Present study was conducted to investigate effects of microbial phytase in laying hen diets on utilization of non-phytate phosphorus(NPP) whose levels were adjusted to be adequate or lower than that of NRC requirements. Birds of control roup were fed a diet containing 0.275% NPP and 3.4% Ca, satisfying the NRC(1994) feeding standard. bird on T1, T2 and T3 were allowed to eat diets containing NPP at 100, 80 and 60%, respectively, of Control group, and 4.0% Ca level along with a microbial phytase added at a level of 300 DPU. Three hundred and sixty, ISA Brown layers, 23-week-old, divided into four treatment groups with three replications per treatment and 30 layers per replication were fed the diets for 12 weeks. Levels of feed intake were not different among the groups, The egg mass/feed intake ratio appeared better in T2 group by about 8%, though without a statistical significance, compared to that of control. Egg production fate tended to be improved over the control group by feeding the 100%(T1) and 80%(T2) NPP diets added with phytase, with a significant difference for T2(p<0.05). Mean egg weight and egg shell quality, measured by breaking strength and thickness of the egg shell, of the T2 group tended to show numerically better, without a significance than those of control. Furthermore, birds of the T2 group showed higher calcium and phosphorus contents in tibia by about 9%(p<0.05) than the control. Overall performances of birds in T1 appeared better than those of control, but tended to be lower than those of the T2. The birds in T3 performed similar to the those of the other dietary groups except the relatively low tibia calcium level. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that supplementation of microbial phytase at a level of 300 DPU was effective to spare about 20% of NPP in laying hen diets without any adverse effects on production performances and bone quality.

Here, we describe an efficient and rapid protocol for the micropropagation of Thymus pallidus Cosson ex Batt., a very rare medicinal and aromatic plant in Morocco. After seed germination, we tested the effect of different macronutrients, cytokinins alone or in combination with gibberellic acid (GA₃) or auxins, on T. pallidus plantlet growth. We found that Margara macronutrients (N₃₀K) had the best effect on the in vitro development of the plantlets. The addition of 0.93 μM/L 1,3-diphenylurea (DPU), 0.46 μM/L adenine (Ad), and 0.46 and 0.93 μM/L kinetin (Kin) resulted in the best shoot multiplication and elongation. In addition, the combination of 0.46 μM/L Kin, DPU, or Ad with gibberellic acid, in particular, 0.46 μM/L Ad + 0.58 μM/L GA₃ and 0.46 μM/L Kin + 1.15 μM/L GA₃, led to better bud and shoot multiplication. Moreover, the integration of the combinations of 0.46 μM/L Kin and auxins, namely 0.46 μM/L Kin + 2.85 μM/L indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 0.46 μM/L Kin + 2.85 or 5.71 μM/L indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and 0.46 μM/L Kin + 0.3 or 0.57 μM/L 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), in the culture medium led to better root development and optimized aerial growth. Finally, the in vitro plants from the medium containing N₃₀K + 0.46 μM/L Kin + 2.85 μM/L IAA were successfully acclimatized; these plants served as a source for repeating in vitro culture.

We implemented DPU(Double-Pass Gain-Clamped) L-band EDFA for highly efficient amplification. A lasing signal generated within the linear cavity, can minimize the fluctuation of surviving channels when several WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) channels are added or dropped. The new method measuring the characteristics of transient response of surviving channels quantitatively is suggested. It is to measure the ratio of lasing output before add or drop to that after add or drop. We investigated dynamic characteristics by using this method according to lasing wavelengths and propagation directions within the cavity. Experimental measurements show that the short lasing wavelength and backward propagation direction is the best condition for small fluctuation of surviving channels.

This paper proposes a new SoC (System-on-Chip)-based automatic compensation circuit (ACC) for 5GHz low noise amplifier (LNA). This circuit is extremely useful for today's RF IC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) devices in a complete RF transceiver environment. The circuit contains RF BIST (Built-ln Self-Test) circuit, Capacitor Mirror Banks (CMB) and digital processing unit (DPU). The ACC automatically adjusts performance of 5GHz LNA by the processor in the SoC transceiver when the LNA goes out of the normal range of operation.

The effects of microbial phutase on laying performance and phosphorus utilization were examined at different levels of dietary nonphosphorus(NPP) in 320 23-week-old Hy-line brown hens for 12weeks. Diets were formulated 0.275%(T1), 0.220%(T2), 0.165%(T3) of NPP levels, and supplemental microbial phytase was 300DPU/kg diet constantly. Conventional diet(C) was formulated 0.275% NPP level without microbial phytase. Egg production and egg mass were higher in T2 than the others (p<0.05), and average egg weight was higher in T1 than the other (p<0.05). Egg productivity was tended to increase with supplemental phytase compared to conventional diet. Daily feed intake a hen also increased in T2 (p<0.05). Feed conversion ratio was improved slightly without significant difference. Eggshell breaking strength and thickness were not different significantly among the treatments. Haugh unit and yolk color were also not different. Calcium and phosphorus retention in body increased in T2 (p<0.05), but dry matter and nitrogen retention were not different significantly. Differences in nitrogen and calcium excretions were not found among the treatments. But phosphorus excretion decreased in order of dietary phosphorus levels with supplement phytase compared to C (p<0.05). Tibial ash, calcium and phosphorus were similar among the treatments. In conclusion, supplemental microbial phytase in laying diet may help to utilize phytase phosphorus, and could decrease NPP intake.

On the basis of our previous research results concerning a batch Teflon coating process on the surface of basalt fiber which has superior fire-resistance and chemical resistance, we have tried to set up suitable operating conditions for continuous polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) coating process. The basalt fiber was continuously pre-treated with 7.5 wt%(6.5% of DPU) of triethoxytrifluoropropylsilane(TMTFPS) and then coated with 20 wt% of PTFE dispersions containing 0.25 wt% of penetrating agent sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfo succinate (DOS-Na) to get the highest tensile and loop strengths. After dipping process, the PTFE coated basalt fiber was dried under 2 m drying chamber at $120^{\circ}C$ with 12 m/min of winding speed and consequently sintered under 2 m sintering chamber at $380^{\circ}C$ for 40 s. Conclusively, PTFE coated basalt fiber whose tensile and loop strengths were to $3.4g_f/D$ and $2.3g_f/D$, respectively, applicable to high temperature sewing thread could be continuously prepared with our pilot scale process under optimum conditions.

잉어과(Gyprinidae)의 Zocco속 어류 4종과 Candidia속 어류 1종에 대한 종간 유연관계와 종분화 연대측정 및 이들의 지질학적 분포경로를 밝히기 위하여 한국, 일본 및 대만에서 채집된 개체를 대상으로 전기영동법에 의한 유전자 분석을 하였다. 각 종의 지역별(한국, 일본, 대만) 집단간 유전적 유연관계를 분석한 결과 평균 유전적 근연치는 90% 이상이었다. Z. temmincki의 경우 일본집 단들은 한국의 A-type 집단과는 유연관계가 가까왔으나 한국의 B-type과는 유전적 차이가 현저하러다. Z. PlaD여5의 경우 한국집단과 일본집단사이의 유연관계는 S = 0.852였고, 한국집단과 대만집단 사이는 5 = 0.672, 일본집단과 대만집단 사이는 S = 0.751로서 지리적으로 현저한 차이를 업였다. Z. pochycephalus 3개 집단간의 유전적 근인치는 S = 0.963이었고 Candidia borbota 2개 집단간은 S = 0.946이었다. 종간의 유전적 근연환계를 비교한 결과 Candidia borbota와 Z. temmincki사이는 S = 0.608, Z. pluDpus와 1. pachycephalus사이는 S = 0.612였으나, Z. temmincki와 Z. platypus사이는 S = 0.441, Z. temmincki 와 Z. pochycepholus 사이는 S = 0.350이었고, Z. plotpus와 Condfda barbata사이는 S = 0.328로서 이들 사이에는 현저한 유전적 차이가 있었다. 각 종간의 롱분화 연대를 추산한 결과 이들은 약 480만년 전인 Pliocene 초기에 공통 조상종에서 분화하여 Z. temmincki, Candidia borbato group과 Z. plotypus, Z. pochycepholus group으로 분리되었고 약 260만년 전인 Pliocene 후기에 Z. temminc소와 Candidia borbota로 분화되었다고 추산되며 약 80만년 전인 Pleistocene시기에 남 temmincki B-type에서 h-type이 분화되었다짙 여겨진다. 한편 또 다른 한 단opP은 약 230만년 전인 열iocene후기에 대만 지역의 Z. plotypas에서 Z. pochvcepholus가 분화된 후 현재에 이르렀다고 추정된다. Z. platypus는 약150만년 이전인 초기 Pleistocene시기에 대만지역에서 한국 및 일본집단으로 분리되었다고 보며 이들 한국집단과 일본집단은 약 50만년 전 Pleistocene의 Middle기에 고황하 수계를 거쳐 현재의 분포 상황에 이르렀다고 여겨진다. 한편 대. temmin체과의 B-type에서 저온 적응으로 분화되었다고 추측되는 A-type은 약 20만년 전인 Pleistocene의 Riss기에 역시 고황하 수계를 통하여 한국과 일본으로 분포하여 현재에 이르렀다고 사료된다.
