The study examines the relationships among employee's goal orientation, IT personnel competency, personal effectiveness. The goal orientation includes learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Personal effectiveness consists of personal work satisfaction and personal work performance. In general, IT personnel competency refers to IT expert's skills, expertise, and knowledge required to perform IT activities in organizations. However, due to the advent of the internet and the generalization of IT, IT personnel competency turns out to be an important competency of technological experts as well as employees in organizations. While the competency of IT itself is important, the appropriate harmony between IT personnel's business capability and technological capability enhances the value of human resources and thus provides organizations with sustainable competitive advantages. The rapid pace of organization change places increased pressure on employees to continually update their skills and adapt their behavior to new organizational realities. This challenge raises a number of important questions concerning organizational behavior? Why do some employees display remarkable flexibility in their behavioral responses to changes in the organization, whereas others firmly resist change or experience great stress when faced with the need to alter behavior? Why do some employees continually strive to improve themselves over their life span, whereas others are content to forge through life using the same basic knowledge and skills? Why do some employees throw themselves enthusiastically into challenging tasks, whereas others avoid challenging tasks? The goal orientation proposed by organizational psychology provides at least a partial answer to these questions. Goal orientations refer to stable personally characteristics fostered by "self-theories" about the nature and development of attributes (such as intelligence, personality, abilities, and skills) people have. Self-theories are one's beliefs and goal orientations are achievement motivation revealed in seeking goals in accordance with one's beliefs. The goal orientations include learning goal orientation, performance approach goal orientation, and performance avoid goal orientation. Specifically, a learning goal orientation refers to a preference to develop the self by acquiring new skills, mastering new situations, and improving one's competence. A performance approach goal orientation refers to a preference to demonstrate and validate the adequacy of one's competence by seeking favorable judgments and avoiding negative judgments. A performance avoid goal orientation refers to a preference to avoid the disproving of one's competence and to avoid negative judgements about it, while focusing on performance. And the study also examines the moderating role of work career of employees to investigate the difference in the relationship between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness. The study analyzes the collected data using PASW 18.0 and and PLS(Partial Least Square). The study also uses PLS bootstrapping algorithm (sample size: 500) to test research hypotheses. The result shows that the influences of both a learning goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.301, t = 3.822, P < 0.000) and a performance approach goal orientation (${\beta}$ = 0.224, t = 2.710, P < 0.01) on IT personnel competency are positively significant, while the influence of a performance avoid goal orientation(${\beta}$ = -0.142, t = 2.398, p < 0.05) on IT personnel competency is negatively significant. The result indicates that employees differ in their psychological and behavioral responses according to the goal orientation of employees. The result also shows that the impact of a IT personnel competency on both personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.395, t = 4.897, P < 0.000) and personal work performance(${\beta}$ = 0.575, t = 12.800, P < 0.000) is positively significant. And the impact of personal work satisfaction(${\beta}$ = 0.148, t = 2.432, p < 0.05) on personal work performance is positively significant. Finally, the impacts of control variables (gender, age, type of industry, position, work career) on the relationships between IT personnel competency and personal effectiveness(personal work satisfaction work performance) are partly significant. In addition, the study uses PLS algorithm to find out a GoF(global criterion of goodness of fit) of the exploratory research model which includes a mediating variable, IT personnel competency. The result of analysis shows that the value of GoF is 0.45 above GoFlarge(0.36). Therefore, the research model turns out be good. In addition, the study performs a Sobel Test to find out the statistical significance of the mediating variable, IT personnel competency, which is already turned out to have the mediating effect in the research model using PLS. The result of a Sobel Test shows that the values of Z are all significant statistically (above 1.96 and below -1.96) and indicates that IT personnel competency plays a mediating role in the research model. At the present day, most employees are universally afraid of organizational changes and resistant to them in organizations in which the acceptance and learning of a new information technology or information system is particularly required. The problem is due' to increasing a feeling of uneasiness and uncertainty in improving past practices in accordance with new organizational changes. It is not always possible for employees with positive attitudes to perform their works suitable to organizational goals. Therefore, organizations need to identify what kinds of goal-oriented minds employees have, motivate them to do self-directed learning, and provide them with organizational environment to enhance positive aspects in their works. Thus, the study provides researchers and practitioners with a matter of primary interest in goal orientation and IT personnel competency, of which they have been unaware until very recently. Some academic and practical implications and limitations arisen in the course of the research, and suggestions for future research directions are also discussed.

비닐하우스 재배농민들이 일반농민에 비해 신체증상 호소율이 더 높은 지 조사해 보기 위해 경상북도 성주군의 6개면 지역에서 무작위로 추출된 비닐하우스 재배농민 250명과 일반농민 142명을 대상으로, 일반적 특성, 농작업양상 그리고 농부증의 각 증상에 대한 호소빈도에 대해 1993년 7월 5일부터 10일까지 6일간에 걸쳐 면담조사와 혈압측정을 하였다. 비닐하우스 재배농민이 일반농민에 비해 평균 연령이 적었고, 동거 가족수가 많았고, 농사경력은 짧았으며, 연평균 일일 노동시간과 연간 노동일수가 많았고 연간 가구당 평균 수입이 약 2.6배 많았다(p<0.01). 조사기간인 1993년 6월 한 달에 비닐하우스 재배농민은 농약을 평균 3.4회 살포하여 일반농민보다 약 1.7배 더 많이 살포했고, 년간 16회 이상 살포하는 것으로 나타났으며, 최근 한 달간 농약살포후 중독 경험률은 비닐하우스 재배농민 가운데 39.6%나 되어 일반농민의 25.4% 보다 더 많았다. 농부증 8개 증상 중 비닐하우스 재배농민과 일반농민 남녀가 공통적으로 가장 많이 호소하는 증상은 요통, 수족감각둔화, 어깨결림, 그리고 어지러움이었다. 농부증 양성률은 비닐하우스 재배농민 남자 22.1%, 여자 43.4%, 일반농민 남자 23.2%, 여자 50.7% 로 비닐하우스 재배농민과 일반농민 간에는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으나 여자들이 남자에 비해 농부증 양성률이 약 2배 더 높았고, 다중 지수형 회귀분석으로 다른 요인의 효과를 조정했을 때는 3.0배 더 높았다(p<0.01). 두 농작업군 모두에서 연령이 증가할수록 농부증 양성률이 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 1세 증가시 농부증 위험도는 3% 증가하였다(p<0.05). 또 최근 한 달간 농약살포 후 중독을 경험했던 농부들이 경험하지 않았던 농부들에 비해 농부증 위험도는 3.7배 였다(p<0.01). 고혈압 유소견율은 일반농민 남녀 각각 22.4%, 13.7%로 비닐하우스 재배농민의 13.5%, 12.0% 에 비해 높게 나타났으며, 고혈압과 농부증 사이에 일정한 관련성은 없었다. 본 연구의 결과로는 비닐하우스 재배농민들이 일반농민들에 비해 특별히 신체증상호소율이 높지 않았다. 중요한 건강문제와 가능한 대책은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 농약살포후 중독이 문제가 되므로 농약을 쓰지 않거나 더 적게 쓰고도 농사를 지을 수 있는 영농법 및 농약을 좀 더 안전하게 살포할 수 있는 방법의 개발, 고온에서도 착용하기 좋고 보호 성능이 좋은 보호구의 개발이 시급히 요구되며, 농약살포시 환기요령과 보호구 착용방법에 대한 교육 등의 강화도 고려되어야 할 것으로 생각된다. 둘째, 농부증 증상 중 흔한 증상들은 농작업 자세 및 과도한 노동에 기인되었을 가능성이 있으므로 신체에 부담을 줄일 수 있는 농기구를 개발하고, 주기적인 휴식 및 운동을 권장해 볼 만하다. 세째, 고혈압 유소견율이 15% 전후로 높으므로 고혈압 관리사업의 강화가 요구된다.

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.

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.

밭 작물에 대(對)한 칼리의 생리(生理) 및 생화학적(生化學的) 역할(役割)을 최근(最近) 연구결과(硏究結果)를 중심(中心)으로 검토(檢討)하였으며 우리나라 밭 작물(作物)의 가리영양(加里營養) 현황(現況)을 살펴봤다. 칼리이온의 물리화학적(物理化學的) 특성(特性)은 Na에 의(依)하여 완전(完全) 대체(代替) 불가능(不可能)함을 보이며 대부분(大部分)의 작물(作物)에서 Na의 K대체(代替)는 불가피(不可避)한 대체기능(代替機能)에 대(對)한 부분적(部分的) 대체(代替)에 불과(不過)한 것 같다. 칼리의 특이성(特異性)은 엽록체(葉綠體) thylacoid막(膜)과 같은 미세구조(微細構造)를 효율적(效率的) 구조(構造)로 유지(維持)하며 주(主)로 탄수화물(炭水化物)과 단백질(蛋白質) 대사(代謝)에 관계(關係)하는 제효소(諸酵素)들의 allosteric effector로, 효율적(效率的) conformation의 유지자(維持者)로 작용(作用)하는 것으로 보였다. 광인산화(光燐酸化) 반응(反應)과 산화적(酸化的) 인산반응(燐酸反應) 등(等) energy 대사(代謝)에 필수적(必須的) 존재(存在)로서 유기물(有機物)의 합성(合成)과 전류등(轉流等) 광범(廣範)한 energy 의존(依存) 생리작용(生理作用)에 관여(關與)하고 있다. 칼리는 삼투압(渗透壓) 및 교질(膠質)의 가수도(加水度)를 유지(維持)하여 수분흡수(水分吸收) 및 전류(轉流)의 동인(動因)으로 작용(作用)하여 생리작용(生理作用)의 최적환경(最適環境)을 만들며 수분효율(水分效率)을 높인다. 칼리는 무기양분(無機養分)의 흡수(吸收)와 체내분포(體內分布)에 영향(影響)을 주고 생산물의 품질향상(品質向上)에도 영향을 주며 생산품의 K함량자체(含量自體)가 인체(人體)에서의 K의 중요성(重要性)으로 품질평가(品質評價)의 기준(基準)이 될 것 같다. 칼리의 흡수(吸收)는 저온(低溫)에 의(依)해 크게 저해(沮害)받으며 내부(內部) 칼리 함량에 의(依)한 부(否)의 feedback기작(機作)이 있어서 칼리의 사치흡수는 재평가(再評價)되어야 할 것으로 보였다. 우리나라 토양(土壤)의 전가리(全加里)는 약(約) 3%이나 치환성(置換性)은 0.3me/100g으로 동해(凍害), 한해(寒害)와 불균일(不均一)한 강우(降雨)로 인(因)한 습해(濕害), 한해(旱害) 등(等)으로 모든 밭 작물(作物)에서 요구도(要求度)가 컸다. 대맥(大麥)은 결빙직전(結氷直前) 및 해빙(解氷) 직후(直後)의 K영양(營養)이 수량(收量)과 유의성(有意性) 상관(相關)을 보이며 곡실(穀實)로 많이 전류(轉流)되는 것이 좋았다. 대맥(大麥)의 가리이용률(加里利用率)은 27%, 대두(大豆)는 숙전(熟田)에서 58% 개간지(開墾地)에서 46%였다. 대두(大豆)는 야산(野山) 개발지(開發地)에서 특(特)히 가리(加里) 결핍증상(缺乏症狀)을 많이 보였으며 화아분화기(花芽分花期)에 엽(葉) 중(中) $K_2O$ 2% 이상(以上) K/(Ca+Mg) (함량비(含量比))비(比)는 1.0 이상(以上)이어야 할 것 같다. 고구마는 가리흡수력(加里吸收力)이 커서 후작(後作)의 K영양(營養)에 크게 영향(影響)을 주었다. 감자와 옥수수는 Ca와 Mg에 비(比)해 K가 특히 높았다. 가리결핍(加里缺乏) 고구마는 뿌리에서 K농도 차이가 가장 컸다. 당근, 가지, 배추, 고추, 무우, 도마도가 가리(加里) 함량(含量)이 많았으며 배추 수량(收量)은 가리(加里)와 정상관(正相關)이었다. 사료작물(飼料作物)의 가리(加里) 함량(含量)은 비교적(比較的) 높은 편이었으며 식물체(植物體) 중(中) N, P, Ca와 유의정상관(有意正相關)을 보였다. 과수원(果樹園)의 16~25%가 가리(加里) 부족(不足)으로 나타났으며 우량(優良) 사과밭과 배밭의 토양(土壤)과 엽(葉)은 가리(加里) 함량(含量)이 높았다. 뽕나무의 동해(凍害)에 의(依)한 가지 끝 고사방지(枯死防止)를 위(爲)한 엽(葉) 중(中) $K_2O/(CaO+MgO)$ 임계치(臨界値)는 0.95이었다. 밭 작물재배(作物栽培) 뒤의 토양(土壤) 중(中) 가리(加里)는 전작(前作)에 따라 증가(增加)되는 경우와 감소(減少)되는 경우가 있으며 가리(加里) 흡수(吸收)는 토양수분(土壤水分)에 존재(依存)하는 것 같다. 따라서 토양(土壤) 중(中)의 전가리(全加里)를 포함한 형태별(形態別) 가리(加里) 함량(含量)의 토질(土質), 기상(氣象), 작부체계(作付體系) 등(等) 제요인(諸要因)과 관련(關聯) 장기적(長期的)이고 정량적(定量的)인 조사(調査)가 필요(必要)하다. 가리(加里)의 추비(追肥), 심층시비(深層施肥) 또는 완용성(緩溶性) 비료(肥料)와 입상비료(粒狀肥料) 등(等)이 강우양상(降雨樣相)과 관련(關聯) 검토(檢討)됨으로써 K흡수(吸收) 및 효율(效率)을 증진(增進)시킬 수 있을 것 같다. 가리영양(加里營養)을 포함하여 밭 작물(作物)의 영양해석(營養解析)에는 다요인분석(多要因分析)에 의(依)한 합리적(合理的)이고 실용적(實用的)인 영양지표(營養指標)를 찾는데 경주(傾注)해야 할 것 같다.

수피(樹皮)는 원목(原木) 체적(體積)의 10~20%를 차지하고 있으며 일반적(一般的)을 운반(運搬), 제거(除去), 처리(處理)에 따른 비용에 비(比)해 효용가치(効用價値)는 적다. 뿐만아니라 세계적(世界的)인 임산자원(林産資源)의 부족(不足)에 따른 전수체이용화(全樹體利用化)의 개념이 점고(漸高)되면서부터 수피(樹皮)의 이용(利用)에 관심(關心)을 가지게 되었다. 본연구(本硏究)는 수피(樹皮)에 대(對)한 연구(硏究)가 전무(全無)한 국내(國內)의 실적(實積)에 비추어 국내주요(國內主要) 수종(樹種) 수피(樹皮)는 소나무속(屬), 사시나무속(屬), 참나무속(屬)을 대상(對象)으로 수피(樹皮)의 물리기계적(物理機械的) 성질(性質)을 구명(究明)하고 수피(樹皮)의 가능(可能)한 이용(利用) 책을 위한 기본적 성질을 밝히고자 하였다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서 사용(使用)한 공시수피(共試樹皮)는 서울대학교(大學校) 농과대학(農科大學) 부속연습림(附屬演習林)과 임업시험장(林業試驗場) 중부지장(中部支場) 부근에서 벌채이용(伐採利用)이 적령기(適齡期)에 달(達)하고 포고직경(胞高直徑)이 동급(同級)인 건전하고 정상적(正常的)으로 생장(生長)하는 입목(立木)의 흉고직경 부위(部位)에서 수종별(樹種別) 20주(株)씩 $200cm^2$로 채취(採取)하였다. 물리적(物理的) 성질(性質)로는 수피(樹皮) 전건비중(全乾比重), 내피(內皮) 및 외피(外皮)의 생수피(生樹皮) 함수량(含水量), 섬유포화점(纖維飽和點), 수분이력곡선(水分履歷曲線), 전수축율(全收縮率), 흡수량(吸收量), 비열(比熱), 습윤열(濕潤熱), 열전도도(熱傳導道), 열확산(熱擴散), 시차열분석(示差熱分析) 및 발열량(發熱量)을 측정(測定) 연구(硏究)하였다. 다음 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)로는 곡강도(曲强度)와 압축강도(壓縮强度)를 측정연구(測定硏究)하였으며 본(本) 연구(硏究)에서 얻은 결론(結論)은 다음과 같다. 1. 전건비중(全乾比重)은 같은 개체(個體) 내(內)에 있어서도 목질부(木質部)와 수피간(樹皮間)에 차이(差異)가 있을 뿐아니라 수피(樹皮)에 있어서도 내피(內皮)와 외피간(外皮間)의 차이(差異)가 있다. 2. 수피(樹皮)의 전건비중(全乾比重)이 목질부(木質部) 비중(比重)보다 높은 사실(事實)은 수피내(樹皮內)의 사부섬유(篩部纖維) 및 보강세포(保强細胞)가 많이 있다는 해부적(解剖的)인 구조적(構造的) 특징(特徵)에 기인(基因)한다. 3. 전건비중(全乾比重)에 있어서 잣나무를 제외하고는 내피비중(內皮比重)이 외피비중(外皮比重)보다 높았으며 이는 내피(內皮)보다 높은 수축율(收縮率)에 기인(基因)한다. 4. 수피내(樹皮內)의 해부적(解剖的) 구조(構造)에 있어서 사요소(篩要素)의 구성비율(構成比率)이 높을수록 함수율(含水率)은 높아지고 후막조직(厚膜組織)과 주피조직(周皮組織)이 많으면 많을수록 함수율(含水率)은 떨어진다. 5. 수피(樹皮)의 섬유포화점(纖維飽和點)을 습윤열측정(濕潤熱測定)에 의(依)하여 구(求)할 수 있는 가능성(可能性)을 제시(提示)하였으며 그 결과(結果) 소나무에서는 26~28%사이에 상수리나무에서는 24~28%사이에 있는 것으로 나타났으나 이에 대(對)한 것은 금후연구(今後硏究)에 의(依)하여 더 밝혀져야 할 것이다. 6. 수피(樹皮)의 수축율(收縮率)은 목질부(木質部)와는 달리 경단방향(經斷方向)에서 제일 높고 수축방향(樹縮方向)에서 제일 낮았으나 졸참나무와 굴참나무에서는 열외(列外)이었다. 7. 수피(樹皮)의 비열(比熱)은 목질부(木質部)와 같고 습윤열(濕潤熱)은 목질부(木質部)보다 다소 높았다. 열전도도(熱傳導度)는 목재(木材)보다 낮으며 전건수피비중(全乾樹皮比重)과 수증기비중(水蒸氣比重)을 알고 열전도도(熱傳導度)를 계산할 수 있는 다음과 같은 회귀방정식(回歸方程式)을 유도(誘導)하였고 이 방정식(方程式)에 의(依)하여 얻어진 열전도도(熱傳導度) 수치는$(0.8{\sim}1.6){\times}10^{-4}cal/cm{\cdot}sec{\cdot}deg$이었다. $$K=4.631+11.408{\rho}d+7.628{\rho}m$$ 8. 수피(樹皮)의 열확산(熱擴散)은 $(8.03{\sim}4.46){\times}10^{-4}cm^2/sec$이며 시차열분석(示差熱分析)의 결과(結果)에 의(依)하면 발열량(發熱量)은 발열반응(發熱反應)이 시작(始作)되기 전(前)까지는 목질부(木質部)가 높고 발열반응(發熱反應)이 시작(始作)되면서부터는 수피(樹皮)가 목질부(木質部)보다 상회(上廻)하였다. 9. 경단방향(經斷方向)의 수피곡강도(樹皮曲强度)는 수피비중(樹皮比重)에 비례(比例)하고 회귀식(回歸式)은 M=243.78x-12.02(F=31.41)이었고 압축강도(壓縮强度)는 목질부(木質部)와는 달리 경단방향(經斷方向)이 가장 높고, 경단방향(經斷方向), 수축방향순(樹軸方向順)으로 적어졌다.

수도 단간품종 육성을 위한 자료를 얻고자 Japonica 단간인 단간백망, Indica 단간인 T(N)1 그리고 Japonica$\times$Indica의 단간고정계통인 IE51의 3개품종을 단간친으로 하고 우리나라 품종인 진흥, 관옥, 및 팔굉을 모본으로 하는 관옥$\times$단간백망, 팔굉$\times$단간백망, 진흥$\times$T(N)1, 관옥$\times$T(N)1 및 관옥$\times$IE51의 5개조합의 $\textrm{F}_2$를 재배시기, 질소시용수준, 재식밀도 및 재배지를 달리한 여러 가지 환경조건하에 공시하여 간장 및 이에 관련된 형질의 유전양상과 생태적 변이를 추구하는 한편 관옥$\times$T(N)1, 진흥$\times$T(N)1 및 관옥$\times$IE51의 3개조합에 대하여는 전 공시개체수의 10%의 단간개체를 선발하여 $\textrm{F}_2$에서의 간장에 대한 선발효과를 검정하였다. 이를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유전분리 가. Japonica 단간인 단간백망은 관옥 또는 팔굉과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$에서 장간 : 단간이 3:1의 분리비를 나타내었다. 따라서 단간백망의 간장은 단순열성유전인자에 비하여 지배되었음을 알 수 있었다. 나. 상기 두 조합의 $\textrm{F}_2$의 수장분리에 있어서도 장수 : 단수의 분리비는 3:1로 나타났으므로 간장지배인자가 수장 표현에도 크게 관여하는 것으로 판단되었다. 다. 초장의 경우에 있어서도 간장의 분리양상과 대동소이하였다. 라. Indica의 Semi-dwarf인 T(N)1은 진흥 또는 관옥과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$에서 3:1의 단순한 간장분리를 하지 않고 연속적인 정규분포양상을 나타내는 것으로 보아 상대품종들은 T(N)1의 단간인자의 대립유전자를 가지고 있지 않는 것으로 추정된다. 특히 진흥과 교잡한 $\textrm{F}_2$의 간장분리에서는 장간방향으로 초월분리현상을 나타내었다. 수장과 초장의 분리양상은 역시 간장의 경우와 유사하였다. 마. IE51은 관옥과 교잡하였을 때 간장, 수장 및 초장의 $\textrm{F}_2$분리양상이 T(N)1의 그것과 동일하였으므로 IE51의 단간인자는 곧 T(N)1으로부터 도입된 것임을 알 수 있었다. 2. 생태적 변이 가. 일반적으로 재배시기가 늦어짐에 따라 간장 및 초장의 감소를 보였으나 수장의 변이는 비교적 적었으며 그 감소정도는 품종 또는 조합에 따라 다소 달랐다. 그러나 이들 형질의 유전분리양상은 재배시기의 영향을 거의 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 나. 제 3절간까지의 절간장은 대체로 간장의 분리양상과 비슷하였다. 따라서 간장의 표현은 제 3절간장까지의 역할이 비교적 중요하다고 생각된다. 다. 질소시용량의 차이가 간장 및 관련형질에 미치는 영향은 비교적 적었다. 물론 질소증시에 따라 이들 형질이 증대되는 경향은 있었으나 품종 또는 그 조합특성에 따라 그 정도가 달랐다. 라. 재식밀도를 달리할 경우 간장 및 관련형질에 미치는 영향은 적은 편 이었으며 품종과 조합에 따라 그 변이정도가 달랐다. 그러나 밀식구에서 이들 형질이 다소 증대되는 경향은 인정할 수 있었다. 마. 교배친품종들의 간장, 수장 및 초장은 저위도지방에서 재배할수록 짧아졌는데 이는 감온성반응때문인 것으로 추측되었으며 $\textrm{F}_2$ 잡종에서는 어느 조합이든 남부인 밀양에서 가장 길었는데 이는 분리된 만생화개체의 고온에 의한 생육조장에 영향한 것으로 추측되었다. 3. 선발효과 가. 간장의 유전력은 관옥$\times$T(N)1에서 92%, 진흥$\times$T(N)1에서 55% 그리고 관옥$\times$IE51에서 74%로서 조합에 따라 다르나 상당히 높은 편이었다. 나. $\textrm{F}_2$전공시개체중에서 단간쪽의 10% 개체를 선발하여 G$_3$시험에서 얻은 실제적인 간장단축량은 관옥$\times$T(N)1조합에서 20.8cm, 관옥$\times$IE51조합에서 8.7cm 그리고 진흥$\times$T(N)1조합에서 20.0cm로서 기대치에 비교적 가까운 선발효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 다. 간장의 선발이 수장에 미치는 영향은 조합에 따라 상이하였으나 관옥$\times$T(N)1조합에서는 $\textrm{F}_2$모집단에 비하여 수장의 단축을 거의 인정할 수 없었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 간장, 수장 및 초장의 생태적 변이는 비교적적은 편으로 유전적 분리 범위내에 국한되었으며 단간백망의 간장 표현에 관여하는 단순열성인자는 단수 및 소립등의 불량형질을 동반하므로서 실용가치가 없는 반면에 T(N)1의 단간인자는 이러한 불량형질과 연쇄되지 않는 장점을 가졌으므로 단간모본으로서의 활용도가 높은 것으로 인정되었다.
