  • 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. 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.

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.

  • 본 연구는 축산폐수 중 COD$_{Cr}$을 응집공정 후 Photo-Fenton 공정에 의해 산화분해 최적조건 및 제거 예측식에 수립에 관한 연구이다. 본 연구는 축산폐수 중 COD$_{Cr}$에 대한 Photo-Fenton 산화반응을 이용하여 이들 분해특성을 2차원 반응모델로 추정하기 위해 중심합설계법 대안으로 많이 사용되고 있는 박스-벤켄법(Box-Behnken method)을 이용하였다. 최적조건 수립을 위한 입력변수, 즉 3가지 변수(Fe(II)(x$_1$), $H_2O_2(x_2)$, pH(x$_3$)) 등을 램덤화, 반복화 및 블록화 원리에 따라 실험설계하여 반응값에 대한 예측식을 수학적으로 산출하였다. 수학적 및 통계적으로 산출된 예측식은 Y = 79.3 + 15.61x$_1$ - 7.31x$_2$ - 4.26x$_3$ - 18x$_1{^2}$ - 10x$_2{^2}$ - 11.9x$_3{^2}$ + 2.49x$_1x_2$ - 4.4x$_2x_3$ - 1.65x$_1x_3$와 같이 얻을 수 있었고 COD$^{Cr}$ 제거율(%)의 실측치에 대한 예측치의 적합도(goodness of fit) 검증시 결정계수(coefficient of determination: R$^2$) 0.96으로 에측식을 충분히 설명할 수 있었다. 예측 모형에 대한 최소제곱추정법으로 적합된 반응표면에서 1차 선형항(linear term)은 Fe(II)(x$_1$), $H_2O_2(x_2)$, 그리고 pH(x$_3$)은 상승작용(synergistic effect)으로 반응모델에 유의한 차이를 보였으며(p < 0.001) 그러나 교호항(cross-product term)은 $H_2O_2$ $\times$ pH(x$_2x_3$)와 순수이차항(quadratic terms)의 Fe(II) $\times$ Fe(II)(x$_1{^2}$), $H_2O_2$ $\times$ H$_2O_2$(x$_2{^2}$) 그리고 pH $times$ pH(x$_3{^2}$) 등은 대립적인(감쇠)(antagonistic effect) 작용으로 반응모델에 유의한 차이를 보였다(p < 0.01). 반응 모델에 대한 예측식 수립 후 COD$_{Cr}$ 제거율(%)의 최적조건을 도출하기 위해 정준분석(canonical analysis)와 능선분석(ridge analysis)에 이용한 결과 반응값(결과값: Y)은 84 $\pm$ 0.95%, COD$_{Cr}$ 최적처리를 위한 변수들의 조건은 Fe(II)(X$_1$) = 0.0146 mM, $H_2O_2$(X$_2$) = 0.0867 mM 그리고 pH(X$_3$) = 4.704 등의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 이들 최적조건을 이용하여 재현성을 통한 모델검증 결과 높은 신뢰성을 보였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 UV-A 조사를 통해 titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), hydroxyapatite(HAP)와 germanium(Ge)의 다양한 복합촉매를 통한 항생제(lincomycin, LM)의 광촉매 제거를 조사하였다. 우선, 다양한 복합촉매의 향상된 광촉매능을 비교하였고, 도출된 제거효율은 $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$ > $TiO_2/Ge$ > $TiO_2/HAP$ 순으로 관찰되었다. $TiO_2/HAP/Ge$의 조성은 반응표면법의 하나인 혼합물분석(mixture analysis)에 기초하여 통계적 방안이 수행되었다. 각 인자별 6개의 조건을 포함하도록 설정한 독립변수 $TiO_2(X_1)$, HAP($X_2$)와 Ge($X_3$)의 LM($Y_1$)과 TOC($Y_2$) 제거에 대한 영향을 살펴보았다. 분산분석(ANOVA)의 회귀분석항은 유의한 p값(p<0.05)과 높은 결정계수 값($R^2$ of $Y_1=99.28%$ and $R^2$ of $Y_2=98.91%$)을 나타냈다. 등고선도와 반응곡선을 통해 UV-A 조사조건에서 $TiO_2$/HAP/Ge 조성에 따른 LM의 제거를 나타냈다. TOC($Y_2$) 제거를 기준으로 도출된 최적조성비는 코드화 값으로 $X_1=0.6913$, $X_2=0.2313$$X_3=0.0756$으로 나타났다. 실제 적용에 따른 비교 실험 결과는 LM과 TOC의 평균제거율이 각각 99.2%와 49.3%로 나타나 모델의 예측과 잘 부합하였다.

  • [ $TiO_2/UV$ ] system에서 azo dye 중 반응성 염료의 광촉매 산화분해에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 광촉매 산화공정은 다양한 인자에 의해 영향을 받으며 이런 인자들의 산화반응에서 효과 및 특성을 파악하고 예측식 모형을 추정하기란 매우 힘든 작업이다. 따라서 본 연구는 실험계획법 중 박스-벤켄법(Box-Behnken method)을 이용하여 2인자 3수준의 실험디자인으로 최적의 산화조건을 찾기 위한 실험을 수행한 결과는 다음과 같다. 본 실험에서 색도 제거율($Y_1$)의 반응모형에 가장 크게 영향을 끼치는 항은 주 효과(선형효과)와 교차항으로 나타났고 그 중 $x_2$(dye concentration)가 가장 민감하게 반응모형에 영향을 받는 것으로 확인되었다. $COD_{Cr}(Y_2)$의 반응모형의 경우 $Y_1$의 모형과 마찬가지로 주 효과(선형효과) 및 교차항이 모델의 생성에 가장 중요한 모수로 작용하였지만 $Y_1$와 달리 $x_1(TiO_2)$$x_2$(dye concentration) 모두 반응 모형에서 민감하게 서로 상호작용하며 영향을 주었다. 최적의 산화조건을 찾기 위해 정준분석 중 능선분석을 수행한 결과 $Y_1:(X_1,\;X_2)$=(1.11 g/L, 51.2 mg/L), $Y_2:(X_1,\;X_2)$=(1.42 g/L, 72.83 mg/L)의 결과를 얻을 수 있었고 모형의 검증결과 매우 높은 신뢰성을 보였다.

  • Sulfur-Iodine cycle (SI cycle)은 요오드와 황을 첨가하여 최종적으로 물을 열화학적으로 분해하여 산소와 수소를 생산하는 공정으로 황산분해, 요오드화 수소 분해, 분젠반응 등 세가지 반응들로 이루어져 있다. 분젠 반응은 두가지 공정 중간에 존재하므로 두 반응에 필요한 화학물을 조달하는 역할로 이에 대한 상분리 및 반응기에 대한 분석이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 50 L/hr 수소를 생산하는 pilot scale의 Sulfur-Iodine Cycle 중 분젠 공정에 대한 모사, 민감도 분석, 민감도 분석을 토대로한 각각 상분리기와 분젠 반응기에 대한 최적 조건을 제시하였다. 열역학 물성치의 계산을 위해 Electrolyte Non-Random Two Liquid (ELECNRTL) model 사용하였다. 모델에 대한 신뢰도 확보를 위해서 실제 pilot scale의 공정 데이터와 검증을 수행하였다. 반응기의 종류를 선정하기 위해 Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR)과 Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) 동일한 온도 및 부피 변화에서 SO2 전환율을 비교하였다. 상분리기 선정을 위해 3상 분리 시스템(기체-액체-액체)과 액체-기체 분리 후 액체-액체 구조에서 H2SO4 상과 HIX 상에서의 불순물들을 비교하였다. PFR에서 온도, 지름, 길이를 결정 변수로 SO2 전환율을 최대화 하기 위한 최적화를 수행하였는데, 온도 121 ℃와 PFR의 지름이 0.20 m 및 길이 7.6 m 일 때 SO2 전환율이 98% 최적 결과임을 확인하였다. 기존 pilot scale과 동일한 운전 조건 하에 PFR의 지름 3/8 inch, 길이 3.0 m, 120 ℃ 일 때 인입 몰량인 I2 및 H2O를 결정 변수로 SO2 전환율에 대한 최적화를 수행하였을 때, SO2 전환율이 10% 일때 H2O 및 I2 의 인입 몰량은 각각 17%와 22%로 감소하였다. 앞선 조업 조건 최적화 조건 (121 ℃, 지름 0.20 m, 길이: 7.6 m) 경우에는 SO2 전환율이 98% 일 때 H2O가 1% 그리고 I2가 7% 감소하였다. 상분리기에서 HIX 상내 H2SO4 최소화하는 목적함수에서 그에 상응하는 온도, I2와 H2O를 결정 변수로 설정하였을 때, H2O 몰량이 기존공정보다 17% 감소하고 I2 몰량이 24% 감소하였을 때 최소 불순물이 생성하였다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 저에너지 비육돈사료가 ‘고체중’ 출하돈의 사료효율, 성장효율 및 도체특성에 미치는 영향을 구명하여 고체중 출하돈용 사료의 적정 에너지 수준을 유추하고자 함이었다. 생체중 약 90kg의(Yorkshire × Land- race) × Duroc 교잡종 암퇘지와 거세돼지 총 160두를 16돈방에 임의로 배치하여 저에너지사료(3,200kcal DE/kg) 혹은 대조사료(3,400kcal)를 무제한으로 급여하고 성별로 각각 135 & 125kg에 도살하여 도체를 분석하였다[2(성) × 2(사료) ‘factorial’ 실험설계]. 일당증체량, 일당사료섭취량 및 사료효율은 두 성 혹은 사료 구간 차이가 없었다. 등지방두께는 암퇘지에서는 저에너지사료 구(22.4mm)가 대조사료 구(24.3mm)보다 낮았으나(P<0.05), 거세돼지(24.4±0.4mm)에서는 두 사료 구간 차이가 없었다. 암퇘지는 ‘과체중’ 문제로 인하여 90% 이상 C & D 도체등급 판정을 받은 반면 거세돼지는 A + B 등급과 C + D 등급을 각각 79% 및 21% 받았다. 총부분육 중량 대비 개별 부분육 비율은 두 성 혹은 사료 구간 차이가 없었다. 배최장근의 색깔(명도 및 적색도), pH, 육즙삼출율 및 화학적 조성을 포함한 이화학적 특성은 총괄적으로 정상도체의 범주에 속하였고 두 성 혹은 사료 구간 차이가 없었다. 이상을 종합하면 본 실험에 쓰인 저에너지사료와 대조사료는 모두 고체중 비육후기 돼지 사료로 적합할 것으로 판단된다. 만일 주어진 축군에서 사료를 통하여 지방침적을 억제할 필요가 있을 경우는 사료의 에너지 수준을 3,200kcal DE/kg 수준 이하로 낮춰야 할 것이다.

  • 본 연구는 아파트 조경공간에 다층식재기법을 적용하기 위한 기초단계 연구로서, 교목중심의 단층구조 식재지역에 관목이 건강하게 생육할 수 있는 최적의 식재지반을 선정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 2019년 5월부터 10월까지 농촌진흥청 국립원예특작과학원 시험포장에서 실험을 실시하였다. 식재지반은 멀칭재, 원예용 상토, 바텀애시, 현장토를 활용해 8가지 처리구 6반복 조성하였다. 실험식물은 아파트 조경용 관목으로 선호도가 높은 장미(Rosa hybrid 'Barkarole')와 수국(Hydrangea macrophylla 'Nikko Blue')으로 선정하였다. 토양재료의 화학성은 농촌진흥청 토양화학분석 기준에 따라 분석하였으며, 처리구 간 유의성은 SAS7.1을 활용해 Two-way ANOVA 분석을 실시하였다. 식재지반별 장미와 수국의 초장, 분지수, 엽장, 엽폭, 피복면적의 변화를 분석하였다. 분석결과 장미는 "원예용 상토 20 cm" 조합과 "멀칭 3 cm, 원예용 상토 20 cm, 바텀애쉬 10 cm"의 조합에서 생장이 우수한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 그중 "원예용 상토 20 cm"에서는 초장 102.2±5.8 cm, 분지수 5.5±0.6개, 엽장 10.9±1.0 cm, 엽폭 6.2±0.5 cm, 피복면적 4077.1±416.6cm2로 우수한 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 수국은 "멀칭 3 cm, 원예용 상토 20 cm", "원예용 상토 20 cm" 조합과 "원예용 상토 20 cm, 바텀애쉬 10 cm"의 조합에서 생장이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 초장 43.6±2.1 cm, 분지수 4.9±0.8개, 엽장 7.2±0.5cm, 엽폭 4.3±0.3cm, 피복면적 344.5±43.2 cm2인 "원예용 상토 20 cm"의 조합에서 생장이 우수하였다. 본 연구는 통해 아파트 다층식재를 위해서는 최소 20 cm 이상 경운한 뒤에 육성토양층에 원예용상토를 충전하여 식재할 것은 제안하였다. 이러한 기준은 향후 아파트 화단 리모델링 사업에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
