배 경 : 부분액체환기 (partial liquid ventilation; PLV) 시 최적의 기계환기의 설정에 대해서는 아직 논란이 많은 상태이다. 이에 정상 폐의 PLV 시 가스교환에 영향을 주는 인자들을 관찰함으로써, PLV 시 최적의 기계환기 설정을 확립하는 데에 이용하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : New Zealand 산 백색 토끼 7 마리를 기계환기를 시행하였다. 기계환기는 압력 조절 양식으로 일회호흡량 ($V_T$) 8 mL/kg, PEEP 4 $cmH_2O$, 흡기대호기비 (I: E ratio) 1:2, 흡입산소분율 ($F_IO_2$) 0.75로 설정하였고, 호흡수(RR)는 $PaCO_2$가 35~45 mmHg 사이에 유지되도록 조절하였다. 이후 30분마다 기계환기기의 설정을 protocol에 따라 변화시키면서 가스환기(gas ventilation; GV)를 시행하였는데 ; (1) 기저 설정 단계, (2) 역비환기 (inverse I: E ratio) 단계로 I:E ratio 2:1, (3) 고 PEEP 단계로 2단계와 같은 평균흡기압 (MIP)을 유지하는 정도의 PEEP 증가, (4) 고 $V_T$ 단계로 $V_T$ 15 mL/kg, (5) 고RR 단계로 4단계와 같은 분당환기량 (MV)을 유지하는 정도로 RR을 증가시켰다. 그 후 perfluorodecalin 18 mL/kg 주입 후 상기 protocol과 동일하게 PLV를 하였다. 각각에서 동맥혈가스검사와 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표를 측정하였다. 결 과 : (1) GV 시 $PaO_2$는 다섯 단계를 거치는 동안 의미 있는 변화를 보이지 않았다. $PaCO_2$는 고 $V_T$단계와 고 RR 단계에서 의미 있게 감소하였다(p<0.05). GV 시 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표의 의미 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다. (2) PLV 군의 기저 $PaO_2$는 $312{\pm}113$ mmHg로 GV군의 $504{\pm}81$ mmHg 에 비해 의미 있게 낮았다(p=0.001). PLV 시 역비환기 단계나 고 RR 단계에서는 기저설정 단계와 비교하여 $PaO_2$의 의미 있는 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, 고 PEEP 단계 ($452{\pm}38$ mmHg)와 고 $V_T$($461{\pm}53$ mmHg) 단계에서는 기저설정 단계보다 유의한 상승이 관찰되었다. (3) $PaCO_2$는 GV군과 PLV군 모두에서 고 $V_T$ 단계와 고 RR 단계에서 기저설정 단계보다 의미 있게 낮았다. PLV군의 기저설정 단계와 고 RR 단계의 $PaCO_2$는 GV 군보다 의미 있게 증가하였다(p<0.05). (4) PLV 시 폐역학 및 혈역학적 지표의 의미 있는 변화는 보이지 않았다 결 론 : 정상 폐에서 PLV 시 최적의 가스교환을 위해서는 적절한 PEEP과 $V_T$이 중용할 것으로 사료된다.

연구배경: 침습적 기계 호흡 이탈에 성공하여 기관내 관을 제거하였으나 48시간 이내에 급성 호흡 부전이 경우 또는 환자 스스로 기관내 관을 제거한 후 발생된 급성 호흡 부전은 이탈 실패의 중요한 원인이며, 발생시 기관내 관의 재삽관을 통한 호흡 보조가 표준적 치료이다. 비침습적 양압 환기법(noninvasive positive pressure ventilation이하 NIPPV)은 비 혹은 안면마스크를 통해 양압 환기를 시행하므로 기관내 삽관을 회피할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기계 호흡 이탈 후 기관내 관을 제거한 환자들에게 발생된 급성 호흡 부전 시 NIPPV 적용이 기관내 삽관을 통한 양압 환기 치료를 대체할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 대상은 아산 재단 서울 중앙병원 내과계 중환자실에 입원하여 기계적 환기 치료를 받고 이탈 과정에서 기관내 관 제거 후 48시간 이내에 급성 호흡 부전이 발생한 환자 21명 및 스스로 기관내 관을 제거한 후 급성 호흡 부전이 발생한 환자 7명과 기관내 관이 기도내 분비물로 막혀 기관내 관을 제거한 환자 2명등 총 31명에게 NIPPV를 적용하였다. NIPPV는 환자 상태에 따라 기계 환기 양식, 압력 보조 수준 및 흡입 산소의 양이 조절 되어졌으며, 압력 보조 8cm $H_2O$미만에서 임상적으로 안정된 상태를 유지하는 경우 완전히 NIPPV에서 이탈하였다. 성공군은 NIPPV 이탈후 48 시간 이상 자발 호흡을 유지한 경우로 정의하였고, 실패군은 NIPPV 시행 후 호흡 부전 소견이나 동맥혈 가스검사의 호전이 없어 다시 기관내 삽관을 시행하여 기계호흡을 시행한 환자로 정의하였다. 각 군에서 NIPPV적용 직전, 적용 후 30분, 6시간, 24시간, NIPPV 이탈 작전 또는 실패하여 기관내 재삽관으로 전환 직전의 심박동수, 분당 호흡수, 동맥혈 가스검사, 압력 보조 수준 및 호기말 양압등을 비교하였다. 결 과: 총 31명에서 NIPPV를 적용하였고, 이 중 성공군은 14명(45%)이었다. 성공군과 실패군을 비교 시 나이, 중환자실 입원 당시의 APACHE III 점수, 기관 내 삽관 기간, 기관내 관 제거 후 NIPPV적용시까지의 시간 및 NIPPV 시행 직전의 분당 호흡수, 심박동수, 동맥혈 가스검사, $PaO_2/FiO_2$ 등은 양군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 모든 환자에서 NIPPV적용 30분후부터 분당 호흡수 및 심박동수는 감소하였고 동맥혈 산소 포화도는 증가하였다.(p<0.05) 그러나, 실패군에서는 NIPPV 시행중에 상태가 악화되어 기관내 재삽관을 시행하였고, 재삽관 작전의 분당 호흡수 및 심박동수는 다시 증가하였으며 동맥혈 산소포화도는 감소하였다(p<0.05). 기저 질환이 COPD 이면서 기관내 관 제거 후 급성 호흡부전이 발생한 환자 8명에게 NIPPV 적용 시 COPD가 아닌 다른 환자들에 비해 NIPPV의 성공률이 의미 있게 높았다(62% 대 39%)(p=0.007). NIPPV를 이용한 이탈 시 실패의 원인으로는 기저 질환의 악화 없이 동맥혈 가스 소견이 악화되었던 예가 9예, 그 외 기저 질환 악화 5예, 마스크 부적응이 2예, 기도내 분비물 축적이 1예였다. 결 론: NIPPV는 침습적 기계 호흡이탈과정에서 특히 기저질환이 COPD인 환자들의 경우 기관내 관 제거 후 발생한 급성 호흡 부전 시 기관내 관의 재삽관을 피할 수 있는 유용한 치료적인 방법으로 사료된다.

본 논문은 관광이 기간산업인 호주 퀸즐랜드주를 대상으로 민간시큐리티 산업의 선진화 과정과 제도적 개선점 등에 대해 검토하였다. 90년대 중반을 기점으로 단계적으로 진행된 제1,2차 개혁과정의 검토를 통해 제도운영상의 종합적인 성과 및 개선사항을 점검하였으며, 사례분석을 통해 도출한 시사점은 Button(2012)과 Prenzler와 Sarre (2014)가 제시한 표준모델(Best Practice Model)에 대입하여 개선방안을 논의하였는데, 주요 내용은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 퀸즐랜드주는 연방정부의 시큐리티 사업자 규제 권고안을 충실히 이행하고 있으나 현장에서의 실시간 음주 약물 측정, 정신장애정도에 대한 감정, 경비 사업자 측근(close associates)에 대한 프로파일링 등과 같은 선제적 규제기법은 케이스-바이-케이스로 운용중이어서 보다 적극적인 쇄신이 요구된다. 둘째, 퀸즐랜드주 시큐리티 자문업 기계경비업자들의 경우 교육 훈련 과정 이수의 법적의무가 없어 자율준수로 운영되는 현행 커리큘럼의 의무화 방안 역시 재고되어야 한다. 마지막으로, 퀸즐랜드주 시큐리티사업자에 대한 현장관리감독은 관광특구에 크게 집중되어 있어 관리당국인 공정거래청(Fair Trading)에서 그 범위를 확대하는 등 능동적인 개입이 필요하다고 판단된다. 호주 시큐리티서비스 산업이 한국에 주는 의미 있는 시사점으로는 첫째, 교육훈련의 표준화 공인화와 같은 지속적인 제도정비 개선노력 둘째, 이 같은 시큐리티산업의 전략적 육성과 경쟁력 향상 도모를 통한 민 경 공조체계의 실효성 강화 등을 대표적으로 꼽을 수 있다. 국내에서는 사경비자격제도에 해당하는 산업보안관리사, 공인탐정사 등의 전문자격증이 정부산하 협회 혹은 민간단체 등에서 발급되는 관계로 일관성 신뢰성에 대한 문제가 제기되어 왔고 공신력 부여 방안에 대한 논의 또한 지속되어 온 것이 사실이다. 따라서 호주의 모범선행사례를 참조하여 자격제도 관리 운영의 노하우 활용방안에 대한 체계적 접근을 모색해 볼 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

Against the backdrop of the increasing trend towards economic globalisation, many international firms are indicating that decisions on how to enter foreign markets remains one of the key strategic challenges confronting them. Despite the rich body of literature on the topic, the fact that these challenges have continued to dominate global marketing strategy discourses point to someevident lacunae. Accordingly, this paper considers the variables, categorised in terms of firm contexts (standardisation, market research, competition, structure, competitive advantage) and host country-contexts (economic development, cultural differences, regulation and political risk), which influence the degree of involvement of UK companies in overseas markets. Following hypotheses were drawn from literature review: H1: The greater the level of competition, the higher the degree of involvement in the overseas market. H2: The more centralised the firm's organisation structure, the higher the degree of involvement in the overseas market. H3a: The adoption of a low cost-approach to competitive advantage will lead to a higher degree of involvement. H3b: The adoption of an innovation-approach to competitive advantage will lead to a higher degree of involvement. H3c: The adoption of a market research approach to competitive advantages will lead to a higher degree of involvement. H3d: The adoption of a breadth of strategic target-approach to competitive advantage will lead to a lower degree of involvement. H4: The higher the degree of standardisation of the international marketing mix the higher the degree of involvement. H5: The greater the degree of economic development in the host market, the higher the degree of involvement. H6: The greater the cultural differences between home and host countries, the lower the degree of involvement. H7: The greater the difference in regulations between the home country and the host country, the lower the degree of involvement. H8: The higher the political risk in the host country, the lower the degree of involvement. A questionnaire instrument was constructed using, wherever possible, validated measures of the concepts to serve the aims of this study. Following two sets of mailings, 112 usable completed questionnaires were returned. Correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data. Statistically, the paper suggests that factors relating to the level of competition, competitive advantages and economic development are strong in influencing foreign market involvements. On the other hand, unexpectedly, cultural factors (especially individualism/collectivism and low and high power distance dimensions) proved to have weak moderating effects. The reason for this, in part, is due to the pervading forces of globalisation and the attendant effect on global marketing. This paper has contributed to the general literature in a way that point to two mainimplications. First, with respect to research on national systems, the study may hold out some important lessons especially for developing nations. Most of these nations are known to be actively seeking to understand what it takes to attract foreign direct investment, expand domestic market and move their economies from the margin to the mainstream global economy. Second, it should be realised that competitive conditions remain in constant flux (even in mature industries and mature economies). This implies that a range of home country factors may be as important as host country factors in explaining firms' strategic moves and the degree of foreign market involvement. Further research can consider the impact of the home country environment on foreign market involvement decisions. Such an investigation will potentially provide further perspectives not only on the influence of national origin but also how home country effects are confounded with industry effects.

2010년까지 국내 논에서 설포닐우레아(sulfonylurea : SU)계 제초제들에 대한저항성잡초로 확인된 잡초들 1998년도에 충남서산 간척지 논에서 물옥잠이 확인이후 일년생 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등 7초종, 다년생 올미, 새섬매자기 등 다년생 잡초 3초종이 발생하여 총 10초종이다. 그리고 2009년 ACCase 및 ALS 저해제들에 대한 저항성 피가 담수직파 논의 서 남부지역에서 처음 확인되었다. 초기에는 SU계 제초제들에 대한 저항성잡초들인 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등은 하나의 논 필지에 하나의 초종들이 발생을 하였으나 최근에는 하나의 필지에 다수의 초종들이 동시적으로 발생하고 있다. 2008년도에 전국 861필지의 논에서 채취한 토양에서 발생하고 있는 물달개비 및 올챙이고랭이의 저항성 비율은 각각 42% 및 23%로 나타났다. 저항성잡초들의 생체중을 50% 억제한 농도($GR_{50}$)는 저항성 계통이 감수성 계통에 비해 수 십배에서 수 천배 높게 나타났다. ACCase 및 ALS 저해 제초제들인 cyhalofopbutyl, pyriminobac-methyl, penoxsulam 저항성 강피에 대한 저항성 계통의 $GR_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해 각각 14, 8, 11배나 높게 나타났다. 한국의 논에서 제초제 저항성의 다발생과 확산의 원인은 크게 잡초측면과 제초제 측면으로 구분할 수 있다. 잡초측면에서는 종자생산량과 발아율이 높은 잡초들 즉 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이 등이 저항성잡초로 변화한다. 그리고 제초제 측면은 저항성잡초 유발의 원인인 선택성이 탁월하고 약효지속성이 매우 긴 SU계 제초제들의 광범위한 사용이다. SU계 제초제들의 생산 품목들과 처리 논 면적의 비율은 각각 69%와 96%이다. 그리고 2003년까지 처리면적으로 본 선호도 10위까지 제초제들은 대부분 SU계 제초제들이 혼합된 "일발처리제"들이다. 직파재배 논에서 ACCase 및 ALS들이 혼합된 제초제들의 연용은 제초제 저항성 피를 유발하였고, 이는 피에 효과적인 SU계 제초제들인 pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 및 imazosulfuron과 무관하지 않다. SU계 제초제들에 대한 물옥잠의 저항성 계통의 $I_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해서 14배에서 76배 높았는데, 이는 제초제의 흡수 및 이행에 의한 차이보다는 ALS 유전자의 점 돌연변이(point mutation)에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 즉 ALS 유전자 아미노산 197번째 proline이 serine로 변화되었기 때문이다. 제초제 저항성잡초 방제로 benzobicyclone, bromobutide 등은 광엽 및 방동사니과 잡초들을 동시에 방제가 가능하다. 그리고 ACCase 및 ALS 저항성 피의 방제는 mefenacet, fentrazamide, cafenstrole로 2엽기까지 방제가 가능하다. 그러나 앞으로 국내 논에서 제초제 저항성잡초 및 관리에 대해서는 많은 문제점들을 내포하고 있다. 첫째, 현재까지 제초제 저항성 유발 약제들인 ALS 및 ACCase 저해제들의 사용량이 증가하기 때문에 제초제 저항성 잡초들은 계속 발생할 뿐만 아니라 더욱 빠른 속도로 확산할 것이다. 둘째, 미국, 유럽, 호주 등 선진국들과 같은 제초제 저항성잡초를 연구할 수 있는 전문 연구기관과 인력이 부족하다.

The expansion of air transport on a global scale with ever increasing traffic densities has brought about problems that must be solved through new multilateral mechanisms. Looking to the immediate future, air transport will require new forms of international cooperation in technical and economic areas. Air transport by its very nature should have been a counterforce to nationalism. Yet, the regulatory system in civil aviation is still as firmly rooted in the principle of national sovereignty as when it was first proclaimed at t-11e Paris Convention of 1919 and reaffirmed in the Chicago Convention. Sovereignty over the airspace has remained the cornerstone of relations between states in all respects of air transport. The importance of sovereignty over air space embodied in article 1 of the Chicago Conrenton also is responsible for restricting the authority of ICAO as an intergovernmental regulatory agency. The Orgenization, for all its extensive efforts, has only limited authority. ICAO sets standards but cannot enforce them; it devises solutions but cannot impose them. To implement its rules ICAO most rely not so much on legal requirements as on the goodwill of states. It has been forty-eight years since international community set the foundations of the international system in civil aviation action. Profound political, economic and technological changes have taken place in air transport. The Chicago Convention is living proof that staes can work together to make air transport a safe mode of travel. The law governing international civil auiation is principally based on international treaties and on other regulation agreed to by governments, for the most part through the mechanism of ICAO. The role of ICAO international standards and recommended practices and procedures dealing with a broad range of technical matters could hardly be overestimated. The organization's ability to develop these standards and procedures, to adapt them continuously to the rapid sate of change and development of air transport, should be particularly stressed. The role of ICAO in the area of the development of multilateral conventions on international air law has been successful but to a certain degree. From the modest starting-point of the Tokyo Convention, we have seen more adequate international instruments prepared within the scope of ICAO activities, adopted: the Hague Convention of 1970 for the suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft and the Montreal Convention of 1971 for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Civil Aviation. The work of ICAO in the new domain of international law conventions concerning what has been loosely termed above as the criminal problems connected with international air transport, in particular the problem of armed aggression against aircraft, should be positively appreciated. But ICAO records in the domain of developing a uniform legal system of international carriage by air are rather disappointing. The problem of maintaining and developing the uniformity of this regulation exceeds the scope of interest and competence of governmental transport agencies. The expectations of mankind linked to it are too great to give up trying to restore the uniform legal system of international air carriage that would create proper conditions for its further growth. It appears that ICAO has, at present, a good opportunity for doing this. The hasty preparation of ICAO draft conventions should be definitely excluded. Every Preliminary draft convention ought to be sent to Governments of all member-States for consideration, So that they could in form ICAO in due time of their observation. The problom of harmonizing a uniform law of international air carriage with that of other branches of international transport should demand more and more of its attention. ICAO cooperation with other international arganization, especially these working in the field of international transport, should be strengthened. ICAO is supposed to act as a link and a mediator among, at times the conflicting interests of member States, serving the happiness and peace of all of the world. The transformation of the contemporary world of developing international relations, stimulated by steadily growing international cooperation in its various dimensions, political, economic, scientific, technological, social and cultural, continuously confronts ICAO with new task.

전작물(田作物)에 대(對)한 가리비료(加里肥料)의 효과(效果)를 검토(檢討)하고 그 결과(結果)를 다음과 같이 요약(要約)하였다. 1. 작물(作物)의 종류별(種類別) 가리(加里)의 10a당(當) 평균(平均) 시비적량(施肥適量)은 각각(各各) 목초(牧草) 32, 채소(菜蔬) 22.5, 과수(果樹) 17.3, 서류(薯類) 13.3, 화곡류(禾穀類) 6.5kg이다. 최근(最近) 경제성장(經濟成長)과 더부러 목초(牧草), 채소(菜蔬) 및 과수(果樹)의 재배면적(栽培面積)이 급격(急激)히 증가(增加)하고 있어 영후(令後)의 가리비료(加里肥料) 수요(需要)는 크게 증대(增大)될 것이다. 2. 주요(主要) 전작물(田作物)에 대(對)한 평균(平均) 적정가리(適正加里) 시비량(施肥量)은 보리 6.5, 밀 6.9, 콩 4.5, 옥수수 8.1, 감자 8.9, 고구마 17.7kg/10a이다. 가리성분(加里成分) 1kg/10a당(當) 평균(平均) 증수량(增收量)은 화곡류(禾穀類)에서 4~5kg이고 서류(薯類) 46kg로서 수익성(收益生)은 서류(薯類)에서 높다. 3. 전국(全國)의 치환성(置換性) 가리(加理) 함량(含量)의 분포(分布)는 해안지대(海岸地帶) 특(特)히 남해안(南海岸)에서 높고 내륙지대(內陸地帶)에서 낮으며 산악지대(山岳地帶)는 그 중간(中間)이다. 도별(道別)로는 제주(濟州)>전남(全南)>강원(江原)>경남(慶南)의 순(順)이고 경북도(慶北道)에서 가장 낮다. 대 맥(大 麥) : 4. 월동맥류(越冬麥類에) 대(對)한 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效) 및 적량(適量)은 l차적(次的)으로 기온(氣溫)의 영향(影響)을 받으며 토양인자(土壞因子)는 제(第)2차적(次的)인 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 토양별(土壞別) 또는 토양검정(土壞檢定)에 따른 시비량(施肥量) 결정기준(決定基準)은 기존지대별(氣候地帶別)로 설정(設定)함이 합리적(合理的)일 것이다. 5. 고온(高溫)에서는 토양(土壞) 중(中)의 가리(加里)의 방출(放出)이 촉진(促進)되어 가리(加里)에서 시용효과(施用效果)와 시비적량(施肥適量)이 남부(南部)에서 적고 저온인 북부(北部)에서 높으나 시비(施肥) 인산(燐酸)은 고온에서 고정(固定)이 촉진(促進)되어 남부(南部)에서 시비적량(施肥適量)이 많으며 질소(窒素)는 온도요인(溫度要因)보다는 강수량(降水量)의 영향이 커서 강수량(降水量)이 많은 남부(南部)에서 시비적량(施肥適量)이 극히 높은 것으로 풀이되었다. 6. 도별(道別) 평균(平均) 가리비효(加里肥效)는 남부(南部)로 갈수록 떨어지는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 경북(慶北)만이 예외적(例外的)으로 높다. 경북(慶北)은 치환성(置換性) 가리함량(加里含量)이 가장 낮을 뿐 아니라 산간지역(山間地域)의 저온권 전작지대(田作地帶)가 많은 것이 원인(原因)인 것 같다. 7. 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)와 시비적량(施肥適量)은 연차별(年次別) 변이(變異)가 크다. 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)는 저온의 해에 컸고(평년(平年)의 2~3배(倍)) 조해(早害)와 습해(濕害)가 있었던 해에는 적었으며 시비적량(施肥適量)은 저온으로 동해(凍害)가 있었던 해보다는 조해(早害)와 습해(濕害)가 있었던 해에서 더욱 많다. 8. 모암별(母岩別) 치환성(置換性) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)은 결정편암(結晶片岩)>화강암(花崗岩)>수성암(水成岩)>현무암(玄武岩)의 순(順)이나 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)는 이와 반대(反對)의 순(順)이어서 모암별(母岩別) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)과 비효간(肥效間)에는 뚜렷한 역상관(逆相關)이 있다. 9. 모재별(母材別) 치환성(置換性) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)은 충적토(沖積土)>잔적토(殘積土)>홍적토(洪積土)>곡간충적토이며 가리비효(加里肥效)는 곡간충적토에서 만이 현저히 클 뿐 그 외(外)의 모재간(母材間)에 는 분명(分明)한 차이(差異)가 없다. 10. 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)와 적량(積量)은 토성(土性) 차이(差異)에 의(依)하여 크게 달라서 가리비효(加里肥效)는 사질(砂質)쪽에서 높고 가리적량(加里適量)은 식질(埴質) 쪽에서 높다. 특(特)히 사질(砂質)인 양토(壤土)와 사양토(砂壤土)에서는 적량(適量)을 초과(超過) 시비(施肥)했을 때 감수(減收)가 크다. 11. 가리시용(加里施用)에 의(依)해서 평균적(平均的)으로 출수일(出穗日)이 1.7일(日) 지연되고 간장(稈長)은 4.4cm가 증대(增大)되며 주당수수(株當穗數)(0.3)와 1,000립중(粒重) 및 저엽비율(租葉比率)이 증대(增大)된다. 콩 : 12. 콩의 가리비효(加里肥效)는 곡류작물(穀物作物) 중(中)에서 가장 적으나 신개간지(新開墾地)에서는 가리(加里) 8kg/10a 시용(施用)으로 자실중(子實重)이 28kg/10a까지 증수(增收)된다. 13. 모암별(母岩別) 가리비효(加里肥效)는 현무암(玄武岩)제주(濟州)>수성암(水成岩)>화강암(花崗岩) 및 석회암(石灰巖)의 순(順)이며 연차별(年次別) 변이폭(慶異幅)도 크다. 옥수수 : 14. 치환성(置換性) 가리함량(加里含量)이 많은 토양(土壞)에서는 옥수수의 가리비효(加里肥效)는 떨어지나 절대수량(絶對收量)이 높기 때문에 오히려 가리(加里)의 시비적량(施肥適量)은 가리함량(加里含量)이 높은 경우에 높다. 15. 옥수수에 대(對)한 가리비효(加里肥效)는 인산(燐酸)의 시비수준(施肥水準)과 교호작용(交互作用)이 인정(認定)되어 인산(燐酸)의 적량(適量) 시용하(施用下)에서 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)도 크고 적량(適量)도 높다. 서 류(薯類) : 16. 감자는 가리(加里)보다도 질소(窒素)의 요구량(要求量)이 더 많으며 이 때문에 감자가 스스로 토양가리(土壤加里)의 흡수능력(吸收能力)이 큰 것 같다. 17. 감자의 수량(收量)은 식양토(埴壤土) 보다는 사양토(砂壤土)에서 높고 치환성(置換性) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)이 높을수록 높다. 그러나 가리(加里)의 비효(肥效)는 사질토(砂質土)보다는 식양토(埴壤土)에서 높고 전토양(田土壤)보다는 답토양(畓土壤)과 같은 불량환경(不良環境) 조건(條件)에서 더욱 크다. 18. 고구마에서는 질소(窒素)와 인산(燐酸)의 요구량(要求量)은 비교적 낮고 흡비력(吸肥力)이 강(强)하여 불량토양(不良土壤)에서도 상당히 높은 수량(收量)을 얻을수 있으나 가리(加里)의 시비적량(施肥適量)과 시비효과(施肥效果)가 매우 크다는 것이 특징(特徵)이다. 19. 고구마에 대(對)한 가리(加里)의 시비효과(施肥效果)는 토성별(土性別)로 차이(差異)가 크며 치환성(置換性) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)이 낮은 사질토(砂質土)에서도 충분량(充分量)의 가리(加里)를 시용(施用)했을 때는 비효(肥效)가 크게 나타나 수량(收量)이 토양(壤土) 및 식양토(埴壤土)에 비하여 높아진다. 20. 신개간지(新開墾地)와 같이 척박한 토양(壤土)에서도 충분량(充分量)의 가리(加里)를 시용(施用)했을 때는 숙전(熟田)과 대등(對等)한 수량(收量)을 올릴 수 있다.

전례복의 전통을 고수하며 최상의 예술적 가치를 지닌 제의를 생산하는 Paderborn의 Wameling과 Cassau, 그리고 성모마리아 성지 순례지인 Kevelaer에 위치한 Kevelaerer Fahnen + Paramenten GmbH는 "Hidden Company"로 전유럽과 아프리카, 미국과 스칸디나비아 반도에 까지 널리 알려진 독일의 전례복기업으로 수 세기동안 종교적인 중심이 서 있던곳, 교회의 예식의 삶이 발전되어온 곳, 바로 그곳에서 계속해서 오늘날까지 예술의 수호자와 격려자로서의 모습을 굳건이 지켜나가고 있다. 이러한 3개 회사를 통하여 알아본 카톨릭 전례복은 다양한 모양과 색채, 형태와 기법을 사용하여 단순한 종교적 상징성을 넘어 미적인 화려함과 조형적인 조화로 현대직물예술, 미술의상, 그리고 디자인 전반에 활용이 기대되며, 신자들에게는 전례복에 대한 상징의 미와 조화에 대한 이해를 돕고, 비신자들로 하여금은 종교예술에 대한 의식과 관심이 정식적인 사고나 신앙심을 유발시키는데 중요한 영향을 끼치리라 본다. 전례복은 성직자가 미사. 성사. 집행. 행렬. 강복등의 모든 의식때 교회규정에 따라 입는 예복들을 총칭하는 말이다. 이러한 전례복은 무언의 언어로써 신성의 표현을 겉으로 드러낸것으로 세속인과 성직자를 구별해준다. 또 예식을 집행하는 사제의 몸짓과 동작, 언어를 뒷받침하여 전례의 뜻을 더욱 시각적으로 강하게 나타내 주고, 성직자로 하여금 성직의 직무에 더욱 충실할수 있도록 심리적영향도 준다. 이뿐만 아니라 전례복은 성직자의 지위와 권위를 나타내며 신자들로 하여금 성직자에 대한 위엄과 존경심을 불러 일으키고 전례복의 상징과 색체를 통해 전례의식의 기쁨과 슬픔을 심리적으로 공감하여 예식의 아름답고 신비스런 분위기를 창출하게 하므로 더 한층 신앙의 깊이를 부과시켜 준다. 전례복은 그리이스, 로마의 초상기 세속복이 종교적 경향을 띄면서 기독교 복식으로 자리 잡은 것으로, 313년 로마 Constantinus 황제에 의해 기독교가 공인되기 전까지는 세속인과 구별되는 특별한 제복은 없었다. 인간의 심리를 가장 잘 표현한 제의의 색채도 원래는 순수 흰색이었던 것이 12C 교황 Innocentius 3세에 의해 전례축일과 각 시기에 따라 특수한 색채를 사용하도록 규정되었으며, 현재의 전례복 색채의 상징적 의미는 교황 St. Pius (재위1566-1572)에 의해서 지니게 되었다. 장식과 소재도 초창기에는 대부분 모, 아마등이 사용되다가 4C부터 비단과 같은 특별한 소재가 사용되기 시작하였고 12C에는 금실로 직조된 화려한 소재가 사용되었다. 장식으로는 상징 문양의 자수, 직조, 아프리케의 견고하고 아름다운 장식이 널리 사용된다. 또 형태는 전통적으로 가장 널리 사용되어온 반원형의 풍성한 제의가 죄를 덮어주는 자비의 상징으로 오늘날 다시 유행하고 있다. 미래의 제의 형태도 결정적인 큰 변화는 없을 것으로 예측된다. 전례복의 발전은 계속해서 보수적인 교회의 명령에 의해 움직여질것이며 오늘날까지 변화해온 그 방식 그대로 각 시대의 문화와 시대정신, 복식의 유행에 따라 조금씩 변화의 과정을 거쳐 시대감각에 적합하도록 단순하고, 간편하게 변해갈 것이다. 사제의 수가 줄고 전례용품의 수요가 급격히 줄어들지도 모르는 판매 부진의 시기가 곧 닥쳐오게 될지도 모르는 상황속에서도 전례복기업들은 각기업의 전례복 차별화와 예술적 진보를 위해 끊임없이 다양한 문양, 자수기술 개발, 창조적인 형태의 디자인 실현을 통하여 세계속에서 초 일류기업으로 당당하게 경쟁할 능력을 준비하고 있다. 또 각기업은 예술가의 적극적인 관심과 참여의식을 유도하고, 전시회와 전속예술가를 위한 Atelier를 마련하며, 다른 회사의 전례복과 구별되는 직물의 생산을 위해 자가 직물공장을 세우거나, 한 회사만을 위하여 직물을 생산토록 독점계약을 맺는등 소재의 독창화와 예술적 가치에 심혈을 쏟고 있다. 또한 외국신문에 기업광고를 내고, 영업사원을 활성화하며, 고객의 철저한 사후 A.S를 실시하여 기업의 발전에 노력하고 있다. 또 각 교회에서는 전례복 자수협회를 창단하여 취미 자수가나 재봉인의 교류에도 힘쓰며 전례복 생산과 자수공예를 배우려는 사람들에게 지원과 격려를 아끼지 않는다. 이와 같은 기업, 예술가, 교회의 노력은 3회사의 미래가 밝을 것임을 충분히 알려준다. 우리나라에서도 기업의 다양한 기술개발과 연구, 예술가의 종교미술의 참여, 교회의 관심을 통하여 세계적으로 유명한 전례복 생산지가 되기를 기대해 본다.

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. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring.
