The propellant acquisition vane (PAV) is a key part of a vane type surface tension propellant management device (PMD), which can manage the propellant effectively. In the present paper, the fluid transportation behaviors for five PAVs with different sections were investigated by using microgravity drop tower test. Further, numerical simulation for the propellant flow in a PMD under microgravity condition was also carried out based on VOF model, and showed the similar flow pattern for PAVs to the experiment. It is noted that the section geometry of PAVs is one of the main factors affecting the fluid transportation behavior of PMD. PAVs with bottom length ratio of 5/6 and 1/2 have larger propellant transportation velocity. Based on the experiments, there were two stages during the process of propellant transportation under microgravity environment: liquid relocation and steady transportation stage. It is also recognized that there is a linear correlation between liquid transportation velocity and relative time's square root. Those results can not only provide a guideline for optimization of new vane type PMDs, but also are helpful for fluid control applications in space environment.

지상에 떨어진 Opuntia bigelovii 선인장의 줄기에 있어서 광 energy의 이용한계와 함수량과의 관계를 연구하였다. 이들 떨어진 선인장의 줄기는 주.야로 줄기확산저항이 256.0~310.4 sec $cm^{-1}$인 것으로 보아 기공은 주.야를 통하여 폐공하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 축적된 산의 감소율은 PAR이 1000${\mu}Em^{-2}sec^{-1}$인 조건 하에서 4시간이면 steady state로 감소하였다. 조직내의 산감소율은 조직의 함수량에 따라 감소하며 그 함수량이 56.4~46.8% 일때에는 4시간 동안의 광조사와 본실험방법으로는 거의 산감소율을 확인할 수 없었다. 일주기 rhythm에 의하여 나타나는 산도의 oscillation도 조직의 함수량으 감소에 따라 감소하였다. 한마디의 선인장줄기가 사막의 땅에 떨어져 두마디의 선인장이 되는 생존율을 22.7%였으며 그동안은 외부로 부터 $CO_2$와 물의 흡수없이 광energy를 이용하여 생존하고 비가 내리자 않는 긴 건조기에도 선인장은 똑같은 방법으로 생활한다는 것은 알 수 있었다. 이와 같이 외부로 부터 들어오는 광과 호흡에 의하여 내생되는 $CO_2$만을 이용하는 보상광합성의 대사과정을 model로 제시하였다.

Finger millet straw and rice straw are the major source of dry roughage in southern India. They distinctly vary in their morphological and nutritional characters. Hence an effort was made to study the nutrient utilization, milk yield and composition in crossbred dairy cows fed either finger millet (group 1) or rice straw (group 2) as a source of dry roughage. The cows in both the groups were fed as per requirement with concentrate, green fodder and straw in the ratio of 30:45:25 parts (DM). At the end of 50 days of preliminary feeding a digestibility trial was conducted for 7 days and pooled samples of feed, fodder, feces, urine and milk were analysed for macro and micro nutrient content. Finger millet straw contained more CP, Ca, P, Mg, Cu, Zn and Co than rice straw and rice straw contained higher ADF, ash and silica. The intake of DM, CP, EE, NDF, ADF and most micronutrients (Ca, P, Mg, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn and Co) was significantly higher in cows fed finger millet straw. The digestibility of DM, CP, NDF and ADF was significantly higher in cows fed finger millet straw and the gut absorption of Ca, Cu, Mn and Co was significantly higher in cows fed finger millet straw. The dietary requirement of all micronutrients in both the group of cows could be met irrespective of the type of roughage fed except that of Ca, which was low (0.61 and 0.40%) in rice straw fed cows. The average daily milk yield (L/cow) was also higher (7.0 L) in cows fed finger millet straw as compared to cows fed rice straw (6.3 L). The average milk composition also did not differ except that of milk fat which was significantly (4.7 and 4.5%) low in cows fed rice straw. The overall results of this study have indicated that finger millet straw is a better source of dry fodder than rice straw and while feeding rice straw as the sole roughage to dairy cows there is need to supplement additional calcium as this could be one of the limiting nutrients for milk production.

대기 $CO_2$ 상승시 인산공급이 대두식물체의 광합성 및 질소고정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고저 Bradyrhizobium japonicum MN110을 접종한 대두 식물체를 인산결핍구(0.05 m-P) 및 대조구(1.0 mM-P)를 처리하여 정상 $CO_2(400\;{\mu}l/L)$와 상승 $CO_2(800\;{\mu}l/L)$의 조건인 phytotron에서 35일 동안 재배하였다. 인산결핍은 건물량을 정상 $CO_2$ 처리시 51%, 상승 $CO_2$ 처리시 64%를 감소시켰고 총 엽면적도 유의성있게 감소시켰으나 specific leaf weight는 증가시켰다. 광합성 속도 및 잎내부의 $CO_2$농도는 인산결집구에서 감소하였고 그 정도는 $CO_2$ 상승처리시 더욱 컸으며 질소고정능과 근류생체량도 인산결핍시 감소하였으나 잎의 질소농도는 인산대조구가 30% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서도 인산이 결핍될 경우 식물생육을 촉진시키지 못하며 인산은 정상 $CO_2$ 농도시 보다 $CO_2$ 상승조건에서 근류의 성장과 작용에 더욱 중요한 역할을 하는것으로 유추된다.

최근 세계적으로 이산화탄소(CO₂)의 과도한 배출로 기후변화가 야기되며 CO₂를 제거하고 활용하는 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 철도의 선로에서 발생하는 콘크리트 철도 침목 폐기물을 CO₂ 흡수 소재의 활용 가능성을 평가하고 CO₂ 흡수 반응 전/후의 물리화학적 성질 분석을 통해 CO₂ 제거 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 콘크리트 철도 침목 폐기물은 대부분 Si(26.60 %)로 이루어져 있고 Ca 함유량이 9.82 %로 포틀랜드 시멘트, 일반 콘크리트 폐기물 시료와 비교하였을 때 가장 적음에도 불구하고 함유량의 98 %가 CO₂ 포집 반응에 참여하여 CO₂ 포집 소재로의 우수한 활용 가능성을 입증하였다. TGA와 XRD 분석을 통해 콘크리트 철도 침목 폐기물 기반 CO₂ 포집 소재가 함유하고 있는 Ca가 CO₂ 기체와의 반응을 통해 CaCO₃로 전환되는 탄산화 반응이 CO₂ 제거의 주요 메커니즘임을 확인하였다. 또한 SEM 분석 결과 CO₂ 포집 반응 이후에 0.1 ㎛ 이하 크기의 CaCO₃ 입자가 다량 형성되었으며, 이는 CO₂ 포집 소재 내부에 거대기공을 메조기공으로 변환시켜 포집 소재의 비표면적 증가를 야기하였다.

Based on the differential electrode equilibria approach, potentiometric YSZ sensors with semiconducting oxide electrodes for CO detection are developed. To improve the selectivity, sensitivity and response-time of the sensor, our strategy includes (a) selection of an oxide with a semiconducting response to CO, (b) addition of other semiconducting materials, (c) addition of a catalyst (Pd), (d) utilization of combined p- and n-type electrodes in one sensor configuration, and (e) optimization of operating temperatures. Excellent sensing performance is obtained by a novel device structure incorporating $La_2CuO_4$ electrodes on one side and $TiO_2$-based electrodes on opposite substrate faces with Pt contacts. The resulting response produces additive effects for the individual $La_2CuO_4$ and $TiO_2$-based electrodes voltages, thereby realizing an even higher CO sensitivity. The device also is highly selective to CO versus NO with minor sensitivity for NO concentration, compared to a notably large CO sensitivity.

Objective: This study was performed to understand transcriptional changes in the genes involved in gluconeogenesis and glycolysis pathways following castration of bulls. Methods: Twenty Korean bulls were weaned at average 3 months of age, and castrated at 6 months. Liver tissues were collected from bulls (n = 10) and steers (n = 10) of Korean cattle, and hepatic gene expression levels were measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We examined hepatic transcription levels of genes encoding enzymes for irreversible reactions in both gluconeogenesis and glycolysis as well as genes encoding enzymes for the utilization of several glucogenic substrates. Correlations between hepatic gene expression and carcass characteristics were performed to understand their associations. Results: Castration increased the mRNA (3.6 fold; p<0.01) and protein levels (1.4 fold; p<0.05) of pyruvate carboxylase and mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase genes (1.7 fold; p<0.05). Hepatic mRNA levels of genes encoding the glycolysis enzymes were not changed by castration. Castration increased mRNA levels of both lactate dehydrogenase A (1.5 fold; p<0.05) and lactate dehydrogenase B (2.2 fold; p<0.01) genes for lactate utilization. Castration increased mRNA levels of glycerol kinase (2.7 fold; p<0.05) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 1 (1.5 fold; p<0.05) genes for glycerol utilization. Castration also increased mRNA levels of propionyl-CoA carboxylase beta (mitochondrial) (3.5 fold; p<0.01) and acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 3 (1.3 fold; p = 0.06) genes for propionate incorporation. Conclusion: Castration increases transcription levels of critical genes coding for enzymes involved in irreversible gluconeogenesis reactions from pyruvate to glucose and enzymes responsible for incorporation of glucogenic substrates including lactate, glycerol, and propionate. Hepatic gluconeogenic gene expression levels were associated with intramuscular fat deposition.

Effects of protease-resistant antimicrobial substances (PRA) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc citreum on rumen methanogenesis were examined using the in vitro continuous methane quantification system. Four different strains of lactic acid bacteria, i) Lactococcus lactis ATCC19435 (Control, non-antibacterial substances), ii) Lactococcus lactis NCIMB702054 (Nisin-Z), iii) Lactobacillus plantarum TUA1490L (PRA-1), and iv) Leuconostoc citreum JCM9698 (PRA-2) were individually cultured in GYEKP medium. An 80 ml aliquot of each supernatant was inoculated into phosphate-buffered rumen fluid. PRA-1 remarkably decreased cumulative methane production, though propionate, butyrate and ammonia N decreased. For PRA-2, there were no effects on $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ production and fermentation characteristics in mixed rumen cultures. The results suggested that PRA-1 reduced the number of methanogens or inhibited utilization of hydrogen in rumen fermentation.
