The complete nucleotide sequences of the mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) from the white-spotted flower chafer, Protaetia brevitarsis (Coleoptera: Cetoniidae) was determined. The 20,319-bp long circular genome is the longest among the completely sequenced arthropods. This extraordinary length of the genome stemmed from 5,654-bp long A+T-rich region composed of twenty-eight 117-bp tandem repeats, seven 82-bp tandem repeats, and each two 19-bp and 38-bp tandem repeats. The P. brevitarsis contains a typical gene complement, order, and arrangement identical to most common type found in insects. The P. brevitarsis COI gene does not have typical ATN codon. Thus, we also designated it as AAC (asparagine), which is found in the start context of all sequenced Polyphaga within Coleoptera. All tRNAs showed stable canonical clover-leaf structure of other mt tRNAs, except for tRNASer (AGN), DHU arm of which could not form stable stem-loop structure. The 5bp-long motif sequence (TAGTA) that has been suggested to be the possible binding site for the transcription termination peptide for the major-strand also was found betweent RNASer (UCN) and ND1, as have been detected in all sequenced coleopteran insects.

This study was carried out to analyze any possible changes in the heart rate variability(HRV) of white-collar workers of a manufacturing firm based in Chollabuk-do Province when they are stressed due to their daily job performance and thereby to help them seek a more effective method of the management of their health and help them form more desirable habits of living by finding out how seriously his or her stresses from his or her job performance affect their quality of life(QOL). As a process of the above-mentioned manufacturer's plan to do an Oriental health examination on its white-collar workers, each of the workers of the firm was given a copy of questionaires. The questionaires carried questions regarding each of the workers' general characteristics, clinical history, health-related lifestyle and the QOL and each of the workers was asked to provide his answers to the questions listed on the questionaire. The examination progressed to measure any possible changes in the HRV of an individual worker. Among all of the questionaires filled out and collected from the workers, a total of 423 data were used as the data of the research except those that had answers which were not appropriate for the purpose of the research. The analysis of each of the workers' health related quality of life(HRQOL) showed that the younger, the lower the standard of education is, each of the subjects was found to tend to show a relatively higher QOL if only he is healthy. With regard to the worker's habits of living, those who exercise on a regular basis and who get a good sleep were also found to have a comparatively higher QOL With reference to the HRV, young workers, those who have spouses, those with a high level of academic background, those with a short work experience were found to tend to have a relatively higher HRV. As regards each worker's habits of living, those who do exercise on a regular basis were found to have a comparatively higher index of HRV. RMSSD was found to have an impact on workers' general health, on the other hand TP was found to have an impact on workers' role of emotion. This result was based on findings through analyzing interrelation between HRV and QOL that stresses have an impact on the QOL. Taking a look at the above results, it was learned that individual worker's efforts to promote his or her health, along with establish desirable habits of living, these two qualities are important methods to improve the quality of life. In addition, control of stresses is necessary to improve the QOL, which is possible through emotional stabilization.

Pine sawyer beetle, Monochamus saltuarius preferred the feed on fresh twig of Korean white pine trees (Pinus koraiensis) than one-year old and two-year twig. It means that the current twig is appropriate to increase the lifespan and reproduction of this insect. In a bioassay after fractionated the hexane layer from the water layer, the hexane layer did not show feeding response; however, the water layer was preferred in the order of fresh twig>one-year twig>two-year old twig. By HPLC analysis, we identified three kinds of sugar, namely, fructose, sucrose, glucose. The quantity of fructose was the highest in fresh twig followed by one-year and two-year old twig. In the preference test using each standard sample, the order was fructose>sucrose>glucose at 10, 30 μg/filterpaper, and fructose>sucrose >glucose at 50μg/filterpaper. From the above result, fructose plays an important role as a feeding stimulant for pine sawyer adult.

Recent years have brought remarkable developments in white light emitting devices (WLEDs) and white organic light-emitting devices (WOLEDs). However, their efficiency, CIE values, CRI and lifetime are still not ideal. This review covers detailed discussion about syntheses of organometallic complexes, inorganic phosphors and quantum dots used in WLEDs, WOLEDs and their electroluminescent properties until December 2007.

경남농업기술원 화훼육종연구소에서 2000년부터 교 배조합 육성을 위하여 국내의 재배농가와 종묘업체로 부터 유전자원을 수집한 후, 2000년부터 2007년에 걸 쳐 교배 및 계통선발육종을 하였다. 2004년부터 2006 년까지 3회의 특성검정을 거쳐서 호접란 신품종 ‘리틀 듀’를 개발하였다. ‘리틀 듀’는 백색 미니 다화성계 품 종으로 꽃잎, 꽃받침, 설판이 모두 백색이며 꽃 크기는 3~4cm 정도이다. 특히 화경이 3~4개 정도가 발생하여 많은 꽃이 피고 꽃배열도 우수하여 관상가치가 높아 시장성이 우수하다고 판단되었다. 또한 조직배양을 통 해 영양번식도 용이한 것으로 나타났고 재배가 용이하 고 생육속도도 매우 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 꽃수명도 긴 편이며 병충해 발생도 적고 저온처리를 통한 개화 조절도 용이하여 상업용 재배에 적합한 품종으로 판단 되었다.

휨이나 압축에 저항할 수 없는 막재료에 적절한 장력을 도입함으로써 안정화 되는 막구조물은, 유지 관리면에 있어서 막면에 도입되어 있는 장력을 설계대로 유지하는 것이 매우 중요하지만, 준공후 막면에 도입되어 있는 장력을 정확하게 파악하기가 어렵다. 저자들은, 직방형의 경계를 가지는 막을 가청역의 음파를 이용해 진동시키고, 진동하는 막의 공진진동수를 측정함으로써 간접적으로 막장력을 측정하는 방법을 제안하고, 막을 진동시키는 음파로서 정현파와 화이트 노이즈를 이용해 검증실험을 해 왔다. 본 논문은 주요 막재료를 이용해 행한 막장력 측정 이론의 검증을 위한 실험 결과와, 실재하는 막구조물의 장력측정을 통해, 본 측정장치의 정확성과 폭 넓은 적용성 및 측정에 있어서의 안정성을 검증한다.
