This study was carried out to analyze effects of soil, water level and shading on growth of sweet flag(Acorus calamus var. angustatus). Three types of soil were used, which included sandy, silty loam and paddy loam soil. Three levels of shading were applied in the experiment: no shading, 55％ shading and 75％ shading. The water levels were also adjusted to three levels in the experiment. The results are summarized as follows; 1. The cultivation of sweet flag in sandy soil with low water level resulted in decreased fresh weight compared to that at planting. This result indicates that the water level should be maintained higher than the soil surface for sweet flag growth in sandy soil. 2. 5 out of 72 sweet flags died in paddy loam soil. Water saturation of soil easily reduced paddy loam soil, and root growth of sweet flags in reduced soil condition were restricted, resulting in the dead plants. 3. The growth of sweet flag in paddy loam soil was worse than those in silty loam, indicating that reduced soil conditions in paddy loam is harmful to root growth. In planting sweet flags in paddy loam, improved soil aeration in paddy loam soil is necessary for good growth of sweet flag. 4. The maintaining of high water levels is better than that of low water levels in sweet flag cultivation. During winter, soil near the water surface froze and sweet flags in frozen soil were stressed physiologically. Maintaining high water levels prevents soil from being frozen which is good for the growth of sweet flags. 5. There was not significant difference in the growth of the sweet flag between non-shading and 55％ shading. It thus appears that sweet flags can grow soundly under shading rate lower than 55％.

In this paper, we present the implementation and performance analysis of H.324M mobile multimedia terminal which s under standardization. The H.324M is the mobile extension of H.324 which is the standard for low bit rate multimedia terminals operating over GSTN. For H.324M, the multiplexing protocol (H.223) of H.324 is enhanced to protect data from the transmission errors over mobile channels. The multiplexing protocol of H.324M is classified into Levels 0, 1, 2, and 3 depending on the level of error protection. Each Level is analyzed according to different types of the data loss elements. Simulation results show that the loss caused by the corrupted flag and header produces the most serious performance degradation. Levels 1 and 2 which protect the header and flag are effective in reducing the total loss. Furthermore, the optimal flag length and threshold value for Levels 1 and 2 are determined.

Recent studies determined that a chronic western-style diet increased the endogenous small heterodimer partner (SHP) protein levels in mice. In experiments with cell cultures, chenodeoxy cholic acid (CDCA) treatment increased endogenous SHP protein levels and reduced the degradation rate of exogenously expressed flag-SHP levels in the human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 cells. In addition, bile acid-induced intestinal fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF-19) increased the half-life of the exogenously expressed SHP when HepG2 cells were transfected with ad-flag-SHP. However, both the expression level and the degradation rate of the endogenous SHP in response to cholic acid and FGF-19 have not been well understood, either in mice or in cultured HepG2 cells. This study examined the effects of cholic acid treatment on the endogenous SHP protein levels in mice and the effects of FGF-19 on the degradation rate of the endogenous SHP protein in HepG2 cells. Mice fed 0.5% cholic acid in normal chow showed an increase in endogenous SHP protein levels during both 12 hr and 24 hr treatment periods as compared to control mice fed only normal chow. In cultured HepG2 cells, treatment with CDCA did not noticeably change the rate of degradation in the endogenous SHP protein from cells not treated with CDCA. Although consistent with the previous studies on the exogenous ad-flag-SHP protein, treatment with FGF-19 significantly decreased the degradation rate of the endogenous SHP protein when HepG2 cells were treated with cyclohexamide. These results suggest that both bile acids and FGF-19 increase the endogenous SHP protein levels in mouse liver and HepG2 cells.

The effect of leaf spray ($80{\ell}$ of 100 times diluted solution per 10a) of three liquid complex fertilizers (Compresal 1 and 2. and 3P) on rice (var, Minehikari) at 10 days before and after heading and 20 days after heading in a farmer's field was investigated by yield components and flag leaf analysis. 1. Leaf spray significantly increased filled grain ratio (at 10% level) and harvest index (at 5% level) suggesting significant yeild increase in uniform field condition. 2. Phosphorus content of flag leaf was in deficient range and increased by leaf spray while iron content was decreased indicating that liquid complex fertilizer supplied phosphorus which ratards iron translocation to the upper leaves. 3. Higher manganese content in flag leaf by leaf spray (significant at 5% level) suggests that phosphorus stimulates manganese translocation to the upper leaves resulting in favorable Fe/Mn balance. 4. Nitrogen concentration in flag leaf was in the insufficient range suggesting that nitrogen in liquid complex fertilzer had to be a nitrogen supply source. 5. In flag leaf calcium concentration was increased by leaf spray but that of boron and zinc was decreased.

In the processing of ocean color remote sensing data, spatio-temporal binning is crucial for securing effective observation area. The validity determination for given source data refers to the information in Level-2 flag. For minimizing the stray light contamination, NASA OBPG's standard algorithm suggests the use of large filtering window but it results in the loss of effective observation area. This study is aimed for quality improvement of ocean color remote sensing data by recovering/extending the portion of effective observation area. We analyzed the difference between MODIS/Aqua standard and modified product in terms of chlorophyll-a concentration, spatial and temporal coverage. The recovery fractions in Level-2 swath product, Level-3 daily composite product, 8-day composite product, and monthly composite product were $13.2({\pm}5.2)%$, $30.8({\pm}16.3)%$, $15.8({\pm}9.2)%$, and $6.0({\pm}5.6)%$, respectively. The mean difference between chlorophyll-a concentrations of two products was only 0.012%, which is smaller than the nominal precision of the geophysical parameter estimation. Increase in areal coverage also results in the increase in temporal density of multi-temporal dataset, and this processing gain was most effective in 8-day composite data. The proposed method can contribute for the quality enhancement of ocean color remote sensing data by improving not only the data productivity but also statistical stability from increased number of samples.

Number and percentage of diseased area of leaf blast lesions formed on different leaf location were mostly distributed from the flag leaf(n-1) to the 3rd leaf from the top(n-3) in Tongil line rice varieties and on the 2nd leaf from the top(n-2) in Japonica type rice varieties. Especially leaf lesions of Nopung which was more susceptible to leaf blast among Ton1 line rice varieties were mostly distributed on flag leaf. Relation between the degree of lesion distribution and level of fertilizer was more clear with an increase of fertilizer quantity. Leaf blast lesions of rice varieties were generally distributed from the flag leaf to the with leaf from the top but mainly those at flag leaf and the 2nd leaf from the top were found to be most responsible for inoculum source of panicle blast after booting stage. Increase of the conidia formation was resulted from fluctuation of temperature$(24^{\circ}C\~16^{\circ}C)$ in low temperature range after booting stage and many inoculum sources were supplied on panicles until the end of September without impeding dispersal from leaf blast lesions as an inoculum source of panicle blast.

Angiopoietin-2 (Ang2) is a naturally occurring antagonist for angiopoietin-l (Angl) and its Tie2 receptor during vasculogenesis, Although angiopoietins have been expressed in several mammalian cell lines, their expression levels are low. Recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines expressing a high level of human Ang2 or its analog, human $Ang2_{443}$, with an amino-terminal FLAG-tag were constructed by transfecting the expression vectors into dhfr-deficient CHO cells and subsequent gene amplification in medium containing stepwise increments in methotrexate level. Secreted Ang2 or human $Ang2_{443}$ were purified from the cultured medium using an anti-FLAG- agarose affinity chromatography, The purified Ang2 and $Ang2_{443}$ migrated on SOS-PAGE as a broad band, characteristic of glycosylated protein. Their biological activity in vitro was demonstrated in a serum deprivation-induced apoptosis assay. Ang2 at high concentration, like AngI, can be an apoptosis survival factor for endothelial cells through the activation of the Tie2 receptor.

The flag and lower leaves (4th or 5th) of rice plant from the field of NPK simple trial and from three low productive area were analyzed in order to find out certain diagnostic criteria of nutritional status at harvest. 1. Nutrient contents in the leaves from no fertilizer, minus nutrient and fertilizer plots revealed each criterion for induced deficiency (severe deficient case induced by other nutrients), deficiency (below the critical concentration), insufficiency (hidden hunger region), sufficiency (luxuary consumption stage) and excess (harmful or toxic level). 2. Nitrogen contents for the above five status was less than 1.0%, 1.0 to 1.2, 1.2 to 1.6, 1.6 to 1.9 and greater than 1.9, respectively. 3. It was less than 0.3%, 0.3 to 0.4, 0.4 to 0.55 and greater than 0.55 for phosphorus $(P_2O_5)$ but excess level was not clear. 4. It was below 0.5%, 0.5 to 0.9, 0.9 to 1.2, 1.2 to 1.4 and above 1.4 for potassium. 5. It was below 4%, 4 to 6, 6 to 11 and above 11 for silicate $(SiO_2)$ and no excess was appeared. 6. Potassium in flag leaf seemed to crow out nitrogen to ear resulting better growth of ear by the inhibition of overgrowth of flag leaf. 7. Phosphorus accelerated the transport of Mg, Si, Mn and K in this order from lower leaf to flag, and retarded that of Ca and N in this order at flowering while potassium accelerated in the order of Mn, and Ca, and retarded in the order of Mg, Si, P and N at milky stage. 8. Transport acceleration index (TAI) expressed as (F_2L_1-F_1L_2)\;100/F_1L_1$ where F and L stand for other nutrient cotents in flag and lower leaf and subscripts indicate the rate of a nutrient applied, appears to be suitable for the effect of the nutrient on the translocation of others. 9. The content of silicate $(SiO_2)$ in the flag was lower than that of lower leaf in the early season cultivation indicating hinderance in translocation or absorption. It was reverse in the normal season cultivation. 10. The infection rate of Helminthosporium frequently occurred in the potassium deficient field seemed to be related more to silicate and nitrogen content than potassium in the flag leaf. 11. Deficiency of a nutrient occured simultaniously with deficiency of a few other ones. 12. Nutritional disorder under the field condition seems mainly to be attributed to macronutrients and the role of micronutrient appears to be none or secondary.

This experiment was conducted to study about influenced inorganic element contents of flag leaf and chaff with different nitrogen and silicate application in Jinan (sea level 303m). The recommended rate of fertilizer application above N 15kg/10a was poor for dry production increment in cold in July elevation and was demanded increment of silicate. In the elevation of cold in July high rates of nitrogen application produced more incomplete grain and a reduced cold tolerance. These effects were due to over-content of soluble nitrogen within flag leaf and disturbance of uptaking potassium and silicate. On the other hand, the application of silicate could increase yield by promoting resistance to cold- damage. The application of increasing level of nitrogen resulted in increasing the contents of total nitrogen and phosphate in both sterile and fertile glumes. The contents of potassium and calcium were the highest at the level of nitrogen 10 - 15kg/10a, but magnessium was rather high at low nitrogen levels. It is interesting that at any level of nitrogen, over 6% higher silicate contents were noted in the fertile chaff than in the sterile chaff. Application of increasing level of silicate fertilizer decreased total nitrogen contents, but increased the contents of phosphate, potassium. and silicate in the chaff. Increasing rate of silicate content by increasing silicate addition was remarkably higher in the fertile chaff than in the sterile chaff.

The examination to find out how the activity of glutamine synthetase (GSA) develop in each wheat leaves during the growth period was carried out. GSA/g FW/leaf were very low at leaf differentiation stage and increased highly several times by unfolding and development of leaf, and declined deeply with the advance of senescence in each leaves. GSA/g FW/leaf were risen gradually from the every lower leaves to the every upper leaves, in consequence activity level and maximum peak per g fresh weight of 7th-flag leaves were two or three times higher than those at the 1st-4th leaves in all of 12 applied nitrogen treatments, thereupon. the highest activities per g fresh weight showed in the 8th leaves. GSA/g FW/leaf was shown two peaks in the 6th-flag leaves and one peak in 1st-4th leaves, respectively. GSA/g FW/leaf (except for senescence leaves) and GSA/plant were increased gradually to the infloresscence emerging stage and were shown the first maximum peak at 13 days before anthesis, then were declined rapidly. to the milk ripe stage (7 days after anthesis). and were shown the second maximum peak at the early dough ripe stage (22 days after anthesis) .
