  • This study was carried out investigate the effects of dietary addition of mineral and sugar on the dry matter intake, daily gain, yield grade and quality grade of Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) steers. Three diets fed to steers included a control diet (concentrate mix and rice straw : C) and two treatments diet (control diet + black sugar 100 g + mineral 100 g : T1, and control diet + black sugar 150 g + mineral 50 g : T2). The results are summarized as follows; total feeding intake, body weight gain and daily gain did not show significant differences among the three treatments. Cold carcass weight was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2 than in the other two treatments (C and T1). There was no significant difference in yield traits of back fat thickness, longissimus muscle area and yield grade among the three treatments (C, T1 and T2). Marbling score showed significantly (p<0.05) higher in order of T2 (5.67) > T1 (4.67) > C (3.67). Meat color, fat color, texture and maturity were no significant difference. Quality grade was higher in T2 than in the other two treatments (C and T1), but there was no significant difference. The results show that marbling score and quality grade of Hanwoo can be increased by high dry matter intake with feeding addition of mineral and sugar.

  • A marine geological investigation of the glass sand deposit in the beach along the west coast of Ahnmyeon Island, South Chung Cheong Province, Korea was carried out to solve the problen of sand material migration, textural properties of the sands and the glass sand reserve for future exploitation. Several bos coring analyses by means of the internal sedimentary structure.i.e., cross- stratification show significantly that most sands are moving and accumulation along the mean vector direction of $N20^{\circ}E-N60^{\circ}$ E in the area investigated. The average mean size of the sand sediments in the area studied ranges from 0.212mm to 0.275mm. The mechanism of sand migration in the area is considered to be interplay between longshore drift and flood tidal current. The sorting value of the sands ranges from 0.24 to 0.50. Therefore, these sand sediments are characteristic to be "well sorted". The average chemical composition of the glass sand in the area is the following: $SiO\_2$:-90.8%, $Al_2O_3$: -2.18%, $Fe_2O_3$:-0.73%, CaO:-1.79. The binocular microscope examination of the sands show that most of the sands are characteristically ice- clear quartz in mineral composition and their count percentage is mostly 92% or 96%.

  • Innovation system is a framework concept that can be classified in many ways, namely-national, regional, sectoral and technological. Regardless of classification, all these systems have some common features and characteristics as a system. Before the innovation system concept, Mongolia developed and implemented a system to maintain nation's capacity to acquire, absorb and disseminate technologies like other countries. There were two important practices in the system development. Firstly, Mongolia modified and implemented a system "ShBOS" (meant "Invention and Innovative Idea System") that met its unique features to create innovative culture in the nation. Secondly, newly emerged ICT sector was quickly scaled up to be able to export technological products. The main objective of this article is to study modern experience of developing the national innovation system in Mongolia, assess current state of the system, innovation awareness and readiness, and carry out recommendations on its improvement with particular focus on the capacity of ICT sector as a pilot sector. The paper suggests that the above mentioned two achievements can be applied for developing the national innovation system through technological innovation system approach.

  • This study was conducted to analyze arthropod community patterns in smallrice fields managed by different cultural methods [Conventional and Low Input Sustainable Agriculture(LISA)] in Suwon in 1995 and 1996. A half of nitrogen fertilizers and a quarter of pesticides were applied in the LISA field compared to in the conventional field. Total 15 orders and 43 families of arthropods were collected in two years. No differences were found in arthropod abundance and arthropod species composition between two differently practiced fields. The arthropod community was analyzed using guild categories. The arthropods were found in the order of 'pest(phytophag)>natural enemy>non-pest' in their densities. The pest species were mainly Homoptera and dominated by Delphacidae (Nilaparvata lugens Stal and Sogatella furcifera Horvath). They constituted > 80% of pest abundance. The spider was the most dominant group in the natural enemy and constituted > 90% of natural enemy abundance. Hunting spiders constituted > 60% of spider abundance and were dominated by Pirata subpiraticus Bos. et Str.(Lycosidae). Pachygnatha clerki Sundevall(Tetragnathidae), Gnathonarium dentatum Weider and Ummeliata angulituberis Oi(Erigonidae) were the dominant species in webbing spiders.

  • LCOE of 11 Korean PV projects, total capacity of 44 MW, were calculated for each project being larger than 1 MW respectively. 9 out of 11 projects were constructed in 2008 under FIT scheme revealed that average LCOE is 600 Korean Won per kilowatt-hour and it becomes reduced to 348 Korean Won per kilowatt-hour for 2 projects that are constructed under RPS scheme in 2012. During the period between 2008 and 2012, installation cost per megawatt became 55% of 2008 value with operation and maintenance cost lowered to 80% while LCOE became only 58% due to reduced project size and lower irradiation for later projects. However, it is found that the ratio of LCOE / unit installation cost looks relatively constant, so that it can be used as an auxiliary parameter to gauge learning effect of BOS portion of a PV project.

  • Objective: This review consolidates the available information on the socio-economic and ecological significance of Mithun in the lives of ethnic communities in the Eastern Himalaya. Methods: Standard guidelines were followed for the review and data collection was carried out at three stages; literature search, literature screening, and literature review and analysis. Results: Records indicate a long association of Mithun with the ethnic groups. Mithun serves as a symbol of pride and local currency for barter trade in the ethnic society. Its utilities range from being used as a bride price to settling legal disputes. Several cultural festivals and local ceremonies are celebrated around this bovine. Due to its semi-wild nature, this animal also has an ecological role to conserve broad leaf sub-tropical forests. However, it remains neglected and has not received policy attention, leading to a stagnated growth. The institutions for Mithun research and development are also weak. Furthermore, the species is under threat from new diseases and habitat alteration triggered by climate change. Conclusion: Founded on the current state of knowledge, there is a need for institutional development, strengthening institutional linkages, and promoting regional cooperation among Mithun rearing countries for further research and development of this unique cattle.

  • Lactobacillus amylovorus are known to exist in the intestinal flora of healthy cattle or pigs. The L. amylovorus strain 1394N20 was isolated from the feces of the Hanwoo calf (Bos taurus coreanae). The genome of strain 1394N20 consists of a single circular chromosome (2,176,326 bp) with overall guanine + cytosine content of 37.8 mol%. Moreover, 2,281 protein-coding sequences, 15 rRNAs, and 65 tRNAs genes were identified in the chromosome based on the results of annotation. The bacterium has a gene encoding endoglucanase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes the 1,4-β-D-glycosidic linkages in cellulose, hemicellulose, lichenin, and cereal β-D-glucans. Genomic sequencing of L. amylovorus strain 1394N20 reveals the immense potential of the strain as a probiotic with nutrient digestibility.

  • This case report is about hemolymph nodes found in a dairy cow whose function is still not fully elucidated. A 4-month Holstein cow presented severe respiratory symptoms and hematochezia for a while with respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis. Coccidiosis was diagnosed and treated immediately, but the cow died from respiratory acidosis and metabolic alkalosis. At necropsy, no abnormal appearance in thoracic and peritoneal organs was observed, but hemolymph nodes were observed being multifocally stuck on omasum serosa and the subcutaneous fascia of abdominal region, and the larger dark red lymph nodes were found along the omasum great curvature. Microscopically, lymphoid depletion and lymphadenitis in the lymph nodes were examined to point systemic infection, and in the hemolymph node, multifocally demarcated pale lesions with macrophage infiltration and fibrin deposition nearby subcapsular sinus. In subcapsular sinus of the hemolymph node, rod to linear gram-negative bacteria were found. Through this study, we might conclude that the hemolymph node is involved in pathogen phagocytosis.
