이 연구는 생태복원을 하는 데 있어서 식물종을 사용하는 현황을 파악하는 것이 주된 목적이다. 이를 위해서 최근 6년간 수행된 생태계보전협력금 반환사업 58개소에 대한 식재 도면을 수집하여 분석하였다. 식재한 식물의 분석은 준공 및 설계도면을 이용하여 전체 선정 현황과 함께 성상별, 규격별, 식생 기후대별, 육상 및 습지의 서식처별, 자생식물과 재배식물로 구분하여 빈도분석을 하였다. 조사 및 분석 과정에서 식물 이름이 잘못된 경우가 많아서 이에 대한 분석도 함께 실시하였다. 58개 대상지에서 식재에 사용한 식물은 282 분류군이었으며, 교목류는 91종, 관목류는 69종, 만경목 11종, 초본류는 111종으로 나타났다. 전체적으로 가장 많이 사용한 식물종은 조팝나무, 팥배나무, 상수리나무, 잔디, 좀작살나무와 병꽃나무 순으로 나타났다. 교목 중에서는 팥배나무, 상수리나무, 이팝나무, 느티나무, 산수유 순이었으며, 관목류는 조팝나무, 병꽃나무, 좀작살나무, 산철쭉, 화살나무 순이었다. 초본류는 잔디, 구절초, 벌개미취, 물억새, 수크령 순이었다. 식생기후대별 분석에서는 온대중부산림대와 난대수림대 모두에서 조팝나무, 좀작살나무 순으로 많이 사용되었는데, 이러한 패턴은 기후대별 특성을 반영하지 못한 것으로 판단하였다. 서식처별 분석 결과, 습지에서는 물억새와 털부처꽃이 가장 많이 사용되었다. 특히 자생식물과 재배식물의 선정 비율이 76% 대 24%로 재배식물의 선정 비율도 높게 나타났다. 또한 도면에 적시된 식물명은 국가표준식물목록 및 국가생물종목록에 나타나지 않는 보통명을 많이 사용하고 있었는데, 앞으로 식물명에 대한 올바른 사용이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 앞으로 생태복원을 위한 식재 식물의 사용과 관련해서는 선정 식물의 다양화와 함께 기후대의 특성을 고려한 식물 선정, 생태복원에 사용하는 식물 규격을 낮추는 접근 방법이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 습지식물의 경우에는 생태적 특성을 충분히 이해한 접근이 중요했고, 자생식물 중심의 식물 선정을 위해 재배식물 사용 비율을 최소화하는 것들이 필요한 과제로 나타났다.

탑에서 발견된 동경은 단순 공양품으로 여겨져 동경 연구에서도 크게 관심 받지 못했다. 그리고 탑 내 봉안 동경 연구는 오월국 탑에서 발견된 선각불상문경에 집중되어 있어, 탑 내 봉안 동경에 대한 전반적 특징을 알기 어려웠다. 그렇기에 본고는 오대~송대 시기 많은 탑들에서 발견된 동경이 목적을 갖고 봉안되었을 것으로 생각했으며, 이를 파악하기 위해 봉안 위치와 방식에 중점을 두었다. 오대 오월국시기에 탑 내 동경을 봉안하는 사례가 증가했고, 동경은 단순한 공양품이 아닌 목적을 갖고 불교와 관련된 도상이나 명문이 새겨져 있는 봉안품이었다. 이는 동경의 사용 목적이 변화했음을 보여주는 것으로 송대까지 영향을 끼친다. 송대는 오월국의 영향이 꾸준히 이어지면서도 송대 문화와 사회 분위기로 인해 동경 봉안 양상도 변화한다. 봉안된 동경의 종류는 소문경이 다수를 차지하며, 당대 동경도 꾸준히 사용되었다. 소문경은 오월국의 영향으로 선각불상문과 같은 도상과 명문을 새기기 용이했기에 적극적으로 사용했다. 또한 당대 동경은 송대 방고동기에 대한 관심과 황제의 영향으로 인해 귀하게 여겨져 탑을 조성할 때 당경을 공양품으로 봉안한 것으로 추정된다. 오대~송대 탑 내 동경 봉안은 그 방식에서 변화가 있었다. 당대 지궁 바닥이나 철함 내 놓아두던 동경은 의도적으로 벽에 붙이거나 천장에 매달아 놓았다. 이 방식을 크게 두가지로 구분하여 벽이나 천장에 감입하는 방식(감입경: 嵌入鏡)과 천장에 매달아 놓는 방식(현경: 懸鏡)으로 분류했다. 천장에 매달아 놓는 방식으로는 대표적으로 하북 정지사탑(靜志寺塔)이 있으며, 천장에 감입한 예로는 하남(河南) 복승사탑(福勝寺塔)이 있다. 이렇게 동경을 천장에 매달고 감입하는 방식은 중국 묘실과의 관련성이 높다. 송대 묘실은 넓고 높은 구조를 갖고 있어, 벽사용 동경을 이용해 묘실을 지키고자했다. 그렇기에 높은 곳에 동경을 두어 묘실을 비추게 했으며, 이는 앞서 언급한 두가지 방식으로 이루어졌다. 탑 역시 지궁이 넓고 높아짐에 따라 지궁의 중요한 부분을 지키고, 내부를 밝게 비추고자 했다. 따라서 오대~송대 탑 내 동경 봉안방식은 당시 묘실에 동경을 봉안하던 방식을 차용했던 것으로 생각되며, 이후 섬서(陝西) 묘각사탑(妙覺寺塔)과 같이 적극적으로 설계 때부터 감입을 고려하여 동경을 놓을 자리를 마련해 놓은 예도 등장하게 된다.

이 연구의 목적은 공학기반 파력발전소 주제의 STEAM 수업을 통해서 지구과학전공 예비교사들의 컴퓨팅 사고에 대한 인식형성 및 개선이 있는지를 탐색하는 것이다. STEAM 수업은 가장 효율적인 파력발전소 모형을 제작해보는 내용으로 구성되었다. 컴퓨팅 사고 실천 인식을 알아보는 설문지는 연구자가 기존의 연구를 중심으로 설문 문항을 개발하여 15명의 예비교사들에게 투입하였다. STEAM 수업은 파도를 이용해서 터빈이 돌아가는 과학적 원리 이해를 바탕으로 모둠별로 효율적인 파력발전소 모형을 개발하도록 하였으며 수업 중에 문제를 인식하고(문제해결), 코딩작업을 해서(코딩 및 프로그래밍) 3D 프린터로 파력발전소를 제작하였으며(모델 설계 및 구축), 제작된 산출물을 평가하여 오류를 수정하는(문제 오류 수정) 동안에 '논리적 사고'를 통한 높은 수준의 컴퓨팅 사고 실천 인식이 파악되었다(14개 중에 앞의 5개 실천은 평균 5점). 하지만 용어에 대한 정확한 정의를 알지 못하고 실시한 수업에서 '추상화'. '문제분해', 및 '빅 데이터 활용'에 대한 인식은 오히려 수업 후의 인식은 더 낮아졌다(3개의 실천). STEAM 수업 후에는 컴퓨팅 사고 실천은 '온라인 게임하기'는 아니라는 것에 인식개선이 있었지만(4.06→0.86; 역문항) 아직도 컴퓨터를 이용해서 해야 하는 컴퓨팅 사고 실천으로 인식하고 있어 개선되지 않음이 확인되었다(컴퓨터처럼 생각하기, 컴퓨터를 사용하여 통계하기). 문제 인식에 해당하는 '문제해결'(3.73→4.33), '패턴 인식'(3.53→3.66), 그리고 '최상의 도구 선택'(4.26→4.66)의 3개 실천은 인식이 약하게 개선되었다. 컴퓨팅 사고 실천과 같은 역량 함양을 위해서는 실습위주의 교육양성과정이 개설되어야 하며, 특히 본 연구에서는 다른 주제의 추가적인 STEAM 수업을 했다면 개선이 일어나지 않거나 약하게 인식되었던 컴퓨팅 사고 실천에 대해서는 확실한 개선이 있을 수 있다는 결론을 내릴 수 있다. 다회적인 상황학습의 교육실습 교육과정이 개설되어야 한다.

This project was a service-cum-research effort with a quasi-experimental study design to examine the health benefits of an integrated Family Planning (FP)/Maternal & Child health (MCH) Service approach that provides crucial factors missing in the present on-going programs. The specific objectives were: 1) To test the effectiveness of trained nurse/midwives (MW) assigned as change agents in the Health Sub-Center (HSC) to bring about the changes in the eight FP/MCH indicators, namely; (i)FP/MCH contacts between field workers and their clients (ii) the use of effective FP methods, (iii) the inter-birth interval and/or open interval, (iv) prenatal care by medically qualified personnel, (v) medically supervised deliveries, (vi) the rate of induced abortion, (vii) maternal and infant morbidity, and (viii) preinatal & infant mortality. 2) To measure the integrative linkage (contacts) between MW & HSC workers and between HSC and clients. 3) To examine the organizational or administrative factors influencing integrative linkage between health workers. Study design; The above objectives called for quasi-experimental design setting up a study and control area with and without a midwife. An active intervention program (FP/MCH minimum 'package' program) was conducted for a 2 year period from June 1982-July 1984 in Seosan County and 'before and after' surveys were conducted to measure the change. Service input; This study was undertaken by the Soonchunhyang University in collaboration with WHO. After a baseline survery in 1981, trained nurses/midwives were introduced into two health sub-centers in a rural setting (Seosan county) for a 2 year period from 1982 to 1984. A major service input was the establishment of midwifery services in the existing health delivery system with emphasis on nurse/midwife's role as the link between health workers (nurse aids) and village health workers, and the referral of risk patients to the private physician (OBGY specialist). An evaluation survey was made in August 1984 to assess the effectiveness of this alternative integrated approach in the study areas in comparison with the control area which had normal government services. Method of evaluation; a. In this study, the primary objective was first to examine to what extent the FP/MCH package program brought about changes in the pre-determined eight indicators (outcome and impact measures) and the following relationship was first analyzed; b. Nevertheless, this project did not automatically accept the assumption that if two or more activities were integrated, the results would automatically be better than a non-integrated or categorical program. There is a need to assess the 'integration process' itself within the package program. The process of integration was measured in terms of interactive linkages, or the quantity & quality of contacts between workers & clients and among workers. Intergrative linkages were hypothesized to be influenced by organizational factors at the HSC clinic level including HSC goals, sltrurture, authority, leadership style, resources, and personal characteristics of HSC staff. The extent or degree of integration, as measured by the intensity of integrative linkages, was in turn presumed to influence programme performance. Thus as indicated diagrammatically below, organizational factors constituted the independent variables, integration as the intervening variable and programme performance with respect to family planning and health services as the dependent variable: Concerning organizational factors, however, due to the limited number of HSCs (2 in the study area and 3 in the control area), they were studied by participatory observation of an anthropologist who was independent of the project. In this observation, we examined whether the assumed integration process actually occurred or not. If not, what were the constraints in producing an effective integration process. Summary of Findings; A) Program effects and impact 1. Effects on FP use: During this 2 year action period, FP acceptance increased from 58% in 1981 to 78% in 1984 in both the study and control areas. This increase in both areas was mainly due to the new family planning campaign driven by the Government for the same study period. Therefore, there was no increment of FP acceptance rate due to additional input of MW to the on-going FP program. But in the study area, quality aspects of FP were somewhat improved, having a better continuation rate of IUDs & pills and more use of effective Contraceptive methods in comparison with the control area. 2. Effects of use of MCH services: Between the study and control areas, however, there was a significant difference in maternal and child health care. For example, the coverage of prenatal care was increased from 53% for 1981 birth cohort to 75% for 1984 birth cohort in the study area. In the control area, the same increased from 41% (1981) to 65% (1984). It is noteworthy that almost two thirds of the recent birth cohort received prenatal care even in the control area, indicating that there is a growing demand of MCH care as the size of family norm becomes smaller 3. There has been a substantive increase in delivery care by medical professions in the study area, with an annual increase rate of 10% due to midwives input in the study areas. The project had about two times greater effect on postnatal care (68% vs. 33%) at delivery care(45.2% vs. 26.1%). 4. The study area had better reproductive efficiency (wanted pregancies with FP practice & healthy live births survived by one year old) than the control area, especially among women under 30 (14.1% vs. 9.6%). The proportion of women who preferred the 1st trimester for their first prenatal care rose significantly in the study area as compared to the control area (24% vs 13%). B) Effects on Interactive Linkage 1. This project made a contribution in making several useful steps in the direction of service integration, namely; i) The health workers have become familiar with procedures on how to work together with each other (especially with a midwife) in carrying out their work in FP/MCH and, ii) The health workers have gotten a feeling of the usefulness of family health records (statistical integration) in identifying targets in their own work and their usefulness in caring for family health. 2. On the other hand, because of a lack of required organizational factors, complete linkage was not obtained as the project intended. i) In regards to the government health worker's activities in terms of home visiting there was not much difference between the study & control areas though the MW did more home visiting than Government health workers. ii) In assessing the service performance of MW & health workers, the midwives balanced their workload between 40% FP, 40% MCH & 20% other activities (mainly immunization). However, $85{\sim}90%$ of the services provided by the health workers were other than FP/MCH, mainly for immunizations such as the encephalitis campaign. In the control area, a similar pattern was observed. Over 75% of their service was other than FP/MCH. Therefore, the pattern shows the health workers are a long way from becoming multipurpose workers even though the government is pushing in this direction. 3. Villagers were much more likely to visit the health sub-center clinic in the study area than in the control area (58% vs.31%) and for more combined care (45% vs.23%). C) Organization factors (admistrative integrative issues) 1. When MW (new workers with higher qualification) were introduced to HSC, it was noted that there were conflicts between the existing HSC workers (Nurse aids with less qualification than MW) and the MW for the beginning period of the project. The cause of the conflict was studied by an anthropologist and it was pointed out that these functional integration problems stemmed from the structural inadequacies of the health subcenter organization as indicated below; i) There is still no general consensus about the objectives and goals of the project between the project staff and the existing health workers. ii) There is no formal linkage between the responsibility of each member's job in the health sub-center. iii) There is still little chance for midwives to play a catalytic role or to establish communicative networks between workers in order to link various knowledge and skills to provide better FP/MCH services in the health sub-center. 2. Based on the above findings the project recommended to the County Chief (who has power to control the administrative staff and the technical staff in his county) the following ; i) In order to solve the conflicts between the individual roles and functions in performing health care activities, there must be goals agreed upon by both. ii) The health sub·center must function as an autonomous organization to undertake the integration health project. In order to do that, it is necessary to support administrative considerations, and to establish a communication system for supervision and to control of the health sub-centers. iii) The administrative organization, tentatively, must be organized to bind the health worker's midwive's and director's jobs by an organic relationship in order to achieve the integrative system under the leadership of health sub-center director. After submitting this observation report, there has been better understanding from frequent meetings & communication between HW/MW in FP/MCH work as the program developed. Lessons learned from the Seosan Project (on issues of FP/MCH integration in Korea); 1) A majority or about 80% of the couples are now practicing FP. As indicated by the study, there is a growing demand from clients for the health system to provide more MCH services than FP in order to maintain the achieved small size of family through FP practice. It is fortunate to see that the government is now formulating a MCH policy for the year 2,000 and revising MCH laws and regulations to emphasize more MCH care for achieving a small size family through family planning practice. 2) Goal consensus in FP/MCH shouBd be made among the health workers It administrators, especially to emphasize the need of care of 'wanted' child. But there is a long way to go to realize the 'real' integration of FP into MCH in Korea, unless there is a structural integration FP/MCH because a categorical FP is still first priority to reduce the rate of population growth for economic reasons but not yet for health/welfare reasons in practice. 3) There should be more financial allocation: (i) a midwife should be made available to help to promote the MCH program and coordinate services, (in) there should be a health sub·center director who can provide leadership training for managing the integrated program. There is a need for 'organizational support', if the decision of integration is made to obtain benefit from both FP & MCH. In other words, costs should be paid equally to both FP/MCH. The integration slogan itself, without the commitment of paying such costs, is powerless to advocate it. 4) Need of management training for middle level health personnel is more acute as the Government has already constructed 90 MCH centers attached to the County Health Center but without adequate manpower, facilities, and guidelines for integrating the work of both FP and MCH. 5) The local government still considers these MCH centers only as delivery centers to take care only of those visiting maternity cases. The MCH center should be a center for the managment of all pregnancies occurring in the community and the promotion of FP with a systematic and effective linkage of resources available in the county such as i.e. Village Health Worker, Community Health Practitioner, Health Sub-center Physicians & Health workers, Doctors and Midwives in MCH center, OBGY Specialists in clinics & hospitals as practiced by the Seosan project at primary health care level.

본 실험은 사료 내 칼슘 수준과 fungal phytase의 상호 관계를 구명하고자 21주령 HyLine Brown 산란계 720수를 공시하여 시험을 실시하였다. 시험구는 phytase 첨가 수준 0, 300, 1000 DPU/kg, 칼슘 2수준(3.5, 4.0%), 무기태 인 수준 무첨가(0.095 NPP), 0.5(0.185 NPP), 1.0%(0.275%)를 조합한 $3{\times}2{\times}3$ 요인 시험으로 하였다. 실험 사료는 CP 16%에 ME 2,800 kcal/ kg 수준으로 급여하였다. 사료는 실험 전 기간 자유 채식토록 하였으며, 점등은 17시간으로 하였다. 조사 항목은 산란계의 생산 능력, 계란의 품질이다. 산란율은 fungal phytase 300 DPU 첨가구에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 연.파란율은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 처리구간별 산란율은 사료의 칼슘 수준에 따른 차이가 없었지만, NPP 무첨가구인 0.095% 첨가구에서 다른 처리구에 비하여 낮았다(P<0.05). 평균 난중 및 1일 산란량은 fungal phytase 300 DPU 첨가구에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 평균 난중은 사료 칼슘 수준이 3.5% 처리구에서 높게 나타났지만(P<0.05) 1일 산란량은 처리구간에 차이가 없었다. 평균 난중 및 1일 산란량은 NPP 무첨가구인 0.095% 첨가구에서 다른 처리구에 비하여 매우 낮았다(P<0.05). 사료 섭취량은 사료의 fungal phytase 및 칼슘 수준에 관계없이 비슷한 경향을 보였지만, 사료내 NPP 0.275, 0.165% 함유된 처리구에서 0.095% 처리구보다 통계적으로 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 사료 요구율은 사료내 칼슘 및 NPP 수준간에 차이가 없었지만, fungal phytase 300DPU 첨가구에서 가장 크게 개선되었다(P<0.05). 난각 강도와 두께는 사료의 칼슘 수준이 높을수록 향상되는 결과를 보였고, NPP 0.275, 0.165%가 함유된 처리구에서 0.095% 처리구에 비하여 향상되었으며, 사료내 fungal phytase 수준에 따른 차이는 없었다. Haugh unit은 처리구간에 큰 차이 없이 비슷하게 나타났다. 본 실험의 결과, 산란계 사료에서 fungal phytase의 적정 수준은 300 DPU이며, 이때 사료내 TCP 첨가량은 권장량 대비 40% 이상 저감 효과가 있었으며, 사료의 칼슘 수준을 높게 하였을지라도 fungal phytase 첨가에 대한 개선 효과는 나타나지 않았다.

본 연구는 문헌 및 현장조사를 바탕으로 양평군 서종면 벽계천에 형성된 수회구곡과 벽계구곡 그리고 노산팔경의 설정 경위를 검토하고, 화서 당대에 향유되고 경영된 명승 벽계의 경관실체를 구명하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 화서 이항로 이후에 설정된 벽계구곡과 노산팔경은 화서의 행적과 관련된 주요 경처를 모은 '현대기(現代期)'의 집경으로 판명되었다. 벽계구곡이 수회구곡의 집경요소와 많은 부분 중복되는 점이나, 수회구곡의 종점부터 노산팔경의 영역이 시작되는 작위적 구성은 수입리 벽계와 노문리 벽계 사이의 장소대립 및 장소패권의 양상을 엿보게 한다. 이는 화서 이전 벽계 향유집단의 오랜 역사성과 화서의 이미지로 밀착된 영역성이 상충되어 나타난 결과로 판단된다. 둘째, 벽계구곡은 노산팔경의 영역을 확대함과 동시에 수입리의 경승을 선별해 재구성한 2차적 공간체계였다. 벽계구곡의 설정 이후 벽계천 전체 권역에 대한 장소 정체성이 효과적으로 확보되었는데, '청서구장(淸西舊莊)'과 '수회구곡(水回九曲)' 바위글씨 등 화서 이전의 명소가 철저히 배제되는 등 '화서 지향적' 공간 성격을 갖고 있었다. 그 결과 노문리뿐만 아니라 수입리에 이르는 벽계천 전체 영역은 화서의 문화경관으로 재편되었다. 셋째, '주자-율곡-우암-화서'로 이어지는 도통 강화의 일환으로 설정된 화서학파의 구곡 설정은 벽계구곡 탄생의 계기이자 외적 동인이 되었다. 즉, 벽계구곡과 노산팔경은 화서학의 중심이 옥계동으로 건너간 것에 대한 반동, 무이구곡 고산구곡과 옥계구곡의 사이의 결손된 도체공간의 창출 그리고 후손과 지역민에 의한 화서 선양작업 등 일련의 전략적 지향성과 흐름을 같이 한다. 넷째, 화서의 주리론적 관점에서 살펴보면, 그가 경영한 벽원(蘗園)의 모든 경역은 '실제로 존재하는 산수경치의 물상[氣]'을 통해 리(理)의 내재함과 심미적 자아의 허령(虛靈)한 경계를 체험하는 공간작법으로 존재했음을 알 수 있다. 이러한 점은 벽계구곡이나 노산팔경을 화서와 연관된 영역으로 조명하기 이전에, 벽원 고유의 경관성을 규정짓고 나아가 어떤 방식으로 접근하고 향유해야 하는지를 일깨워 준다. 다섯째, 노산팔경은 벽계구곡 중 노문리 벽계 일원 중에서도, 화서가 강학하고 소요하던 여덟 곳의 경승을 담는 곡중경(曲中景)의 문화경관으로 구성되었으나 화서가 남긴 바위글씨와 시문에 의존해 집경됨으로써 벽계구곡에 비해 내적 충일성은 확보되지만 집경에 따른 개념적 타당성에는 다소의 의문이 남는다.

본 연구에서 수행한 Model 시뮬레이션에 의한 열환경 분석 기법은 지역별로 다양한 기상여건 하에서 대상온실의 난방 및 냉방부하를 보다 합리적으로 예측할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 냉방이나 난방용 시스템의 결정을 비롯한 난방대책을 수립하고, 에너지 이용 전략의 수립이나 계절적인 작부계획 수립, 온실산업용 적지선정 등에 유익하게 활용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 온실의 적극적인 환경조절 유형을 난방과 냉방의 두 가지로 대별하고, 난방 소요열량 산정을 비롯하여 야간의 보온 커튼효과, Heating Degree-Hour 산정 등 난방과 관련된 시뮬레이션은 동적 모형을 이용하여 시간별, 일별 및 월별로 검토하였으며, 환기를 비롯한 차광, 증발냉각시스템의 효과 분석은 정적모형을 이용하여 검토하였다. 특히 하절기 지하수와 같은 저온수를 직접 이용하거나 Heat Pump를 통하여 확보될 수 있는 저온수를 이용하여 온실의 피복면에 살수함으로서 확보할 수 있는 온실냉방효과를 검토하는 데는 1.2m$\times$2.4m 크기의 모형온실을 제작하여 기초실험을 수행함으로서 동절기의 수막시스템의 보온효과와 마찬가지로 하절기 냉방 효과를 거둘 수 있다는 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에 활용된 온실의 수치 환경모형 중 난방관련 시뮬레이션용 동적 수치모형은 소기의 목적을 달성하는데 충분히 응용될 수 있는 이론모형이다. 이 이론모형이 범용성이 높은 것은 온실 내ㆍ외의 미기상 변화, 특히 난방이나 냉방이 본격적으로 요구되는 기간동안에 온도, 습도, 일사, 풍속 등의 미기상 인자들을 면밀하게 관찰하여 실측된 자료를 바탕으로 개발되었고, 다양한 자료에 의해 충분히 검정되었기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 경남 진주지역의 어느 특정 기간(1987년)의 시간별 기상자료를 중심으로 온실의 열적 환경변화에 대한 수치모형 시뮬레이션을 실시하였으며, 아직 수치모형에 의한 시뮬레이션이 불가능한 일부 냉방효과를 검토하는 데는 모형 실험을 실시하였으며, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 주간과 야간의 설정온도를 달리하고 다단계 변온조절방식으로 시뮬레이션을 행한 결과 난방 소요열량은 난방 설정온도에 따라 현저한 차이를 보였다. 특히 주간 설정온도에 비하여 야간 설정온도가 난방 소요열량에 예민하게 영향을 미치므로 야간의 설정온도 결정에 신중을 기해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 2. 기존의 Heating Degree-Hour 자료는 평균 외기온을 중심으로 임의의 설정온도에 대하여 산정된 값이므로 난방 소요열량에 대한 상대적인 비교수단은 되나 고려되는 기상인자의 제한과 설정온도의 임의성 때문에 실용성이 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시된 것처럼 온실 주변의 제반 미기상 인자나 경계조건이 반영됨은 물론 작물의 생육상태 및 구체적인 설정온도까지도 고려하는 동적 수치모형으로 시시각각으로 예측된 실내기온을 중심으로 재배기간 동안의 난방열량을 적산함이 합리적이라 판단된다. 기존의 MDH 자료로 난방 설계를 할 경우에는 지나치게 과잉설계 될 가능성이 있다. 3. 산정된 난방 소요열량은 물론 커튼의 보온성능도 월별 기상여건에 따라 현저한 차이를 보이며, 시뮬레이션에 이용된 커튼의 경우 높은 보온효과를 보임으로서 년 평균 50% 이상의 난방 에너지를 절감할 수 있으며, 동절기 3-4개월의 집중 난방기에 에너지가 크게 절감됨을 발견할 수 있다. 4. 고온기 환기성능은 온실의 구조, 기상조건, 작물의 생육상태 등에 따라 다소의 차이가 있으나 환기율에 의해 크게 좌우되며, 시뮬레이션에 이용된 두 가지 농가보급형 온실 모두 환기율의 증가에 따른 실내기온의 강하 효과가 환기율이 1회/min 정도를 넘어서면서 급격히 둔화되는 현상을 보인다. 이는 기존에 권장되고 있는 적정 환기율인 1회/min 전후의 환기 시스템을 갖추는 것이 합리적임을 확인해 준다. 5. 작물이 성숙된 유리온실에서 외기의 상대습도가 50%인 쾌청한 주간동안 연속적으로 1회/min로 환기를 시킬 경우 실내기온 36.5$^{\circ}C$의 대조구에 비한 온도강하는 50% 차광만 했을 시 2.6$^{\circ}C$이고 효율 80%의 Pad ＆ Fan 시스템만 작동시 6.1$^{\circ}C$ 정도이며, 차광과 냉각시스템을 동시에 작동시는 약 8.6$^{\circ}C$로서 외기온보다 3.3$^{\circ}C$가 낮은 28$^{\circ}C$까지 실내온도를 낮출 수 있으나, 동일 조건하에서 외기의 상대습도가 80%로 높은 경우에는 Pad ＆ Fan시스템에 의한 온도강하가 2.4$^{\circ}C$에 불과하여 50% 차광하에서도 외기온 이하로 실내온도를 낮출 수 없음을 알 수 있다. 6. 하절기 3개월(6/1-8/31)동안 Pad ＆ Fan 시스템의 냉방효과($\Delta$T)는 설정된 작동 온도에 따라 다소 차이를 보일 것으로 예상되나 본 시뮬레이션에서 설정한 시스템의 작동 온도 27$^{\circ}C$에서 상대습도와의 상관관계는 대략 다음과 같았다: $\Delta$T= -0.077RH＋7.7 7. 전형적인 하절기 주간기상 하에서 경시적 냉방효과를 분석한 결과 환기만으로는 실내기온을 외기온 보다 5$^{\circ}C$ 높게 유지하는 정도가 고작이고, 차광이나 증발식 냉방시스템 만으로는 작물이 성숙한 단계에서조차도 외기온 이하로 떨어뜨리기가 어려우나 차광과 아울러 증발식 냉방을 병행할 경우에는 작물상태에 따라 다소 차이는 있지만 실내기온을 외기온보다 2.0-2.3$^{\circ}C$ 낮게 유지할 수 있음을 발견할 수 있다. 8. 일사가 차단된 27.5-28.5$^{\circ}C$의 외기온하에서 6.5-8.5$^{\circ}C$의 냉수를 온실 바닥면적 1$m^2$당 1.3 liter/min의 유량으로 온실표면에 살수했을 때 실내기온을 외기온보다 1$0^{\circ}C$ 낮은 16.5-18.$0^{\circ}C$ 정도로 낮출 수 있었다. 앞으로 살수 수온(T$_{w}$ )이나 외기온(T$_{o}$ ) 뿐만아니라 살수율(Q)에 따라 온실기온 (T$_{g}$ )에 미치는 상관 관계 T$_{g}$ = f(T$_{w}$ , Q, T$_{o}$ )를 구명하여 지하수 자체 또는 Heat Pump를 이용한 지하수온 이하의 냉수로 온실냉방의 가능성을 구명하는 것이 앞으로의 과제이다.

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.
