기존의 보강토벽체에 주로 이용되어온 steel strict등 고강도 인장보강재는 주변 뒤채움흙에 비해 상대적으로 변형이 작기 때문에, 설계검토시 과강재 자체에서 유발되는 변형의 크기에 대해서는 크게 유의할 필요가 없었다. 그러나 비교적 저강도인 섬유보강재의 경우, 한계상태에서 예상되는 섬유보강재 자체의 변형량은 주변 뒤채움흙의 소성변형 유발에 필요시 되는 변형량을 종종 초과하게 되며, 이와같은 크기의 과도한 변형량은 보강토벽체 구조체 자체의 안정성 확보 측면에서 허용할 수 없는 경우가 대부분이다. 결국 보증토벽체 구조체의 전면부 발생변위에 대한 일반적인 허용조건을 충족하기 위해서는, 극한강도 보다 훨씬 작은 크기의 강도가 섬유보강재의 경우 발휘하는 것으로 보아야 할 것이며, 따라서 최종적인 구조체 안정검토를 위해서는 보강재 자체의 예상변형량에 대한 평가가 섬유보강재의 경우 특히 중요시 된다. 보강재의 인장응력 -변형률 관계는 강보강재의 경우 선형탄성거동으로 가정할 수 있으나, 섬 유보강재의 경우에는 일반적으로 비 선형거동을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 쌍곡선 함수를 이용하여 섬유보강재의 비선형 거동특성을 모델링하였으며,또한 뒤채움흙 다짐으로 인한 유발응력등을 고려하기 위해 Ehrlich SE Mitchell, Duncan등이 제안한 방법을 수정하여 섬유 보강토벽체의 안정 해석법을 제시하였다. 본 안정 해석법 에서는 침투수압의 영향 및 뒤채움흙의 구속효과에 따른 섬유보강재의 부분적인 상대강성 변화 등을 고려하였으며, 이를 토대로 깊이별 각 섬유보 강재의 최대인장력 및 변형량 등의 예측이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 제시하리라 하는 안정해석법의 적용성을 위해, paraweb polyester fibre multicord, non-woven polyester 지오텍스타일 및 knitted polyester 지오그리드 등 3가지 종류 보강재의 인장응력-변형률 관계 실험결과를 회귀분석하여 쌍곡선 함수형태로 이와같은 섬유보 강재의 비선형거동을 모델링하였다. 또한 이를 토대로 한 븐 연구 해석법의 적합성 검토를 위해, Ho & Rowe가 제시한 유한요소해석결과 및 LCPC, FHWA등에서 시행한 시험결과와 깊이별 각 섬유보강재의 최대인장력,변형량 및 지점별 변형률 등에 대해서도 비교하였다. 아울러 섬유 보강재의 상대강성, 뒤채움흙의 깊이별 구속효과의 정도, 다짐정도 및 침투수압 등이 각 섬유보강재의 변형량 및 전체적인 변형형태 등에 미치는 영향을 종합적으로 분석하였다.

연구 목적: 본 연구에서는 임플란트 경부 디자인의 측면에서 미세나사, 치은 관통부의 곡면 디자인 적용 및 경부 역사면 부여효과를 직접 비교하여 정량적인 평가를 하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 직경 4.1 mm, 길이 10 mm 의 매립형 (submerged) 고정체 (Dentis Co., Daegu, Korea)를 기본 형상으로 설정하였다. 실험 모델로는 대조 모델의 경부 주위, 즉 치은 관통부/지대주 체결 방법에 변화를 준 다섯 가지 경우로 설정하였다 (실험 모델 I: 경부측 3 mm에 높이 0.15 mm, 피치 0.3 mm의 미세나사 (microthread)가 가공된 모델, 실험 모델II: 실험 모델 I 과 동일한 고정체이나, 매립형이 아니라 1-stage 형 (internal type) 디자인을 가진 미세나사가 가공된 모델, 실험 모델 III: 매식부 나사산은 대조 모델과 동일하나 1-stage 형 경부 디자인을 가지는 미세나사가 가공되지 않은 모델, 실험 모델 IV: 일체형 (one piece system) 임플란트로 치은 관통부에 3 mm 직경의 만곡 (concavity)형상을 갖는 모델, 실험 모델 V : 매식부 나사산 및 지대주는 대조 모델과 동일하나 고정체 platform 가장 자리에 높이 1 mm 의 역사면 (reverse bevel)을갖는모델). 유한요소해석을 위해 PC용으로 출시된 상용 프로그램인 NISA II/Display III (EMRC, Troy, MI, USA)를 사용하여, 축대칭으로 임플란트/악골 조합을 모델링하였다. 고정체 형상은 동일하나 경부 (및 치은 관통부) 디자인에 차이가 있는 여섯 종의 임플란트 (대조 모델 + 다섯 종 실험 모델)를 9 mm 폭경의 악골에 식립하고 임플란트 장축에 대해 30도의 각도를 갖는 100 N의 하중을 받는 조건으로 임플란트/골 복합체의 응력을 해석하였다. 결과:실험 모델 I과 실험 모델 IV에서 변연골 응력이 약간 낮았으나 실험 모델 II, III, 실험 모델 V는 대조 모델보다 변연골 응력이 높았다. 최대 절점응력이 기록된 임플란트로부터 0.2 mm 떨어진 위치에서의 응력은 실험 모델 III에서 21.11 MPa로 가장 높았고 실험 모델 II와 실험 모델 V는 비슷한 수준으로 각각 18.39 MPa, 17.88 MPa이었으며 실험 모델 I, IV는 대조모델의 15.09 MPa 보다 약간 낮은 14.78 MPa, 14.63 MPa 였다. 결론: 경부의 미세나사와 치은 관통부의 곡면 (concavity) 부여가 변연골의 응력집중 방지에 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 임플란트 주변 골흡수 양상의 차이가 임플란트와 주변골의 응력 분산에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 수평 골흡수와 임플란트 주변 수직 골흡수에 있어서 주변골의 응력분산, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력분산의 변화 관계 및 병적인 골흡수시의 주변골 응력분포를 유한요소 분석법을 사용하여 비교하고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법:우측 제1 소구치 전방에서 제2 대구치 후방까지의 하악골 모형에서 자연치를 제거하고 직경 4.0 mm, 길이 10.0 mm의 나사형 임플란트를 제1 대구치 부위에 식립하였다. 수평 수직 골흡수의 차이를 보기 위하여 골흡수가 나타나지 않은 형태를 대조군 (I)으로 하여, 1.5 mm 수평 골흡수 (H1.5), 3.0 mm 수평 골흡수 (H3.0) 모형과 이에 상응하는 수직 골흡수 모형 (VW1.5; 1.5 mm, VW3.0; 3.0 mm)을 설계하였고, 생물학적 폭경의 형성과 응력 변화를 관찰하기 위해 생물학적 폭경이 형성되는 과정을 가정한 모형(B0; 피질골에서 임플란트와의 골유착이 없이 밀접하게 접촉된 상태, B1; 피질골에 0.5 mm 폭의 수직 골흡수가 발생한 상태)과 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태 (B2)의 모형을 설계하였으며, 생물학적 폭경이 형성된 상태는 0.5 mm 폭을 가지며 임플란트 장축에 경사진 형태를 가지고 있는 1.5 mm 깊이의 수직 골흡수 상태로 형성하였다. 병적 골흡수 상태는 수직 골흡수를 가정한 기존 모형 (VW1.5, VW3.0)과 골흡수가 더 진행된 VW4.5, 기저부에 피질골화가 이루어지지 못한 VO3.0, VO4.5, VO6.0모형을 추가하였다. 하중조건은 수직, 수평하중 그리고 협측 $45^{\circ}$경사하중을 각각 100 N씩 임플란트 보철물 부위에 가하였다. 결과: 분석결과 수평 골흡수와 수직 골흡수에 있어서 전반적인 응력의 크기와 임플란트에 가해지는 응력의 크기는 서로 대응하는 모형에서 유사하였으며, 수직 골흡수에 서 수직력을 받을 때 C2에서 C4로 1.5 mm의 골흡수가 증가하였으나 골에서 발생한 최대응력은 오히려 감소하였다. 수직 골흡수에서 응력이 결손부의 수직 벽을 통해 상부로 분산되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 생물학적 폭경 형성 단계에서 응력이 가해지는 경우 피질골에서의 결합이 없는 A2에서 피질골 전반에 높은 응력이 발생하였으며 생물학적 폭경의 완성을 가정한 B1에서는 임플란트와 피질골의 경계에서 발생한 응력이 경사진 피질골을 따라서 퍼져나가고 있음을 보였다. 병적 골흡수에서 골결손부 하방에 피질골이 없는 경우는 골흡수에 비례하여 응력이 증가 하였으나 피질골이 있는 경우에는 응력의 증가가 골흡수량의 증가와 비례하지 않음을 보였다. 결론: 임플란트 주변 골흡수의 양이 같아도 흡수된 형태에 따라 발생하는 응력의 크기와 응력분산이 다르게 나타났으며 초기 골흡수 현상은 피질골과의 결합이 약할 때 이 부위에 응력이 증가되어 나타나며, 이후 응력이 감소되어 평형을 이루는 것으로 보인다. 수직 골흡수가 증가할 경우 피질골의 존재 유무가 응력 분산에 큰 영향을 미치며 피질골이 있는 경우 일정 범위에서 응력의 감소가 나타나 응력분산에 유리한 형태에서 골흡수의 진행을 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

원자력발전소 부품중 안전과 관련된 구조물은 지진하중하에서 그 건전성을 유지하도록 설계되어야 한다. 그중 원자로내부구조물부품은 1차 내진분류에 속하는 것으로써 지진하중하에서의 건전성이 발전소 안전과 경제적인 관점에서 매우 중요하다. 지금까지 이러한 원자로내부구조물의 모델링에 대해서는 여러 사람들에 의해 연구되고 발표되었으나, 본 논문에서는 국내 발전소 중에서 Turn-jey base로 건설되어 이미 가동 중에 있는 영광 1&2호기의 원자로내부구조물에 대한 안전정지지진하의 거동을 Global Beam Model이라는 단순화된 모델을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 모델의 설정을 위해서 주요부품들을 double pendulum의 보요소로 표현하였고, 이들 주요부품들의 특성해석을 범용유한 요소해석 코드인 ANSYS에 의해 구하여 이를 상부 및 하부에서 간격을 갖는 비선형 스프링으로 모델링하였다. 또한 이 비선형 스프링뿐만아니라 원자로용기와 원자로내부구조물부품들 사이의 유체동적현상을 묘사한 유체동력학적 coupling에 의해 pendulum의 보요소를 서로 연결시켜 모델링을 하였다. 가진자료인 안전정지하중은 영광 1&2호기의 원자로용기 지지부에 가해지는 응답스펙트럼을 시간이력함수로 바꾸었으며, 이 모델과 간진 하중을 가지고 비선형해석 code인 KWUSTOSS의 explicit Runge-Kutta-Gills algorithm을 이용하여 적분을 수행하므로써 안전정지지진하의 원자로 내부구조물에 대한 거동을 구하여 이 구조물의 주요부품에 대한 내진검증 및 구조물 내부에 있는 핵연료집합체의 내진 해석을 위한 입력자료를 확보할 수 있었다. 그리고 본 연구에서 사용된 Globa Beam Model의 간편성 및 효율성과 explicit Runge-Kutta-Gills algorithm에 대한 경제성을 확인할 수 있었다.파악되었 다. 그 외에도 '옥외공간이용 편리'(outdoor or recreation convenience)와 ' 이웃만족'(satisfaction with neighbors), 그리고 '주거환경 유형'(building type, building arrangement type)등도 유의한 인과적 관련을 보이므로써, 기존 문헌들이 제시하고 있는 것보다 훨씬 다양한 변수들이 다양한 경로를 통해 거주자 시각만족의 영향인자가 될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 가설 변수의 하나인 '길찾기의 난이 정도'(difficulty of way-finding)와 종 속변수간에 유의한 관련도가 나타나지 않은 이유로 길찾기 변수가 '시각만 족'보다는 거주자의 '안전만족'(safety)과 관련된 변수일 가능성도 아울러 지적되었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터, 주거 계획 및 설계분야 그리고 추후 관 련 연구 분야를 위한 여러 제안들이 제시되었다.에 관한 국가 규격은 국제 규격에서 저술한 바와 같이 특별히 규정된 것이 없고 VDE(Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker: 서독전기기술 협회)와 SAE(Society of Automotive Engi- neers: 자동차 기술자 협회)에서 비교적 활발하고 Jaso(Japanese Automobile Standards Organization: 일본 자동차 표준협회)에서 많이 진행중에 있다. 본 고에서는 자동차의 전자제어에 따른 잡음 발생 요인과 전자파 간섭 관련 자동차 규격과 시험평가 방법에 대해 간단히 소개 하였다.저하에 저해요인으로서가 아니라, 인위적이던 자연적이던 간에 아들만 두면 단산하는 현행의 출산풍토하에서는 남아선호관이 오히려 출산력저하에 결정적으로 작용하고 있다고 하겠다. 태아의 성 판별을 통한 선택적 인공임신중절의 건수는 1990년 한해에

연구 목적: 다양한 물성의 층으로 제작된 마우스가드를 장착하였을 때 치아와 악골에 가해지는 힘의 유한요소 분석을 시행하기 위함이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 연구대상의 모형을 교합기에 장착한 뒤 Signature Mouthguard System (Dreve dentamid GmbH., Unna, Germany)을 이용하여 맞춤형 구강보호장치를 제작하여 장착한 후 두정부에서 경추까지 1.0 mm로 컴퓨터 단층촬영을 시행하였다. 영상을 Cantibio BIONIX 프로그램을 이용하여 3차원 유한요소 모델을 생성한 뒤 HyperMesh 소프트웨어를 이용하여 데이터 분석을 시행하였다. 마우스가드는 층에 따라 다음과 같이 분류하였다. 1. 연질(Bioplast)(SG) 2. 경질(Duran)(HG) 3. 중질(Drufomat)(MG) 4. 연질+중질(SG + HG) 5. 경질 + 연질(HG + SG) 6. 연질 + 경질 + 연질(SG + HG + SG) 7. 경질 + 연질 + 경질(HG + SG + HG) 하중위치는 하악골의 전방 이부(F1), 하악 좌측 제1대구치 하방의 하악체 중앙(F2), 하악각의 전연(F3) 세점으로 하였고 FH Plane에 45도 방향으로 800N, 0.1초의 힘을 가하였다. 통계방법으로는 반복분산분석과 사후분석(다중비교분석(Multiple comparison test) DUNCAN test)을 이용하였다. SPSS 소프트웨어 (Ver.13, SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA)를 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과: 치아와 상악골에서의 응력분포는 모든 하중위치에 대하여 연질층이 하악 치아에 접촉하는 구강보호장치가 적은 응력값을 나타냈으며, 과두에서의 응력분포는 모든 하중위치에 대하여 경질층이 하악 치아에 접촉하는 구강보호장치가 적은 응력값을 나타내었다. 두 연질층 사이에 경질층이 개재된 세층의 구강보호장치가 하중 시 상대적으로 고르게 응력이 분산되는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 상하악 치아에는 연질층이 접촉하고 두 연질층 사이에 경질층을 삽입하는 형태의 구강보호장치가 악안면 외상 시 상대적으로 하중을 분산시키는데 가장 우수하다고 생각된다.

국가관리 간척지내 원예단지 조성에 필요한 기반기술 중에 하나인, 온실기초 연구가 부족한 실정이며 고사양의 PHC파일을 대체하기 위한 대안을 검토하고자 하였다. 지반개량공법 중 심층혼합처리공법(DCM) 적용시 허용지지력과 침하량 산정을 통하여 온실기초 공법으로써의 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 새만금간척지 농생명용지 1공구 지반조사를 통해 지반 특성을 파악하고, Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, Schmertmann 이론식을 적용하여 허용지지력과 침하량을 산정하였다. 직경 800mm를 기준으로, 독립 기초 폭과 길이가 3-6m이고, 기초 심도 3-7m 조건에서 허용지지력과 침하량을 검토하였다. 온실기초 심도가 얕고 콘크리트 매트 간격이 넓을수록 시공비가 절감되는 측면을 고려하여 독립 기초 폭과 길이가 4m, 기초 심도가 3m인 경우가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 독립 기초 폭과 길이가 4m이고, 기초 심도가 3m인 조건에 대한 해석 결과로 허용지지력은 169kN/m², 침하량은 2.73mm로 지지력은 이론식 대비 5.6%의 오차를, 침하량은 62.3%의 오차범위를 나타냈다. 향후, 위 검증된 설계 값을 기준으로 구조 시험과 침하모니터링을 통해 신뢰성을 검증하고자 한다. 그 외 나무말뚝, 헬리컬기초 등 유리온실, 내재해형온실에 적용 가능한 기초 공법과의 비교 검증을 통해 각각의 장, 단점을 파악하고 PHC 파일의 대체 가능 유무를 검토할 예정이다. 이는 온실 유형별 시공 공법을 선정하는데 필요한 기초 데이터로 제시될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

암반으로 구성되어 있는 급경사($65^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$)비탈면이 장기간 안정한 상태로 유지되고 있는 자연현상을 고려할 때, 설계 및 초기 시공 단계에서 위와 유사한 지반 상태로 이루어진 깎기 암반비탈면에 대해 1:0.5(발파암 경사 기준)보다 급한 경사를 적용할 수 있을 것이다. 급경사로 설계 가능한 양호한 연속체 암반비탈면의 안정성을 검토하는 과정에서, 설계실무 측면에서 범용적인 암반강도정수 산정방법이 필요하게 되었다. Hoek 등(2002)이 수정 보완하여 발표한 Hoek-Brown 파괴기준과 GSI분류는 불연속구조의 영향을 충분히 고려한 암반특성화 시스템으로 평가되었으며, 응력변화에 따라 등가 Mohr-Coulomb 강도정수(등면적법)를 산출하는 방법을 제안하였다. 비탈면에서는 등가 M-C 강도정수가 최대구속응력(${{\sigma}^{\prime}}_{3max}$ 또는 수직응력)변화에 따라 민감하게 변화하므로 실무적으로 활용하기에 어려운 점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 양호한 연속체 암반비탈면에 대해 최대구속응력 범위이내에서 범용적으로 적용할 수 있는 강도정수산정방법(등각분할법)을 H-B 파괴기준을 응용하여 제안한다. 등각분할법 강도정수(A)의 타당성 및 적용성을 평가하기 위해, 연구대상 암반비탈면을 기존 실시설계 현장 인근에 있는 급경사 비탈면에서 암석종류별(화성암, 변성암, 퇴적암)로 선정하고, Hoek이 제시한 등가 M-C 강도정수(등면적법)들과 비교 분석하였다. 등면적법 및 등각분할법 등가 M-C 강도정수는 기본적인 자료인 기존 실시설계 현장의 실내 암석 삼축압축시험과 연구대상 암반비탈면의 불연속구조의 특성조사(Face Mapping)를 통해 RocLab 프로그램(H-B 파괴기준을 기본으로 전산화된 지반정수 산정 소프트웨어)을 활용하여 산정하였다. 산정된 등면적법 등가 M-C 강도정수는 상호 연동되어 점착력과 내부마찰각이 아주 크거나($45^{\circ}$ 이상) 작게 나타났다. 등각분할법 등가 M-C 강도정수는 등면적법 등가 M-C 강도정수의 중간 정도이며, 내부마찰각은 $30^{\circ}{\sim}42^{\circ}$의 범위를 보인다. 연구대상 암반비탈면의 등각분할법 강도정수(A)와 기존 실시 설계 현장에서 연구대상 암반비탈면과 유사한 암반상태(동일 등급 RMR)에 적용한 강도정수(B)와 비교 분석하고, 이 지반정수들로 적용한 비탈면 안정해석(한계평형해석과 유한요소해석) 결과를 통해 제안한 등각분할법의 적용성을 간접적으로 평가하였다. A와 B의 강도정수 차이는 10% 정도이다. 한계평형해석 결과(우기 기준), A적용 안전율(Fs)=14.08~58.22(평균 32.9), B적용 안전율(Fs)=18.39~60.04(평균 32.2)이며, 각 동일한 암석종류에 따라 상호 유사하게 나타났다. 유한요소 해석 결과, A적용 변위=0.13~0.65mm(평균 0.27mm), B적용 변위=0.14~1.07mm(평균 0.37mm)으로 매우 유사하다. H-B 파괴기준을 응용하여 등각분할법으로 산출한 지반 정수를 실무적인 전단강도로 적용할 수 있는 적용성 평가에서 유의미한 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

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.

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.

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 authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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

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.

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.
