한반도 경상분지의 백악기 화성활동은 지체구조의 변화에 기인하여 광화시기를 달리하는 두 가지 유형의 특징적인 비철금속 광상구인 함안-군북-고성(-창원) 및 의성 광상구를 형성하였다. 함안-군북-고성(-창원) 광상구에서 동-철(-금) 광화작용의 광화시기는 89∼81 Ma이고, 이와 관련된 열수계는 광화초기 고염농도(20∼55 equiv. wt. % NaCl)의 고온성(300∼50$0^{\circ}C$) 광화유체의 특징을 보이고 있으며, 광화초기에 정출된 석영의 산소 동위원소비(${\delta}^{18}O$)는 마그마수의 영역에 해당하지만, 광화 후기에는 마그마수 유입량의 감소와 함께 점차 천수의 유입량 증가에 의한 희석 및 혼합양상에 기인하여 상대적으로 낮은 동위원소값을 보이고 있다. 이러한 열수계는 반암형 동광상에서 특징적으로 나타나는 광화유체의 진화과정과 매우 유사한 경향을 보이고 있다. 반면, 의성 광상구에서의 다금속 광화작용의 광화시기는 78∼60Ma(주광화기 약 70∼65Ma)이고, 이와 관련된 지열수계는 전반적으로 저염농도(1∼7 equiv. wt. % NaCl)의 중ㆍ저온성 광화유체(200∼40$0^{\circ}C$)에서 형성되었으며, 맥상 석영에서 나타는 ${\delta}^{18}O$값은 동위원소적으로 마그마수에 비하여 상대적으로 낮은 값을 지시하여 광액 형성시 마그마수의 기여도가 극히 미약하였음을 지시한다. 경상분지에서 비철금속 광상의 성인은 남서부 함안-군북-고성(-창원) 광상구에서 천부 관입 화강암체와 관련된 근지성 환경의 동-철(-금) 광화작용과 북서부 의성 광상구에서 화산활동이 우세한 원지성 환경의 다금속 광화작용으로 구분할 수 있으며, 이러한 광화작용의 차이는 광화시기를 달리하는 관계화성암의 시(${\cdot}공간적 차이에 기인한다.

박물관의 교육적 기능이 강조되고 있다. 박물관은 특별전이나 다양한 교육활동을 통해 적극적으로 그 활동영역을 넓혀나가야 한다. 박물관은 전시회를 통해 존재의 이유를 증명하고 이에 대한 지원을 호소할 수 있는 것이다. 이러한 활동을 통해 대학박물관은 대학 내의 박물관의 역할과 존재의 이유를 대학구성원들에게 인식시키고, 다양한 활동을 통해 대학 내의 박물관의 위상을 높여나가야 한다. 그것이 현실적으로 어려운 대학박물관이 제자리를 찾는 길일 수도 있다. 특히 예산이 어려운 상황에서 해외로 눈을 돌려보는 것도 학교와 박물관을 홍보하고 우리 문화의 우수성을 해외에 홍보하는 좋은 기회가 될 것이다. 해외 전시를 통해 선진 박물관들의 시설, 활동 등 다양한 부분에서 벤치마킹을 할 수 있고, 세계 여러 나라 박물관들과 교류함으로써 박물관 학예업무뿐 아니라 네트워크를 만들어 향후 국제적인 활동에도 활용할 수 있다. 고려대학교 박물관의 사례를 통해 해외 전시의 기획과 진행에 대하여 소개하여 향후 대학박물관의 활동영역의 개척에 도움이 되기를 기대한다. 이러한 해외 전시 이외에도 한국국제교류재단은 그동안 해외에 한국문화예술을 체계적으로 소개하고 알리는 항구적인 공간을 마련하고자 해외 유수 박물관을 대상으로 한국실 설치를 지원해오고 있다. 그동안한국국제교류재단이 지원하는 한국실 설치에는 주로 국립중앙박물관이 유물대여에 앞장서 왔다. 100여개의 기관을 회원으로 보유하고 있는 한국대학박물관협회가 소장품을 대여하여 외국박물관의 한국실 설치에 적극적으로 참여하는 것도 대학박물관 발전을 위해 추진해 봄 직한 일로 생각된다. 이렇듯 한국실 설치에도 관심을 가지는 것은 외국의 박물관과의 일회성의 교류가 아닌 지속성을 지닐 수 있는 점이 매력적인 요소가 아닐 듯싶다. 십여 년 전부터 이슈화되고 있는 지역화, 세계화 문제는 대학박물관이라고 예외일 수없는 현실이다. 이러한 현실에서 대학박물관도 문화의 세기라고 하는 이 시대를 헤쳐 나갈 준비를 하고 있는가를 되돌아보아야 할 시점인 것이다.

This, an association research for design-improvement and model-development of exhibition shops at rural tourism communities, is to secure objective data by analyzing customers' awareness-tendency of and demand for agricultural-specialty exhibition shops. Survey-questions for finding out consumers' awareness-tendency and demand were determined through brainstorming of a professional council, 30 rural communities of which visit-rate by consumers is considerably high were selected for the recruit of 200 consumers. For investigation and analysis, survey and in-depth interview were carried out at the scene with the application of frequency analysis and summarization of their opinions, which revealed that they have a strong will to visit the rural tourism communities for the purchase of agricultural specialties along with the experience of learning-program and on-the-scene direct dealing and that their viewpoint on the direct dealing at the scene was very positive. Also it was confirmed hat their satisfaction with the purchase of agricultural specialties by on-the-scene direct dealing, their pleasure at the purchase, their satisfaction with services and their intention for re-purchase of them were very high while their satisfaction with the exhibition shops was very low. With on-the-scene survey, the consumers' opinions could be listened to in depth. Almost all of them said their satisfaction with the trip to those rural tourism communities was considerably high since they could go to those communities themselves to relieve the stress from their modern life, to experience healing and to see the goods on the scene. Their satisfaction also was attributed to the fact that they have enough trust in purchase along with feeling the warm-heartedness of rural residents. As to their awareness of exhibition shops, they showed a positive response to the on-the-scene direct dealing at rural communities while they, thinking that the space in those exhibition shops was not sufficiently wide, demanded for more systematic counters in more accessible and affordable exhibition shops so that they might be more satisfied with the exhibition shops. Their demand for the necessity of exhibition shops selling agricultural specialties was found to be over 80%, which indicates that the necessity is very high. As to the suitability of function, they have the opinion that the business at those shops had better be focused on sales since they have the understanding of information when they take a trip to the rural communities, while there was another opinion: since agricultural products are seasonal items they should be exhibited and sold at the same time. More than 90% of the respondents had a positive viewpoint on direct dealing of agricultural specialties on the scene, which showed that their response to it was very high. They preferred the permanent shops equipped with roll-around table-booths. In addition, it was revealed that they want systematic exhibition shops in rural communities because they frequent those communities for on-the-scene direct purchase. The preferred type and opinion resulting from estimation of consumers' demands have been reflected for development of practical designs. The structure of variable principles has been designed so that the types of display-case and table-booth might be created. The result of this study is a positive data as a design model which can be utilized at rural communities and will be commercialized for the verification of its validity.

'마을'은 공동체를 내포하고 있는 개념이다. 마을은 평범한 사람들의 삶이 기획되고 실현되는 곳으로서 일하고 쉬고 즐기는 장인 일상생활의 토대이다. 그러나 우리나라의 경우 식민지와 개발독재로 대변되는 근현대시기를 거치면서 마을공동체는 대부분 해체되었다. 성장위주의 산업화와 도시화는 개인주의, 상실감, 소외감 등으로 드러나게 되었다. 최근 들어 아래로부터의 변혁을 통하여 마을을 복원하고 이렇게 형성된 마을공동체를 통하여 건강한 시민사회를 형성해 나가자는 움직임이 각 마을과 연구자들에 의해 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 배경에서 출발하였다. 마을공동체의 건강한 복원과 지속가능한 운영을 위해서는 마을 구성원들의 일상적 삶의 흔적과 구성원 사이의 관계를 담는 아카이브가 필요하다. 마을공동체 아카이브는 사람과 사람관계는 물론이고 마을의 지역적 특성을 함께 담는 곳이기도 하다. 아카이브는 스스로의 역사를 기록하고, 서로 소통하며, 미래를 만들어가는 공간이 될 수 있기 때문이다. 마을공동체 아카이브는 주체, 대상기록의 특성, 목적, 지향 등 공동체의 정체성을 반영하여 다양한 모델로 만들어지고 운영될 수 있다. 개별 마을공동체 보다는 이들이 네트워크를 형성했을 때 더 중요한 기능과 큰 효과를 낼 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 국가주도의 기록관리와는 다른 다양하고도 창의적인 방법론이 필요하다. 이는 아카이브의 형태에서만 그런 것이 아니라, 아카이브의 기능면에서도 수집, 정리, 분류, 평가, 관리, 활용 등의 전 단계에 걸쳐 철저하게 마을과 마을주민들의 규범과 지향 그리고 현실적 조건이 반영되어야 한다. 마을공동체 아카이브는 개인의 삶을 돌아보는 것을 시작으로, 우리사회의 건강한 공동체 복원과 형성을 위하여, 그리고 사회적 모순에 대하여 아래로부터 극복하는 장이 될 것이다. 또한 기록관리 영역에서는 기존 공공영역 중심의 기록관리를 민간영역으로 기계적으로 전이하는 것이 아니라 새로운 패러다임을 가지고 창조적으로 지평을 넓혀나간다는 의미를 갖고 있다.

본 논문은 현대사회에서 확장하고 변화하는 전시 공간에 대해 알아본다. 이에 따라 관람객과 예술작품들은 어떤 방식으로 변화하고 있는지 살펴보고 그 영향력에 대해 연구한다. 전시 공간이 확대되고 예술의 소통창구가 많아지는 현상은 여러 방면으로 아주 중요한 영향을 미친다. 보통 일반적인 전시의 사전적인 의미는 여러 가지의 물건을 한 장소에 놓고 펼쳐서 보여주는 것이라는 의미를 지니고 있는 단어이다. 이는 전시의 기원이라 하는 전람회에서도 드러나듯이 작품을 한곳에 모아 드러내어 전시하는 형태를 뜻한다. 이처럼 우리가 알고 있는 미술관 형태의 전시 공간은 르네상스(Renaissance)시대부터 형성되었다고 알려진다. 16세기에 시작된 과학혁명과 계몽혁명을 거쳐 이에 따라 전시 공간도 변화하게 된다. 이후 20세기 모더니즘의 이념이 지배적인 시대에 여러 예술적 시도와 개념들이 맞물리게 되며 '흰색'이 가장 작품을 잘 드러내는 색으로 인식되게 된다. 하지만 포스트모더니즘 시대가 오면서 예술가들은 화이트큐브 형태의 공간에 한계를 느끼게 되며 틀을 허물고자하는 다양한 방식의 전시들이 시도되고 다양한 공간에서 다양한 방식의 예술 작품들이 등장하기 시작하였다. 전시공간의 역사는 역사의 흐름에 따라 지속적으로 변화했듯이 빠르게 변화하는 현대사회의 흐름에 맞춰 전시공간과 전시의 형태는 아주 다양하게 나타난다. 이는 시대에 따라 변화하는 관람객의 속도에 발맞춰 관람객과 소통할 수 있는 장소 또한 이에 맞게 변화하며 확장하게 된다. 1960년대에 미술관들은 전환기를 맞게 된다. 60년대에 설치미술이 등장하며 미니멀리즘, 대지미술과 밀접한 관계를 맺으며 장소와 전시공간에 대한 새로운 의미들을 형성해갔다. 신 개념의 전시 공간들의 출현은 과거 귀족사회 모습의 전형이었던 갤러리나 진열장의 전시품들과는 다른 방식으로 새롭게 전시공간의 민주화를 실현해 온 셈이다. 전시공간의 확장에 따라 자연스럽게 수용할 수 있는 예술작품들 또한 예전에 비해 확장된 모습으로 나타난다. 화이트 큐브형식의 공간만을 추구하던 과거에는 그 공간에 적당히 벽에 거는 형식의 페인팅 작품이나, 공간 안에서 수용 가능한 정도의 조각품의 설치가 전부였다면 이전과는 확연히 달라진 작품들을 폭넓게 마주 할 수 있게 되었다. 많은 예술가들은 전시가 갖는 장소의 이동과 작품형태들의 변형을 통해 기존의 체계에서 벗어난 형식으로 새로운 도전을 하고 있다. 이전에 시도 되지 못했던 공공미술 프로젝트들이 자연스럽게 변화하는 전시 공간에 따라 진행 가능한 프로젝트로 이루어지게 되고, 이는 확장된 전시의 공간 뿐 만아니라 이를 수용하는 관람객의 태도에도 많은 변화가 있었기에 가능했을 것이다. 예전방식의 전시에서 보여준 수동적인 모습의 관람객과는 전혀 다른 모습으로 관람객 스스로가 움직이고 그들이 또 다른 관람객들을 불러 모으는 변화된 모습을 보여준다. 전시의 공간이 확장된 만큼 이를 수용하는 관람객의 폭도 확장되고 다양한 계층이 예술을 스스로 향유 할 수 있게 된 것이다. 또한 예술의 의미가 다양해지고 확장되며 그 성격도 달라져 오늘날 예술에는 공공성을 필요로 한다. 전시 공간의 변화와 확장은 언제 어디서든 누구나 예술 감상을 가능하도록 만들고, 예술의 일상적 생활화를 추구한다. 이를 통해 관람객과 예술가 모두의 다양한 감성 회복을 이끌어 내고 있다. 변화하는 관람객들도 다양한 작품과 소통하고, 이러한 소통을 통해 예술 작품들 또한 한정적인 틀에서 벗어나 다양한 모습으로 관람객들에게 다시 전시된다. 관람객들은 예술작품과 언제 어디서든 소통하며 자연스럽게 미술시장, 더 나아가 예술시장에 파급효과를 끼친다. 이러한 파급효과는 예술시장에 활기를 불어 넣고 또 다시 예술창작자에게 좋은 작품을 할 수 있도록 기회를 제공한다. 이처럼 변화하는 전시공간은 예술 시장전체를 아우르는 큰 힘을 갖고 있기에 예술의 흐름 속에서 함께 연결 지어 변화를 살펴보는 것에 이 연구의 의미가 있다.

용주사 <삼세불회도>에 대한 연구는 연대 추정과 양식 분석, 작가 비정, 문헌 해석의 네 가지 핵심 사항이 실증적인 근거와 일관된 논리 아래 모두 일치되도록 정합적으로 설명해야 한다. 그러나 최근의 용주사 <삼세불회도> 연구에서 제기된 19세기 후반 화승 제작설과 1790년에 제작된 원본을 1920년대에 일반화가가 서양화법으로 개채한 것이라는 소론은 실증성과 논리성이 결여되어 성립되기 어렵다. 현존 <삼세불회도>의 축원문(祝願文)은 세자(世子) 책봉을 받지 않은 원자(元子)만 있던 시기였음에도 불구하고 당시의 관습대로 의례적인 삼전(三殿) 축원문을 썼다가 이를 주사로 지우고 다시 "주상전하수만세(主上殿下壽萬歲), 자궁저하수만세(慈宮邸下壽萬歲), 왕비전하수만세(王妃殿下壽萬歲), 세자저하수만세(世子邸下壽萬歲)"라는 특별한 내용과 예외적인 순서로 개서(改書)했는데, 이는 조선후기 불화의 축원문 형식과 내용을 광범위하게 조사하고 정조대 왕실의 전례(典禮)를 면밀히 분석해 볼 때, 현존하는 <삼세불회도>가 1790년의 창건 당시에 그려졌던 원본 진작임을 말해주는 가장 확실한 객관적 근거라고 할 수 있다. 삼세불회도의 형식(形式)과 도상(圖像), 양식(樣式), 미감(美感), 화격(畫格) 등을 18~19세기 불화나 궁중화원 양식과 다각도로 비교분석해 보면 용주사 <삼세불회도>는 1790년경 전후에만 나타나는 특징이 많이 보이기 때문에 축원문(祝願文)에 대한 분석 결과와 일치한다. 특히 18세기 전반까지만 해도 종교적 위상에 따라 존상의 크기가 결정되고 화면 구성도 근하원상(近下遠上)의 고식(古式) 원근법에 따라 관념적, 평면적 조형 위주로 이루어져 왔으나 이 <삼세불회도>는 투시법적 원근법의 논리에 따라 구축된 입체적 공간 속에 존상들을 매우 체계적으로 배치한 뒤 서양화(西洋畫)의 음영식(陰影式) 명암법(明暗法)을 적극적으로 구사하며 흰색 하이라이트와 그림자까지 표현함으로써, 마치 삼세불회(三世佛會)의 장엄한 세계가 눈앞에 실제로 펼쳐져 있는 것 같은 느낌을 준다. 이 투시법적 원근법의 내적 질서와 음영식 명암법의 외적 착시는 골육합체(骨肉合體)처럼 내적으로 긴밀히 연결되어 있는 것이기 때문에 흰색 하이라이트만 떼어내서 후대에 개채된 것이라고 볼 수 있는 것이 결코 아니다. 더구나 이 <삼세불회도> 같은 고도의 서양화법과 높은 화격(畫格)의 창의적 융합은 조선후기 회화사상 김홍도와 이명기, 김득신 같은 정조대의 궁중화원만이 이룩할 수 있는 고도의 양식이자 화격이다. 용주사 주지 등운(等雲)이 창건 이래 용주사에 전해져온 기록을 토대로 『용주사사적(龍珠寺事蹟)』을 정리하며 김홍도가 <삼세불회도>를 그렸다고 기록한 것은 이것이 당시의 역사(歷史)이자 실상이었기 때문이다. 조정의 공식 기록인 『일성록(日省錄)』과 『수원부지령등록(水原府旨令謄錄)』에는 김홍도와 이명기, 김득신이 감동(監董)했다고 기록되어 있지만, 이는 의례 화승(畫僧)들이 그려왔던 불화를 관원 신분의 화원에게 그리도록 하는 것이 엄격한 관직 체제나 운영상 부당한 것이기 때문에 정치적 부담을 피하기 위해 명분상 감동으로 발령한 뒤 실제로는 불화를 직접 그리도록 했던 데서 나타난 결과였다. 영정조대의 어진(御眞) 도사 과정에서 감동으로 불러들인 문인화가 조영석(趙榮祏)과 강세황(姜世晃)에게 국왕이 직접 그릴 것을 요구했던 사례에서 볼 수 있듯이, '감동(監董)'과 '집필(執筆)'은 경우에 따라 경계를 넘나들 수 있는 개념으로서 '감동'이 '집필'을 완전히 배제하는 것은 아니며 겸할 수도 있는 것이다. 그런 점에서 『용주사사적』의 기록은 『일성록』이나 『수원부지령등록』은 물론 황덕순의 「닫집 원문」 기록과도 모순되는 것이 아니라, 행간의 의미를 찾아 복합적으로 읽으면 각각의 맥락과 필요에 따라 동일한 내용의 표리를 다르게 기록해 놓은 것임을 알 수 있다. 이렇게 해석할 때 우리는 용주사 <삼세불회도>의 연대 추정과 양식 분석, 작가 비정, 문헌 해석의 네 가지 핵심 사항을 모두 실증적인 근거와 일관된 논리 아래 정합적으로 설명할 수 있을 것이다.

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

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

The 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.
