  • This study was to investigate the effects of electrofusion, activation and developmental stage of donor embryos on in vitro development of nuclear transplant bovine embryos. A single blastomere nucleus from 8-cell to morula stage embryos produced by in vitro fertilization(IVF) was transferred into a recipient oocyte enucleated at 23∼25 h after in vitro maturation(IVM) or into a recipient oocyte enucleated and cultured for 14∼15 h. In one experiment the nuclear transplant embryos were subjected to additional activation treatments. Fusion rate of nuclear transplant eggs was high at direct current(D.C) voltages of 1.0 and 1.5 kV/cm 991.5 and 93.3%, respectively), but decreased at 2.0kV/cm (81.8%). Additional activation treatments by electric pulases or 7% ethanol did not affect the cleavage and development of nuclear transplant embryos. Development of nuclear transplant embryos slightly increased by delayed nuclear transfer and fusion (42∼43 h after IVM). With this system, blastocysts were obtained from transfer of 8-cell to morula stage donor nuclei (9.6%∼2.4%). The result of this study suggests that nucleo-cytoplasmic interactins, expecially activation of ooplast are very important for the development of nuclear transplant embryos, and donor cell stage does not affect the development of nuclear transplant embryos.

  • In Tokamak magnet for nuclear fusion, high current pulse type conductor is requested. Cable in Conduit type Conductor(CICC) is considered to be effective for this application because of not only high current but the high stability and mechanical strength. In this paper, the present status of conductor development for superconducting tokamak has been investigated.

  • A statistical method is described for estimation of the unknown constants in a theory using both of the computer simulation data and the real experimental data, The best linear unbiased predictor based on a spatial linear model is fitted from the computer simulation data alone. Then nonlinear least squares estimation method is applied to the real experimental data using the fitted prediction model as if it were the true simulation model. An application to the computational nuclear fusion devices is presented, where the nonlinear least squares estimates of four transport coefficients of the theoretical nuclear fusion model are obtained.

  • Cell fusion between complementary mutants isolated from astaxanthin-producing yeast, Phaffia rhodozyma, was carried out to obtain astaxanthin-overproducing strains by protoplast fusion technique. The frequency of protoplast fusion was ranged from 2.3$\times$10-5 to 6.0$\times$10-5, and nuclear fusion in the cells of hybrids was demonstrated by several techniques such as isolation of recombinants after mitotic segregation of parental genetic markers, estimation of DNA content, direct observation of nuclei with nuclear staining, and comparison of survival rate to UV exposure. One of several hybrids, Fl, showed approximately 3-fold increase in astaxanthin content when compared with wild parent.

  • Nuclear fusion seems to be a good choice of energy source in the future. Nickel is one of the crucial structural materials for fusion devices. In this work, the cross section data of 58Ni(n,p)58Co, 60Ni(n,p)60Co, 61Ni(n,p)61Co, 62Ni(n,p)62Co and 64Ni(n,p)64Co reactions were calculated using the nuclear codes ALICE/ASH, EMPIRE 3.2 and TALYS 1.8. In addition, the cross sections were calculated with the empirical formulas obtained in our previous paper at 14-15 MeV. The obtained results were compared with the measured values in the literature, and with the evaluated data files (JEFF-3.3, TENDL-2017, ENDF/B-VIII.0).

  • The point we made in this paper is that, although detailed and precise three-dimensional (3D) whole-core transport calculations may be obtained in the future with massively parallel computers, they would have an application to only some of the problems of the nuclear industry, more precisely those regarding multiphysics or for methodology validation or nuclear safety calculations. On the other hand, typical design reactor cycle calculations comprising many one-point core calculations can have very strict constraints in computing time and will not directly benefit from the advances in computations in large scale computers. Consequently, in this paper we review some of the deterministic 3D transport methods which in the very near future may have potential for industrial applications and, even with low-order approximations such as a low resolution in energy, might represent an advantage as compared with present industrial methodology, for which one of the main approximations is due to power reconstruction. These methods comprise the response-matrix method and methods based on the two-dimensional (2D) method of characteristics, such as the fusion method.
