This study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with phytase on growth performance, fecal excretion, and compost nutrition on broilers fed available phosphorus (avP)- and calcium (Ca)-deficient diets. A total of 750 one-day-old broiler chicks were randomly divided into five dietary groups having ten replications in a floor house. Diets of the groups were formulated with positive control (PC), negative control (NC; low avP and Ca), and NC supplemented with phytase levels; 500 (NC500), 1,000 (NC1000), and 1,500 FTU/kg (NC1500). A three-phase feeding program was used in the trial. Average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) in the groups fed diets supplemented with phytase were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those fed NC and the increase was equivalent to those fed PC. Serum levels of Ca and phosphorus (P) were higher (p < 0.05) in broilers fed NC1000 and NC1500 than in those fed NC. Interleukin (IL) level was the lowest in the group fed NC. Plasma myo-inositol (INS) concentrations in the NC1500 group were higher (p < 0.05) than PC, NC, and NC500 groups. Crude protein (CP) excretion was notably (p < 0.05) lower in the NC1500 group than in PC and NC groups. A lower (p < 0.05) concentration of P₂O₅ was observed in compost from the group fed NC1500 than the groups fed PC and NC. Accordingly, we suggest that phytase supplementation in lower avP and Ca levels of broiler diet can improve their productive performance and reduce environmental pollution.

본 연구에서는 테스토스테론으로 전립선 비대를 유도한 래트에 울금(Curcuma longa L.)의 열수추출물을 다양한 농도로 급여하여 그에 따른 염증인자의 변화를 검토하였다. 조직학적 분석에서 울금 열수추출물(CL) 급여에 따라 전립선비대가 완화되는 것을 검토할 수 있었으며, 염증성 사이토카인인 TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6 및 IL-$1{\beta}$이 전립선 비대 유도군에서 그 발현이 현저히 증가하였으나, 각 농도의 CL 군에서는 농도의존적으로 감소하였다. 또한, CL 급여에 따라 finasteride enzyme인 COX-2와 염증 전사인자인 NF-${\kappa}b$의 활성화의 감소를 확인하였다. 이와 같은 결과는 전립선 비대에서 울금 열수추출물이 항염증 효과로써 전립선 비대의 유발 및 발전을 억제시킬 수 있다는 것을 부분적으로나마 설명할 수 있는 기초 자료가 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

This study was conducted to develop a robust navigator which could be in positioning for precision farming through developing a plural GPS receiver with 4 sets of GPS antenna. In order to improve positioning accuracy by integrating GPS signals received simultaneously, the algorithm for processing plural GPS signal effectively was designed. Performance of the algorithm was tested using a simulation program and a fixed point on WGS 84 coordinates. Results of this study are aummarized as followings. 1. 4 sets of lower grade GPS receiver and signals were integrated by kalman filter algorithm and geometric algorithm to increase positioning accuracy of the data. 2. Prototype was composed of 4 sets of GPS receiver and INS components. All Star which manufactured by CMC, gyro compass made by KVH, ground speed sensor and integration S/W based on RTOS(Real Time Operating System)were used. 3. Integration algorithm was simulated by developed program which could generate random position error less then 10 m and tested with the prototype at a fixed position. 4. When navigation data was integrated by geometrical correction and kalman filter algorithm, estimated positioning erros were less then 0.6 m and 1.0 m respectively in simulation and fixed position tests.

표면도달일사량은 태양과 지구에너지시스템을 이해하는데 중요하며, 대기-지표면의 흐름, 농업 생산량, 태양발전에 필요한 에너지 연구 등과 같은 많은 분야에 활용되고 있는 중요한 변수이다. 대부분의 태양에너지는 지상관측지점에서 관측하는 경우가 많이 있지만, 공간적인 분포를 판단하기에는 한계성을 지니고 있다. 이에 반해 인공위성을 활용한 원격탐사 기법은 지속적인 자료 제공과 더불어 광역범위의 공간적 분포를 파악하는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 COMS 위성자료 중 표면도달일사량 (Solar Insolation, INS)의 정확성 판단하기 위해 플럭스 타워에서 측정된 지점 자료와의 비교, 검증을 실시하였다. 결론적으로 볼 때, 30분 간격의 자료와 일평균의 자료에서 높은 상관계수를 보임에 따라 천리안 위성자료의 한반도 적용가능성이 높다고 판단된다.

Synbiotics are a combination of probiotics and prebiotics, which lead to synergistic benefits in host welfare. Probiotics have been used as an alternative to antibiotics. Among the probiotics, Pediococcus acidilactici (PA) has shown excellent antimicrobial activity against Salmonella Gallinarum (SG) as a major poultry pathogen and has improved the production performances of animals. Inulin is widely used as a prebiotic for the improvement of animal health and growth. The main aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of inulin nanoparticle (IN)-internalized PA encapsulated into alginate/chitosan/alginate (ACA) microcapsules (MCs) for future in vivo application. The prepared phthalyl INs (PINs) were characterized by DLS and FE-SEM. The contents of phthal groups in the PINs were estimated by $^1H-NMR$ measurement as 25.1 mol.-%. The sizes of the PINs measured by DLS were approximately 203 nm. Internalization into PA was confirmed by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The antimicrobial activity of PIN-internalized probiotics encapsulated into ACA MCs was measured by coculture antimicrobial assays on SG. PIN-internalized probiotics had a higher antimicrobial ability than that of ACA MCs loaded with PA/inulin or PA. Interestingly, when PINs were treated with PA and encapsulated into ACA MCs, as a natural antimicrobial peptide, pediocin was produced much more in the culture medium compared with other groups with inulin-loaded ACA MCs and PA encapsulated into ACA MCs.

Mammalian gastric smooth muscles generate spontaneous rhythmic contractions which are associated with slow oscillatory potentials (slow waves) and spike potentials. Spike potentials are blocked by organic $Ca^{2+}-antagonists,$ indicating that these result from the activation of L-type $Ca^{2+}-channel.$ However, the cellular mechanisms underlying the generation of slow wave remain unclear. Slow waves are insensitive to $Ca^{2+}-antagonists$ but are blocked by metabolic inhibitors or low temperature. Recently it has been suggested that Interstitial Cells of Cajal (ICC) serve as pacemaker cells and a slow wave reflects the coordinated behavior of both ICC and smooth muscle cells. Small segments of circular smooth muscle isolated from antrum of the guinea-pig stomach generated two types of electrical events; irregular small amplitude (1 to 7 mV) of transient depolarization and larger amplitude (20 to 30 mV) of slow depolarization (regenerative potential). Transient depolarization occurred irregularly and membrane depolarization increased their frequency. Regenerative potentials were generated rhythmically and appeared to result from summed transient depolarizations. Spike potentials, sensitive to nifedipine, were generated on the peaks of regenerative potentials. Depolarization of the membrane evoked regenerative potentials with long latencies (1 to 2 s). These potentials had long partial refractory periods (15 to 20 s). They were inhibited by low concentrations of caffeine, perhaps reflecting either depletion of $Ca^{2+}$ from SR or inhibition of InsP3 receptors, by buffering $Ca^{2+}$ to low levels with BAPTA or by depleting $Ca^{2+}$ from SR with CPA. They persisted in the presence of $Ca^{2+}-sensitive$ $Cl^--channel$ blockers, niflumic acid and DIDS or $Co^{2+},$ a non selective $Ca^{2+}-channel$ blocker. These results suggest that spontaneous activity of gastric smooth muscle results from $Ca^{2+}$ release from SR, followed by activation of $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ ion channels other than $Cl^-$ channels, with the release of $Ca^{2+}$ from SR being triggered by membrane depolarization.

As a step toward a more complete understanding of the molecular actions of TNF, we prepared a cDNA library from TNF-treated human FS-4 fibroblasts and used differential hybridization to identify cDNA clones corresponding to mRNAs enriched in TNF-treated eells. In Quiescent FS-4 cells n induces an increase in the level of some mRNAs within 20 to 30 min. Some of these immediate-early response mRNAs are elevated only transiently for about 30 to 120 min, e. g., c-fos and c-myc (Lin and Vilcek,1987) or the transcription factor IRF-1 (Fujita et al.1989). Such immediate-early gene products may be important for the activation of other genes, but their transient induction suggests that they are not the actual effector molecules responsible for the phenotypic changes induced by TNF. We chose a 3-h incubation with W because we were seeking cDNAs corresponding to messages that are more stably elevated after TNF treatment. Indeed, the results shown in Figure 8 and 9 indicate that all of the mRNAs corresponding to the eight TSG cDNAs isolated remained significantly elevated after 16h of continuous treatment with TNF, and their kinetics of induction were clearly different from those of the immediate-early response mRNAs such as c-fos, c-myc or IRF-1. Nevertheless, only the induction of TSG-21 (collagenase) and TSG-27 (stromelysin) nNAs was completely inhibited by cycloheximide and the induction of TSG-37 (metallothionein-II) was reduced in the presence of this inhibitor of protein synthesis. Induction of the other five TSG mRNAs by TNF was completelyresistant to cycloheximide, suggest ins that no protein intermediate is needed for the upregulation of these mRNAs.
