Ten feeding trials were conducted to determine and to make the guideline for the optimum feeding rates in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus fed extruded pellets at various growth stages at the optimum rearing water temperature. The entire trials were grouped into four growth stages, namely the first stage of juvenile (5 and 9 g), the second stage of juvenile (20, 30, 40 and 50 g), growing (240 and 317 g) and sub-adult (384 and 525 g) stages with 2, 4, 2 and 2 feeding trials, respectively. In the first and second experiments, results indicated that the optimum feeding rates for the first stage of juvenile olive flounder weighing 5 and 9 g could be >5.17 but <5.52% and >4.44 but <4.64% body weight (BW)/day, respectively. In the third, fourth, fifth and sixth experiments, results suggested that the optimum feeding rates for the second stage of juvenile olive flounder weighing 20, 30, 40 and 50 g could be >3.47 but <3.50, >2.85 but <3.53, >2.58 but <3.04 and >2.36 but <2.50% BW/day, respectively. In the seventh and eighth experiments, results showed the optimum feeding rates for growing olive flounder weighing 240 and 317 g to be >1.03 but <1.25 and >0.85 but <1.0 % BW/day, respectively. In the ninth and tenth experiments, the optimum feeding rates in sub-adult olive flounder weighing 384 and 525 g were shown to be >0.69 but <0.7 and >0.55 but <0.8% BW/day, respectively. We will compare these results with the previous studies done by other research groups.

Okorie, Okorie E.,Bae, Jun Young,Lee, Jun-Ho,Lee, Seunghyung,Park, Gun-Hyun,Mohseni, Mahmoud,Bai, Sungchul C. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2014 Animal Bioscience Vol.27 No.1

This feeding trial was carried out to evaluate the effects of different dietary cadmium levels on growth and tissue cadmium content in juvenile parrotfish, Oplegnathus fasciatus, using cadmium chloride ($CdCl_2$) as the cadmium source. Fifteen fish averaging $5.5{\pm}0.06$ g (mean${\pm}$SD) were randomly distributed into each of twenty one rectangular fiber tanks of 30 L capacity. Each tank was then randomly assigned to one of three replicates of seven diets containing 0.30 ($C_0$), 21.0 ($C_{21}$), 40.7 ($C_{41}$), 83.5 ($C_{83}$), 162 ($C_{162}$), 1,387 ($C_{1,387}$) and 2,743 ($C_{2,743}$) mg cadmium/kg diet. At the end of sixteen weeks of feeding trial, weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR) and feed efficiency (FE) of fish fed $C_{21}$ were significantly higher than those of fish fed $C_{83}$, $C_{162}$, $C_{1,387}$ and $C_{2,743}$ (p<0.05). Weight gain, SGR and FE of fish fed $C_0$, $C_{21}$ and $C_{41}$ were significantly higher than those of fish fed $C_{162}$, $C_{1,387}$ and $C_{2,743}$. Protein efficiency ratio of fish fed $C_0$, $C_{21}$ and $C_{41}$ were significantly higher than those of fish fed $C_{1,387}$ and $C_{2,743}$. Average survival of fish fed $C_0$, $C_{21}$, $C_{41}$ and $C_{162}$ were significantly higher than that of fish fed $C_{2,743}$. Tissue cadmium concentrations increased with cadmium content of diets. Cadmium accumulated the most in liver, followed by gill and then muscle. Muscle, gill and liver cadmium concentrations of fish fed $C_0$, $C_{21}$, $C_{41}$ and $C_{83}$ were significantly lower than those of fish fed $C_{162}$, $C_{1,387}$ and $C_{2,743}$. Based on the ANOVA results of growth performance and tissue cadmium concentrations the safe dietary cadmium level could be lower than 40.7 mg Cd/kg diet while the toxic level could be higher than 162 mg Cd/kg diet.

The Advent of Information and Communication Technology and its Impact on Political Activities in Ghana and Nigeria

( Marcel Okorie ) 한국외국어대학교 글로벌정치연구소 2015 글로벌정치연구 Vol.8 No.2

Africa has witnessed a steady and rapid rise in internet penetration since the beginning of the 21st century. The use of the internet in politics has brought about dramatic changes in the traditional methods of carrying out political activities in Africa. This study examines the impact the internet has had on political activities in both Ghana and Nigeria. It was observed that the internet especially social media have been adopted by politicians in these countries as a new medium for campaigning, rating their performances through opinion polls and carrying out their activities as political parties and as a government. The internet have brought about a more effective means of election monitoring and have increased citizen’s interest and participation in political activities in both Ghana and Nigeria. There were lapses identified with the upsurge of internet usage in these countries such as the rise of personality attacks through the internet and also the concentration of internet users mainly in the main cities. The study concluded that a solid foundation for future successful elections have been laid in both Ghana and Nigeria with the proliferation of internet usage in these countries and therefore needs to be consolidated.

U. S. Okorie,E. E. Ibekwe,A. N. Ikot,M. C. Onyeaju,E. O. Chukwuocha 한국물리학회 2018 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.73 No.9

Within the framework of the modified factorization method, we solve the Schrodinger equation with the modified Yukawa potential. The energy spectrum is obtained using the Pekeris approximation scheme for the centrifugal term. The thermodynamic properties, including the vibrational partition function, vibrational mean energy, vibrational mean free energy, vibrational specific heat capacity and vibrational entropy, are calculated. As a special case, we compare our result with that work of Dong [Int. J. Quant. Chem. 107, 366 (2007)] and find good agreement.

본 실험은 치어기 넙치에 잇어서 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 사료내 첨가시 성장, 비특이적 면역반응 및 질병저항성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 사료내 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 수준별 첨가하여 실시였다. 실험어는 평균무게 3.2 g인 넙치 치어를 사용하였으며, 기초사료에 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 대조구, ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.01, 0.025%, 0.05% 및 0.1%를 각각 첨가하여 총 5개 실험구로 3반복배치하여 6주간 실시하였다. 총 6주간의 성장 실험결과, 면역증강물질인 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸의 첨가에 따르는 사료효율과 단백질전환효율에 있어서 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.1%를 공급한 사료구가 대조구와 다른처리구에 비하여 유의하게 높은 값을 나타냈다(P<0.05). 증체율과 일간성장율에 있어서는 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.1%를 공급한 사료구가 대조구, ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.01%, 0.025%를 첨가한 구보다 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었지만 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.05%구와는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 비만도에 있어서는 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.05%와 0.1%를 첨가한 구가 대조구와 첨가구보다는 유의적으로 높았다. 헤마토크리트치는 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.05%와 0.1%첨가한 실험구가 대조구와 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 0.01%와 0.025%를 첨가한 실험구에 비하여 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 혈청내 GOT에 있어서 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.05%와 0.1%를 첨가한 실험구가 대조구, ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.01%와 0.025%를 첨가한 실험구보다 유의하게 낮은 값을 나타내었다(P<0.05). 비특이적 면역반응 결과에 있어서는 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 0.05%와 0.1%를 첨가한 실험구가 혈청의 lysozyme 활성 및 두신 phagocyte의 chemiluminescent(CL) 반응에서 대조구, ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸 0.01%와 0.025%를 첨가한 실험구보다 유의하게 높은 값을 나타내었으나, 보체대체활성의 경로에 있어서는 전실험구간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 공격 실험 결과에서는 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 첨가한 실험구가 대조구에 비하여 초기폐사율이 낮음을 확인할수 있었으며, 상기 결과를 토대로, 넙치 치어의 경우 ${\beta}-1,3$ 글루칸을 0.05% 이상 0.1% 미만을 사료에 첨가하는 것이 성장, 사료효율 증진, 항산화능 및 질병저항성에 가장 좋은 효과를 나타낼 수 있을 것을 사료된다. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of ${\beta}-1,3$ glucan on growth and immune responses in juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus fed the white fish meal based diets for 6 weeks. Five experimental diets supplemented with ${\beta}-1,3$ glucan at 0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 % (Control, $G_{0.01},\;G_{0.025},\;G_{0.05}\;and\;G_{0.1}$, respectively) of diet on a dry-matter basis. Five experimental diets were formulated to be isonitrogenous and isocaloric to contain 50.0% crude protein and 16.7 kJ available energy $g^{-1}$. Fish averaging $3.2{\pm}0.1\;g\;(mean{\pm}SD)$ were randomly distributed in each aquarium as triplicate groups of 15 fish. Weight gain (WG, %), specific growth rate (SGR, %), and feed efficiency (FE, %) of fish fed $G_{0.1}$ diet were found significantly higher than those of fish fed Control, $G_{0.01},\;G_{0.025}\;and\;G_{0.05}$ diets (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference among the fish fed control, $G_{0.01},\;G_{0.025}$. Chemiluminescent responses (CL) of fish fed $G_{0.1}$ diet were significantly higher than those of fish fed the other diets. Serum lysozyme activities of fish fed $G_{0.05}$ and $G_{0.1}$ diets were higher than those of fish fed control, $G_{0.025}$ and $G_{0.05}$ diets. Fish fed $G_{0.1}$ diet showed a significantly lower cumulative mortality than did fish fed control diet throughout the challenge test (P<0.05). These results suggested that based on growth rate, feed efficiency, non-specific immunity and protection against microbial infections the optimum dietary ${\beta}-1,3$ gulcan could be greater than 0.05% but less than 1.0% in juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys oilvaceus.
