Various aneuploidy and polyploidy have been reported in the genus Aconitum L. (ca. 300 species worldwide, Ranunculaceae), and there is a demonstrated association between major lineage diversification and polyploidy. This study reports chromosome counts of eight Aconitum from Korea, including the first counts for A. japonicum Thunb. subsp. napiforme ($H. L{\acute{e}}v.$ & Vaniot) Kadota (2n = 32) and A. longecassidatum Nakai (2n = 16). The study also includes chromosome numbers for two taxa on the Critically Endangered species list in Korea. Among Korean native species, chromosome numbers in Aconitum subgenus Aconitum range from 2n = 16 to 2n = 64 with diverse levels of polyploidy (2x, 4x, and 8x), whereas Aconitum subg. Lycoctonum exhibits only diploids (2n = 16). Greater chromosome number diversity in subg. Aconitum than subg. Lycoctonum might explain higher species diversity within the former subgenus (more than 250 species worldwide). Investigating chromosome number diversity of Aconitum in a phylogenetic framework will be a critical step to understand species richness of the genus.

In this paper, The electron drift velocity was measured from an experimental study of the open end heat pipe system by induced current method as alkali metal vapour was generated in ordinary region of a drift tube. The test condition was alkali metal vapour range from 3.6 to 20.1(Torr), temperature of 667 to 755(K), and E/N of $1{\times}10^{-16}$ to $1{\times}10^{-15}(v.cm^2)$. The results of this study were obtained essentially the same as the extrapolated prediction curve for electron drift velocity in the alkali metal Vapour of J. Lucas et 31 with range of E/N: $1{\times}10^{-17}$ to $1{\times}10^{-16}(v.cm^2)$, and the electron drift velocity was obtained the result an increase in alkali to E/N range from E/N $2.8{\times}10^{-17}$ to $5.6{\times}10^{-16}(v.cm^2)$ (E/N From 2.8 to 50 Td).

N+NPP+ HLEBSF (high low emitter back surface field) solar cells which have N+N high low junction in the emitter as well as N+PP+ BSF cells were designed and fabricated by using <111> oriented P type Si wafers with the resistivity of 10$\Omega$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and the thickness of 13-15 mil. Physical parameters (impurity concentration, thickness) at each region of N+PP+ and N+NPP+ cell were made equally through same masks and simultaneous process except N region of HLEBSF cell to investigate the high low emitter junction effect for efficiency improvement. Under the light intensity of 100 mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$, total area (active area) conversion efficiency were typically 10.94% (12.16%) for N+PP+ BSF cells and 12.07% (13.41%) for N+N PP+ cells. Efficiency improvement of N+NPP+ cell which has high low emitter Junction structure is resulted from the suppression of emitter recombination current and the increasement of open circuit voltage (Voc) and short circuit current (Ish) by removing heavy doping effects occurring in N+ emitter region.

Purpose : To describe the clinical, MR imaging, and pathologic findings of pediatric meningiomas. Materials and Methods : The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records and MR images of 16 pediatric patients with pathologically proven meningioma. Mean patient age at diagnosis was 14 years (range, 3-18). MR images were reviewed for details of lesion sizes, locations, signal intensity (SI), marginal characteristics, internal architectures, enhancements, and dural and parenchymal changes. The findings of other imaging modalities and of pathological examinations were also analyzed. Results : Mean tumor size was 5.24 cm (range, 1.3-18.1 cm) and locations were supratentorial in 12 and infratentorial in 4. SI of masses were variable, that is, high in 9, iso in 4, and low in 3 on T2 weighted images (T2WI), and low (n=11), iso (n=4), or high (n=1) on T1WI images. All lesions were visualized as well-demarcated enhancing masses. Five of the tumors were heterogeneous with cystic or necrotic components. Dural attachment was observed in 11 patients and adjacent brain edema in 10. Tumors exhibited hyperdense (n=6) or isodense (n=4) on non-enhanced CT scans, and 3 of the 7 angiograms demonstrated blood supply from the internal carotid artery. Pathologic examinations revealed the following subtypes; transitional cell (n=4), meningotheliomatous (n=4), chordoid (n=2), fibrous (n=2), clear cell (n=1), hyalinized (n=1), rhabdoid papillary (n=1), and atypical (n=1). Conclusion : Pediatric meningiomas occur usually in teenagers, have diverse pathological types, and may produce atypical imaging findings, such as, a heterogeneous internal content or findings suggestive of intraaxial tumors.

Cephalopods are one of the most important fishery resources in the world because of their desirable taste and nutritional value. In south Korea, one of the countries in which a large amount of seafood is consumed, cephalopods (e.g., octopus, squid, and cuttlefish) have an annual consumption rate of over 400,000 metric tons. In this study, octopus and squid products (n=28) sold on the market were monitored by analyzing sequences of DNA barcode markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S ribosomal RNA genes). For species identification, the NCBI BLAST database was screened with the sequences and analyzed as a query. In this BLAST search, twelve squid products showed 99-100% sequence identity to Dosidicus gigas (n=3) and Todarodes pacificus (n=9). In the case of the other 16 products that were declared using octopus as raw materials on the labels, six products were identified as Cistopus taiwanicus (n=1), Amphioctopus marginatus (n=1), Scaeurgus unicirrhus (n=1), and Dosidicus gigas (n=3). Monitoring results indicated that a significant percentage (37.5%) of mislabeling was present in octopus products sold on the South Korean market.

In this paper, we propose new hardware architecture of a fast searcher for an initial code acquisition in wideband CDMA wireless local loop systems. The proposed searcher uses double-dwell serial search algorithm and has N active correlators for the high performance code acquisition. Since the N active correlators are designed with pipelined architecture, it is possible to reduce the hardware complexity with only one energy calculation. Our architecture is designed using VHDL to meet wideband CDMA wireless local loop standard and verified under JTC wideband channels. Average code acquisition time of the proposed fast searcher which has 16 correlators is about 40 seconds in case of initial installation and 0.16 seconds when a base station is known. The verified fast searcher is synthesized with in $0.6\mu\textrm{m}$ LG library. The synthesized searcher has 15.8K rates when the number of 4he correlators is 16.

Red-algae agar, consisting of D-galactose and 3, 6-anhydro-L-galactose, is usable for bio-ethanol production if hydrolyzed to monomer unit. The objective of this study is to produce bio-ethanol from agar using the heat and acid-treatment. Bio-ethanol was produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae KCCM1129 strains using agar-pretreatment. The optimal condition for reducing sugar conversion by agar was found to be 15 min reaction at a HCl concentration of 0.1 N and $120^{\circ}C$. The optimum concentration for maximum cell growth was 0.1 N NaCl (17.88 g/L). Over 0.1 N NaCl, the cell growth decreased to 6.78~10.76 g/L. At 16% agar concentration, the ethanol production obtained by optimum pretreatment was found to be 10.16 g/L.
