This paper proposes an algorithm for correcting indirect situations resulting from the wheelchair moving the stairs with wheel-type caterpillar and seat position variable. For analyzing the Yawing movement model, the change of Yaw value was estimated using Roll, Pitch, and Yaw in the driving environment, and it was used as a control variable and the information of the wheel drive controller. The verification confirmed the correction of about 10° of Yawing movement within about 7 seconds. It was confirmed that the angular velocity was reduced by 47.5% in seat position change.

Cordyceps, one of the most valued traditional Chinese medicines, consists of the dried fungus Cordyceps sinensis growing on the larva of caterpillar. It is also known as 'winter-worm and summer-grass' because of its appearance during different seasons. The parasitic complex of the fungus and the caterpillar is found in soil of a prairie at an elevation of 3,500 to 5,000 meters in northwestern part of China. According to Chinese medicinal theory, Cordyceps is used to replenish the kidney and soothe the lung, and indeed many clinical applications have been reported. The natural Cordyceps is rare and expensive on the local market, and therefore, several mycelial strains have been isolated from natural Cordyceps and manufactured in large quantities by fermentation technology, and they are commonly sold as health food products in Orient. The adulterants of Cordyceps are commonly found on the market, and therefore the authentication of these products has to be defined. Having the urgent need from current market, different chemical markers such as nucleoside, ergosterol, mannitol and polysaccharide are being used for quality control of Cordyceps. Unfortunately, these markers are far from optimization, and therefore extensive works are needed to define the pharmacological efficiency of these markers.

Flupyrazofos (O,O-diethyl-O-(1-phenyl-3-trifluoromethyl-5-pyrazoyl)thiophosphoric acid ester) is a new organo-phosphorous insecticide. Flupyrazofos has exhibited excellent activity against diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella, DBM), and it is highly activity against rice armyworm(Pseudaleta separata) and cotton caterpillar(Palpita indicae). Flupyrazofos has then revealed outstanding both rapidity and residual action for DBM, although no systemic actions were observed and no cross-resistances were found to the resistance strains (Op-R, Py-R, IGR-R). Also, susceptibilities of five local strains to flupyrazofos were similar to those of the susceptible strain. These results indicate that flupyrazofos has considerable potential for controlling diamondback moth, rice armyworm and cotton caterpillar in field.

According to abrupt decrese in number of farmer and ageing society, there has been a need for development of low cost agricultural robot. In this paper, a H/W and S/W platform of caterpillar type agricultural chemical dusting robot based on XP embedded system were described. The developed agricultural robot has 2 d.o.f caterpillar type driving wheel and 2 d.o.f chemical dusting spray mechanical system. The H/W platform of the agricultural robot consists of robot controller, remote controller and sensor controller. In S/W platform, 5 processes work concurrently, which are task manager, TCP-IP communication process, localization process, wheel control, and sensor control process. This robot platform has been developed for chemical dusting robot. We proved this system's validity through field test.

The morphological changes of the midgut epithelium during the metamorphosis of pine caterpillar are observed with light and electron microscope, being divided into 5 stages from the 8th instar larva to just after pupation. The midgut epithelium of 8th instar larva is composed of columnar cell, goblet cell, regenerative cell, and endocrine cell. The secretorials are arranged on the nuclear membrane in the columnar cell of the midgut epithelium in the 8th instar larva, and lysosomes are augmented in the apical portion. Cytoplasmic extrusions are observed in the apical surface of columnar cell but they have no cell organells. Nucleus, mitochondria, rER, Golgi complex, and free ribsomes are observed in the regenerative cell. Regenerative cells are differentiated into the form of goblet cell, and vacuoles are gradually increased in the cytoplasm. Just pupa stage, the materials, which appears to be mainly composed of Ca, are observed in the circular form and goblet cavity of regenerative cell are detached to lumen. As a result, it reflects the process of the degeneration of the midgut epithelium that lysosomes are gradually augmented in the columnar cell, that nuclear materials are removed to cytoplasm, and that cytoplasmic extrusions are observed in the apical surface. And though regenerative cells are differentiated into the form of the goblet cell, it is believed that goblet cavity is detached from regenerative cell to the lumen and midgut epithelium of pupa stage is formed.

We investigated the diversity of lepidopteran larvae and their food plants in a 0.1 ha plot at Mt. Jirisan National Park, South Korea. The plant species in the plot were identified, and the lepidopteran larvae that fed on each plant in the plot were collected. Thus, we collected 141 plants of 16 species that belonged to 14 families and 159 lepidopteran larvae of 70 species that belonged to 11 families. Oak (Quercus serrata) was found to be the most favored plant species. Among the 11 lepidopteran families, the species richness and evenness of two families, Geometridae and Noctuidae, were the highest. On the basis of this study, we could assume the interaction between food plants and caterpillars in a temperate forest. Furthermore, we could estimate the species diversity of lepidopteran caterpillars in this temperate forest.

This study conducted observations at 72 traffic lights and road signs in Sejong-si, Korea from March to June 2019 in order to analyze nest-site, nest-site characteristics and feeding behavior in Tree sparrow (Passeer montanus) in urban. Feeding behavior during breeding season in 2019 was investigated at 10 Town representing traffic facilities installed on the road located in the center of the city and 10 Riverside Geumgang river's riverside road. We fitted both general linear model and regression model to our field data and estimated the spatial variation of initial date of the first feeding (i.e., being date of breeding) and the total number of caterpillar fed by parents per hour. Our results showed that the frequency of nest building on artificial structures, such as traffic lights, was about 26% higher and about 8 days earlier in the riverside. In particular, the first feeding was significantly faster when the nearest distance between nest to green field as foraging site was shorter whereas there was no significant effect of the number of nest within 50 meters on the first feeding. Number of caterpillars fed by parents was higher in the Riverside than in the Urban, and especially the number in the second brood was sharply decreased in the Urban. As we estimated average amount of caterpillars per hour to 446 traffic safety facilities in Sejong-si, it was estimated that Tree sparrows fed 18,742.8 caterpillars per hour during the breeding season. In this study, we showed that characteristics of nests built in artificial structures and feeding behavior in order to analyze effects of environmental condition in urban on life-history traits during the breeding season. Finally, we discussed the conservation of birds in urban and pest control effects.
