  • 외생균근(外生菌根)을 형성(形成)하는 모래밭버섯균(Pisolithus tinctorius) (Pt)을 대상(對象)으로 토성(土性)의 변화(變化)와 퇴비(堆肥)의 첨가(添加)로 인(因)한 토양비옥도(土壤肥沃度)의 변화(變化)에 따른 공생균(共生菌)으로써의 생장촉진효율(生長促進效率)을 조사(調査)하였다. Pt균(菌)을 vermiculite-peat moss-영양액(營養液)에 균사형태(菌絲形態)로 배양(培養)하여 세가지 토성(土性)((사토(砂土) 양질사토(養質砂土), 사질양토(砂質壤土)), 퇴비(堆肥)의 첨가유무(添加有無), 균근균(菌根菌)의 종류(種類)(Pt균(菌), 천연(天然) 균근균(菌根菌), 무균근(無菌根))에 따른 요인시험설계(要因試驗設計)에 맞추어서, 소독(消毒)된 흙 속에 접종(接種)하였다. 접종(接種)된 흙을 $4{\ell}$ 용량(容量)의 플라스틱 화분(花盆)에 담고 4개의 리기테다소나무(Pinus rigida ${\times}$ P. taeda) 종자(種子)를 파종(播種)하고 온실(溫室)에서 사개월간(四個月間) 생육(生育)시켰다. 수확후(收穫後)에 처리간(處理間)에 묘고(苗高), 건중량(乾重量), 균근형성율(菌根形成率), 질소함량(窒素含量), T/R율(率)을 조사(調査)하였다. 토성(土性), 토양비옥도(土壤肥沃度), 퇴비첨가유무((堆肥添加有無)에 관계(關係)없이, Pt로 접종(接種)된 묘목(苗木)은 천연균근균(天然菌根菌)으로 (토양(土壤) 소독(消毒)없이 천연적(天然的)으로 형성(形成)된 균근(菌根)) 접종(接種)된 묘목(苗木)이나 무균근묘목(無菌根苗木)(토양소독(土壤消毒)만 실시(實施))보다 묘고생장(苗高生長)과 건중량(乾重量)에서 훨씬 더 컸다. 그러나 가장 토양비옥도(土壤肥沃度)가 높은 토양(土壤)(퇴비(堆肥)가 첨가(添加)된 사질양토(砂質壤土), 질소(窒素) 0.075%, 유기물(有機物) 1.32%) 에서는 무균근묘목(無菌根苗木)이 Pt묘목(苗木)보다 묘고(苗高)에서 8%, 건중량(乾重量)에서 18% 더 좋았다. 전체(全体) 평균(平均)으로 볼 때 Pt묘목(苗木)은 천연균근묘목(天然菌根苗木)보다 묘고(苗高)에서 30%, 건중량(乾重量)에서 107% 더 컸으며, 무균근묘목(無菌根苗木)보다 묘고(苗高)에서 31%, 건중량(乾重量)에서 60% 더 컸다. 토양비옥도(土壤肥沃度)가 낮고 퇴비(堆肥)가 첨가(添加)되지 않았을 때, Pt균(菌)에 의(依)한 생장촉진효과(生長促進效果)가 더 크게 나타났다. 균근형겅빈도(菌根形成頻度)는 퇴비첨가(堆肥添加)로 Pt의 경우에 절반(折半)으로 사질양토(砂質壤土) 경우(境遇)에 84에서 33%로, 양질사토(養質砂土)의 경우(境遇)에 77에서 40%로) 줄었으나, 천연균근균(天然菌根菌)의 경우(境遇)에는 줄지 않았다. 무균근묘목(無菌根苗木)은 심(甚)한 질소결핍현상(窒素缺乏現像)(1.38%N)을 일으킨 반면(反面)에, Pt접종묘목(接種苗木)(1.68%N)과 천연균근묘목(天然菌根苗木)(1.89% N)은 정상적(正常的)이었다. 이로 미루어 보아서 균근균(菌根菌)은 토양내(土壤內) 질고(窒素)의 흡수(吸收)를 촉진(促進)한다고 생각된다. T/R율(率)은 퇴비첨가(堆肥添加)로 인(因)하여 증가(增加)하였으나, 균근균(菌根菌)의 종류(種類)나 그 존재유무(存在有無)로 인(因)하여 영향(影響)을 받지 않았다. 모래밭버섯균의 생장촉진효율(生長促進效率)은 비옥도(肥沃度)에 의(依)하여 결정(決定)된다고 결론(結論)지을 수 있다. 즉 비옥도(肥沃度)가 낮은 사질토(砂質土)에서 퇴비(堆肥)를 첨가(添加)하면 Pt의 효율(效率)이 크게 나타나지만, 비옥도(肥沃度)가 더 높은 사질양토(砂質壤土)에 퇴비(堆肥)를 첨가(添加)하면 Pt의 효율(效率)이 적게 나타난다. 모래밭버섯균의 이점(利點)은 퇴비(堆肥)를 첨가(添加)하지 않을 경우(境遇)와 토양(土壤)의 비옥도(肥沃度)가 높지 않을때 더 크게 나타날 것이라고 생각된다.

  • 인터넷 기술과 소셜 미디어의 빠른 성장으로 인하여, 구조화되지 않은 문서 표현도 다양한 응용 프로그램에 사용할 수 있게 마이닝 기술이 발전되었다. 그 중 감성분석은 제품이나 서비스에 내재된 사용자의 감성을 탐지할 수 있는 분석방법이기 때문에 지난 몇 년 동안 많은 관심을 받아왔다. 감성분석에서는 주로 텍스트 데이터를 이용하여 사람들의 감성을 사전 정의된 긍정 및 부정의 범주를 할당하여 분석하며, 이때 사전 정의된 레이블을 이용하기 때문에 다양한 방향으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 초기의 감성분석 연구에서는 쇼핑몰 상품의 리뷰 중심으로 진행되었지만, 최근에는 블로그, 뉴스기사, 날씨 예보, 영화 리뷰, SNS, 주식시장의 동향 등 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 많은 선행연구들이 진행되어 왔으나 대부분 전통적인 단일 기계학습기법에 의존한 감성분류를 시도하였기에 분류 정확도 면에서 한계점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 기계학습기법 대신 대용량 데이터의 처리에 우수한 성능을 보이는 딥러닝 기법과 딥러닝 중 CNN과 LSTM의 조합모델을 이용하여 감성분석의 분류 정확도를 개선하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 영화 리뷰 데이터셋인 IMDB의 리뷰 데이터 셋을 이용하여, 감성분석의 극성분석을 긍정 및 부정으로 범주를 분류하고, 딥러닝과 제안하는 조합모델을 활용하여 극성분석의 예측 정확도를 개선하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 과정에서 여러 매개 변수가 존재하기 때문에 그 수치와 정밀도의 관계에 대해 고찰하여 최적의 조합을 찾아 정확도 등 감성분석의 성능 개선을 시도한다. 연구 결과, 딥러닝 기반의 분류 모형이 좋은 분류성과를 보였으며, 특히 본 연구에서 제안하는 CNN-LSTM 조합모델의 성과가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

  • 연구목적 - 최근 기업에서 마케팅이나 광고를 할 때 아트를 활용하여 기존의 명화나 아티스트들과 협업한 새로운 작품을 제품에 접목하거나, 마케팅에 활용하는 경우가 늘어나는 추세이다. 아트 콜라보레이션 제품을 새로운 자극으로 생각하고, 자극에 민감하게 반응하는 독특성 추구성향과 호기심이 많은 소비자일수록 아트 콜라보레이션 제품에 대한 호감도가 증가할 것으로 본다. 따라서 본 연구는 아트마케팅에 대해 전반적으로 살펴보고, 개인특성인 호기심과 독특성 추구성향이 아트 콜라보레이션 제품에 대한 소비자의 감정에 미치는 영향과 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 알아 보았다. 그리고 성별에 따라 개인특성과 소비자의 감정 사이에 미치는 영향은 차이가 있을 것이라 예측하고 성별의 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 - 호기심은 긍정적 감정에 정의 영향을 미치며, 환기와 부정적 감정에는 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 독특성 추구성향 중 창의적 선택은 긍정적 감정과 환기에 정의 영향을 미치며, 부정적 감정에 부의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 독특성 추구성향 중 비대중적 선택은 긍정적 감정과 부정적 감정에는 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 환기에는 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 독특성 추구성향 중 유사성 회피는 소비자의 감정에 어떠한 영향도 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 성별에 따른 차이를 살펴본 결과, 창의적 선택과 부정적 감정 사이와 비대중적 선택과 부정적 감정 사이에서만 남녀 간의 차이가 유의한 것으로 나타났다. 시사점 - 소비자의 호기심을 유발시킬 수 있는 새로운 디자인이나 전략을 시도하면 효과적일 것을 알 수 있으며, 독특성 욕구 중 자신의 정체성을 표현하고자 하는 욕구가 높은 사람이 아트 제품에 대하여 감정의 영향을 많이 받음을 알 수 있다. 따라서 지속적으로 예술가들과 콜라보레이션 활동을 통해 소비자의 감성을 자극하는 제품을 생산해야 할 것이다. 성별에 따른 큰 차이가 없으므로 남녀 구분없이 모두의 관심을 끌 수 있는 마케팅을 해도 무관하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

  • 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. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. 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. 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 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. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. 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. 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.

  • 대기업과 중소기업의 갈등이 심화되고 있고 낙수효과 또한 제대로 작동하지 않고 있으며 사업조정제도의 실효성에 대한 논란이 이어지고 있는 가운데 중소기업의 사업영역을 보호하고 중소 대기업간 양극화를 해소하며 더불어 골목상권도 보호하기 위한 방안으로 도입된 것이 중소기업 적합업종 지정제도이다. 중소기업 적합업종의 추진현황은 제조업분야로 중소기업 적합업종 품목 중 234개 품목을 신청 접수 받아 실태조사 및 분석하여 조정협의체의 품목을 선정하였다. 서비스업분야에서의 적합업종 지정은 사회적 갈등이 있는 업종부터 지정할 계획인데, 중소기업 및 소상공인의 생업과 관련된 3개 대분류 서비스업종을 대상으로 우선 지정하고 추후 순차적으로 확대할 예정이다. 하지만 중소기업 적합업종 품목으로 선정될 경우에는 중소기업의 성장 동기가 저해될 우려가 있으며, 중소기업 적합업종 품목 지정은 소비자 후생 감소가 나타날 수 있다. 또한 사전적 규제로 작용할 소지가 높을 뿐만 아니라 경쟁을 제도적으로 제한함으로써 부작용이 나타날 우려가 있으며 FTA 체제의 주요 규정에 대한 위배 가능성도 있다. 뿐만아니라 대기업에 대한 역차별 요인이 충분히 반영되지 않고 있다는 점도 문제점으로 지적된다. 특히 중소기업 적합업종제도가 대기업의 주력분야와 관계없는 서비스업에 대한 진출 확대로 인해 중소기업 및 소상공인과의 갈등을 초래하고 있는 실정이므로 중소기업이나 중소상인의 보호를 위해서는 프랜차이즈시스템을 통해서 지역 중소기업을 발전시키고 마스터 프랜차이즈나 지역 프랜차이즈 시스템과 같은 선진 계약 방식을 도입하는 것이 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 방식은 기업들의 경쟁력과 운영방식을 한층 더 진일보 시켜 중소 프랜차이즈기업의 경쟁력 강화에 기여하는 효과도 있지만 부정적 측면이 더 많다고 볼 수 있다. 첫째, 지식경제부가 밝히고 있듯이, 프랜차이즈산업은 자영업자의 창업 성공률을 높여주고, 기존 자영업자를 조직화하여 규모의 경제를 통한 경쟁력 강화에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 다양한 서비스를 소비자에게 제공함으로써 내수시장을 확대하고, 일자리 창출에 기여하는 등 자영업자 경쟁력 제고와 서비스 산업 활성화를 위한 '유용한 수단'임을 강조하고 정부 서민안정 대책으로 밝힌바 있다. 이러한 관점에서 본다면, 프랜차이즈는 적합업종 제도의 취지에 부합하는 것이며 이에 반하는 것이 아님을 알 수 있다. 둘째, 적합업종으로 지정될 경우 국제적 경쟁력을 갖고 있는 국내 프랜차이즈 대기업들의 위축과 사기저하로 인하여 해외진출과 R&D, 식품안전에 대한 투자 감소와 더불어 국내 진출한 해외 기업들의 사업 확장에 부정적 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. 또한 국내 진출한 다국적 해외 프랜차이즈기업들과의 경쟁력을 확보하는 것이 무엇보다도 시급한 국내 프랜차이즈산업 현실에서 국제적 경쟁력 확보의 어려움뿐만 아니라 국내에 진출한 해외 프랜차이즈기업들과의 역차별이 발생할 수도 있다. 셋째, 중소기업 적합업종 품목 지정은 지금까지 제품을 사용해 왔던 소비자들의 선택의 기회를 제한함과 동시에 소비자의 후생을 감소시키는 부정적인 효과를 초래한다. 또한 중소기업 간의 역차별 문제를 발생시켜 소수 중소기업이 시장을 독점함으로써 소비자 선택의 폭이 줄어들 가능성이 있으므로 제품의 효용을 판단하는 역할은 국가가 아닌 소비자의 몫으로 남겨두어야 한다. 마지막으로는 프랜차이즈와 관련하여 이미 가맹사업법과 그리고 공정거래위원회의 모범거래기준 등의 시행으로 공정거래는 확보하고 있으므로 앞으로도 부족한 부분은 이들을 보완하여 진행하는 것이 바람직하다고 본다. 중소기업 적합업종 지정으로 이중삼중으로 규제하는 것은 오히려 프랜차이즈 분야에 과도한 제한이 될 것이다. 이제 국내 프랜차이즈산업에서도 한국의 문화를 전파하는 세계적 프랜차이즈기업이 성장할 수 있는 환경조성과 정부의 적극적인 지원이 필요하다. 따라서 프랜차이즈 기업의 성장 과정이나 배경을 고려하지 않고 현재 대기업이라는 이유만으로 이들에게 불이익을 주는 일은 없어야 한다. 프랜차이즈기업의 성장억제로 인하여 결국 가맹점의 매출감소는 물론이고 심지어는 폐업하는 가맹점의 숫자를 증가시키는 또 다른 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 따라서 중소기업 적합업종제도가 대기업의 발목을 잡는 것이 아니라 소상공인과 중소기업의 경쟁력 제고와 동반성장을 목표로 하고 있는 만큼 대기업과 소상공인 및 중소기업이 상생과 협력을 바탕으로 거래관계를 지속하는 프랜차이즈 기업들이 포함되지 않도록 하는 것이 타당할 것이다.

  • The research conducted here focuses on the effect of factors that affect the behavior of UCC (User Created Content) website users, other than user's rational recognition of how useful a UCC website can be. Most discussions in the existing literature on information systems have focused on users' evaluation how a UCC website can help to attain the users' own goals. However, there are other factors and this research pays attention to an individual's 'personality,' which is stable and biological in nature. Specifically, I have noted here that 'extroversion' and 'neuroticism,' the two common personality factors presented in Eysenck's most representative 'EPQ Model' and 'Big Five Model,' are the two personality factors that affect a site's 'usefulness,' by this I mean how useful does the user consider the website and its content. How useful a site is considered by the user is the other factor that has been regarded as the antecedent factor that influences the adoption of information systems in the existing MIS (Management Information System) research. Secondly, as using or creating a UCC website does not guarantee the user's or the creator's extrinsic motivation, unlike when using the information system within an organization, there is a greater likelihood that the increase in user's activities in relation to a UCC website is motivated by emotional factors rather than rational factors. Thus, I have decided to include the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable in the research model. Thirdly, when based on the S-O-R Paradigm of Mehrabian and Russell, the two cognitive factors and emotional factors are finally affected by stimulus, and thus these factors ultimately have an effect on an individual's respondent behavior. Therefore, this research has presented an assumption that the recognition of how useful the site and content is and what emotional pleasure it provides will finally affect the behavior of the UCC website users. Finally, the relationship between the recognition of how useful a site is and how pleasurable it is to useand UCC usage may differ depending on certain situational conditions. In other words, the relationship between the three factors may vary according to how much users are involved in the creation of the website content. Creation thus emerges as the keyword of UCC. I analyzed the above relationships through the moderating variable of the user's involvement in the creation of the site. The research result shows the following: When it comes to the relationship between an individual's personality and what they find pleasurable it is extroverted users who have a greater likelihood to feel pleasure when using a UCC website, as was expected in this research. This in turn leads to a more active usage of the UCC web site because a person who is an extrovert likes to spend time on activities with other people, is sensitive to new experiences and stimuli and thus actively responds to these. An extroverted person accepts new UCC activities as part of his/her social life, rather than getting away from this new UCC environment. This is represented by the term 'Foxonomy' where the users meet a variety of users from all over the world and contact new types of content created by these users. However, neuroticism creates the opposite situation to that created by extroversion. The representative symptoms of neuroticism are instability, stress, and tension. These dispositions are more closely related to stress caused by a new environment rather than this creatingcuriosity or pleasure. Thus, neurotic persons have an uneasy feeling and will eventually avoid the situation where their own or others' daily lives are frequently exposed to the open web environment, this eventually makes them have a negative attitude towards the web environment. When it comes to an individual's personality and how useful site is, the two personality factors of extroversion and neuroticism both have a positive relationship with the recognition of how useful the site and its content is. The positive, curious, and social dispositions of extroverted persons tend to make them consider the future usefulness and possibilities of a new type of information system, or website, based on their positive attitude, which has a significant influence on the recognition of how useful these UCC sites are. Neuroticism also favorably affects how useful a UCC website can be through a different mechanism from that of extroversion. As the neurotic persons tend to feel uneasy and have much doubt about a new type of information system, they actively explore its usefulness in order to relieve their uncomfortable feelings. In other words, neurotic persons seek out how useful a site can be in order to secure their own stable feelings. Meanwhile, extroverted persons explore how useful a site can be because of their positive attitude and curiosity. As a lot of MIS research has revealed that the recognition of how useful a site can be and how pleasurable it can be to use have been proven to have a significant effect on UCC activity. However, the relationship between these factors reveals different aspects based on the user's involvement in creation. This factor of creationgauges the interest of users in the creation of UCC contents. Involvement is a variable that shows the level of an individual's mental effort in creating UCC contents. When a user is highly involved in the creation process and makes an enormous effort to create UCC content (classed a part of a high-involvement group), their own pleasure and recognition of how useful the site is have a significantly higher effect on the future usage of the UCC contents, more significantly than the users who sit back and just retrieve the UCC content created by others. The cognitive and emotional response of those in the low-involvement group is unlikely to last long,even if they recognize the contents of a UCC website is pleasurable and useful to them. However, the high-involvement group tends to participate in the creation and the usage of UCC more favorably, connecting the experience with their own goals. In this respect, this research presents an answer to the question; why so many people are participating in the usage of UCC, the representative form of the Web 2.0 that has drastically involved more and more people in the creation of UCC, even if they cannot gain any monetary or social compensation. Neither information system nor a website can succeed unless it secures a certain level of user base. Moreover, it cannot be further developed when the reasons, or problems, for people's participation are not suitably explored, even if it has a certain user base. Thus, what is significant in this research is that it has studied users' respondent behavior based on an individual's innate personality, emotion, and cognitive interaction, unlike the existing research that has focused on 'compensation' to explain users' participation with the UCC website. There are also limitations in this research. Firstly, I divided an individual's personality into extroversion and neuroticism; however, there are many other personal factors such as neuro-psychiatricism, which also needs to be analyzed for its influence on UCC activities. Secondly, as a UCC website comes in many types such as multimedia, Wikis, and podcasting, these types need to be included as a sub-category of the UCC websites and their relationship with personality, emotion, cognition, and behavior also needs to be analyzed.

  • 연구배경: 조식의 손상에의한 염증반응후 회복과정에서 정상조직으로 환원되지 않고 일부는 결체조직으로 대체되어 섬유화가 일어난다. 이 비정상적 섬유화에 의해 섬유화증이 일어나 조직의 원래 기능을 상설하기도 한다. 이때 염증에 관계되는 세포로부터 분비된 여러종류의 cytokine들이 섬유모세포의 증식과 교원질 합성을 조절한다. 이에 관계된 cytokine들의 상호 관련성과 섬유모세포증식에의 영향을 알아내어 조절함으로써 섬유화증을 예방하고 치료하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 proinflammatory cytokine인 TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$, IL-6와 섬유모세포의 증식에 큰 영향을 미치는 TGF-$\beta$의 상호 관련성을 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법: 섬유모세포는 사람 태아의 섬유모세포주인 MRC-5를 사용하였으며, 0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20%의 우태아 혈청을 첨가하여 1, 2, 3, 4, 5일째의 MRC-5 증식을 측정하여, 최소한으로 MRC-5의 증식을 억제하면서 생존을 유지시킬 수 있는 배양액중 혈청농도를 먼저 확정한 후, TGF-$\beta$, TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$, IL-6를 각각 RPMI 배지에 첨가하여 $37^{\circ}C$, 5% $CO_2$ 보온기에서 96 시간동안 배양하여 0.5 % naphthol blue black으로 염색한 뒤, 50mM의 NaOH로 naphthol blue black을 유리시켜 630nm에서의 분광흡수를 잼으로써 MRC-5의 수를 측정하였다. 또한 TGF-$\beta$와 다른 cytokine의 관련성을 알아보기위해 TGF-$\beta$와 함께 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$를 각각 배지에 첨가하여 96 시간 배양 후, 위와 동일한 방법으로 MRC-5의 수를 측정하였으며, TNF-$\alpha$와 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6의 상호 관련성을 알아보기 위해 TNF-$\alpha$와 함께 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6를 각각 배지에 첨가하여 96 시간 배양한 뒤 위와 동일한 방법으로 MRC-5의 수를 측정하였고, 마지막으로 TGF-$\beta$와 TNF-$\alpha$의 섬유모세포 증식에 미치는 상호 관련성을 알아보기 위하여 TGF-$\beta$와 TNF-$\alpha$를 함께 배지에 첨가하여 96 시간 배양 후, MRC-5의 수를 역시 통일한 방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과: 1. 최소한으로 MRC-5의 증식을 억제하면서 생존을 유지할 수 있는 배양액중 혈청 농도를 측정한 결과, 0.5% 혈청 농도에서 MRC-5의 증식이 50% 증가된 상태로 배양 6일째 까지 유지되었다. 따라서 이후의 실험에서 사용된 배양액에는 0.5%의 우태아혈청을 포함시켰다. 2. 각 cytokine이 MRC-5 증식에 미치는 영향 0.5%의 우태아혈청만이 있는 상태에서의 MRC-5 증식 정도를 100%로 기준하였을 때, IL-1$\beta$는 50 ng/ml의 농도에서만 45%의 증식 촉진효과를 보였고, IL-6는 영향이 없었으며, TGF-$\beta$와 TNF-$\alpha$는 농도에 의존성을 보이며 MRC-5의 증식을 최고 160% 까지 증가시켰다. 3. TGF-$\beta$에 의한 MRC-5 증식능증가에 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6, TNF-$\alpha$가 미치는 영향 50 ng/ml의 TGF-$\beta$ 단독 자극에 비하여, IL-1$\beta$ 혼합배양시 농도에 의존성으로 보이며 최고 64% 까지, TNF-$\alpha$ 혼합배양시 농도에 의존성을 보이며 최고 159% 까지 MRC-5의 증식을 증가시켰다. IL-6는 약한 억제효과를 보였으나 TGF-$\beta$에 의한 MRC-5 증식능 증가에 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 4. TNF-$\alpha$에 의한 MRC-5 증식능 증가에 IL-1$\beta$, IL-6가 미치는영향 50 ng/ml의 TNF-$\alpha$ 단독자극에 비하여, IL-1$\beta$을 혼합 배양하였을때 농도에 의존성을 보이며 최고 50%까지 MRC-5의 증식을 억제하였고, IL-6는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 5. TNF-$\alpha$와 TGF-$\beta$의 MRC-5 증식능 증가에서의 상호관련성 50 ng/ml의 TGF-$\beta$와 TNF-$\alpha$는 MRC-5의 증식을 각각 89%, 135% 증가시켰으며, TGF-$\beta$와 TNF-$\alpha$ 공존시에는 MRC-5의 증식을 222% 증가시켰다. 결 론: TNF-$\alpha$ TGF-$\beta$, IL-1$\beta$의 순서로 MRC-5에 대한 증식 자극효과가 있으며 IL-6는 증식을 억제하는 효과가 있었다. TGF-$\beta$의 MRC-5에 대한 증식 자극효과는 IL-1과 TNF-$\alpha$에 의해 첨가효과를 관찰할 수 있었고, TNF-$\alpha$의 MRC-5 증식 자극효과는 IL-1$\beta$에 의하여 억제되었다.
