There are several novel uses for dispersing many nanoparticles into a conventional fluid, including dynamic sealing, damping, heat dissipation, microfluidics, and more. Therefore, melting heat and mass transfer characteristics of a 3-D MHD Hybrid Nanofluid flow over a rotating disc with presenting dufour and soret effects are assessed numerically in this study. In this instance, we investigated both ferric sulfate and molybdenum disulfide as nanoparticles suspended within base fluid water. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into linked higher-order non-linear ordinary differential equations by the local similarity transformation. The collection of these deduced equations is then resolved using a Chebyshev spectral collocation-based algorithm built into the Mathematica software. To demonstrate how different instances of hybrid/ nanofluid are impacted by changes in temperature, velocity, and the distribution of nanoparticle concentration, examples of graphical and numerical data are given. For many values of the material parameters, the computational findings are shown. Simulations conducted for different physical parameters in the model show that adding hybrid nanoparticle to the fluid mixture increases heat transfer in comparison to simple nanofluids. It has been identified that hybrid nanoparticles, as opposed to single-type nanoparticles, need to be taken into consideration to create an effective thermal system. Furthermore, porosity lowers the velocities of simple and hybrid nanofluids in both cases. Additionally, results show that the drag force from skin friction causes the nanoparticle fluid to travel more slowly than the hybrid nanoparticle fluid. The findings also demonstrate that suction factors like magnetic and porosity parameters, as well as nanoparticles, raise the skin friction coefficient. Furthermore, It indicates that the outcomes from different flow scenarios correlate and are in strong agreement with the findings from the published literature. Bar chart depictions are altered by changes in flow rates. Moreover, the results confirm doctors' views to prescribe hybrid nanoparticle and particle nanoparticle contents for achalasia patients and also those who suffer from esophageal stricture and tumors. The results of this study can also be applied to the energy generated by the melting disc surface, which has a variety of industrial uses. These include, but are not limited to, the preparation of semiconductor materials, the solidification of magma, the melting of permafrost, and the refreezing of frozen land.

The objective of this study was to develop of semen transport system for cryopreservation and fertility in bull sperm. The ejaculated semen were diluted with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk for transportation. Diluted semen was transported by three methods that there were wrapping tissue (Tissue), sinking under $30^{\circ}C$ water (Water) and sinking between warm water and air (Air) methods. Semen was transported within 2 hours in $0.3^{\circ}C$. For this study, the freezing of diluted semen were added with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk. And frozen-thawed sperm were estimated with SYBR14/PI double stain for viability, FITC-PNA/PI double stain for acrosome reaction analysis and Rhodamine123 double stain for mitochondrial intact assessment. In results, live sperm (SYBR+/PI-) in Air treatment group ($43.3{\pm}4.7%$) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than other treatment groups (Tissue: $16.3{\pm}2.7%$ and Water: $27.5{\pm}3.1%$), dying sperm (SYBR+/PI+) in Air treatment group ($55.6{\pm}4.7%$) was significantly lower than other treatment groups (Tissue: $77.6{\pm}3.2%$ and Water: $67.6{\pm}3.3%$) (p<0.05). Acrosome reaction in Air treatment group ($0.2{\pm}0.1%$) within live sperm (PI negative region) was significantly (p<0.05) lower than other treatment groups (Tissue: $0.7{\pm}0.2%$ and Water: $0.5{\pm}0.1%$), the acrosome reaction in Air treatment group ($28.6{\pm}2.8%$) within all sperm also was significantly lower than other treatment groups (Tissue: $44.2{\pm}1.8%$ and Water: $36.2{\pm}2.0%$) (p<0.05). And mitochondrial intact in Air treatment group within live ($97.1{\pm}0.4%$) and all ($61.9{\pm}3.3%$) sperm were significantly higher than other treatment groups (Tissue: $85.2{\pm}3.3%$, Water: $87.8{\pm}2.9%$ within live sperm and Tissue: $49.28{\pm}3.7%$, Water: $42.0{\pm}3.1%$ within all sperm) (p<0.05). Therefore, we suggest that transportation by sinking method between warm water and air was beneficial to improvement of fertility in frozen-thawed in bull semen.

This study was designed to evaluate the effect of L-cysteine on sperm characteristics and oocyte cleavage in vitro in Korean native cattle. For this study, the freezing of diluted semen were added with Triladyl containing 20% egg-yolk and/or 0, 5, 10 and 20 mM L-cysteine before cryopreservation. The viability in frozen-thawed sperm were estimated by SYBR14/PI double stain, acrosome damage with FITC-PNA, mitochondria intact with Rhodamin123 and hydrogen peroxide($H_2O_2$) level with carboxy-DCFDA by flow-cytometry. The developmental capacity was also assessed with cleavage rates in oocytes fertilized in vitro by frozen-thawed sperm. In results, the sperm viability was significantly increased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). In addition, acrosome damage was significantly decreased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). The mitochondria intact was also significantly increased in 10 mM and 20 mM concentrations of L-cysteine than other groups (p<0.05). On the other hand, the cleavage rates were significantly increased in 0 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM groups than 20 mM concentration of L-cysteine (p<0.05). The oocyte degeneration of oocytes were significantly decreased in 0 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM groups than in 20 mM L-cysteine group (P<0.05). However, there are no significantly differences among the L-cysteine treatment groups. We suggest that concentration of 10 mM L-cysteine have beneficial impact for sperm cryopreserved in Korean native cattle. This result also could be recommended for artificial insemination program if supported by an improvement in the fertility results and required further study.

Spermatozoa sorted by flow cytometry have been successfully used to produce offspring in domestic animals and are commercially available for cattle. Also sheath fluid is the important environment for viability of sex-sorted sperm in flow cytometry. The aim of this study was to investigate whether or not HEPES (N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N'-2-Ethanesulfonic acid) has any effect on the viability in sex-sorted Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) sperm. In this study, the semen was collected from Hanwoo of Hoengseong Livestock Cooperation by artificial vagina method then pooled and subjected to cryopreservation in straws. Sperm were cultured for 0, 30, 60 and 120 min with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM of HEPES added to the sheath fluid and incubated at 4, 20 and 38$^{\circ}C$, respectively. For the cytometric analysis the frozen-thawed semen was extended with 5 mM HEPES extender to final concentration ($2{\times}10^7$ spermatozoa) at 4, 20 and 37$^{\circ}C$. Sperm viability was assessed with SYBR-14 and propidium iodide (PI) staining. This study shows that the viability of sperm was decreased with prolongation of incubation time in all of test. But the viability of sperm which were treated with 38$^{\circ}C$ was gently decreased than that of treated with other temperature. The viability of the control was sharply decreased (p<0.05) than all of the HEPES treatment group at 60 to 120 min in 38$^{\circ}C$. X-sexed sperm was more sensitive than Y-sexed sperm to temperature during f10w cytometry (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the sheath fluid with 5 mM HEPES has effect on maintenance of viability after sperm sexing at 37$^{\circ}C$ in Hanwoo.

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) recognizing Class III epitope of CD34 are essential for flow cytometric diagnosis of leukemia. Methods: 27H2 mAb was developed from a mouse alternatively immunized with human acute leukemia cell lines, KG1 and Molm-1. Using flow cytometric analysis of various leukemic cell lines and peripheral blood, immunohistochemical study of frozen tonsil, we characterized 27H2 mAb. Antigen immunoprecipitated with 27H2 mAb immunobloted with anti-CD34 mAb. A case of bone marrow sample of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patient was obtained at CBNU Hospital. For epitope identification enzyme treatment with neuraminidase and O-sialoglycoprotein endopeptidase (OSGE) and blocking assay with known classIII mAb (HPCA-2) were done. Results: Only KG1 and Molm-1 revealed positive immunoreactivity. Immunohistochemical staining disclosed strong membranous immunoreactivity on high endothelial venules. Antigen immunoprecipitated by 27H2 mAb showed approximately 100 kDa sized band immunoblotted with anti-CD34 under non-reducing conditions. Epitope recognized by 27H2 mAb disclosed resistancy to both neuraminidase and OSGE treatment and completely blocked with known class III mAb preincubation. CD34 positive leukemic cells in BM of pre B cell ALL patient detected by FITC-conjugated 27H2 and HPCA-2 were identified with similar sensitivity. Conclusion: A novel murine mAb recognizing class III epitope of human CD34 with high affinity, which is useful for flow cytometric diagnosis of leukemia, was developed.

A deterministic conceptual erosion model which simulates detachment, entrainment, transport and deposition of eroded soil particles by rainfall impact and flowing water is presented. Both upland and channel phases of sediment yield are incorporated into the erosion model. The algorithms for the soil erosion and sedimentation processes including land and crop management effects are taken from the literature and then solved using a digital computer. The erosion model is used in conjunction with the modified Kentucky Watershed Model which simulates the hydrologic characteristics from watershed data. The two models are linked together by using the appropriate computer code. Calibrations for both the watershed and erosion model parameters are made by comparing the simulated results with actual field measurements in the Four Mile Creek watershed near Traer, Iowa using 1976 and 1977 water year data. Two water years, 1970 and 1978 are used as test years for model verification. There is good agreement between the mean daily simulated and recorded streamflow and between the simulated and recorded suspended sediment load except few partial differences. The following conclusions were drawn from the results after testing the watershed and erosion model. 1. The watershed and erosion model is a deterministic lumped parameter model, and is capable of simulating the daily mean streamflow and suspended sediment load within a 20 percent error, when the correct watershed and erosion parameters are supplied. 2. It is found that soil erosion is sensitive to errors in simulation of occurrence and intensity of precipitation and of overland flow. Therefore, representative precipitation data and a watershed model which provides an accurate simulation of soil moisture and resulting overland flow are essential for the accurate simulation of soil erosion and subsequent sediment transport prediction. 3. Erroneous prediction of snowmelt in terms of time and magnitute in conjunction with The frozen ground could be the reason for the poor simulation of streamflow as well as sediment yield in the snowmelt period. More elaborate and accurate snowmelt submodels will greatly improve accuracy. 4. Poor simulation results can be attributed to deficiencies in erosion model and to errors in the observed data such as the recorded daily streamflow and the sediment concentration. 5. Crop management and tillage operations are two major factors that have a great effect on soil erosion simulation. The erosion model attempts to evaluate the impact of crop management and tillage effects on sediment production. These effects on sediment yield appear to be somewhat equivalent to the effect of overland flow. 6. Application and testing of the watershed and erosion model on watersheds in a variety of regions with different soils and meteorological characteristics may be recommended to verify its general applicability and to detact the deficiencies of the model. Futhermore, by further modification and expansion with additional data, the watershed and erosion model developed through this study can be used as a planning tool for watershed management and for solving agricultural non-point pollution problems.

The objective of this study was to evaluated the efficiency on sperm cryosurvival and ability of in vitro fertilization using Triladyl and Lactose Egg-Yolk(LEY) as extenders for cryopreservation of separated sperm by 65% percoll in miniature pig. Sperm viability was measured with SYBR-14/PI double stained sperm by flow cytometry. Ability on embryo cleavage rate and blastocyst development were observed by in vitro fertilization after frozen-thawing of sperm separated by 65% percoll. The experimental groups were designed that separated sperm by 65% percoll with Triladyl (ST) or LEY(SL) and unseparated sperm with Triladyl(UT) or LEY(UL) for cryopreservation. As a results, the viability was significantly(p<0.05) higher in ST(55.1%), SL(63.1%), UL(58.8%) than UT(38.2%) group. Sperm viability in SL(63.1%) group was significantly(p<0.05) higher than other experimental groups. On the other hand, embryo cleavage rate was significantly(p<0.05) higher in ST(79.1%), SL(83.2) than UT(74.1) and UL(75.7%) groups at 96h after in vitro fertilization. Blastocyst development was also significantly(p<0.05) higher in ST(21.5%), SL(20.9%) than UT(17.0%) and UL(18.8%) groups. In conclusion, cryopreservation of miniature boar sperm separated by 65% percoll were beneficial to viability and capacity on in vitro fertilization.

케로신/액체산소 추진기관을 갖는 KSR-III 로켓의 플룸 유동장에 대하여 로켓 동체/플룸 유동장에 대한 통합적인 해석을 수행하였다. 기체 열-화학 모델이 유동장에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 로켓 유동장을 해석하는 목적에 가장 적합한 기체 모델을 제시하기 위하여 열량적 완전기체, 다윈 화학종 반응기체, 그리고 화학적 동결기체의 세 가지 기체 모델을 사용하여 유동장을 해석하고 그 차이를 검토하였다. 반응유동 해석 결과는 노즐 내부에서의 화학반응에 의한 연소가스의 온도 증가로 인해 다른 기체 열화학 모델에 비해 전체적으로 더 높은 온도 분포를 나타내었다. 플룸에서의 모든 화학반응은 전단류와 배럴 충격파 반사지점 후방의 고온 영역에 국한되어 일어났으며, 본 해석의 경우 플룸 내에서의 유한속도 화학반응이 유동에 미치는 영향은 미약한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 본 연구에서 이루어진 유한속도 화학반응을 고려한 플룸 해석을 통하여 플룸에서의 주된 화학반응 및 반응 메커니즘을 확인할 수 있었다.
