연료전지 발전시스템은 발전효율이 높고, 공해물질이 없는 등 많은 장점을 갖는 에너지생산 방 식에 따라 장래의 이용이 크게 기대되고 있다. 현재 연구개발에 많은 성과를 보이고 있는 미국. 일본에서는 인산형 연료전지의 상업화를 위해 수 MW급의 발전시스템의 신뢰성 실험을 진행 중에 있으며 용융탄산염형 연료전지, 고체산화물형 연료전지의 기초연구를 거의 완성한 단계에 있다. 국내에서도 연료전지발전은 화력발전의 한계, 발전연료의 다원화에 따른 천연가스의 수 입이용이 대폭 확대될 전망임에 따라 이용의 필요성이 많이 대두되고 있다. 특히 많은 섬과 산간지방 등 고립분산지역을 갖고 있는 국내 여건으로 볼 때, 송전. 배전시설이 필요 없는 온사이 트형 연료전지 발전설비가 설치될 경우 많은 이점을 가져올 수 있기 때문에 동 분야의 연구개 발이 필요한 상황이다. 전력은 국가의 핵심에너지로서 전력생산기술의 자립은 매우 중요하다. 특히 우리나라도 선진화되면서 새로운 첨단기술의 도입에 의한 에너지생산기술의 확보가 선진 국들의 기술보호정책에 의해 장애를 받고 있다. 연료전지기술의 경우도 일본이 동 분야를 국 책과제로 지정한 뒤 각 기업이 연구개발에 나서고 있는데, 이미 1980년대 초에 미국과 기술제휴 를 하면서 아시아지역 전체에 대한 전매권을 확보한 상태이며, 다른 타국과의 기술제휴 및 기 술이전을 거부한 채 실용화를 위한 경제성 확보의 시기를 기다리고 있다. 이와 같은 이유로 극복하기 위해 집중적인 투자를 확대하여 독자적인 기술을 확보해야한다.

The rubber pads era tank which undergo dynamic deformations with the sufficient amplitudes and frequencies lead to a considerable internal temperature rise due to the heat generation. The heat generation which is dependent on the viscoelastic characteristics or a rubber is due to the conversion of partial mechanical energy into thermal energy identical to the area oi hysteresis loop. Heat generation without adequate heat dissipation leads to heat build-up and the excessive temperature rite exerts a bad influence upon the performance and the life of rubber products. In this paper, temperature distributions of the rubber pads of a tank track subjected to dynamic loads are obtained under the assumption of the steady state. Heat generation rates used in this finite element analysis are acquired through experiments and the computed temperature fields are displayed in isothermal contour regions.

Background: Mitral valve replacement with chordal preservation in patients with mitral regurgitation has been proved to be beneficial for left ventricular function and for reduction of postoperative complication. However, in patients with mitral stenosis, the effectiveness of the technique is controversial. It is not easy to insert prosthetic valve without left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and prosthetic valve leaflet motion hinderance. Material and Method : Five patients with mitral stenosis and seven patients with mitral stenoinsufficiency underwent mitral valve replacement with preservation of mitral subvalvular apparatus. Thickened and calcified leaflets are made thin by peeling off the thickened and calcified part. Commissurotomy was done and anterior leaflet was incised 2 mm apart from the annulus and then divided into two segments. Anterolateral and posteromedial segments including strut chordae, were reattached to mitral commissural area, respectively. Result: There was no evidence of prosthetic valve dysfunction, paravalvular leakage, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, complications and operative or late deaths. Conclusion: We conclude that mitral vlave replacement with chordal preservation was safe and effective technique for the patients with mitral stenotic disease.

The purpose of this study was to confirm the reduction of pain and symptom relief of Parkinson's disease by vertically stimulating the spine through the application of a mechanical bed capable of thermal and massage stimulation. For this purpose, after confirming the segmental motion of the spine due to the use of a medical combination stimulation bed for Parkinson's disease patients, VAS, ODI, gait ability, and spiral drawing tests were performed, and the relationship between the variables was identified. In the 10-day visual analog scale and evaluation of low back pain dysfunction, the average trend of decreasing after bed use was confirmed. For walking ability, a decrease in the moving time and an increase in the moving distance were observed. In the spiral drawing test, the mean test time after using bed was significantly lower than before. As a result, it suggested the possibility of using it as an auxiliary method for recovery and pain relief of Parkinson's disease patients due to spinal segmental movement with mechanical heating and massage. However, this study is a preliminary study, and there is a small number of subjects, so additional research is needed that considers the number and condition of future subjects in detail.

Purpose : Perinatal asphyxia occurring in newborn is one of the major causes of acute mortality and chronic neurological disability in survivors. We have studied the relationship between early electroencephalography(EEG) findings and clinical course and neurologic outcome in severe asphyxiated neonates. Methods : Between the period of July 1999 and June 2002, 25 neonates who were diagnosed with severe perinatal asphyxia(1-minute Apgar score of ${\leq}3$ and initial pH is less than 7.2) at NICU in Dongsan Medical Center were enrolled. An EEG was recorded and analyzed within three days of life and divided into two groups - group 1(normal or focal change on EEG) and group 2(generalized abnormal EEG). Between the two groups, clinical courses and neurologic outcomes were compared. Results : Fifteen infants(60%) were group 1 and ten infants(40%) were group 2(polyspikes, burst-suppression, generalized low voltage). Associated maternal disease, days of hospitalization, need for ventilator support, delay of oral feeding and convulsion duration are significantly higher and longer in group 2. Also, poor neurologic outcome(expire, developmental delay) was significantly higher in group 2(60%) than group 1(13.3%). Conclusion : Thus, the early neonatal EEG in asphyxiated newborn can be a predictable diagnostic tool in assessment of neurologic outcome.

유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 신경망의 가중치를 학습하는 방법은 역전파 알고리즘이 가지는 여러 가지 문제점을 해결하기 위해 제안되었으나, 유전자 알고리즘 역시 전역 탐색이 아니기 때문에 실세계의 데이터에 적용하기 어려운 가장 큰 장애 요소인 지역 최소점 문제를 완벽하게 해결할 수는 없다. 이러한 지역 최소점 문제를 완화하기 위해 본 논문에서는 기생체-숙주 공진화 현상을 기반으로 한 유전자 알고리즘을 사용한 경쟁 공진화 신경망 학습 방법을 제시하고 있다. 경쟁 공진화는 서로 다를 개체간의 경쟁적인 진화를 통해 궁극적으로 보다 적합도가 높은 개체가 생성되는 이론을 기반으로 하고 있다. 이러한 경쟁 공진화를 통한 신경망 가중치의 학습이 일반적인 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 신경망을 학습시키는 것보다 더욱 우수한 가중치 집단을 탐색할 수 있음을 두 종류의 기계 학습 데이터를 통해 입증하였다.

Progress measurement provides project participants with valuable information in terms of 'current status', 'corrective countermeasure', and 'forecast of future risks'. However, the managerial effort (or workload) required to acquire and maintain detailed progress data has been the major barrier to practical implementation. Even though recent efforts in utilizing data acquisition technologies (DATs) have actively attempted to automate the progress measurement process, previous DAT research has only been focused on limited construction tasks or selected technologies. This paper proposes a DAT selection algorithm that automatically assign an appropriate DAT for every commodity item for an entire constriction project. Five different criteria were identified and developed in order to comprehend specific requirements for automating the progress measurement of each commodity group. A case-study and also a survey from practitioners were conducted in order to validate the proposed methodology.

In this paper, we propose a training algorithm of support vector machine (SVM) with a sensitive variable. Although machine learning models enable automatic decision making in the real world applications, regulations prohibit sensitive information from being used to protect privacy. In particular, the privacy protection of the legally protected attributes such as race, gender, and disability is compulsory. We present an efficient least square SVM (LSSVM) training algorithm using a fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to protect a partial sensitive attribute. Our framework posits that data owner has both non-sensitive attributes and a sensitive attribute while machine learning service provider (MLSP) can get non-sensitive attributes and an encrypted sensitive attribute. As a result, data owner can obtain the encrypted model parameters without exposing their sensitive information to MLSP. In the inference phase, both non-sensitive attributes and a sensitive attribute are encrypted, and all computations should be conducted on encrypted domain. Through the experiments on real data, we identify that our proposed method enables to implement privacy-preserving sensitive LSSVM with FHE that has comparable performance with the original LSSVM algorithm. In addition, we demonstrate that the efficient sensitive LSSVM with FHE significantly improves the computational cost with a small degradation of performance.

Neonatal bleeding is a common problem encountered in nursery rooms or neonatal intensive care units, especially among premature infants. Furthermore, owing to recent remarkable improvement of neonatology, survival rates of preterm neonates have increased; hence, neonatal bleeding cannot be emphasized enough. Since the total blood volume of neonates is small, bleeding can be one of the causes of morbidities and mortalities. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and immediate therapy is urgently needed. The patient's medical history including a familial history of a bleeding disorder or of a previously affected infant who suffered from bleeding along with maternal and neonatal drugs can provide important diagnostic clues. Presence of bleeding with or without petechiae and ecchymoses in a healthy term or late preterm infant with thrombocytopenia but normal prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time strongly suggests a congenital bleeding disorder. For a sick infant who is bleeding from multiple sites, an acquired disorder such as disseminated intravascular coagulation is suspected. Intracranial hemorrhage in term or late preterm infants without a history of birth trauma is highly suggestive of coagulation disorders. The purpose of this review is to summarize recent advances in diagnostic methods is as well as basic concepts of neonatal hemostatic disorders. First, an outline of background information will be presented followed by a discussion of primary and secondary hemostatic disorders as well as inherited and acquired disorders.
