동북아시아 지역의 에어로졸 광학두께의 시공간적 변화는 기후변화에 큰 역할을 하는 대기중의 에어로졸의 연구에 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 MODIS를 이용한 에어로졸 광학두께 자료와 TOMS 에어로졸 인덱스 자료를 수집하여 2001년 한해동안의 에어로졸의 물리학적 광학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 일별 에어로졸 관측 자료를 분석한 결과 에어로졸의 계절별 변화양상은 봄에 높고 겨울에 낮음을 뚜렷이 나타내고 있었다. 한편, 지역별 특징은 2001년에 MODIS에 의해 관측된 에어로졸 광학 두께의 연평균 값은 베이징이 가장 높은 0.65$\pm$0.37이고 고산이 가장 낮은 0.31$\pm$0.19로 나타났으며 서울과 광주가 각각 0.54$\pm$0.26과 0.38$\pm$0.19로 관측되었다. 이러한 연중 에어로졸 분석결과를 바탕으로 2001년 봄철 ACE-Asia 집중 관측 기간 중에 MODIS 와 TOMS 관측 자료를 이용한 한반도 인근지역의 에어로졸 특성을 조사하였다. 봄철에 높은 값을 보이는 에어로졸 광학두께(>0.7)와 에어로졸 인덱스 값(>0.5), 그리고 낮은 값을 나타내는 ${\AA}$ngstrom 지수 (<0.5)는 모두 봄철 황사현상에 의한 것이다. 그러나 때때로 황사와 같이 큰 입자가 아닌 다른 오염원에 의한 에어로졸로 인한 영향도 발견되고 있어 중국에서 발생한 오염된 에어로졸이 한반도로 이동하는 것이 원인으로 사료된다. 위성영상에서 나타난 에어로졸의 공간적 분포양상이 이를 입증하고 있다. 따라서 동북아시아 지역의 에어로졸 특성을 나타내는데 위성자료의 활용도는 매우 효과적이다. 않았다. 2) 체내에 축적된 질소율(외관상의 생물가)은 상ㆍ하번초형 혼과초지가 54.5%으로 상번초형 혼파초지의 53.7%보다 높았으나 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 3) 외관상 대사에너지의 축적률은 상ㆍ하번 초형 혼파초지가 59.4%으로 상번초형 혼파초지의 58.2%보다 약간 높은 편이었으나 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 따라서, 산양에 의한 목초의 이용성은 두 혼파 초지간에 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나, 혼파초지내 turf type 초류도 사초자원으로써 이용가치가 있다고 하겠다.ue 및 orchardgrass 등의 식생비율이 높았으며, redtop, red fescue와 같은 하번초 초종의 식생도 비교적 고르게 유지되었다. 따라서, 상번초형 혼파초지에 비하여 상ㆍ하번초형 혼파초지는 목초의 건물수량과 품질에는 큰 영향을 미치지 못하였으나, 건물소화율 및 가소화건물수량이 높았고(p < 0.05), 연중 고르게 식생을 유지할 수 있었던 것으로 보아 생장습성이 다른 초종을 다양하게 혼파 이용하는 것도 좋을 것으로 사료된다.4.3 : 73.3으로 단백질과 지방이 약간 부족하다고 볼 수 있다. 4) 법무부 급식관리위원회의 수용자 급식기준과 각 형무소의 보통활동 수형자를 위해 공급하는 영양량을 종합적으로 비교해보면 총열량 공급량은 조선 경성형무소(Kim CH 2003)에서는 3966.5 ㎉로 급식기준열량의 159.9%로 공급량이 높았으며, 대만 신죽 형무소에서는 소년 수형자임에도 89.6%만을 공급하고 있었다. 프랑스와 독일은 각각 110.9%, 107.1%로 급식기준을 조금 넘는 적정열량에서 가까운 양을 공급하였다고 할 수 있다. 일제하의 조선, 세계공황 이후 식량이 극도로 부족한 상황에서 대만,

한반도 일원의 신기 지각변형과 현생 응력장의 특징을 규명하고 지구조적 형성 배경을 이해하기 위해, 제4기 단층과 발진기구해에 관한 기존 자료와 더불어 최근의 지각천부 시추공 응력자료를 종합하여 재분석하였으며, 마이오세 이후 동아시아 일원의 지구조 환경 변화와 지각변형 특징을 정리하였다. 한반도 남동부의 제4기 단층은 대부분 기존 단층대를 따라 발견된다. 또한 대부분 남-북으로 배열된 상반 서향의 충상단층의 기하와 운동특성을 보이며, 동-서 방향의 순수 압축응력 하에서 적절히 배향된 기존 약대가 재활된 특징을 보인다. 한반도와 인근 해역의 발진기구해 분석 결과, 내륙에서는 주향이동단층 또는 역이동성 운동감각을 포함하는 주향이동단층이 우세한 반면, 동해와 서해 연안의 경우에는 역단층이 우세한 특징을 보인다. 압축 축은 동북동과 서남서를 향해 수평 내지 아수평한 자세로 군집되며, 인장 축은 북북서-남남동 주향을 가지는수직의 대원 상에 배열된다. 시추공 내 응력측정 자료를 취합한 결과, 한반도 지각천부의 평균 최대수평응력은 동북동-서남서 방향으로 나타났다. 따라서 한반도 일원은 현재 광역적인 동북동-서남서 내지 동-서 방향의 압축력에 의한 압축구조가 발달중인 것으로 판단된다. 동아시아 일원의 광역적인 현생 응력장 분포와 비교한 결과, 이러한 동북동-서남서 내지 동-서 방향의 압축응력환경은 태평양판의 서향 저각 섭입과 인도-유라시아 충돌로부터 전파된 응력장이 중첩된 결과로 판단되며, 대부분 고각 섭입의 양상을 보이는 필리핀해판은 배호지역 내에서 인장 환경의 특징을 보여주고 있어 한반도에서의 영향은 미미한 것으로 판단된다. 이상과 같은 동아시아 일원의 신기 지구조환경과 지각변형은 약 5~3.2 Ma 경 태평양판의 이동방향과 섭입각도의 변화와 함께 시작된 것으로 해석된다.

길마가지나무의 자생지 11지역 24개소의 입지환경을 조사한 결과 길마가지나무는 주로 산지의 낮은 지대를 중심으로 임연부, 등산로주변, 계곡부 및 해안림 곳곳에 분포하고 있었으며, 경사는 대부분 평지나 완경사지를 중심으로 분포하고 있었다. 사면방위는 가리지 않았으나 주로 햇볕을 많이 받는 남향에 주로 군락을 이루고 있었다. 군집구조는 분석결과 각각 아까시나무(군집I), 느티나무(군집II), 일본잎갈나무(군집III)가 지표종인 3개 군집으로 나뉘었다. 출현식물의 경우 군집 I에서 출현한 식물은 50과 77속 78종 2아종 11변종 총91분류군, 7개의 방형구로 느티나무가 지표종인 군집II에서 출현한 식물은 51과 82속 80종 2아종 10변종 1품종 총93분류군, 11개로 가장 많은 방형구가 해당되며, 느티나무가 지표종인 군집III에서 출현한 식물은 61과 111속 129종 2아종 13변종 3품종 총147분류군으로 나타났으며, 특이식물로는 특산식물 1분류군, 침입외래식물 9분류군, 희귀식물 5분류군으로 상대적으로 적은 개체수가 출현하였다. 상대우점치(I.P.) 분석결과 각군집의 지표종으로 대표되는 종이 있으나 특정군집에 독립적으로 출현하는 경우는 적었다. 대표적으로 느티나무, 참나무, 아까시나무, 밤나무 등이 있었으며, 아까시나무군집의 교목층을 제외하면 대부분 경쟁관계에 있음을 확인할 수 있어 지속적인 관찰이 필요하다고 판단된다. 종다양성지수 분석과 유사도지수 분석에서도 상대우점치 분석과 유사한 결과를 확인할 수 있었는데, 군집 간 특정종이 우세하기 보다는 균등도가 매우 높으며, 출현식물이 상이하기 보다는 유사한 경향을 띄고 있었다. 토양분석 결과, 군집 간 전형적인 갈색산림토양, 암적색산림토양의 성질을 보였으며, 배수가 좋은 사양토를 기반으로 하고 있었다. 유기물의 경우에는 일반적인 산림토양에 비해 함량이 대체적으로 높은 경향을 보이고 있었다. 미루어 보았을 때 길마가지나무의 자생지 분포는 지역적인 경향보다는 상층이 울폐하지 않는 임연부, 등산로를 중심으로 유기물이 풍부한 환경에 분포해 환경에 대한 적응력이 뛰어난 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 상층이 울폐한 경우에는 피압으로 인해 생육이 부진한 경향을 보여 광 요구도가 높은 수종으로 판단된다.

디젤엔진의 배출물 개선을 위해 탄소수가 낮은 천연가스를 혼합하여 사용하는 천연가스-디젤 혼소 연소가 각광받고 있다. 특히 자발화 특성에 차이가 있는 디젤과 천연가스의 특성을 이용한 반응성 제어 압축착화(reactivity controlled compression ignition, RCCI) 연소 전략을 통해 기존 디젤엔진의 효율과 배출가스를 동시에 개선시키는 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔다. 상사점보다 앞당겨진 디젤 직접 분사시기 적용을 통해 실린더 전체 영역의 균일 혼합기를 형성하여 전체적으로 희박한 자발화 기반 연소를 달성함으로써 질소산화물 (NOx) 및 입자상물질 (PM) 저감과 제동열효율 개선을 동시에 달성할 수 있다. 하지만 매우 희박한 저부하 영역에서 불완전 연소량이 증가하는 단점이 존재하며, 안정적인 연소 구현을 위해 디젤 분사시기가 민감하게 제어되어야 하는 어려움도 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 앞서 언급된 저부하 영역에서의 천연가스-디젤 혼소 엔진의 효율 및 배기 개선을 확인하고, 동시에 발전용 엔진 구동 영역에서 디젤 분사시기에 따른 연소안정성을 평가하였다. 실험에는 6 L급 상용디젤 엔진이 사용되었으며, 1,800 rpm, 50% 부하 영역 (~50 kW)에서 실험이 진행되었다. 제동효율 및 연소안정성을 개선하기 위한 전략으로 분무 패턴이 다른 2개의 인젝터를 적용하였으며, 천연가스/디젤 비율과 디젤 분사시기를 바꿔가면서 실험이 진행되었다. 실험 결과, 협각 분사가 추가된 수정 인젝터에서 제동 열효율이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 연소안정성 및 출력, 그리고 강화된 배기 규제를 고려하였을 때 수정 인젝터의 분무 패턴이 예혼합연소 형성에 적합하였고 이를 통해 질소산화물 배출량을 Tier-V 기준치인 0.4 g/kWh 이하로 저감함으로써 RCCI 연소 가능 영역을 확장할 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

In order to understand basic data for improving the fishing system and fishing vessel structure in coastal improved stow net fishery, a questionnaire survey and on-site hearing were conducted from May 10 to June 11, 2019 to analyze opinions on the improvement of operation status and fishing vessel structure. The questionnaire survey consisted of ten questions on the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and six questions on the improvement of fishing vessel structure, and the results of each question were analyzed by the region, the captain's age, the captain's career and the age of fishing vessel. As a result of analyzing opinions on the operation status of the coastal improved stow net fishery, it was found that the average time required for casting net was 32.8 to 33.0 minutes and that the average time required for hauling net was 41.0 to 42.2 minutes which took 10 to 12 minutes more than for casting net. The most important work requiring improvement during fishing operation (the first priority) were 'hauling net operation,' 'readjustment and storage of fishing gear,' and 'fish handling' and the hardest factor in fishing management were in the order of 'reduction of catch,' 'labor shortage' and 'rising labor costs.' The most institutional improvement that is most needed in coastal improved stow net fishery was an 'using fine mesh nets.' Most of the respondent to the questions on the experience in hiring foreign crews was 'either hiring or willing to hire foreign crews,' and the average number of foreign crews employed was found to be 2.3 to 2.4 persons. The most important reason for hiring (or considering employment) foreign crews was 'high labor costs.' The degree of communication with foreign crews during fishing operation were 'moderate' or 'difficult to direct work.' The most important problem in hiring foreign crews (the first priority) was an 'illegal departure.' As the survey results on the opinion of structural improvement of coastal improved stow net fishing vessel, the degree of satisfaction with fishing vessel structure related to fishing operation was found to be somewhat unsatisfactory, with an average of 3.3 points on a five-point scale. The inconvenient structure of fishing vessel in possession (the first priority), the space needed most for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first priority) and the space considered important for the construction of new fishing vessel (the first prioprity) was a 'fish warehouse.' The most preferred equipment for the construction of new fishing vessel were 'engine operation monitoring' and 'navigation safety devices.' The average size (tonnage class), the average horse power and the average total length of fishing vessel for proper profit and safety fishing operation was between 13.8 and 14.0 tonnes, 808.3 to 819.5 H.P. and 23.4 to 23.5 meters, respectively. The results of the operation status of coastal improved stow net fishery and the requirement for improving the fishing vessel structure are expected to be provided as basic data for reference when we build or improve the fishing vessel.

일사량은 작물모형의 구동에 필수적인 요소지만, 일사량의 직접관측은 다른 기상자료들과 다르게 많은 인적, 물적 자원이 필요하다. 직접 일사량을 측정하는 대신 다른 기상자료를 통해 일사량을 추정하는 여러 방식이 존재하고 그중 대표적인 방법이 일조시간을 통해 일사량을 추정하는 Angstrom-Prescott 모델이다. Frere and Popov(1979)에 의해 전세계의 기후를 세 분류로 나누어 일조시간을 일사량으로 변환하는 AP 계수(AP_Frere)가 제시되었고, 국내 18개 종관기상관측소에서 30년간 관측한 일단위 일사량과 일조량 관측자료를 통해 AP계수를 경험적으로 도출한 계수(AP_Choi)가 Choi et al.(2010)에 의해 제시되었다. 본 연구에서는 2012년부터 2021년까지 일사량 관측값(S_Obs)과 AP_Frere와 AP_Choi를 통해 도출한 일사량(S_Frere, S_Choi)을 NRMSE와 t검정을 통해 분석하였고, 이를 DSSAT 작물모형에 입력모수로 사용하여 벼 품종 오대, 화성 및 추청에 대한 생육모의를 하였다. 일사량 추정 결과 일사량의 추정값과 측정값 사이에는 12%에서 22%사이의 오차가 존재하였고, 이를 3월부터 9월 사이의 생육기간에 한정하여 누적 일사량을 계산하면 오차가 줄었다. 18개의 지역중 관찰값과 생육기간의 누적 일사량은 S_Frere의 경우에 10개의 지역에서 S_Choi 보다 S_Obs와 가까웠고, 일일 일사량의 오차율을 통해 분석하였을때 S_Frere가 12개 지역에서 더 가까웠다.

BPES($\underline{B}$lepharophimosis/$\underline{P}$tosis/$\underline{E}$picanthus inversus $\underline{S}$yndrome)는 FOXL2 유전자의 돌연변이에 의해 유발되는 상염색체 우성질환이다. 눈꺼풀이 갈라지거나 쳐지고 넓은 미간이 나타나는 특징이 있으며, 여성의 조기 난소 부전증(premature ovarian failure, POF)을 일으켜 불임을 유발한다. FOXL2는 forkhead family에 속하는 전사인자로서 FOXL2가 결여된 난소에서는 granulosa cell의 분화가 진행되지 않아 난포 성숙과정의 멈춤과 난자의 폐쇄증을 유발한다. FOXL2를 bait로 하여 rat의 난소 cDNA 라이브러리의 yeast two-hybrid screening을 시행하여 FOXL2 단백질과 상호작용을 하는 small ubiquitin-related modifier(SUMO)-conjugating E2 효소인 UBE2I 단백질을 찾았다. UBC9이라고도 알려진 UBE2I 단백질은 SUMO 변형 과정을 위한 필수적인 단백질이다. Sumoylation은 수 많은 전사인자의 전사능력의 조절을 포함하여 다양한 신호전달체계에 관여하는 번역 후 변형 과정이다. 본 연구에서 인간세포인 293T 내에서 면역침전반응 실험을 통해 FOXL2와 UBE2I의 단백질-단백질간의 상호작용을 확인하고, FOXL2의 돌연변이형을 제작하여 yeast two-hybrid system을 이용해 UBE2I와 결합에 필요한 FOXL2의 부분을 규명하였다. 따라서, FOX2에 상호작용하는 UBE2I의 규명은 sumoylation에 의한 FOXL2의 새로운 조절 메커니즘을 시사한다.

남부지역의 효율적인 삼나무 임분 관리방안을 마련하기 위하여 20m×20m 규모의 총 67개 조사구를 설치하였으며, 층위별 식생 및 임분구조 조사에 따른 군락유형 및 생장조사를 실시하였다. 군집분석을 실시한 결과 삼나무군락(C1)과 삼나무-편백군락으로 구분되었으며, 삼나무-편백군락은 다시 졸참-곰솔군락(C2), 졸참-편백군락(C3)으로 구분되었다. 교목층 삼나무의 중요치는 C1 97.2%, C2 80.7%, C3 47.6%로 유형간 차이가 나타났으며, 아교목층에는 C1 8.9%, C2 15.2%, C3 5.7%로 C2에서 가장 높게 나타났다. C3의 경우 아교목층에 솜대 및 이대가 나타나 이에 대한 관리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 관목층의 경우 C1 9.2%, C2 7.0% 이었으나, C3에서는 삼나무가 나타나지 않았다. 교목층의 종다양도는 C1이 0.059로 가장 낮았으며, C3에서 0.548로 가장 높았다. 우점도는 C1에서 0.958로 나타나 삼나무가 우점하는 것으로 나타났으며, C3은 우점도가 낮게 나타나(0.393) 다수의 종이 경쟁하고 있는 것으로 사료된다. 평균직경연년생장량은 7.01(C2)~8.04(C1)mm/yr의 범위로 나타났으며, 유형별 관리방안은 C1의 경우 경쟁목제거, 가지치기, 솎아베기가 적합하며, C2의 경우 경쟁수종 제거를 통한 삼나무 전형군으로의 유도 및 수하식재를 통한 타 수종으로의 갱신이 더욱 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.

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. 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.
