The average twin lambing rate of Bayanbulak sheep is 2% to 3%. However, a flock of sheep with a close genetic relationship and an average of 2 to 3 lambs per birth has been found recently. To determine the major genes controlling the prolificacy of the flock in the present study, the flock was designated A while 100 normal Bayanbulak sheep were randomly selected to comprise the control flock B. Ligase detection reaction method was applied to detect and analyze the 10 mutational loci of the 3 candidate prolificacy genes including bone morphogenetic protein type I receptors, bone morphogenetic protein 15, and growth differentiation factor 9. The 10 mutational loci are as follows: FecB locus of the BMPR-IB gene; $FecX^I$, $FecX^B$, $FecX^L$, $FecX^H$, $FecX^G$, and $FecX^R$ of the BMP15 gene; and G1, G8, and FecTT of the GDF9 gene. Two mutations including BMPR-IB/FecB and GDF9/G1 were found in Bayanbulak sheep. Independence test results of the two flocks demonstrate that the FecB locus has a significant effect on the lambing number of Bayanbulak sheep. However, the mutation frequency of the G1 locus in GDF9 is very low. Independence test results demonstrate that the GDF9 locus does not have a significant impact on the lambing performance of Bayanbulak sheep. Among the 10 detected loci, BMPR-IB/FecB is the major gene that influences the high lambing rate of Bayanbulak sheep.

K2NiF4-type organic-based perovskites of the (C4H9NH3)2FexPb1-xCl4 (x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75) system have been synthesized using a low-temperatu re solution method under a flowing argon gas. When stoichiometric butylamine, iron chloride, and lead chloride are mixed, a yellow solution are obtained from slow cooling of 90 to -10 $^{\circ}C.$ The final product is a plate-like yellow crystal. The X-ray crystallographic analysis has been carried out using XRD in the range of $5^{\circ}{\leq}$ 2${\theta}$ ${\leq}80^{\circ}.$ The local symmetry around the absorbing Pb atom of the samples has been determined by the EXAFS spectroscopic study. The crystals assign to orthorhombic system by the XRD analysis. The FT-IR spectra are analyzed in the range of 600 to 3300 cm-1 . DSC and TGA are measured to detect thermal stability between 30 and 300 $^{\circ}C.$ Two endothermic peaks are detected in all samples. The electrical conductivity has been measured using the four-probes technique for the (C4H9NH3)2FexPb1-xCl4 system in 300-460 K. Photoluminescence phenomenon was also investigated at room-temperature.

The mechanisms of selective oxidation of intercritically annealed CMnAl TRIP steels in a Continuous Galvanizing Line (GCL) were studied by cross-sectional observation of the surface and sub-surface regions by means of High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM). The selective oxidation and nitriding of an intercritically annealed CMnAl TRIP steel in a controlled dew point 10%$H_2+N_2$ atmosphere resulted in the formation of c-xMnO.$MnO_2$ (1${\leq}$x<3) and c-xMnO.$Al_2O_3$ ($x{\geq}1$) particles on the steel surface. Single crystal c-xMnO.$SiO_2$ ($2{\leq}x{\leq}4$) oxide particles were also observed on the surface. A thin film of crystalline c-xMnO.$SiO_2$ (2${\leq}$x<3) and c-xMnO.$Al_2O_3$ ($x{\geq}1$) was present between these particles. In the sub-surface region, internal oxidation, nitriding and intermetallic compound formation were observed. In the first region, large crystalline c-xMnO.$SiO_2$ ($1{\geq}x{\geq}2$) and c-xMnO.$Al_2O_3$ ($x{\geq}1$) oxides particles were present. In the second region, c-AlN particles were observed, and in a third region, small $MnAl_x$ (x>1) intermetallic compound particles were observed.

This paper presents a 3-D visualization technique using stereo radioactive images to provide efficient inspection of fast moving cargo objects. The proposed technique can be used for such objects which CT or MRI cannot inspect due to restricted scan environment. Stereo radioactive images are acquired from a specially designed equipment which consists of a X-ray source, linear radioactive sensors, and a moving stage. Two radioactive sensors are installed so that rectified stereo X-ray images of objects are acquired. Using the stereo X-ray images, we run a matching algorithm to find the correspondences between the images and reconstruct 3-D shapes of real objects. The objects are put in a parallelepiped box to simulate cargo inspection. Three real objects are tested and reconstructed. Due to the inherent ambiguity in the stereo X-ray images, we reconstruct 3-D shapes of the edges of the objects. The experimental results show the proposed technique can provide efficient visualization for cargo inspection.

The fabricated La-modified lead titanate (PLT) thin flim without paling treatment was investigated for modulation frequency dependence of pyroelectric properties by the dynamic method. $Pb_{1-x}La_{x}Ti_{1-x/4}O_{3}$ PLT (x=0.1) thin film having 10 mol% La content was deposited on a $Pt/TiO_{x}/SiO_{2}/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method. The PLT(10) thin film exhibits a relatively excellent dielectric property. The pyroelectric coefficient (p) of the PLT(10) thin film is $6.6{\times}10^{-9}C/cm_{2}\cdot K$ without frequency dependence. The figure of merits for the voltage responsivity and specific detectivity are $1.03{\times}10^{-11}C\cdot cm/J$ and $1.46\times 10^{-9}C\cdot cm/J$, respectively. The PLT(10) thin film has voltage responsivity (Rv) of 5.15 V/W at 8 Hz. Noise equivalent power (NEP) and specific detectivity (D*) of the PLT(10) thin film are$9.93{\times}10^{-8}W/Hz^{1/2}$ and $1.81\times 10^{6}cmHz^{1/2}/W$ at the same frequency of 100 Hz, respectively. The results means that PLT thin film having 10 mol % La content is suitable for the sensing materials of pyroelectric IR sensors.

$SrBi_{2x}Ta_2O_9$ (SBT) thin films were prepared on platinized silicon substrates by MOD process, and their ferroelectric and leakage current characteristics were investigated. The grain size of the MOD derived SBT films increased with increasing the BI/Ta mole ration. Although the SBT films with x of 0.8~1.2 were composed of the equiaxed grains, the elongated grains were also observed for the SBT films with x of 1.4 and 1.6. The SBT film with x of 1.2 exhibited the optimum ferroelectric properties of 2PR : 9.79 $\muC/\textrm{cm}^2$ and Ec : 24.2kV/cm at applied voltage of 5V. The leakage current density of the SBT films increased with increasing the BI/Ta mole ratio. With post annealing process, 2Pr and $E_c$of the SBT film with x of 1.2 increases 11.3 $\muC/\textrm{cm}^2$ and 39.6kV/cm, respectively. decrement of the leakage current density by post annealing process increased remarkably with increasing the Bi/ta mole ratio, and the SBT film with x=1.6 exhibited the lowest leakage current density after post annealing process.

The aim of this research was to apply a method designed to derive the factors influencing total ammonia removal when operating an additional pretreatment system at Aquaponics. The Box-Behnken method, among response surface analysis methods was used to characterize and determine the optimal nitrification conditions when operating the pretreatment system. Among the mathematically and statistically calculated prediction equations, the total ammonia nitrogen concentration Y1 measured on day 8 was derived as Y₁=-195.8+2.23X₁+42.9X₂+47.5X₃+0.1856X₁²-1.380X₁X₂-1.770X₁X₃, and the time taken to reach the maximum total ammonia nitrogen concentration during the experiment period was derived as Y₂=271-5.04X₁+60.5X₂-64.8X₃+0.1654X₁²+6.54X₃²-0.600X₁X₃-9.00X₂X₃. The coefficients of determination of the regression models of Y₁ and Y₂ were 93.99% and 94.46%, respectively. The modified coefficients of determination were also high, at 89.48% and 88.91%, respectively. The prediction coefficients of determination of Y₁ and Y₂, were 70.68% and 62.11%, respectively, which was relatively lower than that of Y1, but still indicated a reliable prediction performance.
