  • We investigated differences between effects of natural- and bucket-suckling methods on basal serum oxytocin (OT) and cortisol concentrations, and the effect of OT concentration on affiliative and investigative behavior of calves to a novel object. Ten Japanese Black calves, balanced with birth order, were allocated evenly to natural-suckling (NS) and bucket suckling (BS) groups. Blood samples were collected at the ages of 1 and 2 months (1 week after weaning) calves, and serum OT and cortisol concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and enzymeimmunoassay tests, respectively. Each calf at the age of 2 months (2 weeks after weaning) was released into an open-field with a calf decoy, and its investigative and affiliative behaviors were recorded for 20 minutes. In 1-month-old calves, the basal serum OT concentration ($25.5{\pm}4.9$ [mean${\pm}$standard deviation, pg/mL]) of NS was significantly higher than that of BS ($16.9{\pm}6.7$) (p<0.05), whereas the basal cortisol concentration ($5.8{\pm}2.5$ [mean${\pm}$standard deviation, ng/mL]) of NS was significantly lower than that in BS ($10.0{\pm}2.8$) (p<0.05). Additionally, a negative correlation was noted between serum OT and cortisol concentrations in 1-month-old calves (p = 0.06). Further, the higher serum OT concentration the calves had at 1 month old, the more investigative the calves were at 2 months old but not affiliative in the open-field with a calf decoy. Thus, we concluded that the natural suckling method from a dam elevates the basal serum OT concentration in calves, and high serum OT concentrations induce investigative behavior and attenuate cortisol concentrations.

  • Since environmental pollution emerges as an important issue, integration of academic discipline has been accomplished for development of environmental ethics. Combination of Buddhism and Ecology is the instance of this background. The background of this research is the assumption that from Seon Ecology standpoint, Buddhist temple would define conception of Seon Ecology specifically. The study based on advanced study about Seon Ecology, the peculiarity of Seon Ecology was dependent originations, order, the nature of Buddha, moderation, and impersonated nature. In addition, this study researched how these peculiarity has relation with traditional temples. This attempt has a significance in that finding a new approach of interpreting traditional temple and possibility of Seon Ecology Seon Ecology space formative concepts of traditional temple is cyclical allness, transitory balance, Denial of perfection and natural void characteristics from Seon Ecological studies. This study examined how characteristic of Seon Ecology is reflected in traditional temple, through analyzing Buseoksa-Anyangru, Bongjeongsa-Yeonsanam, Seonamsa simgeomdang, Songgwangsa woohwagak, Hwaamsa woohwaru which have remarkable characteristic of selection using above space formative concepts. traditional temple was filled with life coexisted with dynamics, independence, and equality within interrelationship between nature and architecture.

  • 본 연구는 천연 zeolite를 파쇄하여 일정크기의 입제를 생산하는 과정에서 부산물로 생산되는 다량의 미분을 이용하여 양이온치환용량이 높은 입상의 흡착제를 개발할 목적으로 수행하였다. 천연 zeolite를 알카리 용액의 열수합성법을 활용하여 Na-P zeolite로 전환시켰다. 반응시간별 합성과정 중 광물학적 특성 변화를 X-선회절, 주사전자현미경, 화학조성 및 CEC의 변화를 통하여 구명하였다. 주상 Na-P zeolite의 입단은 천연 zeolite-숯혼합물을 약 3 mm 두께로 압축성형한 후 열처리하였으며, 연속적인 3 M NaOH 처리로 천연 zeolite의 주요구성광물인 climoptile, moderite, 장석 등의 광물이 파괴되고 새로이 구형의 Na-P zeolite가 24시간 처리에서 관찰되었다. 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 잔류용액 중 Si/AI비는 감소하였으며, 입단 크기의 증가에도 불구하고 Na-P zeolite의 CEC는 출발물질로 사용된 미분의 천연 zeolite에 비하여 2배 이상 증가하였다.
