As film products are increasingly used in a wide range of areas, from producing traditional flexible packaging to high-tech electronic products, a higher level of quality is demanded. Most film products are made in the form of rolled finished goods, therefore, various quality issues related to their shape characteristics must be addressed. The thickness of the film products is one of the most common and important critical-to-quality attributes (CTQs). Particularly, the degree of thickness uniformity is more important than other thickness parameters, because it will be potential causes of many secondary thickness-related quality problems, such as wrinkles or faulty windings. To control the degree of thickness uniformity, the fixed bending region is oneof the most important CTQs to manage. Fixed bending regions are special points in the transverse direction of a rolled product with consistent minute variations of the thickness gap. This paper describes the measurement and analysis of thickness uniformity data, which were performed in a real manufacturing field of biaxial oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film. In previous researches, quality function deployment (QFD) or fault tree analysis were used to find the most critical process attributes out to controlthe CTQ of thickness uniformity. Whereas, this paper uses traditional control charts to find the most critical process attributes out in this problem. In addition, the selection of one of the major critical process attributes (CTPs) that is expected to affect the CTQ of thickness uniformity is also described. The selected critical-to-process attributes are the controlled temperatures along the transverse direction. A dramatic improvement in thickness uniformity was observed when the selected CTPs were controlled.

The masses of supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN) can be derived spec- troscopically via virial mass estimators based on selected broad optical/ultraviolet emission lines. These estimates commonly use the line width as a proxy for the gas speed and the monochromatic continuum luminosity, λLλ, as a proxy for the radius of the broad line region. However, if the size of the broad line region scales with the bolometric AGN luminosity rather than λLλ, mass estimates based on different emission lines will show a systematic discrepancy which is a function of the color of the AGN continuum. This has actually been observed in mass estimates based on Hα/Hβ and Civ lines, indicating that AGN broad line regions indeed scale with bolometric luminosity. Given that this effect seems to have been overlooked as yet, currently used single-epoch mass estimates are likely to be biased.

A total of 25 strains of Flammulina velutipes were analyzed to identify the genomic regions responsible for producing white-fruiting body. NGS data was yielded by using Illumina Hiseq platform. Short reads were filtered by quality score and read length were mapped on the reference genome (KACC42780). Between the white- and brown fruitbody forming strains, we found 9376 SNPs, of which 8178 were non-polymorphic and 1198 were polymorphic. There is a high possibility that SNPs can be detected among the white strains as homozygous because white phenotype is recessive in F. velutipes. Thus, we constructed SNP matrix within 8 white strains. SNPs discovered between mono3 and mono19, the parental monokaryotic strains of 4120 strain (white), were excluded from the candidate. If the genotypes of SNPs detected between white and brown strains were identical with those in mono3 and mono19 strains, they were included in candidate as a priority. As a result, if more than 5 candidates SNPs were localized in single gene, we regarded as they are possibly related to the white color. In F. velutipes genome, chr08: 950kb-2650kb, chr09: 500kb-1400kb, chr09: 2800kb-4350kb, and chr11: 2450kb-3500kb regions were identified to be associated with white fruitbody forming.

본 연구에서는 우리건, 부강 및 무한질주 세 고추 품종을 대상으로 2011년도와 2012년도 2년간 10개 지역에서 재배, 수확하여 capsaicinoids 함량, 유리당 함량 및 ASTA color value를 분석하여 재배년도별, 지역별 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 재배지역별 우리건, 부강 및 무한질주 고추 품종의 총 capsaicinoids 함량은 각각 52.53~362, 15.35~126.40 및 3.41~50.86 mg/100 g 범위였고, 고추 품종별 평균 총 capsaicinoid 함량은 우리건 ＞; 부강 ＞; 무한질주 순으로 유의적으로(p＜0.05) 높았다. 세 고추 품종의 주요 유리당으로는 fructose와 glucose가 검출되었고, 일부 지역의 우리건 고추에서 sucrose가 소량 검출되었다. 지역별 우리건, 부강 및 무한질주 고추 품종의 총 유리당 함량은 각각 18.29~35.54, 16.91~32.83 및 18.63~33.21%이었고, 품종별 평균 유리당 함량은 재배년도 및 품종에 따른 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 재배지역별 우리건, 부강 및 무한질주 고추 품종의 ASTA color value는 각각 57.17~132.61, 66.23~139.49 및 85.43~133.26 범위였고, 세 품종 모두 2011년도에 비해 2012년도에 재배한 고추의 ASTA color value가 높았다. 이상의 결과로부터 고추의 capsaicinoids 함량 변이는 품종에 의한 영향이, 유리당 함량과 ASTA color value는 환경적 요인에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 판단되며, 추후 고추 육종 및 재배, 고춧가루 가공제품 생산 등의 연구에 기초 결과로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted for SNPs in the 5'-regions of estrogen receptor-α(ESR-α), and association with calving interval (CI), service per conception (SPC) and 305 days milk yield in Hanwoo and Holstein dairy cattle. The genet-ic improvement was incurred low reproduction performance. The objective of this study was to investigate connec-tions between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of Estrogen receptor-α (ESR-α) with reproduction performance (calving interval, service per conception, and 305 d milk yield) in Hanwoo and Holstein dairy cattle. Hanwoo and Holstein blood samples were collected from 183 and 124 dam of breeding farms and DNA was extracted. Primer design was based on NCBI GenBank (Accession No. AY340579). The PCR-RFLP method with Bgl I was used to ge-notype the cattle. The result showed two variants of the ESR-α gene. The Bgl I cut the 492 bp amplification pro- duct into 322 bp and 170 bp fragments for allele G, while allele A remained uncut, resulting in two restriction frag-ments for homozygote G/G and three fragments for heterozygote A/G. We found two of different genotypes in the-se breeds, A/G and G/G. In Hanwoo, the A/G genotype frequency was 0.13, and G/G was 0.87. The CI of A/G was 382.18±10.03 days, and G/G was 381.69±5.22 days. The SPC of A/G was 1.62±0.16, and G/G was 1.32±0.04. While CI showed no significance difference, SPC exhibited significant difference (p<0.05). In Holstein cattle, the frequency of genotype A/G was 0.02 and G/G was 0.98. The 305 days milk yield of A/G was 7,253.00±936.00 kg and of G/G was 8,747.51±204.88 kg, showing no significant difference.

Global climate change has become a major issue which affects the humanity and nature around the world. Caused primarily by human actions of unabated greenhouse gas emission and deforestation, the destructive effects of climate change have become more frequent and intense during the past decades. As climate change is a global problem, addressing its causes and consequences also requires global responses. While climate change is caused by people from various parts of the world, its impacts disproportionately affect people in coastal regions and islands around the world, and marginalized poor communities in developing countries. Everyone in the planet has a role in addressing climate change, but governments, non governmental organizations (NGOs,), and corporations have broader roles and responsibilities. Due to their mission alignments to protect the environment and conserve nature, environmental NGOs play several vital roles in the fightagainst climate change. Environmental NGOs and international NGOs are in a unique position to respond, and to facilitate the involvement of other sectors in mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change. This article discusses some of the roles and responsibilities of NGOs in addressing climate change.

Youth in war ravaged regions often face with scant access to capital generally supplied by traditional banking institutions, which in turn restricts their entrepreneurial activities. Microcredit provides loan access to those excluded from formal financial services. Also, it is widely made available to rural communities in several Asian countries. Hence the main aim of this study is to determine factors influencing youth’s purchase intentions of microcredit in the post-war era, thus implying that findings of this study may be possibly useful to promote microcredit among youth in war affected regions. The Theory of Planned Behaviour has been generally applied to predict purchase intentions, nevertheless we modified this theory to derive hypotheses for this study. The study sample comprised 2500 youth selected from the war affected areas of Sri Lanka. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were employed for data analysis. The results showed that Positive Affect enhanced Purchase Intentions, whereas Perceived Deterrents and Default Risk Perceptions significantly reduced them. Also, Positive Affect reduced Default Risk Perceptions of microcredit, whilst Perceived Deterrents of microcredit increased them. Drawing from these findings, we then recommended how microcredit can be marketed to youth in war affected regions. Keywords: Microcredit, War Affected Youth, Purchase Intentions, Theory of Planned Behaviour, Default Risk Perceptions.

We apply differential affine velocity estimator (DAVE) to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) 12-min line-of-sight magnetograms, and separately cal- culate the injected magnetic helicity for the leading and the following polarities of nine emerging bipolar active regions (ARs). Comparing magnetic helicity ux of the leading polarity with the following polarity, we nd that six ARs studied in this paper have the following polarity that injected more magnetic helicity ux than that of the leading polarity. We also measure the mean area of each polarity in all the nine ARs, and nd that the compact polarity tend to possess more magnetic helicity ux than the fragmented one. Our results conrm the previous studies on asymmetry of magnetic helicity that emerging bipolar ARs have a polarity preference in injecting magnetic helicity. Based on the changes of unsigned magnetic ux, we divide the emergence process into two evolutionary stages: (1) an increasing stage before the peak ux and (2) a constant or decreasing stage after the peak ux. Obvious changes on magnetic helicity ux can be seen during transition from one stage to another. Seven ARs have one or both polarity that changed the sign of magnetic helicity ux. Additionally, the prevailing polarity of the two ARs, which injects more magnetic helicity, changes form the following polarity to the leading one.

One of the major problems in the modern pig industry is infectious disease. Susceptibility to infectious diseases is influenced by both constitutional (e.g. genotype, age, gender, and reproductive status) and environmental factors (e.g. nutrition, management, infections, and other forms of stress). Genetic variations within individual animals or herds can cause differences in the execution of immune functions against infectious agents in domestic pigs. The objectives of the present study were to identify genetic factor(s) responsible for piglet survival and mortality under commercial field conditions with infectious diseases as well as determine QTL regions for immune capacity in a pig reference family. Sex ratio was examined between normal grown and presumed dead groups of F2 animals generated by Korean native pigs (KNP) and Yorkshire (YS) breeds. The ratio of males was significantly higher in the presumed dead group than in the normal grown group. In order to study genetic factors associated with presumed mortality under disease outbreak, allelic frequencies of 239 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were compared between normal grown and presumed dead groups. Exactly 22 SNPs showed significant differences in their allelic frequencies between the two groups, and four of them were validated with another commercial population divided by normal and emaciated pigs. Furthermore, the relationships between 239 SNPs and immune-related traits were studied. These results demonstrate that identification of genetic components of animal immune systems and susceptibility to infectious diseases is possible and will be useful to improve disease resistance in individuals as well as in breeding programs.
