Anisotropic rotation of C$_{6}$F$_{6}$ in neat liquid is investigated by the analysis of the ν$_{1}$ and ν$_{15}$ (both C-F stretching) bands of Raman spectrum and diffusion constants for the spinning (D$_{II}$) and tumbling (D$_{⊥}$) motions are obtained by the rotational dffusion theory. The same analysis is also carried out for the ν$_{2}$ and ν$_{16}$ (both C-C stretching) bands and both results are compared with the results obtained for benzene in neat liquid. The results show that the reorientation of C$_{6}$F$_{6}$ is highly anisotropic and the anisotropy is greater for C$_{6}$F$_{6}$ than benzene. This is due to the fact that the spinning rate is about the same but the tumbling rate is sharply reduced for C$_{6}$F$_{6}$.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possible application of 2 D-SDS-PAGE (2 DE)-based proteome analysis techniques to the assessment of extreme proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle. Eight Hanwoo longissimus muscles were incubated immediately after slaughter for 24 h at 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ or 36$^{\circ}C$. Warner Bratzler (WB)-shear force and ultrastructural configuration were determined at 24 h, and rate of proteolysis to 24 h was determined by 1 D-SDS-PAGE (1 DE) and 2 DE. In addition, tentative protein identification was performed from peptide mass fingerprints of MALDI-ToF analysis of major protein groups on 2 DE profiles. The result showed that although ultrastructural configuration was similar between the 5$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ treatments, meat at 5$^{\circ}C$ had higher WBshear force (approximately 5 kg greater). A higher rate of protein degradation at 36$^{\circ}C$ was observed based on Troponin-T degradation, 1 DE, and 2 DE analysis. This indicates that proteolysis during the early postmortem period was a significant determinant of shear force at 24 h. Little difference in proteolysis between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ treatments was found based on classic 1 DE profile assessment. Meanwhile, considerable differences in the 2 DE profiles between the two treatments were revealed, with substantially higher rate of proteolysis at 15$^{\circ}C$ compared to 5$^{\circ}C$. Nuclease treatment improved 2 DE profile resolution. 400 ${\mu}$g and 600 ${\mu}$g of sample loading appeared to be appropriate for 24 cm pH 3-10 and pH 5-7 IPG strips, respectively. Protein detection and quantification of the 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ 2 DE profiles revealed 78, 163 and 232 protein spots respectively that were differentially modified in terms of their electrophoretic properties between approximately pI 5.3-7.7 with the molecular weight range of approximately 71-12 kDa. The current results demonstrated that 2 DE was a superior tool to 1 DE for characterising proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle.

We studied the effects of temperature and salinity on the egg development and hatching rate of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus under laboratory culturing condition. The fertilized eggs were transparent, spherical, separate in shape and turned out to be separately and floated, and they contained one oil globule. Fertilized eggs are $0.91{\sim}1.33\;mm$ in diameter. The time of egg development was positively proportional to water temperature with 70 hrs, 48 hrs, 42 hrs, 34 hrs, after fertilization in $16^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$, $28^{\circ}C$, respectively. Hatching rate was highest with the range of $20{\sim}24^{\circ}C$ and $33{\sim}35\;psu$. The relation between the time of egg development (t: hour) and water temperature (T:$^{\circ}C$) was represented by the mathematical formulae. The mean biological minimum temperature was $6.9^{\circ}C$.

These experiments were carried out to examine the effect of rapid thawing (500$^{\circ}C$/min) on the survival of 8-cell mouse embryos cooled slowly (0.5-1$^{\circ}C$/min) to precooling temperatures between -10 and 070$^{\circ}C$ before direct transfer ofembryos to -196$^{\circ}C$, and to compare the survival of embroys thawed slowly (20$^{\circ}C$/min) and rapidly (500$^{\circ}C$/min) after in vitro culture. In addition, the sensitivity of 8-cell mouse embroys to the rate of addition and removal of cryoprotectant at room temperauture, and the effect of developing stages on the survival of embryos frozen-thawed slowly were investigated. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. Embryos were survived in rapid thawing (500$^{\circ}C$/min) only when slow cooling was terminated at relatively high subzero teperaure (-20 to -60$^{\circ}C$). The highest survival rate(77.0%) in in vitro culture of embryos thawed rapidly was obtaeined after transfer to -196$^{\circ}C$ from -40$^{\circ}C$. 2. For the survival of embryos in slow thawing (20$^{\circ}C$/min.), slow cooling to lower subzero temperature (-50$^{\circ}C$ and below) was required before transfer of embryos to -196$^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that embryos transferred to -196$^{\circ}C$ from high subzero temprature contain much interacellular ice to damage them during slow warming but to permit survival of embryos after rapid warming. 3. The Survival rate (72.7%) of 8-cell mouse embryos after rapid addition and removal of cryoprotectant, DMSO at room temperature was similar to that (83.9%) after slow addition and removal of cryoprotectant at same temperature. 4. The survival rates of 1-, 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos frozen-thawed slowly were 26.7, 76.4, 70.0 and 83.9%, respectively.

In this study, the load of the river was calculated by using the actual data of the Yeong-bon C1, Yeong-bon C2, Yeong-bon C3 monitoring points of the Yeong-san river watershed to determine the excess. As a result, the BOD is 75.83 % at the Yeong-bon C1 and the five-year average value is higher than at other points. The Yeong-bon C3 was 72.15 % and Yeong-bon C2 was analyzed as 68.78 %. The five-year average of the T-P was 71.95 % for the Yeong-bon C2 and 69.86 % for the Yeong-bon C3 and 69.16 % for Yeong-bon C1; these levels exceeded the target water quality standards of 50 %. As a result of analyzing the pollutant load, we found that the Yeong-bon C1 has been highly affected by the nonpoint pollution source because the excess rate is high in the upper section of the flow rate. The Yeong-bon C2 showed a high excess rate in the lower part of the flow rate, and it was estimated that the influence of the point pollution source was large. The excess rate of the Yeong-bon C3 is small in the interval deviation, and it was evaluated as being affected by both point and non-point pollution sources. The TMDL monitoring network data were used to estimate the exceed ratio for the target water quality assessment, and the implementation evaluation was made by the flow exceedance probability interval to analyze the monitoring data so that the data could be utilized according to the purpose of the measurement network.

Sperm cryopreservation methods have been improved over the last few decades. However, an optimized thawing rate has not yet been established. Therefore, we investigated the effect of thawing rate on sperm function after cryopreservation. The ejaculates collected from beagle dogs were cryopreserved and then thawed at two different thawing rates ($37^{\circ}C$ for 1 min or $70^{\circ}C$ for 15 sec). The thawed sperm were evaluated for motility, viability, morphology, plasma membrane integrity, phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation, and intracellular $H_2O_2$ level. The sperm thawed rapidly at $70^{\circ}C$ showed improved motility, viability, normal morphology, plasma-membrane integrity and non-PS translocation compared to the sperm thawed slowly at $37^{\circ}C$ (P < 0.05). However, the intracellular $H_2O_2$ levels were not significantly different between the rapid- and slow-thawed sperm (P > 0.05). In conclusion, sperm rapid thawing at $70^{\circ}C$ could improve the function of cryopreserved canine sperm, and the appropriate thawing rate would enhance the quality of the cryopreserved sperm.

This study was performed to investigate the utility of egg-shell calcium with calcium soak egg-shell in the vinegar. We compared examination eluted quantity with ionization rate in each condition. The results were as follows. 1 The degree of elution and ionization of calcium was proportional to the amount of vinegar and added acetic acid in the vinegar for elution. And ionization rate was the most high in case of 200 ml vinegar volume. 2. fluted quantity were increased in the rank order to 4$0^{\circ}C$ > 3$0^{\circ}C$ > 2$0^{\circ}C$ by temperature but the rank order of ionization of calcium was 3$0^{\circ}C$ > 2$0^{\circ}C$ > 4$0^{\circ}C$ by temperature. The occurrence of unacceptable flavor resulting from the immersion at 4$0^{\circ}C$ was another obstacle to adopt. 3. Eluted quantity and ionization rate of the egg-shell calcium were appeared excellent in case of the brewage vinegar at ventilation condition. The case of brown rice vinegar did not show a considerable difference, but eluted quantity and ionization rate were appeared the most excellent to the other sample. 4. The optimum condition for elution and ionization of the egg-shell calcium was appeared Immersing egg-shells in the brewed rice-bran vinegar at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for three days.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of high temperature and drought on growth performance, photosynthetic parameters and photosynthetic pigment contents of Liriodendron tulipifera L. seedlings. The seedlings were grown in controlled-environment growth chambers with combinations of four temperature ($-3^{\circ}C$, $0^{\circ}C$, $+3^{\circ}C$, $+6^{\circ}C$; based on the monthly average for 30 years in Korea) and two water status (control, drought). Temperature rise increased growth, total dry weight and leaf area in all water status. Also photosynthetic rate, dark respiration, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate increased with increasing temperature. In contrast, growth and photosynthetic parameters of L. tulipifera seedlings were lower in $-3^{\circ}C$ than $0^{\circ}C$. But temperature rise decreased water use efficiency in all water status. Temperature rise increased photosynthetic pigment contents of leaf. Also chlorophyll a/b ratio increased with increasing temperature. In conclusion, the elevated temperature lead to causes growth increase through the increase of energy production by higher photosynthetic rate during a growth period of L. tulipifera seedlings.

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficiency of optical panel (OP) on the growth rate of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris). The size of C. vulgaris (FC-16) was 3~$8{\mu}m$, having round in shape. The cells of C. vulgaris was cultured in the Jaworski's Medium with deionized water at $22^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. For this experiment, three light samples were prepared to evaluate the efficiency of OP on the growth rate of C. vulgaris; OP with LED (Light Emitting Diode) (Run 1), Fluorescent light (Run 2) and LED (Run 3). The specific growth rate of C. vulgaris for Run 1 was found to be 14 times and 5 times faster than Run 2 and Run 3, respectively. In addition, the average biomass of C. vulgaris for Run 1 was measured 11.79 g/L in 11 days. This means that the biomass for Run 1 was reached 30 times and 6.5 times higher than Run 2 and Run 3, respectively. This may be due to the fact the OP was increased the light uniformity and hindered the shading effects in photobioreactor. Therefore, the growth rate of biomass in photobioreactor with OP is compared better than the without OP used other photobioreactor.

The current analytical techniques for R/C elements under severe dynamic repeated loads, like earthquake or impact, has two major problems; one is that the effects of strain rate are not considered and the other one is the current model was developed based on flexural behavior only. Thus, this study develops a computer software that can idealize the flexural and shear behavior of R/C elements using several parameters and also can consider the effects of strain rate. The analytical results using the developed analytical technique were compared with several experimental results and were generally satisfied.
