익산 미륵사지 석탑 석인상은 639년경 석탑이 조영된 이후 고려 말이나 조선 초기에 탑 주변에 조성되었다. 이 석인상은 동물에서 사람으로 변화하는 과도기적인 모습을 보이며, 탑을 수호하는 역할을 하였을 것으로 추정된다. 현재 석인상의 표면은 삭박되어 뚜렷한 도상을 알 수 없을 정도로 뭉그러져 있다. 그러나 남서 석인상은 세 방위(서북 북동 동남)에 놓인 석인상에 비해 물성은 약하지만 도상이 뚜렷하게 잘 남아 있다. 이러한 석인상의 표면 상태는 석인상이 위치한 노출환경과 직접적인 관련이 있다. 세 방위에 놓인 석인상은 그동안 외부에 노출되어 있었지만, 남서쪽에 놓인 석인상은 17세기경 석탑 주변에 석축을 축조하면서 석축 안에 들어가게 됨에 따라 외부 저해환경으로부터 차단될 수 있었기 때문이다. 이와 같이 약 400여 년간 다른 환경에 놓여 있었던 석인상은 차별적인 풍화현상을 보인다. 즉 세 방위(서북 북동 동남; $176{\cdot}109{\cdot}273kgf/cm^2$)에 놓인 석인상은 원래 물성이 좋았지만 삭박에 의해 도상이 불분명하고 생물의 침해가 심한 반면, 남서쪽에 놓인 석인상은 원래 물성($133kgf/cm^2$)은 좋지 않았지만 흑색오염물과 입상 분해 현상이 관찰될 뿐 도상형태가 잘 남아 있다. 석인상을 외부에 그대로 노출시켜 보존하는 것은 석인상의 형태적 보존을 위해서 권장할 만한 보존 관리방안이라 할 수 없다. 미륵사지 주변에 대한 미기후 환경 데이터를 적용해볼 때 미륵사지는 해를 거듭할수록 강산성비가 내리는 강한 풍화영역에 속하기 때문이다. 따라서 석인상의 형태적 보존을 위해서는 석인상이 있었던 원래의 위치를 고려한 보존 관리방안보다는 현재의 도상을 유지하고 보존할 수 있는 보존 관리방안을 생각해 볼 필요가 있다.

지구온난화로 인해 발생한 기후변화는 한반도의 홍수, 가뭄 등의 발생빈도를 증가시켰으며, 이로 인해 인적, 물적 피해가 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 수재해 대비 및 대응을 위해서는 국가 차원의 수자원 관리 계획 수립이 필요하며, 유역 단위 수자원 관리를 위해서는 장기간 관측된 유량 자료를 이용하여 도출된 유량지속곡선이 필요하다. 전통적으로 수자원 분야에서 유량지속곡선을 도출하기 위하여 물리적 기반의 강우-유출 모형이 많이 사용되고 있으며, 최근에는 데이터 기반의 딥러닝 기법을 이용한 유출량 예측 기법에 관한 연구가 진행된 바 있다. 물리적 기반의 모형은 수문학적으로 신뢰도 높은 결과를 도출할 수 있으나, 사용자의 높은 이해도가 요구되며, 모형 구동 시간이 오래 걸릴 수 있는 단점이 있다. 데이터 기반의 딥러닝 기법의 경우 입력 자료가 간단하며, 모형 구동 시간이 비교적 짧으나 입력 및 출력자료 간의 관계가 블랙박스로 처리되어 수리·수문학적 특성을 반영할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리적 기반 모형으로 국내외에서 적용성이 검증된 Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)의 매개변수 보정(Calibration)을 통해 장기간의 결측치 없는 데이터를 산출하고, 이를 데이터 기반 딥러닝 기법인 Long Short-term Memory (LSTM)의 훈련(Training) 데이터로 활용하였다. 시계열 데이터 분석 결과 검·보정 전체 기간('07-'18) 동안 Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE)와 적합도 비교를 위한 결정계수는 각각 0.04, 0.03 높게 도출되어 모형에서 도출된 SWAT의 결과가 LSTM보다 전반적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 모형에서 도출된 연도별 시계열 자료를 내림차순하여 산정된 유량지속곡선과 관측유량 기반의 유량지속곡선과 비교한 결과 NSE는 SWAT과 LSTM 각각 0.95, 0.91로 나타났으며, 결정계수는 0.96, 0.92로 두 모형 모두 우수한 성능을 보였다. LSTM 모형의 경우 저유량 부분 모의의 정확도 개선이 필요하나, 방대한 입력 자료로 인해 모형 구축 및 구동 시간이 오래 걸리는 대유역과 입력 자료가 부족한 미계측 유역의 유량지속곡선 산정 등에 활용성이 높을 것으로 판단된다.

지난 20년간 우리나라의 식중독발생건수가 계속적으로 증가하였음에도 불구하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 대책마련은 미흡한 실정이었다. 식중독사고는 국민건강에 악영향을 줄뿐만 아니라 심한 경우에는 국민의 목숨을 앗아가므로. 이 문제를 법적 조치만으로 해결하기보다는 업계종사자 및 국민들을 대상으로 하는 교육을 통하여 좀더 효과적으로 해결해 나가야만 한다. 따라서, 본 연구는 최근 우리나라의 식중독 발생현황을 모니터링하고 그 경향을 분석함으로써 문제점을 발견하고 그 해결 방안을 제시하며, 아울러 지역공중위생수준의 향상과 국민의 건강증진 및 보건에 대한 의식수준의 향상을 목적으로 최근 10년간(1991∼2000년)의 국·내외 학회지와 관련기관의 연구보고서를 근거로 하여 우리나라 식중독 발생현황을 원인균별, 원인식품별, 원인시설별로 분석하였다. 먼저 전체적인 식중독발생에 있어서, 우리나라의 식품위생수준이 예전에 비해 전반적으로 향상되었음에도 불구하고 식생활 형태의 변화로 식중독 발생은 해마다 증가하고 사건당 발생환자수 역시 90년도에 20명 정도였던 것이 2000년에 이르러서는 3.5배인 69.8명에 가까워져 식중독 발생이 점차 집단화 및 대형화되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 월별 식중독 발생양상은 97년도 이전까지는 기온이 높은 5∼9월의 하절기에 집중적으로 식중독이 발생하였으나, 98년과 2000년에 들어서는 식중독발생 범위가 하절기뿐만 아니라 연중 꾸준히 발생하고 있다. 한편, 지난 10년간 우리나라에서 발생한 식중독의 주요 원인균은 살모넬라균과 황색포도상구균 및 장염비브리오균이었고 이 세가지 균이 우리나라 식중독 사고발생의 85∼90%를 차지하고 있다. 주요 식중독 원인식품으로는 육류 및 그 가공품, 어패류 및 가공품, 김밥과 도시락 같은 복합조리식품을 들 수 있으며, 이로 인한 사건수나 환자수도 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 육류에 있어서는 돼지고기와 닭고기가 원인인 경우가 많고 어패류에 있어서는 회의 섭취가 주요원인이 되고 있다. 또한 김밥과 도시락 같은 복합조리식품에 의한 식중독발생은 90년대에 들어 중·소규모의 도시락 제조업체와 외식업체의 수가 늘어났기 때문이다.

본 연구는 사람의 다양한 세포주를 이용하여 활성산소종(과산화수소수)이 세포의 노화에 미치는 영향을 비교 조사하였다. 여러 농도의 과산화수소수에 세포주를 일주일 동안 배양하여 MTT 방법으로 과산화수소수에 대한 세포 성장의 반억제농도를 구하였다. 그 결과, 50대에서 유래하는 피부 섬유아세포와 10대의 노화 유도 피부 섬유아세포와 비교하여 10대에서 유래하는 피부 섬유아세포에서 과산화수소수에 대한 반억제농도의 값이 유의적으로 더 높았고, 10대의 피부 섬유아세포보다는 10대의 여러 조직 기원하는 성체줄기세포에서 반억제농도의 값이 유의적으로 더 높게 관찰되었다. 또한, 50 ppm 과산화수소수를 1주일 동안 처리한 후, 50대의 피부 섬유아세포에서 다른 세포주에 비해 세포 성장이 현저히 억제되었고, 노화 관련 베타-갈락토시다아제의 활성이 증가되는 것을 관찰하였다. 또한, 활성산소의 세포 독성을 중화시키는 두 유전자, 글루타티온 과산화효소(GPX)와 카탈라아제(CAT)의 발현을 각 세포주에서 조사하였을 때, CAT의 발현은 모든 세포주에서 대체로 낮았지만, GPX 유전자의 발현이 50대의 피부 섬유아세포보다 10대의 피부 섬유아세포와 성체줄기세포에서 현저히 높게 발현되는 것을 관찰하였다. 이상의 결과에서 활성산소는 세포 노화를 유도하고, GPX의 발현이 높은 10대의 피부 섬유아세포와 줄기세포보다는 50대의 피부 섬유아세포와 노화된 피부 섬유아세포에서 활성산소종에 대해 더 큰 민감성을 가지고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

최초 포집 되어 측정된 안개의 pH는 낮았으나, 산림을 통과하면서 임외우와 수관통과우보다 높은 결과를 보였다. 즉, 강우는 지표면 부근의 대기와 접촉하는 시간이 짧아, 국지적인 규모의 오염도에 대해서는 정확한 설명을 할 수 없는 반면, 안개의 경우는 그 발생이 지표면 부근의 대기라는 점에서 강우보다 소규모 면적의 대기오염에 대하여 효율적인 설명이 가능할 것(김만구 등, 1998)으로 보인다. 또한 최초 포집한 안개의 pH가 산림을 통과하면서 강우와 달리 높아진다는 것은 대기 오염 및 안개의 산성화에 대한 예방수단으로서 산림이 가지는 기능과 중요성을 극대화해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 안개의 이온농도 변화는 최초 포집한 원점보다 산림지역에서 감소하였다. 그 중에서 $Ca^{2+}$, ,SO$_{4}$$^{2-}$ 의 감소가 현저하였다. 대부분의 이온농도는 산림을 통과하는 과정에서 많이 감소하였으며, 원점과 나지에서 나타나는 변화는 작은 것으로 보였다. 그러나 산림지역에서 나타나는 이온농도의 변화는 대체적으로 활엽수인 신갈나무에 비해 침엽수인 리기다소나무에서 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 산림지역에서 나타나는 변화 중에 안개가 산림을 통과하면서 산성화 물질을 비롯한 여러 오염물질 둥을 임목에 직접 제공하는 역할을 하는 것으로 판단하였다. 이것은 임외우가 산림에 강하하여 수관과 수간에 의해 산성화되고, 임목과 토양에 영향을 미친다(Baker et al., 1977; Cronan and Reiners, 1983)는 것과는 다른 것으로 생각하였다. 이러한 이유로 해서 수관은 공해물질을 포함한 대기 강하물을 집적하는 여과기와 같아 산업화된 환경에 대하여 생태학적으로 중요한 의미(Amezaga et al., 1997; Park et al., 1999)를 갖는 것으로 판단하였다. 사육밀도의 증가는 물리적인 자극으로부터 개체들에게 더 많은 스트레스를 유발시켜 폐사율을 높일 수 있는 열악한 환경을 조성할 수 있음을 시사하였다.s the strategies on the revitalization and enhancement of small-sized retailers" productivities.에 종양을 가진 환자 치료 시 더욱 질 높은 방사선 치료가 실현될 것으로 기대한다. 30∼40％ 정도 느렸고, 퍼레니얼라이그라스도 퍼레니얼라이그라스 100％ 단일종류에 비해 20∼30％정도 늦었다. 따라서, 뗏장 재배시 여러 종류의 초종을 천편일률적으로 혼합하여 파종하는 것은 바람직하지 않으며, 컨셉에 따라 적절하게 초종 및 품종을 선택해서 사용하는 것이 필요하다. 5. 뗏장의 뿌리 형성 능력은 퍼레니얼라이그라스가 가장 좋았고, 가장 저조한 초종은 켄터키블루그라스였다. 톨훼스큐는 켄터키블루그라스와 퍼레니얼라이그라스의 중간정도로 나타났다. 혼합구의 뗏장 형성 능력은 초종의 혼합비에 따라 뿌리 형성력 차이가 다르게 나타났는데, 특히 퍼레니얼라이그라스 혼합비율이 많을수록 뿌리 형성 능력은 증가하였다. 6. 뗏장 수확시 잔디 품질은 단일 초종구의 품질이 혼합구에 비해 양호하였는데 가장 우수한 초종은 켄터키블루그라스였고, 톨훼스큐는 켄터키블루그라스 다음으로 중간정도, 그리고 퍼레니얼라이그라스는 가장 저조하였다. 켄터키블루그라스는 균일한 잔디 면, 고밀도 및 예초 후 상태가 우수한 특성으로 품질이 양호하였고, 퍼레니얼라이그라스의 품질이 저조하였던 것은 초장이 길어 잔디 면이 누운 상태로 나타나 균일도 저하 및 예초 후 품질이 켄터키블루그라스나 톨훼스큐 보다 떨어지기 때문이다. 그리고 혼합구의 품질은 여러 종류가 혼합됨으로 인해 색상 및 밀도의 균일도가 떨어지고, 또한 예초 시 물결처럼 불균일하게 깎여 잔디 표면이 불량하였기 때문이었다

기동중인 헬리콥터는 공기역학적인 현상에 의하여 발생하는 불규칙 진동과 회전날개의 작동으로 인한 정현파 진동이 합성되어 발생하는 진동, 작업 및 착륙 시 발생하는 충격, 그리고 갑작스런 기동 시 발생하는 가속도와 같은 동적 하중에 노출 된다. 이때 발생하는 진동과 같은 동적 하중은 기체내부로 전달되어 헬리콥터운용에 필요한 전자장비를 가진 한다. 과거에 이러한 현상을 최소화하기 위하여 진동크기 감쇠시키기 위한 완충기를 전자장비의 장착대에 적용하여 왔다. 그러나 헬리콥터의 경우, 저주파에서 정현파 가진이 발생하므로 완충기 적용은 오히려 장착 플레이트 및 전자장비 부품의 파손을 발생시킬 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 완충기를 제거한 장착대를 동적 하중에 강건하며 전자장비에 전달되는 진동크기를 최소화 하도록 설계하였다. 완충기를 제거한 장착 대를 적용 시, 무게와 부피를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있으며 전자장비를 기체에 체결하는 나사 수가 적어짐에 따라 체결작업에 필요한 시간이 감소되는 장점을 갖는다. 최적화 해석에 적용되는 동적 하중을 선정하기 위하여 진동, 충격, 가속도하중을 비교 분석하여 가장 결정적인 동적 하중인 진동에 의한 하중을 선정하였다. 전체모델 유한요소 해석을 통하여 전자장비의 동적 거동을 분석하고 최적화 해석에 필요한 단순화 모델을 구축하였으며, 모달 테스트를 통해서 동특성을 검증하였다. 위상 최적화를 적용하여 강성대비 체적비가 큰 장착대의 형상을 도출한 후 고유진동수, 응력을 제약조건으로 무게가 최소화 되도록 하는 파라미터 최적화를 수행하여 장착대의 최종 형상 및 치수를 결정하였다. 개선모델은 체적 및 질량이 약 13 % 감소하였으며 사용시간은 규격대비 9.2배 증가하였다. 마지막으로 최적화된 장착대를 운용중인 실제 장비에 적용하여 진동환경에 대한 안정성을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서는 태풍에 의해 낙과피해가 큰 과수인 배에 대해서 연간 태풍횟수가 당해년도 배 생산효율성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 배는 과실이 비대해지는 성숙기와 수확기가 태풍 내습 시기와 겹치면서 다른 과수에 비해 낙과피해에 의한 생산효율성이 크게 감소하는 과수이다. 이러한 낙과피해에 의한 생산효율성의 감소를 확률적 프런티어 분석을 실시하여 계측하고자 하였다. 또한 자연재해인 태풍에 대해 배 생산이 특화된 지역과 그렇지 않은 지역에 있어 생산효율성의 감소가 어떻게 다른 양상으로 나타나는지 살펴보기 위하여 배 생산 농가가 위치한 지역의 지역특화계수 값을 구하였고, 이를 통해 배 생산이 전국에 비해 특화된 지역과 그렇지 않은 지역으로 구분하였다. 최종적으로 태풍 횟수 변수와 특화여부 변수의 상호작용변수(interaction variable)를 분석에 포함하여 태풍에 의한 생산효율성의 감소와, 특화지역 여부에 따른 지역별 상이한 태풍 피해를 계측하고자 하였다. 분석결과 Cobb-Douglas 함수 형태를 가정한 확률적 프런티어 분석에서 토지, 노동, 자본 세 가지 투입요소는 생산량에 양(+)의 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또 기술적 비효율성을 결정하는 요인으로 국내 영향을 미친 유효태풍 횟수, 지역특화여부, 상호작용변수, 도시여부, 시간 흐름에 따른 트렌드 변수를 분석에 포함하였다. 그 결과 유효태풍 횟수의 추정계수는 통계적으로 양(+)의 유의한 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났고, 지역특화여부와 곱의 형태로 나타낸 상호작용변수의 추정계수는 통계적으로 음(-)의 유의한 값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 유효태풍에 의해 배 농가의 생산효율성이 감소하지만, 배 생산이 특화된 지역의 경우 그렇지 않은 지역보다 생산효율성이 적게 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 태풍과 같은 자연재해에 대해 특화된 지역일수록 피해를 저감시키는 기술의 파급효과(spillover effect)가 존재하는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 실제로 파풍망의 설치나 파풍수의 식재 등이 태풍에 의한 낙과 피해를 효과적으로 감소시키는 방법으로 알려져 있고, 품종에 대해서도 과실크기가 상대적으로 작은 황금배 품종에 있어 낙과 피해가 적다는 것이 주지의 사실이다. 태풍 피해를 경감시키는 기술 및 품종의 보급과 적용이 배 생산이 특화된 지역과 그렇지 않은 지역 사이에 차이가 있는지는 향후 연구를 통해 살펴봐야 할 것으로 판단된다. 반면 지역특화여부 자체의 추정계수 값은 통계적으로 유의한 값을 갖지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 도시여부의 추정계수는 통계적으로 양(+)의 유의한 값을 가지므로 광역시 이상의 도시지역에 위치한 배 농가의 경우 생산효율성이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 끝으로 연도별 트렌드 변수의 추정계수 값은 통계적으로 음(-)의 유의한 값을 가지는 것으로 나타나, 시간이 지남에 따라 배 농가들의 생산효율성은 조금씩 제고되어왔음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 한계로는 농가소득 자료가 연도별 지역별 특정 농가를 대상으로 조사된 패널자료의 형태임에도 이를 고려하지 않은 분석방법에 있다. 추후 패널자료를 활용한 확률 프런티어 분석(panel stochastic frontier analysis)을 통해 보다 정교한 분석이 이루어질 필요가 있다. 또한 태풍의 크기나 강도 및 경로를 고려하지 않아 그로 인한 지역별 상이한 태풍의 영향을 계측하지 못했다. 향후 연구에서는 유효태풍 횟수에서 한 발 나아가 지역별 최대풍속자료 등을 활용하여 특화지역 여부에 의한 지역별 태풍피해의 차이뿐만 아니라 태풍의 이동경로나 태풍의 규모까지 고려한 분석이 이루어질 필요가 있다. 또한 시공간적으로 고해상도를 갖는 격자화된 모델 기상자료(가령, Lee et al., 2016)와 연계될 경우, 최근 대두되고 있는 태풍이 농업에 미치는 영향예보를 정량적으로 수행하는 데에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

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.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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

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

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.

본 연구는 편액과 시문이 과거 누정원림의 고유한 입지 및 조영 특성 추론의 중요한 준거(準據)가 된다는 전제 하에, 요월정원림(邀月亭園林)을 대상으로 과거 시점의 입지 및 조영 해석을 고구(考究)하기 위해 시도되었다. 요월정원림이 갖는 의미와 문화재적 위상과 가치의 진정성 제고 및 보존의 당위성을 논의할 목적으로 시도된 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 요월정원림은 정원주 김경우(金景遇)를 비롯한 당대 거유들이 교유한 시율풍류의 현장이었다. "조선환여승람 호남읍지(湖南邑誌) 장성읍지(長城邑誌)" 등 고문헌을 통해 사화(士禍)를 피해 머문 은신처로서의 성격과 함께 지역정체성을 형성한 교두보로서의 장소성이 확인되었다. 또한 "요월정원운(邀月亭原韻)"을 통해 누정원림 작정(作庭) 의도 및 조영 동기를 확인한 바, 요월정원림은 세속과 탈속 그리고 현실과 이상이 뒤섞여 길항(拮抗)한 공간으로 해석된다. 둘째, 당호 요월(邀月)은 누정에서 조망했을 때의 승경적 요인 및 자연현상과 관련된 명칭으로, 마주한 '월봉산에 뜨는 달을 맞이함'을 함의하는 어휘로, 이는 자연의 섭리이자 풍류로서 탈속의 이미지와 맞닿아 있다. 즉 요월정은 세속의 희비를 벗어나 자연의 섭리를 따르려한 조영 의도를 반영한 당호로 해석된다. 셋째, 요월정원림의 입지는 "영광속수여지승람(靈光續修輿地勝覽)"을 통해 조영자가 퇴관 후 휴식을 위해 마련한 처소였으며, 월봉산을 마주하여 황룡강(黃龍江)이 굽이쳐 흐르던 승경지였음을 고문헌과 다수의 시문을 통해 확인하였다. 특히, 수호인 인터뷰에 따르면 요월정원림에서 야경의 시지각 빈도(頻度)는 수호인 거처인 고직사에서 요월정을 향해 황룡강 방향인 동쪽을 숙시각(熟視角)으로 조망했을 때가 가장 높다고 한다. 또한 시지각 강도(强度)가 가장 높고 아름다운 풍경은 요월정 좌측 배후면에서 달이 부상하여 요월정 전면(前面)의 배롱나무동산을 가로질러 요월정과 마주한 월봉산 사이에 남중한 때로 증언한 바 있다. 현재 요월정원림의 좌향은 $SE\;141.2^{\circ}$로서 거의 남동향 하고 있는데, 이와 같은 요월정 좌향 설정은 지형조건뿐 아니라 달의 궤적을 유상(遊賞)하기에 최적화된 방향과 시계(視界)를 확보하기 위한 기도(企圖)가 담겼다고 판단된다. 나아가 전면의 황룡강 수면 위로 남중한 달빛이 투영됨으로써, 하늘의 달과 황룡강 강물에 투영된 달이 동시에 감지되게끔 고려된 것으로 추론된다. 넷째, 현재 요월정원림은 요월정과 광산김씨문숙공파종회각(光山金氏文肅公派宗會閣) 및 고직사(庫直舍)로 구성된 '내원 권역'과 진입부를 아우른 배롱나무동산 및 소나무 배후림이 포함된 '외원 권역'으로 구분된다. 나아가 '용소 및 수생식물원 권역' 및 최근 조성된 '황룡정과 공원 권역'으로 외연(外緣)이 확산되면서 교란되고 변용되었다. 다섯째, 조영 당시 요월정원림은 누정에서 조망한 풍경을 안아 들여 누정을 중심으로 지근거리의 일정한 자연을 점유한 방식인 '경계 없는 산수원림'이었으나, 현재 복합경관은 과거 원형경관과는 괴리된 '이질화 분절화 파편화된' 경관으로 파악된다. 마지막으로, 요월정원림이 문화재지정보호구역임을 감안할 때, 편액과 기문에 묘사된 완전한 원형경관으로의 복원은 아니더라도 최소한 원림권역에서의 경관적 악영향과 시각적 훼손을 최소화하기 위한 대책수립이 요망된다.
