This study aimed to understand social interactions by observing the courtship and attack behavior between individuals of 15 (6 females and 9 males) Reeves' turtle (Mauremys reevesii) in captivity in the Wolchulsan National Park. CCTV was installed in the study area from May 18, 2020 to October 19, 2020 and recorded 3 days a week (24 hours/day) for a total of 64 days and analyzed at intervals of 10 minutes per hour. Male turtle courtship was observed 884 times in total, with the heaviest females receiving the highest courtship frequency (357 times) and the smallest females receiving the least courtship (3 times). Of a total of observed 259 aggressive behaviors, 30 were for female to female, 81 for male to male, and 148 for female to male. Dominance hierarchy identified based on the result ranked females higher overall than males, and the larger the body, the higher the ranking. This study was the first in Korea to confirm individuals with high probability of reproduction through the frequency of courtship in the Reeves' turtle and investigate dominance hierarchy according to attack behavior. Our results can be used as reference behavioral data for managing and protecting the endangered Reeves' turtles and will help us understand their social structure.

금융가격별 지표의 변동성 증가에 대처하려는 보수적 투자가들이 이용할 수 있는 매력적 방안의 하나가 보험부 투자기법이다. 그러나 이 투자유형은 설계에 상당한 신축성을 보이며 이는 동시에 투자성과 구조의 신축성으로 반영된다. 주요한 설계차원의 하나가 위험투자의 손실발생시 보상차원이다. 여기에 일반적 보험개념을 적용할 때 투자가가 직면하는 선택문제의 하나는 부분보험계약형 투자설계시 공제부보험형 전략과 공동보험형 전략간의 선택이다. 일반적 보험 이론에서는 전자가 후자에 대해 우월한 유형이라는 것이 밝혀져 있다. 본 연구는 이를 보험부투자에 응용할 때도 양 전략간에 어떠한 우월관계가 존재하는 지 알아보려 시도했다. 이를 위해 효율성 평가기준의 하나인 간편한 확률적 지배기준을 적용하였으며 분석결과는 생산적이었다. 두 전략 각각의 기대수익률의 확률분포를 대상으로 기대수익률이 상대적으로 공제부보험형 전략에서 공동보험형 전략에서보다 상대적으로 높거나 최소한 같은 경우에 전자가 후자를 지배하며 그 반대조건인 경우에는 양 전략간에 우열관계가 나타나지 않는다는 결과를 얻었다.

This report is prepared to promote cocoon natures for the use of silk reeling material. It is easily understandable that there must be disuniformity composed with superior group and inferior group in commercial silkworms. If such different groups be seperated by some method, it would be a great contribution for the cocoon production. For a comparative purpose, silkworm sex seperation carried out because male silkworms produce more silk than female worms. The author has developed a new chemical reagent available for the seperation of superior group and inferior group from commercial silkworms, which he has named it as Better Hybrid Controller (BHC). The obtained comparative results are summarized as followings. 1. Basic investigation of BHC application a) In case BHC applied with hybrid worms and pure line, the former one starts to adapt mulberry leaves earlyer than pure line variety. b) The mulberry adapting interval distribution of pure line worms after BHC application showed U type distribution, but hybrid worms showed L type or Poisson's distribution. c) In case of BHC application with silkworms, the longer period application is, the duller distribution was formed. d) When silkworms are seperated in two groups by use of BHC application, the earlyer mulberry adapted group is seemed as stronger than the other part and the group ratio is 2 : 1. 2. Comparation between sex seperation result and better hydrid control (BHC) seperation result. a) The cocoon shell per cent of male worm group showed betweer result than the female group but only 0.4% difference between sexes. b) The cocoon shell per cent of superior group, seperated by BHC, showed 0.7% more than the inferior group. c) The average cocoon shell per cent of BHC treated cocoons showed much more than the Control group as 1.6∼2.4% increase. Enven the inferior group showed better result than the Control. d) Such unexpected result is considered to be the result that BHC application is activating some thing with silkworm physiology. e) On the ether hand, the result of sexes seperated groups or male worm group did not show desirable conclusion as far as cocoon shell per cent is concerned. f) However, when the male group was reeled as silk, it showed much better silk yield or silk per cent of cocoon than the female group as much as one per cent difference between by sexes. Such result was brought by superior silk yield from cocoon shell as much as 87.4%. g) On the other hand, the male group showed lowest non breaking reelable ratio (63%) among all group comparation. h) When we compare cocoon qualities by sex seperation and BHC seperation against the Control, there is no qualitative change, but BHC group showed quantitative promotion with cocoon bave length as much as about hundred meters. i) In case of calculation for productive income of cocoon production, BHC applied group showed about ten per cent income promotion more than the Control. The sexes seperated group, however, showed rather negative result because the male cocoon produced poor weight per box eggs which could not cover it by the inclose of silk yield of it. j) So, the BHC application with the fetched worm stage brought about big promotion for cocoon production. k) BHC method may be used either for seperation purpose or quantitative promotion with whole silk-worms. 3. Only male silkworms rearing did not show desirable productivity, so there is no reason to work out it in the fetching stage of worm.

Various biological activities (enzyme inhibitory potency, lipoxygenase inhibition, tadpole narcosis, vapor toxicity and heat of vaporization) of molecules are correlated with molecular descriptors. The molecular descriptors used in this works are molecular connectivity index, Wiener distance index and ad hoc descriptor, which can encode information about branching, size, cyclization, unsaturation, hetero atom content and polarizability. It is found that calculated values from multiple regression equations are in a good agreement with experimental data on five biological activities of alcohol, ester and ketone compounds.

본 연구에서는 DFT를 이용하여 Nucleophilicity와 Basicity의 연관성에 대한 계산화학적 분석을 수행하였다. Basicity는 선정된 모델 분자의 protonation 반응에서 생성물과 반응물의 enthalpy 변화량인 양성자 친화도(Proton affinity, PA) 값을 구하여 분석하였다. 계산한 결과는 실험을 통해 얻은 PA 결과와 경향성이 거의 일치함을 확인하였다. Nucleophilicity는 모델 분자들과 $CH_3Br$ (electrophile)의 $SN_2$반응에서 gibbs free energy of activation(${\Delta}G^{\ddag}$) 값으로 그 경향성을 분석하였다. 또한 용매의 종류를 다르게 하여 용매에 따른 ${\Delta}G^{\ddag}$ 값의 경향성도 확인하였다. 각 용매에 따라 구한 ${\Delta}G^{\ddag}$와 PA의 상관관계를 비교하였으나, 큰 연관성은 보이지 않았다. 이에 ${\Delta}G^{\ddag}$와 PA의 상관관계를 보여줄 수 있는 parameter를 찾기 위하여 각 모델 분자의 Electronegativity와 Polarizability를 계산하여 연관성을 비교해보았다. Polarizability를 적용했을 때 Nucleophilicity와 Basicity사이의 연관성을 나타낼 수 없었던 반면, Electronegativity를 적용하여 Basicity와 Nucleophilicity의 연관성 보일 수 있음을 이론적으로 규명하였다.

Due to the mathematical convergence property, Simulated Annealing (SA) has been one of the most popular optimization algorithms. However, because of its problem of slow convergence in the practical use, many variations of SA like Fast SA (FSA) have been developed for faster convergence. In this paper, we propose and prove that Greedy SA (GSA) also finds the global optimum in probability in the continuous space optimization problems. Because the greedy selection does not allow the cost to become worse, GSA is expected to have faster convergence than the conventional FSA that uses Metropolis selection. In the computer simulation, the proposed method is shown to have as good performance as FSA with Metropolis selection in the viewpoints of the convergence speed and the quality of the found solution. Furthermore, the greedy selection does not concern the cost value itself but uses only dominance of the costs of solutions, which makes GSA invariant to the problem scaling.

Selections for rapid and slow walking behavior were carried out with the populations, drived from Oregon-R and lethal free strain of Drosophila melanogaster. The behavior was measured by means of connected test-tube apparatus. The populations responded effectively to the artificial selection, and it reached the selection plateau after 7 generations. The realized heritability for the first 10 generations was estimated to be about $9\\sim14%$ for the rapid walking behavior, and those for slow walking behavior was about $11\\sim16%$. The results of hybridization analysis between selected populations at generations 8 and 10 indicated that some polygenes showing a slow walking behavior were partially dominant over polygenes controlled rapid trait. The populations selected for rapid and slow walking behavior were relaxed after 10 generations of selection. The response to natural selection of rapid population was completely returned to their neutral states after only 5 generations. Such phenomena would be explained by the genetic homeostasis resulted from an action of natural selection. However, the slow population did not make any difference from walking scores of their original artificial selection. It seems reasonable to assume that the slow walking behavior was possibly controlled by a major gene.

Research was conducted to investigate germination and establishment characteristics of five fescue species. Alternative conditions of 8-hr light at $25^{\circ}C$ and 16-hr dark at $15^{\circ}C$ were applied. Significant differences were observed in seed germination power, germination speed and germination peak time. Germination power was 62.25% in CRF 'Audubon' to 96.75% in TF 'Olympic Gold'. It was greater with TF over FF, being TF > HF > SF > CF > CRF. Germination speed, measured as days to seed germination of 50% through 80%, was fastest with TF, medium with CF and HF, and slowest with CRF and SF, being TF > CF, HF > CRF, SF. Germination peak time was much faster with TF over FF. It ranged from 0.94 to 1.47 days with TF. But it varied with 2.80 to 12.36 days among FF species. The peak time was longer in order of HF, SF < CF < CRF. Considering germination power, germination speed and germination peak time, TF 'Arid III' was the best cultivar under alternative conditions, while CRF 'Audubon' the poorest. Overall establishment characteristics among Festuca species were even better with TF over FF in order of TF > CF, HF > SF > CRF.

It is time-consuming and difficulty to solve the time-cost trade-off problems, as there are trade-offs between time and cost to complete the activities in construction projects and this problems do not have unique solutions. Typically, heuristic methods, mathematical models and GA models has been used to solve this problems. As heuristic methods and mathematical models are have weakness in solving the time-cost trade-off problems, GA based model has been studied widely in recent. This paper suggests the time-cost trade-off optimization algorithm using particle swarm optimization. The traditional particle swarm optimization model is modified to generate optimal tradeoffs among construction time and cost efficiently. An application example is analyzed to illustrate the use of the suggested algorithm and demonstrate its capabilities in generating optimal tradeoffs among construction time and cost. Future applications of the model are suggested in the conclusion.
