The present study was conducted to determine the best level of substitution of soybean meal by sunflower cake in diets for kids through the evaluation of quantitative carcass traits. Thirty-two Boer kids X 1/2 NDB (no defined breed), males, non-castrated, with 4 months of age and initial body weight of $15{\pm}3.2$ kg, were randomly assigned to individual pens. The treatments contained four substitution levels of soybean meal by sunflower cake (0, 33, 66 and 100% DM). At the end of the experimental period, the animals were slaughtered. There was no influence of the treatments on any of the mean values of the evaluated measures (p>0.05): 21.78 kg (body weight at slaughter), 8.65 kg (hot carcass weight), 8.59 kg (cold carcass weight), 40.27% (hot carcass yield), 39.20% (cold carcass yield), 7.73 $cm^2$ (rib eye area), 46.74 cm (carcass outer length), 45.68 cm (carcass internal length), 36.92 cm (leg length), 26.04 cm (leg perimeter), 48.66 cm (hind perimeter), 58.62 cm (thoracic perimeter), 0.20 (carcass compactness index), 68.48% (total muscle of the leg), 2.79% (total leg fat), 55.19% (subcutaneous leg fat), 28.82% (total bone), 81.66 g (femur weight), 14.88 cm (femur length), 0.38 (leg muscularity index), 2.53 (muscle:bone ratio) and 33.42 (muscle:fat ratio). The substitution of soybean meal by sunflower cake may be recommended up to a level of 100% without alterations to quantitative carcass traits.

자장중 정렬된(Nd1-xRx)2Fe14B (R=Y, Pr) 다결정 분말을 사용하여 스핀재배열현상과 결정자기이방성을 연구하였다. 이 화합물에서 스핀재배열온도(TSR)는 R=Pr인 경우 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.75 의 조성범위에서 Pr 치환량이 증가함에 따라 $\Delta$TSR=-1.35 K/Pr at.%의 비율로 단순 감소하였으나 R=Y인 경우에는 초기 소량의 감소 후 다시 약간 증가한다. 4.2 K에서 스핀재배열각(SRA)은 Y과 Pr 치환량의 증가에 따라 0$\leq$x$\leq$0.5의 범위에서 $\Delta$SRA=-0.073$^{\circ}$/T at.%와 $\Delta$SRA=-0.258$^{\circ}$/Pr at.% 비율로 감소한다. 4.2 K에서 결정자기이방성상수의 조사결과 R=Y인 경우 x=0.9 이상에서 R=Pr인 경우에는 x=0.8 이상에서 스핀재배열현상이 사라질 것으로 예측되었다.

Self-compacting concretes (SCC) are highly fluid concrete which can flow without any vibration. Their composition requires a large quantity of fines to limit the risk of bleeding and segregation. The use of crushed sand rich in limestone fines could be an adequate solution for both economic and environmental reasons. This paper investigates the influence of quarry limestone fines from manufactured crushed sand on rheological, mechanical and durability properties of SCC. For this purpose, five mixtures of SCC with different limestone fines content as substitution of crushed sand (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) were prepared at constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.40 and $490kg/m^3$ of cement content. Fresh SCC mixtures were tested by slump flow test, V-funnel flow time test, L-box height ratio, segregation resistance and rheological test using a rheometer. Compressive and flexural strengths of SCC mixtures were evaluated at 28 days. Regarding durability properties, total porosity, capillary water absorption and chloride-ion migration were studied at 180 days. For the two test modes in fresh state, the results indicated compatibility between slump flow/yield stress (${\tau}_0$) and V-funnel flow time/plastic viscosity (${\mu}$). Increasing the substitution level of limestone fines in SCC mixtures, contributes to the decrease of the slump flow and the yield stress. All SCC mixtures investigated achieved adequate filling, adequate passing ability and exhibit no segregation. Moreover, the inclusion of limestone fines as crushed sand substitution reduces the capillary water absorption, chloride-ion migration and consequently enhances the durability performance.

This study aimed to develop a Rule Based Mamdani Type Fuzzy Logic (RBMFL) model to predict the flexural strengths and compressive strengths of blended cements under elevated temperatures. Clinoptilolite was used as cement substitution material in the experimental stage. Substitution ratios in the cement mortar mix designs were selected as 0% (reference), 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The data used in the modeling process were obtained experimentally, after mortar specimens having reached the age of 90 days and exposed to $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ temperatures for 3 hours. In the RBMFL model, temperature ($C^{\circ}$) and substitution ratio of clinoptilolite (%) were inputs while the compressive strengths and flexural strengths of mortars were outputs. Results were compared by using some statistical methods. Statistical comparison results showed that rule based Mamdani type fuzzy logic can be an alternative approach for the evaluation of the mechanical properties of concrete under elevated temperature.

This paper proposes a novel spectral hole substitution technique for low bit-rate audio coding. The spectral holes frequently occurring in relatively weak energy bands due to zero bit quantization result in severe quality degradation, especially for harmonic signals such as speech vowels. The enhanced aacPlus (EAAC) audio codec artificially adjusts the minimum signal-to-mask ratio (SMR) to reduce the number of spectral holes, but it still produces noisy sound. The proposed method selectively predicts the spectral shapes of hole bands using either intra-band correlation, i.e. harmonically related coefficients nearby or inter-band correlation, i.e. previous frames. For the bands that have low prediction gain, only the energy term is quantized and spectral shapes are replaced by pseudo random values in the decoding stage. To minimize perceptual distortion caused by spectral mismatching, the criterion of the just noticeable level difference (JNLD) and spectral similarity between original and predicted shapes are adopted for quantizing the energy term. Simulation results show that the proposed method implemented into the EAAC baseline coder significantly improves speech quality at low bit-rates while keeping equivalent quality for mixed and music contents.

This study examined the crystallographic and magnetic properties of vanadium-substituted lithium cobalt titanium ferrite, $Li_{0.7}Co_{0.2}Ti_{0.2}V_{0.2}Fe_{1.7}O_4$. Ferrite was synthesized using a conventional ceramic method. The samples annealed below $1040^{\circ}C$ showed X-ray diffraction peaks for spinel and other phases. However, the sample annealed above $1040^{\circ}C$ showed a single spinel phase. The lattice constant of the sample was $8.351\;{\AA}$, which was relatively unaffected by vanadium-substitution. The average grain size after vanadium-substitution was $13.90\;{\mu}m$, as determined by scanning electron microscopy. The M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum could be fitted to two Zeeman sextets, which is the typical spinel ferrite spectra of $Fe^{3+}$ with A and B sites, and one doublet. From the absorption area ratio of the M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectrum, the cation distribution was found to be ($Co_{0.2}V_{0.2}Fe_{0.6})[Li_{0.7}Ti_{0.2}Fe_{1.1}]O_4$. Vibrating sample magnetometry revealed a saturation magnetization and coercivity of 36.9 emu/g and 88.6 Oe, respectively, which were decreased by vanadium-substitution.

Purpose: In this study, we evaluated the physicochemical and sensory effects of glutinous rice flour substitution in Yakgwa. Methods: The glutinous rice flour was added to Yakgwa dough as ratio to ranging from 0, 20, 40, 60%. Dehydration, oil absorption, color, texture and preference properties of Yakgwa were then investigated. Results: Glutinous rice flour caused a decrease in dehydration and oil absorption during frying. For color determination, L-value increased while b-value decreased as the addition of glutinous rice flour increased. In the instrumental texture analysis, hardness and chewiness increased with increasing glutinous rice flour content. Yakgwa with 20 or 40% glutinous rice flour showed a significantly higher overall acceptability than others. Conclusion: It can be concluded that 20 or 40% glutinous rice flour substitution is appropriate for preparing Yakgwa, based on the sensory evaluation results.

To understand the effects of Cd substitution for Cu, $(Pb_{0.5}Cu_{0.5-x}Cd_x)Sr_2(Ca_{0.7}Y_{0.3})Cu_2O_z$ (x = 0 ~ 0.5) compounds were synthesized and the structural and superconducting properties of the compounds were characterized. Resistivity data revealed that superconducting transition temperature rises initially up to x = 0.25 and then decreases as the Cd doping content increases. Room-temperature thermoelectric power decreases at first up to x = 0.25 and then increases with higher Cd doping content, indicating that the change in $T_c$ is mainly caused by the change in the hole concentration on the superconducting planes by the Cd doping. The non-monotonic dependence of the lattice parameters and the transition temperature with Cd doping content is discussed in connection with the possible formation of $Pb^{+2}$ ions and the removal of excess oxygen caused by Cd substitution in the charge reservoir layer. A correlation between transition temperature and c/a lattice parameter ratio was observed for the $(Pb_{0.5}Cu_{0.5-x}Cd_x)Sr_2(Ca_{0.7}Y_{0.3})Cu_2O_z$ system.

Due to economic and environmental benefits, increasing the substitution ratio of ordinary cement by industry by-products like fly ash (FA) is one of the best approaches to reduce the impact of the concrete industry on the environment. However, as the substitution rate of FA increases, it will have an adverse impact on the performance of cement-based materials, so the actual substitution rate of FA is limited to around 10-30%. Therefore, in order to increase the early-age strength of high replacement (30-70%) low-calcium ultrafine FA blended cement paste, sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate dihydrate were used to improve the reactivity of FA. The results show that sodium sulfate has a significant enhancement effect on the strength of the composite pastes in the early and late ages, while calcium sulfate dihydrate has only a slight effect in the late ages. The addition of sodium sulfate in the cement-FA blended system can enhance the gain rate of non-evaporation water, and can decrease the Ca(OH)2 content. In addition, when the sulfate chemical activators are added, the ettringite content increases, and the surface of the FA is dissolved and hydrated.

II형 무수석고의 평균 입경과 치환율이 시멘트페이스트의 유동성에 미치는 영향에 대해 비교하였다. 나프탈렌계(NSF)와 폴리카르본산계(NT-2) 등 2가지 고유동화제의 첨가량을 0~2.0wt%으로 변화시켰을 때 3종으로 구분한 II형 무수석고의 평균입경(4, 14, $35{\mu}m$)과 치환율(3, 5, 10, 15wt%)의 변화에 따른 영향을 측정하였다. 이들 변수들에 따른 영향을 측정하기 위하여 시멘트페이스트의 초기 유동성 및 경과시간별로 겉보기 점도를 관찰하였다. 시멘페이스트의 초기유동성은 II형 무수석고의 평균입경에 의한 영향보다는 II형 무수석고의 치환율 증가에 의한 영향이 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다. II형 무수석고의 치환율을 10wt%로 고정시 NT-2, 1.0wt% 첨가로 시멘트페이스트의 유동성은 동일 첨가량의 NSF보다 크게 향상되었다. 이는 측정된 변수들의 범위 중에서 가장 우수한 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성을 보여주는 경우이다. NT-2, 1.0wt% 첨가에서 II형 무수석고의 치환율 증가에 따라 시멘트 페이스트의 겉보기 점도가 현저하게 감소되었다. 이로부터 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성 향상을 위해서는 NT-2의 첨가와 더불어 시멘트를 II형 무수석고로 일정비율 치환하는 것이 더욱 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
