The growth changes in craniofacial depth and height from seven to eleven years of age have been studied in thirty two Korean children, consisted of seventeen boys and fifteen girls. The data was obtained from lateral cephalometric radiographs analyzed by the Coben's coordinate system, and the main conclusions might be summarized as follows. 1. Among the craniofacial depth increments the lower facial depth dimension increased the most, mid-facial depth dimension increased loss, and cranial depth dimension increased the least. 2. In spite of the increasing depth dimensions, the mid-facial depth proportion had a tendency to remain stable. 3. The degree of overbite increased markedly from seven to eleven years of age. 4. Increment in the total anterior facial height dimension was larger than that in the total posterior facial height, and the upper anterior facial height increased more than the lower anterior facial height. 5. The lower facial depth proportion increased markedly, and the convexity of the face was reduced significantly. 6. The posterior facial height tended to show small proportional changes. 7. The growth increments in craniofacial complex were larger in the facial height than in the facial depth.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of local climatic conditions on the annual increment of Korean white pine planted in Gapyung and Yaungdong. For this, stand variables such as mean DBH, mean height, basal area per hectare, and volume per hectare by stand age were measured and summarized for each locality. Based on these statistics, annual increments for 8 years from stand age 10 to 18 were calculated for each of stand variables. A topoclimatological technique which makes use of empirical relationships between the topography and the weather in study sites was applied to produce normal estimates of monthly mean, maximum, minimum temperatures, relative humidity, precipitation, and hours of sunshine. Then, the yearly climatic variables from 1990 to 1997 for each study site were derived from the spatial interpolation procedures based on inverse- distance weighting of the observed deviation from the climatic normals at the nearest 11 standard weather stations. From these estimates, 17 weather variables such as warmth index, coldness index, index of aridity etc., which affect the tree growth, were computed on yearly base for each locality. The deviations of measured annual increments from the expected annual increments for 8 years based on yield table of Korean white pine were then correlated with and regressed on the yearly weather variables to examine effects of local climatic conditions on the growth. Gapyung area provides better conditions for the growth of Korean white pine in the early stage than Youngdong area. This indicates that the conditions such as low temperature, high relative humidity, and large amount of precipitation provide favor environment for the early growth of Korean white pine. A ccording to the correlation and regression an analysis using local climatic conditions and annual increments, the growth pattern of Gapyung area corresponds to this tendency. However, it was found that the relationship between annual increments and local climatic conditions in Youngdong area shows different tendency from Gapyung. These results mean that the yearly growth pattern could not sufficiently be explained by climatic conditions with high variance in yearly weather variables. In addition, the poor growth in Youngdong area might not only be affected by climatic conditions, but also by other environmental factors such as site quality.

This study was undertaken to assess the effect of growth on the lips. Not only does lip growth influence the stability of such orthodontic treatment; it also directly influence facial profile, in which the lips have an important part. An understanding of the growth of lips is thus central to a consideration of profile change in orthodontics. By analyzing the serial lateral cephalograms of 15 male and 15 female of 8 years old to 16 yaers old who have normal occlusion. The result of this study were summerized as follows; 1. The largest growth increments in the length of the lips was mod age of 14 in both sexes. 2. The thickness of lips showed lager value for the male than that of the female in the most age group. The lagest growth increments at A point was occured age of 14, while Ls, Li, B point decreased after the age of 10-11. 3. The largest increase in the interval between crest of lower lip and edge of upper incisors was occured between ages 9 and 11 in males. The interval decreased slightly from 8 to 16 years in females. 4. The nasolabial angle decreased slightly from 8 to 16 years in both sexes. 5. The mentolabial angle showed large variation.

Hatching date, main spawning period and growth of juvenile marbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) were determined by analysis of microstructure in otoliths. Marbled flounders were collected by a small beam trawl in Namhae from February 2011 to January 2012. The length (L, mm) was related to body weight (W, g); $W=9.76^*10^{-8}L^{4.39}$ ($r^2=0.93$). The length was also related to otolith radius (R, ${\mu}m$); L=0.0795R+0.2249 ($r^2=0.92$). The growth in length was represented by Gompertz growth curve; $L_t=135{\exp}\{-{\exp}[0.0103(t-116)]\}$ ($r^2=0.83$). The hatching date calculated from the number of daily growth increments in otoliths was between mid-December and mid-February.

Stomach contents and microstructures in otolith of Chaenogobius laevis were analyzed for the determination of age, growth and food. By comparaing structural similarity in a series of growth increments from three samples collected in a two-week interval, daily deposition of growth increments in otolith can be validated. Growth in length as daily basis was well represented by Gompertz curve: $L= 5.73{\cdot}\;e^{15.06}(1-e^{-0.0015t})$ for the fish age of $46\~102$ days. Mean growth rate increased from 0.40 mm/day for the age of $50\~60$ days to 0.85 mm/day for the age of $80\~100$ days. Chasnobius laevis showed a carnivorous feeding behavior and its major food items were polychaetes, amphipods and copepods. Small individuals ($15\~30$ mm SL) preyed heavily on copepods as well as polychaetes. However, the portion of copepods in stomach contents was decreased with increasing fish siEe, and this decrease was compensated by an increased consumption of amphipods.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the coordination and correlation of growth pattern between craniomaxillary complex and mandible, and among the craniofacial region, body-weight and stature. 14 boys and 16 girls between 6 and 12 years of age were used in this study. The result were as follows; 1. Total increments and maximum increment in mandible is higher than in oraniomaxillary complex during given period and no significant sexual difference existed. 2. The annual growth of craniofacial region did not assume an aspect of constant growth, periodically. 3. Craniofacial growth pattern was interrelated with stature more than with body-weight. 4. The growth behavior of body-weight and stature coincided with the growth of craniofacial region or preceded it in time.

The larvae of Palaemon gravieri were reared in the laboratory at three different temperature regimes ($15^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;and\;25^{\circ}C$) with the salinity ranges (28-32 psu) to understand how temperature and body size influence survival rate, and growth components (molt increment and intermolt period). The optimum temperature for the highest survival rate was $25^{\circ}C$. The intermolt periods consistently increased with an increase in size and instar number; however, the molt increments at successive instars generally decreased with an increase in size and instar number. The shortest intermolt period and the highest larval growth rate both occurred at $25^{\circ}C$. Thus, the optimum temperature for larval survival and growth rate was found to be $25^{\circ}C$ which was the temperature at which the larvae actually appear in nature.

Annual growth segments of Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis (Fucales, Fucaceae) are denoted by air bladders that form each spring. By examining annual growth segments, it may be possible to infer information about the physical conditions during the growth period; however, it is uncertain whether the annual segments will expand in size after the initial growth. We examined A. nodosum segments from three populations in Nova Scotia, and statistically evaluated whether the annual growth (length, mass, and maximum diameter) of segments was independent of the age of the frond, whether the segments increased in size after the initial growth, and whether the segment lengths were correlated with mean water temperatures and mean air temperatures when the segments were formed. We found that the growth in length of A. nodosum is dependent on the age of the frond, but frond age explained less than 12 % of the overall variation in length. However, the mass and maximum diameter of segments were independent of the age of the frond. Differences occurred between the lengths of segments formed in different years, but there was no significant correlation with regional mean water or air temperatures. This study indicates that the length of A. nodosum segments may be an indicator of the annual physical characteristics of a site, but future studies are needed to identify which factors have the strongest influence on growth patterns.

Age, hatching date and growth in length of juvenile Limanda yokohamae were determined by analysis of microstructure in otoliths. Monthly samples were collected by a beach seine in the shallow water off Gaduk-do from January to December, 1998. The juveniles were collected between February and April. Mean total length was $22.6{\pm}1.77\;mm$ ($\pm$SD) in February, $23.6{\pm}3.86\;mm$ in March, and $38.2{\pm}8.38\;mm$ in April. The core of otoliths ranged from 18 to $21\;{\mu}m$ in diameter and the growth increments were deposited concentrically from the hatching mark. The secondary growth layer began to appear at the 48 to 56-th increment. It indicates that L. yokohamae larvae may be completed the metamorphosis at this time of ca. 52 d after hatching, and moved into the shallow water for demersal stage. The hatching date calculated from the number of daily increments was between late November and early January, showing a peak in December. The total length (L, mm) was related to otolith radius (R, ${\mu}m$); L=0.055 R+5.81 ($r^2=0.88$). The growth in total length was represented by the Gompertz growth curve; $L_t=3.39e^{4.51(1-e^{-0.0067t})}$ ($r^2=0.81$). Daily growth rate was 0.35 mm/d at the age of 70 d and increased up to 0.55 mm/d at the age of 120 d.
