Mesorhabditis microbursaris (Steiner, 1926) Sudhaus, 2011, belonging to the family Mesorhabditidae (Rhabditomorpha), is newly reported from South Korea. During a survey of small streams, M. microbursaris was isolated from sedimentary soil samples. The genus Mesorhabditis Osche, 1952 nematodes are distributed all over the world and are mostly found from terrestrial habitats, however are sometimes found in freshwater. At present, 34 valid species have been recorded from Mesorhabditis; however, only three species have been reported from South Korea. Mesorhabditis microbursaris exhibits morphological characters of other congeneric species, including shorter distance between vulva and anus than the distance between anus and tail, rudimentary bursa with narrow velum and short genital papillae, shorter spicules than tail and conical tail. However, this species can be distinguished from other Mesorhabditis species by its morphometric characters and three pairs of bursal papillae. Details of the morphological characteristics and morphometrics of M. microbursaris are described and illustrated based on optical microscopy.

Two new records of Trichocomaceae, namely Aspergillus allahabadii and Penicillium sizovae, were isolated in 2016 during a survey of fungal diversity in different crop fields locations in Gyeongnam, Korea. These species were identified based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis using internal transcribed spacer region and ${\beta}-tubulin$-encoding gene sequence data. A. allahabadii and P. sizovae have not yet been reported in Korea. Thus, this is the first report of these species in Korea, and their descriptions as well as details of their morphological characters are presented.

To better understand the morphological variation for Perilla crop in different areas of China, we studied the morphological variation in 87 accessions (84 cultivated var. frutescens and three cultivated var. crispa) from high latitude (Northeast China) and middle latitude (North and Northwest China) areas of China by examining seven quantitative and 10 qualitative characters. Analysis of the morphological variation determined that there was significant morphological differences in five quantitative traits between cultivated var. frutescens and cultivated var. crispa, including effective number of branches (QN2), number of internodes (QN3), number of branches (QN4), length of the largest inflorescence (QN5), and days from germination to flowering (QN7). However, two quantitative traits-plant height and number of florets of the largest inflorescence-did not show any significant differences between cultivated var. frutescens and cultivated var. crispa. In addition, significant differences for six quantitative traits were found between the accessions of cultivated var. frutescens originating from high and middle latitude areas in China, which included QN2, QN3, QN5, number of florets of the largest inflorescence (QN6), and QN7. Principal components analysis (PCA) identified five quantitative characters [plant height (QN1), QN2, QN3, QN4, QN7] and six qualitative characters [fragrance of plant (QL1), color of reverse side of leaf (QL3), degree of pubescence (QL5), color of flower (QL6), shape of leaf (QL7), and hardness of seed (QL10)] that contributed to the positive direction on the first axis. The other quantitative and qualitative characters contributed to the negative direction on the first axis. Most accessions of cultivated var. frutescens and cultivated var. crispa were clearly separated by the first axis. In addition, most accessions of cultivated var. frutescens are from high latitude and middle latitude areas that were clearly separated by the first axis, except for several accessions. The findings from this study will provide useful information towards understanding the morphological variation of Perilla crop according to geographical distribution in high and middle latitude regions of China.

The morphological characters of the family Bagridae living in the river systems flowing into the south and western seas of Korea were reviewed and a taxonomic revision was made. The family Bagridae was classified into two genera: Pseudobagrus and Leiocassis. Species corresponding to genus Pseudobagrus were P. fulvidraco, P. koreanus Uchida, sp. nov., P. brevicorpus, and genus Leiocassis were L. nitidus, L. ussuriensis, and L. longirostris. Among them Pseudobagrus koreanus Uchida, sp. nov. and P. brevicorpus are endemic species of Korea. As the intergeneric taxonomic characters, the outstanding morphological differences between genera Pseudobagrus and Leiocassis were distinguished in following characters; the serrated structure of pectoral spine, the length of barbels, the number of pectoral fin rays, the structure of cranial lateral line system and the fused state of 3-4 hypurals. Pelteobagrus fulvidraco and Coreobagrus brevicorpus recorded previously in Korea were classified as Pseudobagrus fulvidraco and P. brevicorpus, respectively. Pelteobagrus nitidus and Pseudobagrus ussuriensis are also changed to genus Leiocassis. The characters of interspecific classification belonging to genera Pseudobagrus and Leiocasis were the shape of caudal fin, the form of body, the length of body, the number of anal fin ray and the number of gill rakers. Pseudobagrus sp. was named into Pseudobagrus koreanus Uchida, sp. nov..

From the perspective that RPG games give players a sense of reality, the characterization of game characters can be said to be at the heart of design behavior. The personality of a unique character enhances the player's concern and commitment, allowing players to experience a variety of experiences. Through theoretical research and case analysis, this paper analyzes the expression of individuality in RPG game character design. In the RPG game, the way to express the character's individuality is first based on the game's time-space background, plot, task, etc. to inform the character's general gender, race, occupation, and skills. In line with the application and use of the characters, the roles will be developed in a concrete and rich way, and the shapes, movements, colors, costumes and weapons will be more refined. The purpose of this study is to obtain the main factors that influence RPG character's personality design from the viewpoint of perceptual design theory. In addition, it is proposed that the RPG game character personality design method should be adopted.

The aim of this study is to find the reasons of success and failure of digital animations in terms of 'immersion.' For the purpose, the causes of immersion were analyzed through complex comparison about concepts and stories of two animation films with similar size of budget: 'Shrek 2' which ranked number 1 in the box-office of animation and 'Mars Needs Moms' which ranked number 172 in the same category. The complex results showed that immersion becomes bigger with creativity and popularity of the characters' outer concept, diversity and organic of the characters' inner concept, and diversity and consistency of the background. Moreover, gradual arrangement of characters' appearance in the story and increasing number of the characters, and visual changes around the plot heightening with a well-organized passage increase immersion. After all, immersion of digital animation requires developing creative, diverse, and popular concept and arranging and strengthening strategic well-organized plot of parts and the whole. This is the key to convergence it.
