An experiment was planned to investigate the effect of early weaned calves on their growth performance. Twelve newly born Sahiwal male calves were employed for this study. These calves were divided into four groups (A, B, C, D); three animals in each group. Calves weaned at 13 weeks (A), a traditional method of calf rearing in Pakistan, received whole milk throughout the experimental period of 90 days while calves weaned at 8 (B), 6 (C) and 4 (D) weeks received the starter ration to compensate the reduced milk allowance. Weight gain of calves of all groups remained unaffected statistically. However, the average daily body weight gains of calves weaned at 6 (300 grams) and 8 (377 grams) weeks of age were similar to those weaned at 13 (368 grams) weeks of age. The results of this study suggest that calf weaning could successfully be obtained at 6 weeks of age with the abundant provision of palatable and nutritious starter ration.

A study was conducted to assess the influence of copper on the total sulphur amino acid requirements of broiler chickens reared under two growing periods. The TSAA levels used were 0.73, 0.83, 0.93% with copper levels of 0, 125, 250 and 375 mg/kg for the starter period and the TSAA levels of 0.72, 0.79 and 0.86% with copper levels of 0, 125, 250 and 375 mg/kg for the grower period. Total feed consumption, body weight gain and feed L gain ratio were used as the parameters for the assessment. The results showed that adding copper at 250 mg/kg to the diets improved feed : gain ratio of the starter broilers and resulted in small improvement of body weight gain and feed : gain ratio of the grower broilers. Growth was depressed in relation to the reduction of feed intake on the chicks fed diet containing 375 mg/kg copper. There was a significant interaction between dietary TSAA and copper levels for feed intake, hence, indicating that the supplementation of copper at the level of 375 mg/kg increased the TSAA requirement of the starter broilers, although no interference with the requirement of grower broilers.

This study was to review recent reports in effects of various starter cultures on the viscosity in stirred yogurt. The rheological properties of yogurt have received considerable attention in the literature. Most yogurts are typically made by mixed cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The viscosity of yogurt made by mixed cultures was much higher than that of yogurt by single cultures. Since texture of stirred yogurt is the result of both acid aggregation of casein micelles and production of exopoly-saccharides, it is suggested that yogurt be made by the exopolysaccharide-producing cultures in order to increase viscosity, Both types of exopolysaccharides are capsule and loose slime(ropy). But it is desirable to use encapsulated nonropy strains. And Bifidobacteria affects adversely to the viscosity of yogurt. Therefore, starter cultures which have an effect on yogurt viscosity have been widely demonstrated. This review is the search for the development of viscosity in stirred yogurt.

Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus casei were successfully isolated from indigenous Indonesian fresh milk based on the general morphological and biochemical classification as described in Bergey's manual. Verification was conducted by sequencing of 16S rRNA after selection using the classification method mentioned in the manual. All isolates exhibited antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in the well diffusion test. The susceptibilities of the isolated S. thermophilus 24/S1 and L. delbrueckii 94/L4 against 22 different antibiotics were determined by the disc diffusion method and variable susceptibility patterns were observed. Both isolates were susceptible to amoxicillin, the most commonly prescribed antibiotic, and resistant to sulfonamide. The presence of a plasmid was not detected after extraction. S. thermophilus 24/S1 and L. delbrueckii 94/L4 starter cultures were prepared for yogurt production after 9.5 h of incubation and the yogurt was evaluated for its flavor and quality by 30 volunteers. A score of $4.93{\pm}0.45$ out of 7 was obtained as compared to the yogurt prepared using commercial starter cultures which yielded a score of $4.76{\pm}0.30$ out of 7.

Studies on the effects of protein levels on the total sulphur amino acid (TSAA) requirements of chickens were conducted on the starter broilers by feeding four levels of crude protein(16, 18, 20 and 23%) at three levels of TSAA (0.83, 0.93 and 1.03%) and on the grower broilers by feeding three levels of crude protein (16, 18 and 20%) at three levels of TSAA(0.72, 0.79 and 0.86%). The metabolisable energy of the diets was maintained constant at 3,200 kcal/kg and the experiments were carried out for two growing periods: starter (0-3 wk) and grower (3-6 wk). The results showed that there were significant differences in body weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio under different protein levels of the starters. Crude protein, ME and TSAA intake were significantly affected by increasing the CP levels. The TSAA requirement of the starter broilers is recommended at 0.93% and it is not influenced by different protein levels used in the experiment. For the grower period, body weight gain and feed:gain ratio improved significantly at higher protein diets. Birds fed higher protein diet consumed greater quantities of protein. Responses to TSAA supplementation for body weight gain, feed intake and feed:gain ratio were not significant. The present results showed that the TSAA level of 0.79 to 0.86% was required for grower diets and that the protein levels of the diet did not influence the TSAA requirement.

The development and evaluation of solid propellant were performed for the turbopump pyro starter, which start up the liquid propellant rocket engine for the Space Launch Vehicle (SLV). Requirements for the turbopump pyro starter propellant include the production of low flame temperature, low burning rate and nontoxic gas to protect the mechanical corrosion or air pollution. This study describes the development of the solid propellant composition which is based on PCP binder. DHG (Dihydroxy glyoxime), which has advantages of oxygen balance and ignition, was used as coolant. The mechanical properties and burning rate of the propellants were measured. Finally, static fired test was performed to prove the possibility of development.

This paper describes an analysis method based on the experimental parameter for the 0.9kW starter motor of vehicle with permanent magnet and pole core, and analyzed the influence by the effect of pole core of starting motor by using the 2D-FEM analysis technique to reflect the structural characteristic of 3D. A starter motor consists mainly of armature, yoke and permanent magnet with the pole core. Additionally, there is different the axial length of each part. Therefore, the effective of analysis method is needed to improve the characteristic of it. This paper approached the 2D-FEM analysis estimated by the 3D-EMCN(Three Dimensional Equivalent Magnetic Circuit Network) instead of the 3D-FEM analysis to minimize parameters. As a result, this paper is proposed the validity of 2D-FEM analysis and obtained reasonable results for improving a performance.

For an extension of the palatable stage in Kimchi which was limited by further lowering pH as the fermentation proceeds, the starter culture of bacteriocin-producing Enterococcus faecium DU 0267 obtained from Kimchi was added at the preparation time, and pH, bacteriocin activity, growth of lactic acid bacterial group and gas production in Kimchi were examined during the fermentation at 10, 20 and 30$\circ$C . The pH of Kimchi fell rapidly to 4.0~4.2 in the early fermentation stage, and then, has gone down very slowly throughout further fermentation. The lactic acid bacte- ria, particularly lactobacilli and leuconostoc, were remarkably slower in its growth than those in the control. Although the patterns of these change during fermentation at different temperatures were similar, these effects by the addition of starter were enhanced at 10 and 20$\circ$C. The bacteriocin activity was increased rapidly during log phase of the bacteriocin producer strain in the early fermentation stage of Kimchi and reached their maximum after fermentation at 10$\circC, for 8 days and at 20 or 30$\circ$C for 2 days. Thereafter, the activity disappeared quickly. The gas production by fermentation was also suppressed considerably, and their volume produced after fermentation at 20$\circ$C for 14 days corresponded to 60% of those of the control.
