  • In this work, small-size, high-performance simple solenoid-type RF chip inductors utilizing an Al2O3 core material were investigated. Copper (Cu) wire with $40\mum$ diameter was used as the coils and the size of the chip inductor fabricated in this work was $2.1mm\times1.5mm\times1.0mm$. The external current source was applied after bonding Cu coil leads to gold pads electro-plated on each end of backsides of a core material. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L), quality factor (Q), and impedance (Z) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). This HP4291B was also used to obtain the equivalent circuit and its circuit parameters of the chip inductors. This HP4291B was also used to obtain the equivalent circuit and its circuit parameters of the chip inductors. The developed inductors have the self-resonant frequency (SRF) of 1.1 to 3.1 GHz and exhibit L of 22 to 150 nH. The L of the inductors decreases with increasing the SRF. The Z of the inductors has the maximum value at the SRF and the inductors have the quality factor of 70 to 97 in the frequency range of 500 MHz to 1.5 GHz.

  • This paper concerns the receding of the eastern coastline of Korean peninsula at a macroscopic point of view, the result is as following. 1. Eastern coast is gradually developed from maturity stage to full maturity stage. 2. The coastline recession due to sea level rise is amounted to the receding distance, x=0.045 m per yr. 3. The author proposes another classification from the new view point, which is classified by comparing quantities between river supplying sediment loads, and the littoral drifting due to wave actions. According this, eastern coast is receding(Type Q-A), and we could find it's geomorphological characteristics. 4. The general piofile of eastern coast sand beach is erosional storm profile(Type I) which accompany offshore bar. 5. From the wave measuring data of eastern coast(Hoopo port), I can derive the linear regression line of the exceedance probability of wave height from the log-normal distribution. $z=O. 113+4.335 log_lo H, r=0.983.$ Above equation made it possible to estimate $\omega[=P(H>H_c)]for the effective wave height H_c=2. Om4, 4. Om and their corresponding values are considerable (7.8%, 0.3%) 6. Eastern coastline certainly have the tendency of erosive and receding, owing to the sea level rise, poor sediment source and effective wave actions. It's very desirable to survey coastline evolution for a long time systematically, in order to make more elaborate diagnosis.

  • Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the metabolizable energy (ME) value, standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) of soybean meal (SBM), soy protein concentrate (SPC) and fermented soybean meal (FSBM), and the application of these products in early-weaned piglets. In Exp. 1, four barrows with initial body weight (BW) of $14.2{\pm}1.4$ kg were used in a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. The diet 1 contained corn as the only energy source. The other three diets replaced 25% of corn in diet 1 with one of the three soybean products, and the digestable energy (DE) and ME contents were determined by difference. In Exp. 2, four barrows (initial BW of $18.2{\pm}1.5$ kg) were fitted with ileal T-cannulas and allotted to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design. Three cornstarch-based diets were formulated using each of the soybean products as the sole source of AA. A nitrogen-free diet was also formulated to measure endogenous losses of AA. In Exp. 3, ninety six piglets (initial BW of $5.6{\pm}0.9$ kg) weaned at $21{\pm}2$ d were blocked by weight and assigned to one of three treatments for a 21-d growth performance study. The control diet was based on corn and SBM, the two treatments' diets contained either 10% SPC or FSBM and were formulated to same SID lysine to ME ratio of 3.6 g/Mcal. The results showed that the ME content of SPC was greater than SBM (p<0.05). The SID of most AA in SPC was greater than the SID of AA in SBM (p<0.05). For the essential AA, the SID of histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine and threonine in FSBM were greater than in SBM (p<0.05). Even though they were fed same SID lysine to ME ratio of 3.6 g/Mcal diets, pigs fed SPC and FSBM diets had greater weight gain, G:F (p<0.05) and better fecal score (p<0.05) than pigs fed SBM diet. In conclusion, SPC showed a higher ME content and SID of AA than the SBM. SID of some essential AA in FSBM was higher than SBM and was similar with SPC. But the lower antigenic proteins and anti-nutritional factors content in SPC and FSBM may be the main factors affecting the performance of early-weaned piglets rather than the increased ME content and SID of AA.

  • Broad Quantification Calibration(B.Q.C)은 SPECT/CT 장비에서 정량적인 평가(Quantitative Analysis)에 사용되는 표준 섭취 계수(Standard Uptake Value; SUV) 측정을 위한 Calibration 이다. Tc-99m, I-123, I-131, Lu-177 네 가지 핵종 별로 B.Q.C 를 시행한 후 SUV 가 정확하게 측정되는지를 검증하기 위해 팬텀 실험을 추가로 시행하였다. SPECT 장비를 위한 국제 기준이 아직까지 명확하게 마련되지 있지 않아 ACR Esser PET phantom을 이용하여 감마카메라 장비에서 사용하는 핵종 별로 SUV 측정을 위한 기반 작업을 수행하고자 하였다. 실험에 사용 된 SPECT/CT 장비는 SIEMENS 사의 Symbia Intevo 16과 Symbia Intevo Bold 두 장비이다. B.Q.C는 point source 를 이용하여 각 detector 에 감도를 인식시켜주는 sensitivity cal. 을 1 차로 시행하고, cylinder phantom 을 이용하여 Volume Sensitivity Factor(VSF)를 산출하는 volume sensitivity cal.을 추가로 시행한다. SUV 측정을 위해 ACR Esser PET phantom을 이용하여 Tc-99m, I-123, I-131, Lu-177 네 가지 핵종 별로 팬텀 영상을 획득하고, 배후방사능(BKG)의 SUVmean와 네 개의 hot vial(25, 16, 12, 8 mm)에서의 SUVmax를 측정하였다. Intevo 16, Intevo Bold 두 장비간의 SUV 차이를 비교하기 위해 SPSS ver. 21(IBM company, USA)을 이용하여 Mann-Whitney 검정을 시행하였다. B.Q.C 시행에 따른 네 가지 핵종 별로, 각 장비와 Detector 1, 2 에서의 Sensitivity(CPS/MBq) 및 VSF 는 다음과 같다(Intevo 16 D1 sensitivity/D2 sensitivity/VSF, Intevo Bold 순). Tc-99m 에서는 87.7/88.6/1.08, 91.9/91.2/1.07, I-123에서는 79.9/81.9/0.98, 89.4/89.4/0.98, I-131에서는 124.8/128.9/0.69, 130.9, 126.8/0.71, Lu-177 에서는 8.7/8.9/1.02, 9.1/8.9/1.00 이었다. ACR Esser PET 팬텀 실험에서 SUV 결과는 다음과 같다(Intevo 16 BKG SUVmean/25mmSUVmax/16mm/12mm/ 8mm, IntevoBold순). Tc-99m에서는 1.03/2.95/2.41/1.96/1.84, 1.03/2.91/2.38/1.87/1.82, I-123에서는 0.97/2.91/2.33/ 1.68/1.45, 1.00/2.80/2.23/1.57/1.32, I-131에서는 0.96/1.61/ 1.13/1.02/0.69, 0.94/1.54/1.08/0.98/0.66, Lu-177에서는 1.00/ 6.34/4.67/2.96/2.28, 1.01/6.21/4.49/2.86/2.21 이었다. 두 장비 간의 팬텀 실험 별 SUV 차이를 비교하기 위해 MannWhitney 검정을 시행한 결과, 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(z=-0.338, p=0.735). 기존 감마카메라는 단면 영상의 육안적인 평가만 가능하였다면, SPECT/CT 영상을 통해 해부학적 정보와 3차원 단층 영상 획득 및 SUV 측정으로 정량 분석이 가능하게 되었다. 주로 사용하는 Tc-99m 뿐만 아니라 I-123, I-131, Lu-177 핵종에 대해서도 Broad Quantification Calibration 을 시행하여 핵종 별로 정량적인 정보를 획득 할 수 있는 기반 작업이 수행 되었고, ACR Esser PET phantom 실험을 통해 SUV 측정의 신뢰도에 대한 검증도 수행 되었다. 장비의 성능 및 정량분석의 재현성을 유지하기 위해 주기적인 장비의 정도관리가 필요할 것이며, 이를 통해 Bone SPECT/CT 뿐만 아니라 기타 다른 SPECT/CT 영상 검사의 추적관찰 및 동위원소 치료 분야에서도 치료반응을 평가하는 등의 많은 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • This experiment was conducted to evaluate the forage yield and quality and the possibility to provide Festulolium bmunii(Festuca pratensis $Huds{\times}Lolium$ mult~jlotum Lam.) as forage source in Korea. The Festuloliurn braunii were harvested at boot, heading and anthesis stage, respectively. The field trials were performed 6om 1994 to 1996 at the forage experimental field, College of agriculture, Chunpam National University. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The date of boot, heading and anthesis stage of Festulolium bmunii observed in Taejon were May 12, May 23 and June 1 in 1995, and June 1, June 4 and June 9 in 1996, respectively. Winter survival percentage of Festulolium bmunii war ranged 6om 96% to 98% and summer survival percentage were 75-86%. It would suggest that Festulolium brawlii persisted well in the aspect of overwintering, while it wasn' t widely adapted to drought and high temperature in Taejon regions. 2. The CP content and DMD of Festulolium bmunii tended to decline as the growth stage advanced. The CP content and DMD of Festulolium bmunii were high at the boot stage and those at the anthesis stage were low. But fiber contents at the boot stage were lower than those at anthesis stage(P< 0.05). The yields of the DM and DDM with advancing the growing stage tended to increase, while there was no difference in the CPDM yields among stages. On the otherhand, the yields of DM and DDM at the anthesis stage were the highest (P< 0.05), but there was no difference in CPDM yield among stages. Based on the results mentioned above, it is suggested that Festulolium b m n i i has a possibility to use until the anthesis stage under the cutting regimes and that it has a potentiality to provide one of a good forage sources. %'ifqqiZ 43q *(College of Agriculture, Chungnam National Un~versity, Taejon 305-764, Korea)

  • A series of experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of rhizobacteria containing 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase for growth promotion of peas under drought conditions. Ten rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of different crops (peas, wheat, and maize) were screened for their growth promoting ability in peas under axenic condition. Three rhizobacterial isolates, Pseudomonas fluorescens biotype G (ACC-5), P. fluorescens (ACC-14), and P. putida biotype A (Q-7), were selected for pot trial on the basis of their source, ACC deaminase activity, root colonization, and growth promoting activity under axenic conditions. Inoculated and uninoculated (control) seeds of pea cultivar 2000 were sown in pots (4 seeds/pot) at different soil moisture levels (25, 50, 75, and 100% of field capacity). Results revealed that decreasing the soil moisture levels from 100 to 25% of field capacity significantly decreased the growth of peas. However, inoculation of peas with rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase significantly decreased the "drought stress imposed effects" on growth of peas, although with variable efficacy at different moisture levels. At the lowest soil moisture level (25% field capacity), rhizobacterial isolate Pseudomonas fluorescens biotype G (ACC-5) was found to be more promising compared with the other isolates, as it caused maximum increases in fresh weight, dry weight, root length, shoot length, number of leaves per plant, and water use efficiency on fresh and dry weight basis (45, 150, 92, 45, 140, 46, and 147%, respectively) compared with respective uninoculated controls. It is highly likely that rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase might have decreased the drought-stress induced ethylene in inoculated plants, which resulted in better growth of plants even at low moisture levels. Therefore, inoculation with rhizobacteria containing ACC deaminase could be helpful in eliminating the inhibitory effects of drought stress on the growth of peas.

  • In performance, digestibility and slaughter trials, a total of forty five male weaned lambs were used to examine the effects of monensin and live yeast supplementations on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics and ruminal fermentation parameters when the lambs were fed steam-flaked corn-based diets. Animals were allotted to one of three treatment diets in a completely randomized design. The three treatment diets were: (1) basal diet (CON) with steam-flaked corn as a sole grain source, (2) basal diet supplemented with monensin (MO), and (3) basal diet supplemented with live yeast (LY). Total average daily intake (ADI) was unaffected by MO and LY supplementations. LY supplementation increased (p<0.05) average daily gain (ADG) by 13.1% compared with the CON diet. Both MO and LY supplementations resulted in a significant improvement (p<0.05) of feed efficiency over the CON diet (4.47, 4.68 vs. 5.05). Hemicellulose digestibility was higher (p<0.05) for lambs in the LY supplementation group (62.4%) as compared with the CON group (55.7%), but no differences were observed in digestibilities of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF). All carcass traits were not influenced by dietary supplementations. Ruminal pH in lambs fed the LY supplemental diet was more stable than that with the CON diet (6.57 vs. 6.17). Neither MO nor LY supplementation influenced the concentration of ruminal ammonia-N and total volatile fatty acid (VFA), and molar percentages of individual VFA. Plasma urea-N concentration was decreased (p<0.05) by MO and LY supplementations, while plasma ${\beta}$-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), glucose and other blood parameters were unaffected. In conclusion, while both MO and LY supplementations had a positive impact on feed efficiency and LY supplementation stabilized ruminal pH and improved fiber utilization, none of the supplements had the capacity to significantly enhance the carcass characteristics.

  • This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and amino acid (AA) digestibility of sunflower seed meal (SFSM) and to use this data to develop prediction equations for estimating AA digestibility for growing pigs. Ten SFSM were collected from five provinces in China. Twelve barrows ($38.8{\pm}4.6kg$), fitted with ileal T-cannula were allotted into two $6{\times}6$ Latin square designs. Each of six experimental periods comprised a 5-d adaption period followed by a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. The ten test diets contained 50% SFSM as the sole source of AA. Another nitrogen-free diet was used to measure the basal endogenous losses of crude protein (CP) and AA. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as an inert marker in each diet. There was considerable variation (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM in chemical composition (dry matter [DM]). The concentration of CP and ether extract (EE) ranged from 29.33% to 39.09% and 0.88% to 11.33%, respectively. Crude fibre (CF), neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre ranged from 21.46% to 36.42%, 38.15% to 55.40%, and 24.59% to 37.34%, respectively. There was variation among the ten SFSM in apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) for lysine and threonine, which ranged from 63.16 to 79.21 and 55.19% to 72.04% for AID and 67.03% to 82.07% and 61.97% to 77.01% for SID, respectively. The variation in CP and methionine ranged from 60.13% to 74.72% and 74.79% to 88.60% for AID and 66.70% to 79.31% and 77.16% to 90.27% for SID, respectively. Methionine was a good indicator to predict AA digestibility. These results indicate that conventional chemical composition of SFSM was variable (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM (DM). The results of AID, SID and prediction equations could be used to evaluate the digestibility of SFSM in growing pigs.
