Korean Scientists Pinpoint Enzyme In Controlling Sleeping Patterns Need to sleep in the middle of the day or pull an all-nighter? A team of Korean scientists may offer the key to sleeping and staying awake as one pleases. Professor Kim Kyong-tai at the Pohang University of Science and Technology headed the team. The production of a hormone called melatonin is inhibited by light and only permitted in the dark. Even artificial lighting curbs the production of melatonin and many believe is the cause of various sleep problems. Kim and the team of scientists have pinpointed the enzyme that distinguishes between light and dark and ultimately decides the production of melatonin. In about a decade, new forms of sleeping pills or stimulants may be available. * as one pleases 자기가 원하는 대로 = to do things the way you wanted to do. - You can do as you please = it's up to you 니가 원하는 대로 해. * Pinpoint 정확하게 지적하다, ~의 위치를 정확하게 나타내다 = identify something correctly, to identify or locate something accurately, get to the bottom of sth.. * pull an all-nighter 밤새다 * pull 저지르다, 행하다 * inhibit 억제,제지하다 = curb * stimulant 자극제, 흥분제 Korea Planting Trees In Mongolia to Reduce Yellow Dust The worst yellow dust storm in four years hit Korea on the first weekend of April.

Korea's Meteorological Agency forecasts severe yellow dust storms this spring and more storms are expected in the coming weeks. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) recognizes that the problem is worsening with growing desertification. Korea recently supported the Forestation Project, which will create a greenbelt in Mongolia. Plans include planting 5,000,000 square meters of trees in Mongolia every year starting this year, 2007.
