The early life history of black bullhead, Pseudobagrus koreanus, endemic to Korea was investigated to get biological information needed in artificial production of seedlings and in recovering natural resources. The fertilized eggs showed some characteristics in having heavy sticky material and minute folds which is formed radical pattern on the egg membrane. The shape of egg was spherical and $2.59{\pm}0.08$(2.45~2.70, n=10)mm in diameter. The yolk had not oil globule. The first cleavage was observed 2 hrs after insemination at $21{\sim}23^{\circ}C$, and the progressive cleavage were done about 30 min. interval. The characteristic changing of the yolk surface started at morula stage and continued to the end of gastrula. Hatching was started 72 hrs and completed 90 hrs after fertilization. The size of the larvae were 5.41~5.81mm in total length and 2.76~2.94mm in preanal length, and the number of so mites was 15-16+33~34(48~50). The barbels and swimbladder were completed and all the fins except second dorsal were appeared 1 week after hatching. The larvae attained 9.67~10.52mm in total length and 5.20~5.65mm in preanal length. All the fin sets and color pattern were completed 2 weeks after hatching and body mucus was secreted at that stage. The juvenile attained 14.59~16.02mm in standard length, 3.31~4.16mm in head length and 8.07~9.31mm in prenal length.

This survey was carried out to study the food habit and several health indicators of 438 persons (male ; 179, female ; 259) aged over 60 years old living in a middle city, The results obtained were as follows. The food habit of male was better significantly than that of female, the eating frequencies of fruits, eggs, meats and fishes, and legumes of male were higher than those of female. The mean weights and heights of both male and female were low in comparison to the Korean standard, but the mean BMIs of both male and female showed normal range and the mean obesity rates of male and female were 3.5％ and 8.2％, respectively, The mean hemoglobin content and hematocrit were 13.1g/100m1 and 39.8% in male, and 12.4g/100m1 and 37.8％ in female, respectively, The anemia rate judged by the WHO level of hemoglobin content was 42.0% in male and 34.7％ in female. The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures of both male and female showed normal range; But the incidence of hypertension judged by the WHO level was 15. 6% in male and 16.7% in female. The subjects suffering from diseases were 78.2% in male and 86.7% in female. Common diseases were neuralgia, circulatory system diseases, respiratory system diseases, diabetes mellitus, and athritis. There were positive correlations between the score of food habit and body weight, height, hemoglobin content, and hematocrit. And there was a negative correlation between the food habit score and obesity rate. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were correlated positively to skinfold thickness and the incidence of suffering from diseased.

To investigate the effects of foliage clipping time, degree, and nitrogen top-dressing after clipping on the growth and the agronomic characteristics, rice plants grown under ordinary cultural practices were clipped at the maximum tiller stage, 10 days prior to, and after that stage, respectively, with varying clipping, height, as 0, 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 of plant height. And nitrogen was top-dressed at the rate of 0, 2, 4, 6 kg per 10 are immediately after clipping. The variety used was ＂Jinheung＂. The results obtained are outlined as follows: 1. Effect of clipping on the growth of rice plant: The subsequent growth was quite rapid during 10 days after clipping, and resulted, on the whole, in nearly complete recovery of defoliation by 20 days after clipping. a) Generally, the later the clipping time, the more growth accelerated. Rice plants clipped before the differentiation of ear primordia nearly recovered the damage, and in certain cases exceeded non-clipped plants in height. But the height of the rice plant clipped after the differentiation of ear primordia was somewhat smaller than that of non-clipped. b) Growth rate was rather rapid in the case of severe cutting, and the height of slightly clipped plants was taller than that of non-clipped plants. However, rice plants clipped to the extent of 2/3 of plant height did not fully recover the damage of defoliation compared to non-clipped plants. c) Nitrogen dressing was effective to rapid recovery of defoliation, the effect increasing with the increasing amount of application. d) Ear-heading was delayed in clipped plots, and this tendency was more apparent with later clipping time, more severe clipping, and increased amounts of nitrogen application after cutting. The range was 6 days at maximum. 2. Effect of defoliation on the yield and its components of rice plants: The yield response to clipping varied somewhat with its time, degree, and nitrogen application after cutting: yield increase of about 10% and decreasement of about 25% at maximum compared to the control plot. Grain yield of most plots was decreased. a) Clipping before the differentiation of ear primordia did not much affect the agronomic characteristics of rice plants. However, clipping after that growth stage decreased culm length, number of panicles, number of spikelets per panicle, and maturing rate of grain to some extent. Consequently this treatment resulted in decrease of about 10% in grain and straw production in spite of increase in panicle length and effective tillering rate. b) Slight, clipping decreased number of spikelets per panicle a little, and the yield of grain and straw by 4-5%, although effective tillering rate was somewhat increased. With severe clipping, panicle kngth, number of panicles, and number of spikelets per panicle decreased more, and the yield of grain and straw decreased about 10%. c) Nitrogen dressing after clipping at the rate of 2 kg per 10 are was effective in increasing grain yield. Nitrogen application over the rate of 4 kg per 10 are increased culm length, number of spikelets per panicle, and straw production, but this decreased the maturing rate, and the 1, 000-grains weight to some extent and resulted in decrease of grain yield.

The mackerels, Scomber japonicus (HOUTTYN), for this study were caught by purse sein net in Korea. In this paper, the seasonal variations of the oil content and Vitamin A concentration in oil in different parts of the mackerel, the distribution of the Vitamin A of viscera of that and physical and chemical constants of oil were discussed. The results are summarized as follows: 1. In the beginning of June, the liver weight increased rapidly and reached the maximum. In this period, the gonad weight was also maximum. It seemed that this phenomenon has influenced on the nutritional and physiological aspects of the spawning stage. 2. The Vitamin A concentration of liver oil reached the maximum value in the middle of July. In the most case, it was proportinate to the oil content in liver inversely. 3. The Vitamin A concentration of pyloric caeca oil reached the maximum Value in the late of July. It showed the tendency of being proportionate to the oil content in pyloric caeca inversely. And the Vitamin A concentration of intestine oil reached maximum value in the beginning of July. 4. The distribution average ratio of Vitamin A in liver, pyloric caeca, intestine, stomach and contents of stomach and gonad to the total Vitamin A in whole viscera were 60.8, 29.4, 5.7, 2.2, and 1.9 percentage. The seasonal variation of the distribution of Vitamin A in pyloric caeca to the amount of total Vitamin A in whole viscera was proportionate to that of liver inversely. 5. It seemed that there were no any corelation between the Vitamin A content and seasonal variation of the physical and chemical constants of viscera oil. But when the Vitamin A concentration was high, the refractive index, the amount of unsaponifiable matter and iodine value of viscera oil were also high. 6. On the extracting vitamin oil of viscera of mackerel, it is the most suitable period from the end of May to the middle of October. The liver, pyloric caeca and intestine of mackerel are valuable and the other parts of vicera are worthless as vitamin oil resources. It is probable that the whole viscera oil could also be utilized as vitamin-rich oil, if it were concentrated.

In 2022, the total of 129 million m³ of aggregate was produced in Korea, a slightly decrease from the total production of 2021. Of these, about 44 million m³ of sand and about 84 million m³ of gravel were produced. About 41% of total quantity of aggregates were produced by permission and the rest were produced after declaration. It estimated that of the 129 million m³ of aggregates in Korea in 2022, about 54.9% was produced by screening crushed aggregate, by 32.8% by forest aggregate, 2.2% by land aggregate, 6.2% by marine aggregate and 3.1% by washing aggregate, and 0.3% by river aggregate. This indicates that screening crushed and forest aggregate are the main producers of domestic aggregate in 2022. Leading producing metropolitan governments were Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Incheon, Jeollanam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do in order decreasing volume. In 2022, aggregates were produced in 147 local governments, and the 10 leading producing local governments were, in descending order of volume, Hwaseong, Pocheon, Paju, Ongjin, Youngin, Gwangju, west EEZ, Incheon Seo-gu, Namyangju, Asan. The combined production of the 10 leading local governments accounted for 31% of the national total. And 44 local governments have produced aggregates of more than 1 million m³ each other. In 148 local governments that produced aggregate, a total of 800 active operations produced aggregate with 350 operations by river, land and forest aggregate, 450 operations by selective crushed and washing aggregate.

하천에서의 식생은 하천의 조도 및 흐름특성을 변화시키는 요인 중 하나로서 하천 내의 식생밀도 변화로 인하여 발생한 하상변동은 장기적으로 하천내의 하중도가 발생하거나, 식생으로 인해한 방향으로 편중된 흐름으로 인하여 제내지 방향으로의 하천 침식이 발생하고, 이에 따라 구조물의 안정성에 영향을 미치는 등 하천의 중 장기 계획 시 고려해야할 중요한 요인이다. 이에 따라 식생 모형을 이용한 다양한 흐름특성 분석 실험들이 수행되었으나, 대부분의 연구에서는 식생을 단순화하여 모형으로 사용하였기 때문에 실제 식생에 대한 영향성을 보기에는 한계가 존재한다. 건설기술연구원의 하천실증연구센터에서는 이러한 식생의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 네덜란드의 Deltares, 핀란드의 Aalto 대학 등과 함께 다년간 국제공동연구를 수행하였으며, 금번 소개하는 실험에서는 식생밀도에 따른 흐름변화, 하상변동 및 환경 변화 등의 검토를 목적으로 하였다. 실험은 총 2가지 유량 조건에 대하여 수행되었으며, 실험 중 흐름의 안정화를 확인하기 위하여, 유출수조에는 6개의 압력식 수위계를 설치하여 실험기간동안 유출수조에서의 수심변화를 측정하였고, 하도에는 실험구간 상 하류에 SonTek의 SL-1500 및 SL-3000을 이용하여 지속적으로 수심을 측정하고, 이 외에도 하류단에 2개의 압력식 수위 측정장비를 설치하여 수심을 모니터링하였다. 실험에 사용된 식생은 높이 약 1.5m의 2가지 밀도로 폭 2m, 길이 4m의 규모로 설치하였고, 광파기와 3차원 레이저 스캐너를 이용하여 실험 전 후의 식생 주변 및 전 실험구간의 하상을 측량하였다. 흐름특성 분석을 위한 수리 측정은 Nortek사의 Vectrino를 이용하여 측정하였고, 총 24개 측선에 대하여 각 측선별 5 ~ 10개의 유속자료를 측정하였으며, 각 측점별로 90초간 자료를 수집하였다. 흐름특성 분석에 사용된 유속자료는 이상치를 제거한 후 수행되었으며, 이상치의 제거는 표준편차의 3배 이상의 편차를 갖거나, 측정자료의 자기상관도가 70% 이하인 값들은 제거한 후 분석을 수행하였다. 흐름 분석을 위한 측정자료를 이 외에도 캠코더를 이용한 표면유속영상 측정기법과 ADCP를 이용한 측정도 병행하였으나, 본 연구에서는 Vectrino로 측정된 결과만을 소개하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study calculated the prevalence of cataract in Korean and examined corrected eyesight with different types of opacification of crystalline lens. Methods: Using the data of the national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES), population-based and cross-sectional research were designed in this study. After dividing total 4,977 persons into different groups by age, from 40 to 95 and by sex, the prevalence of cataract with different types of opacification was investigated. The average age of the total subjects was $58.28{\pm}12.07$, and the number of men and women were 2,142(43.0%) and 2,835(57.0%), repectively. Eyesight was calculated when it was less than 0.63. Results: Among total 4,977 subjects, 40.6% (men 17.5%, women 23.1%) had cataract. Different prevalence rates were found with different types of cataract; nuclear cataract (56.3%), cortical cataract (23.4%), mixed cataract (16.2%), anterior subcapsular(3.0%), and posterior subcapsular (1.1%) in order. There was no difference among men and women by the types. And those in their 40's showed a higher prevalence of cortical cataract than those in the other age groups. Most of subjects whose corrected eyesight is less than 0.63 had anterior subcapsular cataract. Conclusions: The type of cataract having the highest prevalence was nuclear opacity. Moreover, epidemiologic investigation and prevention policy with different type of lens opacity seems to be required.

Soybean, azuki-bean and mungbean were cultivated at different growing conditions, May 10, June 9, July 9 seeding, and May 10 seeding-short day treatment, to investigate the distribution of flowering date and the variation of pod/flower ratio. The growth habit type of the soybean variety used was determinate, but the azuki-bean and mungbean varieties used showed indeterminate growth habit. The pod/flower ratio ranged 38 to 48% for soybean, 23 to 34% for azuki-bean and 46 to 60% for mungbean along with growing conditions. Flower abscission for soybean and mungbean, and pod abscission for azuki-bean affected more on the number of matured pods. Soybean showed once full blooming period, but azuki-bean and mungbean showed two or three times full blooming period except July 9 seeding plot through the whole growing period. Flowers bloomed just after every full blooming period showed lower value of pod/flower ratio and higher pod/flower ratio was obtained from flowers bloomed before or far after full blooming at plots seeded May 10 and June 9 in three pulse crops. Most full blooming period of soybean coincided within 5 days near the terminal leaf appearance date, and number of flowers bloomed before terminal leaf expansion and matured pods from these flowers were major in every soybean plant at all growing codition plots. No relations were found between terminal leaf appearance and flowering or pod setting patterns of azuki-bean and mungbean.

Purpose : Every year, there is a remarkable increase in the prevalence of children with excess body fat. The aim of this study is to find a useful screening method in assessing adolescent, obesity and to specify the predictable risk factors that are related to adult cardiovascular disease according to BMI and obesity index. Methods : From July to November in 2001, a total of 2,814(male : female=2,011 : 803) mid to high school students who were in the obesity range according to obesity index(>20%) were evaluated according to height, weight, body mass index(BMI), obesity index, and serum lipid levels. Results : Among the obese students over 20% by obesity index, 86.6% were over the range of 95 percentile by BMI. Among students defined as obese by BMI, 21.0% of males and 21.4% of females students had hypercholesterolemia; by obesity index, the ratio was 20.7% male and 19.0% female. The frequency of hypertriglyceremia in male students was 15.0% in group I(overweight group, 85P97p); in female students 11.8%, 20.7% and 28.2% respectively. Conclusion : In this study, using BMI alone to test the serum lipid level in adolescent obesity had a limit of 10.0-17.0% omission. Therefore using obesity index as a screening method to find the adult cardiovascular disease would rather reduce the omission rate. The risk factor of cardiovascular disease according to BMI was the increasing level of triglyceride in both male and female students. We think that using the obesity index has more rationale rather than BMI in assessing lipid profiles.
