  • According to technology acceptance model(TAN) which is one of the most important research models for explaining IT users' behavior, on intention of using IT is determined by usefulness and ease of use of it. However, TAM wouldn't explain the performance of using IT while it has been considered as a very good model for prediction of the intention. Many people would not be confirmed in the performance of using IT until they can control it at their will, although they think it useful and easy to use. In other words, in addition to usefulness and ease of use as in TAM, controllability is also should be a factor to determine acceptance of IT. Especially, there is a very close relationship between controllability and ease of use, both of which explain the other sides of control over the performance of using IT, so called perceived behavioral control(PBC) in social psychology. The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between ease of use and controllability, and analyse the effects of both two beliefs over performance and intention in using IT. For this purpose, we review the issues related with PBC in information systems studies as well as social psychology, Based on a review of PBC, we suggest a research model which includes the relationship between control and performance in using IT, and prove its validity empirically. Since it was introduced as qa variable for explaining volitional control for actions in theory of planned behavior(TPB), there have been confusion about concept of PBC in spite of its important role in predicting so many kinds of actions. Some studies define PBC as self-efficacy that means actor's perception of difficulty or ease of actions, while others as controllability. However, this confusion dose not imply conceptual contradiction but a double-faced feature of PBC since the performance of actions is related with both self-efficacy and controllability. In other words, these two concepts are discriminated and correlated with each other. Therefore, PBC should be considered as a composite concept consisting of self-efficacy and controllability, Use of IT has been also one of important areas for predictions by PBC. Most of them have been studied by analysis of comparison in prediction power between TAM and TPB or modification of TAM by inclusion of PBC as another belief as like usefulness and ease of use. Interestingly, unlike the other applications in social psychology, it is hard to find such confusion in the concept of PBC in the studies for use of IT. In most of studies, controllability is adapted as PBC since the concept of self-efficacy is included in ease of use explicitly. Based on these discussions, we can suggest perceived use control(PUC) which is defined as perception of control over the performance of using IT and composed of controllability and ease of use as sub-concepts. We suggest a research model explaining acceptance of IT which includes the relationships of PUC with attitude and performance of using IT. For empirical test of our research model, two user groups are selected for surveying questionnaires. In the first group, there are freshmen who take a basic course for Microsoft Excel, and the second group consists of senior students who take a course for analysis of management information by Excel. Most of measurements are adapted ones that have been validated in the other studies, while performance is real score of mid-term in each class. In result, four hypotheses related with PUC are supported statistically with very low significance level. Main contribution of this study is suggestion of PUC through theoretical review of PBC. Specifically, a hierarchical model of PUC are derived from very rigorous studies in the relationship between self-efficacy and controllability with a view of PBC in social psychology. The relationship between PUC and performance is another main contribution.

  • 과학교육 매체로서 연극의 활용가능성을 탐색하기 위해 초등학생의 수준에 적절한 과학 연극 두 편을 개발하고, 개발된 과학 연극을 학교 현장에서 지도함으로써 과학 연극을 통한 과학 교수 학습의 효과를 살펴보았다. 개발한 연극은 미국의 원자폭탄 개발을 다룬 '맨해튼 계획'과 혈액형의 유전 방법을 다룬 '엄마, 난 O형 이래요' 두 가지로 전자는 과학 논쟁 연극이고, 후자는 과학 개념 연극이다. 또한 6단계로 구성된 과학 연극 수업 모형과 지도 교사를 위한 지도안을 구성하였다. 과학 개념 연극은 3학년 학생을 대상으로 실시하였고, 과학 논쟁 연극은 5학년 학생을 대상으로 실시하였다. 지도 교사는 연극 수업의 준비, 실시과정에서 일지를 통해 학급에서 일어났었던 일과 이에 대한 자신의 생각을 정리하였으며, 과학 연극 수업은 비디오로 녹화 분석되었다. 또 과학 연극에 대한 학생의 반응을 알아보기 위해 일부 학생을 대상으로 면담을 실시하고, 전체 학생을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였다. 면담은 연극 참여 학생 일부와 관람 학생 일부를 대상으로 지도 교사가 연극 수업 직후 비형식적 방법으로 실시하였다. 수업 직후 실시된 설문에서는 과학 연극 수업에 대한 반응을 5점 척도로 조사하고(4문항), 수업 전후의 생각을 비교하게 하거나 수업을 통해 알게 된 내용을 쓰도록 하였다. 연구 결과 두 과학 연극 수업에 대한 학생들과 지도교사의 반응은 매우 긍정적이었으며, '맨해튼 계획' 보다는 '엄마, 난 O형 이래요' 가, 남학생보다는 여학생이 좀 더 긍정적인 반응을 보였으며 또 다른 과학 연극 수업을 기 대하기도 하였다. '엄마, 난 O형 이래요' 의 경우 연극에서 다룬 과학 지식의 내용을 대부분의 학생들(93%)이 잘 이해했으며, '맨해튼 계획' 의 경우 연극 관람 후, 원자폭탄의 사회적 이용에 대한 보다 다양한 책임 소재를 인식하였다. 그러나 핵의 위력(위험성)과 원자폭탄의 피해 상황을 부각하여 인식하는 경향도 발견되었다. 이러한 결과는 과학 연극 수업시, 주제와 관련된 학습 활동이나 토론 등을 보다 적극적으로 계획하고 실시하는 것이 필요함을 시사한다. 한편 지도 교사는 연극이라는 형식이 매우 새롭고 다른 수업 방법으로 다루기 어려운 내용을 지도할 수 있음을 인식하였으며 과학 연극 수업에 학생들의 흥미와 참여도가 높은 것에 대해 만족해했다. 그러나 두 경우 모두 이러한 과학 연극 수업이 정규 수업 외에 교사가 별도의 시간을 할애하여 준비해야 한다는 점에서 어려움이 있음을 지적하였다.

  • 본 연구는 '우주폐기물'(space debris)을 포한한 우주의 환경보호를 위한 국제우주법을 살펴보고자 하는 것인데, 1967년 우주조약을 포함한 1968년 구조협정, 1972년 책임협약, 1975년 등록협약, 1979년 달협정이 국제법상 우주에서의 환경문제를 다루는 조약이지만 이에 관하여 비교적 매우 적게 다루고 있다. 그 이유는 이 협약들이 제정될 당시 국가들은 우주활동의 기본규칙제정에 주로 관심을 쏟았지 우주활동과정에서 파생되는 환경훼손이나 위험요소에 관한 문제는 그리 심각한 문제가 아니었기 때문이다. 특히 1967년 우주조약은 '유해한 오염'(harmful contamination)이나 '유해한 방해'(harmful interference), '환경의 불리한 변화'(adverse changes in the environment)이라는 용어만 사용할 뿐 이것들에 대한 정의가 없으며, 1979년 달협정 역시 우주조약과 마찬가지로 '유해한 오염', '불리한 변화', '환경의 방해'(disruption of the environment), '유해한 영향'(harmfully affecting) 등과 같은 중요한 개념에 대한 정의를 내리지 못하고 있다. 이 두 협약은 구조협정과 등록협약과 함께 모두 '우주폐기물'(space debris)에 관하여 언급 하지 않고 있다. 또한 1972년 책임협약이 배상문제를 다루고 있지만 동 협약에서 규정하고 있는 우주물체(space objects)의 개념에 우주폐기물이 포함되는지의 여부도 Cosmos 954 사건의 선례에도 불구하고 아직 불분명하다. H. A. Baker도 우주환경에 대한 손해(damage to the outer space environment)는 책임협약의 범위를 넘는 것이며 결론적으로 책임협약이 우주폐기물을 다루는 협약인지는 불분명하다고 한 바 있다. 이러한 면에서 우주폐기물을 포함한 환경보호문제를 위하여 기존협약들을 수정 보완하는 별도의 추가의정서를 채택하거나 또는 별도의 조약을 제정하자는 필요성이 제기되는 것이다. 한편 COPUOS의 우주폐기물 경감에 관한 가이드라인이나 NPS원칙과 같은 UN 결의나 ILA 협약초안과 같은 협약의 초안들은 엄밀하게 말해서 법적 구속력은 없다. 다시 말해서 이것들은 국가들을 구속하는 법문서는 아니다. 현존하는 우주법에 관한 조약들의 관점에서 볼 때는 일종의 권고의 형태로써 우주관련조약들의 보충적 역할을 할 수 있을 뿐이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 많은 학자들이 이러한 결의 속에 나타난 몇 개의 원칙들은 국제관습법을 표명하고 있다고 주장하기도 한다. 예를 들어 우주에서의 NPS의 통지나 사용, 책임에 관한 규칙들은 법의 일반적 성격에 대한 기초를 형성하는 것으로 간주되는 '근본적으로 규범설적 성격'(a fundamentally norm-creating character)을 지닌 것으로 볼 수 있는데, 국가관행이 이를 더욱 증명해주고 있다. 이러한 결의들을 연성법(soft law)이라고 하는데 연성법은 경성법(hard law)인 조약의 부족한 부분을 보충해주고 있으며, 조약으로 발전하기도 한다. 또한 연성법은 국가들이 점차 수용할 때 그것은 국제관습법이 될 수 있으며 국제관습법은 모든 국가를 구속한다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

  • The purposes of this study were to identify responses of nursing students following clinical maternity nursing practice, to develop data of further effective clinical maternity nursing practice, to understand nursing students perceive the natural maturation process toward pregnancy delivery and puerperal process, to help the nursing students achieve personality growth and development through clinical maternity nursing practice. The subjects were 35 senior nursing students from the Department of Nursing Science of Chung-Ang University. The data were collected from the 1st semester (Feb.22$\sim$June 9) to the 2nd semester(Aug.23$\sim$Nov.10), 1993 through self-reporting using an open ended questionnaire about perception and feelings regarding the normal delivery process. The data analysis used descriptive method. Results of the study were as follows : 1. Following clinical practice in maternity nursing, the responses of the nursing students were collected included both positive and negative aspects. The positive responses were classified in to four categories and each category included subgroups. One group, labelled as $\ulcorner$The birth of noble life$\lrcorner$ had a subgroup, (I felt the mystery and wonder of life), another group, $\ulcorner$After delivery, comfort and satisfaction$\lrcorner$ with the subgroup (I can bear to see the comfort and relief beyond pain) (C/S is better than vaginal delivery) (Very easy), the 3rd group, $\ulcorner$ I realized family friendship and support$\lrcorner$ with subgroup (Honorable, Magnificient) (I thank my parents ) (It's good to looking at my husband's support), and the 4th group, $\ulcorner$The birth of a healthy baby$\lrcorner$, with its subgroup, (baby looks pretty and healthy). 2. The negative responses were classified in eight categories and each category included subgroups. One group labelled as $\ulcorner$Fear$\lrcorner$, had subgroups of (Terrible, Horrible) (Shock) (Dread), another group, $\ulcorner$Tension$\lrcorner$, and its subgroup, (I became tense about stories heard before clinical practice), the 3rd group, $\ulcorner$surprise$\lrcorner$ and its subgroup (I was surprised at the delivery process), the 4th group, $\ulcorner$Power lessness$\lrcorner$ and its subgroup, (I watched the labor pain impatiently), the 5th group $\ulcorner$Apathy$\lrcorner$ ; and its subgroup, (I didn't feel the empathy for the labor pain of the pregnant women), the 6th group, $\ulcorner$Disgust$\lrcorner$ and its subgroup, (Disgust, Embarrassed), the 7th group, $\ulcorner$Inevitable destiny$\lrcorner$ and its subgroups (necessity of self-sacrifice and difficulty) (I accepted it as a women's destiny) (I can't do it), the last group, $\ulcorner$There seems to be trouble$\lrcorner$ and its subgroup, (It seems to have been a little too hard for mother and baby). Suggestions for further studies are as follows : 1. Nursing students should receive intensive education about $\ulcorner$The birth of noble life$\lrcorner$ $\ulcorner$After delivery, comfort and satisfaction$\lrcorner$ $\ulcorner$I realized family friendship and support$\lrcorner$ $\ulcorner$The birth of a healthy baby$\lrcorner$, so that a more positive attitude can be developed before clinical maternity nursing. 2. Nursing students should be given an orientation which is reality based and related clinical maternity nursing (using for A.V. Materials), so that they will not feel they tension, of the negative categories. 3. Nursing students should be received articles on Pain Relief Method, so that they will be prepared activie and positive in the clinical practice, and therefore they will not feel the powerlessness, of the negative categories. 4. F/U for responses of nursing students should be checked following clinical maternity nursing to evaluate the effects of the instruction.

  • 급격한 방송통신 융합 현상의 진전으로 인해 기존 수직적 규제체계의 한계를 극복하기 위해 수평적 규제체계 도입이 논의되고 있다. 하지만 수평적 규제체계도 생태계 산업구조의 등장으로 인해 한계를 노출하고 있다. 방송통신 생태계가 구축된 경우의 경쟁상황은 개별 사업자간 경쟁을 전제한 경쟁상황과는 다른 모습으로 나타난다. 중추적 사업자의 사업전략에 따라 다양한 구조의 생태계가 존재하게 되고, 이러한 중추적 사업자의 역량이 생태계 간 경쟁의 핵심이 된다. 그런데, 중추적 사업자의 특성이나 사업 전략에 따라 그가 존재하는 계층 영역이 달라질 수 있으므로, 생태계 간 경쟁 환경에 수평적 규제체계를 그대로 적용할 경우 일반적으로 경제적 규제의 강도가 약한 콘텐츠 계층에 중추적 사업자가 존재하는 생태계는 전송 계층에 중추적 사업자가 위치하는 생태계에 비해 상대적으로 약한 규제를 받게 되어 생태계에 따라 규제 차등화가 발생하게 되고 이는 생태계간 경쟁왜곡 현상을 초래하는 제도적 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 경쟁왜곡 현상을 완화하기 위한 방안으로서 생태계 요소를 반영한 방송통신 규제체계로는 전혀 새로운 규제체계를 정립하는 방안과 기존 제도를 활용하는 두 가지 방안을 상정할 수 있다. 그러나 방송통신 생태계가 너무 복잡하여 다양한 시장변화 동인 모두를 적절하게 포괄하는 유효경쟁에 관한 단일한 기준을 도출하기 어려운 현 상황에서 전혀 새로운 규제체계를 마련하는 것은 비현실적이다. 따라서 이 글에서는 수평적 규제체계를 전제로 하면서도 생태계 요소를 반영하는 규제체계를 정립하는 방안으로 경쟁상황평가제도에 생태계 요소를 반영하고 경쟁상황평가제도와 구체적인 규제수단 마련의 연계성을 강화하는 방안을 제안하였다. 이러한 방안은 수평적 규제체계를 집행하기 위한 사업자분류체계로서 논의되는 2단계 분류체계나 3단계 분류체계 어느 것과도 결합될 수 있다. 그러나 기존의 분류체계에 의하더라도 전송 기능을 담당하고 있지는 않지만 최근 디지털 콘텐츠 유통에서 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있는 앱스토어 등은 규제 영역 밖에 놓이게 될 수 있다. 따라서 이를 플랫폼으로 파악해 규제할 수 있도록 플랫폼 개념을 확대하고 이러한 플랫폼을 제공하는 사업자를 2단계 분류체계 또는 3단계 분류체계 내로 위치지우는 방식으로주제어:수평적 규제체계, 생태계, 전송단계, 콘텐츠 단계, 중추적 사업자, 상당한 지배력을 가진 사업자(SMP), 방송법, 통신법 사업자 분류체계를 구성하는 것이 타당하다고 생각한다.

  • If we define theatre as an infinite tower piled up by smoke, the strata of the organic composition of an actor's/actress' body-mind-spirit, may not only be complicatedly worked out, but it seems to belong to a non-scientific realm. However and at the same time, it is also true that the audience is eager to witness a certain kind of specific vitality from the actor/actress on stage. Of course the vitality is hard to be prescribed. Simply we call it a texture of energy, nuance of existence, or much simpler, an actor's/actress' 'aura'. That is, the existential nuance of the actor/actress. The nuance, which is surging from the actor's/actress' authentic presence, ultimately comes out of, not the circumstantial interpretation of the production but the power of its integration. We can find from the works of Meyerhold, Grotowsky and Barba the theatrical fact that the actor's aura can be obtained by a kind of artificiality rather than innate characteristics of existence. These directors commonly regard theatre as the actor's/actress' theatre. Respectively choosing his own specific methods of expression, they unexpectedly meet in a same spot in which actor's/actress' theatre can be realized by the rediscovery of the actor's/actress's body-form. In other words, their approaching methods to theatre look alike, at least in that abandoning reserving any natural, unconscious, economic body-form of an actor/actress, they rather try to discover a certain kind of 'technical' body-form. The form which is totally non/un-conscious, unfamiliar and non-economical. Their research process explores an ideal body-form, and this thesis focuses on this point. For this work, I bring the notion of 'liminality' that connotes the praxis for essential presence of the actor/actress as well as the incubating time and space nacessary for his/her rebirth. And for developing this work, I ask: Could not the actor's/actress' consciousness and the spatiotemporal dimensions (s)he meets, be possibly defined as the core of liminality, only in case that (s)he requires them in the process of, either exploring the unfamiliar body or familiarising with the unfamiliar body-form? As I mentioned above, the three frontiers' theatrical journey is similar in part. For example, three all start from the actor's/actress' consciousness and then go through the body enlarged with it. Then they continue their journey, but different from one another. Meyerhold still uses the conscious body. But now he transforms it into a kind of mobilized sculptures. In comparison with Meyerhold's use of the consciousness, Grotowsky puts his emphasis on an autonomous body which, if necessary, cast away even the innate consciousness. Likewise, to Barba, theatre always starts from the actor/actress who has already taken off all kinds of conventions. (Conventions should be re-designed!) The actor/actress therefore recreates him/herself as his/her body-mind wears a new, unfamiliar, readjusted form and vitality. And then this restructured body-mind may unceasingly aim at exploring its vitalized 'positive organism', that is the waves of self-centering energy, an existential nuance, and an authentic (or maybe behavioral) expressiveness. Now it seems clear that the liminal process for the frontiers' theatrical journey could be equalized as a profound process of self-penetration, self-transformation, and self-realization. This thesis explores the mystic realm of liminality.

  • This paper focuses on the interpretation of radiation fluxes from active galactic nuclei. The advantage of positron annihilation spectroscopy over other methods of spectral diagnostics of active galactic nuclei (therefore AGN) is demonstrated. A relationship between regular and random components in both bolometric and spectral composition of fluxes of quanta and particles generated in AGN is found. We consider their diffuse component separately and also detect radiative feedback after the passage of high-velocity cosmic rays and hard quanta through gas-and-dust aggregates surrounding massive black holes in AGN. The motion of relativistic positrons and electrons in such complex systems produces secondary radiation throughout the whole investigated region of active galactic nuclei in form of cylinder with radius R= 400-1000 pc and height H=200-400 pc, thus causing their visible luminescence across all spectral bands. We obtain radiation and electron energy distribution functions depending on the spatial distribution of the investigated bulk of matter in AGN. Radiation luminescence of the non-central part of AGN is a response to the effects of particles and quanta falling from its center created by atoms, molecules and dust of its diffuse component. The cross-sections for the single-photon annihilation of positrons of different energies with atoms in these active galactic nuclei are determined. For the first time we use the data on the change in chemical composition due to spallation reactions induced by high-energy particles. We establish or define more accurately how the energies of the incident positron, emitted ${\gamma}-quantum$ and recoiling nucleus correlate with the atomic number and weight of the target nucleus. For light elements, we provide detailed tables of all indicated parameters. A new criterion is proposed, based on the use of the ratio of the fluxes of ${\gamma}-quanta$ formed in one- and two-photon annihilation of positrons in a diffuse medium. It is concluded that, as is the case in young supernova remnants, the two-photon annihilation tends to occur in solid-state grains as a result of active loss of kinetic energy of positrons due to ionisation down to thermal energy of free electrons. The single-photon annihilation of positrons manifests itself in the gas component of active galactic nuclei. Such annihilation occurs as interaction between positrons and K-shell electrons; hence, it is suitable for identification of the chemical state of substances comprising the gas component of the investigated media. Specific physical media producing high fluxes of positrons are discussed; it allowed a significant reduction in the number of reaction channels generating positrons. We estimate the brightness distribution in the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra of the gas-and-dust media through which positron fluxes travel with the energy range similar to that recorded by the Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics (PAMELA) research module. Based on the results of our calculations, we analyse the reasons for such a high power of positrons to penetrate through gas-and-dust aggregates. The energy loss of positrons by ionisation is compared to the production of secondary positrons by high-energy cosmic rays in order to determine the depth of their penetration into gas-and-dust aggregations clustered in active galactic nuclei. The relationship between the energy of ${\gamma}-quanta$ emitted upon the single-photon annihilation and the energy of incident electrons is established. The obtained cross sections for positron interactions with bound electrons of the diffuse component of the non-central, peripheral AGN regions allowed us to obtain new spectroscopic characteristics of the atoms involved in single-photon annihilation.

  • 해자란 성벽 외곽에 파 놓은 못 또는 물길로 적이 성벽에 직접 접근할 수 없도록 하거나 이를 경계로 공간을 구분하고자 설치된 시설의 하나로, 고대로부터 중세에 이르기까지 동 서양에서 존재하였으나 현재는 사라져 가고 있다. 그러나 군사적 방어 기능으로부터 공간을 구분하는 경계 수단으로, 지반을 다지는 중요한 역할을 하였으며, 역사적으로 고대로부터 중세, 유럽, 아시아, 미국 등에서 존재하였다. 또한 해자는 물을 이용한 다양한 문화 활동과 동물들의 서식처 장소를 제공하는 등 역사와 문화적 가치가 큰 공간임에도 불구하고, 복원 계획에 있어 해자의 복원에 대한 고려가 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구는 동 서양 해자의 역사와 문화적 의미를 해석하여 고대로부터 중세에 이르기까지 존재했던 해자 문화에 대한 이해를 높이고자 하는 연구로 해자의 기원, 시대적 고찰, 사상적 배경, 서양 해자의 역사와 문화, 동양의 한국, 중국, 일본 해자에 대하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 우리나라의 해자는 고구려 도성뿐만 아니라 신라, 백제의 도성에 모두 존재하였으며, 천연의 해자인 넓은 강을 끼고 적들이 기어오르기 힘든 산 능선을 따라 성을 쌓은 자연적 해자와 성벽 밖에 인공적 해자를 설치하여 적의 접근을 방지하였다. 또한 고려시대와 조선시대에도 해자를 방어적 기능으로 활용하였다. 2. 해자의 설치는 성벽에서 일정한 간격을 두고 넓고 깊게 파는 것이 보통이며, 성의 외곽에만 있는 것이 아니라 내부에도 시설이 설치되었는데, 성 밖에 있는 해자는 방어력을 높이는 것 외에도 지반을 다지는데 중요한 역할을 하였다. 또한 해자는 물이 있어 접근을 제한하며, 낮은 벽이나 담장은 경계를 물리적으로 분리시키지만 해자는 열린 공간으로 시각적 특성을 살려 경계 및 방어 수단을 가지면서 멀리 떨어진 산봉우리나 근처의 나무도 정원 안으로 차경할 수 있게 한다. 3. 낙안읍성은 풍수지리적으로 청룡(동천)의 기가 드센 관계로 청룡의 흐름을 "S"자로 꺾어 흐르게 함으로써 기를 꺾을 수 있었으며, 몽촌토성은 해자의 복원으로 공원에 풍부한 수경 요소를 제공하는 경관요소로 활용하였다. 성을 둘러싸고 있는 해자는 자연이라는 진경 속에 선조들의 삶과 문화가 공간 속에 설득력 있게 배어든 역사와 문화적 경관이 표상이다. 4. 중국의 자금성 성벽은 찹쌀에 흙을 반죽하여 다져 넣어 매우 견고하며, 해자의 폭은 52m, 깊이는 6m로 자금성 성벽을 에워싸고 있어 적의 접근을 차단할 수 있었다. 5. 일본의 해자는 도시에 있어 수로 역할을 하였으며, 보트놀이, 배낚시, 레스토랑 등의 레저시설이 설치되어 도시민들의 스트레스를 해소하고 삶의 활력을 불어 넣을 수 있었다. 6. 한국의 해자는 중국의 자금성, 일본의 에도성, 오사카성보다 규모가 작으며 동양의 해자는 왕궁이나 읍성을 보호하기 위해 해자를 설치하였으나, 서양에서는 왕이나 영주, 대저택, 부호들의 저택 등을 보호하기 위해 해자를 설치하였다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.
