본고는 시대와 사회에 따라 의미를 달리해 온 소녀가 최근 포스트휴먼 상상력과 결합하여 영화 속 싸우는 소녀로 등장한 현상에 주목하였다. 이에 포스트휴먼 소녀라는 이미지를 배태한 사회적 맥락과 그 재현 양상을 분석하고, 미래 여성 신체에 대한 한국 사회의 상상의 허용치와 '싸우는 기술증강 소녀'라는 새로운 이미지를 둘러싼 의미경합을 밝히고자 하였다. 21세기 고도로 발달한 디지털 영상기술로 인하여 영화는 기존의 상상만으로 가능했던 미래 존재를 시각적으로 구현할 수 있게 되었다. 그러나 성인 남녀와 달리 미성숙하다고 여겨진 소녀가 포스트휴먼으로 상상될 때에는 오히려 강한 실감효과를 추구하는 그 가능성으로 인해 감히 재현할 수 없는 불가능한 영역이 생기게 된다. 즉, 포스트휴먼 소녀는 인간의 원형을 최대한 보존한 신체증강형에 그쳤으며, 인간과 비인간의 경계를 탈하는 비판적 형상화를 구현하지는 못했다. 그러나 기술로 증강된 미래 신체는 에로틱한 폭력에 기대지 않는, 또한 모성애와 이성애에 매몰되지 않는 싸우는 위험한 소녀의 이미지를 만들었다. 물론 인간의 순수한 프로토타입에 근거한 포스트휴먼 소녀의 이상화는 기술의 인간화를 확신하는 기술도구주의에 경도되어 있다. 근대적 휴머니즘에 영합하는 이러한 기술 사유의 한계에도 불구하고, 포스트휴먼 소녀는 자기 파괴적 대항을 통해 기술-객체의 새로운 정치성을 보여준다. 이들은 테크노크라시와 신자유주의 정치적 감수성을 표출한 우울한 신체에서 벗어나 있으며, 생명 정치의 위계에 균열을 내는 체제전복적 행위를 구사했다. 포스트휴먼은 한 사회가 고도화된 기술시대로 이행하는 과정 중에 일어나는 다양한 힘들의 경합을 예시하는 하나의 사례로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 점에서 한국 영화 속 포스트휴먼 소녀는 여전히 이상화된 소녀 이미지를 고수하려는 인간형상중심주의를 예증하지만, 미시사회적 수준까지 침투한 기술생명권력의 폭압적 지배방식에 윤리적 고찰을 제공했다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

We frequently use search engines to find relevant information in the Web but still end up with too much information. In order to solve this problem of information overload, ranking algorithms have been applied to various domains. As more information will be available in the future, effectively and efficiently ranking search results will become more critical. In this paper, we propose a ranking algorithm for the Semantic Web resources, specifically RDF resources. Traditionally, the importance of a particular Web page is estimated based on the number of key words found in the page, which is subject to manipulation. In contrast, link analysis methods such as Google's PageRank capitalize on the information which is inherent in the link structure of the Web graph. PageRank considers a certain page highly important if it is referred to by many other pages. The degree of the importance also increases if the importance of the referring pages is high. Kleinberg's algorithm is another link-structure based ranking algorithm for Web pages. Unlike PageRank, Kleinberg's algorithm utilizes two kinds of scores: the authority score and the hub score. If a page has a high authority score, it is an authority on a given topic and many pages refer to it. A page with a high hub score links to many authoritative pages. As mentioned above, the link-structure based ranking method has been playing an essential role in World Wide Web(WWW), and nowadays, many people recognize the effectiveness and efficiency of it. On the other hand, as Resource Description Framework(RDF) data model forms the foundation of the Semantic Web, any information in the Semantic Web can be expressed with RDF graph, making the ranking algorithm for RDF knowledge bases greatly important. The RDF graph consists of nodes and directional links similar to the Web graph. As a result, the link-structure based ranking method seems to be highly applicable to ranking the Semantic Web resources. However, the information space of the Semantic Web is more complex than that of WWW. For instance, WWW can be considered as one huge class, i.e., a collection of Web pages, which has only a recursive property, i.e., a 'refers to' property corresponding to the hyperlinks. However, the Semantic Web encompasses various kinds of classes and properties, and consequently, ranking methods used in WWW should be modified to reflect the complexity of the information space in the Semantic Web. Previous research addressed the ranking problem of query results retrieved from RDF knowledge bases. Mukherjea and Bamba modified Kleinberg's algorithm in order to apply their algorithm to rank the Semantic Web resources. They defined the objectivity score and the subjectivity score of a resource, which correspond to the authority score and the hub score of Kleinberg's, respectively. They concentrated on the diversity of properties and introduced property weights to control the influence of a resource on another resource depending on the characteristic of the property linking the two resources. A node with a high objectivity score becomes the object of many RDF triples, and a node with a high subjectivity score becomes the subject of many RDF triples. They developed several kinds of Semantic Web systems in order to validate their technique and showed some experimental results verifying the applicability of their method to the Semantic Web. Despite their efforts, however, there remained some limitations which they reported in their paper. First, their algorithm is useful only when a Semantic Web system represents most of the knowledge pertaining to a certain domain. In other words, the ratio of links to nodes should be high, or overall resources should be described in detail, to a certain degree for their algorithm to properly work. Second, a Tightly-Knit Community(TKC) effect, the phenomenon that pages which are less important but yet densely connected have higher scores than the ones that are more important but sparsely connected, remains as problematic. Third, a resource may have a high score, not because it is actually important, but simply because it is very common and as a consequence it has many links pointing to it. In this paper, we examine such ranking problems from a novel perspective and propose a new algorithm which can solve the problems under the previous studies. Our proposed method is based on a class-oriented approach. In contrast to the predicate-oriented approach entertained by the previous research, a user, under our approach, determines the weights of a property by comparing its relative significance to the other properties when evaluating the importance of resources in a specific class. This approach stems from the idea that most queries are supposed to find resources belonging to the same class in the Semantic Web, which consists of many heterogeneous classes in RDF Schema. This approach closely reflects the way that people, in the real world, evaluate something, and will turn out to be superior to the predicate-oriented approach for the Semantic Web. Our proposed algorithm can resolve the TKC(Tightly Knit Community) effect, and further can shed lights on other limitations posed by the previous research. In addition, we propose two ways to incorporate data-type properties which have not been employed even in the case when they have some significance on the resource importance. We designed an experiment to show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm and the validity of ranking results, which was not tried ever in previous research. We also conducted a comprehensive mathematical analysis, which was overlooked in previous research. The mathematical analysis enabled us to simplify the calculation procedure. Finally, we summarize our experimental results and discuss further research issues.

용(龍)은 동서양 전설 신화에 등장하는 상상 속 동물이다. 서양의 용은 대부분 공격적이고 부정적 의미로 표현되지만, 동양에서는 황제를 상징하거나 상서로운 의미를 갖고 있어 긍정적 의미를 내포한다. 또한 용은 물을 다스리는 신물(神物)로 여겨져 그 종류가 다양해지고 이를 형상으로 표현하고자 했다. 고려시대 용과 관련된 기록은 "고려사"에서 다양한 주제로 등장하며, 크게 건국설화 기우제 신이(神異) 등과 관련되어 있다. 건국설화는 용을 통해 고려 왕권의 당위성을 강조하기 위한 것으로 '왕(王)=용손(龍孫)'이라는 '용손의식(龍孫意識)' 형성에 영향을 끼친다. 또한 용의 특징인 물을 다스리는 능력은 가뭄에 비를 바라는 기우제와 관련한 토용(土龍)으로 상징화된다. 이와 같은 용의 다양한 성격 중 용이 왕실의 상징이기에 용문(龍紋)의 사용은 민간에서 엄격히 제한되었으며, 용을 소재로 한 용문경(龍紋鏡) 역시 그 제작 사용에 있어 왕실과의 연관성을 배제하기 어렵다. 고려시대 쌍룡문경(雙龍紋鏡)은 종류 수량이 많은 편으로 중국에서 유입된 동경(銅鏡)과 함께 국내에서 제작한 쌍룡문경이 혼재하면서 고려시대 쌍룡문경의 제작과 유통은 다른 동경에 비해 활발했던 것으로 보인다. 이에 대해 본고에서는 10~14세기 중국에 존재한 다양한 쌍룡문경의 특징을 정리했다. 고려의 장인들은 쌍룡문경을 제작할 때 중국 쌍룡문경의 문양 구성에서 큰 영향을 받은 것으로 보인다. 이는 중국 쌍룡문경과 국적을 판별하기 어려운 예가 많으며, 그 차이 또한 면밀한 분석을 요하기 때문이다. 하지만 고려는 유입된 쌍룡문경을 그대로 답습했던 것은 아니며, 자체적으로 제작하고자 했음을 국내 현존하는 쌍룡문경의 유형 분류를 통해 살펴보았다. 세 가지 유형으로 나뉘는 쌍룡문경은 요대(遼代) 동경 계열인 I 유형이 가장 큰 비중을 차지하며, 그 외 II III 유형에서는 수량은 적으나 문양 구성이 독특한 쌍룡문경이 있어 고려에서 제작한 쌍룡문경으로 분석했다. 고려시대 쌍룡문경은 중국의 영향 하에서 제작된 만큼 고려에서 제작한 동경과의 구분이 어렵다는 점을 앞서 언급했다. 이중 평창 월정사 구층석탑에서 발견된 쌍룡문경은 그 제작지에 대한 의문점이 있으며, 동경의 문양 구성도 중국 쌍룡문경에서 찾아볼 수 없는 예이기에 이 동경에 대한 제작지를 검토했다. 이 쌍룡문경은 I 유형에 속하는 동경의 문양 구성을 갖추고 있으면서도 세부 문양의 조합이 중국에서 찾기 힘든 예라는 점에서 요대 동경의 문양 구성을 차용하여 고려에서 제작된 것임을 알 수 있었다.

호남지역은 일제강점기부터 현재까지 한일 고고 고대사학 연구자 사이에서 항상 큰 관심을 받았던 지역이다. 근래 이 지역에서 왜계 고고자료 발견 사례가 양적 질적으로 급증하고 있기 때문에 선행 연구와 견해를 재검토할 필요가 커지고 있다. 전방후원형 고분은 기존에 13기로 알려졌지만 최근 발견 사례가 17기까지 증가했다. 한 곳에서 3기가 조영된 사실도 새롭게 밝혀졌으며, 또 일본의 고분시대(古墳時代)를 특징짓는 형상식윤(形象埴輪)이 처음으로 발견됐다. 호남지역 출토 왜계 고고자료에 대한 선행연구는 특정 자료나 특정 유적 유구에 한정된 사례가 많았다. 본고에서는 호남의 모든 왜계 고고자료를 대상으로 수량 고고자료의 종류 출토 위치를 파악한 후 그 변천을 추적하였다. 시기별 특징이나 변화상 등을 바탕으로 왜와 마한세력의 관계 의도 동향을 문헌 자료 등과 관련시켜 검토하였다. 호남지역 출토 왜계 고고자료는 5세기 전엽부터 증가 및 광범위한 분포를 보여주며 7세기 초까지 이어졌다. 4세기 말~5세기 전엽에는 왜계 무구와 왜계 매장주체부, 5세기 중엽~후엽에는 수혜기(須惠器)(계(系)), 5세기 말~6세기 전엽에는 전방후원형 고분과 왜계 횡혈식석실, 6세기 중엽~7세기 초에는 왜계 무구 석침이 중심을 이루어 시기마다 양상이 변화했음을 알 수 있었다. 4세기 말~5세기 전엽의 왜계 고고자료에 대해서는 이 시기에 집중된 백제와 왜의 왕래 기사를 근거로 외교 사절단을 수행했을 무인계층과의 관련성을 상정했다. 5세기 중엽~후엽에는 수혜기(須惠器)(계(系)) 토기가 호남 내륙부로 확산되었다. 물자의 집적에 유리한 지점에서 주로 출토되는 경향이 엿보인다. 전방후원형 고분의 피장자를 북구주(北九州) 제세력에 속한 왜인을 중심으로 한 교역자 집단으로 해석했다. 전방후원형 고분은 대체로 기본적으로 기존 수장묘가 조영되지 않던 지역에서 특별한 세력 기반 없이 돌연 출현했다. 그러나 재지인의 협조 없이 전방후원형 고분을 축조하기란 불가능했을 것이다. 이는 일본 현지와 호남지역 전방후원형 고분의 구축 기술 차이를 보아도 알 수 있다. 한편 일부 전방후원형 고분은 재지 수장묘와 동시기 아니면 직후에 조영되었다는 점에서 재지 집단과의 밀접한 관련성을 추정할 수 있다. 5세기 초 금관가야가 몰락하자 왜 제국(諸國)은 새로운 교섭 상대로 호남지역을 선택하였다. 그 배경에는 왜에서 구하기 어려운 (지하)자원이나 물자를 확보해야 할 절실한 필요가 있었을 것이다. 약 200년에 걸쳐서 사용되고 매장된 호남지역의 왜계 고고자료는 왜인의 다양한 교섭 노력과 관련된 것으로 판단된다.

오늘날 항공운송은 국가 간 인적 물적 교류를 위한 최적화된 운송 수단이다. 우리나라는 물론 세계 각국은 효율적인 항공운송을 이용하기 위해 국제항공협정을 체결하여 항공사 노선확장과 운항횟수의 증가 등을 이룩하였지만 동전의 양면처럼 항공운송 사고의 발생가능성도 높아졌다. 항공운송 사고의 발생 빈도는 타교통수단 사고와 비교하였을 때 높지는 않아도 항공사고가 발생하면 대형 참사로 이어진다. 항공운송 사고는 국내 운송사고보다 국제 운송사고가 많으며, 사고가 발생하였을 경우에 항공운송인과 여객 또는 송하인 등의 법적 책임에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 항공운송 사고의 법적 규율에 대한 선순위 판단은 항공운송계약의 종류의 구분이다. 항공운송계약은 객체에 따라 항공여객운송계약과 항공물건운송계약으로 분별된다. 특히 항공여객운송 사고는 인명 피해를 발생시키기 때문에 이에 대한 법적 규율에 대한 논의가 더욱 필요하다. 개정 "상법" 항공운송편은 국제항공운송에서 세계적으로 활용되는 조약들의 내용을 우리 실정에 맞게 반영하여 국제적 기준에 맞으면서 체계상으로도 육상 해상 항공 운송을 포괄하는 특징을 갖고 있다. 그러나 "상법"은 운송계약상 항공운송인의 손해배상책임 문제를 규율하는 몬트리올협약을 주로 반영하면서 동 협약이 가지고 있던 문제로 인하여 국내 상황에 맞게 변형 및 생략을 통해 동 협약의 규정을 수용함으로 인해 발생하는 문제들도 생겨나게 되었다. 특히 여객 손해에 대한 손해배상책임의 발생 원인으로서 사고의 개념은 판례의 해석이 반영된 관련 조약과 "상법"에서 어느 정도 명확한 개념 정의가 필요하다고 할 것이다. "상법" 항공운송편의 모법인 몬트리올 협약은 여객의 사망 또는 신체상해의 원인이 된 사고가 '항공기상에서' 또는 '승강을 위한 작업 중' 발생한 경우에 항공운송인의 손해배상책임에 대하여 규정하고 있으며 이는 바르샤바 협약부터 이를 개정한 전 협약에 걸쳐 동일하게 규정되었고 '사고'의 개념 및 '승강을 위한 작업 중'의 범위와 관련하여 지금까지 논란이 계속되고 있는 중이다. 또한 손해배상의 대상 범주인 여객 손해 중 '신체상해'에 여객이 항공운송 중에 입은 정신적 손해를 포함시킬 수 있는지 여부를 두고 논쟁 중이다. 현행법상 신체적 상해의 경우 특정 상황에서 정신적 손해에 대한 배상이 가능하고 항공사고로 인한 발생한 정신적 손해는 중대한 신체적 상해와 같이 피해자로 하여금 정상적인 생활을 할 수 없게 할 만큼 심각한 피해이다. 그래서 여객의 정신적 손해는 관련 조약이나 "상법"상 신체적 상해에 포함하는 것으로 해석할 필요가 있으며 항공운송인의 합리적인 보호와 남소의 예방 측면에서 명백히 증명될 수 있는 정신적 손해만을 배상하여야 할 것이다. 연착 손해의 배상은 바르샤바 협약, 몬트리올 협약, "상법"은 여객 수하물 및 운송물의 연착으로 인한 항공운송인의 손해배상책임 규정은 있지만 연착에 대한 언급을 하고 있지 않기 때문에 연착에 대한 개념 정리가 필요하다. 연착의 개념에 대한 엄격한 해석은 항공운송인의 안전한 운항을 저해할 소지가 있으므로 여객 수하물 또는 운송물이 항공운송계약에 명시된 도착 예정인 공항에 합의된 시간 내에 또는 이러한 합의가 없을 경우 당해 상황을 고려해 선의의 운송인에게 요구할 수 있는 합리적인 시간 내에 도착 또는 인도되지 아니한 경우를 말한다와 같이 정의하는 것이 옳다고 생각한다. 항공사 약관의 손해는 여객 손해는 대한항공의 국제여객운송약관에 의하면 협약이나 기타 법령에서 정하는 경우 이외에 해당하는 항공운송이나 대한항공이 행하는 서비스로부터 여객에게 발생한 손해는 대한항공이 원칙적으로 책임을 부담하지 않고 대한 항공의 태만 또는 고의적인 과실에 기인하여 발생하였다는 사실이 증명되고 동 손해에 여객의 과실이 개재되지 않았다는 점이 판명된 경우에만 책임을 부담한다. 협약 또는 법령에서 정하지 않은 손해의 경우에는 항공사 측의 과실이 증명된 경우에만 책임을 부담한다는 조항인데 대한항공 약관상 '태만' 또는 '고의적인 과실'이라는 용어의 적합성에 대한 판단이 필요하며 중과실이라고 함이 타당하다고 생각된다. 수하물 손해는 대한항공 국제여객운송약관은 여객의 위탁수하물에 포함되어 있는 전자제품 등의 손상 또는 인도의 지연에 대하여 대한항공은 사실을 알고 있는지 여부에 관계없이 책임을 부담하지 않지만 미국을 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 운송의 경우에는 그렇지 않다. 따라서 미국을 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 여객을 다른 나라에 출발 또는 도착하는 국제선 여객을 불합리하게 차별하는 것으로 조약의 내용과 동일하게 물품에 대하여 항공사가 책임을 부담하는 방향으로 개정되어야 할 것이다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

본연구(本硏究)에서는 연구(硏究)의 대상(對象)을 저습답(低濕畓)에 두기보다는 지하수위(地下水位)가 낮은 점질토(粘質土)의 건답(乾畓)에 두고 이 점질토(粘質土)논에 대(對)한 수잉전(移秧前)의 처리(處理)에 있어서 심경(深耕)을 한 것 답면(畓面)을 건조(乾燥)시켜 구열발달(龜裂發達)을 기(期)하게한 것 및 암거(暗渠)가 설치(設置)된 곳에서의 답면(畓面)을 건조(乾燥)시켜 구열발달(龜裂發達)을 기(期)하게 한 것 중에서 어떤 처리방법(處理方法)을 적용(適用)한 것이 뿌리신장(伸長)이 심층화(深層化)되여 벼의 수량(收量)을 높일 수 있고 동시(同時)에 지하배수기능(地下排水機能)이 제대로 발휘(發揮)되여 수확작업(收穫作業)에 대형기계(大型機械)를 도입(導入)하였을 때 농업기계(農業機械)의 주행성면(走行性面)에서 유리(有利)한가를 발견(發見)코저 한 것이다. 그래서 시험구처리(試驗區處理)에 있어서는 (1)이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 경운(耕耘)하여 풍건(風乾)시킨 것(경운구(區)) (2) 이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 경운(耕耘)하여 물로 포화(飽和)시켜 쓰린후(後) 구열(龜裂)을 발생(發生)시켜 이앙(移秧) 2일전(日前)에 15cm 깊이로 경운(耕耘)한 것(균열구(區)) (3) 이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 암거설치(暗渠設置)와 동시(同時)에 경운(耕耘)하여 물로 포화(飽和)시켜 쓰린후(後) 구열(龜裂)을 발생(發生)시켜 이앙(移秧) 2일전(日前)에 15cm 깊이로 경운(耕耘)한 것(균암구(區))의 3요인(要因)에 15cm. 25cm, 35cm 깊이의 3수준(水準)으로 하고 15cm 깊이 경운구(區)를 Control구(區)로 정(定)하였는데 이에 의(依)하여 얻은 시험결과(試驗結果)는 대략(大略) 다음과 같이 요약(要約)될 수 있다. 1. 소비수량(消費數量)은 균암구(區)에 있어서는 경운구(區) 및 균열구(區)보다도 소비수량(消費水量)을 나타냈다. 따라서 유효우량은 균암구(區)에서 가장 크고 경운구(區), 균열구(區)의 순(順)으로 작은값을 나타냈고 순용수량(純用水量)에 있어서는 여전(如前)히 균암구(區), 경운구(區), 균열구(區)의 순(順)으로 작어저 균암구(區)가 가장 큰 양(量)을 나타냈다. 심도(深度)에 불구(不拘)하고 순용수량(純用水量)의 크기는 균암구(區)에서 105cm 내외(內外), 경운구(區)에서 70cm 내외(內外), 균열구(區)에서는 45cm 내외(內外)를 나타냈다. 2. 뿌리중량(重量)이 구열최대심도(龜裂最大深度)에 예민(銳敏)하게 영향(影響)을 받고 있는 경향(傾向)으로 미루어 볼 때 뿌리 발달(發達)은 답면상(畓面上)의 구열(龜裂)에 의(依)하기 보다는 구열심도(龜裂深度)에 더 큰 영향(影響)을 받는 것으로 되어 있다. 따라서 깊은구(區)일수록 뿌리중량(重量)은 커지는 경향(傾向)을 가졌고 처리간(處理間)에는 균열구(區), 균암구(區), 경운구(區) 순(順)으로 증대(增大)하는 경향(傾向)을 가졌다. 3. 초장(草丈)의 신장(伸長)에 있어서는 어느구(區)를 막론(莫論)하고 생육초기(生育初期)(분얼최성기(分얼最盛期))에는 별(別)로 차이(差異)를 발견(發見)할 수 없으나 생육중기(生育中期)(분얼종료기(分얼終了期)부터 유수형성기(幼穗形成期) 사이에서는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 그 성장(成長)이 떨어지고 생육후기(生育後期)(수잉기)(穗잉期)에 접어들면서 부터는 도리여 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)가 얕은구(區)보다 더 왕성(旺盛)한 신장(伸長)을 하였다. 이것은 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로 볼 때 생육중기(生育中期) 이후(以後) 균열구(區)는 어느 다른 구(區)보다 떨어지고 균암구(區)와 경운구(區) 간(間)에는 별차이(別差異)는 없으나 균암구(區)가 여간(與干) 초장신장(草丈伸長)이 우세(優勢)한 경향(傾向)을 나타냈다. 4. 경수(數)에 있어서는 전생육기간(全生育期間)을 통(通)하여 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 그 수(數)가 적어지는 경향(傾向)을 나타냈고 이것을 시험처별(試驗處別)로 볼 때 균열구(區)는 늘 균암구(區)와 경운구(區)보다 떨어졌으며 또 경운구(區)는 균암구(區)보다 약간(若干) 우세(優勢)한 경향(傾向)을 나타냈다. 5. 수량(收量)(조곡중)(租穀重))에 있어서는 시험처리별(試驗處理別) 각(各) 시험구(試驗區)의 수량(收量)을 Control 구(區) 15-경운구(區)와 대비(對比)할 때 35-경운구(區)에 있어서는 17%, 35-암거구(區)에 있어서는 10% 기타구(其他區)에 있어서는 모두 Control구(區)와 같거나 떨어졌다. 그리고 전체적(全體的)으로 볼 때 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 수량(收量)은 증가(增加)하였고 경운구(龜)는 균암구(區)보다, 균암구(區)는 균열구(區)보다 수량(收量)이 높았으며 심도구(深度區)에는 1%의 유의성시험처리(有意性試驗處理)에는 5%의 유의성(有意性)이 존재(存在)하였다. 6. 조곡중(粗穀重)에 더 많은 영향(影響)을 주는 감수심(減水深)은 후기감수심(後期減水深)이며 15cm 구(區)에서는 2.7cm/day 이내(以內)에서 25cm 구(區)에서는 3.0cm/day 이내(以內)에서 35cm 구(區)에서는 3.3cm/day이내(以內)의 범위(範圍)에서 감수심(減水深)이 증대(增大)하면 조곡중(粗穀重) 증대(增大)하였고 동시(同時)에 동일감수심(同一減水深)에서는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區) 일수록 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하였다. 따라서 동일감수심도(同一減水深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 수량면(收量面)에서 유리(有利)함을 암시(暗示)하고 있다. 7. 뿌리중량(重量)에서 비례(比例)하여 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하였으며 벼뿌리중량(重量)이 동일(同一)할때는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하는 경향(傾向)을 보여주고 있다. 또 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로 볼 때는 벼뿌리 중량(重量)은 균열구(區), 균암구(區), 경운구(區)의 순(順)으로 컸고 따라서 조곡중(粗穀重)도 역시(亦是) 같은 순(順)으로 컸다. 그리고 조곡중(粗穀重)은 중간낙수기간(中間落水期間)의 최소함수비(最少含水比)와 그때의 평균지온(平均地溫)에 관계(關係)되나 함수비(含水比)가 40%이하(以下)에서는 평균지온(平均地溫)은 함수비(含水比)에 비례(比例)하여 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이 있음으로 주(主)로 최소함수비(最小含水比)에 영향(影響)을 받는바가 크다. 8. 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)는 심도(深度)가 얕은구(區)일수록 커지는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 또 벼뿌리중량(重量)에 역지수함수적(逆指數函數的)으로 증대(增大)하였다. 또 같은 심도(深度)의 구(區)에서는 15cm 구(區)를 제외(除外)하고는 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)는 감수심(減水深)에 비례(比例)하여 증대(增大)하였다. 감수심(減水深)이 어느 한도(限度)까지 증대(增大)됨에 따라 조곡중(租穀重)이 증대(增大)하지만 동시(同時)에 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)도 증대(增大)함을 보여주고 있다. 9. 동일토성(同一土性)에서 구열량(龜裂量)은 기상조건(氣象條件) 특(特)히 증발량(蒸發量)의 증대(增大)에 따라 증대(增大)하며 답면건조도중(畓面乾燥途中)에 강우(降雨)가 있으면 답면구열량(畓面龜裂量)은 현저(顯著)히 감소(減小)한다. 점질토(粘質土)의 구열량(龜裂量)은 대체(大體)로 함수비(含水比)가 25% 이상(以上)에서는 함량비(含量比)에 역지수적(逆指數的)으로 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 구열(龜裂)의 최대(最大) 심도(深度)는 31% 이하(以下)의 함수비(含水比)에서는 일정(一定)한 값을 유지(維持)하는 경향(傾向)이있다. 10. Cone 지수(指數)는 어느 한도(限度)까지는 구열량(龜裂量)에 비례(比例)하는 경향(傾向)이있으나 구열량(龜裂量)이 어느 한도(限度)를 넘으면 약간(若干) 구열량(龜裂量)에 역비례(逆比例)하는 경향(傾向)을 보여주고 있다. 그 한도(限度)의 함수비(含水比)는 25% 근처가 될 것이다. 11. 최종낙수후 (最終落水後)의 Cone 지수(指數)의 경시적(經時的) 증대(增大)는 생육후기(生育後期)의 감수심(減水深)에 비례(比例)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 동일감수심(同一減水深)에서 균암구(區)는 다른 두 구(區)보다 큰Cone지수(指數)를 나타냈고 경운구(區)는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 균열구(區)보다 작은 Cone 지수(指數)를 나타냈는데 특(特)히 35-경운구(區) Cone의 지수(指數)는 현저(顯著)하게 작은 값을 나타냈다. 12. 최종낙수후(最終落水後)의 답면건조(畓面乾燥)에 있어서는 함수비(含水比)의 감소상황(減少狀況) 및 Cone 지수(指數)의 증대상황(增大狀況)에 비추어 볼 때 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로는 균암구(區)가 다른 두 구(區)보다 밟르고 경운구(區)는 가장 늦어지고 심도(深度)가 깊은 구(區)에서는 더욱 늦어지고 있다. 농업기계(農業 機械)의 주행(走行)에 지장(支障)을 가져오지 않을 정도(程度)의 Cone 지수(指數)($2.5kg/cm^2$)로 답면건조(畓面乾燥)를 시키자면 최종낙수시기(最終落水時期)를 잡는 시기(時期) 및 낙수기간(落水期間)동안의 강우(降雨)의 유무(有無)에 따라 다르게지만 강우(降雨)가 전혀 없다면 누계계기증발량(累計計器蒸發量)을 기준(基準)으로 잡을 때 균암구(區)에서는 누계계기증발량(累計計器蒸發量)으로 약(約) 44mm가 필요(必要)하고 기타구(其他區)에서는 50mm 이상(以上)이 필요(必要)하게 됨으로 균암구(區)에서의 답면건조진행(畓面乾燥進行)은 대체(大體)로 경운구(區), 균열구(區)보다 2일이상(日以上)이 빠르며 35-경운구(區)와 비교(比較)하면 5일(日) 이상(以上)이나 빠르게 될 것이다.
