본 연구에서는 주암호 건설에 따른 기후 요소의 변이에 따른 벼 생산성에서의 변이를 밝히기 위해 주암호 주변 6개 지역에 AWS를 설치하고 그 인근 지역에서 벼를 재배하고 생육 및 수량을 조사하였다. 조사항목은 주요 기상요소로서 일최고기온, 일최저기온, 일평균기온, 일평균상대습도, 일평균풍속, 일평균지온, 일적산일사량 그리고 일적산강우량이었고, 생육형질로는 일주일 간격으로 8~10회에 걸쳐 초장, 분얼수, 엽면적, 엽건물중, 경건물증, 그리고 수량 및 수량구성요소를 조사하였다. 기상요소의 변이와 벼 생산성의 변이간의 관계는 SIMRIW의 모수추정을 통해서 이루어졌으며 호수 생성 전과 생성 후의 기상을 30년간 시뮬레이션을 통해 추정한 다음 이 결과를 모형에 입력하여 30년간의 모형에 의한 수량을 추정하고 그 평균을 통해 호수생성에 따른 벼 생산성 변이를 추정하였다. '94년도 5개 지역 그리고 '95년도 3개 지역, 그리고 '96년도 4개 지역의 관측된 시험 성적과 SIMRIW에서 추정한 지상부 건물중, 엽면적지수 그리고 수량을 비교해 보았을 때 SIMRIW의 결과가 대체적으로 각 관측치의 평균값에 접근함을 알 수 있어 이 모형이 비교적 양호하게 기상환경의 변이에 따른 수량을 예측함을 알 수 있었다. 30년간의 simulation을 통해 얻은 담수 전과 담수 후의 기상자료를 비교해 보면 일최고기온은 담수 전이 약간 높았으나 일최저기온은 담수 후가 약간 높아서 일평균기온은 담수 후가 오히려 높은 경향을 보였고, 일적산일사량은 담수 후에 대략 0.9 MJ $d^{-1}$ 정도 낮아졌다. 이들 자료를 SIMRIW에 입력하여 수량을 예측해 본 결과 주 암호의 생성에 따라 복다-동촌-승주지역에서 5.2%, 오봉 4.9%, 이읍 9.1%, 금성 5.5%, 유정 4.8%, 다산 3.3% 정도 수량이 감소된 것으로 나타났다. 전지역을 평균하여 볼 때 담수 전이 6.82MT/ha, 담수 후가 6.44MT/ha로 전체적으로 5.6% 정도 감수한 것으로 나타났다.

(U-Th)/He 연령측정법은 자연상에 존재하는 $^{238}U$, $^{235}U$ 및 $^{232}Th$이 붕괴할 때 알파 입자($^4He$ 원자)가 형성되는 현상을 이용한 연령측정법이다. 모 동위원소인 $^{238}U$, $^{235}U$ 및 $^{232}Th$과 붕괴산물인 $^4He$의 양을 측정하여 (U-Th)/He 연령을 구할 수 있다. 이렇게 형성된 $^4He$ 원자는 대부분의 지질학적 시료내에서 비교적 저온에서도 빠르게 확산되는데, 이는 $^4He$가 불활성 기체이고 다른 원소에 비해 작기 때문이다. 따라서 방사성 붕괴에 의한 $^4He$의 형성(ingrowth)과 확산에 의한 $^4He$의 방출(diffusive loss)이 지질학적 시간동안 어떻게 진행 되었느냐에 따라 현재 남아있는 $^4He$의 양이 결정된다. 예를 들어, 인회석내에서의 He 확산은 다른 광물에 비해 빨라서, 비교적 저온인 $80^{\circ}C$에서도 He이 빠르게 인회석 밖으로 방출되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 자연상의 온도조건이 약 $40^{\circ}C$ 이하로 떨어졌을 때 비로소 인회석내 He 확산이 충분히 느려져서 대부분의 He이 인회석내에 보존된다. 따라서 (U-Th)/He 연령은 시료가 $80-40^{\circ}C$를 통과한 시기를 지시한다. 자연상에서 이러한 온도범위에 해당하는 깊이를 "부분 보존대"(partial retention zone)의라 한다. 전통적으로 흔히 쓰이는 폐쇄온도(closure temperature)는 보통의 입자크기와 냉각속도에서, 인회석 경우 약 $60-70^{\circ}C$, 저어콘 및 티탄석의 경우 약 $200^{\circ}C$로 알려져 있다. 특히 인회석의 He 폐쇄온도는 다른 열역사 측정법에 비해 다소 낮기 때문에 비교적 최근의 열역사 또는 천부에서의 지각융기 현상을 기술하는데 매우 유용하게 쓰일 수 있다.

풍탁은 한국, 중국, 일본에서 오랜 기간 사용되고 있는 불교 장엄구이다. 하지만 풍탁은 제작 시기를 추정하는 데 어려움이 있으며 유물의 수가 많지 않아 기초연구가 부족한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 미술사적 연구를 참고하여 논산 관촉사 석조미륵보살입상의 보개에 장식되어 있는 청동풍탁 8점을 형태학적으로 분류하였으며, 이에 따른 제작 기법 및 제작 시기에 대하여 과학적으로 규명하였다. 연구 결과를 종합해볼 때 보개의 위치에 따라 관촉사 석조미륵보살입상 청동풍탁은 형태 및 제작 기법의 특징이 나타났다. 대형인 하부 보개 청동풍탁 4점은 Cu-Sn-Pb 삼원계 합금을 주조 기법으로 제작하였으며, 서산 출토 동제풍탁과 형태가 매우 흡사하여 고려 전기에 조성된 것으로 확인된다. 중형인 상부 보개 북측 청동풍탁 2점은 Cu-Sn 또는 Cu-Sn-Pb 합금을 단조 기법으로 제작하였으며, 고려 후기~조선시대에 나타나는 원통형 풍탁과 형태가 유사하다. 소형인 상부 보개 남측 청동풍탁 2점은 미량의 아연(Zn)이 존재하는 것으로 판단되는 Cu-Sn-Pb 삼원계 합금을 주조 기법으로 제작하였으며, 합금 성분 및 치게의 형태 등을 통해 조선 후기에 제작된 것으로 보인다. 미세조직 관찰 및 성분 분석을 통해 하부 보개 청동풍탁 2점은 Cu:Sn:Pb≒80:15:5의 합금비를 지닌 삼원계 합금을 주조 후 서냉하여 제작하였음을 알 수 있다. 상부 보개 동북측 청동풍탁은 방짜유기와 유사한 합금비인 Cu-Sn 이원계 합금을 소재로 단조 기법으로 제작된 것으로 확인된다. 이를 국내 풍탁의 선행 연구와 비교·분석한 결과, 하부 보개 동측 청동풍탁 2점은 타명기에 적합한 주석 함유량을 지닌 고려시대에 제작된 강진 월남사지 출토 금동풍탁의 합금 조성비와 유사하게 확인된다. 방짜유기와 유사한 합금비를 지닌 상부 보개 동북측 청동풍탁은 현재까지 연구된 풍탁 중 유일하게 단조 기법으로 제작된 사례이다. 본 연구를 통해 풍탁의 제작 시기를 형태학적 특징으로 구분하는 데 있어 과학적인 근거를 통해 보다 명확하게 구분할 수 있는 기초자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

데이터 센터는 컴퓨터 시스템과 관련 구성요소를 수용하기 위한 물리적 환경시설로, 빅데이터, 인공지능 스마트 공장, 웨어러블, 스마트 홈 등 차세대 핵심 산업의 필수 기반기술이다. 특히, 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 성장으로 데이터 센터 인프라의 비례적 확장은 불가피하다. 이러한 데이터 센터 설비의 상태를 모니터링하는 것은 시스템을 유지, 관리하고 장애를 예방하기 위한 방법이다. 설비를 구성하는 일부 요소에 장애가 발생하는 경우 해당 장비뿐 아니라 연결된 다른 장비에도 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 막대한 손해를 초래할 수 있다. 특히, IT 시설은 상호의존성에 의해 불규칙하고 원인을 알기 어렵다. 데이터 센터 내 장애를 예측하는 선행연구에서는, 장치들이 혼재된 상황임을 가정하지 않고 단일 서버를 단일 상태로 보고 장애를 예측했다. 이에 본 연구에서는, 서버 내부에서 발생하는 장애(Outage A)와 서버 외부에서 발생하는 장애(Outage B)로 데이터 센터 장애를 구분하고, 서버 내에서 발생하는 복합적인 장애 분석에 중점을 두었다. 서버 외부 장애는 전력, 냉각, 사용자 실수 등인데, 이와 같은 장애는 데이터 센터 설비 구축 초기 단계에서 예방이 가능했기 때문에 다양한 솔루션이 개발되고 있는 상황이다. 반면 서버 내 발생하는 장애는 원인 규명이 어려워 아직까지 적절한 예방이 이뤄지지 못하고 있다. 특히 서버 장애가 단일적으로 발생하지 않고, 다른 서버 장애의 원인이 되기도 하고, 다른 서버부터 장애의 원인이 되는 무언가를 받기도 하는 이유다. 즉, 기존 연구들은 서버들 간 영향을 주지 않는 단일 서버인 상태로 가정하고 장애를 분석했다면, 본 연구에서는 서버들 간 영향을 준다고 가정하고 장애 발생 상태를 분석했다. 데이터 센터 내 복합 장애 상황을 정의하기 위해, 데이터 센터 내 존재하는 각 장비별로 장애가 발생한 장애 이력 데이터를 활용했다. 본 연구에서 고려되는 장애는 Network Node Down, Server Down, Windows Activation Services Down, Database Management System Service Down으로 크게 4가지이다. 각 장비별로 발생되는 장애들을 시간 순으로 정렬하고, 특정 장비에서 장애가 발생하였을 때, 발생 시점으로부터 5분 내 특정 장비에서 장애가 발생하였다면 이를 동시에 장애가 발생하였다고 정의하였다. 이렇게 동시에 장애가 발생한 장비들에 대해서 Sequence를 구성한 후, 구성한 Sequence 내에서 동시에 자주 발생하는 장비 5개를 선정하였고, 선정된 장비들이 동시에 장애가 발생된 경우를 시각화를 통해 확인하였다. 장애 분석을 위해 수집된 서버 리소스 정보는 시계열 단위이며 흐름성을 가진다는 점에서 이전 상태를 통해 다음 상태를 예측할 수 있는 딥러닝 알고리즘인 LSTM(Long Short-term Memory)을 사용했다. 또한 단일 서버와 달리 복합장애는 서버별로 장애 발생에 끼치는 수준이 다르다는 점을 감안하여 Hierarchical Attention Network 딥러닝 모델 구조를 활용했다. 본 알고리즘은 장애에 끼치는 영향이 클 수록 해당 서버에 가중치를 주어 예측 정확도를 높이는 방법이다. 연구는 장애유형을 정의하고 분석 대상을 선정하는 것으로 시작하여, 첫 번째 실험에서는 동일한 수집 데이터에 대해 단일 서버 상태와 복합 서버 상태로 가정하고 비교분석하였다. 두 번째 실험은 서버의 임계치를 각각 최적화 하여 복합 서버 상태일 때의 예측 정확도를 향상시켰다. 단일 서버와 다중 서버로 각각 가정한 첫 번째 실험에서 단일 서버로 가정한 경우 실제 장애가 발생했음에도 불구하고 5개 서버 중 3개의 서버에서는 장애가 발생하지 않은것으로 예측했다. 그러나 다중 서버로 가정했을때에는 5개 서버 모두 장애가 발생한 것으로 예측했다. 실험 결과 서버 간 영향이 있을 것이라고 추측한 가설이 입증된 것이다. 연구결과 단일 서버로 가정했을 때 보다 다중 서버로 가정했을 때 예측 성능이 우수함을 확인했다. 특히 서버별 영향이 다를것으로 가정하고 Hierarchical Attention Network 알고리즘을 적용한 것이 분석 효과를 향상시키는 역할을 했다. 또한 각 서버마다 다른 임계치를 적용함으로써 예측 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구는 원인 규명이 어려운 장애를 과거 데이터를 통해 예측 가능하게 함을 보였고, 데이터 센터의 서버 내에서 발생하는 장애를 예측할 수 있는 모델을 제시했다. 본 연구결과를 활용하여 장애 발생을 사전에 방지할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

중국 북경에서 북북동쪽으로 800 km에 위치한 길림싱의 쇼시난차 동-급 광상은 섬록암에 배태되어 있다. 쇼시난차 동-금 광상의 광석은 망상세맥상으로 산출되며, potassic 및 phyllic변질대에 농집되어 있다. 쇼시난차 동-금 광상의 남측 및 북측광체의 품위는 각각 0.8% Cu, 3.64 g/t Au 및 0.63% Cu, 3.80 g/t Au이다. 본 광상의 열수변질 작용은 암주에 집중되어 있고, 암주의 정치와 폭넓게 관련되어있는 것으로 사료된다. 초기 열수변질 작용은 K-변질작용이 지배적이며, 시간이지나면서 프로필라이트화 작용으로 전환되는 양강을 보인다. 본 광상에서는 적철석과 수반된 휘동석이 채광품위의 동을 산출하고 있으며, 황동석, 반동석, 석영, 녹염석, 녹니석 및 방해석의 광물조합이 전형적으로 관찰된다. 상기 광물조합외에 본 연구에서 인지된 기타 광물들에는 황철석, 백철석, 자연금, 에렉트럼, hessite, hedleyite, volynskite, galenobismutite, covellite및 goethite등이 있다. 유체포유물 자료에 의하면, 본 동-금 광상은 시간이 지나면서 희석되고 차가운 천수의 혼입에 의한 냉각작용의 결과로 형성되었음을 지시하고 있다. 광화시기별로 보면, 광화 2기 초기에는 약 497$^{\circ}C$에서 비등현상이 발생하고 시간이 지나면서 균질화 온도가 10$0^{\circ}C$정도 낮은 암염을 배태하고 있는 제3형 유체포유물이 포획된다. 그리고, 광화 2기 맥내 제 3형 유체포유물의 염농도는 383$^{\circ}$~459$^{\circ}C$의 균질화 온도에서 54.7~66.9 wt.%의 상당염농노에 해당되며, 1 km이하의 생성심도를 지시하고 있다 광화 3기맥의 제 1형의 함동 유체는 168$^{\circ}$~3$65^{\circ}C$의 균질화온도와 1.1~9.0 wt.% 상당 염농도를 보이며, 해당 유체포유물들은 심하게 균열된 각력암을 배태하고 있는 석영맥내에 포획되어 있다. 이는 비등증거를 강하게 지시하고 있으며 50~80 bar의 정수압에 해당된다. 본 광상의 황화물의 $\delta$$^{34}$ S 값은 후기로 가면서 미약하게 증가하는 경향을 보이며, 계산된 $\delta$$^{34}$ $S_{H2S}$값은 0.8~3.7$\textperthousand$에 해당한다. 산소분압이 감소했으리라는 광물학적 증거는 없으며, 광화유체의 산소분압은 자철석과의 반응을 통해서 완충되었으리라 사료된다. 이와같은 사실을 종합해 본 결과, 황화물이 $\delta$$^{34}$ $S_{H2S}$값은 쇼시난차 동-금 광상의 함동금 열수유체에 두 가지 정도의 황source가 병합되었으리라 추정할 수 있다. 첫번째 source는 동위원소적으로 가벼운 1~2$\textperthousand$의 $\delta$$^{34}$ S값을 지닌 광화작용과 관련된 중생대 화강암이다. 이는 본 광상지역의 모암으로서의 섬록암이 plagiogranite를 관입하고 있다는 사실로부터 추론 가능하다. 그리고, 두번째 source는 >4.0$\textperthousand$의 $\delta$$^{34}S$ 값을 지닌 동위윈소적으로 더욱 무거운 source로서, 산출이 미약하여 지질도상에는 기재되어 있지 않지만 국부적인 반암의 존재를 상정할 수 있다. 있다.

통풍과 차양이 하절기 옥외공간에서 인간이 느끼는 온열쾌적성에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 객관적으로 검증하기 위하여 통풍과 차양을 달리한 실험구를 조성하고 흑구온도와 기온 및 풍속을 측정하여 평균복사온도를 환산하여 비교 분석하였다. 미기후 측정을 위하여 개방된 잔디밭에 철제 각관을 이용하여 가로${\times}$세로${\times}$높이가 각각 $3m{\times}3m{\times}1.5m$인 프레임을 구성하고, 투명 폴리에틸렌 필름과 농업용 차광막을 이용하여 통풍과 차양의 조건을 달리한 네 가지의 실험구를 조성하였다. 각 실험구 내 중심부 지면으로부터 1.2m 높이에서 베인형 풍속계와 흑구, 측온저항체(PT-100)를 이용하여 2011년 5월 1일부터 동년 9월 30일까지 풍속과 기온, 흑구온도를 매 분 단위로 계측하였다. 기상조건과 계측자료의 유효성 등을 고려하여 총 44일 동안의 13,262건의 자료를 바탕으로 실험구별 일중 시계열적 변화를 분석하였으며, 낮 시간에 해당되는 오전 7시부터 오후 8시까지의 7,172건의 자료를 바탕으로 실험구에 따른 통계적 차이를 해석하였다. 아울러 햇볕이 가장 강렬한 시간대인 오전 11시부터 오후 4시까지의 자료를 바탕으로 평균복사온도와 풍속 및 일사량과의 관계를 분석하였다. 평균복사온도를 기준으로 해석했을 때, 통풍이 차단된 노지에서의 측정기간 중 최고값이 $58.84^{\circ}C$까지 상승한 반면, 차양이 적용되고 통풍이 원할한 실험구의 최고값은 $42.94^{\circ}C$였다. 시험결과를 종합하면, 하절기 옥외공간에서 낮 동안의 평균복사온도에 있어서 차양에 의해서는 최대 $13^{\circ}C$, 평균 $9^{\circ}C$의 냉각효과가 발생한 반면, 방풍에 의해서는 반대로 평균 약 $3^{\circ}C$의 가열효과가 있는 것으로 정리되어, 통풍이 되지 않는 태양직사광 지역은 바람이 원활하게 통하는 그림자 지역 보다 최대 $16^{\circ}C$까지 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 연구를 통해서 하절기 옥외공간의 열쾌적성을 개선하는데 차양이 가장 중요하며, 그 다음이 통풍이라는 사실을 파악할 수 있었다. 따라서 옥외공간에 더 많은 녹음수와 숲을 조성하여 그림자 지역을 증가시킴으로써 인간의 하절기 옥외활동에 많은 제약을 주고 있는 불필요한 열에너지를 현격하게 저감시켜 쾌적한 미기후를 효과적으로 조성할 수 있으며, 나아가 정교하게 조성된 바람길이나 통풍 시스템을 적용한다면 도시 전체의 열환경도 효과적으로 개선할 수 있을 것이다.

한반도의 보성-장흥지역에는, 5개의 열수 금(-은)광상이 부존하며, 다음과 같은 특징들을 보여준다: 에렉트럼의 비교적 금이 풍부한 특성; 은-안티모니(끼소)황염광물의 부재; 괴상이며 단순한 광물조성을 지닌 석영맥. 이러한 성질들은 본 지역의 금광화작용이 한반도의 주라기내지 초기 백악기의 중열수형 금광상과 대비가 됨을 지시한다. 유체포유물 연구에 의하면, 본 지역의 광화 1기 석영내 포유물은 0.0~l3.8 wt. % NaCl를 지니고 200~46$0^{\circ}C$의 넓은 온도에서 균질화하며, 광화 2기 방해석내 유체포유물은 1.2~7.9wt. % NaCl를 지니고 15$0^{\circ}C$~254$^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 균질화한다. 이는 시간이 지남에 따라 열수활동이 쇠퇴하면서 열수유체가 냉각되었음을 지시한다. $CO_2$불혼화를 포함한 비등증거는 본 지역의 함금유체의 포획시 압력이 최대 770bar에 해당됨을 지시하고 있다. 본 지역 함금유체의 계산된 황동위원소 조성(${\delta}^34S$_{{\Sigma}S}$=0.2~3.3$\textperthousand$)은 열수유체내 황의 화성기원을 지시하고 있다. 소백산육괴내에는 두 개의 대표적인 중열수형 광화대(영동지역 및 보성-장흥지역)가 부존한다. 영동지역의 황화물의 $\delta$$^{34}S$ 값은 -6.6~2.3$\textperthousand$(평균 -1.4$\textperthousand$, 분석수 66개)이며, 보성-장흥지역의 황화물의 (${\delta}^{34}S값은 -0.7~3.6$\textperthousand$(평균 1.6$\textperthousand$, 분석수 39개)이다. 두 지역의 $\delta$$^{34}$ S값은 대부분의 한반도 금속광상(3~7$\textperthousand$)의 ${\delta}^{34}S값보다 낮다. 그리고, 소백산 육괴내에서는 영동지역의${/delta}^{34}S값이 보성-장흥지역의 ${\delta}^{34}S값보다 낮다. 소백산 육괴내에서(${\delta}^{34}/S값의 차이는 다음과 같은 반응기작에 의해 야기될 수 있다: 1) 두 지역의 주라기 중열수형 금광상에 대해 적어도 두 개의 근원지(두개 모두 화성기원이며, -6$\textperthousand$ 미만 및 2$\pm$2$\textperthousand$의 $\delta$$^{34}$ S값)가 존재, 2) 마그마의 생성 및 상승중 $^{32}S$가 풍부한 황(선캠브리아기의 이토질 긴저암내 황)의 혼합(동화)차이; (3)광화지역까지 상승중 H$_2$S가 풍부한 마그마에서 유래된 황원(${\delta}^{34}/S=2$\pm$2$\textperthousand$)의 산화차이. 두 지역 중열수형광상의 석영내 유체포 유물과 광석광물(특히, 철을 함유한 광석광물)의 상이성을 고려하여, 영동지역의 자류철석이 풍부한 중열수형 광상이 보성-장흥지역의 황철석(-유비철석)이 풍부한 중열수형 광상보다 더욱 높은 온도와 더욱 환원된 유체로부터 생성되었음을 알 수 있다. 현재 두 지역에서 산출되는 선캠브리아 편마암과 고생대 퇴적암의 (${\delta}^{34}S값을 알지 못하므로 두 지역 황동위원소 값의 차이에 대한 원인으로 세 번째 반응기작이 가장 가능성이 크다고 판단된다. 앞으로는, 광석황의 근원을 더욱 체계적으로 규명하기 위해서, 소백산육괴를 포함한 한반도의 기저부를 이루는 선캠브리아 변성암과 고생대 퇴적암의 ${\delta}^{34}S값을 조사할 필요가 있다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
