  • 본 연구의 목적은 MDCT의 다양한 매개변수와 재구성 조건을 반영하고 z축과 x/y plane의 분해능을 동시에 평가할 수 있는 새로운 팬텀과 평가 방법을 정립하고 유용성을 파악하고자 한다. CT 장비는 Aquilion ONE(Cannon Medical System, Otawara, Japan)을 사용하였으며, 관전압 120 kV에 관전류는 260 mA, 그리고 재구성 영상은 D-FOV 300 mm2로 동일하게 설정하였다. 자체 제작한 SSP 측정 팬텀을 이용하여 고대조도 분해능과 절편두께 분해능을 평가하였다. 이때 갠트리 등각점부터의 거리와 재구성 알고리즘을 변화시켰다. 절편두께는 0.6 mm에서 10.0 mm까지 5단계로 재구성하였다. 영상의 분석은 Aquarius iNtuition Edition ver. 4.4.13.P6 software (Terarecon, California, USA)의 Profile tool을 이용하여 FWHM과 FWTM을 측정하였으며, ImageJ program(v1.53n, National Institutes of Health, USA)의 Plot profile tool을 사용하여 SPQI와 신호강도를 평가하였다. x/y plane의 고대조도 분해능을 평가한 결과, 갠트리 등각점에서 거리가 멀어질수록 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 mm의 절편두께에서 각각 4.09~11.99%, 4.12~35.52%, 4.70~37.64% 감소되었으며, 공칭 절편두께가 두꺼워질수록 감소폭이 증가되었다. 그리고 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 mm의 절편두께에서 High 알고리즘을 적용하면 고대조도 분해능이 각각 74.83, 15.18, 81.25% 증가되었다. x/y plane 및 z축의 절편두께 분해능을 평가한 결과, SSP 곡선에서 FWHM은 거의 일정하지만 사용자가 설정한 공칭 절편두께보다 모두 높게 측정되었다. 갠트리 등각점부터 거리가 멀어질수록 절편두께의 분해능이 감소되었다. 축방향 스캔이 나선형 방법보다 z축 FWHM과 FWTM이 더 증가되었다. 특히, 절편두께가 얇을수록 공칭 절편두께와 오차 범위가 증가되었다. 그리고 SPQI는 절편두께가 커질수록 증가되었으며 나선형 스캔이 축방향 스캔보다 90%에 가까워졌다. MDCT 장치의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 SSP 팬텀을 개발하여 x/y plane과 z축의 분해능을 비교 평가함으로서 노후 장비 관리와 화질 평가의 구체적인 방법으로 활용될 수 있으며, 진단 영상 분야에서 병변 감별에 큰 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

  • 본 연구는 국가산림자원조사 자료를 활용하여 우리나라 혼효림에 대한 산림 입지조건을 탐색하고 임분의 생장 및 수확량을 추정하기 위하여 수행되었다. 혼효림의 생장은 흉고직경, 수고, 흉고단면적을 변수로 하는 Chapman-Richards 모델을 적용하여 식을 도출하였으며, 수확량은 흉고단면적, 지위지수, 임령, 입목밀도 등의 인자를 단계적회귀분석 적용으로 회귀식을 도출하였다. 국내 혼효림은 다양한 입지에 생육하고 있었는데, 기후대별로는 온대중부권역에 과반수 이상이 분포하고 있었으며, 해발고별로는 101~400 m 지역에 약 62%가 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 임령을 설명변수로 하는 혼효림 생장모형의 적합도(FI)는 흉고직경 0.32, 수고 0.22, 흉고단면적 0.18로 도출되어, 다소 낮은 적합도 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 추정식의 실측치와 추정치 간의 관계 그래프 및 잔차 등을 고려할 때, 임령을 설명변수로 이용하는 추정모형의 사용은 특별한 문제가 없을 것으로 판단되었다. 혼효림의 수확모형은 여러 생장인자 중 흉고단면적(BA), 지위지수(SI), 임령(Age)이 단계적으로 투입되는 회귀식 Stand volume =-162.6859+6.3434 ∙ BA+9.9214 ∙ SI+0.7271 ∙ Age이 도출되었으며, 식의 설명력 (R2)은 약 96% 였다. 앞서 도출된 최적의 생장 및 수확모형을 이용하여 임시 임분수확표가 만들어 졌다. 또한 임시 임분수확표 자료를 활용하여 혼효림의 재적수확최대벌기령을 도출하였다.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 초등 과학영재들의 논증활동에서 활용되는 증거들의 전개 양상과 수준을 Perella's Hierarchy of Evidence를 바탕으로 분석하는 것이다. 연구를 위하여 K대학 부설 과학영재교육원 초등과학 영재반 (5학년 5명, 6학년 10명) 15명을 연구 대상으로 선정하였으며 논증과제를 2주전 미리 부여한 뒤, 논증과제에 대한 찬성 또는 반대의 입장을 학생들이 각자 자유롭게 선택하여 총 2시간 동안 논증활동을 하였다. 연구자는 논증과정을 관찰하고 촬영, 녹음한 뒤 전 과정을 전사하여 분석하였다. 전사한 자료를 발화순서에 따라 Protocol Number를 부여한 뒤, 찬성팀과 반대팀이 논증활동을 전개하는 흐름을 파악하고 그 과정에서 나타나는 특징을 살펴보았다. 그리고 주장이나 반론, 답변 등에 사용되는 증거를 Perella's Hierarchy of Evidence 에 따라 Level 1부터 Level 6까지 등급화하여 각 수준별 빈도수를 구하였다. 이 연구 결과를 통하여 초등 과학영재들은 전체적으로 주장-반론-재반론의 순서가 반복되는 논증활동을 하며 사용된 50%이상의 증거가 Level 1과 Level 2였으며 Level 4 이상의 높은 수준의 증거는 20% 내외인 것을 알 수 있었다. 초등과학영재들은 논증과제에 대한 찬성, 반대 입장에 관계없이 통계 자료나 연구결과와 같이 신뢰할 수 있는 객관적 증거들을 사용하기 보다는 개인의 생각이나 경험, 타인의 경험, 개인의 추측 등 출처와 진위 여부를 확인할 수 없는 낮은 수준의 증거를 사용하여 약한 논증을 하고 있었다. 반면에, 상대방의 주장에 따르는 증거가 신뢰할 수 없거나 납득하기에 부족할 때에는 증거가 부족함을 지적하면서 상대방의 주장을 반박하는 상반되는 모습을 보이기도 하였다. 그리고 상대방이 상황이나 용어에 대한 인식이 부족하여 질문을 하거나 구체적 설명 또는 주장에 따르는 증거 제시를 요청할 경우, 답변을 하기도 하지만 답변이 어렵거나 증거가 부족하면 요청을 무시하고 새로운 화제로 급전환하였다. 또한 논증활동 중에 상대방이 자신의 주장에 대해 실험 연구 결과와 같은 높은 수준의 증거를 제시하며 반론할 경우, 수용하거나 재반론하기 보다는 자신의 주장을 반복하여 진술하거나 갑자기 다른 주장으로 돌려 회피하려 하였으며 논증활동 중에 주장의 일치에 도달하지 못하고 계속적으로 대립될 경우, 수 초간 침묵이 흐르다가 의견이 합의되지 않은 채 다른 화제로 전환하는 경향이 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과로부터 초등 과학영재들이 보다 높은 수준의 증거를 사용하여 강한 논증을 할 수 있도록 논증과정을 활용한 교수 프로그램 및 교사 인식 재고를 위한 교사 교육 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있다.

  • 소셜 네트워크는 사용자들의 공통된 관심사, 경험, 그리고 일상 생활들을 함께 공유하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 상 사람들을 서로 연결시켜주는 거대한 커뮤니케이션 플랫폼이다. 소셜 네트워크상의 사용자들은 포스팅, 댓글, 인스턴스 메시지, 게임, 소셜 이벤트 외에도 다양한 애플리케이션을 통해 다른 사용자들과 소통하고 개인 정보 관리하는데 많은 시간을 소비한다. 소셜 네트워크 상의 풍부한 사용자 정보는 추천시스템이 추천 성능을 향상시키기 위해 필요한 큰 잠재력이 되었다. 대부분의 사용자들은 어떤 상품을 구매하기 전 가까운 관계이거나 같은 성향을 가진 사람들의 의견을 반영하여 의사 결정을 하게 된다. 그러므로 소셜 네트워크에서의 사용자 관계는 추천시스템을 위한 사용자 선호도 예측을 효율적으로 높이는데 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 일부 연구자들은 소셜 네트워크에서의 사용자와 다른 사용자들 사이의 상호작용 즉, 소셜 관계(social relationship)와 같은 소셜 데이터가 추천시스템에서 추천의 질에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 연구하고 있다. 추천시스템은 아마존, 이베이, Last.fm과 같은 큰 규모의 전자상거래 사이트 또한 채택하여 사용되는 시스템으로, 추천시스템을 위한 방법으로는 협업적 여과 방법과 내용 기반 여과 방법이 있다. 협업적 여과 방법은 사용자들의 선호도 학습에 의해 사용자가 아직 평가하지 않은 아이템 중 선호할 수 있는 아이템을 정확하게 제안하기 위한 추천시스템 방법 중 하나이다. 협업적 여과는 사용자들의 데이터에 초점을 맞춘 방법으로 유사한 배경과 선호도를 가지는 사용자들로부터 정보를 수집하여 사용자들의 선호도 예측을 자동으로 발생시킨다. 특히 협업적 여과는 근접한 이웃 사용자들에 의해서 목적 사용자가 선호할 수 있는 아이템을 제시하는 것으로 유사한 이웃 사용자를 찾는 것이 중요하다. 좋은 이웃 사용자 발견은 사용자와 아이템을 고려하는 방법이 일반적이다. 각 사용자는 아이템 즉, 영화, 상품, 책 등에 자신의 선호도를 나타내기 위하여 평가 값을 입력하고, 시스템은 이를 바탕으로 사용자-평가 행렬을 구축한다. 이 사용자-평가 행렬은 목적 사용자와 유사하게 아이템을 평가한 사용자 그룹을 찾기 위한 것으로, 목적 사용자가 아직 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대하여 사용자-평가 매트릭스를 통해 그 평가 값을 예측한다. 현재 이 협업적 여과 방법은 전자상거래와 정보 검색에서 적용되어 개인화 시스템에 효율적으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 초기 사용자 문제, 데이터 희박성 문제와 확장성 그리고 예측 정확도 향상 등 해결해야 할 과제가 여전히 남아 있다. 이러한 문제들을 해소하기 위해 많은 연구자들은 하이브리드, 신뢰기반, 소셜 네트워크 기반 협업적 여과와 같은 다양한 방법을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 전통적인 협업적 여과 방식의 예측 정확도와 추천 성능을 향상시키기 위해 소셜 네트워크에 존재하는 소셜 관계를 이용한 협업적 여과 시스템을 제안한다. 소셜 관계는 소셜 네트워크 서비스 중 하나인 페이스북 사용자들이 남긴 포스팅과 사용자의 소셜 네트워크 친구와 의견 교류 중 남긴 코멘트와 같은 사용자 행동을 기반으로 정의된다. 소셜 관계를 구축하기 위해 소셜 네트워크 사용자의 포스팅과 댓글을 추출하고, 추출된 텍스트에 불용어 및 특수 기호 제거와 스테밍 등 전처리를 수행하였다. 특징 벡터는 TF-IDF를 이용하여 전처리된 텍스트에 나타난 각 단어에 대한 특징 점수를 계산함으로써 구축된다. 본 논문에서 이웃 사용자를 결정하기 위해 사용되는 사용자 간 유사도는 특징 벡터를 이용한 사용자 행동 유사도와 사용자의 영화 평가를 기반으로 한 전통적 방법의 유사도를 결합하여 계산된다. 제안하는 시스템은 목표 사용자와 제안한 방법을 통해 결정된 이웃 사용자 집단을 기반으로 목표 사용자가 평가하지 않은 아이템에 대한 선호도를 예측하고 Top-N 아이템을 선별하여 사용자에게 아이템을 추천하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 확인하고 평가하기 위하여 IMDB에서 제공하는 영화 정보 기반으로 영화 평가 시스템을 구축하였다. 예측 정확도를 평가하기 위해 MAE 값을 이용하여 제안하는 알고리즘이 얼마나 정확한 추천을 수행하는지에 대한 예측 정확도를 측정하였다. 그리고 정확도, 재현율 및 F1값 등을 활용하여 시스템의 성능을 평가하였으며, 시스템의 추천 품질은 커버리지를 이용하여 평가되었다. 실험 결과로부터 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템이 보다 더 정확하고 좋은 성능으로 사용자에게 아이템을 추천하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특히 소셜 네트워크에서 사용자 행동을 기반으로 한 소셜 관계를 이용함으로써 추천 정확도를 6% 향상시킴을 보였다. 또한 벤치마크 알고리즘과의 성능비교 실험을 통해 7% 향상된 추천 성능의 결과를 보여준다. 그러므로 사용자의 행동으로부터 관찰된 소셜 관계를 CF방법과 결합한 제안한 방법이 정확한 추천시스템을 위해 유용하며, 추천시스템의 성능과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • 교정용 미니 임플랜트 고정원을 이용한 교정 치료가 보편화되며, SWA와 이를 이용한 on masse sliding retraction 은 임상에서 흔히 사용하는 치료법이 되었다. 그러나 고정원을 성공적으로 보존하려는 노력에 비해, 발치 공간 폐쇄시 전치부 치축 조절에 관여하는 요인에 대한 보고는 아직까지 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 제1소구치를 제거한 상악 치아와 치주 인대 그리고 치조골에 대한 3차원 유한요소 기준모델을 제작하였고, 제1대구치와 제2소구치 사이 주호선 10 mm 상방에 식립된 교정용 미니 임플랜트를 고정원으로 사용할 경우, 측절치-견치 사이의 견인 훅의 높이를 변화시키며 후상방 견인력을 가하거나, 주호선에 보상 만곡을 부여하는 것이 전치부 치축 조절에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 시뮬레이션 하였다. 또한 전치부 치축이 설측 경사된 모델을 같은 실험 조건으로 시뮬레이션 하여 발치 공간 페쇄 시 설측 경사된 전치부 치축을 유지하거나 개선할 수 있는 요인을 검토하였고, 다음과 같은 연구 결과를 얻었다. 2 mm 높이의 견인 훅에 대하여 후상방으로 견인력을 가할 경우 발생하는 함입력으로 인하여 전치부 설측 경사가 더 감소되지는 않았다. 견인 훅의 높이가 5 mm인 경우 후상방 견인력을 가하면, 측절치의 치관 순측 및 치근 설측 이동이 일어나고, 견치의 비조절성 후방 경사 이동이 심화되었다. 4 mm의 보상 만곡은 측절치의 치관 순측 및 치근 설측 이동을 일으키고, 견치의 비조절성 후방 경사 이동을 감소시켰다. 또한 전치부가 설측 경사된 모델을 기준모델과 같은 실험 조건으로 시뮬레이션 한 경우 치근면의 응력 분포와 25000배 확대된 그래프 상에서의 치아 이동 양상은 매우 유사하였다 이상의 결과는 미니 임플랜트-SWA sliding 생역학을 구사 시 견인 훅의 위치와 와이어 상의 보상 만곡의 유무에 의해 전치부의 치축 조절이 달라지며 실제 임상에서 가이드라인으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. 따라 수용자들의 적극적 인식도 심화되었다고 결론지을 수 있을 것이다. 신문이 일제의 지배방식에 순응해 독자들에게 내선일체와 전쟁협력을 강요했다는 역사적 평가를 듣게 만들었다.사되었으며 그 다음은 근 현대가 18편으로 26.47%, 중세 7편 10.3%, 선사시대 5편 7.35%, 상고시대가 1편으로 1.47%로 나타나 고대 중세, 근 현대 순으로 선호하는 것으로 나타났다.기인계 농약의 특징인 불안정성에 의해 광분해 및 미생물 분해를 통해 이미 분해가 진행 중이어서 본래의 유기인 화합물이 검출되지 않았을 가능성이 있다. 그리고 유기인계 농약이 완전히 분해되어 생성된 유기인계 농약 기원의 영양염류가 저수지 내로 많은 양이 유입된다면, 부영양화에 기여할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 농업용 저수지에서 유기인계 농약의 농도 분포는 물론이고 중간 생성물과 그 독성, 광분해 및 미생물 분해의 메커니즘, 그리고 최종 산물에 대한 연구가 필요하다.삭감율은 BOD의 경우 Scenario 1-1(처리용량 1,500 $m^3$ $day^{-1}$인 인공습지), scenario 1-2 (처리용량 1,000 $m^3$ $day^{-1}$인 인공습지), scenario 2(면적 4.2ha인 저류지)가 각각 연평균 6.9%, 4.8%, 7.1%의 감소를 보였다. TN은 4.7%, 3.4%, 13.4%의 삭감율을 나타내었으며, TP는 5.6%, 3.9%, 7.3%의 삭감율을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 적용하지 못하였으나, 인공습지와 저류지의 적절한 연계시스템을 적용한다면 저감시설 설치 부지면적과 비용의 감소뿐만 아니라 보다 효과적인 수질개선효과를 가져올 수 있으리라 판단된다.다. 이상과 같이 조선시대 주식류의 종류 및 조리방법에 대한 문헌적 고찰을 분석한 결과로 조선시대로부터 현재까지 주식류의 변천과정을 파악할 수 있었으며 새롭게 문헌으로라도 복원된 전통음식인

  • During my stay in the Netherlands, I have studied the following, primarily in relation to the Mokpo Yong-san project which had been studied by the NEDECO for a feasibility report. 1. Unit hydrograph at Naju There are many ways to make unit hydrograph, but I want explain here to make unit hydrograph from the- actual run of curve at Naju. A discharge curve made from one rain storm depends on rainfall intensity per houre After finriing hydrograph every two hours, we will get two-hour unit hydrograph to devide each ordinate of the two-hour hydrograph by the rainfall intensity. I have used one storm from June 24 to June 26, 1963, recording a rainfall intensity of average 9. 4 mm per hour for 12 hours. If several rain gage stations had already been established in the catchment area. above Naju prior to this storm, I could have gathered accurate data on rainfall intensity throughout the catchment area. As it was, I used I the automatic rain gage record of the Mokpo I moteorological station to determine the rainfall lntensity. In order. to develop the unit ~Ydrograph at Naju, I subtracted the basic flow from the total runoff flow. I also tried to keed the difference between the calculated discharge amount and the measured discharge less than 1O~ The discharge period. of an unit graph depends on the length of the catchment area. 2. Determination of sluice dimension Acoording to principles of design presently used in our country, a one-day storm with a frequency of 20 years must be discharged in 8 hours. These design criteria are not adequate, and several dams have washed out in the past years. The design of the spillway and sluice dimensions must be based on the maximun peak discharge flowing into the reservoir to avoid crop and structure damages. The total flow into the reservoir is the summation of flow described by the Mokpo hydrograph, the basic flow from all the catchment areas and the rainfall on the reservoir area. To calculate the amount of water discharged through the sluiceCper half hour), the average head during that interval must be known. This can be calculated from the known water level outside the sluiceCdetermined by the tide) and from an estimated water level inside the reservoir at the end of each time interval. The total amount of water discharged through the sluice can be calculated from this average head, the time interval and the cross-sectional area of' the sluice. From the inflow into the .reservoir and the outflow through the sluice gates I calculated the change in the volume of water stored in the reservoir at half-hour intervals. From the stored volume of water and the known storage capacity of the reservoir, I was able to calculate the water level in the reservoir. The Calculated water level in the reservoir must be the same as the estimated water level. Mean stand tide will be adequate to use for determining the sluice dimension because spring tide is worse case and neap tide is best condition for the I result of the calculatio 3. Tidal computation for determination of the closure curve. During the construction of a dam, whether by building up of a succession of horizontael layers or by building in from both sides, the velocity of the water flowinii through the closing gapwill increase, because of the gradual decrease in the cross sectional area of the gap. 1 calculated the . velocities in the closing gap during flood and ebb for the first mentioned method of construction until the cross-sectional area has been reduced to about 25% of the original area, the change in tidal movement within the reservoir being negligible. Up to that point, the increase of the velocity is more or less hyperbolic. During the closing of the last 25 % of the gap, less water can flow out of the reservoir. This causes a rise of the mean water level of the reservoir. The difference in hydraulic head is then no longer negligible and must be taken into account. When, during the course of construction. the submerged weir become a free weir the critical flow occurs. The critical flow is that point, during either ebb or flood, at which the velocity reaches a maximum. When the dam is raised further. the velocity decreases because of the decrease\ulcorner in the height of the water above the weir. The calculation of the currents and velocities for a stage in the closure of the final gap is done in the following manner; Using an average tide with a neglible daily quantity, I estimated the water level on the pustream side of. the dam (inner water level). I determined the current through the gap for each hour by multiplying the storage area by the increment of the rise in water level. The velocity at a given moment can be determined from the calcalated current in m3/sec, and the cross-sectional area at that moment. At the same time from the difference between inner water level and tidal level (outer water level) the velocity can be calculated with the formula $h= \frac{V^2}{2g}$ and must be equal to the velocity detertnined from the current. If there is a difference in velocity, a new estimate of the inner water level must be made and entire procedure should be repeated. When the higher water level is equal to or more than 2/3 times the difference between the lower water level and the crest of the dam, we speak of a "free weir." The flow over the weir is then dependent upon the higher water level and not on the difference between high and low water levels. When the weir is "submerged", that is, the higher water level is less than 2/3 times the difference between the lower water and the crest of the dam, the difference between the high and low levels being decisive. The free weir normally occurs first during ebb, and is due to. the fact that mean level in the estuary is higher than the mean level of . the tide in building dams with barges the maximum velocity in the closing gap may not be more than 3m/sec. As the maximum velocities are higher than this limit we must use other construction methods in closing the gap. This can be done by dump-cars from each side or by using a cable way.e or by using a cable way.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • 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.

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. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
