  • This paper describes six new species of sponges in the genus Agelas from Kosrae Island, The Federated States of Micronesia. Most Agelasid sponges are known from only tropical regions. All the new Agelas species; A. fragum n. sp., A. kosrae n. sp., A. purpurea n. sp., A. bakusi n. sp., A. vansoesti n. sp. and A. incrustans n. sp. are compared with other valid species that were studied. Six new species differ from the other species by morphology, growth form, skeletal fibres, habitats and spicule size. Agelas fragum n. sp. is characterized by its tuberculate surface and primary fibres with brush-like spicules. Agelas kosrae n. sp. is differs in skeletal structure and have tertiary fibres. Agelas purpurea n. sp. is characterized by primary, secondary and tertiary fibres are all cored with spicules. Agelas bakusi n. sp. is similar to Agelas clathrodes in shape, but differs in the primary fibres. Agelas vansoesti n. sp. is characterized by having acanthostrongyles. Agelas incrustans n. sp. is distinguished by its encrusting and not cavernous interior.

  • Two species of the family Chalinidae, Haliclona (Gellius) tubulensis n. sp. and Haliclona (Gellius) marismedi were collected from Hongdo Island and Gageodo Island, Korea during 2004-2007. H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is closely related to H. (G.) coreana in type of spicules and growth form. But it is different in size of toxas and oscules. Toxa of H. (G.) tubulensis n. sp. is one type and its oscules are tuberculated. The toxa of H. (G.) coreana is two types and lacks projections. The overall shape and spiculation of H. (G.) marismedi are nearly identical with specimens described by Pulitzer-Finali (1977).

  • Two species of crabs, Homola orientalis Henderson, 1888 and Pseudomicippe nipponica (Sakai, 1938), are described and illustrated for the first time in Korea. Homola orientalis was collected at 30 m depth by trap from Busan, and P. nipponica was collected on the intertidal region in Seongsanpo, Jejudo Island. Homola orientalis is the first species of its family in the region. The family Homoldae is characterized by a linea homolica on the carapace and they carry camouflage in the form of sponges or cnidarians with subchelate of the fourth ambulatory legs. The Korean brachyuran fauna now comprises 223 species including the new records from this study.

  • In the Bupyeong district, Mesozoic pyroclastic rocks, intrusive breccia, granites and felsic porphyries comprise a volcano-plutonic complex, overlying and intruding the Precambrian Gyeonggi gneiss complex. pyroclastic rocks, consisted mainly of rhyolitic welded tuffs, form a topographic circular structure about 10 kilometers in diameter. Granites and felsic porphyries which intruded the pyroclastic rocks are distributed in the inner side and also along the outer margin of the circular structure. K-Ar ages of two granite bodies(biotite), 162 and $148{\pm}7$ Ma, and that of the intrusive rhyolite (whole rock), $121{\pm}6$ Ma indicate that a series of volcano-plutonic igneous activity occurred between Jurassic and early Cretaceous age. Petrochemical characteristics suggest that the pyroclastic rocks, granites and felsic porphyries were originated from the comagmatic source. From the evidences of field occurrence, petrochemical and geochronological characteristics of igneous rocks and the geologic structures, it is believed that the igneous rocks in the Bupyeong district were formed during a Jurassic to early Cretaceous resurgent caldera evolution.

  • In this paper, we made researches into considerations for the numbering plan for IMT-2000 that seems to be a unit system integrating cellular, satellite, PCS. The purposes of the numbering plane for IMT-2000 ARE SIMILAR TO IMT-2000 evolution form:constructing the numbering plane centering around UPT as a PRE-FPLMTS from and futhermore, adding terminal mobility to IMT-2000. For this paper, we established three numbering plans for IMT-2000 that accepts various considerations.

  • In this paper, We propose a variable structure controller with time varying switching surface. We calculate the maximum value of switching surface gradient under the bound of input. To enhance the robustness, we, choose a time varying switching surface gradient that is of the 3rd order polynominal form. We use evolution strategy to optimize the parameters of the switching surface gradient. Finally, the proposed method is applied to the motor position control. Simulation results show that the proposed method is more useful than the conventional variable structure controller.

  • Solid-state dewetting of thin films is a process through which continuous solid films decay to form islands. Dewetting of thin films has long been a critical issue in microelectronics and much effort has been made to prevent the process and enhance the stability of films. On the other hand, dewetting has also been purposely induced to create arrays of particles and other structures for applications, including plasmonic structures and catalysts for growing nanotube and nanowire. We have investigated ways of producing regular structures via templated dewetting of thin films. Mainly, two different approaches have been used in our works to template dewetting of thin films: periodic topographical templating and planar patterning of epitaxially-grown films. Dewetting of topographically-patterned thin films results in the formation of nanoparticle arrays with spatial and crystallographic orders. Morphological evolution during templated-dewetting of single crystal films occurs in deterministic ways because of geometric and crystallographic constraints, and leads to the formation of regular structures with smaller sizes and more complex shapes than the initial patches. These results will be reviewed in this presentation.

  • In the combustion process, it is found that the addition of small amount of hydroxide of alkali and alkaline earth metal to the anthracite is more effective in order to suppress the evolution of $SO_2 gas, since the large portion of sulfur contained in anthracite is remained in the ash with a form of sulfide and sulfate. Under this experimental condition, however, it was observed that the SO_2$ gas corresponding to about 20 % of sulfur content in anthracite was released at $1000^{\circ}C$.

  • The central regions of barred-spiral galaxies contain interesting gaseous structures such as dust lanes located at the leading side of the bar and nuclear rings that are sites of intense star formation. Our previous studies showed how gas structures form under the influence of a non-axisymmetric bar potential and temporal/spatial behavior of the star formation in nuclear rings. However, previous works were limited to 2-dimensional infinitesimally-thin, unmagnetized and isothermal disks. To study effects of cooling/heating, vertical motions of gas structures and magnetic field, we use Mesh-Free magneto-hydrodynamic simulation code GIZMO. We find that temporal variations of the star formation rates in the nuclear ring in the three-dimensional model are overall similar those in the previous two-dimensional results, although the former shows more violent small-scale fluctuations near the early primary peak. We will present our recent results about evolution of gaseous structures and star formation rate compare with results of previous studies.

  • Birth and development of information biology are introduced with its definition and scientific basis. The discipline lives on the two types of nutrition, one is a huge amount of biological data on genomes, gene expressions, proteomes, protein 3D structures, protein networks, and so forth. The other is the method of using them on a computer. The scientific basis of the two is evolution. To collect genome and gene expression data form laboratories in the world, annotate and dissimilate back to researchers worldwide, they built the EMBL database in Europe in 1982, GenBank in USA in 1984 and DNA Data Bank of Japan in 1987. On the other hand, the methods of using and analyzing those data have accordingly been developed. The two aspects advance the discipline further and further.
