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.

최근 경제재로서 수자원(Water Resources)의 속성이 공공재 성격을 동시에 띠면서 수자원기술의 측정과 성과 관리 체계를 확보하고 활용해야 할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 그 동안 수자원기술의 평가는 대부분 순현재가치(NPV)나 비용편익효과(B/C)를 바탕으로 경제성 평가(Feasibility Study) 혹은 기술(환경)영향평가(Technology Assessment)로 수행되어 왔으며, 연구성과의 확산과 피드백을 받을 수 있는 기술 기반 사업의 경제적 가치를 객관적으로 평가하는 모델은 체계화되지 않았다. 그리하여, 본 연구에서는 K-water(한국수자원공사)가 담당하고 있는 수자원분야의 기술적 특성에 적합한 기술평가 체계를 구축할 필요성을 느끼고, 공익형 수자원기술에 대한 기술가치평가 모델을 개발하여 사례를 실증하고자 한다. 본 연구에 적용된 K-water 평가대상기술은 공공재로서, 사회전반에 기여한 가치 및 성과를 측정하고 관리할 수 있는 도구로 활용 가능하다. 예를 들면, 사회전반에 기여한 가치를 산출하여, 편익의 파급효과에 대한 성과 홍보자료, 혹은 비용 투입 당위성에 대한 근거자료로 활용할 수 있고, 공공기술의 특성상 대규모 연구개발 투입 비용에 대한 정당성을 확보할 수 있다. 따라서, 공공재를 다루는 한국의 대표적 공기업인 K-water가 사업 운영상의 전략을 수립하고 투입개발 비용에 대한 성과산출 근거 기반을 구축할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 고에서는 K-water가 담당하고 있는 수자원분야의 기술적 특성에 적합한 기술평가 체계를 기반으로, 공익형 수자원기술에 대한 기술가치평가 모델을 개발하여 사례를 실증하였다. 특히, 일본 산업기술종합연구소(AIST)의 평가방법론을 활용하여 연관 편익항목을 기준으로 비용계정에 매칭시킨 후, 기존의 비용-편익 접근법과 FCF(Free Cash Flow)법의 평가체계를 활용하는 'K-water 고유모델'을 제시하였으며 이를 통해 K-water 연구성과 관리체계 상의 파이프라인을 구축하는 동시에 "해수담수화" 관련 기술에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 수자원 분야 기술의 특성을 반영한 웹기반 가치평가시스템의 설계 구성로직과 평가프로세스를 분석하며, 기술통합관리시스템 상의 공익형 및 수익형 기술가치를 산출하기 위한 각 모델별 참조정보 및 DB 연계로직도 살펴본다. 종래의 타 분야 기술가치평가 시스템이 지닌 재무적 데이터 기반의 사업가치 산출로직에 수자원 특성이 반영된 정성평가지표의 정량화 지수를 함께 반영한 하이브리드형 평가모듈과 실제 웹기반 평가의 UI 구성화면을 검토한다. K-water의 가치평가 모형은 공익형과 수익형 수자원 기술을 구분하여 평가하게 되는데, 먼저 수익형 기술가치평가는 "기술의 경제성"이라고 하는 특성상 외부 산업유형의 수익(Profit)특성을 반영하여 화면을 설계 가능하다. 예를 들어 K-water 기술인벤토리 수도부문 기술은 수처리 멤브레인과 같이 수익 지향 기술이 다수 분포된다. 반면에, 공익형 기술가치평가는 공공의 편익(Benefit)과 비용(Cost)특성을 반영하여 화면을 설계하게 되는데, 댐과 같이 편익을 지향하는 기술을 평가하는데 활용된다. 또한 본 고에서 제시된 비용-편익 기반의 공익형 기술가치평가 모형(K-water 고유 평가모델)에 대한 적정성 검토를 위해 사회적 수명(20년)을 지닌 수자원 기술의 편익흐름 추정으로부터 실제 사례에 적용해 보았으며, 향후에는 다양한 사업환경 특성을 반영한 비즈니스 모델별 평가모형 검증을 추가적으로 수행하고자 한다.

최근 외환위기 이후 기업 R&D 투자의 실질증가율이 외환위기 이전의 절반에 가까운 평균 약 7.1%로 떨어지고 있으며, 대기업에 비해 중소기업에 대한 정부의 R&D 투자 지원이 상대적으로 유리한 데도 중소기업의 R&D 투자 비중은 줄어들고 있다. 또한 1990년대 중반부터 상위 3개 기업을 제외한 대기업 R&D 투자는 증가하지 않고 있어 대기업 간의 R&D 투자 양극화 현상이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 기업의 R&D 투자 현상의 원인이 무엇인지 분석해 볼 필요가 있다. 또한 정부의 R&D 직접 보조금 정책이나 조세지원 정책의 당위성에 대해서 이론적으로나 현실적으로 그 필요성이 인정되더라도 정책의 효율성에 대해서는 검증해 보아야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 우리 정부가 가장 보편적으로 활용하고 있는 R&D 보조금 지원제도와 조세지원제도가 과연 효과가 있는지를 실증 분석을 통해 검증해 보려고 한다. 특히 우리나라의 재정지원제도는 대기업과 중소기업 간에 차별적으로 적용되고 있기 때문에 기업 규모에 따른 정책 효과를 구분하여 분석한다. 본 연구의 실증 분석에 이용한 개별 기업의 R&D 데이터는 2002년에서 2005년까지 기업의 연구개발 활동에 대해 서베이 한 "과학기술연구개발활동조사보고"의 기업별 원시 패널 데이터 중에서 활용한 불균형(unbalanced) 패널 데이터이다. 각 기업의 보조금과 관련한 데이터는 "과학기술연구개발활동조사보고"의 서베이 데이터를 사용했으며, 조세지원을 나타내는 사용자 비용에 관한 데이터는 이론적 모형에서 도출하였다. 본 연구의 패널 데이터 분석은 고정효과 모형을 대기업, 중소기업 및 모든 기업에 각각 적용했다. 본 연구의 실증 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 정부의 직접 보조금 지원은 대기업의 경우 R&D 투자를 늘리는 유인효과(crow이ng-in effect)를 보인데 반해, 중소기업은 R&D 투자를 줄이는 구축효과(crowding-out effect)가 나타났다. 그러나 대기업이나 중소기업 모두 정부의 보조금 지원정책에 대한 반응이 매우 비탄력적으로 추정되었기 때문에 R&D 보조금 지원정책이 기업의 R&D 투자에 미치는 영향은 매우 낮은 것으로 판단된다. 정부의 R&D 조세지원은 대기업과 중소기업의 R&D 투자를 유인하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 중소기업보다 대기업의 R&D 촉진에 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 조세지원으로 사용자 비용이 1% 감소하면 대기업은 R&D 투자를 0.99% 증가시키고, 중소기업은 0.054% 증가시키는 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구의 분석 결과에서 시사하는 정부의 R&D 재정지원제도의 개선 방향은 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 정부의 R&D 보조금은 기업의 R&D 투자를 구축하지 않도록 기업과 중복되지 않는 기초연구와 공공기술 지원에 국한해야 하며, 중소기업에 대해서는 R&D 인프라 구축과 기술정보지원 등 R&D 서버스(extension service) 지원에 초점을 두어야 할 것이다. 대기업에 대한 R&D 조세지원은 한시적으로 강화할 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 4개 연도의 기업 패널 데이터를 활용하였는데, 앞으로 정책의 효과를 장기간에 걸쳐 분석할 수 있는 거시 시계열 데이터를 활용한 분석의 보완이 필요하다. 또한 기업의 R&D 투자 촉진 외에도 일반 투자나 기타 목적을 위해 시행되고 있는 정부의 재정 정책들과의 대체 혹은 보완 관계의 여부를 검증해 볼 필요가 있다. 특히 중소기업의 시설투자 세액 공제와 R&D 투자 세액공제 제도의 혜택은 단기투자와 장기투자를 선택해야 하는 기업의 의사 결정에 영향을 줄 수 있다.

세계가 급변하고 시시각각 발전하는 기술 속에서 전시 산업은 국가와 기업의 중요한 홍보 수단으로 부각되고 있다. 특히, 전시회에 참여하는 참여업체는 상품 또는 서비스를 전시하고 메시지를 전달하기 위해 마련된 개별 전시공간을 통해 기업들과 소비자들에게 단기간에 신제품과 신기술에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있으며 국내외 시장의 욕구와 추세변화 및 경쟁업체들에 대한 정보를 파악할 수 있다. 참여업체들은 이러한 참가 목적의 달성을 위해 다양한 프로모션을 계획하고 실행하며 프로모션 정보를 참관객에게 실시간으로 제공할 수 있는 스마트 전시 환경의 구축은 이전보다 다양한 프로모션 기법의 적용 및 실행을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만, 이러한 스마트 전시 환경의 발전에도 불구하고 현재 실행되고 있는 프로모션은 참관객의 욕구나 목표에 대한 이해가 부족한 상태에서 무차별적인 매스마케팅 형태로 진행되어 그 본래의 목적을 상실하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 참여업체의 차별화된 프로모션의 계획과 실행을 위해 기존에 널리 사용되는 마케팅 기법인 STP 전략의 프로세스를 도입하여 스마트 전시 환경에서 프로모션에 적합한 참관객을 자동적으로 선정하여 프로모션 정보를 제공하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 스마트 전시회의 특성을 고려한다. 먼저, 전시회는 전시업체가 관람객과 상호작용하기 위해 모인 일시적이고 시간에 민감한 시장이다. 따라서, 불충분한 기존 참관객의 정보를 이용하는 것이 아닌 신규 참관객 분석의 관점에서 서비스를 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 두 번째로, 스마트 전시 환경에서는 참관객의 정보를 실시간으로 획득할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면에 데이터의 분석 및 서비스의 제공이 실시간으로 이루어져야 한다. 마지막으로, 참관객이 스마트 전시 환경에서 만들어 내는 데이터를 활용하는 기법이 필요하다. 스마트 전시 환경에서는 유용한 데이터를 실시간으로 획득할 수 있어 참관객이 전시회 내에서 하는 활동을 분석하는 행위적 세분화에 근거한 접근방식이 필요하다. 이러한 특성을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 제안한 시스템을 실제 전시회에 파일럿 시스템 형태로 적용하여 참관객을 실시간으로 분류 및 분석하고 각 메시지에 대한 성과를 측정하는 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 전시 참관객의 행동 패턴을 4가지로 분류하여 각 군집별 특성을 프로모션 메시지의 성과로 측정하여 그에 적합한 프로모션 전략을 도출하였다. 이러한 프로모션 전략은 실제 전시 참여업체의 프로모션 기획 및 실행에 중요한 전략적 도구로 사용되어 프로모션 성과를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

이 연구는 의료보험관리공단의 공 교 의료보험자료를 이용하여 1989년부터 1993년까지의 5년간의 60세이상의 노인의 의료이용과 진료비의 변화를 연령별, 성별, 의료 보험료 수준별 코호트를 구성하여 상병당으로 분석함으로써 좀 더 정확한 변화의 양상을 파악하고 예측을 하는데 연구의 목적이 있다. 연령별 연도별 입원 수진율은 연도별 입원수진율은 70-74세 군이 89년과 93년에 각각 1,000명당 117.3과 141.1로 가장 높았으며, 매년 증가하는 추세이다. 연령 코호트의 연도별 상병건수는 전체적으로는 5년 동안에 40.5%증가하였다. 성별 코호트의 연도별 상병건수는 남자 상병건수보다 여자가 많이 증가하였으며, 남자와 여자의 연평균 증가율은 각각 9.1%와 10.2%였다. 연령 코호트의 상병당 연도별 입원진료비의 변화는 전체적으로 보았을 때 5년간 총 진료비는 15.4%증가 하였다. 이 중 진료행위료의 증가가 21.5%로 가장 큰 폭으로 증가하였다. 의료 보험료 수준별 코호트의 상병당 입원진료비 변화는 보험료 수준이 낮은 군보다 높은 군에서 진료비가 높았으며, 보험료 수준별 코호트의 연도의 경과에 따라서 각종 진료비가 증가하였다. 재원기간은 0.08% 증가하여 거의 변화가 없었으며, 1991년을 기점으로 감소하는 경향이었다. 10대 다빈도 상병 중에서 가장 흔한 질병은 백내장이었다. 1993년의 10대 다빈도상병 중 1989년에 비하여 비율이 증가한 상병은 백내장, 뇌동맥 폐색이었으며, 감소한 질병은 폐결핵과 본태성 고혈압이었다. 전체 상병에서 10대 상병이 차지하는 비율은 30-35%였으며, 연령군별로는 차이가 없었다. 연령 코호트의 이용의료기관별 평균진료비 및 재원 기간은 전체적으로는 병원급 의료기관에서의 진료비 증가율이 가장 높았으며, 재원기간은 의료기관 종별에 관계없이 감소하였으며, 병원이 4.9% 감소하여 감소폭이 가장 켰다. 총 상병건수에서 고액진료건수가 차지하는 비율은 67.6% 증가하였고, 암환자건수는 8.9% 증가하였으며, 장기입원환자가 차지하는 비율은 오히려 1.2% 감소하였다. 총 진료비 규모는 62.2% 증가하였으며, 고액상병진료비가 차지하는 비율은 5년간 129.9% 증가하였고, 암환자 진료비는 68.5%, 장기입원환자의 진료비는 59.4% 증가하였다. 상병당 입원진료비 및 재원기간을 1989년 수가로 환산하여 변화 추이를 보면, 상병당 총 진료비는 매우 완만한 증가를 보이고, 약제비는 오히려 약간 감소하는 경향이었고, 진료행위료는 지속적으로 상승하는 추세였다. 재원기간은 완만하게 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 연령구간별로 구분하여 분석한 결과 진료비와 재원기간과는 연령에 관계없이 비슷한 상관계수를 보였으나, 의료보험료 수준과 연령구간별 진료비는 상관계수는 매우 작았으며, 연령군별로 큰 차이는 없었다. 시계열 분석 결과 향후 약제비는 매우 완만한 감소 추세를 보일 것이고, 진료행위료와 총 진료비는 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측되었으며, 재원기간은 13.0일로 변화가 없을 것으로 예측되었다. 이 연구에서는 진료행위료의 증가가 총 진료비의 상승을 주도하고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 이는 첨단 의료기기나 신기술의 도입에 의한 것으로 의료기관들의 서비스 다각화 전략과도 관련 있는 것으로 생각된다. 또한 의료이용량 즉 입원상병건수의 증가가 진료비 상승에 영향을 많이 미치는 것으로 판단되며 전체 인구 집단의 의료비 상승요인과는 다른 양상을 보일 수 있으므로 노인 인구에 대한 의료비 절감 대책은 다른 연령층과 구별하여 적용할 필요성이 있다고 볼 수 있다. 향후 노인 연령 군별 질병양상의 변화와 서비스량 및 변화에 대한 연구를 개인특성 자료나 의료기관의 특성 등과 연계하여 포괄적인 연구를 수행함으로써 노인입원 특성과 향후 노인의료 이용량과 진료비의 추이를 판단하고 이를 토대로 노인의료문제의 해결을 위한 방안을 마련할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

주요 구인구직사이트의 직무분류체계가 사이트마다 상이하고 SW분야에서 제안한 'SQF(Sectoral Qualifications Framework)'의 직무분류체계와도 달라 SW산업에서 SW기업, SW구직자, 구인구직사이트가 모두 납득할 수 있는 새로운 직무분류체계가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 주요 구인구직사이트의 구인정보와 'NCS(National Competaency Standars)'에 기반을 둔 SQF를 분석하여 시장 수요를 반영한 표준 직무분류체계를 구축하는 것이다. 이를 위해 주요 구인구직사이트의 직종 간 연관분석과 SQF와 직종 간 연관분석을 실시하여 직종 간 연관규칙을 도출하고자 한다. 이 연관규칙을 이용하여 주요 구인구직사이트의 직무분류체계를 맵핑하고 SQF와 직무 분류체계를 맵핑함으로써 데이터 기반의 지능형 직무분류체계를 제안하였다. 연구 결과 국내 주요 구인구직사이트인 '워크넷,' '잡코리아,' '사람인'에서 3만여 건의 구인정보를 open API를 이용하여 XML 형태로 수집하여 데이터베이스에 저장했다. 이 중 복수의 구인구직사이트에 동시 게시된 구인정보 900여 건을 필터링한 후 빈발 패턴 마이닝(frequent pattern mining)인 Apriori 알고리즘을 적용하여 800여 개의 연관규칙을 도출하였다. 800여 개의 연관규칙을 바탕으로 워크넷, 잡코리아, 사람인의 직무분류체계와 SQF의 직무분류체계를 맵핑하여 1~4차로 분류하되 분류의 단계가 유연한 표준 직무분류체계를 새롭게 구축했다. 본 연구는 일부 전문가의 직관이 아닌 직종 간 연관분석을 통해 데이터를 기반으로 직종 간 맵핑을 시도함으로써 시장 수요를 반영하는 새로운 직무분류체계를 제안했다는데 의의가 있다. 다만 본 연구는 데이터 수집 시점이 일시적이기 때문에 시간의 흐름에 따라 변화하는 시장의 수요를 충분히 반영하지 못하는 한계가 있다. 계절적 요인과 주요 공채 시기 등 시간에 따라 시장의 요구하는 변해갈 것이기에 더욱 정확한 매칭을 얻기 위해서는 지속적인 데이터 모니터링과 반복적인 실험이 필요하다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 SW산업 분야에서 SQF의 개선방향을 제시하는데 활용될 수 있고, SW산업 분야에서 성공을 경험삼아 타 산업으로 확장 이전될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 세계식량농업기구(FAO) 가축다양성정보시스템(DAD-IS)에 등재되어 있는 우리나라 재래닭 집단의 유전적 다양성 및 외래품종과의 차별성을 분석하기 위해 25개의 초위성체(MS) 마커를 이용하여 총 18개 집단 548수의 유전자형을 분석하였고, 이를 토대로 기대($H_{\exp}$) 및 관측이형접합도($H_{obs}$), 다형정보지수(PIC), 유전거리, 유전적 균일도 등을 계산하였다. 마커별 다형성 분석 결과, 총 195개의 대립유전자가 나타났으며, $H_{\exp}$와 PIC의 경우 MCW0145에서 각각 0.646, 0.569로 가장 높았으며, $H_{obs}$의 경우 ADL0278에서 0.773으로 가장 높은 수치를 보이고 있었던 반면, MCW0078에서는 $H_{\exp}$, $H_{obs}$, PIC가 각각 0.263, 0.291, 0.217로 가장 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 집단간 다양성 분석 결과로는 MNA, $H_{\exp}$, $H_{obs}$, PIC 모두 황갈색재래종(KNY) 집단(각각 4.60, 0.627, 0.643, 0.563)에서 가장 높게, 횡성약닭(HYD) 집단(각각 1.84, 0.297, 0.286, 0.236)에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 대립유전자형의 빈도를 바탕으로 계산된 18개 품종간의 DA 유전거리 분석 결과, 횡성약닭(HYD)와 화이트레그혼F(LGF) 집단 사이에서 0.675로 가장 먼 유전거리를 형성하고 있었으며, 같은 품종인 로드아일랜드레드 두 집단(RRC, RRD) 사이에서 0.027로 가장 가까운 유전거리를 보였다. 한편, 같은 품종임에도 불구하고, 코니시 두 집단(COS, COH)사이에서는 0.313의 비교적 먼 유전거리를 나타내고 있었다. 집단의 실제 구조를 확인하기 위한 집단별 균일도 분석 결과, K=15에서 최적의 K값(${\Delta}K:66.22$)을 얻을 수 있었으며, 18개의 집단 중 14개의 집단에서 90% 이상의 높은 유전적 균일도를 나타내며 독립적인 군락을 형성하고 있었다. 또한, 황갈색재래종(KNY), 현인흑계(HIC), 연산오계(KNO) 집단에서도 각각 88.9%, 83.9%, 76.3%로 독립적인 군락을 형성하고 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 제주재래닭(JJC)의 경우 독립적인 군락을 형성하지 못하고, 황갈색재래종(KNY) 집단이 속해 있는 2번 군락에서 가장 높은 44.3%의 균일도를 보이고 있었으며, 3번 군락(17.7%)과 8번 군락(19.1%)에도 일부 포함되어 있는 것으로 보아 집단 조성 과정에 있어 타집단과의 교잡이 일어났을 것으로 추정되며, 독립적인 집단으로 구분하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 추후 개체식별을 통한 지속적인 계획교배를 실시하여 유전적 고정화 작업이 이루어질 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과로 DAD-IS에 등재되어 있는 우리나라 재래닭 집단이 외래 토착종 집단과 확연하게 구분이 되며, 각 재래닭 집단간에도 비교적 뚜렷하게 구분되는 것을 확인함으로써, 고유 종자로서의 과학적인 근거를 확보할 수 있었으며, 추후 재래닭 유전자원에 대한 국가 수준의 관리 및 평가를 통해 다양한 육종 소재로 이용할 수 있는 기초자료로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 생물다양성협약(CBD) 글로벌 보전목표(K-M GBF)의 핵심이라고 할 수 있는 실천목표 3(30by30)에 대한 우리나라의 효과적 대응 방향을 모색하기 위한 것으로, OECM에 대한 글로벌 개념 고찰 및 전문가 인식조사를 통해 국가 차원의 체계적인 OECM 발굴방향을 모색하고자 하였다. 글로벌 표준을 준수하되 한국적 맥락을 반영한 국가 차원의 체계적인 OECM 발굴방향을 모색을 위해 본 연구에서는 ①OECM 관련 한국적 용어 사용, ②글로벌 표준을 반영한 결정인자(criteria) 도출, ③우리나라 잠재 OECM 후보 유형 도출, ④OECM 발굴‧보고 시 고려사항 등을 검토하였다. 먼저 OECM의 단순 번역어 사용이 아닌 이의 개념을 잘 반영한 '한국적 용어' 사용에 대한 공감대 형성이 있었으며, 가장 선호되는 용어이자 '자연과 조화로운 삶'이라는 생물다양성협약(CBD) 2050 비전과도 그 맥락을 같이하는 '자연공존지역(12명)'이 타당한 것으로 나타났다. 글로벌 표준을 반영한 주요 결정인자로는, 1단계 선별과정에서 OECM 핵심 특성을 반영한 4개 결정인자(1. 보호지역 여부, 2. 지리적 경계, 3. 거버넌스‧관리, 4. 생물다양성 가치)를 활용하고, 개별지역 심층진단을 수행하기 전에 관리‧관할기관 등과의 공감대형성(2단계) 과정을 거친 후 3단계(발굴‧보고단계)에서 2가지 결정인자(3-1 거버넌스와 관리의 효과성과 지속성, 4-1의 생물다양성 가치의 장기적 보전성과)를 추가하여 심층 진단을 수행하는 방향을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 살펴본 28개 유형은 대체적으로 OECM 부합성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며(4.45~6.21점/7점, 평균 5.24점), 특히 자연환경국민신탁의 보전재산(6.21점) 및 보전협약지(6.07점)가 OECM 개념에 가장 잘 부합할 것으로 나타났다. 이어 세계자연유산 완충구역(5.77점), 사찰림(5.73점), 개발제한구역(5.63점), 비무장지대(5.60점), 생물권보전지역 완충구역(5.50점) 등이 잠재성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 절대보전무인도서의 경우 보호지역에 부합한다는 응답(5.83/7점)이 OECM 부합성(5.52/7점) 보다 더 높게 나타나, 향후 절대보전무인도는 그 주변해역(1km)과 더불어 한국보호지역데이터베이스(KDPA)에 등재를 추진하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. OECM 관련 글로벌 표준 검토 및 전문가 인식조사 결과를 토대로, 한국적 맥락의 OECM 발굴시 고려사항으로 10가지를 제시하였다. 향후 이러한 고려사항을 참고하여 단계적인 발굴사업을 통해 OECM을 목록화하고 기존 보호지역과의 연계를 통한 국가 차원의 현지-내 보전체계 정립을 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. 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 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.

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.

We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. 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.
