  • The marine red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii is a major source of $\kappa$-carrageenan. It has been introduced in 20 countries including India. Recently, several reports have expressed concerns about Kappaphycus invasion on Acropora corals at Kurusadai Island in the Gulf of Mannar, India, which is part of a marine bioreserve. To understand the extent of the Kappaphycus invasion, 27 randomly selected locations around Kurusadai Island and the mainland coast were surveyed during May-August 2008 and July 2009. Our rigorous sampling revealed that K. alvarezii was confined to two different patches of 105 m $\times$ 55 m and 8 m $\times$ 9 m located at the southeastern part of Kurusadai Island. The actual extent of the K. alvarezii canopy coverage was 76.7 $m^2$, accounting for less than 0.0035% of the total coral reef area. The daily growth rate of the K. alvarezii at Kurusadai was 0.7%. K. alvarezii was not observed in the coral reef area of the adjoining Pullivasal and Poomarichan Islands or the Palk Bay area cultivation sites. The lack of functional reproductive cycle, low spore viability, and the absence of microscopic phases in the life cycle of this alga coupled with the abundance presence of herbivores may restrict the further spread of this alga, so its invasive potential at Kurusadai Island is considered remote.

  • Chemical investigations of the stony coral Alveopora japonica Eguchi (Poritidae) resulted in the isolation of four known compounds (1 - 4). The structures of 1 - 4 were identified as a sterol, ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-$3{\beta}$-ol (1), a mixture of monoacyl glycrols (2), eicosanoic acid and tetracosanoic acid, and two nucleosides, thymine (3) and 2'-deoxythymidine (4), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 1D- and 2D- NMR techniques as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. Compounds 1 - 4 were isolated from this species for the first time. Moreover, these compounds (1 - 4) were found in the genus Alveopora and the family Poritidae for the first time.

  • 유비쿼터스 환경에서 발생하는 실시간 데이터스트림의 처리 및 관리에 대한 요구사항이 증가되고 있다. 특히 인터넷 보안, 공장 자동화 기기설비 관리 등에서 발생하는 데이터스트림은 대용량 데이터가 실시간으로 발생하는 특징을 가지고 있어 이를 처리하기 위한 특화된 DSMS의 저장관리자의 개발이 요구된다. Coral8과 같은 기존의 DSMS의 경우 일반적인 데이터스트림의 처리가 가능 하지만 초당 10만 건 이상의 대용량의 실시간 데이터스트림이 발생하는 특수한 상황의 경우 이에 대한 처리 성능이 부족하며, 이에 대한 저장이 불가능하다. 관련 분야에서 일반적으로 사용되는 오라클10g의 경우 저장, 관리 성능은 우수하지만 실시간 데이터스트림 처리에 대한 고려가 되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 삼성전자, 하이닉스, HP 등에 반도체, LCD 제조공장의 생산 기계에서 발생하는 대용량 데이터스트림을 실시간 압축 저장이 가능한 DSMS 저장관리자를 설계 및 구현하였다. 본 문에서는 시스템의 구조 및 주요 컴포넌트에 대해 설명하며, 관련시스템과 비교 평가를 통해 제안 시스템의 우수성을 보인다.

  • The ectomycorrhizal roots were collected from the soils around the bases of basidiocarps of the four edible mushrooms in the stands of Pinus densiflora or Querus acutissima communities (Mt. Wol-Ak in Eastern Chung-Puk): The basidiocarps of Tricholoma matsutake (TM), Sarcodon asparatus (SA), S. imbricatum (SI), and Polyozellus multiplex (PM) are usually collected. The ectomycorrhizal roots of TM, PM and SI were related to the roots of P. densiflora, but the other to the roots of Q. acutissima in Korea. Particularly, the basidiocarps of PM were collected in the mixed stand of both P. densiflora and Q. acutissima. The morphologies of the ectomycorrhizal roots were observed to be the yellowish brown coral (dichromatous) or pyramid types in the roots of the pine, but dark brown un-branched sticks (roots) in the ends of ectomycorrhizal roots of Querus plants. The un-branched roots were covered with the dark mycelia (rhizomorph) around them. Therefore, the ectomyorrhizal roots of PM were observed to have two kinds of types; The single blackish un-branched roots were observed to be attached to the yellowish coral type roots. The bundles of TM mycelia were filled with cortical cells (in the roots of P. densiflora), but the mycelia of the other fungi (Aphylloporales) were massed between the cortical cells of P. densiflora or Q. acutissima. Their anatomical and gross features were considered to be simailar but very important in the ectomycorrhizal roots for these edible mushrooms.

  • The Hebrew word for silk, meshi, is mentioned in the Bible only once and there is a possibility that the item to which it referred was made of local wild silk. Although Jewish historical sources from the Roman and Byzantine periods mention silk many times, only a few silk textiles have been discovered at a sited dated to the Byzantine period (4th-7th centuries CE). The word "silk" occurs in the New Testament, although only once. A turning point in the history of the Negev (Southern Israel) occurred around 400 CE when it underwent a period of prosperity related to the advent of Christianity and pilgrimage, which enabled the purchase of imported silk textiles. The Early Islamic period (7-8th centuries CE) yielded four (out of 310) silk textiles from Nahal 'Omer on the Spice Routes joining Petra, in the Edom Mountains of modern Jordan, and the mercantile outlets on the Mediterranean Sea, notably Gaza and El Arish. The most important silk textile assemblage in the Southern Levant was found near Jericho at Qarantal Cave 38 and dates to the medieval period (9th-13th centuries CE). Linen textiles decorated with silk tapestry originating in Egypt date back to the 10-11th centuries CE. Mulham textiles - silk warp with hidden cotton wefts - were discovered in the medieval fortress on Jazirat Fara'un (Coral Island) in the Red Sea, 14 kilometers south of Elat and today located in Egypt. Mulham is mentioned in literary sources of the ninth century in Iraq and Iran, whence it spread through the Islamic world. The article will present aspects of the origin, transmission, and exchange of these textiles.

  • Two new marine tardigrades, florarctus kwoni n. sp. and Batillipes philippinensis n. sp. belonging to Halechiniscidae and Batillipedidae, respectively, are described on the basis of the specimens sieved from sublittoral coral sands and shell gravels of Palawan Island, the Philippines. florarctus kwoni n. sp. is characterized by the rocket-shaped aliform expansion, with the distal margin of posterior ala flattened. Batillipes philippinensis n. sp. closely resembles B. similis Schulz, 1955 and B. annulatus De Zio, 1962. However, it is clearly discernible from the former by the shape of lateral body projection between leg III and leg IV, and the relative length of cirrus E and the spine on leg IV, and from the latter by the shape of the lateral body projection and the clavar shape. This is the first report of the marine tardigrades from the Philippines.

  • Because of reduction of population in rural area, primary schools in that area are exposed to many problems and the environment of education of coral area has been deterrioration. In this situation, many cases of merger and abolition(M & A) of primary schools in rural area were reported. The abolished schools have many dysfunctional effects on the community related to them such as repulsion of residents, students' problem of adaptation, unconvenient transportation for students, disappearance of life-centered place, and parents' lower concern with schools. To solve the problems of rural abolished schools, they should be utilized as a center of community education. The aims of this study were to review the situation and problems of M & A of primary schools in rural area and to analyze the basic needs of the utilization of abolished school and to suggest for the the directions for the utilizions of facilities of rural abolished school.

  • Eight species and four genera belonging to two families of antipatharians have been reported in Korea. In the present study, the major specimens were collected from the coastal areas of Jejudo Island from 2005 to 2006, and the other ones which have been deposited in the Natural History Museum and the Department of Life Science, Ewha Womans University during the period from 1965 to 2004 were reexamined. As a result of this work, four species, Myriopathes bifaria, M. stechowi, M. ulex and Plumapathes pennacea are new to Korean antipatharian fauna. In this study, total six species including previously recorded species of the family Myriopathidae were described. And the distribution range of Myriopathes lata was turned out to be expanded from southwestern sea to the eastern sea, up to Ulleungdo Is. of Korea. Especially, the sexuality and the gonadal stage of M. lata which are collected during their reproduction period were also determined by means of histological analysis.
