The objective of this study was to investigate the interrelationship of weight and hormonal changes through the administration of vitamin A to first time pregnant heifers. A total of 28 Korean heifers was used for this study. The heifers were divided into two groups - with vitamin A (n=14) and without vitamin A (control) (n=14) in the feed. Body weight increased in vitamin A treated heifers starting 9 months until 15 months. After pregnancy, vitamin A treated heifers were found to maintain higher body weights than the control group. Pre-pregnancy and post pregnancy progesterone levels were not different between the two groups. Serum estradiol levels of heifers at different growth stages showed relatively higher E2 levels than the control. Also, the control during pregnancy may show higher serum E2 levels than the vitamin A treated heifers. The growth phase serum estradiol levels in heifers may be relatively higher than the control. During pregnancy it showed a similar trend. Serum levels of vitamin A treated heifers did not differ from pregnant heifers at 5 months of age. However, after 5 months from conception until 8 months of treatment it showed a high level. Serum cholesterol in pregnant cows was higher in the control group than the treatment from beginning until the end of pregnancy. This is considered to be related to fetus development during pregnancy, as well as the mother's health.

양서류는 습지생태계의 건강성을 평가할 수 있는 효과적 인 지표생물이다. 양서류는 육상과 수중 서식지 모두를 이 용하며, 습도와 온도, 오염물질에 민감하여 환경변화에 적 응력이 약하다. 안정적인 양서류 개체군의 존재는 건강한 생태계의 균형 유지를 위하여 중요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 세계의 양서류는 서식지 훼손, 환경오염, 질병, 외래종 침입, 기후 변화에 의해 위협 받고 있으며 전세계 양서류의 1/3이 멸종 위기에 직면해 있다. 양서류의 음향 신호는 번식활동 에 매우 중요하다. 양서류의 call은 암컷 유인, 수컷과의 경 쟁, 동종의 인식에 주로 사용된다. 기존 연구에 의하면 일부 암컷개구리는 경험 많은 수컷개구리의 저음에 더 매력을 느끼며 개구리의 울음은 몸 크기와 주파수 사이에 반비례 한다는 보고가 있었다. 기존 연구에서 청개구리의 생체량과 울음특성에 관한 연구들은 주로 생체량의 기준을 주둥이부 터 꼬리까지의 길이를 기준으로 한 SVL(Snout-vent-lengt h)지표를 이용하였다. 그러나 실제 개구리의 몸무게와 울음 특성과의 관계를 밝힌 연구는 미흡하며 국내에서는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 청개구리의 번식기 울음과 몸무게를 측정하여 상호관계를 밝히고자 하였다. 연구대상지는 강원도 원주시 우산동 636번지로 계곡부 논 경작지이다. 생체량에 따른 울음 분석은 일몰 직후인 19 시 30분 이후 개구리의 울음을 녹음한 후 BT 233S(오차범 위 0.001g)로 무게를 측정하였으며, Cool edit pro(version 2.1)를 이용하여 sonagram을 분석했다. 청개구리 울음 및 몸무게 조사기간은 2014년 6월 2일, 16일, 17일이었으며 측정 개체수는 35개체이었다. 울음 일주기는 2014년 5월 17일부터 6월 24일까지 12일간 24시간 개구리 울음을 녹음 하고 울음 시작시간과 종료시간을 분석하였다. 통계분석은 IBM SPSS Statistics(version 21) 프로그램을 이용하였다. 청개구리 무게는 1.469g에서 3.959g으로 평균 2.66g이었 다. 울음지속시간(Duration)은 최저 0.0065초에서 최고 0.0 139초였고, 평균 0.088초이었다. 울음횟수(Number of call s)는 최저 12번에서 최고 26번, 평균 18번이었다. 첫 번째 주요 주파수(First Frequency)는 최저 1,181.1Hz에서 최고 1,834.9Hz, 평균 1,484.0Hz이었다. 두 번째 주요 주파수(Do minance Frequency)는 최저 2,386.5Hz에서 최고 3,611.7H z, 평균 2,979.0Hz이었다. 생체량과 울음 특성간 분산분석 결과 울음지속시간, 울음개수, 첫 번째 주요 주파수, 두 번째 주요 주파수에서 고도의 유의성이 인정되었다(p < 0.01). 청개구리 울음 시작시작은 19시 51분에서 20시 11분, 평균 19시 49분이었다. 울음 종료시간은 02시 00분에서 03시 56 분, 평균 02시 47분이었다. 하루 중 울음 지속시간은 353분 에서 485분, 평균 397분이었다. 청개구리의 울음시작시간 과 일몰시간, 월출시간 3가지 항목에 대한 분산분석 결과 청개구리 울음시작 시간은 일몰시간과 고도의 상관관계가 인정되었다(p < 0.01). 청개구리 생체량에 따른 울음 분석 결과 몸무게가 무거울수록 울음횟수가 많아지고 울음지속 시간이 길어지며, 저음을 내는 것으로 확인되었다. 울음 일 주기는 일몰시간에 따라 울음 시작 시간도 순차적으로 늦어 지는 것으로 나타났다.

New precursors, poly(acrylonitrile-co-crotonic acid) (poly(AN-CA)) and poly(acrylonitrile-co-itaconic acid-co-crotonic acid) (poly(AN-IA-CA)) copolymers, for the preparation of carbon fibers, were explored in this study. The effects of comonomers with acidic groups, such as crotonic acid (CA) and/or itaconic acid (IA), on the stabilization of nanofibrous polyacrylonitrile (PAN) copolymers were studied. The extent of stabilization, evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, revealed that the CA comonomer could retard/control the stabilization rate of PAN, in contrast to the IA comonomer, which accelerated the stabilization process. Moreover, the synthesized PAN copolymers containing CA possessed higher Mv than those of the IA copolymers and also showed outstanding dimension stability of nanofibers during the stabilization, which may be a useful property for improving the dimensional stability of polymer composites during manufacturing.

Recently, sewer–pipe constructions replacing deteriorated pipes are currently underway in the downtown area. To resolve many problems in the conventional method of open-cut construction, lining-board system using light-weight GFRP panels is developed. The pultruded GFRP panels can be successfully used for the developed lining-board system as temporary decks and retaining walls in virtue of light weight, high strength and high durability. In this paper, the structural safety and serviceability of the lining-board system are examined through FE analyses and experiments. Further more, a field application of the lining-board system is presented. The field application shows that quality and environment of construction can be significantly improved.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate to the practicing engineers, how to apply the advanced composite materials theory to the road structures. For general construction material used, there is certain theoretical limit in sizes. For super road structure construction, the reduction in panel weight is the first step to take in order to break such size limits. METHODS: For a typical road structures panel, both concrete and advanced composite sandwich panels are considered. The concrete panel is treated as a special orthotropic plate. RESULTS: All types of advanced composite sandwich panels are considered as a self-weights less than one tenth of that of concrete panel. The concrete panel is treated as a special orthotropic plate to obtain more accurate result. CONCLUSIONS: Advanced composite sandwich panels are considered as a self-weights less than one tenth (10%) of that of concrete panel, with deflections less than that of the concrete panel. This conclusion gives good guide line for design of the light weight of road structures.

The purpose of this study is to look into the weight-lightening phenomenon of the roof structure of some Hanok(韓屋), the Korean traditional houses found from the survey on the distribution and actual state of urban traditional houses existing in the whole region of Jung-gu, Daegu, Korea. As a result of judging from the pre-test of building registers for the research area, approximately 5,000 wood structure houses were found. A field data survey based on these findings showed that there are 1,752 Hanok houses. And the further classification of the Korean traditional houses by roof structure type shows that about 35% of them underwent weight lightening. While this kind of light-weight Hanok is different from the concept of traditional Hanok, they also show the survival method of Hanok that reflects the economical and technological phases of that period. It is expected that deeper understanding on the urban traditional houses will be possible through carrying out in-depth researches on techniques of the light-weight roof structure of the urban traditional houses that are supposed to have functioned as dwellings as commercial products.

2012년 4월부터 10월까지 국립공원 4개 지점에서 참갈겨니 개체군 특징을 조사하였다. 각 조사지역에서 전장과 체중의 범위는 47~160 mm와 0.50~41.50 g이었다. 전장-체중 상관관계에서 매개변수 b값의 범위는 2.883~3.497로 나타나 서식환경은 비교적 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 비대지수 (K)의 범위는 0.689~1.012이었고, 기울기는 0.0009~0.0024의 범위로 모두 양의 값을 보였다. 참갈겨니 개체군과 동서어종과의 관계에서 매개변수 b값은 종수와 개체수에 반비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 국립공원에 서식하는 참갈겨니 개체군은 동서어종, 수온, 계절변화, 조사지점의 변화 같은 다양한 요인에 의해 b값과 비대지수에 차이를 보이는 것으로 추측된다.

Length-weight relationships were estimated for 11 fish species caught in Baekya Island, Korea. Samples were caught in depths of＜15 m by fish pots between November 2008 and July 2009. The sampling gear, fish pots, is a widely used as commercial fishing gear in shallow waters of the region. The most abundant families were Hexagrammidae (20.7%), Cottidae (18.5%), Tetraodontidae (14.8%) and Scorpaenidae (13.3%). Estimates for parameter b of the length-weight relationship (W=aLb) ranged between 2.454 and 3.361.

본 연구는 Sprague-Dawley 흰쥐 16마리를 이용하여 흰쥐 복강 및 피하지방 감소 후보 항체가 체중, in vivo 타장기 안전성 및 혈액성상 등 영양생리대사에 미치는 영향을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 무처리구(control), 비면역항체 처리구(NAb), 면양을 이용하여 기 개발된 흰쥐 복강(AAb) 및 피하지방 감소 후보항체(SAb)를 복강 주사하였을 때 주사 후 1주차에 SAb 처리구에서 사료 및 물 섭취량의 일시적인 감소가 나타났으나 그 이후에는 정상적으로 회복되는 것으로 보아 항체의 효과보다는 개체 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 흰쥐 체중의 경우 항체 주사 처리 전․후 및 실험구 간 통계적인 유의차는 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). SAb 처리구에서 나타난 주사 처리 후 1-2주 동안 일시적인 체중 감소 현상이 발생했으나, 통계적 유의성은 없었다(p>0.05). 후보 항체 주사 시 흰쥐 AAb 처리구는 control과 비교해서 생체 신장의 무게가 유의적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 하지만, NAb 처리구의 신장 무게 역시 유의적인 감소를 보여(p<0.05) 결국 AAb 처리구의 신장 무게 감소는 주사에 의한 스트레스 또는 개체 간의 변이 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 신장을 제외하고는 후보 항체에 의한 주요 장기들(심장, 간장, 폐 및 비장)의 무게에는 실험구 간 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 후보 항체에 의해 혈중 glucose, triglyceride 및 total cholesterol 농도에는 실험구 간 유의적인 변화가 나타나지 않았으며(p>0.05), 각 혈액대사물질의 농도는 일반적인 수준으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때, 본 연구에서 이용된 흰쥐AAb 및 SAb는 in vivo 영양생리대사에 부정적 영향을 미치지 않는 안전한 항체로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 뽕잎차와 Monascus pilosus로 발효시킨 뽕잎차가 ICR mouse의 체중과 간 조직 항산화계 효소류의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 정상대조군(NC), 고지방식이 대조군(HC), 뽕잎차 분말을 2% 혼합한 고지방 식이군(UM), 발효 뽕잎차 분말을 2% 혼합한 고지방 식이군(FM)으로 나누어 8주간 사육하였다. 체중증가량에 있어서는 HC군의 주당 체중증가량은 NC군에 비해 2.13배로 높았으나, UM군과 FM군은 NC군의 1.80 및 1.67배로 체중증가량이 크게 완화되었다. 장기 중량은 고지방 식이군에서 증가되었던 간의 중량은 UM과 FM군에서 회복되는 경향을 보였으며, 신장의 경우에도 NC군 수준으로 회복되는 경향을 나타내었다. 부고환 주변 지방의 함량은 UM과 FM군의 경우 모두 고지방식이로 현저하게 증가된 지방함량을 유의적으로 감소시켰으며, 그 효과는 FM군에서 현저하였다. ALT 활성은 HC군이 NC군에 비하여 2.56배나 높은 수치를 나타내었으며, UM군과 HC 간의 유의차는 보이지 않으나 FM군은 HC군에 비하여 유의적으로 낮았다. TG, TC, LDL-cholesterol의 함량 및 동맥경화지수(AI)는 HC군은 NC군에 비하여 각각 18.42%, 39.59%, 212.56% 및 230.70%가 증가하였으며, HDLcholesterol 함량은 17.84%가 감소하였다. UM군의 TG, TC, HDL- 및 LDL-cholesterol 함량은 HC군과 유의적인 차이가 없으나, FM군에서는 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, 동맥경화지수도 HC군 2.63, UM군 2.09, FM군 1.70으로 FM군에서 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 간 조직 TG 함량은 UM 및 FM군이 HC군에 비하여 25.18∼25.72%가 감소되었으며, 총 콜레스테롤의 함량에서도 TG와 유사한 경향을 보였다. Glutathione(GSH)의 함량은 FM군이 UM군에 비하여 유의적으로 증가하였으며, lipid peroxide(LPO)의 함량은 UM군과 FM군은 HC군에 비하여 각각 49.82% 및 44.52% 감소하였다. Xanthine oxidase(XO) 활성은 UM군과 FM군에서는 HC군에 비하여 각각 38.41% 및 53.62%가 감소하였다. SOD 활성은 UM과 FM군 모두 NC군과 유사한 활성을 나타내었다. Glutathione S-transferase(GST)활성은 UM군과 FM군은 고지방 식이에 의해 감소된 HC군의 활성을 14.81∼23.46% 증가시켰다. Glutathione peroxidase(GPX) 활성(NADPH nmole/min/mg protein)은 고지방 식이 대조군인 HC군에서의 활성은 NC군의 65.59%에 불과하였으나, UM군과 FM군은 HC군에 비하여 각각 22.95% 및 38.52% 증가하였다. 간 조직을 검경한 결과, 고지방 식이 대조군인 HF군에서는 간 조직 세포가 지방 방울의 축적에 의해 확장되어 간굴모세혈관(hepatic sinusoids)이 폐쇄된 상태였다. 하지만, UM군과 FM군에서는 중심정맥 주위의 세포들이 정상적으로 잘 보존되어 있으며, 간 소엽의 간세포삭과 간 조직 세포 내에 지방방울의 축적이 보이긴 하나 구분이 가능하며, UM군에 비하여 FM군 쪽의 간 손상이 보다 경미한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 실험결과, M. pilosus로 발효시킨 뽕잎차는 정상식 이군에서는 간 조직 손상과 관련된 LPO의 함량을 경감시키는 효과와 함께 경미한 체중 감소 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, 고지방 식이에 의한 비정상 생리 상태에서는 비만 해소와 ROS 생성계효소의 저해와 소거계 항산화 효소의 활성화를 통한 간 기능 증진과 조직 손상을 예방 또는 경감시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to determine differences in perception of weight management, balanced food intake, knowledge of obesity, and nutrition knowledge in university students. The average weight and height of male subjects were 175.0±5.7cm and 69.1±11.8kg, whereas those of female subjects were 161.7±5.0cm and 51.7±6.9kg, respectively. Average scores for balanced food intake were not significantly different between male and female students. The total number of correct answers for obesity knowledge was not significantly different according to gender, but four responses related with losing weight showed higher perception scores in females compared to males (p〈0.05). The total number of correct answers for nutrition knowledge was not significantly different between males and females. The average BMI of male and female subjects were 22.5±3.44 and 19.7±2.21, respectively, ranged in normality. Self-evaluation of body shape was mostly in the normal or standard range in both males and females, but females showed a higher perception rate of chubby or fat than males. The percentages of interest in weight management was 36.0% in males and 50.8% in females, with higher interest in female subjects (p〈0.01).

This study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary whole-crop barley silage on average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, velvet antler yield and economic efficacy in sika deer during growth. A total of 24 sika deer (initially 56.3 kg BW) of 24 months age were allotted in arrangement in a completely randomized design. The three treatments were: T1(hay diet), T2(whole-crop barley silage), and T3(50% hay+50% whole-crop barley silage). Concentrate feed were 1.5% feeding of body weight with all groups. Average daily weight gain of T3 was higher than those of others for the entire experimental period. Average daily feed intake of sika deer in decreasing order was as follows; T1>T3>T2. The velvet antler yield was highest in T3 group (315±112 g) compared with T1 (276±59 g) and T2 (283±108 g). However, there was no significant difference in average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, velvet antler yield(p>0.05). In economic efficacy, T3 was about 15-29% higher than that of T1 and T2. In conclusion, the mixed feeding of 50% hay and 50% whole-crop barley silage was more effective in average daily feed intake, average daily weight gain, velvet antler yield and economic efficacy in sika deer

A net-assembling company for gill net fishing gears makes a design based on the size of nets provided and determines floats, types of weights, and numbers. In addition, through the accurate examination of net weights in the process of fishing gear designing, it can prevent an excessive use of designing costs. The weight of twine can be easily calculated by its thickness differences, but the weight of netting has errors to be calibrated since the weight of netting is not changing exponentially with the changes of number and size of meshes. This study aims to suggest and empirically analyze the methods for estimating the weights of netting in accordance with the changes of number, size and thickness of meshes for a sound management of netting and net-assembling companies. Results indicated that the method using the knots and legs of netting was not practically usable because the errors were increased as the number of mesh increased. However, the method using netting area shown its usage potentiality with the calibration of the increasing ratio of mesh numbers.

Stevioside, a natural sweeteners presently used in various kinds of food and food products in Korea, was evaluated for its toxicity potential in the 14 day feeding study using B6C3F1 mice. Stevioside was added to the diet at different concentrations of 0.31, 0.62, 1.25, 2.5 and 5%, and was administered for 14 consecutive days. An increase of liver organ weight in male mice was observed. No diet-related differences were noted in clinical signs, food consumption, and gross and histopatholgical evaluation. Based on these results, we concluded that the concentration of 5% in the diet was a suitable maximum tolerable dose of stevioside for a 90 day study in mice.

According to kinetic mechanisms, liquid phase polymerization and solid phase polymerization are different in acrylonitrile (AN) polymerization, and so the relationship between the contribution ratio and molecular weight distribution (MWD) was obtained through theoretic analysis. The precipitation homopolymerization of AN was carried out in a mixture solution of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and water at 50~65℃ using α,α'-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator. The contribution ratio decreased and approached 0; the MWD also decreased and approached 2 with the increase of the H2O/DMSO ratio from 10/90 to 90/10. The experimental data were found to coincide well with the theoretical equation derived from the mechanisms.
