ICT 인프라의 이상탐지를 통한 유지보수와 장애 예방이 중요해지고 있다. 장애 예방을 위해서 이상탐지에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 지금까지의 다양한 이상탐지 기법 중 최근 연구들에서는 딥러닝을 활용하고 있으며 오토인코더를 활용한 모델을 제안하고 있다. 이는 오토인코더가 다차원 다변량에 대해서도 효과적으로 처리가 가능하다는 것이다. 한편 학습 시에는 많은 컴퓨터 자원이 소모되지만 추론과정에서는 연산을 빠르게 수행할 수 있어 실시간 스트리밍 서비스가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구들과 달리 오토인코더에 2가지 요소를 가미하여 이상탐지의 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 먼저 다차원 데이터가 가지고 있는 속성별 특징을 최대한 부각하여 활용하기 위해 멀티모달 개념을 적용한 멀티모달 오토인코더를 적용하였다. CPU, Memory, network 등 서로 연관이 있는 지표들을 묶어 5개의 모달로 구성하여 학습 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 또한, 시계열 데이터의 특징을 데이터의 차원을 늘리지 않고 효과적으로 학습하기 위하여 조건부 오토인코더(conditional autoencoder) 구조를 활용하는 조건부 멀티모달 오토인코더(Conditional Multimodal Autoencoder, CMAE)를 제안하였다. 제안한 CAME 모델은 비교 실험을 통해 검증했으며, 기존 연구들에서 많이 활용된 오토인코더와 비교하여 AUC, Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score의 성능 평가를 진행한 결과 유니모달 오토인코더(UAE)와 멀티모달 오토인코더(Multimodal Autoencoder, MAE)의 성능을 상회하는 결과를 얻어 이상탐지에 있어 효과적이라는 것을 확인하였다.

위성영상 자료를 이용하여 녹지가 주변 도시지역 기온저감에 영향을 미치는 범위를 분석하는 방법을 제시하였다. Landsat 5 TM Band 6에서 표면온도를 추출하고, 이를 자동기상관측소의 실측기온을 이용하여 기온으로 보정하였다. 위와 같은 방법으로 위성영상으로부터 지표온도를 추출 보정한 후 녹지가 도시기온에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 등온선도를 작성하였다. 기온이 거리에 따라 급격하게 변화하는 지역을 기온완화구간이라고 정의하고, 100m당 $0.1^{\circ}C$ 이상의 기온저감을 기준으로 기온완화효과 영역을 설정하였다. 위와 같은 방법으로 수혜면적을 도출한 후 해당행정구역 내 인구가 동일하게 분포한다고 가정하여 기온저감수혜인구를 도출하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 녹지의 기온저감영향이 녹지로부터 반경 500m까지 미친다는 선행연구를 토대로 기준을 설정할 경우 시가지 중 100m 당 $0.1^{\circ}C$ 이상의 기온저감 영향을 받는 면적은 $67.33km^2$로 전체 서울시 면적의 11.12%, 시가지면적을 기준으로 할 경우 18.09%를 차지한다. 서울시민이 시가지에 등밀도로 거주한다고 가정하면 2008년 1/4분기 기준으로 서울시 인구 10,456,095명 중 약 1,892,000명을 기온저감 수혜인구로 추정할 수 있다. 또한, 기온저감 영향권역 단면 50곳을 임의로 선정하여 단면도를 작성한 결과, 녹지의 경계부와 시가지의 기온은 평균 $0.78^{\circ}C$ 차이가 났으며, 최저 $0.3^{\circ}C$, 최대 $1.7^{\circ}C$의 차이를 보였다. 이를 통해 열섬완화측면에서 법률상 공원의 유치거리 및 배치의 적절성을 분석하여 향후 공원 조성 시 인간의 이용측면만이 아닌 열섬완화 및 열 쾌적성을 고려한 새로운 기준작성의 기초자료로 활용 가능하다.

흙의 입자 크기에 따른 지반-말뚝 시스템의 동적 거동 차이를 알아보기 위해, 단말뚝 및 군말뚝에 대한 1g 진동대모형 실험을 수행하였다. 지반 조성에 사용된 시료는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사이며, 흙의 입자 크기에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 다른 실험 조건은 동일하게 하였다. 단말뚝 실험 결과 말뚝의 횡방향 변위는 말뚝 직경의 1%인 탄성 영역 이내로 발생하였다. 단말뚝의 p-y 거동을 살펴보면 동일 변위에서 주문진 표준사 모형 지반의 지반 반력 값이 호주산 세사 모형 지반에서의 지반 반력보다 더 크게 나타났으며, 이는 주문진 표준사 모형 지반에서의 초기 탄성 강성이 더 크게 평가됨을 의미한다. 이러한 입자 크기에 따른 초기 지반 강성 차이는 공진주 실험 및 삼축압축실험을 통해서 확인하였다. 또한 외삽을 통해 단말뚝의 동적 p-y 중추 곡선을 산정한 결과 동적 p-y 중추곡선의 강성이 주문진 표준사 지반에서 호주산세사 지반보다 더 크게 산정되었다. 그러므로 사질토 지반에서 입자크기에 관계없이 동일한 p-y곡선을 적용하여 말뚝의 동적 거동을 예측하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다. 군말뚝 실험에서는 단말뚝 실험과 같은 실험 조건에서 말뚝 직경의 1% 이상의 횡방향 변위가 발생하였으며, 모형 지반 종류와 상관없이 유사한 p-y 거동이 나타났다. 이는 변형율이 큰 비선형 영역에서는 주문진 표준사와 호주산 세사의 강성 차이가 크지 않기 때문이다. 이러한 일련의 단말뚝 및 군말뚝 실험 결과로 볼 때, 군효과를 평가하기 위해 단말뚝의 p-y 곡선에 단순히 p-승수(p-multiplier)를 곱하여 군효과를 고려하는 방법에 오류가 있을 수 있다고 판단된다.

For the last few decades, many studies have tried to explore and unveil venture companies' success factors and unique features in order to identify the sources of such companies' competitive advantages over their rivals. Such venture companies have shown tendency to give high returns for investors generally making the best use of information technology. For this reason, many venture companies are keen on attracting avid investors' attention. Investors generally make their investment decisions by carefully examining the evaluation criteria of the alternatives. To them, credit rating information provided by international rating agencies, such as Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch is crucial source as to such pivotal concerns as companies stability, growth, and risk status. But these types of information are generated only for the companies issuing corporate bonds, not venture companies. Therefore, this study proposes a method for evaluating venture businesses by presenting our recent empirical results using financial data of Korean venture companies listed on KOSDAQ in Korea exchange. In addition, this paper used multi-class SVM for the prediction of DEA-based efficiency rating for venture businesses, which was derived from our proposed method. Our approach sheds light on ways to locate efficient companies generating high level of profits. Above all, in determining effective ways to evaluate a venture firm's efficiency, it is important to understand the major contributing factors of such efficiency. Therefore, this paper is constructed on the basis of following two ideas to classify which companies are more efficient venture companies: i) making DEA based multi-class rating for sample companies and ii) developing multi-class SVM-based efficiency prediction model for classifying all companies. First, the Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is a non-parametric multiple input-output efficiency technique that measures the relative efficiency of decision making units(DMUs) using a linear programming based model. It is non-parametric because it requires no assumption on the shape or parameters of the underlying production function. DEA has been already widely applied for evaluating the relative efficiency of DMUs. Recently, a number of DEA based studies have evaluated the efficiency of various types of companies, such as internet companies and venture companies. It has been also applied to corporate credit ratings. In this study we utilized DEA for sorting venture companies by efficiency based ratings. The Support Vector Machine(SVM), on the other hand, is a popular technique for solving data classification problems. In this paper, we employed SVM to classify the efficiency ratings in IT venture companies according to the results of DEA. The SVM method was first developed by Vapnik (1995). As one of many machine learning techniques, SVM is based on a statistical theory. Thus far, the method has shown good performances especially in generalizing capacity in classification tasks, resulting in numerous applications in many areas of business, SVM is basically the algorithm that finds the maximum margin hyperplane, which is the maximum separation between classes. According to this method, support vectors are the closest to the maximum margin hyperplane. If it is impossible to classify, we can use the kernel function. In the case of nonlinear class boundaries, we can transform the inputs into a high-dimensional feature space, This is the original input space and is mapped into a high-dimensional dot-product space. Many studies applied SVM to the prediction of bankruptcy, the forecast a financial time series, and the problem of estimating credit rating, In this study we employed SVM for developing data mining-based efficiency prediction model. We used the Gaussian radial function as a kernel function of SVM. In multi-class SVM, we adopted one-against-one approach between binary classification method and two all-together methods, proposed by Weston and Watkins(1999) and Crammer and Singer(2000), respectively. In this research, we used corporate information of 154 companies listed on KOSDAQ market in Korea exchange. We obtained companies' financial information of 2005 from the KIS(Korea Information Service, Inc.). Using this data, we made multi-class rating with DEA efficiency and built multi-class prediction model based data mining. Among three manners of multi-classification, the hit ratio of the Weston and Watkins method is the best in the test data set. In multi classification problems as efficiency ratings of venture business, it is very useful for investors to know the class with errors, one class difference, when it is difficult to find out the accurate class in the actual market. So we presented accuracy results within 1-class errors, and the Weston and Watkins method showed 85.7% accuracy in our test samples. We conclude that the DEA based multi-class approach in venture business generates more information than the binary classification problem, notwithstanding its efficiency level. We believe this model can help investors in decision making as it provides a reliably tool to evaluate venture companies in the financial domain. For the future research, we perceive the need to enhance such areas as the variable selection process, the parameter selection of kernel function, the generalization, and the sample size of multi-class.

상악치열에서 제 1 소구치를 발거하고, 이 위치로 견치를 후방이동시킨 상태에서 retraction archwire를 사용하여 상악 4절치를 한 묶음으로 후방견인시켰을 때 초기에 나타나는 모든 힘 체계와 개개치아의 이동양상을 살펴보고 바람직하지 않은 치아이동을 감소시키기 위한 방안을 모색하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 먼저 유한요소법을 이용하여 상악 치아와 치근막의 해부학적 형태 및 생체적 특성을 컴퓨터로 재현시키고 모형화된 브라켓을 부착시킨 후, beam요소를 사용하여 5종의 retraction loop를 하나씩 부여한 다섯 가지의 탄선을 모형화하고, 브라켓과 탄선간에는 gap요소를 사용하여 모형화함으로써 전체 유한요소 모형을 완성하였다. loop의 형태, activation 의 양, gable bend와 torque의 조건에 따른 차이를 검토하기 위해, 각 조건을 변화시켜 loop를 activation시켰을 때 탄선이 발휘하는 힘과 모멘트, 치아이동의 변위를 3차원적으로 정량적 및 가시적으로 평가하고 비교, 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. tear-drop loop archwire사용시 각 치아의 근원심이동 및 설측이동이 발치공간 폐쇄에 도움이 되었으나, 바람직하지 못한 상하이동과 각 방향으로의 회전이동이 부가적으로 나타났다. 2.다섯 가지의 retraction archwire중 T-loop archwire에서 공간폐쇄에 도움이 되는 치아이동이 가장 작게 나타났으며, 각 방향으로의 회전이동 역시 가장 작게 나타났다. 3. tear-drop loop archwire에서 activation양을 증가시킴에 따라 공간폐쇄에 도움이 되는 치아이동이 점차 증가했으나, 바람직하지 못한 상하이동과 각 방향으로의 회전이동이 함께 증가했다. 4. tear-drop loop archwire에서 loop의 전후방에 gable bend부여시 전치에서 근원심방향의 치체이동에 도움이 되었으나, 모든 치아에서 상하이동과 각 방향으로의 회전이동이 함께 증가했다. 5. tear-drop loop aichwire의 절치부에 치근 설측 torque 부여시 이들 치아의 순설경사를 개선시키는 효과를 얻었으나, 그 반작용으로 견치 치관의 설측회전이 크게 증가했으며, 전치의 상하이동과 모든 치아에서 각 방향으로의 회전이동이 증가했다.

서론 : 폐암환자의 방사선치료계획 시 불균질 조직 보정(inhomogeneity correction)을 평가하기 위해 폐(lung), (bone) 그리고 뼈를 고정시키기 위해 사용하는 고밀도 물질인 steel 등을 포함한 불균질 조직 보정 팬텀(inhomogeneity correction phantom, ICP)을 자체 제작하였다. 이를 이용하여 방사선치료계획시스템에서 불균질조직 보정 알고리듬에 따른 값들을 비교하고, 또한 실제 측정된 값과 비교, 분석하여 불균질 조직에 따른 선량계산 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 영상획득은 전산화단층촬영영상장치(CT, Volume zoom, Germany)와 자체 제작한 불균질 조직 보정팬텀(ICP, pig's vertebra, steel(8.21 g/cm3), cork(0.23 g/cm3))을 사용하였다. 방사선치료계획시스템으로는 Marks Plan(2D)과 XiO(CMS, USA, 3D)를 사용하였고, 측정값과의 비교를 위해서는 선형가속기(CL/1800, Varian, USA)와 이온전리함을 사용하였다. 전산화단층촬영영상장치로부터 획득한 영상을 이용하여 방사선치료계획장치에서 관심점(interest point, IP)에서의 점선량(point dose)과 선량분포를 얻고, 이와 동일한 조건에서 측정을 수행한 후 비교, 분석하였다. 그리고 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 사용 유무에 따른 차이와 방사선치료계획장치가 가지고 있는 다양한 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 간의 차이도 비교하였다. 결 과 : 불균질 조직 보정 팬텀 내 관심지점에 대한 측정치와 방사선치료계획장치에서 얻은 균질과 불균질 보정된 값을 비교한 결과 폐 제1지점에서의 측정치와 불균질 보정값의 오차는 2D에서 $0.8\%$, 3D에서 $0.5\%$, 스틸 제1지점에서의 측정치와 불균질 보정값의 오차는 2D에서 $12\%$, 3D에서 $5\%$의 오차를 보이나 보정을 하지 않은 값과 측정치의 오차는 각각 $16\%,\;14\%$의 오차가 나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 2D에서 보다는 3D에서의 값들이 오차가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 결 론 : 방사선치료계획 시 조직 내 밀도에 따른 보정이 반드시 이루어져야 하며 보다 정확한 치료계획을 위해서는 2차원 방사선치료계획용 시스템보다는 3차원 방사선치료계획용 시스템을 사용하는 것이 정확한 보정이 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬 간에도 차이가 있어 실제 측정을 통해 가장 적합한 불균질 조직 보정 알고리듬을 선택하는 것이 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 향후 열형광선량계와 필름 선량계를 통한 비교, 분석이 추가적으로 수행되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 $PRESAGE^{REU}$ 겔을 이용하여 방사선 치료계획 시 3차원 흡수선량 분포 검증을 위한 정도 관리 소프트웨어를 개발하여 겔을 이용한 3차원 선량분석 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 우선 치료계획상의 3차원 흡수선량 데이터와 측정한 겔 광학밀도 데이터의 입출력 기능을 구현하였고, 변환 테이블을 이용하여 광학밀도를 흡수선량으로 변환하는 기능을 구현하였다. 겔에서 측정된 흡수선량과 치료계획상의 흡수선량 분포간의 기하학적 매칭을 위하여 3D 볼륨 데이터의 x, y, z 방향 및 회전 변환을 구현하였다. 매칭이 완료된 두 선량 분포간에 일치도를 검증하기 위하여 3차원 감마 인덱스알고리듬을 구현하였고, 감마 통과 지도(gamma passing map) 기반의 일치도 확인 기능을 구현하였다. 광학밀도와 흡수선량간의 관계를 분석하기 위하여 원기둥 형태의 $PRESAGE^{REU}$ 겔을 대상으로 X-선 전산화 단층촬영기를 이용하여 CT 영상을 획득하였고, 방사선 치료계획 시스템(Eclipse, Varian, Palo Alto)을 이용하여 원반 형태의 6개의 가상 표적을 생성하여, 각각에 1 Gy에서 6 Gy까지 선량이 전달되도록 입체조형 방사선 치료계획을 수립하였다. 다음으로 광학 CT 스캐너($Vista^{TM}$, Modus Medical Devices Inc, Canada)를 이용하여 기준 투영 영상들을 획득하였고, 치료계획과 동일하게 겔에 방사선을 조사하였다. 조사2시간 후 매 2시간 간격으로 광학 CT 스캐너로 투영 영상 셋을 획득 후 3차원 광학밀도 데이터로 재구성하였다. 실린더 중심축을 따라 치료계획상의 흡수선량 프로파일과 광학밀도 프로파일을 추출하여 광학선량 대비 흡수선량 대응 테이블을 정의하였다. 이후 본 연구에서 개발한 소프트웨어를 이용하여 3차원상의 선량 분포의 일치도를 평가하였다. 광학밀도와 흡수선량간에는 supra-linear 관계가 나타났으며, 광학밀도는 그 크기에 따라 24시간당 60% 전후로 감쇄하였다. 측정된 흡수선량은 중심축 부근에서는 치료계획 선량과 잘 일치하였으나, 주변부로 갈수록 크게 낮아짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이로 인하여 3D 감마 통과율은 선량 차이율과 DtoA 각각 3%/3 mm의 조건하에 70.36%로 낮게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 광학 CT 스캐너 내부의 오일과 $PRESAGE^{REU}$ 겔간의 굴절률이 정확하게 매칭되지 않아서 광학 스캔 시 빔이 굴절되어 부정확한 데이터를 만들어 내는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 정도 관리소프트웨어는 3차원 겔 선량을 비교 분석하기에 유효한 것으로 평가되었으나, $PRESAGE^{REU}$ 겔로부터 정확한 흡수선량데이터를 획득하기 위해 겔 선량측정 과정의 많은 개선이 요구된다.

Fama에 의하면 효율적 시장에서는 일시적으로 높은 수익을 얻을 수는 있지만 꾸준히 시장의 평균적인 수익을 초과하는 투자전략을 만드는 것은 불가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 변동성의 장중 비대칭적 전이효과를 이용하는 변동성 매도전략을 기준으로 투자 성과를 추가적으로 개선하기 위하여 SVM을 활용하는 투자 전략을 제안하고 그 투자성과를 분석하고자 한다. 한국 시장에서 변동성의 비대칭적 전이효과는 미국 시장의 변동성이 상승한 날은 한국 시장의 아침 동시호가에 변동성 상승이 모두 반영되지만, 미국 시장의 변동성이 하락한 날은 한국 시장의 변동성이 아침 동시호가에서 뿐만 아니라 장 마감까지 계속해서 하락하는 이상현상을 말한다. 분석 자료는 2008년부터 2018년까지의 S&P 500, VIX, KOSPI 200, V-KOSPI 200 등의 일별 시가지수와 종가지수이다. 11년 동안의 분석 결과, 미국 시장의 변동성이 상승으로 마감한 날은 그 영향력이 한국 시장의 아침 동시호가 변동성에 모두 반영되지만, 미국 시장의 변동성이 하락으로 마감한 날은 그 영향력이 한국 시장의 아침 동시호가뿐만 아니라 오후 장 마감까지도 계속해서 유의적으로 영향을 미치고 있다. 시장이 효율적이라면 미국 시장의 전일 변동성 변화는 한국 시장의 아침 동시호가에 모두 반영되고 동시호가 이후에는 추가적인 영향력이 없어야 한다. 이러한 변동성의 장중 비정상적 전이 패턴을 이용하는 변동성 매도전략을 제안하였다. 미국 시장의 전날 변동성이 하락한 경우 한국 시장에서 아침 동시호가에 변동성을 매도하고 장 마감시에 포지션을 청산하는 변동성 데이트레이딩전략을 분석하였다. 연수익률은 120%, 위험지표인 MDD는 -41%, 위험과 수익을 고려한 성과지수인 Sharpe ratio는 0.27을 기록하고 있다. SVM 알고리즘을 이용해 변동성 데이트레이딩전략의 성과 개선을 시도하였다. 2008년부터 2014년까지의 입력자료를 이용하여 V-KOSPI 200 변동성지수의 시가-종가 변동 방향을 예측하고, 시가-종가 변동율이(-)로 예측되는 경우에만 변동성 매도포지션을 진입하였다. 거래비용을 고려하면 2015년부터 2018년까지 테스트기간의 연평균수익률은 123%로 기준 전략 69%보다 크게 높아지고, 위험지표인 MDD도 -41%에서 -29%로 낮아져, Sharpe ratio가 0.32로 개선되고 있다. 연도별로도 모두 수익을 기록하면서 안정적 수익구조를 보여주고 있고, 2015년을 제외하고는 투자 성과가 개선되고 있다.

텍스트를 바탕으로 한 차원 기반 감성 분석(Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis)은 다양한 산업에서 유용성을 주목을 받고 있다. 기존의 차원 기반 감성 분석에서는 타깃(Target) 혹은 차원(Aspect)만을 고려하여 감성을 분석하는 연구가 대다수였다. 그러나 동일한 타깃 혹은 차원이더라도 감성이 나뉘는 경우, 또는 타깃이 없지만 감성은 존재하는 경우 분석 결과가 정확하지 않다는 한계가 존재한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 차원과 타깃을 모두 고려한 감성 분석(Target-Aspect-Sentiment Detection, 이하 TASD) 모델이 제안되었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, TASD 기존 모델의 경우 구(Phrase) 간의 관계인 지역적인 문맥을 잘 포착하지 못하고 초기 학습 속도가 느리다는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구는 TASD 분야 내 기존 모델의 한계를 보완하여 분석 성능을 높이고자 하였다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위해 기존 모델에 합성곱(Convolution Neural Network) 계층을 더하여 차원-감성 분류 시 보조 손실(Auxiliary loss)을 추가로 사용하였다. 즉, 학습 시에는 합성곱 계층을 통해 지역적인 문맥을 좀 더 잘 포착하도록 하였으며, 학습 후에는 기존 방식대로 차원-감성 분석을 하도록 모델을 설계하였다. 본 모델의 성능을 평가하기 위해 공개 데이터 집합인 SemEval-2015, SemEval-2016을 사용하였으며, 기존 모델 대비 F1 점수가 최대 55% 증가했다. 특히 기존 모델보다 배치(Batch), 에폭(Epoch)이 적을 때 효과적으로 학습한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 모델로 더욱 더 세밀한 차원 기반 감성 분석이 가능하다는 점에서, 기업에서 상품 개발 및 마케팅 전략 수립 등에 다양하게 활용할 수 있으며 소비자의 효율적인 구매 의사결정을 도와줄 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

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.

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.
