Three lines from $36_{\circ}$ N, $124_{\circ}$ E, and $132_{\circ}$ E of the East Sea and the Yellow Sea were chosen to extract spectra of normalized water leaving radiances. Comparative analysis of the OCTS algorithm and SeaWiFS(OC-2) algorithms was presented here. OCTS algorithm have more overestimate than SeaWiFS(OC-2 algorithm) for detecting chlorophyll concentration. Atmospheric correction algorithm that is excluded the effect of SS in the case 2 water need for long term ocean environmental monitoring of the East Sea and the Yellow Sea. And, considered the effect of CDOM and SS, bio-optical algorithm have to be developed in this research.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of decision-making activities in lesson on improving decision-making ability to meet bioethical issues in everyday situation. Worksheet for decision-making was consisted of six steps: Identification of problem, searching relevant information, generation of alternatives, identification of values for selection criteria, evaluation of alternatives, review of consequence. The results of this study showed that the scores of decision-making were increased by the activities of worksheets. The scores of identification of problem, generation of alternatives, and evaluation of alternatives were increased meaningfully. However, the scores of searching relevant information, identification of values for selection criteria, and review of consequence were not increased. It seems that all steps of decision-making ability could not improve by short-term learning. Low level performance was appeared on the step of searching relevant information and evaluation of alternatives. This result indicated that students could not apply the biological knowledge to decision-making in the face of bioethical issues. In conclusion, the learning experience of decision-making is essential to foster rational decision-making ability. The activity of decision-making should be included in science class and curriculum.

The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) is one of the most established software in bioinformatics research and it compares a query sequence against the libraries of known sequences in order to investigate sequence similarity. Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) are single-pass sequence reads from mRNA (or cDNA) and represent the expression for a given cDNA library and the snapshot of genes expressed in a given tissue and/or at a given developmental stage. Therefore, ESTs can be very valuable information for functional genomics and bioinformatics researches. Although major bio database (DB) websites including NCBI are providing BLAST services and EST data, local DB and search system is demanding for better performance and security issue. Here we present animal EST DBs and local BLAST search system. The animal ESTs DB in NCBI Genbank were divided by animal species using the Perl script we developed. and we also built the new extended DB search systems fur the new data (Local Animal BLAST Search System: http://bioinfo.kohost.net), which was constructed on the high-capacity PC Cluster system fur the best performance. The new local DB contains 650,046 sequences for Bos taurus(cattle), 368,120 sequences for Sus scrofa (pig), 693,005 sequences for Gallus gallus (fowl), respectively.

Recently, global warming has widened the habitat of mosquitoes and infection chances for mosquito-borne diseases are increasing. Flavivirus is a typical mosquito-borne virus. Flaviviruses with a relatively high frequency of infection in Asian countries include Zika, Dengue, and Japanese encephalitis viruses. Although distinctive diagnosis of flaviviruses is required because the symptoms and therapeutic method differ, there is no diagnostic method that can distinguish them accurately yet. In this study, we propose distinctive diagnosis method of flaviviruses using informations and analysis tools constructed in bioinformatic databases. The envelope protein and non-structural protein 1 which are useful protein for the immuno-diagnostics of three flaviviruses were selected. Their homology was analyzed by multiple sequence alignments and epitope candidates consisting of 10-15 amino acids were selected. Finally two epitopes were suggested to be most useful by immunogenicity analysis and 3D structure prediction. These approaches and results are expected to be great value in the distinctive diagnosis of three flaviviruses with a high frequency of infection in Asian countries.

Many of the historic plant specimens collected from the Korean Peninsula in the early 20th century deposited in herbaria in Korea were destroyed during the Korean War. However, duplicates of the specimens deposited in the Herbarium of the University of Tokyo (TI) remained unharmed. We examined historic plant specimens, identified undetermined specimens, and made a list to provide fundamental information on the early taxonomic history of Korea. One set of duplicate specimens was donated by TI and deposited into the Chonnam National University herbarium (CNU) and into the herbarium of the National Institute of Biological Resources in Korea (KB).

최근 들어 분자생물학의 급속한 발전과 2001년 인간유전체사업의 완료로 인해 전세계적으로 엄청난 양의 유전정보가 공개되었다. 유전자 서열정보는 그 양이 방대하고 다양하기에 데이터베이스 구축 및 분석을 위하여 고성능 컴퓨터 및 정보기술 기법이 필요하다. 그래서 컴퓨터를 활용하여 생물학적 데이터를 수집, 관리, 저장, 평가, 분석하는 연구분야인 생명정보학(바이오인포매틱스)이라는 학문이 지속적으로 발전하고 있다. 이런 생명정보학 발전에 발맞추어 한국과학기술정보연구원(KISTI)에서는 정보기술을 기반으로 한 생명정보 인프라를 구축하여 생명과학 연구자들에게 제공하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 생명정보 데이터베이스중에서 연구자들이 가장 많이 이용하는 유전자 데이터베이스인 Genbank를 활용 및 분석하여 KISTI에서 운영하는 학술논문 제공 사이트인 NDSL(http://scholar.ndsl.kr)과 연계 가능한 서비스 모델을 개발하기 위하여 1) NCBI FTP 사이트에서 Genbank 데이터를 수집하고, 2) Genbank 텍스트 파일을 유전자 기본정보와 참고 데이터베이스로 재구축하며, 3) Genbank refrence 필드에서 논문 및 특허 정보 추출을 통한 새로운 테이블을 생성하여 NDSL과 연계 가능한 서비스 모델을 제안하였다.

심층지하에도 미생물은 존재하고 있는가\ulcorner 이러한 의문은 현재 미국에서 진행되고 있는 일련의 연구로 인하여 그 해답에 제시되고 있다. 심층 미생물 탐색 연구의 시작은 1981년에 시작한 Dept of Engergy (DOE)의 심층지하 운반계획(Subsurface Transport ; SST) 계획이었다. 이 계획의 주된 목적은 미량금속, 무기화합물및 방사능원소의 움직임 및 지하지층과 지하수에서의 수문학적 이동을 조절하는 지질화학, 수문학, 생물학적 과정에 대한 기초연구를 하는 것이었다. 여기에서 얻어진 정보는 지하환경에서 물질들이 이동하며 희석도고 있다는 것과 그에 대한 조건들을 제시해 주었다. 당시 많은 국가들이 심층 지하수를 이용하지만, 그에 대한 미생물 분포에 관한 지식은 거의 없었다.

The aim of this study is to define a correlation between spatial distribution characteristics of FFG(Functional Feeding Groups) of aquatic insects and related environmental factors in the Geum River based on the theory of RCC(River Continuum Concept). For that objective we had used SMRA(Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis) method to analyze close relationship between the distribution of aquatic insects and the physical and chemical factors that may affect their inhabiting environment in the study area. And then, a probabilistic method named Frequency Ratio Model(FRM) and spatial analysis function of GIS were applied to produce a predictive distribution map of biota community considering their distribution characteristics according to the environmental factors as related variables. As a result of SMRA, the values of decision coefficient for factors of elevation, stream width, flow velocity, conductivity, temperature and percentage of sand showed higher than 0.5. Therefore these 6 environmental factors were considered as major factors that might affect the distribution characteristics of aquatic insects. Finally, we had calculated RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) between the predicted distribution map and prior survey database from other researches to verify the result of this study. The values of RMSE were calculated from 0.1892 to 0.4242 according to each FFG so we could find out a high reliability of this study. The results of this study might be used to develop a new estimation method for aquatic ecosystem with macro invertebrate community and also be used as preliminary data for conservation and restoration of stream habitats.

The various spatial structure of biological habitat has tighten relationship with biodiversity. Due to increasing of population, development of agriculture and urban structure, various change of landscape has became these days. These change of landscape has raised the decrease of habitat and landscape fragmentation. This paper summarizes research to analysis vegetation index according to P/A ratio, Shape Index, and Fractal dimension using Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM). The analysis of landscape fragmentation using NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) 0.5~1 has the most profitable for detection of vegetation fragmentation. The analysis of vegetation index of Seoul and Kyunggi province has also showed that Fractal dimension has the most fragmentation index. In near future, time series analysis is needed for fragmentation of vegetation on the same area, and for various landuse of fragmentation analysis. These researches were carried out for preservation strategy of vegetation and biodiversity.
