If G is any connected graph of order p; then the thorn graph $G_p^*$ with code ($n_1$, $n_2$, ${\cdots}$, $n_p$) is obtained by adding $n_i$ pendent vertices to each $i^{th}$ vertex of G. By treating the pendent edge of a thorn graph as $P_2$, $K_2$, $K_{1,1}$, $K_1{\circ}K_1$ or $P_1{\circ}K_1$, we generalize a thorn graph by replacing $P_2$ by $P_m$, $K_2$ by $K_m$, $K_{1,1}$ by $K_{m,n}$, $K_1{\circ}K_1$ by $K_m{\circ}K_1$ and $P_1{\circ}K_1$ by $P_m{\circ}K_1$ and their respective generalized thorn graphs are denoted by $G_P$, $G_K$, $G_B$, $G_{KK}$ and $G_{PK}$ respectively. Many chemical compounds can be treated as $G_P$, $G_K$, $G_B$, $G_{KK}$ and $G_{PK}$ of some graphs in graph theory. In this paper, we obtain the bounds of the wiener index for these generalization of thorn graphs.

In order to study the content variation of Quercetin and Kaempferol associated with Varieties (with thorn, without thorn), Cultivating Locations, Collecting Seasons, Leaves of Cudrania tricuspidata (carrier) Bureau containing higher content of pharmaceutical components than the other parts were tested after collecting 6 varieties including w or w/o thorn from 4 locations such as Cheongsong, Milyang, Goesan and Gochang at 3 seasons, spring, summer and fall in 2015 and 2016. As a result, Kaempferol content associated with Varieties between with thorn and without thorn, collecting Locations and Years have no difference statistically in their mean values but the differences associated with Seasons were statistically significant. The content was higher at spring and then gradually declined at summer and fall. The content variation in Year 2015 which was higher at spring and lower at summer and then recovered at fall abnormally, shows similar pattern of sunshine variation of the year. The content variation of Quercetin and Kaempferol seems to be come from climate fluctuation specially in Sunshine hours rather than Varieties, Locations. The variation associated with drying methods for utilizing leaves are statically significant. Natural Dry was shown the least variation because heat input while drying makes degradation of the content.

1. The Korean Acanthopanax genus includes 12 kinds consisting of 9 species and 3 forma. 2. The Korean Oga-pi which is on market sale has been used as bark for the medicinal purpose, and Oga-pi shall use Radicis Cortex. That is why it is basic rule that herbalogy shall use Radicis Cortex. 3. The origin of Oga-pi on sale is Acanthopanax sessiliflorum forma chungbunensis C.S. Yook. 4. $C_{HUNG}\;and\;N_AKAI'S}$ report on A. koreanum told us that there are brown hair on the mid-leaf junction, but in addition to it, our investigation was resulted in the fact that there are thorn along mid-rib sometimes. 5. 2 kinds of new forma are similar to A. sessiliflorum, but are different in the view-point of chemotaxonomy, compared with A. sessiliflorum. In its morphology, we can find some difference between 2 kinds of new forma and A. sessiliflorum. Our effort of examination on documents tell us that the all plants growing in the central part of our country is A. sessiliflorum forma chungbunensis C.S. Yook. The one which has thorn on both side among the plants collected in Mt. Dukyu, is called A. sessiliflorum forma nambunensis C.S. Yook. 6. A. sessiliflorum is growing in the southern part in Korea, and most Chungbu Oga-pi A. sessiliflorum forma chungbunensis in the central part of our country. For the convenience of our study, the key of Korean Acanthopanax plant is classified into, I-IV, as shown on the following items: I. No hair on both side of leaf A. Flower stalk is longer than petiole, and there are thorn under the petiole (5-7 stigma).${\cdots}A.\;sieboldianum$. B. Flower stalk is longer than petiole, or same length.

몇 년전 TV에서 강원도 고성군에서 꾸지뽕나무를 농경지에 집단으로 재배하여 그 잎에서 즙을 내여 칼국수를 만드는 것을 보았는데, 또 다른 매체에서는 이 나무를 골목으로 상황버섯을 종균을 접종시켜 재배하면 일반 골목 재배보다 항암 효과가 높은 버섯을 생산한다고 하고, 이 잎을 먹인 누에를 성인병 예방이나 치료약으로 사용하기 위해 최근들어 여기저기서 소득 작목으로 대량재배가 이루어지고 있다. 최근들어 꾸지뽕나무가 치료가 어려운 질병의 치료약으로 혹은 건강식품으로 찾는 이들이 많아졌다.

Six different types of teas from box thorn leaves collected on mid May were prepared by using different tea making procedures. The selected physicochemical propentes and the sensory qualities of the 6 different teas were analyzed. The box thorn leaves contained 87.71% moisture, 0.69% crude fat, 4.77% crude protein, 2.13% fibers, 3.11% carbohydrates and 1.59% ash. Based on the sensory analysis, roasted tea(duckum tea) had the highest values in taste, flavor, color and overall preference. Eighteen free amino acids were identified in the roasted tea, showing the specially high levels of proline(170.15mg%) and glutamic acid(112.34mg%). The roasted tea also contained glucose(1.07%), maltose(0.87%), sucrose(0.63%) and fructose(0.55%). The content of citric acid(337.43mg%) in the roasted tea was the highest, followed by malonic acid(54.17mg%), oxalic acid(48.66mg%), malic acid(27.41mg%), succinic acid(4.48mg%), fumaric acid(1.08mg%) and lactic acid(trace amount), in a decreasing order.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern hybridization analyses were carried out to identify clones of silk worm thorn (Cudraria tricuspidata) and Rose of sharon (Hibiscus syriacus) which look like one tree with two ar three, branches or two or three different trees. For PCR five different PCR primers $(17{\sim}24\;nucleotides)$ are derived from CaMV 35S promoter, nopaline synthase terminator and coding region of thylakoid membrane protein gene. In the case of silk worm thorn, about 500 bp of PCR product was produced from DNAs of one tree or branch in the presence of 35S primer alone. Southern hybridization analysis of genomic DNAs hybridized with $^{32}P$ labeled PCR product showed that the same size of DNA fragments were hybridized with different intensities. In addition, PCR analyses using 20 different primers of OPERON 10-mer kits showed that only OPA01 primer produced PCR products of different size. These results indicate that two different trees of silk worm thorn combined to one tree. In the case of the Rose of Sharon, the same size of PCR products were produced from three different samples but Southern hybridization with the above PCR product as a probe did not show any hybridized bands. PCR analyses in the presence of OPERON 10-mers showed OPA04 and OPA13 produced different products including same sizes of products. These, results indicate that three different trees of the Rose of Sharon seem to be derived from the tree.

We surveyed branches of acacia trees distributed nationally in Korea to establish a common survey method that can be used by investigators to monitor for over-wintering Metcalfa pruinosa eggs. A total of 189 samples was examined, and the number of eggs on the surfaces of the branches, bases of thorns and bases of twigs was recored. When including samples in which no eggs were found at all investigation sites, none of the data followed the normal distribution. However, when samples in which no eggs were found at all sites were exclued, the density of eggs investigated at the thorn bases and twig bases followed the normal distribution. When the density of eggs was sorted based on the thickness of the branches on which they were found, these data did not follow the normal distribution. The density of M. pruinosa eggs at the thorn bases and twig bases was significantly higher than that on the branch surfaces, but there was no significant difference among branches of different thicknesses. Therefore, monitoring for M. pruinosa eggs at the thorn bases and twig bases of the nationally distributed acacia tree, irrespective of the thickness of the branches, will be able to increase the precision with which the density of this insect's eggs could be estimated. It is thus expected that this method will contribute to developing methods to better characterize the distribution and predict the occurrence of this.

Objective: The potential of aqueous extract of Christ's thorn jujube (Ziziphus spina-christi) leaves (SLAE) to reduce the negative impacts of heat stress on production performance and physiological traits was investigated in dual-purpose layers under subtropical farming. Methods: A total of 200, 25-week-old laying hens (Inshas strain) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments including SLAE at 0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mL/kg, respectively. The average temperature-humidity index value was 26.69 during the experimental period. The SLAE contained saponin (0.045%), total flavonoid content of 17.9 mg of quercetin equivalent/100 g and overall antioxidant capacity concentration of 17.9 mg of ascorbic acid equivalent/100 g. Results: The maximum final body weight (BW), BW gain, egg weight, number, and mass occurred at the level of SLAE7.5 inclusion. The egg quality was significantly higher in SLAE groups than in control, and overall, SLAE7.5 had the most favorable influence at 28 and 32 weeks. Liver and kidney function, as well as lipids profile, improved significantly by SLAE inclusion; the lowest concentrations of these parameters were in SLAE7.5 hens. Treatment with SLAE7.5 increased total antioxidant capacity and endogenous antioxidant enzymes compared to control, whereas no effect on superoxide dismutase was noticed. Conclusion: The addition of SLAE at 7.5 mL/kg diet improved egg laying performance and quality, metabolic profiles, and antioxidant status during hyperthermia conditions.

Coverage has been a constant thorn in the side of deployed deep linguistic processing applications, largely because of the difficulty in constructing, maintaining and domaintuning the complex lexicons that they rely on. This paper reviews various strands of research on deep lexical acquisition (DLA), i.e. the (semi-)automatic creation of linguistically-rich language resources, particularly from the viewpoint of DLA for precision grammars.

Korean native Orostachys species collected from 22 regions investigated morphological characters.O. japonicus species(No.3∼No.9) were similar leaf morphology and characterized by lanceolate leaves, cuspidate leaf apex.O. malacophyllus species(No.12∼No. 17) were morphologically characterized by obovate leaves and acute leaf apex. This species could be differentiate from other species by no thorn and leaf outlines formed by densely populated red dots.O. iwarenge species(No.18∼No.22) were diversified, such as obovate and elliptical leaves with acute, obtuse and round leaf apices. However, this species could be differentiate from other species bl'no thorn and grey powdery green colored leaves. Species collected from Maemuldo(No. 10) and Pocheon(No. 11) was assumed that these 2 species could be the new species which were not named classified.
