A total of 96 non-lean-type (Yorkshire $\times$ Landrace) $\times$ Duroc gilts and barrows weighing approximately 80 kg were randomly allocated to 24 pens under a 2 (sex) $\times$ 3 [diet; 3.4, 3.2, and 3.0 Mcal DE/kg {'high'-, 'medium'-, and 'low'-energy diets (HE, ME, and LE), respectively}] factorial arrangement of treatments. All animals were slaughtered approximately at 115 kg, after which carcass quality traits and grades and physicochemical and sensory characteristics of the loin related to meat quality were analyzed. The ADG and gain:feed were not affected by the sex or dietary treatment, whereas ADFI was greater in the ME vs HE group. Backfat thickness was greater in barrows vs gilts and also in ME and HE vs LE only in barrows. Enumerated carcass marbling and quality grade, which were highly correlated (r=0.56; P<0.01), were greater in barrows vs gilts. Physicochemical characteristics including the color, pH, drip loss and contents of moisture, protein, and fat of fresh loin, as well as sensory characteristics of fresh and cooked loin, were not affected by the sex or dietary treatment, except for shear force for cooked loin which was greater (P<0.05) in LE and ME vs HE. In conclusion, it is thought that ME is comparable to HE in terms of the effect on growth and carcass quality of finishing pigs, but that the relative effect of LE vs ME needs to be further studied.

Kinematic global positioning system precise point positioning (GPS PPP) technology is widely used to the several area such as monitoring of crustal movement and precise orbit determination (POD) using the dual-frequency GPS observations. In this study we developed a kinematic PPP technology and applied 3-pass (forward/backward/forward) filter for the stabilization of the initial state of the parameters to be estimated. For verification of results, we obtained GPS data sets from six international GPS reference stations (ALGO, AMC2, BJFS, GRAZ, IENG and TSKB) and processed in daily basis by using the developed software. As a result, the mean position errors by kinematic PPP showed 0.51 cm in the east-west direction, 0.31 cm in the north-south direction and 1.02 cm in the up-down direction. The root mean square values produced from them were 1.59 cm for the east-west component, 1.26 cm for the south-west component and 2.95 cm for the up-down component.

The genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of eleven herbaceous peonies grown in Korea were analyzed by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Twenty-four decamer RAPD primers were used in a comparative analysis of these Korean peony species. Of the 142 total RAPD fragments amplified, 124 (87.3%) were found to be polymorphic. The remaining 18 fragments were found to be monomorphic (12.7%) shared by individuals of all 11 peony species. Cluster analysis based on the presence or absence of bands was performed by Jaccard's similarity coefficient, based on Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Averages. Genetic similarity range was 0.39 to 0.90 with a mean of 0.64. This study offered a rapid and reliable method for the estimation of variability among different peony species which could be utilized by the breeders for further improvement of the local peony species. Also, the results propose that the RAPD marker technique is a useful tool for evaluation of genetic diversity and relationship amongst different peony species.

Purpose: To investigate the differences in clinical features and laboratory findings between group D and non-group D non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) gastroenteritis in children. Methods: A retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with NTS confirmed by culture study was performed. The clinical features and laboratory findings of group D and non-group D NTS were compared. Results: From 2003 to 2012, 75 cases were diagnosed as NTS at our center. The number of group D and non-group D patients was 45 and 30, respectively. The mean age was higher in group D than in non-group D patients (5.1 years vs. 3.4 years, p=0.038). Headaches were more frequently observed (p=0.046) and hematochezia was less frequently observed (p=0.017) in group D than in non-group D NTS gastroenteritis patients. A positive Widal test result was observed in 53.3% of group D and 6.7% of non-group D NTS cases (O-titer, p=0.030; H-titer, p=0.039). There were no differences in white blood cell counts, level of C-reactive protein and rate of antimicrobial resistance between group D and non-group D cases. Conclusion: The more severe clinical features such as headache, fever, and higher Widal titers were found to be indicative of group D NTS gastroenteritis. Additionally, group D NTS gastroenteritis was more commonly found in older patients. Therefore, old age, fever, headache, and a positive Widal test are more indicative of group D NTS than non-group D NTS gastroenteritis. Pathophysiological mechanisms may differ across serologic groups.

Carton clamps, one of forklift attachments, allow users to quickly handle shipping units such as unitized loads, large shipping cases, or crates without the requirement of pallets. As the use of palletless handling by clamp trucks increases, so does the need for simulation research on clamp truck handling. The frictional characteristics for various contact conditions of corrugated paperboards and their constituent boards were analyzed to obtain the data needed in the computer simulation for the handling of carton clamp truck. The overall mean of static-frictional coefficients between selected corrugated paperboards was 0.38 (±0.01), which was 1.3~1.6 times greater than 0.23~0.29 of the frictional coefficients between boards. The overall mean of static-frictional coefficients between the corrugated paperboards and the rubber contact pad was 0.82 (±0.02), which was about 1.1 to 2.8 times greater than 0.29~0.78 of the static-frictional coefficient between the linerboard and the rubber contact pad. The overall mean of kinetic-frictional coefficients between the corrugated paperboards was 0.35 (±0.01), and 0.76 (±0.02) between the corrugated paperboards and the rubber contact pad.

This research obtained fundamental data for the development of grape foods by investigating the preference for grape foods, popularization and commercialization plan of grape foods and obtained knowledge required in order to develop grape foods. The study used 354 consumers in Seoul and GyeongGi Province. The distribution of sex on research subjects was as follows. Male was 52.0% (184 persons) and female was 48.0% (170 persons). Age distribution varied by twenties and less than twenties being 30.8%, thirties being 26.3%, forties being 24.6% and the fifties and over being 18.4%. According to the results, preference for grape foods of subjects was that rice wrapped in grape leaves ($2.14{\pm}0.7$) and sweet steamed rice($2.12{\pm}0.8$) were the highest among staple food; grape vinegar($2.38{\pm}0.7$) and grape taffy($2.25{\pm}0.7$) were the highest among spices; grape jelly ($2.53{\pm}0.6$) and grape pudding($2.45{\pm}0.7$) were the highest among snacks; grape juice ($2.70{\pm}0.5$) and grape yogurt($2.59{\pm}0.6$) were the highest among beverages. Subjects responded to the fruit group among food groups harmonized with grape foods(p<0.01). 50.7% of subjects responded to "have to be delicious" and 25.1% of subjects responded to "nutritional balance" as the most important aspects of the development of grape foods. In the popularization and commercialization plan of grape foods, Subjects chose with respected importance, personal preference($4.15{\pm}0.8$), price($4.05{\pm}0.8$) and promotional strategy($4.00{\pm}0.9$). In conclusion, the food development and revitalization plan should use grapes to find out food materials suitable for grape mixture and nutritional balance. We will expect an increase population and commercialization of grape foods if we develop grape foods and promote strategically in consideration of the preference of consumers and the price of produce.

Lipid levels and fatty acid compositions of 20 species of subtropical fish caught off the coast of Jeju Island, Korea were determined. The fish were categorized according to total lipid (TL) content as follows; lean fish ($TL=1.19{\pm}0.32%$, n=10 species), low-fat fish ($TL=3.02{\pm}0.44%$, n=6 species) and medium-fat fish ($TL=6.87{\pm}1.23%$, n=4 species). The prominent fatty acids were saturated fatty acids (SFAs), at 16:0 and 18:0 monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), at 18:1n-9 and 16:1n-7, and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), at 22:6n-3, 20:5n-3 and/or 20:4n-6. Across all species, the percentages of PUFAs and SFAs were $38.0{\pm}7.89%$ and $34.3{\pm}3.08%$, respectively, with no significant difference between both groups (P<0.05), but showed higher proportions than that of MUFA group ($27.8{\pm}7.23%$) (P<0.05). The proportion of n-3 PUFAs was $27.1{\pm}8.68%$ across all fish species, similar to levels in other fishes from Korea. These results suggest that subtropical fish from Jeju Island are a good source of n-3 PUFAs for humans.

Objective: Our study aimed to evaluate the quality of radiomics studies on brain metastases based on the radiomics quality score (RQS), Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis Or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) checklist, and the Image Biomarker Standardization Initiative (IBSI) guidelines. Materials and Methods: PubMed MEDLINE, and EMBASE were searched for articles on radiomics for evaluating brain metastases, published until February 2021. Of the 572 articles, 29 relevant original research articles were included and evaluated according to the RQS, TRIPOD checklist, and IBSI guidelines. Results: External validation was performed in only three studies (10.3%). The median RQS was 3.0 (range, -6 to 12), with a low basic adherence rate of 50.0%. The adherence rate was low in comparison to the "gold standard" (10.3%), stating the potential clinical utility (10.3%), performing the cut-off analysis (3.4%), reporting calibration statistics (6.9%), and providing open science and data (3.4%). None of the studies involved test-retest or phantom studies, prospective studies, or cost-effectiveness analyses. The overall rate of adherence to the TRIPOD checklist was 60.3% and low for reporting title (3.4%), blind assessment of outcome (0%), description of the handling of missing data (0%), and presentation of the full prediction model (0%). The majority of studies lacked pre-processing steps, with bias-field correction, isovoxel resampling, skull stripping, and gray-level discretization performed in only six (20.7%), nine (31.0%), four (3.8%), and four (13.8%) studies, respectively. Conclusion: The overall scientific and reporting quality of radiomics studies on brain metastases published during the study period was insufficient. Radiomics studies should adhere to the RQS, TRIPOD, and IBSI guidelines to facilitate the translation of radiomics into the clinical field.
