This study elucidated the effects of limited concentrate feeding on growth, plasma profile, and gene expression of gluconeogenic enzymes and visfatin in the liver of Hanwoo beef calves. The purpose of this study was to test that reducing the amount of concentrate would partially be compensated by increasing the intake of forage and by altering the metabolic status. The study utilized 20 Korean native beef calves (Hanwoo; 60 to 70 d of age) divided into two groups of 10 calves each for 158 d. Control group calves received the amount of concentrate as per the established Korean feeding standards for Hanwoo, whereas calves in the restricted group only received half the amount of concentrate as per standard requirements. Good quality forage (Timothy hay) was available for ad libitum consumption to both groups. Since calves were with their dam until 4 months of age in breeding pens before weaning, the intake of milk before weaning was not recorded, however, the concentrate and forage intakes were recorded daily. Body weights (BW) were recorded at start and on 10 d interval. Blood samples were collected at start and at 50 d interval. On the final day of the experiment, liver biopsies were collected from all animals in each group. The BW was not different between the groups at all times, but tended to be higher (p = 0.061) only at final BW in control than restricted group. Total BW gain in the control group was 116.2 kg as opposed to 84.1 kg in restricted group that led to average BW gain of 736 g/d and 532 g/d in respective groups, and the differences were significant (p<0.01). As planned, the calves in the control group had higher concentrate and lower forage intake than the restricted group. The plasma variables like total protein and urea were higher (p<0.05) in control than restricted group. The mRNA expressions for the gluconeogenic enzymes such as cytosolic phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (EC 4.1.1.32) and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1), and visfatin measured by quantitative real-time PCR in liver biopsies showed higher expression (p<0.05) in restricted group than control. Overall, restricting concentrate severely reduced the growth intensity and affected few plasma indices, and gene expression in liver was increased indicating that restricting concentrate in the feeding schemes during early growth for beef calves is not advocated.

국내 건설 및 엔지니어링 산업은 근래 복지를 중시하는 정치, 사회적인 풍조로 인하여 인프라에 대한 투자 감소, SOC 예산의 감소, 대형 건설 산업에 대한 국민적 반감 등 총체적인 위기 국면을 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 위기를 타개하기 위하여 건설 및 엔지니어링 기업들은 해외 시장을 적극적으로 공략할 수밖에 없는 상황에 놓여 있다. 이러한 상황에서 국내 업체 및 인력의 해외진출 관련 역량에 대하여 명확히 판단할 수 있는 정량적 바로미터가 필요성이 대두된다. 본 연구는 이론적 고찰부분에서 건설산업 역량 및 지표관련 연구 및 문헌을 조사하여 현재 도출된 건설산업 해외진출 관련 역량 및 분석법을 조사하고 이후, 거시적 미시적 환경분석을 통하여 건설산업과 연관된 역량들을 도출하여 앞서 진행한 연구 및 문헌조사의 결과와 함께 분석하여 국내 건설산업의 해외 진출을 위한 역량들을 도출한다. 이후 실무자 위주의 설문조사결과를 바탕으로 AHP 분석을 실시하여 각 역량별 상대적 중요도 분석을 통하여 역량별 가중치를 도출한다. 마지막으로 이를 바탕으로 각 역량별 가중치를 이용한 건설 해외역량 지표를 시공 및 엔지니어링의 관점에서 각각 도출하였다. 엔지니어링 분야에서 도출된 지표는 주로 사업관리 부분에 집중되어 있으며 금융관리 부분의 PF 사업 진출확대 및 글로벌 협력 역량을 필요로 하는 것을 알 수 있다. 이는 엔지니어링 분야의 기존 업무인 설계 뿐만 아니라 사업관리 및 금융관리부분으로의 업무영역 확대의 필요성을 느끼고, 확대하고자 하는 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 시공 분야에서 도출된 지표는 모든 영역에서 고르게 분포한 결과가 도출되었다. 실제 현장에서 활용하는 기술의 필요성은 의심의 여지가 없으나 사업관리 및 금융관리 에서도 건설 기술과 비등하게 가중치가 높게 도출되어 현재 해외에서 원하는 사업방식인 EPC 사업에서의 기술 외 영역이 중요해 짐에 따라 강화를 요하는 것으로 판단된다. 도출된 지표는 해외진출을 위해 현재 가지고 있는 역량을 평가하고 이 중 부족한 부분이 무엇인지를 파악하여 향후 개발해야 할 역량에 대한 바로미터로서의 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 해외진출역량의 정량적 측정 이외에도 이러한 지표와 업체의 수주량/수주액 등과 직접적인 대조를 통한 성과측정의 방법론으로 사용가능할 것으로 예상된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different feeding regimen on the growth and nutrients excretion in finishing pigs. A total of 80 pigs (59.91 kg BW) and 6 pigs (85 kg BW) were employed in a growth trial and metabolic trial, respectively. Treatments were grower-grower (GG), grower-early finisher(GE), early finisher-early finisher (EE), and early finisher-late finisher (EL) diet feeding regimens for feeding trial and G, E, L diets for metabolic trial. Through whole experimental period, no significant difference was found in any of the criteria measured. Pigs fed on a GG regimen gained slightly faster than pigs fed on other feeding regimens, with no significant difference. Although there was a trend that pigs fed on a GG or GE regimen showed improved feed/gain over pigs fed on a EE or EL regimen, the difference also was not significant. In the metabolic trial, dry matter and phosphorus digestibility was not affected by diets, however, phosphorus digestibility tended to be decreased as nutrients contents was decreasing in the diets. Crude protein digestibility was significantly influenced by the nutrients contents in th diets. The data suggested that 11.7% crude protein seemed to be low for the 85 kg pigs. Though nutrients excretion was not significantly influenced by dietary treatment except phosphorus, there was a trend that pigs fed diets with low nutrient content excreted less amount of nitrogen and phosphorus than pigs fed diets with high nutrients content. There was a trend that GG or GE feeding regimen gad a favorable effect on carcass grade when only 10 lighter pigs of each treatment were subjected to statistical analysis. However, with 10 heavier pigs, EE and EL feeding regimen showed better carcass grade, though the difference was not significant. In summary, it seemed that producers generally oversupply the expensive nutrients for the finishing pigs. High nutrient diets do not always guarantee high growth rate of pigs. It rather seems that to meet nutrient requirements for the each growth phase is more important in economical pork production.

As is in all economic activities, the highest yield per unit area is the main goal in animal production, while addressing the temperamental needs of animals often is ignored. Animal welfare is not only an ethical fact; it also has an economic value. Spatial environmental enrichment contributes positively to animal welfare by addressing their behavioral and mental requirements. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of weaning and spatial environmental arrangements on behaviors of goat-kids. Experimental groups were arranged in structured and unstructured spatial environments. Roughage feeder, semi-automatic concentrate feeder, bunk, bridge, and wood block were placed in the structured environment. No equipment was placed in the unstructured environment and paddock sides were enclosed with an iron sheet to prevent bipedal stance and to provide environmental isolation. In the study 10 male and 10 female Turkish Saanen goat kids were used in each group. Spatial environmental arrangements did not have significant impacts on the growth performance of kids (p>0.05). All objects in the structured group were accepted by the kids. Average use ratios of roughage feeder, semi-automatic concentrate feeder, bunk, bridge and wood block were observed as 19.3%, 14.0%, 12.6%, 3.8%, and 0.7%, respectively. There were significant differences between before- and after-weaning in use of all objects except for underneath bridge ($p{\leq}0.05$). Concentrate feed consumption, locomotion, and resting behaviors in kids showed significant differences by structural group and growth period. Roughage consumption was similar between groups, while it differed by growth period ($p{\leq}0.05$). Interaction frequency was significantly higher in structured group (p = 0.0023). Playing behavior significantly differentiated based on the growth period rather than on groups ($p{\leq}0.05$). Playing behavior significantly decreased after weaning. Abnormal oral activity was significantly higher in the structured group before weaning ($p{\leq}0.05$). Despite there being no installations facilitating climbing and bipedal stance, the kids of the unstructured group were able to exhibit 1/3 as much bipedal stance behavior as the kids of the structured group through leaning over slippery paddock wall or over their groupmates. Bipedal stance behavior of unstructured group was similar before and after weaning, while bipedal stance behavior before weaning was about 2 times that of after weaning in structured group. It was concluded that unstructured environmental arrangement limited the behavior repertoire of the goat kids.

The objective of this study was to determine optimal lysine requirement of lactating Mong Cai sows and their piglets. An experiment was conducted using 30 Mong Cai sows in a factorial randomized design with 5 dietary total lysine levels (0.60, 0.70, 0.85, 1.0 and 1.15%) for one-week pre-partum and 5 dietary total lysine levels (0.60, 0.75, 0.90, 1.05 and 1.2%) for lactation diets. Mong Cai sows were about 1 to 2 years old and had an initial body weight of 120 kg (sd = 2.5) after farrowing. Sows were restrictively fed 1.7 kg feed during gestation and were fed ad libitum during lactation. Diets of sows contained about 12% CP during pregnancy and about 14% CP for the lactation period. DE concentration of the diets ranged between 12.5-13.0 MJ of DE. Water was supplied at up to 8 liters per sow per day in a basin. Studied traits were related to both sows and their progeny. Sows were weighed at 107 days of gestation, after farrowing and at weaning. Sow back-fat depth was measured at 110 days of gestation, after farrowing, at 21 days of lactation and at weaning. Number of piglets born, at 24 h after birth, at 21 days of age and at weaning were recorded. Piglets were weighte at birth, at 21 days and at weaning. Supplying lysine one week pre-partum had no effect on the number of piglets born nor litter weight at birth (p = 0.776 and p = 0.224). A positive effect of increasing dietary lysine level during lactation from 0.60 to 1.20% was observed with regard to less sow weight loss, and increased piglet weight at 21 days and at weaning. The level of lysine that resulted in the lowest sow backfat loss and the highest weaned piglet weight was 1.05%; this may be the optimum level of lysine for the diet of lactating Mong Cai sows. At this lysine level, the number of weaned piglets was also highest.

산업용 무선 센서 네트워크는 여러 산업 분야에서의 생산성 향상, 비용 절감 등을 위해 사용되고 있으며, 저지연, 고신뢰 데이터 전송과 같은 성능을 요구한다. 이를 달성하기 위해서, 산업용 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 네트워크 매니저를 통해 네트워크 위상에 대한 그래프 생성 및 자원 할당을 수행하여, 각 장치의 전송 주기 및 경로를 미리 결정한다. 하지만, 이러한 네트워크 관리 방법은 네트워크 위상 변화 시에 그래프 재생성 및 자원 재할당을 수행해야 하므로, 잦은 위상 변화가 발생하는 네트워크 환경에서는 관리비용 증가와 요구성능의 일시적 저하와 같은 현상이 발생하므로 적합하지 않다. 즉, 최근에 다양한 이동 장치를 활용하는 산업용 무선 센서 네트워크에서는 이동 장치로 인한 경로 단절 및 경로 재구성 과정에서 발생하는 지연 전송과 전송 신뢰성 저하를 방지할 수 있는 네트워크 관리 방안에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기계학습을 이용하여 이동 장치의 시간별 위치 및 이동 주기를 분석하고, 이에 기반한 이동 패턴을 추출한다. 또한, 추출된 이동 패턴 정보를 기반으로 예측되는 시간별 네트워크 위상에 대한 그래프 생성 및 자원 할당을 수행하는 네트워크 관리 기능을 제안함으로써, 이동 장치의 이동으로 인한 성능 저하의 문제를 방지한다. 성능평가 결과는 제안 방안이 추출한 이동 패턴과 실제 이동 패턴을 비교하였을 때 약 86%의 예측 정확도를 보이고, 기존의 방법에 비해 높은 전송 성공률 및 낮은 자원 점유율의 성능을 보여준다.

해상 객체 인식은 자율운항선박(MASS)의 지능형 보조 시스템으로써, 선장이 육안으로 해상 주변의 충돌 위험성이 있는 부유물을 확인하던 정보를 컴퓨터를 통해 자동으로 인식하여 사람이 확인하는 방법과 유사한 정확도로 인지하는 방법을 말한다. 선박 주변의 물체를 인식하는 방법으로 기존에는 레이더나 소나와 같은 장치로부터 수집된 정보를 통해 확인하였지만, 인공지능의 기술이 발달하면서 선박 지능형 CCTV를 통해 운항 항로에 있는 다양한 부유물을 인식하는 것이 가능하다. 하지만, 자율 선박의 다양한 요구사항과 복잡성 때문에 영상 데이터의 처리속도가 느려지게 된다면 원활한 서비스 지원은 물론 안전성도 보장할 수 없게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 해상 객체를 검출하는 데 있어 영상 데이터의 연산량을 최소화하여 처리속도를 높이기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 해상 객체 인식의 관심 영역을 확보하기 위해서는 일반적으로 수평선을 찾는데 기존 연구들은 허프 변환 알고리즘을 활용하지만 본 논문에서는 속도를 개선하기 위해 이진화 알고리즘을 최적화하여 실제 객체의 위치와 유사한 영역을 찾는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 방법의 유용성을 증명하기 위해 딥러닝 CNN을 활용하여 해상 객체 인식 시스템을 구현함으로써 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하였다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존 방법의 인식 정확도를 유지하면서 약 4배 이상의 빠른 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a fire HRA (Human Reliability Analysis) procedure for full power operation of domestic NPPs (Nuclear Power Plants). For the development of fire HRA procedure, the recent research results of NUREG-1921 in an effort to meet the requirements of the ASME/ANS PRA Standard were reviewed. The K-HRA method, a standard method for HRA of a domestic level 1 PSA (Probabilistic Safety Assessment) and fire related procedures in domestic NPPs were reviewed. Based on the review, a procedure for the fire HRA required for a domestic fire PSA based on the K-HRA method was developed. To this end, HRA issues such as new operator actions required in the event of a fire and complexity of fire situations were considered. Based on the four kinds of HFE (Human Failure Event) developed for a fire HRA in this research, a qualitative analysis such as feasibility evaluation was suggested. And also a quantitative analysis process which consists of screening analysis and detailed analysis was proposed. For the qualitative analysis, a screening analysis by NUREG-1921 was used. In this research, the screening criteria for the screening analysis was modified to reduce vague description and to reflect recent experimental results. For a detailed analysis, the K-HRA method and scoping analysis by NUREG-1921 were adopted. To apply K-HRA to fire HRA for quantification, efforts to modify PSFs (Performance Shaping Factors) of K-HRA to reflect fire situation and effects were made. For example, an absence of STA (Shift Technical Advisor) to command a fire brigade at a fire area is considered and the absence time should be reflected for a HEP (Human Error Probability) quantification. Based on the fire HRA procedure developed in this paper, a case study for HEP quantification such as a screening analysis and detailed analysis with the modified K-HRA was performed. It is expected that the HRA procedure suggested in this paper will be utilized for fire PSA for domestic NPPs as it is the first attempt to establish an HRA process considering fire effects.

Background: Major amino acids in pig diets are Lys, Met, Thr, and Trp, but little is known about the requirements for the other essential amino acids, especially on odorous compounds and microbial characteristics in feces of growing-finishing pigs. To this end, different levels of amino acid composition added to diets to investigate the effects of amino acid composition on microbial characteristics and odorous compounds concentration. Methods: A total eight (n = 8) barrows (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire ${\times}$ Duroc) with an average bodyweight of $89.38{\pm}3.3kg$ were individually fed diets formulated by Korean Feeding Standards 2007 (old version) or 2012 (updated with ideal protein concept) in metabolism crates with two replication. After 15-day adaptation period, fresh faecal samples were collected directly from pigs every week for 4 weeks and analysed for total volatile fatty acids (VFA), phenols and indoles by using gas chromatography. The nitrogen was determined by Kjeldahl method. Bacterial communities were detected by using a 454 FLX titanium pyrosequencing system. Results: Level of VFA tended to be greater in 2012 than 2007 group. Among VFAs, 2012 group had greater (p < 0.05) level of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) than control.Concentration of odorous compounds in feces was also affected by amino acid composition in pig diet. Levels of ammonium and indoles tended to be higher in 2012 group when compared with 2007 group.Concentration of phenols, p-cresol, biochemical oxygen demand, and total Kjeldahl nitrogen, however, were lower (P < 0.05) in 2012 treatment group compare to 2007. The proportion of Firmicute phylum were decreased, while the Bacteriodetes phylum proportion increased and bacterial genera includingCoprococcus, Bacillus, and Bacteroides increased (p < 0.05) in 2012 compare to 2007 group. Conclusion: Results from our current study indicates that well balanced amino acid composition reduces odor by modulating the gut microbial community. Administration of pig diet formulated with the ideal protein concept may help improve gut fermentation as well as reduce the odor causing compounds in pig manure.
