Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated cotyledonary explants transformation was used to produce transgenic cucumber. Cotyledonary explants of cucumber (c.v., Eunchim) were co-cultivated with strains Agrobaderium (LBA4404, GV3101, EHA101) containing the binary vector (pPTN289) carrying with CaMV 355 promoter-gus gene as reporter and NOS promoter-bar gene conferring resistance to glufosinate (herbicide Basta) as selectable marker. There was a significant difference in the transformation frequency depending Agrobacterium strains. The EHA101 of bacterial strains employed gave the maximum frequency (0.35%) for cucumber transformation. Histochemical gus and leaf painting assay showed that 15 individual lines were transgenic with the gus and bar gene. Southern blot analysis also revealed that the gus gene was successfully integrated into each genome of transgenic cucumber.

The argE gene of E.coli was introduced into #Ilmibyeo# cultivar of rice by Agrobacterium tumefaciens and a large number of transgenic plants were produced. Embryogenic calli were co-cultivated with A. tumefaciens strain AGL1 carrying the plasmid pCAMBIA1300 containing hygromycin resistance(HygR). Transgenic plants showing in vitro resistance to 50mg/L hygromycin were obtained using a selection procedure. Stable integration of argE and HPT genes into chromosomal DNA was proven by southern blot analysis and PCR analysis of genomic isolated from $T_0$ progenies. The fragments of 650 bp(HPT) were detected in transgenic rice lines. The 230 bp(argE) fragments were showed in agarose gel, and detected fragments were matched with size of argE specific primer. The microscopic feature of leaf on scanning electron microscope(SEM) revealed differences between clear and chalky in shape and arrangement of stoma but did not discriminate.

One hundred isolates of Magnaporthe grisea from Korea and China were characterized for pathogenicity using eight Korean differential varieties(KDV), six Chinese differential varieties(CDV) and six near isogenic lines(NILs) developed in China. The restriction length polymorphism of M. grisea isolates from each country also was analyzed using MGR586 as a probe. One hundred Korean isolates classified into 17 races on KDV were grouped into 29 pathotypes on Chinese near isogenic lines(NILs). Virulence of 46% of Korean isolates against all the six Chinese NILs indicated that the current six Chinese NILs alone was not enough to be used as differential varieties in Korea. Especially, susceptibility of the BL1 carrying resistance gene Pi-b to 70% of tested Korean isolates suggested that BL1(Pi-b) may not be a useful resistance source to Korean blast. Based on the virulence assays of M. grisea populations from each country were divided into two groups. About 50% of Chinese isolates showed similarity to the 30% of the Korean isolates. Especially, the isolates from northern part of China, where Japonica rice cultivars were grown, showed high similarity to the Korean isolates, while isolates from southern part of China, where Indica rice were mainly grown, showed low similarity to Korean isolates. The genome RFLPs of Korean isolates were quite different from those of southern part of China using MGR586 as a probe. These data indicated that the physiological and genetical characteristics of M. grisea population might be determined by strong interaction with cultivated rice.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens MP90 harboring PAT (phosphinothricin acetyltransferase) and NPTII-GUS gene were used for the genetic transformation of lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.). Shoot regeneration from cotyledon explants were obtained from the MS medium supplemented with 0.1 mg.L$^{-1}$ NAA, 1.0 mg.L$^{-1}$ 2ip, 50 mg.L$^{-1}$ kanamycin and 500 mg.L$^{-1}$ carbenicillin after cocultivation with A. tumefaciens for 2 days. Kanamycin resistance test of transgenic plants indicated that the NPTII gene was integrated into the lettuce genome and was stably expressed. PCR and northern blot analysis indicated that bialaphos resistance gene (PAT) was stably integrated into the lettuce genome. The transgenic plant sprayed with Basta (1500x) remained healthy with continuous growth, while the control group exhibited fatality.

Multiple geophysical methods were applied over the Manjang cave area in Cheju Island to compare and contrast the effectiveness of each method for exploration of underground cavities. The used methods are gravity, magnetic, electrical resistivity and GPR(Ground Pentrating Radar) survey, of which instruments are portable and operations are relatively economical. We have chosen seven survey lines and applied appropriate multiple surveys depending on the field conditions. In the case of magnetic method. two-dimensional grid-type surveys were carried out to cover the survey area. The geophysical survey results reveal the characteristic responses of each method relatively well. Among the applied methods, the electric resistivity methods appeared to be the most effective ones in detecting the Manjang Cave and surrounding miscellaneous cavities. Especially, on the inverted resistivity section obtained from the dipole-dipole array data, the two-dimensional distribution of high resistivity cavities are revealed well. The gravity and magnetic data are contaminated easily by various noises and do not show the definitive responses enough to locate and delineate the Manjang cave. But they provide useful information in verifying the dipole-dipole resistivity survey results. The grid-type 2-D magnetic survey data show the trend of cave development well, and it may be used as a reconnaissance regional survey for determining survey lines for further detailed explorations. The GPR data show very sensitive response to the various shallow volcanic structures such as thin spaces between lava flows and small cavities, so we cannot identify the response of the main cave. Although each geophysical method provides its own useful information, the integrated interpretation of multiple survey data is most effective for investigation of the underground caves.

This study investigated the causes of large-scale ground subsidence in the upper part of mining cavities of the Samdo limestone mine, Samcheok city, Gangwondo, Korea. Geological and electrical resistivity surveys were undertaken on the collapsed slope of the mountain and in the mine tunnel where subsidence occurred, with geotechnical evaluations and numerical analysis. It is concluded that wide mining cavities, with irregular pillars in unstable rock masses hosting discontinuities, weathered over time, resulting in subsidence occurring along a fault plane due to increasing ground stress.

In this study, a model experiment that simulates the behaviour of the ground composed of several compacted layer was intended to measure the loosened area in the event of a ground cavity through a LAD (Loosened area detector). It was confirmed that the size of the cone diameter was affected by the ground composed of fine grain + granulated soil layered through the model soil. In order to select the appropriate cone type, a scale effect experiment was conducted. From the test results, a micro-cone was chosen for the most suitable indoor model experiment. In the case of applying LAD in this study, the loosening condition of the ground was determined by the rapid change in penetration resistance caused by the difference in the boundary surface and relative density due to the compaction of the ground for indoor model testing. The range of loosened area occurring in the cavity was estimated through the penetration resistance characteristics on the ground, and the failure area was identified through the reduction rate of penetration resistance in the loosening area.

Original play of theatrical troupe Yeonwoo Stage has gone through history represented by (i) the development period of "research on play," (ii) the resistance/growth period of "play movement," (iii) the prime/segmentation period of "metaphor for reality," (iv) the crisis/transition period of "rediscovery of reality," and (v) the challenge/advancement period of the "active development of repertoire." "Collective creation" based on the singe-representative system was a solution to overcome difficult circumstances, crisis facing the theatrical troupe and the lack of resources in the development period and the resistance/growth period, "co-creation" based on the five-representative system, the two-representative system, the system of an operation committee consisting five members, etc. in the prime/segmentation period and the crisis/transition period, and "planning and production" based on the single-producer system in the challenge/advancement period. "Collective creation" system was operated by the entire theatrical troupe, which was led by a director; "co-creation" system was operated by performers, who were directed by a director (-playwriter); and "planning and production" system was operated both internally and externally and was led by a producer. During its long history of developing original play, Yeonwoo Stage has (i) expanded the scope of Korean-style narrative, (ii) succeeded collective creation culture to the next generation, (iii) followed the trend of the times, (iv) attempted to attract popular empathy.

My former thesis was about the present status of Korean film aesthetics of Korean blockbusters through the cultural hybridity. Now this thesis focuses on hybridity and tragedy in Korean blockbusters from the postcolonial perspectives. Typical examples are Shiri, JSA, Taegukgi containing a special Korean situation of division ideology and expressing an extremely Western style of production. These movies hardly provide any historical causes, critical explanation, or vision beyond the discourse of national tragedy. They simply supply sentimental feeling of sympathizing with the misfortune of heroes in the course of national suffering. Therefore, these movies shows limitation not to accomplish postcolonial resistance.

CIGS 박막 태양전지는 일반적으로 soda-lime glass(SLG)를 기판으로 사용하여 SLG/Mo/CIGS/CdS/ZnO/ITO/Grid의 구조로 제작된다. 하지만 SLG를 기판으로 사용할 경우, 유리의 특성상 무게가 무겁고, 유연성이 없기 때문에 건축물 적용에 적합하지 않다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 가볍고 유연한 금속 및 폴리이미드 기판을 이용한 CIGS 태양전지가 널리 연구되고 있다. 그러나, 폴리이미드 기판의 경우, 특성이 우수한 CIGS 박막을 얻기 위한 고온 공정을 사용할 수 없기 때문에 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CIGS 박막 태양전지 제작을 위한 폴리이미드 기판의 특성과 그 위에 형성한 후면 전극의 특성을 논의하고자 한다. 4종류의 폴리이미드 기판에 대한 열 특성을 시차주사열량계(differential scanning calorimeter)와 열중량분석기(thermogravimetric analysis), 열기계분석기(thermo mechanical anaylsis)를 이용해 분석하였다. 또한 Mo 후면 전극을 DC-sputter를 이용해 형성한 후, XRD와 AFM, 4-point probe를 이용하여 결정성 및 표면 거칠기, 면저항을 분석하였다. 결정성과 거칠기는 SLG에 증착했을 때와 동일한 결과를 보였으며, 면저항은 폴리이미드 필름에 증착 할 경우 더 크게 측정되었다. 본 연구는 중소기업청 산연기술개발사업(SL122689) 및 과학기술연합대학원대학교(UST)의 지원을 받아 수행된 "공동연구 지원사업"의 연구결과입니다.
