The effects of binder content and silica sand content on the durability characteristics of lightweight polymer concretes are examined. As a result, the flame lingering times using unsaturated polyester resin and non-combustible polyester resin were 60∼120 and 0∼4 seconds respectively, and the combustion lengths were 9∼11 mm and 0∼3 mm, respectively. Thus it is believed that the lightweight polymer concrete was incombustible and the light weight polymer concrete in which non-combustible material was added was perfectly non-combustible. The percent of original mass of lightweight polymer concrete, according to the freezing-thawing experiment, was below 0.3 %, which was much less than that of cement concrete. The pluse velocity, for the case of the binder content 28 %, showed the minimum decreasing rate for the lightweight polymer concrete with silica sand content of 50 %. The higher the binder content, the greater the durability. That is much higher than other material and believed that the freezing-thawing was suppressed by a low absorption.

겨울철의 영하의 날씨와 잦은 눈으로 인해 도로 포장의 파손이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도로 포장의 동결융해 메커니즘을 살펴보고, 다양한 평가 방법을 통해 배수성 아스팔트 포장의 동결융해 저항성을 평가하였다. 동결융해 저항성의 평가방법은 강성 포장과 연성 포장이 각각의 특성에 따라 다양한 평가 방법을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 변형률의 측정, 수정 로트만 실험, 반복 동결융해 실험, 표면 박리 저항성 실험과 같은 강성 포장과 연성 포장의 대표적인 동결융해 저항성 실험을 적용하여 평가를 실시하였다. 연구결과 배수성 아스팔트 콘크리트는 20%의 공극으로 인해 밀입도 아스팔트 콘크리트에 비해 온도에 따른 변형이 작은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한, 수분의 영향을 받는 동결융해 반복 실험에서도 수분의 원활한 배수와 수분의 동결 시 발생하는 팽창압을 분산시킬 수 있는 충분한 공극으로 인해 다른 종류의 아스팔트 혼합물에 비하여 동결 융해 저항성이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effects of a low-voltage ohmic heating process (2.5 and 3.8 V/cm) on the thawing characteristics and NaCl diffusion of pork. The thawing rate of pork was dependent on the applied voltages and brine salinities, and few differences were obtained in pork quality parameters (color, water-holding capacity, and shear force) regarding the different treatments. The NaCl concentration of pork after ohmic thawing was higher than that following brine-immersion thawing, however, the NaCl diffusion did not differ from when fresh meat was immersed in brine. For application of the ohmic process in fresh pork, various ohmic pulses were generated in order to prevent the meat from overheating, and the results indicated that the ohmic process was a better way to enhance NaCl diffusion compared with immersing pork at high temperature. Although the mechanisms involved in NaCl diffusion at low-voltage electric field strength were unclear, the present study demonstrated that the ohmic process has a potential benefit in the application of meat processing.

본 실험은 전압의 증가에 따른 염수 침지식 및 전극 접촉식 ohmic 해동 처리가 돈육의 이화학적 특성에 미치는 효과를 규명하고자 실시되었다. 염수 침지식 ohmic 해동방법은 전압에 의한 염수의 온도 상승에 의하여 시료가 해동 됨으로써 시료 표면의 과열 현상이 효과적으로 억제되었고, 해동 후 높은 보수력 및 전단력의 저하가 관찰되었지만, 육색이 다소 저하되는 단점을 나타내었다. 반면 전극 접촉식 ohmic 해동 방법은 해동 과정 중 얼음의 상전이 구간을 빠르게 통과함으로써 빠른 해동이 가능하였고, 해동 후 식육의 품질 저하가 최소화되었지만, 시료의 크기 및 전압의 증가에 따른 심한 표면 과열 현상이 발생할 수 있는 단점을 보였다. 따라서 염수 침지식 해동은 보다 높은 전압을 이용하여 식육을 빠르게 해동하고, 전극 접촉식 해동은 낮은 전압을 이용하여 표면 과열을 억제하면 보다 효과적인 해동이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

This study was carried out to set up the ovum bank for ovum donation and to determine the best freezing method for human immature oocytes. Human immature follicular oocytes were cryopreserved by slow freezing and rapid thawing method. Immature follicular oocytes were treated by propanediol(PROH) solution by 2 and 4 step method in protocols A & B, respectively. In protocol C, immature oocytes were exposed to sucrose prior to treatment of PROH by 4 step method. We compared survival rate, maturation rate, and fertilization rate of immature oocytes among three protocols. Results were as follows. 1. Oocytes treated by the protocol C showed the highest survival rate( 70.3 %) and maturation rate(34.6%) after thawing. 2. Survival rate of oocytes treated by the protocol C was significantly higher than that of the protocol B after thawing(p<0.05). In conclusion, treatment of oocytes with sucrose prior to expose PROH was the best freezing method. Sucrose may have reduced the toxic effect of cryoprotectant to oocytes. We failed to induce fertilization of oocytes, which were treated by any protocols, by conventional insemination method, but obtained 28.8% fertilization rate by using partial zona dissection(PZD) method. This result suggests that micromanipulation(PZD) of the thawed oocytes before insemination will improve the fertilization rate.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of slow freezing with that of vitrification method for the cryopreservation of human embryos. Human embryos were derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and the mixed solution of propanedial (1.5, 1.0, 0.5M PROH) and sucrose (0.1M), ethylene glycol (7.5, 15%), dimethyl sulfoxide (7.5, 15% DMSO), sucrose (0.5, 1.0M) and SPS (Serum Protein Substitute) was used for a cryoprotectant for slow freezing and vitrification solution, respectively. Rates of recovery after thawing, morphological normality, post-thaw viability, arrest, morphological abnormality and preimplantation development were compared between two protocols. After freezing-thawing, recovery and survial rate of slow freezing was (88.6% and 73.4%), whereas vitrification was (99.2% and 96.2%) (p<0.05). The arrest rate of slow freezing was significantly lower compared with those of vitrification(8.7% vs 29.9%) (p<0.05). Preimplantation development to the 2-cell (83.8% vs 67.7%), 4-cell (69.0% vs 47.2%) and 8-cell (62.4% vs 37.8%) stages 24, 48 and 72 h after thawing, respectively, were higher in the slow freezing than the vitrification. After slow freezing and vitrification of human embryo at 2-8cell stage, the rate of recovery rate, survival rate and partial damage rate were 92.0% vs 100%, 80.4% vs 96.2% and 52.2% vs 19.0%, respectively. And partial damage rate was significantly lower than those of slow freezing method (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that a slow freezing using PROH is more efficient than a vitrification for cryopreserving the human zygotes, although the vitrification yielded better recovery, survival and partial damage of frozen-thawed 2-8 cell stage embryos than slow freezing method.

The present experiments were focussed to modify a short slow-cooling protocol used for freezing of early stage embryo(Testart et al., 1986) and also to apply the modified method for the cryopreservation of hamster oocytes with Zona or without. The protocol was modified by changing the 4-step equilibration into 1-step and the 1-step thawing into 2-step. The oocytes were added in 1.5M PROH and 0.1M Sucrose, seeded at $-7^{\circ}C$, slow cooled($0.3^{\circ}C$/min) to $-30^{\circ}C$ before plunging to $-196^{\circ}C$. The oocytes were thawed at $23-25^{\circ}C$ air(20sec/150sec) and/or 33-35 water(10sec). The survival of the frozen-thawed oocytes was determined by morphologic criteria and their fertilizing ability was also estimated by Sperm Penetration Assay(SPA) system(Chang et al, 1990) using fertile men semen sample. One-step equilibration showed slightly higher survival rate(83.9% vs. 71.0%) and fertilization rate(83.9% vs. 71.0%) compared with four-step(p>0.05). And two-step thawing(air & water exposing) of oocytes frozen after 1-step equilibration showed significantly higher survival rate(96.3%) than one-step thawing at air(85.2%) or water(65.0%) only(p<0.05). Therefore, by the modified method(l-step equilibration & 2-step thawing), Zona-intact(ZI) and Zona-free(ZF) oocytes were frozen and thawed. ZI-oocytes showed significantly higher survival rate(95.4%, 308/323 vs. 67.6%, 240/355) than ZF-oocytes(P<0.01). But the survival of ZF-oocytes was as high as ZI-oocytes in fourteen of twenty-four replicates. ZI-oocytes was also significantly higher fertilization rate($92.4{\pm}8.9%$ vs. $63.7{\pm}18.5%$) and higher mean number of penetrated sperm($6.2{\pm}4.2$ vs. $3.9{\\pm}3.3$) than ZF-oocytes, but not higher than control(fresh oocytes;$99.3{\pm}2.4%$, $8.4{\pm}4.2$)(P<0.001). Conclusively, this modified method will contribute to freeze effectively the hamster oocytes for simplifing of the logical consideration of performing SPA and also to freeze the human and other animal oocytes.

This Study was carried out ot investigate the effects of concentration and equilibration time of cryoprotective aagents on survival rate of slowly and ultrarapidly frozen porcine embryos. The porcine embryos following dehydration by cryoprotective agents and 0.25M sucrose were slowly freezed(from 2$0^{\circ}C$ to -7$^{\circ}C$/-1$^{\circ}C$/min., from -7$^{\circ}C$ to -35$^{\circ}C$/-0.2$^{\circ}C$/min., from -35$^{\circ}C$ to -38$^{\circ}C$/-0.3$^{\circ}C$/min.) by Cell Freezer and directly plunged into liquid nitrogen and thawed in 38$^{\circ}C$ water bath. Survival rate was defined as development rate to the morula and blastocyst stage after in vitro culture or by FDA test. The results are summarized as follows : 1. The survival rates of porcine embryos after slow frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.25M sucrose added 2.0M glycerol, 3.0M DMSO, 2.0M propanediol or 2.0M glycerol＋2.0M propanediol was 80.6, 84.7, 75.0 or 78.8%, respectively. 2. The survival rates of porcine embryos after slow frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.50M sucrose added 2.0M glycerol, 3.0M DMSO, 2.0M propanediol or 2.0M glycerol＋2.0M propanediol was 80.9, 82.4, 73.1 or 77.1%, respectively. 3. The survival rates of porcine embryos after ultrarapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.25M sucroese added 2.0M glycerol, 3.0M DMSO, 2.0M propanediol or 2.0M glycerol＋2.0M propanediol was 65.3, 68.6, 63.2 or 59.9%, respectively. 4. The survival rates of porcine embryos after ultrapid frozen-thawing in the freezing medium of 0.50M sucrose added 2.0M glycerol, 3.0M DMSO, 2.0 propanediol or 2.0M glycerol＋2.0M propanediol was 67.5, 62.9, 56.9, or 62.8%, respectively. 5. The higher survival rate of porcine embryos was attained at the short period ofequilibration time(5min.) in the freezing medium added 0.25M sucrose and 3.0 DMSO compared to those of 10 or 20min. equilibration time in the same condition.

본 연구는 돼지에서 동결정액을 이용한 번식능력을 개선하기 위한 동결정액 포장재료의 효과를 구명하기 위하여 실시하였다. 본 시험에는 축산기술연구소 종축개량부 (충남, 성환)의 인공수정센터에서 사육중인 종모돈이 사용되었다. 기존의 돼지 동결정액 포장방법인 maxi-straw 동결정액 포장방법과 5$m\ell$빈 cryogenic-vial 및 aluminum-pack 포장방법을 비교한 결과 cryogenic-vial로 포장하여 액체질소 상단 15cm에서 동결한 후 52$^{\circ}C$ water bath에서 190초 융해한 방법이 기존의 maxi-straw 방법과 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. Cyogenic-vial 포장방법의 동결-응해 방법을 설정하기 위하여 융해시간을 달리하여 시험한 결과 액체질소 상단 15cm에서 동결하고 52$^{\circ}C$에서 190초 간 융해하였을 때 정자운동성이 120초 및 150초 응해시 보다 우수하였다 (P<0.05). 그러나 정상첨체비율은 응해시간 간에 차이가 없었다. 52$^{\circ}C$에서 45초간 응해 한 maxi-straw 포장방법과 52$^{\circ}C$에서 190초 융해한 cryogenic-vial 포장방법간에 정액성상을 비교한 결과 총정자운동성과 정자의 빠르기는 maxi-straw가 우수하였다 (P<0.05). 그러나 직진성과 정상첨체비율은 두 포장방법간에 차이가 없었다. 동결정액 포장방법별 인공수정시 번식성적은 maxi-straw 동결정액이 cryogenic-vial 동결정 액보다 수태율, 분만율, 그리고 산자수가 높았으나 통계적 유의차는 인정되지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 cryogenic-vial 포장 방법의 동결 및 음해방법을 좀 더 연구개발하면 기존의 maxi-straw포장방법을 대체하여 실용화 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
