기존의 수도설비의 밸브실과 유량계의 관리는 기계적이고 숙련자의 경험적인 방식으로 이루어져 왔다. 그러나 USN 기반의 실시간 수도설비 모니터링 시스템을 활용한 시설물 관리는 안전성과 정확성을 제공함으로서 양질의 수자원을 관리하는데 기술적인 발전을 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network)과 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 망을 이용한 수도 시설물의 안전 관리 시스템에 관하여 연구하였다. 수도 설비 중에서 밸브실과 유량계실을 대상으로 유량계, 압력센서, 진동센서, Co센서, 온 습도센서들의 RFID(Radio-frequency identification) 센서로 구성된 USN을 구성하고, USN으로부터 실시간으로 수도 시설물 정보 및 수(水)처리 측정 정보를 수집하여, CDMA망을 통해 원거리 관제 시스템에 전송한다. USN 기술을 이용하여 수도설비를 관리함으로서 현장에서의 편리성, 안전성, 정확성을 높여 더욱 효율적이고 안정적으로 깨끗한 수돗물을 공급하는데 기여할 수 있다.

하천의 수온은 하천의 생태적 환경적인 시스템의 거동을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 요소이며, 특히 수생생물이나 하천 수질에 대해서는 중요한 제약요건으로 작용하게 된다. 특히, 냉수성 생물의 경우에는 수온의 변동이 치명적일 수 있으며 각종 수문환경 측면에서 악영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 수온의 예측 및 모델링을 위하여 여러 가지 방법이 제시되고 있으나, 크게 회귀모형, 결정론적, 추계학적인 3가지 방법론으로 분류할 수 있다 (Cassie, 2006). 일반적으로 결정론적 방법은 지배방정식에 의거하여 하천 내에서의 다양한 열교환을 모의하며 복잡한 열평형을 모의하는데 적합하나 상대적으로 많은 자료를 요구하는 단점이 있다. 대조적으로 추계학적 방법의 경우에는 상대적으로 적은 인자를 통해서도 모의 가능한 장점이 있기 때문에 가용 자료가 부족할 경우에도 모의할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 캐나다 동북부 Quebec 지방의 Du Loup 지역의 소하천을 대상으로 하여 2011년부터 2014년 까지 수온을 측정하고 이를 결정론적/추계학적 방법론으로 통하여 모의하여 그 효율성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 Hobo Pro thermograph (${\pm}0.2^{\circ}C$), Kipp & Zonen Pyranometer (${\pm}10uV/m^2$) 등을 설치하여 자료를 수집하였으며, 물리수문학적 수온모형인 CEQUEAU 모형과 추계학적 방법인 ARMAX 및 NARX 모형을 통하여 수온을 모의하였다. 모의 결과에 따라서, 저수지를 비롯한 불확정 요소가 존재할 경우에는 상대적으로 추계학적 모형이 안정적인 결과를 보여주는 것으로 나타났으며, 본 연구를 통하여 제시된 방법론은 향후 소하천 지역의 환경 및 수질 관련 분석에 유용한 자료로서 활용될 것으로 판단된다. 수 있을 것이다.

This study was performed from March to September 1997 on 95 healthy students to observe the effects of acupuncture at Hap-kok (LI4) according to the meridian and qi-xue(氣血) phenomenon of oriental medicine's theory. Skin temperature on the Hap-kok (LI4) and Chun-Choo (ST25) were measured by D. 1. T. I. (Digital Infrared Thermograph Imaging) before acupuncture stimulation and 1min, 10 min after acupuncture stimulation. 1. In healthy students, the left and right mean temperature of LI4 and ST25 was $29.04\;^{\circ}C,\;29.12\;^{\cir}C\;and\;30.29\;^{\circ}C,\;30.22\;^{\circ}C$ respectively. 2. In control group, the time dependent changes for 10 min of LI4 and ST25 were $-0.32\;^{\circ}C,\;-0.36\;^{\circ}C\;and\;-0.5\;^{\circ}C,\;-0.46\;^{\circ}C$ respectively, however, the thermal differences of both sides LI4 and ST25 were not changed for 10 min. 3. In acupuncture stimulation of both sides LI4, the time dependent changes of ST25 were $-0.13\;^{\circ}C,\;-0.06\;^{\circ}C$, and the thermal differences of both sides ST25 were reduced, but not changed significantly. In acupuncture stimulation of right side LI4, the time dependent changes of LI4 were $-0.1\;^{\circ}C,\;-0.32\;^{\circ}C$ respectively, and the thermal differences of both sides LI4 were increased more than control, but not significantly. Also, that of ST25 were changed by $-0.69\;^{\circ}C,\;-0.63\;^{\circ}C$ respectively, but not significantly. 4. In acupuncture stimulation group, it was classified following the thermal differences of both sides LI4 and ST25, and the effects of acupuncture were observed by changes of classification. The acupuncture of both sides LI4 results in temperature of the left side ST25 to be high after acupuncture. The acupuncture of right side LI4 results in increased ratio of the left side higher than right LI4. The above results indicates that D. I. T. I. was a useful method to observe follow-up the effects and changes by acupuncture stimulation on objective evaluation of phenomenon for the meridian system. Thus, acupuncture on LI4 affects to thermal changes of ST25 and LI4, but exact examination of thermal changes on ST25 will have to be.

Backgrounds and purpose : The acupuncture of oriental medicine is very important in treatments. Until now it was been researched according to the meridian and qi xue(氣血) phenomenon of oriental medicine's theory. Acupuncture will show more objective index to observe the meridian. And then, I studied the effects on the thermal change of the Taeyon($L_9$) and Chungbu($L_1$) following acupuncture stimulation. Objective and Methods : This study was performed from December 1999 to February 2000 on 60 healthy students. The objective was divided into two groups, those are the control group A(N=30) that no acupuncture stimulation, the group B(N=30) of acupuncture stimulation on Taeyon($L_9$). First, in the control group A, I took a picture Taeyon($L_9$) Chungbu($L_1$) Taenung($P_7$) Chondol($CV_{22}$) area for 30 men without any stimulation with the Digital Infrared Thermograph Imaging(D.I.T.l.) and did same area, 10min after. Second, in the acupuncture stimulation group B, we took a picture Taeyon($L_9$) Chungbu($L_1$) Taenung($P_7$) Chondol($CV_{22}$) area for 30 men without any stimulation with the Digital Infrared Th - ermograph Imaging(D.I.T.I.), and then stimulate acupuncture on Taeyon($L_9$) and took a picture same area, 10min after. Results : 1. In healthy men, average skin temperture on Taeyon($L_9$) area was lower than Chungbu($L_1$) area about $3.0^{\circ}C$, in the Lt. Taeyon($L_9$) and Chungbu($L_1$) area was lower than Rt. Taeyon($L_9$) and Chungbu($L_1$) area. 2. In the acupuncture stimulation group B, the skin temperature of both side Taeyon($L_9$) area showed the increase or decrease significantly. But both Taenung($P_7$) area did not showed significantly. 3. In the acupuncture stimulation group B, the skin temperature of both side Chungbu($L_1$) area showed the increase or decrease significantly. But both Chondol($CV_{22}$) area did not showed significantly. 4. The thermal changes of the area which is a meridian point in the Lung Meridian of the acupuncture stimulation group on Taeyon($L_9$) different from other Meridian with significantly change. Conclusion : The acupuncture stimulation on Taeyon($L_9$) affected the thermal change of the area which is a meridian point, in the Lung Meridian. And then I could relate these results with the existence of the meridian and meridian point. Thus, continuous thermographic study will be needed for the existence of the meridian and meridian point.

Background and Purpose : Now, a lot of people are suffering from arthritis of knee joint. Western and oriental medicine, all of them are trying various methods to cure this disease, but generally the grade or level of repairing has been decided by the subjective estimation of the patients and doctors. So, we suggest the new standard for estimating the level of repair in this disease using nuclear medicine. Objective : To evalute the difference of the blood pool and delayed images in the correlation with clinical symptoms in patients with arthritis of knee joint by using acupuncture. Methods : Eight patients with arthritis of knee joint included in this study. Using Thermograph (D.I.T.I) and Radionuclide, we obtained the results. In Bone scan Tc-99m MDP, and MIBI scan was obtained at 1 minute and 3 hour after injection of 1,110 MBq Tc-99m MDP and MIBI. The analysis was carried out hurted area of joint. The Joint-to-background(J/B) ratios were obtained exclusively in the joints regions. Clinical symptoms were evaluated as pain and swelling graded from 0(no) to 5(severe) in the same joints, respectively. Results : J/B ratios on the delayed scans were higher than those on blood pool images. There was significant correlation between clinical symptoms and J/B on blood pool image in the joints =0.03). Conclusion : The results demonstrate that blood pool images of Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy correlates with clinical symptoms more than delayed images in patients with arthritis Joint.

The clinical data and thermographic imaging were analyzed on the 100 cases of Bell's palsy who were treated in the Kwang-Ju Oriental Medical Hospita! of Wonkwang University from February to October 1997. All the cases were taken Digital Infrared Thermograph Imaging(DITI) before treatment and 30 cases of them were taken follow up imaging again after recovery. And the following results were obtained. 1. Of 100 cases, under teenager occupied $1\%,\;teenager\;8\%,\;2nd\;decade\;14\%,\;3rd\;decade\;11\%,\;4th\;decade\;16\%,\;5th\;decade\;26\%,\;6th\;decade\;16\%,\;7th\;decade\;7\%\;and\;over\;80\;occupied\;1\%$. 2. Male occupied $48\%$ and female occupied $52\%$. 3. $42\%\;of\;male\;and\;23\%$ of female had the affected side at left side. And right facial nerve palsy occured at $29\%\;of\;male\;and\;29\%$ of female. 4. The most common cause of Bell's palsy was cold wind $18\%$, and the next were excessive labor $15\%,\;stress\;12\%,drinking\;2\%\;and\;cold\;food\;1\%$. 5. Thermal pattern were present as hyperthermal pattern in $44\%$ and hypothermal pattern in $22\%$. 6. The DITI showed hyperthermal pattern as close as to the onset day and changes to hypothermal pattern as times passed. 7. The DITI pattern and post-auricular pain, the most common prodomal syndrome, showed no significant relationship. 8. The relationship between the grade of paralysis and thermal patttern of DITI showed no significance. 9. Mean temperature of loci in affected side indicrtted $30.27^{\circ}C\;at\;Yang\;baek,\;30.02^{\circ}C\;at\;Taeyang,\;29.25^{\circ}C\;at\;Geoyo,\;29.62^{\circ}C\;at\;Jichang,\;29.78^{\circ}C\;at\;Hakwan,\;29.61^{\circ}C\;at\;Hyupgeo,\;and\;30.59^{\circ}C$at Yeopoong. 10. Mean temperature of loci in unaffected side showed $30.16^{\circ}C\;at\;Yang\;baek,\;30.02^{\circ}C\;at\;Taeyang,\;29.61^{\circ}C\;at\;Geoyo,\;29.68^{\circ}C\;at\;Jichang,\;29.70^{\circ}C\;at\;Hakwan,\;29.57^{\circ}C\;at\;Hyupgeo,\;and\;29.89^{\circ}C$at Yeopoong. 11.

The back ground and purpose : The acupuncture of oriental medicine is very important in treatments. Until now it has been researched according to the meridian and qi xue(氣血) phenomenon of oriental medicine's theory. As electroacupuncture is one of acupuncture treatments, it will show more objective index to observe the meridian and qi xue(氣血) phenomenon. And then, I studied the effects on the thermal change of the face following electroacupuncture treatment. Objective and Methods : This study was performed from January 1999 to March 1999 on 10 healthy students. The objective was divided into three groups, those were the control group A(n=10), the group B(n=10) of electroacupuncture on Hapkok($LI_4$), Samgan($LI_3$) and the group C(n=10) of electroacupuncture on Shinmun($H_7$), T' ongni($H_5$). First, in the control group A, we took a picture for 10 men without any stimulation with the Digital Infrared Thermograph Imaging(D.I.T.I.) and did 3min after, 10min after, 15min after, 25min after, 45min after respectively. Second, in the electroacupuncture treatment group B, we took a picture for 10 men without any stimulation, and then treat electroacupuncture on Hapkok($LI_4$), Samgan($LI_3$) and took a picture immediately(3min after), 10min after, 15min after and remove needle and took a picture in the same way respectively. Third, in the electroacupuncture treatment group C, we took a picture for 10 men without any stimulation, and then treat electroacupuncture on Shinmun($H_7$), T'ongni($H_5$) and took a picture in the second way respectively. Results: 1. In healthy men, average skin temperture about Yonghyang($LI_{20}$) area was higher than Soryo($G_{25}$) or Chich'ang($S_4$) area. They were Soryo($G_{25}$) area $31.495{\pm}0.766^{\circ}C$, Rt. Yonghyang($LI_{20}$) area $31.664{\pm}0.936^{\circ}C$, Lt. Yonghyang ($LI_{20}$)area $31.686{\pm}0.767^{\circ}C$, Rt. Chich'ang($S_4$) area $31.226{\pm}0.875^{\circ}$, Lt. Chich'ang ($S_4$) area $31.453{\pm}0.855^{\circ}C$. 2. In the control group A, the skin temperature of Soryo($G_{25}$) showed the increase or decrease in below ${\Delta}0.1^{\circ}C\;except\;0.265{\pm}0.594^{\circ}C$ in 25min, but not significantly. 3. About Soryo($G_{25}$) area, the skin temperature decreased significantly after electroacupuncture immediately. ${\Delta}T $of the group B was $-0.970{\pm}0.87\;1^{\circ}C$, which was larger than one of the group C which was $-0.707{\pm}0.624^{\circ}C$ at 3min. And then ${\Delta}T$ of the group C was increase valuable at 25min, 45min. 4. About Yonghyang($L1_{25}$) area, the left ${\Delta}T$ of the group B showed below $0.2^{\circ}C$ or so in contrast to the right it. In the group C, on the both side showed continous increase of temperature as following times. 5. About Chich'ang($S_4$) area, the skin temperature increased valuable $0.3^{\circ}C$ or so on the both side and later inclined to decrease in the group B but not significantly. In the group C, it increased valuable on the both side. 6. The skin temperature of electroacupuncture treatment group B, C were more increase than the control group A except Lt. Yonghyang($LI_{20}$) area in the group B. The temperature of group C were more increase than the group B wholly. Conclusion : The above results indicate that D.I.T.I. is a useful method to observe and fallow-up the effects and the changes by electroacupuncture stimulation on objective evaluation of phenomenon for the meridian system and character. Thus, continuous thermographic study will be needed for more clinical application such as acupuncture and medicine or laser therapy according to oriental medicine.
