The purpose of this experiment was to determine and compare the digestibility of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in full-oil (no oil extracted) and de-oiled (oil extracted) corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) with different condensed distillers solubles (CDS) ratios. Six barrows ($29.6{\pm}2.3kg$) fitted with ileal T-cannula were allotted into a $6{\times}6$ Latin square design. Each period was comprised of a 5-d adaption period followed by a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. The five test diets contained 62% DDGS as the sole source of AA. A nitrogen-free diet was used to measure the basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as an index in each diet. The results showed that CP and AA were very similar in 5 DDGS, but the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of lysine (from 56.16% to 71.15%) and tryptophan (from 54.90% to 68.38%) had the lowest values and largest variation within the essential AA, which suggests reduced availability of AA and different levels of Maillard reactions in the five DDGS. The apparent ileal digestibility and SID of CP and most of AA in full-oil DDGS (sources 1 and 2) were greater (p<0.05) than de-oiled DDGS (sources 3, 4, and 5). Comparing the AA SID in the 5 DDGS, full-oil with low CDS ratio DDGS (source 1) had non-significantly higher values (p>0.05) than full-oil with high CDS ratio DDGS (source 2); however, the SID of most AA of de-oiled with low CDS ratios DDGS (source 3) were non-significantly lower (p>0.05) than de-oiled with high CDS ratio DDGS (source 4); and the de-oiled DDGS with middle CDS ratio (source 5) but with different drying processing had the lowest SID AA values. In conclusion, de-oiled DDGS had lower SID of CP and AA than full-oil DDGS; a higher CDS ratio tended to decrease the SID of AA in full-oil DDGS but not in de-oiled DDGS; and compared with CDS ratio, processing, especially drying, may have more of an effect on AA digestibility of DDGS.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition and amino acid (AA) digestibility of sunflower seed meal (SFSM) and to use this data to develop prediction equations for estimating AA digestibility for growing pigs. Ten SFSM were collected from five provinces in China. Twelve barrows ($38.8{\pm}4.6kg$), fitted with ileal T-cannula were allotted into two $6{\times}6$ Latin square designs. Each of six experimental periods comprised a 5-d adaption period followed by a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. The ten test diets contained 50% SFSM as the sole source of AA. Another nitrogen-free diet was used to measure the basal endogenous losses of crude protein (CP) and AA. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as an inert marker in each diet. There was considerable variation (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM in chemical composition (dry matter [DM]). The concentration of CP and ether extract (EE) ranged from 29.33% to 39.09% and 0.88% to 11.33%, respectively. Crude fibre (CF), neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre ranged from 21.46% to 36.42%, 38.15% to 55.40%, and 24.59% to 37.34%, respectively. There was variation among the ten SFSM in apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) for lysine and threonine, which ranged from 63.16 to 79.21 and 55.19% to 72.04% for AID and 67.03% to 82.07% and 61.97% to 77.01% for SID, respectively. The variation in CP and methionine ranged from 60.13% to 74.72% and 74.79% to 88.60% for AID and 66.70% to 79.31% and 77.16% to 90.27% for SID, respectively. Methionine was a good indicator to predict AA digestibility. These results indicate that conventional chemical composition of SFSM was variable (CV>10%) among the ten SFSM (DM). The results of AID, SID and prediction equations could be used to evaluate the digestibility of SFSM in growing pigs.

디젤 엔진은 출력 및 연료소비율이 우수하여 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 디젤엔진은 가솔린엔진에 비하여 배출가스 저감 기술 등에서 아직 해결해야할 문제점들이 많고, 대기오염의 주범이다. 디젤엔진에 있어 배기가스 재순환(EGR; Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 기술은 여러 촉매 기술에 비해 질소산화물(NOx) 배출 저감을 위한 가장 효과적인 기술이며 또한 경제성, 적용 가능성 측면에서도 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 EGR 시스템을 장착한 디젤 엔진을 대상으로 EGR이 디젤기관의 출력 성능 및 배기특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였고, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. EGR율이 증가함에 따라 IHP 및 BHP는 감소하며, 순수EGR에 의한 영향은 엔진회전수에 따라 차이는 있지만, 순수 EGR에 의한 BHP는 저속 운전에서는 약 9%, 고속운전에서는 3.5% 정도 감소하였다. 그리고 NOx는 EGR율이 증가함에 따라 감소하고, 엔진회전수 증가할수록 증가한다. 또한 매연(smoke)은 EGR율이 증가함에 따라서 증가하고, 엔진회전수가 증가할수록 감소한다. EGR율에 따라 NOx와 매연 배출을 동시에 최소로 할 수 있는 최적의 운전 상태가 존재하며, EGR율이 증가할 수록 NOx 및 매연을 위한 최적운전 속도는 증가한다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the shoot height at which the yield and nutritive value of wormwood (Artemisia montana) is optimized in order to provide information on its potential to support animal production (Experiment 1). A second objective was to determine how the essential oil (EO) concentration in wormwood hay and silage differ (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, Artemisia montana was harvested at five different shoot heights (20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 cm) from triplicate $1.8{\times}1.8m$ plots. Dry matter (DM) yield was measured at each harvest date and the harvested wormwood was botanically separated into leaf, stalk and whole plant fractions and analyzed for chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (DMD). Values for total digestible nutrients (TDN), digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) were subsequently calculated using prediction equations. Dry matter yields of stalk and whole plant increased linearly (p<0.001) and leaf yield increased quadratically (p<0.01) with shoot height, whereas the leaf/stalk ratio decreased linearly (p<0.001). As shoot height increased, there was a linear increase (p<0.001) in leaf DM, ether extract (EE) and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents and a quadratic increase (p<0.05) in leaf acid detergent fiber (ADF) and nitrogen free extract (NFE) contents, and stalk and whole plant DM (p<0.001), organic matter (OM, p<0.01 and p<0.05), NDF (p<0.001 and 0.05) and NFE (p<0.05) contents. However, there were decreases in leaf crude protein content (CP, quadratic, p<0.001) and stalk and whole plant EE content (linear, p<0.001), CP (quadratic, p<0.05) and ash (quadratic, p<0.05) contents. Digestibility of DM and TDN, and DE and ME value in leaves were not affected by increasing shoot height, but these measures linearly decreased (p<0.001) in stalk and whole plant. In Experiment 2, the hay had higher DM and CP concentrations, but lower EE concentration than the silage. Essential oil (EO) content in wormwood silage (0.49 g/100 g DM) was higher (p<0.05) than that in wormwood hay (0.32 g/100 g DM). Wormwood hay contained 25 essentail oils (EO) including camphor (10.4 g/100 g), 1-borneol (11.6 g/100 g) and caryophyllene oxide (27.7 g/100 g), and wormwood silage had 26 EO constituents including 3-cyclohexen-1-ol (8.1 g/100 g), trans-caryophyllene (8.6 g/100 g) and ${\gamma}$-selinene (16.8 g/100 g). It is concluded that the most ideal shoot height for harvesting wormwood is 60 cm based on the optimization of DM yield and nutritive value. Wormwood silage had a greater quantity and array of EO than wormwood hay.

Objective: The objective of this experiment was to determine apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) in 15 sources of soybean meal (SBM) produced from soybeans from different countries and subsequently to establish equations for predicting the AID and SID in SBM based on their chemical composition. Methods: Eighteen barrows ($57.9{\pm}6.1kg$) fitted with a simple T-cannula were allotted into three $6{\times}6$ Latin square designs. Each period comprised a 6-d adaption period followed by a 2-d collection of ileal digesta. The 15 test diets included SBM as a sole source of AA in the diet. Another nitrogen-free diet was used to measure basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. Chromic oxide (0.3%) was used as an inert marker in each diet. Results: The AID of lysine in SBM from China and USA tended to be greater than in SBM from Brazil (p<0.10). The SID of valine and proline in SBM from China was greater than in SBM from Brazil (p<0.05). The SID of lysine, threonine, cysteine and glycine in SBM from China tended to be greater than in SBM from Brazil (p<0.10). From a stepwise regression analysis, a series of AID and SID prediction equations were generated. The best fit equations for lysine in SBM were: AID lysine = 1.16 sucrose-1.81 raffinose+82.10 ($R^2=0.69$, p<0.01) and SID lysine = 1.14 sucrose-1.93 raffinose-0.99 ether extract (EE)+85.26 ($R^2=0.77$, p<0.01). Conclusion: It was concluded that under the conditions of this experiment, the oligosaccharides (such as sucrose and raffinose) can be used to predict the AID and SID of AA in SBM with reasonable accuracy.

Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the effects of $LR_3$ and $SP_6$ acupuncture on renal damage in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic mice. Methods : ICR male mice were stabilized for a week and divided into four groups: a normal mice group(N), no-acupuncture diabetic mice group(Control), $LR_3$ acupuncture diabetic mice group($LR_3$), and $SP_6$ acupuncture diabetic mice group($SP_6$). Diabetes was experimentally induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ(150 mg/kg) in citrate buffer(pH 4.5). For two weeks, $LR_3$ and $SP_6$ acupunctures were administered bilaterally at each point once a day. After two weeks, the animals' weight was measured and they underwent a laparotomy. Serum glucose and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were measured from the blood taken from the heart. We measured glucose, reactive oxygen species(ROS), peroxynitrite($ONOO^-$) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) in the kidney and compared expression levels of superoxide dismutases(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPx), nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-${\kappa}B$), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) and Interleukin-1 beta(IL-$1{\beta}$). Results : BUN significantly decreased in $LR_3$, $SP_6$ compared to the control group. $LR_3$ showed significantly decreased glucose compared to the control group. $LR_3$, $SP_6$ significantly decreased in ROS and $ONOO^-$ compared to the control group. $LR_3$ significantly decreased in TBARS compared to the control group. $SP_6$ significantly increased in expressions of SOD-1, catalase, and GPx compared to the control group. $LR_3$, $SP_6$ significantly decreased in COX-2 compared to the control group. $SP_6$ significantly decreased in IL-$1{\beta}$ compared to the control group. Conclusions : This study suggests that $LR_3$ acupuncture may be effective in controlling glucose and lipid peroxidation and that $SP_6$ acupuncture may have anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on renal damage in STZ-induced diabetic mice.

자동차 배기가스에 포함된 질소산화물은 심각한 대기 오염을 일으키는 주요한 요인 중의 하나이다. 질소산화물은 연소가 고온 조건에서 진행되는 경우에 생성되므로 일반적으로 배기가스 재순환 방법을 사용하여 연소 온도를 낮추어 저감시킨다. 배기가스 재순환 비율이 높아질수록 질소산화물의 양은 감소하나 연소가 불안정하게 되어 일산화탄소와 연소실 내의 연료가 연소 되지 않고 나오는 미연탄화수소의 양이 증가하여 오히려 오염물질을 증가시킨다. 본 논문에서는 연소 안정성 향상을 위해 연료 입자에 음파를 조사하여 연료 입자의 움직임을 증가시는 방안 및 배기가스재순환 비율의 증가에 따른 엔진 성능 향상에 대하여 연구하였다. 이에 대한 기본 연구로, 유동해석 소프트웨어를 사용하여 여러 주파수의 음파를 연료 입자에 조사하여 연료 입자의 속도 변화에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 해석 결과, 연료 입자의 크기가 크면 저주파의 음파에 의해, 연료 입자의 크기가 작으면 고주파의 음파에 의해 영향을 많이 받음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 연소 안정성 향상이 엔진 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 엔진 해석 모델을 사용하여 연구하였다. 해석 결과, 배기가스 재순환 비율을 15% 증가시킨 경우, 질소산화물의 농도가 45% 저감되고, 열효율이 10% 향상됨을 확인하였다.

한국산 벤토나이트에 0.2 M $AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ 수용액과 0.5 M NaOH 수용액을 혼합하여 제조한 수산화 알루미늄 올리고머를 층간 삽입시켜 다공성의 Al-pillared clay를 합성하여 특성 분석 및 열 안정성을 조사하였다. 합성한 aluminum-pillared clay는 수산화 알루미늄 올리고머의 OH/Al의 몰비가 0.25~2.25로 증가할수록 비표면적은 $104{\sim}228m^2/g$으로 증가하였고, 미세세공 면적과 미세세공 부피도 비표면적과 함께 증가하였다. 또한 BJH식으로 계산된 기공분포로부터 약 $40{\AA}$ 정도의 mesopore도 많이 생성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과는 수산화 알루미늄 올리고머가 층간 삽입되어 층간 공간을 확장하고 알루미늄 산화물이 층간에 지주가 되어 기공이 잘 발달하였기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 또한 OH/Al 몰비가 클수록 층간기둥이 잘 발달되어 기공이 더욱 증가되었음을 알 수 있었다. OH/Al의 비가 큰 수산화 알루미늄 올리고머 용액으로 제조된 Al-pillared clay는 층간 지주들이 많이 생성되므로서 층간 기둥 밀도를 증가시켜 열안정성을 향상시킨 것으로 생각된다.

삼척항 내 표층 퇴적물에 대한 지화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 입도, 유기물 및 중금속 분포 특성을 조사하였다. 삼척항 퇴적물은 sand, silt, clay가 혼재된 특성을 보였으며, 내항에는 세립질이 우세하였고, 외항에는 조립질이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 표층 퇴적물의 유기물(COD, TOC, IL) 오염정도는 내항이 외항보다 더 심한 것으로 나타났으며, 총질소 및 총인 농도도 내항이 더 높은 것으로 나타나고 있다. 또한 중금속 농도도 외항보다 내항에서 더 높았다(As 제외). 내항 표층 퇴적물의 높은 유기물 농도 및 C/N비로 보아 육상 유래 유기물의 오염 기여가 큰 것으로 판단된다. 표층 퇴적물의 입도, 이화학적 성분, 중금속 간의 상관성 분석에서 silt-clay는 중금속과 높은 상관성을 보였고, 유기물 지표와 중금속간의 상관성도 대체적으로 높게 나타났다. 중금속 연속추출결과에 따르면 Ni, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd 및 As는 이온교환, 탄산염, 산화물 형태를 합한 평균 존재비가 각각 14.8, 49.8, 39.1, 32.2, 51.8 및 26.6%이었다.
