Histology and transmission electron microscopy studies were carried out on buffalo muscles that were subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles at -10 and $-18^{\circ}C$. In the first freeze thaw cycle ($-10^{\circ}C$) structures of muscle showed slight change and closely resembled to those of normal muscle. There were frequent gaps in the half way across the fibres and some cracks in individual fibre were also noticed in second freeze thaw cycle. In the muscle frozen at $-18^{\circ}C$, more pronounced shrinkage with extensive damage of fibres with tearing was observed. The interfibrillar gaps were wider, shrinkage and tearing of the fibres were more distinct after second freeze-thaw cycle. After the second cycle, the interior portion showed large scale degradation of the ultrastructure. Our studies of buffalo muscle showed that under the proper condition, little structural damage takes place in the meat histology and ultrastructure under repeated freeze-thaw conditions. This study adds continued weight to the evidence that limited freeze-thaw cycles will not deteriorate the quality of meat.

A very fast algorithm, using fast Haar transformation with half a cycle dc-offset free data, to extract the power frequency components and to detect faults in power systems is proposed. For the speed-up, two important techniques are used. First, according to the symmetric characteristics of sine and cosine functions, fundamental frequency components are calculated with only half a cycle sample data. For using these characteristics, post-fault de-offset components must be removed beforehand. Therefore, secondly, a newly designed digital filter is used to remove exponentially decaying dc-offset from the post-fault signal. In accordance with series simulations, transmission line faults can be detected in around half a cycle after faults.

Centralized safety stock in a periodic replenishment system which consists of one central warehouse and m regional warehouse can reduce backorders allocation the centralized safety stocks to regional warehouse in a certain instant of each replenishment cycle. If the central warehouse can not monitoring inventories in the regional warehouse, then we have to predetermine the instant of allocation according to demand distribution and this instant must be same for all different replenishment cycle. However, transition of inventory level in each cycle need not to be same, and therefore different instant of the allocation may results reduced shortage compare to the predetermined instant of allocation. In this research, we construct a dynamic model based on the assumption of monitoring inventories inventories in the regional warehouse everyday, and develop an algorithm minimize shortage in each replenishment cycle using dynamic programming approach.

CrMo alloy steel was nitrided using two types of processing methods, ion-nitriding processing and nitrocarburizing. Both processes were conducted for a duration of 30 min. To compare the surface hardness of the alloys created by the different processes, microhardness tests were conducted, and fatigue tests of each material were performed by a cantilever rotary bending fatigue test machine (Yamamoto, YRB 200) in the very high cycle regime ($N>10^7cycle$). Fractography of the fractured surfaces was conducted by scanning electron microscopy - to observe the fracture mechanisms of very high cycle fatigue and the effect of the nitriding process on the fatigue characteristics.

In this work, we have constructed 3-axis flux-gate magnetometer for the attitude control of satellite. The constructed magnetometer shows uncertainty of ${\pm}1%$, noise level of $0.2nT/\sqrt{Hz}$ at 1 Hz under 1W power consumption. Environment test for satellite component, acceleration test and thermal cycle test were carried out. For the acceleration test, magnetometer was vibrated frequency ranging from 10 Hz to 1 kHz at 15 g (g : gravitational acceleration at earth), and for thermal cycle test, 4 times of thermal cycle were carried out temperature ranging from $-55^{\circ}C\;to\;+80^{\circ}C$ under vacuum of $1x10^{-6}Torr$.

An electric-pump cycle, which is a propellant supply system for driving pumps of a liquid rocket engine using an electric motor, has the advantages of simple system configuration and easy control of supply flow rate and pressure. This paper investigates and analyzes the overseas research trends of the electric-pump cycle. In addition, the research and development country, performing organization, application, engine thrust, pump pressure increase, motor power, and rotation speed are summarized. Among them, the design variables of the overseas research that applied the upper-stage propulsion system with the thrust range of 0.445~2.2 kN could be used in the study of a similar electric-pump cycle in Korea.

It has been suggested that the prognosis for fertility of the infertile patients with healed pelvic tuberculosis is very poor. Total 60 patients(77 cycles) with previous history of pelvic tuberculosis who underwent IVF-ET from January 1988 to March 1989 at SNUH were classified into three groups according to the principal histopathological lesions : tuberculous endometritis group(N=20, 28 cycles), tuberculous salpingitis group(N=32, 37 cycles) and pelvic peritoneal tuberculosis group(N=8, 12 cycles). To evaluate the effects of previous pelvic tuberculous lesions on ovarian follicular growth and development in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for IVF-ET and its final outcome, serum E2 levels on the day of hCG administration(Day 0) and the day after hCG administration(Day +1), the number of ovarian follicles with mean diamete ${\geqq}$ 12 mm on Day 0, the number of oocytes retrieved by transvaginal aspiration, and pregnancy rate per cycle were measured and compared with control group(N=123, 161 cycles). There were no significant differences in cancellation rate during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation, total dosage of FSH and hMG administrated, menstrual cycle date(MCD) of hCG injection, serum E2 levels, the number of ovarian follicles with mean diameter ${\geqq}$ 15 mm, and the number of oocytes retrieved between pelvic tuberculosis group and control group. But in pelvic tuberculosis group, the number of ovarian follicles with mean diameter 12-14 mm, total number of ovarian follicles(${\geqq}$ 12 mm), and pregnancy rate per cycle were significantly decreased. These data suggest that previous pelvic tuberculous lesions have no significant adverse effects on the ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation. IVF-ET proved to be an useful treatment modality for infertile patients with previous history of pelvic tuberculosis in spite of its relatively lowered pregnancy rate.
