Objective: This study aims to evaluate the chemical composition, fermentation quality and in vitro ruminal fermentation of various ratios and storage periods of liquid brewer's yeast (LBY) mixed with cassava pulp (CVP). Methods: Four mixtures of fresh LBY and CVP were made (LBY0, LBY10, LBY20, and LBY30 for LBY:CVP at 0:100, 10:90, 20:80, and 30:70, respectively) on a fresh matter basis, in 500 g in plastic bags and stored at 30 to $32^{\circ}C$. After storage, the bags were opened weekly from weeks 0 to 4. Fermentation quality and in vitro gas production (IVGP) were determined, as well as the dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE), neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and acid detergent lignin contents. Results: The contents of CP and EE increased, whereas all other components decreased, in proportion to LBY inclusion (p<0.01). The DM and OM contents gradually decreased in weeks 3 and 4 (p<0.05), while EE contents were lowest in week 0. The pH, ammonia nitrogen per total nitrogen ($NH_3-N/TN$) and V-score in each mixture and storage period demonstrated superior fermentation quality ($pH{\leq}4.2$, $NH_3-N/TN{\leq}12.5%$, and V-score>90%). The pH increased and $NH_3-N/TN$ decreased, with proportionate increases of LBY, whereas the pH decreased and $NH_3-N/TN$ increased, as the storage periods were extended (p<0.01). Although IVGP decreased in proportion to the amount of LBY inclusion (p<0.01), in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) was unaffected by the mixture ratios. The highest IVGP and IVOMD were observed in week 0 (p<0.01). Conclusion: The inclusion of LBY (as high as 30%) into CVP improves the chemical composition of the mixture, thereby increasing the CP content, while decreasing IVGP, without decreasing fermentation quality and IVOMD. In addition, a preservation period of up to four weeks can guarantee superior fermentation quality in all types of mixtures. Therefore, we recommend limiting the use of CVP as a feed ingredient, given its low nutritional value and improving feed quality with the inclusion of LBY.

In present study, attempts were made to preserve abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) sperm in liquid form at low temperature, to evaluate the effect of various diluents in short-term storage on sperm, and cryopreservation procedures were optimized for the cryoprotectants and freezing rates, as well as the motility, survival rate, and the ultrastructural changes of sperm after short-term storage and cryopreservation were observed. The abalone sperm reached maximum motility until about 4 min after activation. The motility was constant for about 16 min, after which it dropped gradually, and about 50 min later all motility ceased. In Hanks' balanced salt solution (HBSS, 300 and 400 mOsmol/kg) and 150, 250 and 350 mOsmol/k artificial seawater (ASW), the sperm was immotile. After 100% ASW was added, motility of those sperm, which are in 300, 400 mOsmol/kg HBSS, 250, 350 mOsmol/kg ASW, could be again restored incompletely. Sperm motility can be maintained for 20 days of cold storage only in ASW of 850 and 1200 mOsmol/kg. A high motility index of 3.5-4.5 was observed for the first 8 days in 850 and 950 mOsmol/kg ASW. In other diluents sperm motility was constant less than 10 days, and the motility index was obviously lower than that of sperm in 850 and 1200 mOsmol/kg ASW. After 20 days of cold storage, survival rates of 10.2%-20.7% were obtained in ASW and 300 mOsmol/kg HBSS, and that in 400 HBSS (65.3%) was significantly higher than others. The constant period of sperm motility stored in 850 mOsmol/kg ASW was obviously longer than that in 1200 mOsmol/kg ASW after 6 days of storage. The sperm plunged into liquid nitrogen all died except that sperm using 15% glycerol as cryoprotectant restored 10.4% of motility. The highest motility index (3.4) was obtained with 5% glycerol and freezing procedure: $-50^{\circ}C$/min from $20^{\circ}C$ to $-80^{\circ}C$.

Cryogenic systems are requirement for the operation of HTS power cables. In general, HTS power cables require temperature below 77K, a temperature that can be achieved from the liquid nitrogen at latm or sub-cooled LN2 above latm. HTS power cable needs sufficient refrigeration to overcome its low temperature heat loading. This loading typically cones in two forms : (1) heat leaks from the surroundings and (2) internal heat generation. This paper explains the cooling test system of 10m HTS power cable. This system is composed of storage dewar, auto fill system, core cryostat and cold-box. Storage dewar is a LN2 storage tank and auto fill system is a LN2 supply device to the sub-cooler, Core cryostat is a LN2 flow line. Cold box is a control unit of temperature and flow rate. It is composed of control valve, flow meter, sub-cooler and circulation pump, etc..

본 연구는 다양한 조건에서 장기 보존한 느티만가닥버섯 균주의 균사 생존력과 재배성능 검증을 수행하였다. 균사 생존력은 장기 보존된 균주를 9, 21, 33, 45개월 단위로 해동하여 PDA 평판배지에 접종한 다음 1, 2, 3, 4, 5차 계대배양에 따른 균사 생장길이를 측정하여 검증하였다. 액체질소에 보존한 균사를 해동 직후 실시한 1차 계대배양에서는 동결보호제로써 Glycerol 10%를 단용으로 처리한 실험구에서 균사생장이 저조한 결과를 나타내었으나, 5차 계대배양에서는 버섯 균사의 생장력이 다른 실험구와 동일한 수준으로 회복되어, 저장방법에 따른 균사의 생존력에는 큰 영향이 없는것으로 판단된다. 그러나 느티만가닥버섯을 액체 질소에 장기간 보존하고자 할 때는 동결보호제로 사용되는 Glycerol 10%에 Trehalose 5%를 첨가하여 보존해야 균사의 생존력을 유지하는데 도움이 된다. 장기 저장에 따른 느티만가닥버섯 균주의 재배 성능 시험에서는 $4^{\circ}C$ 사면배지에 보호제로써 mineral oil을 사용하는 것이 사면배지 자체로 보존하는 것에 비해 수확량이 감소하는 결과를 나타내므로 장기 저장시에 mineral oil을 사용하는 것은 지양해야 할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 바나듐 레독스 흐름전지의 효율을 향상시키고자 탄소펠트에 열산화 반응과 암모니아수 처리를 이용하여 질소가 도핑된 탄소펠트 전극을 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 탄소펠트 전극의 전기화학적 특성평가를 위하여 CV 실험 및 충/방전 실험을 실시하였다. 암모니아수 처리온도가 증가함에 따라 탄소펠트 표면의 질소 관능기가 증가함을 XPS를 통하여 확인하였으며, CV 측정 결과 암모니아수 처리된 탄소펠트는 열산화된 탄소펠트에 비하여 산화/환원의 반응성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 충/방전 실험결과 $300^{\circ}C$에서 암모니아수 처리한 탄소펠트 전극은 열산화된 탄소펠트 전극보다 에너지효율, 전압효율, 전류효율이 각각 약 6.93, 1.0, 4.5%씩 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 이는 질소 관능기가 탄소펠트 전극과 전해질 사이의 전기화학적 성능 향상에 도움을 주었기 때문으로 사료된다.

밀폐된 초저온액화가스 저장탱크에 액화질소의 충전량을 바꾸어 가면서 시간이 경과함에 따른 탱크 내부의 여러 가지 변화에 대해 조사하였다. 탱크 내부의 압력, 온도, 액체와 기체의 비율 등의 변화는 충전된 액체의 양에 의존한다. 탱크에 충전된 액체의 양에 따라 (1)액면이 높아지면서 액화를 동반하기도 하고, (2)액면이 높아짐에도 불구하고 초기에는 액체의 기화가 일어나다가 압력이 높아지면 다시 액화가 일어나기도 하며, (3)액면은 일정하게 유지되지만 액체의 기화가 일어나기도 하며, (4)액면이 낮아짐과 동시에 액체의 기화가 일어나는 등 다양한 변화를 나타내었다. 탱크에 액체를 가득 채우면 압력이 급상승하여 매우 위험하므로 안전수칙에 따라 $90\%$ 이하 충전해야한다. 탱크가 완전히 밀폐되어 있을 경우, 탱크를 액체로 가득 채우면 불과 5일만에 80bar의 압력상승을 가져오지만, $90\%$ 충전하면 5일 동안에 겨우 1.5bar의 압력상승이 일어난다. 그러나 어느 경우이건 액체를 충전한 채 탱크를 완전히 밀폐시킨 뒤 장기간 방치하는 것은 대단히 위험하다.

With the tightening of environmental regulations (i.e., IMO Tier III), natural gas (NG) has been spotlighted as an eco-friendly fuel with few air pollutants other than nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur oxides (SOx). For reasons of economic efficiency, it is mainly stored and transported in a liquid state at $-163^{\circ}C$, which is a cryogenic temperature, using a liquefied gas storage tank. Accordingly, it is necessary to reduce the boil-off gas (BOG) occurrence due to the heat flow according to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the storage tank. Therefore, in this study, a BOG measurement test on an independent-type storage tank made up of SUS304L was carried out. The test results showed the tendency for BOG occurrence according to the temperature under different filling ratios.

Garole is a prolific, rare, less known and small size Indian sheep breed found in low and humid Sunderban region of West Bengal. Although information on stored Garole ram liquid semen upto 24 h is available, but there is a need to further investigate the short-term and long-term preservability of Garole ram semen for extensive utilization of this valuable germplasm by artificial insemination. The aim of the present study was to apply computer-assisted sperm analysis technique for assessing the motion characteristics of Garole ram semen stored (i) in liquid state at refrigeration temperature for short-term preservation upto 48 h and (ii) in frozen state at $-196^{\circ}C$ for long-term preservation after packaging in mini straws. Short-term preservation had a significant effect on motility (p<0.01) as the motility progressively decreased from 90.1% at 0 h to 85.5% and 73.2% after 24 and 48 h of storage, respectively. Although the decline in rapid moving sperms was also significant (p<0.01) on storage but the decrease was more pronounced at 48 h as compared to 24 h of storage period. Storage of chilled semen had also a significant effect on % linearity (p<0.05), % straightness (p<0.01), sperm velocities (p<0.01), amplitude of lateral head displacement (p<0.01) and beat frequency (pO.Ol) of spermatozoa. The replication had a significant effect for all the variables except average path and straight line velocity. However, the interactions of short-term storage and replication were non-significant for most of the variables except % of medium moving sperms, sperm velocities and beat frequency. On long-term preservation of Garole ram spermatozoa under controlled conditions the mean post-thaw recovery of 70.4 and 71.4% motile spermatozoa was achieved having 48.8 and 48.9% of rapidly motile spermatozoa, respectively in both the replicates. The effect of replication on cryopreservation was significant (p<0.05) on amplitude of lateral head displacement and beat frequency, but there was no significant effect on motility, rapidly motile spermatozoa, linearity, straightness and sperm velocities of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. It can be concluded from these results that an average 70% motility can be achieved on storage of Garole ram semen in chilled liquid state upto 48 h or in liquid nitrogen after freezing under controlled conditions in straws. However, further studies are required to evaluate the fertility of short-term and long-term preserved Garole ram semen for extensive use of this prolific sheep breed.
