This study was conducted to secure basic data for developing technologies to reduce the generation of odor substances by investigating the effects of environmental temperature on growth performance and the generation of odor substances from feces in growing pigs. A total of 16 pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc, average body weight 56.49±0.47kg) were randomly assigned to two treatments: thermal-neutral (TN) and heat stress (HS) conditions. The experiments were conducted for two weeks, with average temperature-humidity indices of 68.91±0.09 for TN and 85.98±0.08 for HS. The results showed that HS significantly decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI, 33.3%) and average daily gain (ADG, 25.8%) compared with TN (p<0.05). Non-esterified fatty acid in serum was lower (36.2%) in HS compared with TN (p<0.05). However, protein, blood urea nitrogen, cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, and IgG in serum showed no difference between HS and TN. Phenol (350.0%) and skatole (416.3%) were significantly higher in HS than in TN (p<0.05). The decrease in growth performance is attributed to reduction in ADFI. The increase in phenol and skatole in HS is presumed to be due to the effect of HS on the metabolism of intestinal microbial composition. Digestion rate, intestinal microbial composition, and urine emissions are known to affect odor substances. Further research on the content of odor substances in urine, nutrient digestion rate, and intestinal microbial composition is considered necessary to determine the exact associations.

본 연구는 중·고교 엘리트 역도 선수들을 대상으로 훈련에 의한 성장기 체력 및 운동기능 발달 수준을 평가하여 종합적인 이해를 토대로 경기력 향상을 위한 효과적인 훈련 및 관리방안을 제시하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해 충청남도 소재의 중, 고등학교 소속 역도선수[중등부 남자(n=5), 중등부 여자(n=5), 고등부 남자(n=12), 고등부 여자(n=8)]들을 대상으로 약 10개월 간의 역도기반 훈련에 따른 신체조성, 기초체력(근력, 근지구력, 순발력, 유연성, 동적평형성, 협응성) 및 등속성 근 기능(하지 및 요부)의 변화를 추적 관찰하였다. 그 결과, 중·고교 역도선수들은 제지방량의 증가를 중심으로 신체발달이 이루어졌으며, 척추 안정화와 함께 상체와 하체 간의 빠르고 효율적인 힘 전달에 기여하는 배근력과 순발 력, 바벨을 안정된 그립으로 통제하기 위해 필요한 높은 악력은 역도 경기력의 중요한 체력요인으로서 고 등부 수준에서 진행되는 전문적인 훈련과 경기 경험을 통해 유의하게 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 반면, 역 도종목의 경기력에 기여하는 주요 체력요인 이외의 변화는 제한적이었으며, 이는 구체적인 훈련 프로그램의 구성 혹은 선수들의 경력 및 숙련도에 따른 효율성의 차이에서 비롯된 것으로 추론된다. 종합해보면, 성 장기 역도선수들의 체력과 운동능력은 엘리트 운동선수의 발전가능성을 평가하는 중요한 요소로서 이 연 구를 통해 도출된 결과는 역도 선수들의 향상된 경기 성과를 이루는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a natural stress-reducing substance and is actively used as a human health supplement. However, minimal research has been conducted on its use in cattle. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of GABA on the growth performance, complete blood count, blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics of fattening Hanwoo steers. Twenty-one fattening steers were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: control (basal diet: concentrate feed + rice straw), T1 (basal diet + GABA supplement at 0.8% of feed/head/day), and T2 (basal diet + GABA supplement at 1.6% of feed/head/day). Feed intake and conversion ratio did not differ among the treatments. However, the average daily gain during the early fattening period increased linearly to 0.80 kg, 0.86 kg, and 0.92 kg in the control, T1, and T2 groups (p<0.05). Plasma γ-glutamyl transferase (37.5, 58.2, 42.8 U/ℓ) and creatinine (1.32, 1.34, 1.49 ㎎/㎗) levels in the GABA supplement group were increased compared to those in the control group. The carcass weight (422.7, 427.1, 454.1 kg), rib eye area (86.67, 92.57, 91.14 cm2), and marbling score (3.67, 4.29, 4.14) were numerically higher in the GABA supplement group than in the control group. Thus, GABA supplementation positively affected the average daily gain and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. However, the effect of the GABA supplement level of GABA was small, and further research using rumen-protected coating technology on GABA is necessary.

Recently, the electron transport layer (ETL) has become one of the key components for high-performance perovskite solar cell (PSC). This study is motivated by the nonreproducible performance of ETL made of spin coated SnO2 applied to a PSC. We made a comparative study between tin oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) or spin coating to be used as an ETL in N-I-P PSC. 15 nm-thick Tin oxide thin films were deposited by ALD using tetrakisdimethylanmiotin (TDMASn) and using reactant ozone at 120 °C. PSC using ALD SnO2 as ETL showed a maximum efficiency of 18.97 %, and PSC using spin coated SnO2 showed a maximum efficiency of 18.46 %. This is because the short circuit current (Jsc) of PSC using the ALD SnO2 layer was 0.75 mA/cm2 higher than that of the spin coated SnO2. This result can be attributed to the fact that the electron transfer distance from the perovskite is constant due to the thickness uniformity of ALD SnO2. Therefore ALD SnO2 is a candidate as a ETL for use in PSC vacuum deposition.

코로나 이후 시기가 도래하며 세계 각국은 빠른 경제 회복을 목표로 다양한 노력을 강구하고 있다. 이러한 측면에서 고성장기업에 관한 관심 역시 지속해서 높아지고 있는데, 지금까지 이루어진 다양한 고성장기업의 연구를 통해 국가 경제발전이나 고용 창출에 있어 고성장기업의 높은 기여도가 입증되었기 때문이다. 이처럼 기존 고성장기업 관련 연구의 경우 국가 경제 차원, 특히 고용 창출에 있어서 고성장기업의 역할을 강조하고 있다. 하지만, 혁신 관점에서 고성장기업의 역할을 언급하고 있는 연구는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기업 재무 데이터와 과학기술정책연구원의 2021년 한국기업혁신조사(KIS)(서비스업 분야)를 병합한 통합데이터를 구축하고 서비스업 고성장기업의 혁신 활동과 혁신성과에 대해 분석해보았다. 방법론 측면에서는 고성장기업이 갖는 특성으로 인해 발생할 수 있는 선택편의 문제를 해결 하기 위해 성향점수매칭방법론을 활용하였다. 분석 결과를 살펴보면 서비스업 고성장기업은 일반기업 대비 더 다양한 혁신 활동을 통해 더 많은 혁신성과물을 창출하고 있는 것으로 나 타났다. 특히, 상품혁신이나 비즈니스 혁신성과물 창출에 있어서 고성장기업이 긍정적인 역 할을 한다는 것은 기존 경제·사회적 관점에서 강조되어오던 고성장기업의 중요성을 혁신성 장 관점으로 확대하여 해석할 수 있는 결과이다. 다만, 연구·개발 유형이나 협력 R&D에서는 일반기업과 차별점을 찾을 수 없었는데, 이는 협력 연구·개발 강화를 통해 고성장기업이 보 유한 혁신역량이 일반기업자들에게 파급될 필요가 있음을 보여주는 결과이다. 이상의 분석 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 국가 혁신역량 강화를 위한 고성장기업 육성과 모니터링의 필요성, 고성장기업의 협력 활동 유인 통한 혁신의 파급효과 확대 등의 시사점을 제시하고자 한다.

Tb3+-doped CaNb2O6 (CaNb2O6:Tb3+) thin films were deposited on quartz substrates at a growth temperature of 300 °C using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The deposited thin films were annealed at several annealing temperatures for 20 min and characterized for their structural, morphological, and luminescent properties. The experimental results showed that the annealing temperature had a significant effect on the properties of the CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films. The crystalline structure of the as-grown CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films transformed from amorphous to crystalline after annealing at temperatures greater than or equal to 700 °C. The emission spectra of the thin films under excitation at 251 nm exhibited a dominant emission band at 546 nm arising from the 5D4 → 7F5 magnetic dipole transition of Tb3+ and three weak emission bands at 489, 586, and 620 nm, respectively. The intensity of the 5D4 → 7F5 (546 nm) magnetic dipole transition was greater than that of the 5D4 → 7F6 (489 nm) electrical dipole transition, indicating that the Tb3+ ions in the host crystal were located at sites with inversion symmetry. The average transmittance at wavelengths of 370~1,100 nm decreased from 86.8 % at 700 °C to 80.5 % at an annealing temperature of 1,000 °C, and a red shift was observed in the bandgap energy with increasing annealing temperature. These results suggest that the annealing temperature plays a crucial role in developing green light-emitting CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films for application in electroluminescent displays.

Graphene has attracted the interest of many researchers due to various its advantages such as high mobility, high transparency, and strong mechanical strength. However, large-area graphene is grown at high temperatures of about 1,000 °C and must be transferred to various substrates for various applications. As a result, transferred graphene shows many defects such as wrinkles/ripples and cracks that happen during the transfer process. In this study, we address transfer-free, large-scale, and high-quality monolayer graphene. Monolayer graphene was grown at low temperatures on Ti (10nm)-buffered Si (001) and PET substrates via plasma-assisted thermal chemical vapor deposition (PATCVD). The graphene area is small at low mTorr range of operating pressure, while 4 × 4 cm2 scale graphene is grown at high working pressures from 1.5 to 1.8 Torr. Four-inch wafer scale graphene growth is achieved at growth conditions of 1.8 Torr working pressure and 150 °C growth temperature. The monolayer graphene that is grown directly on the Ti-buffer layer reveals a transparency of 97.4 % at a wavelength of 550 nm, a carrier mobility of about 7,000 cm2/V×s, and a sheet resistance of 98 W/□. Transfer-free, large-scale, high-quality monolayer graphene can be applied to flexible and stretchable electronic devices.

리튬 덴드라이트의 효과적인 억제를 위해 유/무기 복합체를 리튬메탈 전극의 보호층으로 사용하였다. 유기물로는 PVDF-HFP가 사용되었으며 무기물로는 TiO2가 사용되었다. 유기물로 사용된 PVDF-HFP는 높은 유연성을 가지는 고분자로서 무기물의 matrix 역할을 하며, 무기물로 사용된 TiO2 나노입자는 보호막의 기계적 강도와 이온전도성을 향상시켜주는 역할을 하였다. 합성된 보호막은 SEM, AFM, XRD를 통하여 PVDF-HFP matrix에 TiO2가 잘 분산되어 있는 형태인 것을 확인할 수 있 었다. 또한 전기화학적 분석 결과, 향상된 기계적 물성과 이온전도성으로 인해 polymer-inorganic composite은 비교 샘플(untreated 와 PVDF-HFP 보호층) 대비 100번째 사이클까지 80%의 높은 쿨롱 효율 및 20 mV 미만의 낮은 과전압을 나타내었다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of the feeding method of total mixed fermentation (TMF) and concentrate feed on the growth performance, carcass and meat characteristics of late fattening Hanwoo steers. Twenty-four Hanwoo steers were used in this study. The control group was fed with concentrate feed + rice straw from the growing to the late fattening period, while the T1 group was fed with TMF from the growing to the early fattening period and concentrate feed + rice straw for the late fattening period. The T2 group was fed with TMF from the growing to the late fattening period. The average daily gain (ADG) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were not different between the treatment and control group. Serum cholesterol and high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations were higher in the T2 groups than in the control group (p<0.05). The yield grade and quality grade were not different between the treatment and control group. The lightness of longissimus muscle was higher in the T1 group than in the control and T2 groups (p<0.05). Poly-unsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) of longissimus muscle was increased in the T2 groups than in the control group. Therefore, the method of feeding TMF and concentrate feed could have a positive effect on the lightness and fatty acid composition of longissimus muscle without affecting the growth and carcass grades of Hanwoo steers.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mountain grazing on growth performance and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. Thirty two Hanwoo steers were randomly assigned. Control were fed concentrate + forage until 30 month of age. Treatment1 were fed concentrate + forage after mountain grazing from 8 to 13 months. Treatment2 and 3 were fed concentrate + forage after mountain grazing from 8 to 17 months. Hanwoo steers on Treatment 1 and 2 were slaughtered at the same age (30 months) as the control, and Hanwoo steers on Treatment 3 were slaughtered at 31 months. The average daily gain (ADG) were higher in the control than in the other treatments during the growing period (p<0.05). Carcass back fat thickness was thicker in the TRT 3 and marbling score was higher in the TRT 1 than in the other treatments; however, the differences were not statistically significant. There was no difference in the meat composition and shear force of the longissimus muscle according to the mountain grazing. However, the yellowness (b) of fat colors were significantly lower in the control than in the TRT 1 and TRT 2 (p<0.05). The effect of grazing on fatty acid composition was not constant. In conclusion, mountain grazing could reduce meat color without affecting the growth and meat quality of Hanwoo steers, and further research on the quality, yield and intake of grassland would be needed.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the proper feeding level and duration of fermented barley grain feed before harvesting to improve the availability of barley for feed. Trial 1 was to investigate the proper feeding amount of fermented barley grain fermented feed, and we prepared 32 heads (603.4 ± 42.7kg) of 22-month-old Hanwoo steer (603.4 ± 42.7kg) for 8 heads in 4 treatment groups. 48 heads (625.8 ± 13.1kg) for Trial 2 were used for 12heads per 4 treatments, and were reared for about 9 months until 30 months of age. Trial 1 is treated a Control group that feed 10㎏ of concentrate, replaces 10% fermented barley grain feed(FBGF) of the control by (TRT 1) and 20% (TRT 2) and 30%(TRT 3). Concentrate and FBGF fed 9, 2.1 kg, 8, 4.2 kg, 7 and 7, 6.3 kg on each treatments respectively and 1.5 kg of rice straw for forage. In Trial 2, 10% of alternative diets were judged to be appropriate, and the control of 9kg of diets and barley grain fermented feeds were used to determine the appropriate feeding period. The treatments were 3 months before shipment (TRT 1), 6 months (TRT 2) and 9 months (TRT32). Each treatment group had 8 and 2.1 kg of concentrate and barley grain fermentation, respectively. As a feed, rice straw was fed to 1.5 kg. The daily gains per treatment were higher in TRT 1 and TRT 3 was similar to the Control. Body weight and daily gain during the test period were higher in TRT 1 fed 10% barley grain fermented feed. TRT 2 was the highest at 6.13, and TRT 3 was 6.0, which was higher than 5.63 of TRT 1 and 5.5 of Control.

Although mud shrimp (Upogebia Major) provides benefits on the tidal flat ecosystem, it is causing the mass mortality of Manila clam (Tapes philippinarum) and large economic loss to the aquaculture farmer due to spreading in the entire coastal clam farm area of the West Sea of Korea. In this study, a mud shrimp blocking box for cultivating clam was tested to prevent the mud shrimp from invading the habitat of the clam. To determine the effect of the blocking box, the growth characteristics of the clams under various culture conditions were investigated. The shell length, total weight, condition index, the presence of mud shrimp in the box, and the soil decay in the box were examined according to whether the clams were raised in the box or in natural state, whether the box is covered with a net or not and the gap size of the box. As a result, no significant differences in shell length, total weight, and condition index were found between the clam grown in the box and the natural state (P>0.05) without any evidence of invading of mud shrimp to the box. In addition, the soil inside the box was in good condition, not decayed. Therefore, using the mud shrimp blocking box, mud shrimp can be prevented from propagating to the habitat of the clam, thereby contributing to the normal production of the clam and thus to restoring the clam farming.

완도수목원내 백운로 상부의 붉가시나무림을 대상으로 난대 상록활엽수림 복원 시 붉가시나무의 성장 및 종실공급과 관련된 기초정보를 제공하는 목적으로 붉가시나무의 성장 및 결실특성을 조사하고 종실량 상대성장식을 구하였다. 성장특성은 평균흉 고직경급에 속하는 실생 임목 3주의 표본목을 선정 벌목하여 수간석해하였다. 표본목의 평균치의 수령(X)에 의한 흉고직경과 수고의 성장특성(Y)의 상대성장식(Y=aX+b)을 개발하였으며, 추정식에 의한 붉가시나무 수령에 따른 흉고직경 및 수고를 추정하였다. 결실특성은 성숙종실초기인 8월에 평균 흉고직경급에 속하는 임목을 대상으로 결실이 충실한 임목 3주의 표본목을 선정 벌목하여 조사하였다. 붉가시나무의 종실량 상대성장식을 개발하기 위하여 결실목 중 흉고직경이 고르게 10주의 표본목을 선정 벌목하였다. 벌목한 표본목은 흉고직경, 수고, 수관폭, 수관고 등의 성장특성(X)과 종실량(Y)을 조사 분석하여 종실량 상대성장식(Y=aXb)을 유도하였다. 표본목 평균치의 수령에 의한 상대성장식은 흉고직경 Y=0506X-2.064(R2=0.999), 수고 Y=0.321X+0689(R2=0.992)이었다. 개발된 상대성장식에 의하여 수령 10, 20, 30, 40년일 때 흉고직경은 각각 3.0㎝, 8.1㎝, 13.1㎝, 18.2㎝, 수고는 각각 3.9m, 7.1m, 10.3m, 13.5m가 되는 것으로 추정되었다. 결실특성 조사 결과 결과모지(結果母枝) 당 잎 수를 제외한 결과모지의 길이, 직경, 결과모지 당 결과지 수, 종실 수는 유의적인 차이를 보였으며, 수관 상, 중, 하부로 갈수록 감소하였다. 종실 총수의 경우 수관 상, 중, 하부 각각 1,312립, 115립, 5립이었다. 붉가시나무 표본목을 일괄하여 추정한 종실량 상대성장식의 흉고직경(D)를 독립변수로 하는 상대성장식은 Y=0.003X4.260, 결정계수(R2)은 0.896이었다. 흉고직경만을 독립변수로 하는 상대성장식은 흉고직경과 수고(D2H)를 독립변수로 하는 결정계수가 다소 낮으나, 측정오차를 고려하면, 흉고직경만을 독립변수로 하는 상대성장식을 적용하는 것이 실용적이라고 판단된다.

Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 (PZT) is used for the various piezoelectric devices owing to its high piezoelectric properties. However, lead (Pb), which is contained in PZT, causes various environment contaminations. (K,Na)NbO3 (NKN) is the most well-known candidate for a lead-free composition to replace PZT. A single crystal has excellent piezoelectric-properties and its properties can be changed by changing the orientation direction. It is hard to fabricate a NKN single crystal due to the sodium and potassium. Thus, (Na,K)NbO3-Ba(Cu,Nb)O3 (NKN-BCuN) is chosen to fabricate the single crystal with relative ease. NKNBCuN pellets consist of two parts, yellow single crystals and gray poly-crystals that contain copper. The area that has a large amount of copper particles may melt at low temperature but not the other areas. The liquid phase may be responsible for the abnormal grain growth in NKN-BCuN ceramics. The dielectric constant and tan δ are measured to be 684 and 0.036 at 1 kHz in NKN-BCuN, respectively. The coercive field and remnant polarization are 14 kV/cm and 20 μC/cm2.

The toxic dinoflagellate Gymnodinium catenatum isolated from the southern coast of Korea was described under light and scanning electron microscopy, and its large subunit (LSU) rDNA was sequenced. In addition, the effects of temperature and salinity on its growth were investigated. The cells of G. catenatum, as viewed under the electronic microscope, were green-brown color, 38.1-77.4 μm in length and 26.1-40.8 μm in width. The epicone was conical, while the hypocone was trapezoidal. The nucleus was located at the central part of the cell. The apical groove was horseshoe-shaped and small pores were irregularly distributed on the cell surface. Molecular phylogeny based on LSU rDNA gene sequences showed that the Korean G. catenatum and previously reported species formed a monophyletic clade within Gymnodinium sensu stricto clade. The maximum growth rate of 0.37 day-1, was obtained at 25°C and 35 psu, and the maximum cell density of 1,073 cells mL-1, was observed at 20°C and 25 psu. However, G. catenatum did not grow at temperature <15°C and <30°C. These results suggest that environmental conditions of summer and autumn in the southern coast of Korea may be favorable for the growth of G. catenatum.
