During the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), the correct chest compression depth and period are very important to increase the resuscitation possibility. For the feedback of chest compression depth, the depth monitoring device based on the accelerometer is developed and widely used. But this method tends to overestimate the compression depth on the bed. To overcome this limitation, the chest compression depth estimation method using two accelerometers is suggested With the additional accelerometer between the patient and mattress on the bed, the compression of the mattress is also measured and it is used to compensate the overestimation error. The experimental results show that the single accelerometer estimates as 61.4mm for the actual compression depth of 43.6mm on the mattress. The depth estimation with the dual accelerometer was 44.6mm which is close to the actual depth. With the automatic zeroing in every single compression, the integration error for the depth can be reduced. The dual accelerometer method is effective to increase the accuracy of the chest compression depth estimation.

회귀에 기인하는 부정맥의 발생 기전 분석을 위해 심장 전도 계통의 변경된 Hidden Markov Model을 세우고 모의 실험을 하였다. 먼저, 심근의 탈분극 시간과 전도 속도, 탈분극의 자율성(autonomicity)을 매개 변수로 한 모의 실험을 통해 시간적인 심장 진도와 피에 따른 심전도 결과를 얻었다. 결과는 연속된 심전도 파형과 그 발생 시간이었다. 매개변수는 율동의 속도, 각 파형간의 간격, 이상 파형의 발생 빈도등을 결정한다. 정상 동율격 및 심실상성/심실성 정맥, 심방/심실 조기 박동등을 모의 실험할 수 있는 매개변수의 세트를 구하였다. 다음으로 Hidden Markov Model의 확률적 추정 방법을 응용하여 심전도 결과를 가지고 최적 확률의 심장 전도 경로를 추정하였다. 변경된 추정 방법을 이용하여, 모의 실험한 전도경로와 추정한 경로가 유사함을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate applicability of pretreatment on the existing biological treatment for domestic wastewater reclamation. From Jar Tests, it was found that optimum dosage of coagulant was PAC 0.5mg/L and $FeCl_3$ 180mg/L for urban sewage. In this study, PAC 0.5mg/L was selected considering sludge production and the amount of coagulant required. In a continuous experiment performed with combining chemical coagulation and biological treatment, a considerable removal efficency was obtained in term of BOD, SS, T-N, T-P and ABS. When the raw sewage was supplied into the pre-chamical treatment facility, the removal of BOD and SS was 48.3% and 81.1%. However T-N removal was very low which means T-N consists of $NH_3-N$ mostly. T-P was almost completely recluced by the chemical addition. The effluent BOD & SS was 57~76 and 21~43mg/L, which could reduce the size of biological treatment facility. From the cost estimation pre-chemical treatment could save around half of the area required for biological treatment with post ceagulation.

Biodiversity and the community composition of micro-eukaryotic organisms were investigated in the Upo wetland in Korea using molecular analysis. Molecular identification was performed using cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and small subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU rDNA). The genomic DNA was isolated directly from soil samples. The COI and SSU rDNA regions were amplified using universal primers and then sequenced after cloning. In a similarity search of the obtained sequences with BLAST in the Genbank database, the closely related sequences from NCBI were used to identify the amplified sequences. A total of six eukaryotic groups (Annelida, Arthropoda, Rotifera, Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, and Stramenopiles) with COI and six groups (Annelida, Arthropoda, Rotifera, Alveolata, Fungi, and Apicomplexa) with SSU rDNA genes were determined in the Upo wetland. Among 38 taxa in 20 genera, which are closely related to the amplified sequences, 10 genera (50%) were newly reported in Korea and five genera (25%) were shown to be distributed in the Upo wetland. This approach is applicable to the development of an efficient method for monitoring biodiversity without traditional taxonomic processes and is expected to produce more accurate results in depositing molecular barcode data in the near future.

Hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of whole plant of Boerhavia diffusa were screened for phytochemical and biological activities. Qualitative phytochemical screening via colorimetric method and the quantitative estimation of phenolic and flavonoid content were performed. Antioxidant assay using DPPH scavenging method was studied. Antimicrobial screening of plant extracts was done by cup diffusion technique. Cytotoxic activity of B. diffusa was studied by brine shrimp bioassay and anthelminthic activity was evaluated in vitro in Pheretima posthuma. This study revealed B. diffusa as a source of various phyto-constituents such as alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids and terpenoids. Quantitative estimation of total phenol was found to be maximum in BEE i.e. $29.73{\pm}0.88$, BME $19.8{\pm}2.02$ and in BHE $9.15{\pm}0.304mgGAE/g$. Similarly, the total flavonoid content was found to be $17.44{\pm}0.75$ in BEE, $14.43{\pm}0.23$ in BHE and 3.678 mg QE/g in BME. Ethyl acetate extract showed its antibacterial activity against all tested pathogens except Escherichia coli whereas Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella Typhi were resistant to methanol and hexane extract. The zone of inhibition (ZOI) of ethyl acetate extract against S. Typhi and B. cereus was found to be 18 mm and 14 mm respectively. The MIC value of BEE in S. Typhi was $3.125{\mu}g/ml$ and in B. cereus was $12.5{\mu}g/ml$. The preliminary screening of anticancer property of B. diffusa i.e. BSLT in methanol was found to be $165.19{\mu}g/ml$. B. diffusa was also found to contain anthelmintic property. The study helped in further exploration of medicinal properties of B. diffusa by phytochemical screening and biological activities paving the path for study and investigation in this plant.

In the case of the image reconstruction from unknown projection data such as imaging the object with opaque obstructions, conventional reconstruction algorithms may reconstruct a degraded image. In this paper, a new method for the estimation of the unknown projection data based on known projection data and the bandwidth of projection data is proposed. The proposed method successfully estimates the unknown projection data through iterative transformation between projection space and frequency space using the known projection data and the bandwidth of the projection data. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method significantly improves image quality and convergence behavior over conventional algorithms. In addition, the proposed method is successfully applied to ultrasound attenuation CT using a sponge phantom.

연구개에 결함이 있는 사람의 발음은 부적절한 비음이 섞이게 되어 과비음성 비음이 되어 연구개를 복원해주는 시술을 하게 되는데, 과비음성 비음을 정량적으로 측정할 수있다면 시술 결과를 객관화 할 수 있게 된다. 현재 임상적으로 사용되고 있는 방법들은 관혈적이거나 고가의 장비를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 비음의 특징인 스펙트럼에서 zero 의 존재와 비강에 의한 포만트의 존재 사실, 그리고 선형 예측 모델을 이용하여 마이크로폰과 사운드 카드가 장착된 PC로 구현할 수 있는 새로운 과비음성 비음 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 음성 신호의 스펙트럼에 zero가 존재하는 경우, 낮은 차수(order)의 선형 예측 모델이 그 음성을 발음한 성도 시스템에 정확히 적용되지 않는다는 점을 이용하여, 같은 음성에 대한 높은 차수의 선형 예측 모델과의 차이를 이용해서 과비음성의 정량화를 시도했다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 Teager Operator를 이용한 알고리즘에 비해서 Nasonmeter 의 측정결과와 더 높은 통계적 상관관계를 보여주었다.

The power spectrum of background EEG is estimated by the Plsarenko Harmonic Decomposition with the stochastic process whlch consists of the nonhamonic sinus Bid and the white nosie. The estimation results are examined and compared with the results from the maximum entropy spectral extimation, and the optimal order of this from the maximum entropy spectral extimation, and the optimal order of this model can be determined from the eigen value's fluctuation of autocorrelation of background EEG. From the comparing results, this method is possible to estimate the power spectrum of background EEG.

The proposed tracking algorithm approaches geometrical method or position, direction, width of vessel. This algorithm using continuity of vessel in spatial coordinates used to determine direction of the center point, after estimating boundary point in dynamic region. Therefore the tracking of vessel's contour is tracked contour as direction of entire contour in coronary artery. This algorithm is automatically processed by DIP as a compared with conventional method, because searching area varies adaptively to allocate searching region from extracted information at past. And ML estimation expressed robust method or angiography as evaluating sample values after preprocessing.
