A dose-response experiment was conducted to determine the lysine requirement for broiler breeder hens during pre-peak production. Totally, one hundred and twenty-six flock 23-week-old Ross 308 broiler breeder hens with similar body weight were selected ($2,188{\pm}32g$) for a 6-week experiment. Hens were fed with a basal diet of corn-wheat-soybean meal formulated to achieve the Ross 308 breeder nutrient specifications (2016), except for lysine. The 7 graded, daily lysine intake levels used in this experiment were 732, 785, 838, 891, 944, 997, and 1,050 mg, and hens were restricted to 133 g of feed throughout this experiment. Pen based egg production were recorded once a day and all eggs were weighed daily. Age at sexual maturity was determined when the hens attained age at 25% production. Body weight at 23~29 weeks of age was not affected (P>0.05) by lysine levels. By fitting a linear-plateau model, the daily lysine requirements for feed conversion ratio, total produced egg weight, and age at sexual maturity at 23~29 weeks of age were estimated as 865, 907, and 891 mg, respectively. Using a quadratic-plateau model, the daily lysine requirement at 23~29 weeks of age were estimated as 974, 964, and 950 mg for feed conversion ratio, total produced egg weight, and age at sexual maturity, respectively. These results suggested that the daily lysine requirement for modern broiler breeder hens according to the National Research Council (1994) are insufficient for higher total produced egg weight, sexual maturity, and feed efficiency, and 120% of the NRC recommendation level would improve hen productivity when data are fitted under linear- and quadratic-plateau models.

Recently EA(Enterprise Architecture) has been receiving growing attentions again from the public sectors. It is because EA maturity result is reflected to the organization's informatization level and EA maturity ratio has been enlarged. There has been more participation from the Chief Information Officers of the public sectors. EA research in the public sectors has influenced IT environment since the research started in late '90, the legislation work done in '05, and the maturity model developed in '06. However, there are some remaining tasks to solve. EA policy is introduction oriented, its contribution to the consecutive the best UN e-Government rank is limited, and its user-friendly responding system is still lacking. Related research outcomes are rather microscopic focusing only on the models and maturity than implicating on the public policy in a macroscopic manner. In this respect, this study will provide the implication on how EA policy should be. Requirements derived from EA stakeholders and the tasks will be arranged in accordance with its domain, then the performance and tasks will be demonstrated. As guiding EA stake holders and information related officers to setup the EA policy with these results, this study is expected to support information the policy drivers.

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the application of VV&A on the development of war-game models which were developed in Korea. Then we propose VV&A framework which comprises VV&A basic model, VV&A reference model and a supporting tool. The VV&A basic model consists of VV&A process, products and methodologies. The VV&A reference model includes VV&A check lists for each VV&A activities, an assessment model of VV&A execution level and VV&A process maturity model. The VV&A supporting tool is to document and manage VV&A products. The proposed VV&A framework can be used as the foundation of VV&A plan on its execution.

System thermal-hydraulic codes have been used in the past decades in the areas of design, operation, licensing and safety of Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). The development and validation of these codes have reached a high degree of maturity, through the consideration of huge experiments and advanced numerical models. Nowadays, the analyses are based upon realistic approaches rather than the conservative evaluation models. However the applications of these computational tools require preliminary qualification issues. Although huge amounts of financial and human resources have been invested for the development and improvement of codes, the calculation results are still affected by errors. In the sophisticated nuclear technology, design and safety of NPP, these errors must be quantified. An overview of the state of the art of the current thermal-hydraulic system code is developed and the need of uncertainty analysis in code calculations is emphasized. Several sources of uncertainty have been classified and commented, and typical applications of such methods are shown.

A SPICE (Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) and CMM (Capability Maturity Model) assessment can be considered as representative software process assessment models since assessors assign ratings to indicators and metrics to measure the capability of software precesses. But ail of process assessment models don't provide a subjective measurement procedure and metrics. In this paper we define basic quality process metrics and propose standard metrics for each process based on SPICE and CMM. This study also proposed a guideline for a subjective measurement procedure and the metrics are effectively use to SPI.

In this paper, we discuss two fundamental issues of hybrid scene representation: constructing and rendering. A hybrid scene consists of triangular meshes and point-set models. Consider the maturity of modeling techniques of triangular meshes, we suggest that generate a point-set model from a triangular mesh might be an easier and more economical way. We improve stratified sampling by introducing the concept of priority. Our method has the flexibility that one may easily change the importance criteria by substituting priority functions. While many works were devoted to blend rendering results of point and triangle, our work tries to render point-set models and triangular meshes as individuals. We propose a novel way to eliminate depth occlusion artifacts and to texture a point-set model. Finally, we implement our rendering algorithm with the new features of the shader model 4.0 and turns out to be easily integrated with existing rendering techniques for triangular meshes.

In order to improve the effectiveness of software process improvement, more than two models can be use to compensate the weakness of each other. One of integrated models is the one in which CMMI and software six sigma. However, it is very difficult for a small software development organization to select and apply an appropriate set of six sigma tools since there are a lot of six sigma tools and statistical knowledge is required. In this paper, we suggest a six sigma tool selection process to help small organizations select six sigma tools effectively based on organization business value. Thereby, small organizations can efficiently implement CMMI by adopting an appropriate set of six sigma toolkits.

The increasing variation in climatic conditions under climate change directly influences plant-microbe interactions. To account for as many variables as possible that may play critical roles in such interactions, the use of an integrated modeling approach is necessary. Here, we report for the first time a local impact assessment and adaptation study of future epidemics of kiwifruit bacterial blossom blight (KBB) in Jeonnam province, Korea, using an integrated modeling approach. This study included a series of models that integrated both the phenological responses of kiwifruit and the epidemiological responses of KBB to climatic factors with a 1 km resolution, under the RCP8.5 climate change scenario. Our results indicate that the area suitable for kiwifruit cultivation in Jeonnam province will increase and that the flowering date of kiwifruit will occur increasingly earlier, mainly due to the warming climate. Future epidemics of KBB during the predicted flowering periods were estimated using the Pss-KBB Risk Model over the predicted suitable cultivation regions, and we found location-specific, periodic outbreaks of KBB in the province through 2100. Here, we further suggest a potential, scientifically-informed, long-term adaptation strategy using a cultivar of kiwifruit with a different maturity period to relieve the pressures of future KBB risk. Our results clearly show one of the possible options for a local impact assessment and adaptation study using multiple models in an integrated way.

The Configuration management process is to establish and maintain the integrity of all the work products of a process or project. This paper discusses the similarities and differences between ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15846. The most widely used models for software process assesment, ISO/IEC 15504, CMM and CMMI can rate maturity of processes. We analyze and compare the practices for measuring Configuration process and propose metric for quantitative measure.
