본 연구는 우사의 향방에 의한 사육장 바닥면의 조건이 육우의 생산성에 미치는 영향을 구명할 목적으로 체중 570kg 내외의 거세한우 16두를 남, 북향 톱밥 자리깃 사육장에 각 8두씩 임의배치하고, 16주일간 사양시험을 실시한 후 증체율, 사료효율 및 도축성적을 분석하였던 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 투광성이 양호한 남향 사육장의 바닥면은 시험기간 중 표면의 건조 상태가 좋았으나 햇볕의 효과가 적은 북향 사육장은 결빙기 이전까지 다습하고 불규칙한 표면 상태를 나타내다가 결빙기에는 표면이 심하게 돌출 된 상태로 결빙되어 비육우의 휴식과 거동에 지장을 주었다. 남향 사육장과 북향 사육장에 수용된 거세우의 두당 일 평균 사료섭취량은 각각 10.39kg 및 10.32kg으로서 유의차가 없었으나 일당증체량은 각각 0.75kg과 0.64kg으로 나타나 표면 상태가 불량한 북향사육장이 14.3% 적었으며(p<0.05), 사료요구율은 각각 13.91 및 16.12로서 15.9%가 증가하였다(p<0.05). 또한 증체당 TDN 섭취량(TDN/gain)은 각각 11.47 및 13.25로 나타나 사료이용효율은 15.5%가량 저하되었다. 한편, 남쪽과 북쪽 사육장에서 사육된 거세우간의 출하체중, 도체중량, 도체율, 육량등급 및 육질의 통계적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로, 사육장의 위치로 인하여 바닥표면의 상태가 불량한 조건의 깔짚 축적식 우사에서 비육말기 거세우를 사육할 경우, 활동에너지 소비량의 증가와 휴식 시 접촉면을 통한 전도열의 손실요인이 발생하여 증체율 및 사료효율이 크게 저하될 수 있다는 점이 본 연구를 통해 밝혀졌다. 이러한 결과는 육우사육에서 축사의 방향 및 지붕자재 선정의 중요성을 시사한다.

The effects of tuna oil supplementation (0, 1, 2 and 3%) to pig diets on growth and carcass yield as well as meat quality were determined in 40 crossbred pigs. Animals were fattened from 30 to 90 kg of live-weight. Twenty-four hours after slaughter, following various early- and late-post mortem measurements, loin, backfat and belly were prepared from the carcasses. Bacon was produced from the belly part by curing and smoking. Neither performance (feed intake, daily gains, feed conversion efficiency) nor carcass quality (slaughter weight, dressing percentage, lean percentage, nutrient composition of the loin) were significantly affected by tuna oil supplementation. Tuna oil also had no clear effects on early- and late-post mortem meat quality traits, water-holding capacity and tenderness of the M. longissiumus dorsi (LD). Colour traits of LD and backfat, and backfat firmness were not significantly affected by tuna oil, either. However, there was a certain trend to elevated fat contents of LD (and bacon), but not of backfat, with increasing levels of tuna oil in feed. Pigs receiving elevated proportions of tuna oil expressed lower VLDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in blood plasma, whereas the cholesterol content of LD, backfat and bacon did not reflect this trend. Effects of tuna oil on fatty acids in LD, backfat and bacon were often small in extent, except those concerning the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. With 3% tuna oil in the diet, the contents of the particularly desired omega-3 fatty acids, C20:5 and C22:6, were 0.1 and 0.2 g/kg in LD. The corresponding values for backfat and bacon were 2.6 and 12.6 g/kg, and 1.3 and 9.2 g/kg, respectively. Tuna oil supplementation was associated with significant adverse effects on flavour and overall acceptance of bacon (not significant in LD although numerically the same trend was noted), but these effects on sensory ratings were limited in extent. Also shelf life of the products, determined as TBA value after different storage periods at $4^{\circ}C$ in LD, backfat and bacon, was significantly reduced. Overall, the present study suggests that omega-3 fatty acids may be enriched in pork by feeding tuna oil with few undesired side-effects, particularly those on sensory perception and shelf life, suggesting immediate consumption of the products is advisable. Most economically important traits (performance, slaughter and physical meat quality) remained unaffected.

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of Leucaena leucocephala (leucaena) and Gliricidia sepium (gliricidia) supplementation on intake, digestion, outflow rates, microbial protein yield and live-weight changes in sheep fed with ammoniated rice straw (ARS). In experiment 1, three rumen cannulated Japanese Corriedale wether (mean body weight of 35.6 kg) in $3{\times}3$ Latin Square Design were used. Animals were fed ad libitum ARS alone, or supplemented with 200 g of either leucaena or gliricidia. In experiment 2, twenty-four growing native Philippine sheep with average body weight of $13.5{\pm}0.25kg$ were used in a completely randomized design (CRD) and offered similar diets to those of experiment 1. Supplementation increased total dry matter intake and nutrient digestibility except for fiber (p<0.05) without affecting ARS consumption. Nitrogen balance revealed that absorbed and retained N was significantly higher in leucaena and gliricidia. The significant improvement in N utilization and more digestible OM intake brought about by the inclusion of leucaena and gliricidia to ARS resulted in increased (p<0.05) microbial N yield. Efficiency of microbial N supply in supplemented group was not significantly different, but higher (p<0.05) than the 24.92 g N/kg DOMR for ARS group. Liquid outflow rate was 7.8 and 6.8 %/h, while the solid phase of rumen digesta was 4.4 and 3.8 %/h for the leucaena and gliricidia group respectively, which were significantly higher than 5.30 and 2.50 %/h in the control diet. The increase in total DMI resulted to higher (p<0.01) growth performance and efficient feed utilization. Average daily gain (ADG) was 19.3, 34.6 and 33.9 g/d for the ARS, leucaena and gliricidia respectively. It is therefore concluded that addition of leucaena and gliricidia to ARS in could increase nutrient intake and digestibility, subsequently improving N utilization and livestock performance.

The present study was conducted with twenty-four Korean native (Hanwoo) steers to observe the effect of mixed oil and monensin supplementation and duration of feeding on c9,t11-CLA content in plasma and fat tissues. The steers were randomly assigned to three groups of eight animals each according to body weight. Hanwoo steers in the control group were fed the commercial concentrate for the late fattening stage. The other groups of steers were fed the same diet as control steers, but the concentrate was supplemented with high-$C_{18:2}$ oil mixture (soybean oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil) and fish oil at 6% level of concentrate (DM basis), and monensin (20 ppm). The second and third group of steers was fed the oil mixture supplemented diet with monensin for the last 10 weeks and 20 weeks, respectively, prior to being slaughtered. The oil mixture consisted of 45% soybean oil, 20% sunflower oil, 20% safflower oil and 15% fish oil. Average daily gain (p<0.049) and feed efficiency (p<0.018) of the steers fed the diet supplemented with oil mixture and monensin (OM-M) for 20 weeks were higher than those of the other groups of steers. Dressing percent, fat thickness and longissimus muscle area were not affected by the OM-M supplementation and duration of its feeding. The OM-M supplementation increased the content of total-cholesterol (p<0.0001-0.0007) and HDL-cholesterol (p<0.0001) in the plasma of steers compared to the control diet. The steers fed the OM-M diet had a higher proportion of c9,t11-CLA in plasma (p<0.048-0.044) than the control steers. Feeding the OM-M diet for 20 weeks increased the proportion of CLA in intramuscular (p<0.015), intermuscular (p<0.039) and subcutaneous (p<0.001) fat tissues compared with both steers fed the control diet and the OM-M diet for 10 weeks. Increased (p<0.007) proportion of total unsaturated fatty acids in steers fed the OM-M diet for 20 weeks compared to those in control steers was related to the increased (p<0.001) $C_{18:2}$ and decreased (p<0.001) $C_{18:0}$ proportions in subcutaneous tissue.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritive values of supplemental L-lysine, liquid and powder type, and DL-methionine in weanling pigs. For feeding trial, 165 weanling pigs were treated in 2 controls; 18 and 16% CP, 6 supplementations of lysine alone to 16% CP diets; 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4% of liquid and powder type each, and 3 supplementations of lysine + methionine to 15% CP diets; 0.05 + 0.025, 0.1 + 0.05 and 0.2 + 0.1%. Pigs were fed for 5 week to investigate the protein sparing effect of supplemental amino acid, and the optimal supplemental level. A metabolic trial included the measurements of digestibilities of dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, energy, phosphorus and amino acids. The liver acinar cell culture was conducted for the protein synthesis activity of the pigs fed each experimental diet. Supplementation of both type of L-lysine in 16% CP diet showed improved daily weight gain and feed efficiency which were compatible with those of pigs fed 18% CP diet. Groups fed liquid lysine did not differ from those fed powder type in growth performance. Supplementation of lysine and methionine to 15% CP diet did not improve growth performance of pigs to the extent that 18% CP diet was fed. In nutrient digestibility, 16% CP control diet showed significantly (p < 0.05) lower crude protein digestibility than any other treatments. Digestibilities of 16% CP diets with lysine supplementation were equal to that of 18% CP control, while digestibilities of 15% CP diets with the supplementation of lysine + methionine was inferior to that of 18% CP control. Supplementation of lysine alone reduced the nitrogen excretion compared to the none supplemented control groups. However, addition of lysine + methionine excreted more nitrogen than controls. Pigs fed diet supplemented with lysine alone, or lysine + methionine excreted less fecal phosphorus than those fed none supplemetation. Retained protein from liver tissue of pigs fed 18% diet was significantly (p < 0.05) greater than those fed 16% CP diet. A significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed in physical type of lysine. Feeding of powder type showed less secreted protein and greater retained protein in the culture of liver acinar cell. It is concluded that supplementation of lysine at the level of 0.1 to 0.2% can spare 2% of dietary protein and reduce nitrogen excretion by 19.3%. Also, no difference in nutritional values was observed between liquid and powder lysine in weanling pigs.

최근 온난화 현상에 따른 범세계적 위기가 초래됨에 따라 선진국을 중심으로 교토의정서가 체결되었으며, 이를 계기로 온실가스 규제가 본격화되기 시작하였다. 또한 교토의정서의 교토유연성체계라는 시장메커니즘이 도입되어 온실가스 배출에 대한 소유권이 설정되고, 수급에 따라 배출권 가격이 형성되는 등 새로운 무형의 자원을 거래하는 탄소시장이 등장하게 되었다. 학계에서는 탄소배출효과를 측정하는 방법론과 이를 탄소배출권의 경제적 비용으로 전환하고자 하는 연구들이 태동하기 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 전자정부 정보화사업 중 하나인 G2B 시스템을 통해 전통적인 조달업무 프로세스가 온라인화 됨에 따라 저감되는 탄소 배출저감효과 즉, e-transformation화에 따른 탄소저감효과를 측정하는 ECRE(Evaluation of $CO_2$ Reduction in E-transformation)모델과 절차를 제시하고자 한다. ECRE 모델은 세계 기후협의체(IPCC)의 방법론을 근간으로 하여 크게 '이동 수단에 따른 탄소저감효과', '종이 문서 절감에 따른 탄소저감효과' 2가지의 탄소배출량을 측정하고 이를 탄소배출권의 경제적 비용으로 환산한다. 또한 본 연구에서는 탄소저감효과를 효과적으로 측정하기 위하여 5단계와 10개의 세부절차로 구성된 절차를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 ECRE 모델과 절차를 이용하여 정부기관은 물론 온실가스 규제를 받게 되는 에너지 환경기업 등에서 정보화사업을 통한 탄소감축 실적의 추정 및 추가적인 정보화사업 추진으로 기대되는 탄소저감효과를 사전에 시뮬레이션해 볼 수 있는 도구로서 활용이 기대된다.

The thallium-doped sodium iodide [NaI(Tl)] scintillation detector is preferred as a gamma spectrometer in many fields because of its general advantages. A silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) has recently been developed and its application area has been expanded as an alternative to photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). It has merits such as a low operating voltage, compact size, cheap production cost, and magnetic resonance compatibility. In this study, an array of SiPMs is used to develop an NaI(Tl) gamma spectrometer. To maintain detection efficiency, a commercial NaI(Tl) $2^{\prime}{\times}2^{\prime}$ scintillator is used, and a light guide is used for the transport and collection of generated photons from the scintillator to the SiPMs without loss. The test light guides were fabricated with polymethyl methacrylate and reflective materials. The gamma spectrometer systems were set up and included light guides. Through a series of measurements, the characteristics of the light guides and the proposed gamma spectrometer were evaluated. Simulation of the light collection was accomplished using the DETECT 97 code (A. Levin, E. Hoskinson, and C. Moison, University of Michigan, USA) to analyze the measurement results. The system, which included SiPMs and the light guide, achieved 14.11% full width at half maximum energy resolution at 662 keV.

Energy security is a topic of high importance to many countries throughout the world. Countries with access to vast energy supplies enjoy all of the economic and political benefits that come with controlling a highly sought after commodity. Given the desire to diversify away from fossil fuels due to rising environmental and economic concerns, there are limited technology options available for baseload electricity generation. Further complicating this issue is the desire for energy sources to be sustainable and globally scalable in addition to being economic and environmentally benign. Nuclear energy in its current form meets many but not all of these attributes. In order to address these limitations, TerraPower, LLC has developed the Traveling Wave Reactor (TWR) which is a near-term deployable and truly sustainable energy solution that is globally scalable for the indefinite future. The fast neutron spectrum allows up to a ~30-fold gain in fuel utilization efficiency when compared to conventional light water reactors utilizing enriched fuel. When compared to other fast reactors, TWRs represent the lowest cost alternative to enjoy the energy security benefits of an advanced nuclear fuel cycle without the associated proliferation concerns of chemical reprocessing. On a country level, this represents a significant savings in the energy generation infrastructure for several reasons 1) no reprocessing plants need to be built, 2) a reduced number of enrichment plants need to be built, 3) reduced waste production results in a lower repository capacity requirement and reduced waste transportation costs and 4) less uranium ore needs to be mined or purchased since natural or depleted uranium can be used directly as fuel. With advanced technological development and added cost, TWRs are also capable of reusing both their own used fuel and used fuel from LWRs, thereby eliminating the need for enrichment in the longer term and reducing the overall societal waste burden. This paper describes the origins and current status of the TWR development program at TerraPower, LLC. Some of the areas covered include the key TWR design challenges and brief descriptions of TWR-Prototype (TWR-P) reactor. Selected information on the TWR-P core designs are also provided in the areas of neutronic, thermal hydraulic and fuel performance. The TWR-P plant design is also described in such areas as; system design descriptions, mechanical design, and safety performance.

연료전지는 전기를 발전하면서 동시에 열도 생산하며, 본 고는 이 두 가지를 함께 이용하는 가정용의 마이크로 연료전지-열병합발전(${\mu}FC$-CHP) 시스템에 관한 조사보고서이다. 열병합발전 시스템을 구성하는 몇 가지 방안 중에서 연료전지는 전기와 열 효율을 합쳐 90%가 넘는 가장 높은 에너지 효율을 갖는 시스템을 구현할 수 있어 유용성이 높다. 연료전지에는 크게 다섯 가지 종류가 있으며, 이 중 가정용 ${\mu}FC$-CHP로 적합한 것은 프로톤교환 막연료전지(PEMFC)와 고체산화물연료전지(SOFC)이다. ${\mu}FC$-CHP시스템은 독립전원으로서 송배전 손실을 줄일 수 있고 전기생산단가를 낮출 수 있으며, 오염물질을 배출하지 않는 친환경 기술이란 점 등의 장점이 많다. 단점은 초기 투자비용이 높다는 점인데, 기술의 발달로 제작 단가를 줄여 이를 해결해나가고 있다. 현재는 일본이 시장을 선점하고 있으나 우리나라도 100만대 보급 계획을 가지고 있고, 정부가 반 정도의 설치보조금을 제공하여 시장을 견인하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이와 함께 연료전지와 열병합발전을 연결하는 기술적 내용 및 각국의 동향을 기술한다.
