본 논문에서는 누설전력 소비뿐만 아니라 스위칭 전력 소비를 동시에 줄일 수 있는 새로운 저전력 SRAM 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 저전력 SRAM은 대기모드와 쓰기동작에서는 셀의 소스라인 전압을 $V_{SSH}$로 증가시키고 읽기동작에서만 소스라인 전압을 다시 $V_{SS}$가 되도록 동적으로 조절한다. SRAM 셀의 소스라인 전압을 동적으로 조절하면 reverse body-bias 효과, DIBL 효과, 음의 $V_{GS}$ 효과를 이용하여 셀 어레이의 누설전류를 1/100 까지 감소시킬 수 있다. 또한 누설전류를 억제하기 위해 사용된 소스라인 드라이버를 이용하여 SRAM의 쓰기동작에서 비트라인 전압의 스윙 폭을 $V_{DD}-to-V_{SSH}$로 감소시킴으로써 SRAM의 write power를 대폭 감소시킬 수 있고 쓰기동작 중에 있는 셀들의 누설 전류 소비도 동시에 줄일 수 있다. 이를 위해 새로운 write driver를 사용하여 low-swing 쓰기동작 시 성능 감소를 최소화하였다. 누설전력 소비 감소 기법과 스위칭 전력 소비 감소 기법을 동시에 사용함으로써 제안된 SRAM은 특히 미래의 큰 누설전류가 예상되는 70-nm 이하 급 초미세 공정에서 유용할 것으로 예측된다. 70-nm 공정 파라미터를 이용해서 시뮬레이션한 결과 누설전력 소비의 93%와 스위칭 전력 소비의 43%를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 본 논문에서 제안된 저전력 SRAM의 유용성과 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서 $0.35-{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정에서 32x128 bit SRAM이 제작 및 측정되었다. 측정 결과 기존의 SRAM에 비해 스위칭 전력이 30% 적게 소비됨을 확인하였고 사용된 메탈 차폐 레이어로 인해서 $V_{DD}-to-V_{SSH}$ 전압이 약 1.1V 일 때까지 오류 없이 동작함을 관측하였다. 본 논문의 SRAM 스위칭 전력감소는 I/O의 bit width가 증가하면 더욱 더 중요해질 것으로 예상할 수 있다.

아라키돈산의 필요성에 대한 인식이 점차 증가하면서 생산가능한 균주로서 독성을 보이지 않는 Mortierella alpina를 이용할 때 오는 효과를 알아보기 위하여 곰팡이의 추출유와 곰팡이 자체의 섭취로서 arachidonic acid를 섭취토록 하여 생육과 뇌발달 및 학습에 미치는 효과를 비교하고자 하였다. 대조군으로서 우지를 섭취시킨 쥐와 비교할 때 식이군별 암컷의 체중변화에서는 비교적 체중이 증가되지 않은 군은 Mortierella alpina섭취군으로 나타났으며 새끼를 젖뗀 후 심하였지만 개체 차이가 심하여 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 분만 직후의 체중증가는 수유동안 감소가 일어나 이유시기에는 체중 감소가 각군 모두에서 일어났다. 새끼에서는 이유전까지는 체중증가에 어미의 식이군에 따른 차이가 전혀 보이지 않았으나 이유 후 식이섭취 동안 군별 차이가 있어 특히 적은 양을 섭취한 Mortierella alpina 섭취군(LF)에서 체중이 가장 적었다. 섭취량자체도 적었고 증체량도 적었기에 이에 대한 식이 효율에서는 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다. 어미와 새끼의 미로실험에서 어미의 경우는 식이별 통계적 유의성을 볼 수 없었으며 또한 2차에 걸친 시기에서도 학습효과를 볼 수 없었다. 그러나, 이유가 새끼의 미로 측정 결과를 보면, 통제군에 비하여 고추출유섭취군(HO)에서 실수의 빈도가 감소하였고 backing error빈도는 다른 군보다 낮았다고 볼 수 있어 긴사슬 지방산의 효과를 일부 추정할 수 있었다. 그러나 성숙기인 7주령에 시행한 미로실험 에서는 유의적 인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이는 뇌의 성장에 이유기까지의 중요성을 확인할 수 있는 좋은 결과로 보며, 지방급원으로서 곰팡이 자체의 섭취군에서는 통계적 유의차를 나타내지 않아 불포화지방산의 효과를 추정하기 어려우며 곰팡이의 체내 소화작용이나 식이섭취에 다른요인이 있을 것으로 생각할 수 있었다. 어미와 새끼의 DNA함량을 비교하면 Mortierella alpina 섭취군의 체중 증가의 지연에서 보듯이 뇌의 성장에서도 지연됨(무게감소)과 함께 DNA함량에서도 적게 나타났으나 어미의 경우, 간과 뇌의 DNA함량에 식이군간의 유의차가 없었다. 그러나 이유기 새끼의 뇌의 DNA함량은 Mortierella alpina 섭취군이 가장 적었고 간의 DNA 함량은 차이가 없었다. 새끼의 성숙기에는 식이군 간 차이가 있어 뇌의 DNA함량은 여전히 적었으나 간의 DNA함량에서는 체중 g당 환산할 때 Mortierella alpina를 적게 섭취한 군(LF)이 더 많아서 신체에서 간이 더 커진 모습을 보였다 아라키돈산의 섭취가 특히 어린시기의 뇌발달에 필요함을 인식할 때, 아라키돈산의 급원으로서 식이에 일정비율 공급할 필요에 맞추어 다량 생산할 수 있는 기반이 Mortieralla alpina 곰팡이를 이용함으로서 가능한 것으로 볼 수 있었다. 곰팡이의 배양과 기름의 추출과정을 통하여 생산된 기름의 섭취에서 생육에 문제를 보이지 않았으며 다량의 함유 아라키돈산의 효과를 미로를 이용한 실험에서 확인되었다. 고도의 불포화지방산을 함유하기에 산화과정을 우려하여 곰팡이 자체를 섭취시켜 본 결과 성장이 느리게 진행되는 것으로 나타났기에 이는 진균류의 세포막을 분리하여 내부에 포함된 지방을 이용하기에는 어려움이 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 아라키돈산의 가격이 워낙 비싸기에 쉽게 이용할 수 있는 Mortierella alpina를 이용한 추출유로 충분한 식품첨가 가능성을 보여 주었다고 보지만 기타 미량 성분에 대한 추적이 요구되며 모든 공정에서 문제를 발견하지 못할 때 식품산업에 응용할 수 있을 것이다.

전자탐사에서 Born 근사는 이상체내에서의 전기장을 이상체가 없는 균질 매질에서의 일차장으로 대치하는 방법으로 복잡한 전자기 산란(EM scattering)문제를 근사하는데 널리 사용되고 있는 방법이다. 그러나 Born 근사는 이상체의 전도도가 주변 매질에 비하여 너무 크거나, 이상체의 크기가 클 때는 상당히 부정확한 결과를 나타낸다. 확장된 Born근사법은 이러한 Born근사의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안된 방법으로 이상체내의 전기장을 탈분극 텐서와 일차 전기장의 곱으로 근사하는 방법이다. 한편 전자탐사에 3차원 송신원을 사용하는 2차원 모델링은 주로 유한차분법과 유한요소법이 이용되었다. 일반적으로 이들 미분 방정식을 이용하는 2차원 전자탐사 모델링에서 3차원 송신원 문제의 해결을 위하여 Fourier변환을 통해 파수영역(wavenumber domain)으로 이동하는 방법이 사용되어 왔다. 또한 파수영 역에서 계산된 결과는 Fourier 역변환을 통하여 다시 공간영역(space domain)으로 이동해야 하는 번거로움이 있다. 따라서 이들 방법은 계산시간이 많이 걸리고 이상체가 없는 지역도 미소체로 분할해야 하므로 수치계산시 대량의 기억용량이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 Born근사의 문제점 및 전자탐사 2차원 모델링시 3차원 송신원 문제를 해결할 수 있는 확장된 Born 근사법에 근거한 전자탐사 2.5차원 모델링 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이 모델링 프로그램을 이용하여 수직 자기 쌍극자를 송신원으로 하는 시추공간 전자탐사법에 대한 2차 자기 장을 계산하고 적분 방정식에 의한 3차원 모델링 결과와 비교, 분석하였다. 모든 주파수 대역에서 확장된 Born근사에 의한 2.5차원 모델링 결과가 3차원 모델링 결과와 잘 일치하고 있다. 그러나 이상체의 전도도와 모암의 전도도 차이가 10배 이상의 경우일 때는 두 반응은 상당한 차이를 보인다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 확장된 Born 근사에 의한 2.5차원 모델링은 이상체와 모암의 전도도 차이가 너무 크지 않을 경우 이상체의 위치 및 형상을 파악하는데 효과적일 것으로 기대된다.

예술을 한마디로 정의하거나 그 범위를 특정하기란 어렵지만, 일반적으로 예술이란 어떤 특정한 대상이나 환경, 경험과 기억을 작품 활동을 통해 창조적으로 표현한 미적 산물의 총칭이라 할 수 있다. 이 글에서는 작품의 대상을 풍경, 풍경 중에서도 외면과 혐오의 대상으로 여겨지는 무연고 묘지로 하였으며, 무연고 묘지가 된 역사적 배경과 사실을 매체를 통해, 또 그 묘지를 돌보는 사람들의 전언을 통해 확실히 인지한 후 작품을 형상화하였다. 본 작품은 무연고 묘지와 무연고 묘지를 돌보며 삶을 살아가는 사람들이 만들어낸 '풍경'을 작품 속에 담아냈다. 작품은 사회적 산물로서 사회로부터 동기부여를 받기 때문에, 작가는 시대적 사회상을 객관적이고 냉철하게 판단하여 밝은 것 이면에 있는 어두운 것이나 어두운 것 이면에 있는 밝은 것을 찾아내 작품으로 승화시킴으로써, 더 나은 세계를 추구해야 한다. 이러한 취지에서 본 논자의 작품 2013년 <조화(弔花, 造花, 調和)>, 2015년 <풍경의 가장자리>, 2017년~2018년 <풍경이 된 몸>과 <기억하는 풍경>은 묘원에 있는 조화(弔花), 오랫동안 찾지 않은 무덤, 버려진 무연고 무덤이 있는 풍경을 소재로 하였다. 예술가들은 자신이 의도한 생각을 작품에 반영하여 관객과 소통을 원한다. 더 나아가 창작의 성격과 목적이 명확하다면 관람객들의 작품에 대한 이해도를 극대화할 수 있다. 본 논자는 지금까지 창작한 작품 중 대순사상과 관련지어 해석할 수 있는 것들을 소개함으로써 작품의 의미를 더하려고 했다. 따라서 이 글은 작품의 대순사상적 해석에 대한 하나의 시도라고 해도 좋을 것이다. 대순사상과의 연관성을 살펴보기 위해서는 작품 해설이 우선해야 할 것이다. 작품 <풍경이 된 몸>의 소재로 전남 나주, 대구, 경기도 안성에 있는 무연고 묘지, 작품 <기억하는 풍경>의 소재로 경기도 안산에 있는 선감학원과 제주도 4·3 사건의 무연고 묘지를 다루었다. 특히 <기억하는 풍경> 작품 중의 하나로 제주 4·3 사건을 배경으로 한 작품에는 <백비_기억하는 풍경>이라는 부제를 달았다. 그리고 작품의 대순사상적 해석을 위해 작품 <풍경이 된 몸> 중 나주 무연고 묘지에 대한 것은 음양합덕(陰陽合德)에, 안성 무연고 묘지에 관한 것은 성·경·신(誠敬信)에, 대구 사형수 무연고 묘지와 <기억하는 풍경> 작품인 안산 선감학원의 무연고 묘지와 제주도 4·3 사건 백비(白碑)에 관한 것은 해원상생(解冤相生)에 적용시켜 대순사상적 관점에서 해석해 보았다.

本文研究共同特性对于无选择权的影响, 并涉及到了调节焦点理论. 本文主要着眼于这三个因子以及他们之间的关系. 之前的研究已经广泛涉及到这三个方面. 第一, 共同特性影响已经被广为研究. Tversky (1972) 开创了这个理论, EBA 模型: 通过消除方面. 根据这个理论, 消费者在比较的过程中更易于注意特殊的特性, 而忽略共同特性. 最近, 更多的研究开始针对于此模型对于消费者行为的影响. Chernev (1997) 认为增加共同特性可以减少选择距离. 但是, 随后Chernev (2001) 的研究指出共同特性可能是消费者认知上的负担, 所以他们更喜欢启发式的过程而不是系统式的过程. 这些研究提出了一系列问题: 共同特性是否影响顾客选择? 如果是的话, 这些影响是什么样子的? 第二, 一些研究指出没有选择的状况是消费者最好的选择, 他们在犹豫不决时用这种方法回避选择. 其他关于这一理论的研究是时间的压力, 消费者自信, 以及可供选择的数量. 第三, 调节聚焦理论在目前非常流行. 消费者有两个焦点目标: 促进和制止. 促进聚焦主要和希望, 野心, 成功, 获得等有关; 而制止聚焦和责任, 职责, 安全, 规避等有关. 调节聚焦理论预测了顾客的感情, 创造, 态度, 记忆, 表现, 和判断. 而这些都是市场营销研究的领域这些文献为本文的研究提供了一些理论支持. 特别是增加共同特征而不是忽略他们可以增加选择过程中克制消费者的没有选择状况的比重, 其对于促进消费者的作用确实相反的. 本文通过两个试验进行验证. 第一个是2 X 2 组间的设计(共同特性X调节聚焦), 数码相机作为相关的客体. 特别的是, 调节聚焦变量是从11个问题中取得的. 共同特性包括焦距, 重量, 记忆卡, 电池, 而像素和价格作为独特特性. 结果证明了我们的假设, 那就是增加共同特性增加了克制消费者的无选择比重, 而对促进消费者没有作用. 第二个试验被用来复制第一个实验的结果. 这个实验和之前的基本相同, 只有两个方面不同—主要控制和研究客体. 在促进的前提下, 研究对象必须一些词例如: 利润, 野心, 高兴, 成功, 发展等. 在克制的前提下, 他们必学写下坚持, 安全, 保护, 规避, 损失, 责任等词. 实验证明我们假设是成立的. 本研究说明了共同特性对于顾客选择的二重效果. 增加共同特性可以提高或者降低无选择状况. 本文对于理论研究和实践上都有着贡献. 对于市场营销人员来说, 他们可能需要根据顾客的划分来考虑产品的共同特性. 理论上, 研究结果支持共同特性和无选择状况的调节变量. 最后, 本文也有一些不足, 例如过于强调态度的重要性等. 我们希望本文能够为未来的研究做出抛砖引玉的作用.

스마트폰이 널리 보급되고 현대인들의 생활 속에 깊이 자리 잡으면서, 스마트폰에서 수집된 다종 데이터를 바탕으로 사용자 개인의 행동을 인식하고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 타인과의 상호작용 행동 인식에 대한 연구는 아직까지 상대적으로 미진하였다. 기존 상호작용 행동 인식 연구에서는 오디오, 블루투스, 와이파이 등의 데이터를 사용하였으나, 이들은 사용자 사생활 침해 가능성이 높으며 단시간 내에 충분한 양의 데이터를 수집하기 어렵다는 한계가 있다. 반면 가속도, 자기장, 자이로스코프 등의 물리 센서의 경우 사생활 침해 가능성이 낮으며 단시간 내에 충분한 양의 데이터를 수집할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점에 주목하여, 스마트폰 상의 다종 물리 센서 데이터만을 활용, 딥러닝 모델에 기반을 둔 사용자의 동행 상태 인식 방법론을 제안한다. 사용자의 동행 여부 및 대화 여부를 분류하는 동행 상태 분류 모델은 컨볼루션 신경망과 장단기 기억 순환 신경망이 혼합된 구조를 지닌다. 먼저 스마트폰의 다종 물리 센서에서 수집한 데이터에 존재하는 타임 스태프의 차이를 상쇄하고, 정규화를 수행하여 시간에 따른 시퀀스 데이터 형태로 변환함으로써 동행 상태분류 모델의 입력 데이터를 생성한다. 이는 컨볼루션 신경망에 입력되며, 데이터의 시간적 국부 의존성이 반영된 요인 지도를 출력한다. 장단기 기억 순환 신경망은 요인 지도를 입력받아 시간에 따른 순차적 연관 관계를 학습하며, 동행 상태 분류를 위한 요인을 추출하고 소프트맥스 분류기에서 이에 기반한 최종적인 분류를 수행한다. 자체 제작한 스마트폰 애플리케이션을 배포하여 실험 데이터를 수집하였으며, 이를 활용하여 제안한 방법론을 평가하였다. 최적의 파라미터를 설정하여 동행 상태 분류 모델을 학습하고 평가한 결과, 동행 여부와 대화 여부를 각각 98.74%, 98.83%의 높은 정확도로 분류하였다.

The notion of information systems (IS) continuance has recently emerged as one of the most important research issues in the field of IS. A great deal of research has been conducted thus far on the basis of theories adapted from various disciplines including consumer behaviors and social psychology, in addition to theories regarding information technology (IT) acceptance. This previous body of knowledge provides a robust research framework that can already account for the determination of IS continuance; however, this research points to other, thus-far-unelucidated determinant factors such as habit, which were not included in traditional IT acceptance frameworks, and also re-emphasizes the importance of emotion-related constructs such as satisfaction in addition to conscious intention with rational beliefs such as usefulness. Experiences should also be considered one of the most important factors determining the characteristics of information system (IS) continuance and the features distinct from those determining IS acceptance, because more experienced users may have more opportunities for IS use, which would allow them more frequent use than would be available to less experienced or non-experienced users. Interestingly, experience has dual features that may contradictorily influence IS use. On one hand, attitudes predicated on direct experience have been shown to predict behavior better than attitudes from indirect experience or without experience; as more information is available, direct experience may render IS use a more salient behavior, and may also make IS use more accessible via memory. Therefore, experience may serve to intensify the relationship between IS use and conscious intention with evaluations, On the other hand, experience may culminate in the formation of habits: greater experience may also imply more frequent performance of the behavior, which may lead to the formation of habits, Hence, like experience, users' activation of an IS may be more dependent on habit-that is, unconscious automatic use without deliberation regarding the IS-and less dependent on conscious intentions, Furthermore, experiences can provide basic information necessary for satisfaction with the use of a specific IS, thus spurring the formation of both conscious intentions and unconscious habits, Whereas IT adoption Is a one-time decision, IS continuance may be a series of users' decisions and evaluations based on satisfaction with IS use. Moreover. habits also cannot be formed without satisfaction, even when a behavior is carried out repeatedly. Thus, experiences also play a critical role in satisfaction, as satisfaction is the consequence of direct experiences of actual behaviors. In particular, emotional experiences such as enjoyment can become as influential on IS use as are utilitarian experiences such as usefulness; this is especially true in light of the modern increase in membership-based hedonic systems - including online games, web-based social network services (SNS), blogs, and portals-all of which attempt to provide users with self-fulfilling value. Therefore, in order to understand more clearly the role of experiences in IS continuance, analysis must be conducted under a research framework that includes intentions, habits, and satisfaction, as experience may not only have duration-based moderating effects on the relationship between both intention and habit and the activation of IS use, but may also have content-based positive effects on satisfaction. This is consistent with the basic assumptions regarding the determining factors in IS continuance as suggested by Oritz de Guinea and Markus: consciousness, emotion, and habit. The principal objective of this study was to explore and assess the effects of experiences in IS continuance, with special consideration given to conscious intentions and unconscious habits, as well as satisfaction. IN service of this goal, along with a review of the relevant literature regarding the effects of experiences and habit on continuous IS use, this study suggested a research model that represents the roles of experience: its moderating role in the relationships of IS continuance with both conscious intention and unconscious habit, and its antecedent role in the development of satisfaction. For the validation of this research model. Korean university student users of 'Cyworld', one of the most influential social network services in South Korea, were surveyed, and the data were analyzed via partial least square (PLS) analysis to assess the implications of this study. In result most hypotheses in our research model were statistically supported with the exception of one. Although one hypothesis was not supported, the study's findings provide us with some important implications. First the role of experience in IS continuance differs from its role in IS acceptance. Second, the use of IS was explained by the dynamic balance between habit and intention. Third, the importance of satisfaction was confirmed from the perspective of IS continuance with experience.

The purpose of this study is to examine the possibility of thermal injury to bone tissues during an implant site preparation under the same condition as a typical clinical practice of $Br{\aa}nemark$ implant system. All the burs for $Br{\aa}nemark$ implant system were studied except the round bur The experiments involved 880 drilling cases : 50 cases for each of the 5 steps of NP, 5 steps of RP, and 7 steps of WP, all including srew tap, and 30 cases of 2mm twist drill. For precision drilling, a precision handpiece restraining system was developed (Eungyong Machinery Co., Korea). The system kept the drill parallel to the drilling path and allowed horizontal adjustment of the drill with as little as $1{\mu}m$ increment. The thermocouple insertion hole. that is 0.9mm in diameter and 8mm in depth, was prepared 0.2mm away from the tapping bur the last drilling step. The temperatures due to countersink, pilot drill, and other drills were measured at the surface of the bone, at the depths of 4mm and 8mm respectively. Countersink drilling temperature was measured by attaching the tip of a thermocouple at the rim of the countersink. To assure temperature measurement at the desired depths, 'bent-thermocouples' with their tips of 4 and 8mm bent at $120^{\circ}$ were used. The profiles of temperature variation were recorded continuously at one second interval using a thermometer with memory function (Fluke Co. U.S.A.) and 0.7mm thermocouples (Omega Co., U.S.A.). To simulate typical clinical conditions, 35mm square samples of bovine scapular bone were utilized. The samples were approximately 20mm thick with the cortical thickness on the drilling side ranging from 1 to 2mm. A sample was placed in a container of saline solution so that its lower half is submerged into the solution and the upper half exposed to the room air, which averaged $24.9^{\circ}C$. The temperature of the saline solution was maintained at $36.5^{\circ}C$ using an electric heater (J. O Tech Co., Korea). This experimental condition was similar to that of a patient s opened mouth. The study revealed that a 2mm twist drill required greatest attention. As a guide drill, a twist drill is required to bore through a 'virgin bone,' rather than merely enlarging an already drilled hole as is the case with other drills. This typically generates greater amount of heat. Furthermore, one tends to apply a greater pressure to overcome drilling difficulty, thus producing even greater amount heat. 150 experiments were conducted for 2mm twist drill. For 140 cases, drill pressure of 750g was sufficient, and 10 cases required additional 500 or 100g of drilling pressure. In case of the former. 3 of the 140 cases produced the temperature greater than $47^{\circ}C$, the threshold temperature of degeneration of bone tissue (1983. Eriksson et al.) which is also the reference temperature in this study. In each of the 10 cases requiring extra pressure, the temperature exceeded the reference temperature. More significantly, a surge of heat was observed in each of these cases This observations led to addtional 20 drilling experiments on dense bones. For 10 of these cases, the pressure of 1,250g was applied. For the other 10, 1.750g were applied. In each of these cases, it was also observed that the temperature rose abruptly far above the thresh old temperature of $47^{\circ}C$, sometimes even to 70 or $80^{\circ}C$. It was also observed that the increased drilling pressure influenced the shortening of drilling time more than the rise of drilling temperature. This suggests the desirability of clinically reconsidering application of extra pressures to prevent possible injury to bone tissues. An analysis of these two extra pressure groups of 1,250g and 1,750g revealed that the t-statistics for reduced amount of drilling time due to extra pressure and increased peak temperature due to the same were 10.80 and 2.08 respectively suggesting that drilling time was more influenced than temperature. All the subsequent drillings after the drilling with a 2mm twist drill did not produce excessive heat, i.e. the heat generation is at the same or below the body temperature level. Some of screw tap, pilot, and countersink showed negative correlation coefficients between the generated heat and the drilling time. indicating the more the drilling time, the lower the temperature. The study also revealed that the drilling time was increased as a function of frequency of the use of the drill. Under the drilling pressure of 750g, it was revealed that the drilling time for an old twist drill that has already drilled 40 times was 4.5 times longer than a new drill The measurement was taken for the first 10 drillings of a new drill and 10 drillings of an old drill that has already been used for 40 drillings. 'Test Statistics' of small samples t-test was 3.49, confirming that the used twist drills require longer drilling time than new ones. On the other hand, it was revealed that there was no significant difference in drilling temperature between the new drill and the old twist drill. Finally, the following conclusions were reached from this study : 1 Used drilling bur causes almost no change in drilling temperature but increase in drilling time through 50 drillings under the manufacturer-recommended cooling conditions and the drilling pressure of 750g. 2. The heat that is generated through drilling mattered only in the case of 2mm twist drills, the first drill to be used in bone drilling process for all the other drills there is no significant problem. 3. If the drilling pressure is increased when a 2mm twist drill reaches a dense bone, the temperature rises abruptly even under the manufacturer-recommended cooling conditions. 4. Drilling heat was the highest at the final moment of the drilling process.

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.

Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. 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. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring.
