The present study was undertaken to evaluate the chemical characteristics of Asian dust (hereafter called "AD") particles with the aid of the most advanced micro-PIXE (Particle-induced X-ray emission) analytical technique. To this end, size-selected particles were sampled on a rural peninsula of Korea (Byunsan, 35.37N; 126.27E) during AD and non-AD periods in 2004. The coarse particle (> $2{\mu}m$) number density during an AD event were 170 times higher than those of the non-AD counterpart. The average net-count of silica in individual particles collected on AD event was roughly 11 times higher than that of non-AD counterpart. The X-ray net-counts of trace elements (Zn, Co, Mn, and V) were also considerably high in AD relative to the non-AD day. Particle classification based on the inter ratio analysis of elemental net-count suggests that a large portion of the coarse particles collected during AD event underwent chemical transformation to a certain degree. The visual interpretation of micro-PIXE elemental maps and elemental localization data in and/or on individual AD particles clarified the internal mixture of AD particles with sea-salt and artificial metallic particles.

The pathogenic Vibrio genus contains halophilic bacteria that are distributed in marine and freshwater environments. Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio vulnificus, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are potent human pathogens and leading causes of septicemia, wound infection, and seafood-borne gastroenteritis. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of pathogenic Vibrio species in seawater off the west coast of Korea. Sixty-four seawater samples were obtained from different sites in Gomso Bay and Byeonsan from April 2018 to November 2018. Pathogenic Vibrio species were detected using a combination of most probable number (MPN)-polymerase chain reaction methods. V. cholerae, V. vulnificus, and V. parahaemolyticus were found in 0.0%, 20.3%, and 65.6% of seawater samples, respectively. Quantitative results revealed 3.6-23 MPN/100 mL of V. vulnificus, and 3.6-930 MPN/100 mL of V. parahaemolyticus in the samples. Overall, these results provide new insight into the necessity for seawater sanitation in Gomso Bay and Byunsan; they also provide evidence that will help reduce outbreaks of seafood-borne illness caused by pathogenic Vibrio species.

변산반도국립공원에 위치한 내소사 주변 능선부의 식생구조를 파악하고자 세봉관음봉 구간에 방형구($400m^2$) 23개를 설정하여 식생을 조사하였다. 식물 군집분석을 통하여 분류한 결과 소나무군집과 소나무-굴참나무-졸참나무군집으로 분류되었다. 변산반도 내소사지역의 세봉관음봉지역은 대부분이 소나무, 굴참나무, 졸참나무, 서어나무, 신갈나무 등이 우점하고 있었다. 이 지역에서 굴참나무, 소나무가 부분적으로 우점종으로 분포하고 있으나 소나무의 상대우점치는 점점 작아지고 상대적으로 굴참나무, 졸참나무, 서어나무, 신갈나무의 우점치가 점차 커질 것으로 예상된다. 수종간의 상관관계에서는 굴참나무와 쇠물푸레, 단풍나무와 대팻집나무, 사람주나무와 산딸나무, 산딸나무와 굴피나무, 팥배나무와 서어나무 등의 수종들 간에는 높은 정의상관이 인정되었고, 소나무와 서어나무, 쇠물푸레와 서어나무, 신갈나무와 팥배나무, 대팻집나무와 팥배나무간에는 약한 부의상관이 인정되었다. 조사지의 군락별 종다양성지수는 $0.665{\sim}1.169$범위로 나타났다.

This study was carried out to find out whether there exists any content variation in 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) among regional and varietal mulberry leaves. HPLC analysis was performed for 22 samples collected from several localities in Korea and Tsushima Islands Japan. The highest content was observed in the Cheongilppong sample collected at Youngchun City, Kyungsangbuk Province (1,882.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW), whereas lowest content was observed in the Cheongilppong sample collected at Jiniu City, Kyungsangnam Province (395.65 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW). In the comparison of regional samples of Kaeryangppong variety, DNJ content was highest in the order of Woniu City (1,460.1) > Boungun (999.85) > Hweongsung-gun (939.12) > Cheongju City (688.78). In case of Cheongilppong, DNJ content was highest in the order of Youngchun City (1.882.8) > Sanchung-gun (1,125.3) > Sunchon City (649.17) > Byunsan-myon (441.54) > Jinju City (395.65). Average content of regional samples was higher in Kaeryangppong (1,021.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW) than that of Cheongilppong (898.87 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW). Average DNJ content of the wild mulberry loaves collected from Cheju Island and Tsushima Island (1,012.9$\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW) was high enough to reach to that of the regional Kaeryangppong samples. In the comparison among varietal samples collected in Suwon, the highest DNJ content was observed in YK209 (768.16 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g DW), amongst overall low DNJ content of the varietal samples. Considering a few pieces of information from our data, DNJ content appears not to be influenced solely by annual temperature of the planted areas.

12 populatiDns of Ch indicum L. and it's variation antogenous in Tforea were selected throughout the country and their morphological characteristics were studied in this paper. The results are as follows. 1) The mean of the plant height is 97.3cm. Ch. indicunl is 76.5cm and Ch. boreale is 116. 6cm in height. The number of nodes is 58 on the average. The color of the stem is generally black-red in the case of Ch. indicum and is green for Ch. boreale. 2) The leaves of Ch. inficum are smaller In size and thicker than chose of Ch. boreale, and it has a stipule. This fact enables us to distinguish one species from the other, however, the Gyukpo-population of Ch. indicum has a large leaf, and Byunsan-population of Ch. boreale has a stipule so that the above fact is not an exact criterion on which to base one classification. 3) The size of the capitulum is 24.9mm for Ch. indicum and 15.6mm in the case of Ch. boreaje so that the difference between species is admitted. It was confirmed hat the size of the capitulum has positive correlation to that of the pedicel and has egative correlation to the number of flowers, so that of inflorescence, Ch. indicumhas corymb, and Ch. boreale has crowed corymb or umbel-type.The number of ligulates is 19 on the average, which no the difference being founnd between species and populations.4) The cluster analysis of morphological characteristics showed that Ch. indicum wasdivided into two groups, which was shown thought to be due to the difference of speciesbetween Ch. indicum and Ch. boreale. However, it could not be shown that their morphological characteristics explain a geographical relationship between populations

이 연구는 격포 채석강 지역의 야외지질학습 자료를 개발하여 야외학습을 통한 학생들의 교육적 효과를 최대화하려는 것이다. 야외지질학습 자료 개발 대상인 격포 채석강(전북)은 변산반도 국립공원 내에 위치한다. 채석강의 퇴적층(백악기)은 규모가 크고 뚜렷한 퇴적구조가 해식절벽에 나타나 있다. 이러한 뚜렷한 퇴적구조는 지구과학의 야외지질 학습 자료로서 중 고등학생들에게 바람직한 교육적 활용이 가능하다. 5단계 야외학습모델을 과학고 지구과학과 관련된 동아리반 학생 13명에게 적용하였다. 또한 야외 학습자료와 관련된 자료들을 이용한 실내수업 내용이 야외수업에 참여 하지 않은 학생 37명에게 발표되었다. 적용 결과, 두 수업그룹 모두에게 야외학습교육이 자기주도적 학습능력과 실제적인 학습이해를 증진시키는데 효과적이었다.
