고상법을 이용하여 Eu 이온이 첨가된 다중인산염 NaSr(PO₃)₃형광체를 합성하고 탄소열환원법을 통하여 NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺ 형광체를 완성하였다. X선 회절 측정(XRD)을 통하여 형광체의 결정상을 확인하였다. NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺ 형광체의 Eu²⁺ 농도 변화에 따른 발광 방출 및 여기 스펙트럼과 수명시간을 측정하였다. 320 nm 근자외선 여기에서 NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺ 형광체는 Eu²⁺의 4f⁶5d → f⁷(8S^7/2) 전이에 따른 420 nm 중심의 밴드를 방출하였다. Eu²⁺ 첨가 된 형광체의 열적 특성을 증가시키기 위해 온도 의존적 방출 스펙트럼과 형광 감쇠 곡선을 측정하고 형광체의 온도 의존성을 설명하였다. 본 연구로 희토류 이온이 첨가된 NaSr(PO₃)₃:Eu²⁺는 디스플레이, 검출기 등에 온도 센서 역할을 할 수 있는 우수한 온도 의존성을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study is to measure of growth and chlorophyl in barley exposed by X-ray. Barley seed was soaked 24h duration in water, then was classified into two group; pre-seed germination group (Pre-G) or post-seed germination group (Post-G). Also, divided as control subgroup and experimental subgroup(10Gy, 20Gy, 30Gy) in each group. Experimental subgroups were exposed by X-ray using linear accelerator (Clinac IS, VERIAN, USA). Expose condition was 6 MV X-ray, SSD 100 cm, 18×10 cm, 600 MU/min. Length was measured every day for 10 days and 10th day for weight. Chlorophyl was analyzed using spectrophotometer(uv-1800, shimadzu, japan) in l0th day. Data analysis was performed using SPSS ver 22.0(Chicago, IL, USA), ANOVA test (Dunnett_T3) between control subgroup and experimental subgroup in group and Independent T-test between Pre-G and Post-G in subgroup. In Pre-G, length of barley was significantly difference between control and 30Gy in 4th day (4.3 vs. 1.5, p= 0.011). Length of 30Gy was statistical difference with control(10th day; 14.4 vs. 6.3, p < 0.01), and was not in 10Gy or 20Gy in all day. In experimental subgroup, length was shorter as increasing radiation dose. In Post-G, length of barley was not difference statistically between control and experimental subgroup in first day, but more difference between two subgroup with increasing duration after exposing. Length of experimental subgroup was shorter significantly compared with control in 10th day, and no significant difference between experimental subgroup. Density of chlorophyl was increasing with increasing radiation dose in Pre-G and Post-G. Chlorophyl density of control was lower than 30Gy; 0.26ppm in Pre-G, 0.29ppm in Post-G). Growth and chlorophyl of barley was effected by X-ray. It is expected to be used as basic data for future radiobiological research.

본 연구에서는 국내 미설정 보존료인 biphenyl의 분석법 확립을 위해 국내외 다양한 분석법을 조사하고 비교 검토하였다. 식품용 기구 및 용기 포장공전 목재류 시험법의 경우 범용적 장비와 비교적 간단한 시험 전처리 방법이지만 회수율이 10% 이하로 측정되었으며 방해 물질 제거가 어려워 효과적인 시료 전처리와 분석방법이 될 수 없음을 확인하였다. 식품공전의 잔류농약 분석법의 경우 시료 전처리에 사용된 추출 용매는 아세토니트릴이고 정제는 아미노프로필 카트리지를 이용하였으며, 정성 및 정량분석이 가능하고 효과적으로 matrix를 제거하는 장점이 있으나, 30% 이하의 회수율과 전처리 시간이 많이 소요되는 것을 확인하였다. AOAC official method 분석법의 경우 n-heptane을 이용하여 추출 후 무수황산나트륨 칼럼을 이용하여 정제한 뒤 TLC와 spectrophotometry를 이용하여 확인 시험 결과 시료 전처리에 시간 소요가 많고 재현성과 숙련도가 요구되는 단점이 확인되었다. QuEchERs 방법은 시료를 아세토니트릴로 추출 후 dispersive SPE kit을 이용하여 전처리 후 GC-MS와 HPLC를 이용하여 확인 결과 시료 전처리 시간이 비교적 짧고 좋은 재현성이 있는 장점이 있으나, 소모품 사용 시 경제적 부담이 큰 단점을 가지고 있다. Anklam E 등의 시험법은 GC-FID이며 디클로로메탄, 메탄올, 헥산을 이용한 단순 추출 후 2시간 방치한 다음 GC-MS와 GC-FID로 분석하는데, 일부 시료에서 효과적인 matrix 제거가 어려운 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 국내외 여러 시험방법을 검토 및 응용하여 간단한 시료 전처리와 분석법을 확립하였다. 시료 중의 biphenyl 분석에 사용한 칼럼은 Capcellpak UG 120 $C_{18}$($4.6mm{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$), 이동상은 3차 증류수에 녹인 25 mM phosphoric acid(solvent A)와 아세토니트닐에 녹인 25 mM phosphoric acid(solvent B)를 이용하여 gradient로 분석하였다. UV 흡수 파장은 230 nm, 오븐 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$, 유속은 1.0 mL/min을 이용하였다. 직선성은 0.999($R^2$) 이상의 높은 직선성을 보였으며 직선성 각각의 농도에 대한 정밀도는 6.7% 이하, 정확도는 86.7~102.9%, 검량선 내 서로 다른 농도 3가지에 대한 일내 정밀도는 0.7~1.9%, 정확도는 95.8~104.0%로 확인되었다. 일간은 정밀도가 1.6~2.4%, 정확도는 96.7~102.4%로 확인되었다. 검출한계 $0.04{\mu}g/mL$, 정량한계는 $0.13{\mu}g/mL$로 측정되었다. 회수율 측정 결과 3가지 농도에서 정밀도는 1.8% 이하이고, 회수율은 92.7~99.4%로 측정되었다. 확립된 biphenyl의 분석법 확립의 적용성 검토를 위해 시료는 총 111건을 수집하였으며, 일본 현지에서 구입한 시료는 30건, 서울 경기 대형마트 및 중소형 식품 도매점에서 81건을 수집하여 총 111건에 대해 분석한 결과 모든 시료에서 불검출이 확인되었다. 향후 국내 미설정 보존료인 biphenyl을 사용한 식품에 대해 정량한계($0.13{\mu}g/mL$)까지 분석할 수 있는 분석법 확립과 국내에 비의도적으로 혼용될 수 있는 수입식품의 사전사후 관리에 기여될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

X선 분할조사가 식물의 생장에 미치는 영향은 아직까지 보고된 바 없어, 우리 연구에서는 X선을 새싹 보리에 분할조사 후 생장과 클로로필 농도의 변화를 알아보았다. 각 조사그룹은 대조군, 1회조사군(30 Gy 1회), 2회조사군(15 Gy 씩 2회), 3회조사군(10 Gy 씩 3회)으로 나누었고, 군당 20립 씩 사용하였다.대조군을 제외한 실험군에 대해 방사선종양학과의 선형가속기(Clinac IS, VERIAN, USA, 2011)를 이용하여 총 선량 30 Gy X선을 조사하였다. 조사 조건은 6 MV X-ray, 조사거리(Source-surface distance) 100 cm, 조사면적(field size) 18×10 cm², 선량률(dose rate) 600 MU/min 에서 실시하였다. 분할조사는 24시간 간격으로 동일조건에서 선량만을 변경시켜 조사하였다. 보리의 생장은 종자별로 X선 조사 후 4일차 부터 1일 간격으로 9일차까지 줄기의 길이를 측정하였다. X선이 보리 싹의 엽록소 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 분광광도법을 이용하여 클로로필 a 농도를 측정하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS ver. 26.0(Chicago, IL, USA)을 사용하여 분산분석(One-way ANOVA)을 실시하여 대조군(gold standard)에 대해 실험군의 줄기 길이 차이를 분석하였다(사후 검정 Dunnett T3). 발아전조사그룹에서 대조군이 실험군 보다 모든 측정일차에서 길이가 컸고, 1회조사군에서 2회조사군, 3회조사군으로 갈수록 줄기길이가 짧게 나타나 분할조사 횟수가 증가할수록 길이는 짧았다. 대조군과 1회조사군은 모든 측정일차에서 대조군의 길이가 컸지만, 통계학적인 유의한 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 발아후조사그룹에서는 대조군이 실험군 보다 모든 측정일차에서 통계학적으로 유의하게 길이가 컸고, 1회조사군에서 2회조사군, 3회조사군으로 갈수록 길이가 길게 나타나 분할조사 횟수가 증가할수록 길이도 길었다. 발아전조사그룹 보다 발아후조사그룹이 클로로필 농도가 높았고, 발아전조사그룹과 발아후조사그룹 모두 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 모두 클로로필 농도가 높았다. 또한, 분할횟수가 적을수록 클로로필 농도는 높아지는 결과를 보였다. X선의 분할조사는 새싹보리의 생장과 클로로필 농도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

식물 피노믹스 분야에서 초고속 대량선발이 가능하도록 만든 화상기술(imaging technology)을 온실자동화 기술, 이미지 촬영 및 분석기술 등으로 분류하여 개념을 정리하고, 화상기술을 개발 및 응용하고 있는 주요 연구기관의 현황을 소개하였다. 연구동향 파악을 위해 작물의 내재해성 검정, 병해충진단, 종자활력 검정, 수확후 관리, 생체리듬 연구 등 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있는 사례들을 살펴보았다. 향후 열 화상, 형광 화상 기술을 UV-induced blue green fluorescence, hyperspectral imaging 등과 상호 보완해서 multi-sensor 개념으로 발전시켜 나간다면, 식물의 생산량 증대를 위한 스트레스 내성자원 선발의 효율성을 극대화할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 다양한 파장대의 영상정보로부터 각 스트레스의 특징을 catalogue화하는 것이 가능하여 다양한 스트레스를 정확히 진단하고 정량화할 수 있을 것으로 보이며, 나아가 각종 스트레스에 대한 조기 경보시스템으로도 활용할 수 있을 것이다. 호주 Plant Phenomics Centre에서는 온실과 포장을 포함한 Phenomics 기술의 종합적 개념도를 그림 4와 같이 제시하고 각 부문별 필요기술을 개발 중에 있는데, 종합기술로 완성된다면 현재의 작물 품종개량 속도를 획기적으로 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 호주는 그 동안 분자생물학, 식물생리학 분야에서는 기술력을 확보해 왔지만 BT, IT 등 융복합농업기술분야에서는 다른 나라에 비해 역량을 결집하지 못하고 뒤쳐져 있었다고 볼 수 있는데, 연구개발의 궁극적인 목표인 실용화 단계에서의 기술우위를 선점함으로써 그간의 약세를 만회하고자 Phenomics 연구시설을 설치하였다고 한다. 이점은 BT 후발주자이면서 국제적 경쟁력을 확보하려는 우리에게 시사하는 바가 크다. Phenomics 연구는 생명공학기술을 통해 창출된 GM 식물체, 전통육종을 통해 육성된 육종재료 등 모든 유용 유전자원을 평가, 검정할 수 있는 신품종 육성의 기본 기술로 부상하고 있다. 지난 수년간 정체되어 있는 국내 종자시장을 고부가 수출산업으로 육성하기 위해서는 유용 유전자원, 농업생명공학산물의 실용화를 가속화하여야 하며, 이를 위해 피노믹스 기술 확보 및 시설 인프라 구축을 전략적으로 신중히 검토해봐야 할 시점이다.

본 연구에서는 처음으로 차등흡수분광기술(Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy, DOAS)를 이용하여 지상관측 기반 태양 직달광 모의복사휘도를 활용하여 신호대잡음비(Signal to Noise Ratio, SNR), 분광분해능(Full Width Half Maximum, FWHM), 오존 연직칼럼농도($O_3$ Vertical Column Density, $O_3$ VCD), 에어로졸 광학두께(Aerosol Optical Depth, AOD), 태양천정각(Solar Zenith Angle, SZA)에 대한 이산화황 연직칼럼농도($SO_2$ Vertical Column Density, $SO_2$ VCD) 산출 불확실성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 산란광 효과를 제외한 Beer-Lambert-Bouguer 법칙에 기반하여 모의복사휘도를 계산하였다. SNR이 650(1300)이며, FWHM = 0.6 nm, AOD = 0.2, $O_3$ VCD = 300DU, $SZA=30^{\circ}$ 동일 조건일 때 산출된 이산화황의 연직칼럼농도와 모의복사휘도 계산 시 입력값으로 활용된 이산화황 연직칼럼농도의 참값을 비교하여 절대백분위오차(Absolute Percentage Difference, APD) 산출 결과 $8.1{\times}10^{15}molecules\;cm^{-2}$ 농도에서 최대 80%(28%), $2.7{\times}10^{16}molecules\;cm^{-2}$ 농도에서 최소 16%(5%)로 나타났다. FWHM이 0.2 nm(1.0 nm)일 때, 이산화황의 연직칼럼농도가 $2.7{\times}10^{16}molecules\;cm^{-2}$과 동일하거나 그 이상에서 APD는 6.4%(29%) 에서 6.2%(10%)로 나타났다. FWHM, SZA, AOD, 오존 연직칼럼농도의 값이 증가할수록 APD가 증가하였다. 그와 반대로 SNR은 값이 증가할수록 APD가 감소하였다. 결과적으로 FWHM과 SZA이 오존 연직칼럼농도와 AOD 보다 이산화황 연직칼럼농도 산출에 크게 영향을 주었다. 이산화황의 연직칼럼농도 산출 불확실성의 증가에 대한 SZA의 효과는 $2.7{\times}10^{16}molecules\;cm^{-2}$보다 높은 이산화황 연직칼럼농도 조건에서 FWHM보다 큰 영향을 주었다.

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.
