In this experiment, gene actions were analysized for seven barley parents in order to obtain basic information on their genetic improvement by diallel crosses. The results obtained were summarized as follows. In analysis of variance, additive, dominant, maternal and reciprocal effects were observed significantly for culm length, tiller number, number of spiked per plant, culm diameter, awn length, leaf width, number of grains per spike, and 1000 grain weight. Over-dominance was shown by Vr-Wr graphic analysis in five characters such as tiller number, number of spikes per plant, length of flag leaf, number of grains per spike, and 1000 grain weight, and partial dominance in four characters such as culm length, culm diameter, awn length, and leaf width. Component of genetic varience analyzed for four characters such as culm diameter, awn length, length of flag leaf, and leaf width showed that additive effects were higher than dominant effects. Culm length, tiller number, number of spikes per plant, number of grains per spike, and 1000 grain weight showed dominant effects higher than additive effects. The narrow-sense heritability for awn length, leaf width, and number of grains per spike showed high values as more than 0.62, while broad-sense heritability for culm length, number of spikes per plant, culm diameter, awn length, leaf width, number of grains per spike, and 1000 grain weight showed high values as more than 0.65.

We present recent data of absolute measurements of flux emmitted in the visible continua of some galactic Wolf-Rayet stars, carried out by means of a two-channel scanner built up cooperatively by the Observatoire de Lyon and the Laboratoire d'Astronomie Spatiale. Our measurements lead to the determination of stellar angular diameters which enable us to compute log $L_*/L_{\odot}$ and to locate the WR stars in the HR diagram: The WR stars are cooler than the zero age main sequence (ZAMS) and the WN7, WN8 types appear more luminous than other subclasses. The stellar wind terminal velocities, $V_{\infty}$, deduced from the empirical relation of the effective temperatures by Underhil1(1983) and $V_{\infty}$ adopted from the work of Willis(1982) show about 2,000km/s. We derived the rate of mass loss for the program stars from the formula, $\dot{M}={\varepsilon}(T_{eff})\;L/V_{\infty}{\cdot}c$ by using the obtained effective temperatures, luminosities and $V_{\infty}$ in this work. Their values range from $\dot{M}=1.4{\times}10^{-5}$ to $\dot{M}=5.8{\times}10^{-5}\;\dot{M}_{\odot}/yr$.

With the steady growth of mobile technology and applications, demand for more storage in mobile devices has also increased. A lightweight block-level protocol, Internet Advanced Technology Attachment (iATA), has been developed to deliver a cost-effective storage network solution for mobile devices to obtain more storage. This paper seeks to contribute to designing and implementing Load Balancing (LB), Network Monitoring (NM) and Write Replication (WR) modules to improve the protocol's scalability and data availability. LB and NM modules are invoked to collect system resources states and current network status at each associate node (server machine). A dynamic weight factor is calculated based on the collected information and sent to a referral server. The referral server is responsible to analyze and allocate the most ideal node with the least weight to serve the client. With this approach, the client can avoid connecting to a heavily loaded node that may cause delays in subsequent in-band I/O operations. Write replication is applied to the remaining nodes through a WR module by utilizing the Unison file synchronization program. A client initially connected to node IP A for write operations will have no hindrances in executing the relevant read operations at node IP B in new connections. In the worst case scenario of a node crashing, data remain recoverable from other functioning nodes. We have conducted several benchmark tests and our results are evaluated and verified in a later section.

This paper presents the design and fabrication of waveguide E-plane metal insert bandpass filter for milli-meter waves which is analyzed transmission characteristics by calculating the generalized scattering matrix using mode-matching method. The bandpass filter was fabricated to verify the proposed method by the WR-34 rectangular waveguide to operate in 30.085 ~ 30.885 GHz. The fabricated waveguide E-plane metal insert band- pass filter was established the fact that it is so adaptive for milli-meter waves due to the measured data closely consistent with the results of analysis using mode-matching method, that is, the maximum value of insertion loss is 0.8 dB and the return loss is below -15 dB.

Axial type 가상음극발진기를 이용하여 전극의 기하학적 구조와 고출력 마이크로파의 출력 특성을 분석하고, 최대 파워의 조건에 대한 전자기기 효과를 알아보았다. 고출력 마이크로파 발생 장치인 Vircator는 강렬한 상대론적 전자빔 발생장치로 최대전압 600 kV, 최대전류 88 kA, 펄스폭 60 ns의 특성을 가진다. Anode와 cathode의 간격은 4 mm로 최적화 하였고, 이 조건에서 마이크로파의 출력 특성을 분석하여 보았을 때 WR-137 수신안테나에서 최대 출력143 MW와 5.4 GHz의 진동수를 측정하였다. 출력 효율을 증가시키기 위해서 도파관 중앙에 폭이 10 mm인 반사판을 사용하였고, 그 결과 반사판이 공진구조에 기여하여 정상파(standing wave)를 형성하여 마이크로파 출력 효율 향상하여 WR-137에서 최대 549 MW의 출력을 보였다. 향상된 마이크로파의 출력을 이용하여 각도와 거리를 변화해 가며 컴퓨터와 전자소자로 제작된 회로에 대해 전자기기 효과 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 컴퓨터의 경우 $0^{\circ}$ 1 m에서 hard kill 상태가 되었다. 전자소자 회로의 경우는 $0^{\circ}$ 30 cm에서 hard kill의 상태로 되었다. 또한 면적 대비 출력 파워로 비교 했을 경우 약 $0.484\;{\mu}J$의 마이크로파의 영향임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Banana planting altered microbial communities and induced the enrichment of Fusarium oxysporum in rhizosphere compared with that of forest soil. Diseased plant rhizosphere soil (WR) harbored increased pathogen abundance and showed distinct microbial structures from healthy plant rhizosphere soil (HR). The enriched taxon of Bordetella and key taxon of Chaetomium together with some other taxa showed negative associations with pathogen in HR, indicating their importance in pathogen inhibition. Furthermore, a more stable microbiota was observed in HR than in WR. Taken together, the lower pathogen abundance, specific beneficial microbial taxa and stable microbiota contributed to disease suppression.

Retrogradation of non-waxy rice (NWR) and waxy rice (WR) cakes (45% moisture) stored at 5$^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$ and -2$0^{\circ}C$ was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and enzymatic ($\beta$-amylase-puuulanase) method. With DSC, endotherms did not appear with rice cakes stored at room ($25^{\circ}C$) and deep freezing (-2$0^{\circ}C$) temperatures but did with samples stored at low temperature (5$^{\circ}C$), showing accelerated retrogradation by low temperature. Onset temperature (To) and peak temperature (Tp) did not change under 14 days at 5$^{\circ}C$ but enthalpy values ($\Delta$H) increased rapidly within one day and increased steadily until 5th day of storage, then equilibrated. Higher $\Delta$H were obtained with WR cakes than NWR cakes. It was suggested that more amylopectin recrystallization occured with WR than NWR. Degrees of gelatinization of rice cakes determined by enzymatic method increased in the following order: 5$^{\circ}C$ < $25^{\circ}C$ < -2$0^{\circ}C$. In contrast with DSC results, dogrees of gelatinization of NWR cakes, were relatively lower than that of WR cakes. However, increased retrogradation extents (melting enthalpies) caused reduced enzyme susceptibilities to $\beta$-amylase-pullulanase system, among NWR or WR cakes stored at 5$^{\circ}C$. The degrees of retrogradation of rice cakes stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ were higher than those stored at $25^{\circ}C$ and -2$0^{\circ}C$ without regard to the kind of rice. The higher sensitivity of the enzymatic method was obtained than that of DSC method when the degrees of retrogradation of rice cakes were determined during storage under this experiment conditions.

It has been well known that the renal cortical blood flow rate was much higher than that of the medulla and the renal blood flow distribution was affected by hemorrhage, volume expansion or salt-loading. The existance of the heterogeneities of glomerular filtration rate and nephron has also been reported. In order to understand the regulations and physiological roles of the heterogeneities, studies on the intrarenal renin-angiotensin system have been focused. Although it is well known that the granularity of iuxtaglomerular cells and renal renin content are more marked in superficial than in the deep glomeruli, their physiological significance is not quite clear. This study was therefore undertaken to clarify changes in renin response and isoelectric ronin profile to TMB-8 in outer, mid and inner cotices of normotensive and hypertensive rats. The basal rate of renin release was highest in outer cortex of Sprague-Dawley rat (SDR), Wistar rat (WR) and spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). The basal renin release from outer and inner cortex of SHR was significantly lower than that from those of SDR. The reponse of renin release to TM8-8 was highest in mid cortex and the increase of renin release in response to TMB-8 from inner cortex of SDR was significantly higher than that in SHR. In dehydrated rats, the basal renin release from renal cortical slices of SDR was increased but that from WR and SHR was not. The response of renin release to TMB-8 from mid and inner cortex of dehydrated WR tended to increase. In dehyrated SHR, increase of renin release from inner cortex was significantly higher than that in euhydrated SHR. No significant differences in the isoelectric renin profile were found both in different cortical areas and strains. In dehydrated rats, the percentage of renin form 2 was decreased and those of renin form 5 and 6 were increased. These results suggest that the heterogeneity of renin release from cortical area of euhydrated and dehydrated rats in response to TMB-8 may be related to the changes of renal blood flow and/or calcium metabolism in cortical area. These data also suggest that the renin forms with different isoelectric points may have an physiological significance.

Objective : This experimental study was designed to determine the effects of BPT on obesity in vivo and in vitro. Methods : in vitro, BPTn extracts of various concentration(50, 100, 200 ${\mu}g/m{\ell}$) were added in 3T3-L1 cell. Adipocyte differentiation was measured by Oil Red O staining and Morphological examination. The expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\gamma}$ receptor was measured by western blot assay and RT-PCR in vivo, Rats were orally administered BPT daily for consecutive four weeks before poloxamer-407 induced hyperlipidemic state. The rats were sacrificed 24 hrs later for poloxamer-407 treated and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol were measured ; Rats were orally administered BPT daily for consecutive four weeks before triton WR-1339 induced hyperlipidemic state. The rats were sacrificed 40 hrs later for triton WR-1339 treated and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol were measured ; Rats with obesity were induced by the high fat-diet for six weeks and then serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, hydroxy radical, superoxide dismuatse activity were measured. Results : In vitro, The 3T3-L1 cells' differentiation was significantly decreased by BPT. The expression of $C/EBP{\alpha}$ and $C/EBP{\beta}$ was decreased by BPT. In vivo, BPT significantly reduced serum triglyceride, total cholesterol contents in poloxamer-407 treated rat. BPT significantly reduced serum triglyceride contents in Triton WR-1339 treated rat. Total cholesterol also reduced but did not show a significant change. BPT significantly reduced body weight gain of rat and adipose tissue mass of rats and serum triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol contents and significantly increased HDL-cholesterol, HTR(HDL-cholesterol/Total-cholesterol) in rats with obesity induced by the high fat-diet. BPT reduced blood lipid peroxide, hydroxy radical and increased superoxide dismuatse(SOD) activity.

Okamoto cavity was modified to generate high power (2.45 GHz, 2 kW) He, N2 and Ar plasmas with WR-340 waveguide. Many factors which influence to the plasma generation were optimized and investigated for the spectroscopic properties of the He plasma generated. Some of the important factors are the diameter of the inner conductor, the distance between the inner and outer conductors and the distance between the tip of the inner conductor and the torch. After optimization for the He, two torches (a commercial mini torch for ICP and a tangential flow torch made locally) were compared and showed similar results for the helium plasma gas flow of 25 L/min~30 L/min. A tall torch (extended) was used to block the air in-flow and reduced the background intensity at 340 nm region (NH band). Emission intensity was measured for determination of halogen element in the aqueous solution with power and carrier gas flow rate. Electron number density and the excitation temperature were on the order of $3.67{\times}10^{11}/cm^3$ and 4,350 K, respectively. These values are similar or a bit smaller than other microwave plasmas. It has been possible to analyze aqueous samples. The detection limit for Cl (479.45 nm) was obtained to be 116 mg/L and needs analytical optimization for the better performance.
