This experiment was performed to investigate the effects of lysine (Lys) to DE ratio on growth performance, and carcass characterics in finishing barrows. Ninety six cross-bred finishing barrows ((Landrace${\times}$Yorkshire)${\times}$Duroc, average BW $58.25{\pm}0.48$ kg) were assigned as a randomized complete block design by 2 energy levels and 4 Lys:DE ratios on the basis of BW to one of 8 treatments with 3 replications with 4 animals per pen. The levels of DE and Lys:DE ratio for each treatment were i) DE 3.35 Mcal/kg, 1.5 g Lys/Mcal DE, ii) DE 3.35 Mcal/kg, 1.8 g Lys/Mcal DE, iii) DE 3.35 Mcal/kg, 2.1 g Lys/Mcal DE, iv) DE 3.35 Mcal/kg, 2.4 g Lys/Mcal DE, v) DE 3.60 Mcal/kg, 1.5 g Lys/Mcal DE, vi) DE 3.60 Mcal/kg, 1.8 g Lys/Mcal DE, vii) DE 3.60 Mcal/kg, 2.1 g Lys/Mcal DE, viii) DE 3.60 Mcal/kg, 2.4 g Lys/Mcal DE. During finishing period from 58 kg to 103 kg of BW, increased energy density in the diet increased (p<0.05) ADG and gain:feed ratio, but did not influence ADFI. As Lys:DE ratio was increased, ADG, ADFI and gain:feed ratio were improved in finishing barrows (p<0.05). There were positive interactions (p<0.05) between carcass weight, grade, and backfat thickness and energy density and Lys level (p<0.05). In conclusion, data from our current study suggest that maximum yields including ADG, gain:feed ratio, carcass weight and grade can be achieved by administrating finishing pigs with an ideal Lys:DE ratio, Lys 2.1 g/DE Mcal.

SnO2 나노세선은 n-형 전기적 성질과 화학적인 안정성 때문에 가스센서, 투명 전극 및 태양전지와 같은 전자소자와 광소자에 널리 사용되고 있다. 화학 기상 증착, 전자빔 증착과 전기화학증착법을 사용하여 SnO2 나노세선을 제작하고 있다. 여러 가지 증착 방법중에서 전기화학증착방법은 낮은 온도와 진공 공정이 필요하지 않으며 대면적 공정이 가능하고 빠른 성장 속도로 나노구조를 효과적으로 성장할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학증착법을 이용하여 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 기판 위에 SnO2 나노세선 성장하고 성장시간에 따라 형성한 SnO2 나노세선의 구조적 성질을 조사하였다. SnO2 나노세선을 성장하기 위하여 D.I. water와 Entanol을 7:3의 비율로 섞은 용액을 $65^{\circ}C$로 유지하였고, 0.015 M의 Tin chloride pentahydrate ($Cl4{\cdot}Sn{\cdot}5H2O$)를 타겟 물질로 이용하였고, 0.1 M의 Potassium chloride (KCl)를 완충 물질로 사용하였다. 전기화학증착 방법을 사용하여 제작한 ITO 기판위에 성장한 SnO2 나노세선 위에 전극을 제작하고 전류-전압 특성을 측정하였다. SnO2 나노세선이 성장되는 전기화학증착 전압을 1.2 V로 고정하고, 성장시간을 15분, 30분 및 1시간으로 변화하여 SnO2 나노세선의 구조적 특성을 분석하였다. X-선회절 (X-ray diffraction; XRD) 실험 결과는 $31^{\circ}$에서 (101) 성장방향을 갖는 SnO2 나노세선이 성장함을 확인하였고, 성장 시간이 길어짐에 따라(101) 성장방향의 XRD 피크의 intensity가 증가하였다. 전기화학증착 성장 시간이 길어짐에 따라 SnO2 나노세선의 지름이 60 nm에서 150 nm로 변화하는 것을 주사전자현미경으로 관측하였다. 이 실험 결과는 전기화학증착방법을 사용하여 제작한 SnO2 나노세선의 성장 시간에 따른 구조적 특성들을 최적화하여 소자제작에 응용하는데 도움이 된다.

Inadequate supply of glucose or glucogenic substrates to the body tissues can affect metabolism of absorbed acetogenic metabolites from the gut and therefore, influence feed intake in ruminants. This study investigated the effect of energy supplementation on rumen kinetics in the gut, and the acetate clearance rate in the body tissues of sheep fed low quality basal roughage. A basal diet consisting of urea-treated mixture of wheaten chaff and barley straw (3:1 DM) containing 22.2 g N/kg DM was used. Four Merino cross wethers weighing $45{\pm}4.38\;kg$ fitted with permanent rumen and abomasal cannulae were allocated to four treatments in a $4{\times}4$ LSD. The treatments were basal diet ($E_0$), or basal diet supplemented with sucrose (112.5 g/d) administered intraruminally ($E_R$), abomasally ($E_A$), or via both routes (50:50) ($E_{RA}$). There was no difference (p>0.05) in the rumen liquid kinetics parameters between the four dietary treatments. However, there was a trend of animals supplemented with sucrose wholly or partly through the abomasum having lower faecal DM and therefore poor pellet formation, and low pH. Although the glucogenic potential of the fermentation products absorbed from the rumen was increased (p<0.001) by intra-ruminal supplementation with sucrose ($E_R$ and $E_{RA}$), there was no significant difference (p<0.05) in acetate clearance rate between the four dietary treatments.

Cold shock proteins (CSPs) are a family of proteins induced at low temperatures. CSPs bind to single-stranded nucleic acids through the ribonucleoprotein 1 and 2 (RNP 1 and 2) binding motifs. CSPs play an essential role in cold adaptation by regulating transcription and translation via molecular chaperones. The solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or X-ray crystal structures of several CSPs from various microorganisms have been determined, but structural characteristics of psychrophilic CSPs have not been studied. Therefore, we optimized the purification process to obtain highly pure Lm-Csp and determined the three-dimensional structure model of Lm-Csp by comparative homology modeling using MODELLER on the basis of the solution NMR structure of Bs-CspB. Lm-Csp consists of a ${\beta}$-barrel structure, which includes antiparallel ${\beta}$ strands (G4-N10, F15-I18, V26-H29, A46-D50, and P58-Q64). The template protein, Bs-CspB, shares a similar ${\beta}$ sheet structure and an identical chain fold to Lm-Csp. However, the sheets in Lm-Csp were much shorter than those of Bs-CspB. The Lm-Csp side chains, E2 and R20 form a salt bridge, thus, stabilizing the Lm-Csp structure. To evaluate the contribution of this ionic interaction as well as that of the hydrophobic patch on protein stability, we investigated the secondary structures of wild type and mutant protein (W8, F15, and R20) of Lm-Csp using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The results showed that solvent-exposed aromatic side chains as well as residues participating in ionic interactions are very important for structural stability. Further studies on the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of Lm-Csp using NMR spectroscopy are required.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of feeding a trace minerals-fortified microbial culture (TMC) on the performance and carcass characteristics of late-fattening Hanwoo steers. A mixture of microbes (0.6% [v/w] of Enterobacter sp., Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus sp., and Saccharomyces sp.) was cultured with 99% feedstuff for ensiling and 0.4% trace minerals (zinc, selenium, copper, and cobalt). Sixteen late-fattening steers (mean age, 21.8 months) were allocated to two diets: a control diet (concentrate mix and rice straw) and a treated diet (control diet+3.3% TMC). At a mean age of 31.1 months, all the steers were slaughtered. The addition of TMC to the diet did not affect the average daily weight gain of the late fattening steers, compared with that of control steers. Moreover, consuming the TMC-supplemented diet did not affect cold carcass weight, yield traits such as back fat thickness, longissimus muscle area, yield index or yield grade, or quality traits such as meat color, fat color, texture, maturity, marbling score, or quality grade. However, consumption of a TMC-supplemented diet increased the concentrations of zinc, selenium, and sulfur (p<0.05) in the longissimus muscle. With respect to amino acids, animals consuming TMC showed increased (p<0.05) concentrations of lysine, leucine, and valine among essential amino acids and a decreased (p<0.05) concentration of proline among non-essential amino acids. In conclusion, the consumption of a TMC-supplemented diet during the late-fattening period elevated the concentrations of certain trace minerals and essential amino acids in the longissimus muscle, without any deleterious effects on performance and other carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers.

본 연구는 이차 볼테라 필터 계수를 연속적으로 변화시키기 위하여 sequential regression (SER) 방법을 이용한 적응 비선형 디지탈 필터링 알고리즘에 대하여 서술하였다. 일반적으로 SER 방법은 Wiener 필터 이론을 볼테라필터에 직접 적용시킬때 생기는 큰 행렬을 역변환시키기 위하여 사용되었다. 그러나, 본 연구에서는 입력신호가 가우시안일 경우, 최소 자승해를 구하기 위하여 SER 방법을 이용하였다. 이 알고리즘에서, 역변환시킬 행렬의 크기는 일반적 접근 방법보다 작게 되기때문에, 일반적 비선형 시스템 인식 기술보다 본 연구에서 제시한 방법의 계산량이 적다. 본 연구에서 제안한 알고리즘의 성능을 검토하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 결과를 구했다.

The improvement of luminance and luminous efficiency is the one of the most important part in AC-PDPs. To achieve high luminance and luminous efficiency, high VUV emission efficiency is needed. We measured the emission spectra of vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) and infrared(IR) rays in surface discharge AC-PDP with Ne-Xe mixture gas. The influence of Ne-Xe gas-mixture ratio on resonance state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{1})$ and exited state $Xe^{\ast}(3P_{2})$ has been investigated. It is found that the intensity of VUV 147nm emission is proportional to that of the IR 828 nm emission, and the VUV 173nm emission is roughly proportional to that of the IR 823nm emission. The electron temperature and plasma density have been experimentally measured from the center of sustaining electrode gap by a micro Langmuir probe in AC-PDPs. The plasma density from the center of sustaining electrode gap are shown to be maximum value of $9{\times}10^{11}cm^{-3}$, where the electron temperature is about 1.6 eV in this experiment

Purpose Phenylketonuria is an inborn error of metabolism, which is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. PKU is resulting from deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase. PAH gene spans about 90 kb on chromosome 12q and comprises 13 exons. In order to define the genetic basis of PKU and the frequencies and distribution of PAH mutations in the Korean population, we analyzed PAH gene in independent 80 patients with PKU. Methods All 13 exons including exon-intron boundaries and 2 kb of 5' upstream region of the PAH gene were analyzed by PCR-direct sequencing methods. Results PAH gene analysis revealed 39 different mutations including 10 novel mutations. The novel mutations consisted of 9 missense mutations (P69S, G103S, N207D, T278S, P281A, L293M, G332V, S391I and A447P) and a novel splice site variant (IVS10-3C>G). R243Q, IVS4-1G>A, and E6-96A>G were the most relevant mutations and they accounted in the whole for 38% of the mutant alleles identified in this study. We also observed that. $BH_4$ responsibility was. associated with genotype of R241C, R53H and R408Q. Conc1ustion Our present study with 80 participants extends the previous results to more comprehensive understanding of PAH allele distribution and frequency in Koreans. Although Korean mutation profile of PAH is similar to those of the nearest oriental populations (Japanese, Chinese, and Taiwanese), several different characteristic features are revealed. The characterization of the genotype-phenotype relationship was also performed. Our data would be very useful information for diagnosis, genetic counseling and planning of dietary and therapeutic strategies in Korean PAH patients.

Nitrogen ion implantation in Nimonic 80A using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) was investigated at a pulse voltage of -60 kV and ion dose of $3{\times}10^{17}{\sharp}/cm^2$, $6{\times}10^{17}{\sharp}/cm^2$, $12{\times}10^{17}{\sharp}/cm^2$. PIII is an effective technology to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of materials. And also this technology is not limited by the shape and size of materials. PIII would be a promising technique in the future. Surface hardness and wear resistance of the $N^+$ ion implanted Nimonic 80A were increased with the increase in the incident ion dose. The surface hardness of the untreated Nimonic 80A is 420 Hv, the hardness of implanted Nimonic 80A is 1050 Hv at $N^+$ ion dose of $12{\times}10^{17}{\sharp}/cm^2$. The wear loss of the untreated is 82.5 mg, the wear loss of the implanted is 0.004g at $N^+$ ion dose of $12{\times}10^{17}{\sharp}/cm^2$. The $Cr_2N$ is detected on the surface of the implanted Nimonic 80A by XRD analysis.

The passage of the interplanetary discontinuity (i.e., sudden increases in the solar wind speed, density, and IMF strength) was detected by ACE near GSE (x, y, z) ~ (222, -36, 3) Re upstream of Earth around 22:48 UT on November 24, 2008. About 55 min later, this solar wind discontinuity was observed by Geotail near GSE (x, y, z) ~ (23, 18, -7) Re in front of Earth's bow shock. From the propagation time of the solar wind discontinuity between ACE and Geotail, it is expected that the discontinuity front is aligned with the Parker spiral and strikes the postnoon dayside magnetopause first. Using coordinated multi-point measurements (THEMIS and GOES) at or in geosynchronous orbit, we observed a tailward propagating sudden impulse (SI), excited by the interplanetary discontinuity, around 23:50 UT with its front retaining alignment similar to that of solar wind discontinuity. The SI event appears a negative-then-positive variation in the H component at high latitude Chokurdakh (CHD: MLAT ~ 64.7 deg) in the prenoon sector, which is opposite sense of normal SI event. During the positive deflection at CHD, the SuperDARN Hokkaido radar detected the downward motion of the ionosphere, implying westward electric field enhancement, at subauroral latitudes near CHD meridian. In our study we will discuss magnetospheric and ionospheric responses to the passage of the solar wind discontinuity using multi-point observations in space and on the ground.
