본 연구는 최근 신소재 단열재로 주목받고 있는 실리카 에어로겔을 이용하여 현재 사용되고 있는 다겹보온커튼의 단점을 보완하고 보온성을 유지 및 향상시킬 수 있는 새로운 조합의 다겹보온커튼을 제작 하여 현장에 설치함으로써 보온성과 경제성을 분석하고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 다겹보온커튼은 실리카 에어로겔이 함유된 부직포를 사용하여 2가지의 조합으로 제작하였으며 시중에 판매, 사용되고 있는 관행 다겹보온 커튼과의 차이에 따른 온습도변화와 연료소비량을 측정하여 비교분석하였다. 실험결과 단동온실과 연동온실에서 다겹보온커튼 차이에 따른 온습도변화는 미세하게 나타났으나, 거의 비슷한 온습도 값을 유지하였다. 이는 실리카 에어로겔을 이용한 다겹보 온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 온습도 제어 측면에서 문제가 없음을 나타냈다. 난방에너지 비교분석 결과, 실리카 에어로겔을 이용한 다겹보온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 연료소비량은 단동온실에서 약 15%, 연동온실에서 약 20% 의 연료소비량을 절감한 것으로 나타나 온실의 규모와 사용기 간이 증가함에 따라 난방에너지는 절감될 것으로 판단된다. 실리카 에어로겔 이용 다겹보온커튼이 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 통기성과 보온성이 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 그러나, 연동온실에서 사용된 다겹보온커튼은 관행 다겹보온커튼에 비해 무게가 증가하고 뻣뻣하여 시공성과 작동성이 떨어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이에 단동온실에서 사용된 다겹보온 커튼에서는 개선사항을 적용하였다. 내부단열재의 교체를 통해 두께를 감소시키고 뻣뻣함을 개선함으로써 농가가 사용하 기에 충분한 가능성이 있다는 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest structural model and analyze design factors for the development of small greenhouse standardization model. The average dimensions of small greenhouse desired by urban farmers were 3.3m in width, 1.9m in eaves height, 2.7m in ridge height, 5.7m in length. The cladding materials for small greenhouse were preferred to glass, PC board and plastic film, framework to aluminum alloy and steel, and heating method in electrical energy. In addition, it was analyzed that small greenhouses need to develop structural model by dividing them into entry-level type and high-level type. The roof type that was used for entry-level type was arch shape, framework was steel pipe, cladding material was plastic film. On the other hand, high-level type was used in even span or dutch light type, framework with square hollow steel, cladding materials with glass or PC board. In consideration of these findings and practicality, this study developed four types of small greenhouses. The width, eaves height, ridges height, and length of the small greenhouses of even span type, which were covered with 5mm thick glass and 6mm thick PC board were 3m, 2.2m, 2.9m, and 6m, respectively. The small greenhouse of dutch light type covered with 5mm thick glass was designed with 3.8m in with, 2.2m in eaves height, 2.9m in ridges height, and 6m in length. The width, eaves height, ridges height, and length of the arch shape small greenhouse covered with a 0.15mm PO film were 3m, 1.5m, 2.8m, and 6m, respectively.

The multi-layer insulating curtains used in the experiment was produced in six combinations using non-woven fabric containing aerogel and compared and analyzed by measuring heat flux and heat perfusion rates due to weight, thickness and temperature changes. Using silica aerogel, which have recently been noted as new material insulation, this study tries to produce a new combination of multi-layer insulating curtains that can complement the shortcomings of the multi-layer insulating curtains currently in use and maintain and improve its warmth, and analyze the thermal properties. The heat flux means the amount of heat passing per unit time per unit area, and the higher the value, the more heat passing through the multi-layer insulating curtain, and it can be judged that the heat retention is low. The weight and thickness of multi-layer insulation curtains were found to be highly correlated with thermal insulation. In particular, insulation curtains combined with aerogel meltblown non-woven fabric had relatively higher thermal insulation than insulation curtains with the same number of insulation materials. However, the aerogel meltblown non-woven fabric is weak in light resistance and durability, and there is a problem that the production process and aerogel are scattering. In order to solve this problems, the combination of expanded aerogel non-woven fabric and hollow fiber non-woven fabric, which are relatively simple manufacturing processes and excellent warmth, are suitable for use in real farms.

사료이용 측면에서 유지 및 성장에 필요한 섭취량과 체내에 이용되지 않은 섭취량으로 구분할 수 있 으며, 체내에 이용되지 않은 섭취량을 잔류사료섭취량(Residual Feed Intake; RFI)이라 한다. 본 실험 은 국내 종돈의 RFI 유전모수를 추정하기 위해 2001년부터 2014년까지 태어난 Duroc종 8,696두의 검 정자료를 활용하였다. 일당증체량과 RFI의 육종가 상관관계는 -0.2로 음의 상관으로 조사되었는데 (P>0.01), RFI를 낮추면 일당증체량 개량에도 긍정적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 것으로 사료된다. 회귀추정 방식에 따른 RFI1(일당증체량)과 RFI2(일당증체량, 등지방두께)의 유전력은 각각 0.37, 0.45로 고도의 유전력을 나타내었다. 향후 국내에서도 개체단위 사료섭취량 측정으로 추정된 RFI를 개량에 활용한다면 농가 수익 개선에 많은 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the antioxidant properties resulting from high-pressure homogenization of wheat bran. For this purpose, the researcher compared the radicals clearance of DPPH and ABTS, the ferrousion chelating effects, and the contents of the surface-reactive phenol compounds. In the course of this study, it was possible to reduce the particle size of the wheat bran effectively by means of high-pressure homogenization. This also resulted in structural changes, such as changes in the cellular structure of wheat bran, dissipating the cellulose matrix. It was found that this process, in turn, caused the phenol compounds which were entrapped inside the cellulose matrix or bound by polysaccharides to be released, affecting the antioxidation. As the intensity of high-pressure homogenization process increased, the radical clearance of DPPH and ABTS, as well as the surface reactive phenol compound, increased in return, while the ferrous-ion chelating effect decreased without any statistical significance, however (p > 0.05). Therefore, it would be safe to conclude that high-pressure homogenization could be an effective solution to increasing the antioxidant properties of wheat bran, which, in turn, could be used as a functional material (a natural antioxidant) in food industries

Trap-neuter-return (TNR), also known as trap-test-vaccinate-alter-release (TTVAR), is a method of humanely trapping unaltered feral cats, spaying or neutering them, and returning them to the location where they were collected. TNR is promoted by the some regional province governments as a humane and more effective alternative to euthanasia for managing and reducing feral cat populations. We are aimed to conduct the survey research to evaluate the recognition of status about TNR. We deals with the findings obtained from extensive interviews with a representative sample of 301 persons. The objectives of interviews included 20~50 year-old ages lived in Incheon, Goyang, Seosan, Iksan and Nonsan city. Questions focused on how people were recognized the need and policies of TNR. Questionnaire and technical data are analysed and summarized. As the results of the survey research, the objectives of interviews had poorly understood about the policies of TNR. Conclusionally, the promotions of TNR policies were need. The development of TNR policies were desirable for the establishment of animal welfare.

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of semen extenders on the sperm motility, viability, acrosome integrity and functional integrity of plasma membrane (HOST: hypo-osmotic swelling test) during liquid preservation of Korean Native boar semen. In this experiment, semen was diluted in Androhep plus, Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS), ModenaTM, Seminark and Vitasem LD. Sperm-rich fractions were collected from three Korean Native boars and sub-samples were diluted (30×106 spermatozoa/ml) in different semen extenders. Semen samples were stored at 17℃ for 96 hours. On everyday (0, 24, 48, 72, 96 h) after storage, the sperm characteristics relevant for fertility, such as sperm motility, viability, acrosome integrity and HOST positive were evaluated. The motility of spermatozoa stored in different extenders was no significantly different among other extenders (P>0.05). Also, no difference was observed among samples processed with different extenders in the percentage of sperm viability, acrosome integrity and HOST positive. All extenders maintained a high percentage (70%) of sperm motility, viability and acrosome integrity through 96 h of storage. The result of this study show that there was no significant differences among extenders in their capacity to preserve motility, viability and membrane integrity of spermatozoa from normal, fertile Korean Native boars for 96 h of liquid preservation at 17℃.

Ornithine deacetylase (argE) gene as a negative selection marker gene was successfully co-transformed with SOD-APX or NDPK2 as a target gene to develop marker free transgenic rice. E.coli argE gene encodes an enzyme which activates N-acetyl phosphinothricin (N-AcPt) through deacetylation. The enzyme was reported that deacetylate N-AcPt, a non cyto-toxic compounds, to produce cyto-toxic PPT. So the argE gene can be used as a negative selection marker and N-AcPt can be used as a substrate of argE gene. Using former purification method (Kriete G., et al., 1996) was very expensive because the small amount of N-AcPt produced by the method. We developed a strategy to produce N-AcPt by means of chemical method. N-AcPt function was identified using hygromycin resistant T1 seeds on MS basal medium contained N-AcPt prior to utilization of argE gene as a negative selection marker in marker free transgenic rice. Negative selection effects were performed with T1 seeds containing argE gene under N-AcPt. This system provides a efficient negative selection effect from transgenic rice and that will be efficiently used for the production of marker gene free rice plants.
