An experiment was conducted to determine the optimal inclusion ratio of spray dried plasma protein (SDPP) and dried porcine solubles (DPS) for maximizing growth and improving immunity in weaned pigs. One hundred-fifty male (barrow) pigs were allotted in a completely randomized block design. Treatments were as follows: 1) control (6% SDPP), 2) S6D6 (6% SDPP+6% DPS), 3) S6D3 (6% SDPP+3% DPS), 4) S3D6 (3% SDPP+6% DPS) and 5) S3D3 (3% SDPP+3% DPS). Each treatment has 6 replicates with 5 pigs per replicate. Average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) were highest, but not significantly different when pigs were fed a diet contained 6% SDPP and DPS from d 0 to 7 after weaning. Pigs fed the S6D3 diet showed better weight gain and feed intake than other treatments, especially compared with pigs fed S3D6 diet (p<0.05) from d 8 to 21 after weaning. For the overall experimental period, pigs fed the S6D3 diet showed the best improvement in ADG and ADFI. The digestibilities of dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) were higher in pigs fed the S6D6 diet than other diets from d 0 to 7 after weaning. However, pigs fed S6D3 diet showed higher DM, CP and essential amino acids (except methionine and arginine) digestibilities than pigs fed other diets from d 8 to 21 after weaning, although there was no significant difference. From d 8 to 21 after weaning, threonine, valine, isoleucine and leucine digestibilites were higher in S6D6 group, and phenyalanine, histidine, lysine and arginine digestibility were higher in S6D3 group than other groups. The ratio of CD4 and CD8 positive lymphocytes during the overall experimental period was independent of the ratio of SDPP and DPS. However, CD4+:CD8+ ratio was numerically lowered in pigs fed diet the S6D3 diet. Therefore, the present study suggests that an optimal inclusion ratio for maximizing growth performance and maintaining low immune status is 6% of SDPP and 3% of DPS in weaned pigs.

기존의 콘크리트 조기강도의 발현 및 응결특성을 파악하기 위하여 탄성파 기법을 이용한 콘크리트의 모니터링에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 저강도 콘크리트의 일종인 유동성 채움재(CLSM)에 대한 응결특성을 파악하기 위하여 전단파 트랜스듀서인 벤더 엘리먼트를 활용하였으며, 양생시간에 따른 CLSM의 전단파 특성을 조사하였다. 조기강도 및 유동성을 확보하기 위하여 CLSM은 CSA계 시멘트, 비회, 실트 및 모래, 급결제, 물로 구성되었으며 세립분 함량에 따른 전단파 특성 변화를 보기 위해 3종류의 CLSM 시료를 배합하였다. 전단파 측정을 위한 셀은 셀 벽면에 한 쌍의 벤더 엘리먼트가 설치되었고, 배합된 CLSM 시료를 전단파 측정용 셀에 조성하여 양생시작부터 28일간 전단파 변화를 모니터링 하였다. 실험결과 CLSM의 세립분 함량에 상관없이 양생시간이 증가함에 따라 전단파의 공진주파수 및 속도는 증가하였다. 또한, 양생시작부터 약 10시간까지는 전단파의 진폭도 증가하였으며, 동일한 시각에서는 세립분 함량이 적을수록 공진주파수 및 속도가 크게 나타났다. 본 논문에서 제안된 벤더 엘리먼트를 이용한 전단파 측정기법은 양생기간에 따른 CLSM의 응결특성을 평가하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

기존 뒤채움재의 대체방안으로 고려되는 유동성 채움재(Controlled Low Strength Material, CLSM)의 경화 특성 및 강도발현은 시공기간을 결정하는 주요 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 시간영역반사법(Time Domain Reflectometry, TDR)을 이용하여 유전상수를 도출함으로써 CSLM의 경화 특성을 모니터링하고, 산정된 유전상수와 일축압축강도간의 관계를 분석해보고자 하였다. CLSM 시료는 시멘트, 비회, 실트, 모래, 급결제 및 물로 배합되었으며 배합된 시료의 플로우, 단위중량, 일축압축강도와 같은 재료 특성을 조사하였다. 양생 기간 동안 CLSM의 유전율 특성을 모니터링하기 위하여 TDR 프로브가 설치된 몰드 및 Reflectometer를 이용하여 측정시스템을 구성하였다. 실험결과 유전상수는 양생 초기에 일정한 값을 유지하다, 시간이 진행됨에 따라 점차 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 일축압축강도와 유전상수를 회귀분석한 결과 두 물성 사이에는 반비례적인 거듭제곱함수의 관계가 있음을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 제안한 시간영역반사법을 이용한 CLSM의 특성 모니터링은 일축압축강도를 추정할 수 있는 현장 비파괴시험기법으로 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

신재생 에너지 개발에 대한 사회적 요구가 증가하면서 경제성 및 기술 성숙도가 높은 풍력발전이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 대규모 에너지 생산을 위해 풍력 터빈의 대형화와 해상풍력 단지 개발에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으며, 운영 및 관리(O&M, Operation and Management) 측면에서의 구조적 안전성 평가 및 유지관리의 중요성 또한 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 안전성 평가를 위한 여러 항목 중 터빈 상부 즉, 허브 높이에서의 변위는 구조물의 강성에 의해 지배되는 직접적인 지표로, 구조물의 건전상태를 쉽게 평가할 수 있는 지표라 할 수 있다. 그러나 풍력 터빈과 같은 대형 구조물의 변위 측정은 장비의 한계로 직접적으로 측정하기에는 많은 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 (1) 경사와 가속도의 동적 계측응답 자료를 융합하여 간접적으로 변위를 추정하는 방법을 제안하고, (2) 제안된 방법을 제원이 공개되어 있는 NREL 5 MW급 풍력 터빈에 적용하여 경사계의 수, 경사계의 잡음 수준 및 계측 주파수에 따른 변위 추정의 정확도를 평가하였으며, 실제 변위 측정을 위한 매개변수 연구를 수행하였다.

A total of 120 pigs were used to investigate the effects of yucca extracts on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility and excretion of growing pigs fed different levels of dietary protein. Pigs were allotted into $2{\times}3$ factorial design by the supplementation with yucca extract (YE, 0 and 120 mg/kg) and 3 levels of dietary protein (16, 18, 20%). During the whole experimental period (18 to 52 kg body weight), there were no significant differences in ADG, ADFI or F/G by YE addition or different protein levels among treatments (p>0.05). Overall, although addition of YE to the diet and elevation of protein level showed better ADG, there were no significant differences in growth performance among treatments. Pigs fed diets with YE showed significantly (p<0.05) higher dry matter (DM), crude ash (CA) and crude protein (CP) digestibility than did the others during the growing period. Concerning the levels of dietary protein, only the CP digestibility was significantly higher in pigs fed high protein diet. Pig fed the low protein diet without YE showed a significantly low CP digestibility (p<0.05). No significant differences were found in crude fat (CF), calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) digestibilities regardless of YE supplementation or dietary protein levels. Pigs fed YE supplemented diets showed significantly (p<0.05) higher amino acid digestibility. Also, high CP level diets showed a higher amino acid digestibility than low CP diets (p<0.05). DM and N excretion did not show any significant differences among treatments, there was a slightly lower excretion with increase in dietary protein level. Supplementation with YE significantly decreased the DM and N excretion. Interaction (YE$\times$protein) was found in P excretion. Pigs fed a medium protein diet without YE showed the lowest P excretion during the growing period. The NH3-N content in the feces tended to be increased by the increased dietary protein levels and with YE supplementation. During the whole experimental period, the cost for YE supplementation was similar to value of the improvements of performance obtained. The cost of feeding high level protein was significantly higher than that of medium level protein by 10% and low level protein by 9% (p<0.05). It could be concluded that the effects of dietary protein level and yucca extract on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and excretion might play a role to some extent in growing pigs from the aspect of pollution control.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of environmentally friendly agents (yucca extract, mineral feed additive, acidifier, nonspecific immunostimulating anionic alkali solution) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nutrient excretion and carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs. A total of 125 pigs were allotted into 5 treatments with 5 replications, 5 pigs per pen in a completely randomized block design. Dietary treatments consisted of 1) control: basal diet, 2) YE: basal diet+120 mg/kg of yucca extract, 3) MFA: basal diet+50 mg/kg of mineral feed additive, 4) NIS: basal diet+3% of NIS (nonspecific immunostimulating anionic alkali solution), and 5) Acidifier: basal diet+0.5% of acidifier (organic acid complex). During the growing phase of the feeding trial, There were no significant differences in average daily feed intake (ADFI) and feed conversion ratio (F/G) among treatments, but the Acidifier group showed higher average daily gain (ADG) than the MFA group (p<0.05). During the finishing phase, there were no significant differences in growth performance among treatments, however YE supplementation increased ADG and F/G by 3.1 and 6.15%, respectively, when compared to control group. Proximate nutrients (dry matter, DM; crude protein, CP; crude ash, CA; crude fat, CF; gross energy, GE; calcium, Ca and phosphorus, P) digestibility did not show any significant differences among the treatments. And there were no significant differences in DM, N and P excretion as well. The supplementation of environmentally friendly agents tended to increase carcass weight compared to control group. Pigs fed MFA showed significantly heavier (p<0.05) carcass weight than those fed control or Acidifier diets. Addition of these agents except for NIS to diet for growing-finishing pigs caused a similar feed cost/kg weight gain than control group. Therefore, present study suggested that the optimum environmentally friendly agent would be yucca extracts, considering the effects on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nutrient excretion, carcass characteristics and feed cost in growing-finishing pigs.

A total of 120 pigs were used to investigate the effects of yucca extracts on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nutrient excretion and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs fed different levels of dietary protein. Pigs were allotted into $2{\times}3$ factorial design by the supplementation of yucca extracts (YE, 0 and 120 mg/kg) and 3 levels of dietary protein (14, 16, 18% for early finisher and 12, 14, 16% for late finisher for low, medium and high protein diet, respectively). During the early finishing period (51~76 kg BW), no significant difference was found in growth performance regardless of the YE supplementation or dietary protein levels. Growth performance of late finishing pigs (76~101 kg BW) was also not significantly different among treatments. However, ADG of pigs fed YE diet was significantly improved (p<0.05) regardless of the dietary protein levels. For the overall period (51~101 kg BW), although adding YE to the diet and elevating the protein level showed better ADG, there were no significant differences on growth performance among treatments. Early finishers showed significantly higher crude protein, crude ash and crude fat digestibilities when they were fed diets supplemented with YE. Digestibilities of amino acids were not affected by YE. Late finishers did not show any significant differences in proximate nutrient digestibilities regardless of YE supplementation or dietary protein levels. YE tended to slightly improve the CP digestibility, however no significant difference was found with increased dietary protein levels. There was no significant difference in amino acid digestibilities with YE supplementation or dietary CP levels during the late finishing period. Dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) excretion in feces did not show any significant difference among treatments. Early finishing pigs also did not respond to the inclusion of YE or dietary protein levels (p<0.05). Fecal N excretion of early finishing pigs seemed to be lowered in pigs fed YE. Pigs fed medium dietary protein diet tended to excrete a higher amount of N during the early finishing period, but not statistically different. A slight increase in fecal N excretion was found with the increased level of dietary protein during the late finishing period. For ammonia nitrogen excretion, although there was no significance, the NH3-N content tended to be increased by the increased dietary protein levels and with YE supplementation. The NH3-N content in manure increased by 24.5% with YE supplementation. There were no significant differences in carcass weight, backfat thickness, carcass grade and loin eye area among treatments. However, pigs fed non-YE with low protein diet showed a significantly (p<0.05) low carcass ratio among treatments and there was significant (p<0.05) difference between the YE-added treatment and non YE treatment in carcass ratio. As for the feed cost, the cost of feeding high level protein was higher than that of medium level protein by 5% and low level protein by 9% (p<0.05). Therefore, based on this study, it could be concluded that environmentally friendly agents might play a role to some extent in finishing pigs from the aspect of pollution control, and that more than 14 and 12% of dietary protein for early finishing and late finishing pigs respectively do not necessarily guarantee high growth performance.

유입 하수의 성상은 하수처리장의 효율을 결정하는 중요한 요인이다. 따라서 하수의 성상을 이해하고 실시간으로 측정하는 기술은 유입 하수 성상에 상응하는 적절한 운전 전략을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 2005년 10월 1일부터 11월 21일까지 대도시 하수종말처리장 유입 수문에서 두 시간 간격으로 하수를 채취하여 성상을 분석하였다. 그 결과 하수의 유량 및 구성성분의 농도가 1일 단위로 일정한 형태를 갖는 것으로 밝혀졌는데, 오전 11시와 1시 사이에 가장 높은 값을 보였고, 새벽 5시에서 7시 사이에 가장 낮은 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 상관관계 평가에서 300 nm에서 측정한 하수의 흡광도는 하수 구성성분의 농도와 매우 밀접한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 실시간 측정이 가능한 흡광도와 유량, 그리고 반복되는 하수 성상을 이용하여 구성성분의 농도를 추정하는 기법을 개발하고자 하였다. 첫 번째로 흡광도와 구성성분의 농도와의 1차 회귀분석을 수행하였고, 두 번째로 흡광도와 하수 유량, 유입시간을 이용하여 훈련시킨 인공신경망을 이용하였다. 그 결과 두 방법 모두 하수 구성성분의 농도를 예측하는데 높은 정확성을 보였는데, 인공 신경망을 사용한 경우 예측값과 실측값의 RMSE(root mean square error) 값이 TSS의 경우 19.3에서 14.4, TCOD의 경우 26.7에서 25.1로, TN의 경우 5.4에서 4.1로, TP의 경우 0.45에서 0.39로 각각 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.
