  • To study e(feces of Korean Binseng (Parfax ginseff C. A. hfeyer) total saponin fraction on spermidine and spermine metabolism in rat reproductive systems, we administrated the saponin fractation to rats for 2 years. Then, we determined the activities of S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC), the quantitation of the enzyme protein and the amounts of spermidine and spermine contents In prostate and testis. In young sexually immature stage, administration of Korean ginseng saponin fraction showed no effect on SAMDC activities. The stimulatory effect on the activities of SAMDC gradually increased and reached maximal activities in test groups of prostate and testis at sexually mature stage. The amounts of SAMDC protein in test groups were paralleled by the changes of SAMDC activities in test groups, indicating that all of the increased activity occurring in administration of ginseng saponin fraction was not due to the activation of SAMDC activity but to the Increase in enzyme protein. However, the spermidine and spermine contents of test groups showed small increase in compared to that of control groups. From these results, we suggest that administration of ginseng saponin fraction alter the spermidine and spermine metabolism in sexually mature and aged reproductive systems in rats.

  • The variation in the diet of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum was investigated through analysis of feces collected before and after parturition. The results shows a high use of Coleoptera, which accounted for 30-77% in diet. Diptera(total 27.38%), and Lepidoptera(total 13.31%) was also consumed for the most part. Prey types recovered also included small numbers of Hymenoptera, Neuroptera. The diet of R. ferrumequinum varies before and after parturition. In lactating period, Coleoptera was mainly consumed(77%), but the use of Diptera significantly increased in post-lactating period.(51%)

  • In dieser vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich urn die Verbstellung deutscher $S\"{a}tze$. Deutsche Satze lassen sich in 3 Klassen (V1-, V2-, und VE-Struktur nach der Verbstellung einteilen. Im Rahmen der GB-Theorie gibt es jedoch nur einen Platz, an dem eine Konjunktion auftreten kann. Deshalb muss man $f\"{u}r$ zusammengesetzte Konjunktionen einen Analysenbaum aufstellen, auf dem ihre einzelnen Bestandteile die C-Position einnehmen: Diese Struktur zeigt eine gute Grundlage, auf der man den 'als-ware'-Satz $f\"{u}r$ die V1-Struktur halten kann. Einerseits leitet die subordinierende Konjunktion '$au{\ss}er$' auch eine V2-Struktur, weil wir nur mit dem minimalen CP zur Verbstellung zu rechnen brauchen; Es gibt keinen Ausweg, $au{\ss}er$ wir bitten ihn um Hilfe. Andererseits ist der Satz in der V1-Form, den die koordinierende Konjunktion 'noch' mit einen anderen Satz verbindet; Sie brauchte weder Hilfe, noch bat sie um Rat. Das beruht auf der Tatsache, dass die koordinierende Konjunktion 'noch' nicht im $CP_1$-Bereich liegt.

  • 위치기반서비스는 기본적으로 사용자의 위치를 파악해야 한다. 측위방법은 옥외용과 옥내용으로 구분되며, 옥외용에는 GPS 방법, 이동통신망을 이용한 방법, GPS와 이동통신망을 복합적으로 활용한 방법이 있고, 옥내용에는 적외선을 이용한 방법, 초음파를 이용한 ActiveBat과 Cricket, RF 신호를 이용한 RADAR가 있다. 기존의 옥외용 측위방법은 옥내에서는 사용이 제한되고, 기존의 옥내용 측위방법은 특수한 환경을 꾸며주어야 하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 보완한 방법으로 GPS 수신모듈과 무선LAN용 AP의 신호의 세기를 이용하여 사용자의 위치를 판단하는 옥내외 통합 측위시스템을 소개한다. 검증을 위해 제안하는 시스템을 구현해 보았으며, 실험 결과로 성능평가를 한다.

  • We monitored 38 hibernation sites of Myotis formosus in South Korea and recorded the number of bats occupying each site and assessed the micro-climate at the sites during four winters from 2005 to 2009 at. The mean rock temperature of the bat roosting sites was $13.2{\pm}1.4^{\circ}C$ and the mean body temperature of the hibernating bats was $13.3{\pm}1.3^{\circ}C$. The number of hibernating bats was negatively related to the size of the entrance and positively related to the minimum ambient temperature and humidity in the site interior. More bats hibernated in roosts with smaller entrances and higher minimum ambient temperatures, and more bats selected sites presenting a narrow temperature range. This study showed that the internal environments of hibernacula of M. formosus were highly stable despite dramatic variation in the external environment.

  • Gamma-Ray Bursts(GRBs) are the most violent event in the universe, whose detection rate is a few in a day. The spectral lag, which is commonly observed in the observed light curves of GRBs, is a difference in arrival times of the high-energy and low-energy photons. The relation between the spectral lag and the luminosity of the observed GRBs is shown to be anti-correlated in previous studies. In reported relations to date, the isotropic luminosity has been assumed. On the other hand, GRBs are likely to emit its energy through a beamed jet. In this study, we attempt to obtain the relation between the spectral lag and the collimation-corrected luminosity. We have calculated collimation-corrected luminosities and opening angles using the observed light curves taken from a database of Swift/BAT, XRT. We expect to increase its significance level by expanding a sample size compared with those previously analyzed.

  • Effects of exposure to a neurotoxicant, fenitrothion on antioxidant enzyme activities in Chironomus riparius Mg. (Diptera, Chironomidae) larvae were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Exposure to this chemical led to an increase of cupper, zinc type superoxide dismutase and manganese type superoxide dismutase activities and to a decrease of glutathion peroxidase activity. An activation of catalase was observed in the larvae exposed to high fenitrothion concentration. The response of superoxide dismutase was rapid and sensitive to low chemical concentrations, but changes in catalase, total peroxidase and glutathion peroxidase were less sensitive. In this study, antioxidant enzyme activities in Chironomus riparius larvae were identified as pertinent biomarkers for environmental monitoring.

  • The present study was designed in order to clarify ultrastructural characteristies of the spermatogenetic process and to examine survival state of the spermatozoa introduced into the female reproductive tract after autumnal coitus in the Korean greater horseshoe bats(Rhinolophus ferrumeguinum korai). The general morphological characteristics of spermatogenesis were principally similar to those of the other mammalian species; acrosomal formation, flagellar formation, middle piece formation and concentration of the spermatozoan nucleus. The spermatozoa introduced into the vagina were found to be dead forming a vaginal plug, the opaque central core of which consisted of trapped dead spermatozoa. Some spermatozoa introduced into the uterus were observed to be phagocytized by the polymorphonuclear leucocytes infiltrated into the uterine glandular lumen. The oviductal epithelium, consisted of ciliated and secretory cells; the luminal surface of secretory cells were covered by a number of microvilli with well developed glycocalyx, suggesting a close relationship to nutrient (e.g. glycogen) supply for the spermatozoa during hibernation.

  • 남미산 흡혈박쥐구esmodus rohndusl의 서열관계에 대해 자연상태와 유사한 조건하에서 사육상태의 집단을 연구하였다. 이들의 서열은 먹이장소에서 2마리의 성체들이 만났을때 4가지로 서로 다른 행동들(도망가기, 날아가기, 기다리기, 피하기)에 의해 결정했다. 공격행동(싸움후 도망가기)은 관찰된 전체행동들 가운데 16호로 비교적 적게 나타났다. 암컷들의 서열은 일부 먹이 서열에 의해서도 반영되었다. Harem수컷은 non-harem수컷들에 대해서 우위를 차지하였으며 열세 행동을 보여 주었다. 그러나 이 harem 수컷은 그의 성적 파트너에 대해서는 공격행동을 보이지 않았다. Dominance relationship was investigated in a captive of Desmodus rotundus, a neotopical sangivorous bat, under seminaturalistic conditions. The hierarchy was determined from four different behaviors (flee, fly-out, avoid, wait) by the encounter of ho adult bats on the feeding site. The aggressive action (flee after fighting) was relatively low (16%) compare to the other three observed behaviors. The hierarchy of the females reflected sometimes in the feeding order The harem male dominated the non-harem males and exhibited his territorial behavior. However, to his sex partners he didn't show aggressions.
