This research focused on the effects of different doses of Bacillus subtilis KN-42 on the growth performance, diarrhea incidence, faecal bacterial flora, and the relative number of Lactobacillus and Escherichia coli in faeces of weaned piglets to determine whether the strain can serve as a candidate antimicrobial growth promoter. A total of 360 piglets (initial body weight $7.14{\pm}0.63$ kg) weaned at $26{\pm}2$ days of age were randomly allotted to 5 treatment groups (4 pens per treatment with 18 pigs per pen) for a 28-day trial. Dietary treatments were basal diet without any antimicrobial (negative control; NC), basal diet supplemented with 120 mg/kg feed of neomycin sulfate (positive control; PC) and basal diet supplemented with $2{\times}10^9$ (L), $4{\times}10^9$ (M) and $20{\times}10^9$ (H) CFU/kg feed of B. subtilis KN-42. During the overall period, average daily gain and feed efficiency of piglets were higher in groups PC, M, and H than those in group NC (p<0.05), and all probiotics and antibiotics groups had a lower diarrhea index than group NC (p<0.05). The 16S rDNA gene-based methods were used to analyze faecal bacterial flora on day 28 of experiment. The result of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis showed that supplementation of B. subtilis KN-42 to the diet changed the bacterial communities, with a higher bacterial diversity and band number in group M than in the other four groups. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the relative number of Lactobacillus were higher in groups PC and H than in group NC (p<0.05), and the supplemented B. subtilis KN-42 to the diet also reduced the relative number of E. coli (p<0.05). These results suggest that dietary addition of B. subtilis KN-42 can improve the growth performance and gastrointestinal health of piglets.

This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of nutrition counseling on the dietary intake and nutritional status cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. The study was conducted over 6 week period and included 104 patients : 66 received nutrition counseling as the variable group of 42 male and 24 female and 38 patients received no counseling as the control group of 19 male and 19 female. Nutrition counseling was accompanied with the radiation therapy and adminstered via counseling session and distribution of printed material during radiation therapy for 6 weeks. Nutrition counseling aimed at maintaining a balanced diet and preventing weight loss of subjects, guideline used for energy and protein intake were 35kcal/kg IBW and 1.5-2.0g/kg IBW, respectively. Over the course of the study, the counseling group increased significantly in comparison to the control group's energy intake, evidenced by the counseling group's initial mean daily energy intake of 1932.0kcal, and 4 and 6 week mean energy intake values of 2046.6kcal, 2066kcal, respectively. But mean energy values of control group was 1614.3kcal at 4 week. Th energy intake per weight values and protein intake per weight values for initial, 4 and 6 week intervals for counseling group were 33.2kcal/kg, 33.7kcal/kg, 34.0kcal/kg, and 1.48g/kg, 1.58g/kg, 1.59g/kg, respectively. Based on results, nutrition counseling had positive effects on both the variety of diet and energy intake of the variable group, mostly due to an increase in dairy product and egg consumption. In addition, the percentage of counseling group patients who consumed all 5 food group increased from 48.5% to 54.5%. Sufficient energy intake and protein consumption seem to be important factors in weight loss prevention, evidenced by weight gain by subjects in the counseling group who had 36.1kcal/kg/day mean energy intake and 1.77g/kg/day mean protein intake after 4 weeks. Counseling group subjects experiencing weight loss had lower intake and 1.77g/kg/day mean protein intake after 3 weeks. Counseling group subjects experiencing weight loss had lower intakes of 29.3kcal/kg/day for energy and 1.33g/kg/day for protein during the same period. Another significant factor in weight loss prevention of the counseling group could be the variety of diet. The dietary variety scores(DVS) of both counseling and control groups differed significantly : the counseling group had a mean score of 34 while the control group of patients. At the end of the study, the mean percentage of subjects within each group having a DDS 5 was higher in the counseling group (54.5% v.s. 24.0%). In this study, nutrition counseling for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy proved to be effective in preventing weight loss, a major complication during radiotherapy. Nutrition counseling not only increased protein and energy intake, but also had desirable effects on variety or diversity of diet.

This study was performed to investigate correlation between total body weight loss and local sweat rate and to find out any possible method that can estimate total body weight loss judging from local sweat rate. Twelve adult females were kept at 44 $\pm1^{\circ}C$, 50 ${\pm}5\%$ R.H. (1) Physiological responses such as total body weight loss, local sweat rate, rectal temperature, skin temperature, blood pressure and pulse, (2) micro climate inside garment and (3) subjective sensation were examined. Two types of garment such as long-sleeves with long pants (Type I) and half·sleeves with short pants (Type II) were used to observe the effect of garment types on sweating response. Both clothing weight was equal (132$\pm$3 g/$m^{2}$). The results were as follows: 1. Regardless of the different types, total body weight loss was more interrelated with the sweat rate on forehead than any other parts of the body. Except the forehead, different parts of body with different types of garment influenced on body weight loss quite differently. 2. Total body weight loss was more interrelated with the weight gain of garment than the local sweat rate. 3. Under the environment of 44$\pm1^{\circ}C,\;50{\pm}5\%$R.H., body weight loss during 1 hour of subject clothed and silted was 275.2 g/hr and weight loss per body surface area was 178.9 g/$m^{2}/hr$ Garment types have no influences on total body weight loss. 4. Local sweat rate (mg/7.07 $cm^{2}/hr$) was 208.0,191.0, 133.0, 115.0,81 0, 75.1 and 66.3 on scruff, breast, forehead, forearm, thigh, upper arm, leg respectively No evidence has been found that garment types influenced on local sweat rate (p<0.1). 5. No interrelationships between rectal temperature and total body weight loss, local skin temperature and total body weight loss, and local skin temperature and local sweat rate were found. From this study, some possible method that we can estimate total body' weight loss judging from weight loss of garment. But considering the fact that clothing design factor, the physical characteristics of fabric and environmental factor such as humidity and wind velocity should be concerned in weight loss of garment, it should be studied further whether the total body weight loss can be estimated properly from the weight loss of garment. This experiment suggest that different parts of body with different types of garment can influence on body weight loss quite differently. Therefore, in order to get more precise results, more studies under the diversity of garment types should be done in the near future.

본 논문에서는 AMC-V-BLAST(Adaptive Modulation and Coding-Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) 결합 시스템에 각 레이어 별로 공통적인 MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme) 레벨을 적용한 경우와 독립적인 MSC 레벨을 적용한 경우의 시스템 구조를 제시 후 성능을 관찰한다. 그리고 공통적인 MCS 레벨이 적용된 결합 시스템의 성능에 비하여 독립적인 MCS 레벨이 적용된 결합 시스템이 어느 정도의 전송률 향상이 있는가를 살펴본다. 실험결과, 독립적인 MCS 레벨이 적용된 경우가 레이어 별로 각 채널상태에 따라 최대한의 전송률을 얻기 위한 변조 및 코딩 방식이 선택되므로 공통 MCS 레벨을 적용한 경우에 비하여 전송률 성능이 우수함을 보였다. 특히, 약 $7dB{\sim}9dB$ SNR 구간에서 독립적인 MCS 레벨을 적용한 AMC-V-BLAST 결합 시스템의 경우가 공통적인 MCS 레벨을 적용한 경우에 비하여 약 700kbps의 전송률이 개선됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 수신다이버시티를 고려하며 MMSE 무효화 기법을 적용한 AMC-V-BLAST 결합 시스템의 경우 $7dB{\sim}9dB$ SNR 구간에 대하여 독립적인 MCS 레벨을 적용한 시스템과 공통적인 MCS 레벨을 선택한 시스템 간의 전송률 차이가 약 350kpbs 내외로 나타남을 확인할 수 있다.

다중톤 방해신호가 존재하는 레일리 페이딩 채널에서, MSK와 QPSK 변조방식을 사용하는 직접 시퀀스/느린 주파수 도약 복합 확산대역 시스템의 성능을 분석한다. 수신기에서 다이버시티를 사용하지 않는 MSK와 QPSK의 변조방식별 시스템의 비트오율 성능을 수신기에서의 평균 신호대 잡음비 E/sub b//N/sub 0/ 및 방해신호대 원하는 신호의 전력비(JSR)의 개념으로 유도하고, 여러 가지 시스템 파라메터의 변화에 따른 시스템의 성능을 평가한다. 또한, 페이딩이 없는 채널과 페이딩이 존재하는 채널, 그리고 MSK와 QPSK의 변조방식에 따라 성능을 비교 분석한다. 다중 톤 재밍이 있을 때, MSK 시스템과 QPSK 시스템간의 성능은 JSR=0dB 근처에서 서로 비슷했지만, JSR이 증가할수록 MSK 시스템의 성능이 더 좋아진다. 전체 확산 이득이 고정 된 경우에, 직접 확산 이득이 증가할수록 두 시스템의 성능이 전체적으로 개선되지만, 개선되는 BER 성능은 아주 작다. 또한 레일리 페이딩이 없을때에 비하여 페이딩이 있는 시스템의 성능은 E/sub b//N/sub 0/가 작은 경우에는 서로 비슷한 성능을 나타내지만, E/sub b//N/sub 0/가 증가할수록 큰 성능차이를 나타낸다.

기존의 협력통신은 목적지 노드에서 소스 노드와 릴레이 노드들로부터 독립적인 채널의 동일한 신호를 수신하므로 공간 다이버시티와 경로손실감소 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 하지만, 릴레이 노드의 사용으로 인해 주파수 효율이 저하되고, maximal ratio combining (MRC) 결합 방식을 사용함으로써 수신단의 복잡도가 증가하는 문제를 초래하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 개선하는 동시에 우수한 BER 성능을 얻을 수 있는 협력 ARQ 프로토콜을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 소스 노드로부터 수신한 신호를 우선적으로 목적지 노드에서 평가하여 만족되어질 경우, ACK 메시지를 소스 노드와 릴레이 노드로 전송하고 수신한 신호를 복구하므로 기존의 협력통신에 비해 주파수 효율을 높일 수 있다. 또한, ARQ 메시지가 NACK일 경우 릴레이 노드는 선택적 재전송을 하므로 소스 노드가 재전송하는 일반적인 ARQ 프로토콜에 비해 시스템의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있다. 제안하는 프로토콜에서의 선택적 전송과 ARQ 메시지의 정보는 각각 소스 노드로부터 수신한 신호의 log-likelihood ratio (LLR) 계산 값과 임의의 문턱 값을 비교하여 결정하므로 기존의 CRC 부호를 위한 대역폭 할당을 요구하지 않으며, 목적지 노드에서 부가적인 결합방식을 사용하지 않음으로써 수신단의 복잡도를 줄일 수 있었다. 레일리 페이딩과 AWGN를 고려한 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 통해 주파수 효율과 BER 성능을 검증하였다.

Objective: In this study, two glycosidases (XMosidases), ${\beta}$-xylosidase and ${\beta}$-mannosidase, were investigated on their in vitro hydrolysis activities of feed and on the improvement of growth performance in vivo in weanling pigs. Methods: Enzyme activities of XMosidases in vitro were evaluated in test tubes and simulation of gastric and small intestinal digestion, respectively, in the presence of NSPase. In vivo study was performed in 108 weaned piglets in a 28-d treatment. Pigs were allotted to one of three dietary treatments with six replicate pens in each treatment. The three treatment groups were as follows: i) Control (basal diet); ii) CE (basal diets+CE); iii) CE-Xmosidases (basal diets+ CE+${\beta}$-xylosidase at 800 U/kg and ${\beta}$-mannosidase at 40 U/kg). CE was complex enzymes (amylase, protease, xylanase, and mannanase). Results: In vitro XMosidases displayed significant activities on hydrolysis of corn and soybean meal in the presence of non-starch polysaccharide degrading enzymes (xylanase and ${\beta}$-mannanase). In vitro simulation of gastric and small intestinal digestion by XMosidases showed XMosidases achieved $67.89%{\pm}0.22%$ of dry matter digestibility and $63.12%{\pm}0.21%$ of energy digestibility at $40^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. In weanling pigs, additional XMosidases to CE in feed improved average daily gain, feed conversion rate (p<0.05), and apparent total tract digestibility of crude protein (p = 0.01) and dry matter (p = 0.02). XMosidases also altered the gut bacterial diversity and composition by increasing the proportion of beneficial bacteria. Conclusion: Addition of a complex enzyme supplementation (contained xylanase, ${\beta}$-mannanase, protease and amylase), XMosidases (${\beta}$-xylosidase and ${\beta}$-mannosidase) can further improve the growth performance and nutrient digestion of young pigs.

Bacillus is characterized by the formation of spores in harsh environments, which makes it suitable for use as a probiotic for feed because of thermostability and high survival rate, even under long-term storage. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Bacillus-based probiotics on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, immune response, and intestinal microbiota of weaned pigs. A total of 40 weaned pigs (7.01 ± 0.86 kg body weight [BW]; 28 d old) were randomly assigned to two treatments (4 pigs/pen; 5 replicates/treatment) in a randomized complete block design (block = BW and sex). The dietary treatment was either a typical nursery diet based on corn and soybean meal (CON) or CON supplemented with 0.01% probiotics containing a mixture of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis (PRO). Fecal samples were collected daily by rectal palpation for the last 3 days after a 4-day adaptation. Blood, ileal digesta, and intestinal tissue samples were collected from one pig in each pen at the respective time points. The PRO group did not affect the feed efficiency, but the average daily gain was significantly improved (p < 0.05). The PRO group showed a trend of improved crude protein digestibility (p < 0.10). The serum transforming growth factor-β1 level tended to be higher (p < 0.10) in the PRO group on days 7 and 14. There was no difference in phylum level of the intestinal microbiota, but there were differences in genus composition and proportions. However, β-diversity analysis showed no statistical differences between the CON and the PRO groups. Taken together, Bacillus-based probiotics had beneficial effects on the growth performance, immune system, and intestinal microbiota of weaned pigs, suggesting that Bacillus can be utilized as a functional probiotic for weaned pigs.

장내 미생물은 숙주의 건강을 유지하는 데 중요한 역할을 하며, 식단에 의하여직접적으로 영향을 받아 조절된다. 김치는 식이 섬유와 젖산균(LAB)이 풍부한 발효 식품이다. 발효 김치가 장내 미생물의 구성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 6주령의 수컷 Sprague-Dawley 흰쥐 45마리를 대상으로 기본 사료(CON), 발효 김치(FK)와 키토산 첨가 발효 김치(CFK)를 각각 4주간 급여 하였다. 체중과 사료 섭취량을 매주 측정하였으며, 미생물 분석은 장내용물 수집 후 pyrosequencing을 통하여 16S rRNA 유전자 분석으로 확인 하였다. FK 및 CFK군은 대조군에 비해 체중, 사료 효율 및 혈중 triglyceride 농도가 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 장내 미생물의 다양성은 대조군에 비해 FK와 CFK군 모두에서 증가하였다. 비만과 관련된 Firmicutes 미생물이 감소한 반면, 체중 감소와 관련된 Bacteroidetes 미생물이 증가하였다. 젖산균과 체중 감소 관련 박테리아 및 butyrate 생산 박테리아는 대조군에 비해 FK 및 CFK군에서 증가하였다. 발효 김치는 비만을 억제하고 장내 유익한 미생물의 성장을 촉진하였다.
