More than 20 and 10 clades / ecotypes of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, respectively, have been identified in various oceanic regions. However, their diversity has yet to be thoroughly studied in the northwest Pacific Ocean. Further, spatial distribution of Synechococcus clades in the oligotrophic oceans has been scarcely characterized. To elucidate picocyanobacterial lineage distribution in the northwest Pacific Ocean, 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer sequences of picocyanobacteria were sequenced by barcoded amplicon pyrosequencing method. Additional pyrosequencing library using a primer specific for the Synechococcus subcluster-5.1 was constructed to thoroughly understand Synechococcus diversity in the oligotrophic oceans. In warm pool area, Prochlorococcus was predominant and showed a distinct depthpartitioning between HLII and LL ecotypes. Despite low abundances, diverse Synechococcus clades appeared in the oligotrophic open ocean, showing both vertical and horizontal niche partitioning. Clade II was the predominant Synechococcus clade, especially in upper euphotic depths. In shallow and middle euphotic depths, clades UC-A, III, and CRD1 were distributed broadly. However, a distinct shift in the horizontal distribution was found at ca. $20^{\circ}N$. Conversely, clades XVII and CRD2 dominated at deep euphotic depths and constituted a higher proportion than clade II. These niche-partitioning of Synechococcus clades seemed to be related with temperature, nutrient concentration as well as iron concentration.

Counts of herb stems were made with each systematic grid sized 10cm by 1300cm within six apparently homogeneous herb layers under the open young Japanese red pine, Pinus densiflora, stands. The stands had often been subjected to strong human interferences such as burning, cutting, grazing, and denuding since human settlement until the conservation scheme practiced in these stands for last decade. In addition, amounts of loss of ignition and field capacity were determined to detect soil heterogeneity among and within the stands. The values of information measure of diversity(H), and Hurlbert's probability of interspecfic encounter(Δ), obtained here do not show any consistent correlation. The amount of interspecific competetion(Δ1), the ratio of interspecific to intraspecific competetion(Δ4), Levin's niche breadth(Sh), and species evenness(V), increase, while the amount of intraspecific competetion decrease, as the soil factors become favorable. One stand examined does not follow the above trends, which is more young and shows strong within site heterogeneity of the soil factors. The stand includes pioneer species which is not detectable without detailed observation. It is argued that in stable or favorable environment more intense interspecific competetion and less intraspecific competetion might occur, but this situation does not necessarily always bring smaller niche breadth. In this connection, the results support Hurlbert's contention that the two components of diversity should be analyzed separately.

This study was focused on recognitive reaction. The purposes of this study was to analyze the fashion brands through correlation analysis between top of mind, recall, recognition, impact index and consumer behavior, and to identify the graveyard brand, niche brand and core brand. 33 questions about 20 fashion brands were asked to 442 males and females from the middle school students to age of 40. Data were analyzed mean, standard deviation, frequency, and correlation by using SPSS 12.0. The results were as follows: 1. Top of mind, recall and recognition affected recognizing the brands and including evoked setting, but it didn't lead the customer to purchase the brand. 2. Although top of the mind and recall are high, the percentage of purchasing the brand is relatively low if a consumer doesn't own the brand. 3. Brands 'B', 'L', 'PF', 'D' and 'BM' were represented as niche Brands which had high recognition and memory. 4. Brands 'TB', 'I', 'EN', 'ML', 'E' could be Graveyard brands that need special management. 5. Brands with the high impact index were 'A', 'T', 'I', 'C' and 'B'. These brands were recognized as the core brands by consumers.

An environmental problem is the greatest barrier to pursuit of mankinds existence and development. The major traits of this problem are totality and complexity, therefore the finding of environmental problem's solutions is very difficult. The eco-friendly development that pursuing the ecological principles is the direction of environmental problem's solutions. Environmentally sound and sustainable development, deep ecological thought or environmentalism, the following of god's creation order and the old oriental thought are patterns and principles of eco-friendly development. Every creature has one ecological niche from the ecological principles of adoption, competition, evolution, variety, circulation, harmony and equilibrium. Ecological niche means that every creature has ecological status and duty. Therefore finding the mankinds ecological niche is important because it is desirable directions for eco-friendly development to solve environmental problems.

Plants undergo cell division throughout their life in order to maintain their growth. It is well known that root and shoot tip of plants possess meristems, which contain quiescent cells. Fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-(3-trifluromethyl (phenyl))-4-(1H)-pyridinone) is an established inhibitor of both ABA and carotenoid biosynthesis. However, the other functions of fluridone remain undiscovered. In this report, we provide experimental evidence that fluridone plays a role in the division of the quiescent centre of the Arabidopsis root meristem. This study examined the effects of exogenous fluridone and ABA on the development of the stem cell niche in Arabidopsis root. We show that fluridone promoted the division of stem cells in the quiescent centre, whereas exogenous ABA suppressed quiescent centre division. Furthermore, we established a novel regulatory function for fluridone by demonstrating that it plays an important role in postembryonic development.

The electromagnetic apparatus plays an important role in high power electrical systems. It is of great importance to provide an effective approach for the optimization of the high power electromagnetic apparatus. However, premature convergence and few Pareto solution set of the optimization for electromagnetic apparatus always happen. This paper proposed a modified multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the niche sorting strategy. Applying to the modified algorithm, this paper guarantee the better Pareto optimal front with an enhanced distribution. Aiming at shortcomings in the closing bounce and slow breaking velocity of electromagnetic apparatus, the multi-objective optimization model was established on the basis of the traditional optimization. Besides, by means of the improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm, this paper processed the model and obtained a series of optimized parameters (decision variables). Compared with other different classical algorithms, the modified algorithm has a satisfactory performance in the multi-objective optimization problems in the electromagnetic apparatus.

개념 생태에서 개념은 독립적으로 존재하는 것이 아니라 생태적 환경 하에 놓여 생태 지위를 차지한다. 생물학의 많은 개념들 중에서 유전 개념은 유전 단원 외에도 여러 단원과 관련되어 있으며, 유전 단원 내에서도 영역 사이의 개념 간 의존도가 높은 단원이므로 생태 지위적 접근을 통해 개념의 다양성과 개념 근접성을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 9학년 학생 995명을 대상으로 하였다. 설문지의 설문 영역은 유전자, 염색체, 체세포분열, 감수분열로 4가지 유전 관련 개념을 대상으로 하였다. 설문지는 각 영역과 관련된 생물학적 개념이나 용어를 제시하게 하고, 제시한 생물학적 개념이나 용어를 각 영역과의 관련된 정도를 1에서 30의 점수로 표시하게 하였다. 9학년 학생들을 대상으로 수업을 통한 유전개념의 변화를 생태 지위적 접근 방법으로 분석하였다. 수업을 통해 전체 개념 수는 감수분열, 체세포분열, 염색체, 유전자 영역 순으로 모든 영역에서 증가하였고, 전체 개념 수의 증가로 인해 상대밀도는 감소하였다. 개념 다양성 지수는 감수분열, 체세포분열, 염색체, 유전자 순으로 모두 증가하였다. 그리고 학습 후 개념들의 상대밀도의 차이가 감소하였으며, 관련성 점수의 차이도 감소하여 개념 간 유사성이 증가하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 다음의 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 첫째, 학습을 통해 유전개념의 개념 다양성이 증가하였다. 둘째, 학습을 통해 유전개념의 개념 근접성이 증가하였다.

This study attempted to elucidate the ecological niches and influencing environmental factors of Quercus variabilis and Quercus acutissima, which are representative deciduous broad-leaved trees in Korean forests, taxonomically close and genetically similar, under climate change conditions. Under climate change conditions induced by increased CO₂ and temperature, soil moisture and nutrient environments were manipulated in four gradients. At the end of the growing, plants were harvested to measure growth responses, calculate ecological niches, and compare them with those of the control. Eperimental plants were grown for 180 days in a glass greenhouse designed with four gradients each for soil moisture and nutrient environments under climate change conditions induced by increased CO₂ and temperature. After harvesting, growth responses of leaf traits were measured, ecological niches were calculated, and these were compared with those of the control groups. Furthermore, the responses of the two species' populations were interpreted using principal component analysis(PCA) based on leaf trait measurements. As a result, under climate change conditions, the ecological niche breadth for moisture environment was broader for Quercus variabilis than Quercus acutissima, whereas for the nutrient environment, Quercus acutissima exhibited a broader niche breadth than Quercus variabilis. And the rate of change in ecological niche breadth due to climate change decreased for Quercus variabilis in both moisture and nutrient environments, while for Quercus acutissima, it increased in the moisture environment but decreased in the nutrient environment. Additionally, in terms of group responses, both Quercus variabilis and Quercus acutissima expanded their ecological niches under climate change conditions in both soil moisture and nutrient conditions, with Quercus acutissima exhibiting a broader niche than Quercus variabilis under nutrient conditions. These results indicate that the changes in leaf morphological characteristics and the responses of individuals reflecting them vary not only under climate change conditions but also depending on environmental factors.

상수리나무와 굴참나무는 한반도 저지대 인가 근처에서 자생한다. 그러나 상수리나무는 토양조건이 양호한 곳에서 분포하나 굴참나무는 이 종에 비해 건조하고 경사가 급한 곳에 서식한다. 이러한 두 종의 분포적 특성을 밝히기 위하여 유식물에 주요 환경요인 중 광, 수분과 영양소를 각각 4구배로 처리하고, 2007년 3$\sim$10월가지 양묘하여 두 종의 생태적 지위와 생태적 중복역을 분석하였다. 상수리나무의 생태적 지위폭은 환경요인 중 수분과 영양소가 광에 비하여 약간 넓었다. 측정한 14가지 형질 중 길이와 관련된 형질 6가지는 모든 환경요인에 대하여 넓었고, 무게와 관련된 형질 8가지는 수분, 영양소에서 넓었고, 광에서 좁았다. 굴참나무의 생태적 지위폭은 환경요인 중 수분과 영양소가 광에 비하여 넓었다. 측정한 14가지 형질 중 길이와 관련된 형질 6가지는 모든 환경요인에 대하여 넓었고,무게와 관련된 형질 7가지는 수분과 영양소에서 넓었고, 광에서 좁았다. 14가지 항목 중 줄기직경은 광과 수분에서 넓었고, 영양소에서 좁았다. 상수리나무의 지위폭은 굴참나무의 것보다 모든 환경요인에서 넓었다. 이는 상수리나무가 굴참나무 보다 환경에 잘 적응할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 두 종의 생태적 중복역은 측정한 14가지 형질 중 길이와 관련된 형질 7가지는 넓었고, 무게와 관련된 형질 7가지는 좁았다. 환경요인에 대해서는 수분에서 넓었고, 광에서 좁았다. 이는 수분에 대해서 상수리나무와 굴참나무의 경쟁이 치열할 것으로 판단된다. 다변량 분석에 의하면 두 종은 생태적으로 뚜렷하게 분화된 유형을 보였다. 이 유형을 결정짓는 형질은 요인 1에 잎몸 길이, 잎폭, 잎자루 길이, 줄기 길이, 뿌리 길이, 잎몸 무게, 지상부 무게, 뿌리 무게, 식물체 무게와 관련이 있었다. 이상으로 볼때 굴참나무가 상수리나무보다 건조하고 척박한 곳에 주로 분포하는 것은 생태적 지위폭이 상수리나무보다 좁아 좋은 조건에서는 경쟁에서 약하기 때문에 불량한 조건에서 살아가는 것으로 해석될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
