토양 호흡량 및 초본류 생태계 순생산량은 Closed Dynamic Chamber (CDC) 방법으로 측정하였고, 배 과수의 생태계 순생산량은 EddyPro 5.2.1 프로그램을 이용하여 공분산법으로 측정하였다. 배 과수원의 토양 호흡량으로 연간 429.1 mg CO2m-2 h-1이 배출되었으며, 토양온도민감도 (Q10)는 2.3으로 나타났다. 초본류의 경우 측정기간 동안 호흡이 광합성보다 우세하게 나타났다. 2015년 6월 20일부터 24일까지 초본류의 광합성 또는 호흡을 통해 흡수 및 배출된 CO2의 총합은 156.1 mg CO2m-2 h-1으로 상대적으로 호흡이 더 많았던 것으로 나타났다. 배 과수의 광합성 또는 호흡에 의한 CO2 총합은 - 680.1 mg CO2m-2 h-1로 광합성에 의해 CO2가 흡수되었다. 배 과원 단위의 토양 호흡량과 초본류 및 배 과수의 광합성 및 호흡량의 총합은 - 0.04 ton CO2ha-1로 CO2의 흡수원이었다. 결론적으로 배 과원에서의 다양한 접근방법을 통한 향후 다년생 목본 작물 재배지에서의 탄소수지 산정 방법론 제시에 꼭 필요하다고 판단된다.

This study was conducted to find out the soil CO2 emission characteristic due to rain fall pattern and intensity changes. Using Automatic Opening and Closing Chambers (AOCCs), we have measured annual soil respiration changes in Pinus koraiensis plantation at Seoul National University experimental forest in Mt. Taehwa. In addition, we have monitored heterotrophic respiration at trenching sites (4×6 m). Based on the one year data of soil respiration and heterotrophic respiration, we observed that 24% of soil respiration was derived from root respiration. During the rainy season (end of July to September), soil respiration at trenching site and trenching with rainfall interception site were measure during portable soil respiration analyzer (GMP343, Vaisala, Helsinki, Finland). Surprisingly, even after days of continuous heavy rain, soil water content did not exceed 20%. Based on this observation, we suggest that the maximum water holding capacity is about 20%, and relatively lower soil water contents during the dry season affect the vital degree of trees and soil microbe. As for soil respiration under different rain intensity, it was increased about 14.4% under 10 mm precipitation. But the high-intensity rain condition, such as more than 10 mm precipitation, caused the decrease of soil respiration up to 25.5%. Taken together, this study suggests that the pattern of soil respiration can be regulated by not only soil temperature but also due to the rain fall intensity.

Various ecosystem carry out fundamental function of material circulation and energy flow through interrelationship with many environmental factors. Therefore, it is crucial to scientifically understand the value of nature to deduce correlation between environmental factor and change of ecosystem function. In this study, we determined the accumulated ecosystem carbon and characteristics of soil respiration on grassland vegetation in Namahangang basin in Namhangang Basin. It was found that the rate of soil respiration was highly correlated with the soil temperature in all communities. The measured soil respiration rates were 1,539 mgCO2 m-2 h-1, 1,200 mgCO2 m-2 h-1, 1,215 mgCO2 m-2 h-1 in Miscanthus sacchariflorus, Phragmites japonica, Salix koreensis communities, respectively. Also, carbon quantities accumulated in litter and soil layers were 40.6 tCha-1 (1.9+38.7), 46.9 tCha-1 (43.0+3.9), 31.2 tCha-1 (28.9+2.3) in M. sacchariflorus, P. japonica, S. koreensis communities, respectively.
