2001년 수집된 한국잔디 133계통들 중에서 우수한 계통들을 선발하기위하여 밀도(품질),<br/> 피복성, 녹색기간, 내병성, 출수유무(종자수) 등의 주요특성과 그 외 생육특성들이 조사되었다. 생육특성이 우수한 6계통이 선발되었으며 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다.<br/> 수집된 133계통들 중에서 가장 녹색기간이긴 계통은 J01067으로 11월초까지 녹색도를 유지하였다. J01106 및 J01129 계통들은 엽폭이 각각 1.5mm 및 2mm 정도로 매우 좁으며, 밀도가 높고, 피복성도 좋은 것으로 나타났으며, 내병성도 강하였다. J01122 계통은 들잔디 계통들 중에서 유일하게 내병성이 강한 계통으로 선발되었다. J01128 계통은 엽폭이 3.2mm로 중엽에 속하였으며, 대비품종인 Sunburst 와 비슷하였다. 이 계통의 경우도J01106, J01129 계통들과 마찬가지로 밀도가 높고 내병성이 강한 것으로 나타났다.<br/> 수집된 133계통들의 형태적 분류를 위하여 5가지의 생육특성을 사용하여 크게 세가지 군집<br/> 으로 분류하였으며, 그 중에서 대비품종으로 사용된 6품종들과 선발된 우수 6계통의 분류는<br/> 다음과 같다. 제 1군집에 속하는 품종 및 계통은 Belare, Meyer, 안양중지(Anyang-jungji), J01067, J01112 등이 포함되었으며, 제 2군집으로는 S-94, J01105가 포함되었고, 제 3군집에는 Sunburst, 건희(Konhee), J01106, J01128, J01129 등이 포함되었다. Growth characteristics such as density(quality), covering speed, green period, disease resistance, heading existence(number of seeds) and other characteristics were examined for selection of superior lines among the 133 zoysiagrass lines collected in 2001. Six superior lines were selected and the results were summarized as follows.<br/> Superior line, J01067 was longest for green period among the 133 zoysiagrasses and stayed green until the beginning of November. Leaf width of J01106 and J01129 lines was very narrow as 1.5㎜ and 2㎜, respectively and superior for density(quality), covering speed and disease resistance. J01122 line was selected for strongest disease resistance among the lines of Zoysia japonica. Leaf width of J01128 was 3.2㎜ showing midium type and similar to standard cultivar, Sunburst. This line also showed higher density and strong disease resistance like J01106 and J01129.<br/> Five growth characteristics for morphological classification of 133 zoysiagrass lines<br/> was used and divided into 3 cluster groups. Of 133 lines, 6 standard cultivars and 6 superior lines were classified as follows. First cluster group contained Belare, Meyer, Anyang-jungji, J01067, J01122, and second group contained S-94 and J01105, and third group contained Sunburst, Konhee, J01106, J01128 and J01129.<br/> <br/>

Species and gamete-specific fertilization success of two sea urchins under near future levels of pCO₂

Sung, C.G.,Kim, T.W.,Park, Y.G.,Kang, S.G.,Inaba, K.,Shiba, K.,Choi, T.S.,Moon, S.D.,Litvin, S.,Lee, K.T.,Lee, J.S. Elsevier 2014 Journal of marine systems Vol.137 No.-

Since the Industrial Revolution, rising atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB> concentration has driven an increase in the partial pressure of CO<SUB>2</SUB> in seawater (pCO<SUB>2</SUB>), thus lowering ocean pH. We examined the separate effects of exposure of gametes to elevated pCO<SUB>2</SUB> and low pH on fertilization success of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus nudus. Sperm and eggs were independently exposed to seawater with pCO<SUB>2</SUB> levels ranging from 380 (pH7.96-8.3) to 6000ppmv (pH7.15-7.20). When sperm were exposed, fertilization rate decreased drastically with increased pCO<SUB>2</SUB>, even at a concentration of 450ppmv (pH range: 7.94 to 7.96). Conversely, fertilization of Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus was not significantly changed even when sperm was exposed to pCO2 concentrations as high as 750ppmv. Exposure of S. nudus eggs to seawater with high pCO<SUB>2</SUB> did not affect fertilization success, suggesting that the effect of increased pCO<SUB>2</SUB> on sperm is responsible for reduced fertilization success. Surprisingly, this result was not related to sperm motility, which was insensitive to pCO<SUB>2</SUB>. When seawater was acidified using HCl, leaving pCO<SUB>2</SUB> constant, fertilization success in S. nudus remained high (>80%) until pH decreased to 7.3. While further studies are required to elucidate the physiological mechanism by which elevated pCO<SUB>2</SUB> impairs sperm and reduces S. nudus fertilization, this study suggests that in the foreseeable future, sea urchin survival may be threatened due to lower fertilization success driven by elevated pCO<SUB>2</SUB> rather than by decreased pH in seawater.

O-free polyacrylonitrile doping to improve the J_c(B) and H_c2 of MgB₂ wires

Hwang, S.M.,Sung, K.,Choi, J.H.,Kim, W.,Joo, J.,Lim, J.H.,Kim, C.J.,Park, Y.S.,Kim, D.H. North-Holland 2010 Physica. C, Superconductivity Vol.470 No.20

We selected polyacrylonitrile (PAN, -[C<SUB>3</SUB>H<SUB>3</SUB>N]-) as an O-free organic dopant and fabricated C-doped MgB<SUB>2</SUB> wires by in situ and powder-in-tube techniques. 0-5 wt.% PAN powders were uniformly mixed with B powder using a liquid mixing method. The precursor powders were mixed with Mg powder, filled into Fe tubes, and then drawn into wires. Sintering was performed at 900<SUP>o</SUP>C for 1h in a flowing Ar gas. The PAN doping decreased the critical temperature (T<SUB>c</SUB>) and a-axis lattice parameter, but significantly improved the critical current density (J<SUB>c</SUB>) in high fields, upper critical field (H<SUB>c2</SUB>), and irreversibility field (H<SUB>irr</SUB>) performances. These results are attributed to the replacement of B sites with C by the PAN doping. Furthermore, as expected, the MgO amount did not increase as the doping content increased. The J<SUB>c</SUB> of the PAN-doped MgB<SUB>2</SUB> wires was more than one order of magnitude higher than that of the undoped MgB<SUB>2</SUB> wire at 5K and 6.6T (1.46-3.82kA/cm<SUP>2</SUP> vs. 0.11kA/cm<SUP>2</SUP>).

Background/Aims: Des-γ-carboxy prothrombin(DCP), a protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II(PIVKA-II), and Lens culinaris agglutinin-A reactive AFP-L3 have been reported to be useful markers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In the present study, both the PIVKA-II and AFP-L3 were analyzed and compared with a conventional AFP to determine its usefulness, specificity and sensitivity in the diagnosis of HCC. Methods: Sera were collected from 108 patients consisting of 17 patients with chronic hepatitis, 22 patients with liver cirrhosis and 69 patients with HCC. The AFP-L3 was determined by an lectin affinity electrophoresis coupled with an antibody-affinity blotting. Level of DCP was measured by an enzyme immunoassay with an anti-DCP monoclonal antibody. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of PIVKA-II and AFP L3 were 49.3% and 89.5%, and 32.5% and 85.7%, respectively. No significant correlation was found between the PIVKA-II or AFP L3 and serum AFP. No correlation was found etween the PIVKA-II or AFP L3 and the characteristics of HCC. Conclusion: The determination of plasma DCP and AFP L3 levels combined with AFP levels may be useful especially for the differential diagnosis between HCC and chronic liver diseases without HCC.(Korean J HepatoBackground/Aims: Des-γ-carboxy prothrombin(DCP), a protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II(PIVKA-II), and Lens culinaris agglutinin-A reactive AFP-L3 have been reported to be useful markers for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Study on the improved J_c(B) performance of polyacrylic acid-doped MgB₂ bulks

Hwang, S.M.,Lee, C.M.,Lee, S.M.,Sung, K.,Joo, J.,Lim, J.H.,Kang, W.N.,Kim, C.J. North-Holland 2010 Physica. C, Superconductivity Vol.470 No.suppl1

We fabricated polyacrylic acid (PAA)-doped MgB<SUB>2</SUB> bulks by wet mixing and in situ reaction process and studied the relationships between the phase formation, lattice change, microstructure, and critical properties according to the PAA doping level. The PAA doping increased the MgO amount and grain boundary area but decreased the a-axis lattice constant and critical temperature (T<SUB>c</SUB>), which is indicative of the substitution of B sites by C in MgB<SUB>2</SUB>. Furthermore, the critical current density (J<SUB>c</SUB>) at high magnetic fields improved with the increasing PAA content to 5.99kA/cm<SUP>2</SUP> for the 7wt% PAA-doped sample, which was about 6-fold higher than that of the pure sample at 5K and 6.6T. This improvement was mainly attributed to the C substitution and the fine grain size due to PAA doping, suggesting that PAA is an effective dopant in improving J<SUB>c</SUB>(B) performance of MgB<SUB>2</SUB>.

PCR 기법을 이용한 한국재래산양의 α s2-casein 유전자의 특성

이상훈,상병찬,한성욱,김지애,서길웅 한국동물자원과학회 2000 한국축산학회지 Vol.42 No.4

This study was performed to provide the basic data for preservation and improvement of genetic resources according to finding genetic construction obtained from the analysis of genetic characteristics of α_(S2-) casein gene in Korean Native goat using PCR-RFLP. This study confirmed the amplified product of 1.3kb fragment obtained from the amplification of a α_(S2-)casein loci by PCR. The frequency of a α_(S2-)casein genotype in Korean Native goat was 100% for AA type and the frequencies of a α_(S2-)casein genotype in Saanen were 80 and 20% for AA and AB genotypes. The frequency of a α_(S2-)casein A allele was 1.000 in Korean Native goat, and the frequencies of a α_(S2-)casein A and B alleles were 0.900 and 0.100 in Saanen, respectively. The nucleotide sequence of a α_(S2-)casein gene of Korean Native goat was 99.0% homology with 12 nucleotide sequences difference of that of goat reported in GeneBank(AJ238965.1, AJ238967.1) and was 95.0% homology with 57 nucleotide sequences difference of that of Holstein reported in Gene Bank(M94327). Therefore, this study of molecular genetic characteristics by the analysis of genetic polymorphisms and sequences for a α_(S2-)casein gene should be used as basic data for preservation and improvement of genetic resources in Korean Native goat breeding.
