  • Concept and establishment of essential amino acids in animals and human beings rendered immeasurable contributions to animal production and human health. In ruminant animals, however, essential amino acids have never been completely established. The present review proposes a hypothesis that histidine may not be an essential amino acid for normal growing cattle (Japanese black) at least at the growing stage after about 450 kg of body weight on the basis of the experimental results of histidinol dehydrogenase activities in some tissues of the cattle together with hints from which the hypothesis was derived. At the same time, histidinol dehydrogenase activities in liver, kidney and muscle of swine, mouse, fowl and wild duck will be shown and the essentiality of histidine in these animals will be discussed. Finally, the essentiality of histidine for adult human will briefly be discussed.

  • With the continuous growth of e-commerce there is a huge amount of products information available online. Shop managers expect to apply information techniques to increase profit and perfect service. Hence many e-commerce systems use association rule mining to further refine their management. However previous association rule algorithms have two limitations. Firstly, they only use the number to weight item's essentiality and ignore essentiality of item profit. Secondly, they did not consider the relationship between number and profit of item when they do mining. We address a novel algorithm, profit-based association rule algorithm that uses profit-based technique to generate 1-itemsets and the multiple minimum supports mining technique to generate N-items large itemsets.

  • We investigate a chain of properties of real function algebras along the analogous proofs of the complex cases such as the fact that any real function algebra which is both maximal and essential is pervasive. And some properties of real function algebras with a vertex property will be discussed.

  • In recent years a great deal of information has accumulated for livestock on vitamin. function, metabolism and supplemental needs. The role of the antioxidant "vitamins" (carotenoids, vitamin E and vitamin C) in immunity and health of livestock has been a fruitful area of research. These nutrients play important roles in animal health by inactivating harmful free radicals produced through normal cellular activity and from various stressors. Both in vitro and in vivo studies showed that these antioxidant vitamins generally enhance different aspects of cellular and noncellular immunity. A compromised immune system will result in reduced animal production efficiency through increased susceptibility to diseases, thereby leading to increased animal morbidity and mortality. Vitamin E has been shown to increase performance of feedlot cattle and to increase immune response for ruminant health, including being beneficial for mastitis control. Vitamin E given to finishing cattle at higher than National Research Council (NRC) requirements dramatically maintained the red color (oxymyoglobin) compared with the oxidized metmyoglobin of beef. Under commercial livestock and poultry production conditions, vitamin allowances higher than NRC requirements may be needed to allow optimum performance. Generally, the optimum vitamin supplementation level is the quantity that achieves the best growth rate, feed utilization, health (including immune competency), and provides adequate body reserves.

  • This paper proposes a procedure for solving a multi-stage stockpile problem with budget constant. To establish the stockpile importance index, value assessment procedure is employed with two attributes; item's essentiality and Unsatisfactoriness rate of requirements, Then we propose the balancing of stockpile importance index among stockpile items as a reasonable objective for stockpile problem.

  • The purpose of this thesis is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing system which lacks cost-conciousness and does not consider the essentiality or the importance of an item, and to seek the method of providing effective, efficient and economic supply which is the objective of the military inventory management. Selective management technique and lot size model whose demand, and order and shipping time are distributed, are intorduced, and required distributions and parameters are analyzed. Finally hypothetical data are utilized to obtain the model output, which are compared with the existing model and analyzed.

  • A 12-wk feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the essentiality of choline supplementation in diets for parrot fish. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets were supplemented with 0 (as control), 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg choline per kg diet, and a positive control diet without choline contained 0.3% of 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol as choline biosynthesis inhibitor (designated as Con, C500, C1000, C2000 and $Con^+$, respectively). Triplicate groups of fish (body weight, $8.8{\pm}0.01g$) were fed one of the experimental diets at a rate of 4% body weight twice daily. The fish fed $Con^+$ diet revealed significantly lower growth performance and feed utilization efficiency than other fish groups. Supplementation of choline to the basal diet did not significantly influence fish growth. The highest liver lipid content was observed in fish fed the $Con^+$ diet and inversely correlated with liver choline concentration although the differences were not significant. Also, significantly higher liver linoleic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid contents were found in fish fed the $Con^+$ diet. Innate immune parameters including respiratory burst and myeloperoxidase activities were not significantly affected by dietary choline levels. The findings in this study conclude that choline concentration of approximately $230mgkg^{-1}$ diet meets the requirement of parrot fish.

  • Sustainable furniture designs are expressed through reutilization, reuse or redesign of the whole of part of natural materials and existing products. These designs contain natural emotions and show those propensities such as uncertainty, integrity, essentiality and experimental natures. Designs that use natural materials such as wood, bamboo, cork, plants, stones and water have sufficient beauty in themselves and thus these materials are not specially processed but their essence is pursued in those designs. Of those materials, the natural material water is used to pursue the essence of aqua while presenting a new furniture design through an experimental method. The circularity of aqua shares its meaning with the circularity of sustainable designs. In addition, the liquidity of aqua will be grafted onto IT technology to express variable shapes in order to present a new direction of furniture designs.

  • For any nonzero elements x, y in a normed space X, the angular and skew-angular distance is respectively defined by ${\alpha}[x,y]={\parallel}{\frac{x}{{\parallel}x{\parallel}}}-{\frac{y}{{\parallel}y{\parallel}}}{\parallel}$ and ${\beta}[x,y]={\parallel}{\frac{x}{{\parallel}y{\parallel}}}-{\frac{y}{{\parallel}x{\parallel}}}{\parallel}$. Also inequality ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$ characterizes inner product spaces. Operator version of ${\alpha}$ has been studied by $ Pe{\check{c}}ari{\acute{c}}$, $ Raji{\acute{c}}$, and Saito, Tominaga, and Zou et al. In this paper, we study the operator version of ${\beta}$ by using Douglas' lemma. We also prove that the operator version of inequality ${\alpha}{\leq}{\beta}$ holds for commutating normal operators. Some examples are presented to show essentiality of these conditions.
