  • Fifteen lactating crossbred cows were randomly allotted to three groups of 5 each, and fed three isoproteinous concentrate mixture varying in RDP and UDP ratios, viz. 71: 29 (T1) and 58: 42 (T2) and 44: 56 (T3), along with green maize and wheat straw given as 2/3 and 1/3 of total roughage respectively, for a period of 120 days. The DM intake (kg/d) differed significantly (p<0.01) among the treatments as well as among the fortnights over a period of 120 days. DMI (kg/d) progressively increased from first to eighth fortnight in all the treatments. The daily DMI (% BW) was significantly (p<0.01) lower in T1 (2.37) than those of T2 (2.82) and T3 (2.67). The body weights of cows decreased up to 4th fortnight in T1 and up to 3rd fortnight in T2 and T3, then it showed an increasing trend till the end of the experiment in all the treatments. Cows in T1 lost 10 kg body weight but cows in T2 and T3 gained 23 and 12 kg the body weight, respectively. Both the milk and FCM yield differed significantly (p<0.01) among the fortnights. The FCM yield increased up to 2nd fortnight in all the treatments and thereafter, the FCM yield declined gradually as the lactation advanced. The FCM yield (kg/d) was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T3 (10.47) than in T2 (9.81) and T1 (9.68), however, milk yield, SCM yield and milk energy yield did not differ among the treatments as well as among the fortnights. Fat and protein % in milk increased as the lactation advanced. However, fortnightly SNF % in milk showed an irregular trend. The % fat, protein, SNF and total solids in milk differed significantly (p<0.01) among the fortnights. The % fat and protein in milk varied significantly (p<0.01) among the treatments, being lowest in T1 and highest in T3. The feed efficiency for milk production showed a non-significant variation among the treatments as well as among the fortnights, but increased with the increase in UDP level. It is concluded that by increasing the UDP level from 29 to 56 per cent of CP in the diet of medium producing cows, the milk production increases and cost of milk production reduces.

  • The number of modernized green houses have been increased to produce high quality and high-payoff farm products. The unit investment costs per pyeong($3.3058m^2$) for building a glass house was estimated at 449 thousand won. On the other hand, the unit prices for the PC house with iron frame and the vynil house with automatic control system were revealed 365 thousand won and 93 thousand won respectively. The main objective of the study was to identify the financial feasibility of the green house investment prevailed in rural area. At present, some farmers have selected the green house without any consideration of profitability of crops and accessiblity of their fanning practices and technology. For the soundness of green house cultivation and management, the indices of finacial efficiency for the modernized green houses were necessary. The decesion making criteria such as NPV(Net Present Value), IRR(Internal Rate of Return), B/C Ratio and Payback Period were analyzed for the individual high investment facilities considering the present farmer's technology and on-farm benefits and costs. The results of the feasibility analysis of green houses were as follows: 1. In case of 100% private burden of the investment costs, NPV revealed only positive value for the vinyl house with automatic system and IRR for the house was also estimated at more than 10% and B/C Ratio was amounted to more than 1.0. On the other hand, the other glass and PC houses showed negative NPV and unacceptable B/C ratio and IRR. 2. In case of the following terms and conditions as 50% Government subsidy, 20% loans and 30% farmers burden of the total investment cost, all the green houses showed acceptable IRR, B/C Ratio and NPV. 3. The financial feasibility of the glass house was acceptable in tomato cultivation rather than in cucumber cultivation. The payback periods of cucumber were represented as 8.9 years for glass house, 8.5 years for PC house and 4.1 years for vinyl house with automatic system respectively. In conclution, the glass and PC house cultivation of high value vegetables were only acceptable under the Goverment subsidy and loan systems from the view point of farmer's financial situations. On account of the unacceptable economic rate of return, the government subsidy and loan policy for glass house cultivation should be transfered to the vinyl and pc houses in the future.

  • Ingrowing toenail has been treated conventionally by various surgical treatment modlities. However, none of these procedures are perfect to achieve esthetic results with low cost, recurrence, and complication rates. Although mild cases can be treated conservatively, in severe recurrent cases, surgical treatment is preferred. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using partial matricectomy and paronychial advancement flap for correction of recurrent ingrowing toenail. Eight patients suffering from recurrent ingrowing toenail were operated using partial matricectomy and paronychial advancement flap in our department from August 2004 to August 2005. The number of recurrent episodes ranged from 2 to 5. With digital nerve block, the excision area was marked on nailplate and inflammed lateral nail fold. The horizontally designed paronychial flap considering defect size was effective for wide exposure of the neighboring germinal matrix, which is later to be completely excised or cauterized because remnant germinal matrix made postoperative spicule formation. The nailplate on the affected side was removed about 3-5 mm width longitudinally, being cautious not to damage the proximal dorsal nail fold. The same width of the sterile matrix including germinal matrix was excised longitudinally with inflammed granulation tissue and partial lateral nail fold on the affected side. The subcutaneously elevated paronychial flap was advanced to cover the defect and was anatomically sutured with 5-0 nylon sutures. We evaluated our procedure's effectiveness by examining some factors such as cosmetic results, recurrence, spicule formation, postoperative pain and duration of return to normal activities. In eight patients, no complication was observed such as recurrence, severe pain and spicule formation except for 1 case of infection. Postoperative discomfort was minimal. Average duration of return to normal activities was 12 days. Cosmetically the results were acceptable in all patients. The partial matricectomy and paronychial advancement flap for correction of recurrent ingrowing toenail were found to be technically simple, efficient procedure with a relative low recurrence rate and better cosmetic results.

  • The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different physical forms and urea treatment of rice straw on feed intake, rumen fermentation, and milk production. Four, multiparous Holstein crossbred dairy cows in mid-lactation with initial body weight (BW) of $409{\pm}20kg$ were randomly assigned according to a $4{\times}4$ Latin square design to receive four dietary treatments. The dietary treatments were as follows: untreated, long form rice straw (LRS), urea-treated (5%), long form rice straw (5% ULRS), urea-treated (2.5%), long form rice straw (2.5% ULRS) and urea-treated (2.5%), chopped (4 cm) rice straw (2.5% UCRS). Cows were fed with concentrate diets at a ratio of concentrate to milk yield of 1:2 and rice straw was fed ad libitum. The findings revealed significant improvements in total DM intake and digestibility by using long and short forms of urea-treated rice straw (p<0.05). Ruminal pH was not altered among all treatments (p>0.05), whereas ruminal $NH_3$-N, BUN and MUN were found to be increased (p<0.01) by urea-treated rice straw as compared with untreated rice straw. Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentrations especially those of acetic acid were decreased (p<0.05) and those of propionic acid were increased (p<0.05), thus acetic acid:propionic acid was subsequently lowered (p<0.05) in cows fed with long or short forms of urea-treated rice straw. The 2.5% ULRS and 2.5% UCRS had greater microbial protein synthesis and was greatest when cows were fed with 5% ULRS. The urea-treated rice straw fed groups had increased milk yield (p<0.05), while lower feed cost and greater economic return was in the 2.5% ULRS and 2.5% UCRS (p<0.01). From these results, it could be concluded that 2.5% ULRS could replace 5% ULRS used as a roughage source to maintain feed intake, rumen fermentation, efficiency of microbial protein synthesis, milk production and economical return in mid-lactating dairy cows.

  • The association between accounting earnings and the stock price of an entity is the subject that has been most heavily researched during the past 25 years in accounting literature. Researcher's common finding is that there are positive relationships between accounting earnings and stock prices. However, the explanatory power of accounting earnings which was measured by $R^2$ of regression functions used was rather low. To be connected with these low results, The prior studies propose that there will be additional information, errors in variables. This study investigates empirically determinants of earnings response coefficients(ERCs), which measure the correlation between earnings and stock prices, using earnings level / change, as the dependent variable in the return/earnings regression. Specifically, the thesis tests whether the factors such as earnings persistence, growth, systematic risk, image, information asymmetry and firm size. specially, the determinable variables of ERC are explained in detail. The image / information asymmetry variables are selected to be connected with additional information stand point, The debt / growth variables are selected to be connected with errors in variables. In this study, The sample of firms, listed in Korean Stock Exchange was drawn from the KIS-DATA and was required to meet the following criteria: (1) Annual accounting earnings were available over the 1986-1999 period on the KIS-FAS to allow computation of variables parameter; (2) sufficient return data for estimation of market model parameters were available on the KIS-SMAT month returns: (3) each firm had a fiscal year ending in December throughout the study period. Implementation of these criteria yielded a sample of 1,141 firm-year observation over the 10-year(1990-1999) period. A conventional regression specification would use stock returns(abnormal returns) as a dependent variable and accounting earnings(unexpected earnings) changes interacted with other factors as independent variables. In this study, I examined the relation between other factors and the RRC by using reverse regression. For an empirical test, eight hypotheses(including six lower-hypotheses) were tested. The results of the performed empirical analysis can be summarized as follows; The first, The relationship between persistence of earnings and ERC have significance of each by itself, this result accord with one of the prior studies. The second, The relationship between growth and ERC have not significance. The third, The relationship between image and ERC have significance of each by itself, but a forecast code doesn't present. This fact shows that image cost does not effect on market management share, is used to prevent market occupancy decrease. The fourth, The relationship between information asymmetry variable and ERC have significance of each by. The fifth, The relationship between systematic risk$(\beta)$ and ERC have not significance. The sixth, The relationship between debt ratio and ERC have significance of each by itself, but a forecast code doesn't present. This fact is judged that it is due to the effect of financial leverage effect and a tendency of interest.

  • High potassium cardioplegia is a widely accepted procedure to enhance myocardial protection from ischemic injuries associated with open heart surgery. Maintaining optimum osmolarity of the cardioplegic solution is one of the required conditions for an ideal cardioplegic solution Albumin is an frequently added component for maintaining optimum osmolarity of clinically used cardioplegic solutions. But the source of albumin is human blood so that the supply is limited and the cost of manufacturing is relatively high. Recently there are moves to minimized the use of blood product for fear of blood-associated infections or immunological disorders. In this experiment, we substituted mannitol or glucose for albumin added to the cardioplegic solution which has been used at the Wonju Medical College, To determine whether addition of mannitol or glucose instead of albumin in the cardioplegic solution can produce satisfactory myocardial protection during ischemia, three different groups of isolated rat heart perfused by modified Langendorff technique were studied. Wonju Cardioplegic Solution was selected as a standard high potassium[18mEq/L of K+] cardioplegic solution. Three kinds of cardioplegic solution were made by modifying the composition maintaining the same osmolarity[339$\pm$1mOsm/Kg] Isolated rat heart were perfused initially with retrograde nonworking mode and then changed to working mode. After measuring the heart rate, systolic aortic pressure, aortic flow, coronary flow, ischemic arrest by aorta cross clamp and cardioplegia was made maintaining the temperature of water jacket at 10oC. The heart was rewarmed and reperfused after 60min of ischemic arrest with intermittent cardioplegia at the 30min interval. The time to return of heart beat and the time required to get. Regular heart beat were observed after reperfusion. The recovery rate of the functional variables-heart rate, systolic aortic pressure, aortic flow, coronary flow and cardiac output were calculated and compared among the three groups of different cardioplegia-albumin, mannitol, and glucose. The wet weight and dry weight was measured and the water content of the heart as figured out for comparison. The time to return of heart beat was fastest in the albumin group, The functional recovery rates were best in the albumin group also. In the above conditions, albumin was the best additive to the cardioplegic solution compared to the mannitol or glucose.

  • Purpose: Ligament reattachment technique using a suture anchor appears to show satisfactory functional outcomes and mechanical stability compared with conventional bone tunnel technique. This study was prospectively conducted in order to evaluate functional outcomes of modified Brostrom procedures using the suture bridge technique for chronic ankle instability in athletes. Materials and Methods: Twenty eight athletes under 30 years of age were followed for more than two years after undergoing the modified Brostrom procedure using the suture bridge technique. Functional evaluation consisted of the foot and ankle outcome score (FAOS), foot and ankle ability measure (FAAM) score. Range of motion and time to return to exercise were evaluated using a periodic questionnaire. Talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation were measured through stress radiographs for evaluation of mechanical stability. Results: FAOS improved significantly from preoperative mean 59.4 points to 91.4 points (p<0.001). Daily living and sport activity scores of FAAM improved significantly from preoperative mean 50.5, 32.5 points to 94.8, 87.3 points, respectively (p<0.001). Talar tilt angle and anterior talar translation improved significantly from preoperative mean $16.8^{\circ}$, 13.5 mm to $4.2^{\circ}$, 4.1 mm at final follow-up (p<0.001). Times to return to exercise were as follows: mean 10.2 weeks in jogging, 15.4 weeks in spurt running, 13.1 weeks in jumping, 11.5 weeks in walking on uneven ground, 9.1 weeks in standing on one leg, 7.2 weeks in tip-toeing gait, 8.4 weeks in squatting, and 10.6 weeks in descending stairs. Conclusion: Modified Brostrom procedure using the suture bridge technique showed satisfactory functional outcomes for chronic ankle instability in athletes. Optimal indication and cost-effectiveness of the suture bridge technique will be studied in the future.

  • 버퍼 오버플로우 공격은 Code Red나 SQL Stammer와 같은 최근의 웜의 발발에서 알 수 있는 것과 같이 가장 강력하고 치명적인 형태의 악성 코드 공격이다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격은 일반적으로 시스템에 비정상적인 증상들을 유발한다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격에 대한 기존의 대처방안들은 심각한 성능 저하를 초래하거나, 다양한 형태의 버퍼 오버플로우 공격을 모두 방지하지 못했으며, 특히 일반적으로 사용되는 소프트웨어 패치를 사용하는 방법은 버퍼 오버플로우 입의 확산을 효과적으로 차단하지 못한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 적은 하드웨어 비용과 성능 저하만으로 거의 모든 악성 코드 공격을 탐지하고 피해를 복구할 수 있도록 하는 복귀 주소 포인터 스택 (Return Address Pointer Stack: RAPS) 과 변조 복구 버퍼 (Corruption Recovery Buffer: CRB)라는 마이크로 구조 기술들을 제안한다. 버퍼 오버플로우 공격으로 인한 비정상적인 증상들은 RAPS를 통해 프로세스 실행 중 메모리 참조의 안전성을 점검함으로써 쉽게 탐지될 수 있으며, 이는 그러한 공격들에 의한 잠재적인 데이타 흑은 제어 변조를 피하는 것을 가능하게 한다. 안전 점검 장치의 사용으로 인한 하드웨어 비용과 성능 손실은 거의 발생하지 않는다. 또한, RAPS에 비해 더욱 강도 높은 방법인 CRB를 이용하여 보안 수준을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 변조 복구 버퍼는 안전 점검 장치와 결합되어 버퍼 오버플로우 공격에 의해 발생했을 가능성이 있는 의심스러운 쓰기들을 저장함으로써 공격이 탐지되는 경우 메모리의 상태를 공격 이전의 상태로 복구시킬 수 있다. SPEC CPU2000 벤치마크 중에서 선정한 프로그램들에 대해 상세한 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써, 제안된 마이크로구조 기술들의 효율성을 평가할 수 있다. 실험 결과는 안전 점검 장치를 사용하여 공격으로 인한 복귀 주소 변조로부터 스택 영역을 방어하는 것이 시스템의 이상 증상들을 상당 부분 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 또한, 1KB 크기의 작은 변조 복구 버퍼를 안전 점검 장치와 함께 사용할 경우 스택 스매싱 공격으로 인해 발생하는 추가적인 데이타 변조들까지 막아낼 수가 있는데, 이로 인한 성능 저하는 2% 미만에 불과하다.

  • 본 연구는 강원도의 수갱과 함백갱에서 배출되는 광산배수를 소석회($Ca(OH)_2$)를 이용하여 중화처리하기 위하여 실시하였다. 소석회의 중화능력을 검토한 결과 수갱과 함백갱에서 배출되는 광산배수 1 L당 0.295 g의 소석회를 투여하였을때 pH는 각각 9.5와 8.4로 유지되어 배출수 방류기준을 만족시켰다. 처리공정에서 발생되는 슬러지를 10~50% 반송한 결과 중화능력은 크게 증진시키지 못하였으며, 오히려 $SO{_4}^{-2}$ 농도는 증가하였다. 슬러지를 30% 반송하였을 때에는 유출수 SS 농도를 감소시킬 수 있었다. $SO{_4}^{-2}$ 농도를 저감시키기 위하여 소석회로 처리된 광산배수 1 L당 0.1 M $BaCl_2$를 100 mL 투여하자 90% 이상이 제거되었다. 유출수의 pH, Fe, 그리고 $SO{_4}^{-2}$를 분석한 결과 중화반응조의 pH와 슬러지반송율은 각각 9.5와 30%로 유지하는 것이 가장 효과적이었다. 수산화나트륨 대신에 소석회를 사용할 경우 유지관리비에서는 31.4%, 시설비에서는 29.8%의 비용감소 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • IP계층에서의 이동성 지원에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어, Internet Engineering Task Force(IETF)에서 Mobile IPv6(MIPv6) 프로토콜이 표준화 되었다. 이러한 MIPv6은 이동노드가 서브넷 사이를 이동할 때, 네트워크에 대한 연결성을 유지하여 끊김 없는 통신을 가능하게 해주며 이러한 과정을 핸드오버라고 한다. 이동노드가 서브넷 사이를 이동할 때마다 핸드오버 처리를 수행하게 되는데, 이러한 핸드오버 처리 동안에는 이동노드가 통신을 할 수 없는 긴 지연시간이 생긴다. 이러한 지연시간을 줄이기 위해서 IETF에서 Fast Handovers for Mobile IPv6(FMIPv6)를 표준화하였다. 하지만 FMIPv6 또한 홈에이전트와 상대노드에게 바인딩을 갱신하기 위한 시간은 길게 남아 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 2계층 프로토콜로 IEEE 802.11을 사용하는 FMIPv6을 기반으로 하여 2계층 핸드오버 수행 중에 3계층 핸드오버 과정인 홈에이전트로의 바인딩 갱신과 Return Routability 과정을 미리 시작하여 전체적인 핸드오버 지연시간을 단축시키는 방법을 제안한다. 수학적인 비용 분석 방법을 통하여 제안하는 방법을 MIPv6과 FMIPv6의 방법과 비교 분석하였으며, MIPv6에 비하여 79%, FIMPv6에 비하여 31%의 성능 향상을 얻었다.
