Glyconutrients help in the body’s cell communication. Glyconutrients and synbiotics are promising options for improving immune function. Therefore, we hypothesized that combining synbiotics and glyconutrients will enhance pig nutrient utilization. 150 pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc), initially weighing 58.85 ± 3.30 kg of live body weight (BW) were utilized to determine the effects of synbiotics-glyconutrients (SGN) on the pigs’ performance, feed efficiency, gas emission, pork traits, and composition of fatty acids. The pigs were matched by BW and sex and chosen at random to 1 of 3 diet treatments: control = Basal diet; TRT1 = Basal diet + SGN 0.15%; TRT2 = Basal diet + SGN 0.30%%. The trials were conducted in two phases (weeks 1–5 and weeks 5–10). The average daily gain was increased in pigs fed a basal diet with SGN (p = 0.036) in weeks 5–10. However, the apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, nitrogen, and gross energy did not differ among the treatments (p > 0.05). Dietary treatments had no effect on NH3, H2S, methyl mercaptans, acetic acids, and CO2 emissions (p > 0.05). Improvement in drip loss on day 7 (p = 0.053) and tendency in the cooking loss were observed (p = 0.070) in a group fed basal diets and SGN at 0.30% inclusion level. The group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN had higher levels of palmitoleic acid (C16:1), margaric acid (C17:0), omega-3 fatty acid, omega-6 fatty acid, and ω-6: ω-3 ratio (p = 0.034, 0.020, 0.025, 0.007, and 0.003, respectively) in the fat of finishing pigs. Furthermore, group supplemented with 0.30% of SGN improved margaric acid (C17:0), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidic acid (C20:0), omega 6 fatty acid, omega-6 to omega-3 ratio, unsaturated fatty acid, and monounsaturated fatty acid (p = 0.037, 0.05, 0.0142, 0.036, 0.033, 0.020, and 0.045, respectively) in the lean tissues of finishing pigs compared to pigs fed with the control diets. In conclusion, the combination of probiotics, prebiotics, and glyconutrients led to higher average daily gain, improved the quality of pork, and more favorable fatty acid composition. Therefore, these results contributed to a better understanding of the potential of SGN combinations as a feed additive for pigs.

중국 총리 리커챵(李克强) 중국-ASEAN(아세안) 박람회 연설 텍스트의 수사학적 분석

OLIVIER BAILBLE,손지윤 한국중국언어문화연구회 2015 한중언어문화연구 Vol.- No.37

The opening speech in the 10th anniversary of China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit Conference has characters of both ritualistic ceremony's speech and public political speech considering the meeting of leaders of ASEAN allied powers. This kind of speech is a form of public mass communication which unilaterally delivers the position of a country or the opinion of it in front of lots of viewers in the oral form using given text, and should appeal to the emotion of audience inducing their compliment and favor, suggest the blueprint of future to them and lead positive reaction from them by way of expressing the intended political intentions. The opening speech in this manuscript is equipped with the ritualistic and political components, amiable contents such as remembrance of past, compliment and celebration. And proper ideas and arrangement are suited to the purpose of the occasion in accordance with reporting an important policy presenting future situation and specific issues and persuading audience about them. In addition, Li Keqiang, who has strong ethos and inclination to 'progress', has an important role in amplifying the influence of speech. All the linguistic and non-linguistic expressions used in the speech are also balanced in view of ritualistic ceremony's speech and public political speech.

Efficient Implementation of the MQTT Protocol for Embedded Systems

( Olivier Deschambault ),( Abdelouahed Gherbi ),( Christian Legare ) 한국정보처리학회 2017 Journal of information processing systems Vol.13 No.1

The need for embedded devices to be able to exchange information with each other and with data centers is essential for the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). Several existing communication protocols are designed for small devices including the message-queue telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol or the constrained application protocol (CoAP). However, most of the existing implementations are convenient for computers or smart phones but do not consider the strict constraints and limitations with regard resource usage, portability and configuration. In this paper, we report on an industrial research and development project which focuses on the design, implementation, testing and deployment of a MQTT module. The goal of this project is to develop this module for platforms having minimal RAM, flash code memory and processing power. This software module should be fully compliant with the MQTT protocol specification, portable, and inter-operable with other software stacks. In this paper, we present our approach based on abstraction layers to the design of the MQTT module and we discuss the compliance of the implementation with the requirements set including the MISRA static analysis requirements.

Occupational Asthma: Etiologies and Risk Factors

Olivier Vandenplas 대한천식알레르기학회 2011 Allergy, Asthma & Immunology Research Vol.3 No.3

The purpose of this article is to critically review the available evidence pertaining to occupational, environmental, and individual factors that can affect the development of occupational asthma (OA). Increasing evidence suggests that exploration of the intrinsic characteristics of OA-causing agents and associated structure-activity relationships offers promising avenues for quantifying the sensitizing potential of agents that are introduced in the workplace. The intensity of exposure to sensitizing agents has been identified as the most important environmental risk factor for OA and should remain the cornerstone for primary prevention strategies. The role of other environmental co-factors (e.g., non-respiratory routes of exposure and concomitant exposure to cigarette smoke and other pollutants) remains to be further delineated. There is convincing evidence that atopy is an important individual risk factor for OA induced by high-molecular-weight agents. There is some evidence that genetic factors, such as leukocyte antigen class II alleles, are associated with an increased risk of OA; however, the role of genetic susceptibility factors is likely to be obscured by complex gene-environment interactions. OA, as well as asthma in general, is a complex disease that results from multiple interactions between environmental factors and host susceptibilities. Determining these interactions is a crucial step towards implementing optimal prevention policies.

WHY DO CONSUMERS BUY PREMIUM PRIVATE LABELS? – SOME QUALITATIVE INSIGHTS

Olivier Reimann,Udo Wagner 글로벌지식마케팅경영학회 2016 Global Marketing Conference Vol.2016 No.7

46 2016 Global Marketing Conference at Hong Kong Proceedings: 46-47 (July 2016) http://dx.doi.org/10.15444/GMC2016.01.04.01 WHY DO CONSUMERS BUY PREMIUM PRIVATE LABELS? – SOME QUAL-ITATIVE INSIGHTS Olivier Reimann, University of Vienna, Austria1) Udo Wagner, University of Vienna, Austria2) ABSTRACT Private labels (PL) have developed remarkably well during the last two decades. In many Western European countries they achieved market shares of around 30 percent and more. A phenomenon that recently gained momentum in academia and practice are premium PL (PPL). That are PL positioned as “better and cheaper” or “higher in price and superior in quality” compared to the leading NB. However, with regard to the perceived quality gaps consumers attributed economy and standard PLs vis-à-vis national brands (NB) in the past, it appears contradictory that PPL could become “one of the hottest trends in retail-ing”. To the best of the authors’ knowledge no study published up to now has addressed the following research question: Why do consumers prefer PPL over NB or other PL tiers. The present work tries to provide some insights into this research gap. We conducted two empirical research projects which aim at shedding some light on po-tential drivers of PPL product choice. Both projects are field studies with two leading grocery retail chains in a Central European country as research objects. In this country, the grocery retail market is characterized by a relatively high PL market share (29 percent in 2013) and a high concentration of retailer power: in 2014 the top three retailers cov-ered 85 percent of the overall market. Project I conducted focus group interviews. Partici-pants discussed about economy PL, standard PL and PPL products. Participants debated whether / under which circumstances they would choose one of these PL tiers or a NB. Research project II consisted of semi-structured interviews conducted with consumers in stores. The study revealed major determinants of PPL product choice: (1) quality and price, (2) packaging, (3) origin, and uniqueness, and (4) co-branding. We also gained some insights into the role of psychographics and demographics, brand management and communica-tion as well as on store loyalty. Disadvantageous for retailers, the reasons for PPL prod-uct choice are mainly not PPL brand related. PPL shoppers search for intrinsic or extrin-sic cues and would buy any other brand that offers a similar product. However, the find-ings for co-branding PPL showed that suggestions to apply traditional branding strategies in order to increase (premium) PL success should gain more attention from academia and retailers.

AN EXTENSION OF THE BETA FUNCTION EXPRESSED AS A COMBINATION OF CONFLUENT HYPERGEOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

( Olivier Marfaing ) 호남수학회 2021 호남수학학술지 Vol.43 No.2

Recently several authors have extended the Beta function by using its integral representation. However, in many cases no expression of these extended functions in terms of classic special functions is known. In the present paper, we introduce a further extension by defining a family of functions G_r,s : R* ₊ → C, with r, s ∈ C and ℜ(r) > 0. For given r, s, we prove that this function satisfies a second-order linear differential equation with rational coefficients. Solving this ODE, we express G_r,s as a combination of confluent hypergeometric functions. From this we deduce a new integral relation satisfied by Tricomi’s function. We then investigate additional specific properties of G_r,1 which take the form of new non trivial integral relations involving exponential and error functions. We discuss the connection between G_r,1 and Stokes’ first problem (or Rayleigh problem) in fluid mechanics which consists in determining the flow created by the movement of an infinitely long plate. For r ∈ 1/2N*, we find additional relations between G_r,1 and Hermite polynomials. In view of these results, we believe the family of extended beta functions G_r,s will find further applications in two directions: (i) for improving our knowledge of confluent hypergeometric functions and Tricomi’s function, (ii) and for engineering and physics problems.

Secondary oxidants in human serum exposed to singlet oxygen: the influence of hemolysis

Olivier, David,Douillard, Samuel,Lhommeau, Isabelle,Bigot, Edith,Patrice, Thierry Korean Society of Photoscience 2009 Photochemical & photobiological sciences Vol.8 No.10

Singlet oxygen ($^1O_2$) is produced by leucocytes during inflammatory reactions, various biochemical reactions and during photoreactions. It deactivates by reacting with a number of targets to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and peroxides (that in turn produce ROS). To verify whether serum had the same capability to deactivate secondary oxidants after exposure to $^1O_2$, we provoked a photoreaction using rose bengal added to sera of 53 healthy donors and, after light delivery, reduced 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCFH) was added at the end of irradiation and fluorescence of the oxidized derivative (DCF) was recorded. To avoid optical artifacts, we analyzed the influence of hemolysis. Deactivation capability of secondary oxidants after exposure to $^1O_2$ was stable over a long period of time, slightly different between men and women, but standard biochemistry parameters had little influence. Hemolysis, age and platelet number reduced deactivation of $^1O_2$-induced secondary oxidants. Addition of lysed cancer cells had no influence. Blood sampling in clot act tubes gave a better signal than in heparinized tubes. Red blood cells (RBCs) loaded with antioxidants strongly decreased deactivation of secondary oxidants. Assays are in progress to evaluate the clinical implications of these findings.
