대구광역시에 자생하고 있는 모감주나무군락의 종조성과 구조 그리고 개체군 동태를 파악하기 위하여 2018년 7월에 자생 임분 3곳을 선정하여 식물사회학적 식생조사와 매목조사를 실시하였다. 야외에서 수집된 식생 및 매목조사 정보를 바탕으로 종조성에 의한 군락 유형을 구분하고 그 유형별 계층구조, 구성 종의 상대 중요치, 생활형 조성, 종다양성, 그리고 개체군 구조 등을 분석, 비교하였다. 군락 유형은 참느릅나무-좀목형아군락, 광대싸리아군락, 그리고 사위질빵군락 등 3개 유형이 구분되고 그 식생단위체계는 1개 군락군, 2개 군락, 그리고 2개 아군락으로 정리되었다. 계층구조는 교목층의 높은 식피율(85% 이상)에 비하여 초본층은 10%이하로 매우 낮은 경향이었다. 구성종의 상대중요치(MIV)는 교목층 94.3, 아교목층 81.6, 관목층 75.5, 그리고 초본층 60.0으로 모든 식생 층위에서 모감주나무가 절대적으로 높게 나타났다. 종다양도(H')는 군락 유형 간 큰 차이가 있었는데 사위질빵군락(2.062)이 광대싸리아군락(0.547)에 비해 약 4배정도 높게 나타났다. 생활형 조성의 중심체계(휴면형-지하기관형-산포기관형-생육형)는 전체적으로 '$MM-R_5-D_4{\cdot}D_2-e$'로 나타났으나 군락 유형 간에는 산포기관형에 있어서 다소 차이를 보였다. 모감주나무군락의 개체군 구조는 3개 군락 유형에서 모두 어린 개체의 밀도가 높고 크기가 큰 개체의 밀도가 낮은 역J자형의 모양을 나타내고 현재의 하층식생을 구성하고 있는 식물 중 모감주나무 개체군을 대체할 만한 식물종이 없으므로 지속적 유지가 가능한 개체군으로 판단되었다.

이 연구는 옹기장인들의 옹기제작기술을 전통지식이라는 관점에서 접근한 것으로 구체적인 옹기제작기술 속에 전통지식들이 어떻게 내재되어 있는지를 살핀 것이다. 특히 옹기제작 관련 전통지식들이 어떤 범주들로 구성되어 있으며 제작기술과의 관계에서 어떤 양상을 띠는가 하는 점들에 주목한다. 옹기제작 과정은 크게 재료의 준비, 기물의 성형, 소성 단계로 나누어지는데, 매 단계마다 고유한 전통지식들이 존재한다. 먼저 재료준비 단계에서는 각종 흙에 대한 지식들이 주를 이룬다. 흙의 색깔과 성질, 좋은 옹기흙의 지역 분포에 대한 정보, 옹기 제작에 적합한 것으로 흙을 재조정하는 기술 등이다. 그리고 두 번째의 기물 성형단계에서는 물레의 구조와 형태, 흙을 쌓아올리는 데 필요한 기술, 각종 도구를 사용하는 방법, 완성된 형태의 옹기를 건조하는 기술 등이 주를 이룬다. 마지막으로 소성 단계에서는 가마에 대한 지식과 가마 제작 기술, 가마 내 옹기를 쟁이는 기술, 화목에 대한 지식과 불 때는 기술, 불의 종류 등이 주를 이룬다. 이들 지식들은 각각 별개로 존재하지 않고 상호 밀접한 관련을 맺고 있다. 이는 어느 한 과정이 잘못되어도 완전한 옹기의 생산이 어려워지기 때문이다. 지식의 내용을 중심으로 볼 때 이들은 재질 색상 형태 분포양상 용융점 강도 물리적 성질 등과 같은 과학적 범주에 속하는 것들이 많다. 하지만 이들 지식들은 공식적 제도교육과정을 통해 얻은 것들이라기보다는 비공식적인 도제교육을 통한 오랜 경험속에서 터득한 것들이 대부분이다. 그리고 지식의 체계는 쉽게 드러나지 않는데, 주로 민속과학(ethnoscience)적 분류와 범주 속에서 이해될 수 있는 것들이 대부분이다. 이들 지식들은 유네스코 세계무형문화유산의 개념으로 보면 '자연 및 우주에 관한 지식'범주에 속한다. 이와는 달리 신체와 사용 도구, 그리고 제작하고자 하는 기물을 일체화시켜 내는 것으로 '신체기술(body techniques)'이라 부를 수 있는 것들도 있다. 이에 대해서는 옹기장인들 스스로도 설명하는 데 어려움을 가지며, 그들이 굳이 설명을 하더라도 해당분야에 대한 경험과 식견이 없는 한 이해가 쉽지 않다. 이러한 지식들은 습득 및 전승방식에 따라 구분해보면,'옹기 장인의 일반적 지식'과 '특정 옹기 장인만이 갖춘 고유한 지식'들로 구분할 수 있다. 그리고 지식이 갖는 축적된 시간의 깊이에 따라 '역사가 긴 지식'과 '최근에 만들어진 지식'등이 있을 수 있다. 옹기제작과정에서 드러난 옹기 장인들의 기술과 전통지식은 재료의 준비과정에서부터 최종 완성품이 만들어지기까지의 전 과정에서 수많은 범주와 층위의 기술들이 긴밀하게 연계되어 있다. 이러한 양상은 '기술의 사슬(techniques chain)'이라고 할 만하다. 이때의 기술은 반드시 자연과학적 범주의 기술(techniques)만을 의미하는 것은 아니며, 솜씨(skill)를 비롯하여 장인들 스스로도 의식하기 어려운 습관적 행위들까지를 포함하는 다양한 층위의 기술과 지식들이라고 할 수 있다.

해빈 안정화를 위한 구조물 설계 시 주 표사이송 모드와 모드별 년 표사 이송량에 관한 정보는 상당한 공학적 가치를 지닌다. 이러한 시각에서 본고에서는 현재 상당한 침식이 진행되고 있는 맹방해변의 년 표사 이송량을 산출하였다. 횡단표사의 경우 Bagnold(1963)의 에너지 모형을 확장한 Bailard(1981)의 모형을 활용하였으며, 연안 표사량은 각 해안에서 가용한 파랑에너지 유입률에 의해 결과 되는 것으로 해석하였다. Bailard(1981)의 횡단표사모형 적용에 필요한 유속 적률은 먼저 맹방해변에서 관측된 파랑자료로부터 출현 가능한 총 71개의 파랑주기 복합사상을 선정하고, 선정된 복합사상을 대상으로 수행된 맹방해변에서의 비선형 천수과정 수치모의 결과로부터 산출하였다. 이 과정에서 파랑모형으로는 주파수 영역 Boussinesq Eq.(Frelich and Guza, 1984)을 활용하였으며, 모의결과 Bailard(1981)의 연구와는 달리 유속 적률과 Irribaren NO. 간에 존재하는 뚜렷한 상관관계를 확인할 수 있었다. 산출 결과 맹방해변 평균 방위 ${\beta}=41.6^{\circ}$의 경우 북서진하는 연안표사가 우월하며 그 양은 년 $125,000m^3/m$에 달하였다. 북서진하는 연안표사와 남동진하는 연안표사가 균형을 이루는 null point는 ${\beta}=47^{\circ}$에 위치하며, 횡단표사의 경우 4월부터 10월 중순까지는 연안방향으로의 퇴적이 점진적으로 진행되나 10월 말과 삼월에 단발적으로 발생하는 고파랑에 의해 침식되는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 맹방해변의 연안표사 장미도(littoral drift rose)를 산출하였으며, 그 결과 맹방해변의 방위가 일시적으로 null point의 방위보다 큰 경우 남동진하는 연안표사가 우월하며, 방위가 일시적으로 null point의 방위보다 작은 경우 북서진하는 연안표사가 우월한 경향을 확인하였으며, 이는 맹방해변은 일시적으로 침식되더라도 스스로 복원할 수 있는 능력을 지닌 안정적인 해변임을 의미한다.

이 논문은 미국에서 생산되는 미국삼이 19세기 서구 약전에서 퇴출된 이후, 20세기에 수출 상품으로서 위기를 겪고, 결국은 '식이보충제'로서 미국 사회와 군대 내에 정착하게 되는 과정을 다루고 있다. 이 과정 속에서 먼저 1994년의 <식이보충제 건강 및 교육법>이라는 법령의 제정은 인삼을 비롯한 식물성 식이보충제들이 미국의 시장에 본격적으로 진출할 수 있는 교두보를 마련해줬고, 그 결과 인삼은 과거 약전에서의 퇴출 이후 '식이보충제'로서 <미국 약전 및 국민 처방집>에 다시 등재될 수 있었다. 하지만 이것은 인삼과 기타 식물성 식이보충제들의 완전한 연착륙을 의미하는 것은 아니었다. 식물성 식이보충제들의 무차별적인 확산을 경계한 미국의 의학계에서는 끊임없이 '위험 담론'을 제기하면서 과학적으로 검증되지 않은 식이보충제 활용에 대한 우려를 표했다. 이것은 <식이보충제 건강 및 교육법>의 느슨한 검증 제도로 인한 근본적인 문제뿐만 아니라, 미국의 대중들이 전문 의료인들을 찾기보다는 직접 식물성 식이보충제에 대한 정보를 얻어 그것을 통해 본인의 건강을 돌보고자 하는 새로운 분위기와도 관계되어 있었다. 이런 상황 속에서 '옹호 담론'을 펼치는 식이보충제 제조업자 및 식물 약재 관계자들의 주장은 다소 여유로워 보였다. 소비자들이 '옹호 담론'의 손을 들어주고 있는 상황 속에서 옹호론자들은 식물성 식이보충제들이 오랜 세월 아무런 문제없이 세계적으로 활용되어왔으며, '천연의' 원료로 만들어졌다는 점만 강조하면 되었기 때문이다. 인삼을 비롯한 식물성 식이보충제들이 사회 내의 담론 충돌 속에서도 식품 통제에 엄격한 미군의 식이보충제 매뉴얼에까지 진출할 수 있었던 것은 미국 내의 이러한 분위기에 편승한 것으로 보인다. 본문에서 살펴본 미군의 초창기 식이보충제 매뉴얼에서 인삼은 여러 식물성 식이보충제 가운데 가장 자세하게 다뤄지고 있었다. 물론 그 속에는 사회 내에 존재하는 '안전성에 대한 우려'도 다소 섞여있었지만, 효능에 대한 충실한 과학적인 설명이나 인삼의 미국 사회 내 성행과 영향력에 대한 언급도 분명히 함께 이뤄지고 있다. 이런 점을 고려할 때 '식이보충제로서의 인삼'에 대한 미국 사회의, 그리고 미국 군 내부의 관심은 상당히 높다고 볼 수 있다.

사경은 표지화(表紙畫), 변상도(變相圖), 경문(經文)으로 구성되지만 여러 요인으로 인해 일부가 소실되기도 한다. 특히 권말(卷末) 혹은 권수(卷首) 부분의 사성기(寫成記)에는 사경의 조성 시기와 발원자 정보가 기록되어 있는데 확인이 어려운 경우 기년작과의 양식 비교를 통해 편년을 추정한다. 보물 제978호 <백지금니대방광불화엄경(白紙金泥大方廣佛華嚴經) 권(卷)29>(이하 <백지금니화엄경 권29>)은 사성기가 소실된 사경으로, 양식 비교를 통해 조선 초에 조성된 것으로 소개되고 있다. 시기 추정의 중요한 근거가 되는 것은 서체와 변상도 표현 일부이지만 이는 조선 초 사경 일부에서만 확인되어 시기를 대표하는 특징으로 말하기 어렵다. 또한 이와 유사한 양식은 고려 말 사경에서도 확인되는데 서체를 제외한 표지화, 변상도의 표현이 1350년 전후의 작례와 유사하다. 고려 말 사경은 세밀하고 사실적인 표현이 시간이 지남에 따라 점차 형식화, 도식화되는 양상을 보이며 이런 흐름은 조선 초로 이어진다. <백지금니화엄경 권29>는 변화의 전후 표현을 모두 확인할 수 있으며 표지화의 마엽문(麻葉文)과 변상도 사주(四周)의 경우 다른 사경에서는 확인되지 않는 독특한 표현으로 주목된다. 한편 <대방광불화엄경(大方廣佛華嚴經) 권(卷)26>(이하 <백지금니화엄경 권26>)은 지금까지 연구에서 소개되지 않은 사경으로 표지화, 변상도, 경문이 모두 온전하게 남아있다. 이 사경은 <백지금니화엄경 권29>과 크기, 구성, 세부 표현까지 모두 동일하여 조성 시기, 발원자(發願者)가 동일한 것으로 추정된다. 권말에 남아 있는 사성기에는 1348년 기철(奇轍)(?~1356)의 발원으로 조성된 것으로 기록되어 있으며 양식을 통한 편년 추정 시기와도 일치한다. <백지금니화엄경 권29>은 사성기가 소실되었기 때문에 조성 시기를 추정할 수밖에 없지만 지금까지 알려진 조선 초가 아닌 고려 말에 조성된 것은 분명하다. 그리고 <백지금니화엄경 권26>을 통해 두 사경은 고려 1348년 표현이 변화하는 시기에 수준 높은 장인에 의해 조성된 사경임을 다시 한번 확인할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to get the basic information for promoting farm machinery productivity by surveying the regular maintenance and repair status of major farm machinery such as power tiller, farm tractor, rice transplanter and combine harvester. The survey was carried out through 9 provinces including Cheju province by direct visiting farmers with prepared questionnaire. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : 1. The average farming carrier of the surveyed farmers was 25.3 years, and 21-30 years of farming carrier showed the highest portion as 40.7%. The average carrier of using farm machinery was 9.4 years, and that was 14.9 years for power tiller, 8.3 years for farm tractor, 9.0 years for rice transplanter, 7.9 years for combine harvester, 7.5 years for mini tiller, 9.7 years for power sprayer, and 8.2 years for binder etc. 2. The regular maintenance for farm machinery was conducted mainly at repair shop (49.5%) or dealer agency (12.0%) as 61.5%, and 34.9% of farmers conducted the regular maintenance by themselves at their house. 3. The reasons for not-fully recognizing operation manual and insufficient before-, during-, after-maintenance of farm machinery were insufficient time for them (45.8%), troublesome (22.9%), unknown maintenance method (16.3%), unknown the necessity for maintenance (12.4%), and others (2.6%) in order. 4. For the annual exchange of engine oil, 3.2 times is necessary but actually 1.7 times was exchanged for power tiller, 4.3 times is necessary but actually 1.9 times was exchanged for farm tractor, 2.7 times is necessary but actually 1.7 times was exchanged for rice transplanter, 2.2 times is necessary but actually 2.3 times was exchanged combine harvester. 5. For the annual cleanness or exchange of fuel filter, 3.2 times is necessary but actually 1.1 times was done for power tiller, 4.3 times is necessary but actually 1.6 times was done for farm tractor, 2.7 times is necessary but actually 1.7 times was done for rice transplanter, 1.9 times is necessary but actually 0.8 times was done for combine harvester. 6. For the annual cleanness or exchange of air filter, 3.2 times is necessary but actually 1.4 times was done for power tiller, 4.2 times is necessary but actually 2.4 times was done for farm tractor, 2.6 times is necessary but actually 1.6 times was done for rice transplanter, 3.9 times is necessary but actually 7.0 times was done for combine harvester. 7. For the experience of breakdown related to maintenance, 5.3% of farmers experienced breakdown due to the insufficient exchange of engine oil, 7.7% of farmers experienced breakdown due to the insufficient cleanness or exchange of fuel filter, and 2.9% of farmers experienced breakdown due to the insufficient cleanness or exchange of air filter. 8. Most farmers (76.1%) recognized the necessity for agricultural machinery training or education, and most farmers preferred about one week for the training period, simple or ease maintenance for the training level, agricultural technical center or agricultural machinery manufacturer for the training agency. 9. Complete recognition of operation manual and sufficient before-, during-, and after-maintenance for farm machinery can minimize the breakdown as well as conduct suitable period farming, enlarge the endurance, prevent the safety accidents, and promote productivity of farm machinery. Therefore, these can be accomplished by the thorough training or education for agricultural machinery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

제조업체와 유통업체의 판매촉진 구사가 증가하면서 이들 사이의 바람직한 판매촉진 비용 분담 방식에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 특히 유통업체 점포를 방문하는 소비자의 비계획구매 요소는 유통업체에게 명시적 잉여를 제공하지만 제조업체에게는 그렇지 않다는 점에서 이를 고려한 판매촉진 비용 분담의 방향 제시가 필요한 것이 현실이다. 문제는 유통업체 방문 소비자의 점포내 비계획구매 요소가 있을 때 제조업체가 어떻게 대응해야 하는지에 대해서는 충분한 설명이 이루어지지 못하고 있다는 점이다. 이러한 문제의식에서 본 연구에서는 유통업체 점포내 비계획구매 요소가 있을 때 제조업체가 구체적으로 공동 판매촉진 행동을 어떻게 전개해야 하는지 조명하고 있다. 본 연구의 주요결과는 다음과 같다: (1) 유통업체 점포 방문 소비자의 비계획구매 수준이 증가할수록 채널 전체의 판매촉진 수준은 높아지고, 제조업체의 비용 분담액도 커진다. (2) 유통업체 점포 방문 소비자의 비계획구매 수준이 증가할수록 채널 전체 판매촉진 비용 중에서 제조업체의 판매촉진 비용 분담 비중은 낮아지고, 유통업체의 판매촉진 비용 분담 비중은 높아진다. (3) 제조업체 이익은 유통업체 점포 방문 소비자의 비계획구매 수준인 b의 증가함수이다. (4) 유통업체가 소비자의 비계획구매 대상 제품을 조달하는데 소요되는 비용 수준이 증가할수록 유통업체 점포 방문 소비자의 비계획구매 수준 증가에 따른 채널 전체의 판매촉진 수준 증가 정도, 제조업체의 판매촉진 비용 분담액 증가 정도, 유통업체의 판매촉진 비용 분담 비중 증가 정도, 제조업체 이윤 증가 정도가 낮아진다.
