For this study three types of block such as medicated urea-molasses-mineral block (MUMMB, 7% urea), urea-molasses-mineral blocks ($UMMB_a$ 7% urea) and urea-molasses-mineral blocks ($UMMB_b$ 21% urea) were prepared. Naturally infested 24 indigenous dairy cows with gastrointestinal nematodes were used to study the effect of MUMMB, $UMMB_a$ and $UMMB_b$ on different parameters (body weight, milk yield, serum urea level, milk urea level). The cows were offered normal diet added with 250 g block per cow for every day. Straw and green grasses were used as basal diet in the ration. The managemental facilities for all cows of each group were similar. Cows were stall fed, calves were tied up at night and had free access to their dam during day time. Milking was done once daily in the morning. The daily average live weight gains by MUMMB, $UMMB_a$, $UMMB_b$, and control group (no block) were 52.08 g, 44.44 g, 48.58 g, and 1.41 g respectively. The live weight gain were statistically significant (p<0.01) in comparison to control group. The highest daily milk yield was observed in MUMMB treated cows (2.39 L/d); followed by $UMMB_b$ treated cows (1.82 L/d) and $UMMB_a$ treated cows (2.16 L/d). The lowest milk yield was found in control group (1.54 L/d). This result differs significantly (p<0.05) between treated groups and also with control group. During urea-molasses-mineral blocks $UMMB_a$, $UMMB_b$ licking milk urea level increased from initial $22.76{\pm}2.35mg/dl$ to $35.46{\pm}4.80mg/dl$ and initial $22.86{\pm}2.96mg/dl$ to $40.66{\pm}0.87mg/dl$ respectively. This variation of milk urea level was statistically significant (p<0.001). Similarly during $UMMB_a$, and $UMMB_b$ blocks licking, serum urea level increased in both treated groups from initial $22.76{\pm}2.60mg/dl$ to $32.68{\pm}2.21$ and initial $23.70{\pm}2.78mg/dl$ to $40.48{\pm}3.24mg/dl$, respectively. This variation of serum urea level was also statistically significant (p<0.001). Use of MUMMB instead of UMMB was proved better for milk production and live weight gain in dairy cows under the village condition of Bangladesh where balanced ration for dairy cows are a major scarcity. And various concentration of urea in blocks positively affect milk and serum urea levels of indigenous dairy cows.

In this paper, a kind of limit cycle of an inverted pendulum system is discussed. We propose a stabilization control law for such a limit cycle of an inverted pendulum system that the pendulum rotates periodically. Besides, the stabilization control law is extended so as to ensure not only stability of the limit cycle but also an L$_2$-gain disturbance attenuation in the presence of modeling error and viscosity friction.

본 논문에서는 다중경로 레일리 페이딩 환경에서 하이브리드 SC/MRC-$L_{c}/L$ 다이버시티 수신 Multi-Carrier DS-CDMA 시스템의 성능을 해석하고, 이를 광대력 DS-CDMA 시스템의 성능과 비교, 분석하였다 Multi-Ca-rrier DS-CDMA 시스템에서는 각 반속파의입력 다이버시티 가지 L 개중에서 $L_{c}$ 개를 선택하여 최대비 합성하며, 하이브리드 SC/MRC 다이버시티의 출력 신호에 대하여 각각 반송파별로 상관기를 이용하여 동조 복조 및 역확산을 수행한다. 분석 결과, 하이브리드 SC/MRC-$L_{c}/L$ 다이버시티 수신 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템은 모든 다이버시티 가지에 대해 비트 동기나 위상 동기가 요구되지 않으므로 시스템의 구조가 간단하며, 비트 동기나 위상 동기가 요구되는 최대비 합성 다이버시티 수신보다는 오율 성능이 떨어지지만, 선택 다이버시티 수신보다는 오율 성능이 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 각 다이버시티 가지로부터 이득을 얻게 되므로 하이브리드 SC/MRC-$L_{c}/L$ 수신시 Multi-Carrier DS_CDMA 시스템은 다중경로 페이딩 채널에서 기존의 광대역 DS-CDMA 시스템보다 성능이 개선된다. 무선 데이터 통신에서 요구되는 오율 $10^{-6}$을 목표로 했을 때 4개의 반송파를 이용하는 경우 하이브리드 SC/MRC-2/4 다이버시티 수신시, 하이브리드 SC/MRC-2/3 다이버시티 수신할 때 보다 사용자를 17명 더 증가시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이로서 하이브리드 SC/MRC-$L_{c}/L$ 다이버시티 수신시 입력 다이버시티 가지(L)를 증가시킴으로써 다이버시티 가지의 선택의 폭을 늘릴 수 있어서, 이득을 얻게 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Anti-lipogenic effects of tannic acid on 3T3-L1 adipocytes as well as on rats fed high fat diet (HFD) were investigated. Tannic acid stimulated lipolysis through suppression of the leptin secretion and an increase of glycerol release in a dose dependent manner in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. For animal study, the rats were fed either HFD or HFD supplemented with 1%(w/w) tannic acid (HFDT) for 12 weeks, respectively. Body weight gain, liver weight, and visceral fat mass in rats fed HFDT were significantly decreased compared to those of rats fed HFD. The lipid profiles of HFDT group were significantly decreased compared with HFD group in the serum and liver, whereas fecal total cholesterol excretion was increased in HFDT group. These results suggest that anti-lipogenic effect of tannic acid in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and in rats fed HFD may be due to the stimulation of lipolysis and the reduction of lipid levels.

To study the effect of wheat bran and lactic acid producing bacteria (LAB) on the performance of calves, 20 crossbred male cattle calves (day old), distributed into two groups were fed on calf starters containing 50 or 0% maize grain, along with green berseem ad libitum and milk as per body weight. Each group was further divided into two sub groups and one subgroup of each group was supplemented with mixed culture of LAB (Lactobacillus acidophilus L. casei, L. Jugarti). Milk feeding was discontinued after 8 weeks of age. The addition of culture increased (p<0.05) DM intake in calves receiving grainless diet from eighth week to the thirteenth one. There was about 21% higher body weight gain and 14% lower feed : gain ratio in culture supplemented calves. DM digestibility was significantly lower (p<0.05) in calves getting grain without culture. The crude protein NDF and ADF digestibility was higher (p<0.05) in grainless than the grain fed group. No major change on rumen fermentation pattern among different treatments was found. The concentration of total volatile fatty acids (TVFA) and protozoa count was higher (p<0.05) in grain fed group. However, lactic acid concentration was higher and rumen pH was lower due to culture feeding. The incidence as well as severity of diarrhoea was reduced in culture supplemented group. The results indicate that crossbred calves can be reared successfully on grainless diet and berseen fodder. The performance of calves was also improved by LAB supplementation.

This paper illustrates the analysis and design of a multi-resonant converter applied to an electric vehicle (EV) charger. Thanks to the notch resonant characteristic, the multi-resonant converter achieve soft switching and operate with a narrowed switching frequency range even with a wide output voltage range. These advantages make it suitable for battery charging applications. With two more resonant elements, the design of the chosen converter is more complex than the conventional LLC resonant converter. However, there is not a distinct design outline for the multi-resonant converters in existing articles. According to the analysis in this paper, the normalized notch frequency $f_{r2n}$ and the second series resonant frequency $f_{r3n}$ are more sensitive to the notch capacitor ratio q than the notch inductor ratio k. Then resonant capacitors should be well-designed before the other resonant elements. The peak gain of the converter depends mainly on the magnetizing inductor ratio $L_n$ and the normalized load Q. And it requires a smaller $L_n$ and Q to provide a sufficient voltage gain $M_{max}$ at ($V_{o\_max}$, $P_{o\_max}$). However, the primary current increases with $(L_nQ)^{-1}$, and results in a low efficiency. Then a detailed design procedure for the multi-resonant converter has been provided. A 3.3kW prototype with an output voltage range of 50V to 500V dc and a peak efficiency of 97.3 % is built to verify the design and effectiveness of the converter.

본 논문에서는 현재 표준화가 진행 중인 HEVC(High Efficiency Video Coding)에서 양예측(bi-predictive)모드에 존재하는 문제점을 거론하고 문제점에 대한 해결방안을 제시하여 부호화 효율을 증가시키고 계산 복잡도를 감소시키는 방법을 제안한다. 현재 HM 3.0에서는 양예측을 사용하는 블록에서 L0 움직임 정보와 L1 움직임 정보가 동일해지는 경우가 빈번히 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상이 발생하는 경우 L1의 움직임 벡터를 현재 블록의 주변 블록의 (0,0)이 아닌 L0 움직임 벡터로 대체 하고, 여전히 L0 움직임 벡터와 L1 움직임 벡터가 동일할 경우 예측모드를 단예측으로 변경하여 부호화 성능을 향상 시키고 계산 복잡도를 감소시키는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과, LD(Low-Delay) 실험조건의 경우 기존 대비 복호화기의 수행시간을 2% ~ 5% 감소시키고 부호화 성능을 약 0.3% ~ 0.5% 향상 시켰다.

Cytochrome c_L (Cytc_L) is an essential protein in the process of methanol oxidation in methylotrophs. It receives an electron from the pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) cofactor of methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) to produce formaldehyde. The direct electron transfer mechanism between Cytc_L and MDH remains unknown due to the lack of structural information. To help gain a better understanding of the mechanism, we determined the first crystal structure of heme c containing Cytc_L from the aquatic methylotrophic bacterium Methylophaga aminisulfidivorans MP^T at 2.13 Å resolution. The crystal structure of Ma-Cytc_L revealed its unique features compared to those of the terrestrial homologues. Apart from Fe in heme, three additional metal ion binding sites for Na⁺, Ca⁺, and Fe²⁺ were found, wherein the ions mostly formed coordination bonds with the amino acid residues on the loop (G93-Y111) that interacts with heme. Therefore, these ions seemed to enhance the stability of heme insertion by increasing the loop's steadiness. The basic N-terminal end, together with helix α4 and loop (G126 to Y136), contributed positive charge to the region. In contrast, the acidic C-terminal end provided a negatively charged surface, yielding several electrostatic contact points with partner proteins for electron transfer. These exceptional features of Ma-Cytc_L, along with the structural information of MDH, led us to hypothesize the need for an adapter protein bridging MDH to Cytc_L within appropriate proximity for electron transfer. With this knowledge in mind, the methanol oxidation complex reconstitution in vitro could be utilized to produce metabolic intermediates at the industry level.
