본 연구에서는 한국형 지하수 프로그램 개발(3-DFM, 3-Dimensional Finite Difference Method)을 위하여 대수층에 있어 지형 지질상태가 지하수유동시스템내에서 동적거동을 하는 것으로 취급하여 유동과정의 알고리즘을 확립토록 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 3-DFM모델은 입력변수 자료에 대한 설정이 모두 한글로 구성되어 있으며, 각 입력자료와 매개변수들의 이해와 적용치에 대한 도움말을 설정하여 두었다. 따라서, 입력변수에 대해서는 아이콘을 입력변수에 두면 각각에 대한 상세한 정보를 알 수 있도록 설계하였다. 또한, 각 지층의 지질경계 상태나 초기수위자료를 지정할 때는 work sheet상에서 간단히 지정할 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 그리고 각 대수층의 특성과 더불어 정류 및 부정류 해석시에 각 매개변수들에 대한 입력은 기존의 모델과 같이 복잡하지 않도록 활성칸이 설정되도록 설계되어 있다. 최종 입력자료를 이용한 분석결과에서는 우측에 입력자료에 대하여 설명과 더불어 좌측에 분석 결과치를 나타나게 하였으며 이에 대한 결과는 TXT파일로도 출력할 수 있도록 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델은 유한차분법을 이용한 수치모델이며, 실제 함양량을 적용하고 매개변수들을 결정하여 관측 지하수두치와 모의발생으로 얻은 계산 지하수두치를 비교 분석하여 개발모델의 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 세화리 및 송당리일대의 양수에 따른 지하수 유동시스템 해석을 위하여 3-DFM모델을 적용 분석한 결과, 정류상태에서 따른 관측치와 계산된 지하수두와의 상대오차백분율(E.P.)이 $0.03{\sim}0.07$의 범위로서 관측치와 거의 일치하였다. 그리고 분석유역의 양수 전의 모의발생분석 결과를 이용하여 지하등수두분포와 유속벡터를 산정한 결과 지하수 유동분포는 높은오름과 문석이오름 등에서 월랑봉, 용눈이오름 및 손자봉 등 각 방향으로 고르게 유출되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과는 MODFLOW모델과 비교할 때 일치된 결과를 나타내었다.

해양 심부 견인 전기비저항 탐사 방법이 새로이 개발되었다. 이 방법은 탄성파 반사법 탐사에서 잘 영상화 되지 않던 메탄 하이드레이트의 상부 경계를 찾아내기 위해 고안되었다. 이 장비는 하나의 송신기와 8개의 송신 전극들 및 한 개의 수신쌍극자를 갖는 160 m 연장의 긴 꼬리가 연구용 탐사선에 연결 되어 해저면 근처에서 끌리도록 만들어져 있다. 수치모형실험은 고안된 해양 전기비저항 탐사 방법이 메탄 하이드레이트 층의 상부를 효과적으로 잘 영상화함을 보여주었다. 실제 탐사는 메탄 하이드레이트가 노두로 관찰된 동해에 속해 있는 Joetsu의 먼바다에서 수행되었다. 대략 3.5 km에 달하는 탐사측선에 대하여 전기비저항 자료가 성공적으로 얻어 졌으며 상대적으로 높은 겉보기비저항 값들이 감지되었다. 특별히 메탄 하이드레이트가 들어나 있는 지역에서는 이상적으로 높은 겉보기비저항 값이 관측되었으며, 우리는 이 고겉보기비저항 값이 해저면 밑의 메탄 하이드레이트 지역에 의한 것으로 해석 하였다. 해양 전기비저항 탐사는 메탄 하이드레이트가 매장되어 있는 지역에서 해저면 하부를 잘 영상화 할 수 있는 새로운 도구가 될 것이다.

불규칙파에 의한 정온도 평가 시 주로 사용하는 Boussinesq 근사의 수치모형은 항의 개구부 폭이 약 30 m 내외의 좁은 마리나와 같은 소규모 항만에서는 격자 크기의 적용성 한계가 있고, 항 내로 진행하는 파의 회절에 대한 평가 시 정확한 정온도 평가가 어려울 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 정수면의 비정수압 항이 고려되어 해수면과 바닥층에서의 유속으로 계산하는 비선형 천수방정식 모형인 SWASH 모형(Zijlema and Stelling, 2005)을 사용하여 좁은 항의 개구부에서 정온도 평가의 적용성을 검토하였다. SWASH 모형은 구조물 및 지형에 입사하는 반사파 적용 시 수심과 공극율 계수 및 구조물 크기에 따라 부분 반사를 제어한다. 본 연구에서는 실제 구조물 단면 형태에 따른 구조물 전면에서의 반사파의 평가와 단면의 형태 및 구조물의 형태에 따라 반사율 적용성을 검토하였다. 항 내에 진입하는 회절 파랑에 의한 모델의 재현성을 평가하기 위해 구조물 직각 및 경사로 입사하는 영역을 구성하여 기존의 Goda et al.(1978)가 제시한 회절도 이론값과 비교하였다. 수심평균으로 계산된 단면 구조물 반사율 실험 결과는 Stelling and Ahrens(1981)이 제시한 반사율의 개략치와 유사한 반사율을 나타내며, 경계에서의 반사파의 제어와 구조물의 형상 및 지형에 따라 반사파가 잘 재현되는 것으로 판단된다. 회절도 검토 결과 파랑 진입 각도 및 회절파의 형태가 계산치가 이론값과 아주 유사하게 나타나지만, 경사 입사 및 직각 입사 모두 방향 집중도가 작은 경우 파고비가 0.5~0.6인 일부 구간에서 회절도가 저평가되는 것으로 나타났다.

경제 발전에 따라 레저, 해운, 수산, 국방, 해난사고 등 해양을 이용하는 활동이 증가하면서 해양예보에 대한 수요가 크게 증가하고 있다. 기상에서 해양의 역할이 새롭게 인식되면서 정확한 기상 및 기후변화를 예측하기 위한 해양 예측의 필요성도 증가하고 있다. 사회적인 요구와 관련 기술의 발전에 힘입어 선진국을 중심으로 해양예측시스템이 수립되어 왔다. 이 연구에서는 세계적으로 해양예측시스템을 발전시키고 확산시킨 국제협력프로그램 GODAE(Global Ocean Data Assimilation Experiment)의 진행과정과 기여를 정리하였다. 그리고 현재 해양예측시스템을 운용 중인 미국, 프랑스, 영국, 이탈리아, 노르웨이, 호주, 일본, 중국이 해양예측시스템을 구축하면서 세웠던 목적과 비전, 역사, 연구 동향을 조사하고 각 나라의 해양예측시스템 현황을 비교하였다. 우리보다 앞서 해양예측시스템을 구축하여 사용하고 있는 나라들이 취한 개발 전략의 특징은 다음과 같이 요약해 볼 수 있다. 첫째, 국가적인 역량을 집중하여 성공적인 현업 해양예측시스템을 구축하였다. 둘째, 국제적인 프로그램을 통해 선진 기술을 공유하고 상호 발전시켰다. 셋째, 각 기관의 역할과 고유 목적에 따라 기여분야를 나눠가졌다. 국내에서도 최근 현업 해양예측시스템에 대한 수요가 증대되고 있다. 기상청, 국립해양조사원, 국립수산과학원, 국방과학연구소의 해양예측시스템 개발에 관한 현재 상황과 향후 장기적 계획을 조사하였다. 국지 해양예측 또는 기후예측 모델을 위한 개방경계 초기장 제공이 가능한 광역의 정확도 높은 해양예측시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 국내의 유관 기관 간 협력 관계가 필수적이다. 이를 위해 관련 기관과 연구자들이 함께 참여하는 컨소시엄 형성이 바람직하다. 컨소시엄을 통해 경쟁력 높은 예측 모델과 시스템을 구축할 수 있으며, 제한된 재원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있고, 연구 개발 인력이 전문분야에 집중할 수 있으며, 중복 투자를 막고 각 기관은 고유 업무에 역량을 집중할 수 있다. 비록 해양예보에 있어 우리나라가 현 단계로는 국제적인 수준에 뒤쳐져 있지만, 각 유관 기관들이 고유 업무를 정립하고 국가적인 역량을 집중하여 현업 해양예측시스템을 공동 개발하면 곧 추격하여 해양예보 분야를 선도할 수 있을 것이다.

도로의 진출입로나 인터체인지에 널이 적용되고 있는 곡선교는 곡선반경, 사각 및 받침 간격 등에 따라 직선교보다 복잡한 거동을 나타낸다. 특히 상부구조물의 휨과 비틀림에 의해 솟음현상이 발생할 수 있고, 예각부 받침에는 부반력이 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 곡선교에서 교량의 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 부반력에 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 RAMP에 적용 가능한 지간(L)이 50m인 단경간의 강박스거더 곡선교를 대상으로 3차원 격자구조 모델을 이용하여 해석적인 방법으로 지점반력을 산출하였다. 부반력은 교량의 평면형상, 구조계의 형성, 받침의 조건 등에 의해 그 크기가 결정 되므로 매개변수는 곡선반경, 사각 및 받침간격으로 하였으며, 도로교설계기준에 제시된 하중조합에 의해 발생되는 반력의 크기를 계산하였다. 수치해석한 결과에 의하면 부반력은 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 작을수록 크게 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며, 사각 $60^{\circ}$ 일때 곡선반경 250m 이하에서는 받침간격에 관계없이 항상 부반력이 발생하였고, 사각 $75^{\circ}$일 때 곡선반경 180m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.27 이하, 곡선반경 250m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.32 이하에서 부반력이 발생하지 않았으며, 사각 $90^{\circ}$ 일 때 곡선반경 130m에서는 ${\theta}/B$가 0.38 이하 일 때와 곡선반경이 180m 이상일 때 부반력이 발생하지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 설계변수인 곡선반경, 받침간격 및 사각이 곡선교에서 부반력 발생과 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였고, 곡선교의 설계시 설계변수들의 상호관계를 적절히 설정하면 부반력이 발생하지 않는 구조계로 설계가 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 항아리 형태 젊은 초신성 잔해의 동력학을 설명하기 위해 분출물의 동력학적 효과를 고려하였다. 분출물과 성간 물질 사이에 존재하는 접촉불연속면에서 레일라-테일러(R-T)불안정에 기인한 자기장의 증폭호과가 고려되었다. 우주선 입자의 가속을 가정함으로서 합성전파 모형을 만들 수 있었으며 관측과의 비교를 위해 방위각을 따른 전파세기의 비(A)를 계산하였다. R-T불안정의 결과로 자란 가지의 경계면에서 압축, 전단, 인장의 결과로 충격파 후면의 자기장은 증폭되었다. 불안정의 시간에 따른 변화는 분출물의 감속에 민감하게 의존하며 초신성 잔해의 진화와 밀접히 관계됨을 볼 수 있었다. 자기장의 세기는 초기에 급격히 증가하며 역 충격파가 분출물의 등밀도지역으로 들어감에 따라 감소되었다. 그러나 이와 같은 초기 자기장 증폭의 효과는 초신성 잔해의 후기까지 남아 있음을 볼 수 있었다. 증폭된 자기장 영역에서 적도지역과 극지역의 자기장의 세기의 비는 최대 7.5까지 이를 수 있었다. 이와 같은 자기장의 증폭은 방위각에 따라 매우 큰 전파세기의 비를 만들 수 있었다(A=15). 증폭된 자기장의 세기는 수치계산의 분해능에 매우 민감함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 우주선 입자의 가속효과가 자기장과 충격파 면이 이루는 각도에 의존한다는 가정 없이도 자기장의 증폭효과가 관측된 항아리 형태의 젊은 초신성 잔해를 만들 수 있음을 보였다. 그러나 이와 같은 기작이 효과적이기 위해서는 초신성 잔해 주위의 자기장이 잘 정열되어 있어야 한다. 항아리 형태의 젊은 초신성잔해의 수가 적게 관측되는 것은 이와 같은 조건이 성간에서 잘 이루어지지 않음을 의미한다.OH radical의 생성이 활발해져, $CH_4$의 소멸이 촉진되었을 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 전체 $CH_4$의 일평균 농도를 이용한 장주기적 추세에 대한 분석결과에 따르면, 국내의 두 관측지점들(무안, 태안)에서는 수일 주기의 농도 변화가 급격하게 이루어졌지만, 뚜렷한 계절적 주기는 발견하기가 어려웠다. 그런데 국외의 관측지점들에서는, 계절적 주기의 변화가 상대적으로 뚜렷하고 규칙적인 양상을 보여주었다. 지역별 $CH_4$ 농도간의 상관분석을 실시한 결과, 국내 두 지점들 간에는 양의 상관관계, 무안지역과 북반구의 관측점들과는 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 반면 남반구에 위치한 관측점들과는 양의 상관관계를 확인 할 수 있었다. $CH_4$ 농도의 장주기적 변화경향을 분석하기 위해, 단순회귀분석을 실시한 결과, $CH_4$ 농도의 증가율이 무안과 태안 지역에서 각각 연간 16.5, 14.8 ppb로 가장 높게 관측되었다. 관측점 주변에 복잡한 배출원의 작용이 가능하다는 점을 감안하여, 무안지역의 $CH_4$ 농도변화와 풍향과의 연계성을 비교해 보았다. 이 결과에 의하면, 동풍계열의 풍계가 나타날 때 고농도의 값이 나타났으며, 청정한 공기가 유입되는 남서풍의 풍계시에는 비교적 낮은 $CH_4$ 농도가 유지되었다. 이처럼 $CH_4$의 장주기적 분포특성은 연구대상지역의 복잡한 배출${\cdot}$소별작용과 연계되어 매우 다양하고 독특한 형태를 띠고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD) 모델을 이용한 수치 모의에서 춘천시 약사지구 도시 재정비 사업에 의한 약사천 복원과 아파트 단지 건설이 주변 지역의 오염물질 농도에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 사업에 의한 영향을 비교하기 위해 도시재정비 사업 전과 후인 2011년과 2017년의 지형 자료를 이용하여 바람장과 오염물질 농도장을 모의하였다. 수치 실험에서 아파트 단지 건설의 영향과 하천 복원의 효과를 구분하여 분석하도록 시나리오를 구성하였다. 대상 지역의 평균적인 배경 바람장을 반영하기 위해 춘천 종관기상관측소(ASOS)의 풍향 및 풍속 자료를 유입 경계 조건으로 사용하고, 모의 결과를 유입 풍향의 8방위별 빈도에 따라 가중평균하였다. 시나리오 간 건물·지형 변화에 따른 풍속과 NO_X 농도 분포의 차이를 비교하였다. 그 결과 주변 도로에서 배출된 NO_X 농도는 아파트 단지 건설에 의해 증가하였으며, 아파트 단지 건설과 하천 복원을 함께 고려한 결과에서는 증가 폭이 감소하였다. 이를 지점별로 나누어볼 때, 복원한 하천 주변으로는 NO_X 농도가 감소하는 한편, 건설한 아파트 단지 주변으로는 농도가 크게 증가하였다. 아파트 단지 주변의 NO_X 농도 증가는 풍향을 기준으로 아파트 단지의 후면에 위치한 곳에서 더욱 뚜렷하였으며, 그 영향은 건물 높이까지 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통해 사업 대상 지역의 주풍향에 대한 아파트 단지 건설과 하천 복원의 상대적인 배치가 주변 대기질을 결정하는 주요 요소임을 확인하였다.

NATM 터널의 갱구부와 갱내의 연약층 구간에는 굴착 보조공법으로 대부분 강관이나 유리섬유보강(Fiber-glass Reinforced Plastic)관에 의한 그라우팅공법이 적용되고 있다. RPUM이나 UAM으로 알려져 있는 이러한 공법으로 굴착전 막장면 천단을 선보강하여 굴착 시 주변지반의 안정을 확보할 수 있다. 특히 지반이 연약하여 자립이 어려운 경우 최근에는 막장면 천단 뿐 아니라 막장면 수평보강을 실시하여 터널 및 주변지반의 안정성을 확보하는 추세에 있다. 이러한 막장면 천단 및 수평보강 형태에 따른 보강효과는 현재 일부 수치해석적 방법과 실내 축소모형실험에 의해 연구된 바 있으나, 이러한 연구들은 복잡한 경계조건을 필요로 할 뿐 아니라 실제 터널굴착 및 보강단계를 적절히 모사할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실제 RPUM시공을 재현하는 실대형 모형실험을 행하였다. 본 실험은 대형 토조를 제작하고 단계별 굴착과 상재하중을 재하하여 사질토지반 내 터널 천단보강 및 막장면 수평보강형태(무보강, 천단보강, 천단보강+막장면 수평보강, 막장면 수평보강)에 따른 막장면 주변지반 보강효과를 살펴보았다. 실험결과, 막장면 수평보강만으로도 주변지반 침하와 터널 반경방향 변위에 대한 상당한 억제효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 굴진방향과 평행한 종방향의 연직응력 변화를 측정한 결과 막장면 전방 $0.5D{\sim}1.0D$ 지반에 응력이 집중되어 막장면 선행보강의 필요성이 입증되었다. 천단보강재인 FRP관의 축력과 휨모멘트를 측정한 결과 대부분이 막장면으로부터 0.75D 위치에서 최대값이 측정되어 천단보강재 최소길이는 1.0D이상이 되어야 할 것이다. catalase와 peroxidase는 SOD나 APX는 달리 단일 밴드 또는 주요 밴드가 있고 높은 활성을 보여 정제시 유리하게 작용할 것으로 보인다. prospects will be also discussed.behaviors to ferromagnetic behavior was observed. Tunneling barrier called "decay length for tunneling" for the films having the thickness of Co layer from 1.4 to 1.6 nm was measured to be ranged from 0.004 to 0.021 ${\AA}$$\^$-1/.문에 기업간 관계를 연구하는 측면에서는 탐험적 연구성격이 강하다. 더 나아가 본 산업의 주된 연구가 질적이고 기업내부만을 연구했던 것에 비교하면 시초적이라고 할 수 있다. 또한 관계마케팅, CRM 등의 이론적 배경이 되고 있는 신뢰와 결속의 중요성이 재확인하는 결과도 의의라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 신뢰는 양사 간의 상호관계에서 조성될 수 있는 특성을 가진 반면, 결속은 계약관계 초기단계에서 성문화하고 규정화 할 수 있는 변수의 성격이 강하다고 할 수가 있다. 본 연구는 복잡한 기업간 관계를 지나치게 협력적 측면에서만 규명했기 때문에 많은 측면을 간과할 가능성이 있다. 또한 방법론적으로 일방향의 시각만을 고려했고, 횡단적 조사를 통하고 국내의 한 서비스제공업체와 관련이 있는 컨텐츠 공급파트너만의 시각을 검증했기 때문에 해석에서 유의할 필요가 있다. 또한 타당성확보 노력을 기하였지만 측정도구 면에서 엄격한 개발과정을 준수하지는 못했다

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.

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.
