Abstract. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of storage period and egg weight of hatching eggs of Japanese quails on fertility, hatchability results. Eggs were obtained 150 females quails, all at 15 weeks of age. A total of 1942 hatching eggs were separated into 3 groups as light-weight (9.50-10.50 g), medium-weight (10.51-11.50 g), and heavy-weight (11.51-12.50 g). Based on storage period, eggs were divided into 5 groups as group 1 (0-3 days), group 2 (4-6 days), group 3 (7-9 days), group 4 (10-12 days), and group 5 (13-15 days). The influence of storage period on hatchability of fertile eggs and early, middle, and late period embryonic mortality rates was found significant (P<0.01). The effect of egg weight on fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significant (P<0.05, P<0.01). The significant differences between storage period groups were observed in hatchability of fertile eggs. The differences between egg weight groups for fertility rate, hatchability of fertile eggs and early embryonic mortality was significantly higher in light weight group than the other egg weight groups. Results of this study concluded that a 12 day pre-incubation storage of hatching eggs of Japanese quails did not appreciably affect hatching parameters. Use of medium or heavy weight eggs for hatching may reduce early embryonic mortality rate.

Professionals involved in training programs for judokas should have access to evidence-based data on various characteristics of these athletes. In the current study, anthropometric (e.g., body height, body mass), physiological (e.g., power based on vertical jump height, maximal handgrip strength), and psychological (e.g., athletic coping skills) characteristics of judokas were examined. The judokas, aged 16-21, were classified into two groups: 30 light weight (males = 19, females = 11) and 27 heavy weight (males = 13, females = 14). Four MANCOVAs separated by sex were performed on the anthropometric, physiological, and psychological data. A discriminant analysis was also carried out. Results showed that heavy-weight males outscored their lighter peers on body height ( d = 1.88), arm span ( d = 1.88), and maximal handgrip strength. In the females, light-weight judokas outscored their heavier peers on jumping ability ( d = 1.02) and peak power bench press ( d = 1.20). Female heavy-weight judokas had greater body height ( d = 1.46), a longer arm span ( d = 1.35), and higher scores on maximal handgrip strength than light-weight judokas. The discriminant analysis revealed that 87.5% and 84.0% of the original grouped male and female judokas, respectively, were correctly classified. No differences in coping skills or self-regulation of learning between categories were observed. It is recommended that professionals involved in training programs may consider these differences in data when developing training programs for young judokas.

The decommissioning of nuclear facilities produces a large amount of radioactive wastes and most of them are concrete waste. In Korea, two decommissioning projects such as the decommissioning of the retired research reactors (KRR-1 & 2) and a uranium conversion plant (UCP) at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been carried out. By dismantling KRR-2, more than 260 tons of radioactive concrete wastes were generated among the total 2,000 tons of concrete wastes and more than 60 tons of concrete wastes contaminated with uranium compounds have been generated for the UCP decommissioning up to now. The volume reduction and recycling of the wastes is essential to reduce the waste management cost with expectation that an approximate disposal cost for the low level radioactive waste will be more than 5,000 US dollars per 200 liter waste drum in Korea. Therefore, we have developed the volume reduction technology applicable to an activated heavy weight concrete generated by dismantling KRR-2 and the uranium contaminated light weight concrete produced from the UCP decommissioning. We have investigated the characteristics of a separation of the aggregates and the distribution of the radioactivity into the aggregates from the volume reduction point of view using an activated heavy weight concrete taken from the KRR-2 and uranium contaminated light weight concrete from the UCP. It could be concluded that the radioactivity is mainly concentrated in the porous fine cement powder below the size of 1mm and the appropriate heating temperature for the treatment of concrete waste is in the range of 450°C to 500°C. The volume reduction rate could be achieved above 70% by a heating followed by a mechanical separation process. A fine cement radioactive produced during the course of the mechanical treatment process was immobilized and reduced in volume by a slagging using a direct current graphite arc melting system which resulted in a volume reduction factor of about 3.4.

ABSTRACT: Physical form effect of the pre-starter diet supplied during the post-weaning period from 21 to 41 days of age on diet digestibility and animal performance in terms of zootechnical performances of light-weight (5.82kg) and heavy-weight weaning piglets (6.32kg) was evaluated, as well as the residual effects of the treatments until slaughter. Forty-eight female pigs at 21 days of age were evaluated. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 2x2 factorial scheme (meal/pelleted diet vs. light-weight/heavy-weight piglets), with six replicates for the nursery phase and 12 replicates for the growing-finishing phases. Animals received the experimental diet from 21 to 41 days of age. Data were analyzed with ANOVA, setting the significance in 5%. Feeding with the pelleted diet resulted in a 39% greater daily weight gain and a 28% greater feed conversion rate for piglets from weaning to 40 days of age. Pelleting also resulted in a decrease in feed wastage during the first week after weaning (9.15% for meal diet vs. 1.68% for pelleted diet) and; consequently, the results showed an increase in feed consumption. Digestible energy of the pelleted diet (3,626kcal kg-1) was greater than that of the meal diet (3,424kcal kg-1). The physical form improved the performance of weaning pigs and the digestibility of the pre-starter diet, but there wasn't residual effect of the physical form and the weight of a piglet at weaning on live weight at slaughter.

This research paper presents the experimental results of classifying weight of objects by using a load cell. The machine was designed to classification of all three different objects' weight and the objects consisted of light weight, medium weight and heavy weight to move along the conveyor belt into the defined tray. Load cell was used for the object detection by reading the amount of the objects' weight, after that converted into an electrical signal for each different weight and then micro-controller process to control the stepper motor by closing or opening the door. The tray was designed to into 3 slots for the objects on condition that the operation of two stepper motors. If the one is rotated clockwise 130 degrees to open the door for a heavy weight to flow into slot on the left, if the other one is rotated clockwise 98 degrees to open the door for a medium weight to flow into slot on the center and if both ones are stopped a light weight to flow into slot on the right. From the result, it can be shown that the average classifying time of the testing objects is 15.30, 14.68 and 14.34 seconds for heavy weight, medium weight and light weight respectively and the classification of objects with high accuracy.

Understanding how the seed yield and seed quality respond to global warming is crucial for understanding how new grassland establishment responds to global change. This study evaluated Leymus chinensis, a dominant perennial grass widely distributed in the eastern regions of the Eurasian grassland zone, as a model to investigate the effect of increasing ambient temperature on seed production, seed mass, germinability, and subsequent seedling growth. As the temperature rose, there were significant reductions in the number of flowering plants and in seed number per square metre but significant increase in the number of florets and the number of seeds per plant. Increasing temperature decreased the proportion of light weight seeds, increased the proportion of heavy weight seeds and led to a significant increase in the mean dry weight. Germination success, germination rate and the root : shoot ratio of light weight seeds were reduced, while heavy weight seed did not appear to be affected by elevated temperatures. Finally, germinating seeds per unit area was reduced by increased temperature. The reduction in the number of germinating seeds with increasing temperature implies that continued global warming will further constrain new grassland establishment of L. chinensis in the eastern regions of Eurasia.
