기후변화로 인해 폭염 발생 빈도 및 강도가 심해지고 있다. 도시지역은 도시열섬현상과 맞물려 폭염에 의한 피해가 더욱 심하기 때문에 면밀한 대비가 필요하다. 국외 많은 지자체에서는 폭염 대비 및 대책을 위해 다양한 공간정보를 이용하여, 열 지도를 구축 및 도시 내 서로 다른 공간적 특징을 가지는 지역별 적합한 폭염 대책을 세워 대비를 하고 있다. 열지도 구축은 폭염 대비를 위해 우선적으로 수행되어야 할 단계이며 중요하다. 열지도 구축 및 열 환경 분석 사례는 넓은 면적을 가지는 도시단위부터 좁은 면적을 가지는 지역단위까지 다양한 면적 분포를 가진다. 열지도 구축 방법은 원격탐사를 통한 방법부터 시뮬레이션을 활용하는 방까지 다양하지만, 공간적 규모에 따른 차별화된 공간정보 활용 기준은 잡혀져 있지 않아 연구자마다 각기 다른 방법을 통해 열 지도를 구축 및 열 환경을 분석하고 있다. 전술된 사유로 인해 분석 규모에 적합한 열지도 구축에 필요한 공간정보 기준이 수립될 필요가 있다. 이에 본 연구는 도시 열지도 구축을 위해 활용되는 공간정보 활용 효율화 방안을 제시하기 위해 국내외 폭염 및 도시 열 환경 분석 연구를 공간정보, 분석방법론, 최종결과물을 살펴보았다. 분석결과 공간정보 활용에 있어서는 원격탐사를 활용한 열지도 구축을 위해서는 기본 해상도인 공간, 시간, 분광해상도가 필요한 것으로 파악되었다. 시뮬레이션은 구동을 위한 입력 조건 정보인 기상데이터의 종류와 공간해상도가 분석 대상지의 규모별 상이함이 있음이 파악되었다. 따라서 원격탐사를 활용한 열지도의 경우는 공간·분광·시간 해상도를 고려해야 하며, 시뮬레이션은 구동을 위한 입력 조건인 공간해상도와 입력하는 기상정보의 조건을 사전에 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다. 그리고 폭염 분석을 위한 모니터링 요소의 종류를 파악한 결과 토지피복, 도시 공간적 특징, 건축물, 지형, 식생, 그림자 관련 19가지 요소 종류를 파악했으며 규모별 요소의 종류가 차이가 있는 것이 파악되었다. 본 연구를 통해 폭염 분석 시, 수행하려는 연구 대상지의 면적 규모에 적합한 공간정보 활용 및 모니터링 요소 설정에 있어 연구의 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

인성교육은 먼저 인성에 대한 명확한 정의로부터 시작된다. 인성이 인간의 본성 혹은 성격이라는 주장들이 있으나 교육적 측면으로 이해한다면 인성은 곧 선하냐 악하냐에 대한 문제로 귀결된다. 인간의 본성으로 보나 성격으로 보나 결국 교육이라는 의미에서 인간의 본성이 악하다는 입장에서의 교육과 인간의 본성이 선하다는 입장에서의 교육은 상당한 차이가 난다. 오늘날 현대교육은 인간의 본성이 악하다는 입장에서 교육은 미성숙한 자를 성숙한 상태로 이끄는 것으로 보고 있다. 하지만 인간의 본성이 악하다면 한번도 선하게 된적도 없는 우리의 본성을 무슨 수로 선하게 만드는 교육을 시행할 수 있을 것인가. 인성교육이 단순히 잘못된 사례를 중심으로 고쳐나가는 방식의 에티켓 교육이나 주입식 예의범절 교육이 된다면 그 이전에 잘못된 교육사례의 답습밖에 안될 것이다. 그런 의미의 인성교육은 교육이 아니라 교정이다. 교육은 인간의 미성숙하기에 끊임없이 교정·교화해나가는 절차가 아니라 완전한 나를 깨닫고 이해하는 방식이어야 한다. 그런 의미에서 본고에서는 인성교육에서 말하는 인간의 본성이 선하다는 입장 하에서 인간의 선한 본성으로 드러난 감정을 중심으로 감정의 자기이해가 올바른 인성교육임을 말하고자 하였다. 인성은 교육 가능하지만 이때의 교육은 결코 없던 인성을 채워넣는 방식이 아닌 이미 완전하고 선한 나의 본성을 이끌어내는 방식이어야 한다. 어떤 행동을 '하지마'라는 부정적 명령보다 '왜 하면 안될지'에 대해 생각하는 것, 그리고 그 이전에 내 감정이 그렇게 느끼고 말해주는 것에 귀 기울여 듣는 '감정의 자기이해'가 녹아들어가는 인성교육이 된다면 가장 바람직한 교육이 될 것이다.

여헌 장현광(1554-1637)은 조선중기를 대표하는 유학자이면서 우주론과 자연학을 가장 체계적으로 저술한 사람이다. 조선조 유학의 지리적인 학맥에서 여헌은 남명 조식과 한강 정구의 학풍을 이어받으면서 풍수와 지지편찬을 계승한 사람으로 자리매김 될 수 있다. 여헌은 주자학에 영향을 받았지만 역학(易學)의 기틀을 견지하였으며, 사변적인 공리공론에 머무르지 않고 실용적 경세학(經世學)으로서의 지리를 인식하였다. 여헌의 지리인식 방법은 역학(易學)의 체계와 구도 상에서 이루어졌다. 여헌은 자연에 대한 인간 본위(本位)의 인식태도를 드러내며, 따라서 인사의 공능이 지리의 조건보다 우선되는 준칙이었다. 여헌에게 산수와 자연은 비덕(比德)의 공부대상이었고, 자연공부 방법은 대상물의 관찰을 통해 생명의 이치를 자득하고, 무심한 경지를 통해 천지의 마음에 이르는 것이었다. 유학의 가르침을 삶의 지침으로 삼았던 여헌에게 있어서 낙토(樂土)는 안분자족(安分自足)함에서 얻어지는 것이었다. 여헌에게 지리인식의 의의는 생활의 실용적인 이익 됨에 목적을 둔 필수적인 지식정보였다. 여헌은 은거지의 생활현장에 자신이 견지한 유학적 우주관과 세계관을 '우주사업'의 일환으로 구현하였다. 이러한 의식과 태도는 주거지의 장소경관과 자연경물(自然景物)을 북극성과 주위 28수의 별자리로 상징화하여 명명하고 우주적 중심 공간으로 구성하는 방식으로 나타났다. 주자의 무이구곡(武夷九曲) 경영에서 비롯된 유학자들의 동천구곡(洞天九曲) 전통은 조선시대에 유행되었지만, 여헌의 장소 구성 체계는 여타의 형태와 방식을 뛰어넘은 우주적 구도의 독창성이 있다. 여헌의 장소 명명 의식에는 선현을 본받고자하는 태도, 자연물의 형용과 성정에 대한 비덕(比德), 그리고 은거(隱居) 의식의 반영이 나타난다. 여헌의 국토관 및 국토이해는 지형개관, 산수이해, 도읍입지, 지역이해, 풍토론, 현실인식의 방식으로 체계적으로 드러나고 중국의 지리적 조건과도 비교되어 파악되었다. 그의 국토인식과 이해방식은, 국토의 유기체적인 인식, 주자학의 자연관이 반영된 기적(氣的)인 국토인식, 산천 인식과 도읍 입지의 풍수적 이해, 지역구분을 통한 비교론적 이해, 인물과 풍속에 대한 풍토론적 이해 방식 등으로 요약할 수 있다. 여헌은 역의 포괄적인 사상체계 범주에서 풍수도 수용하였다. 그가 풍수를 수용할 수 있었던 배경에는 남명과 한강을 계승하는 학풍에서 연유되는 바가 있었다. 여헌은 풍수지식을 활용하여 주거지의 입지를 정하기도 하였고, 고향 연고지의 여러 곳에 대해 풍수적 견지로 언급하기도 했다. 그의 풍수관을 보면, 묘지풍수에서 형세론적 이치는 수긍하고 있지만 장례기일을 미루는 발복 목적의 행위는 비판하였다. 그리고 고을의 풍수에서 숲의 조성을 통한 비보의 필요성을 인정하였다. 이러한 풍수관은 문도(門徒)들의 지지편찬에도 일정하게 반영되었다. 여헌 학풍에서 주목할 만한 지리학적 특징으로 꼽을 수 있는 것이 지지(地誌)의 편찬이다. 이것은 남명과 한강의 치용(治用) 정신과 경세적(經世的) 실천을 계승한 학풍이기도 했다. 여헌은 지지를 중요시하게 생각하면서 문인들에게 편찬을 독려하였다. 고을의 통치자나 지식인으로서 지역의 역사와 옛 일을 잘 알아야하고, 권면하고 징계하는 기준이 마련될 필요가 있다는 것이다. 이러한 여헌의 견해는 이후 문인들의 지지편찬 취지와 내용 구성에 지침이 되었다. 이 연구는 여헌의 지리인식에 관한 사실적인 면모의 정리와 지리적 학풍의 계승 맥락에 관한 고찰에 그친 한계가 있다. 다음에는 여헌 전후 유학자들의 지리인식과 지지편찬 전통이 어떻게 전승되면서 전개 발전되었고 질적으로 변천해 나갔는지를 살피고자 한다. 이러한 연구는 학계에서 공백으로 남아있는 조선 초 중기 유교지식인의 지리학사를 정립하는데 일조할 수 있으리라 믿는다.

The objective of this research is to test the feasibility of developing a statewide truck traffic forecasting methodology for Wisconsin by using Origin-Destination surveys, traffic counts, classification counts, and other data that are routinely collected by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Development of a feasible model will permit estimation of future truck traffic for every major link in the network. This will provide the basis for improved estimation of future pavement deterioration. Pavement damage rises exponentially as axle weight increases, and trucks are responsible for most of the traffic-induced damage to pavement. Consequently, forecasts of truck traffic are critical to pavement management systems. The pavement Management Decision Supporting System (PMDSS) prepared by WisDOT in May 1990 combines pavement inventory and performance data with a knowledge base consisting of rules for evaluation, problem identification and rehabilitation recommendation. Without a r.easonable truck traffic forecasting methodology, PMDSS is not able to project pavement performance trends in order to make assessment and recommendations in the future years. However, none of WisDOT's existing forecasting methodologies has been designed specifically for predicting truck movements on a statewide highway network. For this research, the Origin-Destination survey data avaiiable from WisDOT, including two stateline areas, one county, and five cities, are analyzed and the zone-to'||'&'||'not;zone truck trip tables are developed. The resulting Origin-Destination Trip Length Frequency (00 TLF) distributions by trip type are applied to the Gravity Model (GM) for comparison with comparable TLFs from the GM. The gravity model is calibrated to obtain friction factor curves for the three trip types, Internal-Internal (I-I), Internal-External (I-E), and External-External (E-E). ~oth "macro-scale" calibration and "micro-scale" calibration are performed. The comparison of the statewide GM TLF with the 00 TLF for the macro-scale calibration does not provide suitable results because the available 00 survey data do not represent an unbiased sample of statewide truck trips. For the "micro-scale" calibration, "partial" GM trip tables that correspond to the 00 survey trip tables are extracted from the full statewide GM trip table. These "partial" GM trip tables are then merged and a partial GM TLF is created. The GM friction factor curves are adjusted until the partial GM TLF matches the 00 TLF. Three friction factor curves, one for each trip type, resulting from the micro-scale calibration produce a reasonable GM truck trip model. A key methodological issue for GM. calibration involves the use of multiple friction factor curves versus a single friction factor curve for each trip type in order to estimate truck trips with reasonable accuracy. A single friction factor curve for each of the three trip types was found to reproduce the 00 TLFs from the calibration data base. Given the very limited trip generation data available for this research, additional refinement of the gravity model using multiple mction factor curves for each trip type was not warranted. In the traditional urban transportation planning studies, the zonal trip productions and attractions and region-wide OD TLFs are available. However, for this research, the information available for the development .of the GM model is limited to Ground Counts (GC) and a limited set ofOD TLFs. The GM is calibrated using the limited OD data, but the OD data are not adequate to obtain good estimates of truck trip productions and attractions .. Consequently, zonal productions and attractions are estimated using zonal population as a first approximation. Then, Selected Link based (SELINK) analyses are used to adjust the productions and attractions and possibly recalibrate the GM. The SELINK adjustment process involves identifying the origins and destinations of all truck trips that are assigned to a specified "selected link" as the result of a standard traffic assignment. A link adjustment factor is computed as the ratio of the actual volume for the link (ground count) to the total assigned volume. This link adjustment factor is then applied to all of the origin and destination zones of the trips using that "selected link". Selected link based analyses are conducted by using both 16 selected links and 32 selected links. The result of SELINK analysis by u~ing 32 selected links provides the least %RMSE in the screenline volume analysis. In addition, the stability of the GM truck estimating model is preserved by using 32 selected links with three SELINK adjustments, that is, the GM remains calibrated despite substantial changes in the input productions and attractions. The coverage of zones provided by 32 selected links is satisfactory. Increasing the number of repetitions beyond four is not reasonable because the stability of GM model in reproducing the OD TLF reaches its limits. The total volume of truck traffic captured by 32 selected links is 107% of total trip productions. But more importantly, ~ELINK adjustment factors for all of the zones can be computed. Evaluation of the travel demand model resulting from the SELINK adjustments is conducted by using screenline volume analysis, functional class and route specific volume analysis, area specific volume analysis, production and attraction analysis, and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) analysis. Screenline volume analysis by using four screenlines with 28 check points are used for evaluation of the adequacy of the overall model. The total trucks crossing the screenlines are compared to the ground count totals. L V/GC ratios of 0.958 by using 32 selected links and 1.001 by using 16 selected links are obtained. The %RM:SE for the four screenlines is inversely proportional to the average ground count totals by screenline .. The magnitude of %RM:SE for the four screenlines resulting from the fourth and last GM run by using 32 and 16 selected links is 22% and 31 % respectively. These results are similar to the overall %RMSE achieved for the 32 and 16 selected links themselves of 19% and 33% respectively. This implies that the SELINICanalysis results are reasonable for all sections of the state.Functional class and route specific volume analysis is possible by using the available 154 classification count check points. The truck traffic crossing the Interstate highways (ISH) with 37 check points, the US highways (USH) with 50 check points, and the State highways (STH) with 67 check points is compared to the actual ground count totals. The magnitude of the overall link volume to ground count ratio by route does not provide any specific pattern of over or underestimate. However, the %R11SE for the ISH shows the least value while that for the STH shows the largest value. This pattern is consistent with the screenline analysis and the overall relationship between %RMSE and ground count volume groups. Area specific volume analysis provides another broad statewide measure of the performance of the overall model. The truck traffic in the North area with 26 check points, the West area with 36 check points, the East area with 29 check points, and the South area with 64 check points are compared to the actual ground count totals. The four areas show similar results. No specific patterns in the L V/GC ratio by area are found. In addition, the %RMSE is computed for each of the four areas. The %RMSEs for the North, West, East, and South areas are 92%, 49%, 27%, and 35% respectively, whereas, the average ground counts are 481, 1383, 1532, and 3154 respectively. As for the screenline and volume range analyses, the %RMSE is inversely related to average link volume. 'The SELINK adjustments of productions and attractions resulted in a very substantial reduction in the total in-state zonal productions and attractions. The initial in-state zonal trip generation model can now be revised with a new trip production's trip rate (total adjusted productions/total population) and a new trip attraction's trip rate. Revised zonal production and attraction adjustment factors can then be developed that only reflect the impact of the SELINK adjustments that cause mcreases or , decreases from the revised zonal estimate of productions and attractions. Analysis of the revised production adjustment factors is conducted by plotting the factors on the state map. The east area of the state including the counties of Brown, Outagamie, Shawano, Wmnebago, Fond du Lac, Marathon shows comparatively large values of the revised adjustment factors. Overall, both small and large values of the revised adjustment factors are scattered around Wisconsin. This suggests that more independent variables beyond just 226; population are needed for the development of the heavy truck trip generation model. More independent variables including zonal employment data (office employees and manufacturing employees) by industry type, zonal private trucks 226; owned and zonal income data which are not available currently should be considered. A plot of frequency distribution of the in-state zones as a function of the revised production and attraction adjustment factors shows the overall " adjustment resulting from the SELINK analysis process. Overall, the revised SELINK adjustments show that the productions for many zones are reduced by, a factor of 0.5 to 0.8 while the productions for ~ relatively few zones are increased by factors from 1.1 to 4 with most of the factors in the 3.0 range. No obvious explanation for the frequency distribution could be found. The revised SELINK adjustments overall appear to be reasonable. The heavy truck VMT analysis is conducted by comparing the 1990 heavy truck VMT that is forecasted by the GM truck forecasting model, 2.975 billions, with the WisDOT computed data. This gives an estimate that is 18.3% less than the WisDOT computation of 3.642 billions of VMT. The WisDOT estimates are based on the sampling the link volumes for USH, 8TH, and CTH. This implies potential error in sampling the average link volume. The WisDOT estimate of heavy truck VMT cannot be tabulated by the three trip types, I-I, I-E ('||'&'||'pound;-I), and E-E. In contrast, the GM forecasting model shows that the proportion ofE-E VMT out of total VMT is 21.24%. In addition, tabulation of heavy truck VMT by route functional class shows that the proportion of truck traffic traversing the freeways and expressways is 76.5%. Only 14.1% of total freeway truck traffic is I-I trips, while 80% of total collector truck traffic is I-I trips. This implies that freeways are traversed mainly by I-E and E-E truck traffic while collectors are used mainly by I-I truck traffic. Other tabulations such as average heavy truck speed by trip type, average travel distance by trip type and the VMT distribution by trip type, route functional class and travel speed are useful information for highway planners to understand the characteristics of statewide heavy truck trip patternS. Heavy truck volumes for the target year 2010 are forecasted by using the GM truck forecasting model. Four scenarios are used. Fo~ better forecasting, ground count- based segment adjustment factors are developed and applied. ISH 90 '||'&'||' 94 and USH 41 are used as example routes. The forecasting results by using the ground count-based segment adjustment factors are satisfactory for long range planning purposes, but additional ground counts would be useful for USH 41. Sensitivity analysis provides estimates of the impacts of the alternative growth rates including information about changes in the trip types using key routes. The network'||'&'||'not;based GMcan easily model scenarios with different rates of growth in rural versus . . urban areas, small versus large cities, and in-state zones versus external stations. cities, and in-state zones versus external stations.

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

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.

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.

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 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.
