Objective: The aim of the present study was to identify the impact of early weaning of lambs at approximately seven weeks of age onto a herb-clover mix on the liveweight gain of lambs and their dams. Methods: In 2015, twin-born lambs that weighed a minimum of 16 kg (n = 134) were randomly allocated to one of three treatments: i) Early-weaned (58 days after the midpoint of lambing) onto an unrestricted allowance (>1,200 kg dry matter/ha) of herb-clover mix (HerbEW); ii) Lambs+dams unweaned onto an unrestricted allowance of herb-clover mix until conventional weaning (95 days after the midpoint of lambing) (HerbCW); iii) Lambs+dams unweaned onto an unrestricted allowance of grass-clover pasture until conventional weaning (GrassCW). In 2016, twin-born lambs that weighed a minimum of 16 kg (n = 170) were randomly allocated to one of four treatments: i), ii), iii) (similar to 2015) and iv) Lambs+dams unweaned onto a restricted allowance (<1,200 kg dry matter/ha) of grass-clover pasture until conventional weaning (93 days after the midpoint of lambing) (Restricted-GrassCW). Results: In 2015, liveweight gain from L58 to L95 of HerbCW and GrassCW lambs did not differ (p>0.05), but were greater than HerbEW lambs. In 2016, HerbCW lambs had greater (p<0.05) liveweight gains from L51 to L93 than GrassCW followed by HerbEW and Restricted-GrassCW lambs. In 2015, liveweight gain from L58 to L95 of HerbEW ewes were greater than both GrassCW and HerbCW ewes while in 2016, liveweight gain of from L51 to L93 GrassCW and HerbCW ewes did not differ (p>0.05) but were greater (p<0.05) than those of HerbEW and Restricted-GrassCW ewes. Conclusion: These results indicate that when grass-clover pasture supply can be maintained at unrestricted intake level, there may be no benefit of weaning lambs early. However, at restricted pasture conditions lambs can achieve greater liveweight gains when weaned early onto a herb-clover mix.

Two probiotic strains, Lactobacillus johnsonii x-1d-2 and Lactobacillus mucosae x-4w-1, originally isolated from piglet feces, have been demonstrated to possess antimicrobial activities, antibiotic resistances and interleukin-6 induction ability in RAW 267.4 macrophages in our previous study. These characteristics make L. johnsonii x-1d-2 and L. mucosae x-4w-1 good candidates for application in feed probiotics. In this study, soybeal meal, molasses and sodium acetate were selected to optimize the growth medium for cultivation of L. johnsonii x-1d-2 and L. mucosae x-4w-1. These two strains were then freeze-dried and mixed into the basal diet to feed the weaned piglets. The effects of L. johnsonii x-1d-2 and L. mucosae x-4w-1 on the growth performance and fecal microflora of weaned piglets were investigated. The results showed that the bacterial numbers of L. johnsonii x-1d-2 and L. mucosae x-4w-1 reached a maximum of 8.90 and 9.30 log CFU/mL, respectively, when growing in optimal medium consisting of 5.5% (wt/vol) soybean meal, 1.0% (wt/vol) molasses and 1.0% (wt/vol) sodium acetate. The medium cost was 96% lower than the commercial de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe medium. In a further feeding study, the weaned piglets fed basal diet supplemented with freeze-dried probiotic cultures exhibited higher (p<0.05) body weight gain, feed intake, and gain/feed ratio than weaned piglets fed basal diet. Probiotic feeding also increased the numbers of lactobacilli and decreased the numbers of E. coli in the feces of weaned piglets. This study demonstrates that L. johnsonii x-1d-2 and L. mucosae x-4w-1 have high potential to be used as feed additives in the pig industry.

광대역 광통신 시스템에 사용되는 레이저는 우수한 주파수 선택성과 모드 안정성을 가져야한다. DFB(Distributed Feedback) 레이저는 고주파로 전류 변조를 하더라도 발진 주파수의 변화가 적다. 본 연구에서는 1.55um의 파장을 갖는 DFB 레이저에서 굴절률 격자와 이득 격자가 동시에 존재할 때, 오른쪽 거울 면에 반사가 일어나지 않도록 유전막 코팅을 하여 ρ_r=0 이 되도록 하였다. 문턱에서 최소 이득을 필요로 하는 제 1모드에 대하여, 종 방향으로의 발진 모드의 빔 분포와 방사전력비 P_l/P_r를 ρ_l의 위상=π인 경우와 ρ_l의 위상=π/2인 경우에 대하여 비교 검증했다. ρ_l의 위상=π인 경우, 낮은 문턱 전류와 높은 주파수 안정성을 얻기 위해서는, κL이 8보다 커야 한다. ρ_l의 위상=π/2인 경우, 낮은 문턱 전류를 위해서는 κL=1.0이 되도록 해야 하고, 이때 발진 주파수는 격자 주파수와 일치한다. 반사 방지 코팅을 하지 않은, 두 개의 거울 면을 가진 1.55um의 파장을 갖는 DFB 레이저보다, 한쪽 거울 면에 무반사 코팅을 한 경우에 모드 선별성이 훨씬 크다.

Hemodialysis(HD)-associated hypotension is a frequent complication, but it is difficult to manage. Until now, several maneuvers have been tried to prevent the HD-associated hypotension. Of these, the sodium content of dialysate was regarded as an important factor for maintaining blood pressure during HD. In this study, we evaluated the effect of hypertonic dialysate on blood pressure, interdialytic weight gain and the incidence of thirst. The study was done for 6 weeks successively with 3 different groups. Each patient was dialysed with 3 different dialysates for 2 weeks: Group I(Conventional HD: sodium concentration: 137 mEq/L), Group II(Hypertonic HD: 147 mEq/L) and Group III (Sequential HD: from 147 to 140 mEq/L). Hemodynamic parameters(blood pressure, pulse rate and ultrafiltration rate), biochemical parameters(hematocrits, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, osmolality, sodium, potassium, chloride, fasting blood sugar) and complications (interdialytic weight gain & thirsty sensation) were compared among 3 groups. The results were as follows: 1. Decline of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at the time of a 3 hour check during hemodialysis was lower in the Group II than Group I and III (p=0.002; p=0.012). and decline of diastolic blood pressure at the time of a 4 hour check during hemodialysis was lower in the Group II and III than Group I (p=0.04). 2. Incidence of hypotensive episodes during dialysis was significantly lower in Group II than group I (p=0.0287). 3. The ultrafiltration in Group III at the time of 1 hour, 2 hour and 3 hour check during hemodialysis was higher than that in Group I and II at the time of 1 hour, 2 hour and 3 hour check during hemodialysis respectively (p=0.0001; p=0.0001; p=0.0004). 4. Interdialytic weight gain was higher in Group I($3.1{\pm}0.8$) than Group I($2.8{\pm}0.8$) and III ($2.9{\pm}0.9$) (p=0.0422). 5. Hematologic and biochemical results were not significantly different among 3 Groups. 6. Frequency of thirst was different in Group I, II and III, $0.05{\pm}0.12$, $0.41{\pm}0.24$and $0.22{\pm}0.29$ respectively (p=0.0259). The results suggest that hypertonic HD was effective in preventing HD-associated hypotension but interdialytic weight gain and thirst sensations were increased as compared with a conventional method. In this situation, sequential HD seems to be an alternative method to minimizes the side effect of hypertonic HD.

In this paper the linear elastic coupling between a 2 degree of freedom shear-type frame system and a rigid block is analytically and experimentally investigated. As demonstrated by some of the authors in previous papers, it is possible to choose a coupling system able to guarantee advantages, whatever the mechanical characteristics of the frame. The main purpose of the investigation is to validate the analytical model. The nonlinear equations of motion of the coupled system are obtained by a Lagrangian approach and successively numerically integrated under harmonic and seismic excitation. The results, in terms of gain graphs, maps and spectra, represent the ratio between the maximum displacements or drifts of the coupled and uncoupled systems as a function of the system's parameters. Numerical investigations show the effectiveness of the nonlinear coupling for a large set of parameters. Thus experimental tests are carried out to verify the analytical results. An electro-dynamic long-stroke shaker sinusoidally and seismically forces a shear-type 2 d.o.f frame coupled with a rigid aluminium block. The experimental investigations confirm the effectiveness of the coupling as predicted by the analytical model.

This presentation reviewed the dietary vitamin C requirements in main marine finfish culture in Korea. In experiment I, an II-week feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of the different levels of dietary vitamin C on growth, tissue ascorbic acid concentrations and histopathological changes in parrot fish. Casein and gelatin based diets were formulated to contain 0, 60, 120, 240, 480 and 2000mg L-ascorbic acid (AA)kg diets on Ah equivalent basis in the form of L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate (AMP), 60 and 240 mg AA/kg diet as L-ascorbic acid. Broken line analysis of weight gain indicated that the dietary vitamin C requirement of parrot fish is l18$\pm$12 mg AA/kg diet in the form of L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate for maximum growth. In experiment II, a 12-week experiment was conducted to compare L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Ca (AMP-Ca) with L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Na/Ca (AMP-Na/Ca) for supplying the dietary vitamin C for juvenile Korean rockfish Sebastes schlegeli. Fish were fed one of 11 semi-purified diets containing equivalent of 0, 50, 100, 200, 400, and 800 mg ascorbic acid (AA)kg diet in the form of AMP-Ca or AMP-Na/Ca for 12 weeks. Broken line analysis of weight gain indicated that the dietary vitamin C requirement of Korean rockfish is 100 mg AA/kg diet in the form of AMP-Na/Ca, and 117 nag AA/kg diet in the form of AMP-Ca. In experiment III, a 12-week experiment was conducted to study the effects of different dietary levels of vitamin C, L-ascorbyl-2-polyphosphate (ASPP), on growth and tissue vitamin C concentrations in juvenile olive flounder. Fish were fed one of six semi-purified diets containing an equivalent of 0, 25, 50, 75, 150, or 1500 mg ascorbic acid (AA) kg 1 diet in the form of ASPP for 12 weeks. Based on broken line analyses for WG and PER, the optimum dietary levels of vitamin C were 91 and 93 mg AA/kg diet, respectively.

The impact of the gate length (L_g) on the DC and high-frequency characteristics of indium-rich In_0.8Ga_0.2As channel high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) on a 3-inch InP substrate was inverstigated. HEMTs with a source-to-drain spacing (L_SD) of 0.8 ㎛ with different values of L_g ranging from 1 ㎛ to 19 nm were fabricated, and their DC and RF responses were measured and analyzed in detail. In addition, a T-shaped gate with a gate stem height as high as 200 nm was utilized to minimize the parasitic gate capacitance during device fabrication. The threshold voltage (V_T) roll-off behavior against L_g was observed clearly, and the maximum transconductance (g_{m_max}) improved as L_g scaled down to 19 nm. In particular, the device with an L_g of 19 nm with an L_SD of 0.8 mm exhibited an excellent combination of DC and RF characteristics, such as a g_{m_max} of 2.5 mS/㎛, On resistance (R_ON) of 261 Ω·㎛, current-gain cutoff frequency (f_T) of 738 GHz, and maximum oscillation frequency (f_max) of 492 GHz. The results indicate that the reduction of L_g to 19 nm improves the DC and RF characteristics of InGaAs HEMTs, and a possible increase in the parasitic capacitance component, associated with T-shap, remains negligible in the device architecture.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of breeder age and stocking density on performance, carcass characteristics and some stress parameters (H-L ratio, serum glucose, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, tonic immobility test (TI), antibody production, relative asymmetry (RA) and external appearances). This experiment was carried out with 705 one-day old male broiler chicks (Ross 308) obtained from three different ages of broiler breeder (32, 48 and 61 wks). Each age group was randomly divided into two stocking density groups (11.9 and 17.5 broilers per $m^2$) with 5 replications per group. The experimental period was 6 weeks. Broilers from 32 wk-old breeders had lower initial weight (p<0.001), body weight gain of the first 3 week of rearing (p<0.01), the percentage of abdominal fat (p<0.001) and serum cholesterol level (p<0.01); higher percentage of gizzard (p<0.01) and longer TI duration (p<0.001) than those from 48 and 61 wk-old breeders. Broilers reared at 17.5 b/m2 had lower final BW, body weight gain, feed consumption, feather condition and foot health (p<0.001), higher percentage of heart, H-L ratio, serum glucose and cholesterol levels (p<0.001), and longer TI durations (p<0.001). There were no significant interactions in examined parameters except for feed to gain ratio between breeder age and stocking density.

광섬유 통신에서 넓은 대역폭 증폭을 이루기 위하여 광대역 증폭기가 필요하다. 증폭기의 대역폭을 넓히기 위해 C-대역과 L-대역 EDFA를 결합하여 사용하는 등의 여러 가지 방법이 제안되고 있다. 그 중 L-대역을 결합하는 방법이 실제 시스템 적용에서 가장 즉시 이용가능한 방법이라 할 수 있다. L-대역 EDFA의 경우 상대적으로 이득이 낮으며 효율이 떨어진다. 이득이나 효율을 높이기 위해서 FBG, 양방향 펌핑(bidirectional pump), 그리고 이중경로(double-pass) 구조를 이용하는 방법이 제안되었다. (중략)
