The objective of this study was to estimate the environmental factors affecting milk ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA) and acetone (Ac) concentrations in Holstein cattle. A total of 264,221 test-day records collected from the Korea Animal Improvement Association (KAIA) during the period of 2012 to 2014 were used in this study. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to determine the factors significantly affecting ketone body concentrations. Parameters considered in the model were season of test, season of calving, parity, lactation stage, and milk collecting time (AM and PM). According to the ANOVA, the $R^2$ for milk BHBA and Ac were 0.5226 and 0.4961, respectively. 'Season of test' showed a considerable influence on ketone body concentration. Least square (LS) means for milk BHBA concentrations was the lowest ($39.04{\mu}M$) in winter while it increased up to $62.91{\mu}M$ in summer. But Ac concentration did not significantly change along with 'season of test'. The means of milk BHBA and Ac concentrations were high at first lactation stage, low around second lactation stage, and then gradually increased. Cows milked in the morning had lower mean BHBA and Ac concentrations ($48.49{\mu}M$ and $121.69{\mu}M$, respectively) in comparison to those milked in the evening ($53.46{\mu}M$ and $130.42{\mu}M$, respectively). The LS means of BHBA and Ac slightly increased over parities. These results suggest that proper maintenance of milk collection, herd management programs, and evaluation of ketone body levels in milk should be considered for the efficient management of resistance to ketosis.

This study aimed to identify milling characteristics depending on the rotating speed of the main shaft of the cutting-type rice milling machine which can minimize the conventional milling process. Brown rice, which was produced in Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea, in 2016, was used as the experimental material. The milling characteristics of white rice were measured under four different rotating speeds of main shaft: 950 - 1,050 rpm, 1,000 - 1,100 rpm, 1,050 - 1,150 rpm, and 1,100 - 1,160 rpm. For each shaft speed, 300 kg of brown rice was processed, and the milling characteristics were measured according to the whiteness, grain temperature, cracked rice ratio, broken rice ratio, turbidity, and energy consumption. The whiteness of rice grain was found to be consistent at around $40{\pm}0.5$ only when milled at the shaft speed of 950 - 1,050 or 1,000 - 1,100 rpm. The grain temperature during the milling process increased by 11.35 to $11.85^{\circ}C$, showing little differences amongst shaft speeds. The cracked rice ratio increased by 8.2 to 10.4% at all conditions. The broken rice ratio ranged from 0.58 to 0.76%, reflecting a low level. The turbidity after milling was 54.8 ppm when milled at 1,000 - 1,100 rpm. Energy consumption of 12.98 and 12.18 kWh/ton were recorded at the shaft speed of 1,000 - 1,100 and 1,050 - 1,150 rpm, respectively. The result of this study indicates that the optimal rotating speed of main shaft would be 1,000 - 1,100 rpm for a cutting-type rice milling machine.

Previously we have reported that administration of Korean red ginseng water extract (KRG-WE) plays both preventive and therapeutic roles in testicular toxicity of guinea pigs exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Further study was carried out to verify the beneficial role of Korean red ginseng in TCDD-induced testicular toxicity with different animal species by different route of administration. Korean red ginseng crude saponin (KRG-CS) was prepared by Diaion HP-20 adsorption chromatography. One hundred twenty rats (Sprauge Dawley, 200${\pm}$10 g) were divided into 6 groups. The normal control group (NC) received vehicle (i.p.) and saline (p.o.). Predetermined dosage of TCDD (40 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg b.w., i.p.) was administered to single TCDD-treated (TT) and test (CS) groups. KRG-CS was admin-istered (p.o.) at daily doses of 5 (CS5), 10 (CS10),20 (CS2O) and/or 40 mg/kg b.w. (CS40) for 5 weeks, starting 1 week before the TCDD-exposure. Body weight gain, organ weights, and sperm quality were investigated. Decrease in body weight gain induced by TCDD was greatly attenuated by KRG-CS in a dose-dependent manner. Testicular weight, sperm head counts and ratio of sperm with progressive movement in TT group decreased significantly but those parameters were improved by the treatment of KRG-CS in a dose-dependent manner. This result led us to conclude that crude saponin might be the active ingredient of Korean red ginseng that attenuates the testicular toxicity induced by TCDD.

석탄화력 발전소에서 발생하는 수백만 톤의 석탄회는 콘크리트 혼화재 및 건축자재로 재활용이 가능함에도 불구하고 과다한 미연탄소 함량으로 인해 대부분 회사장(Ash Pond) 되는데, 이로 인해 환경오염유발, 회사장 포화에 따른 발전소의 수명 감소, 그리고 재활용 가능한 자원의 낭비와 같은 문제가 발생한다. 본 연구는 석탄회 내의 미연탄소분을 분리하여 미연탄소분 함량이 낮은 고순도 석탄회를 회수하기 위해 직류관 믹서(In-Line Mixer) 발생기키는 역류형 컬럼부선기를 이용하였다. 이때 입자 표면에 소수성의 특성을 강화시키는 포스제의 증가에 따른 석탄회와 미연탄소 입자의 분리 특성을 분석하였다. 석탕회 톤당 8ι의 포수제를 사용한 역류형 컬럼 부선기를 이용하여 미연탄소분 함유량이 7%인 석탄회를 분리 실험한 결과 미연탄소분 함유량 0.5%인 고순도 석탄회를 88.2% 회수하였다. 그리고 질량 평균입경이 21.2$mu extrm{m}$인 석탄회를 분리 실험하여 입도를 분석한 결과 분리 정도에 따라 입도는 뚜렷하게 구별되어 나타났는데, 분리효율이 증가할수록 정제 석탄회의 경우 입도는 조대해져 입도 분포의 양극화 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 포수제의 투입량이 증대함에 따라 미연탄소 입자의 계면에 소수성이 강화되어 분리 특성이 향상되었으며, 이때 회수한 고순도 석탄회의 입도는 미세화 되는 경향이 나타났다.

동 매트 중에 함유된 불순물 중 단순한 산화정련으로는 제거하기 어려워 제련 후 조동에 함유되어 동의 순도와 기계적 성질을 저하시키는 Ni와 Sb를 매트제련 동안에 제거하기 위한 기초 자료를 제시하고자 공기 송풍에 의한 합성 동 매트의 용련 반응을 통하여 반응 생성물인 매트와 슬래그 그리고 조동에 함유된 Ni와 Sb의 거동 및 상호 연관성을 조사하였다. 공기 송풍에 따른 합성 매트의 용련동안 생성된 반응 생성물에 대한 Ni와 Sb의 분배비로부터 Sb가 Ni과 공존 시 Ni의 슬래그화를 촉진하는 역할을 하며, 또한 Ni은 Sb와 공존시 조동 중으로의 Sb 이동을 저해하고 슬래그화를 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 Ni와 Sb의 슬래그화를 유도하기 위해서는 Ni와 Sb의 공존이 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of Quenching and Partitioning (Q&P) and Annealed Martensite (AM) heat treatment on the microstructure and tensile properties were investigated for 0.24C-0.5Si-1.5Mn-1Al steels. The Q&P steels were annealed at a single phase ($\gamma$) or a dual phase (${\gamma}+{\alpha}$), followed by quenching to a temperature between $M_s$ and $M_f$. Then, enriching carbon was conducted to stabilize the austenite through the partitioning, followed by water quenching. The AM steels were intercritically annealed at a dual phase (${\gamma}+{\alpha}$) temperature and austempered at $M_s$ and $M_s{\pm}50^{\circ}C$, followed by cooling in oil quenching. The dual phase Q&P steels showed lower tensile strength and yieldyield strength than those of the single phase Q&P steels, and tThe elongation for the dual phase Q&P steel was partitioning 100s higher than that of that for the single phase Q&P steels as the partitioning time was less than 100s up to partitioning 100s. For AM steels, the tensile/yield strength decreased and the total elongation increased as the austempering temperature increased. The stability of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for Q&P steels and the volume fraction of the retained austenite controlled the elongation for AM steels.

Electrodeposition of thermoelectric materials, including binary and ternary compounds, have been attracting attentions, because its many advantages including cost-effectiveness, rapid deposition rate, and ease of control their microstructure and crystallinity by adjusting electrodeposition parameters. In this work, $Bi_xTe_y$ films were potentiostatically electrodeposited using Au/Ni(80/20 nm)/Si substrate as the working electrode in solutions consisting of 10mM $TeO_2$ and 1M $HNO_3$ where $Bi(NO_3)_3$ was varied from 2.5 to 10 mM. Prior to electrodeposition potentiostatically, linear sweep voltammograms (LSV) were acquired with a standard three-electrode cell. The $Bi_xTe_y$ films deposited using the electrolyte containing low Bi ions shows p-type conductivity, which might be attributed by the large incorporation of Te phases. Near stoichiometric $Bi_2Te_3$ thin films were obtained from electrolytes containing 5mM $Bi(NO_3)_3$. This film shows the maximum Seebeck coefficient of $-100.3{\pm}12.7{\mu}V/K$. As the increase of Bi ions in electrolytes decreases the Seebeck coefficient and resistivity. The maximum power factor of $336.2{\mu}W/m{\cdot}K^2$ was obtained from the film deposited using the solution of 7.5mM $Bi(NO_3)_3$.

The conformational study on malonic acid, hydrogen malonate, malonate, malonyl methyl sulfide, and malonyl methyl sulfide anion, as the model compounds of malonyl-CoA, was carried out using the semiempirical MO methods (MNDO, AM1, and PM3) and hydration shell model. On the whole, the feasible conformations of malonic acid, hydrogen malonate, and malonate seem to be similar to each other. In malonic acid and malonate, two carboxyl groups are nearly perpendicular to the plane of the carbon skeleton, despite of different orientation of two carboxyl groups themselves. In particular, two carboxyl groups of hydrogen malonate are on the plane formed by carbon atoms with an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The calculated results on the geometry and conformation of three compounds are reasonably consistent with those of X-ray and spectroscopic experiments as well as the previous calculations. The orientation of two carbonyl groups of malonyl methyl sulfide is quite similar to that of malonic acid, but different from that of its anion. Especially, the computed probable conformations of the sulfide anion by the three methods are different from each other. The role of hydration seems not to be crucial in stabilizing the overall conformations of malonic acid, hydrogen malonate, malonate, and malonyl methyl sulfide. However, the probable conformations of the unhydrated sulfide anion obtained by the MNDO and AM1 methods become less stabilized by including hydration. The AM1 method seems to be appropriate for conformational study of malonyl-CoA and its model compounds because it does not result in the formation of too strong hydrogen bonds and significant change in conformational energy from one compound to another.

The structure of $CS_{7.3}Ag_{4.7}Si_{12}Al_{12}O_{48}$, vacuum dehydrated zeolite A with all Na+ ions replaced by $Cs^+$ and $Ag^+$ as indicated, has been determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group, Pm3m (a = 12.282 (1) ${\AA}$). The structure was refined to the final error indices $R_1$$R_2$ (weighted) = 0.099 using 347 independent reflections for whind intlch $I_0\;>\;3{\sigma}(I_0)$. Although deydration occurred at $360^{\circ}C$, no silver atoms or clusters have been observed. The 8-ring sites are occupied only by $Cs^+$ ion, and the 4-ring sites only by a single $Ag^+$ ion. The 6-ring sites contain $Ag^+$ and $Cs^+$ ions with $Ag^+$ nearly in 6-ring planes and $Cs^+$ well off them, one on the sodalite unit side. With regard to the 6-rings, the structure can be represented as a superposition of two types of unit cells: about 70 % have $4Ag^+$ and $4Cs^+$ ions, and the remaining 30 % have $3Ag^+$ and $5Cs^+$. In all unit cells, $3Cs^+$ ions lie at the centers of the 8-rings at sites of D4h symmetry; these ions are approximately 0.3 ${\AA}$ further from their nearest framework-oxygen neighbors than the sum of the appropriate ionic radii would indicate. To minimize electrostatic repulsions, the $Cs^+$ ions at Cs(1) are not likely to occupy adjacent 6-rings in the large cavity; they are likely to be tetrahedrally arranged when there are 4.
