The study has tried to analize and appraise how did public library system under the Japanese imperialism affect the establishment and managemant of Korean public libraries. To achieve the purpose of the above-mentioned study, the contents of $\ulcorner$Japanese library statute$\lrcorner$ under Japanese imperialism and the current $\ulcorner$Korean library law$\lrcorner$ have been mutually compared, at the same time, the vestiage of Japanese imperialism in view of the establishment, personnel administration and reading systems have been concretely investigated, analyzed and compared. The conclusions obtained from the above are as followings. 1. In those days of the Korean Liberation, the situation of Korean public libraries was such as it under the Japanese rule and so, their names were only changed. However, as a part of its independent activities, the national library have once carried out the various programs such as the training of professional librarians, the establishment of the new classification schedule and the chief Librarian and deputy Librarian from the professional librarians in the office regulations, and they were well worth being the good examples for today's Korean library circle. Though the Goverment of the Republic of Korea had been formally established, the situation of the library circle was very dull owing to the Korean war for a long time. In 1963, $\ulcorner$The Korean library law$\lrcorner$ was promulgated, but the establishment of public libraries did not give satisfactory results because of the institutional fragility. In the 1980's the importance of library was embossed from the viewpoint of life-long education and the number of libraries was increased. However, there were still the remaining vestiges of Japanese library system in the practical library services. 2. After the Korean Liberation, the influnces of public library system under the Japanese imperialism showed in the office regulation of national library and the Korea library Law were also in the legal mechanism. In particular, the regulations of $\ulcorner$The staff-member of public library$\lrcorner$ and $\ulcorner$Admission fee of public library$\lrcorner$ including the chief librarian have referred to the library system under the Japanese imperialism since the liberation day to date. 3. At that time of the Korean Liberation, the U.S.Military Government Office had decided that the public library administration should be attached to the administration of local and internal affairs in accordance with the Japanese administative system. As a result, the public libraries had been forced to be indirectly affected by public library system under the Japanese imperialism for twenty years since the Liberation. 4. Since the Liberation, the personnel adminstration of public library has been so far on the steps of model under the Japanese imperialism. As the result of the field survey, the position standards of local chief librarians, non-professional character, the extra post system and the preponderant appointment of non-professional offices have analyzed by the influence of Public library system under the Japanese imperialism. Therefore, the Government authorities-concerned must readjust the standards of qualification and the divided duties corresponding to the position of public library staff members and to stipulate expressly in the revised library law. In addition, the regulation of the admission fee should be also actively detected for the free adminssion of library users. 5. Since the Liberation Day, the reading methods of public library have been so far similar to reading method under the Japaness imperialism. For example, the admission fee levied, the complicated procedures of using books including entrance and exit of a library, no-admission system, the limited lending books, the deposit system of outdoor lending books and the surety liable jointly and severally are originally caused by bureaucracy of under the Japanese imperialism. Therefore, the public libraries should make an offer space and opportunities which can enjoy freedom to the gull in future. The procedures and standards of library users will be simplified, if possible. As the above-mentioned, the actual conditions of Korean public libraries have been examined and analyzed. As the result of it, there are still the remaining vestiges of public library system under the Japanese imperialism in the establishment and management of the nation-wide public libraries. Such the remnants are an obstacle to the democratic development of public libraries and so, the authorities-concerned should take the proper-measures as soon as possible.

본 연구는 산지개간상전에 발생하는 발아불량현상의 원인을 구명하고 방제법을 대립코자 1971∼1974년까지 4개년간에 걸처 실시하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 피해증상은 춘기에는 지조의 선단부가 발아를 하지 않거나 발아도중 즉 탈포∼연구기까지 진행되다가 갑자기 말라 죽는다. 발아불량지조의 피층 및 인피부에는 Necrosis 현상이 일어나고 갈색으로 변한다. 추기에는 엽의 노화, 선단엽의 이상, 엽맥, 엽병이 양변한다. 2. 발아불량상전토양은 화강암모재에 점질의 비율이 매우 낮은 사양토로 되어 있으며 하층토가 치밀 견고하고 공극률이 너무 적어서 근군발달에 매우 불량한 토양구조로 되어 있었다. 특히 발아불량극심지의 심토는 건전지에 비하여 고상이 과대하여 한발시에는 수분부족현상이 일어나기 쉬운 조건을 갖추고 있었다. 3. 발아불량극심상전은 건전상전에 비하여 토양수분함량이 유의하게 적었으며 특히 심토의 수분함량은 건전지가 적당한 수분함량을 유지하고 있었는데 반하여 발아불량극심지는 거의 위조점에 가까운 수분함량이었다. 4. 유방토심은 발아불량상전이 건전상전에 비하여 얕았고, 발아불량정도가 기한곳일수록 유방토심은 얕아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 5. 토양수분함량의 경시적변화는 토양내 유방붕소함량에 영향을 미쳤으며 발아불량상전의 수분함량은 건전상전에 비하여 6월 5일부터 9월 5일까지 계속 적은 함량을 유지하고 있었고, 유방붕소함량도 수분함량의 증감과 같은 경향으로 변화되였다. 6. 토양의 pH(4.7-5.6)와 유방붕소함량간에는 상관관계가 없었으나 유기물함량과 유방붕소함량간에는 고도의 정상관관계가 있었다. 7. 토양중 유방붕소함량은 발아불량상전이 0.19∼0.28ppm, 건전상전이 0.34∼0.43ppm으로서 발아불량상전보다 유의하게 많았다. 8. 엽 및 피층내의 붕소함량은 발아불량수가 건전수보다 유의하게 적었다. 9. 사경시험의 붕소결제구에서는 발아불량현상이 유발되었으며 그 피해증상은 포장에서 발생되는 증상과 동일하였다. 10. 석회의 시용은 시용량이 증가할 수록 발아불량현상을 다소 높게하는 경향이 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼때 뽕나무의 발아불량현상은 붕소의 결핍에 기인되나 붕소의 결핍피해정도는 토양모재, 토양내 유기물함량 및 수분함량 그리고 석회시용등에 의해서도 좌우되는 것으로 인정된다. 11. 발아불량현상은 붕사를 10a 당 6∼9kg을 춘, 하2회분시하면 방제할 수 있으며, 10a당2,000kg의 퇴비를 수년간 계속시용하는 방법도 상당한 방제방과를 얻을 수 있다고 믿어진다.

국내의 서양미술 관련 연구 장은 유럽과 미국 도시들과의 불가피한 거리 시간상의 차이로 인해 이미 '그곳'에서 '역사의 보편화 작업'이 종료된 사건들만을 재차 다룰 수밖에 없는 딜레마에 봉착해 있다. 이 같은 사실이 국내의 미술작용에 미치는 영향은 결코 단순하지 않다. 지극히 제한적으로만 원전의 생산과 그에 관련된 조건들에 접근이 허용됨으로써 연구가 피상적 수준에 머물 수밖에 없는 것이 그 한 예이다. 그럼에도 그 같은 피상적 연구들이 국내 미술 장의 어떤 정치, 권력적 문맥 안에서 상대적인 우위를 점함으로써 야기되어온 숱한 문제들이 또한 있다. 서양미술의 흐름과의 관계에서 그간 국내 미술이 보여주었던 과도한 연동성, 곧 '동화와 일치의 메커니즘'은 이 같은 원인이 초래한 결과다. 그럼에도, 국내의 서양미술사, 미술이론 영역의 연구들은 여전히 이 차이의 공간에 내재하는 컨텍스트를 간과함으로써, 결과적으로 서양미술의 '원전적' 정보를 매개하거나 확대 재생산하는 것에 지나지 않는 심각한 존재론적 한계를 노정해왔다. 또 국내의 서양미술사, 미술이론연구는 자신의 학문적 영역을 정당화하는 범주론과 영역주의 안에 거함으로써, 사이 공간에서 야기되는 복잡한 정치권력적 함의들을 독해해내는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이와 같은 현실에서 우리는 서양미술사, 미술이론을 보다 반성적인 학문으로 이끌어야 하는데, 그러기 위해서는 학문으로서 결코 현실에 대해 어떠한 특권적 지위도 가지려해선 안 된다는 사실을 확인해야만 한다. 그러면서 지금 우리의 삶과 존재에 보다 예민하고 긴밀하게 관여하는 학문이기를 소망해야 할 것이다. 국내의 서양미술사, 미술이론연구 장이 다시 인력과 지원의 활발한 움직임들을 끌어들이고, 그들(그것들)과 함께 인간과 문명에 대한 공동성찰의 장으로 나서기 위해서는 객관성이라는 허구와 역사의 기계적이고 중립적인 독해로부터, 그리고 "토론장에서 마른 빵을 먹어치우는" 창백한 관습에서 사건들이 터지고 수습되는 뜨거운 현실로부터 새로이 출발할 수 있어야한다. 그리하여 충돌하는 두 개의 문화권역 사이에 끼어 분열을 경험하는 지식인 특유의 명석함으로 현실을 직시하고, 그 안에서 분별력 있는 선택과 판단에 필요한 조건들을 찾아내야 할 것이다. 예속과 자율의 변증법적인 관계 속에서 새로운 한국미술, 세계미술의 출범이 어떠해야 할 것인가를 끊임없이 제안하는 것, 그것이 서양미술사, 미술연구의 새로운 좌표가 되어야 할 것이다.

애니메이션이 비교적 긴 시간 동안 하나의 예술 장르로서 학문적 관심의 대상이 되었음에도, 예술 장르로서의 애니메이션에 대한 대중들의 인식은 같은 뿌리를 둔 또 하나의 영상 예술인 영화에 비하면 아직까지도 개선을 요구하는 부분이 많다. 영화 이론이 대중에게 영화를 예술의 한 장르로서 각인하는데 밑거름이 된 것을 생각하면, 애니메이션 이론도 폭넓게 연구되어야 하며 애니메이션 미학에서 스크린의 비중이 높은 만큼 시각적 특징에 집중한 애니메이션 미장센에 관한 관심은 당연하다. 미장센은 시각적 요소들이 작품의 주제를 내보이는데 의의를 두며 용어가 쓰이는 예술 분야마다 약간의 의미 차이를 갖는다. 영화 비평에서 시작된 미장센은 미학 표현 개념으로 자리 잡았으나, 영화, 연극, 뮤지컬, 애니메이션 등 영상 및 무대 예술을 넘어 회화나 게임, 패션 등의 예술과 문화 분야에서도 거론되면서 분야별 미장센의 의미에 관한 의견이 분분하며 그 개념이 달리 쓰이거나 확장되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 대중예술로서 애니메이션이 자리 잡기 위한 방안으로 미학연구의 필요성을 주장하며 애니메이션의 시각적 특징이 두드러지는 '미장센'에 중점을 두어 애니메이션의 표면적 예술성에 대해 연구한다. 연구 방법으로 미장센을 하나의 미학 이론으로 확립한 영화와 용어가 처음 쓰인 연극의 매체 특성을 비교해 두 매체의 미장센 특징을 찾고, 이를 애니메이션에 대입하여 애니메이션 미장센의 특징을 알아본다. 또한, 애니메이션 미장센에서 프레임의 시각적 요소가 작가의 의견을 직접적으로 표출한다는 것을 밝히기 위해 제한된 환경에서 만들어진 작가주의 애니메이션의 미장센을 살핀다. 위와 함께, 상업 애니메이션이 특정 집단의 기호에 맞춰 제작된 것을 감안하여 소비에트의 지원 아래 제작된 러시아 애니메이션의 실험적인 제작 방식과 그에 따른 독창적인 미장센을 분석한다. 작품의 소재를 자국의 민담에서 찾은 러시아 애니메이션이 이를 오페라와 발레의 공연 양식으로부터 영향을 받은 공간 표현, 무거운 동화(Inbetweens), 라이브 액션 활용 등의 미장센으로 은유적으로 표현하며 독특한 미학적 세계를 구축한 점을 염두에 두고, 작품의 주제나 작가 의견이 어떠한 외적 장치를 통해 미장센으로 드러나는지 확인한다.

목 적 : 전산화 단층촬영장치는 방사선을 이용한 질병의 진단에 중추적인 역할을 하는 장비이다. 시대의 흐름과 과학기술의 발달로 전산화 단층촬영장치도 그 발전을 거듭해왔고 앞으로도 전산화 단층촬영장치를 이용한 검사는 더욱더 증가하리라 생각된다. 검사의 증가와 함께 산란선에 노출될 기회가 많아질 것이라는 생각 또한 사실이다. 이에 전산화 단층촬영실의 제어실내 환자 보기창 앞과 환자 및 보호자들이 출입하는 출입문 외측 그리고 환자 검사 시 촬영실내에서의 산란선 발생률을 측정하였고 산란선의 피폭을 가장 최소화 할 수 있는 방법을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2001년 11월부터 서울소재 13개 종합병원 및 대학병원에 설치 운용중인 전산화 단층촬영장치 25를 대상으로 하였다. 촬영조건은 피폭선량 측정시 제조업소에서 권고 하고있는 촬영조건을 사용하였고, 이때 피사체는 피폭선량 측정용 DALI CT 피폭선량 측정용 두부용 팬톰(${\phi}16\;cm$ Plexglas)과 복부용 팬톰(${\phi}32\;cm$ Plexglas)을 사용하였다. 산란선의 측정은 환경방사선 측정용 Survey Meter인 Radical Corporation, model $20{\times}5-1800$, Electrometer/Ion chamber, S/N 21740에 Reader(Radiation Monitor Controller model 2026)과 G-M Survey를 이용하였다. 산란선의 측정위치는 전산화 단층촬영실에서 방사선 작업종사자가 주로 활동하는 제어실내 환자 보기창 앞과 환자 및 보호자들이 출입하는 출입문 외측 그리고 피사체 스캔시 등선량중심점(isocenter)으로부터 100 cm되는 지점에서 측정하였다. 결 과 : 각 병원에서 설치 운용중인 전산화 단층촬영실내 작업환경은 해당병원의 상황에 따라 많은 차이를 보이고 있었고 산란선의 발생유무는 다음과 같았다. 1) 전산화 단층촬영장치의 등선량중심점(isocenter)에서부터 제어실내 환자 보기창 사이의 거리는 평균 377 cm이였고 이때 산란선은 거의 검출되지 않은 곳에서부터 약 100 mR/week까지 다양한 분포를 보였으나 주당 허용선량인 $2.58{\times}10^{-5}\;C/kg$(100 mR/week)이내의 조건을 만족하고 있었다. 2) 전산화 단층촬영장치의 등선량중심점(isocenter)에서부터 환자 및 보호자가 출입하는 출입문 외측까지의 거리는 평균 439cm이었고, 이때 산란선은 거의 검출되지 않은 곳부터 다양한 분포를 보였으나 대부분의 병원에서 주당허용선량인 $2.58{\times}10^{-6}\;C/kg$(10 mR/week)이내의 조건을 만족하고 있었다. 3) 피사체를 스캔할 때 등선량중심점(isocenter)에서부터 100 cm되는 곳에서의 산란선량은 장비에 따라 많은 차이가 있었다. 결 론 : 진단용 방사선발생장치에서 전산화 단층촬영장치의 이용은 나날이 증가하고 있고 다른 일반 X-선 촬영과 비교했을 때 진단영역이 매우 높지만 방사선으로 인한 피폭과 산란선에 노출될 가능성이 매우 높다. 전산화 단층촬영실에서 산란선으로부터 조금이라도 자유로워지기 위해서는 설계단계에서부터 충분한 공간 확보가 우선되어야하고 모든 검사에서 방사선사는 최소의 선량으로 최상의 영상을 제공할 수 있는 다양한 기술개발에 더욱 노력을 아끼지 말아야 할 것으로 생각된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring.
