Purpose: The aim of this study was to present new a model that allows the study of the bone healing process, with an emphasis on the biological behavior of different graft-to-host interfaces. A standardized "over-inlay" surgical technique combined with a differential histomorphometric analysis is presented in order to optimize the use of critical-size calvarial defects in pre-clinical testing. Methods: Critical-size defects were created into the parietal bone of 8 male Wistar rats. Deproteinized bovine bone (DBBM) blocks were inserted into the defects, so that part of the block was included within the calvarial thickness and part exceeded the calvarial height (an "over-inlay" graft). All animals were sacrificed at 1 or 3 months. Histomorphometric and immunohistochemical evaluation was carried out within distinct regions of interest (ROIs): the areas adjacent to the native bone (BA), the periosteal area (PA) and the central area (CA). Results: The animals healed without complications. Differential morphometry allowed the examination of the tissue composition within distinct regions: the BA presented consistent amounts of new bone formation (NB), which increased over time ($24.53%{\pm}1.26%$ at 1 month; $37.73%{\pm}0.39%$ at 3 months), thus suggesting that this area makes a substantial contribution toward NB. The PA was mainly composed of fibrous tissue ($71.16%{\pm}8.06%$ and $78.30%{\pm}2.67%$, respectively), while the CA showed high amounts of DBBM at both time points ($78.30%{\pm}2.67%$ and $74.68%{\pm}1.07%$, respectively), demonstrating a slow remodeling process. Blood vessels revealed a progressive migration from the interface with native bone toward the central area of the graft. Osterix-positive cells observed at 1 month within the PA suggested that the periosteum was a source of osteoprogenitor elements. Alkaline phosphatase data on matrix deposition confirmed this observation. Conclusions: The present model allowed for a standardized investigation of distinct graft-to-host interfaces both at vertically augmented and inlay-augmented sites, thus possibly limiting the number of animals required for pre-clinical investigations.

In Guadeloupe small ruminants (SR) are reared for meat production under pasture conditions. Intensive rotational grazing systems (irrigated, fertilised and high stocked) allow reasonable levels of production but generate high post-grazing residues. Experiments were designed to control them. A system in which residuals were mown (RM) was tested in comparison to the control system (Residuals Remained, RR). The same design was carried out for two years with Creole goat (G) and Martinik sheep (S). An accelerated reproductive rate (3 parturitions over 2 years) was carried out. Systems were compared at three parturition seasons per year(dry, intermediate and rainy seasons). Each group was composed of 20 goats ($36.0{\pm}2.5kg$) or 20 ewes ($46.8{\pm}2.4kg$). The female body traits did not vary according to pasture management and seasons. The stocking rate averaged 1,400 kg LW/ha. The mean fertility rate for does varied significantly (p<0.05) within the kidding season, from $80.4{\pm}0.5%$ to $93.7{\pm}2.9%$ while the mean litter size was $2.30{\pm}0.07$ total kids born. No effect of pasture system was observed. Corresponding values for ewes were $83.2{\pm}12.8%$ vs. $75.6{\pm}12.5%$ (p<0.05) and $2.43{\pm}0.24$ vs. $2.03{\pm}0.29$ (p<0.01) total lambs born for SRM and SRR ewes, respectively. A seasonal effect was observed upon ewe performances. The preweaning mortality of kids and lambs averaged 16.3% and 14.4%, respectively. It was 7 and 9 percentage points more (p<0.01) for RR than for RM kids and lambs, respectively. For both species, weaning took place at an average age of $81.4{\pm}3.6days$. In Creole kids, live weight at birth and at weaning were $1.9{\pm}0.2kg$ and $8.9{\pm}0.8kg$, respectively. In the Martinik sheep, the traits averaged $2.9{\pm}0.2kg$ and $18.9{\pm}0.9kg$. For both traits in both species, significant (p<0.05) group${\times}$season interactions were recorded. The consequences of elimination of post-grazing residues varied according to the SR species, the environmental conditions and the animal physiological status. The forage characteristics were not limiting factors since forage availability in the RM systems (2,300 and 2,600 kg DM/ha, respectively) and chemical composition were at satisfactory levels (CP content averaged 12 and 10%). It is recommended to develop new grazing system which would allow the use of post-grazing residues instead of mowing the refusals.

A series of in vitro studies were carried out to determine i) the effects of enzyme and formaldehyde treatment on the degradation characteristics of carbohydrate and protein sources and on the synchronicity of these processes, and ii) the effects of synchronizing carbohydrate and protein supply on rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis (MPS) in in vitro experiments. Untreated corn (C) and enzyme-treated corn (EC) were combined with soy bean meal with (ES) and without (S) enzyme treatment or formaldehyde treatment (FS). Six experimental feeds (CS, CES, CFS, ECS, ECES and ECFS) with different synchrony indices were prepared. Highly synchronous diets had the greatest dry matter (DM) digestibility when untreated corn was used. However, the degree of synchronicity did not influence DM digestibility when EC was mixed with various soybean meals. At time points of 12 h and 24 h of incubation, EC-containing diets showed lower ammonia-N concentrations than those of C-containing diets, irrespective of the degree of synchronicity, indicating that more efficient utilization of ammonia-N for MPS was achieved by ruminal microorganisms when EC was offered as a carbohydrate source. Within C-containing treatments, the purine base concentration increased as the diets were more synchronized. This effect was not observed when EC was offered. There were significant effects on VFA concentration of both C and S treatments and their interactions. Similar to purine concentrations, total VFA production and individual VFA concentration in the groups containing EC as an energy source was higher than those of other groups (CS, CES and CFS). The results of the present study suggested that the availability of energy or the protein source are the most limiting factors for rumen fermentation and MPS, rather than the degree of synchronicity.

Dextran is a generic term for a bacterial exopolysaccharide synthesized from sucrose and composed of chains of D-glucose units connected by ${\alpha}$-1,6-linkages by using dextransucrases. Dextran could be used as vicosifying, stabilizing, emulsifying, gelling, bulking, dietary fiber, prebiotics, and water holding agents. We isolated new strain capable of producing dextran from Korean traditional kimchi and identified as Leuconostoc sp. strain JYY4. Batch fermentation was conducted in bioreactor with a working volume of 3 L. The media was MMY and 15% (w/v) sucrose. Mineral medium consisted of $3.0g\;KH_2PO_4$, $0.01g\;FeSO_4$, $H_2O$, $0.01g\;MnSO_4$, $4H_2O$, $0.2g\;MgSO_4\;7H_2O$, 0.01 g NaCl, $0.05g\;CaCl_2$ per 1 liter deionized water. The pH of media was initially adjusted to 6.0. The inoculation rate was 1.0% (v/v) of the working volume. Temperature was maintained at $28^{\circ}C$. The agitation rate was 100 rpm. The production pattern of dextran was associated with the cell growth. After 24 hr dextran reached its highest concentration of 59.4 g/L. The sucrose was consumed completely after 40 hr. Growth reached stationery phase when sucrose became limiting, regardless of the presence of fructose or mannitol. When the specific growth rate was 0.54 hr-1, utilization averaged 5.8 g/L-hr. The yield and productivity of dextran were 80% and 2.0 g/L-hr, respectively. Dextrans produced by were separated to two different size by an alcohol fraction method. The size of high molecular weight dextran (45% alcohol, v/v), less soluble dextran, was between MW 500,000 and 2,000,000. Soluble dextran (55% alcohol, v/v) was between 70,000 and 150,000. The molecular weight average of total dextran (70% alcohol, v/v) was between 150,000 to 500,000. The enzymatic hydrolyzates of total dextran of ATCC 13146 showed branched dextrans by Penicillium dextranase contained of glucose, isomaltose, isomaltotriose, and isomaltooligosaccharides greater than DP4 (degree of polymerization) that had branch points. Compounds greater than DP4 were branched isomaltooligosaacharides. Hydrolysates by the Lipomyces dextranase produced the same composition of oligosaccharides as those by Penicillin dextranase.

Purpose - It has been argued that the regulations restricting entry and opening hours of General Super Markets and Super Super Markets have not been as effective as expected. In contrast, the win-win item scheme that appeared recently has the advantage that it could raise the effectiveness of the system in that win-win items are in principle resigned on the basis of bilateral agreements. This study analyzes the win-win item agreement made between Homeplus at Hap-jung and small traditional markets to examine the practical effectiveness of the win-win item scheme. While existing literature studying the regulatory effects have concentrated on the restrictions around store entry or opening hours of large retailers, it can be said that there have been few empirical studies on the effect of win-win items agreement with large retailers. Research design, data, and methodology - Homeplus at Hap-jung made a win-win items agreement with nearby small traditional market traders in 2013. In accordance with this voluntary agreement, Homeplus started by limiting its sales to 15 win-win items. The survey was conducted through one-on-one interviews, April 14 to May 2, 2014, by a professional public opinion research agency. The interviews were targeted at small business retailers in the nearby traditional market. We divided the traditional markets near Homeplus at Hap-jung where the win-win item agreement was achieved into two groups, win-win item agreement markets and non win-win item agreement markets, to compare the performance difference between the two groups. Results - To determine the change in sales of the 15 win-win items, we examined the performance difference between the two groups using two criteria (compared with similar items, and compared to sales volume a year ago). The results show that the individual sales of win-win items in the win-win item agreement markets are more likely to increase than in the non win-win item agreement markets. Total sales volume of individual stores in the agreement markets also showed a more significant increase compared to a year ago than those in non win-win item agreement markets. Conclusions - Contrary to the existing retail regulations that have one-sided and uniform characteristics, it can be pointed out that the win-win item scheme has the effect of increasing the success of the system itself because it is done on the basis of mutual agreement between General Super Markets and traditional markets. The empirical results of this study can be said to support this conjecture. For the successful settlement of a win-win items agreement, the following points should be reviewed. First, it requires a great effort from the selection process of win-win items in order to improve the effectiveness of the agreement. Second, the existing General Super Markets customers should be introduced to the traditional markets or small shops to increase the sales of win-win items. Therefore, voluntary effort is essentially required from the traditional markets to engage customers.

스테레오 영상은 단일 영상과는 달리 오른쪽과 왼쪽, 2개의 영상으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 단일 영상에 비하여 더욱 많은 데이터량을 가지게 된다. 따라서 이를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 영상 압축 기술이 필요하게 되었고, 이를 위해 DPCM기반의 예측 부호화 압축 기술을 대부분의 비디오 압축 표준에서 사용한다. 예측 부호화 기술의 구현을 위해 움직임 추정 및 변이 추정이 필요한데 이를 수행하는 알고리즘으로 여러 가지 비디오 코딩 표준들에서 블록 정합 알고리즘을 사용한다. 블록 정합 알고리즘 중 완전탐색 알고리즘은 기준 블록을 탐색영역 안에 존재하는 모든 블록과 비교하여 최적의 블록을 찾아낸다. 이 알고리즘은 최적의 블록을 찾을 수 있어 효율은 좋으나 많은 연산량이 단점이 된다. 본 논문에서는 스테레오 영상에서 움직임 벡터 정보와 전 프레임의 변이벡터 정보를 이용하여 고속으로 현재 프레임의 변이 벡터를 추정할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다. 변이 벡터 추정시 전역 변이 벡터를 사용하여 탐색 영역을 줄이고, 전 프레임들 사이에서 구한 변이 벡터 정보를 재사용하면서 움직임 벡터 정보를 이용하여 탐색 위치를 제한함으로 연산량을 줄여 고속의 변이 벡터 추정을 가능하게 하였다. 실험결과 제안 알고리즘은 움직임이 많은 복잡 영상 보다는 움직임이 적은 단순 영상에서의 성능이 훨씬 뛰어났으며, 움직임이 적은 단순 영상에서의 변이 벡터 추정 시에 약간의 residual 증가는 있지만 빠른 처리 속도를 제공하여 고속의 변이 벡터 추정을 가능하게 함을 확인하였다.

Background: Preservation of biological tissues has been used since ancient times. Regardless of the method employed, tissue preservation is thought to be a vital step in veterinary surgery teaching and learning. Objectives: This study was designed to determine the usability of chemically preserved cadaveric equine heads for surgical teaching in veterinary medicine. Methods: Six cadaveric equine heads were collected immediately after death or euthanasia and frozen until fixation. Fixation was achieved by using a hypertonic solution consisting of sodium chloride, sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate, and an alcoholic solution containing ethanol and glycerin. Chemically preserved specimens were stored at low temperatures (2℃ to 6℃) in a conventional refrigerator. The specimens were submitted to gross and organoleptic assessment right after fixative solution injection (D0) and within 10, 20, and 30 days of fixation (D10, D20, and D30, respectively). Samples of tissue from skin, tongue, oral vestibule, and masseter muscle were collected for histological evaluation at the same time points. Results: Physical and organoleptic assessments revealed excellent specimen quality (mean scores higher than 4 on a 5-point scale) in most cases. In some specimens, lower scores (3) were assigned to the range of mouth opening, particularly on D0 and D10. A reduced the range of mouth opening may be a limiting factor in teaching activities involving structures located in the oral cavity. Conclusions: The excellent physical, histologic, and organoleptic characteristics of the specimens in this sample support their usability in teaching within the time frame considered. Appropriate physical and organoleptic characteristics (color, texture, odor, and flexibility) of the specimens in this study support the use of the method described for preparation of reusable anatomical specimens.

문화재의 경관을 보호하기 위해 설정된 개인 소유의 건축물에 대한 일괄적인 높이 규제 기준은 토지 소유자의 개발을 제한함으로써 심각한 사회적 갈등의 원인이 되고 있다. 이러한 갈등을 해소하고 도시 개발과 문화재의 경관 관리를 동시에 충족시킬 수 있는 건축물의 높이 규제 기준을 평가할 수 있는 지표의 도입이 절실히 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 이에 본 연구는 건조물 문화재가 도시의 상징적 경관을 형성하고 있는 전주 풍남문(보물 제308호)과 그 주변 지역을 대상으로 문화재보호법과 국토의 계획 및 이용에 관한 법률에 따른 경관 변화를 시뮬레이션하고, 3차원 시각노출도라는 지표를 적용함으로써 경관의 정량적 평가를 시도하였다. 그 결과, 풍남문의 조망 기회와 조망 부위는 관련 법규에 따른 경관 변화가 발생하더라도 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 다만 개발 용량이 가장 큰 국토의 계획 및 이용에 관한 법률에 의한 건축물의 높이 변화는 배경 건물의 3차원 시각노출도를 현황 보다 2배 이상 증가시킴으로써 풍남문의 식별을 약화시킬 수 있는 가능성이 확인되었다. 또한 풍남문의 스카이라인은 국토의 계획 및 이용에 관한 법률에 따른 개발 시 확연히 침해되는 현상이 나타났으나 문화재보호법에 의한 규제에 있어서는 현황과 유사하게 유지되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같이 본 연구는 3차원 시각노출도의 적용을 통해 건축물의 높이 변화에 따른 문화재로의 조망 기회와 조망 부위의 변화, 스카이라인의 침해 여부 등을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 프로그램을 개발하고, 도심 지역에 위치한 문화재의 경관 평가 지표로서 3차원 시각노출도의 활용 가능성을 보여주었다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

우즈베키스탄 Maidanak 천문대 AZT-22 1.5 m 망원경(f/7.74)과 SITe $2000{\times}800$CCD를 사용하여 3개의 ${\delta}$ Cep 변광성 CEa Cas, CEb Cas 및 CF Cas가 있는 중년 산개성단 NGC 7790의 UBVI 측광 관측을 수행하였다. 관측자료는 IRAF/DAOPHOT를 이용하여 PSF 측광을 수행하였으며, V와 I 필터에서 모두 측광된 별의 수는 총 1008개이며, 측광의 한계등급은 $V{\approx}22$등급이다. 대기소광계수 및 측광영점을 결정하기 위하여 천구적도에 있는 여러 표준별과 청색 및 적색 표준별을 다양한 대기투과량에서 관측하였다. 표준별 측광을 통해 대기소광계수 및 측광영점을 결정하고, 성단의 측광자료는 Johnson-Cousins UBVI 표준계로 변환하였다. NGC 7790의 UBVI 색-등급도와 색-색도에서 이 성단의 B와 V 필터에서의 색초과량 [$E(B-V)=0.58{\pm}0.02$], B와 V 필터에서의 선택적 소광량 [$R_V{{\equiv}}A_V/E(B-V)=3.02{\pm}0.09$] 및 거리지수($V_0-M_V=12.65{\pm}0.10$)를 얻었다. H-R도에서 세페이드 변광성의 위치를 고려하여 나이를 결정하였다. 이 과정에서 Padova 연구집단(Bressan et al., 2012)의 등연령곡선(Z=0.019)과 Geneva 연구집단($Ekstr{\ddot{o}}m$ et al., 2012)의 등연령곡선(Z=0.014)을 모두 사용하였고, 그중에서 자전을 고려한 Geneva 연구집단의 진화모형이 관측자료와 잘 일치하여 NGC 7790의 나이로 log $age=8.05{\pm}0.05$ [yr]를 얻었다. 또 NGC 7790내 세페이드 변광성의 절대등급은 세페이드 변광성의 평균 주기-광도 관계에 비해 분산 범위 내에 있기는 하지만 주어진 주기에서 평균적으로 약 0.5등급 정도 밝음을 확인하였다.
