Replacing conventional Si diodes with SiC diodes in Si insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules is advantageous as it can reduce power losses significantly. Also, the fast switching nature of the SiC diode will allow Si IGBTs to operate at their full high-switching-speed potential, which at present conventional Si diodes cannot do. In this work, the electrical test results for Si-IGBT/4HSiC-Schottky hybrid substrates (hybrid SiC substrates) are presented. These substrates are built for two voltage ratings, 1.7 kV and 3.3 kV. Comparisons of the 1.7 kV and the 3.3 kV Si-IGBT/Si-diode substrates (Si substrates) at room temperature ($20^{\circ}C$, RT) and high temperature ($H125^{\circ}C$, HT) have shown that the switching losses in hybrid SiC substrates are miniscule as compared to those in Si substrates but necessary steps are required to mitigate the ringing observed in the current waveforms. Also, the effect of design variations on the electrical performance of 1.7 kV, 50 A diodes is reported here. These variations are made in the active and termination regions of the device.

Corrosion is a natural, inevitable process, and is one of the world's most serious problems. Losses incurred due to corrosion are extremely expensive for society. Several technological strategies have been explored and implemented to address these losses. The use of inhibitors to prevent corrosion is a common and efficient method to reduce corrosion losses. This review covers Al and Al-composite corrosion inhibitors in chloride-containing solutions, because of their popularity in a broad array of industrial applications. A vast number of studies in the literature detail the common tendency of Al and Al-composites with reinforcements to deteriorate. Accordingly, it is worthwhile to employ inhibitors to protect them, as discussed in the present work. The emphasis is on selecting the smartest corrosion inhibitor and evaluating its performance. According to the study, the most commonly used corrosion inhibitors are 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), 1,5-naphthalene diol, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol (ATAT), ammonium tetrathiotungstate, clotrimazole, amoxicillin, antimicrobial and antifungal drugs. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic (PDP), and weight loss were among the most commonly used modern electrochemical technologies to test inhibitors' efficacy under environmental conditions.

This study investigated legal environments on customers' experiences of accidential losses in a restaurant service. A wide review of the cases showed that restaurant customers' experiences of accidential losses are classified into 11 types as follows; loss of personal belongings with posted warning, loss of personal longings without posted warning, injuries in a restaurant with posted warning, injuries in a restaurant without posted warning, injuries while eating, food poisoning, injuries from defective tablewares, allergic reactions, illegal or unsanitary food supplies, and false labeling of countries of origin. The results of this exploratory study revealed that the respondents had experienced some out of those 11 incidents in average 2.6 times in all of their restaurant visits, and the incidents frequently happened in independent restaurants rather than in fast-food establishments, family restaurants, or hotel restaurants. The results also showed that the accidents from illegal or unsanitary food supplies was happened most frequently and false labeling of countries of origin was mostly anticipated increasing in the future.

강우에 의해서 발생하는 토양유실은 비옥한 표토를 유실시켜 생산성의 저하를 초래하고, 유실된 토양입자는 하천이나 호수, 댐 등에 퇴적되어 저수용량의 감소와 수질관리에 어려움을 야기 시키므로 이에 대한 대처가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 위성 영상과 GIS 기법을 활용하여 유역내 토양침식에 영향을 미치는 토양조건, 피복조건, 지형조건들을 추출하고 이 요소들을 범용토양유실공식(USLE; Universal Soil Loss Equation)에 적용하여 유입퇴적량 및 유입 가능성이 높은 위치를 파악하였다. 또한 유입되어 하상에 쌓여 있는 퇴적량은 투과성이 강한 음향측심기를 활용하여 퇴적층과 지층의 고도 정보를 획득하여 산정하고 유실량과 퇴적량을 비교하여 퇴적되는 비율을 도출하였다.

Subsurface drainage improves crop productivity in poorly drained soils but may also substantially contribute impairment of surface water quality due to excess leaching losses of nutrients like Nitrate-Nitrogen (NO₃-N). This research presents preliminary findings from a 3-years tile depth and spacing study in Illinois state that includes three drain spacings implemented in 2 plots. We found that the plot with the narrower subsurface drainage (Case 1) exported more drainage water compared to the plot with the narrower subsurface drainage system (Case 2). The total drainage water from Case 1 plot showed 57% more compared to Case 2 plot. Whereas we observed that the plot with narrower drain spacing (Case 1) exported only 9% more NO₃-N leaching losses compared to the wider plot (Case 2). The average corn yield was observed higher in plot Case 1 compared to Case 2. Especially, we observed about 7% higher corn yield in plot Case 1 compared to Case 2 plot in the relatively dried year (2022). The preliminary findings for this study suggest that subsurface drainage systems can be optimized to reduce nutrient losses while improving the crop productivity.

Generally, dietary fibre (DF) includes lignin, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) and resistant starch (RS). In monogastric species, low levels of dietary fibre in the diet are associated with various diseases and high levels reduce nutrient digestibilities. In this study, the effects of different types and levels of NSP (soluble: $\beta$-glucan, insoluble cellulose) and resistant starch on mucin secretion and endogenous nitrogen and amino acid losses in pigs were investigated. A total of 25 five-week-old weaner pigs (9.5 kg${\pm}$1.5 kg), were randomly allocated to each of five experimental diets. Different levels of purified barley $\beta$-glucan (BG) extract (5 or 10% of $Glucagel^{(R)}$ $\beta$-glucan, providing 4 or 8% of BG in the diet), and resistant starch (RS) (8.3 or 16.6% of Hi-$Maize^{TM}$, providing 5 or 10% RS in the diet) were substituted for wheat starch in a purified diet in which enzymatically-hydrolysed casein was the sole source of protein. The diets were fed for 21 days. No statistically significant difference between treatments (p>0.05) was observed for growth performance and organs weights. No difference in ileal starch digestibility was observed between pigs on the cellulose or $\beta$-glucan diets. However, as the level of resistant starch in the diet increased the ileal starch digestibility decreased (p<0.05). The inclusion of resistant starch in the diet (5 or 10%) did not increase mucin production when compared with the cellulose-only diet. However, as the level of beta-glucan in the diet increased, both crude mucin in the digesta dry matter and per kg dry matter intake increased (p<0.05). Pigs fed the diet containing 8% of beta-glucan had higher endogenous loss flow than those fed the diets including 5 or 10% of resistant starch or 4% of $\beta$-glucan. In conclusion, dietary inclusion of resistant starch increased the level of starch reaching the large intestine without any effect on mucin secretion, or endogenous nitrogen or amino acid losses content in the small intestine. The addition of $\beta$-glucan to a diet containing cellulose increases both mucin secretion and endogenous amino acid and nitrogen losses in the small intestine.

본 연구에서는 철도차량용 추진시스템에 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기(IPMSM)를 적용하기 위하여 110kW급 고출력밀도 IPMSM을 집중권/분포권 모델로 각각 설계하였다. 집중권 모델은 6극 9슬롯 구조이고, 분포권 모델은 6극 36슬롯 구조이다. 일반적으로 IPMSM의 영구자석에서의 와전류 손실은 슬롯 고조파에 의해 발생된다. IPMSM의 고속 회전 시 와전류 손실에 의한 영구자석의 열적 감자현상은 특히 집중권 IPMSM에서 주요 문제가 된다. 영구자석에서의 와전류 손실을 줄이는 설계는 고속 운전을 필요로 하는 철도차량 추진시스템용 IPMSM 설계에 있어서 중요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 영구자석에서의 와전류 손실을 줄이기 위하여 영구자석을 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 저자는 영구자석의 분할 개수를 변화시면서 IPMSM 집중권 모델의 영구자석에서 발생되는 와전류 손실의 변화 특성을 분석한다.

To study the effects of an urease inhibitor, N-(n-butyl)-thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), and a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide (DCD), on nitrogen losses and nitrogen use efficiency, urea fertilizer with or without inhibitors and slowrelease fertilizer (synthetic thermoplastic resins coated urea) were applied to direct-seeded flooded rice fields in 1998. In the urea and the urea+DCD treatments, NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N concentrations reached 50 mg N L$^{-1}$ after application. Urea+NBPT and urea+ NBPT+DCD treatments maintained NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N concentrations below 10 mg N L$^{-1}$ in the floodwater, while the slow-release fertilizer application maintained the lowest concentration of NH$_4$$^{+}$ -N in floodwater. The ammonia losses of urea+NBPT and urea+NBPT+DCD treatments were lower than those of urea and urea+DCD treatments during the 30 days after fertilizer application. It was found that N loss due to ammonia volatilization was minimized in the treatments of NBPT with urea and the slow-release fertilizer. The volatile loss of urea+DCD treatment was not significantly different from that of urea surface application. It was found that NBPT delayed urea hydrolysis and then decreased losses due to ammonia volatilization. DCD, a nitrification inhibitor, had no significant effect on ammonia loss under flooded conditions. The slow-release fertilizer application reduced ammonia volatilization loss most effectively. As N0$_3$$^{[-10]}$ -N concentrations in the soil water indicated that leaching losses of N were negligible, DCD was not effective in inhibiting nitrification in the flooded soil. The amount of N in plants was especially low in the slow-release fertilizer treatment during the early growth stage for 15 days after fertilization. The amount of N in the rice plants, however, was higher in the slow-release fertilizer treatment than in other treatments at harvest. Grain yields in the treatments of slow-release fertilizer, urea+NBPT+ DCD and urea+NBPT were significantly higher than those in the treatments of urea and urea+DCD. NBPT treatment with urea and the slow-release fertilizer application were effective in both reducing nitrogen losses and increasing grain yield by improving N use efficiency in direct-seeded flooded rice field.field.

우리나라에서는 봄철에 콩과목초를 수확한 후 포장 건조시 목초의 수량 및 품질손실에 관한 연구는 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 시험은 콩과목초인 알팔파(Medicago sativa L.), 크림손 클로버 (Trifolium incarnatum L.) 및 레드 클로버(Trifolium pratense L.)를 봄철 포장에 건조하였을 때 콩과목초의 수량 및 품질 손실에 관한 정보를 얻기 위하여 수행하였으며 결과는 다음과 같다. 알팔파의 수확시 건물 함량은 15%로 가장 높았으며, 크림손 및 레드 클로버의 건물 함량은 각각 12.4 및 11.5%였다. 이러한 초종간의 건물 함량의 차이는 포장 건조기간 중에 계속 유지되었다. 건물 함량이 80% 이상이 되는데 알팔파는 7일이 소요되었으나, 크림손 및 레드 클로버는 8일이 소요되었다. 크림손 클로버 및 알팔파의 건물당 잎과 줄기의 비는 레드클로버보다 높았으나, 조단백질 함량을 가지고 비교할 때 잎과 줄기 비는 레드 클로버가 크림손 클로버 및 알팔파보다 높았다. 건조기간중 탈엽에 의한 건물 손실률은 알팔파가 크림손 클로버 및 레드 클로버보다 높았으며, 조단백질의 손실률도 초종간의 차이가 같은 경향을 보였다. 생초와 건초의 사료가치 비교에서 생초는 조단백질(CP), 가소화영양소총량(TDN) 및 상대사료가치(RFV)에서 높았고, 건초는 ADF 및 NDF 함량이 낮았다. 이상의 연구결과를 볼 때 봄철(5월 중순)에 포장에서 건조된 건초는 건조기간 중 탈엽에 의한 조단백질의 손실이 높기 때문에 ADF 및 NDF 함량보다는 조단백질 함량에 더 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있다.

In this review, the terminology that is used to describe ileal amino acid (AA) digestibilities in piglet feed ingredients is defined. If one accepts that the determination of AA digestibilities should be based on the ileal analysis method, one should consider that ileal digesta contains variable amounts of endogenous crude protein (CP), which originates mainly from digestive secretions, sloughedoff epithelial cells and mucins. The ileal endogenous CP and AA losses are separated into basal ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{B}$), which are not influenced by the feed ingredient composition, and specific ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{S}$), which are induced by feed ingredient characteristics such as level and type of fiber and anti-nutritional factors (ANF). Depending how ileal endogenous CP and AA losses are considered in the measurement of CP and AA digestibilities, digestibility values are expressed as apparent (AID), standardized (SID), or true (TID) ileal digestibilities of CP and AA. The main concern associated with the use of AID values in diet formulation for pigs is that they are not additive in mixtures of feed ingredients. Consequently, the concept of standardized ileal CP and AA digestibilities was introduced by correcting AID values for basal ileal endogenous CP and AA losses ($IAAL_{B}$). The correction for both $IAAL_{B}$ and $IAAL_{S}$ yields TID values, however, routine procedures to measure $IAAL_{S}$ are not yet available. In principle, SID values should be preferred, because they represent the fundamental properties of the feed ingredient. There exist only few reports on SID of CP and AA in feedstuffs frequently used in piglet nutrition. These include soybeans (SB), soybean meal (SBM), soy proteins (SP), soy protein concentrate (SPC), soy protein isolate (SPI), corn gluten (CG), wheat gluten (WG), pea protein (PeaP), potato protein (PotP), fish meal (FM) and whey proteins (WP), but the results obtained are inconsistent. Differences in SID values within feed ingredients may, at least in part, be attributed to different processing conditions or inherent differences of the assay feed ingredients. Moreover, there is some evidence that the determination of SID values and $IAAL_{B}$ in piglets may be confounded by the dietary CP level of the assay diet, age and (or) body weight (BW), the level of feed intake or the methodological approach used to determine $IAAL_{B}$.
