산업화 이후 대기 이산화탄소를 포함한 온실가스 증가에 따라 전지구 기온이 빠르게 올라가고 있는데, 특히 북극의 온난화가 저위도에 비해 2-3배 빠르다. 그리고 온난화와 함께 북극 해빙의 농도와 면적도 지속적으로 감소추세에 있다. 이는 온난화에 대한 북극의 눈과 얼음에 의한 알베도 피드백, 표면기온 차이에 의해 더 많은 에너지를 잃는 플랑크 피드백, 저위도와 고위도의 안정도 차이에 의한 기온감률 피드백, 북극해 온난화에 의한 구름과 수증기 증가 피드백, 그리고 북극으로의 현열속 증가 등에 의한다. 이와 같이 급격한 북극 온난화에 반해 중위도에는 냉각화가 나타나고, 지역에 따라 한파가 더 자주 나타나고 오래 지속되는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 북극 온난화 증폭과 연관 있다는 연구결과들이 많이 보고되고 있다. 북극 온난화는 2가지 경로를 통해 중위도 냉각화로 연결되는데, 하나는 종관규모로 주로 블로킹과 로스비 파동의 발달에 의한 시베리아 고기압을 강화시켜 대류권에서 일어나는 현상이며, 두 번째는 북극 온난화에 의한 상층으로의 행성파 전달을 활성화하여 폴라보텍스를 약화시켜 성층권을 경유해 수개월 동안 나타나는 경로이다. 중위도 한파와 북극 온난화 증폭 간에는 수주에서 수개월의 시차가 존재하기 때문에, 북극 온난화부터 중위도 한파에 이르는 일련의 연쇄 과정을 이해할 수 있으면 겨울철 중위도 기상 예측의 정확성을 높일 수 있다. 이연구에서는 기존에 보고된 많은 결과들을 종합하고 온도와 해빙 변화 경향 분석을 통해 현재 진행되는 북극 온난화와 중위도 냉각화 경향 그리고 이 둘 간의 관계를 고찰해 보고자 한다.

Khori(高麗) refers to the Chaabog(reindeer) that live on lichens(蘚) on Mt. Soyon(鮮) in which pastures are the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia. Thus, the origin region of the Khori or Koguryo that are the ancestors of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads(馴鹿 遊牧民) can be said to be the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas of North Eurasia and North America. When the pastoral nomads moved on to the great mountain(大山) zone of the Jangbaek(長白) to the Baekdu(白頭) Mountains, they could have been in contact with pastoral farmers or agricultural farmers living there and they became the farmers remaining on agricultural farms. They were the Koryo people, the ancestors of Korea. Staying in one place, they gradually forgot the origin of their reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic history in the Northwest area of Mt. Soyon, the small mountain(小山) zone of the Steppe-Taiga-Tundra pastoral areas. In other words, they lost their identity as reindeer-herding pastoral nomads when they entered the agricultural area after leaving the pastoral area. However, since their basic genes had already formed when they lived on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia, it is possible to study their pastoral nomadic history focusing on 'the minority living in the broad area(廣域少數)', by utilizing highly advanced biotechnological science and focusing on genes and information technology innovation, and removing various past hindrances in research. Therefore, it is not so difficult to restore the reindeerherding pastoral nomadic history of the Koguryo(高句麗) people and secure their pastoral nomadic identity, of which the first steps have already been taken into their historical stages. The Eurasian continent and the Korean peninsula, especially the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the Korean peninsula have been closely related to each other ecologically and historically. They can never be a separate space at all. The Eurasian continent lies horizontally east to west and thus, the continent forms an isothermal zone. Also, since the time of producing their own foods, it was relatively easy for people with their technology to move to other places owing to the pastoral nomadic characteristic of mobility. Unlike the Chungyen(中原) region, western Asia and the regions covering the Siberia-Manchu-Korean peninsula where food production revolution was first made were connected to the Mongolian lichens route(蘚苔之路: Ni, ukinii jam) and steppe roads. Although the ecological conditions of nature have changed a bit throughout a long history, it was natural for the many tribes in North Asia living on the largest Steppe-Taiga-Tundra area in the world to have believed 'the legends related to animals in relation to their founders and ancestors(獸祖傳說)'. Assuming that Siberian tigers and the tigers living on Mt. Baekdu were connected ecologically and genetically because of the ecological characteristics of the animals, and their migration from plateau to plateau, we would suspect that the Chosun(朝鮮) tribe living on Mt. Baekdu were ethnically and culturally more closely connected to the farther removed Ural-Altai tribes that lived on the cold and dry plateau region than to the Han(i14;) tribe who lived in Chungyen(中原) that was close to Mt. Baekdu. More evidence is the structure of the Korean language which has the form of 'Subject + Object + Verb', which is assumed to have originated from the speedy lifestyle of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads. The structure is quite different from that of the Han(漢) language, which is based on agricultural life. Also, it is natural for reindeer riding reindeerherding pastoral nomads or horse-riding sheep-herding pastoral nomads(騎馬, 羊遊牧民) to have held military and political power over the region and eventually to have established an ancient pastoral nomadic empire in the process of their conquest of agricultural regions. The stages for founding global empires in the history of mankind maybe largely divided into two, in terms of ecological conditions and occupations. They are the steppes and the oceans. Of course, the steppe-based empires were established based on the skills to deal with horses and the ability to shoot arrows while riding horses, along with the use of iron ware in the 8th century BC. The steppe-based empires became the foundation for an oceanic empire, which could have been established by the use of warships and warship guns since the 15th Century. Based on those facts, we know that Chosun, Puyo(夫餘), and Koguryo are the products of a developmental process of pastoral nomadic empires on the steppes. Maybe we can easily find the pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo more than we expected when we trace the origins and history of the Korean tribe living in the pastures located in the northwest area of Mt. Jangbaek by focusing on pastoral nomadic mobility and organization just as we have investigated the historic origins of Anglo-Saxons in America by focusing on the times before the 15th Century. In the process, we should keep in mind that English culture originated from the Industrial Revolution and was directly delivered to the American continent, although America was far from England and was not an intermediate point on long sojourns either. Further, American culture came back to England in a more advanced form later. The most important thing currently to be resolved is to cause Koreans to look back on their own history in a freer way of thinking and with diverse, profound, and sharp insight, taking away the old and existing conventional recognition that is entangled with complicated interests with Korean people and other countries. The meanings of Chosun, Khori, and Solongos have been interpreted arbitrarily without any historic evidence by the scholars who followed conventional tradition of fixed-minded aristocrats in an agricultural society. If the Siberian cultural properties of the stone age, the earthenware age, the bronze age, and the iron age are analyzed in such a way, archaeological discovery will never be able to contribute to the restoration of the Koguryo's pastoral nomadic identity. One should transcend the errors that tend to interpret the cultural properties discovered in the pastoral nomadic regions as not being differentiated from those of agricultural regions and just interpret them altogether from the agricultural point of view. A more careful intention is required in the interpretation of cultural properties of ancient Korean empires that seem to have been formed due to mutual interactions of pastoral nomadic and agricultural cultures. Also, it is required that the conventional recognition chain of 'reverse-genes' be severed, which has placed more weight on agricultural properties than pastoral nomadic ones, since their settlement on agricultural farms was made after the establishment of their ancient pastoral nomadic empires. There is no reason at all to place priority on stoneware, earthenware, bronze ware, and iron ware than on wooden ware(木器) and other ware which were made of animal skins(皮器), bones and horns(骨角器), in analyzing the history in the regions of reindeer or sheep pastures. Reading ancient Korean history from the perspective of pastoral nomadic history, one feels strongly the instinctive emotions to return to the natural 'mother place'. The reindeer-herding pastoral nomadic identity of the Koguryo people that has been accumulated in volumes in their genes and hidden deep inside and have interacted organically could be reborn with Burqanism(Burqan refers to 不咸 in Chinese), which was their religion by birth and symbolized as the red willow(紅柳=不咸). The mother place of the Koguryo's people is the endless vast green pastures of North Eurasia and North America, where we anticipated the development of Korean livestock farming following the inherent properties in the genes of the reindeer-herding pastoral nomads with Korean ancestors. We anticipate that the place would be the core resource that could contribute to the development of life of living creatures following the inherent properties of their genes and biotechnological factors. In other words, biotechnology used for a search for clues on the well-being of humans could be the fruit brought by Burqanism of the Koguryo people and the fruit of the globalization of Korean livestock farming. It is the Chosun farmer in China come from the vast nomadic reindeer pastures of North Eurasia that resolved the food problem of a billion Chinese people with lowland paddy rice seeds (水稻) by transforming Heilongjiang Province(黑龍江省) into an oceanic lowland paddy rice field(水田). Even Mao Tse-tung(毛擇東) could not resolve the food problem by his revolution campaigns for tens of years. Today is the very time that requires the development of special livestock farming following the inherent properties of the ancient Korean reindeer-herding pastoral nomads that respected the dignity of life on the cold and dry plateau of North Eurasia and the America continent. I suggest that research should be started from the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe in East Mongolia that was the homeland of Hanwoo(韓牛) and the central horse-herding steppe place(牧馬場) of Chingis Khan's Mongolia. The Dariganga Steppe is awash with an affluent natural environment for pastoral nomadic living however, the quality of life of the pastoral nomads there is still low. I suggest we Koreans, the descendents of the Koguryo, should take our first steps for our livestock farming business project and develop the Northern nomadic pastures, here at the pastures of the Dariganga Steppe, which is the Mongolian core place of state-of-the-art technology for military weapons.

본 실험은 고온기 근권 냉방 시간에 따른 배지 온도 하강과 파프리카(Capsicum annum L.) 'Orange glory'의 생리적 반응을 알아보고자 7월 16일부터 10월 15일까지 코이어 배지에서 수경 재배하였다. 배지의 일평균, 최고 및 최저 온도변화와 파프리카의 뿌리 활력, 수분 포텐셜, 개화시기 및 착과수 등을 측정하였다. $20{\pm}2^{\circ}C$의 냉수를 순환시키는 XL 파이프 근권부 냉방시간 처리는 전일(전일, 24시간), 야간(야간, 오후 5시-오전 3시), 및 냉방 무처리(대조구)로 7월 23일부터 9월 23일까지 처리하였다. 고온기(7월 23일-8월 31일) 동안 일평균 배지 온도가 전일 처리구에서는 $25.6^{\circ}C(22.7-28.2^{\circ}C)$, 야간 처리구에서는 $26.1^{\circ}C(22.9-29.2^{\circ}C)$로 대조구의 $29.1^{\circ}C(24.7-33.2^{\circ}C)$에 비해 $1.8-5^{\circ}C$ 낮아졌다. 하루 중(맑은 날, 8월 1일) 배지의 최고온도 도달 시간이 전일과 야간 처리구에서는 오후 4-5시였으며, 대조구는 오후 7-8시였다. 주간(오전 6시-오후 8시)과 야간(오후 8시-오전 6시) 시간의 배지 온도는 처리에 따라 차이를 보였다. 주간/야간의 배지 평균온도는 대조구보다 전일 처리구에서 $3.3^{\circ}C/4^{\circ}C$, 야간 처리구에서 $2.1^{\circ}C/3.4^{\circ}C$ 낮아졌다. 배지 깊이별 배지 온도 차(대조구 배지 온도 - 처리구 배지 온도)는 하부에서 가장 컸다. 전일 처리구의 배지 온도차 변화는 배지 상/중/하부에서 완만하였으나, 야간 처리구는 주간과 야간 시간대 배지 온도 차가 배지 중간, 하부에서 커졌다. 배지 평균 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상 계측된 날이 대조구에서는 40일, 전일 처리구에서는 23일, 야간 처리구에서는 27일로 대조구에 비해 각각 42.5%, 32.5% 배지온도 하강효과를 보였다. 전일 처리구의 파프리카 뿌리 활력과 수분 포텐셜은 야간 처리구보다 유의하게 높았다. 근권 냉방 처리의 첫 개화시기는 4-5일 앞당겨지고 착과수도 유의하게 증가하였다. 그러나 고온기 지상부가 고온(${\geq}30^{\circ}C$)으로 파프리카 착과는 늦어졌다. 이는 근권 냉방으로 배지 온도가 $1.8-5.0^{\circ}C$ 낮아졌으나, 고온기 파프리카 생육과 착과를 위해서는 근권 냉방뿐 아니라 지상부 온도를 낮추는 방식이 병행되어야 한다.

본 연구에서는 생물다양성협약(CBD) 글로벌 보전목표(K-M GBF)의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 실천목표 3(30by30)에 대한 우리나라의 효과적 대응 방향을 모색하기 위한 것으로, OECM에 대한 글로벌 개념 고찰 및 전문가 인식조사를 통해 국가 차원의 체계적인 OECM 발굴방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 글로벌 표준을 준수하되 한국적 맥락을 반영한 국가 차원의 체계적인 OECM 발굴방향을 모색을 위해 본 연구에서는 ①OECM 관련 한국적 용어 사용, ②글로벌 표준을 반영한 결정인자(criteria) 도출, ③우리나라 잠재 OECM 후보 유형 도출, ④OECM 발굴‧보고 시 고려사항 등을 검토하였다. 먼저 OECM의 단순 번역어 사용이 아닌 이의 개념을 잘 반영한 '한국적 용어' 사용에 대한 공감대 형성이 있었으며, 가장 선호되는 용어이자 '자연과 조화로운 삶'이라는 생물다양성협약(CBD) 2050 비전과도 그 맥락을 같이하는 '자연공존지역(12명)'이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 글로벌 표준을 반영한 주요 결정인자로는, 1단계 선별과정에서 OECM 핵심 특성을 반영한 4개 결정인자(1. 보호지역 여부, 2. 지리적 경계, 3. 거버넌스‧관리, 4. 생물다양성 가치)를 활용하고, 개별지역 심층진단을 수행하기 전에 관리‧관할기관 등과의 공감대형성(2단계) 과정을 거친 후 3단계(발굴‧보고단계)에서 2가지 결정인자(3-1 거버넌스와 관리의 효과성과 지속성, 4-1의 생물다양성 가치의 장기적 보전성과)를 추가하여 심층 진단을 수행하는 방향을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 살펴본 28개 유형은 대체적으로 OECM 부합성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며(4.45~6.21점/7점, 평균 5.24점), 특히 자연환경국민신탁의 보전재산(6.21점) 및 보전협약지(6.07점)가 OECM 개념에 가장 잘 부합할 것으로 나타났다. 이어 세계자연유산 완충구역(5.77점), 사찰림(5.73점), 개발제한구역(5.63점), 비무장지대(5.60점), 생물권보전지역 완충구역(5.50점) 등이 잠재성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 절대보전무인도서의 경우 보호지역에 부합한다는 응답(5.83/7점)이 OECM 부합성(5.52/7점) 보다 더 높게 나타나, 향후 절대보전무인도는 그 주변해역(1km)과 더불어 한국보호지역데이터베이스(KDPA)에 등재를 추진하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. OECM 관련 글로벌 표준 검토 및 전문가 인식조사 결과를 토대로, 한국적 맥락의 OECM 발굴시 고려사항으로 10가지를 제시하였다. 향후 이러한 고려사항을 참고하여 단계적인 발굴사업을 통해 OECM을 목록화하고 기존 보호지역과의 연계를 통한 국가 차원의 현지-내 보전체계 정립을 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

1. Macrobrachium rosenbergi(de Man)의 효율적인 종묘생산의 방안을 모색하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 염분량이 유생에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 부화직후의 Zoea유생을 (1) 염분량 별로 9실험구:담수, $3.48\~4.42\%_{\circ}Cl,\;5.26\~6.45\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.63\~8.23\%_{\circ}Cl,\;9.76\~10.52\%_{\circ}Cl,\;11.27\~11.94\%_{\circ}C1,\;13.12\~14.08\%_{\circ}Cl,\;16.13\~16.88\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $18.04\~18.92\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분한 사육수에서 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$ 및 여과유속 0.6l/min.로 고정한 순환식 수조(용량 25l)내에서 Artemia salina nauplii 투이하며 post-larva령기까지 변태되는 온도별 성장 속도와 그 변태율을 비교하여 본 유생의 생육여과도를 조사하였고, (2) 각 령기별유생의 각종 염분량에 대한 적응도와 선택기호성을 조사하기 위하여 1l 용량의 코니칼 비커속에 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, aeration (3-4기포/sec)을 약하게 유지한 12실험구 ; 담수, $2.21\~2.76\%_{\circ}Cl,\;4.12\~4.47\%_{\circ}Cl,\;5.58\~5.98\%_{\circ}Cl,\;8.23\~8.64\%_{\circ}Cl,\;10.11\~10.56\%_{\circ}Cl,\;11.85\~12.42\%_{\circ}Cl,\;13.05\~14.51\%_{\circ},\;14.75\~15.38\%_{\circ}Cl,\;16.86\~17.72\%_{\circ}Cl\;18.54\~19.08\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 해수$(19.38\%_{\circ}Cl)$로 구분한 사육수에 제 1 Zoea 령기, 제 4 Zoea 령기, 제 6 Zoea 령기, 제 8 Zoea 령기, 제 10 Zoea령기 및 제 11 Zoea령기를 급격한 염도변화에 조우당함을 피하기 위하여 일정한 염도에 순화시킨 후 각각 이주시켜 Artemia salina nauplii를 투이하고 2일간격으로 실험구의 사육수를 치환하며 6일간을 사육한 후 각실험구별의 생잔유생수를 서로 비교하였다. (3) 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$를 유지시키고 염도가 상이한 3종의 사육조 ; $3.82\~4.68\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.14\~7.85\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $10.22\~11.05\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 사육, 성장시킨 제 2 Zoea, 제 4 Zoea, 제 6 Zoea 및 제 8 Zoea 령기의 유생을 별도로 염분별로 3실험구 : $3.68\~4.34\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.42\~8.28\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $10.71\~11.53\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분한 150 l 용량의 여과실험조에 서로 염도가 상이한 간격간을 이주 (Fig. 4)시켜 12일간을 Artemia salina nauplii를 투이하고 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$을 유지시키며 사육한 후 이주시킨 유생의 령기별 및 사육도중에 이주한 염도의 간격차에 대한 생잔율을 서로 비교하여 사육도중에 조우하는 변동된 염도에 대한 각 령기별 유생의 적응도를 조사하였으며 이 실험을 위하여 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, 염분량 $5.28\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 갓 부화된 유생을 각사육조에 분양시켜 사육하였다. (4) post-larvarl 및 Juvenile의 염분량에 대한 성장률 및 서식적염도를 조사하기 위하여 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, 여과유속 $0.6\~0.8l\~min$를 유지시키며 염분별로 6실험구 ; 담수 $3.61\~4.25\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $16.87\~17.13\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분하여 각실험별로 40일, 60일 및 120일의 성장도 및 그 생잔율을 상호 비교하였다. qs 실험기간중 투여한 이료는 반숙절편한 반지락을 사용하였다. 2. 본유생의 post-larva로 변태하기 위해서는 반드시 일정량의 염분량이 요하고 기호, 선택하는 염분량은 각령기에 따라 다소상이하나 대체로 염분량 $7.63\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $14.42\%_{\circ}Cl$의 범위가 적염도로 생각되며 이 범위내에서는 염분량에 따른 변태속도의 차이는 거의 볼 수 없으나 염분량 $4.42\%_{\circ}Cl$이상의 보다 높은 염도에서는 현저한 지연현상이 나타나며 더욱이 높은 염도에 비하여 저염도인 경우가 더욱 늦어지는 경향을 보인다. 3. 각 Zeoa 령기별의 염분량에 대한 적응도는 대체로 염분량 $8.28\~12.42\%_{\circ}Cl$ 사이가 가장 크나 령기가 기호, 선택하는 염분량에 차이가 있으므로 그 적응도도 서로 상이하다. 보편적으로 전령기를 통하여 제8 Zoea기를 전환점으로 하여 이 보다 어린 령기의 유생일수록 비교적 높은 염도에 대한 적응도가 높은데 반하여 령기가 진전되어 post-larva 기로 근접해 갈수록 점차적으로 저염도에 대한 기호, 선택성이 커지는 경향을 보인다. 4. Post-larva기에 대한 서식적염도는 염분량 $8.08\%_{\circ}Cl$ 담수의 범위로서 Zoea 령기에 비하여 저염성을 나타내고 더우기 적정범위는 염분량 $4.25\%_{\circ}Cl$로서 담수에 가까울수록 그 성장도는 높다. 따라서 Zoea유생은 담수에서 보다 성장률이 높다. 한편 post-larva는 령기 의 개체가 해수($19.38\%_{\circ}Cl$ 이상)에서 1일이상을 생존치 못하는데 비하여 Zoea 유생은 6일이사을 적응할 수가 있다. 5. Zoea 유생은 염분량에 대한 특성이 령기의 진전에 따라 고염성으로부터 저염성으로 그 특성이 조금씩 이행됨은 제8 Zoea 령기를 지나므로써 post-larva 기가 가지고 제 특성으로 점차 이행되기 때문으로 생각되며 이같은 현상을 뒷받침하는 것은 형태적으로 제 8 령기를 전후하여 종전의 유생에 제1, 제2 보각에 협지가 형성됨과 동시에 유영피도 거의 완성되어 post-larve 기의 형태로 이행됨을 볼 수 있고 또한 생태적으로도 제10-제11령기에 이르러서는 종전의 유영층에서 점차로 저변으로 이행하여 유영동작도 훨씰 둔화되어 post-larvarl로 전환되는 과도기의 특성을 관찰할 수가 있다. 따라서 이같은 점을 결부하여 제 8 령기를 지남으로써 염분량에 대한 특성 및 적응도가 종전의 유생기와 상이해 짐을 이해할 수 있다. 6. 령기별 Zoea유생을 사육도중에 염분량 $3.68\~11.53\%_{\circ}Cl$ 범위내에서 고, 저염도간을 갑자기 이주시켜 조우한 염도변화에 대한 적응도를 조사하니 제 8 Zoea 령기를 전환점으로 하여 어린 령기일수록 저염도에서 높은 염도로 이주했을 때의 적응도가 크고, 령기가 진전되어 post-larva 기에 가까워 질수록 반대로 높은 온도에서 저염도로 이주했을 때의 적응도가 점차로 커져가는 경향을 보였다. 또한 특의한 현상은 상이한 두 염도간을 가역방향으로 이주시켰을 때의 적응도는 각각 상이하고 이같은 경우에도 제 8 Zoea 령기를 경계로 하여 이동된 염분량에 대한 령기별 유생의 적응도도 전환되는 현상을 나타내었다. 7. Zoea 유생을 사육하는 동안 사육수의 염분함유량에 비례하여 유생의 체표에 산재하는 색소포가 팽창되어 주로 붉은색을 나타내게 됨으로 염분함유량과 색소포의 확장과는 어떤 관계가 있는 듯 생각된다. 8. 령기별 Zoea 유생 및 post-larva 기의 염분량에 대한 기호, 선택성과 치하 및 성하의 서식분포역을 고려할 때 자연서식역의 하천에서는 왕부하는 생활사를 취하는 듯 생각된다. 9. 본종의 종묘생산을 효율적으로 영위하기 위해는 유생의 염분량에 대한 특성을 고려하여 제 8 Zoea 령기를 경계로 해서 어린 유생기에서는 대략 염분량 $8\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $12\%_{\circ}Cl$를 유지시켜 사육하다가 제 8령기 이후 부터는 점차로 담수를 첨가시켜 염분량이 령기의 진전에 따라 $7\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $4\%_{\circ}Cl$로 이행되게 하는 것이 능률적이며 또한 효과적인 사육법의 하나로써 Green water를 사용할 때도 사육환경의 변동에 민감한 어린 유생기에 단세포 녹조류를 충분히 번식시켜 사육수내이 생물학적 평형상태를 유지시켜 주는 것이 중요함으로 어린 령기에는 가능한 염도를 높여 Green water의 보존도 효과적으로 하는 것이 전망된다.

유아교육 기관에서의 체계적이고 과학적인 영양관리의 중요성이 부각됨에 따라 어린이의 올바른 식생활 형성, 관리 및 영양교육을 위한 영양관리프로그램 개발의 기초자료 마련을 위해 울산시 보육 시설에 다니는 $3{\sim}6$세 어린이를 대상으로 신체계측 및 식습관, 식품섭취빈도, 영양섭취조사를 한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1) 어린이가 식사를 잘하지 않는 이유로는 '많은 간식으로 인하여'라는 답이 가장 높은 비율 (50.4%)을 차지하였으며, 규칙적 아침 식사에 있어서는 1주에 $3{\sim}4$번 하는 어린이가 17.9%, $1{\sim}2$번 하는 어린이가 6.2%로 아침 결식률이 높았다. 2) 간식의 빈도로 세 번 이상 주는 경우가 22.8%로 나타났으며 생우유 섭취량이 하루 3컵 이상 마시는 어린이도 11.7%였다. 3) 어린이의 식습관에서 흔히 나타나는 문항을 5점 척도로 식습관을 평가하였다. '식사 시간이 규칙적'이라는 문항에 대해서 평균 $3.5\;{\pm}\;0.9$점으로 가장 높은 점수를 나타내었으며 다음으로 '적당양을 섭취한다'의 문항으로 평균 $3.4\;{\pm}\;1.0$, '음식 투정을 하지 않는다' $3.1\;{\pm}1.0$, '음식을 골고루 섭취한다' $3.0\;{\pm}\;1.0$로 나타났으며 마지막으로 '식사를 빨리 끝낸다'의 문항에 대해서는 $2.7\;{\pm}\;0.9$의 낮은 점수로 평가되었다. 또한 5문항 전체 평가에 있어서는 식습관이 우수하다고 판정되는 어린이가 9.0%에 불과했으며 대부분 식습관이 보통인 것으로 평가되었으나 식습관이 불량하다고 판정되는 경우도 6.2%로 유치원에서부터 어린이의 식습관 개선을 위한 영양교육이 필요하다고 보여진다. 4) 어린이의 식품군별 섭취빈도 점수를 점수화하여 비교 분석한 결과 가장 낮은 섭취를 나타낸 식품군은 녹황색 채소류로 평가 점수가 $1.8\;{\pm}\;0.9$였으며, 다음이 미역, 김 등의 해조류의 식품이 $2.1\;{\pm}\;1.1$, 과일류가 $2.5\;{\pm}\;1.2$의 순으로 평가되었다. 어육류, 계란, 콩 등 단백질 식품은 $2.6\;{\pm}\;1.1$, 우유 및 유제품의 경우는 $3.3\;{\pm}\;1.1$로 가장 자주 섭취하는 식품군으로 나타났으며, 튀김 음식의 경우 어린이의 32.4%가 주에 $1{\sim}2$번 정도로 거의 섭취하지 않는다고 답하여 평점 $3.0\;{\pm}\;0.9$로 식습관의 진단에는 양호한 결과를 보였다 4) 어린이의 건강 상태를 5점 척도로 평가한 결과 감기 증상이 $3.1\;{\pm}\;1.0$로 가장 낮은 점수를 나타내었으며 알레르기 증상이 $3.7\;{\pm}\;1.3$로 낮은 결과를 보여 영양소 섭취 부족에 의한 임상 증상들에 비해 면역에 대한 질환의 위험도가 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 어린이의 건강 점수는 50.3%가 양호한 것으로 나타났으며 47.6%가 보통, 2.1%가 건강 위험이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 5) 대상 어린이의 신장은 평균 $103.6\;{\pm}\;6.4\;cm$였으며 남아의 경우 $104.5\;{\pm}\;6.3\;cm$, 여아의 경우 $102.6\;{\pm}\;6.4\;cm$로 연령 간에는 유의한 차이 (p < 0.05)가 있었으며 남녀 어린이 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 체중은 평균 $17.8\;{\pm}\;3.0\;kg$였고, 남아 평균 $18.4\;{\pm}\;3.2\;kg$, 여아 평균 $17.1\;{\pm}\;2.7\;kg$였다. 연령 간에는 4세에는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 5세, 6세에는 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 남녀 어린이 간에는 4세에만 유의한 차이가 있었다. 6) WLI를 기준으로 비만율을 판정한 결과 저체중율은 11.1%, 과체중 이상의 어린이 비율이 17.4%로 나타났다. Rohrer지수의 경우 비만도의 평가는 저체중율은 전혀 없었으며, 과체중 이상의 어린이가 86.8%로 높게 나타났다. Kaup 지수에 의한 비만율은 저체중율이 2.8%, 과체중 이상의 경우는 29.2%로 나타나 WLI에 의한 빈도보다는 조금 높았으며, 비만 지수 (Obesity Index)를 이용한 경우 저체중율이 2.1%, 과체중 이상 어린이가 20.8%로 판정되었다. 본 연구 어린이의 성장의 특징은 모든 지표에서 3세에 유의하게 비만지수가 높게 나타났으며 연령이 증가하면서 비만 지수가 낮아지는 경향이었고, 다른 연구 결과에 비해 저체중 비율이 낮았다. 7) 조사 대상 어린이의 영양소 섭취 상태를 조사한 결과에너지 섭취는 한국인영양섭취기준보다 낮은 수준으로 에너지필요추정량 (EER)의 85.7% 수준이었다. 에너지적정섭취비율 (Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges:AMDR)은 탄수화물：단백질：지방의 비율이 62.6:21.5:15.7로 한국인 영양섭취기준에서 제시하는 $55{\sim}70:7{\sim}20:15{\sim}30$과 비교 시 지방의 섭취 비율은 낮은 편이며 단백질의 섭취비율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 단백질의 섭취는 권장섭취량의 3배가 넘는 수준으로 높은 섭취를 나타내었다. 비타민 A의 경우 권장섭취량의 133%를 섭취하였으며, 어린이에서 가장 섭취율이 낮은 것으로 알려진 칼슘의 경우 권장섭취량의 98.9%를 섭취하였고 무기질과 비타민 중 엽산을 제외한 모든 영양소에서 권장섭취량을 초과 섭취하는 것으로 나타났다. 8) 열량섭취 부족의 어린이는 33.3%, 지방의 섭취가 부족한 어린이의 비율은 42.7%로 조사되었으며, 특히 엽산은 어린이의 85.5%가 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 비타민 A, 나이아신, 비타민 C의 경우 각각 어린이의 29.1%, 35.0%, 47.0%가 섭취 부족인 것으로 조사되었다. 반대로 영양소 과잉 섭취 어린이의 비율은 나이아신의 경우는 24.8%, 비타민 A의 경우 4.3%, 철분은 1.7%로 나타났다. 울산 지역 미취학 아동을 대상으로 실시한 이상의 연구결과를 종합해보면 식사를 잘하지 못하는 이유로 간식섭취가 높기 때문이라고 답한 비율이 높고 실제로 어린이의 간식 섭취 빈도나 우유 및 유제품 섭취량 또한 다른 연구와 비교 시 높은 것으로 판단되어 균형잡힌 식습관에 문제가 있을 것으로 판단되어진다. 또한 다른 지역 연구에 비해 저체중으로 판단되는 어린이의 비율이 낮고 과체중 이상 비만으로 판단되는 어린이의 비율이 높게 나타난 점, 영양소섭취에 대한 조사결과 대부분의 영양소에서 한국인영양섭취기준의 권장섭취량을 초과 섭취 하는 것으로 나타난 점등을 고려할 때 본 연구 어린이에 대해 과잉 영양소 섭취에 대한 좀 더 세밀한 관심과 영양교육이 필요하다고 보여 진다. 따라서 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 지역사회의 건강증진사업을 담당하고 있는 보건소 및 대학, 유아기관 등에서 어린이의 식습관에 대한 교육프로그램 개발에 힘써야 할 것이며, 부모와 어린이의 식생활지도를 통한 교육 프로그램이 활성화 될 수 있도록 지속적인 관심을 가져야 할 것이다.

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. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.
