  • This study was conducted to determine the effects of beak trimming, stocking density (D) and sex (S) on live weight (LW), carcass yield and its component, and plasma glucose (PG) and triglyceride levels in Large White turkeys. To accomplish this aims, totally 288 d old large white turkey chicks (144 in each sex) were used. Beaks of 77 male and female poults were trimmed when 8 d old with an electrical beak trimmer. The birds were fed by commercial turkey rasion. Experiment was designed as 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement with 3 replications in each group. Beak trimming and stocking density did not affect live weight, carcass composition and its components. The higher LW and carcass weight observed in trimmed groups. As expected, male birds are heavier than female, and carcass percentage (CP) would be adverse. However, in this study, CP of male was higher in trimmed, in 0.25 m2/bird. (D) × sex (S) interaction had an effect on both CP and thigh weights (p<0.05). Significantly D × S was observed in LW, CP and PG. The weight of carcass and its some components were higher in male. S × D interaction had an effect on plasma glucose level (p<0.05). Triglyceride level was affected (p<0.05) by sex. Significant relationships were found between percentage of thighs (r=0.447, p<0.01) and percentage of breast (r=0.400, p<0.01). According to this study, it can be said that trimming is useful with density of 0.25 m2/bird in turkey fattening.

  • A five-month-old African grey parrot was presented with alopecia, yellowish diarrhea, depression, and paralysis in the veterinary medical center, Chungbuk National University. The patient died 3 h later after hospitalization. For the accurate diagnosis, necropsy was performed and fungi were detected in the air sac. PCR was done for the viral detection which caused the alopecia, and for the species identification of fungi. Final diagnosis was a multi infection with avian circoviruses that caused psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), avian polyomavirus cause budgerigar fledgling disease (BFD), and Aspergillus fumigatus. This is the first report of a multi infection in South Korea.

  • Hoe beak village (Donggu manseokdong, Akasaki Village) is the oldest slums in Incheon. Recently, 'Mixed residential environment improvement project' is being promoted as Aboriginal entire resettlement goals in place of 'new building reconstruction and redevelopment projects' knock down everything this hoe beak village existed already. Resident representatives meeting configuration goes, but still do business magazine in the right direction. Therefore, in this study, the proposed architectural solutions to meet the demand of residents on the research problems, performed in a manner that the local improved hoe Buri village residential environment improvement projects and analyze the current situation and characteristics. In this study, the following improvements are presented. Prepare guidelines and maintain design guidelines for maintaining the identity of the village, Improve continuous landscape of the village, Construction of mixed-use sanitation facilities, Using a mini-lot and Vacant for Ssamzie Park Development, Units of housing types for Shared housing and co-operation are proposed.

  • Direct removal of beak-type ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament at thoracic spine (T-OPLL) is a challenging surgical technique due to the potential risk of neural injury. Slipping off the cutting surface of a high-speed drill may result in entrapment in neural structures, leading to serious complications. Removal of T-OPLL with an ultrasonic osteotome, utilizing back and forth micro-motion of a blade rather than rotatory-motion of drill, may reduce such complications. We have applied the ultrasonic osteotome for posterior circumferential decompression of T-OPLL for three consecutive patients with beak-type OPLL and have described the surgical techniques and patient outcomes. The preoperative chief complaint was gait disturbance in all patients. Japanese orthopedic association scores (JOA) was used for functional assessment. Scores measured 2/11, 5/11, 2/11, and 4/11 for each patient. The ventral T-OPLL mass was exposed after posterior midline approach, laminotomy and transeversectomy. The T-OPLL mass was directly removed with an ultrasonic osteotome and instrumented segmental fixation was performed. The surgeries were uneventful. Detailed surgical techniques were presented. Gait disturbance was improved in all patients. Dural tear occurred in one patient without squeal. Postoperative JOA was 6/11, 10/11, 8/11, and 8/11 (recovery rate; 44%, 83%, 67%, and 43%) respectively at 18, 18, 10, and 1 months postoperative. T-OPLL was completely removed in all patients as confirmed with computed tomography scan. We hope that surgical difficulties in direct removal of T-OPLL might be reduced by utilizing ultrasonic osteotome.

  • A eight-month-old blue and yellow macaw (Ara ararauna) with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD)-suspected signs, such as, abnormal feather, depression and diarrhea, was presented to Animal Disease Intervention Center, Kyungpook National University in 16 April 2014. The partial ORF V1 gene of PBFD virus (PBFDV) was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from DNA templates extracted from feather, blood and cloacal swab sample of the bird, but no other viral DNAs that often infected in psittacine birds including avian bornavirus and avian polyomavirus were detected from the samples of the bird, indicating this case is due to single infection of PBFDV. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the amplified partial ORF V1 gene was confirmed to have 96.7% and 93.6% homology with that of previously reported PBFDV strain (Genbank no. HM748924 and FJ685980). This report describes the first detection of PBFDV in PBFD-suspected blue and yellow macaw in Korea.

  • Room Temperature Plasma Nitridation of silicon was investigated as a new LOCOS (local oxidation of silicon) process in order to reduce the bird's beak length. In $N_2$ plasma formed by 100kHz, 400W AC power, a thin silicon nitride film (<100${\AA}$) was uniformly grown on a silicon substrate. SEM studies showed that the nitride layer formed by this method can effectively protect the silicon from oxidation and reduce the bird's beak length to $0.2{mu}m$ when 4000${\AA}$ field oxide is grown. This is a considerable improvement comparing with 0.7${mu}m,$ the bird's beak, for the conventional LOCOS process using a thick LPCVD nitride. No appreciable crystalline defect could be found around the bird's beak with SEM cross-section afrer Secco etch. Leakage current tests were carried out on the $N^+/P^-$ well and $P^+/N^-$ well diodes formed by this new LOCOS process. The electrical tests indicate that this new process has electrical properties similar or superior to those of the conventional LOCOS process.

  • The purpose of this study is to clarify the adap-tation of traditional beauty of dress in Baek Eui for the establishment of tradition of dress culture. Especially, the color of the traditional dress rep-resent a symbol which is connedted with the na-tional character and the evvironment. But it is hard to examine closely because color preference are transformend with the times. This study is framed within the limits of the next themes : the origin, history and meaning of the Baek Eui ; the philosophical theory of cosmic Five Elements and the Prohibition of Baek Eui ; the beauty of Baek Eui. As the national character is indicative of the conservativeness and the purity, Koreans have kept up wearing Baek Eui spite of the occasional prohibition. Since the color of the dress represen-tatived the signs of the social class and the power, over the eighty persent of the common people put on the Beak Eui : ramie and flax fabrics that has it's own color in Chosun-Dynasty. I think that the use of natural color harmony is prominent and the beauty of Baek Eui is the naturality and the non-artificiality. The meaning of the symbol on the Korean Beak Eui is the divinity, the holiness, the purity, the cleanliness, the modesty, the frugality, the integ-rity, the constancy, the elegance, the simplicity.
