This study investigates the physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics of seasonal salted-Kimchi cabbages to provide basic data on its uniform quality. Generally, seasonal salted-Kimchi samples had different pH values at initial storage periods, but there was no difference in pH between the seasonal samples when stored for longer periods. The samples from the fall and winter seasons were relatively low in acid and high in solid soluble content compared to samples from other seasons. Salted-Kimchi cabbages in the summer showed the highest microbiological number compared to samples from other seasons. In the sensory evaluation, there were differences in the appearance, aroma, and taste, depending on seasonal samples at different storage periods. The correlation coefficient between the quality characteristics in the seasonal samples showed a positive or negative correlation between the quality characteristics at 1% significant level. In the principal component analysis, F1 and F2 were shown the 51.81% and 14.23% of the total variance (66.21%), respectively. In the PCA pattern of seasonal salted-Kimchi cabbages during storage periods, winter samples were distributed on the top of F2, spring samples were in the middle of F2, while the rest of the samples were distributed on the bottom of F2. According to increasing storage periods, initial storage samples were distributed at the left of F1, while other samples were located at the right of F2.

Community organization of the drosophilid flies was investigated with respect to the seasonal variation in species abundance and vertical microdistribution on the basis of the trapped collections in the two natural forests on Cheju-do from May to October 1994. The dominant species were Drosophila bizonata, D. curviceps, D. lutescens, D. angu leris, D. tsigana and D. immigrans in the annual collections. The pattern in seasonal changes of the dominant species was similar at the two survey sites. Seasonal fluctuation in the species diversity was more affected by evenness than by species richness (number of species). The seasonal variation of abundance showed an unimodal pattern in all of the dominant species. The seasonal patterns of vertical microdistribution revealed difference in some of the dominant species between the two survey sites. These results suggest that the predominant species in the forest avoid niche overlap by means of seasonal separation of breedings and that the vertical microdistribution is strongly affected by factors associated with season and vertical site in the deep wooded forests.

This study aims to investigate the change of seasonal trend appeared in the daily normals of wintertime daily mean temperature of Seoul for 1941~1970 and 1971~2000 and the factors to affect it. The lowest temperature in wintertime is appeared in the period of the first and second ten-days of January in the daily normals for 1941~1970 and in the third ten-days of January and the first ten-days of February for 1971~2000. This means seasonal trend was changed. This change is due to the fact average temperature from 27 December to 20 January is rising much more than the wintertime mean temperature and average temperature from 21 January to 9 February less than that for two daily normals. This features are notable after 1971. The Siberian high and norther wind around the Korean Peninsula are weakened remarkably recently, so mean temperature of Seoul from 27 December to 20 January is warming much more. On the other hand, the Siberian high from 21 January to 9 February is weakened and the Aleutian low is strengthened recently and northerly is not change obviously, so temperature of Seoul is not warming so much.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of semen characteristics, frozen-thawed sperm viability and serum FSH, LH, estradiol-17β and testosterone concentrations between breeds and among seasons in boars. In all seasons, Yorkshire boars produced higher semen volume compared with Duroc boars, whereas sperm concentration did not differ significantly between Duroc and Yorkshire boars. Semen volume in spring was higher compared with summer, autumn and winter in both Duroc and Yorkshire boars, but sperm concentration did not differ significantly among seasons. Sperm motility and normal acrosome rate of frozen-thawed sperm produced in spring were higher than those in summer, autumn and winter in both Duroc and Yorkshire boars. Sperm motility of frozen-thawed sperm in Yorkshire boars was higher than that in Duroc boars regardless of seasons. However, normal acrosome rate did not differ significantly between Duroc and Yorkshire boars. Serum FSH concentration in Yorkshire boars was lower than that in Duroc boars in all seasons. However, there were no significant differences on serum FSH concentration of Duroc and Yorkshire boars among seasons. Serum LH and estradiol-17β concentrations did not differ significantly between Duroc and Yorkshire boars. Also, there were no significant differences in serum LH and estradiol-17β concentrations of Duroc and Yorkshire boars among seasons. Serum testosterone concentration in Yorkshire boars was higher than that in Duroc boars in all seasons. In both breeds, serum testosterone concentrations were higher in spring than in summer, autumn and winter. In conclusion, when serum FSH concentrations were low, semen volumes were high, and when serum testosterone concentrations were high, sperm motility and normal acrosome rate of frozen-thawed sperm were high.

Effect of ripening methods and harvesting time on vitamin content of 5 tomato varieties was investigated in 1978 and 1979. Ascorbic acid content in the breaker ripened tomatoes was significantly higher than that in the vine ripened tomatoes, and the result was consistent for two consecutive years. Ascorbic acid content in the vine ripened tomatoes markedly increased as the season progressed, early harvested tomatoes containing significantly less ascorbic acid. Carotene content was not significantly affected by the ripening method. Higher carotene content, however, was observed for tomatoes harvested in the late season. This result could indicate the effect of temperature for carotenogenesis around the harvest time. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in the vine ripened tomatoes were significantly higher than those in the breaker ripened tomatoes in the 1978 season, but these differences were not observed in the 1979 season. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in the vine ripened tomatoes decreased considerably as the season progressed. Thiamin and riboflavin contents in tomatoes harvested in the early season were significantly higher than those in the mid and late seasons.

한강은 서울 지역을 관통하고 있다는 점에서 수도권의 수자원 이용과 폐수 수용체로서의 한강의 역할이 실로 막대하다. 이런 맥락에서 한강에서의 수질오염문제는 주요한 사회경제적 문제 중의 하나로 부각되고 있다. 한강 수질 악화를 방지하기 위한 관리 방안이 이미 시행중에 있으나 여전히 한강 수질 오염은 문제로 남아 있는 실정이다. 이를 감안하여 보다 나은 관리책에 대한 요구에 부응하기 위하여 본 논문은 기존의 수질기준을 최소비용으로 달성하는 비용 효과적인 방식을 시스템 최적화 분석 기법에 접목하는 모델을 구축하고 있다. 이 모델은 우리 나라에 두드러진 수문학적 특징, 즉 자정능력상의 계절적 차이가 지역적 특성과 오염 처리 기술상의 다양함, 그리고 기존의 법적 제도적 특정들과 어떻게 연결되어 얼마나 처리 비용상의 절약을 유도해 낼 수 있는지에 관한 정책정보를 제공해 줄 수 있게 고안되었다. 연구의 결과치에 의하면, 표적 지천상의 지역적 안배와 처리 공정상의 기술-비용적 차이를 고려하고 비갈수기에 처리시설을 신축적으로 운영할 경우 한강 수계에서 BOD 부하량 삭감비용은 상당한 정도( 예로, 1992년 물가수준에서 매일 3,000만 원 이상) 절감 가능한 것으로 나타나고 있다.

산양의 발정주기의 생리와 조절에 관한 최근 연구 보고들과 한국 재래산양의 대한 이들 연구 결과를 모아 고찰하였다. 온대지역에서 산양의 번식계절은 분명하나 한국재래산양의 경우는 비번식계절이 비교적 짧거나 계절적 무발정율이 낮은 편이며, 비번식계절에는 기능적 황체가 유지되지 않는다. 한국재래산양의 발정주기와 발정지속기간은 타품종과 비슷하며, 발정지속기간의 반복력은 매우 낮으며, 발정주기중의 progesterone과 estradiol-17$\beta$의 소장을 규명하였다. 한국재래산양의 경우 황체기에 PGF2 1-3mg을 투여하면 항체퇴행을 유기할 수 있으나 주기중의 투여시기에 따라 투여후 발정개시 시간에 차이가 있었다. 그리고 pro-gesterone priming후 PGF$\alpha$를 투여함으로써 효과적인 발정동기화를 이룰 수 있었다. 분만후 1개월경과 유상후 12일경에 발정이 재귀되었으며, 첫 발정 후 80%의 산양에서 5-7일의 단발정주기를 나타냈으며, 대부분의 과배란유기 산양에서도 단발정주기를 나타냈는데 이는 황체의 조기퇴행 때문이었다. 초발정후 3-5일에 GnRH를 연속 주사하면 단발정주기의 발생율이 유의적으로 감소되었다.

The purpose of this study was to study to the effect of presenting SBF questions on the level of conceptual achievement and eye movement of elementary students in seasonal constellation learning that requires systems thinking. In this study, the effectiveness of SBF questions was divided into experimental groups and comparison groups, and scientific texts with different question types were presented to analyze the level of conceptual achievement and differences in eye movement of sixth-grade elementary students. Data analysis quantitatively analyzed the pre- and post-test results of the developed concept test paper and the eye movement data when learning scientific texts related to seasonal constellations. As a result of the study, first, the SBF question was a valid learning strategy for learning seasonal constellations. The SBF question showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the pre- and post-test between groups, and a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) in the pre- and post-test within the group. Second, SBF questions had a positive effect on students' learning by inducing learners with low preconceptions to area of interest that help them achieve concepts. In other words, when presenting SBF questions with visual data from a space-based perspective, it was confirmed based on the results of eye movement analysis that there was a significant difference in total fixation count (p<0.01) of learners. On the other hand, for learners with high scientific preconceptions, the effect of exploration was not significant because the preconceptions of the learners themselves acted as a hard core rather than the effect of SBF questions. This study is different from existing seasonal constellation learning studies in that it provides quantitative data through pre- and post-test and eye movement analysis in the seasonal constellation learning process, and can help elementary students learn seasonal constellations.

The temporal and depth-related variations in the species composition and abundance of demersal fish assemblage were studied in the coastal waters off Hupo, East Sea. Fish samples were collected seasonally between 2011 and 2017 at two stations of study area using trammel net and bottom gill net. In total, 46 fish species belonging to 17 families were collected during study period, with 36 and 22 species occurring in depths of ~80 m (site A) and ~140 m (site B), respectively. Glyptocephalus stelleri, Cleisthenes pinetorum and Gymnocanthus herzensteini were abundant at shallower site, and Dasycottus setiger at deeper site. The number of species, abundance, biomass and diversity fluctuated with water depth, but not temporally (both seasonally and annually). Analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) revealed that the fish assemblage structures were significantly different with water depth, but not by year or season. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) ordination plot emphasized visually in spatial difference of fish assemblages, and it was due to differential contributions of dominant species in relation to water depth and temperature.

This study was carried to investigate the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of seasonal salted-Kimchi cabbage order to provide basic data for optimal salting and storage condition of seasonal Kimchi cabbage. Generally, fall season samples had slightly higher pH and acidity value than the other seasonal salted Kimchi cabbage. The soluble solids content of spring, summer, fall and winter samples were 5.95%, 6.18%, 6.29% and 7.76%, respectively. The salt content of all the seasonal salted Kimchi cabbage samples were insignificant. The number of microbial bacteria in the summer samples were generally much more significant than spring and winter samples. There was no significant difference in the color of seasonal salted Kimchi cabbage. As for the texture properties, the firmest samples in the surface rupture test were the spring samples (force: 4.92 kg), and the hardest samples in the puncture test were the summer samples (force: 11.71 kg). In the correlation analysis of the quality characteristics of seasonal samples, the soluble solids content and hardness of the seasonal salted Kimchi cabbage was significantly correlated at 1% significance level. Also, in the principal component analysis, F1 and F2 were shown to explain 27.28% and 35.59% of the total variance (62.87%), respectively. The hierarchical cluster analysis of the quality characteristics of seasonal samples, the samples were divided into three groups: spring cabbage group, summer cabbage group and fall and winter cabbage group.
