This study was performed at Rice and Winter Cereal Crops Department of NICS during 2007 and 2008 to investigate the characteristics of rice leaf emergence and to obtain basic data which can be used for rice growth simulation model by which we can forecast rice growth stage and heading date accurately under different cultivars, transplanting date, and climatic conditions. To confirm leaf emergence rate according to rice maturing ecotype, we surveyed the leaf emergence rate and heading date of Unkwangbyeo, Hwayoungbyeo and Nampyeongbyeo which are early maturing, medium maturing and medium-late maturing cultivars, respectively, according to seedling raising duration and transplanting time. When seedling duration was 15 days, the growth duration between transplanting time and completion of flag leaf emergence on main culm were 51.5~78.3 days in Unkwangbyeo, 55.3~87.9 days in Hwayoungbyeo and 58.4~98.4 days in Nampyeongbyeo, respectively. When seedling duration was 30 days, they were 50.1~75.5 days in Unkwangbyeo, 52.4~84.7 days in Hwayoungbyeo and 56.4~93.8 days in Nampyeongbyeo, respectively. As transplanting time delayed, the emerged leaf number after transplanting decreased in all rice cultivars. The cumulative temperature between transplanting time to completion of flag leaf elongation on main culm were $1,281^{\circ}C{\sim}1,650^{\circ}C$ in Unkwangbyeo, $1,344^{\circ}C{\sim}1,891^{\circ}C$ in Hwayoungbyeo and $1,454^{\circ}C{\sim}2,173^{\circ}C$ in Nampyeongbyeo, respectively. Leaf emergence rate on main culm were precisely represented by equation, y = $y_0$ + a / [1 + exp( - (x - $x_0$) / b)]^c, when we used daily mean temperature as variable.

This study was conducted to determine the rumen fermentation dynamics of lupin flakes and elucidate the effects of lupin flake supplementation on the growth performance, blood metabolites, and carcass characteristics of Hanwoo steers. In vitro and in situ trials of lupin grains and lupin flakes were conducted using three Hanwoo cows with rumen fistulas. The feeding trial included 40 early-fattening Hanwoo steers randomly divided into four groups: control, T1, T2, and T3. Their formula feed contained 0%, 3%, 6%, and 9% lupin flakes, respectively. In vitro rumen pH and ammonia concentrations were lower in the lupin flake group than in the lupin grain group after 6 and 24 h of incubation, respectively (p < 0.05). Concentrations of propionate, butyrate, and total volatile fatty acids were higher in the lupin flake group than in the lupin grain group after 12 h of incubation (p < 0.05), as was the crude protein disappearance rate at 9 and 12 h of rumen fermentation (p < 0.05). Supplementation with lupin flakes did not affect the average daily gain. Compared to that in the control group, dry matter intake was lower in the lupin flake-supplemented groups (p < 0.05); the feed conversion ratio was lower in T2 and T3 (p < 0.05); and plasma total protein concentration in 29-month-old steers was lower in T1 and T3 (p < 0.05). Plasma triglyceride concentration was lower in the lupin flake-supplemented groups than in the control group (p < 0.05). The incidence rate of yield grade A was higher in T1 and T2 than in the control group; the incidence rate of meat quality 1⁺ grade or higher was highest in T2. The carcass auction price was higher in T2 than in the other groups. Overall, compared to whole lupin grains, lupin flakes seem to more substantially affect rumen ammonia concentrations and crude protein disappearance rate. Additionally, we suggest that supplementation with 6% lupin flake formula feed exerts positive effects on the feed conversion ratio, yield grade, and quality grade of Hanwoo steers.

The Fuji variety of apple, introduced in Japan, has excellent storage quality and good taste, such that it is the most commonly cultivated apple variety in Gunwi County, North Gyeongsang Province, Korean Peninsula. Accurate prediction of harvest maturity allows farmers to more efficiently manage their farm in important aspects such as working time, fruit storage, market shipment, and labor distribution. Temperature is one of the most important factors that determine plant growth, development, and yield. This paper reports on the beta distribution (function) model that can be used to simulate the the phenological response of plants to temperature. The beta function, commonly used as a skewed probability density in statistics, was introduced to estimate apple harvest maturity as a function of temperature in this study. The model parameters were daily maximum temperature, daily optimum temperature, and maximum growth rate. They were estimated from the input data of daily maximum and minimum temperature and apple harvest maturity. The difference in observed and predicted maturity day from 2009 to 2012, with optimal parameters, was from two days earlier to one day later.

Development of a biomarker for predicting tumor-treatment efficacy is a matter of great concern, to reduce time, medical expense, and effort in oncology therapy. In a preclinical study, we hypothesized that the blood-flow parameter based on laser speckle flowmetry (LSF) could be a potential indicator to estimate the efficacy of breast-cancer treatment. To verify this hypothesis, a 13762-MAT-B-III rat breast tumor was grown in a dorsal skinfold window chamber applied to a nude mouse, and the change in blood flow rate (BFR) - or the speckle flow index (SFI) is used together as the same meaning in this manuscript - was longitudinally monitored during tumor growth and metronomic cyclophosphamide treatment. Based on the daily LSF angiogram, several BFR parameters (baseline SFI, normalized SFI, and △rBFR) were compared to tumor size in the normal, treated, and untreated tumor groups. Despite the incomplete tumor treatment, we found that the daily changes in all BFR parameters tended to have partially positive correlation with tumor size. Moreover, we observed that the changes in baseline SFI and normalized SFI responded one day earlier than the tumor shrinkage during chemotherapy. However, daily variations in the hypercapnia-induced △rBFR lagged tumor shrinkage by one day. This study would contribute not only to evaluating tumor vascular response to treatment, but also to monitoring blood-flow-mediated diseases (in brain, skin, and retina) by using LSF in preclinical settings.

The present study was conducted to examine the feasibility of utilising bamboo (Bambusa arundinacea) shoot shell (BSS) in ruminants. Chemical composition, rumen degradability and some antinutritional compounds were determined for fresh and boiled BSSs to evaluate its feed value and safety. Thirty-two Holstein heifers were allocated to four groups and used to investigate the response in growth rate to supplementing ammoniated rice straw with fresh shell (phase 1) or silage of boiled BSS (phase 2). All animals were offered ammoniated straw ad libitum with 1kg of cotton seed meal (phase 1) or 0.5 kg of cotton seed meal and 0.5 kg of concentrate mixture (phase 2) per head per day. The BSS was supplemented at levels of 0, 3, 6 or 9 kg/d (phase 1) and 0, 5, 10 or 15 kg/d (phase 2) (as fed basis). The BSS was very high in moisture content, and its contents of crude protein and neutral detergent fiber were 13~16% DM and 65~76% DM, respectively; boiling resulting in higher moisture and protein. No hydrocyanic acid was detected in both BSSs and content of tannins was negligible. Rumen degradability of BSS was reasonably high, and with boiling the rapidly degradable fraction decreased, and potentially degradable component increased. Silage of the boiled BSS was slightly lower in both rapidly and slowly degraded fractions than the fresh BSS. Animals consumed all supplemented BSSs without any adverse health problems. Intake of ammoniated straw decreased with the increasing levels of BSS, but total intake was higher in almost all supplementary groups than in the non-BSS. Heifers had a higher growth rate in phase 1 with fresh BSS than in phase 2 with ensiled shell, and daily weight gains were 622, 629, 744 or 690 g in phase 1, and 578, 575, 677 or 635 g in phase 2 at four BSS levels, respectively. For both phases growth rate was significantly higher for the animals in groups 3 and 4 than those in groups 1 and 2 (p<0.01), with little difference between groups 1 and 2 (p>0.05) but significant difference between groups 3 and 4 (p<0.05). Supplementation with BSS also resulted in an improved feed conversion rate, with the least concentrate consumption in group 3 for both phases. It is concluded that the BSS has a high potential nutritional value as indicated by its medium protein content, reasonably high rumen degradability, and that inclusion of BSS in ammoniated rice straw diet is not only safe to animals, but also may improve growth rate of ruminants and feed conversion rate. It may be disadvantageous to use high amounts of BSS in ammoniated straw diets.

본 연구에서는 육상 수조에서 중간 양성 시 공급되는 상업용 북방전복 배합사료를 저수온이 유지되는 동계기간에 공급량을 다르게 할 시 성장특성을 조사하였다. 실험어는 1년생 전복치패 (평균 각장 $29.14{\pm}2.56mm$, 중량 $2.9{\pm}0.6g$) 를 사용하였으며, 실험구는 총체중에 대한 일일 먹이공급율 (the daily feeding rate about total weight, DFW) 을 각 수조에 수용된 실험전복 치패 (250 마리) 총체중의 0.75%, 1.50%, 2.25%. 3.00%. 3.75%, 4.50%로 공급되도록 총 6개 구간을 설정 (0.75 DFW, 1.50 DFW, 2.25 DFW, 3.00 DFW, 3.75 DFW, 4.5 DFW) 하였으며, 실험구는 모두 2반복으로 실시되었다. 실험기간인 동계기간에 평균수온은 $9.7{\pm}3.27^{\circ}C$이었으며. 월별 각장과 각장 성장률 (AGRSL) 및 순간성장률 (SGRSL) 은 1월에는 1.50 DFW 와 2.25 DFW, 3.75 DFW 가 0.75 DFW, 3.00 DFW 보다 유의적으로 높았으며 (P < 0.05), 월별 체중변화 3월에 3.75 DFW 가 모든 실험구보다 유의적으로 높았고 (P < 0.05), 월별 중중률변화에서는 3.75 DFW 가 실험구보다 0.75 DFW 와 1.50 DFW 보다 유의적으로 높았다 (P < 0.05). 열단위성장계수 (TGC) 에서는 1월부터 급격히 낮아졌으며, 3.75 DFW 가 모든 실험구보다 높은 값을 보였다, 1월에는 3.75 DFW 가 0.75 DFW, 1.50 DFW 보다 높았으며 (P < 0.05), 다른 실험구와 유의적 차이는 없었다. 2월에는 3.75 DFW 가 2.25 DFW, 4.50 DFW 를 제외한 모든 실험구보다 유의적으로 높았고 (P < 0.05), 3월에는 3.75 DFW 가 4.50 DFW 를 제외한 모든 실험구보다 높았다 (P < 0.05). 월별 사료효율에서는 12월에 0.75 DFW 가 모든 실험구보다 유의적으로 높았으나 (P < 0.05), 이후 1월을 제외한 2월과 3월에는 모든 실험구간 유의적 차이는 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 북방전복 치패를 육상수조에서 동계기간 내 사육 시 상업용 배합사료는 일정량 이상을 공급하는 것이 육중량을 유지 또는 일부 증가시킬 수 있으며, 향후 동계기간의 사료공급율에 따른 육중량의 변화가 수온상승기에 가져올 수 있는 성장 변화를 연결하여 조사할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

방글라데시 미멘싱에 소재하는 양식어장에서 pangasiid catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)와 catla (Catla catla)의 조합과 혼합비를 달리하여 16주간 복합양식하였을 때, 이들 어종의 성장률을 조사하였다. 헥타르당 30,000개체의 밀도로 복합양식하여 성장률을 측정하였으며, 혼합조성비는 다음과 같다: 실험구(treatment) 1은 pangasiid catfish와 silver carp을 1:1비율로, 실험구 2는 pangasiid catfish와 cata를 1:1비율로, 실험구 3과 4는 pangasiid catfish, silver carp과 catla를 각각 2:1:1과 3:2:1비율로 복합양식하였다. 양식환경에 영향을 주는 수온, 투명도, 용존산소량, pH, $NO_{3}-N$, $PO_{4}-P$, 엽록소 a와 같은 몇몇 물리화학적, 생물학적 요인과 플랑크톤의 군집을 정기적으로 조사하였다. 어류의 성장속도는 비 성장율(specific growth rate), 일간 체중 증가(daily weight gain)와 체중증가 비율(percent weight gain)을 측정하였다. Pangasiid catfish의 성장률과 사료이용률은 모든 실험구에서 유사하게 나타났다. Silver carp의 성장률은 모든 실험구에서 유의한 차이를 나타내었는데(p<0.05), 양식밀도가 증가할수록 성장률이 현저하게 감소하였으며, Silver carp의 밀도가 가장 낮은 복합양식 조성인 pangasiid catfish, silver carp과 catla의 비율이 각각 2:1:1일 때, silver carp의 성장률이 가장 높게 나타났다. Silver carp의 밀도가 증가할수록 catla의 성장률이 현저하게 감소하는 것으로 나타나, catla의 성장률은 silver carp의 유무에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단되었다. Catla의 성장률은 pangasiid catfish와 calta의 비율이 1:1일 때, 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 양식수율과 경제적 이익은 실험구에 따라 현저하게 다른 양상을 보였다(p<0.05). 가장 높은 양식수율과 경제적 이익은 pangasiid catfish, silver carp과 catla를 각각 2:1:1 비율로 양식한 결과에서 얻어졌는데, 이는 silver carp의 높은 성장률과 catla의 시장 단가가 높은 것에 기인하는 것으로 나타났다. 모든 실험구의 수질 상태는 양식기간 동안 적절한 수준을 유지하였으며, 각각의 값은 모든 실험구에서 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p<0.05).

To study the influence of background color and substratum on hypermelanosis of starry flounder, we compared the daily food intake (DFI), the feed efficiency (FE), the survival, the growth, the ratio of pigmented area on the blind side and the ratio of hypermelanic fish duplicately reared for 180 days in dark-green FRP aquarium (control), white FRP aquarium together with dark-green substratum. The ratio of pigmented area on the blind side was significantly higher at the dark-green group than at the white group. DFI, FE and growth were higher in the dark-green substratum. Pigmented area rate and ratio of hypermelanic fish were significantly higher at the dark green group than at the high dark-green substratum. The results suggest that bright tank color and substratum bottom could inhibit the hypermelanosis.
