Objective: This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of crude glycerin from waste vegetable oil (CGWVO) on performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and muscle chemical composition. Methods: Twenty-four crossbred (Thai Native${\times}$Anglo Nubian) uncastrated male goats ($16.8{\pm}0.46kg$ body weight [BW]) were assigned to a completely randomized design and subjected to four experimental diets containing 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6% of CGWVO (63.42% of glycerol and 47.78% of crude fat) on a dry matter (DM) basis. The diets were offered ad libitum as total mixed rations twice daily. The feed intake, feeding behavior, growth performance, carcass and meat traits, and muscle chemical composition were evaluated. Results: Based on this experiment, there were significant differences (p>0.05) among groups regarding DM intake, growth performance, and carcass traits where goats receiving 6% of CGWVO had lower daily DM intake, growth performance, and carcass traits than those fed on 0%, 2%, and 4% of CGWVO. There were no effects of CGWVO on carcass length, carcass width, Longissimus muscle (LM) area, Warner-Bratzler shear force, pH and color of LM at 45 min after slaughter, as well as on other carcass cut and muscle chemical composition. Conclusion: In conclusion, the addition of up to 4% of DM in the diets for crossbred finishing goats seems to be the most interesting strategy, since it promotes greatest animal performance. Moreover, this study was a suitable approach to exploit the use of biodiesel production from waste vegetable oil for goat production.

고분자-점토 나노복합재는 적은 양의 점토 함유만으로도 물리적, 기계적 특성 등의 물성 증대 효과를 기대할 수 있다 고분자-점토 나노복합재의 일반적인 제조방법으로는 층간 삽입법과 직접 중합법으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 디알릴테레프탈레이트와 1,3-부탄디올을 단량체조 하여 알릴 에스터 예비 중합체를 합성하고, 점토를 이용하여 층간 삽입법과 직접 중합법으로 나노복합재를 제조하여 점토의 함량, 경화조건, 점토의 혼합 방법에 따른 특성을 분석하였다. 실리케이트 층간 거리는, 30B-점토를 이용하여 직접 중합법으로 제조하였을 때, 40$\AA$ 이상으로 가장 넓게 나타났다. 이는 유기화제의 작용기 (-OH)와 단량체가 실리케이트의 층 사이에서 에스터 교환 반응을 일으켜, 층간 거리가 증가하였기 때문이다. 또한 기계적 특성과 열적 특성 확인으로 점토의 분산 정도가 복합재의 물성 향상의 중요한 인자임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Taste sensitivity to sugars plays an essential role in the initiation of feeding behavior. In Drosophila melanogaster, recent studies have identified several gustatory receptor (Gr) genes required for sensing sweet compounds. However, it is as yet undetermined how these GRs function as taste receptors tuned to a wide range of sugars. Among sugars, fructose has been suggested to be detected by a distinct receptor from other sugars. While GR43A has been reported to sense fructose in the brain, it is not expressed in labellar gustatory receptor neurons that show taste response to fructose. In contrast, the Gr64a-Gr64f gene cluster was recently shown to be associated with fructose sensitivity. Here we sought to decipher the genes required for fructose response among Gr64a-Gr64f genes. Unexpectedly, the qPCR analyses for these genes show that labellar expression levels of Gr64d and Gr64e are higher in fructose low-sensitivity flies than in high-sensitivity flies. Moreover, gustatory nerve responses to fructose in labellar sensilla are higher in Gr64d and Gr64f mutant lines than in mutant flies of the other Gr64a-Gr64f genes. These data suggest the possibility that deletion of GR64D or GR64F may indirectly induce enhanced fructose sensitivity in the labellum. Finally, we conclude that response to fructose cannot be explained by a single one of the Gr64a-Gr64f genes.

2개월된 어린 백연어의 성장에 있어서 7종의 배양조류와 동물플랑크톤의 먹이 기여도를 조사하기 위하여 10L의 원통형 수조에 8일동안 각각 배양하였다. 동물플랑크톤 Moina는 대부분의 배양조류를 효과적으로 섭취하였는데, Cryptomonas의 경우, 60분동안에 거의 대부분의 조류를 제거한 반면 남조류 Oscillatoria와 Microcystis는 강하게 Moina개체군을 감소시켰다. 어린 백련어는 52시간동안에 배양조류의 약 50% 정도 섭취하였으나, 남조 Microcystis의 경우 60% 이상이 여전히 수조에 남았으며, 동시에 어류체중의 5${\sim}$12%를 감소시켰다. 실험에 사용된 동일한 밀도로 계속적으로 투입할 경우, 어린 백련어는 11${\sim}$65일만에 사멸하였다. 동물플랑크톤 Moina는 투입된 어류밀도에 따라 각 개체의 성장특성이 다소 차이가 있으나 단일배양조류보다 어류성장을 유도하는 가장 직접적인 영양원으로 사료되었다.

The U metal chips generated in developing nuclear fuel and a gamma radioisotope shield have been stored under immersion of water in KAERI. When the water of the storing vessels vaporizes or drains due to unexpected leaking, the U metal chips are able to open to air. A new oxidation treatment process was raised for a long time safe storage with concepts of drying under vacuum, evaporating the containing water and organic material with elevating temperature, and oxidizing the uranium metal chips at an appropriate high temperature under conditions of controlling the feeding rate of oxygen gas. In order to optimize the oxidation process the uranium metal chips were completely dried at higher temperature than $300^{\circ}C$ and tested for oxidation at various temperatures, which are $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, and $500^{\circ}C$. When the oxidation temperature was $400^{\circ}C$, the oxidized sample for 7 hours showed a temperature rise of $60^{\circ}C$ in the self-ignition test. But the oxidized sample for 14 hours revealed a slight temperature rise of $7^{\circ}C$ representing a stable behavior in the self-ignition test. When the temperature was $500^{\circ}C$, the shorter oxidation for 7 hours appeared to be enough because the self-ignition test represented no temperature rise. By using several chemical analyses such as carbon content determination, X-ray deflection (XRD), Infrared spectra (IR) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) on the oxidation treated samples, the results of self-ignition test of new oxidation treatment process for U metal chip were interpreted and supported.

Three combinations of molecular chaperones from Escherichia coli (i.e., DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE-GroEL-GroES, GroEL-GroES, and DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE) were overproduced in E. coli BL21, and their in vitro stabilizing effects on a nitrile hydratase (NHase) were assessed. The optimal gene combination, E. coli groEL-groES (ecgroEL-ES), was introduced into Rhodococcus ruber TH3. A novel engineered strain, R. ruber TH3G was constructed with the native NHase gene on its chromosome and the heterologous ecgroEL-ES genes in a shuttle plasmid. In R. ruber TH3G, NHase activity was enhanced 37.3% compared with the control, TH3. The in vivo stabilizing effect of ecGroEL-ES on the NHase was assessed using both acrylamide immersion and heat shock experiments. The inactivation behavior of the in vivo NHase after immersion in a solution of dynamically increased concentrations of acrylamide was particularly evident. When the acrylamide concentration was increased to 500 g/l (50%), the remaining NHase activity in TH3G was 38%, but in TH3, activity was reduced to 10%. Reactivation of the in vivo NHases after varying degrees of inactivation was further assessed. The activity of the reactivated NHase was more than 2-fold greater in TH3G than in TH3. The hydration synthesis of acrylamide catalyzed by the in vivo NHase was performed with continuous acrylonitrile feeding. The final concentration of acrylamide was 640 g/l when catalyzed by TH3G, compared with 490 g/l acrylamide by TH3. This study is the first to show that the chaperones ecGroEL-ES work well in Rhodococcus and simultaneously possess protein-folding assistance functions and the ability to stabilize and reactivate the native NHases.

피라미의 종묘를 생산하기 위하여인공부화, 먹이, 성장을 조사하였다. 난황이 갓 흡수된 개체는 전장이 7.6~8.2mm(평균 7.97mm) 이었으며, 부화 후 3일만에 부상하였다. 부상 후 소형 물벼룩, 윤충류, 알테미아를 섭취하였으며, 초기용 인공 분말사료도 섭취하였다. $20~32^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 부화시험을 한 결과 부화율은 $26^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높았으며, 47시간이 소요되었다. 부화기의 형태 중에서는 부화병에서 부화율이 89%로 가장 높았으며, 그물상자 및 Californian 부화기에서도 부화율 80% 이상으로 높았다. 부화 후 50일간 사육 한 결과 30.0mm(25.6~32.0mm)로 성장하였다. 온도가 높을수록 자어의 성장이 빨랐는데, 특히 $26^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 성장이 양호하였다. 그러나, 생존율은 $32^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮았다. 부화직후부터 배합사료만으로서 사육이 가능하였으며 알테미아나 잉어용 사료에 비해서 넙치 및 조피볼락용 사료에서 성장이 양호하였다.

Tantalum carbide, which is one of the ultra-high temperature ceramics, was deposited on graphite by low pressure chemical vapor deposition from a $TaCl_5-C_3H_6-Ar-H_2$ mixture. To maintain a constant $TaCl_5/C_3H_6$ ratio during the deposition process, $TaCl_5$ powders were continuously fed into the sublimation chamber using a screw-driven feeder. Sublimation behavior of $TaCl_5$ powder was measured by thermogravimetric analysis. TaC coatings have various phases such as $Ta+{\alpha}-Ta_2C$, ${\alpha}-Ta_2C+TaC_{1-x}$, and $TaC_{1-x}$ depending on the powder feeding methods, the $C_3H_6/TaCl_5$ ratio, and the deposition temperatures. Near-stoichiometric TaC was obtained by optimizing the deposition parameters. Phase compositions were analyzed by XRD, XPS, and Raman analysis.
