The annual variations of some heavy metal concentrations, Al, Mn, Fe, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg were determined on tile day of spring tides in every month from May 1977 to April 1978 at eight stations in the Nagdong River downstream. Samples were taken at intervals of one or two hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at each station. Annual ranges and means of concentrations of the heavy metals are as follows : aluminium 40.7-3700 ppb, 286 ppb; manganese 10.3-261.5 ppb, 80.8 ppb; iron ND-1237 ppb, 147.7 ppb; copper ND-30.9 ppb, 2.49 ppb; lead ND-29.9 ppb, 1.10 ppb; zinc ND-156.8 ppb, 5.61 ppb; cadmium ND-1.22 ppb, 0.09 ppb; mercury ND-0.37 ppb, 0.02 ppb respectively. In general, the contents of heavy metals except managanese and mercury were higher at the stations above station one, Kupo, though the ranges of the contents showed remarkable difference according to the sampling stations. Annual means of the concentrations of iron and manganese were exceeded already the desirable standards for industrial water and closed to the criteria of raw water for public supply. The values that over the criteria of raw water were sometimes found. Mercury concentration showed comparative high level such as ND-0.37 ppb in annual range but it was not over the environment criterion, 0.5 ppb. Aluminium, iron and mercury showed generally high values in summer period and other metals in winter period, through the patterns of seasonal variations were difference depending on the sampling stations and the kind of metals.

Objectives : In order to distinguish morphological characteristics, because the inside portion of the root bark of Scutellariae Radix decomposes as time goes by, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th year Scutellariae Radix were sampled and compared according to their external, internal, and flour states through optical microscope. Methods : The slice of the tested material made by paraffin section technique was colored with Safranine Malachite Green contrast methods, and the flour of it was mounted by the liquid made by the same ratio of each of glycerin, acetic acid, and water, and then observed and photographed by olymphus-BHT. Results : 1. The inside of 2nd year Scutellariae Radix was rich and golden, the transverse section of Scutellariae Radix that was 3rd years of age was golden, but there were many Scutellariae Radix whose center portion turned redish brown, and the center portion of 5th year Scutellariae Radix had been decomposed or empty. 2. 2nd year Scutellariae Radix had the most starch grain, 5th year Scutellariae Radix had the least, and the middle portion of xylem that was 5 years of age had a cell ring that was corkish, but 2nd and 3rd year Scutellariae Radix did not have it. 3. In the flour state, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th year Scutellariae Radix did not have any difference, but the amount of starch grain was the most in 2nd year Scutellariae Radix and the least in 5th year Scutellariae Radix.

In order to distinguish the genetic polymorphism among the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) obtained from East sea of Jumunjin, aquaculture of Tongyoung and Geoje, and East sea of North Korea, the ND-4 and cytochrome b genes of olive flounder were divided into 5 regions. Each region was analyzed by degenerating gel electrophoresis scanning (DGES), and by subsequent DNA sequencing. The DGES disclosed characteristic DNA polymorphisms in ND-4-2 and ND-4-3 regions of olive flounder, which were also confirmed by the DNA sequencing. The olive flounders obtained from the different marine areas showed DNA mutations in ND-4-2 region (G390A, C402T, and A411G； GenBank： AB028664), and also showed frequent DNA mutations in ND-4-3 region (C515G, C537T, C538T, A567G, G714A, C736T, G756A, A759T, T817C, and T829G), white the cytochrome b gene showed no DNA mutation both in the DGES and DNA sequencing. These data suggest that the ND-4-2 and ND-4-3 regions are candidate loci to distinguish the origin of olive flounder, and that the DGES used in this study provided fast and reliable informations for the genetic polymorphism.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Nd:YAG laser irradiation for sensory nerve conduction change. Nd:YAG laser was irradiated to mental region for 5 minutes with the parameters that 10 Hz and 20 Hz of 100 mJ/pulse. Target size of irradiation was 30 mm diameter of circle and target-tip distance was about 10 mm. Therefore, the power density were 212 $mW/cm^2$ and 424 $mW/cm^2$. Sensory nerve conduction was evaluated with $Neurometer^{\circled}$ CPT/C before and after Nd:YAG laser irradiation. As an outcomes, the current perception threshold(CPT) and pain tolerance threshold(PTT) were obtained. We made a comparison of these two values and the results were as follows. 1. There was no significant difference in CPT at 1W, 10 Hz and 2 W, 20 Hz Nd:YAG laser irradiation. 2. There was no significant difference in PTT at 10 Hz, 20 Hz of 100 mJ/pulse Nd:YAG laser. 3. There were no significant differences in CPT and PTT between 1 W, 10 Hz group and 2 W, 20 Hz group. Therefore, We can make a conclusion that Nd:YAG laser irradiation to mental region have no effect on mental nerve conduction in our study model.

This study was conducted to figure out the possibility of non-drainage in muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) hydroponics culture. Plants were grown under 3 different levels of drainage, standard (20~40%, SD), minimum (5~10%, MD), and non-drainage (ND). Throughout cultivation periods, constant water content and electrolyte conductivity changes in root zone were observed in SD in the range of 60~70% and $1.5{\sim}2.5dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$, respectively. ND treatment caused the fluctuation in water content and electrolyte conductivity of root zone and its change ranges were 30~50% in water content and $2{\sim}6dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ in electrolyte conductivity, but ND treatment did not decrease fruit quality. Even if fruit fresh weight was slightly lower in ND with 1,863 g, than in SD with 1,990 g, the fruit weight in ND meets standard market size, 1,800~2,000 g. Higher soluble solids content was observed in fruit in ND than in SD and MD. Total amount of drainage per plant was 27,718, 15,769 and 2,346 mL in SD, MD and ND, respectively. SD showed $83.2m^3$ drainage, 34.5% drainage of irrigation amount whereas required total irrigation amount in ND was very low with $7m^3$.

The change of phosphorescent property with chemical modification and co-doping of Nd as an auxiliary activator in CaAl$_2$$O_4$: Eu\ulcorner, Nd\ulcorner phosphor, employing Nd\ulcornerion(0.6%) and an co-activator maintained its afterglow for 4.5 hours. And also the initial persistent brightness and phosphorescent property were further improved both by substituting Al by B atoms and incorporation of Nd\ulcorner ion. It was found that the persistent time was 30 hours for&Ca(Al_{0.97}\;B_{0.03}) $_2$$O_4$:EU\ulcorner(0.3%), Nd\ulcorner(0.6%) phosphor.
