Miniature pig (minipig) has been considered as an important laboratory animal in the developmental biotechnology researches with respect to xenotransplantation, stem cell, somatic cell nuclear transfer and embryo transfer. Given that the laboratory minipigs are normally housed at an indoor facility, they pass the time with lying or sleeping unless it is feeding time. Therefore, it is necessary to provide environmental enrichments to satisfy their innate needs and to lessen atypical behaviors caused by stress, on the purpose of welfare. We quantitatively investigated the type of preferable enrichment for the laboratory minipigs as well as its effect on their daily life. They presented a great interest to the pliable pail but a rapid loss of attraction to non-preferable enrichments. When the daily life of the single housed minipigs was quantified based on duration of playing or resting, they were more actively engaged in lively activities in the presence of enrichments. In addition, the provision of enrichments could effectively alleviate the conflicts during group housing when new pen mate was introduced, resulting in reduction of wound cases. We believe the considerations of animal welfare are essential to the conduct of better research because animals in the non-stressful environment will be more physiologically stable and provide more reliable results in the animal experiments.

Numerical simulations are performed at atmospheric pressure in order to understand the effect of additives on flame speed and the NOx formation in freely propagating $H_{2}/O_{2}/N_{2}$ flames with oxygen enrichments. A chemical kinetic mechanism is developed, which involves 26 gas-phase species and 99 reactions. Under several equivalence ratios and oxygen enrichments, flame speeds are calculated and compared with those obtained from the experiments, the results of which is in good agreement. As hydrogen chloride as additive is added into $H_{2}/O_{2}/N_{2}$ flames with low oxygen enrichments, its chemical effect causes the decrease of flame speed, radical concentration, and the NO production rate. It is found that the chemical effect of additive has much more influence on the reduction of EINO than its physical effect. However, in flames with very high flame temperature the physical effect rather than the chemical effect becomes more important on the reduction of EINO.

In this paper, a multi-scale meshfree-enriched finite element formulation is presented for the analysis of acoustic wave propagation problem. The scale splitting in this formulation is based on the Variational Multi-scale (VMS) method. While the standard finite element polynomials are used to represent the coarse scales, the approximation of fine-scale solution is defined globally using the meshfree enrichments generated from the Generalized Meshfree (GMF) approximation. The resultant fine-scale approximations satisfy the homogenous Dirichlet boundary conditions and behave as the "global residual-free" bubbles for the enrichments in the oscillatory type of Helmholtz solutions. Numerical examples in one dimension and two dimensional cases are analyzed to demonstrate the accuracy of the present formulation and comparison is made to the analytical and two finite element solutions.

The fractional synthesis rates(FSR) were measured with 2l-wk and 3l-wk-old broiler breeder pullets and hens to investigate the effect of sexual maturity on FSR. The FSR were obtained from chicken tissues and blood samples using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry(HPLC/MS). A L-l-13C, 15N -leucine saline solution was infused by bolus injection as a tracer into broiler breeder pullets in the experiment. A rapid HPLC/MS method was developed to measure the isotopic enrichments of leucine in plasma, tissue samples, and eggs. The enrichments of stable isotope leucine incorporated into protein and the enrichments of the stable isotope free leucine were measured in liver, breast muscle and blood samples. Two sets of experiments were conducted. In experiment one, 2l-wk-old, sexually immature broiler breeder pullets were divided into groups of three and blood samples were collected at 20 or 30 min intervals until 1.5 h from initial injection. The pullets were sacrificed in groups of three at varying time intervals for 7 h after injection. The liver, breast muscle and blood samples were removed for analysis. The FSR were estimated to be 8.7l%/day for liver, 4.06％/day for breast muscle, and 5.08％/day for blood samples in 30 minutes after injection from the enrichment ratios. In experiment two, sexually matured 3l-wk-old broiler breeder hens were assorted into groups of three and blood samples were obtained at 20 or 30 min intervals for 2 h. The FSR for blood samples were determined. The broiler breeder hens were sacrificed in groups of three at various time intervals until 7 h after injection and liver, breast muscle and blood samples were removed for analysis. The FSR were calculated to be 5.96％/day for liver. Eggs were collected from five chickens daily for 10 days after large bolus injection. The average of total enrichments of stable isotope in egg albumin was increased by 0.064% at 4 days after injection and was back to normal in 7 days.

In this study, glucose and glutamate (copiotrophic conditions) were used to enrich electrochemically active bacteria (EAB) in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The enriched population consisted primarily of ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria (36.5%), followed by Firmicutes (27%) and O-Proteobacteria (15%). Accordingly, we compared our own enrichments done under many different conditions with those reported from the literature, all of which support the notion that electrochemically active bacteria are taxonomically very diverse. Enrichments with different types and levels of energy sources (fuels) have clearly yielded many different groups of bacteria.

레벨셋방법과 헤비사이드 강화를 이용한 아이소-지오메트릭 위상최적설계 방법을 개발하였다. 레벨셋 방법에서는 초기해석영역은 고정되어 있으며 경계는 레벨셋 함수값을 이용한 암시적인 동적 경계로 표현되며, 이는 복잡한 위상적 변화를 용이하게 표현할 수 있게 한다. 헤비사이드 강화는 기존의 기저함수에 내부 경계를 표현하는 강화 함수를 더함으로써 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법의 정밀도를 향상시킨다. 제안된 위상 최적설계 방법은 다음과 같은 이점을 갖는다. 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법을 이용하여 정밀한 기하 형상을 얻을 수 있으며 텐서 곱을 이용하여 정의된 패치의 한계를 헤비사이드 강화를 이용함으로써 해결할 수 있다. 단일 패치를 사용함으로써 연속적인 응력 분포를 얻어낼 수 있을 뿐 아니라 불연속적인 변위장 또한 표현해 낼 수 있다. 레벨셋 방법론이 암시적 동적 경계를 잘 표현하기 때문에 이를 이용하여 헤비사이드 강화를 이용한 아이소-지오메트릭 해석법에서 위상의 변화를 잘 표현해 낼 수 있다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of different social ranking order (SRO) and the enrichments (perch and dust-bath) allocation (EA) on behavior of laying hens in furnished cages. Methods: Total experimental period was 4 weeks. There were 216 Hy-line brown layers beak-trimmed at 1 d of age and selected randomly at 14 weeks of age from a commercial farm, and randomly divided into 36 cages with 6 hens in each cage. High enrichments (perch and dust-bath) allocation (HEA) and low enrichments (perch and dust-bath) allocation (LEA) were provided. Video observations of behavior were obtained from the focal hens between 14 and 18 weeks of age and perching, dust-bathing and other general behaviors of the hens with different social orders were measured. Results: Perching behavior of high SRO hens (HSR) were significantly higher than that of medium SRO hens (MSR), and that of the MSR were significantly higher than that of low SRO hens (LSR) (p<0.01), except for lying on perch (p>0.05). The hens in the high EA cage (HEAC) showed more lying behavior on perch than those in the low EA cage (LEAC) (p<0.01). The different SRO and EA did not affect dust-bathing behavior except vertical wing-shaking behavior (p<0.05). The LEA did not affect general behaviors (p>0.05), except standing and preening behaviors (p<0.01 and p<0.05), of which the hens in the HEAC showed less standing (p<0.01) and more preening behavior than the hens in the LEAC. Conclusion: The SRO of laying hens has a significant effect on the perching behaviors, but SRO and EA have little effect on dust-bathing and general behaviors.

A sensitivity study has been done to determine the composition of DUPIC fuel from the viewpoint of neutronics fuel design. The spent PWR fuel compositions were generated and fissile contents adjusted by blending fresh uranium after mixing two spent PWR fuel assemblies. The $^{239}$ Pu and $^{235}$ U enrichments of DUPIC fuel were adjusted by controlling the amount of fresh uranium feed and the ratio of slightly enriched and depleted uranium in the fled uranium. Based on the material balance calculation, it is recommended that DUPIC fuel composition be such that spent PWR fuel utilization is more than 90%.. A sensitivity study on the temperature reactivity coefficient of DUPIC fuel has shown that it is desirable to increase the $^{239}$ Pu and $^{235}$ U contents to reduce both the fuel and coolant temperature coefficients. On the other hand, refueling simulations of the DUPIC core have shown that the channel power peaking factor, which is a measure of the reactor trip margin, increases with the total fissile content. Considering these neutronic characteristics of the DUPIC fuel, il is recommended to have enrichments of 0.45 and 1.00 wt% for $^{239}$ Pu and $^{235}$ U, respectively.

동물복지의 관심고조는 전 세계적인 동향이며 최근 국내 소비자들의 복지는 반려동물에서 경제동물인 가축으로 확산되고 있다. 환경보조물은 동물복지수준 강화에 유용한 수단으로 활용되고 있으나 임신돈에서는 관련 연구는 제한적이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 환경보조물이 임신모돈의 생산성 및 행동특성에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 실시하였다. 시험동물은 30두의 임신돈(랜드레이스)를 준비하였고, 완전임의배치법에 의거하여 3개 처리구(대조구; T1, 플라스틱 소재 놀이기구; T2, 볏짚)에 처리구당 10두씩 배치하였다. 사양시험은 임신 28-105일령동안이며 볏짚과 놀이기구는 시험돈방($11.6{\times}6.0m$) 중앙에 배치하였다. 시험 종료일에 체중 및 등지방두께를 측정하였으며 혈중 코티졸 농도를 분석하였다. 행동특성 분석을 위해 임신 91일령에 행동패턴을 24시간 촬영하였고 행동특성을 분석하였다. 시작 및 종료체중은 대조구 및 처리구간 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 등지방두께는 대조구보다 T2에서 감소하였다(C, 16.56mm vs. T2, 15.73mm; p>0.05). 총산자수, 실산자수는 처리구간 차이가 없다. 사산수는 T1 및 T2에서 대조구보다 감소하였다(1.00 and 0.63 vs. 1.50두; p>0.05). 분만폐사율은 사산수와 유사한 경향을 보였다(C, 8.68%; T1, 6.86%; T2, 3.40%). 혈중 코티졸은 대조구 및 처리구간 차이가 없다. 섭취행동은 T2에서 대조구 및 T1 처리구보다 감소하였다(1.81 vs. 9.68 and 6.99%; p<0.05). 놀이 및 파헤치기 행동은 각각 T1와 T2 처리구에서만 확인되었다(p<0.05). 반면에 사육시설에 문지르기 행동은 대조구에서만 관촬되었다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과는 환경보조물 제공이 임신돈의 생산성에 부정적인 영향을 미치지 않으면서 돼지의 행동특성은 복지향상에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.
