대부분의 외식산업은 생산 품목, 생산 방법, 생산 기술, 대상자들이 제조가공업체와는 매우 다르고 생산량, 취급인원, 영업규모등도 학교나 병원급식과는 여러 요소의 차이점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 소규모 외식업체에서 HACCP 시스템 적용을 위하여 종사자 대상 위생교육과 도입 전후의 미생물 분석과 시스템 도입에 따른 유의성 평가와 평가항목별 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한 USN를 구축하여 도입 전후의 시간-온도관리 분석을 시행하여 효율성을 평가하였다. 위생교육 전후 조리 종사자의 위생업무 지식에 관한 평가 결과 개인위생, 식품의 공급 및 저장, 식품의 취급 및 배식, 기구의 세척 및 소독에서 유의적인 차이가 있었다. 또한 위생교육 전후 조리 종사자의 수행도에 관한 평가결과 식품의 취급 및 배식, 기구의 세척 및 소독, 작업 환경관리 영역에서 유의적으로 상승한 결과를 보였다. 조리 종사자의 교육 전후의 위생지식 결과는 개인위생(p<0.05), 식품의 공급 및 저장(p<0.05), 식품의 취급 및 배식(p<0.05), 기구의 세척 및 소독 영역(p<0.05)에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 모든 항목에서 정답률이 상승하였고 전체 문항에 대한 정답률은 교육 전 75%에서 교육 후 90%로 향상되었다. 조리 종사자의 위생업무에 대한 수행도 결과는 식품의 취급 및 배식(p<0.05), 기구의 세척 및 소독(p<0.05), 작업 환경관리 영역(p<0.05)과 총 점수에서 유의적인 차이를 보였다. HACCP 도입 전후의 소독에 따른 양상추 샐러드 미생물 품질분석 결과는 소독전 일반세균이 양상추 원재료 4.80 logCFU/g에서 소독 후 2.41 logCFU/g으로, 라디치오는 원재료 4.15 logCFU/g에서 소독 후 2.48 logCFU/g으로, 토마토는 원재료 4.10 logCFU/g에서 소독 후 평균 1.68 logCFU/g으로 나타나 중요관리점인 세척 시 소독을 통해 미생물 수치가 감소되었다. 멸치와 꽈리고추의 미생물적 품질결과는 원재료의 일반세균수는 각각 4.52 logCFU/g, 5.72 logCFU/g으로 나타났고, 볶았을 때 멸치는 2.07 logCFU/g, 꽈리고추는 1.50 logCFU/g으로 낮아졌다. 가열 공정 후 대장균군과 장내세균은 검출되지 않았다. 하지만 멸치꽈리볶음의 생산 공정은 재료별로 따로 볶아 버무리는 공정이 있어 최종식품에는 일반세균 4.33 logCFU/g, 대장균군 0.71 logCFU/g, 장내세균 1.65 logCFU/g, 황색포도상구균이 1.27 logCFU/g으로 검출되었다. 숙주나물의 미생물 분석 결과는 조리단계 및 배식단계에서 각각 4.20 logCFU/g, 4.68 logCFU/g의 높은 수치를 나타냈으나, 적용 후의 조리단계 및 배식단계에서는 각각 3.26 logCFU/g, 3.34 logCFU/g으로 나타났다. 숙주나물 및 잡채의 후처리 작업시 HACCP 적용 전 종사자 손의 일반세균수는 평균 5.90~5.99 logCFU/hand에서 적용 후 평균 0~2.30 logCFU/hand로 나타났다. 가열조리 후처리 공정에서는 교차오염을 줄이기 위하여 종사원의 손의 위생적인 관리가 필수적인 것으로 사료된다. 도입 전과 도입 후 2개월 시점의 조리 종사자의 위생지식점수 차이, 위생수행도 차이, 양상추 샐러드와 조리 종사자 손의 미생물적 품질 개선효과 간의 상관관계를 구하였다. 위생수행도의 변화와 양상추 샐러드의 미생물적 품질 개선 효과는 유의한 양의 상관관계(p<0.01)를 보여 위생 수행도가 높아질수록 식품의 미생물적 품질이 개선될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 위생지식의 변화와 조리 종사자 손의 미생물 변화가 유의한 양의 상관관계(p<0.05)가 있었다. u-HACCP 시스템 도입 전후 온도관리에서의 3가지(온도측정의 정확성, 온도관리 효율성, 온도범위의 안정성)를 평가하였는데, 도입 전에는 업무시간에 냉장고 $5^{\circ}C$ 이하, 냉동고 $-18^{\circ}C$ 이하, 온장고 $57^{\circ}C$ 이상의 기준이 지켜지지 않은 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 하지만 도입 후 냉장고, 온장고, 식기세척기마다 자동경보로 위생 사고를 예방하였고 실시간 상황모니터가 설치되어 있어 HACCP 업무가 대폭 간소화 되었으며, 무엇보다 지속적인 위생교육으로 인해 직원들의 위험온도($5^{\circ}C{\sim}57^{\circ}C$)에 대한 이해도가 높아져 냉장, 냉동, 온장고의 기준온도의 준수율이 상승되었다. 따라서 유비쿼터스 센서 온도계를 이용하여 검수, 가공, 보존, 조리, 유통 등 각 단계별로 자동 모니터링이 가능해 잠재적 위험요소를 사전에 관리자에게 통보해 줌으로써 식품의 위생안전성을 확보할 수 있고, 무선 센서 네트워크의 특징을 이용하여 식재료 안전 관리 시스템에 적용할 경우 24시간 모니터링이 가능하여 신속한 개선조치와 이력 관리 모니터링을 통한 신뢰성 있는 품질경영 시스템을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

목적 : 호흡주기에 따른 위치변동 감지센서를 이용하여 종양의 위치가 일정워치에 있을 때만 방사선을 치료하는 호흡 동기치료기구를 제작하고 일정한 호흡주기 상태에서 수행된 CT simulation과 3차원 입체조형치료계획에 따라 방사선을 치료하는 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 호흡유무에 따른 종양의 치료 마진(margin)을 측정하고 계획용표적체적(planning target volume:PTV)의 크기에 따른 선량체적표(dose volume histogram:DVH)와 종양억제확률(tumor control probability:NTCP), 건강조직손상확률(normal tissue complication probability:NTCP) 및 선량 통계자료를 통하여 치료성과를 평가하고 선량증강 범위를 예측하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 종양이 비교적 작고 전이가 없는(T1N0M0) 5명의 폐암환자를 선택하여 X-선 조준장치를 이용하여 횡격막의 이동거리를 측정하는 방법으로 내부장기의 운동을 평가하였다. 호흡동기치료기구는 끌어당김 센서가 부착된 허리띠 모양으로 구성되었으며 이를 흉곽 또는 복부에 부착하여 호흡주기에 의한 흉곽의 크기변동에 따라 센서의 회로가 개폐되고 이것을 선형가속기의 조종간에 연결하는 간단한 기구로서 감도와 재현성이 높았다. 호흡을 배기한 후 일시적 호흡이 정지된 상태에서 Spiral-CT (PQ-5000)로 3차원 영상을 획득하고 Virtual CT-simulator (AcQ-SIM)에 의하여 종양의 위치와 주위 장기들을 확인 도시하였으며 3차원 치료계획장치(Pinnacle, ADAC Co.)를 이용하여 3차원 입체조형치료를 계획하였다. 치료계획의 평가는 호흡동기치료기구의 사용유무에 따른 PTV의 크기에 따라 최적 선량분포를 구사하였으며 각각의 DVH, TCP, NTCP 및 선량통계자료를 도출 비교 검토하였다. 결과 : X-선 simulation에서 폐암환자의 횡격막 이동은 약 1 cm에서 2.5 cm로서 평균 1.5 cm로 측정되었고 자유호흡시 PTV는 CTV (clinical target volume)에 약 2 cm 마진을 주었으며 호흡동기치료기구를 사용하였을 때는 0.5 cm 마진이 적당한 것으로 측정되었다. 종양의 PTV는 연장 마진의 거의 자승비로 증가하였으며 TCP의 값은 마진 범위 $(0.5\~2.0\;cm)$에 관계없이 거의 일정하였고 NTCP의 값은 마진 크기에 따라 평균 $65\%$로 급속히 증가하였다. 결론 : 호흡주기에 따른 위치변동 감지센서를 이용한 호흡동기치료기구는 종양의 위치가 일정할 때만 방사선이 조사되는 간단하고 정확한 장치로서 3차원 입체조형치료 및 강도변조방사선치료에서 매우 유용한 장치임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 호흡조절 방사선입체조형치료방법의 기술과 시술절차를 확립시키고 정량적인 선량평가를 위하여 DVH, TCP, NTCP 등의 정량분석과 종양의 투여 선량 증가량(dose escalation)을 예측하는 기초자료를 제공할 수 있었다.

최근 글로벌 경제의 중장기적 불황과 성장률 하락에 기인하여, 대내외적으로 불투명한 환경하에서 생존하며 발전하기 위한 새로운 대안으로 새로운 서비스와 상품을 탄생시키고 생산방식의 변화와 업무 혁신 등으로 조직의 지속가능성을 높이는 기술혁신에 대한 관심이 날로 높아지고 있다. 이런 분위기 속에서 중소벤처기업의 성장은 국가 경제에 미치는 영향성이 지대하다는 것을 다수가 공감 중이며, 그런 중소벤처기업들이 기업 성과를 높이고 성과의 지속이 가능하도록 구성원들의 기술혁신 역량을 높이기 위한 여러 가지 노력이 지속되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적 역시 중소벤처 기업의 기술혁신 역량이 지식경영의 성과와 어떠한 상관관계를 가지고 있는가를 조사하고 기업의 전략적 활동을 조직화하여 가치 창출에 사용될 자원과 조직 능력을 외부 네트워크로부터 획득하게 하는 네트워크역량이 어떤 역할을 수행하는지에 대해 분석하여 확대 또는 강화해야 하는 영향요인을 정확히 파악하여 내·외부적인 역량을 강화하도록 하는 데 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기술혁신역량이 중소벤처기업의 네트워크역량을 매개로 삼아, 기술혁신역량이 지식경영성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미칠 것이라는 가설을 검증하고자 한다. 기술혁신역량을 기반으로 한 경제활동이 코로나 등으로 불확실성이 높아진 환경에서 새로운 변화에 신속히 대응하며, 장기적 경기 침체 극복은 물론이고 거시적 경제 성장과 발전을 이끌어 조직의 지속적 성장과 생존뿐 아니라, 국가의 새로운 성장 동력이 될 수 있도록 해야 한다. 그리고 조직 내 가장 중요한 지식경영성과의 종속변수 설정을 통해서 본 연구를 진행하였다. 그 결과 기술혁신역량 중 연구개발역량과 학습역량은 재무적성과에 미치는 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그에 반해 기업혁신 활동은 재무적성과 및 비재무적성과에 모두 정(+)의 영향성을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 기술혁신역량을 활용하여 연구개발 활동을 하는 중소벤처기업 경영에서 무형적이며 비재무적인 요인 영향성이 확인되는 것은 선행연구 중 기업혁신 활동이 재무적성과에 영향성을 미친다는 다수의 연구와는 반대되는 결과이지만 일부 연구와는 유사한 결과이다. 이런 결과도출의 이유로는 조사기업들 다수의 업력이 7년 이상으로 스타트업 기업은 벗어났으나 매출은 100억 이하인 중소벤처기업들로서 매출 수익 일변도의 스타트업 시점과는 달리 연구개발역량과 학습역량이 재무적인 성과보다 무형적 비재무적성과에 긍정적 영향을 많이 끼치기 때문이라고 생각된다. 기업혁신 활동은 재무와 비재무적성과에 모두 긍정적(+)인 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났고, 연구개발역량과 학습역량은 네트워크역량을 매개변수로 재무적성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기업혁신 활동은 네트워크역량의 매개변수 영향성이 재무적성과와 비재무적성과 모두에 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 연구개발역량과 학습역량도 비재무적성과에는 영향성이 없었다. 네트워크역량의 매개변수 효과가 나타내는 것은 연구개발역량과 학습역량이 계량적 재무적성과를 도출할 때로 한정됨을 알 수 있다. 이런 결과들을 토대로 추후 연구개발사업의 성과측정에서는 비재무적성과 측정을 강화하도록 하는 정책 시행을 제시하는 바이다.

공공 서비스의 수출의 경우 수출 절차와 대상 선정에 따른 다양한 문제가 발생하며, 공공 서비스 수출 플랫폼은 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 사용자 중심의 유연하고, 개방형 구조의 디지털 생태계를 조성할 수 있도록 구현되어야 한다. 또한 공공서비스의 수출은 다수의 이해당사자가 참여하고 여러 단계의 과정을 거쳐야 하므로 사용자의 이해 종류와 탐색 컨설팅 협상 계약 등 수출 프로세스 단계별로 맞춤형 플랫폼 서비스 제공이 필수적이다. 이를 위해서 플랫폼 구조는 도메인과 정보의 정의 및 공유는 물론 지식화를 지원할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 공공서비스 수출을 지원하는 플랫폼을 위한 온톨로지 모형을 제안한다. 서비스 플랫폼의 핵심 엔진은 시뮬레이터 모듈이며 시뮬레이터 모듈에서는 온톨로지를 사용하여 수출 비즈니스의 여러 컨텍스트들을 파악하고 정의하여 다른 모듈들과 공유하게 된다. 온톨로지는 공유 어휘를 통하여 개념들과 그들 간의 관계를 표현할 수 있으므로 특정 영역에서 구조적인 틀을 개발하기 위한 메타 정보를 구성하는 효과적인 도구로 잘 알려져 있다. 공공서비스 수출 플랫폼을 위한 온톨로지는 서비스, 요구사항, 환경, 기업, 국가 등 5가지 카테고리로 구성되며 각각의 온톨로지는 요구분석과 사례 분석을 통하여 용어를 추출하고 온톨로지의 식별과 개념적 특성을 반영하는 구조로 설계한다. 서비스 온톨로지는 목적효과, 요구조건, 활동, 서비스 분류 등으로 구성되며, 요구사항 온톨로지는 비즈니스, 기술, 제약으로 구성 된다. 환경 온톨로지는 사용자, 요구조건, 활동으로, 기업 온톨로지는 활동, 조직, 전략, 마케팅, 시간으로 구성되며, 국가 온톨로지는 경제, 사회기반시설, 법, 제도, 관습, 인프라, 인구, 위치, 국가전략 등으로 구성된다. 수출 대상 서비스와 국가의 우선순위 리스트가 생성되면 갭(gap) 분석과 매칭 알고리즘 등의 시뮬레이터를 통하여 수출기업과 수출지원 프로그램과의 시스템적 연계가 이루어진다. 제안하는 온톨로지 모형 기반의 공공서비스 수출지원 플랫폼이 구현되면 이해당사자 모두에게 도움이 되며 특히 정보 인프라와 수출경험이 부족한 중소기업에게 상대적으로 더 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 개방형 디지털 생태계를 통하여 이해당사자들이 정보교환, 협업, 신사업 기획 등의 기회를 만들 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

주요 구인구직사이트의 직무분류체계가 사이트마다 상이하고 SW분야에서 제안한 'SQF(Sectoral Qualifications Framework)'의 직무분류체계와도 달라 SW산업에서 SW기업, SW구직자, 구인구직사이트가 모두 납득할 수 있는 새로운 직무분류체계가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 주요 구인구직사이트의 구인정보와 'NCS(National Competaency Standars)'에 기반을 둔 SQF를 분석하여 시장 수요를 반영한 표준 직무분류체계를 구축하는 것이다. 이를 위해 주요 구인구직사이트의 직종 간 연관분석과 SQF와 직종 간 연관분석을 실시하여 직종 간 연관규칙을 도출하고자 한다. 이 연관규칙을 이용하여 주요 구인구직사이트의 직무분류체계를 맵핑하고 SQF와 직무 분류체계를 맵핑함으로써 데이터 기반의 지능형 직무분류체계를 제안하였다. 연구 결과 국내 주요 구인구직사이트인 '워크넷,' '잡코리아,' '사람인'에서 3만여 건의 구인정보를 open API를 이용하여 XML 형태로 수집하여 데이터베이스에 저장했다. 이 중 복수의 구인구직사이트에 동시 게시된 구인정보 900여 건을 필터링한 후 빈발 패턴 마이닝(frequent pattern mining)인 Apriori 알고리즘을 적용하여 800여 개의 연관규칙을 도출하였다. 800여 개의 연관규칙을 바탕으로 워크넷, 잡코리아, 사람인의 직무분류체계와 SQF의 직무분류체계를 맵핑하여 1~4차로 분류하되 분류의 단계가 유연한 표준 직무분류체계를 새롭게 구축했다. 본 연구는 일부 전문가의 직관이 아닌 직종 간 연관분석을 통해 데이터를 기반으로 직종 간 맵핑을 시도함으로써 시장 수요를 반영하는 새로운 직무분류체계를 제안했다는데 의의가 있다. 다만 본 연구는 데이터 수집 시점이 일시적이기 때문에 시간의 흐름에 따라 변화하는 시장의 수요를 충분히 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 계절적 요인과 주요 공채 시기 등 시간에 따라 시장의 요구하는 변해갈 것이기에 더욱 정확한 매칭을 얻기 위해서는 지속적인 데이터 모니터링과 반복적인 실험이 필요하다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 SW산업 분야에서 SQF의 개선방향을 제시하는데 활용될 수 있고, SW산업 분야에서 성공을 경험삼아 타 산업으로 확장 이전될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 세계식량농업기구(FAO) 가축다양성정보시스템(DAD-IS)에 등재되어 있는 우리나라 재래닭 집단의 유전적 다양성 및 외래품종과의 차별성을 분석하기 위해 25개의 초위성체(MS) 마커를 이용하여 총 18개 집단 548수의 유전자형을 분석하였고, 이를 토대로 기대($H_{\exp}$) 및 관측이형접합도($H_{obs}$), 다형정보지수(PIC), 유전거리, 유전적 균일도 등을 계산하였다. 마커별 다형성 분석 결과, 총 195개의 대립유전자가 나타났으며, $H_{\exp}$와 PIC의 경우 MCW0145에서 각각 0.646, 0.569로 가장 높았으며, $H_{obs}$의 경우 ADL0278에서 0.773으로 가장 높은 수치를 보이고 있었던 반면, MCW0078에서는 $H_{\exp}$, $H_{obs}$, PIC가 각각 0.263, 0.291, 0.217로 가장 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 집단간 다양성 분석 결과로는 MNA, $H_{\exp}$, $H_{obs}$, PIC 모두 황갈색재래종(KNY) 집단(각각 4.60, 0.627, 0.643, 0.563)에서 가장 높게, 횡성약닭(HYD) 집단(각각 1.84, 0.297, 0.286, 0.236)에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 대립유전자형의 빈도를 바탕으로 계산된 18개 품종간의 DA 유전거리 분석 결과, 횡성약닭(HYD)와 화이트레그혼F(LGF) 집단 사이에서 0.675로 가장 먼 유전거리를 형성하고 있었으며, 같은 품종인 로드아일랜드레드 두 집단(RRC, RRD) 사이에서 0.027로 가장 가까운 유전거리를 보였다. 한편, 같은 품종임에도 불구하고, 코니시 두 집단(COS, COH)사이에서는 0.313의 비교적 먼 유전거리를 나타내고 있었다. 집단의 실제 구조를 확인하기 위한 집단별 균일도 분석 결과, K=15에서 최적의 K값(${\Delta}K:66.22$)을 얻을 수 있었으며, 18개의 집단 중 14개의 집단에서 90% 이상의 높은 유전적 균일도를 나타내며 독립적인 군락을 형성하고 있었다. 또한, 황갈색재래종(KNY), 현인흑계(HIC), 연산오계(KNO) 집단에서도 각각 88.9%, 83.9%, 76.3%로 독립적인 군락을 형성하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 제주재래닭(JJC)의 경우 독립적인 군락을 형성하지 못하고, 황갈색재래종(KNY) 집단이 속해 있는 2번 군락에서 가장 높은 44.3%의 균일도를 보이고 있었으며, 3번 군락(17.7%)과 8번 군락(19.1%)에도 일부 포함되어 있는 것으로 보아 집단 조성 과정에 있어 타집단과의 교잡이 일어났을 것으로 추정되며, 독립적인 집단으로 구분하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 추후 개체식별을 통한 지속적인 계획교배를 실시하여 유전적 고정화 작업이 이루어질 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과로 DAD-IS에 등재되어 있는 우리나라 재래닭 집단이 외래 토착종 집단과 확연하게 구분이 되며, 각 재래닭 집단간에도 비교적 뚜렷하게 구분되는 것을 확인함으로써, 고유 종자로서의 과학적인 근거를 확보할 수 있었으며, 추후 재래닭 유전자원에 대한 국가 수준의 관리 및 평가를 통해 다양한 육종 소재로 이용할 수 있는 기초자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
