Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of concentrate level and chromium-methionine (Cr-Met) supplementation on the growth performance, carcass characteristics, meat quality, and fatty acid composition of Tan lambs. Methods: Sixty male Tan lambs (21±1.23 kg body weight) fed a finishing diet (concentrate-to-forage ratio: 35:65 [LC group] or 55:45 [HC group]) with daily Cr-Met supplementation (0, 0.75, or 1.50 g) were used in a completely randomized design with a 2×3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Results: Lambs from the HC group had higher average daily gain, dry matter (DM) digestibility, dressing percentages, leg proportions, intramuscular fat (IMF) contents, and saturated fatty acid levels, but lower feed conversion ratios, globulin (GLB) and total protein (TP) concentrations, shear force, and monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) levels (all p<0.05). Cr-Met supplementation increased the DM digestibility, GLB and TP concentrations, rack and loin percentages, and cooking loss, but decreased the IMF contents and leg proportions (all p<0.05). Cr-Met supplementation at 0.75 g/d increased the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content in both the HC and LC groups (p<0.01). Significant interactions between the concentrate level and Cr-Met dosage were observed for MUFA (p<0.01) and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (p<0.01) levels. Meat from the lambs fed an unsupplemented LC diet presented the highest PUFA and MUFA levels (p<0.01). However, the MUFA and PUFA levels decreased significantly with increasing Cr-Met supplementation levels in the LC group (p<0.01), whereas the opposite trend was seen in the HC group. Conclusion: The HC diet improved the growth performance of Tan lambs, increased their profitability by increasing leg and rack joint proportions, and improved meat quality by promoting an IMF content that was more visibly acceptable to consumers. Cr-Met supplementation at 0.75 g/d in a HC diet was the best choice and may be economically beneficial.

This paper proposes two-stage optimization framework to re-estimate the photovoltaic (PV) hosting capacity (HC) by improving parameters for voltage controls of the smart inverter. In the first stage, PV HC is estimated considering Volt-Var (VV) and Volt-Watt (VW) controls, aligning with IEEE Std 1547-2018 guidelines. In the second stage, adjust parameters of VV and VW to improve HC. To investigate the performance of the proposed algorithm, simulations conducted using OpenDSS on an IEEE 37-bus system. The results demonstrate that effectively increases PV HC.

The most desirable diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) should have the properties of oxidibing CO and HC effectively at low exhaust gas temperature while minimizing the formation of sulfate at high exhaust gas temperature. Precious metals such as platinum and palladium have been known to be sufficiently active for oxidizing CO and HC and also to have high activity for the oxidation of sulfur dioxide (SO2) to sulfor trioxide (SO3). There is a need to develop a highly selective catalyst which can promote the oxidation of CO and HC efficiently, but, on the other hand, suppress the oxidation of SO2. One approach to solve this problem is to load a base metal such as vanadium in Pt-based catalyst to suppress sulfate formation. In this study, a Pt-V catalyst was prepared by impregnating platinum and vanadium onto a Ti-Si wash coated catalyst in a laboratory reactor by changing the formulations and reaction temperatures.

Purpose - The study on the consumption structure of urban residents can help us to understand demand law and to grasp the changing consumption trend of people. Consumption structure is an important indicator reflecting the people's living standard. It is of realistic significance to study urban consumption structure. Research data and methodology - This study is carried out with data connected with urban residents from Shandong Statistical Yearbook for the period 2000-2010 analyzing eight commodity groups. The almost ideal demand system (AIDS) is one of the important models related to consumption structure. Results - This paper shows that firstly gives a brief introduction to AIDS. Then it makes an empirical analysis on the urban residents' consumption structure in Shandong province, China on the basis of AIDS model. Conclusions - the authorities are supposed to control the prices of HC, Foodstuff and Housing and encourage the consumption of HC, Housing, EE accordingly. At the same time, local government should increase the supply of goods connected with housing, HA, HC, and EE so as to attract more consumption from the urban residents in Shandong.

This study examined the metabolites in different roughage to concentrate ratios using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). Six lactating cows were divided into two groups that were fed different roughage to concentrate ratios (HR group = 8:2, HC group = 2:8). Feces samples were collected individually at one time, and the metabolites were analyzed using an SPE-800 MHz NMR-MS system. The metabolites were identified and quantified using a Chenomx NMR suite 8.4. Metabolic pathway analysis and principal component analysis were conducted using a Metaboanalyst 4.0. Statistical analysis was performed using a Dunnett's test on the SAS program. As a result, several metabolites were identified, and among them, 77 metabolites were used in statistical analysis. The levels of twelve metabolites were significantly higher in the HC group: succinate, dimethylamine, histamine, homovanillate, thymol, acetate, propionate, butyrate, isovalerate, valerate, imidazole, N-nitrosodimethylamine, and O-acetylcholine. In the HC group, the concentrations of all metabolites were higher than in the HR group, and the metabolic pathway was also different. This study is expected to be useful for a variety of livestock studies by 1H-NMR because it examined the change in metabolites in the body metabolism and microorganisms.

HC-SCR was conducted using Fe/ZSM5 catalyst coated over 200 cpi cordierite in the conditions of atomspheric pressure and $200^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. Among the tested hydrocarbon reductants, isobutane (i-$C_4H_{10}$) showed the highest de-$NO_x$ yield of 69% at $320^{\circ}C$ with the mole ratio of reductant/$NO_x$ =1.0. De-$NO_x$ yield resulted by the change of alkane reductant was increased as the carbon number of alkane reductant was increased. The order of increase of de-$NO_x$ yield was proportional to the order of decrease of bonding energy between C and H of reductant, where the H abstraction step from alkane molecule could be the rate controlling step of HC-SCR.

Compensatory growth of juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed different diets with different feeding regime was compared. Four hundred fifty fish (twenty five fish per tank) were randomly distributed into 18 of 180 L flow-through tanks. Six treatments were prepared: fish were hand-fed with the control (C) diet to satiation twice a day, six days a week, for 8 weeks (C-8W treatment); and other groups of fish were starved for 2 weeks and then fed with the C, high protein (HP), high carbohydrate (HC), high lipid (HL), and combined protein, carbohydrate and lipid (CPCL) diets to satiation twice a day, six days a week, for 6 weeks, referred to as C-6W, HP-6W, HC-6W, HL-6W, and CPCL-6W treatments, respectively. Final body weight of fish in HP-6W treatment was higher than that of fish in C-6W, but not different from that of fish in C-8W, HC-6W, HL-6W and CPCL-6W treatments. Specific growth rate of fish in HP-6W treatment was higher than that of fish in all other treatments except for fish in CPCL-6W treatment. Feeding rate of fish in C-8W treatment was higher than that of fish in HP-6W, HC-6W, HL-6W and CPCL-6W treatments, but not different from that of fish in C-6W treatment. In addition, feeding rate of fish in C-6W treatment was higher than that of fish in HP-6W, HL-6W and CPCL-6W treatments. Feed and protein efficiency ratios of fish in HP-6W, HC-6W, HL-6W and CPCL-6W treatments were higher than those of fish in C-6W treatment. None of moisture, crude protein and ash content of the whole body of fish excluding the liver was different among treatments. Dietary supplementation of protein, carbohydrate, lipid and their combination could improve compensatory growth of fish when fish were fed for 6 weeks after 2-week feed deprivation; especially, supplementation of dietary protein was the most effective to improve compensatory growth of fish.

In earth orbit, a great number of orbital debris move around in extremely high velocity, and they become serious threats to satellites. In this study, smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH) is used to analyze the damage of a low earth orbit satellite due to the hypervelocity impact with orbital debris. The damage of honeycomb sandwich panel(HC/SP) used for walls of a satellite is analyzed with respect to impact velocities. For the additional analysis to examine the safety of interior components of the satellite, an attached electronic box and an offset electronic box are considered. As a result of the analysis considering the orbital debris having a probability of collision more than 2% at altitude of 685km, it is shown that the HC/SP can be perforated but only small craters are formed on both the attached electronic box and the offset electronic box.
