The objective of this study was to investigate differences in the faecal microbial composition among Lantang, Bama, Erhualian, Meishan, Xiaomeishan, Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire sows and to explore the possible link of the pig breed with the gut microbial community. Among the sows, the Meishan, Landrace, Duroc, and Yorkshire sows were from the same breeding farm with the same feed. Fresh faeces were collected from three sows of each purebred breed for microbiota analysis and volatile fatty acid (VFA) determination. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis revealed that samples from Bama, Erhualian, and Xiaomeishan sows, which from different farms, were generally grouped in one cluster, with similarity higher than 67.2%, and those from Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire sows were grouped in another cluster. Principal component analysis of the DGGE profile showed that samples from the foreign breeds and the samples from the Chinese indigenous breeds were scattered in two different groups, irrespective of the farm origin. Faecal VFA concentrations were significantly affected by the pig breed. The proportion of acetate was higher in the Bama sows than in the other breeds. The real-time PCR analysis showed that 16S rRNA gene copies of total bacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were significantly higher in the Bama sows compared to Xiaomeishan and Duroc sows. Both Meishan and Erhualian sows had higher numbers of total bacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and sulphate-reducing bacteria as compared to Duroc sows. The results suggest that the pig breed affects the composition of gut microbiota. The microbial composition is different with different breeds, especially between overseas breeds (lean type) and Chinese breeds (relatively obese type).

The link between antibiotic treatment and IF-associated liver disease (IFALD) is unclear. Here, we study the effect of antibiotic treatment on bile acid (BA) metabolism and investigate the involved mechanisms. The results showed that pediatric IF patients with cholestasis had a significantly lower abundance of BA-biotransforming bacteria than patients without cholestasis. In addition, the BA composition was altered in the serum, feces, and liver of pediatric IF patients with cholestasis, as reflected by the increased proportion of primary BAs. In the ileum, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) expression was reduced in patients with cholestasis. Correspondingly, the serum FGF19 levels decreased significantly in patients with cholestasis. In the liver, the expression of the rate-limiting enzyme in bile salt synthesis, cytochrome P450 7a1 (CYP7A1), increased noticeably in IF patients with cholestasis. In mice, we showed that oral antibiotics (gentamicin, GM or vancomycin, VCM) reduced colonic microbial diversity, with a decrease in both Gram-negative bacteria (GM affected Eubacterium and Bacteroides) and Gram-positive bacteria (VCM affected Clostridium, Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus). Concomitantly, treatment with GM or VCM decreased secondary BAs in the colonic contents, with a simultaneous increase in primary BAs in plasma. Moreover, the changes in the colonic BA profile especially that of tauro-beta-muricholic acid ($T{\beta}MCA$), were predominantly associated with the inhibition of the FXR and further altered BA synthesis and transport. In conclusion, the administration of antibiotics significantly decreased the intestinal microbiota diversity and subsequently altered the BA composition. The alterations in BA composition contributed to cholestasis in IF patients by regulating FXR signaling.

Corn-soybean meal diets are commonly used in the pork industry as a primary source of energy and protein. However, such a diet generally contains non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) which present a challenge in finding ways to improve their availability and digestibility. Dietary multi-carbohydrases (MCs) have been proposed as an efficient approach to utilize NSPs, and can result in improved growth performance and host intestinal fitness. In this study, we evaluated the effects of MC in lactation diets on gut microbiota composition of lactating sows and their litters. The experimental design contained two dietary treatments, a diet based on corn-soybean meal (CON), and CON supplemented with 0.01% multigrain carbohydrases (MCs). Sow and piglet fecal samples were collected on days 7 and 28 after farrowing. Based on the results from 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, MC led to changes in species diversity and altered the microbial compositions in lactating sows and their piglets. Specifically, the MC treatment induced an increase in the proportions of Lactobacillus in piglets. Clostridium and Spirochaetaceae showed a significantly reduced proportion in MC-treated sows at day 28. Our results support the beneficial effects of dietary carbohydrases and their link with improved production due to better host fitness outcomes and gut microbiota composition.

In aqueous tape casting of alumina slurry systems, the relationships between the suspension compositions and the defects of the dried tapes were discussed. The suspensions compositions were controlled with the ratios of the solids, water and organics binder contents. The effects of the thickness of dried tape and kinds of binder system were also examined. In the defect free region, the apparent viscosity showed nearly same value due to the count balancing effect of solid and organic binder content on the apparent viscosity. When water content was constant, increasing solid led to decrease of organic binder content. The defect free region was narrowed with increasing of casting thickness. When linear type acrylic emulsion binders system (D1000 and D 1035) were used, defect free zone formed the belt type in the triangle of solid, water and organic binder content according to the line of constant water contents. However the defect free region was not found in the cross-link type emulsion binder system (D 1050).

The scope of the study involves comparison of theaters in the west and those in the east, which experienced almost no exchange between them in the past, due to diverse restrains including a geographical one. The focus was put on the two types of these theaters whose similarities are meager historically and technologically, and whose link was not verified yet. However, similarities ,if any, will be identified among characteristics of these theaters so that the links such as liberalism, nomadic and participatory nature, non-linear space, ambivalence, mobile space-which are modern characteristics- could be connected from the past to the present, and those modern characteristics can be studied as a process where they could be sensed from the past structure or from each different target.

Virtual reality (VR) technology for construction project includes 3D CAD application and 4D CAD system for visualizing construction schedule data. 3D CAD application is more important in the design phase and 4D CAD system is effective tool in the construction phase. This study suggests a methodology to develop VR functions that can be used for project life cycle. The results of this study includes composition algorithms to make VR systems such as bird's eye view system, VR drawings system, VR telepresence system and VR risk management system. Those methodologies can be used for integrated VR system with nD CAD object.

A continuous linear operator T, on the space of entire functions in d variables, is PDE-preserving for a given set $\mathbb{P}\;\subseteq\;\mathbb{C}|\xi_{1},\ldots,\xi_{d}|$ of polynomials if it maps every kernel-set ker P(D), $P\;{\in}\;\mathbb{P}$, invariantly. It is clear that the set $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ of PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$ forms an algebra under composition. We study and link properties and structures on the operator side $\mathbb{O}({\mathbb{P}})$ versus the corresponding family $\mathbb{P}$ of polynomials. For our purposes, we introduce notions such as the PDE-preserving hull and basic sets for a given set $\mathbb{P}$ which, roughly, is the largest, respectively a minimal, collection of polynomials that generate all the PDE-preserving operators for $\mathbb{P}$. We also describe PDE-preserving operators via a kernel theorem. We apply Hilbert's Nullstellensatz.

본 논문은 데이터 통신의 전송효율 측면에서 OSI 표현계층에서 수행되는 문자의 원천부호화에 대하여 연구하였다. 데이터링크 계층의 HDLC와 PPP 프로토콜은 프레임과 프레임간의 식별 및 수신기의 동기화 패턴용으로 프레임의 맨 앞뒤에 FLAG 바이트를 삽입한다. 이 FLAG 바이트는 "01111110"의 8비트열로 구성된다. 그러므로 데이터비트열에서 "0"비트 이후 "1"의 비트가 연속하여 5개 이상 발생될 경우 데이터비트열이 플래그(flag)로 혼동되어 질 수 있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 HDLC에서는 데이터 비트열에 "1"의 비트가 5개 이상 연속될 경우 5번째 비트 다음에 "0"비트를 인위적으로 추가해 주고 있다. 그러므로 문자 부호에 연속 5개의 "1"비트열이 많이 발생하도록 부호화하게 되면 데이터 통신의 전송 효율에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 본문에서는 문자부호에 연속 5개 이상의 비트"1"이 발생 되지 않도록 하는 문자부호화 규칙을 제시하였다.
