This study was carried out to investigate artificial insemination (AI) failure status and frozen semen characteristics in Korean proven bulls‘ number (KPN) semen used for AI of Hanwoo cows in Gangwon East region (Gangneung, Donghae, Taebaek, Samcheok, Sokcho, Yangyang, Goseong). Among semen used for AI, AI failure rate showed lowest at KPN506 (27.6%), whereas highest at KPN593 (77.2%). Correlations of AI failure in between Korean proven bulls semen and cows was 0.2941, which means that AI failure rate of Korean proven bulls semen may have respectable effect on reproduction of Hanwoo cow. In addition, present study was conducted to investigate spermatozoal viability rate, ruptured acrosome rate and active mitochondria in frozen Korean proven bulls semen with flow cytometry. The semen of KPN593 showed significantly (p<0.05) higher viability rate in KPN593 (30.49%) than that in KPN637 (37.34%). Furthermore, percentage of ruptured acrosome was lower in KPN637 as 21.37% than in KPN637 (21.37%), but it was not statistically significant. In conclusion, these results indicate that choice of Korean proven bulls semen may correlate positively with conception rate in Hanwoo cow. Therefore, KPN with high AI failure rate might be avoid to increase conception rate and characteristics of frozen semen might be evaluated before its use for AI.

육불화황(SF6)은 매우 큰 지구 온난화 효과를 가진다. 따라서, SF6/N2의 사용을 줄이고 이것을 대기 중으로 방출하는 것을 억제하기 위한 노력이 있어 왔다. 전기 기구에서 SF6의 사용량을 줄이는 한 가지 방법은 SF6/N2 혼합 기체를 사용하는 것이다. 혼합 기체에서 SF6의 농도는 10~60%까지 변화가 가능하다. 그러나, 기구를 분해하거나 수리할 경우에 혼합기체에서 SF6를 회수하여야 한다. SF6의 끓는점이 －60℃ 정도로 매우 낮으므로 액화법은 적용하기가 어렵다. 한 가지 가능한 대안은 분리막을 사용하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 5가지 고분자에 대해서 육불화황과 질소의 투과 성질에 대해서 조사하였다. 예를 들면 25℃에서 이축연신 폴리프로필렌(BOPP)에 대한 질소의 투과도는 0.19 barrer인 반면에 육불화황의 투과도는 0.0012 barrer로써 선택도는 158이었다. SF6/N2 혼합기체에 대한 upper bound가 처음으로 제안되었는데 n = -1.33 and k = 160 (barrer)이었다.

Myopalladin (MYPN) is an important expression gene associated with regulation of Z-line structure in muscle and maintains sarcomeric integrity. In this study, we investigated the association between MYPN A1795G SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) and carcass traits (LMA, longissimus muscle area; CW, carcass weight; BF, backfat thickness; MS, marbling score) in Korean cattle. The MYPN A1795G SNP was genotyped in 212 steers and analyzed the associations with carcass traits by PCR-RFLP (Restriction fragment length polymorphism) method. The allele frequencies were 0.566 for G allele and 0.434 for A allele. And the genotype frequencies of GG, GA, and AA genotype were 32.1%, 49%, and 18.9%, respectively. Association analysis indicated that the A1795G SNP of MYPN gene showed a significant association with LMA (p<0.05). The steers with GG genotype had higher LMA than those with the genotypes AA. But no significant associations were observed in other carcass traits (CW, BF, MS). The steers with the GG genotype showed higher CW and BF than those with the genotypes AA and GA. These results suggest that the A1795G SNP of the MYPN gene is associated with LMA and may be useful for candidate marker-assisted selection to increase the levels of LMA in Korean cattle.

POCl3 농도(0.005%, 0.02%)를 달리한 가교화 쌀전분에 PO(2%, 6%, 12%)를 처리하여 가교화 후하이드록시프로필화(CLHP) 쌀전분을 제조하고, 변성된 CLHP 쌀전분의 용해도, 팽윤력, RVA, DSC 특성을 연구하였다. 팽윤력은 일반 쌀전분 보다 다소 낮은 온도에서 일찍 증가되기 시작하였으나 그 이후에 모두 낮은 수치를 보여 CLHP 쌀전분이 일반 쌀전분보다 완만한 상승을 나타내었고 용해도는 CLHP 쌀전분이 일반 쌀전분보다 전체적으로 낮은 결과를 나타내었다. RVA 분석결과 CLHP 쌀전분의 최고점도는 일반 쌀전분보다 낮아졌고 holding strength와 final viscosity는 높은 경향을 나타내었고, breakdown은 낮아지고 setback 은 높은 것으로 나타났다. DSC 분석 결과 CLHP 쌀전분의 To, Tp, Tc가 일반 쌀전분보다 낮게 나타났으며, ΔH 역시 작은 값을 보였으며 POCl3 함량에 따른 차이, 즉 가교화에 의한 차이는 크지 않았다. 따라서 가교화 후 하이드록시프로필화 한 쌀전분의 경우 RVA점도 특성은 가교화에 의한 영향이 크고 하이드록시프로필화에 따른 영향이 작다고 볼 수 있었으며, DSC열적특성은 가교화에 의한 영향으로 하이드록시프로필화가 원활하지 않았던 것으로 생각된다. 즉 인산기에 의해 강해진 전분 입자에 의해 하이드록시프로필기의 치환이 덜 일어난 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 에틸렌 작용 억제제 중 하나인 1- methylcyclopropene(MCP)이 알스트로메리아, 금어초, 다알리아 및 나리의 절화수명에 미치는 영향을 알아보 기 위하여 실시하였다. 4종의 절화에 1-MCP 250, 500, 750 ppb를 각각 12시간 처리하였다. 알스트로메 리아의 경우 개화소요일수는 대조구와 1-MCP 모든 처리구에서 유의차가 없었다. 절화수명은 대조구보다 처리구에서 2일 이상 연장되었으며, 250 ppb 처리구가 17.1일로 가장 길었다. 금어초는 잔여소화율이 대조구 와 비교하여 1-MCP 모든 처리구에서 높아졌다. 그러 나 절화수명은 대조구와 처리구 사이에 유의차가 없었 다. 다알리아의 절화수명은 1-MCP 처리시 대조구보다 2일 정도 연장되었다. 수분흡수량은 절화수명과 반대 양상을 나타내었다. 나리의 절화수명은 대조구 12.6일 과 비교하여 모든 처리구간 유의차가 없었다. 수분흡수 량의 경우 대조구와 비교할 때 1-MCP 750 ppb 처리 구에서 약 3 mL 더 많았다.

Enforcement of the beef traceability system can block the sale of imported beef disguised Hanwoo and help customers to know detailed information of the Hanwoo beef while purchase. This study was carried out to investigate the possibilities of identifying DNA upon various ripening and roasting methods (soy sauce, gochujang sauce, 10% vinegar, 10% coke, 10% Cheongha, 10% Soju, completely burned out, raw, normal roasted, dried, and boiled) employed for beef traceability system. Completely burned out meat could not yied useful DNA in the sample, hence wa not analysed. The amplified peaks in most of the samples appeared equally barring completely burned out meat. However, roasted beef after ripened in soy sauce showed new peaks or deletion of a peaks with two markers. The DNA allele height and the amount of extracted DNA in roasted beef after ripening in 10% Cheongha was found to be higher than those in the raw beef. No significant correlations between DNA allele height and the amount of extracted DNA within the samples was noticed. Also, these results suggest that beef traceability using microsatellite (MS) markers is possible in various roasting beef because of bovine specific MS markers. Therefore, beef traceability system by DNA identify test would give the confidence in food safety and beef distribution system to customers.

Analysis of meat quality grade based on the DNA identity test samples were done on 320 Hanwoo (Korean cattle) raised in Gyeonggi region of Korea. 62.29% of cows and 91.35% of steers showed high quality which was above 1st beef grade. However, differences were observed between Gyeonggi Hanwoo and total slaughtered Hanwoo in Gyeonggi in the year 2009, though the sampling was entirely based high quality meat. Meat samples of pedigree registered cattle showed high rate of above 1st meat grade compared to advanced and fundamentally registered cattle. Pedigree registry is associated with quality grade of beef like the sex of cattle. Appearance rate of above 1st beef grade in offsprings of the top 9 Korean Proven Bulls produced through mating to Gyeonggi Hanwoo was 43.27% which was found to be higher than the average grade in cows (47.3%) and was 13.08% higher than the average grade in steers (77.49%). Our results showed superior genetic characters of Korean Proven Bulls which favors and influence the meat quality grade of their offsprings. Furthermore, our results claim that sex of Hanwoo irrespective of pedigreed or Korean Proven Bulls affects and/or influence the meat quality. Conclusively, the results could therefore be used as a basic data for the improvement of beef quality. However, paternity test by DNA typing and huge sample needs to be analysed to authenticate the findings.

본 연구에서는 Water Gas Shift (WGS) 반응이 일어나는 분리막 반응기 (MR) 대상공정에 대해서 동적모사 (dynamic simulation)를 실시하고 시간과 위치에 따른 온도 및 수소 농도 변화 등을 살펴보았다. 모사 결과에 의하면 도입부에서 반경방향으로의 수소 농도, 수소 분압 및 온도차가 가장 컸으며 출구에서 가장 작았다. 또한, 수소분압의 차이가 가장 큰 도입부에서 수소의 flux가 가장 크게 나타나며 출구에서 일산화탄소의 전환률은 0.65였다.

Beef traceability, a system that provides all the records of beef production, helps customers purchase that they get to know detailed information of the Hanwoo beef. This study was carried out to investigate the DNA identity possibility in various cooking methods to ripen meat (soy sauce, gochujang sauce, 10% vinegar, 10% coke, 10% Cheongha, 10% Soju, raw, dried, and decayed) for beef traceability. The DNA content of decayed beef was higher than those of other cooking methods. It is thought that result of mixed pollutant, it did not affect amplified DNA allele height because of bovine specific microsatellite (MS) markers. The ripened sample in 10% vinegar 3 days was lowest a mount of extracted DNA (156 ng) and amplified DNA allele height (based on the raw samples to 38%) by MS markers compared with the other cooking methods. There are no significant correlation between amplified DNA allele height and the amount of extracted DNA. Therefore, beef DNA identity test in various cooking methods to ripen meat can used by bovine specific MS markers. Beef traceability system by DNA identify test will give more confidence in food safety to customers

In this study, the analysis of meat quality grade was carried out on the DNA identity test samples of 452 Hanwoo (Korean cattle) raised in Gyeongnam region in the year 2009. Appearance rate of above 1st grade from cow (70%) and steer (93.16%) showed high quality grade. On the other hand, there were the difference between this study and slaughtered Hanwoo in Gyeongnam in the year 2009 - appearance rate of above 1st grade from cow (58.77%) and steer (82.99%). It expect considered influence of the samples for beef DNA identity test that collected mainly high quality meat. Quality grade by registry classification about collected samples showed correlation between pedigree classification and quality grade that appearance rate of above 1st grade highly observed pedigree registry more than advanced registry, advanced registry than fundamental registry. Although limited to DNA identity test samples, KPN (Korean Proven Bull's Number) 452 and KPN 407 was preferred for breeding in Gyeongnam. Also average appearance rate of above 1st grade in offsprings of the top 10 Korean Proven Bulls used mating is 95.35%. It means that Korean Proven Bulls influence meat quality of offsprings positively. Thus, this analysis is expected to be a base data for the improvement of meat quality of Hanwoo raised in Gyeongnam region.

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) and Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) show common histopathologic features such as enamel organ like epithelial islands or cords on the background of abundant fibrous stroma. Despite their similar histopathologic features, it was reported that they have different pathogenesis and clinical behavior. The purpose of this study was to rev iew clinicopathologic features of DA and AF among Korean subjects. 7 cases of DA and 4 cases of AF were retrieved from the files of Seoul National University Dental Hospital (SNUDH), and their clinical features, radiographic findings, and histopathologic features were reviewed and compared. DA occurred in 3 males and 4 females. They occurred from 24 to 62 years of age, showing the mean age of 42.7 years. 5 of the 7 tumors occurred in the maxilla, and all of them in the anterior region, showing predilection for the maxillary anterior regions. There was no recurrence. Radiographically, they showed well demarcated unilocular or multilocular radiolucency. AF occurred in 5 males and 2 female. They occurred from 6 to 29 years of age, showing the mean age of 14 years. All tumors occurred in the mandibular molar area. Recurrence was recognized in 1 case. Although DA and AF showed similar histopathologic features, they showed different clinical behaviors. While DA showed predilection for the anterior maxilla, AF did for posterior mandible. While DA occurred mainly in adults, AF did in adolescents. Recurrence was recognized not in DA but in AF. Therefore, DA and AF should be differentiated from each other in spite of similar histopathologic findings

This study was carried out to survey the occurrence of stink bugs and pecky rice grain caused by the stink bugs in paddy fields in six districts of Gyeonggi-do. In the levee of the paddy fields, 30 species of the stink bugs were collected, and the dominant species were Paromius exiguus in Hwaseong and Siheung, and Stenotus rubrovittatus in Pyeongtaek, Icheon and Paju. In the paddy fields, 23 species were collected, and the dominant species were Paromius exiguus in Siheung, and Stenotus rubrovittatus in Pyeongtaek, Icheon and Paju. P. exiguus overwintered and proliferated mainly in the west coastal region, where its host plants, Imperata cylindrica and Calamagrostis epigeois, were abundant, and then moved to paddy fields later in the season, resulting in the peak density in September in paddy area. Stenotus rubrovittatus and Cletus punctiger were abundant in paddy area in August and September, and Eysarcoris aeneus was abundant in June and July. When the stink bugs were inoculated on the rice, the rate of pecky rice caused by E. aeneus and P. exiguus at milk ripe stage was 10.2% and 4.8%, respectively, and the rate by S. rubrovittatus and P. exiguus at dough ripe stage was 4.3% and 2.7%, respectively. The damage shape of pecky rice was distinctive according to the species. The surface of pecky rice by P. exiguus was very smooth but the surface of pecky rice by E. aeneus was rough and caved. In the pecky rice by S. rubrovittatus, the spot occurred at the topside of the grain.

졸-겔 공정은 비교적 간단하고 사용이 편리하며 저렴한 설비투자비가 소요되면서도 우수한 물성 및 차단특성을 갖는 코팅 박막을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 졸-겔 공정으로 코팅된 필름은 산소 등의 영향에 의해 부패되기 쉬운 식품, 음료, 약품, 의약품 등의 포장재나 단열제로 응용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 aluminum isopropoxide를 출발물질로 하여 alumina sol을 제조한 후 실란 커플링제를 첨가하여 코팅 용액을 제조하였다. 또한, 제조된 alumina sol 용액을 이축연신 폴리프로필렌(BOPP)에 코팅하여 복합 필름을 만들고 산소 투과 특성을 측정한 결과 순수한 BOPP에 비해서 산소 투과도가 약 85% 정도 감소되는 효과를 보였다.

Electrical properties of multi-channel metal-induced unilaterally precrystallized polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (MIUP poly-Si TFT) devices and circuits were investigated. Although their structure was integrated into small area, reducing annealing process time for fuller crystallization than that of conventional crystal filtered MIUP poly-Si TFTs, the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed the effect of crystal filtering. The multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed a higher carrier mobility of more than 1.5 times that of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs. Moreover, PMOS inverters consisting of the multi-channel MIUP poly-Si TFTs showed high dynamic performance compared with inverters consisting of the conventional MIUP poly-Si TFTs.
