본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 해석을 이용하여 알루미늄 피라미드 트러스 심재 샌드위치의 열유동 특성을 분석하였다. 규칙적 다공질 금속인 피라미드 트러스 코어를 샌드위치 구조물에 채용할 경우 공기 매질이 자유롭게 유입, 유출될 수 있는 개방형 코어인 점을 고려하여 하중을 지지할 수 있는 구조성능과 함께 방열체로서 다기능성을 구현할 수 있는 구조가 된다. 따라서, 유입되는 공기의 속도변화, 설계변수인 트러스각에 따른 압력강하와 열전달 메카니즘을 확인하기 위해 ANSYS/Fluent를 이용하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. 해석모델에 사용된 샌드위치 패널은 알루미늄으로 이루어져 있으며, 샌드위치 패널의 위 면재와 아래 면재 사이에는 15개의 피라미드 트러스 유닛셀이 반복되고 있다. 폭 방향으로는 무한히 넓은 유닛셀을 모사하기 위해 대칭조건을 지정하였으며, 입구에는 균일한 속도분포를 경계조건으로 입력하였다. 해석결과 입구부와 첫 유닛셀까지의 구간에서 입구영향이 관찰되었으며, 입구영향을 배제하고 마찰계수와 누셀수를 분석하였다. 공기의 속도가 증가할수록 마찰계수는 감소하였으며, 누셀수는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 한편, V=1m/s에서 5m/s에서의 마찰계수와 누셀수 변화가 확연하였으며, 이는 층류에서 난류로 유동패턴이 변하기 때문에 거시적으로 열전도보다 대류열전달의 비중이 커졌기 때문이다. 또한, 설계변수인 트러스각에 대해서는 의미가 있을 정도의 마찰계수와 누셀수의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서, 트러스각이 강도, 강성 등 구조성능에 민감한 점을 감안하면 다기능성을 염두에 둔 알루미늄 피라미드트러스 심재 설계 시 설계변수의 변화는 구조성능에 더 민감할 것으로 판단된다.

드론을 이용한 사진측량은 고해상도의 정사영상을 제작할 수 있고 높은 정확도의 3차원 위치정보를 취득할 수 있어 토목·건설 분야에서의 활용성이 높다. 이에 본 연구에서는 드론사진측량을 이용하여 지형 현황도를 제작하고 제작 시 발생되는 문제점과 정확도를 분석하여 공원 조성에 드론사진측량의 활용 가능성을 판단하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 드론 영상으로 정사영상과 수치표면모델(DSM: Digital Surface Model)을 제작하고 벡터화하여 지형 현황도를 작성하였다. 정확도 분석은 GPS(Global Positioning System)와 TS(Total Station)으로 제작한 지형 현황도를 기준으로 비교하였다. 검사점을 이용한 정확도 분석 결과 잔차의 평균이 평면에서 0.044m, 표고에서 0.066m로 나타나 1/1,000 수치지도 허용오차 범위를 만족하였으며 연구 대상지 내 호수의 면적을 비교한 결과 약 4.4%의 면적의 차이를 보여 지형현황도 작성 가능이 있다고 판단된다. 한편, 지형 현황도 제작 시 식생이 존재하는 지형의 경우 높이 값을 정확하게 취득하기 어려웠으며 지하 구조물 같은 경우 영상에서 확인할 수 없기 때문에 현장에서 직접적인 공간정보 취득이 필요하였다. 따라서, 드론사진측량을 이용한 지형 현황도 작성은 일부 지형에 대하여 직접적인 공간정보 취득이 같이 이루어지면 효율적으로 제작 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The slope of an open cut tunnel is located above the exit of the Leijia tunnel on the Changgan high-speed railway. During the excavation of the open cut tunnel foundation pit, the slope slipped twice, a large landslide of 92500 m³ formed. The landslide body and unstable slope body not only caused the foundation pit of the open cut tunnel to be buried and the anchor piles to be damaged but also directly threatened the operational safety of the later high-speed railway. Therefore, to study the stability change in the slope of the open cut tunnel under heavy rain and excavation conditions, a 3D numerical calculation model of the slope is carried out by Midas GTS software, the deformation mechanism is analyzed, anti-sliding measures are proposed, and the effectiveness of the anti-sliding measures is analyzed according to the field monitoring results. The results show that when rainfall occurs, rainwater collects in the open cut tunnel area, resulting in a transient saturation zone on the slope on the right side of the open cut tunnel, which reduces the shear strength of the slope soil; the excavation at the slope toe reduces the anti-sliding capacity of the slope toe. Under the combined action of excavation and rainfall, when the soil above the top of the anchor pile is excavated, two potential sliding surfaces are bounded by the top of the excavation area, and the shear outlet is located at the top of the anchor pile. After the excavation of the open cut tunnel, the potential sliding surface is mainly concentrated at the lower part of the downhill area, and the shear outlet moves down to the bottom of the open cut tunnel. Based on the deformation characteristics and the failure mechanism of the landslides, comprehensive control measures, including interim emergency mitigation measures and long-term mitigation measures, are proposed. The field monitoring results further verify the accuracy of the anti-sliding mechanism analysis and the effectiveness of anti-sliding measures.

목적 : 유방암의 수술 후 방사선조사 시 폐나 심장 등 정상 증기에 대한 합병증을 줄이고자 흉벽에 대한 전자선 치료 시 조사야 내 전체 흉벽 두께를 균일하도록 보상할 수 있는 개별화된 조직보상체를 제작하였으며, 3차원 입체조형치료계획을 통하여 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 :유방전절제술 후 방사선치료를 받는 10명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다 우측 유방암 환자가 3명, 좌측유방암 환자가 7명이었다. 모든 환자는 조사야를 결정하기 위한 모의치료를 시행한 후 치료계획용 컴퓨터단층촬영을 하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 1 cm$^{2}$ 간격으로 흉벽 두께를 세밀히 측정하였다. 이후 주로 내유방림프절 근방인 가장 두꺼운 흉벽 부위를 기준으로 그 곳의 전방 흉막면에 80% 선량이 조사될 수 있는 방사선에너지를 설정하고, 이 부위를 기준으로 보다 얇은 흉벽을 보상하기 위한 개별화된 조직보상체를 제작하였으며, 제작된 조직보상체를 적용하여 다시 치료계획용 컴퓨터단층촬영을 시행하였다. 이후 각 환자의 영상자료를 이용하여 3차원 치료계획용 프로그램으로 설계하였다. 매 환자에서 조직보상체 적용 전후로 등선량곡선 분포 및 선량체적히스토그램을 비교하였고, 정상조직합병증발생률(normal tissue complication probability, NTCP)의 변화 및 기타 선량통계값도 분석 비교하였다. 결과 : 조직보상체를 적용하였을 때 모든 예에서 처방선량의 80% 등선량곡선의 깊이가 흉벽 두께와 거의 일치하였다. 조직보상체를 사용하지 않았을 때는 90% 이상의 등선량 곡선이 전방 흉막면을 지나 폐 실질 부위에 깊이 걸쳐 있는 경우가 많았으며, 특히 좌측 유방암의 경우에는 심장에도 불필요하게 높은 선량이 조사됨을 관찰할 수 있었다. 선량체적히스토그램을 조직보상체 적용 전후로 동측 폐, 반대측 폐 및 심장에 대하여 각각 비교하였는데 모든 예에서 조직보상체를 사용하였을 때 동측 폐의 선량체적히스토그램이 크게 향상된 소견을 보였으만 심장의 경우 좌측 유방암 환자에서 특히 두드러진 향상을 보였다. 동측 페의 경우 조직보상체를 적용하지 않았을 때 평균NTCP 값이 80.2${\pm}$3.43%이고, 조직보상체를 사용한 경우에는 평균 NTCP 값이 47.7${\pm}$4.61%로 개별화된 조직보상체의 사용으로 24.5~40.5%의 정상조직합병증발생률을 줄일 수 있었다. 동측 폐와 심장에 대해서 평균 선량, V$_{50}$ (처방선량 50% 이상의 선량이 조사되는 체적의 백분율), V$_{95}$ (처방선량 95% 이상의 선량이 조사되는 체적의 백분율), 최대 선량, 최소 선량 등을 구하여 보았을 때 평균 선량, V$_{50}$, V$_{95}$은 조직보상체 적용 전후에 두드러진 변화를 보였으나 최대선량 및 최소 선량값은 별다른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 조직보상체를 적용하였을 때 적용하지 않은 경우에 비해 등선량곡선분포, 선량체적히스토그램, Lymankutcher 모델에 의한 정상조직합병증발생률 및 기타 선량통계값 등 모든 면에 있어서 우월성을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후 이러한 결과가 임상에서 실질적인 합병증 발생률 감소와 잘 연계되는지 계속적인 추적관찰 및 연구가 필요할것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 두 개의 치료빔 가속기가 사용되는 구조에서 종양 위치 추적을 하는 두 쌍의 kV 영상시스템의 기하학적 설계 및 종양 위치 추적 정확도 분석을 목표로 하고 있다. 특히, 병변의 위치추적을 위한 수식 및 알고리즘을 수립하였고, 두 쌍의 kV 영상 시스템이 비직교 위치에 놓일 때 검출기 해상도가 종양 위치 추적 오차에 미치는 영향에 대해서 모의실험으로 분석하여 보았다. 병변의 위치추적을 위한 수식 및 알고리즘을 수립하기 위해서 각 엑스선원, 검출기 등의 절대좌표는 동차방정식을 이용하여 설정하였으며, 삼차원 상의 두 직선의 방정식을 통하여 병변의 절대위치를 찾아내도록 하였다. XCAT 프로그램을 이용한 모의실험을 통해서 영상 검출기의 해상도가 미치는 영향을 두 개의 kV 영상시스템의 각도에 따라서 분석하여보았다. XCAT 소프트웨어를 이용하여서 팬텀에 병변 추적을 위한 금속 기점 마커를 삽입하였고, CT projection 프로그램을 이용하여 각 kV 영상시스템의 각도별, 검출기의 해상도별 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 모의실험 결과, 두 kV영상시스템의 각도가 $90^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$까지는 검출기 해상도가 1.5 mm/pixel보다 고해상도 일 때 약 1 mm 이하의 위치 오차를 보였다. 하지만, 검출기의 해상도가 1.5 mm/pixel 이상으로 나빠질수록 오차가 약 1 mm 이상으로 나타날 뿐만 아니라 각도에 따른 오차의 변동이 컸다. 검출기의 해상도가 개선될 수록 그 각도별 오차의 변동이 줄어들고, $90^{\circ}$에서 가장 적은 오차가 발생 하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 충분한 해상도의 검출기가 사용된다면 듀얼헤드 겐트리 시스템과 같이 공간적으로 제한된 방사선 치료기기에 두 개의 kV 영상시스템을 예각으로 설치하여도 된다는 결론을 도출할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 모의실험 방법론은 병변의 위치, 검출기의 특성, kV 영상 시스템의 기하학적 배치에 따른 종양추적 위치 추적시스템의 정확도를 분석하는 도구로서 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

최근 구조물 기초가 풍화암상에 위치하는 경우가 증가하는 추세로 풍화암상 기초의 적정 설계 지지력을 평가하고자 국내 지반조사서상 제안된 풍화암 기초 허용 지지력을 조사하였다. 조사 결과 몇몇 현장에 제안된 풍화암 허용 지지력은 약 400~700kN/m² 수준으로 그 편차가 큰 편이며 보수적인 값으로 판단되었다. 지반의 기초 허용 지지력은 설계 초기 기초 형식 결정에 중요한 지표로, 그 결정에 따라 공사비 및 공기에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 적정한 풍화암 지반의 허용지지력을 평가하고자 풍화암 지반에 대하여 총 6회의 대형 평판재하시험을 실시하고 지지력 및 침하 특성을 분석하였다. 시험 결과 지지력은 모두 1,500kN/m²이상으로 평가되었으며 기존 지지력 공식과 비교하였을 때 공내재하시험에 의한 지지력 평가식이 본 시험결과와 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 대형 평판재하시험의 하중-침하 거동 역산에 의한 지반의 탄성계수는 공내재하시험의 탄성계수(E) 값 적용이 적절하다고 평가되었다. 본 연구에서의 대형 평판재하시험 결과 및 국내 타 현장에서의 평판재하시험 사례 등을 종합하여 볼 때 풍화암 허용 지지력은 1,000kN/m² 이상으로 평가된다. 그러나 기초 침하량은 기초 크기 증가에 따라 비례하므로 구조물 허용 침하량 기준에 따라 허용 지지력은 제한되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수치해석적 방법으로 기초 크기 및 풍화암 두께에 따른 기초 예상 침하량을 평가하였으며, 풍화암 지반상 기초 허용지지력이 1,000kN/m² 이상일 수 있는 기초 크기 및 지반 조건을 표로 제안하였다. 이는 기초 설계 초기 기초 형식 결정에 유용하다고 사료된다.

In this work, the effects of shade combination, shade height and wind regime on greenhouse climate were quantified. A two-dimensional (2-D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed based on an 11-span plastic greenhouse in eastern China for wind almost normal to the greenhouse orientation. The model was first validated with air temperature profiles measured in a compartmentalized greenhouse cultivated with mature lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., 'Yang Shan'). Next, the model was employed to investigate the effect of shade combinations on greenhouse microclimate patterns. Simulations showed similar airflow patterns in the greenhouse under different shade combinations. The temperature pattern was a consequence of convection and radiation transfer and was not significantly influenced by shade combination. The use of shade screens reduced air velocity by $0.02-0.20m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, lowered air temperature by $0.2-0.8^{\circ}C$ and raised the humidity level by 0.9-2.0% in the greenhouse. Moreover, it improved the interior climate homogeneity. The assessment of shade performance revealed that the external shade had good cooling and homogeneity performance and thus can be recommended. Furthermore, the effects of external shade height and wind regime on greenhouse climate parameters showed that external shade screens are suitable for installation within 1 m above roof level. They also demonstrated that, under external shade conditions, greenhouse temperature was reduced relative to unshaded conditions by $1.3^{\circ}C$ under a wind speed of $0.5m{\cdot}s^{-1}$, whereas it was reduced by merely $0.5^{\circ}C$ under a wind speed of $2.0m{\cdot}s^{-1}$. Therefore, external shading is more useful during periods of low wind speed.

An antibiotic 'P', which is one of the products of the Gist Brocades N. V. is being tested by its research department as fungicide on seed-potatoes. For this testing they designed experiments, with two control groups, one competitor's product, eight formulations of the antibiotic to be tested in different concentrations and one mercury treatment which can not be used in practice. The treated potatoes were planted in three different regions, where bifferent conditions prevail. After several months the harvested potatoes are divided in groups according to their diameter, potato illness is analysed and counted. These data were summarised in percentage and given to us for Analysis. We approached and analysed the data by following methods: a. Computation of the mean and standard deviation of the percenage of good results in each size group and treatment. b. Computation of the experimental errors by substraction of each treatment mean from observed data. c. Description of the frequency table, plotting of a histogram and a normal curve on same graph to check normality. d. Test of normality paper and chi-sqeare test to check the goodness of fit to a normal curve. e. Test for homogeneity of variance in each treatment with the Cochran's test and Hartley's test. f. Analysis of Variance for testing the means by one way classifications. g. Drawing of graphs with upper and lower confidence limits to show the effect of different treatments. h. T-test and F-test to two Control mean and variance for making one control of Dunnett's test. i. Dunnett's Test and calculations for numerical comarision of different treatments wth one control. In region R, where the potatoes were planted, it was this year very dry and rather bad conditions to grow potatoes prevailed during the experimental period. The results of this investigation show us that treatment No.2, 3 and 4 are significantly different from other treatments and control groups (none treated, just like natural state). Treatment no.2 is the useless mercury formulation. So only No. 3 and 4, which have high concentrations of antibiotic 'P', gave a good effect to the potatoes. As well as the competitors product, middle and low concentrated formulations are not significantly different from control gro-ups of every size. In region w, where the potatoes got the same treatments as in region R, prevailed better weather conditions and was enough water obtainable from the lake. The results in this region showed that treatment No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are Significantly different from other treatments and the control groups. Again No.2 is the mercury treatmentin this investigation. Not only high concentrated formulation of antibiotic 'P', but also the competitor's poroduct gave good results. But, the effect of 'P', was better than the competitors porduct. In region G, where the potatoes got the same treatments as in the regions R and w. and the climate conditions were equal to region R, the results showed that most of the treatments are not significantly different from the control groups. Only treatment no. 3 was a little bit different from the others. but not Significantly different. It seems to us that the difference between the results in the three regions was caused by certain conditions like, the nature of the soil the degres of moisture and hours of sunshine, but we are not sure of that. As a conclusion, we can say that antibiotic 'P' has a good effect on potatoes, but in most investigations a rather high concentration of 'P' was required in formulations.

본 연구는 하향 분사식 미니스프링클러의 낙수방지를 위한 새로운 제안으로 패킹부를 구성하여 패킹과 패킹지지부, 패킹 연결지지체의 메카니즘 분석과 구조 해석을 통하여 패킹부 소재 선정의 타당성을 확인하여 하향 분사식 미니스프링클러의 낙수방지 메카니즘을 개발하고, 제품을 제작하여 살수특성 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 낙수방지를 위하여 삽입되는 패킹부의 재료는 구조해석결과, 압력변화에 대응할 수 있는 재질로서 패킹재는 천연고무(ASTM; NR), 패킹지지체는 폴리프로필렌(PP)이 적합함을 확인하였다. 성능시험 결과, 미니스프링클러의 접속관에 용수를 공급할 때와 중단되는 과정의 대기압과 평형상태에서 선정된 패킹 및 패킹지지체는 압력제어 기능을 정확히 수행하여 낙수가 거의 발생하지 않고, 압력변화에도 민감하게 대응함을 확인하였다. 작용압력별 살수특성 성능을 분석한 결과, 유효살수반경, 유효살수면적, 평균살수심, 최대살수심, 유효최대살수심은 작용압력이 증가함에 따라 모두 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 살수높이별 살수특성 성능을 분석한 결과, 유효살수반경과 유효살수면적은 살수 높이가 0.2m일 때 가장 낮은 값을, 0.3m일 때 가장 높은 값을 보였고, 그 이상 살수 높이가 높아지면 반대로 감소하였으며, 평균살수심은 살수높이가 높아질수록 감소하였다. 제안된 하향 분사식 미니스프링클러는 패킹부의 영향으로 압력이 증가함에 따라 살수성능이 유연성 있게 변화하여 급격한 변화를 나타내지 않았고, 용수압력이 감소될 때에는 작용압력이 $1.1kgf/cm^2$이상의 범위에서만 살수되었으며, 그 이하에서는 제안된 패킹부에 의해 하향 분사식 미니스프링클러 본체로 공급되는 용수가 차단되어, 대기압과 평형상태에 있는 물의 자중과 중력작용에 의한 자유낙하를 방지함으로서 물방울의 형성 및 낙수 발생의 예방을 확인하였다.}\;10^4\;cell/ml$이던 것이 3 일 후 $138\;{\times}\;10^4\;cell/ml$였고, 실험종료시인 5 일 후에는 $385\;{\times}\;10^4\;cell/ml$로 증식되어 가장 높은 증식률을 보였다. 참굴 D상 유생을 대상으로 먹이효과를 조사한 결과 실험구와 대조구간 유생의 성장 및 생존율에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다.C$에서 73.3%, $10^{\circ}C$에서 63.3% 및 $5^{\circ}C$에서 56.7%로 수온이 $30^{\circ}C$ 이내에서는 높을수록 높은 경향을 보였다. 염분에 따른 잠입 실험 결과는 실험 개시 300분 경과 후 염분 30 psu에서 93.3%로 가장 높았고, 35 psu에서 90.0%, 25 psu에서 83.3%, 20 psu에서 60.0%, 15 psu 이하에서는 거의 잠입이 이루어 지지 않았다. 따라서, 적정 살포를 위한 잠입률은 치패의 크기와 상관없이 저질종류는 모래 (75%) + 뻘 (25%), 입자크기는 1 mm 모래에서 높게 나타났다. 공기 중 노출시간은 짧을수록, 수온은 $30^{\circ}C$ 이내에서 높을수록, 염분은 20-35 psu 이내에서 높을수록 잠입률이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 교수학습모형에 관련된 지식을 묻는 내용으로 주로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 특정 교수학습모형의 이론적 토대가 되고 전체적인 교수설계를 하기 위한 기본 바탕이 될 수 있는 교수학습이론에 관한 내용, 또한 현재가정과교육에 있어서 유용한 교수학습법이라고 입증되고 있는 실천적 추론 가정과 수업에 관한 내용으로의 확대를 제안하였다. 가정과교육평가 문항의 출제는 대다수의 문항이 수행평가에 관한 문항내용으로

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec.
