In the case of cemented (W,Ti)C, Co is added as a binder for the formation of composite structures. However, the high cost of Co and the low corrosion resistance of the (W,Ti)C-Co cermet have generated interest in recent years for alternative binder phases. In this study, NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> was used as a binder and consolidated by the high-frequency induction heated sintering (HFIHS) method. The densification of both monolithic (W,Ti)C and (W,Ti)C-NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> cermet was accomplished within 3min. Highly dense (W,Ti)C and (W,Ti)C-NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> with a relative density of upto 99% were obtained within 3min by HFIHS under a pressure of 80MPa. The method was found to enable not only the rapid densification but also the prohibition of grain growth preserving the nano-scale microstructure. The average grain sizes of the sintered (W,Ti)C and (W,Ti)C-NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> were lower than 100nm. The addition of NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> to (W,Ti)C enhanced the toughness at the expense of the slight decrease in hardness. The hardness of (W,Ti)C and (W,Ti)C-NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> was significantly higher than that of (W,Ti)C-Co or (W,Ti)C-Ni. The fracture toughness and hardness values of (W,Ti)C, (W,Ti)C-5vol.%NiAl<SUB>3</SUB>, and (W,Ti)C-10vol.%NiAl<SUB>3</SUB> consolidated by HFIHS with a pressure of 80MPa and a induced current were 7.6+/-0.4MPam<SUP>½</SUP> and 2850+/-35kg/mm<SUP>2</SUP>, 8.5+/-0.3MPam<SUP>½</SUP> and 2610+/-37kg/mm<SUP>2</SUP>, 9.7+/-0.5MPam<SUP>½</SUP> and 2520+/-26kg/mm<SUP>2</SUP>, respectively.

Kim, J.H.,Choi, B.H.,Lim, H.T.,Park, E.W.,Lee, S.H.,Seo, B.Y.,Cho, I.C.,Lee, J.G.,Oh, S.J.,Jeon, J.T. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2005 Animal Bioscience Vol.18 No.12

This study deals with the characterization of porcine PIK3C3 and association tests with quantitative traits. PIK3C3 belongs to the class 3 PI3Ks that participate in the regulation of hepatic glucose output, glycogen synthase, and antilipolysis in typical insulin target cells such as those in the such as liver, muscle system, and fat. On the analysis of full-length mRNA sequence, the length of the PIK3C3 CDS was recorded as 2,664 bps. As well, nucleotide and amino acid identities between human and pig subjects were 92% and 99%, respectively. Five SNPs were detected over 5 exons. We performed genotyping by using a SNP C2604T on exon24 for 145 F$_2$ animals (from a cross between Korean native boars and Landrace sows) by PCR-RFLP analysis with Hpy8I used to investigate the relationship between growth and fat depot traits. In the total association analysis, which doesn' consider transmission disequilibrium, the SNP showed a significant effect (p<0.05) on body weight and carcass fat at 30 weeks of age as well as a highly significant effect (p<0.01) on back fat. In an additional sib-pair analysis, C allele still showed positive and significant effects (p<0.05) on back fat thickness and carcass fat. Moreover, the effects of C allele on the means of within-family components for carcass fat and back fat were estimated as 2.76 kg and 5.07 mm, respectively. As a result, the SNP of porcine PIK3C3 discovered in this study could be utilized as a possible genetic marker for the selection of pigs that possess low levels of back fat and carcass fat at the slaughter weight.

This study was performed to affirm any effects of methylthiouracil and estradiol 17β-cypionate administered to young bulls for short term fattening. Eighteen bulls of Korean native breed, approximately 1.5 to 2 years of age and 260㎏ to 360㎏ in weight, were used in this study. All bulls had received a basal ration of soiling corn and concentrate made up of 55% grains, 40% brans and 5% others, in a period of 40 days. Bulls were divided into six groups as follows: group C was not treated, group M-2 received 2g of methylthiouracil per day, group M-3 received 3g of methylthiouracil per day, group EM-0 was injected intramusculary with 25㎎ of estradiol 17β-cypionate in the neck region 10 days after the beginning of the fattening period, group EM-2 was injected with estradiol 17β-cypionate as above mentioned and simultaneously received 2g of methylthiouracil per day, and group EM-3 was injected with estradiol 17β-cypionate as above mentioned and simultaneously received 3g of methylthiouracil per day. The results obtained were summarized as follows. 1. The average daily gain was for group C: 0.83㎏, group M-2: 1.07㎏, group M-3: 1.40㎏, group EM-0, 0.93㎏, group EM-2: 0.95㎏, and group EM-3: 1.18㎏. The M-3 group gained significantly(P$lt;0.05) more weight than C and EM-0 group. There were no significant differences in the average daily gain between the groups injected with estradiol 17β-eypionate and the control group. 2. The average daily concentrate intake was as follows: group C: 5.47㎏, group M-2: 5.00㎏, group M-3: 4.52㎏, group EM-0: 5.21㎏, group EM-2: 4.35㎏, and group EM-3: 4.61㎏. The consumption of concentrate was decreased by 17% in the M-3 group compared with the C group. There was no significant difference in the soiling corn intake among these groups. 3. Feed consumed for 1㎏ gain were decreased by the supplementation of methylthiouracil. The consumption of DCP for 1㎏ gain was in group C: 0.82㎏, group M-2: 0.59㎏, group M-3: 0.41㎏, group EM-0: 0.70㎏, group EM-2: 0.59㎏, and group EM-3: 0.50㎏. The amounts of TDN required were; group C: 6.57㎏, group M-2: 4.76㎏, group M-3: 3.39㎏, group EM-0: 5.67㎏, group EM-Z: 4.87㎏, and group EM-3: 4.08㎏. The consumption of DCP and TDN for 1㎏ gain in the M-3 group was about a half of that in the C group. 4. There was not any significant difference in the increase in body measurements among the various groups. 5. The average margins in the fattening period of 40 days were for group C: 2,950won, group M-2: 5,327won, group M-3: 9,158won, group EM-0: 3,310won, group EM-2: 3,623won, and group EM-3: 5,575won. The margin of group M-3 was about three times higher than that of group C. In short, this experiment demonstrated that methylthiouracil when fed to young native Korean bulls at the proper level 40 days before slaughter would bring a noticeable effect on weight gain, feed efficiency and economic advantage. There were no advantages from the simultaneous injecting estradiol 17β-cypionate with methylthiouracil. The proper supplementation level of methylthiouracil would appear to be 3g per head per day in this experiment.

PECVD를 이용하여 제조된 미세결정질 p-i-n 실리콘 박막 태양전지에서, p 층은 태양전지의 윈도우 역할 및 그 위에 증착될 i {mu}c-Si:H 층의 'seed'층 역할을 수행하기 때문에, p층의 구조적 및 전기적, 광학적 특성은 태양전지의 전체 성능에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 SiH₄ 농도를 변화시켜 각기 다른 결정 특성을 갖는 p {mu}c-Si:H층을 제조하고 그 위에 i {mu}c-Si:H 층을 증착하여 p층의 결정 특성변화와 그에 따른 i {mu}c-Si:H 층 및 'superstrate' p-i-n 미세결정질 실리콘 박막 태양전지의 특성 변화를 조사하였다. P층의 경우, SiH₄ 농도가 증가함에 따라 결정분율 (Xc)이 감소하여 비정질화되었으며 그에 따라 dark conductivity가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 각기 다른 결정분율을 가지는 p 'seed' 층 위에 증착된 태양전지는, p 'seed' 층의 결정분율이 증가함에 따라 개방전압, 곡선인자, 변환효율이 경향적으로 감소하였다. 이는 p 층 결정분율 변화에 따른 p/i 계면특성 저하 및 그 위에 증착되는 i {mu}c-Si:H 층의 결함밀도 증가 등에 따른 태양전지 특성 감소 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 이를 분석하기 위하여 i {mu}c-Si:H 층의 전기적, 구조적 특성 분석 및 태양전지의 dark I-V 특성 등을 분석하고자 한다.

Cellular FOS(c-fos) protein is a transcription factor that forms heterodimers mostly with c-jun family and stimulates the transcription of genes containing AP-1 regulatory elements. This c-fos expression can control growth and differentiation of various precursor cells including myoblasts. The controls by c-fos gene have been identified for affecting skeletal muscle fiber traits which are the key determinants of meat quality in pigs. As a first step for identifying the relationship between c-fos gene and meat quality traits in cattle, we fully sequenced 1,443 bp of Hanwoo c-fos mRNA and analyzed expression patterns from various organs and muscle tissues. The sequence identities of Hanwoo c-fos with that of human, pig and mouse showed 89.8%, 93.3% and rib muscle from 7 organs and 9 different parts of muscles investigated. These results presented here can be used as a valuable marker for meat quality related traits in cattle with further verification.

Jung, W.Y.,Yu, S.L.,Seo, D.W.,Jung, K.C.,Cho, I.C.,Lim, H.T.,Jin, D.I.,Lee, Jun-Heon Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2012 Animal Bioscience Vol.25 No.10

Pigs may need to be exploited as xenotransplantation donors due to the shortage of human organs, tissues and cells. Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are a significant obstacle to xenotransplantation because they can infect human cells in vitro and have the potential for transmission of unexpected pathogens to humans. In this research, 101 pigs, including four commercial breeds (23 Berkshire, 13 Duroc, 22 Landrace and 14 Yorkshire pigs), one native breed (19 Korean native pigs) and one miniature breed (10 NIH miniature pigs) were used to investigate insertional variations for 11 PERV loci (three PERV-A, six PERV-B and two PERV-C). Over 60% of the pigs harbored one PERV-A (907F8) integration and five PERV-B (B3-3G, B3-7G, 742H1, 1155D9 and 465D1) integrations. However, two PERV-A loci (A1-6C and 1347C1) and one PERV-B locus (B3-7F) were absent in Duroc pigs. Moreover, two PERV-C loci (C2-6C and C4-2G) only existed in Korean native pigs and NIH miniature pigs. The results suggest that PERV insertional variations differ among pig breeds as well as among individuals within a breed. Also, the results presented here can be used for the selection of animals that do not have specific PERV integration for xenotransplantation research.

황완식,박준식,강영철,조진우,박순섭,이인규,강성군,Hwang, W.S.,Park, J.S.,Kang, Y.C.,Cho, J.W.,Park, S.S.,Lee, I.G.,Kang, S.G. 한국재료학회 2003 한국재료학회지 Vol.13 No.1

Electroplated Ni and Ni-W micro-molds using LIGA-like process for replication of micro-components such as microfluidic parts and micro optical parts have been investigated. In general, it is hard to produce micro-parts using conventional mechanical processes. Micro-mold formed by LIGA-like process could fabricate micro-parts with high aspect ratio. In this paper, fabrication and properties of electroplated Ni molds with varying applied current types as well as those of Ni-W molds were investigated. Ni molds fabricated under pulse-reverse current showed the highest hardness value of about 160 Hv. Ni-W molds showed the hardness of about 500 Hv which was much harder than that of Ni electroplated molds. The above results suggested that high quality micro-molds could be fabricated by using Ni electroplating of pulse-reverse type for core molds and sequential Ni-W alloys coating.

Angular dependences of SiO₂ etch rates at different bias voltages in CF₄, C₂F₆, and C₄F₈ plasmas

Kim, J.H.,Cho, S.W.,Park, C.J.,Chae, H.,Kim, C.K. Elsevier Sequoia 2017 THIN SOLID FILMS - Vol.637 No.-

The angular dependences of SiO<SUB>2</SUB> etch rates at different bias voltages for in CF<SUB>4</SUB>, C<SUB>2</SUB>F<SUB>6</SUB>, and C<SUB>4</SUB>F<SUB>8</SUB> plasmas were investigated using a Faraday cage system. When the bias voltage was -400V, the normalized etch yields (NEYs) reached a maximum at 70<SUP>o</SUP> in CF<SUB>4</SUB> and C<SUB>2</SUB>F<SUB>6</SUB> plasmas, while they decreased monotonically with ion-incident angle in a C<SUB>4</SUB>F<SUB>8</SUB> plasma. This was because the thickness of the steady-state fluorocarbon film formed on the SiO<SUB>2</SUB> surface was minimized at an ion incident angle of 70<SUP>o</SUP> in CF<SUB>4</SUB> and C<SUB>2</SUB>F<SUB>6</SUB> plasmas, while much thicker fluorocarbon films were deposited in a C<SUB>4</SUB>F<SUB>8</SUB> plasma. When the bias voltage was as high as -1200V, the thicknesses of the steady-state fluorocarbon films were very thin (less than 2A) and nearly unchanged at all ion-incident angles for CF<SUB>4</SUB> and C<SUB>2</SUB>F<SUB>6</SUB> plasmas, resulting in nearly the same shape of the NEY curves. In a C<SUB>4</SUB>F<SUB>8</SUB> plasma, the NEY showed a maximum at an ion-incident angle of 50<SUP>o</SUP> because the thickness of the steady-state fluorocarbon film was minimized at this angle.

Hepatoprotective effect of vitamin C on lithocholic acid-induced cholestatic liver injury in Gulo(-/-) mice

Yu, S.J.,Bae, S.,Kang, J.S.,Yoon, J.H.,Cho, E.J.,Lee, J.H.,Kim, Y.J.,Lee, W.J.,Kim, C.Y.,Lee, H.S. North-Holland ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2015 european journal of pharmacology Vol.762 No.-

<P>Prevention and restoration of hepatic fibrosis from chronic liver injury is essential for the treatment of patients with chronic liver diseases. Vitamin C is known to have hepatoprotective effects, but their underlying mechanisms are unclear, especially those associated with hepatic fibrosis. Here, we analyzed the impact of vitamin Con bile acid induced hepatocyte apoptosis in vitro and lithocholic acid (LCA) induced liver injury in vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice, which cannot synthesize vitamin C similarly to humans. When Huh BAT cells were treated with bile acid, apoptosis was induced by endoplasmic retiiculum stress related JNK activation but vitamin C attenuated bile acid induced hepatocyte apoprosis in vitro. In our in vivo experiments. LCA feeding increased plasma marker of cholestasis and resulted in more extensive liver damage and hepatic fibrosis by more prominent apoptotic cell death and recruiting more intrahepatic inflammatory CD11b(+) cells in the liver of vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice compared to wild type mice which have minimal hepatic fibrosis. However, when vitamin C was supplemented to vitamin C-insufficient Gulo(-/-) mice, hepatic fibrosis was significantly attenuated in the liver of vitamin C-sufficient Gulo(-/-) mice like in wild type mice and this hepatoprotective effect of vitamin C was thought to be associated with both decreased hepatic apoptosis and necrosis. These results suggested that vitamin C had hepatoprotective effect against cholestatic liver injury. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.</P>
