한국 남해 동부 해역인 통영해역에 설치된 연안 수온 분석 결과, 태풍이 남해안에 상륙하기 전에 수온이 급격하게 상승한 것으 로 나타났다. 수온 상승은 표층(5m)은 물론 저층(15m)까지 같이 발생하였다. NOAA 위성에서 관측한 표면수온자료 분석 결과, 태풍이 상 륙하기 전 한국 남해 동부 해역의 동쪽 해역에 30℃의 수온을 가지는 해수가 존재하였다. 한국 남동해역은 대마난류에 의해 서쪽에서 동 쪽으로 해류가 우세한 지역이나 위성 자료 분석 결과, 30℃의 해수는 동쪽에서 서쪽으로 이동한 것으로 나타나 태풍 상륙 전에 태풍에 의 한 에크만 수송의 영향을 받은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 남해 동부 해역은 한국 동해 해역과 달리 수심이 깊지 않기 때문에 바람에 의한 연 직 혼합으로 인해 전 수층의 수온이 일정하게 나타날 수 있다. 수층별 수온 상승이 같은 날에 발생하였기 때문에 저층 수온 상승은 연직 혼합에 의한 결과라 볼 수 있다. 따라서 한국 남동해역은 태풍의 접근 방향과 고수온의 형성 위치에 따라 에크만 수송에 의해 수온이 급 상승할 수 있는 해역임을 알 수 있다.

수송은 양식어류의 양식과정에서 필수적으로 수행되며, 선별과 같은 물리적인 스트레스 요인 중 하나이다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 해산어류인 넙치를 이용하여 수송 시 염분, 수온 및 마취제의 영향을 확인하기 위해 수송 시 해수 염분(35‰, 15‰)과 수온은 20℃ (natural water temperature, NWT), 15℃ (cooling water temperature, CWT)로 설정하였으며 마취제(anesthesia, Anes., Sigma USA)는 50 ppm 희석하여 염분, 수온, 마취제 요인들을 혼합한 실험구를 설정하였 다. 실험구는 각각 NWT+35‰, CWT+ 35‰, NWT+15‰, CWT+15‰, NWT+15‰+Anes. 및 CWT+15‰+Anes.으로 설정하였다. 스티로폼 상자(66×42×20 cm)를 수송용기로 사용하였으 며, 해수 3 ℓ와 액화산소를 주입한 비닐봉지에 넙치 8마리씩 수용하여 수송하였다. 연구 결과 수송 전 코티졸 농도는 2.4±0.1 ng ml-1로부터 CWT+35‰ 구(16.7±12.8 ng ml-1)를 제외한 나 머지 실험구에서 유의하게 높아졌다. K+ 농도는 수송 전 3.1±0.0 mEq l-1로부터 NWT+15‰ 구에서 4.5±1.1 mEq l-1로 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 나머지 실험구에서는 모두 유의하게 높은 값을 보였다. 혈액성상의 변화에는 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 수온과 마취제는 스트레스를 유발 로 인한 삼투압조절에 부정적인 영향을 미쳤다. AST, ALT에는 영향을 미치지 않았다.

본 연구는 라텍스 매트리스가 수면의 질과 편안함에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 대상자들은 임상 의의 진찰을 통해 중증의 불면증을 비롯한 수면에 영향을 줄 수 있는 질병이 없는 건강한 성인 11명(남 5명, 여 6명, 나이 37.7세, 키 167.8cm, 체중 67.0kg)으로 구성되었다. 대상자들은 개인 생활공간에서 7일 동안 사용하던 스프링 매트리스에서 수면을 취하였고, 이를 웨어러블 디바이스(Fitbit)와 수면일지, PSQI, ISI, 만족도 설문을 사용하여 기록 하였다. 이어서 대상자들의 매트리스를 라텍스 매트리스로 교체하여 14일 동안 사용하게 하였고, 이를 기록하였다. 그 결과 Fitbit 상에서 라텍스 매트리스를 사용 후 주중 수면 시간이 62.9분, 주말 수면 시간은 53.2분 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, ISI 설문에서는 3.8점이 유의하게 감소하였다. PSQI 설문에서는 poor sleeper가 10명에서 7명으로 줄었으 나 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았고, 만족도 설문에서는 허리, 목, 어깨의 편안함이 유의하게 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 볼 때, 라텍스 매트리스는 객관적 및 주관적 수면의 질에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.

콩명나방은 콩과작물 특히 팥을 가해하는 해충으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 콩명나방의 생물적 특징을 알아보기 위해 발육단계별 발육기 간, 성충의 수명과 번식능력을 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34°C 항온조건에서 조사하였다. 알은 모든 항온조건에서 부화하였고 유충은 16~ 31°C 온도조건에서 성공적으로 성충까지 발육을 완료하였다. 알의 발육기간은 31°C까지 온도가 상승할수록 짧아지다가 이후 온도에서 길어지 는 경향을 보였다. 유충, 번데기의 발육기간과 성충수명은 온도가 상승할수록 감소하였다. 콩명나방 발육단계별 발육 최저, 최고 한계는 LRF와 SSI모델을 이용하여 계산하였고 발육영점온도와 유효적산온일도는 선형회귀분석을 이용하였다. 1령 유충 부화부터 성충출현까지의 발육영점온 도와 유효적산온일도는 12.8°C와 280.8DD였다. SSI모델을 이용하여 추정한 부화부터 성충출현까지 발육최저 및 최고온도는 14.2°C과 31.9°C였고 이들간의 차이 즉 발육적정온도범위는 17.7°C였다. 온도와 관련된 콩명나방 성충의 생존, 수명, 산란기간, 산란수 자료들을 이용하 여 산란모형을 작성하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 온도발육모형과 산란모형은 야외에서 콩명나방의 개체군동태를 이해하고 콩과작물의 종합적인 해충군관리체계 확립에 기여할 것으로 보인다.

흑다리긴노린재 약충 및 성충에 의한 벼 이삭 피해를 다양한 조건에서 분석하였다. 흑다리긴노린재 약충 1마리를 1일간 접종하였을 경우 주당 평균 2.7개, 16마리를 16일간 접종하였을 때 주당 평균 132.3개의 반점미가 발생되었다. 접종밀도와 반점미 발생 입수와는 고도의 정의 상 관관계를 나타내었다(Y = 8.8446X, r2 = 0.9622). 출수기에 흑다리긴노린재 성충 1쌍을 접종한 경우 벼 수확 시 발생한 피해로 동할미율은 40.2%, 반점미율은 30.5%였으며, 16쌍을 처리한 경우 동할미율은 81.7%, 반점미율은 74.5% 발생되었다. 벼의 등숙 정도에 따른 피해 양상을 분석한 결과 출수 초기에 가해하였을 경우에는 벼의 등숙율을 감소시키는 경향을 보였으며, 중기 및 후기에 가해하였을 경우 동할미율과 반점미 율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내어 가해시기에 따라 벼 이삭 피해의 차이가 현저하였다.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of vibration on primary (e.g. plasma cortisol), secondary (e.g. plasma glucose, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Na+, K+ and Cl- and tertiary (e.g. mortality) stress responses in cultured eel, Anguilla japonica. For this purpose, three groups (including one control group and two stress groups) were set up. The control group was made exposed to vibration corresponding to 48 decibel (dB, V) (produced using electric vibrators) for 15 minutes per hour every day, and the two stress groups was made exposed to vibration corresponding to 58 and 68 dB (V) (produced using the same electric vibrators), equally, for 15 minutes per hour every day. Blood was sampled at day 0 (before starting vibration stress tests, BS), and days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 (after starting vibration stress tests). As a result, plasma cortisol showed trend to continuously rise by consecutive stress from 4.1±0.1 ng/ml in BS. In 48 dB group (control), cortisol showed the highest level with 7.6±0.9 ng/ml after 7 days (p <0.05), but at 9 and 11 days was not significantly compared with BS level. In 58 dB group, the cortisol showed the highest level with 43.1±4.8 ng/ml after 1st day. Cortisol of 68 dB group increased significantly during the experimental period (14.4±2.3~32.0± 5.7 ng/ml) (p<0.05). In 58, and 68 dB groups during the experimental period differed significantly compared to 48 group (p <0.05). Glucose in 48 dB were increased from 42.0 ±5.7 (BS) to 52.5±2.1 (1 day), the level was not significantly from 1 to 11 days. Glucose in 58 and 68 dB groups was increased significantly than BS during experimental period (p <0.05). K+ in 68 dB increased significantly (p <0.05) from 2.3±0.2 mE/ql (BS) to 3.3± 0.5 mE/ql at 5 days. In 48 and 58 dB groups during the experimental period differed significantly (p <0.05). Na+ and Cl- levels were not differed significantly during the experimental period. AST and ALT in 58 and 68 dB groups showed trend to continuously rise by consecutive stress. At 7 and 9 days in AST, between 48, 58 and 68 dB groups differed significantly (p <0.05). In 48, 58 and 68 dB groups at 1 day, blood hematocrit increased significantly higher than BS. The 11 days after vibration stress, the mortality in 48, 58 and 68 dB groups was 1.1, 5.1 and 5.8%, respectively. The present results have shown that A. japonica exhibited ''typical'' physiological responses when exposed to chronic vibration stress. These data suggested that chronic vibration stress caused substantial stress in the fish; especially the persisting elevated plasma AST and ALT levels observed would be expected to adverse effect. In conclusion, chronic vibration stress could greatly affects the hematological characteristics in A. japonica.

This study is aimed comparative analysis for business performance of land-based ezo abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) seed farms by standardizing cost structures by region and farming size. The result of survey on average farming incomes by region showed that farming incomes in Haenam and Jindo regions were much higher than those in other regions. Followed by Wando region, incomes in other regions were analyzed to be relatively lower. It is shown that farming incomes became higher as farm size increased. Farming incomes per unit size which were modified from farming incomes by region were highest in Jindo region, followed by East sea region, Wando and Haenam regions. Incomes in Jeju and Yeosu regions were analyzed to be relatively lower. Results on farming incomes per unit size (m2) showed that both farming incomes and profits became higher as size increased. It implies that a scale effectiveness might exist in case of land-based abalone culture system. Impacts of major factors on farming profits and returns on investment in abalone seed aquaculture are summarized as follow. First, only if the survival rate increased by 10% with improvement of component ratio, variable effects became largest. In variable effects of other factors, a variation in Jindo region was largest and on the other hand, a variation in Yeosu region was shown to be smallest.

Tetranychus urticae was collected from greenhouse roses to monitor the development of acaricide resistance. Dose-mortality lines were estimated on 16 regional populations with 13 acaricides. For each acaricide, LC50s of the populations were plotted to check normality. LC50s of eight acaricides showed normal distribution and five others did not. An index of Ln (recommended dose/LC50 for each acaricide) checked the development of resistance to populations. The index is based upon recommended dose to control a pest stage and empirical LC50 got from serial dilution range for each pesticide. We tried to categorize acaricides by index due levels of effectiveness to mites: tebufenpyrad, fenpyroximate, bifenthrin, and fenbutatin oxide as non-effective acaricides with less than index 1.0, chlorpyrifor+bifenthrin and milbemectin as alert level placed between 1.0 and 2.0, acequincyl as caution between 2.0 and 3.0, and abamectin, cyflumetofen, bifenazate, chlorfenapyr+fulacrypyrim and propargite as effective over 3.0. We also tested the similarity of acaricide actions for choosing effective acaricides against resistant mites and of populations for resistance management. We could make several acaricides groups: group1 including abamectin, cyflumetofen, and bifenazate group 2 propargite and chlorpyrifos+bifenthrin group 3 chlorfenapyr and acequinocy and group 4 mibemectin, fenyroximate, and bifenthrin, by which we can suggest not to use acaricide within the same group to avoid the resistance development. Populations grouping would imply similar practices of acaricide use, so we can manage pesticide usage, effectively. Group A includes Gimhae 2, 3, 4, 5, Jincheon2, and Taean, and Group B includes Goyang, Gangjin1, Paju, Gangin2 and Namwon.

We developed and characterized five polymorphic microsatellites of Nilaparvata lugens from hybridization method using biotin enrichment strategy and two polymorphic microsatellites from Next Generation Sequencing. Also 11 microsatellites that developed by Sun et al. (2011) are employed to carry out genetic analysis of N. lugens in Southeast Asia. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 12 with an average of 4.63 alleles per locus. The mean observed heterozygosity of the eleven populations ranged from 0.031 to 0.938 and the expected hetetrozygosity ranged from 0.031 to 0.881. Signifiant genetic differentiation was detected among the three N. lugens populations as the FST ranged from 0.028 (Cheong Do and Ha Long) to 0.161 (CH and BN). The results of microsatellite marker suggested that found N. lugens migrated to Korea at least two times in different period or once. Genetic distance of N. lugens between Korea and Hi Pong were mostly closed and genetic distance of Ha Long and HCM were relatively closed. In this study, development of microsatellites should facilitate the study of future population genetics of N. lugens, and eventually elucidate the route of N. lugens migration to Korea. Thus, combining satisfactory microsatellite markers and intensive surveillance methods in paddy field could be easy to understand to the N. lugens migration mechanism.

In Korea, agricultural environment has been rapidly changed by several factors and the directions of agricultural policy of government have not been maintained by the sudden changes in recent years. The paradigm of agriculture policy is shifted from the maintenance and conservation of agricultural production to the increase of economic, social and ecological value based on agricultural profitability. The agricultural policy and production system are changed by following main social concerns; first the concern of the exhaustion of natural resources, second the quality of life is decreased by the physical and biological change of climate disturbance, third the deterioration of living environment by human activity and finally, the attention of food security by the unbalance and decrease of food production. Furthermore, in spite of low food (23%) and energy (29%) self-sufficiency, it would seem that the importance of the expansion and improvement of food production is not considered by agricultural policy makers. The foundation of agricultural production is collapsed and weakened because the policy makers decide to relegate the importance of food production to lower priority. Our present life style will be changed by the exhaustion of carbon energy. As a result, the production system of agricultural products will be improved and the price of the products will be increased. It is discussed how our agricultural environment will be changed with the surroundings, what factors, specially climate changes, will be considered to research pest management, and how the strategy of green pest management based on sustainable agriculture will be possible.

An expression of adult wing form in reaction to rearing density during nymphal stage was investigated in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens. Under mass rearing condition, the S-BPH and the 2007-BPH population predominantly showed a short-winged, brachypterous, form and a long-winged, macropterous, form, respectively. At rearing density of less than 5 nymphs in the 2007-BPH, 90% of females showed brachypterous form, but all males became macropterous form. The ratio of macropterous form in the 2007-BPH males decreased by 75% in 10 to 15 rearing density, but increased by more than 95% again at 20 to 30 rearing density. In the case of the 2007-BPH females, the ratio of macropterous form gradually grew from 31% at 10 nymphal density to 92% at 20 nymphal density. All females originated from the S-BPH showed brachypterous form, regardless of nymphal density. The ratio of macropterous males in the S-BPH rapidly went down from 74% at 1 nymphal density to 10% at 10 nymphal density. At 20 nymphal rearing density, all males of the S-BPH showed brachypterous form. On the other hand, other brachypterous (OJ67-BPH) and macropterous (2006-BPH) population produced similar results with above the two populations at 1 nymphal rearing density. In summary, these results demonstrate that wing form dimorphism in N. lugens is largely influenced by nymphal density and the wing form at a specific density (low or high) can be different by sex or N. lugens populations.

The toxicity of materials derived from rhizome of Cnidium officinale Makino to adults from B and Q biotype of Bemisia tabaci was examined using a leaf-dipping bioassay. Results were compared with those of two currently used insecticides: acetamiprid and thiamethoxam. The active principles of C. officinale rhizome were identified as butylidenephthalide (1), ligustilide (2), and 3-butylphthalide (3) by spectroscopic analysis. These compounds exhibited 100% mortality against both B and Q biotype adults at 2.5 mg/ml. At a concentration of 1.25 mg/ml, butylidenephthalide produced 88 and 92% mortality against B and Q biotype adults, respectively. 3-butylphthalide showed 100 and 89% mortality against B and Q type adults, respectively. Ligustilide exhibited 97 and 100% mortality against B and Q type adults, respectively. The toxicity of these compounds to B type adults was almost equal to that of thiamethoxam and acetamiprid, whereas two insecticides exhibited 40% mortality to Q biotype. C. officinale rhizome-derived materials merit further study as potential insecticides for the control of B. tabaci populations due to global efforts to reduce the level of highly toxic synthetic pesticides.

Purpose : The prescriptions of Dongyisoosebowon (東醫壽世保元) are so different to those of existing Korean medicine(韓醫學). Because Lee Jema (李濟馬, 1837-1900, the author of Dongyisoosebowon) has classified herbal medicines(本草) by the four Sasang constitutions(四象體質). But he has not explained his method in detail. Therefore we make a plan to analyze the herbal medicine of the Dongyisoosebowon prescription by Sung․M i․Guikyung(性․味․歸經), the essential elements of the herbal medicines, to get a idea how Lee Jema has classified the herbal medicines by four Sasang constitutions. Methods : The herbal medicines are chosen from Dongmuyugo(東武遺藁) and Dongyisoosebowon. And they are rearranged by Sung․Mi․Guikyung from Shinnongbonchokyung(神農本草經), Tangaekboncho(湯液本草) Dongyibogam(東醫寶鑑) and Imsangbonchohak(臨床本草學, Clinical Herbology). Result : The herbal medicines classified by Lee Jema have a characteristic trend by their Sung․Mi․Guikyung. In the herbal medicines of Soumin (少陰人), 81.8% of them is characterised in Warm and hot medicine (溫熱藥材) and 68.2% has its action to Bi(脾). In those of Soyangin, 75% of them is characterised in Cool and cold medicine (寒凉藥材) and 60% to Sin(腎), 25.7% to Bangkwnag(膀胱). In those of Taeumin, 63% of them is characterised in Warm and hot medicine, 47.8% in Cool and cold medicine. In all of their classifications, the result of Yakmi(藥味, taste of herbal medicine) analysis is not characteristic. Conclusion : The herbal medicines classified by Lee Jema have a characteristic trend by their Sung․Guikyung.

Photochemical-Trajectory model was used to understand the production of ozone in the atmospheric boundary layer. This model was composed of the trajectory and the photochemical models. To calculate trajectories of air parcels, winds were obtained from the three-dimensional nonhydrostatic mesoscale model (PSU/NCAR MM5V2), and the results were interpolated into constant height surfaces. Numerical integration in the trajectory model was performed by the Runge-Kutta method. The photochemical model consisted of chemical reactions and photodissociation processes. Chemical equations were integrated by the semi-implicit Bulirsch-Stoer method. We performed our experiments from 21 July to 23 July 1994 during the summer time for Seoul area. During the time of maximum ozone concentration in Seoul, four trajectories of air parcels which traveled from Inchon to Seoul were selected. Ozone concentrations estimated by two models are compared with observed one in Seoul area and the photochemical-trajectory model is better fitted than pure photochemical model. During the selected period, high ozone concentrations in Seoul area were more influenced by transferred pollutants from Inchon than emitted pollutants in Seoul.
