[ $Tb_{3-x}Bi_xFe_5O_{12}$ ] has been studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer, $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The crystal structures were found to be a cubic garnet structure with space group Ia3d. The lattice constants increase linearly with increasing bismuth concentration. With increase of bismuth substitution, the $N\'{e}el$ temperature increases but the compensation temperature decreases. We have observed the negative magnetization in Bi-TbIG system which has not been reported in garnet systems. $M\"{o}ssbauer$ spectra were measured at various temperatures from 4.2 K to $N\'{e}el$ temperature. The isomer shifts at room temperature are ${\sim}0.26mm/s$ which is consistent with ferric state.

This study was to investigate the vitrification method for cryopreservation technique of bovine in vitro fertilization(IVF) embryos. The morphological appearance and viability following vitrification of IVF bovine blastocysts and expanded blastocysts were examined. Embryos obtained 6, 7, 8 or 9 days after IVF were vitrified in both 40% ethylene glycoI(EG) plus 0.3M trehalose and 20% polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) in DPBS(ETP, Exp. 1) and ETP solution added 0.375M dextrose (ETPD, Exp. 2). The viability of Days 6, 7, 8 and 9 vitrified /thawed embryos at 24∼48 h culture after thawing was 11.9%, 19.8%, 23.4% and 15.3% in ETP(Exp. 1), and 34.6%, 54.5%, 37.9% and 13.0% in ETPD(Exp. 2), respectively. The viability of vitrified embryos produced from the culture days after IVF did not differ in Exp. 1, but significantly differ in Exp. 2(P＜0.05). The viability of blastocysts and expanded blastocysts significantly differed(P＜0.05) in 15.2% and 23.3%(Exp. 1), and 25.0% and 45.8%(Exp. 2). The result of Exp. 1 was similar to that of Exp. 2 on the viability of embryo according to developmental stages, but ETP solution plus sugar(dextrose) was increased the viability of vitrified embryos. In Experiment 3, The viability of vitrified embryos was not different between 12% and 20% PVP concentrations in ETP solution according to culture days or developmental stages. To investigate the effect of addition of sugar, two type of carbohydrates and a mixture of cryoprotectants for vitrification on the survival of bovine IVF embryos, bovine Days 7 to 9 blastocysts and expanded blastocysts were cryopreserved in either 20% glycerol plus 20% EG, 0.375M sucrose and 0.375M dextrose (GESD, Exp. 4) or 20% glycerol plus 20% EG, 0.3M trehalose and 20% PVP(GETP, Exp. 5) in DPBS. Survival rates of Day 7, 8 and 9 embryos at 24∼48h culture after thawing were 71.4%, 94.6% and 40.5% in GESD, and 59.5%, 81.5% and 62.5% in GETP, respectively. Hatching rates of Day 7, 8 and 9 embryos after thawing were 28.6%, 35.1% and 16.2% in GESD, and 27.0%, 33.3% and 18.8% in GETP, respectively. These results indicates that a mixture of cryoprotectants(glycerol and EG) and addition of sugar can improve the survival rates of the bovine IVF embryos(Day 7 or 8) vitrified, and the expanded blastocyst embryos are more suitable for vitrification than early blastocysts stage.

Magnetization Transfer (MT) imaging generates contrast dependent on the phenomenon of magnetization exchange between free water proton and restricted proton in macromolecules. In biological materials in knee, MT or cross-relaxation is commonly modeled using two spin pools identified by their different T2 relaxation times. Two models for cross-relaxation emphasize the role of proton chemical exchange between protons of water and exchangeable protons on macromolecules, as well as through dipole-dipole interaction between the water and macromolecule protons. The most essential tool in medical image manipulation is the ability to adjust the contrast and intensity. Thus, it is desirable to adjust the contrast and intensity of an image interactively in the real time. The proton density (PD) and T2-weighted SE MR images allow the depiction of knee structures and can demonstrate defects and gross morphologic changes. The PD- and T2-weighted images also show the cartilage internal pathology due to the more intermediate signal of the knee joint in these sequences. Suppression of fat extends the dynamic range of tissue contrast, removes chemical shift artifacts, and decreases motion-related ghost artifacts. Like fat saturation, phase sensitive methods are also based on the difference in precession frequencies of water and fat. In this study, phase sensitive methods look at the phase difference that is accumulated in time as a result of Larmor frequency differences rather than using this difference directly. Although how MT work was given with clinical evidence that leads to quantitative model for MT in tissues, the mathematical formalism used to describe the MT effect applies to explaining to evaluate knee disorder, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and meniscal tear. Calculation of the effect of the effect of the MT saturation is given in the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) which is a quantitative measure of the relative decrease in signal intensity due to the MT pulse.

In this study, crystal structures and magnetic properties of as-ast, annealed and rapidly solidified Mn-A1-M( M=Cu, Fe) alloys have been investigated. In $Mn_{0.56}Al_{0.44}$ alloys, the largest fraction of $\tau$ phase and values of magnetic properties was obtained in Mnl, i6Alo or alloy. And this alloy was used as the basic composition. In $Mn_{0.56-X}M_{X}Al_{0.44}$ alloys, when annealed, $\tau$- and $\beta$-Mn phase appeared at x< 0.08, $\tau$- and $\kappa$ phase at 0.10 $\leq x \leq$ 0.12 and $\kappa$- phase only at 0.15 $\leq x \leq$0.20 . When rapidly solidified, specimens showed similar phases as when annealed except that $\varepsilon$ phase appeared at x=0.04. In Mnu FexAlo 44 alloys, asyast specimens showed $\tau$-, $\beta$-Mn and $\gamma_2$- phase at x<0.08 and K and $\beta$-Mn phase at x>0.10. When rapidly solidified, Mn-Fe-Al specimens showed $\varepsilon$-, $\gamma_2$- and small amount of $\tau$- and $\kappa$ phase at x<0.08 and $\kappa$- phase only at 0.$\leq x \leq$0.20. All the alloys investigated were ferromagnetic. The Curie temperature of annealed specimens and rapidly solidified of Mno 5sAlu 44 alloy were -650K and -644K. Spontaneous magnetization( UII of annealed and rapidly solidified specimens were 40-45 (emu/g) and 50-52(emu/g), respectively. Remanent (M,) to saturation magnetization( Ms) ratio was -0.7. M, of rapidly solidified specimen was about 48(emu/g). Magnetic properties of $Mn_{0.56}Al_{0.44}$ alloys were found to be determined by the relative fraction of ferromagnetic r- and K- phase. When M= Cu and x=0.15, maximum as($\sigma_{0.0}$) was obtained by about 64.3 emu/g), and when M=Fe and x=0.15, 66.4( emu/g). The Curie temperature decreased as x increased.

풀 브릿지 컨버터는 1차 측과 2차 측이 트랜스포머를 통하여 절연되어 있으며, 이 트랜스포머에 교번으로 전압을 걸어주어 1주기에 2번의 전력을 전달한다. 이러한 전력 전달 과정에서 트랜스포머에 흐르는 자화 전류에 오프셋이 발생할 수 있으며, 이는 효율 감소 및 소자의 파괴를 야기할 수 있으므로 제거하는 것이 바람직하다. 디지털 개발 환경에서 트랜스포머의 자화 전류 오프셋을 줄이고 동특성의 개선을 위하여 예측 제어 방식을 사용한 최대 전류 제어 방식을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 동작을 검증한다.

기존 1차 측 제어(Primary Side Regulation: PSR) 방식 중 최고의 성능을 보이는 i사의 방식은 DCM에서 동작하는 전류가 0A에 도달했을 때 3차 권선을 통해 1차 측에서 출력전압을 검출하는 방식이다. 기존 방식은 전류가 0A가 되는 시점을 예측하여 검출하는 방법을 사용하기 때문에 트랜스포머의 자화인덕턴스 값의 허용오차에 따라 변동 폭이 커질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자화인덕턴스의 크기에 관계없이 기존 방식보다 더 정확하게 검출하는 방법을 제시하고, PSIM을 사용한 모의실험을 통하여 검증한다.

This study was to examine whether Hanwoo IVM/IVF/IVC blastocyst can be successfully survived in vitro/in vivo after vitrification and one-step dilution. For vitrification, blastocysts were serially exposed in glycerol (G) and ethylene glycol(EG) mixtures［10% (v Iv) G for 5 min., 10% G plus 20% EG (v/v) for 5 min., and 25% G plus 25% EG (v/v) for 30 sec.］ which is diluted in 10% FBS added D-PBS. And then they were loaded in the straw, placed in cold nitrogen vapor for 3 min. and plunged into L$N_2$(－196$^{\circ}C$). One-step dilution within the straw was done in $25^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ water for about 5 min. and 3 min., respectively. Recovered embryos after one-step dilution were cultured in cumulus cell mono-layered drop for 48 h or were transferred into recipient cows. When the embryo survival in vitro was assessed to re-expanded and hatched rates at 24 hand 48 h after one-step dilution, the results of vitrified group (85.4, 43.8%) was high, although these results were significantly lower than normal development (100.0, 63.3%) of control group, respectively (P＜0.001, P＜0.05). When in vitro survival of vitrified groups according to developmental stage was compared, the results of fast developed embryos (expanded blastocyst and early hatching blastocyst stage) were significantly higher than those of delayed developed one (early blastocyst stage) after one-step dilution (early hatching: 88.0, 48.0%: expanded: 81.1, 45.3%; early: 66.7, 14.3%) (P＜0.05). Also, in case of in vitro survival of vitrified groups according to embryo age (day 7, 8 and 9), when embryo age was younger, in vitro survival was significantly higher (day 7: 67.3, 34.5%; day 8: 76.9, 40.7%; day 9: 60.9, 23.9%)(P＜0.05). Finally, when in vivo development potential of vitrified and one-step diluted Hanwoo blastocysts was examined, 4 of 8 recipient (50%) cows became confirmed pregnant. These results demonstrated that our vitrification and one-step dilution technique can be applied easily and effectively on field trial without the equipment and embryological skills required for conservative dilution and transfer.

With polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, peroxidase isoenzyme patterns in the terminal buds of grafted, 20-year-old Pinus elliottii trees were compared between abundant-flowering and poor-flowering trees during the period of female flower bud initiation. A total of nine peroxidase bands were observed in the terminal buds. The total amount of peroxidase enzymes in slash pine buds showed no significant difference between the abundant-flowering and poor-flowering trees. However, the fifth band from the gel front was observed in all the samples of abundant-flowering trees throughout the sampling period (July 8 to September 17), while this band was absent in most of the poor-flowering trees.
