Objective: This study was conducted to estimate the association of age at first calving (AFC) with first lactation traits as well as lifetime performance traits in Murrah buffaloes. Methods: Data on first lactation and life time performance of Murrah buffaloes (n = 679), maintained at Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, Hisar, India during the period 1983 through 2017, were deduced to calculate heritability estimates, genetic and phenotypic correlation of different first lactation and lifetime traits. The univariate animal model was fitted to estimate variance components and heritability separately for each trait, while bivariate animal models were set to estimate genetic and phenotypic correlations between traits under study. Results: The heritability was high for first peak milk yield (FPY, 0.64±0.08), moderate for AFC (0.48±0.07) and breeding efficiency (BE 0.39±0.09). High genetic correlations of first lactation total milk yield (FLTMY) with first lactation standard milk yield (FLSMY, 305 days or less), FPY, and first lactation length (FLL) was seen. Likewise, genetic correlation of AFC was positive with FLTMY, FLL, first dry period (FDP), first service period (FSP), first calving interval (FCI), herd life (HL) and productive days (PD). Significant phenotypic correlation of FLTMY was observed with HL, productive life (PL), PD, total lifetime milk yield (LTMY), standard lifetime milk yield (standard LTMY). Moreover, positive genetic and phenotypic correlation of FPY was observed with HL, PL, PD, total LTMY and standard LTMY. Conclusion: This study reports that AFC had positive genetic correlation with FDP, FSP, FCI, and unproductive days while, negative association of AFC was observed with FLSMY, PL, total LTMY, standard LTMY, and BE. This suggests that reduction of AFC would results in improvement of lifetime performance traits.

Fire Sequencing Problem (FSP) is to find a sequence of targets, where there exist a number of targets with different time units required to fire. Because of the weapon's specifications and the size of the targets, several weapons may fire on the same targets, and the time units required on firing for each weapon may be different from each other. The objective is to minimize the completion time of firing for given number of targets. Mathematical formulation is given, and the heuristic algorithm based on the paring of targets in advance is suggested. Performance of the heuristic is evaluated by comparison of heuristic appeared in the literature through the computational experiments.

본 연구는 정적 및 동적하중 재하상태에서 배합조건을 달리한 콘크리트의 파괴특성을 조사하고자 3점 휨 실험을 실시하였다. 실험은 물-시멘트비를 일정하게 유지한 상태에서 슬럼프 값을 변화시키는 경우와 슬럼프 값을 일정하게 유지하면서 물-시멘트비를 변화시키는 경우로 구분하여 배합비를 달리한 6가지 배합형태의 무근콘크리트 시편 54개를 제작하였다. 실험결과에 의하여 콘크리트의 파괴에너지(Gf)와 특성길이(lch)를 구한 수 이를 강도특성(f'c, fsp , Ec, ff)과의 상관관계를 규명하고 파괴에너지(Gf)를 이용한 배합설계의 타당성을 검토하였다.

Hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects among infants. Most hearing-impaired children are not diagnosed until one to three years of age, which is too late to treat for normal speech and language development. If a hearing impairment is identified and treated in its early stage, child's speech and language skills could be comparable to his or her normal-hearing peers. In this study, we applied the 'Fsp' method to distinguish between normal and impaired hearing. We have developed a battery-operated portable A - ABR(automated auditory brain stem response) system that automatically detects hearing impairment for neonates or infants in a nursery room, as well as in a sound-proof room. We partially validated the accuracy of the system in five normal-hearing adults.

Polychlorinated hydrocarbons are continuously released into the environment from various industrial processes. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (perchloroethylene, PCE) are of primary concern because of their large-scale production, wide industrial application, poor biodegradability, and tendency to circulate in the air and water. The common routes of human exposure to these compounds include inhalation, ingestion, and dermal adsorption. Additionally, they have been detected in various plant foods. Prolonged exposure to these contaminants is associated with certain risks. They are carcinogenic and have other toxic effects, including gastrointestinal, developmental, neurological, and hematological toxicity. To analyze these contaminants, they are generally extracted from various matrices, followed by instrumental analysis. Gas chromatography, often in combination with different detectors, is the most widely used analytical method. This review covers the toxicity, analytical methods, occurrence in foods, and risk assessment of these contaminants.

Soybean paste is a staple food used to make doenjang (DE), cheonggukjang (CGJ), and miso (MI). In this study, solid-phase microextraction followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to identify volatile components in DE, CGJ, and MI, and principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to determine their correlation between soybean pastes. Esters and hydrocarbons accounted for more than 55% of the total volatile components. PCA showed that esters were highly correlated with DE; pyrazines were correlated with CGJ; and alcohols were highly correlated with MI. Because DE, CGJ, and MI are made of the same material, their overall volatile content tended to be similar. However, the main volatile components and fragrances were different. These findings will be used as basic research data to promote quality improvement of soybean-based fermented foods in Korea and Japan.

Ogi production results in nutrient loss. B. aegyptiaca seeds, rich in biomaterials, could enhance ogi's nutritional potential. This study aimed to fortify ogi with bioactives from B. aegyptiaca seeds, targeting a 16% protein inclusion, compared to ogi flour as control. Mineral profiles were analyzed, showing higher levels in the fortified samples, particularly in DAM-ogi and PP-ogi, which are implicated in diabetes control. Pasting profiles indicated higher values in PP-ogi, suggesting improved rheological properties due to B. aegyptiaca bioactives.

중간엽 줄기세포(MSC)를 체외배양할 때 사용하는 소태아혈청 (FBS)의 생물학적 불안전성은 이를 임상적으로 사용하는데 있어 제한점으로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 소태아혈청 및 인간의 제대혈청을 사용하여 인간의 양막유래 중간엽 줄기세포 (HAM)를 각각 배양한 후, 세포의 성장속도와 유전자 및 단백질의 발현 양상을 비교하였다. 제왕절개 후 얻은 양막으로부터 HAM을 분리하여 10% FBS, 5% HCS 혹은 10% HCS가 각각 첨가된 DMEM 배양액에서 배양하였으며, 초기와 후기 계대의 세포를 얻어 이들의 생물학적 특성을 비교 분석하였다. 역전자 중합효소반응 결과, 혈청의 종류에 상관없이 배양된 세포들은 모두 OCT-4, Rex-1, SCF, FGF-5, BMP-4, nestin, NCAM, GATA-4, HLA-ABC 유전자를 발현하였으며, 이러한 발현은 초기 및 후기 계대의 세포에서도 마찬가지로 나타났다. 세포면역화학 반응 결과, FBS 혹은 HCS를 첨가한 배양액에서 배양된 HAM은 4번째 계대에서 collagen I, II, III, XII, fibronectin, $\alpha$-smooth muscle actin, vimentin, CK18, CD54, FSP, TRA-1-60, SSEA-3, -4, HLA ABC 단백질을 뚜렷하게 발현하였다. 그러나 desmin 단백질은 FBS가 첨가된 배양액에서 배양된 HAM에서만 발현되었고 vWF 단백질은 HCS가 첨가된 배양액에서 배양된 HAM에서만 발현되었다. 결론적으로 유전자와 단백질의 발현양상을 살펴본 결과, HCS가 첨가된 배양액에서 배양된 HAM은 전형적인 인간성체줄기세포의 특징을 나타내고 있으며, FBS가 첨가된 배양액과 비교하여 동등한 성장 촉진 효과를 가지는 것으로 보인다.
