This paper investigates the interrelation and information flows between the Won–Dollar spot and offshore forward, i.e., NDF markets. In particular, this paper focuses on the impact of the reform in the Korean exchange rate systems, which occurred in December 1997 in response to the currency crisis, on the relation between the two markets. Using the augmented GARCH formulation, this paper finds ...

pared to all other ST intercepts. Seven ST were not different (P>.05) from the median intercept with an average geometric intercept (GI) of 0.20 (AZ, CA, KA, MN, OR, PA, WA). Three ST had a higher average GI of 1.00 (UT, ID, NE), two ST had a lower GI of 0.95 (IL, NY) and two ST had the lowest GI of 3.08. Average GI weighted for the observations in each group was -.19. The slope of ADF versus N...

Apoptosis is a genetically programmed series of events that results in cell death. As a consequence, it is difficult to identify dominant genes that play a role in this process using genetic selections in conventional cell culture systems. Accordingly, we have established an efficient expression screen to isolate dominant, apoptosis-inducing genes. The assay is based on the apoptotic morphology...

In situ and in vitro studies with a 3 x 2 x 5 factorial arrangement of treatments with an added untreated control evaluated three enzyme preparations, two levels of enzyme, and five moisture conditions of grass forage. Enzyme preparations predominantly contained cellulase and xylanase and will be designated as enzyme 1 (E1), enzyme 2 (E2), and a 50:50 combination of E1 and E2 (E1E2). The five m...

In two ERP experiments, we examined whether active inhibition is involved in intentional forgetting. Both experiments consisted of a nondirected-forgetting (nDF) and a directed-forgetting (DF) block. Participants were sequentially presented with a prime, an R/F (remember/forget) cue, and a target. Participants made lexical decisions to both the primes and targets (Experiment 1) or only to the t...

This study was conducted to evaluate the yield, nutrient characteristics, ruminal solubility, degradability and disappearance of spent mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) substrates for ruminants. The annual yield of spent Agaricus bisporus substrates was measured to be about 210,000 tons (M/T) in South Korea. The surface soil-removed spent substrates had nutritional characteristics of high crude ash ...

Mini-batch based Stochastic Gradient Descent(SGD) has been widely used to train deep neural networks efficiently. In this paper, we design a general framework to automatically and adaptively select training data for SGD. The framework is based on neural networks and we call it Neural Data Filter (NDF). In Neural Data Filter, the whole training process of the original neural network is monitored...

Sixteen ruminally cannulated, English-crossbred heifers (378 ± 28.4 kg) grazing small-grain pasture (SGP) were used in a completely randomized design to evaluate effects of supplementing different amounts of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6% of BW; as-fed basis) on forage intake, digestibility, and rumen fermentation characteristics. The experiment was cond...

Abstract Identifying milk biomarkers impacted by dietary starch and fiber profiles can support optimization of feeding concurrent promotion animal health. The objective this study was to characterize the rumen meta-proteome whey proteome in Holstein cows fed different levels physically effective undigestible NDF (peuNDF240) fermentable (RFS). Eight ruminally cannulated were included a 4 x Latin...

A study was conducted to characterize the carbohydrate and protein fractions of barley-based distillers grains (BDG) derived from a mix of 70% barley, 20% wheat and 10% rye/triticale. Amino acid composition, ruminal escape protein and amino acid values, and ruminal nutrient degradability of BDG were determined relative to wheat-based distillers' grains (WDG) derived from 100% wheat. On a dry ma...
