We separately cultured follicular oocytes collected from individual ovaries of slaughtered Korean native cows and examined both the embryonic development rate and pregnancy rate after embryo transplantation according to the meat yield and quality grades of the source beef carcass. Oocytes from meat yield grade B cows exhibited a higher fertilization rate and embryonic developmental rate to the eight-cell stage than oocytes from grade A or C animals (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in rate of development to the blastocyst stage among meat yield grades A, Band C. The oocyte cleavage rate and development rate to the eight-cell stage from meat quality grade 3 cattle was higher than grades 1++, 1+, 1 and 2 (p<0.05). Embryos derived from grade animals displayed a development rate to the blastocyst stage of 19.4%, which was also higher than all other meat quality grades (p<0.05). Transplantation of in vitro-cultured oocytes from meat yield grade A ovaries led to a higher pregnancy rate (64.2%) than in vitro-cultured oocytes from meat yield grade B ovaries (56.5%), but there was no significant difference between the two groups in pregnancy or abortion rates. In conclusion, embryonic development rate and pregnancy rate has a close relation to meat quality grades of the source beef carcass, this results is to give information for the Korean native cows improvement of breed.

유지관리를 고려하여 도시철도 자갈도상을 콘크리트 도상으로 교체함에 따라 증가되는 소음진동을 저감하는 방안으로 흡음판을 기존 운행 중인 터널 내부에 부착하는 방안이 다양하게 시도되고 잇다. 기존의 설계에 반영되어 있지 않은 새로운 유지관리, 안전, 화재 등 여러가지 간섭현상이 주요 문제점으로 부각되었다. 국내외 설계기준과 시도된 방안들의 문제점과 시공 및 유지관리를 고려한 요구조건을 비교 검토하여 현실성있는 설치방안을 제한하고자 한다.
