This study was conducted to examine the effects of defaunation (removal of live protozoa) on fermentation characteristics, degradation of ryegrass hay and CH4 (methane) production by rumen microbes when incubated with plant oils (SO, sunflower oil and LO, linseed oil) in vitro. Sodium lauryl sulfate (0.000375 g/ml) as a defaunation reagent was added into the culture solution and incubated anaerobically up to 24 h at 39℃. pH from defaunation was increased for all treatments from 6 h incubation times (p<0.01-0.001) compared with those from fauantion. Concentration of ammonia-N from defaunation is higher than that from faunation at 3 h (p<0.001), 12 h (p<0.05) and 24 h (p<0.001) incubation times. Defaunation decreased (p<0.01-0.001) total volatile fatty acid concentration at all incubation times. Molar proportions of C2 (acetate, p<0.05-0.001) and butyrate (p<0.01-0.001) were also decreased by defaunation at all incubation times. Molar proportion of C3 (propionate), however, was increased by defaunation at all incubation times (p<0.001). Thus the rate of C2 to C3 was decreased by defaunation at all incubation times (p<0.001). Defaunation decreased ED (effective degradability) of dry matter (p<0.001) and ED of neutral detergent fiber (p<0.001) of ryegrass hay. Defaunation decreased total gas, CH4 production, CH4 % in total gas and CH4/CO2 at all incubation times (p<0.001). Oil supplementation decreased total gas (p<0.05-0.001), CH4 production (p<0.001) and CH4 % in total gas (p<0.001) compared with control at all incubation times. The result of this study showed that defaunation combined with oil supplementation may cause an alteration of microbial communities and further medicate the fermentation pattern, resulting in both reduction of degradation of ryegrass hay and CH4 production. No difference, however, was observed in all the examinations between SO and LO.

기존의 기계적인 센서들보다 높은 민감도와 선형성을 가지는 반도체 압력 센서들은 크기가 작고 일괄공정에 의해 제작될 수 있는 반도체 공정 기술로 제작되므로 다양한 산업에서 적용되고 있다. 하지만 열과 반복적인 외부 하중은 센서의 수명에 치명적인 영향을 미치고 있고, 특히 외부에서 가해지는 열은 센서를 구성하는 구조물보다 신호를 전달하는 금속 배선의 피로 수명에 지대한 영향을 미치고 있으므로 이에 대한 영향성을 분석할 수 있는 프로세스를 확립하고, 이후 다양한 재료의 반복적인 열하중에 대한 피로 수명을 Manson & Coffin식에 따라서 평가하였다. 금속 배선의 밑단에서 피로수명이 가장 낮고, 굽힘하중은 피로 수명보다는 응력분포에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다.
