  • Recent spectroscopic observations indicate concentration of dark masses in the nuclei of nearby galaxies. This has been usually interpreted as the presence of massive black holes in these nuclei. Alternative explanations such as the dark cluster composed of low mass stars (brown dwarfs) or dark stellar remnants are possible provided that these systems can be stably maintained for the age of galaxies. For the case of low mass star cluster, mass of individual stars can grow to that of conventional stars in collision time scale. The requirement of collision time scale being shorter than the Hubble time gives the minimum cluster size. For typical conditions of M31 or M32, the half-mass radii of dark clusters can be as small as 0.1 arcsecond. For the case of clusters composed of stellar remnants, core-collapse and post-collapse expansion are required to take place in longer than Hubble time. Simple estimates reveal that the size of these clusters also can be small enough that no contradiction with observational data exists for the clusters made of white dwarfs or neutron stars. We then considered the possible outcomes of interactions between the black hole and the surrounding stellar system. Under typical conditions of M31 or M32, tidal disruption will occur every $10^3$ to $10^4$ years. We present a simple scenario for the evolution of stellar debris based on basic principles. While the accretion of stellar material could produce large amount of radiation so that the mass-to-light ratio can become too small compared to observational values it is too early to rule out the black hole model because the black hole can consume most of the stellar debris in time scale much shorter than mean time between two successive tidal disruptions. Finally we outline recent effort to simulate the process of tidal disruption and subsequent evolution of the stellar debris numerically using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics technique.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate degree of the concept formation on cell in elementary school teachers and to clarify the patterns of their misconceptions. Data were collected by interview with 120 elementary school teachers, ranged from twenties to fifties in age, working in Taegu city. The instrument was developed by researchers and was categorized into four: cell as the basic units of life, morphology of cell, function of cell, growth of individual from the viewpoint of cell. The results are as follows: First, about 80% of teachers had two perspective outcome of cell: Cells are the basic units of life on earth. But the potato and meat, which we used to eat as food, are not constructed of cells but aggregated of nutrients. Second, most of elementary school teachers recognized that shapes of the cell in organisms were diverse, but some of them only could present several kinds of shape on cell. The 35% of teachers had misconception that shape of cell is all the same in a individual. It shows that this result is caused by lack of opportunity to observe the various kinds of cells. Third, most teachers understood tell can be seen only through a microscope. Yet in comparison with relative size, it was revealed that misconception of cell size was induced by the term of 'basic unit'. In addition, they thought that large organisms are built from large cells, and small organisms from small cells. Fourth, Elementary school teachers used to confuse the terms between chloroplast and chlorophyll, and believed that the genetic material was contained only in the reproductive cells and seeds. It was also revealed that they thought the nutrients such as starch and fat are located at intercellular space. Fifth, the 60% of teachers conceived correctly that growth of individual depends on mitosis and increase in cell number. The rest of them, however, misunderstood that it is due to the increase of tell volume.

  • 중원 미륵리사지 입상석불 보호석실을 이루고 있는 암석은 주로 석영, 퍼어사이트, 사장석 및 흑운모로 이루어져 있는 백악기의 화강암이다. 이들 암석에는 매우 많은 균열들이 발달되어 있는데 이들은 성인적으로 볼 때 양파껍질구조를 따라 진행된 박리작용, 1차적인 그리고 압력에 의한 것으로 구분할 수 있다. 압력에 의한 것들은 보호석실의 구조적 불균형에 의한 힘의 편중에 의해 생성된 것으로 생각되며 박리작용에 의한 것에 중첩되어 발달하는 것이 보통이다. 구조적 불균형은 심한 풍화에 따른 암석의 물성의 변화, 보호석실의 부분적인 하중의 차이에 따른 토양의 차등침하, 서측면 아래의 토양기반의 서쪽으로의 포행과 이에 수반된 토양기반의 지지율의 부분적인 차이, 그리고 서측면 아래의 토양기반의 서쪽으로의 포행과 이에 수반된 토양기반의 지지율의 부분적인 차이, 그리고 서측면 석축의 토양 속으로의 부분적인 침하 등에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다. 보호 석실의 보전을 위해서는 이러한 구조적 불균형을 야기시킨 토양기반을 안정시키는 방법과 균열들을 처리하는 방안이 우선적으로 강구되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • By studying Hwang Jae Nae Kyung(黃帝內經)'s O Haeng Kui Ryoo(五行歸類) in view of Chinese-Ancient-Thought like Chun In Hap Il Lon(天人合一論). Um Yang O Hang Lon(陰陽五行論). The theory of the month's age the conclusion is reached as follows 1. Chun In Hap Il Lon(天人合一論) means naturally men and nature consist of one energy to counteract each other and then developed to be concidered that the change of men and nature is same one;that is the basic thought of Hwang Jae Nae Kyung(黃帝內經) 2. Um Yang(陰陽) stands originally for the bright and the dark by sunrise or sunset. Ju Yuk Gye Sa Jun(周易繫辭傳) ahs considered Um Yang(陰陽) as the energy to explain changes of nature. O Haeng(五行) meaned originally five necessary materials or stuffs for living and then Chu Yun(鄒衍) has considered the difference between five powers in the nature through the combination with thought of O Haeng(五行). Hwang Jae Nae Kyung(黃帝內經) writes in the viewpoint of Um Yang O Haeng(陰陽五行) to analyze the changes of men and nature effectively. 3. O Haeng Kui Ryoo(五行歸類) is originated from Sang Su Hong Bum(尙書洪範) and its concrete examples are found in Kwan Ja(管子) and Yu SSi Chun Chu(呂氏春秋). O Haeng Kui Ryoo(五行歸類) in Hwang Jae Nae Kyung(黃帝內經) is widly affected by Kwan Ja O Haeng(管子五行) and adopts the opinion of Kum Mun Kyung Hak(今文經學) because of the background of times and medical physiology. 4. Hwang Jae Nae Kyung(黃帝內經) thinks that O Haeng(五行) means Mok(木) is the energy of being born, Hwa(火) growing-up, Kum(金) accumulating, Su(水) concluding, To(土) devoloping. O Haeng Kui Ryoo(五行歸類) in the heaven and the earth is classified by the property of O Haeng(五行). 5. O Haeng Kui Ryoo(五行歸類) in men can be explained so rationally with the property of O Haeng(五行) and the thery of an organism studied.

  • Five contemporary pre-main sequence (PMS) evolution model grids are compared with the photo-metric data for a nearly complete sample of low-mass members in NGC 2264. From amongst the grids compared, the models of Baraffe et al. (1998) prove to be the most reliable in mass-age distribution. To overcome the limited mass range of the models of Baraffe et al. we derived a simple transformation relation between the mass of a PMS star from Swenson et al. (1994) and that from Baraffe et al., and applied it to the PMS stars in NGC 2264 and the Orion nebula cluster (ONC). The resulting initial mass function (IMF) of the ONC shows that the previous interpretation of the IMF is not a real feature, but an artifact caused by the evolution models adopted. The IMFs of both clusters are in a good agreement with the IMF of the field stars in the solar neighborhood. This result supports the idea proposed by Lada, Strom, & Myers (1993) that the field stars originate from the stars that are formed in clusters and spread out as a result of dynamical dissociation. Nevertheless, the IMFs of OB associations and young open clusters show diverse behavior. For the low-mass regime, the current observations suffer from difficulties in membership assignment and sample incompleteness. From this, we conclude that a more thorough study of young open clusters is necessary in order to make any definite conclusions on the existence of a universal IMF.

  • It is a wrong decision to use only topographic and geological maps for the study of pediment morphology in Korea. For the study of pediment morphology it is necessary to survey the earth structure by field techniques. In Korea, pediments are mostly found in granite areas with hardrock cover. But, pediments also developed in gneiss areas and what is worse in limestone areas. So, all areas in Korea developed pediment morphology. Only in South Korea pediments show a direction from south to north or from west to east. They developed only in right angles to each other, either parallel or in right angles to the strike, depending on the bedrock structure. Pediments are found in two levels. The upper level pediments are correlated with the lower level erosion surface. Besides this pediments are found in Hoenggye-ri of the Taegwolryong area in a third level 800m above sea level. The pediments developed in basins, at the lower margins of steep slopes dividing three levels of erosion surfaces and around the residual mountains on the erosion surfaces. The first belong to the early stage of pedimentation, the second to the middle stage and the third to the last stage. Also, in Korea monadnock and residual mountain have developed the pediments are correlated the slope of the hinter mountains. Akagki states that the only pedimentation times have been times of arid climate and that they are dissected by gulley erosion with climatic change, but writer's study proves that pedimentation takes place with eustatic movement, reckless defore-station and convectional rain. These facts indicate that the landforms, geological character and process of erosional cycle of the pediments in Korea resemble much those in the Chugoku Mountains of south wertern Japan, but they are larger in scale than those in the Chugoku Mountains. In conclusion, while Akagki emphasizes the geological character and climatic change in pedimentation, the writer studies prove that eustatic movements, especially the sea level rise after the Wurm age are important factors for pedimentation. Besides this the author's studies allow a classification of gentle slopes.

  • 고고지자기 연대측정법은 소토에 남겨진 열잔류자화를 통해 과거의 지자기 변동을 측정하여 소토가 출토되는 고고유적의 연대를 알아내는 연대측정법이다. 특히 유물이 출토되지 않거나 하여 고고학적으로 연대를 추정하기 어려운 소토를 가진 유구에 대한 연대추정에 유력하게 이용할 수 있다. 삼가마와 회가마도 이러한 유구에 해당되는데, 국내에서 조사된 삼가마와 회가마에서 채취한 소토시료를 측정하여 각각 21점과 5점의 정밀도 높은 데이터를 구할 수 있었다. 이 데이터를 통해 가마들의 고고지자기 연대를 측정해 보았는데 삼가마의 고고지자기 측정연대는 A.D. 10C후반 ~ 19C 중반경이며, 회가마는 A.D. 16C초 ~ 18C중반경이었다. 데이터의 수에서 회가마보다 삼가마가 비교적 많기도 하지만, 삼베가 오랜 기간 사용되어왔던 것에 상응하게 삼가마의 연대는 시기 폭이 넓으며, 회가마의 고고지자기 연대는 그 중심연대가 회격묘가 조선후기에 유행한 것과 시기적으로 일치하며 상대적으로 짧은 시기 폭을 가진 것으로 추정된다.

  • Since the key issue that 'the Yangsan fault is seismically an active fault" was raised in 1983, thegeological and geomorphological studies of active fault have been made by many researchers. These studies are mainly focused on the Yangsan fault system(YFS) and Ulsan fault system(UFS) due to many historical earthquakes occurred in this area. There are two different types of active faultings under the ENE-WSW horizontal stress field in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. The NNE-trending YFS is the most prominent right-lateral strike-slip fault and has a continuous trace about 200 km long. Some part of this system has been active during the late Quaternary with evidences clearly recognized on both the northern (Yugyeri and Tosung-ri areas) and southern parts (Eonyang to Tongdosa area) of the YFS. in the southern part, the estimated vertical slip rate is about 0.02 - 0.07 mm/yr, and the lateral slip rate may be several times larger than the vertical rate. The most recent event occurred prior to deposition of Holocene alluvium, in the northern part, the fault trend locally changes to almost N-S, dips to the east and has reverse movement. The average vertical slip rate is estimated to be less than 0.1 mm/yr. The most recent event probably occurred after 1314 years BP (AD 536). The NNW-SSE (or N-S) trending UFS is a predominantly reverse fault that built up U-ie eastern mountain and has been active during U-ie late Quaternary. The fault trace is not straight but irregularly undulates along the foot of the mountain on the east. From the disturbed terraces along U-ie fault, the average vertical slip rate on U-iis system is estimated to be about 0.08.13mm/yr. The latest event is not well studied, but seems to have occurred after the last glacial maximum in the Malbang fault and 14,000 years BP in the Kalgok fault of the UFS. However, important issues such as fault segmentation, recurrence interval, age of Quaternary deposits need further studies.

  • Egg is a food that has been loved from ancient times by people all around the world. It has been called a present from god because its rounded shape was believed to refer to the earth. We found the oldest and most perfectly preserved egg fossil at Chunmachong (天馬) in Kyungju (慶州). We believe that it was used during the period of the Three States or the unified Silla (新羅), and, accordingly, it was a noble food that has been found at the king's grave of the age. Egg, which is called egg of chicken in Korean, was written as egg of chicken (鷄卵), son of chicken (鷄子), bird's egg of chicken (鷄蛋), and round thing of chicken (鷄丸) in the Korean alphabet and Chinese characters. The ancient countries had the following myths about eggs In myths about offspring by egg, they were born as heaven's will to make them god. There were 19 proverbs: 'Hitting a rock with an egg', 'It's like the yellow part of an egg' and 'Even an egg stops when it rolls', etc. According to a theory of divination based on topography, people use eggs when they find a good place. There are 10 proverbs (四字 成語): Dongjiipran (冬至立卵), Nanyeoseoktu (卵與石投) etc. Studies for analysis of egg recipes found in the old literature (cooking, agriculture and fishing, and medical books) in the Chosun Dynasty recorded 36 times where cuisine with egg was mentioned as the main ingredient, 154 times as a sub-ingredient, 79 times as a garnish, and 20 times etc. As a garnish, they were 'finely sliced', 'thin rectangular and the rhombus form', and 'rounded shape'; after grilling they were divided into yellow and white parts. When cooked, they were used in comparison of the size or shape of an object with that of other objects.

  • 백악기 말기 불국사 관입암류에 해당하는 대구 대덕산 규장질 관입암체 내에서는 구형, 방사형의 두 가지 형태의 전기석 결정이 발견된다. 이 연구에서는 두 가지 형태를 보이는 전기석의 광물화학적인 특징과 더불어 결정화 환경이 형태적인 차이점에 끼친 영향에 대해 알아보았다. 두 전기석은 화학적으로 모두 철전기석에 해당하며, 구형 전기석은 방사형 전기석에 비해 Al이 풍부하고 Ca, Na, K, Fe, Mn, Mg 등이 결핍되어 X 및 Y 사이트가 채워져 있지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 한편 확산규제결합(DLA) 모델에 의하면 결정의 성장형태가 불규칙적일수록 마그마의 유동이 활발하다고 알려져 있다. 따라서 방사형 전기석이 비교적 유동적인 환경에서 결정화되었음을 알 수 있으며, 마그마의 분화에 따라 고철질 성분에 비해 규장질 성분이 농집되면서 마그마 환경이 안정되고 구형의 전기석을 만들어 내기에 적합한 환경이 조성되었을 것이라 판단된다.
