The rendering residue generated by rendering disposal, an eco-friendly livestock carcass disposal method, is a useful agricultural resource. Methods for recycling this are being actively researched, and this study investigated the impact of applying rendered residue directly to soil on crop productivity and the agricultural environment. The chemical properties of the rendering residue were examined. The pH, OM, T-N, T-P, CaO, K₂O, and MgO content values were 5.47%, 59.8%, 9.22%, 2.96%, 2.16%, 0.51% and 0.10%, respectively. Treatment conditions were divided into control, inorganic fertilizer, and rendering residue, and rendering residue corresponding to 50, 100, and 200% nitrogen content was applied based on the amount of inorganic fertilizer nitrogen input. Greenhouse gases and ammonia were collected during the cultivation period. Rendering residue increased both the yield and growth of peppers and was effective in improving nutrients such as pH and OM of the soil after harvest. However, compared to inorganic fertilizer treatment, it increased emissions of nitrous oxide and methane as well as ammonia. It is judged that the direct agricultural use of rendering residue is difficult, and a utilization method is needed.

To evaluate fertilizer value of animal cadavers for agricultural recycling, fertilizer components of animal cadavers by pig and poultry were investigated using rendering and alkali (KOH) treatment methods. Total nitrogen concentrations in meat waste by pig and poultry using rendering treatment method were 7.80% and 9.30%, respectively. Total nitrogen concentration in meat waste of pig by KOH treatment method was lower than that by rendering treatment method. Organic matter concentrations in meat waste of pig and poultry ranged 87.8~97.4%. Total phosphorus concentrations in bone waste of pig using rendering and KOH treatment methods ranged 5.59~11.18%. Animal cadavers contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients essential to plant growth. The results of this study suggest that animal cadavers can supply some of the nutrient requirements of crops and is a valuable fertilizer as well.

현행 살처분 가축사체의 처리방안 중 하나인 랜더링 처리방법을 사용하여 나온 부산물을 액비화 시키기 위해 산 및 알칼리 분해제를 사용하여 액화시켰으며, 분해제별 주입량 및 처리시간에 따른 랜더링 부산물의 분해율과 분해속도를 조사하였다. 산 및 알칼리 분해제별 주입량 및 처리시간에 따른 랜더링 부산물의 잔존량을 조사한 결과 분해제 중 가장 높은 잔존량을 나타낸 것은 $HNO_3$으로 다른 분해제는 10분이 경과한 후 랜더링 부산물의 잔존량이 대부분 50% 이하로 나타났다. 랜더링 부산물의 분해속도 K ($hr^{-1}$)는 KOH의 경우 랜더링 부산물 무게 대비 25% > 30% > 20% > 15% > 10%순으로 25%를 넣어줬을 때 가장 빨리 분해가 되었다. $H_2SO_4$의 경우 랜더링 부산물 무게 대비 30% > 25% > 20% > 15% > 10%순으로 넣었을 때 빨리 분해되었으며, NaOH도 이와 비슷한 경향이었다. 분해제별 랜더링 부산물의 분해율은 $HNO_3$의 경우에는 순도가 약 61% 정도로 다른 분해제들보다 낮아 분해율이 현저히 떨어졌으며, KOH, NaOH 및 $H_2SO_4$의 경우에는 랜더링 부산물을 25%와 30%를 넣었을 때 큰 차이가 없어 경제성 및 효율성을 고려하였을 때 분해제를 랜더링 부산물의 무게 대비 25%를 넣었을 경우가 가장 적합하다고 판단된다.

Purpose : Resection of the epileptogenic zone in the parietal and occipital lobes may be relevant although only few studies have been reported. Methods : Eight patients with parietal epilepsy and nine patients with occipital epilepsy were included for this study. Preoperatively, all had video-EEG monitoring with extracranial electrodes, MRI, 3D-surface rendering of MRI using Allegro(ISG Technologies Inc., Toronto, Canada), and PET scans. Sixteen patients underwent invasive recording with subdural grid. Eight had parietal resection including the sensory cortex in two. Seven had partial occipital resection. Two underwent total unilateral occipital lobectomy. The extent of the resection was made based mainly on the data of invasive EEG recordings, MRI, and 3D-surface rendering of MRI, not on the intraoperative electrocorticographic findings as usually done. During resection, electrocortical stimulation was performed on the motor cortex and speech area. Results : Out of eight patients with parietal epilepsy, three had sensory aura, two had gustatory aura, and two had visual aura. Six of nine patients with occipital epilepsy had visual auras. All had complex partial seizures with lateralizing signs in 15 patients. Four had quadrantopsia. One had mild right hemiparesis. Abnormality in MRI was noticed in six out of eight parietal epilepsy and in eight out of nine occipital epilepsy. 3D-surface rendering of MRI visualized volumetric abnormality with geometric spatial relationships adjacent to the normal brain, in all of parietal and occipital epilepsy. Surface EEG recording was not reliable in localizing the epileptogenic zone in any patient. The subdural grid electrodes can be implanted on the core of the structural abnormality in 3D-reconstructed brain. Ictal onset zone was localized accurately by subdural grid EEGs in 16 patients. Motor cortex in nine and sensory speech area in two were identified by electrocortical stimulation. Histopathologic findings revealed cortical dysplasia in 10 patients ; tuberous sclerosis was combined in two, hamartoma and ganglioglioma in one each, and subpial gliosis in six. Eleven patients were seizure free at follow-up of 6 months to 37 months(mean 19.7 months) after surgery. Seizures recurred in two and were unchanged in one. Six produced transient sensory loss and one developed hemiparesis and tactile agnosia. One revealed transient apraxia. Two patients with preoperative quadrantopsia developed homonymous hemianopsia. Conclusion : This study suggests that surgical treatment was relevant in parietal and occipital epilepsies with good surgical outcome, without significant neurologic sequelae. Neuroimaging studies including conventional MRI, 3Dsurface rendering of MRI were necessary in identifying the epileptogenic zone. In particular, 3D-surface rendering of MRI was very helpful in presuming the epileptogenic zone in patients with unidentifiable lesion in the conventional MRI, in planning surgical approach to lesions, and also in making a decision of the extent of the epileptogenic zone in patients with identifiable lesion in conventional MRI. Invasive EEG recording with the subdural grid electrodes helped to confirm a core of the epileptogenic zone which was revealed in 3D-surface rendered brain.

Polyacrylontrile fiber was modified with argon low temperature plasma by RF glow discharge at 240 mTorr, 40 W to investigate the surface morphological changes and mechanical characteristics such as elongation, tenacity, and modulus. Analysis of the SEM images revealed that the plasma treatment resulted in significant ablation on the surfaces rendering a severe crack formation. The morphological changes were evident with short treatment time of argon plasma although longer treatment time damaged the surface more severely. The mechanical characteristics such as tenacity and elongation were deteriorated due to the plasma treatment. The tenacity of the fiber treated with argon-plasma for 5 min showed a decreased value up to 21.9 % when compared to the untreated fiber. While the corresponding initial modulus(0 - 1 %) increased markedly up to 44.3 %.

BACKGROUND: Liquid fertilizers can provide nutrients to crops effectively and quickly. Amino acid liquid fertilizers produced by decomposing the residues of rendered livestock carcasses are expected to be effective in improving the productivity and quality of crops. METHODS AND RESULTS: The treatment conditions for maize cultivation were control (Cn), inorganic fertilizer (IF), inorganic fertilizer and rendering residue liquid fertilizer (IF+RALF), compost (CP), compost and rendering residue liquid fertilizer (CP+RALF). Crop productivity, sugar content, and nutrient uptake were investigated after maize harvest in the field applied with liquid fertilizers. Maize yields ranged from 87.6-158 g/plant, and the yield increased by 7.9% and 12.9% in IF+RALF IF+RALF and CP+RALF than in IF and CP, respectively. The maize sugar content increased in the range of 0.1-0.5 brix % by rendering residue liquid fertilizer (RALF) fertilization, and the sugar content was the highest in CP+RALF. There was no significant change in soil chemical properties of the soil due to liquid fertilizer treatment. CONCLUSION(S): RALF increased yield and sugar content in maize cultivation, and fertilization with organic fertilizers was more effective for maize cultivation than inorganic fertilizers. Residues of rendered livestock carcass can be recycled as amino acid fertilizers, which can be effectively used for crop production and quality improvement.

본 연구는 랜더링처리 가축사체 부산물의 농업적 재활용을 위한 퇴비화의 최적 톱밥 혼합조건을 구명하기 위하여 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 비율을 100 : 0, 50 : 50 및 30 : 70으로 혼합하여 퇴비화 초기의 물질변환과 퇴비화 완료 후 퇴비 품질을 조사하였다. 퇴비의 온도, pH, Ammonia 및 $CO_2$의 발생은 시험개시 3일째 급격히 증가하였으며, 그 이후 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하였고, 유기물함량은 각각의 혼합비율에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 비율이 100 : 0 처리구에서는 퇴비화의 진행속도가 느리거나 온도가 적정수준까지 상승하지 못하는 등의 문제점이 발생하였고, 30 : 70 처리구에서는 퇴비화 과정에서 유기물대 질소비가 부산물비료 공정규격 50이하를 충족시키지 못하였다. 따라서 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥의 혼합비율은 100 : 0과 30 : 70에 비해서 50 : 50이 가장 적합하였다. 랜더링처리 가축사체와 톱밥을 50 : 50으로 혼합하여 제조된 퇴비의 유기물 규격함량과 유해물질(As, Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb 및 Zn)의 함량 및 그 밖의 규격 (유기물대질소비, 염분함량 및 수분함량)을 조사한 결과 비료 공정규격을 충족시키는 결과를 나타내었고, 추후 퇴비의 상품화를 위해서는 병원성 미생물, 대장균, 살모넬라균 및 부숙도 조사를 통한 안전성 검토가 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Burials for the rapid disposal of carcasses have diverse and profound effects on the rural living condition, natural environment, and local economy throughout construction, management and final destruction of burials. In this study, possible residue excavated from standard burials, storage using FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) tanks, and microbial-treated burials are characterized as carcasses, contaminated soil by leachate, and wasted plastic film. Treatment technologies for volume reduction of the residue including composting, rendering, and thermal hydrolysis were investigated. If the solid and liquid residues generated during volume reduction treatment are directly transferred to the environmental facilities, it may cause disorder due to high concentrations of organics, antibiotics, and lipid. Benefits and drawbacks of composting as a volume reduction techniques are extensively investigated. We also discussed that proper treatment of excavated soils and the reusing the treated soil as agricultural purpose. For the protection of public health and worker's hygiene, treatment criteria including produced residue qualities, and quality standards for the treated soil as agricultural use are required. In addition, Scientific manual for the proper treatment of residues is required. It is necessary to consider the establishment of a pretreatment facility to the occurrence of large-scale residue treatment.

Chinese Hamster Ovary( CHO) cells were cultured on the surface-modified polymers described in the previous study( "Polymer Surfaces for Cell Adhesion. 1. Surface Modification of Polymers and ESCA Analysis, " J. of KOSOMBE, Vol. 10, No. 1, 43-51, 1989). Among the physicochemical treatment methods. the chloric acid treatment was found to be the best method of rendering the polymer surfaces adhesive for CHO cells probably due to the high density of hydroxyl groups on the surface. Among the biological methods, the fibronectin treatment was best for CHO cell-compatibility probably due to specific active sites existed on the tell-binding domains of the fibronectin structure. When we compare the cell-compatibility of the chloric acid - and the fibronectin -treated PET surfaces, the number of cells attached on the surfaces were increased by 460.5 % and 559.0 % and, respectively, after 32 hr CHO cell culture, compared to that of untreated PET.eated PET.

Objectives : This study was conducted for objective verification of effects of spiral taping therapy for the patients with motor disturbance. Methods : To verify whether spiral taping therapy is effective for treating motor disturbance from cervical sprain, 28 patients were randomly allocated into the control and experiment groups. Then 23 subjects who fulfilled the experiment requirements were measured for lateral rotation angle using the goniometer. Changes in rotation were observed and compared. Control group received acupuncture and herbal acupuncture treatment, whileas the experiment group received spiral taping therapy in addition. Results : Differences in age and the degree of motor disturbance were disregarded in comparison of the groups prior to rendering treatments. For the control group, significant changes were observed after the second treatment until the termination of treatment. For the experiment group, significant changes were observed after the first treatment until the termination of treatment. Difference between the groups was insignificant but experiment group with spiral taping therapy showed better results. Conclusion : Spiral taping therapy can be an effective complementary treatment method for treating neck motor disturbance. Further studies in the subject should be conducted to yield more concrete verification.
