    Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography

    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Military Transformation on the Korean Peninsula: Technology Versus Geography Being a Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Hull By Soon Ho Lee BA, Sungkyunkwan University, Republic of Korea, 2004 MA, The University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, 2005 MRes, King’s College London, United Kingdom, 2006 1 Acknowledgement I am the most grateful to my Supervisor Dr. David Lonsdale for his valuable academic advice and support during the long PhD journey. To reach this stage, I have had invaluable support from my family back in Korea and my dear wife Jin Heon. I would also like to thank my family for being so patient while I was researching. During this journey, I have obtained a precious jewel in my daughter, Da Hyeon. I will pray for you all my life. I would like to give special thanks to my late grandfather who gave me the greatest love, and taught me the importance of family. 2 Thesis Summary This thesis provides an explanation of one RMA issue: the effectiveness of contemporary military technology against tough geography, based upon case studies in the Korean peninsula. The originality of the thesis is that it will provide a sound insight for potential foes’ approach to the dominant US military power (superior technology and sustenance of war). The North Korean defence strategy – using their edge in geography and skill – tried to protect themselves from the dominant US power, but it may be impossible to deter or defeat them with technological superiority alone.

All RIGHTS RESERVED Corporate Profile GS Energy was incorporated on January 3, 2012 as a result of GS Holdings’ spinoff of GS Caltex, its refining, marketing, chemicals and transportation arm, creating a new independent Korean energy company. Subsequently, GS Energy assumed the high growth businesses previously operated by GS Caltex including, exploration & production and renewable energy operations. Further, by acquiring GS Caltex’s electric & gas utilities operations, GS Energy has solidified its position as an integrated energy-specialized holding company. Value chain integration and operational agility are fundamental to GS Energy’s long term growth strategy. GS Energy is organized into four interrelated segments: Exploration & Production, Refining & Petrochemicals, Gas & Power and Green Growth. Our integrated business model allows us to capture synergies among our different segments and activities. Our upstream businesses include the development of oil & gas projects across the globe, from the Middle East to the Americas and Southeast Asia. Further downstream, GS Energy is currently constructing a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in South Chungcheong Province to optimize value chain integration and to ultimately provide a steady flow of electric power and gas to customers through various subsidiaries and affiliates. Furthermore, given our focus on sustainable growth, we have been actively developing our technical know-how in the alternative energy sector.

Zonisamide was known for its weight reducing effect in the treatment of epileptic patients and some bipolar patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the weight reducing effect of zonisamide in combination with weight management program designed for schizophrenic inpatients. Method: One hundred twenty obese schizophrenic inpatients (BMI>27) were randomly assigned to 4 groups: A, control group (N=19), B, zonisamide alone group (N=34), C, weight reduction program alone group (N=32), and D, combination of zonisamide and weight reduction group (N=35). Daily dose of zonisamide was 100mg/day.

    Genetic Diversity and Population Genetic Structure of Black-Spotted Pond Frog (Pelophylax Nigromaculatus) Distributed in South Korean River Basins

    Original Articles PNIE 2021;2(2):120-128 https://doi.org/10.22920/PNIE.2021.2.2.120 pISSN 2765-2203, eISSN 2765-2211 Genetic Diversity and Population Genetic Structure of Black-spotted Pond Frog (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) Distributed in South Korean River Basins Jun-Kyu Park1 , Nakyung Yoo2 , Yuno Do1* 1Department of Biological Science, Kongju National University, Gongju, Korea 2National Institute of Ecology, Research Center for Endangered Species, Yeongyang, Korea ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the genotype of black-spotted pond frog (Pelophylax nigromaculatus) using seven micro- satellite loci to quantify its genetic diversity and population structure throughout the spatial scale of basins of Han, Geum, Yeong- san, and Nakdong Rivers in South Korea. Genetic diversities in these four areas were compared using diversity index and inbreeding coefficient obtained from the number and frequency of alleles as well as heterozygosity. Additionally, the population structure was confirmed with population differentiation, Nei’s genetic distance, multivariate analysis, and Bayesian clustering analysis. Interestingly, a negative genetic diversity pattern was observed in the Han River basin, indicating possible recent habitat disturbances or population declines. In contrast, a positive genetic diversity pattern was found for the population in the Nakdong River basin that had remained the most stable. Results of population structure suggested that populations of black-spotted pond frogs distributed in these four river basins were genetically independent. In particular, the population of the Nakdong River basin had the greatest genetic distance, indicating that it might have originated from an independent population. These results support the use of genetics in addition to designations strictly based on geographic stream areas to define the spatial scale of populations for management and conservation practices.

However, all of 4 bikesharing programs do not necessarily become a sustainable transportation mode. Two 5 bikesharing programs, Nubija and TA-SHU, in Korea have similar historical backgrounds, 6 but present completely distinctive features as a transportation mode.

The Commission, launched in December 2005, has strived to reveal the truth behind massacres during the Korean War, human rights abuses during the authoritarian rule, the anti-Japanese independence movement, and the history of overseas Koreans. It is not an easy task to seek the truth in past cases where the facts have been hidden and distorted for decades.
