Objective: A genomic region associated with a particular phenotype is called quantitative trait loci (QTL). To detect the optimal F₂ population size associated with QTLs in native chicken, we performed a simulation study on F₂ population derived from crosses between two different breeds. Methods: A total of 15 males and 150 females were randomly selected from the last generation of each F₁ population which was composed of different breed to create two different F₂ populations. The progenies produced from these selected individuals were simulated for six more generations. Their marker genotypes were simulated with a density of 50K at three different heritability levels for the traits such as 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5. Our study compared 100, 500, 1,000 reference population (RP) groups to each other with three different heritability levels. And a total of 35 QTLs were used, and their locations were randomly created. Results: With a RP size of 100, no QTL was detected to satisfy Bonferroni value at three different heritability levels. In a RP size of 500, two QTLs were detected when the heritability was 0.5. With a RP size of 1,000, 0.1 heritability was detected only one QTL, and 0.5 heritability detected five QTLs. To sum up, RP size and heritability play a key role in detecting QTLs in a QTL study. The larger RP size and greater heritability value, the higher the probability of detection of QTLs. Conclusion: Our study suggests that the use of a large RP and heritability can improve QTL detection in an F₂ chicken population.

Purpose: The effect of two different levels of illumination and the effect of three letter chart types on subjective refraction findings were investigated. Methods: This study involved thirty Malay university students aged between 19 to 23 years old (7 males, 23 females), with their spherical refractive error ranged between plano to -7.75D astigmatism ranged from plano to -1.75D, anisometropia less than 1D and with no history of ocular injury and pathology. Monocular subjective refraction was measured under two levels of illumination (with and without room light) and with three different letter charts (Snellen letter chart, wall mounted letter chart and projected letter chart). Subjective refraction finding was calculated in spherical equivalent in unit diopter (D). Results: There was no significant effect in the subjective refraction findings with Snellen letter chart (t-test=0.15, p-value=0.88), projected letter chart (t-test=-0.19, p-value=0.85) as well as wall mounted letter chart (t-test=0.12, p-value=0.94). One Way ANOVA also revealed when the subjective refractive measures were compared under two different level of room illumination (with and without room light), no significant effect of letter chart types on subjective refraction readings with room light ($F_{2.185}$=0.11, p-value=0.89) and without room light ($F_{2.185}$=0.02, p-value=0.98). Conclusions: Subjective refraction findings were not affected whether the room light was on or off. They were also not affected by the types of letter chart used.

This study investigated the heat level rating of several varieties of Korean red peppers. The chemical constitution of Korean red pepper samples were as follows: 0.54~290.15 mg% capsaicinoids, 79.22~139.09 ASTA value, and 16.76~29.92% free sugar content. The heat level of the Korean red pepper samples was evaluated by trained panelists and the correlation coefficient and F value (0.001%) of the panelist’s results were determined to be significant. In the principle component analysis (PCA), PC1 (capsaicinoids) and PC2 (free sugar) were shown to represent 31.98% and 25.77% of the total variance, respectively. The results of panelists trained for red pepper heat rating were evaluated using analysis of variance and correlation analysis. The trained panelists showed a high F value (p=0.05) and high correlation coefficient. A high correlation efficient of 0.84~0.93 for the test samples with a 40 Scoville heat unit (32,000 SHU red pepper powder) was reported in the sensory evaluation of the Korean red pepper heat level by a trained panel. However, the panel showed a low correlation efficiency of 0.70 $R^2$ when the 60 SHU test samples were included in the analysis.

The $^{13}C-NMR$ shifts of a series of para-substituted $8-aryl-tricyclo[3.2.1.0^{2,7}]oct-8-yl$ and $9-aryl-tricyclo[3.3.1.0^{2,8}]-non-9-yl$ cations were measured in $FSO_3H/SO_2ClF\ at\-90^{\circ}$ in order to examine whether the ${\rho}^{C^+}$ values can be used as a measure of the geometric influence on the charge delocalization resulting from ${\rho}$ conjugation in rigid tricyclopropylcarbinyl cations. Plot of the ${\Delta}{\delta}^{C+} shifts against the ${\sigma}^{C+}$ constants revealed excellent linear correlation. The 8-aryl tricyclooctyl systems yielded a ${\rho}^{C+}$ value of -5.00 with r = 0.9962. Previous investigation of the 9-aryl-tricyclononyl systems gave a correlation coefficient of r = 0.9948 with a slope of ${\rho}^{C+}$ = -4.95. A fair parallelism exists between the results of $^{19}F-NMR $ studies and the change of ${\rho}^{C+}$ value in these cations. Consequently, it is established that the ${\rho}^{C+}$ value can be used to explain the mechanism of charge stabilization of the rigid cyclopropylcarbinyl cation such as tricyclo $[3.2.1.0^{2,7}]oct-8-yl$ cation.

Sr1+xSm1-xFeO4-y solid solutions with a composition range 0.00 ≤x≤1.00 have been prepared at 1200 ℃ in air under normal atmospheric pressure. All the solutions exhibit the K2NiF4-type structure of tetragonal system. Mohr salt analysis shows that the mole ratio of Fe4+ ion to Fe3+ ion or the τ value increases with the x value. Nonstoichiometric chemical formulas have been formulated from the x, τ, and y values. Electrical conductivity was measured in the temperature range of 173-373 K under atmospheric air pressure. The conductivities of each sample are varied within the semiconductivity range. The conductivity at constant temperature increases steadily with x value and activation energies are varied from 0.14 to 0.32 eV. The conduction mechanism of the ferrite system may be proposed as a hopping model of conduction electrons between the mixed valence states. The Mossbauer spectrum for the composition of x=0.00 shows a six line pattern by which the existence of Fe3+(I.S.=0.32 mm/sec) can only be identified. The spectra for the compositions of x=0.50 and 1.00 presents broad single line patterns showing a mixed valence state.

우리나라 유유아 및 성장기아동을 위한 영양식품 개발을 목표로 시작한 일련의 연구 중 시제품 F-P-4가 단일 완전식품 및 다목적 식품으로서 가장 우수하였다. 본 연구는 F-P-4 보다 영양가를 향상시키면서도 제품의 가격을 저하시킬 수 있는 가능성을 구명하기 위하여 이를 기준으로 새로이 F-P-5, F-P-6 및 F-P-7을 조제하고, 재차 화학적 성분분석, 동물사육시험, 유유아 급식시험을 실시하므로서 시제품에 대한 영양학적 생화학적 검토와 함께 그 저장성을 검토하였다. 1. F-P-5, F-P-6 및 F-P-7의 단백질 함량은 구성 원료의 배합비에 다소 변동이 있으나 F-P-4의 경우와 마찬가지로 약21%이였다. 2. 흰쥐에 급식, 7주간 사육한 결과 F-P-4, F-P-5 및 F-P-6군은 그 성장도가 서로 비슷하고 FER이 다같이 0.20이었으나, F-P-7군은 FER이 0.16으로 가장 낮고 타군에 비하여 성장도 떨어졌다. 3. F-P-4, F-P-5 및 F-P-6를 $3{\sim}12$개월 되는 유유아에게 30일간 급식한 결과 잘 먹었고 전반적으로 체온, 대변의 성상, 체중증가 등이 정상이었고 발육도 좋았다. 그리고 Hemoglobin 함량은 급식 전에는 정상치보다 다소 낮았으나, 30일 급식 후에는 0.6{\sim}2.2g%$가 증가하여 정상범위에 이르렀고, 혈청 albumin 및 총단백질량도 급식 후에는 전반적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 한편 BUN도 대체로 소아표준치의 정상범위내에 있었다. 4. F-P-4를 8개월간 $25^{\circ}C,\;65{\sim}80%$의 상대습도에서 polyethlene film (0.04mm)으로 포장 저장한 결과 비타민 C와 생균수가 감소, POV, TBA value가 증가하였으며, spectral reflectance intensity, organoleptic quality에도 역시 변화가 있어서 식용할 수 있는 범위는 2개월 이내로 판정되었다. 따라서 저장성을 높이기 위한 제품 및 포장에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 5. F-P-5와 F-P-6 제품은 F-P-4에 비하여 그 영양가는 비등하되, 약 10%의 원료비의 절약이 예상된다. 원료배합 공정까지를 고려할 때 F-P-5가 가장 우수한 제품으로 밝혀졌다. 6. 식물성 혼합물인 F-P-7은 유아를 위한 단일 완전식품으로서는 불충분하나, F-P-4보다 20%나 원료비가 낮으므로 성장기 어린이를 위하여 값싼 보충식품으로 활용할만하다고 생각된다.

Bi-substituted gadolinium iron garnet films were deposited on GGG(111) and NGG (111) substrates by irradiating KrF excimer laser onto targets having compositions of $Bi_{x}Gd_{3-x}Fe_{5}O_{12}$ ($2.0{\leq}x{\leq}3.0$) under substrate temperature of $580~620^{\circ}C$. Analysis on structure, composition and angle of Faraday rotation, ${\theta}_{F}$, were carried out. The composition, the structure and the magneto-optical properties of the obtained films were found to be strongly dependent both on the compositions of the targets and on the pressure of oxygen. Before annealing in air, all films showed ${\theta}_{F}{\geq}0$ at ${\lambda}=6328{\AA}$, while several films showed ${\theta}_{F}{\leq}0$ after the annealing. The highest value of Bi-substitution up to x = 1.76 with uniform composition was obtained.

목적: 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상(dual time point $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT imaging)을 통해 갑상선미세유두암 원발 병소와 양성 갑상선결절의 FDG 섭취 양상을 비교 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 갑상선유두암으로 진단받고 수술 전 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT를 시행한 환자들 중 134명의 갑상선미세유두암(154개)과 49명의 1.0 cm 이하의 양성 갑상선결절 양성 갑상선결절(61개)을 대상으로 후향적 분석을 시행하였다. 두 번의 영상에서 모두 갑상선미세유두암과 양성갑상선결절의 최대 표준화섭취계수(SUVmax)와 두 영상 간 SUVmax의 백분율 변화(${\Delta}%SUVmax$), 병소와 정상조직의 SUVmax의 백분율 변화(${\Delta}%L$:B ratio)를 계산하였다. 두 영상 간의 시간 차이는 평균 $23.4{\pm}4.4$분(갑상선 부위 기준 평균 $10.7{\pm}4.4$분)이었다. 결과: 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상에서 154개의 갑상선미세유두암은 평균 SUVmax가 $4.9{\pm}4.3$ (1.1~29.9)에서 $5.3{\pm}4.7$ (1.0~33.1)로 증가하였고(p<0.001) 평균 $12.3{\pm}23.6%$ (-34.1~85.3%) 증가하였으나, 61개의 양성 갑상선결절은 $2.1{\pm}1.0$ (1.0~5.3)에서 $2.1{\pm}1.3$ (0.9~8.0)으로 변하였고 평균 $0.3{\pm}20.5%$ (-41.7~118.2%) 감소하였다. 또한 갑상선미세유두암은 100개(64.9%)가 두 번째 영상에서 SUVmax가 증가하였으나 양성 갑상선결절은 19개(31.1%)만 증가하였다. 첫 번째 영상보다 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상에서 더 많은 수의 갑상선미세유두암이 육안적으로 양성 소견을 보였고(62.3% vs. 76.6%, p=0.006), 크기가 0.5 cm 이하인 경우에도 발견율이 증가하였다(38.6% vs. 60.0%, p=0.011). 결론: 갑상선미세유두암의 평가에 있어서 일반적인 한 번의 영상검사(single time point $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT imaging)에 비해 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상이 원발 갑상선미세유두암 병소와 양성 갑상선결절을 감별하는데 도움이 되었고, 특히 특히 단일 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상에서 불확실 소견 또는 음성 소견을 보이는 경우나 크기가 0.5 cm 이하인 경우에 이중시간 $^{18}F$-FDG PET/CT 영상을 시행하는 것이 병소의 악성여부 감별에 더 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We consider the fourth-order differential equation with one-dimensional $p$-Laplacian (${\phi}_p(x^{\prime\prime}(t)))^{\prime\prime}=f(t,x(t),x^{\prime}(t),x^{\prime\prime}(t)$) a.e. $t{\in}[0,1]$, subject to the boundary conditions $x^{\prime\prime}}(0)=0$, $({\phi}_p(x^{\prime\prime}(t)))^{\prime}{\mid}_{t=0}=0$, $x(0)={\sum}_{i=1}^n{\mu}_ix({\xi}_i)$, $x(t)=x(1-t)$, $t{\in}[0,1]$, where ${\phi}_p(s)={\mid}s{\mid}^{p-2}s$, $p$ > 1, 0 < ${\xi}_1$ < ${\xi}_2$ < ${\cdots}$ < ${\xi}_n$ < $\frac{1}{2}$, ${\mu}_i{\in}\mathbb{R}$, $i=1$, 2, ${\cdots}$, $n$, ${\sum}_{i=1}^n{\mu}_i=1$ and $f:[0,1]{\times}\mathbb{R}^3{\rightarrow}\mathbb{R}$ is a $L^1$-Carath$\acute{e}$odory function with $f(t,u,v,w)=f(1-t,u,-v,w)$ for $(t,u,v,w){\in}[0,1]{\times}\mathbb{R}^3$. We obtain the existence of at least one nonconstant symmetric solution by applying an extension of Mawhin's continuation theorem due to Ge. Furthermore, an example is given to illustrate the results.

This study was performed to estimate optimum fishing mortality (F) and the age at first capture ($t_c$) for small yellow croaker in Korean waters. We first estimated optimum F and $t_c$ using traditional yield-per-recruit (YPR) analysis, and the results were 0.8/year and 2.5 years old, respectively. However, the individual fish price per unit weight of small yellow croaker in Korea increases dramatically by size. Thus, we developed an alternative method, which is called as production value-per-recruit (PPR) analysis. We developed two types of the PPR analysis, that is, the discrete function and the continuous function method. We estimated optimum F and $t_c$ using the two types of the PPR analysis and compared the results. The optimum F and $t_c$ from the discrete function method, were 0.3/year and 5.0 years old, respectively, while those from the continuous function method were 0.5/year and 3.5 years old, respectively. These PPR estimates were much more conservative for the stock management than the traditional YPR analysis, which can prevent the fish stock from the economic overfishing. As a result, the PPR analysis could be more proper approach for stock assessment in the case that the individual fish price per unit weight increases dramatically by size like small yellow croaker in Korea.
