  • 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 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.

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.

  • Because of differences in thoughts and ideology, our country, Korea has been deprived of national unity for some thirty years of time and tide. To achieve peaceful unification, the cultivation of national strength is of paramount importance. This national strength is also essential if Korea is to take rightful place in the international societies and to have the confidence of these societies. However, national strength can never be achieved in a short time. The fundamental elements in economic development that are directly conducive to the cultivation of national strength can be said to lie in -a stable political system, -exertion of powerful leadership, -cultivation of a spirit of diligence, self-help and cooperation, -modernization of human brain power, and -establishment of a scientific and well planned economic policy and strong enforcement of this policy. Our country, Korea, has attained brilliant economic development in the past 15 years under the strong leadership of president Park Chung Hee. However, there are still many problems to be solved. A few of them are: -housing and home problems, -increasing demand for employment, -increasing demand for staple food and -the need to improve international balance of payment. Solution of the above mentioned problems requires step by step scientific development of each sector and region of our contry. As a spearhead project in regional development, the Saemaul Campaign or new village movement can be cited. The campaign is now spreading throughout the country like a grass fire. However, such campaigns need considerable encouragement and support and the means for the desired development must be provided if the regional and sectoral development program is to sucdceed. The construction of large multipurpose dams in major river basin plays significant role in all aspects of national, regional and sectoral development. It ensures that the water resource, for which there is no substitute, is retained and utilized for irrigation of agricultural areas, production of power for industry, provision of water for domestic and industrial uses and control of river water. Water is the very essence of life and we must conserve and utilize what we have for the betterment of our peoples and their heir. The regional and social impact of construction of a large dam is enormous. It is intended to, and does, dras tically improve the "without-project" socio-economic conditions. A good example of this is the Soyanggang multipurpose dam. This project will significantly contribute to our national strength by utilizing the stored water for the benefit of human life and relief of flood and drought damages. Annual average precipitation in Korea is 1160mm, a comparatively abundant amount. The catchment areas of the Han River, Keum River, and Youngsan River are $62,755\textrm{km}^2$, accounting for 64% of the national total. Approximately 62% of the national population inhabits in this area, and 67% of the national gross product comes from the area. The annual population growth rate of the country is currently estimated at 1.7%, and every year the population growth in urban area increases at a rising rate. The population of Seoul, Pusan, and Taegu, the three major cities in Korea, is equal to one third of our national total. According to the census conducted on October 1, 1975, the population in the urban areas has increased by 384,000, whereas that in rural areas has decreased by 59,000,000 in the past five years. The composition of population between urban and rural areas varied from 41%~59% in 1959 to 48%~52% in 1975. To mitigate this treand towards concentration of population in urban areas, employment opportunities must be provided in regional and rural areas. However, heavy and chemical industries, which mitigate production and employment problems at the same time, must have abundant water and energy. Also increase in staple food production cannot be attained without water. At this point in time, when water demand is rapidly growing, it is essential for the country to provide as much a reservoir capacity as possible to capture the monsoon rainfall, which concentarated in the rainy seaon from June to Septesmber, and conserve the water for year round use. The floods, which at one time we called "the devil" have now become a source of immense benefit to Korea. Let me explain the topographic condition in Korea. In northern and eastern areas we have high mountains and rugged country. Our rivers originate in these mountains and flow in a general southerly or westerly direction throught ancient plains. These plains were formed by progressive deposition of sediments from the mountains and provide our country with large areas of fertile land, emminently suited to settlement and irrigated agricultural development. It is, therefore, quite natural that these areas should become the polar point for our regional development program. Hower, we are fortunate in that we have an additional area or areas, which can be used for agricultural production and settlement of our peoples, particularly those peoples who may be displaced by the formation of our reservoirs. I am speaking of the tidelands along the western and southern coasts. The other day the Ministry of Agriculture and Fishery informed the public of a tideland reclamation of which 400,000 hectares will be used for growing rice as part of our national food self-sufficiency programme. Now, again, we arrive at the need for water, as without it we cannot realize this ambitious programme. And again we need those dams to provide it. As I mentioned before, dams not only provide us with essential water for agriculture, domestic and industrial use, but provide us with electrical energy, as it is generally extremely economical to use the water being release for the former purposes to drive turbines and generators. At the present time we have 13 hydro-electric power plants with an installed capacity of 711,000 kilowatts equal to 16% of our national total. There are about 110 potential dams ites in the country, which could yield about 2,300,000 kilowatts of hydro-electric power. There are about 54 sites suitable for pumped storage which could produce a further 38,600,000 kilowatts of power. All available if we carefully develop our water resources. To summarize, water resource development is essential to the regional development program and the welfare of our people, it must proceed hand-in-hand with other aspects of regional development such as land impovement, high way extension, development of our forests, erosion control, and develop ment of heavy and chemical industries. Through the successful implementation of such an integrated regional development program, we can look forward to a period of national strength, and due recognition of our country by the worlds societies.

  • 연구배경: 압력보조환기로 이탈시 발판 시기는 최소보조압력수준에서 시행하는 것이 추천되고 있다. 그러나 임상에서는 압력보조환기법에 의한 이탈시 기관내 관의 발관을 최소압력보조법에 도달하였다고 판단되는 경우에서도 기관내 관의 재삽관 가능성을 줄이기 위하여 때로는 T-piece 시도를 1 시간 더한 뒤 기관내 관을 제거하는 방법도 시행되고 있다. 이는 환자의 호흡예비력을 좀더 확실하게 검증할 수 있는 장점이 있는 반면, 기관내 관 자체가 높은 기도 저항을 유발하므로 환자의 호흡 일이 증대되어 오히려 이탈이 지연될 가능성도 있다. 본 저자들은 최소압력보조치에서 1 시간 T-piece 추가가 이탈에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자하였다. 연구방법: 1997년 5월부터 1998년 3월까지 서울중앙병원 내과계 중환자실에서 이탈을 시도한 44명을 대상으로 무작위 전향적 연구를 시행하였다. 이탈 대상이 되는 환자는 모두 압력보조환기방법으로 이탈을 진행하고 압력보조수준이 최소압력보조치에 이르면 환자를 무작위로 실험군 (1시간 T-piece 시도)과 대조군(즉시 발관)으로 나누었다. 연구결과: 전체 42회 이탈의 최소압력보조치는 7.6 [${\pm}1.9$, (4-13)] cm $H_2O$였다. 1. 환자들의 기저 상태 : 두 군간 환자들의 총 기계환기 시간, APACHE III 접수, 영양지표, 분당 호흡수, 얕은 숨지수, 호흡, 일 등에서 차이가 없었다. 2. 두 군간 성공률 및 호흡역학의 차이 : 실험군이 55%, 대조군이 70%로 즉시 발관한 군이 성공률이 높으나 통계학적 차이는 없었다 (p>0.05). 재삽관률도 실험군이 18%, 대조군이 20%로 두 군간 차이가 없었다. 실험군에서 1시간 T-piece 시도후 일회호흡 용적, 분당 호흡수, 얕은 숨지수, 호흡 일에서 악화된 소견을 보였으며(P<0.05), 특히 실험군내의 실패군에서는 일회호흡용적, 호흡 일, 압력시간곱의 악화가 심하였다 (P<0.05). 3. 성공군과 실패군 분석 : 전체 성공군에서 총 기계환기 시간이 유의있게 낮았고 ($246{\pm}195$ 시간 대 $407{\pm}248$ 시간, P<0.05), 일회호흡용적은 유의하게 높았다 ($0.43{\pm}0.11$ L 대 $0.35{\pm}0.10$ L). 결 론: 이상의 결과로서 최소압력보조치에서 1 시간 T-piece 추가는 환자의 호흡 일을 증가시키며 이탈 성공률에 있어 최소압력보조치에서 즉시 발관하는 방법에 비하여 차이가 없으므로 압력보조환기 양식으로 이탈을 시도할 때는 최소압력보조치에서 즉시 발관하는 것이 나을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 백수오의 국내 재배활성화와 함께 농가소득을 높이기 위한 기능성 식품소재로서의 우수성을 산업적으로 응용하고자 백수오 추출물의 면역증진 활성을 평가하였다. 낮은 온도에서 액체상태의 추출물을 효과적으로 농축하고 정제하기 위하여 비열처리 공정인 한외거르기를 통해 분자량(MWCO)이 30 kDa인 여과막을 이용하여 고분자 분획물(CWUF>30) 및 저분자 분획물(CWUF<30)을 얻었으며 이를 큰포식세포 활성화를 통한 면역 증진 효과를 알아보기 위해 RAW 264.7 세포를 이용하여 면역활성의 지표가 되는 산화질소(II) 생성량 및 사이토카인인 TNF-${\alpha}$, 인터루킨-6의 생성량을 측정한 결과, 정상대조군(CON)에 비해 CWUF>30을 처리하였을 때 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 세포실험을 통해 면역증강활성이 높은 CWUF>30은 정상동물모델에서 면역기관인 비장 및 흉선의 무게를 증가시켰고 비장세포 유래 림프구 증식도 유의하게 증가시켰다. 이는 CWUF>30의 투여가 비장세포를 증식시키는 mitogen 활성이 있음을 보여주며 외부의 항원에 노출 시 항원에 대한 면역반응을 유도하는 면역세포의 수를 증가시켜 항원에 대한 효과적인 방어에 도움을 줄 것으로 보여진다. 또한 CWUF>30을 투여한 마우스 비장세포(splenocyte)의 Yac-1 세포 살해 정도를 측정한 결과, 200 mg/kg BW의 농도로 CWUF>30을 투여한 마우스의 비장세포는 정상대조군(CON)에 비하여 effector 세포와 target 세포의 비율이 10:1에서 유의적으로 증가하였으며 이는 양성대조군(PC)과 유사한 높은 활성을 보이는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과를 통해 백수오 고분자 분획물(CWUF>30)이 강력한 면역활성 증진효능을 갖고 있으며 각종 바이러스 등 외부 항원들에 대응하여 초기 면역세포를 자극하고 면역매개물질을 생성함으로써 인체의 비특이적 면역반응을 증가시키는데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • Prometryn은 트리아진계 제초제로 일년생 쌍자엽 식물체와 같은 일년생 잡초 제거에 탁월한 효과가 있으나 일부 토양에 약효가 여러 달 지속될 경우 수중계에 스며들어 축적과 이동, 생물학적 농축(biomagnification)등의 심각한 환경문제를 비롯한 수질오염, 야생동물 및 국민건강에 심각한 문제를 일으킬 수 있는 잔류물질이다. 최근 국내에서 중국산 바지락 및 그 가공품에서 prometryn의 검출이 보고된 바 있어 이에 대한 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하기 때문에 바지락 중의 prometryn 분석법 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 수산물 중 바지락을 시료로 사용하였다. 시료를 아세토니트릴로 추출하고 농축한 다음 20% 아세톤 함유 헥산을 첨가하여 용해하였다. 이 용액을 florisil 카트리지로 정제한 후 농축하여 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 기기분석은 SIM 모드로 m/z 241 이온에 대하여 정량하였고, LOQ는 0.04 mg/kg으로 계산되었으며, LOQ, $2{\times}LOQ$ 농도에서의 회수율 및 분석오차가 각각 84.0-98.0%, 3.1-7.1%로 분석되어 Codex 가이드라인 규정에 만족하였다.

  • 폐기물 매립시설은 침출수의 발생 및 누출로 인하여 인근 지표수나 지하수의 오염을 초래할 수 있기 때문에 각별한 관리가 요구된다. 침출수는 차수층의 설치로 인하여 외부로 누출되지 않으나, 매립 중 날카로운 폐기물이나 매립장비로부터 차수층이 손상 받을 우려가 있기 때문에 차수층을 보호할 수 있는 시설이 필요하다. 국내에서는 1999년에 폐기물관리법이 개정되면서 폐기물 매립시설 사면부 위 토목합성수지라이너를 보호하고 침출수를 원활하게 배수시키기 위한 보호 및 배수층의 설치를 의무화하였으며, 차수층을 보호하는 동시에 침출수를 신속히 배수시켜 줄 수 있는 기술들이 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 배수망에 투수성이 우수한 충진재를 삽입하는 방법을 착안하여 폐기물 매립시설 사면부 차수층 위에서 침출수 집배수 및 보호층(Leachate Collection Removal and Protection System, LCRPs)으로서 Geo-Multicell-Composite(GMC)의 적용가능성을 알아보기 위하여 침출수의 배수기능과 차수층의 보호기능에 대하여 연구하고자 한다. GMC의 수평투과능계수를 측정한 결과 $8.0{\times}10^{-4}m^2/s$로 법적기준을 만족시켰다. 또한 GMC의 충진재로 사용된 쇄석은 수직투수계수가 5.0cm/s, 꿰뚫림강도는 140.2kgf로 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. GMC 모형시실에서 인공강우를 통한 강우배출실험 결과, 최대유량인 1120L/hr로 살포시에도 표면 유출수 없이 약 92 ~ 97%가 침투되었다. 추후에는 충진재로 사용된 쇄석 대신 재활용골재 등을 사용하여 재활용골재의 활용성 증가와 그로 인한 시공비용 절감의 효과에 대한 연구가 기대된다.

  • 본고(本稿)는 선거가 선거기간을 전후해서 어떻게 경제에 충격을 주고 이러한 충격의 여파로 경제는 선거후에 어떻게 영향을 받는지를 "베이지안" 벡터자기회귀모형(自己回歸模型)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 계수(係數)를 수정하면서 선거기간에 대해 예측을 할 경우의 예측오차의 평균으로 선거의 충격효과를 계산해 보면 선거는 선거전, 선거분기 및 선거후분기에 본원통화(本源通貨), 물가(物價), 생산(生産), 이자율(利子率), 투자(投資) 등에 상당한 충격을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 과거의 선거(選擧), 특히 80년대 이후 선거중에는 대체로 현금통화(現金通貨) 및 본원통화(本源通貨)가 선거 기간중 증가하고 선거후 환수된다. 이에 따른 유동성(流動性)의 변화(變化)로 금리(金利)는 선거기간중 약간 하락하고 선거후 다시 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 선거기간중(選擧期間中) 생산(生産) 및 고용(雇傭)은 선거에 따른 운동원차출(運動員差出) 및 조업감소(操業減少) 등의 영향으로 감소하나, 선거후에는 선거중의 생산감소(生産減少)를 상쇄(相殺)할 만큼 증대(增大)하는 것으로 나타났다. 선거(選擧)에 따른 물가(物價)의 충격(衝擊)은 주로 선거전분기에 나타났다. 이러한 과거의 선거기간중의 양태가 1992년의 각 선거에서 되풀이되고 총선과 대통령선거가 실시될 경우를 가상해서 그 효과를 시산(試算)해 보면 선거(選擧)로 인한 상당한 유동성증대(流動性增大)가 본원통화를 중심으로 예상되는 가운데, 소비자물가(消費者物價)가 1992년중 약 2%포인트, 1993년에 2.5%포인트 상승할 것으로 나타났다. 반면 선거로 인한 소비증대(消費增大)나 생산감소(生産減少) 등의 효과는 상대적으로 작을 것으로 예상되는 한편, 자금흐름의 왜곡이 발생하여 유동성이 증가했음에도 불구하고 생산자금은 압박을 받게 되어 투자(投資)가 부진해질 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이러한 선거의 효과는 1992년중 지방자치단체장선거가 실시될 경우 크게 확대된다.

  • 만경강 상류 유역의 수질 오염 실태를 조사한 결과 요약하면 다음과 같다. 3월부터 8월 사이의 수온은 $6.4{\sim}30.8^{\circ}C$로 나타나, 기온에 영향을 받았지만 수심과 유속에도 크게 영향을 받은 것으로 조사되었다. 수질의 pH는 $5.9{\sim}9.7$ 범위었으며 용존산소량 (DO)은 4.60, 생물학적 산소요구량 (BOD)은 $0.1{\sim}11.8\;mg/L$이었다. 수질중 질소원의 검출량은 전질소함량이 $1.19{\sim}10.61\;mg/L$, $NO_3-N$$1.0{\sim}5.93\;mg/L$, $NH_4-N$$ND{\sim}2.79\;mg/L$이었다. 전인의 함량은 $ND{\sim}1.14\;mg/L$, 염소이온함량은 $3.5{\sim}196.4\;mg/L$로 나타났다. Fe와 Mn의 검출량은 각각 $0.002{\sim}0.100\;mg/L$, $ND{\sim}0.04\;mg/L$이었다. Cd 검출량은 $ND{\sim}0.03\;mg/L$, Cu의 검출량은 $ND{\sim}0.05\;mg/L$, Zn은 $0.001{\sim}0.17\;mg/L$로 나타났으나, Pb은 전체시료에서 검출한계 이하이었다. 수질 분석 항목중 상당수의 시료가 기준치를 초과한 항목은 pH, T-N, T-P이었으며 전체적인 오염 상태는 갈수기인 6월의 경우가 8월보다 높았으며 갈수기의 경우에는 지역별로 물의 이동이 거의 없었기에 지역에 따라 수질의 오염상태가 현저히 달랐으며 지역별로는 오염정도가 가장 높았던 지역은 공장폐수가 많이 유입되는 삼례교유역의 수질로 나타났다.

  • 수확량 모니터링 시스템의 개발은 미국에서부터 시작되어 점차 발전되어 왔으며, 현 시점에서 가장 활발하게 이용되고 있는 정밀농업 기술 중 하나이다. 수확량 모니터링 시스템 개발과 함께 이루어져야 할 것이 수확량 정보의 공간변이성 해석이다. 본 실험은 논 포장에서의 수확량의 공간변이성과 한계수확량 및 수분함량이 수확량에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하며 수행되었다. 2002년 10월 서울대학교 부속 실험농장 소재의 두 기계 이앙 재배 답작 포장(0.2 ha)과, 전북 김제 만경평야 소재의 두 직파재배 포장(0.4 ha)에서 구획별 수확량 정보를 획득한후 각 포장별로 통계분석을 통해서 포장 내의 수량변이를 조사 및 해석하였다. 그리고 각 포장의 수확작업 시 구획별로 샘플을 획득하여 수분함량을 측정한 후 수분함량 보정전과 보정후의 수량을 비교 분석하고, 수분함량과 수확량에 대한 비교 분석과, 수분함량 지도를 작성하여 수확량 지도와의 비교를 통해 수분함량과 수확량간의 관계를 조사하였다. 정확한 수확량 지도 작성을 위해서는 샘플링 간격을 최소화하는 것이 효과적일 것이나 콤바인의 예취 폭과 포장면적을 고려하여 조절해야 할 것이다. 수확량 정보를 얻을 때 한 구획의 넓이는 포장 면적에 따라서 조절이 가능하겠지만 가로 세로 길이로 봤을 때 5 m이상 15 m이하가 적당할 것으로 판단되었다. 변량시비 처리가 실시된 포장의 경우 같은 조건에서 일반시비로 재배된 포장에 비해서 수량은 비슷하나 변이는 적게나타남을 알 수 있었다. 각 포장내의 변이의 크기는 일반적으로 평균 수확량의 절반이상의 편차를 보이고 있으므로 포장내의 지점별 수획량의 변이는 상당하다고 판단할 수 있다. Sensor를 이용한 수확량 측정에서는 위에서 나타난 값으로 보았을 때 최소 300 kg/10a 이하에서 최대 1000 kg/10a 이상까지 측정이 가능하도록 설계되어야 할 것이다. 수분함량은 한 포장 내에서의 변이가 큰 편은 아니었고 공간의존성도 크게 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 포장간의 변이는 수확 전의 기상상황에 따라서 차이가 나타나게 된다. 수분함량 자체의 포장 내 변이가 크지 않으므로 수확량의 공간의존도에 대한 변화는 크지 않았다.
