The bluegill Lepomis macrochirus is an invasive species, not native to Korea, introduced for aquaculture. This species is ranked as a new top predator due to its massive aquatic carnivorous and herbivorous nature by acute vision and the absence of a natural enemy. The visual cells of the retina of L. macrochirus are composed of short single cones and equal double cones and long and bulky rods by light and electron microscopes. In particular, the cones show a regular square mosaic arrangement. This pattern is widely considered as a strong predator. With regard to the visual system, this mosaic pattern may closely be related to a dynamic visual acuity to track and hunt prey.

Experimental tests are described on three ring stiffened machined circular cylinders and three ring stiffened machined circular cones, which were tested to destruction under uniform external pressure. All six vessels failed by inelastic general instability. The experiments showed that the vessels initially deformed plastically at mid-bay in the circumferential direction, and this caused the circumferential tangent modulus to become much less than the elastic Young's modulus, causing the vessels to fail through plastic general instability at pressures much less than that predicted by elastic theory. Based on a thinness ratio, two semi-empirical design charts are provided, which are intended to be used for design purposes in conjunction with the finite element method and a plastic reduction factor.

제주도에 분포하는 스코리아콘의 사면발달을 밝히기 위하여 49개 스코리아콘을 대상으로 화산체의 비고, 저경에 대한 비고의 비율($H_{co}$/$W_{co}$), 저경과 화구경의 차에 대한 비고의 비율($H_{co}$/$W_{co-cr}$), 및 사면각등의 지형특성치를 계측하였다. 스코리아콘의 형성시기가 오래될수록 지형특성치는 일정한 비율로 감소하므로 화산체의 형태비교학적 방법에 의해 스코리아콘의 형성시기를 추정할 수 있다. 스코리아콘의 화구는 침식작용으로 메워지며 결국에는 사라지게 되므로 화산체의 형성시기와 가장 높은 상관관계를 보이는 지형특성치는 저경과 화구경의 차에 대한 비고의 비율이나 평균사면각($\theta_{ave}$) 이다. 스코리아콘의 평균사면각은 $\theta$$_{ave}$ : $tan^{-1}$〔2.$H_{co}$/$W_{co-cr}$〕로서 구할 수 있다. 제주도는 플라이스토세에 네 번에 걸친 분화활동기를 통하여 형성되었다. 제4분출기(0.1~0.025Ma)에 형성된 최신의 스코리아콘은 평균사면각의 평균치가 23.6$\pm$1.7$^{\circ}$인데 비하여, 제3분출기(0.3~0.1Ma)와 제2출기(0.6~0.3Ma)의 스코리아콘은 각각 18.9$\pm$$1.7^{\circ}C$및 12.6$\pm$$1.9^{\circ}C$이다.다.

In this paper second order cone convex, second order cone pseudoconvex, second order strongly cone pseudoconvex and second order cone quasiconvex functions are introduced and their interrelations are discussed. Further a MondWeir Type second order dual is associated with the Vector Minimization Problem and the weak and strong duality theorems are established under these new generalized convexity assumptions.

Toric variety is a normal algebraic variety containing algebraic torus $T_N$ as an open dense subset with an algebraic action of $T_N$ which is an extension of the group law of $T_N$. A toric variety can be described in terms of a certain collection, which is called a fan, of cones. From this fact, the properties of a toric variety have strong connection with the combinatorial structure of the corresponding fan and the relations among the generators. That is, we can translate the diffcult algebrogeometric properties of toric varieties into very simple properties about the combinatorics of cones in affine spaces over the reals.

Lower bounds for the full level probabilities are derived under order restrictions in weights. Discussions are made on typical isotonic cones such as linear order, simple tree order, and unimodal order cones. We also discuss applications of these results for constructing conditional likelihood ratio tests for ordered hypotheses in a contingency table. A real data set on torus mandibularis will be analyzed for illustrating the testing procedure.

The set of eigenvectors of the second moment matrix and the mean vector are the measures of orientation for a distribution supported on the unit sphere. Bootstrap confidence cone for the eigenvector is constructed and the consistency of this method is discussed. The performance of our bootstrap cone for the eigenvector is compared with that of the asymptotic confidence cones for two measures under the parametric assumptions for the underlying distributions and that of the bootstrap cone for the mean vector by Monte Carlo simulation.

Recently the author studied a one-parameter family of divergences and considered the related median minimization problem of finite points over these divergences in general symmetric cones. In this article, to utilize the results practically, we deal with a special symmetric cone called second order cone, which is important in optimization fields. To be more specific, concrete computations of divergences with its gradients and the unique minimizer of the median minimization problem of two points are provided skillfully.

In photoreceptor cells, light activates visual pigments consisting of a chromophore (retinal) and a protein moiety (opsin). Activated visual pigments trigger an enzymatic cascade, called phototransduction cascade, in which more than ten phototransduction proteins are participating. Two types of vertebrate photoreceptor cells, rods and cones, play roles in twilight and daylight vision, respectively. Cones are further classified into several subtypes based on their morphology and spectral sensitivity. Though the diversities of vertebrate photoreceptor cells are crucial for color discrimination and detection of light over a wider range of intensities, the molecular mechanism to characterize the photoreceptor types remains unclear. We investigated the amino acid sequences of about 50 vertebrate opsins, and found that these sequences can be classified into five fundamental subfamilies. Clear relationships were found between these subfamilies and their characteristic spectral sensitivities. In addition to opsins, we studied other phototransduction proteins. The amino acid sequences of phototransduction proteins can be classified into a few subfamilies. Even though their spectral sensitivity is considerably different, cones fundamentally share the phototransduction protein isoforms which are different from those found in rods. It is suggested that the difference in phototransduction proteins between rods and cones is responsible for their sensitivity to light. Isoforms and their selective expression may characterize individual photoreceptor cells, thus providing us with physiological functions such as color vision and daylight/twilight visions.

시각세포는 많은 종에서 알려지지 않았지만 종의 서식환경과 매우 밀접한 연관성을 같는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이에 흰줄납줄개와 각시붕어 두 종의 시각세포를 광학현미경으로 조사하였다. 두 종의 눈은 비교적 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 신경연합층은 가장 바깥쪽부터 망막색소상피층, 시각세포층, 외핵층, 외망상층, 내핵층, 내망상층, 신경절세포층 등으로 구성된다. 특히 시각세포들이 존재하는 시각세포층을 확인한 결과, 매우 다양한 시각세포들을 보유하고 있었다. 긴 단일원추세포, 짧은 단일원추세포, 길고 짧은 원추세포가 쌍을 이룬 이형이중원추세포와 간상세포로 구성되어 있었다. 이들의 수평단면을 확인한 결과, 열 배열의 형태로 나타났으며 다양한 시각세포 종류와 열 배열을 갖는 특징은 이들의 서식환경과 밀접한 연관성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다.
