Duck is an important domestic animal, especially in Asia. Eighty five percent of ducks in the world are kept in Asia, especially in the East and South Asia regions. The ancestor of domesticated ducks was mallard (Anas platylhynchos), which are still migrating between north and southern parts in Eurasia. Ducks have been domesticated in China for at least 3000 years ago. Phylogenetic studies on ducks, employing electrophoresis of blood proteins, indicate a marked difference of genetic constitution between duck breeds in southeast Asia and those in northeast Asia. Duck embryonic ovary is much more active in secretion of sex steroid hormones especially estradiol than the embryonic testes. Estradiol secreted by the embryonic left ovary has an important role in female sexual differentiation in ducks. In the female ducks, plasma LH, estradiol and testosterone levels increase and reach peaks shortly before the first egg, while progesterone level reach a peak shortly after the first egg. In laying ducks oviposition mostly occurs in the last 3 hr of darkness and first hr of light ranging 02:00-06:00 under 14 hr light (05:00-19:00) and 10 hr darkness photoperiodic condition. Measurements of plasma hormone levels reveal that onset of darkness is a major signal for LH release from the pituitary and the subsequent release of progesterone from ovary, and for induction of ovulation in the female duck.

Cucumber and paprika transplants were stored at 9, 12, 15, and $18^{\circ}C$ under dark conditions for 15 days and then grown in a greenhouse for 14 days after transplanting. To determine the effects of low storage temperature and long-term continuous darkness on the quality and vigour of transplants, we investigated the quality of transplants during storage and the growth of stored transplants after transplanting. In cucumber transplants, decreasing storage temperature reduced stem elongation and decrease in SPAD value. The quality of cucumber transplants stored at $9^{\circ}C$ was well preserved during storage, but they did not survive after transplanting due to chilling damage. Growth and development after transplanting were significantly greater when cucumber transplants were stored at $12^{\circ}C$. In paprika transplants, the quality of transplants did not significantly differ before and after storage. After transplanting, there was no significant difference in the survival rate and growth, but the number of flower buds was greater in the paprika transplants stored at lower temperatures (9 and $12^{\circ}C$). These results indicate that the responses of transplants to the conditions of low temperature and darkness differed between cucumber and paprika, and storage temperature in darkness must be controlled carefully considering species-specific responses to reduce quality deterioration during storage and improve the recovery of transplants after transplanting.

1) The comparative studies of the quantitative measurement of growth characteristics and utilization of substrates by Euglena gracilis var. bacilla 10616 in the light and in darkness have been carried out. Eodogenous respiration, effect of respiratory inhibitors and responses to the added substrates for the exogenous respiration are also investigated. 2) All cultures are grown in the open air under the continuous illumination of fluorescent light of 3500 lux at room termperature, the growth rate of the culture in the basal medium added 0.5% lactate is found to be the highest. The growth rate decreases successively for the cultures of 0.5% sucinate, 0.5% Na-acetate, 0.5% malate, and control. There is no growth in the basal meidum added 0.5% butyrate and 0.5% hydroquinone. The similar results are obtained for the mentioned cultures in the darkness. However, the growth rate in basal medium added 0.5% glucose and 0.5% sucrose does seem to increase in the darkness unlike the illumination. 3) The endogenous rate of respiration for the organism cultured photosynthetically is about 12.94ul 02/mg/hr, in basal medium and the respiratory quotient is about 0.84. The rate is decreased by starvations to 6.5ul 02/mg/hr, about to a half, but the respiratory quotient does net change. 4) The oxygen consomption during initial 2 hours in suspending solution ranging from pH 4.5 to pH 9.3 is highest at pH 4.5 in which the algae had grown, at pH 5.5 and at pH 6.9. 5) Endogenous respiration of the cells is strongly inhibited by 0.1M of potassium cyanide, malomic acid, sodium fluoride and iodo-acetic acid. It is also strongly inhibited by 0.01M of potassium cyanide. 6) The respiratory response to added substrates for the exogenous respiration in the organism is coincided with the rate in the basal medium added the substrate in light and in darkness, whether the cells are fed or starved. 7) According to the results of this study, there seems to be the flexibility of the interconversion between photosynthesis and chemosynthesis, heterotropic mode of metabolism, in Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris, and that this organism utilizes the lactate most. It also may be suggested that the enayme systems linked in the each steps of Embden-Myerhof-Parnas path way and TCA cycle seem to exist in this organism.

미백과 더불어 피부 칙칙함은 많은 여성들의 고민거리다. 칙칙함이란 피부의 붉은 기와 광택이 감소하고, 노란기는 증가하며 피부의 명도가 저하되어 보이는 상태를 말하며, 최근까지 피부 칙칙함의 경우, 일반적으로 피부색 측정을 통해 명도, 색 불균일성 등으로 많이 평가하였다. 명도는 $L^{*} \;a^{*}\; b^{*}$ 표색계(CIELAB color space system)의 $L^{*}$로 나타낸다. 하지만 $L^{*}$값은 칙칙함 중 하나의 현상, 명도를 측정한 지표일 뿐만 아니라 칙칙함(투명감)같은 인지효능과의 연계점을 찾기 힘든 단점이 있다. 이에 투명감이 높은 피부(칙칙하지 않은 피부)는 동일한 광세기가 피부로 입사하였을 때 피부 내부로부터 빛이 많이 돌아오는 피부이고 이는 확산 반사광(내부 반사광)이 큰 피부라는 피부 투명감 측정 방법에 따라 편광기술을 이용한 자사 제작의 이전 투명감 측정 기기와 측정의 용이성과 휴대성을 개선한 $Lumiscan^{TM}$이라 명명한 신규기기를 개발, 기존 투명감 측정기기와 신규기기로 20 ~ 30대 남성과 여성의 얼굴 피부 투명도를 측정하여 육안을 통한 투명감과 확산반사광 값의 관계를 통해 신규기기의 성능을 확인하고자 하였다. 이번 연구에서 육안 평가와 신규기기의 확산 반사광 값 사이에 단순 비교가 아닌 강한 상관성(R = 0.732, p < 0.01)이 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 이전 자사개발 기기가 지닌 낮은 휴대성과 측정의 불편함을 개선한 $Lumiscan^{TM}$의 성능평가를 확인할 수 있었다.

When an emergency light turns on due to a blackout, the intensity of illumination is drastically changed from hundreds [1x] to 1.0[1x]. This sharp change of illumination intensity not only lowers the darkness adaptation of the eye, it also degrades the obstacle cognitive ability of the evacuees, resulting in secondary critical accidents due to anxiety, and fear. Thus, this study proposed a convertible emergency lighting fixture that controls the rate of speed of light in two stages by time with darkness adaptation of the eye in consideration. In addition, the effect of such emergency light is verified by suggesting an illumination simulation without increasing the number of light or capacity of battery to make it economically feasible.

This investigation was designed to determine the influence of light on the changes of capsaicin, carotenoid and sugar in hot green pepper fruits during the after-ripening period. The results were as follows; 1. In capsaicin content, the sample in light was increased about twice of that of the sample under the darkness. 2. In total carotenoid content, both samples were increased in the same trend. And so, it might be able to assume that carotenoid pigments were produced without the light. 3. In sugar content, the sample in light was more rapidly decreased than that of the sample in darkness.

This study explores the degree of velarization of English word-final /l/ (i.e., /l/-darkness) according to the lexical status. Lexical status is defined as whether a speech stimulus is considered as a word or a non-word. We examined the temporal and spectral properties of word-final /l/ in terms of the duration and the frequency difference of F2-F1 values by varying the immediate pre-liquid vowels. The result showed that both temporal and spectral properties were contrastive across all vowel contexts in the way of real words having shorter [l] duration and low F2-F1 values, compared to non-words. That is, /l/ is more heavily velarized in words than in non-words, which suggests that lexical status whether language users encode the speech signal as a word or not is deeply involved in their speech production.

This paper examines the moral vagueness penetrating Heart of Darkness. It views that the inarticulate moral presentation in the book is caused by the way in which the author distracts Marlow throughout his journey to Congo and ultimately to Kurtz, and puts him in a distance from what the real Cong is. Also Conrad's peculiar narrative style leads the readers' view astray Marlow describes what he sees and delivers the impression he gains in the journey but all he gets seems to be merely hazy and nebulous the readers are left with suspicion about his reliability on what he conveys to them. The effect is, because of the meagre tangibility on what Marlow experiences, he does not seem to get a clear grip on his moral rumination on what Congo can emit and what Kurtz ended up with, which allows the novel to defy a moral absoluteness. The moral awakening Marlow has gone through remains obscure. The readers are simply invited to work out what Marlow is up to.

오이류 덩굴마름병균(Didymella bryoniae)의 포자형성에 미치는 배지, 근자외선광과 화광색형광등 12시간 교호조사와 계속암흑처리의 영향을 조사하였다. Didymella bryoniae를 감자한천과 V-8 juice 한천에 배양하였을 때 광선은 병자각 및 자양각의 형성을 촉진하였으나 계속 암흑처리구의 포자형성은 낮았다. 그러나 균주에 따라서는 무광하에서도 병자각과 자양각을 형성할 수 있었다. V-8 juice 한천에 배양했을 때 자양각의 형성은 근자외선 보다는 화광색광선에서 촉진되었다. 일반적으로 광원에 관계없이 V-8 juice 한천에 배양한 것이 감자한천에 배양한 것보다 포자의 형성이 양호하였다. 감자한천에서 배양된 C. bryoniae의 각균주는 병포자의 대부분이 무격막의 소형 병포자였음에 비하여 V-8 juice 한천에 배양한 것은 무격막의 대형 병포자 또는 1개의 격막을 가진 병포자로써 병든 종자의 배축상에 형성된 배포자와 흡사하였다. 자양각의 외관은 병자각과는 판이하였으며 유두상 각공위에 백색의 포자괴가 형성되었다.
