Purpose: This study examined the effects of action observational training to improve the gait function for patients with stroke. Methods: The participants were divided into two groups: right hemiplegia group (n=12) and left hemiplegia group (n=12). All groups received conventional therapy for five sessions for 30 minutes, each for three weeks. Left and right hemiplegia group practiced additional action observational training for five sessions for 20 minutes each for three weeks. They participated in three weeks of action observational training coupled with immediate physical practice (intervention), followed by a final assessment. The duration of each action observation video sequence was 10 minutes, followed immediately by practice of the observed motor skill (10 minutes). The gait velocity, cadence, swing time, step length, and BOS (base of support) were examined using the GAITRite system. Results: The results of this study showed significant improvement in the gait function. The outcomes of the gait abilities from gait velocity, cadence, swing time, step length of the affected side, and BOS (base of support) were improved significantly in the right hemiplegia group (p<0.05). In the left hemiplegia group, there was no significant improvement in the gait velocity, cadence, and BOS except for the swing time and step length of the affected side. The left and right group comparisons between the groups were not significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Action observation training improves the gait function. These results suggest that action observational training is feasible and suitable for stroke patients.

A study was carried out to evaluate the incidences and causes of bovine mastitis in Tanzanian shorthorn zebu (Bos indicus) in the traditional sector and crossbred cows (Bos taurus${\times}$Bos indicus) in the dairy ranching sector, both found under the extensive range management system. Management practices were evaluated through a survey study using structured questionnaires. A total of 120 lactating cows (60 cows from each sector) were screened for the disease using the California Mastitis Test (CMT). Confirmatory tests used for infected cows included; the Direct Microscopic Somatic Cell Count (DMSCC), culture, bacteriological and biochemical laboratory assays. Survey results showed that management practices were generally very poor in both sectors with 84% of the surveyed herds being kept and milked under very unhygienic environmental conditions. The level of infection was higher in the crossbred cows (5% clinical and 38.3% sub-clinical mastitis) and lower in the zebu cows with only sub-clinical mastitis (23.3%). Crossbred cows had (p<0.05) higher somatic cell counts than zebu cows. The four highest-ranking bacterial isolates in order of importance were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus agalactiae and Bacillus spp. It was concluded that bovine mastitis under the extensive management system in Tanzania was a result of poor management practices and that zebu cows were more resistant to the diseases than crossbred cows.

본 논문에서는 소형 PEM(Proton Exchange Membrane) 연료전지 스택의 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 제어에 관하여 소개한다. 연료전지 제어의 핵심 기술인 스택 내부의 수분 관리는 부하에 의해 요구되는 연료와 온도에 따른 냉각용 공기의 유량을 적절하게 조절하고, 잉여수분을 스택으로부터 배출시킴으로써 성취된다. 이러한 주변장치(BOS: Balance of Stack)의 제어는 시스템의 안정적인 운전을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이기 때문에 이를 정확하게 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 최적 운전조건에서 공기유량과 퍼지주기를 측정하고 이를 바탕으로 BOS를 제어함으로써 BOS의 소비전력을 최소화하여 연료 효율을 향상시킬 수 있었으며, 이를 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 개발된 제어기는 시스템의 운전 안정성을 향상시켜 소형 연료전지 스택의 제어에 널리 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the balance differences between skilled players and less-skilled players during Hakdariseogi motion of Keumgang Poomsae in Taekwondo. To achieve the study goal, total of 10 Taekwondo athletes; 5 skilled players(S, body mass: $67.0{\pm}5.7$ kg, height: $174.0{\pm}4.8$ cm, age: $20.0{\pm}2.0$ yrs) and 5 less-skilled players(LS, body mass: $73.0{\pm}4.9$ kg, height: $176.4{\pm}6.1$ cm, age: $20.8{\pm}1.3$ yrs) participated in this study. A three-dimensional motion analysis with 8 infrared cameras and one force plate whose sampling frequency as 30 Hz and 300 Hz, respectively, were performed. Participants' motion were divided into three phases which were preparation phase(P1), performing phase(P2) and maintaining phase(P3). The range and velocities of COP, the range and RMS of ground reaction torque and displacement between COM and center of BOS of each phase were computed. In this study, at P1 and P3 which were double and single stance, respectively, the range and M-L velocities of COP revealed significantly higher in LS compared with those of S(p<.05). At P2 which was single stance, LS indicated significantly higher in range of COP and ground reaction torque, and M-L velocities of COP than those of S(p<.05). The significantly shorter displacement between COM and center of BOS, however, was found in LS compared with that of S(p<.05). The results from our study indicated that S revealed more stable performance and a better posture control ability during performing Hakdariseogi motion.

The objective of the present study was to examine whether yaks possess any adaptive mechanisms of nitrogen (N) metabolism to survive in the harsh foraging environment of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. A grazing experiment on native alpine meadows was conducted to determine availability of herbage biomass and body weight (BW) change of yaks over the year, followed by two indoor feeding trials to investigate adaptation mechanisms of N metabolism in yaks fed at similar intake level to grazing conditions. Three castrated males of each of three genotypes; yak (Bos grunniens), indigenous cattle (Bos taurus) and their crossbred - cattleyak (Bos taurus male${\times}$Bos grunniens female), were used in the housed trials. Results showed that: i) Monthly herbage biomass production and daily grazing intakes by yaks over the year ranged from 220 to 4,664 kg DM per ha, and 1.90 to 8.50 kg DM, respectively. For about seven months each year, yaks suffer from malnutrition as a result of inadequate pasture conditions; ii) Urinary N excretion and N retention by yaks were significantly affected by feeding level, and yaks had a lower (p<0.05) average daily urinary N excretion (0.39 g/kg $BW^{0.75}$) and a greater (p<0.05) N retention (-0.09 g/kg $BW^{0.75}$) than indigenous cattle (0.47 and -0.16 g/kg $BW^{0.75}$, respectively). Fasting daily urinary N excretion was greater (p<0.05) for indigenous cattle than yaks (353 vs. 248 mg/kg $BW^{0.75}$). Purine derivative N excretion and purine derivative N index (PNI) increased with increasing feeding level, while the value of PNI was greater (p<0.05) for yaks and cattleyak (0.11 and 0.12, respectively) than for indigenous cattle (0.09) during the feeding trials. These results suggest that yaks could rely, in part, on the recycling of N to adapt to the harsh forage environment on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.), were used in the housed trials.

Thirty-one multiparous Bos indicus${\times}$Bos taurus cows were offered concentrate supplements based on (1) 2 kg wheat bran; (2) 4 kg wheat bran; and (3) concentrate (30 maize: 67 wheat bran) at 0.5 kg per 1.0 kg milk produced, in a one year study in India. All supplements also contained 2 parts of a mineral mixture and 1 part salt. Cows were allocated to treatments at calving on parity (2nd and 3rd calf) with 13, 8 and 10 cows respectively in treatments 1, 2 and 3. They were individually fed for whole lactation, the basal diet being ad libitum berseem clover plus 2 kg wheat straw in the cool season/winter (period 1) and chopped maize in summer (period 2). Diets with berseem offered TDN and CP contents of 67.6, 18.2; 65.5, 16.8; and 67.5, 16.8 percent; and with maize fodder 62.6, 12.0; 62.6, 12.5; and 63.3, 12.5 percent for treatments 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Total dry matter (DM) intakes (1) 9.9 kg, (2) 10.9 kg and (3) 11.1 kg DM/day and intake of nutrients (TDN, CP) increased with level of supplementation (p<0.01), but effects of treatment on animal performance were not significant. Cow milk yields averaged (1) 7.9 kg, (2) 8.1 kg and (3) 8.8 kg milk/day (p>0.05) for lactation lengths of 252, 270 and 220 days (p>0.05) and cows gained +7.3; +8.1; and +12.0 kg respectively over their lactation (p>0.05). Wheat bran was used effectively as the sole energy component in concentrates for lactating dairy cows. Its use could potentially reduce feed costs and demands for cereal grain. Reduced concentrate levels may be considered if green forages of high nutrient content are fed ad libitum. Associated economic advantages or disadvantages require further evaluation.

This study was carried out to find out how space allowance affect the social behavior of Korean native cattle (Bos taurus coreanae) steers. Twelve Korean native cattle (Bos taurus coreanae) steers were used as subjects, each of which was 30-month-old and observation period was from June to July 2003. Five (T1) and seven (T2) steers were allotted to two pens of $5m{\times}10m$ in a building with slate roof and open sides respectively. They were fed at 09:00 h and 16:00 h, twice a day. The behaviors of steers were recorded from 06:00 h to 17:00 h, using two color CCD cameras (Samsung SDC-411, Korea), one B/W CCD cameras (Samsung SBC-340, Korea), one multiplexer (Samsung SDM-081, Korea) and a time lapse VCR (Samsung SRV-30, Korea). The behaviors of each steer were recorded every 2 min using an instantaneous point sampling method. While the mean percentage of time budget in WA of T1 was lower than that of T2 (p<0.05), the mean percentage of time budget in SF of T1 was higher than that of T2 (p<0.05). When it gets hot, steers in T1 rested from 10:00 h to 14:00 h when it gets cool, showing 40~80% of LD rate while steers in T2 rested from 12:00 h, when it very hot to 17:00 h, showing 20~50% of LD rate, which is relatively low. Steers in T1 were fed from 06:00 h to 08:00 h when it was cool and from 16:00 h to 18:00 h, showing 20~45% of EA rate while steers in T2 were fed from 08:00 h to 14:00 h when it was hot, showing 25~50% of EA rate. In conclusion, it turned out that the number of steers affected their social behavior, and T1 was better environment than T2 in terms of welfare.

목 적 : 두경부암의 양성자 치료 시 BoS frame ($Q-fix^{TM}$)을 사용하면 후사방향의 빔 조사 시 couch 와 snout 사이 충돌을 피하면서 Airgap 을 최소화할 수 있다. 이는 couch 에서 BoS frame 을 얼마나 많이 extended 시켰는지가 각 치료 빔 방향의 Airgap (환자와 빔 사출구 거리)을 결정하기 때문이다. 이에 본원에서는 BoS frame의 제한점을 개선하기 위하여 고정장치를 자체 제작하였고, 제작한 고정장치의 유용성을 본 연구를 통해 선량학적으로 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 양성자치료를 받은 Brain Cancer환자 3명의 빔 각도 중 후사방향의 빔 6개를 선택하였다. 현재 치료계획 되어 있는 환자를 기존 방식대로 BoS frame만 사용했을 때 각 환자마다 왼쪽후사방향, 오른쪽 후사방향의 빔에서 충돌을 피할 수 있는 snout 위치를 측정하고 이 위치에 따른 Airgap과 Lateral penumbra 영역을 계산하고 DVH값을 분석하였다. 같은 환자의 동일한 빔에서 자체 제작한 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용하여 제조회사에서 권고한 set-up 사항보다 BoS frame을 21 cm superior방향으로 set-up을 진행하였고, 그 후 충돌을 피할 수 있는 snout위치를 측정하고 이 위치에서 Airgap과 Lateral penumbra영역을 계산하고 DVH값을 분석하였다. 결 과 : 자체 제작 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용함에 따라 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 snout 위치 즉 Airgap을 각각 각도별로 5.4 cm ~ 15.4 cm 줄일 수 있었다. Lateral penumbra는 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용하면서 Airgap을 감소시킴에 따라 각도별로 선량분포곡선에서 왼쪽, 오른쪽 부분을 0.1 cm ~ 0.4 cm 감소시킬 수 있었다. 자체 제작한 BoS frame 고정장치 사용함으로써 감소한 Lateral penumbra에 의해 정상조직에 들어가는 선량을 비교해보면 Lt.eyeball, Lt.lens, Lt.hippocampus, Lt.cochlea, Rt.eyeball, Rt.lens, Rt.cochlea, Rt. hippocampus, stem에 들어가는 선량이 0 CGE ~ 4.4 CGE 감소한 것을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 : 두경부암의 양성자 치료 시 자체제작 BoS frame 고정장치를 사용함에 따라 사용하지 않았을 때보다 후사방향의 빔에서 snout 위치를 감소시킬 수 있었고, Airgap을 줄여 결과적으로 Lateral penumbra를 감소시켜 정상조직에 불필요한 선량을 최소화 할 수 있었다. 이에 본 연구를 통해 자체제작 BoS frame 고정장치의 유용성을 선량학적으로 평가한 결과, 후사방향의 빔을 사용하는 두경부암 환자의 양성자 치료 시 유용하게 사용 될 것으로 기대된다. 마지막으로 두경부암 뿐만 아니라 다른 부위 양성자 치료에서도 Airgap을 최소한 할 수 있는 방법을 고안하여 Lateral penumbra를 줄일 수 있는 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.
