The combined effects of reactivity coefficients, along with other core nuclear characteristics, determine reactor core behavior in normal operation and accident conditions. The Power Coefficient of Reactivity (PCR) is an aggregate indicator representing the change in reactor core reactivity per unit change in reactor power. It is an integral quantity which captures the contributions of the fuel temperature, coolant void, and coolant temperature reactivity feedbacks. All nuclear reactor designs provide a balance between their inherent nuclear characteristics and the engineered reactivity control features, to ensure that changes in reactivity under all operating conditions are maintained within a safe range. The $CANDU^{(R)}$ reactor design takes advantage of its inherent nuclear characteristics, namely a small magnitude of reactivity coefficients, minimal excess reactivity, and very long prompt neutron lifetime, to mitigate the demand on the engineered systems for controlling reactivity and responding to accidents. In particular, CANDU reactors have always taken advantage of the small value of the PCR associated with their design characteristics, such that the overall design and safety characteristics of the reactor are not sensitive to the value of the PCR. For other reactor design concepts a PCR which is both large and negative is an important aspect in the design of their engineered systems for controlling reactivity. It will be demonstrated that during Loss of Regulation Control (LORC) and Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) events, the impact of variations in power coefficient, including a hypothesized larger than estimated PCR, has no safety-significance for CANDU reactor design. Since the CANDU 6 PCR is small, variations in the range of values for PCR on the performance or safety of the reactor are not significant.

육계 병아리에서 어유 함유사료 급여에 의한 급성기 반응중의 생산성 감소 완화와 단백질 대사, 에너지 대사 및 항산화효소 활성의 관계를 조사하였다. 병아리에 1일령부터 어유 사료를 급여하면 급성기 반응중에 에너지 밸런스를 높이나 성장률, 요산 배설량과 질소 밸런스가 낮아지지 않았으며, 대두유 함유 사료를 급여한 것에 비하여 간장과 적혈구 세포액의 SOD 활성을 높였다. 이러한 결과는 어유 함유사료 급여로 급성기 반응중의 증체량 감소가 완화되는 효과는 항산화효소계의 조정과 에너지 급원의 소화관내 흡수 증가에 기인한다는 것을 나타낸다.

본 연구는 충남 K대학교 남녀 학생 269명을 대상으로 24시간 활동일기 작성에 의한 신체활동수준과 간이식으로 체중을 적용해 구한 기초대사량을 공식에 대입해 1일 에너지소비량을 산출한 후, 식사기록법으로 조사한 1일 에너지섭취량과 비교해 에너지 균형을 평가하였고, 이들 요인과 인바디로 측정한 신체조성과의 관계를 분석하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 조사대상자의 평균 연령은 남녀 모두 19.5세로 같으며, 성별 구성도 남학생 48.3%와 여학생 51.7%로 비슷하였다. 2) 조사대상자의 평균 신장은 남자 $174.4{\pm}5.6cm$, 여자 $161.8{\pm}4.5cm$이며, 평균 체중은 남자 $68.4{\pm}11.1kg$, 여자 $54.5{\pm}6.8kg$이었다. 평균 BMI는 남녀 모두 정상체중 범위에 속하였다. BMI에 의한 체중 분포는 전체대상자의 66.9%가 정상체중에 속했으며, 여자가 남자보다 저체중 비율이 높고 과체중 비율이 낮았다 (p<0.001). 평균 체지방률은 남자 $19.1{\pm}5.4%$, 여자 $28.4{\pm}5.0%$로 정상체중 이상이었다. 3) 하루 활동별 사용시간을 남녀별로 살펴본 결과, 저강도 활동 이하에 속하는 활동에서는 남녀 간에 차이가 없었다. 그러나 하루 중 중강도 활동에 속하는 '걸레질' (p<0.05), '에어로빅댄스 빠르게 걷기' (p<0.05)가 차지하는 시간비율은 여자가 남자보다 높은 반면에, 고강도 활동에 속하는 '스키 배구 배드민턴 조깅 등산' (p<0.01), '축구 저항성운동 테니스 스케이팅' (p<0.01), '수영' (p<0.01)이 차지하는 시간비율은 남자가 여자보다 높았다. 4) 24시간 활동일기를 이용해 구한 하루 활동별 사용시간 비율과 해당 기초대사량 배수를 적용해 구한 1일 평균 신체활동수준은 남자 1.55, 여자 1.47이어서, 남녀 모두 '저활동적' 수준에 속하였다. 그리고 체중 이용 공식으로 구한 기초대사량과 1일 신체활동수준에 의해 산출한 1일 평균 에너지소비량은 남자 $2,803.5{\pm}788.9$ kcal/일, 여자 $1,915.4{\pm}510.2$ kcal/일이었다 (p<0.001). 또한 1일 평균 에너지섭취량이 1일 평균 에너지소비량보다 남자는 $-476.5{\pm}955.9$ kcal/일, 여자는 $-113.3{\pm}728.1$ kcal/일 (p<0.01)로 적어 남녀 모두 음의 에너지 균형을 이루었다. 5) 1일 에너지섭취량의 에너지 필요추정량에 대한 평균 비율은 남자 $89.6{\pm}21.5%$, 여자 $85.5{\pm}25.1%$로 기준치에 미달되었다. 단백질, 비타민 A 및 비타민 C의 1일 평균 섭취량은 남녀 모두 권장섭취량을 충족시켰다. 칼슘 섭취량의 권장섭취량에 대한 평균 비율은 남자 $86.0{\pm}32.7%$, 여자 $86.6{\pm}41.1%$로 남녀 모두 권장섭취량에 약간 미달되었다. 철의 1일 평균 섭취량은 남자는 권장섭취량을 충족하였으며 여자는 권장섭취량의 $91.2{\pm}36.3%$로 약간 미달되었다 (p<0.001). 탄수화물 : 단백질 : 지방에 의한 평균 에너지 섭취 비율은 남자 56.0 : 18.4 : 25.6%, 여자 57.7 : 17.4 : 24.9%로 남녀가 같았다. 아침 : 점심 : 저녁 식사에 의한 평균 에너지 섭취 비율은 남녀 모두 세끼 간에 고르게 분포해 있었다. 6) 1일 에너지소비량은 체중 (p<0.01), 체질량지수 (p<0.01), 제지방량률 (p<0.05)과 각각 정의 상관관계가 있으나, 체지방률과는 부의 상관관계 (p<0.01)가 있었다. 이상에서 조사대상자의 평균 BMI는 남녀 모두 정상체중에 속하며, 평균 체지방률은 남녀 모두 정상체중 이상이었다. 조사대상자가 평균적으로 음의 에너지 균형을 이루고 있음에도 이런 결과가 나온 것은 신장 대비 체중은 정상체중이어도 체조성상으로는 체지방이 과다하고 제지방이 부족할 가능성을 보여주었다. 실제로 본 조사에서 조사대상자가 정상체중을 가지려면 남녀 모두 평균적으로 현재체중보다 체지방량을 약 3 kg 감량하고 제지방을 약 3 kg 증량해야 하는 것으로 나타나 체조성의 조절이 필요하였다. 대학생 시기는 성인기의 생활습관과 건강 기반을 마련하는 시기로서, 성인기동안 나이가 들수록 기초대사량 감소 등으로 에너지소비량이 감소해 비만율이 증가하면서 동반 질병 발생 위험이 높아지는 사실을 놓고 볼 때 대학생 시기에 활기찬 신체활동습관과 함께 올바른 식습관이 몸에 배이도록 영양교육을 실시할 필요가 있다고 하겠다. 또한 향후 체중관리를 위한 에너지섭취량과 에너지소비량의 두 축의 중요성을 감안해 이들의 실태파악과 이를 적용한 한국인 에너지 필요추정량 설정과 함께 에너지 소비량을 정확하면서 편리하게 측정할 수 있는 연구도구를 개발할 필요가 있다고 생각한다. 본 연구는 공식 대입 방식으로 1일 에너지소비량을 추정하였으며, 이를 위해 필요한 기초대사량은 간이식으로 체중을 적용해 구하고 1일 신체활동수준은 24시간 활동일기로 구해 에너지소비량을 정확하게 파악하지 못했으며, 조사대상자의 표본 크기도 모집단을 대표하기에는 부족한 한계점을 가지고 있으므로 앞으로 이점을 보완한 후속 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

This paper focuses on a systematic configuration of steam reforming fuel processor, particularly designed for small and medium sized hydrogen production application. In a typical integration of the fuel processor, there exist significant temperature gradients over the entire system which has negative effect on both catalyst life-time and system performance. Also, the volumetric inefficiency should be avoided to obtain the possible compactness for the commercial purpose. In the present work, the computational analysis will be performed to gain the fundamental insight on the transport phenomena and chemical reactions in the reformer consisting of preheating, steam reforming (SR), and water gas shift (WGS) reaction beds in the flow direction. Also, the fuel processing system includes a top-fired burner providing necessary thermal energy for endothermic catalytic reactor. A fully two-dimensional numerical modeling for a integrated fuel processing system is introduced for in-depth analysis of the heat and mass transport phenomena based on surface kinetics and catalytic process. In the model, water gas shift reaction and decomposition reaction were assumed to be at equilibrium. A kinetic model was developed and then computational results were compared with the experimental data available in the literature. Finally, the case study was done by considering the key parameters, i.e. steam to carbon (S/C) ratio and temperature. The computer-aided models developed in this study can be greatly utilized for the design of advanced fast-paced compact fuel processors research.

Protozoa can represent as half of the total rumen microbial biomass. Around 10 genera are generally present on the same time in the rumen. Based on nutritional aspects they can be divided in large entodiniomorphs, small entodiniomorphs and isotrichs. Their feeding behaviour and their enzymatic activities differ considerably. Many comparisons between defaunated and refaunated animals were carried out during the last two decades to explain the global role of protozoa at the ruminal or animal levels. It is now generally considered that a presence of an abundant protozoal population in the rumen has a negative effect on the amino acid (AA) supply to ruminants and contribute to generate more methane but, nevertheless, protozoa must not be considered as parasites. They are useful for numerous reasons. They stabilise rumen pH when animal are fed diets rich in available starch and decrease the redox potential of rumen digesta. Because cellulolytic bacteria are very sensitive to these two parameters, protozoa indirectly stimulate the bacterial cellulolytic activity and supply their own activity to the rumen microbial ecosystem. They could also supply some peptides in the rumen medium which can stimulate the growth of the rumen microbiota, but this aspect has never been considered in the past. Their high contribution to ammonia production has bad consequences on the urinary nitrogen excretion but means also that less dietary soluble nitrogen is necessary when protozoa are present. Changes in the molar percentages of VFA and gases from rumen fermentations are not so large that they could alter significantly the use of energy by animals. The answer of animals to elimination of protozoa (defaunation) depends on the balance between energy and protein needs of animals and the supply of nutrients supplied through the diet. Defaunation is useful in case of diets short in protein nitrogen but not limited in energy supply for animals having high needs of proteins.

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin E and zinc supplementation on energy metabolites, lipid peroxidation, and milk production in peripartum Sahiwal cows. For this, thirty-two pregnant dry Sahiwal cows were selected at sixty days prepartum and divided into four groups viz control, $T_1$, $T_2$, and $T_3$ of eight each. Group $T_1$ were supplemented with zinc at 60 ppm/d/cow, group $T_2$ were supplemented with vitamin E at 1,000 IU/d/cow and group $T_3$ were supplemented with combination of vitamin E at 1,000 IU/d/cow and zinc at 60 ppm/d/cow during d 60 prepartum to d 90 postpartum. Blood samples were collected on d -60, -45, -30, -15, -7, -3, 0, 3, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, 90, and 120 with respect to day of parturition and analysed for glucose, non esterified fatty acid, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance. Body condition score was maintained significantly better (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than in the control, $T_1$ and $T_2$ groups. Overall glucose level was higher (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. Levels of nonesterified fatty acid, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance were lower (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. Milk yield was higher (p<0.05) in $T_3$ than control, $T_1$, and $T_2$ groups. In conclusion, the present study indicated that the supplementation of vitamin E and zinc in peripartum Sahiwal cows enhanced milk production by reducing negative energy balance.

In this study, the Slab Ocean Model (SOM) is coupled with an Atmospheric General Circulation Model (AGCM) which developed in University of Kangnung based on the land surface model of Biosphere-Atmosphere Transfer Scheme (BATS). The purposes of this study are to understand radiative role of clouds considering of the atmospheric feedback, and to compare the Clouds Radiative Forcing (CRF) come from the analyses using the clear-cloud sky method and CGCM. The new CGCM was integrated by using two sets of the clouds with radiative role (EXP-A) and without radiative role (EXP-B). Clouds in this two cases show the negative effect $-26.0\;Wm^{-2}$ of difference of radiation budget at top of atmosphere (TOA). The annual global means radiation budget of this simulation at TOA is larger than the estimations ($-17.0 Wm^{-2}$) came from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE). The work showed the surface negative effect with $-18.6 Wm^{-2}$ in the two different simulations of CRF. Otherwise, sensible heat flux in the simulation shows a great contribution with positive forcing of $+24.4 Wm^{-2}$. It is found that cooling effect to the surface temperature due to radiative role of clouds is about $7.5^{\circ}C$. From this study it could make an accurate of the different CRF estimation considering either feedback of EXP-B or not EXP-A under clear-sky and cloud-sky conditions respectively at TOA. This result clearly shows its difference of CRF $-11.1 Wm^{-2}$.

While the existing feng-shui is largely approached architecturally and geographically as positive place and negative place, the study is characterized by approaching and analyzing poong-soo environmentally. The theory of Eco-city as one of modern-city theories is worthy of studying by analyzing the merits and demerits of it and combining it with poong-soo and making a new alternative theory. Theory of Natural Energy and principle of Natural Balance. Thus, poong-soo ideas can be an important view of nature in analyzing the theory of Eco-city which is coming to the front these days. In particular, we try to make use of poong-soo as a basic theory for a city planning and design by studying and analyzing and combining the merits and demerits of Eco-city with poong-soo and presenting a new alternative method of a stable and balanced "refined city development". On the other hand, we connect 'theory with practice(or experience)' by covering all spaces variably from minimum unit space to city-space from the standpoint of poong-soo. But, problem of the Theory of Eco-city from the view of poong-soo are too artificial and theoretical, even if ideal. Conversely, from the view of Eco-city, the possibility of the practicability of Korean poong-soo is judged to be high. we can tell that among capital cities applied by poong-soo, historical cities like Beijing in China, Seoul in Korea and Tokyo in Japan are poong-soo cities in accordance with the requirements of Eco-city.
