  • Advertisements create the illusion about the ideal body utilizing body beauty as well as come to influence in formation of the social beauty standard. Commodity advertisements using the body have been considered as the most effective advertisement method because of the fluidity and the dynamic, which are understood as organic body's characteristics. Especially, advertisement strategies utilizing body painting draw customer's attention because of the properties liberally performed on the living body. This thesis attends to study on the J. Deleuze's 'becoming' Phenomenon expressed in body painting, and to analyze about the body becomes fashion and commodity and is positively utilized as effective advertisement tools. J. Deleuze's 'becoming' Phenomenon expressed in advertisement utilized body which painting is classified as follows as; becoming fashion of the body, becoming commodity of the body, becoming advertisement sign board of the body, becoming animals and plants of the body, and becoming image of the body. The result of this study on the J. Deleuze's 'becoming' Phenomenon expressed in advertisements utilizing body painting shows multiple commodity's characteristics in order to satisfy with customer's various anxieties being changed continuously, and represents the characteristics of 21C advertisements utilizing the body being changed any other thing. Consequently, this thesis is aimed at new consideration about the body beauty, which has been extended to other sphere.

  • Human-induced soil salinity is becoming a major threat to agriculture across the world. This salinisation occurs in both irrigated and rain-fed agricultural zones with the highest proportions in the arid and semi-arid environments. Livestock can play an important role in the management and rehabilitation of this land. There are a range of plants that grow in saline soils and these have been used as animal feed. In many situations, animal production has been poor as a result of low edible biomass production, low nutritive value, depressed appetite, or a reduction in efficiency of energy use. Feeding systems are proposed that maximise the feeding value of plants growing on saline land and integrate their use with other feed resources available within mixed livestock and crop farming systems. Salt-tolerant pastures, particularly the chenopod shrubs, have moderate digestible energy and high crude protein. For this reason they represent a good supplement for poor quality pastures and crop residues. The use of salt-tolerant pasture systems not only provides feed for livestock but also may act as a bio-drain to lower saline water tables and improve the soil for growth of alternative less salt tolerant plants. In the longer term there are opportunities to identify and select more appropriate plants and animals for saline agriculture.

  • Forages are the most important feed resource for ruminants worldwide, whether fed as pastures, forage crops or conserved hay, silage or haylage. There is large variability in the quality of forages so measurement and prediction of feeding value and nutritive value are essential for high levels of production. Within a commercial animal production system, methods of prediction must be inexpensive and rapid. At least 50% of the variation in feeding value of forages is due to variation in voluntary feed intake. Identification of the factors that constrain voluntary feed intake allows these differences to be managed and exploited in forage selection. Constraints to intake have been predicted using combinations of metabolic and physical factors within the animal while simple measurements such as the energy required to shear the plant material are related to constraints to intake with some plant material. Animals respond to both pre- and post-ingestive feedback signals from forages. Pre-ingestive signals may play a role in intake with signals including taste, odour and texture together with learned aversions to nutrients or toxins (post-ingestive feedback signals). The challenge to forage evaluation is identification of the factors which are most important contributors to these feedback signals. Empirical models incorporating chemical composition are also widely used. The models tend to be useful within the ranges of the datasets used in their development but none can claim to have universal application. Mechanistic models are becoming increasingly complex and sophisticated and incorporate both feed characteristics and use of biochemical pathways within the animal. Improvement in utilisation through the deliberate selection of pasture plants for high feeding value appears to have potential and has been poorly exploited. Use of Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy is a simple method that offers significant potential for the preliminary screening of plants with genetic differences in feeding value. Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy will only be as reliable as the calibration sets from which the equations are generated.

  • Korea is a nation with poor natural resources. There is a greats need to save resources that are running out in fast face. The purpose of this thesis is to bind the means to save rosources in housing site, especially in highrise apartment. The reason why the high-rise apartments are chosen as a case is 7hat the high-rise is becoming the major form of dwelling in most urban areas. As a tool of saving the ecological way is chosen because ecological energy is free, clean and unlimited. The resources to be saved are divided into two categories, namely energy and non - energy resources as water, land and food. The contents of the thesis are comprised of 4 chapters. The early chaspters are devoted to the understanding of the ecosystem and problems of current energy consumption in the apartment. It is fellowed by the introduction of the hypothesis that can possibly save reouruces. The hypothesis are then transformed into the actual theories through verification, to be established as the new techniques of the site planning. The ecosystem is the functional relationship between the living organisms and their physical surroundings. The living organisms are the plants that produce, animals that consume and bacterias that decompose. They live in the environment which consists of the three worlds of atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere. The whole system is activated by the solar energy that turns the inorganic mallet- into the living organism and back to the inorganic. It is the recycling principle of the ecosystem. The elements of ecosystem that fan be unilimited as the tools of resources -saving are the sun, wind, water, soil, plant and waste. They are unlimited sources of energy. free of pollution and cheap in price. Each of these ecological elements Provide the opportunities that can save the heating fuel, air conditioning energy, water resource, land and food. The ecological approch should be pursued actively in this age of short resources and growing pollution. In the scale of total energy consumption the housing takes the second position next to the industrial use. It is followed by the transportation which shows for less consumption than former two.

  • Although gut microbial functions have been analyzed through cultivation of isolated microbes, molecular analysis without cultivation is becoming a popular approach in recent years. Gene cloning studies have partially revealed the mechanisms involved in fiber digestion of individual microbe. The molecular approach finally made it possible to analyze full genomes of the representative rumen cellulolytic bacteria Fibrobacter and Ruminococcus. The coming database may contain useful information such as regulation of gene expression relating to fiber digestion. Meanwhile, unculturable bacteria are still poorly characterized, even though they are main constituents of gut microbial ecosystem. The molecular analysis is essential to initiating the studies on these unculturable bacteria. The studies dealing with rumen and large intestine are revealing considerable complexity of the microbial ecosystems with many undescribed bacteria. These bacteria are being highlighted as possibly functional members contributing to feed digestion. Manipulation of gut bacteria and gut ecology for improving animal production is still at challenging stage. Bacteria newly introduced in the rumen, whether they are genetically modified or not, suffer from poor survival. In one of these attempts, Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens expressing a foreign dehalogenase was successfully established in sheep rumen to prevent fluoroacetate poisoning. This expands choice of forages in tropics, since many tropic plants are known to contain the toxic fluoroacetate. This example may promise the possible application of molecular breeding of gut bacteria to the host animals with significance in their health and nutrition. When inoculation strategies for such foreign bacteria are considered, it is obvious that we should have more detailed information of the gut microbial ecology.

  • In these days, we come across a growing interest in animals from various perspectives. Considering that the posthumanistic point of view forms the major stream of postmodern humanities, ethics and philosophies, this paper tries to study the liminality between human beings and animal as appear in postmodern plays. The cases of a middle-aged architect falling in love with a goat (The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? by Edward Albee); An abandoned (human-)dog that encounters his old mistress under the moonlight (A leaseholder by Yoon Young-sun); Coexistence of men, dog, plants in a Country life (White Cherry by Bae Sam-sik); A Mutual sympathy between a swarm of bees and a woman dying of cancer(Bee by Bae Sam-sik) were discussed referring such concepts as 'Otherness' of Derrida, 'Becoming'of Deleuze, 'a bare life' of Agamben and ecological co-existence. In The Goat, the moment of Martin who happened to meet a goat's eyes in a suburbs can be paralleled with that of Derrida who one day found himself caught up with the gaze of a cat in the bathroom while he was naked. They shared the common experience in that they went through the ontological and mysterious abyss that rendered them to raise the question of "Who am I ?" In A leaseholder, a young woman returns to her hometown exhausted by the calculating human society and meet her old time (human-dog). This story reminds us of Agamben's werewolf, Levinas's dog Bobby and Derrida's Zootobiography. He, an abandoned pet, both excluded and included from human society, now appearing as a mysterious human-dog, welcomes, embraces, and comprehends his old mistress and exposes his individual remorses and passions as an animal-subject. In White Cherry, the author describes the coexistence of all the life-beings such as an old dog, a golden bell tree, the deceased daughter and even a fossil remains in a country life. Bee is a story of a beekeeping village where bees were leaving and disappearing. A swam of bees fly down on a woman who was dying of cancer. With physical and spiritual empathy the dying woman helps the swarm of bee to conduct a new birth and a new life.

  • Natural Monument is a designated cultural property as part of the country. According to Article 2 of the Cultural Properties Protection Act, a national, ethnic and global heritage artificially or naturally formed, with a great historical, artistic, scientific and landscape significance is defined as a cultural heritage. Animals, plants, topography, geology, minerals, caves, biological products and special natural phenomena, having a great of historic, scenic and scientific value, are defined as the monument. According to Article 3 of Cultural Properties Protection Act, the conservation, management and utilization of National Heritage should be kept intact in its original form. So, Natural monuments are managing as retained its original form under the Basic Principles of current law. The highest population of coniferous tree in natural monument plant is ginkgo tree including 22 objects, followed by pines, junipers that order. And in case of broadleaf tree, there are zelkova trees, retusa fringe trees, pagoda trees, cork oaks, silver magnolias and etc. There are many of reported efficacy in available natural monument plants. The efficacy of plant species on pharmaceutical like anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, antioxidant activity, neuroprotective, improves cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, liver protection and anti-bacterial efficacy, on cosmetics and beauty like the inhibiting formation of skin wrinkles, whitening effect, variety of materials and the efficacy of the proposed utilization of its various papers and etc have been widely reported. Before the Nagoya Protocol enters into force, the future role of the National Research Institute for Cultural Properties Administration of Cultural Heritage should be obtain a legal right to manage the social, cultural and national natural monument with emotional value to the plant genetic resource as a natural monument efficient ways to study and preserve traditional knowledge biological resources by securing a claim to the sovereignty of the material will be ready.

  • The currently existing "Bonchojeonghwa (本草精華)" is a manuscript without the preface and the epilogue, composed of 2 books in 2 volumes. This book is a quintessence of knowledge on science of medicinal ingredients (medicinal phytology I herbal science) as well as an trial of new development in Chosun medical science. I.e. this book includes surprising change representing medical science in Chosun dynasty as a single publication on science of medicinal ingredients. It holds a value essential to clinician as a specialized book in medicinal ingredients, and Includes richer content on medicinal ingredients than any other books published before. In addition, it is away from boring list-up of superfluous knowledge as seen in "Bonchokangmok(本草綱目)" published in China, and well summarizes essential knowledge which can be used within a range of medicines available in Korea. This book has an outstanding structure that can be even used in today's textbook on science of medicinal ingredients, as it has clear theory, system and classification. Because it handles essential learning points prior to prescription to disease, it is possible to configure new prescription and adjustment of medicinal materials. Moreover, this book can play a good role for linguistic study at the time of publication, because it describes many drugs in Hangul in many parts of the book. "Bonchojeonghwa" includes a variety of animals, plants and mineral resources in Korea, like "Bonchokangmok" which was recently listed in UNESCO. As such, it has a significance in natural history as well as pharmacy in Korean Medicine. It has various academic relationships all in biologic & abiologic aspects. It has importance in sharing future biological resources, building up international potential, setting up the standard for biologic species under IMF system, and becoming a base for resource diplomacy. We should not only see it as a book on medicinal ingredients in terms of Oriental Medicine, but also make an prudent approach to it in terms of study strengthening Korea's national competitiveness. After bibliographical reviewing on the features & characteristics of the only existing copy of "Bonchojeonghwa" housed in Kyujanggak(奎章閣) of Seoul National University, the followings are noted. First, "Bonchojeonghwa" is a specialized book on medicinal ingredients voluntarily made by private hands to distribute knowledge on drugs in the desolate situation after Imjinoeran (Japanese Invasion in 1592), without waiting for governmental help. Second, it raised accessibility and practicality by new editing. Third, it classified 990 different kinds of drugs into plant, animal, and mineral at large, and dassified more in detail into 15 'Bu' and 48 'Ryu' at 258 pages. Fourth, the publication of this book is estimated to be around 1625~1633, at the time of Injo's reign in 17th century. Fifth, it contains the existing & up-to-date knowledge at the time of publication, and it is possible to see the supply-demand situation by Hangul descriptions in 149 places in the book. By the fact that there are many linguistic evidences of 17th century, explains well when the book was published.

  • 최근 환경부의 야생동 식물법의 멸종위기 야생식물I급과 II급에 해당하는 종들은 멸종이라는 용어를 사용하면서 국내(남한)에 분포하는 자료나 빈도를 중심으로 취합한 자료로서, 전세계적으로 감소 추세 및 위협요인에 대한 정보가 없거나 반영하지 않은 경우이다. 본 연구는 전세계 범주에서 IUCN 적색목록의 정확한 범주(category)와 평가기준(criteria)으로 64종에 대한 평가를 실시하여 4개 유형(Groups I-IV)으로 나누었다. 동북아사이에 매우 넓게 분포하면서 우리나라 일부 집단에서만 발견되는 분류군으로서 멸종과는 전혀 관련이 없는 종(Group I, 28종, 43.8%), 일본이나 중국에서 희귀식물로 판정하여 국지적으로는 멸절위기에 있지만 다른 국가에서는 매우 흔하게 분포하거나 혹은 멸종 위협이 낮은 분류군(Group II, 5종, 7.83 %), 우리나라에만 분포하면서 집단내에서 개체수가 감소하거나 집단이 환경적 요인에 의해 위협을 받고 있는 진정한 멸종위협 식물로 판정되는 식물(Group III, 15종, 23.4%), 현재 알려진 정보에 의하면 우리나라에서도 멸절위험이 있을 뿐만 아니라 중국, 러시아 등지에서도 희귀해서 전세계적 수준에서 IUCN 평가를 통해 IUCN 적색목록에 등재될 가능성이 있는 분류군 (Group IV, 16종, 25.0%)등으로 확인되었다. 이중 적색목록에 의해 평가한 15종 (Group III)중 5종은 CR, 3종은 EN, 4종은 UV, 3종은 DD로 평가되었고, Group IV의 16종은 DD로 평가하였다. 따라서, 환경부의 멸종위기 식물 I과 II등급중 약 33종(Group I+ II)은 최소한 등재 목록에서 제외하는 것이 바람직하다. 이런 문제점은 목록을 작성한후 국가적으로 기초 자료 수집 단계에 대한 정책의 일관성이 없고, 또한, 목록화에 대한 이의제기에 의한 재평가 제도가 없어 정책의 과학적 진보와 수정을 원천적으로 차단하는 닫힌 정책이 원인이다. 따라서 현재 환경부에서는 목록을 새로 정비할 필요가 있으며, 이런 목록을 수정하는 과정에서 전세계 수준에서 멸종위기 식물을 목록화가 필요하다. 특히, 목록 작업이 완성되면 해당 분류군에 대한 기본적인 자료 수집과 장단기 조사과정으로서, 해당 분류군에 대한 멸종위협 요인을 수집하고, 이 자료를 근간으로 정량적으로 IUCN 적색목록 평가방식이 추진할 필요가 있다.

  • 본 연구는 국내 구곡 중 선유동구곡과 함께 신선 사상적 색채가 가장 농후한 충북 괴산 갈은구곡을 중심으로 제명에 깃든 상징성과 구곡시에 나타난 경관적 특징을 선도적 관점에서 풀이하였다. 아울러 구곡문화경관의 이해와 홍보에 부합되도록 갈은구곡의 서사구조를 정리하고 주축(主軸) 이야기의 전달을 위한 경관스토리보드를 제시하였다. 갈은구곡 각 곡의 명칭이나 주변의 각자 그리고 인근 선유동구곡의 경물들과 상호 비교를 통한 갈은구곡 장소와 경관의 의미를 분석 해석한 결과, 신선과 관련된 경물과 고사에는 선계 동경과 불로장생의 염원이 깃들어 있다. 이는 궁극적으로 신과 인간 그리고 자연이 하나로 어울려 조화를 이루어야 한다는 선인합일(仙人合一)의 상징적 표현으로 보인다. 특히 이곳에는 식물류의 불변성과 동물류의 신령성 그리고 그 배경을 구성하는 자연물의 항상성(恒常性)을 바탕으로 한 장수길상(長壽吉祥)의 의식이 강하게 내재되어 있다. 또한 특징적으로 시각적 종점(visual terminal)에 설정된 9곡 선국암은 바둑이 신선의 도락(道樂)임을 여실히 반영하고 있으며, 이는 바둑9품계의 위계를 상징적으로 묘사하고 있다. 따라서 갈은구곡은 풍류나 도학의 성취수단으로서 보다는 신선사상과 관련된 선도적 발상과 신선 관련 모티프 즉 장생과 불사, 신령성, 신선놀음 등의 결속구조로 이루어지고 있음을 볼 때, 갈은구곡에는 선계지향 및 장생불사와 은일의 정취가 매우 강하게 나타나고 있다. 이에 준거한 공간 이야기구조는 '신선의 세계로 들어섬(기(起))'-'신선의 세계가 펼쳐짐(승(承))'-'신선과 함께 함(전(轉))'-'신선이 됨(결(結))'으로 전개 해석되었다. 최종적으로 표층구조에서 읽혀지는 갈은구곡의 경관이미지는 계류의 환경지원성을 바탕으로 이곳에 깃든 수경관의 선경적 아름다움과 구곡동천의 선취(仙趣)적 공간미를 속성으로 하고 있으며, 심층구조로는 바둑 9품계의 '입신(入神)공간'으로 수직 상승하는 서사구조로 정리하였다. 이를 바탕으로 강선(降仙)-선경(仙境)-선약(仙藥)-선학(仙鶴)-선유(仙遊)-은선(隱仙)의 6개의 장면(cut)을 주제로 한 갈은구곡의 경관스토리보드를 제시하였다. 선도적 신선사상을 대변하는 장생불사의 신선은 현대 조경의 주요 경관연출 모티프가 될 것이 자명하다. 자연의 불변성과 신령성 그리고 이와 같은 특성을 지원해 줄 수 있는 주변 산수경관의 항상성이야말로 한국적 조경설계에서 담아야 할 가장 중요한 가치가 아닐 수 없다.
