In this study, we aimed to develope the physio-module for echocardiography. This physio-module includes multi-functions such as ECG, respiration, PCG, heart sound, and this is used to diagnose a cardiac disease in using ultrasound images synchronized with biosignals of physio-module. In this paper, the developed physio-module was verified by applying various test patterns considering each biosignal's characteristics and we could get the performance of QRS trigger delay time within international standard, EC-13 criteria. And ECG's change in physio-module and blood flow in M-mode was synchronized.

본 논문은 심장이 수축$\cdot$이완함에 따라 그 형태와 위치가 변하는 관상동맥의 구조와 그 움직임을 사실적으로 표현하기 위한 매개변수적 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 완성된 모델은 관상동맥의 움직임을 관찰함으로써 심장질환 판단에 도움을 주고, 심장시술 시뮬레이션 및 시술계획수립에 사용될 수 있다. 매개변수적 기법으로 생성된 모델은 메쉬 정점의 인덱스만으로 모델간 매칭을 위한 대응점을 찾을 수 있으므로, 시간대별로 달라지는 정점의 위치를 쉽게 추적함으로써 모델의 움직임을 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 기법으로 생성된 모델은 분리, 접합 등의 변형조작이 어렵고, 트리형태 객체에 적용하기 힘든 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 극복하기 위해 분할된 혈관영역의 골격데이타에서 찾아낸 분기점을 중심으로 Generalized Cylinder를 이용하여 실린더 형태의 각 혈관세그먼트를 모델링 한 후, 분기영역을 3개의 하프파이프(half pipe)와 2개의 삼각형 패치로 연결하여 모델링하였다. 완성된 모델은 다시점 관상동맥데이터에 적용하였고, 각 시점에서 구해진 정점의 위치를 선형보간함으로써 부드러운 혈관의 움직임을 나타내었다.

The significance of this study lies in the fact that it looks into the function of games as one of the important leisure activities at the moment when negative perception on overall game industry is becoming an obstacle in settlement of sound game culture. Game is one of the activities enjoyed in leisure time. The main positive effects of game were analyzed classifying them into 10 types including the stress relief and alleviation of tension, diverse identity experience and positive socialization experience, strengthening of self-respect and ideal self-realization, strengthening of independent thinking and problem-solving capacity, motivation for learning, enhancement in physical capacity, decrease in aggressive tendencies, cultivation of awareness on equality, increase in familiarity with the civilization of technology, and strengthening of individuality based on diversity.

In this paper the approach of neural network was proposed which detects a variety of defects in the molded parts. In an attempt to improve the response of the system, It is designed to minimize the use of memory via LookUp table in software. The goal of these methods was to extract the features of samples in learning of neural networks, overcoming the algorithms of defects detection and classification. Through the learning of 500 sample patterns of molded parts, defects of 3% molded parts was detected and classified as the incorrect diameter parts. We expect that proposed approach is an effective alternative to save test time and cost for defect detection of a fine pattern within the molded parts.

A specific disease syndrome, which led to massive mortality on the Korean mandarin fish fingerling (Sinperca scherzeri) at Chongpyong Inland Fisheries Institute was atudied. The causetive agent isolated from the diseased fish was identified as Aeromonas hydrophila on the basis of biochemical and physiological characteristics. Infection experiments in the Korean mandarin fish fingerling, weighting 3-4 g with A. hydrophila were conducted by immersion, oral administration, intramuscular injection, and injection of the soluble extracellular products secreted from it. Motality rate was higher virulence in intramuscular injection group than other experimental groups. In injection group of the soluble extracellular products, all fish treated with high concentration ($8{\times}10^9$ cfu/ml) were repidly killed into 3-6 hrs. There results show that the Korea mandarin fish fingerling has high susceptibility to A. hydrophila.

Symmetric block ciper algorithm consists of a chains of operations such as permutation and substitution. There exists four kinds of operation mode, CBC, ECB, CFB, and OFB depending on the operation paradigm. Since the final ciper text is obtained through the many rounds of operations, it consumes much time. This paper proposes a pipelined design methodology which can improve the speed of crypto operations in ECB mode. Because the operations of the many rounds are concatenated in serial and executed concurrently, the overall computation time can be reduced significantly. The experimental result shows that the method can speed up the performance more than ten times.

We proposed an in situ measurement set-up and technique to measure the various electro-optic(E-O) properties of the E-O polymer. Using the proposed measurement set-up, the electro-optic effect and birefringence of unpoled side-chain E-O polymer induced by the strong dc and ac electric field were observed. The dependence of the E-O coefficients on the various poling conditions were measured with real time. To evaluate the thermal stability of the poled polymer the relaxation of the E-O effect was measured and the result was compared with well known polymer materials. The proposed measurement reduces the number of experimental steps and saves measurement time.

Severe hemodynamic dysfunction may follow after the closure of the median sternotomy in patients with myocardial edema, cardiac dilatation, and severe postoperative bleeding. In extreme cases, myocardial edema may be so severe that cardiac function is compromised merely by the edges of the open sternum touching the heart. Sternotomy remained open and delayed sternal closure is already described adjunct in complicated cardiac operations. We experi nced a case of delayed sternal closure after 16 hours of CABG using synthes DCP wide plate in a 54-year old obese female patient. Our experience conims that delayed sternal closure Is an effective at simple means of dealing with severe myocardial edema so we report this case with literature review.

This paper presents the long-term behavior of tunnel considering the degradation of concrete lining and surrounding soil. Tunnel is a composite structure which has supporting elements (shotcrete, lining, and rockbolt) and surrounding soils. These supporting elements and surrounding soils undergo the degradation as time goes. A proposed degradation function which has two parameters which control the residual strength and degradation shape was applied to the numerical analysis. The results showed the plastic zone was spread around tunnel due to the degradation leading to the increase in unstability of tunnel.

Isothermal and thermal-mechanical fatigue characteristics of 12Cr heat resisting steel used for high temperature applications were investigated including hold time effects. Isothermal low cycle fatigue test at $600^{\circ}C$ and in-phase, out-of-phase thermal-mechanical fatigue test at 350 to $600^{\circ}C$ were conducted using smooth cylindrical hollow specimen under strain-control with total strain ranges from 0.006 to 0.015. Regardless of thermal-mechanical and isothermal fatigue tests, cyclic softening behavior was observed and much more pronounced in the thermal-mechanical fatigue tests with hold times due to the stress relaxation during the hold time. The phase difference between temperature and strain in thermal-mechanical fatigue tests resulted in significantly shorter fatigue life for out-of-phase compared to in-phase. The differences in fatigue lives were dependent upon the magnitudes of plastic strain ranges and mean stresses. During the hold time in the strain-controlled fatigue tests, the increase in the plastic strain range and the stress relaxation were observed. It appeared that the increase in plastic strain range per cycle and the introduction of creep damage made important contributions to the reduction of thermal-mechanical fatigue life with hold time, and the life reduction tendency was more remarkable in the in-phase than in the out-of-phase thermal-mechanical fatigue. Isothermal fatigue tests performed under the combination of fast and slow strain rates at $600^{\circ}C$ showed that the fatigue life decreased as the strain rate and frequency decreased,especially for the low strain ranges.
