The brazing adhesion properties of Ag coated W-Ag electric contact on the Cu substrate have been investigated in therms of microstructure, phase equilibrium and adhesion strength. Precoating of Ag layer ($3{\mu}m$ in thickness) on the $W-40\%Ag$ contact material was done by electro-plating method. Subsequently the brazing treatment was conducted by inserting BCuP-5 filler metal (Ag-Cu-P alloy) layer between Ag coated W-Ag and Cu substrate and annealing at $710^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$ atmosphere. The optimum brazing temperature of $710^{\circ}C$ was semi-empirically calculated on the basis of the Cu atomic diffusion profile in Ag layer of commercial electric contact produced by the same brazing process. As a mechanical test of the electric contact after brazing treatment the adhesion strength between the electric contact and Cu substrate was measured using Instron. The microstructure and phase equilibrium study revealed that the sound interlayer structure was formed by relatively low brazing treatment at $710^{\circ}C$. Thin Ag electro-plated layer precoated on the electric contact ($3{\mu}m$ in thickness) is thought to be enough for high adhesion strength arid sound microstructure in interface layer.

이 연구는 우간다 농촌지도사업의 발전과정을 조망하고 발전방안을 제시하는 것이다. 우간다에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 많은 접근방법이 사용되었지만, 농업생산성이나 수익성 향상에 도움이 되었다는 선행연구 결과는 없는 실정이다. 그 동안 너무 많은 농촌지도사업에 대한 개혁사업이 이루어졌지만, 부분적으로 상향식 접근방법도 있었지만, 대부분의 접근방법은 하향식 접근방법이었다. 많은 사례에서 농촌지도사업에 대한 이러한 개혁은 농업생산이나 수익성에 영향을 줄 정도로 발전될 수 있는 기회가 주어지지 않았다. 향후 성공적인 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발이 이루어지기 위해서는 기술적인 전문가와 자원의 유용성 증가 뿐만 아니라, 농촌지도사업과 농촌개발 프로그램을 기획하고 수행할 때의 농촌지도사업의 제도적인 역할정립에 대한 정부의 의지와 지역주민의 적극적인 참여가 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다. 그리고 우간다에서 공공 농촌지도사업은 수요자에 필요한 적절한 지도사업이 이루어지도록 수요자중심의 농촌지도사업이 이루어지도록 해야 할 것이다.

Background: Climate change is believed to be continuously affecting ticks by influencing their habitat suitability. However, we attempted to model the climate change-induced impacts on future genus Rhipicephalus distribution considering the major environmental factors that would influence the tick. Therefore, 50 tick occuance points were taken to model the potential distribution using maximum entropy (MaxEnt) software and 19 climatic variables, taking into account the ability for future climatic change under representative concentration pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5, were used. Results: MaxEnt model performance was tested and found with the AUC value of 0.99 which indicates excellent goodness-of-fit and predictive accuracy. Current models predict increased temperatures, both in the mid and end terms together with possible changes of other climatic factors like precipitation which may lead to higher tick-borne disease risks associated with expansion of the range of the targeted tick distribution. Distribution maps were constructed for the current, 2050, and 2070 for the two greenhouse gas scenarios and the most dramatic scenario; RCP 8.5 produced the highest increase probable distribution range. Conclusions: The future potential distribution of the genus Rhipicephalus show potential expansion to the new areas due to the future climatic suitability increase. These results indicate that the genus population of the targeted tick could emerge in areas in which they are currently lacking; increased incidence of tick-borne diseases poses further risk which can affect cattle production and productivity, thereby affecting the livelihood of smallholding farmers. Therefore, it is recommended to implement climate change adaptation practices to minimize the impacts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary incorporation of tanninrich woody species on meat oxidative stability, carcass traits and meat quality in goats. Methods: Two tannin-rich species were tested using a three-treatments feeding trial, where treatments consisted of: Larrea divaricata and Acacia aroma both at 12.5% in dry matter basis of the diet and a control diet (alfalfa hay). All feeding diets were iso-protein and iso-energy. Carcass conformation, carcass compactness, carcass fatness and subcutaneous fat deposition were evaluated. Intake, liveweigh, Longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscles of goats were analyzed in order to evaluate quality parameters such as pH value, instrumental color evaluation, water holding capacity, total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, meat oxidative stability and fatty acid profiles in meat. Results: Feed intake, liveweight gain, carcass, and meat traits did not differ among treatments. Changes in meat lipid profile among treatments were observed for oleic and elaidic acid contents. Meat total phenolic content and antioxidant activity did not differ among treatments; although, meat oxidative status after storage at room temperature, as well as under refrigerated and frozen conditions were different between control and both supplemented groups. Conclusion: The inclusion of Acacia aroma and Larrea divaricata leaves in goat diet enhanced meat oxidative stability. Modulation of the ruminal biohydrogenation of fatty acids produced by condensed tannins of these plant species need to be further investigated.

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp] is one of the most important grain legumes that enhance soil fertility and is well-adapted to various abiotic stress. Also, it is cultivated worldwide as a tropical annual crop, and the semi-arid regions are known as the main cowpea-produced regions. However, accumulation of soil salinity induced by low rainfall in these regions is reducing crop yields and quality. In general, plants exposed to soil salinity cause an accumulation of high ion chloride, which leads to the degradation of root and leaf proteins. In this study, we identified candidate genes associated with salinity tolerance through an analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in four cowpea germplasms with contrasting salinity tolerance. A total of 553,776,035 short reads were obtained using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 platform for RNA-Seq, which were subsequently aligned to the reference genome of cowpea Vunguiculata v1.2. A total of9,806 DEGs were identified between NaCl treatment and control of four cowpea germplasms. Among these DEGs, functions related to salt stress such as calcium transporter and cytochrome-450 family were associated with salt stress. In GO analysis and KEGG analysis, these DEGs were enriched in terms such as the "phosphorylation", ''extracellular region", and "ion binding". These RNA-seq results will improve the understanding of the salt tolerance of cowpea and can be used as useful basic data for molecular breeding technology in the future.

이 연구는 경산분지 북부 의성서부지역에 분포하는 백악기 진주층과 일직층의 사암을 대상으로 그 광물조성과 주원소 성분의 특징을 알아보고, 기원지의 조구조적 위치와 고기후를 추론하였다. 하호(河湖)환경에서 퇴적된 진주층과 일직층 사암의 석영, 장석, 암편의 평균 조성비(Q:F:L)는 각각 53:40:7 및 50:46:4이며 모두 알코식 아레나이트에 속한다. 사암의 광물조성에 근거한 기원지의 주된 조구조위치는 전이대륙지괴(transitional continental block)로 해석된다. 전암분석결과, 모든사암의 부원소성분은 Pettijohn (1975)의 알코즈와 그레이와케의 중간값을 보여준다. $Na_2O$ 함량은 비교적 높은 반면, $Fe_2O_3$(total iron) 및 MgO 함량은 비교적 낮다. $SiO_2$ 함량이 증가하면 $Fe_2O_3$, MgO 함량이 감소하는 경향인데, 이는 알코즈사암의 골격입자들의 주공급원으로 생각되는 화강암질암의 비교적 낮은 Fe-Mg 함량 때문인 것으로 해석된다. 일부 $Na_2O$ 함량이 다소 높게 나타나는 것은 사장석의 알바이트화에 의한 영향도 있었을 것으로 사료된다. 쇄설성 골격입자들은 속성작용에 의하여 다소 변질되기는 하였지만, 고기후의 특징들이 아직도 남아있다. 연구지역의 진주층 사암의 퇴적기 고기후는 사암성분에 근거한 Suttner와 Dutta (1986)의 해석기준에 의하면 아건조 내지 아습윤 기후로 해석된다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate and understand the present status of various types of "deserts", such as sand desert, gravel desert, rock desert, earth desert, salt desert, desert, rocky desert, gobi desert, sandy desert, clay desert, etc., and the general countermeasures for the combating "desertification" "desertization", and to develop the technologies on the revegetation and restoration for the combating desertification in China. The methods of this study were mainly composed of field surveys on the several experimental sites and research institutes related to combating desertification in China, and examinations on the various technologies for the combating desertification at the Daxing Experimental Station of Beijing Forestry University. The conclusion from this study may be summarized as follows; 1. Status and tendency of desertification in China : China is one of the countries seriously threatened by desertification. Desertification affected areas in China are mainly distributed in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas in China, covering the most regions of the Northeast China (eastern region of Inner-Mongolia), the northern part of the North China (middle and western region of Inner-Mongolia, Shaanxi, Ningsha, Gansu) and the western part of the Northwest China (Xinzang, Qinghai, Xizang). The total area affected by desertification in China is approximately 2.622 million $km^2$. It covers 27.3% of the total territory of China. Until recently, it is estimated that the annual spreading ratio of desertification in China is 2,460 $km^2$. Therefore, desertification is mostly serious problems facing to the Chinese people. 2. The causes and environmental effect of desertification : The desertification in China is mainly caused by compound factors, including natural condition and human activities. In China, the desertification is started by the decrease of precipitation, continuous dry and drought, strong wind, wind and water erosion, land degradation and loss of natural vegetation caused by climate variation, and accelerated by the human activities, such as over-cultivating, over-grazing, over-cutting of woods, irrational use of water resources. Because desertification has affected the geographical features, soil nutrients contents, salinity, vegetation coverage and the functions of ecosystem, the environmental deteriorations in the desertification affected areas are very seriously. 3. The fundamental strategies of combating desertification in China are the increase of education and awareness of people through various mass media, the revision of laws to guarantee operation of Desertification Combating Law and to improve many relating laws and regulations, the application of advanced technologies and training of experts, the establishment of discriminative policies, and increasing arrangement of budget-investment, and so on. China, as a signed country in UNCCD, has made efforts for the combating desertification. Korea is also signed country in UNCCD, so we should play an important role in the desertification combating projects of China for the northest asia and global environmental conservation as well as environmental conservation of Korea.

본 논문에서는 지하수 수자원의 부존 및 대수층의 역학적 변화를 원격 탐사 방법으로 해석한 연구사례를 고찰하였다. 지질 분포, 지표수 및 지형 고도차, 식생 분포, 강수량과 증발산량의 변화를 측정하는 기법에는 항공 자력 탐사 분석에 의한 지질 선구조 해석, DEM, 엽면적지수, 정규 식생 지수 및 지표면 에너지 밸런스 계산 등이 있으며, 모두 원격 탐사로 수득된 자료에 기반하며, 광역적 차원에서의 지하수 수자원 부존 여부를 정성적으로 분석할 수 있다. 위성 센서 자료의 직접 이용을 통한 지하수 부존 및 동력학의 정량적 해석은 현재까지 GRACE와 InSAR가 가장 각광받는 탐사 방법임을 알 수 있었다. GRACE는 미소 중력장 변화를 지구 표면 및 내부 수체의 질량 변화로 전환할 수 있는 센서 보유 위성으로서, 센서 자료의 보정이 필요 없고, 지하수 부존 정량 분석을 위한 보조 자료를 모두 다른 위성 센서 자료에서 수득할 수 있으며, 자료처리 알고리즘의 지속적인 개선이 진행되고 있어서, 전세계적으로 수많은 연구가 수행되었다. 그러나, 위성센서의 검출 한계로 인해 협소한 지역에서의 지하수 질량 변화 정량이 부정확할 수 있고, 현장 조사 자료와 연동할 경우 과대 추정된 결과가 도출될 수 있다. InSAR는 특정 대수층에서 지표의 수직 변위가 지하수위와 비례한다는 원리를 이용, mm 단위의 지표 수직 변위를 측정하여 대수층 및 대수층 내 지하수의 물리적 특징을 정량화할 수 있다. 그러나, 지표의 토지 피복이 단순한 건조-반건조 기후 지역에 한정되어 적용되고 있으며, 지표면과의 긴밀도 값 손실이 우려되는 지역에서는 적용이 힘들다. 상기 두 위성을 이용하여 우리나라 지하수 수자원의 질량 변화 및 흐름 특징을 광역적으로 정량화하기 위해서는 우리나라의 지형 및 지질, 자연 조건에 알맞은 자료 전처리 알고리즘 개발 및 적용이 선행되어야 할 것이다.

Browse tree legume leaves from Acacia spp (A. nilotica, A. tortilis, A. polyacantha), Dichrostachys sp, Flagea villosa, Piliostigma thonningii, Harrisonia sp were evaluated for nutritive potential (chemical compositions and degradability characteristics) compared to Gliricidia sepium. Effect of tannins anti-nutritive activity on digestibility was also assessed by polyethylene glycol (PEG) tannin bioassay. Crude protein (CP), ash, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) differed (p<0.05) between legume foliages. Mean CP, ash, NDF, ADF and ADL for fodder species tested were 158, 92, 385, 145, and 100 g/kg DM, respectively. CP ranged from 115 (P. thonningii) to 205 g/kg DM (G. sepium). Acacia spp had moderate CP values (g/kg DM) of 144 (A. nilotica), to high CP in A. tortilis (188) and A. polyacantha (194) comparable to G. sepium. The forages had relatively lower fiber compositions. A. nilotica had (p<0.05) lowest NDF, ADF and ADL (182, 68 and 44) compared to P. thonningii (619, 196 and 130) g/kg DM, respectively. Except G. sepium, all fodder species had detectable high phenolic and tannin contents greater than 5% DM, an upper beneficial level in animal feeding and nutrition. Mean total phenolics (TP), total tannins (TT) and condensed tannins (CT) (or proanthocyanidins) for fodder species tested were 139, 113 and 43 mg/g DM, respectively. F. villosa had (p<0.05) lowest TP and TT of 65 and 56 mg/g DM, respectively, compared to A. nilotica (237 and 236 mg/g DM, respectively). The CT varied (p<0.05) from 6 (F. villosa) to 74 mg/g DM (Dichrostachys sp). In vitro organic matter (OM) degradability (OMD) differed (p<0.05) between fodder species. G. sepium had (p<0.05) high degradability potential compared to A. polyacantha that had (p<0.05) the lowest OMD values. Forage degradability ranked: G. sepium>A. nilotica>P. thonningi>F. villosa>Dichrostachys sp>A. tortilis>A. polyacantha. Addition of PEG resulted to (p<0.05) improvement in in vitro OM digestibility (IVD). Increase in IVD was mainly due to binding action of PEG on tannins; and represents potential nutritive values previously depressed by tannins anti-nutritive activity. Browse fodder has potential as sources of ruminal nitrogen especially for ruminants consuming low quality roughages due to high protein, lower fiber compositions and high potential digestibility. However, utilization of browse supplements in ruminants is hampered by high phenolic and tannin contents. Deactivation of tannin anti-nutritive activity, possibly by feeding tanniniferous browse with other readily available nitrogen sources to dilute tannin anti-nutritive activity could improve utilization of browse fodder supplements. Further studies are needed to assess browse fodder palatability and intake, and their effect on growth performance in ruminants.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of flushing of ewes with concentrate pellets just before the mating season on their nutrient utilization and reproductive performance on farms. Forty-eight Malpura ewes, 1-5 years old were randomly divided into 2 groups of 24 each (G1and G2). Ewes in both the groups were grazed on natural rangeland from 07.00 to 18.00 hr followed by night shelter in animal shed. G1 ewes were maintained on sole grazing while G2 ewes, in addition to grazing, received concentrate pellets at the rate of 1.5% of their body weight. The mean biomass yield of the community rangeland was 0.46 ton DM/hectare. The intakes of DM (g/kg $W^{0.75}$), DCP (g/kg $W^{0.75}$) and ME (MJ/kg $W^{0.75}$) were higher (p<0.01) in G2 as compared to that of G1 being 86.5, 10.2 and 1.15 and 57.5, 4.7 and 0.75, respectively. The digestibility of DM, OM, CP, NDF and hemicellulose were also higher (p<0.01) in G2 as compared to that of G1 being 57.2, 76.7, 78.9, 51.9 and 81.6 and 50.8, 68.7, 68.4, 45.4 and 74.4, respectively. The conception rate was higher (79.2%) in flushed ewes as compared to that of non-flushed (66.7%). Five of the pregnant ewes died and another 5 aborted in G1 while in G2, 5 ewes aborted with no mortality. The lambing was higher (73.7%) in G2 than that in G1 (37.5%). The birth weight of lambs was higher (p<0.05) in G2 (3.47 kg) than that in G1 (2.95 kg). Further, the birth weight of male lambs was higher (3.28) than that of female lambs (3.14). It is concluded that the biomass yield of the community rangeland in semi-arid region of India is low and insufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of ewes prior to mating season. However, concentrate supplementation at the rate of 1.5% of body weight to ewes during this critical stage enhanced their plane of nutrition, reproductive performance, body condition and birth weights of lambs.
