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.

According to the building regulation U-value limitation of window is $3.3W/m^2{\cdot}K$ in southern regions, while U-value limitation of wall is $0.35{\sim}0.58W/m^2{\cdot}K$. It means that the energy loss through windows is five times more than it through wall. Therefore, this study analyze how much it has affected building energy rating when the insulation performance of windows and walls is changed by building regulation. In conclusion, in order to obtain 2 rating thermal performance of windows is improved more than 10 percent of U-value limitation and it of wall is improved more than 20 percent. The thermal performance of windows is improved more than 20 percent of U-value limitation and it of wall is improved more than 30 percent to receive 1 rating.

Satiety cues a feeding animal to cease further ingestion of food, thus protecting it from excessive energy gain. Impaired control of satiety is often associated with feeding-related disorders such as obesity. In our recent study, we reported the identification of a neural pathway that expresses the myoinhibitory peptide (MIP), critical for satiety responses in Drosophila. Targeted silencing of MIP neuron activity strikingly increased the body weight (BW) through elevated food intake. Similarly, genetic disruption of the gene encoding MIP also elevated feeding and BW. Suppressing the MIP pathway behaviorally transformed the satiated flies to feed similar to the starved ones, with augmented sensitivity to food. Conversely, temporal activation of MIP neuron markedly reduced the food intake and BW, and blunted the sensitivity of the starved flies to food as if they have been satiated. Shortly after termination of MIP neuron activation, the reduced BW reverted to the normal level along with a strong feeding rebound. Together our results reveal the switch-like role of the MIP pathway in feeding regulation by controlling satiety.

최소 생산배지에 포함된 25mM 이상의 무기인(Inorganic phosphate)은 Cephalosporium acremonium의 생육은 증대시켰으나, cephalosporin C(CPC) 생산은 감소시켰다. Phosphate-starved 휴지세포계를 이용하여 균체내의 ATP, ADP와 AMP를 측정하였다. 그 결과로부터 무기인은 adenylated nucleotide의 농도의 비율로 표시되는 energy charge를 조절하여 CPC 생산성에 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 무기인에 의한 CPC 생합성은 repression 효과에 의한 것이 아니라 inhibition 효과에 의해 조절받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The research is to discuss the current resource recycling and recovery policy, which was enacted by Environmental Protection Administrative (EPA) in Taiwan. For the past few years, the solid waste generated in Taiwan has greatly increased about 5 % per year. In addition to the construction of landfill sites and incineration plants, 4 R techniques (Reduction, Reuse, Recycle and Recovery) were also publicized among the citizens and then promulgated to furthermore manage these increased solid waste. Although the regulations have been carried out to a great success, they still need to be revised and updated since solid waste contains varieties of different materials. Therefore, this research discusses the current regulation and makes suggestion for future regulation revision. From the results of this study, energy recovery was suggested to be emphasized in the regulation. Energy could be recovered from materials such as waste tires, and all kinds of plastic containers. Waste tires and most of the plastic containers made of hydrocarbon species, which contains great heating values, should be considered as one of the alternatives for the resource recycling.

Since FERC order 755 was published, each frequency regulation market rules of the North American ISO/RTO have been revised in many parts. In 2016, the domestic CBP market has also changed its market rules to allow ESS to participate in the frequency regulation reserve services(Governor Free and Automatic Generation Control). This paper compares and analyzes the changed North American ISP/RTO market and domestic CBP market rules. In particular, we compare PJM and CAISO frequency regulation market pricing mechanism and settlement rules with the settlement rules of the domestic CBP market and compare the factors of each market used to compensate the participating resources in terms of resource dependency and accuracy.

Constitution declares culture is area that without any interference from the state space, and so creates each person creative energy. It is a typical movie in culture. The film will be referred to as an important expression form as well as high value-added industries of cultural creativity of ethnic communities. Intervention of the state is necessary that by competing mechanisms of diverse opinions and ideas caused harm. State intervention is only to be operated at a minimum. The vulgarity causes young people have impulsive tendencies and affects adults adversely on on issues, regulation is possible for children and youth protection. This paper aims to suggest a new legislative measure about the legal principles of vulgarity regulation to solve this kind of problem efficiently. Some standard allowed vulgarity regulation on the principles of control.

Due to the increasing concerns about the buildings which have affected the global environment, most countries have enacted a regulation for the sustainability of domestic buildings. In 2008, the Korean government started to enact a regulation of apartment and office buildings for energy saving. Many research on the sustainable apartment building focuses on $84m^2$ or larger type in response to market demand; therefore, small size type such as $46m^2$ type needs to be researched. In addition, the research on the orientation and window to wall ratio of the building have been separately studied as a means of energy reduction; therefore, the research on correlation of the orientation and window to wall ratio hasn't been fully explored yet. This paper analyzes the energy demand of the apartment building as the change of orientation and window to wall ratio among $46m^2$ and $84m^2$ type. In conclusion, when reducing the window to wall ratio, energy demand was reduced, except when the orientation of the building was between from +10 to -20 from the south.

Objectives: The prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome is increasing worldwide. Regulation of cellular energy metabolis has the potential to be manipulated therapeutically to serve as a target for obesity and insulin resistance. Skeletal muscle is regarded as a target for regulation of energy metabolism and insulin resistance. In this study, the authors investigated the regulatory effect of (Cinnamomum cassia Blume, CCB), Aconitum carmichaeli Debx (ACD), and Benth (Pueraria lobata Benth, PLB) on energy and glucose metabolism in C2C12 myotubes. Methods: The water extracts of CCB, ACD, and PLB (0.5 mg/ml) were treated in differentiated C2C12 myotubes. The expressions of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and phosphorylation AMPK were detected with western blotting. Glucose metabolism was investigated with glucose uptake assay and glucose consumption assay, total adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content was also analyzed. Results: CCB, ACD, and PLB activated the phophorylation of AMPK, they also increased the glucose metabolism and total ATP contents in C2C12 myotubes. Conclusions: This study suggests that CCB, ACD, and PLB have the potential to increase energy and glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle.
