The effect of excess L-ascorbic acid(AsA) in blood, liver lipid levels and peroxidation status were investigate . Ten Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 150-200g were fed 300mg AsA/100g body weight/day, mixed into ground chow diet, for 4 weeks. And another set of then rats were fed only chow diet as the control. Average body weight gain was slightly lowered by AsA feeding without food intake change. The AsA group showed higher AsA levels in plasma and liver than the control group. In addition, the AsA group showed a higher plasma TBARS value. Liver TBARS seemed to be elevated in the AsA, but not significantly. The hemolysis of red cells tended to increase with excess AsA, accompanied by a raised GSH-Px activity and lowered total GSH levels. Plasma HDL-Chol level was increased while the levels of total Chol, LDL-plus VLDL-Chol , and triglyceride were unchanged . Atherogenic index decreased. Hepatic TG levels were also decreased, but the total amount of Chol increased slightly . Platelet TXA$_2$ production was inhibited by excess AsA feeding. Above results indicafe that oral feeding of excess AsA may be beneficial in reducing the risk of atherosclerosis ; however such practice may be detrimental for tissue lipid peroxidation and weight gain.

주파수 영역 광 CDMA방식에 의한 광센서 네트워크에서 접속 가능한 광센서의 수량을 증가시키기 위하여 이득 포화 증폭기를 사용하여 액세스 잡음을 억압한다. 시뮬레이션 분석을 통하여 제안 광센서 네트워크에서 광센서의 스위핑 주파수를 10MHz이하로 설정하고 이득 포화증폭기의 이득을 증가시키면 엑세스잡음이 억압되고, 동시에 접속 가능한 광센서의 수가 종래의 방식에 비해 대폭으로 개선되는 것을 알 수 있다. 요구 SNR이 20dB이고 광센서의 스위핑 주파수가 10MHz일 경우 이득 포화 증폭기의 이득을 10dB로 설정하면 동시에 접속 가능한 광센서의 수가 종래의 방식에 비해 4배 이상으로 개선되는 것을 알 수 있다.

LMS알고리즘은 잡음이 섞인 신호로부터 원 신호를 복원하는데 자주 사용된다. 이 LMS알고리즘의 주된 결점은 음성 신호 파워에 따라 선형적으로 EMSE(Excess Mean Square Error)가 증가한다. 그 결과 최적의 값에서 큰 EMSE 때문에 성능의 효율성이 떨어진다. 이러한 결점은 적은 스텝사이즈를 선택함으로서 해결 할 수 있지만, 수렴율이 늦어지는 단점이 있어, 빠른 수렴율과 낮은 EMSE를 동시에 만족할 수 있는 값이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 IGC(lnstantaneous Gain Control) 알고리즘을 음성신호가 존재하는 경우에서 제안한다. 시뮬레이션은 음성신호와 가우시안 잡음을 이용하여 수행하였고, 수렴율, 잡음제거, 그리고 EMSE에서 LMS알고리즘보다 IGC알고리즘이 우수하다는 것을 보인다.

Dietary fatty acid including mainly palmitic acid and stearic acid was fed to fattening cattle and its effect on body weight gain, plasma lipid contents and rumen liquid fermentation in vitro was examined. In expt. 1, the effect of dietary fatty acid on body weight gain and plasma lipid concentrations was examined. In the control diet group, cattle were fed 1 kg/day of rice straw and concentrate which satisfied the requirement. In the fatty acid group, cattle were given 250 g/d of fatty acid with the same diet of the control diet group. In the excess concentrate group, cattle were given the same diet of the control diet group plus 735 g/d of concentrate corresponding to the same TDN of 250 g/d of fatty acid. Diets were given for 7 days. Body weight gain of cattle given dietary fatty acid was significantly greater than that of cattle fed only rice straw and concentrate. When dietary fatty acid was added to cattle feed, plasma NEFA and HDL-cholesterol concentrations increased. In expt. 2, the influence of dietary fatty acid on gas production and VFA profile in the rumen liquid was investigated in vitro. In the control group, 10 mg of rice straw and 90 mg of concentrate were incubated in the rumen fluid. In the excess concentrate group, 10 mg of rice straw and 97.5 mg of concentrate were incubated. In the fatty acid group, 10 mg of rice straw, 90 mg of concentrate and 2.5 mg of fatty acids were incubated. The rumen liquid mixed with feed materials was incubated for 24 h and the cumulative gas volume was measured. The VFA profile was also measured. Cumulative gas volume in the rumen liquid with fatty acid was equal to the control. Excess concentrate increased cumulative gas volume compared to the fatty acid group. There was no significant difference in total VFA concentration between experimental diet groups. It is suggested that dietary fatty acid has the potency to improve growth performance in fattening cattle without failure in rumen fermentation.

LMS(Least Mean Square)알고리즘은 강인성, 높은 추적성, 구현의 단순성 때문에 아직도 많이 사용되는 알고리즘이다. 하지만, LMS알고리즘은 비균일적인 수렴율과 EMSE(Excess mean square error)사이에 trade-off를 가진다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해, 많은 가변 스텝 사이즈 알고리즘이 연구되고 있다. 빠른 수렴속도를 위하여 복잡한 가변스텝 방식을 사용 하는데 많은 계산량을 필요로 한다. IGC(Instantaneous Gain Control) 알고리즘은 원신호와 잡음신호의 순시이득값을 사용하여 계산량은 줄이고 높은 성능을 유지한다. 하지만 IGC 알고리즘은 이득값 계산시 log함수에 의해 실행시간이 오래 걸리는 단점을 가진다. 제안하는 변형 IGC알고리즘은 실행시간을 지연하는 log 함수를 제거하여, 실시간 소음제거 처리에 맞게 변형하여 성능 개선을 이룰 수 있었다.

Metabolizable energy (ME) required for basal metabolism, activity and growth was considered as the criterion for targeting specific increases in body weight (100 g/week) of broiler chicks during the grower phase (5-20 weeks) and its impact was evaluated on breeder performance. Broiler female chicks (460) from a synthetic dam line were randomly distributed to 4 test groups with 23 replicates of 5 birds each and housed in cages. The first group (ME-100) was offered a calculated amount of ME by providing a measured quantity of grower diet (160 g protein and 2,600 kcal ME/kg) which increased with age and weight gain (133-294 kcal/bird/day). The other three groups were offered 10 or 20% less ME (ME-90 and ME-80, respectively) and 10% excess ME (ME-110) over the control group (ME-100). From 21 weeks of age, a single breeder diet (170 g protein and 2,600 kcal ME/kg) was uniformly fed to all groups and the impact of grower ME restriction on breeder performance evaluated up to 58 weeks. The targeted body weight gain of 1,600 g in a 16-week period was achieved by pullets of the ME-100 group almost one week earlier by gaining 8.7 g more weight per week. However, pullets in the ME-90 group gained 1,571 g during the same period, which was closer to the targeted weight. At 20 weeks of age, the conversion efficiency of feed (5.21-5.37), ME (13.9-14.1 kcal/g weight gain) and protein (0.847-0.871 g/g weight gain), eviscerated meat yield, giblet and tibia weights were not influenced by ME restriction, but the weights of abdominal fat and liver were higher with increased ME intake. Reduction of ME by 10% in the grower period significantly delayed sexual maturity (169.3 d), but increased egg production (152.5 /bird) with better persistency. Improved conversion efficiency of feed, ME and protein per g egg content were also observed in this group up to 56 weeks. The fertility and hatchability at 58 weeks of age were higher in the ME-90 group compared to the control and 10% excess ME feeding. In conclusion, the present study revealed the possibility of achieving targeted weight gain in broiler growers by feeding measured quantities of ME during the rearing period with consequential benefits in breeder performance.

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of DD-bardner (decision-directed gardner) algorithm. We derive an analytic gain of the thiming detector that is a function of SNR and an excess bandwidth, and verify the result by simulation. We also compare the DD-gardner algorithm with the bardner algorithm with respect to tracking performance and jitter performance under low SNR and a residual frequency component.

This study was undertaken to determine whether the anabolic steroid nandrolone phenylpropionate(NPP) can inhibit the muscle atrophy and reduction in muscle protein synthesis caused by glucocorticoids in female rates. Daily injections of 50mg/kg of corticosterone for eight days induced significant reductions in body weight gain and protein without affecting food intake. The mass, protein and RNA content, ratio of RNA to protein, and fractional rate of protein synthesis, measured in vivo, of gastrocnemius muscle were all significantly reduced by corticosterone treatement. Simultaneous administration of NPP at a dose of 10mg/kg with corticosteorne (50mg/kg) fully inhibited the reductions in the mass, protein and RNA content of gastrocnemius muscle, and body weight gain and protein with no alteration in food intake but the reduction in fractional rate of muscle protein syntheis was only partially prevented. The results indicate that the anabolic steroid nandrolone phenylpropionate is capable of preventing muscle atrophy in female rats treated with excess corticosterion.

This paper introduces a high-efficiency, high-gain, broadband quasi-Yagi antenna, and its four-element array for use in 60-GHz wireless communications. The antenna was fed by a microstrip-to-slotline transition consisting of a curved microstripline and a circular slot to allow broadband characteristics. A corrugated ground plane was employed as a reflector to improve the gains in the low-frequency region of the operation bandwidth, and consequently, to reduce variation. The single antenna yielded an impedance bandwidth of 49 to 69 GHz for $|S_{11}|$ <-10dB and a gain of >12.0 dBi while the array exhibited a bandwidth of 52 to 68 GHz and a gain greater than 15.0 dBi. Both proposed designs had small gain variations (${\pm}0.5$ dBi) and high radiation efficiency (>95%) in the 60-GHz bands. The features of the proposed antenna were validated by designing, fabricating, and testing a scaled-up configuration of the single antenna at the 15-GHz band. The measurements resulted in an impedance bandwidth of 13.0 to 17.5 GHz for $|S_{11}|$ <-10dB, a gain of 10.1 to 13.2 dBi, and radiation efficiency in excess of 88% within this bandwidth. Additionally, the 15-GHz antenna yielded quite symmetric radiation profiles in both E- and H-planes, with a high front-to-back ratio.
