서남극 남쉐틀랜드 군도 킹조지 섬 마리안 소만에서 중력시추기로 얻은 길이 2.3 m의 시추퇴적물은 홀로세 동안 이 지역에서 일어났던 빙해양 퇴적작용의 특성을 보여준다. 층준 115 cm를 기준으로 상부층과 하부층으로 나뉘어진다. 하부층은 조립질 물질이 우세하며 상부는 리드마이트와 괴상(塊狀) 니질(泥質) 층이 우세하다. 상부층에서 우세한 조립물질은 보통 빙하로 운반된 물질과 이미 존재하던 빙퇴석으로 구성되는 바, 세립물질은 융빙수, 빙하,바람으로 공급된 육성기원 쇄설물이 대부분이며 생물기원물질도 상당량 혼재되었다. 세립물질 내에 포함된 조립물질은 유빙운반물질로 해석된다. 깊이 105cm의 아래부분은 질소 총량, 탄소 총량, 유기물 총량이 적은 반면 유황 총량과 탄산칼슘 총량은 많다. 유기물 총량과 질소총량 사이의 비(C/N ratio)는 대체로 큰 변화가 없다. 현재의 마리안소만 동쪽 빙벽은 리드마이트와 빙퇴석의 산출시기를 고려할 때 지금부터 8,300년 전에는 1.6km 서쪽에 위치했던 것으로 보인다. 마리안소만의 퇴적물은 7,970±70년 전 빙벽이 시추심 위치에서 후퇴하면서 세립물질과 유빙운반물질이 우세해졌다.

This study aims to discuss the new piano techniques employed by an American composer Henry Cowell, John Cage, and George Crumb in their piano works along with the analysis of their selected piano compositions. From the first half of the twentieth centuries, contemporary composers have been discovering that the piano is capable of producing a constanthy expanding array of new sonorities. Some of these are produced by the manipulation of the strings by plucking, strumming and muting. Also, the use of tone clusters, and the introduction of foreign objects on the strings of piano, and the use of contact microphones placed on the sounding board. These techniques add a new dimension to the total sonority of the piano. The enlarged spectrum of colors has brought not only novelty to piano music, but also a fundamental change in the concept of piano sound. The origins of some of these non-traditional techniques can be traced historically. American composers have had a significant role in these new developments. Many composers such as Charles Ives, Henry Cowell, and John Cage, George Crumb found that the piano is capable of producing a diversified new sound and unusual timbres. All of these composers, if in varying degrees, manifest a marked experimental strain. They share an interest in exploring new musical terrain and an urge to break free from what they perceivede as the outworn artistic heritage of western cultures, to rejuvenate an old and exhausted tradition with something fresh and youthful.

The present study aimed to examine the effect of dietary Ptecticu tenebrifer powder mixtures as pet dogfeed ingredients on crude fat and ash digestibility. Three groups of feeds Feed A, Feed B, and Feed C supplied from three farms were fed to a total of 45 dogs. The dietary Ptecticu tenebrifer powder mixture were prepared by mixing 25 g of Ptecticu tenebrifer powder with 100 g of canned food. Feed A, Feed B, and Feed C containing dietary Ptecticu tenebrifer powder mixtures were fed to 15 dogs of each breed of bichon, poodle, and chihuahua that were divided into three groups following a completely randomized design. For measuring the crude fat and crude ash digestibility, manure of each dog breed from each group were collected. Crude fat digestibility was not statistically significant among the dog breeds fed with feed C (p>0.05), but overall there was a statistical difference between the feed and the group by dog breed (p<0.05). In terms of crude ash digestibility, the three types of feed showed differences with respect to dog breeds (p<0.05). However, the group with no significant difference was observed in Feed B by dog breed (p>0.05). In conclusion, feeding Ptecticu tenebrifer powder mixture to dog breeds had no positive effect on the crude fat and ash digestibility and can be used as pet dogfeed ingredients.
