We present the design, expected performance, and current status of the wide field near-infrared camera (OAOWFC) now being developed at Okayama Astrophysical Observatory, NAOJ, NINS. OAOWFC is a near-infrared survey telescope whose effective aperture is 91cm. It works at Y, J, H, and $K_s$ bands and is dedicated to the survey of long period variable stars in the Galactic plane. The field of view is $0.95 {\times} 0.95 deg^2$ which is covered by one HAWAII-2 RG detector of 2048 ${\times}$ 2048 pixels with the pixel size of $18.5 {\mu}m\;{\times}\;18.5{\mu}m$, that results in the sampling pitch of 1.6 arcsec/pixel. OAOWFC can sweep the area of $840 deg^2$ every 3 weeks, attaining a limiting magnitude of 13 in $K_s$ band. It allows us to observe long period variables embedded in the Galactic plane where interstellar extinction is severe in optical.

To find out the changes in vertical distribution patterns over the 24-h period, a key and the first step to tackle the problem of adaptive significance of diel vertical migration (DVM), vertically stratified time series samplings with multiple opening/closing plankton samplers were done in the East Sea of Korea (Sea of Japan). Sampling was done almost every 4 h for one day period following the same water parcel in Nov. 1995 and May 1996, respectively. Resultant patterns of vertical distribution showed that some species such as most abundant taxa Metridia pacifica and Scolecithyicella minor, both Copepoda, performed DVM even in the study area of strong thermal stratification. Their patterns of DVM such as distance scales and timing of movements were not the same each other, and they were separated from other taxa in the dendrogram obtained by the cluster analyses, Most minor taxa grouped in one, however, seemed not to do DVM in the study area of strong thermal stratification. They usually preferred the warmer surface layer where the foods were probably more abundant.

Nitrifying bacteria were detected by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method at 6 sampling sites with different eutrophication degree in the Nak-Dong River and their tributaries. And conventional physico-chemical parameters including $NH_4-N$, $NO_3-N$, and TN were determined concurrently. In rainy period (July), there was no noticeable difference between the number of ammonia/nitrite-oxidizing bacteria detected at each site except Sang-Ju and the ratio of nitrifying bacteria to total counts stained by DAPI varied in 6~33%. By contrast, in the dry period (October), both of bacterial population was increased differently and the ratio of nitrifying bacteria to total counts ranged more widely from 6% in heavily polluted water zone, Hwa-Won to 60% in upper tributary with high agricultural land use. Byung-Sung-Chun. In January, the numbers of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria was reduced up to one tenth, while those of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria was apparently increased maybe due to high DO and low DOC.

This study has been designed to develop a health behavior scale. Data were collected through a survey over a period of two month period. Subjects who participated in the study were 298 Korean adults. The author used a convenience sampling method. The analysis of the data was done with SPSS PC for descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Initially 34 items were generated from the interview data of twenty one adults and from literature review and survey. This preliminary scale was analyzed for a reliability and validity. The results are as follow : 1. Crombach Coefficient alpha for the 30 items was .7907. 2. Factor analysis was done in order to confirm construct validity and nine factor were extracted from the results. These contributed 54.4% of the variance in the total score. 3. Nine factor label were 'exercise' 'stress management' 'energy conservation' 'limit in liking' 'selection of food' 'ingestion of natural food' 'health examination' 'relaxation' and 'nutrition'. The author suggests that this scale could be adequately applied in assessing the health behavior of Korean adults. The results of using this scale in a study can contribute to designing an appropriate health promotion strategy.

This study investigated temporal-spatial and variations in Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) products of parameters total suspended solids (TSS) and chlorophyll-a in the North Marine Areas of East China Sea.GOCI data were collected daily from February 2012 to December 2012. The higher chlorophyll-a values were observed during the investigation period. The relatively large increase in TSS and chlorophyll-a at the sampling stations coupled with typhoon events during the summer rainy period. The abnormal chlorophyll-a concentration was mainly driven by meteorological factors such as typhoon and rainfall in the coastal areas of Jeju and the North Marine Areas of East China Sea. The abnormal high chlorophyll-a concentration at the majority of the coastal stations indicate eutrophication of coastal waters, especially Red tide. The events such as eutrophication and abnormal high chlorophyll-a concentration may potentially influence outbreak of Red Tide, detected with GOCI parameters.

A study on the water pollution of Gumho river by the relationship between physio-chemical conditions and water quality level by phytoplankton was examined at 6 sampling positions during the period from April 21 to August 11, 1982. Examination of physio-chemical water analysis such as temperature, pH, DO, BOD and biological analysis has shown 1. The average for Gumho river was 6.2 - 7.2 of pH, 2.6 - 9.4 mg/l of DO, 28.8 - 122.4 mg/l of BOD. 2. The phytoplankton identification in this survey period showed, Cyanophyceae is 7 genera 13 species, Bacillariophyceae 11 genera 32 species and Chlorophyceae 17 genera 27 species. 3. The results of biological water analysis were as follows: Banyawol was from oligosaprobic to $\beta$-mesosaprobic. Dongchon and Gumdan was from $\alpha$-mesosaprobic to $\beta$-mesosaprobic, 3rd gongdan was from oemesosaprobic to $\beta$-polysaprobic, Paldal was $\beta$-polysaprobic and Gangchang was repolysaprobic. 4. To appear dominant algae there were Microcycstis, Oscillatoria, Anabaena, Melosira, Nitzschia and Synedra.

In this paper, a novel and efficient discretization method of a continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy system is proposed. Because of the highly complex and nonlinear interaction among the subsystems, it is very difficult to develop the discretized version of continuous-tine TS fuzzy system. More precisely, to obtain the suitable discretized version, it is necessary to solve two main problems: to discretize global state equations of the continuous-tine TS fuzzy system and to hold the polytopic structure after the discretization. This paper will show the solution to above two problems. Main key idea is to transforme the sampling period into the intersampling period. Finally, To show the feasibility and the validity of the proposed method, a computer simulation is provided.

Digital current control techniques are an attractive option for DC-DC converters. In this paper, a digital predictive peak current control algorithm is presented for buck converters that allows the inductor current to track the reference current in two switching cycles. This control algorithm predicts the inductor current in a future period by sampling the input voltage, output voltage and inductor current of the current period, which overcomes the problem of hardware periodic delay. Under the premise of ensuring the stability of the system, the response speed is greatly improved. A real-time parameter identification method is also proposed to obtain the precision coefficient of the control algorithm when the inductance is changed. The combination of the two algorithms achieves adaptive tracking of the peak inductor current. The performance of the proposed algorithms is verified using simulations and experimental results. In addition, its performance is compared with that of a conventional proportional-integral (PI) algorithm.
