This study was carried out to investigate the effect of application time and amount of rice bran on rice yield, weed occurrence, and chemical change in water as applied at the level of 1.8 Mg/ha (1.8RB) and 3.5 Mg/ha (3.5RB) through field and pot experiment. $Nitrate(NO_3\;^-)$ in the surface water and the percolated water through pot were high in application of 3.5RB, and similar in application of 1.8RB as compared to chemical fertilization. Electric conductivity in surface water were higher by application of rice bran until 25 days after rice bran application. $NH_4-N$ in soil were lower in application of rice bran, and $NO_3-N$ in soil were higher in 3.5RB at tillering stage and panicle formation stage of rice. Rice bran application(3.5RB) showed 68% of weed occurrence as compared to that of chemical fertilization. Rice yield were increased by heavy application of rice bran; 4.41 Mg/ha in 1.8RB and 4.87 Mg/ha in 3.5RB, and top dressing of nitrogen at panicle formation stage caused to increased rice yield by $14{\sim}15%$. Rice yield was also increased by early application of rice bran.

Purpose: Fatigue, energy loss, feeling of helplessness, poor appetite, pain besides general weakness are major symptoms presented to terminally ill cancer patients. These symptoms are similar to those that appeared with adrenal insufficiency. Also, for terminally ill cancer patients who are hospitalized for palliative care, opioid agents are prescribed to control moderate to severe pain. We studied the relationship of opioid agents and adrenal insufficiency. Methods: From November 2013 through June 2014, we monitored the serum level of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS, serum) in 55 cancer patients who were over 18 years old and were treated at a hospice center. We also checked the treatment period and dosage of opioid agents. Results: The DHEAS level, treatment period and dosage of opioid agents did not have significant correlation. Correlation between the serum cortisol level and the opioid agent treatment period was not significant either, but the serum cortisol level was positively correlated with the dosage of opioid agents (P value 0.0322). Conclusion: This study did not identify a novel link between treatment period, dosage of opioid agents and adrenal insufficiency. But, the DHEAS level was mostly below the normal level in patients who were treated with opioid agents.

Capacity of layered lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide ($LiNi_{1-x-y}Co_xMn_yO_2$) cathode material can increase by raising the charge cut-off voltage above 4.3 V vs. $Li/Li^+$, but it is limited due to anodic instability of conventional electrolyte. We have been screening and evaluating various sulfone-based compounds of dimethyl sulfone (DMS), diethyl sulfone (DES), ethyl methyl sulfone (EMS) as electrolyte additives for high-voltage applications. Here we report improved cycling performance of $LiNi_{0.5}Co_{0.2}Mn_{0.3}O_2$ cathode by the use of dimethyl sulfone (DMS) additive under an aggressive charge condition of 4.6 V, compared to that in conventional electrolyte, and cathode-electrolyte interfacial reaction behavior. The cathode with DMS delivered discharge capacities of $198-173mAhg^{-1}$ over 50 cycles and capacity retention of 84%. Surface analysis results indicate that DMS induces to form a surface protective film at the cathode and inhibit metal-dissolution, which is correlated to improved high-voltage cycling performance.

Bacterial resistance to antibiotics and residues of antibiotics in poultry products have encouraged the use of probiotics, prebiotic substrates, and synbiotic combinations of prebiotics and probiotics as alternative approaches to the use of antibiotics in poultry. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of a new probiotic CS61 culture on growth performance, feed conversion efficiency, and safety in broiler chickens, and to evaluate its value as an alternative for antibiotics used as a feed additive. Two dosages of CS61 culture (0.1% and 1%) were fed to chickens for 28 days. The results showed that terminal body weight and daily weight gain in the treatment groups increased in a dose-dependent manner when compared with the control group. Dietary supplementation with CS61 culture also improved feed conversion rate compared to the control group. There were no treatment-related toxic effects in terms of clinical findings, mortality, necropsy findings, hematology, or serum biochemistry parameters in any group tested. The nitric oxide assay showed that CS61 peptide has a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 cells. The results of this experiment indicated that dietary supplementation of CS61 culture may improve growth performance and feed conversion efficiency in chickens through its anti-inflammatory effect.

The structural, electrical properties of the electrolytic capacitors were examined. By the addition of additives to hydrochloric acid solution increased the dielectric aluminum surface layer. For etch tunnels formed in hydrochloric acid, the away and density of the tunnels was not uniform, while for those formed in hydrochloric acid with additives the distribution presented relative uniformity. When the etched surface formed in hydrochloric acid with $5\%$ ethylene glycol, the enlargement of specific surface area was more effective.

리륨이차전지의 용량의 증가를 위한 연구에 많은 노력과 재원이 투자되고 잇는 반면에, 용량과 성능증가 추세가 주춤한 최근에는 전지의 안전성에 큰 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그 이유는 전지의 성능 못지않게 안전성에 대한 의구심이 꾸준히 제기되고 있고, 대용량 고출력전지의 대표적인 예이 자동차용 전지에는 안전성에 대한 보장이 선결되어야 하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 유기 전해액의 발화 및 폭발을 방지할수 있는 방법 중에서 첨가제에 의한 방법을 이용하여 그 첨가제의 전기화학적 특성 및 열적 안정성을 살펴보고 리튬이온전지에의 적용 가능성을 알아보았다. 특히 포스파젠 화합물들을 소량(1~5wt.%)첨가하여, 양극소재의 발열온도를 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상 지연시키고, 사이클 특성의 향상 및 용량의 증가도 실현함으로서 포스파젠 화합물의 유효성을 증명하였다. 아래의 Fig1은 Hexamethoxy cyclo tri-phosphazene(HMTP) 이라는 화합물의 난연성을 표기한 것인데, $270^{\circ}C$ 부근의 background peak가 $340^{\circ}C$까지 지연됨을 보여주고 있다.

저수지에서 퇴사가 저수지에 미치는 영향으로는 저수용량의 감소로 인한 용수공급량 저하, 상류하천 수위 상승에 따른 홍수소통능력 감소로 인한 배수위 상승, 퇴적토의 용출에 의한 부영양화 촉진 및 중금속 퇴적 등의 수질변화, 퇴사로 인한 어류서식처 환경의 변화 등이 있다. 또한, 저수지로 유입되는 유사에 대한 정확한 예측은 댐의 계획 및 운영과 관련된 저수지 퇴사관계를 이해하는데 필수 요소이다. 즉, 저수지 퇴사에 관한 예측 자료는 댐 설계시에 장래 50년 및 100년 후의 저수위-저수용량 관계곡선을 결정하고, 댐의 사수위를 결정하는데 중요한 기본자료이며, 또한 댐 건설후의 저수지내로 유입되는 유사의 공간적 퇴적분포를 예측하고, 기능별 저수지 용량배분, 본체 및 취수구 등 각종 수리구조물의 안정, 저수지 상류 퇴사로 인한 홍수위의 상승 등 저수지 제 기능의 적정 관리를 계획하는데 필요한 기본자료이기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 내에서의 2차원적 하상변동을 해석하기 위한 퇴사 모델링 방법으로 2차원 정상 및 동수역학적인 유사이송과 하상변동을 모의할 수 있으며, 침식과 포착 및 이송 그리고 퇴적의 각 단계에 따라 세부모의가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 RMA2와 SMS 프로그램과 상호 연계가 자유로운 SED-2D 모형을 이용하여 댐 축조로 인한 저수지내의 퇴사거동을 모의한 후 하상변동을 분석하였다.

The effects of the pretreatment with coagulants on the recovery efficiency of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate, PHB) synthesized in Alcaligenes eutrophus were investigated. Al-base or Fe-base coagulants, and the dispersion method of 30% hypochlorite solution and chloroform were used as coagulants and PHB recovery method, respectively The recovery efficiency of PHB from the cells harvested with Al-base coagulants at the range from 0 to 1000 mg-Al/L was similar to that from cells harvested without the coagulants. At these conditions, the concentrations of residual aluminium in the purified PHB were below 250 mg-Al/kg-PHB, indicating the effect of residual aluminum on the characteristics of the purified PHB can be insignificant. When the dosage of coagulants was over 1000 mg-Al/L, the PHB recovery remarkably decreased with increasing the coagulant dosage. However, the PHB recovery could be enhanced by the use of 50% hypochlorite solution instead of 30% hypochlorite solution. Even though the reduction of PHB recovery efficiency was not found by using Fe-base coagulants, the purified PHB was stained pale red due to residual iron, These results suggest that the use of Al-base coagulants did not exert bad influence on neither PHB recovery efficiency and PHB purity.
