  • In this paper, we propose a simple and relative electrode contact monitoring method. By exploiting the power line interference, which is regarded as one of the worst noise sources for bio-potential measurement, the relative difference in electrode impedance can be measured without a current or voltage source. Substantial benefits, including no extra circuit components, no degradation of the body potential driving circuit, and no electrical safety problem, can be achieved using this method. Furthermore, this method can be applied to multi-channel isolated bio-potential measurement systems and home health care devices under a steady measuring environment.

  • To ensure the autonomy of nursing care aetivies is one of the major and most interesting issues in the field of nursing. The pertaining autonomy demands the nurse to make decisions of her or his own with out interference and free of help from other sides of health care agency. The whole process of autonomous nursing behavior should be judged and conveyed by the nurse only on the basis of the internal factors of her care to solve the problems of the client's disorder in health. Truth of nursing science and relevence of nursing conduct depend on our construction of internal basis and establishment of self-sufficient reference system. The information for efficient decision-making at the scene of nursing can only be supplied by a systematic body of nursing science consisting of true or properly corroborated propositions. The science of nursing can be autonomous when we have framework of explanation, independently of other sciences and the behavior of nursing care can factually be independent of and peculiar to that of other but similar fields only when the science of nursing is correspondently autonomous.

  • Idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) represents a common neurodegenerative disorder. While epidemiological studies have suggested a number of risk factors including age, gender, race, and inherited disorder, the cumulative evidence supports the view that environmental or occupational exposure to certain chemicals may contribute to the initiation and progress of Parkinsonism. More recently, clinical and laboratory investigations have led to the theory that dysregulation of iron, an essential metal to body function, may underlie IPD by initiating free radical reaction, diminishing the mitochondrial energy production, and provoking the oxidative cytotoxicity. The participation of iron in neuronal cell death is especially intriguing in that iron acquisition and regulation in brain are highly conservative and thus vulnerable to interference from other metals that bear the similar chemical reactivity. Manganese neurotoxicity, induced possibly by altering iron homeostasis, is such an example. In fact, the current interest in manganese neurotoxicology stems from two primary concerns: its clinical symptoms that resemble Parkinson's disease and its increased use as an antiknock agent to replace lead in gasoline. This article will commence with addressing the current understanding of iron-associated neurodegenerative damage. The major focus will then be devoted to the mechanism whereby manganese alters iron homeostasis in brain.

  • This paper describes the development of the new type equilibrium sensation measuring system for human with handicap in the equilibrium sensation. The medium and small hospital could not use the developed equilibrium sensation measuring system, because it is very high prices. Therefore, the new type system should be developed to measure the numerical value of the equilibrium sensation in human with handicap. In this paper, First, two 3-axis force/moment sensors which can measure force Fz, moments Mx and My simultaneous were designed and manufactured, second, the high speed measuring device which can acquire the output from two 3-axis force/moment sensors, third, the new type equilibrium sensation measuring system was developed, then the characteristic test of the developed equilibrium sensation measuring system carried out, it is confirmed that the system could measure the swing body of human with handicap.

  • Bimodal tram has a carbody made of polymer composite material which is good electrical insulator. As an series hybrid type, Alternating voltage generated from generator coupled with CNG engine are rectified and transformed to variable voltage ranges which are applied to electrical apparatus and ECUs equipped inside of the tram. The failures of electrical insulation between high voltage($400V{\sim}800V$) and low voltage(24V) or between different kind of voltages such as AC and DC may cause some electrical interferences to prevent from operating rightly and other safety problem. This paper have investigated about the degradation factors of the electrical insulation and the earthing method available to bimodal tram, which is effective for preventing the electromagnetic interference coming from the inside or outside of tram but need some detecting measurements of earth leakage through electrical systems.

  • The pretibial cyst is a very rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It occurs whatever kind of graft choice or kind of graft fixation method at tibial side. It have been known such as graft necrosis at tibial side, extra-articular leakage of joint fluid through tibial tunnel, foreign body reaction due to breakdown of the bioabsorbable screw and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel as the cause of pretibial cyst. We experienced one case of pretibial cyst which had undergone ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft fixed with biodegradable interference screw. We report a rare case of pretibial cyst with literature review.

  • 본 논문은 2.4GHz 대역을 사용하는 WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network)환경에서 동일 채널을 사용하는 경우에 발생하는 간섭을 제거하기 위해 MMSE(Minimum Mean Square Error), OC(Optimal Combining), ML(Maximum Likelihood)을 비교 분석하였으며, IEEE 802.15.6에서 정의된 시나리오 및 채널 모델에 대해서 분석하였다. 모의실험 결과 ML 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 성능을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 ML과 OC의 경우 원하는 신호의 채널 정보뿐만 아니라 간섭채널의 정보를 알아야 하기 때문에 채널을 추정하기 위한 훈련 심볼의 자리를 수신노드에서 알고 있어야 하므로 WBAN환경에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 복잡도와 성능사이에 적당한 trade-off를 만족하는 간섭 제거 알고리즘을 연구해야 할 것이다.

  • This paper presents a hook-type finger force measuring system with force sensors. The system is composed of a body, two three-axis force sensors, a hook, and so on. The two three-axis force sensors system was specially designed using FEM(Finite Element Method) and fabricated using strain-gages. The sensors measure the finger forces of both normal people and handicapped people in the system, and the forces are combined. The developed hook-type finger force measuring system can measure the pulling finger force of both normal and handicapped people. The pulling force tests of men and women were performed using the developed the system. It is thought that the developed system can be used to measure the pulling force of fingers.

  • A reduced description of the dynamics of carriers in excited semiconductors is presented. Fristly, a time-convolutionless equation of motion for the reduced density operator is derved from the microscopic Liouville wquation operator method. Secondly, the quantum kinetic equations for intercting electron-hole parirs near band-edge in semiconductors under an extermal optical field are obtained from the equation of motion for the reduced density operator. The non-Markovian optical gain of a driven semiconductor is derived including the many-body effects. plasma screening and excitinic effects are taken into account using as effective Hamiltonian in the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation. it is shown that the line shape of optical-gain spectra gain is enhanced by the exicitonic effects caused by the attrative electron-hole Coulomb interaction and the interference effects (renormalized memory effects) between the extermal driving filed and the intermal driving Filed and the stochastic reservoir of the system.
