  • 이 연구에서는 몽골 흡수굴 호수 인근에서 발견되는 설치류(땅다람쥐) 서관 구조의 일반적인 특징을 조사하였다. 설치류 서관 구조는 직선이거나 약하게 휘어진 형태이며 완만하게 경사진 형태롤 보인다. 단면상의 모양은 원형 내지는 타원형이고 지름은 주로 8-10 cm의 크기를 보인다. 버려진 서관 구조들은 대부분 토양이나 자갈에 의해 수동적으로 채워져 있다. 연구 지역에서 관찰되는 서관 구조의 크기와 구조적인 특징들은 이전에 한국에서 보고된 플라이스토세 후기 서관 구조들과 매우 유사하므로 한국에서 발견되었던 서관 구조들도 땅다람쥐과에 의해 형성된 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 서관 구조 충진물의 차이로 판단할 때 당시 한국의 연평균 강수량이 몽골에 비해 훨씬 높았던 것으로 생각된다.

  • The purpose of this research presents a method to position and makes the structure for eco-corridors reasonably with collectable analysing results of various effects shown in mammals' road-kill at 429 points. Target animals of this research are Leopard cat, Siberian weasel, Raccoon dog, Korean hare, Eurasian red squirrel, Siberian chipmunk and Water deer. The results derived from the empirical analysis on the contents above are followed. First, according to the results as for Leopard cat road kill analysis, which is designated as Endangered Species Class II, the eco-corridor might be located at near village having stead food in order to decrease the frequencies of road-kill, because its road kill points were mainly collected at 4 lane hilly road with mountain-road-farm area geological type of. Second, because Siberian weasel's road kill was detected at 2 lane hilly road with mountain-road-stream geological type, the eco-corridor might be located at near a mill to decrease road-kill frequencies. Third, the road-kill frequency of Eurasian red squirrel can be reduced when the eco-corridor is located at the area across coniferous tree near 4 lane west sea freeway with mountain-road-mountain. Fourth, the road-kill of Raccoon dog can be reduced when the eco-corridor is located at 4 lane mountain road or hilly road with the geological type having farm land-road-mountain(stream). Fifth, Korean hare's road-kill can be reduced when the eco-corridor is located at grass land across ridge line of mountain, because wild rabbit road kill was happened at 4 lane mountain road or 2 lane mountain road(mountain-road-mountain). Sixth, As for Siberian chipmunk, the eco-corridor might be located at the side slope of mountain road at 2 lane mountain road under the speed of 60km/h with mountain-road-mountain. Seventh, For Water deer, the eco-corridor might be located at 4 lane hilly road with mountain-road-farm land. As for Common otter, Amur hedgehog, Yellow-throated marten, Weasel, it is difficult to specify the proper site of eco-corridor due to the lack of data. Eco-corridors for carnivores might be well located at 4 lane hilly road or 2 lane hilly road with mountain-road-farm land, and the track for herbivores might be well located as a overhead bridge on mountain-road-mountain type across mountains. In order to position eco-corridors for wildlife properly, we have to research animal's behavior with ecological background, and to consider the local uniqueness and regularly collect the empirical road-kill data in long term 3 to 5 year, which can be the foundation for the more suitable place of wild life eco-corridors.

  • 야생 설치류인 청서 뇌의 줄무늬체에서 neuropeptide Y(NPY) 면역반응신경세포의 분포상태를 관찰하기 위하여 뇌를 4% paraformaldehyde로 관류고정한 전뇌를 $40{\mu}m$의 냉동연속관상절편으로 작성한 후 cresyl violet로 염색하여 전뇌의 각 부분을 구분하고 NPY항체에 대한 면역염색을 실시하였다. 줄무늬체는 속섬유막(internal capsule)보다 앞쪽에서는 꼬리핵(caudate nucleus)과 조가비핵(putamen)이 꼬리-조가 비핵(caudate-putamen)의 한부분으로 구성되어 있는 반면, 속섬유막이 관통하는 부분에서는 꼬리핵, 조가비핵 및 창백핵(globus pallidus)의 세부분으로 구분되었다. 줄무늬체의 NPY면역반응신경세포는 대부분이 중간크기($12-18{\mu}m$)의 세포였다. NPY세포체의 분포는 꼬리-조가비핵과 꼬리핵의 경우에 내측 및 배쪽부분에서 다수 존재하였으며, 조가비핵의 경우는 전체적으로 불규칙하였는데 그중 중심부분이 더욱 적은 수로 관찰되었다. NPY면역반응신경섬유의 밀집도는 전체적으로 낮았으나 반응신경세포체가 많은 부분에서 높은 밀집도를 보였다. 꼬리-조가비핵과 꼬리핵의 경우 내측과 배쪽부분에서 높은 밀집도를 나타내었고 조가비핵의 경우는 불규칙한 밀집도를 보였다. 창백핵에서는 매우 적은 수의 반응섬유들만 관찰되었다. 따라서 청서의 줄무늬체는 꼬리핵, 조가비핵 및 창백핵으로 구분되어 비교적 발달된 구조를 가졌으며, NPY함유 신경세포의 분포형태도 이질성을 나타내는 것으로 보아 줄무늬체의 신경환로가 복잡함을 암시하였다.

  • 한국산 다람쥐 정자의 형태적 특징을 알아보기 위하여 광학현미경과 주사 및 투과 전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 다람쥐 정자머리의 모양은 주걱 모양의 형태를 취하고 있었다. 정자의 전체 길이는 67.8 ${\mu}m$이었으며, 머리의 길이는 7.8 ${\mu}m$, 꼬리는 60.0 ${\mu}m$이었다. 꼬리는 경부(1.0 ${\mu}m$), 중편부(8.0 ${\mu}m$), 주편부(48.5 ${\mu}m$) 그리고 미부(2.5 ${\mu}m$)로 각각 구성되어져 있었다. 특히, 본 연구에서 정자의 중편부도 짧지만 미부의 길이는 다른 설치류 종보다도 매우 짧은 것이 특징적이다. 첨체 후 덮개는 핵의 약 1/5을 점유하고 있으며, 적도절은 핵 상단의 첨체 후 덮개와 첨체 덮개사이에 위치하고 있었다. 9개의 분절주들은 미토콘드리아에 의해 둘러싸여져 있었다. 중편부의 미토콘드리아의 회전수는 26개 이었다. 한 개의 분절주는 10~12개의 마디로 구성되어져 있었으며, 이들 경부의 각각의 분절주는 중편부의 9개의 외측치밀 섬유와 제각기 결합되어 있었다. 특히 경부의 분절주와 분절주 사이에는 수많은 satellite 섬유와 흡사한 물질들이 존재하고 있었다. 중편부의 9개의 외측 치밀 섬유는 Nos. 1, 5, 6의 섬유가 다른 섬유들(2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9) 보다도 크다. 섬유초와 종 지주는 주편부에는 존재하고 있었으며, 미부에는 섬유초와 종 지주는 존재하지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때, 정자두부와 꼬리의 구조적인 특징들은 정자의 진화와 더불어 종을 분류하는데 있어서 매우 중요한 정보를 제공하리라 여겨진다.

  • Till date the phenomenon of maternal transfer of photic information was reported to regulate the fetal/neonatal growth, however its influence on neonatal immune system is still an enigma. In the present study, we observed an increase in maternal plasma melatonin level under short day length (SOL) condition with a consequent decrease in TLC and LC in their respective neonates. However, a significant decrease in maternal plasma melatonin level was noted under constant darkness (DD) with an increase in TLC and LC of their neonates. The blastogenic response (BGR) to Con A of splenocytes exhibited a significant increase in neonates of SDL females and a significant decrease in the neonates of DD females. Hence, it appears that the increase in maternal plasma melatonin under SOL condition transmitted information to decrease the immune status. Continuous exposure of females to darkness (DD) negatively regulated the maternal pineal gland activity thereby decreasing their plasma melatonin level. This information was transmitted for elevation of immune status in neonates, so that they exhibit better growth and sexual maturation. Therefore, we may suggest that the maternal photic information transmitted either prenatally through placenta or postnatally via the milk regulate the hormonal profile of Melatonin to regulate the immune status of neonates in order to influence their growth and sexual maturation.

  • Studies till date suggest the existence of a fetal biological clock in suprachiasmatic nuclei entrained by the circadian signal from mother. Melatonin from maternal pineal gland reaches to the fetus by crossing every biological barrier including placenta, hence fetuses were exposed to similar melatonin variation as their mother. Experimental modulations of maternal pineal gland activity of pregnant females either by exposing the them to different photoperiodic schedules or by exogenous melatonin treatments till the date of parturition, regulated the fetal plasma level of melatonin, thereby the prenatal (fetal) growth and development. This clearly suggests the maternal transport of melatonin to their fetus through placenta since fetal retina-hypothalamic tract was incomplete. An extension of experimental schedules till 60 days of post-partum period regulated the neonatal pineal gland activity and gonadal maturation along with their plasma levels of melatonin and sex steroids suggesting clearly the phenomenon of maternal transfer of melatonin to their young ones during the post-natal period, when the neonates were solely dependent on the mother's milk for their nutrition and energetic demands. On the basis of above observations we may suggest that the maternal pineal gland activity regulate the prenatal development by passing its melatonin to fetus via placenta and post-natal growth and sexual maturation by passing maternal melatonin to neonates via milk. Hence, the photoperiod perceived by mother is translated into the maternal plasma level of melatonin which not only regulates the prenatal but also the post-natal growth and sexual maturation of neonates.

  • This paper presents a novel approach based on the loci of instantaneous symmetrical components called "Wing Shape" which requires the measurement of three input stator currents and voltages to diagnose interturn insulation faults in three phase induction motors operating under different loading conditions. In this methodology, the effect of unbalanced supply conditions, constructional imbalances and measurement errors are also investigated. The sizes of the wings determine the loading on the motor and the travel of the wings while their areas determine the degree of severity of the faults. This approach is also applied to detect open circuit faults or single phasing conditions in induction motors. In order to validate this method, experimental results are presented for a 5 hp squirrel cage induction motor. The proposed technique helps improve the reliability, efficiency, and safety of the motor system and industrial plant. It also allows maintenance to be performed in a more efficient manner, since the course of action can be determined based on the type and severity of the fault.

  • This paper proposes a field weakening control method for operating an induction motor with a variable DC input voltage condition. In the variable DC voltage condition such as a battery, the field weakening method are required for the maximum output power. The conventional field weakening control methods can be used for operating the induction motor over the rated speed in a constant DC-link voltage condition. However, the conventional methods for operating the motor with the variable DC voltage is not suitable for the maximum output power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes the optimized field weakening control method to extend the operating range of the induction motor with a rated power in a limited thermal and a wide DC input voltage conditions. The optimized d-axis and q-axis current equations are derived according to the field weakening region I and II to extend the operating region. The experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • This paper presents the construction and test results of an HTS induction motor. End rings and short bars were made of HTS tapes, To increase the efficiency and starting torque, HTS tapes can be used as the rotor bars. Because large current is induced in the rotor circuit, HTS tapes quench and high starting torque can be obtained. As the speed of rotor builds up. HTS tapes which are used as short bars become superconducting state again. After the HTS tapes recover from quench, resistance of the rotor circuit is nearly zero. In that case, power loss in rotor circuit is eliminated. Stator of the conventional induction motor was used as the stator of the HTS motor. Rated capacity of the conventional motor was 0.75 kW. Performances of the HTS induction motor were compared with those of the conventional motor with same volume and specification. Test result showed that the speeds of the HTS induction motor were the same with synchronous speed up to 2.6 Nm and 1.788 rpm at 9.7 Nm. It guarantees the high efficiency of the HTS motor. Starting torque of the HTS motor was more than twice of the conventional motor.
