This study was conducted to examine the effect of fermented alcoholic feedstuff (FAF), sustained-release recombinant bovine somatotropin(rBST) on growth performance and body size of Korean native cattle, Hanwoo. The experiment was carried at the Livestock Breeding Station in Kangwon-do with fourteen bulls of two groups, control and treatment. Seven bulls per each group were allocateed. In control group, bulls were treated with total mixed ration(TMR) for the whole experimental periods. In treatment group, bulls were treated with TMR+FAF+rBST for the fattening period and TMR+FAF for the finishing period, respectively. The results are summarized as follows ; Average daily gains(ADG) of control and treatment groups were 0.86 and 1.11kg during the fattening period. ADG of treatment group were 29.1% higher than that of control group. For the whole experimental period, the fattening period and finishing period, ADG in control and treatment groups were 0.69 and 0.79kg, respectively, which shows 14.5% improvement of ADG in treatment group. Dry matter intake(DMI) was higher in treatment group than in control group during the finishing, fattening or whole experimental period. Feed conversion efficiencies in fattening period were 8.65 for control group and 6.93 for treatment group which shows improving 19.9% of feed conversion efficiency for treatment group, while 12.38 for control group and 14.48 for treatment group in finishing period. There were no significant differences between control and treatment group in feed conversion efficiency for the whole experimental period. Overall results indicate that the favorable feeding system to produce growth performance is TMR+FAF+rBST feeding during the fattening period and TMR+FAF feeding in treatment during the finishing period.

This study was performed to examine the effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) and fermented alcoholic feedstuff(FAF) on blood metabolites, carcass characteristics and profitability. Sixteen Hanwoos(bulls; 8, steers; 8) with average 143㎏ of body weight were randomly assigned to bull control group(BC), steer control group(SC), bull group(BrA) treated with rBST and FAF, and steer group(SrA) treated with rBST and FAF. Sustained release rBST(0.03㎎/㎏/body weight) was administered biweekly and dose of rBST was adjusted monthly according to body weight increase. The blood glucose content was higher in the groups treated with rBST and FAF than control groups. The blood cholesterol contents tended to be lower in the treatment groups (BrA, 120.5 mg/dl; SrA, 104.0 mg/dl) than in the control groups (BC, 141.0 mg/dl; SC, 125.5 mg/dl). No significant difference between the groups of bulls and steers were found in the blood triglyceride concentrations as well as the albumin contents. The rib eye area of BC and BrA were 70 and 72 cm2, respectively, which are slightly larger than the area of SC and SrA. The treatment did not affect the backfat thickness both in bulls and steers. The marbling scores of BC and BrA appeared as No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, and No. 3 and No. 4 were obtained in SC and SrA. Lower non saturate fat concentrations were observed in the treatment groups (BrA, 64.30%; SrA, 59.59) than in control groups (BC, 58.98%; SC, 58.09%). Saturated fatty acids and amino acids contents were slightly more improved in the treatment than in the control. Average auction prices of BC and BrA were 7,900 and 8,089 wons per 1kg of carcass, respectively, whereas the prices of SC and SrA were 9407 and 9866 wons per 1kg of carcass, respectively. It is concluded that the treatment with rBST and FAF can improve the growth performance such as marbling scores and rib eye area and increase the auction prices.

DPPH(l, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity assay was used to analyze antioxidant activities in 78 pigmented rice germplasms. Out of 79 varieties taken, 28 varieties showed >70%, 27 varieties showed 61-70% whereas the rest of the varieties showed less than 60% antioxidant activity. In relative total anthocyanin content, Tingga loko( 1.972mg%), Ane bonak(l.965mg%), Pulut mbiring(1.926mg%), and so on were present at concentration given in the descending order, which lies within the range of 0.028 -1.972mg%.

본 연구는 산업부산물인 폐타이어인 #30 체를 거의 다 통과한 CRM 입자를 아스팔트 콘크리트 혼합물의 개질재로서 8%, 10%, 12%를 각각 습식 및 건식방법의 CRM 개질아스팔트 혼합물에 대하여 동결융해에 의한 수분취약성 시험을 통하여 동결융해저항성을 평가하였다. 건식 및 습식방법에 의한 CRM 개질아스팔트 혼합물의 배합설계를 통하여 최적아스팔트 함량을 결정하였고. OAC로 제조한 CRM 개질 혼합물은 반복주행시험과 수분취약성시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, CRM 개질아스팔트 혼합물의 소성변형 저항성은 일반 AP-5 혼합물보다 우수하게 나타났다. 그러나 수분취약성시험에 의한 동결융해 저항성이 상당히 낮게 나타나 동결융해에 의한 수분취약성에 아주 민감한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에, CRM 개질아스팔트 혼합물에 박리저감제의 첨가는 동결융해에 의한 수분취약성에 대한 저항성을 상당히 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 국내에서 CRM 개질아스팔트 혼합물을 사용할 때에는 반드시 수분취약성에 대한 동결융해저항성에 대한 예방책이 제시된 혼합물을 사용될 것이 권장된다.

현재 국내에서도 내진설계에 대한 요구 및 관심이 증가하여 지진해석의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 벽식 아파트는 주거용으로 가장 많이 건설되고 있어 내진설계를 위한 지진해석이 활발히 수행되고 있다. 지진해석을 위해 벽식 아파트 전체를 유한요소로 세분화하여 모형화하는 것은 시간 및 노력에 있어 효율적이지 못하다. 따라서 자유도를 감소시키면서 실제 구조물의 동적 거동을 정확히 표현할 수 있는 등가모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 변형형상과 밀접한 관계가 있는 유효질량계수를 이용하여 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 등가모델 구성방법을 제안하였다. 이 등가모델은 기둥과 보로 구성된 골조구조물을 사용하여 벽식 구조물을 등가의 모델로 치환하였다. 등가모델은 어떤 상용프로그램에서도 쉽게 적용할 수 있으며, 해석시간단축이 가능하여 단시간 다양한 지진에 대한 해석이 필요한 경우 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 또한 등가모델은 바닥슬래브를 모형화 할 수 있어 실제 벽식 아파트의 거동을 잘 표현할 수 있다. 더욱이 등가모델은 구조물의 비대칭성을 표현할 수 있어 매우 우수하다.

The effect of environmental factors on the over-wintering success of the apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata, which is considered as unable to hibernate during winter climate in Korea. This study was examined to determine the location of over-wintering habitats in the agricultural water system related with weed control using the apple snail in rice paddy field in the Yeongnam district from 2003 to 2006. Over-wintering success of the apple snail was observed at Hadong, Hapchen, Sanchung, Kimhae, Milyang, Changwon, Ulsan, Busan, Gyengju, Pohang, Chilgok, Seongju, Gumi, Sangju and Youngju in Yeongnam area. And the over-wintering locations of apple snail going north year by year. Accordingly, the successful over-wintering sites observed were deep wells, water running canals and brooks not dried conditions. A special feature of this sites was that the water of this sites was not frozen during winter season.

본 연구의 목적은 치매노인의 보호를 위해 필요한 주요문제특성의 추출이다. 시설에 입소해 있는 치매노인 110명과 정상노인 30명을 대상으로 기본특성 조사, 인지기능 선별검사(Korean Mini-Mental State Examination: K-MMSE), 문제특성 설문조사를 실시하였다. 요인분석(factor analysis)을 이용하여 치매노인의 주요문제특성을 추출하고, 일원변량분석(one-way ANOVA)을 이용하여 성별과 치매 중증도에 따른 문제특성의 빈도차이를 검증하였다. 요인분석결과 총 20개의 주요문제특성이 추출되었다. 문제특성의 빈도는 성별에 따라 폭력적 언어 및 작화, 수집행동, 반복행동에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 치매 중증도에 따라서는 성적 이상행동과 시청력 장애를 제외한 모든 특성에서 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 치매노인 보호를 위한 유비쿼터스 기술의 활용에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.
