This study conducted sedimentological and geophysical surveys for 3 years (2006-2008) in southern Gyeonggi Bay, Korea to elucidate temporal changes in subaqueous dune morphology on a sand ridge trending northeast to southwest that has been excavated by marine sand mining. The sand ridge (~20 m in height, ~2 km in width and 3~4 km in length) has a steep slope on the NW side and a gentle slope on the SE side, creating an asymmetric profile. Large (10~100 m in length) and very large (>100 m in length) dunes occurring on the SE side of the ridge show a northeastward asymmetrical shape, whereas dunes on the NW side destroyed by marine sand mining display a southwestward asymmetry. The comparison between Flemming (1988)'s correlation and the height-length correlation of this study indicates that tidal current and availability of sand sediment are major controlling factors to the development and maintenance of dunes. Depth and sedimentary characteristics (grain size) are not likely to be major controlling factors, but indirectly influence dune growth by hydrological and sedimentary processes. The length and the height of dunes decrease toward the southeastern trough away from the crest of the ridge. These features result from the decrease of tidal current and sediment availability. The length and the height of dunes on the southeast side decrease gradually over time. This is a result of the interaction between tidal current and the decrease in sediment availability due to sediment extraction by marine sand mining. Marine sand mining has destroyed the dunes directly, causing irregular shapes of shorter length and lower height. The coarse fraction of suspended sediments is transported and deposited very close to the sand pit. By contrast, relatively fine sediments are transported by the tidal current and deposited over a wide range by the settling-lag effect, resulting in a decrease of sediment grain size in the area where suspended sediments are deposited. In addition, marine sand mining, decreases the height of dunes. Therefore, morphological and sedimentological characteristics of dunes around the sand pits will be significantly changed by future sand mining activities.

Effects of high and low levels of feeding with or without protected protein on the performance of lactating goats were studied. Twenty four German Fawn goats either from 1st ($43.37{\pm}3.937$ kg and 2 year old) or 3rd $62.64{\pm}6.783$ kg and 4-5 year old) parity were used for the trial. Feeding levels were 7.2 (I) and 5.2 (II) MJ ME/litre of milk of 3.5% fat in addition to that of the maintenance allowance. At each feeding level, diet had either unprotected (U) or formaldehyde protected (P) soya-meal. Thus, four diets were IU, IP, IIU and IIP, having six animals in each. The diets were composed of hay and pellet (10:4:1 of beet pulp : barley : soya-meal). Effect of feeding level, protein protection, parity, health status and kid number on intake, milk yield, milk composition, growth rate of goats were recorded across the 21 weeks of study. High feeding level resulted increase (p<0.001) in estimated metabolizable energy (ME) and metabolizable protein (MP) availability. Dietary inclusion of protected soya-meal increased (p<0.001) the estimated MP but not the ME availability. Animals in 1st parity ate more (p<0.001) DM (111 vs. 102 g/kg $W^{0.75}$/d) than those in 3rd parity. Animals with twin kids (110 g/kg $W^{0.75}$/d) had higher (p<0.001) DM intake than those with single kid (102 g/kg $W^{0.75}$/d). Fat (4%) corrected milk (FCM) yield was not effected by high (1,924 g/d) or low (1,927 g/d) feeding level but increased (p<0.001) with protected (2,166 g/d) compared with unprotected (1,703 g/d) soya-meal. FCM yield for four dietary combinations were 1,806, 2,078, 1,600 and 2,254 g/d for diets IU, IP, IIU and IIP, respectively. For unit increase (g) in estimated MP availability relative to ME (MJ) intake, FCM yield increased ($1,418{\pm}275.6$) g daily ($r^2$=0.58; p<0.001). Milk fat (3.14 vs. 3.54%; p<0.001) and protein (2.94 vs. 3.04% p<0.05) contents were lower at high than the low feeding level. Protected protein increased (p<0.001) the fat, lactose and net energy (NE) content of milk. Milk urea concentration of 175, 183, 192 and 204 mg/l for diets IU, IP, IIU and IIP, respectively indicated lower RDP content of these diets. The RDP contents were 6.97, 6.70, 7.30 and 6.83 g/MJ of ME for diets IU, IP, IIU and IIP, respectively. Live weight change over the experimental period were 41, 6, 17 and 19 g/d. Absence of any positive response of high feeding was probably due to inefficient rumen fermentation resulting from inadequate RDP supply. Protected protein improved production performance apparently by increasing MP:ME ratio in the absorbed nutrient.

다양한 유기질비료 수준에서 Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20의 처리가 고추의 생육촉진에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 유기질비료 권장시비수준의 70, 85, 100, 120% 시용구에서 시비량이 증가함에 따라 고추의 신장, 건물중 및 수량에서 유의성 있는 증가를 확인하였다. M. oryzae CBMB20의 접종 처리에서 고추의 생장이 증가하였으며, 고추의 수량 또한 각 유기질 비료 수준별로 10~35% 증가하였다. 수확기에 조사한 근권토양의 메탄올자화세균의 밀도는 M. oryzae CBMB20 처리구에서 2.51~2.63 log CFU $g^{-1}$ soil 이었으며, 미처리구에서는 1.0 log CFU $g^{-1}$ soil 이하로 나타났다. 따라서 접종한 M. oryzae CBMB20은 고추 작물 근권토양에 효과적으로 군집하였으며, 식물생장촉진 호르몬의 분비 등의 작용을 통한 작물생장촉진효과를 발휘한 것으로 판단된다. M. oryzae CBMB20을 접종하지 않은 경우에는 고추의 최대 생장과 수량이 유기질 비료 권장시비 수준 120%에서 나타났으나, M. oryzae CBMB20을 접종한 경우에는 최대 생장과 수량이 권장시비 수준에서 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 식물생장촉진미생물의 접종을 통하여 비료 사용량의 절감 가능성을 제시하는 것이며, 식물생장 촉진 미생물 제제로서 M. oryzae CBMB20의 활용이 가능하리라 사료된다.

영지버섯의 세포외 다당발효중 동력학적 특성을 기질(포도당, 전분), 기질농도$(1{\sim}7%)$ 및 계대배양(3회)의 함수로서 조사하였다. 영지버섯 균사체 증식은 logistic 모델이 Monod 모델 및 two- thirds power 모델과 비교하여 실험값에 잘 일치하였고, 기질 및 생성물은 Luedeking-Pirt 식에 의하여 잘 설명되었다. 또 다당 생성의 발효 기작은 증식연동형과 비증식 연동형이 함께 존재하는 혼합형이었으나 기질에 상관없이 비증식연동형 기작이 더 중요하였다. Glucose는 농도 증가에 따라 다당생성 및 기질소비의 기작이 증식연동형이 감소하고 비증식연동형이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 starch를 사용하였을 경우는 glucose와는 달리, 기질소비의 증식연동형과 비증식연동형 기작이 모두 증가하여 높은 기질 이용성을 보였다. 아울러 starch배지에서는 glucose배지에서 보다 비증식속도의 증가와 계대배양시의 안정성을 보였다. 따라서 영지버섯의 배양시 starch배지는 비증식연동형에 의한 균체 생육 및 다당생성의 생합성 촉진에 의해 이들 생산성 및 계대배양시의 안정성을 증가시키는 것으로 생각되었다 최대의 균사체 생육 및 다당 생산은 각각 9.463 및 10.410 g/l로, 7% starch을 함유한 배지에서 $30^{\circ}C$로 7일간 진탕배양하였을 때 얻어졌다.

To avoid drought stress under rainfed upland conditions, it is important for rice to efficiently utilize water at shallow soil layers supplied by rainfall, and access to water retained in deer soil layers. The root developmental characteristics of rice, which play important role in the adaptability to drought conditions, vary depending on the variety. Moreover, water availability for plant differs depending on the soil types that have different physical properties such as water holding capacity, permeability, capillary force, penetration resistance, etc. In this study, we evaluated growth and yield responses of rice varieties to various soil water deficit conditions under three different soil types. The experiment was conducted in a plastic greenhouse at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization-Mwea from October 2016 to January 2017. Two upland varieties (NERICA 1 and 4) and one lowland variety (Komboka) were grown in handmade PVC pots (15.2 cm diameter and 85.0 cm height) filled with three different types of soil collected from major rice-growing areas of the country, namely black cotton (BC), red clay (RC), and sandy clay (SC). Three watering methods, 1) supplying water only from the soil surface (W1), 2) supplying water only from the bottom of the pots (W2), and 3) supplying water both from the soil surface and the bottom of pots (W3), were imposed from 40 days after sowing to maturity. Soil water content (SWC) at 20, 40, and 60 cm depths was measured regularly. At the harvesting stage, aboveground and root samples were collected to determine total dry weight (TDW), grain yield, and root length at 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, and 60-80 cm soil layers. Irrespective of the watering methods, the greatest root development was obtained in RC, while that in BC was less than other two soils. In BC, the degree of yield reduction under W1 was less than that in RC and SC, which could be attributed to the higher water holding capacity of BC. In RC, the growth and yield reduction observed in all varieties under W1 was attributed to the severe drought stress. On the other hand, under W2, SWC at the shallow soil depth in RC was maintained because of its higher capillary force compared with BC and SC. As the result, growths and yields in RC were not suppressed under W2. In SC, deep root development was not promoted by W2 irrespective of the varieties, which resulted in significant yield losses. Under W1, the rice growth and yield in SC was decreased although shallow root development was enhanced, and the stomatal conductance was maintained higher than RC. It was suspected that W1 caused nutrients leaching in SC because of its higher permeability. Under rainfed conditions, growth and yield of rice can be strongly affected by soil types because dynamics of soil water conditions change according to soil physical properties.

Sixty crossbred Anglo-Nubian goats (growing females), 18-24 mo of age, with a mean pre-experimental live weight of $20.9{\pm}0.44kg$ were used to investigate voluntary dry matter intake (DMI) and digestibility of supplements of Leucaena leucocephala (LL) leaves to a basal diet of guinea grass. The experiment was a 3 forms of presentation: fresh, wilted and $dry{\times}4$ levels of supplementation: 10, 20, 30 and 40% of total forage allowance with LL leaves. The goats were assigned based on weight and age to one of the twelve diets in a randomized manner and each level had five animals (replicates) per diet for 56 days. The form of presentation of LL leaves had effects on dry matter (DM) and nutrient composition. DM and NDF were higher in the dry LL leaves (p<0.05). In the diets, CP increased as the level of supplementation with LL leaves increased (p<0.05). Mean CP was similar in the fresh ($14.8{\pm}3.5%$), wilted ($14.3{\pm}3.3%$) and dry forms ($13.9{\pm}3.1%$). Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) decreased linearly (p<0.05) with increase in levels of supplementation. Organic matter (OM) followed the trend of CP concentration (p<0.05). Drying was observed to reduce the availability of CP at the different levels of supplementation and subsequently this affected the NDF of the diets. DM intake of the goats on the fresh and wilted LL leaves was significantly higher (p<0.05) than in those on the dry LL leaves. DM intake of the basal diet was observed to decrease as the level of supplementation (p<0.05) increased regardless of the form of presentation of LL. Growth rate was best (p<0.05) on the fresh form followed by wilted and the least in the dry form. Growth rate decreased linearly (p<0.05) with increase in the level of supplementation in the dry form. The form of presentation and level of supplementation influenced DM, CP and OM digestibility (p<0.05). Except for NDF, the digestibility of DM, CP and OM were better (p<0.05) in the goats on fresh LL leaves compared to the wilted and dry leaves. Based on the data on DMI, growth rate and apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients, the results suggest that LL leaves is best utilized when fed fresh or wilted to goats. In the dry form of presentation, the best level of supplementation without a reduction in voluntary DMI and growth rate is the 20%. In the fresh and wilted form, LL leaves could be fed up to the 40% level with improved DMI, growth rate and nutrient utilization.

시설오이로 많이 재배되고 있는 4 품종을 선발하여 생육단계별로 DPPH radical 소거활성, 아질산염 소거활성, ABTS 소거활성 그리고 항산화효소 활성에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 장죽청장 품종이 모든 생육단계에서 DPPH radical 소거활성이 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 그 외 품종들 간에는 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 또한 생육단계별로는 수확기에 못 미친 미성숙단계에서 DPPH radical 소거 활성이 높게 나타났다. 아질산염 소거활성은 pH가 1.2일 경우 모든 품종과 생육단계에서 40% 이상 분해시켰으며, 특히 장형낙합과 신조은백다다기 품종이 상대적으로 높은 활성을 보였다. 또한 pH 4.0에서는 추출물 모두에서 30% 이상의 아질산염 소거활성을 나타냈으며, pH 6.0에서는 대부분 활성이 없었다. ABTS 소거활성은 장죽청장과 늘푸른 청장 품종이 다른 품종보다 상대적으로 다소 높은 소거능을 나타냈고, 생육단계별로는 대부분의 품종에서 ABTS 소거능에 큰 차이를 보이지는 않았다. SOD 활성은 모든 품종과 전 생육단계에서 95% 이상의 높은 활성을 보였으며, 품종 간에 거의 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. CAT 활성은 전체적으로 장죽청장과 늘푸른청장 품종이 그리고 APX 활성은 늘푸른청장, 장형낙합 품종에서 상대적으로 높은 활성을 나타냈고, POX 활성은 생육단계별로 뚜렷한 경향을 보여 수확기에 이를수록 활성이 현저히 감소하는 결과를 나타냈다. 본 실험의 결과, 오이의 높은 항산화능을 확인함으로서 향후 향장소재 및 식품소재로서의 이용 가치성을 증대시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

Skeletal muscle is of major economic importance since it is finally converted to meat for consumers. The increase in meat production with low costs of production may be achieved by optimizing muscle growth, whereas a high meat quality requires, among other factors, the optimization of intramuscular glycogen and fat stores. Thus, research in energy metabolism aims at controling muscle metabolism, but also liver and adipose tissue metabolism in order to optimize energy partitioning in favour of muscles. Liver is characterized by high anabolic and catabolic rates. Metabolic enzymes are regulated by nutrients through short-term regulation of their activities and long-term regulation of expression of their genes. Consequences of liver metabolic regulation on energy supply to muscles may affect protein deposition (and hence growth) as well as intramuscular energy stores. Adipose tissues are important body reserves of triglycerides, which result from the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis. Both processes depend on the feeding level and on the nature of nutrients, which indirectly affect energy delivery to muscles. In muscles, the regulation of rate-limiting nutrient transporters, of metabolic enzyme activities and of ATP production, as well as the interactions between nutrients affect free energy availability for muscle growth and modify muscle metabolic characteristics which determine meat quality. The growth of tissues and organs, the number and the characteristics of muscle fibers depend, for a great part, on early events during the fetal life. They include variations in quantitative and qualitative nutrient supply to the fetus, and hence in maternal nutrition. During the postnatal life, muscle growth and characteristics are affected by the age and the genetic type of the animals, the feeding level and the diet composition. The latter determines the nature of available nutrients and the rate of nutrient delivery to tissues, thereby regulating metabolism. Physical activity at pasture also favours the orientation of muscle metabolism, towards the oxidative type. Consequently, breeding systems may be of a great importance during the postnatal life. Research is now directed towards the determination of individual tissue and organ energy requirements, a better knowledge of nutrient partitioning between and within organs and tissues. The discovery of new molecules (e. g. leptin), of new molecular mechanisms and of more powerful techniques (DNA chips) will help to achieve these objectives. The integration of the different levels of knowledge will finally allow scientists to formulate new types of diets adapted to sustain a production of high quality meat with lower costs of production.
