Mullitization in a multicomponent oxide system(alumina-kaolin-quartz-feldspar-talc) was studied as a function of sintering temperature from 1200 to 1500$^{\circ}C$ based upon a quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis. In the present study mullite grew as wiskers and its formation reaction showed characteristic there stages as follows In the first stage(1255-1295$^{\circ}C$) an appreciable mullitization(nucleation) occurred while corun-dum dissolution into glass (increasing glass content ) limited the rate of the reaction. At 1295-1335$^{\circ}C$ (second state) the reaction was significantly enhanced with a considerable glass consumption and with no appreciable change in corundum content. Finally (above 1335$^{\circ}C$) the reaction rate was attenuated re-markably with an apparent decrease in glass consumption rate. The impingement of mullite whiskers by oth-er whiskers and crystals was speculated to cause mullite growth in thickness direction with a slow growth rate resulting in the diminished reaction rate in the final stage.

To study on the annual height growth of Pinus densiflora within natural pine stands in central Korea, twenty two pure closed Pinus densiflora stands were selected subjectively in the west-central region of Korea. In each stand twenty trees were chosen randomly. For each tree, abotu ten to fifteen measurements of internodal lengths were made from leader top to trunk base. A total of one hundred thirty four soil samples was collected. Each soil sample was bulked with three subsamples. The ranges of the growth measurements per stand, per tree and per observation were 14.9-35.4cm, 9.0cm-54.4cm and 2.4cm-69.0cm respectively. The total mean value was 23.5cm. The Student-Newman-Keul's tests for the multiple comparison among the mean values of the height growth per stand were very highly significant. The resutls of the analysis of variance of the height growth data for the selected fifteen stands among the twenty two stands indicate that sampling efficiency might be increased to 744% if measurement of the growth were made on fifteen trees per stand from twenty stands instead of twenty trees per stand from fifteen stands. The annual height growths of Pinus densiflora and Pinus koraiensis for the period from 1960 to 1968 were 21.74$\pm$5.29cm (10) and 20.56$\pm$5.59cm (10) respectively. The total means of easily-soluble phosphorus, total nitrogen, loss on ignition and pH for the soil samples were 2.8 ppm, 0.09%, 5.4% and 4.7 respectively. The ranges of those amounts were 18.7-1.7ppm, 0.17-0.05%, 11.6%-3.1%, 3.9-5.1 respectively. The relationship of the annual height growth of P. densiflora to soil was studied in terms of standard partial multiple regression. Among soil properties such as non-capillary pore space, capillary pore space, maximum field capacity, loss on ignition, soil reaction, total nitrogen and easily-soluble phosphoros investigated, the easily soluble phosphorus in one analysis and loss on ignition and soil reaction in the other analysis seem to have significant positive influence on the annual height growth.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of reaction-precipitate from Coptidis Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix aqueous mixture(CGP) on the cytotoxicity. The effects of CGP on the growth of tumor cells, Balb/c 3T3 cell, mouse spleen cell and human lymphocyte were compared with those of berberine, glycyrrhizin and berberine glycyrrhizinate(BG), which were estimated by MTT colorimetric assay or cell counting. CGP, berberine and BG inhibited the growth of several tumor cells, such as Hep G2, A549, Raji, MCF-7, HeLa and KHOS-NP. Whereas, glycyrrhizin inhibited the growth of Raji and MCF-7, CGP did not affect on Balb/C 3T3 cells, mouse spleen cells and human lymphocyte at $10^{-6}{\sim}10^{-5}g/ml$. CGP increased the number of leukocyte in mice. This results indicate that CGP have the inhibitory action of the growth of human tumor cells, and the side effect of CGP is less than berberine and BG.

Single crystals of hexagonal graphenes were successfully grown on Cu foils using the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. We investigated the effects of reaction parameters, such as the growth temperature and annealing time, on the size, coverage, and density of graphene domains grown over Cu foil. The mean size of the graphene domains increased significantly with increases in both the growth temperature and annealing time, and similar phenomena were observed in graphene domains grown by low pressure CVD over Cu foil. From the comparison of micro Raman spectroscopy in the graphene films grown with different annealing times, we found that the nucleation and growth of the domains were strongly dependent on the annealing time and growth temperature. Therefore, we confirmed that when reaction time was same, the number of layers and the degree of defects in the synthesized graphene films both decreased as the annealing time increased.

The present study aims to discover the effects of Dance sports program upon the hormone reaction of middle aged women. For this aim, 18 women in their 40 s were randomly selected and assigned to the experiment group and control group, evenly. The experiment group underwent a 12-week lesson of Dance sports program. Before training, and 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the onset of the lesson, the effects of hormone reaction of the group were investigated and the outcomes of the analysis could be concluded as follows: Both estrogen and growth hormone in the experiment group 12 weeks later result compared with the control group 0 week that practiced Dance Sports programs increased significantly (p<.001). In conclusion, it may be said that the 12-week session of Dance sports program exercised a positive effect to training seems to suggest the possibility of the dance lesson to have effects on the increase of estrogen and growth hormone. The study indicates a number of further are as into understanding that is worked out in consideration of practice period and proper weight for more efficient results, instead of a program that is just composed of an aerobic exercise only.

Objective: Molecular cloning and bioinformatics analysis of annexin A2 (ANXA2) gene in sika deer antler tip were conducted. The role of ANXA2 gene in the growth and development of the antler were analyzed initially. Methods: The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to clone the cDNA sequence of the ANXA2 gene from antler tip of sika deer (Cervus Nippon hortulorum) and the bioinformatics methods were applied to analyze the amino acid sequence of Anxa2 protein. The mRNA expression levels of the ANXA2 gene in different growth stages were examined by real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (real time RT-PCR). Results: The nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,020 bp encoding 339 amino acids long protein of calculated molecular weight 38.6 kDa and isoelectric point 6.09. Homologous sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis indicated that the Anxa2 mature protein of sika deer had the closest genetic distance with Cervus elaphus and Bos mutus. Real time RT-PCR results showed that the gene had differential expression levels in different growth stages, and the expression level of the ANXA2 gene was the highest at metaphase (rapid growing period). Conclusion: ANXA2 gene may promote the cell proliferation, and the finding suggested Anxa2 as an important candidate for regulating the growth and development of deer antler.

The direct reaction method has been used for the fabrication of Al-Mg/$Al_2O_3$ functionally gradient materials. It was found that the reaction layer of the Al-Mg/$Al_2O_3$ powder compact at $900^{\circ}C$ under air atmosphere led to the formation of reaction layers with varying ceramic phase contents. As the results of experiments by using the TGA system, the characteristics and growth behavior of the reaction layers were affected by the reaction temperature, the gas flow rate, the Mg contents and the $Al_2O_3$ contents.

${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system with varying in size of carbon source was investigated. A continuous reaction sintering process using Si melt infiltration method was adopted to control the reaction sintering time effectively. It was found that ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism in Si melt-C-SiC system was directly affected by the size of carbon source. In the Si melt-C-SiC system with large carbon source ${\beta}$-SiC formation mechanism could be divided into two stages depending on the reaction sintering time: in early stage of reaction sintering carbon dissolution in Si melt and precipitation of ${\beta}$-SiC was occurred preferentially and then SIC nucleation and growth was controlled by diffusion of carbon throughy the ${\beta}$-SiC layer formed on graphite particle. Furthmore a dissolution rate of graphite particles in Si melt could be accelerated by the infiltration of Si melt through basal plane of graphite crystalline.
