The effects of guar gum (GG) and xanthan gum (XG) at different concentrations (0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6% w/w) on the rheological properties of Korean waxy rice starch (WRS) pastes were evaluated under both steady and dynamic shear conditions. The flow properties of WRS-gum mixtures were determined from the rheological parameters of the power law model. The addition of GG and XG to WRS resulted in an increase in the apparent viscosity ($\eta_{a,100}$) and consistency index (K) values obtained from power law model. The flow behavior index (n) values of the WRS-XG mixtures decreased with an increase in gum concentration while there was only a marginal difference between n values for the WRS-GG mixtures. Dynamic moduli (G', G", and $\eta^*$) values in the WRS-gum mixture systems also increased with an increase in gum concentration. WRS-XG mixtures had higher dynamic moduli and lower tan $\delta$ (ratio of G"/G') values than WRS-GG mixtures, indicating that the higher dynamic rheological properties of WRS-XG can be attributed to an increase in the viscoelasticity of the continuous phase in the starch-gum mixture systems, which was due to the higher viscoleastic properties of XG compared to GG. The dynamic ($\eta^*$) and steady shear ($\eta_a$) viscosities of the WRS-XG paste at a 0.2% gum concentration followed the Cox-Merz superposition rule.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells that present immunosuppressive effects in experimental and clinical trials targeting various rare diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition, recent studies have reported tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (WRS) possesses uncanonical roles such as angiostatic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, little is known about the function of WRS in MSC-based therapy. In this study, we investigated if a novel factor, WRS, secreted from MSCs has a role in amelioration of IBD symptoms and determined a specific mechanism underlying MSC therapy. Experimental colitis was induced by administration of 3% DSS solution to 8-week-old mice and human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUCB-MSCs) were injected intraperitoneally. Secretion of WRS from hUCB-MSCs and direct effect of WRS on isolated $CD4^+$ T cells was determined via in vitro experiments and hUCB-MSCs showed significant therapeutic rescue against experimental colitis. Importantly, WRS level in serum of colitis induced mice decreased and recovered by administration of MSCs. Through in vitro examination, WRS expression of hUCB-MSCs increased when cells were treated with interferon-${\gamma}$ ($IFN-{\gamma}$). WRS was evaluated and revealed to have a role in inhibiting activated T cells by inducing apoptosis. In summary, $IFN-{\gamma}$-mediated secretion of WRS from MSCs has a role in suppressive effect on excessive inflammation and disease progression of IBD and brings new highlights in the immunomodulatory potency of hUCB-MSCs.

본 연구는 반추위 및 십이지장 cannula를 동시장착한 거세한우 3두 (평균체중 $623{\pm}18.5kg$)를 공시하여 in situ 기법으로 수확시기별 총체 벼 사일리지의 한우 생체 영양소 분해율 및 TDN을 분석하고자 실시하였다. 총체벼 사일리지의 조단백질 함량 (평균 4.81%)은 황숙기를 제외하고는 수확시기가 늦어질수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 총체벼 사일리지 건물의 반추 위 시간대별 분해율은 유숙기에서 배양 후 12시간 이후부터 다른 수확시기에 비해서 다소 낮은 경향을 보였다. 반추위 단백질 a-fraction은 유숙기에서 호숙기에 비해 유의성있게 높았고 (p<0.05), b-fraction의 경우, 황숙기와 호숙기가 다른 수확시기의 총체벼 사일리지보다 통계적으로 높게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 반추위 EPD는 황숙기가 다른 수확시기에 비해 수치적 (호숙기 및 유숙기) 및 통계적 (완숙기)으로 높게 나타났다. 소화장관별 총체벼 사일리지 단백질 소화율에서는 전체적으로 수확시기별 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 한우 생체 사료가치 평가를 통한 총체벼 사일리지의 TDN은 황숙기가 다른 수확시기에 비해 통계적 (유숙기) 및 수치적 (호숙기 및 완숙기)으로 높게 나타났다. 현재 연구 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 거세한우 생체 내 총체 벼 사일리지는 황숙기에 수확 시 그 사료가치가 가장 높을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 보다 정확한 사료가치 평가를 위해서 in vivo 반추위 발효 패턴 탐색 및 수확시 영양소 손실 최소화 등의 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Although the fatigue design curve of ASME Code has enough margin with respect to alternating stress and cycles, the welding residual stress(WRS) should be included in fatigue analysis. In this paper, WRS distribution in a nozzle with dissimilar metal weldment was obtained by finite element analysis and was added in fatigue analysis. The fatigue analysis was performed by following the ASME Code including thermal and stress analysis applying with postulated 30 transient conditions. The calculated results of a cumulative fatigue usage factors(CUF) were compared for the case of the models with or without WRS effects. The results showed that the CUF at weldment and heat affected zone was affected by the WRS.

감각신경성 난청의 원인 중 하나는 내이에 존재하는 와우(cochlea)의 기능적 이상 때문이다. 와우에서 내유모세포(inner hair cell, IHC)나 신경의 기능적 이상이 있는 곳을 'dead region'이라고 한다. 보청기에서 dead region에 속하는 주파수 영역의 증폭은 효과가 미약한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 dead region의 위치에 따른 음성신호의 인지 능력 비교와 dead region이 존재할 때 보청기의 효과적인 이득값을 알아보기 위해 WRS 검사와 선호도 조사를 실시하였다. WRS(Word Recognition Score)검사와 선호도 조사를 위해 정상 청력 능력을 지닌 성인 남녀 8명을 대상으로, white noise와 babble noise를 이용하여 신호 대 잡음비(SNR) 0dB의 조건으로 검사음과 혼합하였으며, dead region의 영역을 세 가지로 분류하였다. 주파수 영역에 따라 low-frequency, mid-frequency, high-frequency dead region으로 나누고, 각 dead region에 따라 14.5 dB, 11.5 dB, 6 dB의 증폭 이득을 다르게 하여 결과를 비교하였다. dead region의 위치에 따른 검사 결과는 각 영역별로 차이가 있었다. WRS 검사결과 low-frequency dead region일 때 보다, mid-frequency dead region나 high-frequency dead region일 때의 WRS점수와 선호도 평가가 높게 나왔으며, 증폭 이득값의 차이를 비교해 보았을 때, 14.5 dB의 이득에 비해 낮은 이득을 주었을 때 WRS 검사 결과값이 더 높게 나왔으며, 높은 이득일수록 선호도 조사에서 낮은 점수를 받았다.

Two experiments were carried out to investigate i) the effects of four levels of lactic acid bacteria inoculants (LAB; 0, $2{\times}10^5$, $3{\times}10^5$ and $4{\times}10^5$ cfu/g fresh forage) and two physical forms of rice straw (whole and chopped rice straw) on silage fermentation quality and nutritive value of rice straw (RS) silage for lactating Holsteins and ii) the effects of the replacement of corn silage (CS) with different inclusion levels (0, 25 and 50%) of LAB treated RS on lactating performance of Holstein dairy cows. Rice straw packed with stretch film was ensiled for 45 d. The results showed that the higher level of LAB inoculants in the silage quadratically decreased pH, $NH_3$-N and acetic acid concentrations and increased the contents of lactic acid and total organic acids. The CP content and DM losses in the silage declined linearly as the level of LAB addition was increased. Compared with whole-plant rice straw silage (WRS), chopped rice straw silage (CRS) dramatically reduced pH by 0.83. The concentrations of $NH_3$-N were similar in WRS and CRS and both were less than 50 g/kg of total N. Chopping rice straw before ensiling significantly enhanced the lactic acid concentration and total organic acids content whereas the concentration of acetic acid declined. The CP, NDF and ADF content of CRS was 13.4, 5.9 and 10.2% lower than in WRS, respectively. Except for butyric acid concentration, significant interaction effects of inoculation level and physical form of RS were found on all fermentation end-products. Our findings indicated that milk yield and composition were not affected by different level of RS inclusion. However, because of the lower cost of WRS, cows consuming a ration in which WRS was partially substituted for CS had 3.48 Yuan (75% CS+25% WRS) and 4.56 Yuan (50% CS+50% WRS) more economic benefit over those fed a CS-based ration. It was concluded that the chopping process and LAB addition could improve the silage quality, and that substitution of corn silage with RS silage lowered the cost of the dairy cow ration without impairing lactation performance.

In this paper, we propose a hearing impairment simulator considering reduced frequency selectivity of the hearing impaired, and verify it's performance through experiments. The reduced frequency selectivity was embodied by spectral smearing using linear prediction coding(LPC). The experiments are composed of 4 kinds of tests; pure tone test, speech reception threshold(SRT) test, and word recognition score(WRS) test without spectral smearing and with spectral smearing. The experiments of the hearing impairment simulator were performed with 9 subjects who have normal hearing. The amount of spectral smearing was controlled by LPC order. The percentile score of WRS test without smearing is $89.78{\pm}2.420%$. The scores of WRS with 24th LPC order and with 8th LPC order are $88.00{\pm}3.556%$ and $83.78{\pm}2.123%$ respectively. It is verified that WRS score is lowered by decreasing LPC order. This is a reasonable result considering that spectral smearing is getting heavier according to decreasing LPC order. It is confirmed that spectral smearing using LPC simulates the reduced frequency selectivity of the hearing impaired and affects the clearness of speech reception.

The scope of this study is the comparison between experimental results of tests performed on a base isolated building using helical wire rope isolators (WRs), and results of Nonlinear Response History Analyses (NRHAs) performed using SAP 2000, a commercial software for structural analysis. In the first stage of this research, WRs have been tested under shear deformation beyond their linear range of deformation, and analytical models have been derived to describe the nonlinear response of the bearings under different directions of loading. On the following stage, shaking table tests have been carried out on a 1/3 scale steel model isolated at the base by means of curved surface sliders (CSS) and WRs. The response of the structure under ground motion excitation has been compared to that obtained using numerical analyses in SAP 2000. The feasibility of modelling the nonlinear behavior of the tested isolation layer using multilinear link elements embedded in SAP 2000 is discussed in this paper, together with the advantages of using WRs as supplemental devices for CSSs base isolated structures.
