지구물리탐사기법은 매장 문화재 조사에 필요한 높은 해상도의 지하 구조 영상 생성과 매장 유구의 정확한 위치 결정하는 데 매우 유용하다. 이 연구에서는 경주 신라왕경 중심방의 고해상도 지하투과레이더 영상에서 유구의 규칙적인 배열이나 선형 구조를 자동적으로 구분하기 위하여 영상처리 기법인 영상 특징 추출과 영상분할 기법을 적용하였다. 영상 특징 추출의 대상은 유구의 원형 적심과 선형의 도로 및 담장으로 캐니 윤곽선 검출(Canny edge detection)과 허프 변환(Hough Transform) 알고리듬을 적용하였다. 캐니 윤곽선 검출 알고리듬으로 검출된 윤곽선 이미지에 허프 변환을 적용하여 유구의 위치를 탐사 영상에서 자동 결정하고자 하였으나, 탐사 지역별로 매개변수를 달리해서 적용해야 한다는 제약이 있었다. 영상 분할 기법의 경우 연결요소 분석 알고리듬과 QGIS에서 제공하는 Orfeo Toolbox (OTB)를 이용한 객체기반 영상분석을 적용하였다. 연결 요소 분석 결과에서, 유구에 의한 신호들이 연결된 요소들로 효과적으로 인식되었지만 하나의 유구가 여러 요소로 분할되어 인식되는 경우도 발생함을 확인하였다. 객체기반 영상분석에서는 평균이동(Large-Scale Mean-Shift, LSMS) 영상 분할을 적용하여 각 분할 영역에 대한 화소 정보가 포함된 벡터 레이어를 우선 생성하였고, 유구를 포함하는 영역과 포함하지 않는 영역을 선별하여 훈련 모델을 생성하였다. 이 훈련모델에 기반한 랜덤포레스트 분류기를 이용해 LSMS 영상분할 벡터 레이어에서 유구를 포함하는 영역과 그렇지 않은 영역이 자동 분류 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 자동 분류방법을 매장 문화재 지하투과레이더 영상에 적용한다면 유구 발굴 계획에 활용가능한 일관성 있는 결과를 얻을 것으로 기대한다.

선박은 화물 운송의 효율을 증대시키기 위해 대형화되는 추세이다. 선박 대형화는 선박 작업자의 이동시간 증가, 업무 강도 증가 및 작업 효율 저하 등으로 이어진다. 작업 업무 강도 증가 등의 문제는 젊은 세대의 고강도 노동 기피 현상과 맞물러 젊은 세대의 노동력 유입을 감소시키고 있다. 또한 급속한 인구 노령화도 젊은 세대의 노동력 유입 감소와 복합적으로 작용하면서 해양산업 분야의 인력 부족 문제는 극심해지는 추세이다. 해양산업 분야는 인력 부족 문제를 극복하기 위해 지능형 생산설계 플랫폼, 스마트 생산 운영관리 시스템 등의 기술을 도입하고 있으며, 스마트 자율물류 시스템도 이러한 기술 중의 하나이다. 스마트 자율물류 시스템은 각종 물품들을 지능형 이동로봇을 활용하여 전달하는 기술로서 라이다, 카메라 등의 센서를 활용해 로봇 스스로 주행이 가능하도록 하는 것이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이동로봇이 선박 갑판의 통행로를 감지하여 stop sign이 있는 곳까지 자율적으로 주행할 수 있는지를 확인하였다. 자율주행은 Nvidia의 End-to-end learning을 통해 학습한 데이터를 기반으로, 이동로봇에 장착된 카메라를 통해 선박 갑판의 통행로를 감지하여 수행하였다. 이동로봇의 정지는 SSD MobileNetV2를 이용하여 stop sign을 확인하여 수행하였다. 실험은 약 70m 거리의 선박 갑판 통행로를 이동로봇이 이탈 없이 주행 후 stop sign을 확인하여 정지하는지를 5회 반복 실험하였으며, 실험 결과 경로이탈 없이 주행하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이 결과를 적용한 스마트 자율물류 시스템이 산업현장에 적용된다면 작업자가 작업 시 안정성, 노동력 감소, 작업 효율이 향상될 것으로 사료된다.

주식시장의 주가 수익률에 나타나는 변동성은 투자 위험의 척도로서 재무관리의 이론적 모형에서뿐만 아니라 포트폴리오 최적화, 증권의 가격 평가 및 위험관리 등 투자 실무 영역에서도 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 변동성은 주가 수익률이 평균을 중심으로 얼마나 큰 폭의 움직임을 보이는가를 판단하는 지표로서 보통 수익률의 표준편차로 측정한다. 관찰 가능한 표준편차는 과거의 주가 움직임에서 측정되는 역사적 변동성(historical volatility)이다. 역사적 변동성이 미래의 주가 수익률의 변동성을 예측하려면 변동성이 시간 불변적(time-invariant)이어야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 변동성 연구들은 변동성이 시간 가변적(time-variant)임을 보여주고 있다. 이에 따라 시간 가변적 변동성을 예측하기 위한 여러 계량 모형들이 제안되었다. Engle(1982)은 변동성의 시간 가변적 특성을 잘 반영하는 변동성 모형인 Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity(ARCH)를 제안하였으며, Bollerslev(1986) 등은 일반화된 ARCH(GARCH) 모형으로 발전시켰다. GARCH 모형의 실증 분석 연구들은 실제 증권 수익률에 나타나는 두터운 꼬리 분포 특성과 변동성의 군집현상(clustering)을 잘 설명하고 있다. 일반적으로 GARCH 모형의 모수는 가우스분포로부터 추출된 자료에서 최적의 성과를 보이는 로그우도함수에 대한 최우도추정법에 의하여 추정되고 있다. 그러나 1987년 소위 블랙먼데이 이후 주식 시장은 점점 더 복잡해지고 시장 변수들이 많은 잡음(noise)을 띠게 됨에 따라 변수의 분포에 대한 엄격한 가정을 요구하는 최우도추정법의 대안으로 인공지능모형에 대한 관심이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주식 시장의 주가 수익률에 나타나는 변동성의 예측 모형인 GARCH 모형의 모수추정방법으로 지능형 시스템인 Support Vector Regression 방법을 제안한다. SVR은 Vapnik에 의해 제안된 Support Vector Machines와 같은 원리를 회귀분석으로 확장한 모형으로서 Vapnik의 e-insensitive loss function을 이용하여 비선형 회귀식의 추정이 가능해졌다. SVM을 이용한 회귀식 SVR은 두터운 꼬리 분포를 보이는 주식시장의 변동성과 같은 관찰치에서도 우수한 추정 성능을 보인다. 2차 손실함수를 사용하는 기존의 최소자승법은 부최적해로서 추정 오차가 확대될 수 있다. Vapnik의 손실함수에서는 입실론 범위내의 예측 오차는 무시하고 큰 예측 오차만 손실로 처리하기 때문에 구조적 위험의 최소화를 추구하게 된다. 금융 시계열 자료를 분석한 많은 연구들은 SVR의 우수성을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주가 변동성의 분석 대상으로서 KOSPI 200 주가지수를 사용한다. KOSPI 200 주가지수는 한국거래소에 상장된 우량주 중 거래가 활발하고 업종을 대표하는 200 종목으로 구성된 업종 대표주들의 포트폴리오이다. 분석 기간은 2010년부터 2015년까지의 6년 동안이며, 거래일의 일별 주가지수 종가 자료를 사용하였고 수익률 계산은 주가지수의 로그 차분값으로 정의하였다. KOSPI 200 주가지수의 일별 수익률 자료의 실증분석을 통해 기존의 Maximum Likelihood Estimation 방법과 본 논문이 제안하는 지능형 변동성 예측 모형의 예측성과를 비교하였다. 주가지수 수익률의 일별 자료 중 학습구간에서 대칭 GARCH 모형과 E-GARCH, GJR-GARCH와 같은 비대칭 GARCH 모형에 대하여 모수를 추정하고, 검증 구간 데이터에서 변동성 예측의 성과를 비교하였다. 전체 분석기간 1,487일 중 학습 기간은 1,187일, 검증 기간은 300일 이다. MLE 추정 방법의 실증분석 결과는 기존의 많은 연구들과 비슷한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 잔차의 분포는 정규분포보다는 Student t분포의 경우 더 우수한 모형 추정 성과를 보여주고 있어, 주가 수익률의 비정규성이 잘 반영되고 있다고 할 수 있다. MSE 기준으로, SVR 추정의 변동성 예측에서는 polynomial 커널함수를 제외하고 linear, radial 커널함수에서 MLE 보다 우수한 예측 성과를 보여주었다. DA 지표에서는 radial 커널함수를 사용한 SVR 기반의 지능형 GARCH 모형이 가장 우수한 변동성의 변화 방향에 대한 방향성 예측력을 보여주었다. 추정된 지능형 변동성 모형을 이용하여 예측된 주식 시장의 변동성 정보가 경제적 의미를 갖는지를 검토하기 위하여 지능형 변동성 거래 전략을 도출하였다. 지능형 변동성 거래 전략 IVTS의 진입규칙은 내일의 변동성이 증가할 것으로 예측되면 변동성을 매수하고 반대로 변동성의 감소가 예상되면 변동성을 매도하는 전략이다. 만약 변동성의 변화 방향이 전일과 동일하다면 기존의 변동성 매수/매도 포지션을 유지한다. 전체적으로 SVR 기반의 GARCH 모형의 투자 성과가 MLE 기반의 GARCH 모형의 투자 성과보다 높게 나타나고 있다. E-GARCH, GJR-GARCH 모형의 경우는 MLE 기반의 GARCH 모형을 이용한 IVTS 전략은 손실이 나지만 SVR 기반의 GARCH 모형을 이용한 IVTS 전략은 수익으로 나타나고 있다. SVR 커널함수에서는 선형 커널함수가 더 좋은 투자 성과를 보여주고 있다. 선형 커널함수의 경우 투자 수익률이 +526.4%를 기록하고 있다. SVR 기반의 GARCH 모형을 이용하는 IVTS 전략의 경우 승률도 51.88%부터 59.7% 사이로 높게 나타나고 있다. 옵션을 이용하는 변동성 매도전략은 방향성 거래전략과 달리 하락할 것으로 예측된 변동성의 예측 방향이 틀려 변동성이 소폭 상승하거나 변동성이 하락하지 않고 제자리에 있더라도 옵션의 시간가치 요인 때문에 전체적으로 수익이 실현될 수도 있다. 정확한 변동성의 예측은 자산의 가격 결정뿐만 아니라 실제 투자에서도 높은 수익률을 얻을 수 있기 때문에 다양한 형태의 인공신경망을 활용하여 더 나은 예측성과를 보이는 변동성 예측 모형을 개발한다면 주식시장의 투자자들에게 좋은 투자 정보를 제공하게 될 것이다.

서 론 : 후방 경유 경추 융합을 위한 후관절 금속판 고정술은 외상성 및 퇴행성 불안정성의 치료에 효과적인 방법이다. 후관절 금속판 고정의 안정성은 여러 가지 인자에 의해 결정된다. 이중 하나가 나사못의 삽입깊이이다. 이 방법이 처음 소개될 때에는 양피질골성 삽입이 이용되었다. 외과의사의 관심은 어떻게 안전하면서 생역학적으로 강력한 고정을 얻느냐에 있다. 목 적 : 이 연구의 목적은 사체에서 단피질성과 양피질성 나사못 삽입술을 시행한 후 안전성, pull-out 강도, 방사선학적 특성을 분석하고 나사못의 삽입에 대한 교육 훈련의 수준에 따른 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 방 법 : 평균 나이 78.9세인 21구의 사체에 대하여, Magerl의 기술을 변형하여 C3-C6(n=168)까지 3.5mm AO 나사못을 양쪽 후관절에 삽입하였다. 수술중 방사선 사진영상은 사용되지 않았다. 오른 쪽(단피질성 삽입)은 14mm 나사못(11mm의 유효 길이)을 이용하고, 왼쪽은 양피질성 삽입을 시도하였다. 각 사체는 3개의 군으로 나누어 척추 수술 수련의 수준이 다른 받은 3명의 척추 외과 의사들(전임 강사, 임상 강사, 수석 레지던트)이 수술을 시행했다. 수술 후 경추를 떼어내어 나사못의 위치를 육안적으로 확인하고 방사선학적으로 안정성과 삽입 위치 (1,2,3)를 평가하였다. 척수, 후관절, 신경근과 척추 동맥에 대한 나사못의 위치를"만족할 만한","위험한", 그리고"직접적인 손상"으로 구분하였다. material testing machine을 이용하여 모든 나사못에 대해서 Pull-out 강도를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 대다수의 나사못(92.9%)은 만족할 만한 상태였다. 전예에서 척수에 대한 위험성은 없다. 오른 편(단피질성 : 14mm) 나사못의 98.9%는"만족할 만한"에 속했다. 그리고 왼쪽 편(양피질성)의 68.1%는"만족할 만한"에 속했다. 양피질성 나사못 군에서 5.8%의 척추 동맥에 대한 직접적인 손상이 있었고 신경근의 직접적인 손상 발생율은 17.4%였다. 반면에 단피질성 나사못 군에서는 이들에 대한 직접적인 손상은 없었다. 양피질성 나사못에서 보인"직접 손상"의 거의 대부분은 외과 의사의 경험 부족으로 발생하였다. 나사못의 안정성과 삽입 위치 사이에는 특별한 관련이 없었다. 모든 나사못의 pull-out 강도는 $542.0{\pm}296.6N$였다. 단피질성에 있어서의 pull-out 강도($519.0{\pm}289.9N$)와 양피질성($565.2{\pm}306N$) 나사못에는 아무런 통계학적으로 의미있는 차이점을 발견할 수 없었다(p>0.05). 나사못 삽입위치와 pull-out 강도 사이에는 의미있는 차이가 없었다. 결 론 : 이번 연구는 경추 후관절 나사못 고정술시 단피질성과 양피질성 나사못의 안정성과 효능을 집중적으로 알아보았다. 명백한 것은 14mm의 나사못(효과적인 길이는 11mm)이 보다 긴 양피질성 나사못 보다 손상의 위험이 훨씬 낮고 거의 동등한 pull-out강도를 갖는다는 것이다. 또한, 수술시 방사선 영상을 사용할 수 없을 때, 훈련과 축적된 경험에 의해 나사못 삽입의 정확성과 안전성이 향상될 수 있다.

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

PET/CT검사에서 표준섭취계수(standardized uptake value, SUV)는 병소의 악성 여부를 판별하는 지표로서 인체내 각 장기의 생리적인 변화에 대한 정량분석을 가능하게 한다. 따라서 그 결과에 영향을 줄 수 있는 매개변수를 올바르게 입력하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 그 매개변수 중 방사능량, 체중, 방사성 동위원소 섭취시간의 입력오류에 따른 결과의 차이를 측정하여 수용 가능한 결과의 오차범위를 평가하고자 한다. 1994 NEMA 모형 내부에 열소, 테프론, 그리고 공기 3개의 삽입물을 위치시켰다. 총 27.3 MBq의 $^{18}F$를 열소와 배후 방사능 비율이 4:1로 되도록 채우고 GE Discovery STE 16(GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA)로 촬영하였다. 촬영 후 입력된 방사능량, 체중, 섭취 시간의 값을 기준 값에서 ${\pm}5%$, 10%, 15%, 30%, 50% 만큼 오차를 발생시킨 후 영상을 다시 재구성하였다. 재구성된 영상에서 각 삽입물 부위에 한 개, 배후방사능 부위에 총 네 개의 관심영역을 그린 후 $SUV_{mean}$과 백분율오차를 측정하여 비교 평가하였다. 기준 영상의 열소, 테프론 그리고 공기와 배후방사능에서의 $SUV_{mean}$은 각각 4.5, 0.02, 0.1 그리고 1.0이였다. 방사능량 오차 변화에 따른 $SUV_{mean}$의 최대값과 최소값은 열소에서 9.0, 3.0, 테프론에서 0.04, 0.01, 공기에서 0.3, 0.1, 배후 방사능에서 2.0, 0.6로 변화된 값을 보였다. 이 때 백분율오차는 모두 동일하게 최대 100%에서 최소 -33%로 나타났다. 체중 오차 변화의 경우 열소에서 2.2, 6.7, 테프론에서 0.01, 0.03, 공기에서 0.09. 0.28, 배후방사능에서 0.5, 1.5로 변화된 값을 보였다. 이 때 백분율오차는 테프론의 최소 -50%, 최대 52%를 제외하고 모두 최소 -50%에서 최대 50% 로 동일하게 나타났다. 섭취시간 오차의 경우 열소에서 3.8, 5.3, 테프론에서 0.01, 0.02, 공기에서 0.1, 0.2, 배후방사능에서 0.8에서 1.2로 변화된 값을 보였다. 백분율오차는 열소와 배후방사능은 최소 -14%에서 최대 17%로 동일하게 나타났으며 테프론의 경우 최소 -11%에서 최대 21%, 공기의 경우 최소 -12%에서 최대 20%로 나타났다. 일반적으로 수용 가능한 오차의 범위를 5%로 설정할 경우, 본 실험 결과에서 방사능량과 체중의 오차가 ${\pm}5%$ 이내 일 때 $SUV_{mean}$의 오차가 5% 범위에 포함되었다. 이러한 결과들을 고려해 볼 때 검사장비에 입력되는 방사능량과 체중에 직접적인 영향을 줄 수 있는 선량검량계와 체중계의 검교정은 오차범위 5% 이내로 이루어져야 한다. 섭취 시간의 경우 삽입물의 종류에 따라 서로 다른 오차 범위를 보였으며 열소와 배후방사능에서 오차가 ${\pm}15%$ 이내일 때 $SUV_{mean}$에 5% 내의 오차가 발생하였다. 따라서 검사 시 촬영용 스캐너를 포함하여 두 개 이상의 시계를 사용할 경우 각각의 시간 오차들도 함께 고려되어야 할 것이다.

The study is aimed at exploring concept held by clinical nurses of nursing. The data were collected from 225 nurses conviniently selected from the population of nurses working in Kang Won province. Findings include. 1) Nurse's Qualification. The respondents view that specialized knowledge is more important qualification of the nurse. Than warm personality. Specifically, 92.9% of the respondents indicated specialized knowledge as the most important qualification while only 43.1％ indicated warm personality. 2) On Nursing Profession. The respondents view that nursing profession as health service oriented rather than independent profession specifically. This suggests that nursing profession is not consistentic present health care delivery system nor support nurses working independently. 3) On Clients of Nursing Care The respondents include patients, family and the community residents in the category of nursing care. Specifically, 92.0％ of the respondents view that patient is the client, while only 67.1％ of nursing student and 74.7％ of herself. This indicates the lack of the nurse's recognition toward their clients. 4) On the Priority of Nursing care. Most of the respondents view the clients physical psychological respects as important component of nursing care but not the spiritual ones. Specially, 96.0% of the respondents indicated the physical respects, 93% psychological ones, while 64.1% indicated the spiritual ones. This means the lack of comprehensive conception on nursing aimension. 5) On Nursing Care. 91.6% of the respondents indicated that nursing care is the activity decreasing pain or helping to recover illness, while only 66.2% indicated earring out the physicians medical orders. 6) On Purpose of Nursing Care. 89.8% of the respondents indicated preventing illness and than 76.6% of them decreasing 1;ai of clients. On the other hand, maintaining health has the lowest selection at the degree of 13.8%. This means the lack of nurses' recognition for maintaining health as the most important point. 7) On Knowledge Needed in Nursing Care. Most of the respondents view that the knowledge faced with the spot of nursing care is needed. Specially, 81.3% of the respondents indicated simple curing method and 75.1%, 73.3%, 71.6% each indicated child nursing, maternal nursing and controlling for the communicable disease. On the other hand, knowledge w hick has been neglected in the specialized courses of nursing education, that is, thinking line among com-w unity members, overcoming style against between stress and personal relation in each home, and administration, management have a low selection at the depree of 48.9%,41.875 and 41.3%. 8) On Nursing Idea.

This means that the peculiarly essential ideas on the professional sense of value. 9) On Nursing Services. The mean score measuring distribution for the nursing services showed that the inserting of machine air way is 2.132/5, the technique and knowledge for surviving heart-lung resuscitating is 2.892/s, and the preventing air pollution 3.021/5. Specially, 41.1% of the respondents indicated the lack of the replied ratio. 10) On Nurses' Qualifications. The respondents were selected five items as the most important qualifications. Specially, 17.4% of the respondents indicated specialized knowledge, 15.3% the nurses' health, 10.6％ satisfaction for nursing profession, 9.8% the experience need, 9.2% comprehension and cooperation, while warm personality as nursing qualifications have a tendency of being lighted. 11) On the Priority of Nursing Care The respondents were selected three items as the most important component. Most of the respondents view the client's physical, spiritual: economic points as important components of nursing care. They showed each 36.8%, 27.6%, 13.8% while educational ones showed 1.8%. 12) On Purpose of Nursing Care. The respondents were selected four items as the most important purpose. Specially,29.3% of the respondents indicated curing illness for clients, 21.3% preventing illness for client 17.4% decreasing pain, 15.3% surviving. 13) On the Analysis of Important Nursing Care Ranging from 5 point to 25 point, the nurses' qualification are concentrated at the degree of 95.1%. Ranging from 3 point to 25, the priorities of nursing care are concentrated at the degree of 96.4%. Ranging from 4 point to 16, the purpose of nursing care is concentrated at the degree of 84.0%. 14) The Analysis, of General Characteristics and Facts of Nursing Concept. The correlation between the educational high level and nursing care showed significance. (P < 0.0262). The correction between the educational low level and purpose of nursing care showed significance. (P < 0.002) The correlation between nurses' working yeras and the degree of importance for the purpose of nursing care showed significance (P < 0.0155) Specially, the most affirmative answers were showed from two years to four ones. 15) On Nunes' qualification and its Degree of Importance The correlation between nurses' qualification and its degree of importance showed significance.

최근 전 세계적인 원전 설비의 수요 증가로 원자력 전략물자 취급의 중요성이 높아지는 가운데, 국외 수출을 위한 원전 관련 물품 및 기술의 신청 또한 급증하는 추세이다. 전략물자 사전판정 업무는 통상 원자력 물자 관리에 해박한 전문가의 경험 및 지식에 근거하여 수행되어 왔지만, 급증하는 수요에 상응하는 전문 인력의 공급이 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여, 본 연구진은 전략물자 수출 통제를 위한 사례 기반 지능형 수출 통제 시스템을 설계 및 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 현장 전문가의 전담 업무이던 신규 사례에 대한 전략물자 사전판정 과정 업무의 주요 맥락을 자동화 하여 전문가 및 관계 기관이 감당해야 할 업무 부담을 줄이며, 빠르고 정확한 판정을 돕는 의사결정 지원 시스템의 역할을 맡는다. 개발된 시스템은 사례 기반 추론 (Case Based Reasoning) 방식에 기반을 두어 설계되었는데, 이는 과거 사례의 특성을 활용하여 신규 사례의 해법을 유추하는 추론 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 자연어로 작성된 전자문서 처리에 널리 사용되는 텍스트 마이닝 분석 기법을 원자력 분야에 특화된 형태로 응용하여 전략물자 수출통제 시스템을 설계하였다. 시스템 설계의 근거로 선행 연구에서 제안된 반자동식 핵심어 추출 방안의 성능을 보다 엄밀히 검증하였고, 추출된 핵심어로 신규 사례와 유사한 과거 사례를 추출하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방안은 텍스트 마이닝 분야의 TF-IDF 방법 및 코사인 유사도 점수를 활용한 결과(${\alpha}$)와 원자력 분야에서 통용되는 개념적 지식을 계통으로 분류하여 도출한 결과(${\beta}$)를 조합하여 최종 결과 (${\gamma}$) 를 생성하게 된다. 세부 요소 기술의 성능 검증은 임상 데이터를 활용한 실험 및 실무 전문가의 의견수렴을 통해 이루어졌다. 개발된 시스템은 사전판정 전문 인력을 다수 양성하는 데 드는 비용을 절감하는 데 일조할 것이며, 지식서비스 산업의 의미 있는 응용 사례로서 관련 산업의 성장에 기여할 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. 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.

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.
