The corn is one of the most important forage crop in Korea. The harvest time for silage affects dry matter (DM) yield and silage quality. This study was carried out to determine the effect of harvest time on the DM yield and nutritive value of corn forage at the Experimental Livestock Farm, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University, Suweon in 1991. Forage DM yield and DM content of corn forage significantly increased mainly due to increase of ear. And also the ear to total DM ratio increased from 30% to 55% as the harvest was delayed. Chemical composition of the corn forage was improved by reduction in crude fihr, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber as the harvest was delayed. This results indicated that the harvest time of corn forage plays an important role to determine DM yield and DM contents for silage materials.

A metal product obtained from an electrolytic reduction process, possesses less volume and radioactivity than those of the unprocessed spent oxide fuels. The chemical composition of the metal product varies according to the process condition. In this work, a basic study was performed to evaluate the chemical forms of the spent oxide fuel components in an electrolytic reduction process with the operation conditions. One of the most important operation conditions is the cell potential applied for the reduction cell. It is expected that $PU_{2}O_3$ is difficult to reduce even though the cell potential is negative enough to reduce the lithium oxide when the activity of $Li_{2}O$ exceeds 0.003. The reduction of actinide oxides via the reduction of $Li_{2}O$ is assumed to have a greater reduction yield than a direct reduction of the actinide oxides.

The reduction of some cyclic conjugated enones with electron-donating substituent on C-3 by sodium borohydride was accelerated on irradiation. The photo-enhanced reduction seems to undergo through zwitterionic species formed from the (n, ${\pi}^{\ast}$) triplet state of conjugated enones, followed by hydride attack to yield unsaturated or saturated alcohols.

시설 재배 시, 미세먼지의 잦은 발생은 피복재의 광투과율을 감소시키고 이는 작물의 생육에 간접적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세먼지 발생에 따른 폴리에틸렌(PE)과 폴리올레핀(PO) 필름의 광투과율 변화를 조사하고, 피복재의 광투과율 감소에 따른 봄철 재배 오이의 생육 변화를 확인하였다. 미세먼지 발생 챔버를 이용하여 PE와 PO 필름을 지속적으로 미세먼지에 노출시켰을 때, PE 필름에서 미세먼지 발생에 의한 광투과율 감소가 PO 필름보다 크게 나타났다. PE 필름에 인위적으로 먼지를 부착시켜서 대조구 대비 10, 20 및 30% 광투과율 감소 처리구를 설정한 후 오이를 재배하였을 때, 3월 말 이후 재배 후반기에서의 오이 생육은 광투과율 감소 처리구에서 증가하였으나, 누적 수확량은 대조구에서 가장 높았다. 봄철 오이 재배에서 미세먼지 발생에 의한 광투과율 감소는 3월 말 이후 시설 내 고온 노출에 의한 생육 지연을 줄일 수 있었으나, 전 생육 기간 동안의 광투과율 감소는 입사광량의 감소 및 광합성의 저하로 오이의 총 수확량을 감소시켰다.

This review focuses on the nutritional effects from birth until age at first calving on growth, mammary developmental changes, and first-lactation milk yield in heifer calves. The advancement in the genetic potential and the nutritional requirements of the animals has hastened the growth rate. Genetic selection for high milk yield has suggested higher growth capacity and hence increasing nutritional inputs are required. Rapid rearing by feeding high energy or high concentrate diets not only reduces the age of sexual maturity but also lowers the time period of attaining the age of first calving. However, high energy diets may cause undesirable fat deposition thereby affecting future milk yield potential. Discrepancies exist whether overfed or overweight heifers at puberty can influence the mammary development and future milk yield potential and performance. The data on post-pubertal nutritional management suggested that body weight at calving and post-pubertal growth rate is important in first lactation milk yield. There is a continuous research need for strategic feeding that accelerates growth of dairy heifers without reduction in subsequent production. Nutritional management from birth, across puberty and during pregnancy is critical for mammary growth and for producing a successful cow. This review will mostly highlight studies carried out on dairy breeds and possible available opportunities to manipulate nutritional status from birth until age at first calving.

Emission reduction of $CH_4$ (methane gas) from rice paddy soil is a very important measure for climate change mitigation in agricultural sector. In this study, we investigated the changes in crop yield and $CH_4$ emissions in response to application of biochar and fertilizers. The experimental site is located in Hwasung, Kyunggido and experimental design is the split-plot method with three replicates. Treatments included rice straw (RS) and biochar (BC) amendments nested with the conventional NPK fertilizer (NPK) and slow release fertilizer (SRF). Control was also prepared with the soil with the conventional NPK fertilization with no amendment. Measurement of $CH_4$ emission was conducted during the growing season of 2014 using a dynamic chamber method. The results showed that application of rice straw increased daily $CH_4$ emission rate by 15%, while application of biochar reduced daily $CH_4$ emission rate by 38%. When we combined biochar application with slow release fertilizer, $CH_4$ emission was reduced by 45%. Further, the crop yield was also increased in all treatments compared with the control except for the treatment of rice straw application with slow release fertilizer. Overall results imply that biochar amendment to agricultural soil can be an effective strategy to decrease annual $CH_4$ emission with no reduction in crop yield.

Ethanol was used as reducing agent to remove $NO_x$ exhaust from the stationary source. Pre-treatment with sulfuric acid over $Ag/Al_2O_3$ catalyst was dedicated to overcome the $SO_2$ poisoning effect. The $NO_x$ reduction experiment was performed under the simulated condition of power plant The increased surface area with higher CPSI devoted to increase de-$NO_x$ yield. De-$NO_x$ yield of the $NO_x$ exhaust containing 20 ppm of $SO_2$ increased after acid treatment with 0.7% $H_2SO_4$ over 4.0% $Ag/Al_2O_3$, where the increased dispersion of Ag found from the results of XRD and XPS was the dominant factor for the increased de-$NO_x$ yield. However, the reason for the decreased de-$NO_x$ yield with the acid treatment of higher concentration (1.0% and 2.0%) of $H_2SO_4$ was found to be due to the formation of $Ag_2SO_4$ crystallites found from XRD result. Acid-treated $Ag/Al_2O_3$ catalyst showed maximum de-$NO_x$ yield at higher temperature than non-treated $Ag/Al_2O_3$ catalyst did.

Agriculture is the lifeblood of the economy in Ghana, employs about 42% of the population work force and accounts for 30% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Corn (maize) is the major cereal crop grown as staple food under rain fed conditions, covers over 92% of the total agricultural area, and contributes 54% of the caloric intake. Issues of hunger and food insecurity for the entire nation are associated with corn scarcity and low production. The climate changes are expected to affect corn production in Ghana. This study evaluated variations of corn yields based on different climate conditions of rain-fed area in the Dangbe East District of Ghana. AquaCrop model has been used to simulate corn growing cycles in study area for this purpose. The main goal for this study was to predict yield of corn using selected climatic parameters from 1992 to 2013 using different climate scenarios. The Model was calibrated and validated using observed field data, and the simulated grain yields matched well with observed values for the season under production giving an R squared (R2)of 0.93 and Nash-Sutcliff Error(NSE) of 0.21. Study results showed that rainfall reduction in the range of -5% to -20% would reduce the yield from 1.315ton/ha to 0.421ton/ha (-21. 3%) whereas increasing temperature from 1% to 7% would result in the maximum yield reduction of -20.6% (1.315 to 1.09 ton/ha.). On the other hand, increasing rainfall from 5-20% resulted in yield increment of 68% (1.315-2.209 ton/ha) and decreasing temperature produce 7% increase in yield ( 1.315 to 1.401ton/ha). These results provide useful information to adopt strategies by the Government of Ghana and farmers for improving national food security under climate change.
