  • The gonadsomatic index (GSI) of mottled skate was the highest in April, GSI and HSI showed a reverse phase for its reproductive cycle. The fish had one pair of egg capsules, having 1 to 7 fertilized eggs, and spawned all the year round. When surveying the reproductive characteristics of females over 63 cm in disc width, we found the spawning peak was between April to June, and the appearance ratio of egg capsules was the highest in May (32.1%). The eggs were hatched at $8^{\circ}C$, $13^{\circ}C$, $18^{\circ}C$, water temperature (12.8 to $24.2^{\circ}C$), and the best hatching temperature was $18^{\circ}C$. The number of fish hatched was 4 to 5 fish/egg capsules, and the hatching rate was 100%. The sex ratios of hatching larvae were 45.5% female and 54.5% male. Therefore this study will provide fundamental data and information for artificial reproduction of the mottled skate.

  • Nutria(Myocastor coypus) is one of the most notorious invasive species in many countries. The Nutria's original range was South America like Brazil, Chile and Argentina. But it has been introduced to North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia including Korea, by fur ranchers. Like most invasive and disturbing species, nutria not only destroys habitats but also impacts many native species throughout most of its range with destructive feeding behavior. The purpose of this study is to investigate the dynamics of survival mechanism, population increase and spatial distribution, and eradication effect of Nutria on Nakdong River Area with the systems thinking. The result of this study revealed that Nutria can survive during winter with the behavior that the colder the winter was, the more deeply it burrowed. Further, the study uncovered the dynamics that nutria has survived more and more strongly during the extreme cold winter in almost every region and their population has increased dramatically as a result of the uncontrolled reproduction. Finally, the result showed that the action delay in eradicating Nutria, which was originated from the information delay of perception of nutria's survival and reproduction structure, reinforced the spread of Nutria across the nation.

  • Recently, the trend in the printing industry includes shorter run lengths and with fast turnaround times. As new markets have made it possible to produce small quantities of high-quality color products at affordable price, the general commercial printing meets the customer's diverse demand by using spot color besides process four colors. Especially, by using spot color for printing the enterprise's logo or specific color, we can see the effect of printing is getting better. With the combination of the right software, ink, media, and device can be treated as a digital proofer for spot color printing, providing significant time and cost savings compared to conventional procedures. The objective of this study is to investigate the quality of spot color proofs printed by ink-jet and dye sublimation proofer using ICC-based color management system. An Epson Stylus Color 3000 ink-jet proofer combined with Best Color Proof XXL RIP was tested for glossy and matte paper. 3M Rainbow dye sublimation proofer was examined using 3M Rainbow controller ver. 4.1 RIP on the manufacturer recommended proofing paper. ICC profiles were generated for each device using ECI 2002 visual target and evaluated for the accuracy of process 4 color reproduction. The test charts consisting of Pantone color 1140 was selected to test the quality of spot color reproduction.

  • Sexed sperm can contribute to increase the profitability of the cow industry through the production of offspring of the craved sex, such as males for meat or females for dairy production. Therefore, the utilization of sexed sperms plays a very important role in the production of offspring of superior cattle. In this study, we examined the pregnancy rates and calves sexing proportion of male and female calves produced using AI, both performed using sexed and conventional sperm. In the result, the conception rates after ET were 73.3% (33/45) sexed semen and 52% (55/104) conventional semen. Thus, the sex ratio for sexed-semen inseminations was 70% (21/30) females for singleton births within a 272 to 292 day gestation interval. The sex ratio for conventional semen was 61% (34/56) females for births. As a result, it is suggested that the use of sex classification sperm will play a very important role in the offspring production of Korean bovine.

  • Based on the anthropometric data of Korea male adults, a head and torso simulator(HATS) is constructed to measure its head related transfer functions (HRTFs) which can be used for three dimensional (3-D) sound localization. The HRTFs binaural impulse responses, are measured in an anechoic chamber using a burst maximum length sequence (MLS) signal of 65,535 samples and 32,768 samples acquisition at the sampling rate of 75.47kHz. Also measured are the impulse responses of a driving loudspeaker and some headphones for sound reproduction to get the exact HRTF of the HATS-alone. Through a post-processing procedure, the impulse-version HRTFs at the sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz, which have filter lengths of 512 points, are finally obtained. As an application of the measured HRTFs, a 3-D sound processor for headphone reproduction has been developed. The signal intervals to be processed can be selected and each interval is manipulated to have its diretionality and distance information by using corresponding HRTF and energy control.

  • Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a member of the glycoprotein hormone family which includes FSH. hCG TSH. These hormone family is characterized by a heterodimeric structure composed a common $\alpha$-subunit noncovalently linked to a hormone specific $\beta$-subunit. To determine u and $\beta$ -subunits can be synthesized as a single polypeptide chain (tethered-hCG) and also display biological activity, the tethered-hCC and -FSH molecule by fusing the carboxyl terminus of the hCG $\beta$-subunit to the amino terminus of the $\alpha$-subunit was constructed. To determine the importance of $\alpha$ COOH -terminal amino acid, we also deleted the $\alpha$ COOH-terminal amino acids. The expressing vectors were transfected into CHO-K 1 cells. The tethered-wthCG and -wtFSH was efficiently secreted. The $\alpha$ Δ83hCG and $\alpha$ Δ 83FSH mutants had no secretion. These results are the first conclusive evidence that COOH-terminal amino acids are very important for secretion in human glycoprotein hormone $\alpha$-subunit. These results demonstrated that the $\alpha$ Δ83hCG and $\alpha$ Δ 83FSH mutants could be play a pivotal role in the secretion of tethered-molecule.

  • These experiments were carried out to obtain basic information necessary for in vitro culture of aggregated mouse embryos. Inbred ICR mice were used to obtain embryos. The zona pellucida was removed by placing the embryos in Whittingham's medium containing 0.5% protease for about 5-10minutes at 37$^{\circ}C$. Total 263 pairs of 2-, 4- and 8-cell zona free mouse embryos were subjected to aggregation by physical pressure and cultured in Whittingham's medium under the gas phase of 5% CO2 in air at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 to 60 hours. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: 1. Time needed for fusion of 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos were 0-3, 0-3 and 0-3 hours, respectively and average time needed for in vitro development of 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos after aggregation to morula and blastocyst were 42, 30 and 13.5 hours, and 51, 39 and 27 hours, respectively. 2. Of total 263 pairs of naked embryos, 227 were firmly aggregated together and the rats of aggregation in 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos were 71.8, 88.3 and 97.0%, respectively. 3. The rates of aggregated pairs which obtained from 2-, 4- and 8-cell embryos developed to morula were 96.7, 95.6 and 96.9%, respectively, and embryos developed to blastocysts were 88.5, 89.7 and 90.8%, respectively. 4. Conspicuous differences in size of volume and inner cell masses between single and double blastocysts were observed. Although a single blastocolic cavity was formed in most double blastocysts, several formed two distinct cavities from the very beginning.

  • This stduy was carried out to obtain basic information available on ovulation, spawning, fertilization rate, hatching rate, and deformity rate after hCG injection in cyprinid loach, Misgurnus mizolepis. The results obtained in these experiments were as follows: 1. Ovulation and spawning occurred simultaneously and spawing was completed within 1 hour after ovulation. 2. More than 80% of fertilization rates appeared within 12 hours at 21$^{\circ}C$, 8 hours at $25^{\circ}C$, and 4 hours at 29$^{\circ}C$, respectively, following the onset of spawing. Afterwards, the fertilization rates of released eggs sharply decreased in three different water temperatures. 3. More than 70% of hatching rates appeared within 8 hours at 21$^{\circ}C$, 6 hours at $25^{\circ}C$, and 2 hours at 29$^{\circ}C$, respectively, following the onset of spawing. Afterwards, hatching rates of spawned eggs abruptly decreased in three different water temperatures. 4. The deformity rates of hatched larvae were high at $25^{\circ}C$, 8 hours following the onset of spawing. 5. Based on the developmental ability of oocytes, the optimum time of fertilization was 4 hours (stage 5) following the onset of spawing.
