The purpose of this study is to observe the realization of pause and breath groups from adult speakers and to examine how gender, generation, and tasks can affect this realization. For this purpose, we analyzed forty-eight male or female speakers. Their generation was divided into two groups: young, old. Task and gender affected both the realization of pause and breath groups. The length of the pause groups was longer in the read speech than in the spontaneous speech and female speech. On the other hand, the length of the breath group was longer in the spontaneous speech and the male speech. In the spontaneous speech, which requires planning, the speaker produced shorter length of pause group. The short sentence length of the reading material influenced the reason for which the length of the breath group was shorter in the reading speech. Gender difference resulted from difference in pause patterns between genders. In the case of the breath groups, the male speaker produced longer duration of pause than the female speaker did, which may be due to difference in lung capacity between genders. On the other hand, generation did not affect either the pause groups or the breath groups. The generation factor only influenced the number of syllables and the eojeols, which can be interpreted as the result of the difference in speech rate between generations.

This paper aims at proposing issues of breath and memory in speech based on the quantitative analysis of breath groups and pause units in Korean. As a human being, we have two kinds of limitations on continuing speech; breath and memory. The prosodic structure and temporal structure of spontaneous speech data from six speakers were closely examined. One of the main findings of the present study is that the prosodic structure and temporal structure of Korean appears to reflect the breath and memory problems in speech.

본 논문은 도플러 레이다의 원리를 이용하여 인체 호흡수 측정기술에 관하여 기술하였다. 주파수 1.59㎓ 대역의 전자파를 이용한 인체 호흡수 측정의 역사적 배경과 함께 자세한 측정원리 및 방법을 제시하였다. 인체의 흉곽 운동에 의해 반사된 신호의 도플러 주파수 차이만큼의 변이량을 오실로스코프 상에서 단위시간 당 호흡수를 나타내었다. 헤테로다인 방식의 시스템으로 측정하였으며, 폴디드 슬롯 안테나를 자체 제작하여 사용하였다. 이와 같은 인체 호흡수 측정기는 생명체 탐지 장치나 수면 무호흡증 측정기로 사용될 수 있으며 동작 감지 레벨을 높이면 그 적용 범위는 더욱더 늘어날 것으로 예상된다.

해양환경의 대표적 오염물질인 PAHs가 양식굴의 생리대사에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자, 서로 다른 PAHs 농도에 노출된 굴의 여수율, 호흡율, 배설율 및 동화율의 변화를 조사하였다. 부착생물을 깨끗하게 제거한 굴을 실험실로 옮겨 3일정도 순치시키고, 이후 각각의 0, 50, 100, 200ppb의 농도별로 약 10일간 미리 노출시켰다. 이후 각 개체별로 2L 들이 2$0^{\circ}C$항온수조에서 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ 여과해수를 사용하여 실험하였다. 여수율은 Chaetoceros simplex를 지표생물로 하여 수조내 시간당 감소율을 구하여 Kim(1995)의 식에 의해 구하였다. 호흡율은 유동파라핀으로 외부와의 공기접촉을 단절시키고, 수조내 단위시간당 DO meter로 산소변화를 측정하여 Widdows and Johnson(1988)의 식을 변형하여 계산하였다. 배설율은 단위시간동안 수조내 NH$_4$-N 농도 증가량으로 조사하였고, NH$_4$-N은 HACH Inc.에서 제공하는 측정법을 따랐다. 여수율은 500ppb에서 다소 영향을 받아 증가하였다. 호흡율과 배설율은 노출농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였지만, 50ppb와 100ppb에서는 다소 차이가 없었다. 따라서 양식굴이 PAHs와 같은 오염물질에 노출되었을 경우, 초기에는 여수율의 변화는 없고 배설율과 호흡율이 상승하여 체내 에너지 요구량이 증가하는 것으로 생각된다.

화상평면내 미지호흡운동에 기인한 MRI 아티팩트를 제거하기 위한 후처리방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 호흡운동은 2차원의 선형확대축소운동으로 모델화 된다. 신체조직을 비압축성 유체모양의 물질로 가정할때, 화상위에서의 단위체적당 푸로톤 밀도는 일정하다고 가정한다. 사용한 모델에 따르면 호흡운동은 위상 오차와 비균일표본화 및 왜곡된 진폭변조를 MR 데이터에 부여한다. 운동 파라메타가 이미 알려져 있거나 추정 가능하다고 할 때, MRI 아티팩트를 제거하기 위하여 중첩법에 기초를 둔 재구성 알고리즘을 이용한다. 운동 파라매타가 미지인 경우 스팩트럼 이동법을 적용해서 호흡변동함수와 x 방향 확대계수 및 x 방향 확대중심을 추정한다. 다음으로 에너지 최소법을 이용해서 ｙ 방향 확대계수 및 ｙ 방향 확대중심을 추정한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해서 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인한다.

Backgrounds : Respiratory care for patients in intensive care units (ICUs) has been performed mainly by nurses in Korea. However, the current status of respiratory care in the Korea ICUs is not well known. Respiratory care and the methods of delivery in ICUs were surveyed. Method : A confidential questionnaire was distributed to the head nurses working the ICUs at 117 hospitals in Korea. One hundred hospitals returned the questionnaires, for a response rate of 85%. The hospitals were divided into three groups : Main university hospitals (MUH), university associated hospitals (UAH), and general hospitals (GH) Result : Eighteen units of 66 units in MUH and 35 units of 58 units in GH were organized as a general ICUs. The percentage of ICUs with full-time doctors was 47.1%. The nurses usually delivered respiratory care spending from 1 to 4 h during their 8 h of working time. Although the respondents felt that respiratory care should be delivered by trained respiratory therapists, these therapists were not found at the hospitals. Most of the units performed percussion, tracheal suctioning, and positional changes. However, vibration and IPPB were less frequently performed in GH. Among oxygen supply apparatus, venturi mask and T-piece were not frequently used in GH. GH applied a noninvasive ventilator mode less frequently than MUH and UAH. The percentage of Swan-Ganz catheter monitoring was only 21.4% in GH. Conclusion : Respiratory care for patients in the Korean ICUs was provided by nurses on the whole. In addition, there were many differences in the level of respiratory care according to the type of hospital. To overcome the current problems revealed, an effective in-hospital training program for the development of full-time respiratory care therapists should be established urgently in Korea.

This research is to identify how much toxic combustion gases are produced from Korea standardized real fire test (Class A&B) by using Room Corner Tester (RCT) and how much those gases are possibly dangerous to testing personnel by estimating the level of carboxyhemoglobin (% COHb). It is confirmed that testing personnel can be affected as more than 40% COHb from Class A 9th and 10th rating in respiration minute volume (RMV) 2 and from Class A 5th to Class A 10th rating in RMV 3 during the time for initial three minutes. Also, in the case of Class B real fire tests, although it is considered rather safe for the initial 1 minute, testing personnel can be affected as more than 20% COHb from Class B 16th to 20th rating in RMV 3 during total test time. Currently, the Korea standard is only focusing on the protection measures against the heat, but the it is neglecting the protection measures against toxic combustion gases. Therefore, according to this study, it is strongly recommended that testing personnel should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus, or the equivalence depending on the real fire test rating.

Increased nitrogen fertilization increased root respiration and top dry weight of rice plant, and increased phosphorus fertilization increased root respiration only with the same amount of nitrogen applied. The effect of phosphorus on root respiration under low growth temperature was not significant and the large application of phosphorus alone decreased root respiration greatly. Root respiration per unit root weight correlated highly with top dry weight and nutrient uptake.

In this study, an improved post-processing technique for correcting MRI artifact due to the unknown respiratory motion in the imaging plane is presented. Respiratory motion is modeled by a two-Dimensional linear expending-shrinking movement. Assuming that the body tissues are incompressible fluid like materials, the proton density per unit volume of the imaging object is kept constant. According to the introduced model, respiratory motion imposes phase error, non-uniform sampling and amplitude modulation distortions on the acquired MRI data. When the motion parameters are known or can be estimatead a reconstruction algorithm based on biliner superposition method was used to correct the MRI artifact. In the case of motion parameters are unknown, first, the spectrum shift method is applied to find the respiratory fluctuation function, x directional expansion coefficient and x directional expansion center. Next, y directional expansion coefficient and y directional expansion center are estimated by using the minimum energy method. Finally, the validity of this proposed method is shown to be effective by using the simulated motion images.
