The objective of this study was to the effect on subsequent development of EGF present in defined medium during bovine 1)oocyte maturation or 2)embryo culture. The presence of EGF during IVM, irrespective of concentration(1, 10, 100ng/$m\ell$), stimulated cumulus expansion and significantly increased the proportion of oocytes attaining metaphaseII, the rate of cleavage, and develop to blastocyst. 1. In the group of EGF-added medium(1, 10, 100ng/$m\ell$), nuclear maturation rate for in vitro maturation was 91% to 92% but was not significantly higher than control group(87%). 2. For in vitro maturation, in the group of EGF-added medium(1, 10, 100ng/$m\ell$)the rate of cumulus cell expansion degree 2 ranged from 81% to 87%, which was significantly higher than the control group(medium with EGF not added). The rate of in vitro fertilization, developing to 2-to 4- cell stage, was 76% to 80%, which was also significantly higher(p<0.05)than control group(62%). 3. For in vitro maturation, in the group of EGF added in medium(1, 10, 100ng/$m\ell$)the development rate to blastocyst was 24.3% to 27%, which was significantly higher than control group(13.7%). The total cleavage rate in the group of EGF-added medium was 77% to 82%, which was higher than control group. 4. The development rate to blastocyst for 6 days of cultivation and the hatching blastocyst were 30.6% and 59.1%, respectively, in the group of 100ng/$m\ell$ of EGF, which were significantly higher(p<0.05)than control group(14.0% and 24%, respectively), The numbers of cells in blastocyst were 140.2 and 148, respectively, in 10ng/$m\ell$ and 100ng/$m\ell$ of EGF-added medium, which were higher than 108.5 in control group. 5. The development rate of in vitro fertilized embryos to blastocyst in 10ng/$m\ell$ of EGF-added medium co-cultured with somatic cell was 28%, which was significantly higher(p<0.05)than control group(11.8%). The numbers of cells in blastocyst were 141.6 for EGF-added medium and 145 for EGF+co-culture group, which were higher than control(101.6)and medium co-cultured with somatic cells(110.6). These results showed that in vitro maturation and fertilization, EGF was found a significant effect of increase of development rate to blastocyst and cell number.

This paper examines the effect of the global financial crisis on corporate investment in Korea. Specifically, the crisis was considered to have possibly constrained firm-level investment as the negative shock to the credit supply dramatically unfolded. As Duchin et al. (2010) demonstrated, if a negative supply-side shock is evident during a crisis period, larger cash holdings before the crisis will lead to fewer constraints to corporate investment, or vice versa. In order to investigate the supply-side effect of the crisis, we use firm-level financial data, including firms listed on the Korean stock market as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. We find that corporate investment declined significantly after the crisis, even if we control for factors associated with the demand side, such as contemporaneous capital productivity and cash flow. More importantly, the decline is positively and significantly related to cash holdings before the crisis, implying the negative effect of a credit supply shock. Small and medium enterprises experienced relatively sharp investment declines compared to those of larger firms, and the relationship between pre-crisis cash amounts and the degree of investment decline is greater than that in large firms. Additionally, we examine whether the negative effect persists up to the present, finding evidence that the cash-investment relationship continues in small and medium-sized enterprises.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of lipid on cellular senescence, lipid peroxide production, and morphological changes. For this study we used primary skin fibroblasts from neonate rats grown in media various lipid contents. Fibroblasts were cultured until they lost their proliferation potential either in control medium (Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplement with 10% fetal bovine serum) or in media supplemented with various concentrations of lipid-cholesterol rice component from bovine serum. Cumulative population doublings(CPD, as an index of cellular life span), and cellular thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS, as an index of lipid peroxide) concentrations were measured and morphological changes were observed. CPD were shortened with increasing lipid concentration in media ; 28.12 for cells grown in control medium and 13.42, 11.42, and 6.19 for those grown in 0.1%, 1% and 5% lipid rich components containing media, respectively. Cellular proliferation ratios were those grown in 5% lipid rich components containing media were delayed and they were degenerated soon. TBARS concentrations were increased with increasing concentration of lipid in media. Morphological changes were observed in cells grown in control medium by cellular senescence. Especially lipid droplets were observed in cells grown in 5% lipid rich components containing media. Therefore it seems that lipid contents in media had an effect on cellular proliferation and cellular life span, possibly via lipid peroxide production.

Many daily appliances for examples copiers, printers and ATMs contain the media transport system (MTS) and the slippage between the medium in the MTS deteriorates the performance quality of the whole system. The slippage of the medium in the MTS is affected by many parameters including the friction coefficient between the feeding rollers and the medium, the velocity of the feeding rollers, and the normal force exerted on the medium by feeding rollers. This paper focuses on the effect of the normal force on the slippage while the medium is being fed. For this purpose, we developed a two-dimensional simulation model for a paper feeding system. Using the simulation model, we calculated the slippage of the paper for different normal forces. We have also constructed a testbed of the paper feeding system to verify the simulation results. Experimental results are compared with the simulation results.

This study was investigated to examine the effect of conditioned medium from bovine oviductal cell(BOEC) in the co-culture system with BOEC on in vitro development of in vitro produced bovine embryos. Oocyte-cumulus complexes were cultured for 24 hrs in TCM-199 supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml FSH and 21U hCG, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml oestradiol-17$\beta$ at 39$^{\circ}C$ under 5% CO2 in air. In vitro fertilization was performed with epididymal sperm and heparin (10$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml, 15min.) or caffeine(2.5mM)-treated spermatozoa. Oocytes were incubated with 1$\times$106 spermatozoa/ml for 18 hrs and then cultured in various culture system for 7 days. The development rates of 16-cell or blastocyst stages were recorded on 4, 7 days, respectively, after incubating. The proportions ofembryonic development into molulae and blastocysts were higher in cumulus cell co-culture(23.4%) and BOEC co-culture(34.3%) than in M199-FCS(6.1%). Similarily, the development rates into molulae and blastocysts were significantly higher in BOEC-conditioned medium than those in M199-FCS. Therefore, it is suggested that BOEC co-culture and BOEC conditioned medium increase significantly the development of in vitro produced bovine embryos in in vitro system.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of hormones on in vitro maturation of porcine follicular oocytes. The results obtained were as follows : 1. The maturation rates of oocytes cultured in medium containing FSH 1, 10, 50 and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml were 44.6, 58.5, 42.6 and 37.9%, respectively. And those were no difference to maturation rates among the medium containing FSH. However, the maturation rate(13.7%) of oocytes cultured without FSH was significantly(P<0.05) lower than those of oocytes cultured with FSH. 2. The maturation rates of oocytes cultured in medium containing hCG 0, 1, 10, 50 and 100IU/ml were 12.2, 11.9, 17.9, 21.9 and 45.6%, respectively. The maturation rate of oocytes cultured with 100IU/ml hCG was significantly(P<0.05) higher than those of oocytes cultured with 0~50IU/ml hCG concentrations. 3. The maturation rates of oocytes cultured in medium containing E2 0, 1, 10, 50 and 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml were 13.7, 10.5, 14.9, 11.4 and 5.9%, respectively. There were no differences to maturation rates among the E2 concentrations. 4. The FSH＋hCG treatment was the highest maturation rate in medium containing different combination of FSH, hCG and E2.

The effect of intercritical annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-9Mn-0.2C-3Al-0.5Si medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni is investigated in this study. Six kinds of medium manganese steels are fabricated by varying the chemical composition and intercritical annealing temperature. Hardness and tensile tests are performed to examine the correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties for the intercritical annealed medium manganese steels containing Cu and Ni. The microstructures of all the steels are composed mostly of lath ferrite, reverted austenite and cementite, regardless of annealing temperature. The room-temperature tensile test results show that the yield and tensile strengths decrease with increasing intercritical annealing temperature due to higher volume fraction and larger thickness of reverted austenite. On the other hand, total and uniform elongations, and strain hardening exponent increase due to higher dislocation density because transformation-induced plasticity is promoted with increasing annealing temperature by reduction in reverted austenite stability.

This work presents a new nonlocal hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory for the static, buckling and vibration of nanoscale-beams embedded in an elastic medium. The present model is able to capture both the nonlocal parameter and the shear deformation effect without employing shear correction factor. The nonlocal parameter accounts for the small size effects when dealing with nanosize structures such as nanobeams. Based on the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the equations of motion of the nanoscale-beam are obtained using Hamilton's principle. The effect of the surrounding elastic medium on the deflections, critical buckling loads and frequencies of the nanobeam is investigated. Both Winkler-type and Pasternak-type foundation models are used to simulate the interaction of the nanobeam with the surrounding elastic medium. Analytical solutions are presented for a simply supported nanoscale-beam, and the obtained results compare well with those predicted by the other nonlocal theories available in literature.

본 연구에서는 앞서의 여러 경우에서 단순하게 취급 되었던 화염면과 연료표 면의 경계조건을 무한히 길고, 평행한 확산, 회색 평판(gray, diffuse plates)으로 보 고, 이 두 평판 사이에 흡수(absorbing), 방사(emitting), 산란(scattering)을 하는 회색매질(gray medium)이 차여져 있다고 생각한다. 이런 가정하 에서, 여러 매개변 수들을 변화시켜가며 전도, 대류, 복사열전달들의 상호작용과 온도 분포를 수치적으로 해석하였다. 특히 화염면과 연료표면간의 열교환에 있어서의 분출에 의한 효과와 복 사열전달의 영향에 관심을 기울였다.
