Digital Convergence means integration between industry, technology, and contents, and in marketing, it usually comes with creation of new types of product and service under the base of digital technology as digitalization progress in electro-communication industries including telecommunication, home appliance, and computer industries. One can see digital convergence not only in instruments such as PC, AV appliances, cellular phone, but also in contents, network, service that are required in production, modification, distribution, re-production of information. Convergence in contents started around 1990. Convergence in network and service begins as broadcasting and telecommunication integrates and DMB(digital multimedia broadcasting), born in May, 2005 is the symbolic icon in this trend. There are some positive and negative expectations about DMB. The reason why two opposite expectations exist is that DMB does not come out from customer's need but from technology development. Therefore, customers might have hard time to interpret the real meaning of DMB. Time is quite critical to a high tech product, like DMB because another product with same function from different technology can replace the existing product within short period of time. If DMB does not positioning well to customer's mind quickly, another products like Wibro, IPTV, or HSPDA could replace it before it even spreads out. Therefore, positioning strategy is critical for success of DMB product. To make correct positioning strategy, one needs to understand how consumer interprets DMB and how consumer's interpretation can be changed via communication strategy. In this study, we try to investigate how consumer perceives a new product, like DMB and how AD strategy change consumer's perception. More specifically, the paper segment consumers into sub-groups based on their DMB perceptions and compare their characteristics in order to understand how they perceive DMB. And, expose them different printed ADs that have messages guiding consumer think DMB in specific ways, either cellular phone or personal TV. Research Question 1: Segment consumers according to perceptions about DMB and compare characteristics of segmentations. Research Question 2: Compare perceptions about DMB after AD that induces categorization of DMB in direction for each segment. If one understand and predict a direction in which consumer perceive a new product, firm can select target customers easily. We segment consumers according to their perception and analyze characteristics in order to find some variables that can influence perceptions, like prior experience, usage, or habit. And then, marketing people can use this variables to identify target customers and predict their perceptions. If one knows how customer's perception is changed via AD message, communication strategy could be constructed properly. Specially, information from segmented customers helps to develop efficient AD strategy for segment who has prior perception. Research framework consists of two measurements and one treatment, O1 X O2. First observation is for collecting information about consumer's perception and their characteristics. Based on first observation, the paper segment consumers into two groups, one group perceives DMB similar to Cellular phone and the other group perceives DMB similar to TV. And compare characteristics of two segments in order to find reason why they perceive DMB differently. Next, we expose two kinds of AD to subjects. One AD describes DMB as Cellular phone and the other Ad describes DMB as personal TV. When two ADs are exposed to subjects, consumers don't know their prior perception of DMB, in other words, which subject belongs 'similar-to-Cellular phone' segment or 'similar-to-TV' segment? However, we analyze the AD's effect differently for each segment. In research design, final observation is for investigating AD effect. Perception before AD is compared with perception after AD. Comparisons are made for each segment and for each AD. For the segment who perceives DMB similar to TV, AD that describes DMB as cellular phone could change the prior perception. And AD that describes DMB as personal TV, could enforce the prior perception. For data collection, subjects are selected from undergraduate students because they have basic knowledge about most digital equipments and have open attitude about a new product and media. Total number of subjects is 240. In order to measure perception about DMB, we use indirect measurement, comparison with other similar digital products. To select similar digital products, we pre-survey students and then finally select PDA, Car-TV, Cellular Phone, MP3 player, TV, and PSP. Quasi experiment is done at several classes under instructor's allowance. After brief introduction, prior knowledge, awareness, and usage about DMB as well as other digital instruments is asked and their similarities and perceived characteristics are measured. And then, two kinds of manipulated color-printed AD are distributed and similarities and perceived characteristics for DMB are re-measured. Finally purchase intension, AD attitude, manipulation check, and demographic variables are asked. Subjects are given small gift for participation. Stimuli are color-printed advertising. Their actual size is A4 and made after several pre-test from AD professionals and students. As results, consumers are segmented into two subgroups based on their perceptions of DMB. Similarity measure between DMB and cellular phone and similarity measure between DMB and TV are used to classify consumers. If subject whose first measure is less than the second measure, she is classified into segment A and segment A is characterized as they perceive DMB like TV. Otherwise, they are classified as segment B, who perceives DMB like cellular phone. Discriminant analysis on these groups with their characteristics of usage and attitude shows that Segment A knows much about DMB and uses a lot of digital instrument. Segment B, who thinks DMB as cellular phone doesn't know well about DMB and not familiar with other digital instruments. So, consumers with higher knowledge perceive DMB similar to TV because launching DMB advertising lead consumer think DMB as TV. Consumers with less interest on digital products don't know well about DMB AD and then think DMB as cellular phone. In order to investigate perceptions of DMB as well as other digital instruments, we apply Proxscal analysis, Multidimensional Scaling technique at SPSS statistical package. At first step, subjects are presented 21 pairs of 7 digital instruments and evaluate similarity judgments on 7 point scale. And for each segment, their similarity judgments are averaged and similarity matrix is made. Secondly, Proxscal analysis of segment A and B are done. At third stage, get similarity judgment between DMB and other digital instruments after AD exposure. Lastly, similarity judgments of group A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2 are named as 'after DMB' and put them into matrix made at the first stage. Then apply Proxscal analysis on these matrixes and check the positional difference of DMB and after DMB. The results show that map of segment A, who perceives DMB similar as TV, shows that DMB position closer to TV than to Cellular phone as expected. Map of segment B, who perceive DMB similar as cellular phone shows that DMB position closer to Cellular phone than to TV as expected. Stress value and R-square is acceptable. And, change results after stimuli, manipulated Advertising show that AD makes DMB perception bent toward Cellular phone when Cellular phone-like AD is exposed, and that DMB positioning move towards Car-TV which is more personalized one when TV-like AD is exposed. It is true for both segment, A and B, consistently. Furthermore, the paper apply correspondence analysis to the same data and find almost the same results. The paper answers two main research questions. The first one is that perception about a new product is made mainly from prior experience. And the second one is that AD is effective in changing and enforcing perception. In addition to above, we extend perception change to purchase intention. Purchase intention is high when AD enforces original perception. AD that shows DMB like TV makes worst intention. This paper has limitations and issues to be pursed in near future. Methodologically, current methodology can't provide statistical test on the perceptual change, since classical MDS models, like Proxscal and correspondence analysis are not probability models. So, a new probability MDS model for testing hypothesis about configuration needs to be developed. Next, advertising message needs to be developed more rigorously from theoretical and managerial perspective. Also experimental procedure could be improved for more realistic data collection. For example, web-based experiment and real product stimuli and multimedia presentation could be employed. Or, one can display products together in simulated shop. In addition, demand and social desirability threats of internal validity could influence on the results. In order to handle the threats, results of the model-intended advertising and other "pseudo" advertising could be compared. Furthermore, one can try various level of innovativeness in order to check whether it make any different results (cf. Moon 2006). In addition, if one can create hypothetical product that is really innovative and new for research, it helps to make a vacant impression status and then to study how to form impression in more rigorous way.

배경: 출혈성 쇼크는 허혈 시 발생하는 산소산화물 등에 의해 체내에 여러 가지 염증반응을 일으킴으로써 각 장기의 기능부전을 초래한다. 특히 폐장은 허혈 시 조기에 폐포 세포의 투과성이 증가하여 부종, 염증세포의 침윤 및 출혈 등이 일어나 호흡부전증을 초래한다. 또한 출혈성 쇼크 시 기본적으로 시행하는 수액 요법은 간질의 부종을 일으켜 폐장의 기능을 감소시킬 수 있는 위험 요소이다. 따라서 출혈성 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 저하를 예방하기 위해서는 폐장의 염증 반응을 줄이고 폐부종을 최소화시키는 노력이 필요하다. 대상 및 방법: $300{\sim}350$ gm 정도의 수컷 흰쥐를 이용하여 경정맥을 통해 약 3 mL/100 g의 혈액을 제거하여 평균 경동맥압 $35{\sim}40$ mmHg의 출혈성 쇼크 상태(I단계, 60분)를 유도하고 유지한 후, 제거한 혈액을 재주입하고 수액요법을 실시하여 평균 경동맥압을 80 mmHg로 유지하는 소생 상태(II 단계, 60분)를 시행한 후 약 3시간 정도 경과를 관찰(III 단계)하였다. 실험동물은 3군으로 나누어 실험하였으며 I군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II 단계에서 린저액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. II 군(n=10)은 I 단계 시 직장체온을 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 유지하고 II단계에서 린저액을 이용한 수액요법을 실시하였다. III군은 I단계 시 $33{\pm}1^{\circ}C$로 체온을 유지하였고 II 단계에서 5% 알부민액을 이용하여 수액요법을 실시하였다. 각 군 모두 실험 전, I, II, III 단계 후반에 혈류역학적 인자(심박수, 평균 경동맥압), 동맥혈 가스 분석, 혈청내 포도당과 LDH, I, II단계의 투여 수액양, 기관지-폐포 세척액의 Interleukin(IL)-8을 측정하였고, 조직검사를 통해 염증반응의 정도를 조직학적 점수로 평가하였다. 결과: I군의 4예를 제외한 26예가 III단계까지 생존하였다. 각 군 간의 평균 경동맥압의 유의한 차이는 없었다. 그러나 실험 1단계에서의 채혈량은 I군은 $3.2{\pm}0.5$ mL/100 g으로 II, III 군의 $3.9{\pm}0.8$ mL/100 g, $4.1{\pm}0.7$ mL/100 g에 비해 각각 유의하게 적었다(p< 0.05). II 단계에서의 투여 수액량은 I 군 $28.6{\pm}6.0$ mL, II 군 $20.6{\pm}4.0$ mL, III 군 $14.7{\pm}2.7$ mL로 각 군 간에 통계적인 유의성이 있었다(p<0.05). 혈청내 칼륨 농도는 I군에서 II군에 비해 소생술 후 의의 있게 높았으며(p<0.05), 포도당 농도는 II단계의 I군에서 타군과 비교하여 현저히 낮았다(p<0.05). IL-8은 I 군 $1,834{\pm}437$ pg/mL, II 군 $1,006{\pm}532$ pg/mL, III군 $764{\pm}302$ pg/mL로 I 군에서 II 및 III군과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), 폐조직의 조직검사를 통해 평가한 염증세포 분포 점수에서 III 군이 $1.6{\pm}0.6$으로 I 군 $2.8{\pm}1.2$에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 결론: 압력 조절형 출혈성 쇼크 모델에서 시행한 저체온법은 정상체온을 유지하고 있는 군에 비해 쇼크 상태에서의 기초대사량을 줄여줌으로써 허혈에 의한 조직의 직접적인 손상을 억제할 수 있으리라 생각된다. 또한 저체온법은 수액의 사용량을 줄여주고 IL-8등의 싸이토카인 분비를 억제시키며 백혈구의 침윤을 줄여줌으로써 쇼크 후 폐장의 기능 회복에 도움을 준다. 그러나 저체온법을 시행한 군에서도 투여하는 수액을 달리함으로써 폐장의 염증변화나 손상이 차이를 나타낼 수 있을 것으로 생각되며 이에 대한 세심한 연구가 있어야 할 것이다.

핵의학검사에서 $^{131}I$은 갑상선암 및 질환의 진단, 치료등 핵의학 검사에서 많이 사용되고 있다. $^{131}I$은 ${\gamma}$선과 ${\beta}^-$선을 방출하여 검사와 치료를 할 수 있고, 높은 집적율과 신장을 통한 빠른 배설이 용이 하지만, $^{131}I$(364 keV)은 $^{99m}Tc$(140 keV)보다 고에너지이기 때문에 작업을 수행 시 조작 및 투여 과정에서 $^{99m}Tc$보다 술자의 피폭을 줄이기 위해 외부피폭 방어의 3요소인 거리, 시간, 차폐 중에 차폐에 주안점을 두어 $^{131}I$ 조작 시 차 폐체 착용 전과 후의 피폭선량의 차이를 비교하고자 한다. Apron(보통 Pb 0.5 mm) 착용 시 $^{99m}Tc$은 90%이상이 차폐가 되지만, $^{131}I$은 고에너지이기 때문에 차폐효과가 비교적 낮고, 고용량의 경우 산란선(2차) 및 제동방사선의 영향으로 오히려 더 피폭을 받을 수 있다. 하지만 저용량(74 MBq) 고에너지의 경우 이에 대한 특별한 보고나 Guide Line이 마련되어 있지 않아, $^{131}I$ 조작 시 Apron 착용 유무에 따른 술자의 피폭선량을 정량적으로 분석하고자 한다. 본원 핵의학과에서 2014년 6월부터 2014년 12월까지 7개월 동안 갑상선암 치료 및 진단을 위한 저용량$^{131}I$을 투여하기 위해 방문한 갑상선암 환자를 대상으로 준비과정부터 투여 시까지 연구기간 동안 갑상선, 가슴, 고환 3곳에 Apron 안쪽과 바깥쪽 각각 1개씩 총 6개의 TLD를 부착한 뒤 $^{131}I$검사 과정부터 투여 시 까지의 방사선 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 총 작업시간은 설명시간 3분, 분배시간 1분, 투여시간 1분으로 각각 1인당 5분이내로 설정하였다. TLD 위치설정은 일반적으로 피폭선량을 측정하는 가슴과 방사선 감수성이 높은 갑상선 및 고환으로 설정하였다. 준비과정은 $^{131}I$을 $2m{\ell}$ 주사기를 이용해 74MBq을 분배한 뒤 생리식염수와 희석해 $2m{\ell}$의 용량을 만들어 분배한다. $^{131}I$을 분배 후 환자에게 투여 시 컵에 물을 $100m{\ell}$ 담고 분배한 $^{131}I$을 희석하여 환자 1 m 정도 거리를 두고, 경구투여 한다. 그리고 경구투여 한 $2m{\ell}$ 주사기와 컵을 폐기하는 과정을 Apron과 TLD를 착용한 상태에서 시행하였다. Apron과 TLD는 방사선 피폭이 미치지 않는 보관실에 따로 보관하였고, 서울방사선 서비스에 의뢰하여 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 연구기간 동안 저용량 $^{131}I$ 검사 시 갑상선, 가슴, 고환 부위에 Apron 안과 밖d[착용한 TLD의 매월 누적선량을 인원수로 나눈 결과를 가지고, SPSS Version. 12.0K를 이용해 Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test를 사용하여 통계를 시행하였다. 그 결과 갑상선(p = 0.345), 가슴(p = 0.686), 고환(p = 0.715)은 모두 p > 0.05으로 유의한 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 연구기간 동안의 총 누적선량의 변화를 백분율로 환산하였을 때, 갑상선 -23.5%, 가슴 -8.3%, 고환 19.0%로 나타났다. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test를 사용한 결과 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다(p > 0.05). 또한 7개월간의 누적선량으로 차폐율을 계산 했을 때 에는 Apron 안쪽과 바깥쪽의 피폭선량의 변화가 불규칙적으로 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 이 결과는 백분율로 표현 시 변화폭이 커보이지만, 누적 피폭선량이 소수점 이하이므로 큰 변화라고 보기 어렵다. 그러므로 고에너지 저용량 $^{131}I$ 투여 시 Apron을 착용유무와 상관없이 일정한 거리를 두고 최대한 빠른 시간 내에 투여를 종료하는 것이 피폭선량을 줄이는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 본 연구는 $^{131}I$ 투여시간을 1인당 각 5분 이내로 투여 할 수 있도록 제한하고, 거리를 1 m로 일정하게 하여 작업 할 수 있도록 하였으나 통계 시 N수가 적어서 비모수적인 방법으로 통계를 시행함으로써 정확한 결과를 얻기에 부족한 부분이 있었다. 또한 저용량 $^{131}I$ 투여 시 각 1인당 피폭선량을 직독식 선량으로 측정하지 못하고, TLD를 이용한 누적선량으로 측정한 결과 값이므로 전자선량계 및 포켓선량계를 이용한 측정이 이루어진다면 더 효과적인 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

제조 중소기업들은 지속적인 성장과 생존을 위해 새로운 제품 개발에 필요한 많은 정보가 필요할 뿐만 아니라 자원의 한계를 극복하기 위한 네트워킹(networking)을 추구하지만, 규모의 한계로 인해 한계점에 봉착하게 된다. 초연결성으로 인해 비즈니스 환경의 복잡성과 불확실성이 더욱 높아지는 새로운 시대에 중소기업은 신속한 정보 확보와 네트워킹 문제를 해결이 더욱 절실해지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 공공기관인 정부출연(연)구기관(이하 '출연(연)')은 중소기업의 정보 비대칭성 문제를 해결해야하는 중요한 임무와 역할을 맞이하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비즈니스 인텔리젼스의 경쟁 지능화(competitive intelligence) 기능과 외부 네트워크 활성화를 위한 서비스 인프라(service infrastructure)의 기능을 포함한 공공 정보지원 인프라를 통한 간접지원의 성과를 확산하고자 하는 목적으로 출연(연)이 중소기업의 혁신역량 제고를 위해 제공하는 공공 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 중소기업의 차별적 특징을 파악하고, 인프라가 기업의 성과에 어떻게 기여하는 가를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 첫째, 출연(연)이 제공한 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 제조 중소기업은 다른 중소기업과 어떤 차별적인 특정이 있는가? 라는 연구 질의를 도출하였다. 추가적으로 단순히 선택적 편의 여부를 판단하는 것을 넘어서 출연(연) 정보지원 인프라를 활용한 제조 중소기업의 특징을 복수 집단의 특징과 비교하는 연구를 진행하였다. 둘째, 출연(연)이 제공하는 정보지원 인프라를 활용한 제조 중소기업의 외부 네트워킹 역량이 제품 경쟁력에 어떻게 기여했는가? 라는 연구 질의이다. 본 연구에서 공공 정보지원 인프라에 의해서 강화된 외부 네트워킹 역량이 어떻게 제품 경쟁력에 영향을 미쳤는지 정밀하게 분석하기 위해 복수의 변수에 대한 매개 및 조절 효과 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 모형을 도출하기하기 위해 첫째, 외부 네트워킹이 기술혁신성과에 영향력에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 일반적으로 기업들은 외부 네트워킹(networking) 전략을 통해 혁신에 필요한 가치 있는 정보를 획득할 수 있기 때문에 기술혁신성과를 높일 수 있다. 정보 획득은 중소 제조기업 경영자의 혁신에 대한 인식을 강화할 뿐만아니라, 의사결정을 효율적으로 하여 경쟁력을 강화시킬 수 있게 된다. 대기업에 비해 인력과 자금의 규모 한계를 극복하기 위해 중소기업은 외부 조직과의 협력관계를 보다 적극적으로 추구한다. 둘째, 기술사업화 역량이 기술혁신성과에 미치는 관계에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 기술사업화는 생산과 마케팅을 통합하여 새로운 기술을 만드는 역량을 말한다. 우수한 생산 역량을 보유한 기업은 소비자의 수요를 가격, 품질, 신기능 측면에서 신속하게 충족시킬 수 있어 시장내 경쟁우위를 창출하고, 그 결과로 높은 재무적 혁신적 성과를 가져온다고 본다. 혁신적인 기업은 생산 역량과 마케팅 역량에서 일반 기업보다 높은 성과를 나타내는데, 기술혁신성과의 대표 지표로 제품 경쟁력을 지목하고 있다. 마지막으로 기업의 규모가 작을수록 새로운 혁신 정보를 확보할 수 있는 자체 정보지원 인프라가 없는 경향이 있다. 중소기업용 정보인프라는 기업의 제품 또는 서비스 역량을 강화하기 위한 전략에 필요한 중요한 정보를 확보할 수 있어야 하며, 데이터에 대한 해석 기능이 있어야 하고, 기업의 성장과 발전을 위한 다양한 주제(대기업, 공급자, 소비자 등)와의 협력 전략을 수립을 도울 수 있는 기능이 요구된다. 종합하면, 연구모형은 외부 네트워킹 역량(독립변수)이 기술혁신성과인 제품 경쟁력(종속변수)에 영향을 주는 기본 모형에 기술사업화 역량을 매개요인으로 적용하였고, 이들의 관계에 기업의 내부역량(연구원 집중도, 매출액, 업력)이 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 기업의 내부역량과 관련된 변수들을 통제하였다. 또한 KISTI가 제공한 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용한 기업별 역량 차이를 분석하기 위해, 정보지원 인프라 활용(효율성)과 관련된 KISTI 외부 기술사업화 전문가(멘토링) 정보지원 횟수의 조절 변수로 고려하였다. 본 연구에서 활용한 데이터 원천은 2차 정보인 '제8차 중소기업 기술통계조사' 자료와 1차 정보인 KISTI의 직접 설문 자료다. '제8차 중소기업 기술통계조사' 는 중소기업청과 중소기업중앙회에서 공동으로 매년 실시되고 있으며, 설문 조사의 모집단은 종사자수 5인 이상 300인 미만인 제조업 및 제조업 외 기업 중에서 기술개발을 수행하고 있는 중소기업 43,204개사이다. 이 중에서 2014년 12월 31일 현재 기준으로 기술개발을 수행하고 있는 3,300개 중소기업을 표본추출하여 방문조사를 실시하여 수집한 자료이다. 본 연구에서 KISTI의 정보지원 인프라를 통해 지원받은 290개의 KISTI 패밀리 기업(ASTI)을 대상으로 2017년에 전자 메일을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 송부된 290개의 설문지 중 222개의 기업에서 회신을 보내왔으며 그 중에서 설문 내용이 유효한 설문 조사는 149건으로 활용율은 51.3%였다. 분석 결과에 대한 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 규모면에서는 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용 제조 중소기업(ASTI 설문 집단)과 R&D 중소기업(KBIZ 설문 집단)의 성향은 통계적으로 유의미하게 차이가 있었지만, 보다 많은 변수를 종합적으로 보면 크게 다르지 않은 집단이라고 판단했다. 공공 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 제조 중소기업은 이미 출연(연)과 협업이 가능한 집단을 대표하는 성향 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 외부 네트워킹 역량 강화가 제품 경쟁력 제고에 기여하는데 있어서 기술사업화 역량(마케팅 및 생산 역량)이 가지는 매개 효과의 가능성을 탐색하기 위해서 먼저 통제 변수는 고려하지 않고, Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 매개 효과 분석을 수행했다. 분석결과 외부 네트워크 역량 강화 효과가 제품 경쟁력을 강화시키는 것으로 보였지만, 실제는 기술사업화 역량의 제고를 통해 제품 경쟁력을 강화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용의 효과성을 판단하기 위한 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 조절효과 분석을 위해 3단계의 위계적 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 외부 네트워킹 역량과 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 상호작용항이 혁신성과(제품 경쟁력)에 유의한 영향을 미쳤을 뿐 아니라, 모델의 설명력도 증가하여, 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 조절 효과가 검증되었다. 마지막으로 앞서 확인된 복수 매개효과와 조절효과가 동시에 나타날 수 있는 가능성을 판단하기 위해서 매개된 조절효과를 검토했다. 분석결과 외부 네트워킹 역량이 높아지면 제품 경쟁력 제고에 양의 영향을 주지만, 조절 변수인 멘토링 지원 횟수가 높아질수록 그 영향은 오히려 약화되었다. 그리고 외부 네트워킹 역량이 높아지면 사업화 역량(마케팅과 생산)이 높아져서 제품 경쟁력이 높아지며, 조절변수인 멘토링 지원 횟수가 높아지면 독립변수 외부 네트워킹 역량이 매개변수 생산 역량에 미치는 역량이 작아졌다. 종합하면, 외부 네트워킹 역량의 제고는 제품 경쟁력을 높이는데 기여하는데, 직접적 기여하지는 않지만 마케팅과 생산 역량을 높여 간접적으로 기여한다(완전 매개 효과). 또한 이 과정에서 멘토링의 정보적 지원 횟수는 외부 네트워킹 역량 제고가 생산 역량을 제고하는 매개효과에 영향을 준다(순수 조절 효과). 그러나 멘토링 정보 지원 횟수는 마케팅 역량 제고와 제품경쟁력에 별다른 조절 효과를 보이진 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구를 통한 시사점은 다음과 같다. KISTI의 정보지원 인프라는 서비스 활용 마케팅이 이미 잘 진행되고 있다는 결론을 이끌 수도 있지만, 반면에 시장의 정보 불균형을 해소하는 공공적 기능보다는(열위 기업 지원) 성과가 잘 도출될 수 있는 집단을 지원해서(의도적 선택적 편의) 성과가 잘 나타나도록 관리하고 있다는 결론에 이를 수 있다. 연구 결과를 통해서 우리는 공공 정보지원 인프라가 어떻게 제품경쟁력 제고에 기여하는지 확인했는데, 여기서 우리는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 정책적 시사점을 도출할 수 있다. 첫째, 정보지원 인프라는 분석된 정보뿐만아니라 이 정보를 제공하는 기관(또는 전문가)과 지속적인 교류나 이런 기관을 찾는 역량을 높이는 기능이 있어야 한다. 둘째, 공공 정보지원 (온라인) 인프라의 활용이 효과적이라면 병행적인 오프라인 지원인 정보 멘토링이 지속적으로 제공될 필요는 없으며, 오히려 멘토링과 같은 오프라인 병행 지원은 성과 제고보다는 이상징후 감시에 적절한 장치로 활용되어야 한다. 셋째, 셋째, 공공 정보지원 인프라를 통한 네트워킹 역량 제고와 이를 통한 제품경쟁력 제고 효과는 특정 중소기업에서 나타나기 보다는 대부분 형태의 기업에서 나타나기 때문에, 중소기업이 활용 능력을 제고할 노력이 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 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. 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.

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.

연구배경: 압력보조는 환자의 흡기시 정해진 양의 양압을 보조하여 상시호흡량을 증가시키거나, 호흡일을 경감시키는 목적으로 쓰이는 기계환기법으로 본 연구는 자발적 호흡이 허용되는 SIMV 및 CPAP 양식에서 PS를 사용할 경우 환자의 호흡역학상 어떤 차이가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 중환자실에 입원하여 호흡부전으로 기계환기중인 환자로 임상적으로 안정되었고 자발적 호흡횟수가 분당 12회 이상인 환자 14명을 대상으로, 먼저 CPAP(3 cm $H_2O$) 양식하에서 0, 5, 10 및 15 cm $H_2O$의 PS를 순서대로 적용하면서 CP-100 pulmonary monitor(Bicore, USA)를 이용하여 호흡역학 지수들을 측정하고 이어서 SIMV 양식으로 바꾸어 같은 방법으로 호흡역학 지수들을 측정하였다. 결과: 1) CPAP 및 SIMV 방식하에서 PS가 호흡역학에 미친 공통된 효과 CPAP 양식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 상시호흡량은 증가하였고, WOB과 PTP는 감소하였다. SIMV 방식하에서도 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 상시호흡량은 증가하였고, WOB과 PTP 역시 유의하게 감소하였다. 2) CPAP 및 SIMV 방식하에서 PS가 호흡역학에 미치는 효과의 차이 CPAP 방식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 분당호흡수는 유의한 변동이 없었고, $P_{0.1}$과 $T_1/T_{TOT}$은 유의하게 감소되었다. SIMV 방식하에서 PS를 증가시킴에 따라 분당호흡수는 유의하게 감소한 반면, $P_{0.1}$과 $T_1/T_{TOT}$은 유의한 변동이 없었다. 3) CPAP+PS 양식에서 SIMV 단독양식에서와 같은 상시호흡량을 얻는 상태에서의 호흡역학의 비교 동일 환자에서 CPAP+PS 양식으로 SIMV 단독양식에서의 상시호흡량이 얻어지는 상태에서 분당호흡수 WOB, $P_{0.1}$ 등에는 양 방식 간에 차이가 없었으나 PTP와 $T_1/T_{TOT}$은 CPAP+PS 양식이 유의하게 낮았다. 결론: 기계호흡에서 압력보조의 사용은 CPAP 및 SIMV 양식 모두에서 상시호흡량을 증가시키고, 환자의 호흡일, 호흡근 산소소모량 지수를 감소시켰으며, 분당호흡수의 감소는 SIMV 방식에서만 관찰되었고, 중추성호흡추진력의 감소와 호흡근의 지구력지수의 호전은 CPAP 방식에서만 관찰되었다. 한편 상시호흡량이 같은 수준에서의 CPAP+ PS 방법은 SIMV 법에 비해 호흡근의 일효율이 더 높고 호흡근의 지구력지수가 더 우수하였다. 따라서, 기계적환기 유지기나 이탈과정의 환자에서 압력보조의 겸용은 환자의 호흡역학 상태를 개선하는 것으로 사료된다.
