Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is essential for cell culture and is used in the determination of infectivity titer and propagation of viruses. To clarify the effects of FBS on the propagation of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), which is a causative agent of mass mortalities of olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus in Korea, VHSV was inoculated into an EPC (epithelioma papulosum cyprinid) cell line supplemented with MEMs (minimal essential medium) with FBS concentrations of 0%, 2%, 5%, and 10% (MEM0, MEM2, MEM5, and MEM10), respectively, and infectivity titers were compared. Cytopathic effects were observed in all experimental groups at 2 days post virus inoculation (dpi) and all cells were detached from cell culture flasks at 7 dpi. Infectivity titers increased to 3 dpi, persisted to 7 dpi, and decreased when cells were detached. The titer of VHSV in EPC cells in MEM0 was the lowest while those in the other experimental groups showed similar levels. In conclusion, 2% (v/v) of FBS was sufficient to propagate VHSV in EPC cells and the withdrawal of VHSV from cell culture flasks should be performed before cell detachment.

Although embryonic stem cells (ESCs) or ES-like cells are reported from many mammalian species other than the mouse, the culture system for murine ESCs may not be suitable to the other species. Previously many other research groups have modified either human or mouse ESC culture systems for bovine ESC culture. In this study, we compared three different culture mediums consisting of DMEM, ${\alpha}$-MEM or KnockOut$^{TM}$-DMEM (KO), which are modified from human or mouse ESC culture system, for the generation of bovine ESCs. In this study, some pre-requisite events which are important for establishment and long-term propagation of ESCs such as inner cell mass (ICM) attachment on feeder cells, primary colony formation and sustainability after passaging. Once the ICM clumps attached on feeder cells, this was designated as passage 0. In regards to the rate of ICM attachment, ${\alpha}$-MEM was superior to the other systems. For primary colony formation, there was no difference between DMEM and ${\alpha}$-MEM whereas KO showed lower formation rate than the other groups. For passaging, the colonies were split into 2~4 pieces and passed every 5~6 days. From passage 1 to passage 3, DMEM system seemed to be appropriate for maintaining putative bovine ESCs. On the other hand, ${\alpha}$-MEM tended to be more suitable after passage 6. Although ${\alpha}$-MEM support to maintain a ES-like cell progenies to passage 15, all three culture systems which are modified from human or mouse ESC culture media failed to retain the propagation and long-term culture of putative bovine ESCs. Our findings imply that more optimized alternative culture system is required for establishing bovine ESC lines.

These experiments were conducted to investigate the effects and optimal concentrations of RPMI 1640 amino acids, MEM vitamins and human follicular fluid(hFF) as additives in the medium for in vitro culture of mouse embryos. The results obtained were as follows. 1. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 54.5%, 65.4%, 48.2%, 57.4% and 35.5% when the medium was added to 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of RPMI 1640 amino acid and control, respectively. The addition of 0.5% RPMI 1640 amino acid was the best concentration. 2. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 22.4%, 31.3%, 21.9%, 19.0% adn 12.8% when the medium was added to 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% of MEM vitamin and control, respectively. The addition of 0.5% MEM vitamin was the best concentration. 3. The development rates of blastocyst stage were 20.9%, 21.9%, 18.9%, 29.4% and 20.6% when the medium was added to 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% of hFF and control, respectively.

Electrostatic spray pyrolysis, a novel fabrication technique, has been used in this study to prepare calcium phosphate nano powders. Final annealing was done at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30min in air. The hydroxyapatite - forming ability of the annealed powder has been evaluated in Eagle's minimum essential medium solution (MEM). X-ray diffraction analysis, field emission - scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope were used to characterized the annealed powders after immersion in MEM. The powder with an amorphous structure induced hydroxyapatite formation on their surfaces after immersion fer 15 days.

This study was conducted to evaluate the nuclear development of preantral follicle oocytes in dog following collecting from different estrus ovaries and oocyte diameter. To do this, ovaries were collected from Sunchon livestock station by ovarioectomy and then transported to laboratory in 3$0^{\circ}C$ saline within 2 h. All of the ovaries were washed three times with saline supplemented with 100 IU Penicillin and 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ Streptomycin and then sliced with blade in 100 mm dish. All of the oocytes collected were classified the oocyte size such as over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or under 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the estrus status. To induce the nuclear development, oocytes were cultured in TCM199 $\alpha$-MEM supplemented with 10% FCS, 0.1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ sodium pyruvate, 100 ng/$m\ell$ FSH, 100 ng/$m\ell$ EGF, 1% ITS, 100 IU/$m\ell$ penicillin, 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ streptomycin at 38.5$^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ incubator for 72 h. After culture, all of the oocytes were stained in 1% orcein following fixed in 45% Acetic acid for 48 h. The oocyte recovery rates of over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ from estrus ovary (63.6%) were significantly higher rather than that in anestrus status (51.5%). Oocyte recovery rate per ovary of over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in estrus status ovary (22.6/63.8%) was also significantly higher rather than that in anestrus status ovary (8.2/51.6%). Nuclear development to MI of over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in estrus ovary (24.3%) was significantly higher rather than those in under 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or over and under 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in anestrus (2.5, 6.8 and 0.0%), respectively (P ＜ 0.05). Nuclear development to AT and MII of over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in estrus was more developed in other groups. Nuclear development to MI in TCM199 (21.8%) was significantly higher than in $\alpha$-MEM (10.0%). Altho $\mu\textrm{g}$h the development rate to AT was significantly different between TCM199 (7.3%) and $\alpha$-MEM (1.1%), but to MII was not different between TCM199 (0.9%) and $\alpha$-MEM (1.1%). The results indicated that over 110 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ oocytes was could be recovery from estrus status ovary, bigger oocytes were more developed to MI, AT or MII in TCM199.

Metabolizable energy requirements for maintenance (MEm) of Hanwoo bulls were estimated in twelves metabolism trials using three different feeds at four stages of body weight(100, 200, 300 and 400kg). Three feeds were composed of 1) concentrates and rice straw, 2) concentrates and mixed grass hay, 3) concentrates and corn silage, respectively. Three energy levels were 1) maintenance (M) requirement, 2) 1.5 ${\times}$ M, and 3) 2.0 ${\times}$ M. All bulls were received 60% of their energy from concentrates and 40% form roughages. Three cattle for each trials fed different energy level were housed in metabolism stalls during the 5days of collection period, a total collection of feces and urine. Thereafter, during the 2days of respiration period the heat production was measured by indirect calorimetry using respiratory chamber. MEm were 99.80, 94.48, 94.80, and 97.68 kcal/W0.75 at 100, 200, 300 and 400kg. Mean value of MEm and efficiency of utilization ME for retained energy(Kg) were 95.80 kcal/W0.75 and 0.44.

Polynomial measurement error model(MEM) with one predictor is considered. It is briefly mentioned that Chan and Mak's generalized least squares estimator(GLSE) can be derived more easily if Hermite polynomial concept is applied. It is proved that GLSE derived using new procedure is equivalent to the estimator obtained from corrected score function. Finally, much simpler proof of the asymptotic behavior of GLSE than that of Chan and Mak is provided. Much simpler formula of asymptotic covariance matrix of GLSE is a part of that proof.

광통신 기술의 발전으로 광 스위치 분야의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있으며 이중에서도 MEMS를 이용한 광 스위치가 주류를 이루어 개발되고 있다. 특히 최근에는 OXC(Optical Cross Connect)에 사용되는 MEMS actuator로 구동되는 미소거울이 스위치내부에 사용되는 유일한 대안으로 떠오르면서 많은 기업들이 특허를 출원하고 있다. 현재 미국이 압도적인 기술우위를 보이고 뒤이어 일본이 현재 많은 개발을 서두르고 있음을 볼 수 있다. 한국은 미래의 주역이 될 것으로 보이는 MEMS 기술개발에 많은 투자를 해야 할 것이며 더불어 이를 이용한 응용 분야에 대한 상호 복합적 연구 또한 진행해야 세계 기술시장에 당당히 설 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

이 논문에서는 압전 MEMS에 대한 유한요소해석(FEA)응용이 연구되었다. 압전MEMS와 관련한 특수재료 및 기하학적 형상에 대한 몇 가지 두드러진 특징 및 앞으로의 연구가치가 있는 주제도 아울러 다룬다. 압전 능동박막을 이용한 센서 및 액츄에이터를 포함하는 단순구조에 대한 FEA모델링이 제시되었다. ZnO가 압전 재료로 사용되었다. 정적 전기기계적해석이 두 가지 모델에 대해 수행되었다. 압전효과로 발생한 처짐 및 센 서의 출력전압에 대한 FEA 결과는 해석치 혹은 실험측정값과도 우수하게 일치하였다. ANSYS가 P-MEMS의 가상신속시작체계를 위한 우수한 FEA도구임이 본 논문을 통해서 보여졌다.
