목 적 : 전립선 암의 방사선 치료 시 컴퓨터 단층촬영 영상만을 이용하여 타겟 및 정상장기의 체적을 정의하기에는 제약성이 따른다. 이러한 제약성을 보완해주기 위하여 연부조직 대조도가 우수한 자기공명영상 장치가 사용되고 있다. 그러나 부정확한 CT/MRI 영상의 융합은 정확한 타겟 설정에 불확실성이 따르게 되며 정상장기의 불필요한 선량이 입사되어 부작용을 초래 할 수 있다. 이러한 불확실성을 줄이기 위해 본원에서는 CT/MRI영상 융합 시 모의 치료 과정과 동일한 고정용구와 자세로 환자를 셋업하여 MRI(Planning MRI)영상을 획득하고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 진단용 MRI영상과 Planning MRI영상을 비교 분석하여 Planning MRI의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 2011년 8월부터 2013년 7월까지 전립선 암으로 진단을 받고 Non-hormone, Definitive RT 70 Gy/28 fx을 처방받은 10명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 모의 치료 후 30분 뒤에 MRI영상을 획득하였으며, 획득 된 CT/MRI영상은 뼈를 중심으로 Philips pinnacle v9.2를 이용하여 융합하였다. 전립선 Balloon tube의 유무에 따른 전립선의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 Planning MRI, 진단용 MRI영상에서의 전립선 체적을 측정 비교하였으며, 각각의 영상에서 전립선의 모양의 변화를 측정하기 위해 전립선의 중심에서 상하, 앞뒤, 좌우방향에서의 직경을 측정 비교하였다. 결 과 : Planning MRI, 진단용 MRI영상에서의 전립선 체적을 비교한 결과 각각 평균 $25.01cm^3$(범위 $15.84-34.75cm^3$), $25.05cm^3$(범위 $15.28-35.88cm^3$)의 결과를 얻었다. Planning MRI 대비 진단용 MRI는 0.12 % 증가로 그 차이는 크지 않다는 것을 알 수가 있었다. 하지만 Planning MRI를 기준으로 Transition zone 방향으로 총 $7.46cm^3$(29 %) 체적의 증가가 있었으며, Peripheral zone 방향으로 $8.52cm^3$(34 %)의 체적 감소가 있었다. 전립선 중심의 2차원 영상에서의 상하, 앞뒤, 좌우방향의 직경을 측정한 결과 Planning MRI에서 평균 3.82cm, 2.38cm, 4.59cm의 값을 나타냈으며, 진단용 MRI에서는 평균 3.37cm, 2.76cm, 4.51cm의 값을 알 수 있었다. Planning MRI 기준으로 앞뒤 방향으로 0.38cm(13 %)감소하였으나 좌우 방향 0.08cm(1.6 %), 상하방향 0.45cm(13 %)가 증가되었다. 결 론 : 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 Planning MRI와 진단용 MRI에서의 전립선의 총 체적은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만 직장에 전립선 Balloon tube 삽입으로 인한 전립선의 모양 및 부분 체적의 변화를 알 수가 있었다. 따라서 CT/MRI 영상 융합 시 Planning MRI영상을 이용한다면 진단용 MRI영상과 비교하여 Transition zone에 증가하는 체적만큼 손실 없이 타겟을 CTV에 포함시킬 수 있으며, Balloon으로 인한 Peripheral zone 체적의 감소를 더 명확히 구분하여 직장에 전달되는 방사선량을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 이에 본 저자는 전산화 치료 계획에서의 CT/MRI영상 융합 시 모의 치료 과정과 동일한 고정용구와 자세를 재현하여 MRI영상을 획득하는 것이 유용할 것이라 사료된다.

전례복의 전통을 고수하며 최상의 예술적 가치를 지닌 제의를 생산하는 Paderborn의 Wameling과 Cassau, 그리고 성모마리아 성지 순례지인 Kevelaer에 위치한 Kevelaerer Fahnen + Paramenten GmbH는 "Hidden Company"로 전유럽과 아프리카, 미국과 스칸디나비아 반도에 까지 널리 알려진 독일의 전례복기업으로 수 세기동안 종교적인 중심이 서 있던곳, 교회의 예식의 삶이 발전되어온 곳, 바로 그곳에서 계속해서 오늘날까지 예술의 수호자와 격려자로서의 모습을 굳건이 지켜나가고 있다. 이러한 3개 회사를 통하여 알아본 카톨릭 전례복은 다양한 모양과 색채, 형태와 기법을 사용하여 단순한 종교적 상징성을 넘어 미적인 화려함과 조형적인 조화로 현대직물예술, 미술의상, 그리고 디자인 전반에 활용이 기대되며, 신자들에게는 전례복에 대한 상징의 미와 조화에 대한 이해를 돕고, 비신자들로 하여금은 종교예술에 대한 의식과 관심이 정식적인 사고나 신앙심을 유발시키는데 중요한 영향을 끼치리라 본다. 전례복은 성직자가 미사. 성사. 집행. 행렬. 강복등의 모든 의식때 교회규정에 따라 입는 예복들을 총칭하는 말이다. 이러한 전례복은 무언의 언어로써 신성의 표현을 겉으로 드러낸것으로 세속인과 성직자를 구별해준다. 또 예식을 집행하는 사제의 몸짓과 동작, 언어를 뒷받침하여 전례의 뜻을 더욱 시각적으로 강하게 나타내 주고, 성직자로 하여금 성직의 직무에 더욱 충실할수 있도록 심리적영향도 준다. 이뿐만 아니라 전례복은 성직자의 지위와 권위를 나타내며 신자들로 하여금 성직자에 대한 위엄과 존경심을 불러 일으키고 전례복의 상징과 색체를 통해 전례의식의 기쁨과 슬픔을 심리적으로 공감하여 예식의 아름답고 신비스런 분위기를 창출하게 하므로 더 한층 신앙의 깊이를 부과시켜 준다. 전례복은 그리이스, 로마의 초상기 세속복이 종교적 경향을 띄면서 기독교 복식으로 자리 잡은 것으로, 313년 로마 Constantinus 황제에 의해 기독교가 공인되기 전까지는 세속인과 구별되는 특별한 제복은 없었다. 인간의 심리를 가장 잘 표현한 제의의 색채도 원래는 순수 흰색이었던 것이 12C 교황 Innocentius 3세에 의해 전례축일과 각 시기에 따라 특수한 색채를 사용하도록 규정되었으며, 현재의 전례복 색채의 상징적 의미는 교황 St. Pius (재위1566-1572)에 의해서 지니게 되었다. 장식과 소재도 초창기에는 대부분 모, 아마등이 사용되다가 4C부터 비단과 같은 특별한 소재가 사용되기 시작하였고 12C에는 금실로 직조된 화려한 소재가 사용되었다. 장식으로는 상징 문양의 자수, 직조, 아프리케의 견고하고 아름다운 장식이 널리 사용된다. 또 형태는 전통적으로 가장 널리 사용되어온 반원형의 풍성한 제의가 죄를 덮어주는 자비의 상징으로 오늘날 다시 유행하고 있다. 미래의 제의 형태도 결정적인 큰 변화는 없을 것으로 예측된다. 전례복의 발전은 계속해서 보수적인 교회의 명령에 의해 움직여질것이며 오늘날까지 변화해온 그 방식 그대로 각 시대의 문화와 시대정신, 복식의 유행에 따라 조금씩 변화의 과정을 거쳐 시대감각에 적합하도록 단순하고, 간편하게 변해갈 것이다. 사제의 수가 줄고 전례용품의 수요가 급격히 줄어들지도 모르는 판매 부진의 시기가 곧 닥쳐오게 될지도 모르는 상황속에서도 전례복기업들은 각기업의 전례복 차별화와 예술적 진보를 위해 끊임없이 다양한 문양, 자수기술 개발, 창조적인 형태의 디자인 실현을 통하여 세계속에서 초 일류기업으로 당당하게 경쟁할 능력을 준비하고 있다. 또 각기업은 예술가의 적극적인 관심과 참여의식을 유도하고, 전시회와 전속예술가를 위한 Atelier를 마련하며, 다른 회사의 전례복과 구별되는 직물의 생산을 위해 자가 직물공장을 세우거나, 한 회사만을 위하여 직물을 생산토록 독점계약을 맺는등 소재의 독창화와 예술적 가치에 심혈을 쏟고 있다. 또한 외국신문에 기업광고를 내고, 영업사원을 활성화하며, 고객의 철저한 사후 A.S를 실시하여 기업의 발전에 노력하고 있다. 또 각 교회에서는 전례복 자수협회를 창단하여 취미 자수가나 재봉인의 교류에도 힘쓰며 전례복 생산과 자수공예를 배우려는 사람들에게 지원과 격려를 아끼지 않는다. 이와 같은 기업, 예술가, 교회의 노력은 3회사의 미래가 밝을 것임을 충분히 알려준다. 우리나라에서도 기업의 다양한 기술개발과 연구, 예술가의 종교미술의 참여, 교회의 관심을 통하여 세계적으로 유명한 전례복 생산지가 되기를 기대해 본다.

학계와 금융파생상품 가격결정이나 변동성매매와 같은 실무영역 모두에서 주식시장의 변동성은 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구는 GARCH 모형에 기초하여 한국주식시장의 변동성을 정확히 예측함으로써 변동성매매시스템의 성과를 높일 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 특히, 여러 연구 자료에서 밝혀지고 있는 변동성 비대칭성개념을 도입하였다. 최근 새로 개발된 한국주식시장 변동성 지수인 VKOSPI를 변동성 대용값으로 사용한다. VKOSPI는 KOSPI 200 지수옵션의 가격을 이용하여 계산된 값으로서 옵션딜러들의 변동성 예측치를 반영하고 있다. KOSPI 200 옵션시장은 1997년 시작되었으며, 발전을 거듭하여 현재 하루 거래량이 1,000만 계약을 넘어서면서 세계 최고의 지수옵션시장으로 발전하였다. 이러한 옵션시장에 반영된 변동성을 분석하는 것은 투자자들에게 좋은 투자정보를 제공하게 될 것이다. 특히, 변동성 대용값으로 VKOSPI를 사용하면 다른 변동성 대용치를 사용할 때 발생하는 통계적 추정의 문제를 피해 갈 수 있다. 본 연구는 2003년부터 2006년의 KOSPI 200 지수 일별자료를 대상으로 최우도추정방법(MLE)을 이용하여 GARCH 모형을 추정한다. 비대칭 GARCH 모형으로는 Glosten, Jagannathan, Runke의 GJR-GARCH 모형, Nelson의 EGARCH 모형, 그리고 Ding, Granger, Engle의 PARCH모형을 포함하며 대칭 GARCH 모형은 (1, 1) GARCH 모형을 이용한다. 2007년부터 2009년까지의 KOSPI 200 지수 일별자료를 대상으로 반복적 계산과정을 통해 내일의 변동성 예측값과 오르고 내리는 변화방향을 예측하였다. 분석 결과 시장변동성과 예기치 않은 주가변동 사이에는 음의 상관관계가 존재하며, 음의 주가변동은 동일한 크기의 양의 주가변동보다 훨씬 더 큰 변동성의 증가를 가져옴을 알 수 있다. 즉, 한국 주식시장에도 변동성 비대칭성이 존재함을 보여주었다. GARCH 모형을 이용하여 내일의 VKOSPI의 등락방향을 예측하고 이를 이용하여 변동성 매매시스템을 개발하였다. 내일의 변동성이 상승할 것으로 예측되면 스트래들매수전략을 이용하고 반대로 변동성이 하락할 것으로 예측되면 스트래들 매도전략을 이용한다. 변동성의 변화방향성을 맞춘 경우에는 VKOSPI 변동분을 더하고 틀린 경우에는 변동분을 뺀 누적합을 이용하여 변동성매매전략의 총수익을 계산한다. 모형추정용 자료구간의 경우 통계적 기준인 MSPE 기준으로는 PARCH 모형의 적합도가 가장 높고, 예측방향의 적중도를 재는 MCP 기준으로는 EGARCH 모형이 가장 높은 값을 보여주었다. 테스트용 자료구간의 경우에는 PARCH 모형이 모형적합도와 내일의 변동성 등락방향 예측에서 가장 좋은 결과를 보여주었다. 모형추정용 자료구간의 경우 GARCH 모형 전체에서 매매이익을 기록하고 있고 테스트용 자료구간의 경우에는 EGARCH 모형을 제외한 GARCH 모형들이 매매이익을 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 나타난 변동성의 군집과 비대칭성 현상으로부터 변동성에 비선형성이 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, 비선형성에서 좋은 결과를 보이고 있는 인공지능시스템과 비대칭 GARCH 모형을 결합한다면 제안된 변동성매매시스템의 성과를 많이 개선할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

배경: 폐절제술이 우심실 기능에 미치는 영향과 BNP (brain natriuretic peptide)의 관계에 대해서는 아직 자세히 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 폐절제술 후 변화하는 혈역학적 수치와 우심부전의 보상기전으로서 증가하는 BNP의 관계에 대해서 알아보고 BNP가 폐절제술 후의 우심부전의 지표가 될 수 있는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 폐암으로 폐엽절제술과 전폐절제술을 시행한 12명의 환자에서 면역화학적 방법(Elecsys $1010^{(R)}$, Roche, Germany)을 이용하여 수술 전후의 NT-proBNP 수준을 측정하고, Swan-Ganz 카테터로 수술 전후에 혈역학적 지표를 측정하여 비교하였으며 수술 전후에 심초음파를 시행하여 우심실 및 좌심실압 등의 변화를 비교하였다. 통계처리는 SPSSWIN(version 11.5)를 이용한 Wilcoxon rank sum test와 linear regression을 이용하였다. 결과: NT-proBNP 수준은 수술 전과 비교하여 수술 후 6시간, 수술 후 1일과 2일, 3일, 7일째에 유의하게 증가하였다(p=0.003, 0.002, 0.002, 0.006, 0.004). Swan-Ganz 카테터를 통한 혈역학적 변수 중에서는 평균 폐동맥압이 수술 전과 비교하여 수술 직후와 수술 후 6시간, 수술 후 1일, 2일, 3일째에 유의하게 증가하였으며(p=0.002, 0.002, 0.006, 0.007, 0.008), 평균 우심실압력은 수술 직후와 수술 후 6시간, 수술 후 1일과 3일에서 유의하게 증가하였다(p=0.006, 0.009, 0.044, 0.032). 폐혈관저항지수[폐혈관저항지수=(평균폐동맥압-평균폐동맥쐐기압)/심박출계수]는 수술 후 6시간, 수술 후 2일에서 유의한 증가가 있었다(p=0.008, 0.028). 평균폐동맥압의 수술 후 변화와 NT-proBNP 변화를 회기분석하였을 때 수술 후 6시간에서 유의성이 있었으며(r=0.602, p=0.038) 이후에는 유의성이 없었다. 심초음파 결과는 수술 전후를 비교하여 유의성이 없었다. 결론: 폐절제술 후 6시간의 폐동맥압의 변화와 NT-proBNP의 변화가 유의성이 있었다. 따라서 폐절제술 후 NT-proBNP의 변화는 폐절제술 후 우심실의 조기 혈역학적 변화를 반영하는 척도가 될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

인공지능(Artificial Intelligence)은 미래를 가장 크게 변화시킬 핵심 동력으로 산업 전반과 개인의 일상생활에 다양한 형태로 영향을 미치고 있다. 무엇보다 활용 가능한 데이터가 증가함에 따라 더욱더 많은 기업과 개인들이 인공지능 기술을 이용하여 데이터로부터 유용한 정보를 추출하고 이를 의사결정에 활용하고 있다. 인공지능에 관한 기존 연구는 모방 가능한 업무의 자동화에 초점을 두고 있으나, 인간을 배제한 자동화는 장점 못지않게 알고리즘 편향(Algorithms bias)으로 발생되는 오류나 자율성(Autonomy)의 한계점, 그리고 일자리 대체 등 사회적 부작용을 보여주고 있다. 최근 들어, 인간지능의 강화를 위한 증강 지능 (Augmented intelligence)으로서 인간과 인공지능의 협업에 관한 연구가 주목을 받고 있으며 기업도 관심을 가지기 시작하였다. 본 연구는 의사결정을 위해 조언(Advice)을 제공하는 조언자의 유형을 인간, 인공지능, 그리고 인간과 인공지능 협업의 세 가지로 나누고, 조언자의 유형과 의사결정자의 성격 특성이 의사결정에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 311명의 실험자를 대상으로 사진 속 얼굴을 보고 나이를 예측하는 업무를 진행하였으며, 연구 결과 의사결정자가 조언활용을 하려면 먼저 조언의 유용성을 높게 인지하여하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 의사결정자의 성격 특성이 조언자 유형별로 조언의 유용성을 인지하고 조언을 활용하는 데에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 인간과 인공지능의 협업 형태인 경우 의사결정자의 성격 특성에 무관하게 조언의 유용성을 더 높게 인지하고 적극적으로 조언을 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 인공지능 단독으로 활용될 경우에는 성격 특성 중 성실성과 외향성이 강하고 신경증이 낮은 의사결정자가 조언의 유용성을 더 높게 인지하고 조언을 활용하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 인공지능의 역할을 의사결정과 판단(Decision Making and Judgment) 연구 분야의 조언자의 역할로 보고 관련 연구를 확장하였다는데 학문적 의의가 있으며, 기업이 인공지능 활용 역량을 제고하기 위해 고려해야 할 점들을 제시하였다는데 실무적 의의가 있다.

현재 육상에서는 유무선 통신의 발전으로 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공받고 있다. 이러한 변화는 육상을 넘어서서 해상에서 항해 중인 선박에서도 다양한 IT 서비스가 제공되어야 하며 육상에서 이용하는 것과 마찬가지로 양방향 디지털 데이터 전송, Web, App 등과 같은 다양한 IT 서비스들의 제공에 대한 요구가 증가될 것으로 예상하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 초고속 정보통신망은 AP(Access Point)와 기지국과 같은 고정된 기반 구조를 바탕으로 네트워크를 구성하는 지상에서는 쉽게 사용할 수 있는 반면 해상에서는 고정된 기반 구조를 이용하여 네트워크를 구성할 수 없다. 그래서 전송 거리가 긴 라디오 통신망 기반의 음성 위주의 통신 서비스를 사용하고 있다. 이러한 라디오 통신망은 낮은 전송 속도로 인해 매우 기본적인 정보만을 제공할 수 있었으며, 효율적인 서비스 제공에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 디지털 데이터 상호교환을 위한 추가적인 주파수가 할당되었으며 이 주파수를 사용하여 활용할 수 있는 선박 애드 혹 네트워크인 SANET(ship ad-hoc network)이 제안되었다. SANET은 높은 설치비용과 사용료의 위성 통신을 대신하여 해상에서 IP 기반으로 선박에 다양한 IT 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 개발되었다. SANET에서는 육상 기지국과 선박의 연결성이 중요하다. 이러한 연결성을 갖기 위해서는 선박은 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받아 네트워크의 구성원이 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 선박 스스로 자신의 IP 주소를 할당 받을 수 있는 SANET-CC(Ship Ad-hoc Network-Cell Connection) 프로토콜을 제안한다. SANET-CC는 중복되지 않는 다수의 IP 주소들을 육상기지국에서 선박들에 이어지는 트리 형태로 네트워크 전반에 전파한다. 선박은 IP 주소를 할당할 수 있는 육상 기지국 또는 나누어진 구역의 M-Ship(Mother Ship)들과 간단한 요청(Request) 및 응답(Response) 메시지 교환을 통해 자신의 IP 주소를 할당한다. 따라서 SANET-CC는 IP 충돌 방지(Duplicate Address Detection) 과정과 선박의 이동에 의해 발생하는 네트워크의 분리나 통합에 따른 처리 과정을 완전히 배제할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SANET-CC의 SANET 적용가능성을 검증하기 위해서 다양한 조건의 시뮬레이션을 수행하였으며 기존 연구와 비교 분석을 진행하였다.

이 글의 목적은 70년대 국가권력에 의해 소환되었던 전통 이념이 '전통의 현대화'라는 명목 아래 당대 한국연극 현장에 수용되었던 양상과 그 함의를 밝히려는데 있다. 이는 다른 한편 70년대 전통 논의를 둘러싼 한국연극계의 자기검열의 양상을 비판적으로 검토하는 작업이기도 하다. 이를 위해 이 글에서는 민족극을 창안하는 방식으로 70년대 한국연극계의 전통 논의를 선점했던 극단 민예극장의 활동을 살펴보았다. 이제까지 70년대 극단 민예극장에 대한 평가는 전통의 계승과 변용을 내세운 허규의 연출 작업을 바탕으로 공연예술적 성취 여부에 집중되었다. 하지만 70년대 국가가 주도한 문화정치의 장(場)에서 구성된 전통 이념과 그것이 작동된 양상은 예술적 성취라는 측면에서만 평가할 수 없다. 무릇 전통을 전유하려 한 주체의 선택적 기준에 따라 전통 이념은 선별되고, 선별된 전통 이념의 선택 과정에서 특정 대상들이 배제, 폐기, 재선별, 재해석, 재인식된다. 70년대 비문화로 호명되었던 서구적인 것이나 퇴폐불온한 것과의 차이 속에서, 전통이 전유되었던 70년대의 상황도 이로부터 멀리 있지 않다. 국가가 주도한 70년대의 전통 논의는 전통의 특정 이념을 안정된 가치로 합법화했는데, 그것을 작동시킨 한 방식은 국가의 문예지원이었다. 70년대 극단 민예극장은 당시 연극 위기론의 구체적 대안으로 선택되었던 전통의 현대화를 바탕으로 민족극을 지향했다. 그것은 구체적으로 전통연희의 계승과 변용이라는 방식으로 구현되었는바, 특히 극단 민예 극장의 대표 연출가 허규에게 전통은 거부할 수 없는 안정적 가치였고 그것의 계승과 변용은 의심할 바 없는 소명으로 내면화되었다. 그 결과 허규가 연출한 극단 민예극장의 공연은 일정한 성취에도 불구하고 과도한 전통연희의 관습들로 채워진 숙련된 장인술로 귀착되었다. 70년대의 전통 이념은 80년대 들어 새로운 전유의 양상으로 전개된다. 1986년 극단 민예극장의 핵심 단원이었던 손진책, 김성녀, 윤문식 등은 민예극장을 탈퇴하여 극단 미추를 만든다. 극단 미추는 연출가 손진책을 중심으로 풍자와 해학이 넘치는 마당놀이를 선보이며 전통의 대중화를 끌어냈다. 전통연희에 내재된 민중의 저항정신을 전통적 가치로 전유했던 대학가의 마당극처럼, 손진책의 마당놀이는 풍자와 해학을 통해 위압적인 국가권력을 비판하고 조롱함으로써 대중적 인기를 끌었다. 70년대 전통 논의의 자장 안에서, 민중의 저항정신을 전통적 가치로 전유하며 자생한 마당극이나 전통의 대중화를 성취한 극단 미추의 마당 놀이는 예술적 성취로써만 평가되지 않는다. 마찬가지로 전통의 계승과 변용이라는 측면에서 70년대 극단 민예극장이 성취한 것 역시 70년대 전통이 소환되었던 맥락을 제외하고 독립적으로 평가될 수 없다. 70년대 국가 주도의 전통 논의에 대응한 한국연극 평단의 시각이 예술성을 바탕으로 한 공연예술의 질적 성취에만 집중된 대목이 아쉬운 것은 그 때문이다. 이 글에서는 이런 맥락을 비판적으로 검토하고, 이를 바탕으로 70년대 극단 민예극장의 활동을 중심으로 당대 한국연극계의 전통 논의와 그 실천 양상을 살펴보았다. 결과적으로 70년대 극단 민예극장의 활동이 한 계기로 작용했을 대중적 마당놀이나 민중저항의 마당극은 70년대 극단 민예극장이 전통을 전유하는 방식, 곧 전통의 계승과 현대적 변용과의 '차이' 속에 정립되었다. 계기는 되었으나 그에 따른 유의미한 차이를 지속적으로 생산해내지 못한 점, 이것이 극단 민예극장의 '전통'이 70년대 한국연극사에서 차지하는 의미이자 한계이다.

대순진리회의 생사관은 천지귀신이 함께 하는 것이고, 인심을 근본적인 핵심으로 삼는다. 심성 수양의 정도에 따라 자신의 가치를 실현할 수 있으며, 이 모든 것을 일심(一心)의 묘용(妙用)으로 보고 있다. 즉, 인간의 잠재적 능력에 주목함으로써 인간이 수행을 통해 신성의 초월적 영역에 들어갈 수 있다는 것이다. 이러한 대순진리회의 생사관은 삼계공사의 종교적 사명으로 건립되었다. 여기서 삼계공사는 천지인 삼계의 개벽을 말한다. 이 개벽은 천지 운행의 원래의 규칙으로 돌아가서 새로운 우주적 질서를 짜는 것이다. 천지는 스스로의 운행규칙이 있다. 그것은 직접적으로 도에서 비롯하고 발현하는 작용이다. 대순진리회는 인간의 행위에 의해 천지운행의 규칙이 손상을 입었고, 그 결과 상도를 잃었다고 진단한다. 따라서 대순진리회는 인간과 천지에 원래 존재하던 도를 바로 세우는 것에 중점을 두고, 상도를 잃은 천지와 인간의 화해를 시도한다. 요컨대 무너진 신도(神道)의 질서를 바로잡아 만고의 원한을 풀어주는 것이다. 더 나아가 천지도수를 다시 짜는 것으로 상생의 도가 생기게 하고, 인간과 귀신은 자기실현을 통하여 완성에 이룰 수 있다고 보고 있다. 인간은 천지와 통할 뿐 아니라 귀신과도 감응한다. 귀신 역시 초월적인 생명 형태로 인간의 심성과 통한다. 이와 관련해 대순진리회는 인간이 귀신의 힘에 의해 좌우지 되는 것이 아니라, 심성의 초월적인 힘을 통해 귀신을 조종할 수 있다고 보고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 대순진리회의 목적은 인심의 수행과 함께 천지자연의 조화에 참여하는 것에 있다. 또한 인간의 심성이 우주적 도의 화신과 합일을 이룸으로써 천지의 신명과도 합일을 할 수 있다고 본다. 이를 위한 실천과정으로 외적인 의식이나 법술에 의지하는 것이 아니라 심성의 도덕적 수양을 통해 완성의 경지에 이를 수 있다고 역설한다. 즉, 일심불이(一心不二)의 수행으로써 초월적 심성의 경지에 이르게 되고, 생사의 모순과 여러 가지 고통에서 벗어날 수 있다는 것이다. 인간의 생사는 피할 수 없는 필연적인 과정이다. 그렇기 때문에 생을 기뻐할 필요가 없고, 죽음을 슬퍼해야 할 이유도 없다. 오히려 육체를 초월하는 공부를 통해 심성의 에너지를 충만 시키면 죽음의 두려움에서 벗어나 초월할 수 있다. 불로불사란 형체를 가진 육체의 장생을 추구하는 것이 아니라, 생명존재의 본질을 추구하는 것으로, 정신적인 차원에서의 영원함을 이루는 것이다. 대순진리회는 정기신을 개발하여 도와 합일하는 경지에 이르고, 인성의 자아실천 작용을 촉발시켜 불로장생의 초월적 경지를 추구한다. 인도(人道)의 윤리실천으로써 천지의 도화(道化)작용과 통하고, 천도의 합일로서 생명존재의 조화와 영원함을 이루게 된다. 이렇게 인간은 육체적인 생사를 초월한다. 즉, 도인들은 일심을 지킨 수도를 통해 도와 합진(合眞)을 이루는 경지에 이르면, 인간의 개체적 자아를 완성함과 동시에 여러가지 재난과 고통을 피하고 행복한 삶의 가치를 이룰 수 있을 것이다.

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 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.

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.

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.
