Egg activation is a crucial step that initiates embryo development upon breaking the meiotic arrest. In mammalian, egg activation is accomplished by fusion with sperm, which induces the repeated intracellular - increases ( oscillation). Researches in mammals support the view of the oscillation and egg activation is triggered by a protein factor from sperm that causes release from endoplasmic reticulum, intracellular store, by persistently activation of phosphoinositide pathway. It represents that the sperm factor generates production of inositol trisphosphate (). Recently a sperm specific form of phospholipase C zeta, referred to as PLCZ was identified. In this paper, we confer the evidence that PLCZ represent the sperm factor that induces oscillation and egg activation and discuss the correlation of PLCZ and infertility.

A lot of cargo accidents occurred due to insufficient securing in the case of marine transportation. If the residual tension of securing rope can be predicted, it will be very useful in the handling of cargo securing work of operators. It was confirmed in the previous study that the fluctuation tension cf securing rope by oscillation could be predicted. In this paper, in order to the prediction of residual tension of securing rope, the experiments were carried out to measure the residual tension of securing rope under the oscillation and cyclic loadings. The residual tensions of two tests were in good agreement with each other. It can be predicted through the cyclic loading test in the estimated fluctuation tension without oscillation test by ship motion simulator.

최근 들어 세계의 연중 기후 변화에 주된 요인으로써 엘니뇨와 같은 현상이 매우 잦아졌다. 많은 기상수문학자들이 강수와 유량에 대한 엘니뇨 남방진동의 영향에 대해 연구하고 있지만, 수문변량들은 큰 지역적 변동을 갖고 있기 때문에 결정적인 인과관계를 찾아내는데 있어서 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 엘니뇨-남방진동과 한국에서의 수문변량들 간의 계절석 관계를 고찰하였다. 엘니뇨-난방진동을 정량적으로 표현해 주는 지수로써 남방진동지수를 사용하였고, 월강수량

본 연구에서는 조건부 핵밀도함수와 CAFPE(Corrected Asymptotic Final Prediction Error) 차수결정 방법에 근거한 비매개변수적 비선형 자기회귀 (Nonlinear AutoRegressive, NAR) 모형을 소개하고 이를 SOI(Southern Oscillation Index)에 적용하였다. SOI 자료에 대해서 선형 AR 모형을 적용하였으나 잔차에 대한 검정결과 이분산성(heteroscedasticity)을 나타내었다

본 연구의 목적인 엘니뇨/남방진동(ENSO)과 한국 가뭄의 연관성을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 한국 가뭄의 지표로서 Palmer 가뭄심도지수(PDSI)와 9개 ENSO 관련 지수들에 대한 Pearson 상관분석 및 Spearman 순위상관분석이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 한국의 PDSI를 계산하기 위하여 우리나라의 월강수량 및 월평균기온을 이용하여 PDSI 식을 개발하였다. 또한 PDSI, 강수량 및 하천유량에 대한 ENSO 합성백분위수 분석을 통하

Intraseasonal variability of the tropical convection over the Indian/western Pacific is studied using the Geostationary Meteorological Satellite high cloud amount. This study is directed to find the tropical-extratropical interaction in the frequency range of intraseasonal and interannual variabilities of the summer monsoon occured over the domain of 90E-171W and 49S-50N. Especially, in order to investigate the intraseasonal interaction of East Asia summer monsoon associated with the tropical convections in the high cloud amounts, the spatial and time structure of the intraseasonal oscillation for the movement and the evolution of the large-scale convections are studied. To describe the spatial and the time evolution, the extended empirical orthogonal function analysis is applied. The first mode may be considered to a normal structure, indicating that the strong convection band over 90E-120E is extended to eastward, but this mode was detected as a variable mode near Korea and Japan. The second, third and fourth modes were amplified with the intraseasonal variability during summer monsoon. It is found that the dominant intraseasonal mode of the tropical convection consists of the spatial changes over a broad period range centered around 40∼50days.
