  • 경상북도에 소재한 3개 종합병원 영상의학과의 MDCT 검사 중 두부, 복부, 흉부 각 10건씩 30건을 대상으로 CTDIl, DLP, Slice 수, DLP/Slice 수를 조사하여 병원 간 프로토콜의 차이로 인한 MDCT의 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하였고, CT검사의 가장 많은 검사건수를 차지하고 프로토콜이 비교적 단순한 두부 CT를 Helical Scan과 Normal Scan으로 2회 실시하여 영상의 화질, CTDI, DLP, 안구의 피폭선량, 갑상선의 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하였다. 두부CT에서 조사대상 병원의 3분의 2에서 CTDI 참조준위(IAEA 50mGy, 우리나라 60mGy)를 초과하지 않은 A병원에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). DLP에서 조사병원의 3분의 1은 참조준위 IAEA 1,050mGy.cm, 우리나라 1,000mGy.cm의 권고량 보다 높았고, 3분의 2가 우리나라의 권고량을 초과하고 있었다. 참조준위를 초과하지 않은 A병원에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(p<0.001). Abdomen CT에서도 3분의 1은 CTDI 참조준위 IAEA 25mGy, 우리나라 20mGy보다 높은 119mGy를 보였고, DLP에서는 모든 조사대상 병원이 우리나라 권고량 700mGy.cm보다 높았다. 조사대상 병원 중 모든 검사에서 높은 선량을 보인 C병원은 MPR, 3D 검사의 비중이 높아 낮은 pitch, 높은 관전류 검사로 인한 피폭선량이 높았다. Scan 방법에 따른 피폭선량의 차이를 분석하고자 동일환자의 두부CT를 Normal scan과 Helical scan으로 각각 실시하여 분석한 결과 CTDI 및 DLP에서 Helical CT가 Normal scan에 비해 63.4%, 93.7% 높은 선량을 보였다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 그러나 갑상선의 피폭선량은 Normal scan이 87.26% 높았다(p<0.01). Helical CT의 선속은 종심부와 변연부의 모양이 종의 형태를 취하고 있어 두부CT에서 갑상선은 중심선속에서 벗어난 적은 선량으로 피폭된다. 또한 Helical scan시 Gantry 각을 수직으로 사용하였고, Normal scan시에는 Orbitomeatal line에 평행으로 정렬된 Gantry 각을 사용하여 Helical scan에서 갑상선은 피폭선량이 감소하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 사용된 프로토콜은 식약청의 표준준위에 비해 높은 피폭선량을 보여 식약청의 권고량을 지키기 위해서는 낮은 관전류 높은 Pitch의 사용이 요구되었다. 이번 연구에서 Normal scan과 Helical scan에 따른 화질의 차이는 없는 것으로 분석되어 특별한 경우가 아니면 Normal scan의 표준화된 프로토콜을 사용하고 갑상선의 보호장구를 사용하는 것이 필요하였다. 이번 연구는 일지역의 CT검사 중 일부를 조사하여 분석하였으므로 CT검사의 전체를 평가하는데 무리가 있었다. 그러나 경우에 따라 환자피폭선량의 가이드 권고량을 초과하고 있음을 알 수 있었고, 병원 간의 피폭선량 편차도 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이것을 개선하기 위하여 영상의학과 의사 및 방사선사는 CT 방사선량을 줄이는 최적화된 프로토콜로 CT검사를 시행해야 하고, 환자의 알권리를 위하여 피폭선량은 공개되어야 한다. 그러나 아직 많은 의사들과 방사선사는 이에 대한 인식이 부족하므로 개선을 위하여 CT선량 저감화의 교육프로그램, CT검사에 따른 피폭선량의 공개, 병원의 서비스평가 및 병원인증제 평가항목에 CT검사 피폭선량관리 및 공개항목을 추가 등의 관련기관의 노력과 의료종사자가 CT검사에서 행위의 최적화를 실현하는 최선의 프로토콜을 사용하는 노력이 필요하였다.

  • This article is the reserch on actual condition of crime of arson which occurs in Korea and its countermeasures. The the presented problem in this article are that (1) we have generally very low rate concern about the crime of arson contrary to realistic problems of rapid increase of crime of arson (2) as such criminal motives became so diverse as to the economic or criminal purpose unlike characteristic and mental deficiency of old days, and to countermeasure these problems effectively it presentation the necessity of systemantic research. Based on analysis of reality of arson, the tendency of this arson in Korea in the ratio of increase is said to be higher than those in violence crime or general fire rate. and further its rate is far more greater than those of the U.S.A. and Japan. Arson is considered to be a method of using fire as crime and in case of presently residence to be the abject, it is a public offense crime which aqccompany fatality in human life. This is the well It now fact to all of us. And further in order to presentation to the crime of arson, strictness of criminal law (criminal law No, 164 and 169, and fire protection law No. 110 and 111) and classification of arsonist as felony are institutionary reinforced to punish with certainty of possibility, Therefore, as tendency of arson has been increased compared to other nations, it is necessary to supplement strategical policy to bring out overall concerns of the seriousness of risk and damage of arson, which have been resulted from the lack of understanding. In characteristics analysis of crime of arson, (1) It is now reveald that, in the past such crime rate appeared far more within the boundary of town or city areas in the past, presently increased rate of arsons in rural areas are far more than in the town or small city areas, thereby showing characteristics of crime of arson extending nation wide. (2) general timetable of arson shows that night more than day time rate, and reveald that is trait behavior in secrecy.(3) arsonists are usually arrested at site or by victim or report of third person(82,9%).Investigation activities or self surrenders rate only 11.2%. The time span of arrest is normally the same day of arson and at times it takes more than one year to arrest. This reveals its necessity to prepare for long period of time for arrest, (4) age rate of arson is in their thirties mostly as compared to homicide, robbery and adultery, and considerable numbers of arsons are in old age of over fifties. It reveals age rate is increased (5) Over half of the arsonists are below the junior high school (6) the rate of convicts by thier records is based on first offenders primarily and secondly more than 4 time convicts. This apparently shows necessity of effective correctional education policy for their social assimilation together with re-investigation of human education at the primary and secondary education system in thier life. The examples of motivation for arosnits, such as personal animosity, fury, monetary swindle, luscious purpose and other aims of destroying of proof, and other social resistance, violence including ways of threatening, beside the motives of individual defects, are diverse and arsonic suicide and specifically suicidal accompany together keenly manifested. When we take this fact with the criminal theory, it really reveals arsons of crime are increasing and its casualities are serious and a point as a way of suicide is the anomie theory of Durkheim and comensurate with the theory of that of Merton, Specifically in the arson of industrial complex, it is revealed that one with revolutionary motive or revolting motive would do the arsonic act. For the policy of prevention of arsons, professional research work in organizational cooperation for preventive activities is conducted in municipal or city wise functions in the name of Parson Taskforces and beside a variety of research institutes in federal government have been operating effectively to countermeasure in many fields of research. Franch and Sweden beside the U.S. set up a overall operation of fire prevention research funtions and have obtained very successful result. Japan also put their research likewise for countermeasure. In this research as a way of preventive fire policy, first, it is necessary to accomodate the legal preventitive activities for fire prevention in judicial side and as an administrative side, (1) precise statistic management of crime of arson (2) establishment of professional research functions or a corporate (3) improvement of system for cooperative structural team for investigation of fires and menpower organization of professional members. Secondly, social mentality in individual prospect, recognition of fires by arson and youth education of such effect, educational program for development and practical promotion. Thirdly, in view of environmental side, the ways of actual performance by programming with the establishment of cooperative advancement in local social function elements with administrative office, habitants, school facilities and newspapers measures (2) establishment of personal protection where weak menpowers are displayed in special fire prevention measures. These measures are presented for prevention of crime of arson. The control of crime and prevention shall be prepared as a means of self defence by the principle of self responsibility Specifically arsonists usually aims at the comparatively weak control of fire prevention is prevalent and it is therefore necessary to prepare individual facilities with their spontaneous management of fire prevention instead of public municipal funtures of local geverment. As Clifford L. Karchmer asserted instead of concerns about who would commit arson, what portion of area would be the target of the arson. It is effective to minister spontaveously the fire prevention measure in his facility with the consideration of characteristics of arson. On the other hand, it is necessary for the concerned personnel of local goverment and groups to distribute to the local society in timely manner for new information about the fire prevention, thus contribute to effective result of fire prevention result. In consideration of these factors, it is inevitable to never let coincide with the phemonemon of arsons in similar or mimic features as recognized that these could prevail just an epedemic as a strong imitational attitude. In processing of policy to encounter these problems, it is necessary to place priority of city policy to enhancement of overall concerns toward the definitive essense of crime of arson.

  • 몰입은 관람객이 콘텐츠를 관람할 때 관람객들이 콘텐츠에 몰두하고 있는 심리적 상태를 의미하는 것으로, 관람객의 몰입경험은 콘텐츠의 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서 공연 같은 콘텐츠를 제공하는 기업들은 콘텐츠의 흥행을 위해 관람객의 몰입도를 측정하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 설문 등의 표본조사 방법을 통해 관람객의 몰입도를 측정 연구는 방송분야 등 에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 몰입도 측정방법은 콘텐츠 관람 이후 설문을 실시하기 때문에 몰입도를 실시간으로 측정할 수 없을 뿐만 아니라 몰입도 측정의 정확성이 저하되는 문제 등이 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 생리적 반응이나 얼굴 표정 분석, 그리고 움직임 관찰 방법 등을 이용하여 몰입도를 측정하는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 생체 신호를 이용하여 몰입도를 측정하는 연구의 경우, 1인을 대상으로 생체신호를 측정할 뿐만 아니라, 많은 데이터 처리 시간과 비용이 소모되는 단점이 있어 많은 관람객이 관람하는 공연장에 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 얼굴 표정인식 통해 몰입도를 측정하는 경우도 1인을 대상으로 하고 있으며, 밝은 조명의 실험실 환경에서만 가능하다는 단점이 존재한다. 또한 관람객들의 움직인 동기화를 이용하여 몰입도를 특정한 연구는 다중관객을 대상으로 하였지만, 이는 실험실 환경에 한정하여 적용된 사례이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 공연장, 시사회관 등 많은 관람객들이 콘텐츠를 관람하는 실제 환경에서 다중관람객이 다중몰입도의 정량적 평가를 위한 시스템을 설계하고 개발하였다. 제안된 시스템은 외부장치, 서버, 내부장치 등의 3부분으로 구성되어 있다. 서울시 마포구 상암동에 위치한 DMC 홍보관에 상설 전시장으로 운영하고 있으며, 관람객들을 대상으로 데이터를 획득하고 있다. 제안하고 있는 시스템을 활용하면 콘텐츠의 어느 구간에서 관객들이 몰입을 하고 있는지, 어느 구간에서 몰입을 하고 있지 못한지 분석가능하기 때문에, 향후 콘텐츠 제작 및 마케팅에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 1957년 이래 1999년 8월까지 약 313회의 우주발사 실패가 있었다. NASA의 '우주수송을 발전시킨다'라는 목표하에서, 제6의 목적은 우주선의 사고발생위험을 10년내에 1/40으로, 25년내에 1/140으로 낮춘다는 것이다. 이는 곧 우주개발이 아직도 얼마나 위험한 것인가를 보여주는 통계자료이다. 왜 이렇게 위험한 우주여행을 감수하면서, 우주개발에 뛰어드는 것인가? 우주개발은 경제적인 측면에서 인공위성을 이용한 통신 및 방송산업은 21세기 초에이룩될 우주산업의 가장 큰 분야가 될 전망이다. 특히, 우주의 특수한 환경인 무중력상태와 지구상보다 1,000 배나 높은 진공상태를 이용한 새로운 반도체의 개발 및 생산 그리고 신약의 개발 등이 활발하게 이루어질 것인데, 지난 1986년부터 지난달까지 운용되던 러시아의 "미르" 우주정거장에서는 수정을 생산하여 판매 하였다. 현재 우주산업은 미국, EU, 일본 등 소수 선진국들이 주도하고 있으며, 세계우주산업 시장규모는 년 평균 10% 이상 지속적인 신장이 이루어질 것으로 전망하고 있으며, 특히 민간용 이동통신산업 확대, 우주탐사활동 증대, 우주정거장사업 추진등으로 우주산업 규모는 비약적으로 신장할 것으로 예측되며, 최근 5년간 ED와 일본은 연평균 15${\sim}$20 %의 고성장을 유지하고 있다. 미국 NASA가 1993년 가을부터 1996년 10월까지 3년동안 민간기업에 기술을 이전한 결과를 보면, 거시적 안목을 가지고 우주산업을 추진해야 함을 알 수 있다. NASA는 미국 전역에서 16,300개의 일자리를 창출하였으며, NASA 의 기술 이전으로 새로 생긴 상품은 938개에 달하며, NASA가 민간에 이전한 기술을 경제적 가치로 환산하면 매년 16억 달러에 달하며, 또한 기술지원을 받은 미국기업을 5,600개가 넘는다. 또한, 경제외적인 측면에서 국가의 안보, 자주국방을 위한 정보수집을 위해 결정적인 역할을 한다. 우리나라는 외국에서 발사한 7개의 위성을 운영하고 있으며, '03년 8월 8일 고흥 외나로도에 인공위성발사장 기공식을 함으로써, 국내우주개발계획에 박차를 가하고 았다. 이러한 국가적인 우주개발계획과 함께 공군의 우주력건설에 따른 고찰이 필요하다. 우리나라는 미국과의 MTCR 협의로 인하여, 사정거리 300km 이상의 미사일발사체를 개발하지 않도록 되어 있으므로, 현실적으로 국방부(공군) 자체에서 우주발사체를 개발하는 것은 어렵다. 현대전에서 항공우주력은 곧 전쟁의 승패를 결정하는 필수적인 요소이며, 이미 전장이 우주로 화대되어 있는 현실에 있어서, 군의 우주력건설은 '우주력건설의 당위성'을 논할 때가 아니고, '어떻게 군의 우주력건설'을 하여야 하는 가 '우주력건설의 방법론'에 대한 구체적인 연구가 되어야 할 때이다. 우주의 군사적이용에 대한 제한은 미국의 주장대로 "비침략적 이용(non-aggressive use)"이 옳은 판단이며, 구소련의 "비군사적 이용(non-military)"에 대한 주장은 옳지 않다. 이러한 구 소련의 주장은 러시아정부에서는 적극적으로 주장하고 있지도 않고 현실성도 없는 주장이다. 따라서, 미국의 우주의 평화적 이용에 대한 개념에 의하면, 다목적위성의 군정찰목적으로의 이용이나, 상업위성의 군통신 이용은 자유롭다고 할 것이다. 즉, 공군은 군정찰위성, 통신위성 개발을 민간연구부서와 자유롭게 할 수 있다고 본다, 다만, 미국과의 MTCR 협정상 우주발사체 개발에 대해서는 제한을 받고 있으나, 우주발사체개발은 한국항공우주연구원에 위임하고, 궤도에 있는 위성을 운용하면 문제가 없다고 본다. 다목적위성은 주 임무가 Remote Sensing 인데 High resolution 특히 SAR 센서는 주로 군사목적으로 이용되고 있다. 따라서, 다목적위성은 공군과 한국항공우주연구원, 국방과학연구소간의 공동으로 연구개발을 할 수 있는 제도가 마련되어야 한다. 미 공군도 현재 사용 중인 발사체를 단계적으로 제거하며 기업 발사체 이용을 증가시킨다. 또한, 군 통신의 특수성 때문에 민수용 통신 및 방송 서비스와는 독립적으로 운영되어 왔으나 군 통신 중계기와 민간 통신 중계기가 혼합되어 운용됨으로써 군 위성 통신의 단독에서 오는 경제적인 부담을 줄이기 위한 방안으로 각광을 받고 있다. 걸프전에서도 미국은 상용통신위성을 군 통신에 사용하였다. 우리나라의 우주과학기술 연구에의 착수는 다른 나라들과의 경제적 개발 정도와 비교해 볼 때 늦었으며, 우주개발예산 또한 상대적으로 일본은 2조원/년인데 비하여 우리는 5조원/15년으로 부족하다. 우주산업은 산업의 특성상 초기 육성기간은 산업체 수익사업으로 전개될 수 없으므로, 정부예산에 의한 사업추진이 불가피하다. 외국의 경우에도 우주개발 프로그램은 모두 정부사업이며, 최근 들어 통신 방송위성 등 극히 제한된 분야에 한해 민간사업이 추진되고 있을 뿐이다. 더욱이 우리나라와 같이 우주산업이 초창기에 있는 경우에는 이러한 필요성이 더욱 절박하며, 정부사업의 추진 시에도 정부지원예산의 회수를 전제로 하지 않는 정부출현 혹은 투자사업으로 추진되어야하는 것이 필수적 요소이다. 우주연구인력수준에 있어서도, 세계적으로 우주개발선전국들에 비하여 예산이 부족하며, 전문인력도 부족하다. 따라서, 국가 우주개발의 효율적이고 체계적인 추진과 사업 추진시의 힘의 분산 및 혼돈을 방지하기 위해서도 한국의 우주개발 체계에 대한 선명한 제시와 함께 국내 우주개발 관련 법령의 제정이 시급하다. 또한, 우리나라 우주개발은 각기다른 법령하에 각기 다른 주무부처에서 사업을 진행하고 있으므로, 국가적으로 집중적인 우주개발체제를 확립하는 것이 필요하다. 우주력건설을 위해서는 항공우주연구분야 즉 국방과학연구소와 한국항공우주연구원의 항공우주분야를 어떻게 협력 또는 통합하느냐에 대한 연구이전에, 우주력을 어떻게 운용할 것인가에 대한 근본적인 전략과 정책을 수립할 '우주작전본부'를 공군에 설립하는 것이 선과제이다.'우주작전본부'를 설립하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 국방부와 합참의 전략적인 의사결정이 필요하다. 특히, 일본의 군의 우주력건설에 대한 계획을 참고하여, 자주국방을 위한 최소한의 군사목적의 정찰위성, 통신위성, 우주감시체계의 확보가 필요하다. MTCR협정 등의 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 한국항공우주연구원의 발사체개발을 이용하고, 또한 다목적위성, 통신위성개발을 활용하기 위하여 국방예산을 확보하여야 하겠으며, 우선적으로 일본의 정찰위성 운용예산인 약 2조 5천억원정도의 우주예산을 국방부에서 먼저 확보할 필요가 있다.

  • 본 연구는 1999년 1월 1일부터 2007년 12월 31일까지 한국거래소의 유가증권시장과 코스닥시장에 상장된 혁신형 중소기업을 대상으로 재무적 제약과 배당스무딩간의 관계를 실증분석 하였으며, 주요한 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 기업들은 목표 배당성향을 가지고 있으며, 실제 배당성향이 목표 배당성향에서 이탈하면 다시 배당지급을 부분적으로 조정한다. 배당조정속도는 Lintner(1956)의 배당조정모형의 핵심변수인 전기 주당배당과 당기 주당이익을 사용하여 거의 대부분 측정할 수 있으며, 잔여배당이론과 그 이후에 등장한 배당신호이론, 대리인이론, 케이터링 이론 및 거래비용이론에 관한 대용변수들은 배당조정속도에 부분적으로 영향을 미친다. 그리고 전기 주당배당은 당기 주당이익보다 배당조정속도에 더 큰 영향을 미치는데, 이는 기업들이 특별한 이유가 없는 한 전기 주당배당 수준을 장기적으로 유지하는 안정적인 배당정책을 선호한다는 증거가 된다. 혁신형 중소기업은 비혁신형 중소기업보다 배당조정속도가 더 빠르다. 혁신형 중소기업은 R&D 투자에 따른 미래의 성장성과 수익성을 담보로 하여 장기적으로 안정적인 배당정책을 유지할 수 있다. 다시 말해, 혁신형 중소기업은 배당지급이 목표 배당성향에서 이탈하더라도, R&D 투자에 따른 미래의 성장성과 수익성을 담보로 하여 목표 배당성향을 향하여 배당지급을 신속하게 조정하여 배당스무딩을 효과적으로 달성할 수 있다. 그리고 혁신형 중소기업 중에서도 재무적 비제약 기업은 재무적 제약 기업보다 배당조정속도가 더 빠르다. 이는 재무적 비제약 기업일수록 자본시장을 통한 외부 자금조달이 용이하기 때문에 주당배당을 신속하게 조정한다는 증거가 된다. 따라서 자본시장 접근성이 용이하여 재무적 제약을 적게 받는 기업일수록 외부 자금조달이 용이하기 때문에 배당지급을 더 신속하게 조정함으로써 배당스무딩을 더 효과적으로 달성할 수 있다. 그리고 중소기업청이 정책적 목적으로 분류한 혁신형 중소기업(벤처기업, 이노비즈기업, 경영혁신형기업)은 비혁신형 중소기업보다 배당조정속도가 더 빠르다. 중소기업청에서 정책적 목적으로 분류한 혁신형 중소기업은 신용보증지원, 정책자금지원, 조세혜택, 공공입찰 우선권 부여 등과 같은 다양한 정책적 혜택으로 인해 재무적 제약을 적게 받기 때문에 배당지급을 더 신속하게 조정할 수 있다. 결론적으로, 한국거래소의 유가증권시장과 코스닥시장에 상장된 혁신형 중소기업은 비혁신형 중소기업보다 배당조정속도가 더 빠르고, 혁신형 중소기업 중에서도 재무적 비제약 기업은 재무적 제약 기업보다 배당조정 속도가 더 빠르다. 다시 말해, 중소기업 중에서도 R&D 집중도가 높은 혁신형 중소기업은 R&D 투자에 따른 미래의 성장성과 수익성을 담보로 하여 배당스무딩을 신속하게 할 수 있고, 혁신형 중소기업 중에서도 자본시장 접근성이 좋은 기업은 재무적 제약을 적게 받기 때문에 배당스무딩을 더 신속하게 할 수 있다. 따라서 중소기업 경영자는 R&D 집중도를 증가시키고 자본시장 접근성을 높여 재무적 제약을 회피함으로써 신속한 배당스무딩을 통해 장기적으로 안정적인 배당정책을 유지할 수 있다고 생각한다. 그리고 중소기업청이 정책적 목적으로 분류한 혁신형 중소기업(벤처기업, 이노비즈기업, 경영혁신형기업)의 경우에도 배당조정속도가 비혁신형 중소기업보다 더 빠르게 나왔다. 이러한 결과는 배당정책의 측면에서 중소기업청의 혁신형 중소기업 정책을 지지하는 실증적인 증거가 된다.

  • 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.

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.

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.

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.
