  • Seongnyu Cave have developed along the NE-SW direction in carbonate rocks of the Joseon Supergroup. The cave mostly shows horizontal passages and contains three lakes. The main passage is about 330 m long with 540 m-long branches, thus the total length of the cave is about 870 m. Through cave diving, about 85 m-long new passages were discovered. Numerous speleothems such as soda straws, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, flowstones, rimstones, cave shields, cave corals, curtains (and bacon sheets), cave pearls, cave flowers, helictites and calcite rafts can be found in the cave. Especially, some speleothems which were believed to have grown in the past were discovered in the submerged passage, and a few stalactites, stalagmites, flowstones and columns were eroded (or corroded) by the cave stream that flowed on the floor. Because these speleothems only grow in subaerial environments within limestone caves, it appears that they grew when there was no lake in the cave and became submerged as the lake level rose in the cave. The presence of these speleothems in the lakes indicate that they only grew during glacial periods when sea-level was lower. Therefore, detailed investigation of these speleothems will provide invaluable information on paleoclimatic evolution around the Korean peninsula in the future.

  • To explain the origin of the Korean mandarin fish (Siniperca scherzeri), phylogenetic relationships and DNA polymorphism among Siniperca fishes have been investigated based on mitochondrial cytochrome b DNA sequences. As a result, S. roulei were firstly differentiated early in the evolution of Siniperca fishes and the other six species (S. schezeri, S. undulata, S. fortis, S. obscura, S. knerii and S. chuatsi) were evolved slightly later. However, the order of species differentiation among six species was not clear because the nodes of their phylogeny were poorly resolved. The constructed molecular phylogeny revealed three genetically distinct groups of local populations of S. scherzeri. The first group (group 1) is the local populations of Korean peninsula and northern China including Lioaning and Henan. The second one (group 2) is the local populations of Anhui, Fujian and Guangxi. The third one (group 3) is the local population of Zhejiang. The number of nucleotide differences in base pairs were 31~43 between group 1 and 2; 37~44 between group 2 and 3; 27~29 between group 1 and 3; and 1~5 within group 1. Thus, the Korean mandarin fish was likely to be originated from the northern China local population which was isolated from the middle or southern China local populations during the Cenozoic Pliocene. Low level of sequence divergence between Korean mandarin fish populations and northern China population indicated a recent expansion of distribution ranges from northern China to Korean peninsula.

  • Various types of ice distribution under low temperature greatly influence the environment of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. To understand fundamentals of ice properties such as Polar glaciers, icebergs and sea ice, this study focuses on the material behaviors and failure mechanisms of polycrystalline ice. Utilizing the continuum damage theory, a three-dimensional constitutive model to describe creep deformation characteristics in the glacial flow is developed in consideration of micro-cracking as the major physical process of ice deformation. The numerical model is compared with the published experimental data especially in uniaxial constant stress creep tests. The model can simulate primary and secondary creeps as well as tertiary creep characteristics due to the microcrack accumulation.

  • The paleoceanography since 14 ka was reconstructed based on the planktic foraminiferal assemblages of core sediments from the outer shelf of the Korea Strait. Planktic foraminifera in the core sediments can be divided into four assemblages: A, B, C, and D. Assemblage A consists mainly of Globigerinoides ruber group and Globigerinoides conglobatus with low abundance (less than 10%), indicating the tropical-subtropical water mass. Assemblage B is composed of Pulleniatina obliquiloculata and Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, the indicator of Kuroshio Current, and shows the aspect of the inflow of the Tsushima Current into the Korea Strait. Assemblage C yields polar-subpolar species, mainly Neogloboquadrina incompta and N. pachyderma. It decreases upward of the core. Assemblage D contains coastal water species such as Globigerina bulloides and G. quinqueloba. It is abundant in the lower to middle region of the core. From the analysis of distributions of each assemblage and the result of age datings in the core, it is suggested that the Korea Strait played a role of channelling the East China Sea and the East Sea after the LGM (ca. 14 ka). During this time, the coastal water, affected by fresh waters originated from the river systems of China and/ or the Korean Peninsula, flourished around the Korea Strait and theses coastal water might entered to the East Sea. Around 8.5 ka, the effect of the Tsushima Current started to strengthen in this region, and the present current system seems to be formed at about $7{\sim}6ka$.

  • Genetic variations of Abies koreana and Abies nephrolepis were assessed using two mitochondrial DNA regions (nad5 intron 4 and nad5 intron 1) for 16 natural populations to understand their phylogeographical history. Seven polymorphic sites of the two combined regions resulted in the resolution of four haplotypes (M1-M4). The average gene diversity within the population ($H_S$) was 0.098, the total gene diversity ($H_T$) was 0.620, and the interpopulation differentiation was $G_{ST}=0.841$, $N_{ST}=0.849$. The populations were divided into three groups (northern area, central area, southern area) according to their geographic locations. The populations of the northern and southern areas were mostly fixed for M1 and M2, respectively. The populations of the central area showed the highest levels of gene diversity ($H_T=0.654$) due to introgression from the northern area and southern area. The presence of a single mtDNA haplotype in the southern area suggests that current widespread populations have expanded to the central area from a specific refugium population after the last glacial period.

  • 지금까지 나타난 많은 리더십 이론이 주로 기독교 문화권인 서구에서 연구된 것을 문화권이 다른 우리나라에 적용하고자 하는 것이 기존의 연구 경향이었다. 오랫동안 전통이 되어 온 우리 특유의 조직 문화 중에서 특히 관료적이고 권위주의적인 조직 문화에 새로운 변화가 일어나고 있는 과도기적인 현시점에서 최근에 나타난 리더십 이론인 B.M.Bass의 변형적 리더십 이론을 모델로 하여 우리 기업에 적절한 리더십 유형을 찾는 것이 일차적 목적이며 여기서 찾아낸 리더십 유형 별로 조직원의 상사 만족도에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 것이 이 연구의 목적이었다. 따라서 이 논문에서 제시한 리더십 유형을 보면 변혁적 리더십 유형에 속하는 것으로 지원적 배려, 카리스마, 과업 동기 자극으로 3분류하였으며 거래적 리더십 유형에 속하는 것으로 상황적 보상, 예외 관리, 소극적 관리로 3분류하여 모두 6유형을제시하고 신뢰성과 타당성을 확인하였다. 실증 연구 결과를 보면 우리나라는 거래적 리더십유형인 상황적보상, 예외 관리, 소극적 관리가 모두 조직원의 상사 만족도에 영향을 미치는것으로 나타나 Bass의 주장과는 다소 상이하다. 그러나 변혁적 리더십 유형인 카리스마, 지원적 배려, 과업 동기 자극에서는 카리스마만이 조직원의 상사 만족도에 영향을 미치고 지원적 배려는 영향력의 정도가 미약하며 과업 동기 자극은 거의 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 리더의 부하 통솔 및 지도 방향에서 아직도 우리나라에서는 거래적 요소가 짙다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 비록 당분간은 리더가 거래적 리더십을 많이 사용하겠지만 기업의 역사가 길어지고 종업원의 교육 훈련의 기회가 많아지면 변혁적 리더십으로 전환되리라 생각된다.가 단층원주상피세포와 단층입방상피가 부위에 따라 다르게 분포하고 있으며, 상피세포 및 결합조직에는 두터운 근육층이 있어 음경의강한 운동성이 감지 되었다. 제주도 내의 서귀포 부근에서는 현재 천연기념물로 지정되어 있는 서귀포층내에서 많은 화석들이 산출되고 있다. 이 시대는 빙하기와 간빙기가 교호하던 시대로서, 분석 결과에 의하면 서귀포층이 쌓일 당시에 우리 나라는 빙하기의 영향을 받았던 것으로 생각된다.is)은 근섬유가 산재된 두꺼운 벽을 가졌으며 상음경보다 굵은 원통형이었다. 내강은 많은 돌출부에 의해 복잡하게 나뉘어 있으며 상피세포는 원주 세포로 이루어져 있었고 섬모는 관찰되지 않았다. 내강 내의 분비물과 세포의 형태로 보아 내강상피세포는 분비기능을 가진 것으로 사료된다.술적 문제가 적절히 해결되는 경우 비활성 가스 제너레이터는 민수용으로는 대형 빌딩, 산림, 유조선 등의 화재에 매우 적절히 사용되어 질 수 있을 뿐 아니라 군사적으로도 군사작전 중 및 공군 기지의 화재 그리고 지하벙커에 설치되어 있는 고급 첨단 군사 장비 등의 화재 뿐 아니라 대간첩작전 등에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.가 작으며, 본 연소관에 충전된 RDX/AP계 추진제의 경우 추진제의 습기투과에 의한 추진제 물성 변화는 미미한 것으로 나타났다.의 향상으로, 음성개선에 효과적이라고 사료되었으며, 이 방법이 편측 성대마비 환자의 효과적인 음성개선의 치료방법의 하나로 응용될 수 있으리라 생각된다..7%), 혈액투석, 식도부분절제술 및 위루술·위회장문합술을 시행한 경우가 각 1례(2.9%)씩이었다. 13) 심각한 합병증은 9례(26.5%)에서 보였는데 그중 식도협착증이 6례(17.6%), 급성신부전증 1례(2.

  • Molluscan shells were sampled from the continental shelf of South Sea: 19 stations in the southeast continental shelf and 5 in the southwest sea, in order to understand characteristics of sea level changes and time-averaging since the last glacial age. Radiocarbon dates were made on 42 dominant and specific species which were sampled from 24 stations. Time-averaging was observed and showed to be 11,939 years in age difference. The sea-level ranged from 150 to 160 m below sea level during the LGM (about 15,000 yrs B.P). The sea-level significantly rose to 60 m at around 9,000 yrs B.P. and became stable at 50 to 60 m between periods between 4,000 and 5,000 yrs B.P. Between 3,000 and 4,000 yrs B.P, the sea-level rapidly rose to a depth of $10\~20m$ below today’s present sea level.

  • Mineral and geochemical analysis were conducted on two sections (~3.5 m) of red-brown claysilt sediments covering the gneiss and granite weathering zones in Suwon-si for establishing Quaternary paleoenvironmental changes in Korea. The sections were divided into four sedimentary layers (Unit 1-4) by vertical changes in mineral composition and chemical composition. The lowermost unit 1 was a sandy sediment with a high K-feldspar content with a significant contribution of weathered bedrock. Unit 2 was a transition layer showing intermediate characteristics. Unit 3 was a reddish brown clay-silt sediment, with a total clay content of 58% on average, and the main clay minerals were illite-smectite mixed layer minerals and hydroxy-interlayered vermiculite/smectite. Unit 3 contained almost no plagioclase, while the content of kaolin minerals derived by the plagioclase weathering was higher than in the other layers. Unit 4 had similar mineral composition and chemical properties to Unit 3, but had a higher content of plagioclase and chlorite and lower content of kaolin minerals. The chemical compositions of the sections were compared with those in other regions of Korea, suggesting the eolian origin of Units 3 and 4. The paleoenvironmental change in the sedimentary section of this region was interpreted as follows. Weathered products of gneiss and granite, which are bedrocks of this region, were eroded and deposited as sandy sediments in the periphery to form the lower layers (Unit 1, 2), followed by the deposition of the claysilty rich eolian sediments (Unit 3) during the glacial. Unit 3 was chemically weathered during the warm humid climate during the last interglacial, developing a reddish brown color. After that, a eolian sediment layer (Unit 4) was deposited during the last glacial.
