The present study was carried out to establish the standard karyotype of the Korean Native Chicken and to find their chromosomal band markers using high-resolution banding technique. Chromosome analysis was performed on early chick embryos following in vitro culture of fertilized eggs of the yellow-brown and the red-brown lines of the Korean Native Chicken which had been established at National Livestock Research Institute. The high-resolution banding of the chromosome was achieved by treating the embryos with ethidium bromide and colchicine during culture. On GTG-banding, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited a typical chick banding pattern in all the macrochromosomes. Overall chromosomal morphology and positions of typical landmarks of the Korean Native Chicken were virtually identical to those of White Leghorn and International System for Standardized Avian Karyotypes(ISSAK). However, the lengths and G-band numbers of the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes were greater than those of White Leghorn and ISSAK. Especially in chromosomes 1 and Z, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited more separated bands in compared with ISSAK. In C-banding patterns, although a lot of observed cells had C-band polymorphic patterns, almost the Korean Native Chicken macrochromosomes had heterochromatic C-band on centromeres and/or near terminal part. However, the heterochromatic C-band was constantly observed at the end of q-arm of Z chromosomes and on the whole W chromosome. In addition, the Korean Native Chicken exhibited distinctive heteromorphic patterns of C-bands on the centromere of chromosome 3 and at the end of q-arm of Z chromosome between homologous chromosomes.

Three strains of infectious bronchitis viruses (IBVs), designated VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11, were isolated from diseased/infected chickens in Hanoi, Thainguyen, and Haiphong provinces of Vietnam. These birds had received a live IBV vaccination but still suffered from infectious bronchitis. VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11 harbor cleavage sites (RRTGR, HRRRR, and HRRKR, respectively) within the S protein. A BLASTN search revealed that the S gene of VNUA3, VNUA8, and VNUA11 showed the highest nucleotide identity with those of IBV strains CK/Italy/I2022/13, CK/CH/LHLJ/08-6, and GX-NN120084, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses based on the S gene nucleotide sequences revealed that VNUA3, VNUA8 and VNUA11 clustered with Q1-like, QX-like and TC07-2-like genotypes, respectively, and were closely related to reference IBV strains from China. However, the Vietnam IBVs showed high divergence from vaccine strains 4/91 and Ma5, which are used in the Vietnamese farms from which the isolates were obtained. Taken together, these results indicate that at least three genotypes of IBV are circulating among chickens in North Vietnam. This is the first report of the molecular epidemiology of IBV in Vietnam.

Many isolates from different forest soil layers did not show appreciable growth on full strength of the conventional nutrient broth (NB medium) but grow on its 100-fold dilution (DNB medium). These isolates were divided into four types according to organic nutrient concentration in the growth medium from $1^{-1}\;to\;10^{-4}$dilution of normal NB medium. Oligotrophic bacteria were type II and type IV which grew in $10^{-4}$ dilution of NB (1 mg C/l) medium. Sixty strains were isolated for obligate oligotrophic bacteria. Chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics of eleven isolates of acetylene-reducing (nitrogen-fixing) oligotrophic bacteria from forest soil were investigated. They showed similar characteristics: the cellular fatty acid mainly consisted of straight-chain unsaturated $C_{18:1}$ (60-84% of total fatty acids). Ubiquinone Q-10 and a high guanine plus-cytosine content(61-64 mol%) were found. Eleven isolates of nitrogen-fixing oligotrophic bacteria were found to be closely related by full 16S rDNA sequence simility and many common taxonomic traits. Analysis of full 16S rDNA sequences of eleven isolates indicated that they were more closely related to Bradyrhizobium (similarity values: 98.1-98.8%), Agromonas, Nitrobacter, and Afipia.

The concept of natural grouping of plant designated as the "Amentiferous" is no longer given serious credence, and many of the families included in this grouping have been dispersed in diverse order. Because a review of taxonomic treatments of amentiferous taxa reveals diverse classifications, it has become necessary to investigate new characteristics and attempt to determine the significance of these characteristics in terms of amentiferous taxonomy. Protein analyses by isoelectrofocusing(IEF) and rocket immunoelectrophoresis(RIE) have proved to be useful in the delicitation of Quercus taxa using pollen extracts from selected taxa. When Quercus pollen extracts were separated by electrophoresis based on their isoelectric points in a stable pH gradient and substrates for estrase activity were stained, ten bands were revealed between pH 5-14. Within Lepidobalanus grouping, a great diversity in the pollen protein zymograms was observed with some segregation corresponding to the designated taxonomic sections. Two taxa of Cyclobalanopsis produced a zymogram that is somewhat similar to taxa included within the section Prinus of Lepidobalanus, and less similar to taxa within the section Cerris of the same subgenus. Three tested taxa of the Cerris are in the similar zymogram each other, being segregable from the taxa of Prinus. Quantitative and qualitative analyses for serological relationships within and among th Quercus were also employed. To calculate the degree of protein similarity, total rocket heights obtained from RIE provided an index of serological correspondence(SC). It is reconfirmed that the Quercus is distantly separated from the Fagus according to SC. Comparative data from rocket number and SC in the tested taxa of Quercus also indicate that Lepidobalanus is separable from Cyclobalanopsis. Within the Lepidobalanus Q. acutissima and Q. acutissima x variabilis are almost homogeneors and distinguishable from the other tested taxa of same subgenus. Although the number of taxa tested has been limited, the overall serological evidence best reflects the classification proposed by Redher(1940) and Melchior (1964), having the genus Quercus subdivided into three subgunera: Erythrobalanus, Lepidobalanus, and Cyclobalanopsis.alanopsis.

In order to describe runoff characteristics of urban drainage area, outflow from subbasins divided by considering topography and flow path, is analyzed through stormwater system. In doing so, concentration time and time-area curve change significantly according to basin shape, and runoff characteristics are changed greatly by these attributes. Therefore, in this development study of FFC2Q model by MLTM, we aim to improve the accuracy in analyzing runoff by adding a module that considers basin shape, giving it an advantage over popular urban hydrology models, such as SWMM and ILLUDAS, that can not account for geometric shape of a basin due to their assumptions of unit subbasin as having a simple rectangular form. For subbasin shapes, symmetry types (rectangular, ellipse, lozenge), divergent types (triangle, trapezoid), and convergent types (inverted triangle, inverted trapezoid) have been analyzed in application of time-area curve for surface runoff analysis. As a result, we found that runoff characteristic can be quite different depending on basin shape. For example, when Gunja basin was represented by lozenge shape, the best results for peak flow discharge and overall shape of runoff hydrograph were achieved in comparison to observed data. Additionally, in case of considering subbasin shape, the number of division of drainage basin did not affect peak flow magnitude and gave stable results close to observed data. However, in case of representing the shape of subbasins by traditional rectangular approximation, the division number had sensitive effects on the analysis results.

This paper analyzes complex vector current control for the enhanced cross-coupling compensation in accordance with parameter variation in grid-connected inverter system, and verifies through simulation and experiment. Complex vector current control is performed in the synchronous reference frame through d-q transformation. It generates cross-coupling components with rotating nominal angular frequency. In general, cross-coupling elements are compensated by decoupling terms added to output of conventional decoupling PI controller. But, it is impossible to compensate them perfectly which transient response is especially deteriorated such as large overshoot and slow tracking, when variation of grid impedance or measurement error occurs. However, complex vector current control can improve stability and response characteristic of current control regardless of the situation as before. Decoupling controller and complex vector controller are represented through complex forms, and these controllers are analyzed by using frequency response in s-domain, respectively. It is verified that complex vector controller has more superior response characteristic than decoupling controller through MATALB, PSIM and experimental in 5kW grid-connected inverter when L filter parameter is varied from 1.1mH to increase double, 2.2mH.

In this paper, a new voltage collapse proximity index (VCPI) based on system apparent power loss sensitivity is proposed. The newly proposed index .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ reaches -.inf. at system voltage collapse point and can be represented by .root..lambda.$^{Ploss}$$^{2}$+.lambda.$^{Qloss}$$^{2}$ where .lambda.$^{Ploss}$ and .lambda.$^{Qloss}$ are the VCPI based on the system active and reactive power loss sensitivity respectively. These indices can be used for the system VAR investment. .DELTA.Q [VAR] is invested, step by step, by the priority of the VCPI index given for each bus. The indices use information from normal power flow equations and their Jacobians. Computation time for deriving .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ is almost same as that for power flow calculation. Two case studies prove the effectiveness of the .lambda.$^{Sloss}$ index and the VAR investment algorithm proposed.

At the moment, the control ability of wind farms is a prime research concern for the grid integration of large wind farms, due to their required active role in the power system. As more wind turbines are installed, the power from wind energy will start to replace conventional generation units and its influence on power systems cannot be neglected. Besides, because of the intermittent nature of wind the output power of wind turbines fluctuates according to wind speed variation. Especially an isolated power system with small capacity such like Jeju needs more systematic solutions and regulations(grid code). This paper presents the idea of approach for centralized operating wind farm strategy to regulate the wind farm power production to the reference power ordered by the system operator. The doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) can control active and reactive power in feasible range. So wind farm comprised of DFIG has the possibility of a controllable component in the power system. The presented wind farm control has a hierarchical structure with both a wind farm control level and a wind turbine control level.

In the past, the analog protection relays have been widely used for the safety-related systems in the nuclear power plants due to their stability and reliability. Meanwhile, as the high performance digital system has been developed, the digital systems have been adopted in the non-safety systems. However, since the digital systems currently used in the non-safety systems were not developed according to Q-class standard, Commercial Grade Item Dedication (CGID) procedure should be performed in order to apply them to the safety-related system. The purpose of this paper is to describe the CGID procedure including the analysis of the hardware architecture as well as the software embedded in protective relay to apply to the emergency diesel generator in the nuclear power plant. The entire CGID procedure was performed strictly according to the international standard and regulations.

The detail simulation modeling of fully-fed induction generator is investigated through PC based MATLAB/Simulink environment. Generator's stator currents are controlled by indirect vector control method. In this method, generator side converter controls the maximum excitation (air gap flux) by stator d-axis current and controls generator torque by stator q-axis current. Induction generator speed is controlled by tip speed ratio (TSR) upon the wind speed variations in order to generate the maximum output power. The generator torque model is specified as a 3-blade wind turbine with rating, then, the model is simulated under normal operating condition and three different fault conditions. The matlab model designed for fully-fed induction generator based wind farm provides good performance under normal and grid fault conditions. It provides good results for different pwm techniques and fault conditions except the single-phase line to ground fault, which should be verified with real time data from wind farms.
