The current study was conducted to investigate the effect of early feed restriction (FR, 8 to 14 d of age) on growth performance and immune function in broiler chickens. Birds were fed corresponding diets from 3 to 35 d of age, which consisted of three phases: starter (3 to 7 d of age), FR (8 to 14 d of age) and re-alimentation (15 to 35 d of age) phases. During the FR period, each group of birds was fed the basal diet ad libitum (CON), 85% (EN85) and 70% (EN70) of lower calorie diet ad libitum (qualitative FR), and 85% (FI85) and 70% (FI70) of voluntary intake on a daily basis (quantitative FR). As a result, there was no statistical difference in weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio between the CON and quantitative or qualitative FR groups during the entire (3 to 35 d) periods. In particular, the EN85 group resulted in a significant (p<0.05) increase in weight gain compared with the EN70, FI85 and FI70 groups. Plasma total protein and albumin at 14 d of age (during FR) were significantly (p<0.05) lower in the quantitative and qualitative FR groups, but these parameters at 35 d of age (after re-alimentation) were higher (p<0.05) in the EN85 and EN70 groups than in the CON group. Plasma IgG level was unaffected by dietary FR procedure. In cytokines, there was no significant difference in the expression of lymphocytic IL-4 and IFN-${\gamma}$ at 14 d of age between the FR and the CON groups, whereas lymphocytic IL-6 and iNOS expression were significantly (p<0.05) lower in FI85 and FI70 groups. Moreover, lymphocytic iNOS was also significantly (p<0.05) lower in birds fed qualitative and quantitative diets compared with those fed ad libitum. In the thymus, IL-4 expression was higher (p<0.05) in FI85 and FI70 groups, whereas IL-6 expression was lower (p<0.05) in the FI85 and FI70 groups than in the CON group. Thymic iNOS was significantly (p<0.05) lower in birds fed qualitatively and quantitatively restricted diets compared with those fed ad libitum. At 35 d of age, there was no difference in the expression of IL-4, IL-6 and IFN-${\gamma}$ of lymphocytes and thymus between the FR and CON groups. In conclusion, 85% of quantitative and qualitative FR would have a beneficial effect on the expression of some cytokines including IL-4 and iNOS without change in growth performance of birds.

Measurements of the Faraday rotation and magnetization of terbium-doped Hoya FR5 glass and cerium-doped Hoya FR4 glass have been made as a function of temperature T in the range 4.2 K -10 K and of magnetic field H of up to 80 kG at the $Ar^+$ laser wavelength of 514.5nm. The saturations of magnetization and Faraday rotation above H/T> $5kG.K^{-1}$ can be analyzed by the quantum theory of paramagnetism. Calculated parameters show that the large Verdet constant of $Ce^{3+}$ glass is due to the effective $4f\rightarrow5d$ electric dipole transition effect and that of $Tb^{3+}$ glass is due to the magnetization effect.effect.

For the overproduction of L-phenylalanine using Escherichia coli, the authors constructed various recombinant plasmids including pMW 10, pMW 11 and pMW 12. The $aroF{FR}$ and $pheA^{FR}$ genes for the production of L-phenylalanine were isolated from Escherichia coli MWEC 101-5 strains. The productivity and atability of Escherichia coli regulatory mutants containing recombinant plasmids were investigated to evaluate the efficiency of the $aroF^{FR}$ and $pheA^{FR}$ genes. The MWEC 101-5/pMW 11 strain produced 24.3g/l of L-phenylalanine while its stability was 73.8 percent. The specific activity of prephenate dehydratase in the MWEC 101-5/pMW 11 strain increased by 26-fold compared with that of Escherichia coli K-12.

Liquid sloshing in two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) rectangular tanks is simulated by using a level set method based on the finite volume method. In order to examine the effect of natural frequency modes on liquid sloshing, we considered a wide range of frequency ratios ($0.5{\leq}fr{\leq}3.2$). The frequency ratio is defined by the ratio of the excitation frequency to the natural frequency of the fluid, and covers natural frequency modes from 1 to 5. When fr = 1, which corresponds to the first mode of the natural frequency, strong liquid sloshing reveals roof impact, and significant forces are generated by the liquid in the tank. The liquid flows are mainly unidirectional. Thus, the strong bulk motion of the fluid contributes to a higher elevation of the free surface. However, at fr = 2, the sloshing is considerably suppressed, resulting in a calm wave with relatively lower elevation of the free surface, since the waves undergo destructive interference. At fr = 2, the lower peak of the free surface elevation occurs. At higher modes of $fr_3$, $fr_4$, and $fr_5$, the free surface reveals irregular deformation with nonlinear waves in every case. However, the deformation of the free surface becomes weaker at higher natural frequency modes. Finally, 3-D simulations confirm our 2-D results.

In this paper, a 5-coupled BPF with teflon substrate is presented. In general, for less than 1 GHz frequency, the narrow bandwidth as well as the good characteristic in the rejection frequency band could be realized using lumped elements. However, for higher than 1 GHz frequency, the distributed elements such as microstrip lines need to be used for the design of the desired BPF For less than 2 GHz, the FR4 shows good filter characteristic at low cost. However, in the range of 2 GHz ~ 10 GHz, the filters with FR4 show a big difference between simulation and measurement results. Thus, in such a high frequency region, the teflon is more preferred to the FR4. The center frequency (fc) of the proposed filter is 2.3 GHz, the insertin loss (IL) is 1.2 dB, the return loss (RL) is 30 dB, bandwidth (BW) is 100 MHz, and the size is 8.3 cm $\times$ 4.9 cm.

In this paper, a novel embedded ultra wideband (UWB) band-pass filter is presented on a FR-4 package substrate including high Dk resin coated copper (${\varepsilon}_r=30$) film. The proposed UWB filter is comprised of a parallel resonator with meander-type uniform impedance resonator (UIR) and two series resonators with high Q circular stacked spiral inductor and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. In order to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics by generating attenuation poles in lower and upper stop bands, a single MIM capacitor is added to each resonator. The fabricated FR-4 embedded UWB filter has insertion loss of -1.0dB and return loss of -11dB, respectively. It has also extremely wide bandwidth (over 50%) and small size ($3.7{\times}4{\times}0.77\;mm^3$) which is compatible with LTCC devices.

The objective of this study was to compare the rate of in vitro demineralization of bovine permanent (BP), human deciduous (HD) and human permanent (HP) enamel. Twenty aye flattened and polished enamel samples for each group (BP, HD, HP) were immersed in a demineralizing solution (0.1 mol/L lactic acid, 0.2% Carbopol 907, and 50% saturated hydroxyapatite) for 1, 2, 4 or 8 days. All 25 samples from each group were subjected to Quantitative light induced fluorescence analysis (QLF) and 5 samples from each group were randomly selected for Transverse Microradiography analysis (TMR). Integrated mineral loss (IML) and lesion depth (LD) were determined by TMR. The fluorescence radiance (FR) of sound enamel $(FR_S)$, demineralized enamel $(FR_D)$ were determined by QLF and FR ratio $(FR_D/FR_S)$ was calculated. Bovine enamel samples showed significant correlation between FR ratio and lesion depth(p<0.05) and deciduous enamel samples does not showed significant correlation between FR ratio and lesion depth(p>0.05). Permanent enamel samples showed significant correlation between FR ratio and lesion depth(p<0.05) The constant of demineralization time between FR ratio from regression analysis were as follows: bovine enamel was -4.643(p<0.05) deciduous enamel was -5.421(p<0.05) and permanent enamel was -4.435(p<0.05).

본 실험은 제초제인 2,4-D, dicamba, 및 MCPP의 토양에서의 이동을 확인하고 평가하기 위하여 토양종류에 따른 이들 제초제의 흡착과 휘발을 일정시간 동안 조사하였다. 제초제의 토양중 흡착은 batch isotherm으로 조사하였는데, MCPP와 2,4-D는 Freundlich식에서 직선으로 나타났으며, dicamba는 곡선으로 나타났다. Silty clay 토양에서 MCPP의 K$_d$ 및 K$_{fr}$값이 가장 높았으며, loamy sand 토양에서는 dicamba의 K$_d$, K$_{fr}$값이 가장 낮았다. 전반적으로 silty clay 토양에서 K$_d$, K$_{fr}$값이 높았고 N값은 낮았다. 토양에 살포된 제초제의 약 40%가 처리 25일 경과시 휘발되거나 분해되었으며, 이들 제초제중 2,4-D가 dicamba와 MCPP에 비하여 분해 및 휘발속도가 빨랐다. 모든 토양에서 이들 제초제의 분해 및 휘발속도는 공기에 노출된 초기에 현저하게 빠른 것으로 나타나고 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 자연환경중에서 이들 제초제의 이동 및 잔류 현황을 예견하는데 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
