This study was undertaken to study the effect of interspecific pollination of L. longiflorum and L. ${\times}$formolongi as the female parent with Oriental, Martagon and Trumpet group as the male parent by cut-style pollination. In the interspecific pollination of L. longiflorum cv. Gelria and Lorina with Oriental group as the male parent, the corresponding fruits obtained immature embryo were 1, 8, and the mean number of embryo per fruit were 11.0, 3.0, respectively. In the interspecific pollination of L. ${\times}$formolongi cv. Raizan, the corresponding fruits obtained immature embryo were 17, and the mean number of embryo per fruit were 4.0. On the other hand, in the interspecific pollination between L. longiflorum and L. ${\times}$formolongi as the female parent and Martagon and Trumpet group as the male parent, the pollination of L. ${\times}$formolongi as the female parent and L. henryi of Trumpet group as the male parent were obtained only 2 fruits, however no embryo.

These studies were conducted to evaluate the five comparative test methods for detecting chemical resistance and to investigate resistant level of field populations of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella L.). Leaf disc method was practically rocomrnendable because of its rapidity and low CV(l1.4%). Topical application method was a precise replicabiliLy(CV=8.00/0) but it was time consuming and difficult in mampulation. The other 3 methods showed higher CV ranging from 14.9% to 21.4%. Based on $LC_{50}$ values by topical application method, field populations of diamondback moth collected from 4 different regions, Kwangju, Kimhae, Jeju, and Inje to prothiofos showed from 3.3 to 61.1 times higher resistance than the susceptible strain, whereas to cypermethrin, Lhey were from 7.5 to 141.7 times higher than the susceptible. To cartap hydrochloride, they showed from 10.5- to 33.3-fold resistant levels as high as the susceptible. Finally, based on $LC_{50}$ values to Bacillus thuringiensis by leaf disc technique, the resistant levels of the field populations were from 1.9 Lo 8.1 times as compared to the susceptible.

Correction factors based on the catch ratios of egg and larval densities in the southern waters of Korea were estimated for anchovy Engraulis japonica. This was undertaken in order to adjust ichthyoplankton data from different sampling methods, gear types and time. Samples were collected during ichthyop1ankton surveys in Korean waters from 1983 to 1994. The ratios for egg densities obtained in vertical tows with a NORPAC net (ring $\Phi$, 45 cm) compared to those obtained in oblique tows with a KOB net (ring $\Phi$, 80 cm) were 0.86 (CV = 0.65), 1.22 (CV = 0.36), and 0.93 (CV = 0.42) for early, middle, and later developmental stages, respectively. The ratios for larval densities for vertical and oblique tows varied depending on size. For yolk-sac and small larvae (< 4 mm), the ratios were 3.08 (CV = 0.45) and 1.98 (CV = 1.34), while those of 4-6 mm, 6-8 mm, and 8-10 mm larvae were 0.44 (CV = 1.31), 0.45 (CV = 1.70), and 0.56 (CV = 2.50), respectively. Ratios of day/night densities for larvae of 4-10 mm lengths were lower (0.01-0.06) in offshore catches than values obtained in coastal areas (0.440.46) and similar values (0.16-0.04) for vertical and oblique tows. Our results indicated that vertical towing is more efficient for sampling early life stages (from eggs to larvae less than 4 mm long), while oblique towing is more efficient for larvae longer than 4 mm due to depth preferences for each developmental stage (e.g., changes in egg buoyancy and vertical migration oflarvae).

Background/Aims: Colonic volvulus (CV), a common cause of bowel obstruction, often requires intervention. We aimed to identify hospitalization trends and CV outcomes in the United States. Methods: We used the National Inpatient Sample to identify all adult CV hospitalizations in the United States from 2007 to 2017. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and inpatient outcomes were highlighted. Outcomes of endoscopic and surgical management were compared. Results: From 2007 to 2017, there were 220,666 CV hospitalizations. CV-related hospitalizations increased from 17,888 in 2007 to 21,715 in 2017 (p<0.001). However, inpatient mortality decreased from 7.6% in 2007 to 6.2% in 2017 (p<0.001). Of all CV-related hospitalizations, 13,745 underwent endoscopic intervention, and 77,157 underwent surgery. Although the endoscopic cohort had patients with a higher Charlson comorbidity index, we noted lower inpatient mortality (6.1% vs. 7.0%, p<0.001), mean length of stay (8.3 vs. 11.8 days, p<0.001), and mean total healthcare charge ($68,126 vs. $106,703, p<0.001) compared to the surgical cohort. Male sex, increased Charlson comorbidity index scores, acute kidney injury, and malnutrition were associated with higher odds of inpatient mortality in patients with CV who underwent endoscopic management. Conclusions: Endoscopic intervention has lower inpatient mortality and is an excellent alternative to surgery for appropriately selected CV hospitalizations.

This paper proposes a novel maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm considering radiation to improve efficiency of PV system. The proposed algorithm is composed perturb and observe (PO) method and constant voltage (CV) method. PO method is simple to realize and CV method is possible to tracking MPP with low radiation. Response characteristics of proposed algorithm are compared to conventional MPPT algorithm such as PO method, IC method and CV method with radiation variation. This paper proves the validity of proposed algorithm through the analysis results.

A new hose slurry spreader with improved spreading uniformity is developed to distribute the slurrynear to the soil surface and to reduce odor problems. The precision of distributed slurry was investigated using 3 types of slurry and found to be dependent on the rotor speed. For the solid matter separated fluid containing 0.1% of dry matter rotor speed of 150 rpm showed best uniformity with CV of 10% In the case of slurry from dairy cattle which contains 8.2% of dry matter high rotor speed of 330 rpm showed best result with CV of 7.2% Also swine slurry which has a 13.6% of dry matter content showed the best result of 8.1% CV at the high rotor speed of 250rpm. A high rotor speed generates enough pressure in the central distributor and as a result uniform distribution of slurry can be achieved. In conclusion it is highly recommended rotor speed of 300 rpm to get the best performance.

The diagnosis of canine diabetes mellitus is generally made by measuring serum fructosamine levels. The Rosental's end points Tas and El Din's kinetic, and Johnson and colleagues'kinetic techiniques were compared for the measuring serum fructosamine levels. In the Rosental's end point methods within-run and between-run coefficient of variability (CV) were 2.4-3.5% and 6.8-8.5%, respectively, and in the Tas and El Din's kinetic method, within-run and between-run CV were 1.3-3.0% and 3.4-3.9%, respectively. In the Johnson and colleagues'kinetic methods within-run and between-run CV were 0-1.8% and 3.1-6.8%1 ruts- pectively. Hyperlipidemia induced by oral administration of 3 ml of corn oil per kilogram body weight did not affect serum fructosamine concentration significantly in the Johnson and colleagues' kinetic method Johnson and colleagues'kinetic method is most reliable and consistant on the basis of comparison study.

Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV), a member of the genus Crinivirus, has caused an epidemic disease in tomato worldwide. ToCV is phloem-limited and transmitted by whiteflies in a semi-persistent manner, but not by mechanical inoculation. Experimental propagation of ToCV has been performed primarily by using whitefly-mediated inoculation. To develop a simple and convenient method for transmission of ToCV, we investigated grafting single-leaflets from tomato plants infected with ToCV to recipient tomato seedlings. Forty-one of 46 tomato seedlings tested were grafted successfully with single-leaflets infected with ToCV. Among them, 36 seedlings (87.8%) were systemically infected with ToCV and developed typical symptoms. Our results demonstrated that single-leaflet grafting could provide a sufficient amount of inoculum for the transmission of ToCV to the grafted seedlings.
