2017년 두테르테 정부는 집권 2년차를 맞아 보다 강력하게 치안 유지를 위한 정책을 폈으며, 아세안의장국으로서 자주적인 외교를 표방하였다. 마약과의 전쟁을 계속하였고 아울러 부패 공직자에 대한 처벌을 통해 자신의 정치적 입지를 높이려 하였다. 또한 무슬림 테러조직인 마우테 그룹의 소탕을 이유로 민다나오 지역에 계엄령을 선포하고 대외적으로도 대테러 공조를 강화하였다. 또한 집권초기 화해 제스처를 취하고 평화협상도 추진했던 공산반군과는, 일련의 유혈사태로 인하여 평화 기조를 종결하고 진압작전을 시작하였다. 여전히 높은 지지도에 힘입어 강력한 드라이브를 걸고 있지만 사회경제적으로 낮은 계층과 소수집단들이 점점 소외됨으로써 일종의 불안 요인이 되고 있다. 아세안의장국으로서 두테르테 정부는 기존의 확고한 우방인 미국과도 일정한 거리를 두는 반면, 실질적인 경제적 이익을 취할 수 있는 중국이나 러시아와는 친밀도를 높이는 방향으로 선회하였다. 외부 경제적 지원을 다각화하고 안으로는 세수를 증대하는 정책을 통해 인프라 확립을 우선 과제로 선정했다. 높은 경제성장률을 보이고 있는 필리핀이 확고한 인프라 확립에 대한 기대감도 크지만, 전통적으로 외부 자원에 의존하여 외채 부담을 늘렸던 전철을 밞지 않기 위해서는 세제 개혁이 성공적으로 마무리될 수 있어야할 것으로 보인다. 한국의 신남방정책은 두테르테 자주외교 정책과 접점을 찾는 것이 필요해 보이며, 인프라 개발에 한국 정부나 기업의 효율적인 협력 방안을 모색하는 것도 향후 과제가 될 것이다.

식물에서 슈트 정단부에는 분열하는 세포들로 이루어진 슈트 정단분열조직이라는 조그마한 부분이 있다. 슈트 정단분열조직은 그 식물의 일생을 통해서 땅 위의 모든 구조를 만들어 낸다. 이 연구의 목적은 지난 250년 동안 슈트 정단분열조직의 체제와 기능을 설명하기 위해 발전해 온 이론들을 기술하여, 식물의 생장과 발달에 영향을 미치는 슈트 정단분열조직의 중요성을 이해하는 데 있다. 1759년 볼프(C. F. Wolff)가 최초로 슈트 정단분열조직을 기재한 이후, 1858년에 네겔리(C. N${\ddot{a}}$geli)는 무종자 유관속식물의 슈트 정단분열조직에서 하나의 커다란 정단세포를 관찰하여 정단세포설을 제안하였다. 그러나 이 설은 종자식물에 적용할 수 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 이어서 1868년 한스타인(J. Hanstein)에 의해 조직원설이 제한되었으나, 이 설도 종자식물에 일반적으로 적용할 수 없었다. 그 후, 1924년 슈미트(A. Schmidt)은 피자식물의 슈트 정단분열조직에서 세포의 분열면이 서로 다른 것을 관찰하여 초층-내체설을 제안하였다. 이 설은 나자식물에 적용할 수 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 1938년 포스터(A. Foster)는 세포조직학적으로 서로 다른 구역으로 이루어진 나자식물의 슈트 정단부를 관찰하여 세포조직학적 구역화설을 제안하였다. 또한 1954년 기포드(E. Gifford)의 연구에 힘입어 피자식물의 슈트 정단분열조직에도 세포조직학적 구역화설이 적용될 수 있다는 사실이 증명되었다. 또 다른 설로서, 1952년 뷔바(R. Buvat)는 대기 분열조직설이 제안되었으나, 영양생장 시기에 분열조직 중앙의 시원세포들이 분열하지 않는다는 주장이 수용되지 않았다. 최근에 애기장대(Arabidopsis thaliana)를 이용한 연구에서, 슈트 정단분열조직의 형성과 유지가 몇 개의 유전자들에 의해서 조절된다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 즉, SHOOTMERISTEMLESS(STM) 유전자는 슈트 정단분열조직을 형성하고, WUSCHEL(WUS) 및 CLAVATA (CLV) 유전자들은 슈트 정단분열조직을 유지시키며, WUS와 CLV 두 유전자들 사이의 신호전달은 음성되먹임회로를 통해서 이루어진다.

우리나라에서 자생하고 있는 실새삼에는 광합성색소 생합성과정이 존재하는지, 있다면 다른 식물에 비하여 어떠한 특징을 가지고 있는지를 알아보고 광합성색소 대사과정에 작용점을 가지는 제초제에 대하여 반응을 나타내는지를 확인하고자 실험하였다. 1. 야외의 자연광 조건에서 자라고 있는 실새삼 생육지의 엽록소함량은 메꽃 줄기와 비교하여 볼 때 9배가 낮았고, 메꽃 잎과 비교하여 볼 때는 약 50배 낮은 경향이었다. 2. 종자로부터 발아된 실새삼 유묘의 경우 선단부위가 색소함량이 가장 높았다. 생육지의 경우는 신장지(extension stem)에서 색소함량이 가장 높았고, 권지(twining stem), 선단 15cm 아래의 절간 순으로 엽록소와 카로티노이드 함량이 낮은 경향이었다. 그리고 생장이 계속됨에 따라 오래된 줄기에서의 엽록체 퇴화가 신속하게 일어나는 경향이었다. 3. 생육지의 색소함량은 광도에 따라 생체중 1g당 엽록소 함량이 20-170${\mu}g$까지, 카로티노이드 함량은 40-120${\mu}g$ 범위까지 변하는 경향이었다. 자연일장조건에서 채취하여 낮은 색소함량을 가진 줄기를 여러 광도에 24시간 둘 경우 91${\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$PAR 내외의 광도까지는 초기색소함량의 3배까지 증가되었고, 광도가 456${\mu}Em^{-2}s^{-1}$PAR 이상에서는 엽록소 함량의 변화가 거의 없었다. 4, 5mM의 ALA를 외부에서 공급할 경우 메꽃의 근경으로부터 나온 신초에서는 Pchlide가 7배 이상 증가되었으나 실새삼 생육지 선단에서는 40% 정도만 증가되었다. 한편 ALA를 공급한 후 저광도에 둘 경우 미미한 엽록소 증가경향만 보여 상대적으로 실새삼은 ALA에 대해 매우 둔감한 특정을 보였다. 5. Paraquat, norflurazon, oxyfluorfen, diuron 등의 제초제를 처리할 경우 모든 처리에서 색소소실이 관찰되었다. 아울러 oxyfluorfen을 처리하면 일반식물에서와 같이 protoporphyrin IX의 축적도 얼어났다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 실새삼은 낮은 수준이지만 엽록소 및 카로티노이드 생합성과정이 정상적으로 작동되나 조직부위별로 그 수준이 다르고 주변환경의 영향 특히 광도에 따라 크게 조절되고 성장함에 따라 하부조직에서의 엽록체 퇴화가 빠른 특징을 보였다. 색소대사 과정에 작용점을 가지는 제초제들에 대하여 제초반응은 나타내지만 낮은 수준의 광합성색소 생합성 능력과 기주식물로부터의 영양분 탈취라는 특성을 고려하여 볼 때 탁월한 제초효과를 보여주지는 못할 것으로 생각되었다.

2000년 12월부터 담수를 시작한 용담호는 총 저수량 8.2억톤으로 국내 5위의 대규모 다목적댐 호수로서, 새만금 담수호에 유입되는 하천수의 최상류에 위치한 인공호이다. 새만금 방조제가 완공되어 수문을 조작하면, 용담호의 계절적인 식물플랑크톤 군집변화는 신생 새만금호의 녹조현상을 좌우하는 한 요인이 될 것이다. 용담호의 초기 담수화 과정 중 2002-2003년 하계에 남세균 녹조현상이 나타났으며, 녹조현상을 일으킨 주요 속은 Anabaena, Microcystis, Aphanizomenon 등이었다. 이 가운데 사상체 남세균인 Anabaena속에는 영양세포 이외에 이질세포나 휴면세포 등의 특수기능 세포를 가진 종들이 포함되어 있다. 용담호 녹조현상이 나타난 현장의 시료에서 분리한 Anabaena spiroides v. crassa의 단종배양체인 KNU-YD0310종주를 확립하였으며, 실내배양 실험을 통하여 이 종주의 영양염 요구를 연구하였다. 질소영양염 제한 조건에서는 이질세포의 영양세포에 대한 비율이 높았으며, 질소제한 정도에 따라 그 비율은 더욱 증가하였다. 질소고정능이 있는 KNU-YD0310는 질소제한 조건에서도 성장이 지속되나, 인의 경우에는 초기의 공급 농도에 비례하는 성장을 나타내었다. 인영양염 제한 조건에서는 휴면세포의 형성량이 증가하여, 인 제한의 경우에는 실험 종주가 세포대사를 억제하여 부적합한 환경조건에서의 생존기간을 연장시키는 적응전략을 가진 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 Anabaena spiroides v. crassa의 생리 생태적 특성은 향후 새만금 담수호의 녹조현상 예방대책 수립을 위한 수서생태학적 기준으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

황강리 지역내 앰피볼라이트에 대해 주요 광물군으로 변성분대를 설정해 보면 각섬석-양기석대(H-AZ), 각섬석대(HZ), 투휘석대(DZ)등 세 개의 변성분대가 인지된다. 그 특성을 보면 열적 영향을 가장 많이 받은 투휘석대에서 각섬석대 그리고 각섬석-양기석대가 발달하고 있어 화강암체로부터 거리가 멀어지면서 접촉변성작용의 변성도가 감소하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 본암의 광물군들을 종합 분류해 보면 (1) 양기석+사장석+녹니석, (2) 양기석+각섬석+사장석+녹니석$\pm$녹염석$\pm$흑운모, (3) 양기석+각섬석+사장석$\pm$혹운모$\pm$녹염석, (4) 각섬석+사장석$\pm$흑운모$\pm$녹니석, (5) 각섬석+사장석+투휘석+양기석$\pm$녹염석$\pm$녹니석, (6) 각섬석+사장석$\pm$투휘석$\pm$흑운모$\pm$녹염석 등 크게 여섯 가지 그룹으로 나뉘어 진다. 이 지역의 앰피볼라이트는 두 번의 변성작용을 받은 것으로 인지되고 있는데 첫 번째 변성작용은 옥천변성대에 우세하게 작용한 중압형의 광역변성작용으로 본암에서 조립질에서 중립질의 각섬석류 입자의 중앙부의 양기석을 성장시켰으며 변성도는 녹색편암상에서 녹염석-앰퍼볼라이트상에 이르렀다. 이에 중침된 두 번째 변성작용은 주변의 화강암체에 의한 접촉변성 작용으로 변성도는 최대 상부 앰피볼라이트상의 저압부에 이른 것으로 사료된다. TWEEQU지은지압계와 각섬석-사장석 지온계에 의한 계산에 따르면 초기 광역변성작용의 변성조건은 4.6-7.3kb의 압럭하에 온도가 $439-537^{\circ}C$의 범위를 가지며 최고 온도, 압력범위는 $492-537^{\circ}C$, 5.2-7.3kb의 값에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 백악기 화강암의 관입으로 인한 접촉변성작용의 변성조건은 2.6-5.2kb의 압력하에서 온도가 $588-739^{\circ}C$의 범위를 가지며 최고 온도, 압력범위는 $697-739^{\circ}C$, 3.8-5.2kb내에 분포하고 있으며 온도상승과 압력강하의 변성진화과정을 겪은 것으로 추정되고 있다.

도시에 관심을 가지는 사람이면 누구나 "도시란 무엇인가?"라는 화두(話頭)가 떠오르게 편다. 그리고 끊임없이 생각을 확장시켜 갈 것이다. 그러나 대부분은 "도시란 무엇인가?"에 대한 대답이 아니라 도시적인 현상, 도시의 특징, 농촌과의 차이점으로 사고(思考)를 진행시켜 갈 것이다. 또한 화두(話頭)가 무엇인지 망각하면서 계속해서 도시를 연구하고 또 분석할 것이다. 이렇게 화두(話頭)와 사고(思考)의 방향이 서로 엇갈리게 되는 경우가 인간의 현상에 있어서는 그리 흔하지 않을 것이다. 도시란 오묘한 존재임에는 틀림이 없다. 도시의 내부구조를 파악하기 위해서, 그리고 그 구조에 영향을 비치는 어떤 공간적인 원리, 나아가서 법칙이 존재한다는 신념을 가지고 있는 것이 도시지리학도들이다. 우리가 관심을 가지는 것은 가시적인 현상이 아니라, 그 현상 뒤에 숨어서 그 현상을 존재하도록 하는 법칙일 것이다. 어떻게 그 법칙을 추구할 수 있을까? 어떻게 하면 진리를 찾을 수 있을까? 과연 찾을 수 있을까? 지리학에 있어서 '무엇이 어디에 있는가?'하는 것은 중요하지 않다. '왜, 어떻게 있느냐'가 중요하다. 그러나 어디에 무엇이 있는지도 모르는 채 '왜', '어떻게'에 대한 정확한 해답을 얻을 수 있을까 하는 의문이 생긴다. 우리는 누적(累積)된 연구 성과의 중요성을 등한시 해서는 안된다. 선배들의 연구 업적을 간과해서도 안될 것이며, 또한 무비판적으로 수용해서도 안될 것이다. 지리학도들은 미시적(微視的)인 공간에 적용되는 원리는 거시적(巨視的)인 공간에도 적용되며, 그 역(逆)도 성립한다는 사실을 인식하고 있다. 본 연구는 미시적인 지역에 대한 접근이다. 부산시 내부에 존재하고 있는 CBD를 비롯한 여러 계층의 중심지(상점가)에 대한 접근의 일환으로 이루어지고 있다. 최종적으로는 부산시 전체의 공간구조를 파악하기 위한 목적을 염두에 두고 지난 10여년간 단계적으로 행하여 온 연구의 한 부분의 성격을 지니고 있다. 부산역 상점가는 부산시 내부에서는 온천장 상점가와 더불어 오히려 특수 기능 상점가의 하나이다. 이곳에 대해서 본 논문에서는 기능별 패턴의 일부, 층별 규모별 패턴, comer의 패턴, 가로별 패턴을 분석하여 부산역 상점가에 대한 접근을 완성하였다.

1. Macrobrachium rosenbergi(de Man)의 효율적인 종묘생산의 방안을 모색하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 염분량이 유생에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 부화직후의 Zoea유생을 (1) 염분량 별로 9실험구:담수, $3.48\~4.42\%_{\circ}Cl,\;5.26\~6.45\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.63\~8.23\%_{\circ}Cl,\;9.76\~10.52\%_{\circ}Cl,\;11.27\~11.94\%_{\circ}C1,\;13.12\~14.08\%_{\circ}Cl,\;16.13\~16.88\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $18.04\~18.92\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분한 사육수에서 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$ 및 여과유속 0.6l/min.로 고정한 순환식 수조(용량 25l)내에서 Artemia salina nauplii 투이하며 post-larva령기까지 변태되는 온도별 성장 속도와 그 변태율을 비교하여 본 유생의 생육여과도를 조사하였고, (2) 각 령기별유생의 각종 염분량에 대한 적응도와 선택기호성을 조사하기 위하여 1l 용량의 코니칼 비커속에 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, aeration (3-4기포/sec)을 약하게 유지한 12실험구 ; 담수, $2.21\~2.76\%_{\circ}Cl,\;4.12\~4.47\%_{\circ}Cl,\;5.58\~5.98\%_{\circ}Cl,\;8.23\~8.64\%_{\circ}Cl,\;10.11\~10.56\%_{\circ}Cl,\;11.85\~12.42\%_{\circ}Cl,\;13.05\~14.51\%_{\circ},\;14.75\~15.38\%_{\circ}Cl,\;16.86\~17.72\%_{\circ}Cl\;18.54\~19.08\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 해수$(19.38\%_{\circ}Cl)$로 구분한 사육수에 제 1 Zoea 령기, 제 4 Zoea 령기, 제 6 Zoea 령기, 제 8 Zoea 령기, 제 10 Zoea령기 및 제 11 Zoea령기를 급격한 염도변화에 조우당함을 피하기 위하여 일정한 염도에 순화시킨 후 각각 이주시켜 Artemia salina nauplii를 투이하고 2일간격으로 실험구의 사육수를 치환하며 6일간을 사육한 후 각실험구별의 생잔유생수를 서로 비교하였다. (3) 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$를 유지시키고 염도가 상이한 3종의 사육조 ; $3.82\~4.68\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.14\~7.85\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $10.22\~11.05\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 사육, 성장시킨 제 2 Zoea, 제 4 Zoea, 제 6 Zoea 및 제 8 Zoea 령기의 유생을 별도로 염분별로 3실험구 : $3.68\~4.34\%_{\circ}Cl,\;7.42\~8.28\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $10.71\~11.53\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분한 150 l 용량의 여과실험조에 서로 염도가 상이한 간격간을 이주 (Fig. 4)시켜 12일간을 Artemia salina nauplii를 투이하고 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$을 유지시키며 사육한 후 이주시킨 유생의 령기별 및 사육도중에 이주한 염도의 간격차에 대한 생잔율을 서로 비교하여 사육도중에 조우하는 변동된 염도에 대한 각 령기별 유생의 적응도를 조사하였으며 이 실험을 위하여 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, 염분량 $5.28\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 갓 부화된 유생을 각사육조에 분양시켜 사육하였다. (4) post-larvarl 및 Juvenile의 염분량에 대한 성장률 및 서식적염도를 조사하기 위하여 수온 $28^{\circ}C{\pm}1$, 여과유속 $0.6\~0.8l\~min$를 유지시키며 염분별로 6실험구 ; 담수 $3.61\~4.25\%_{\circ}Cl$ 및 $16.87\~17.13\%_{\circ}Cl$로 구분하여 각실험별로 40일, 60일 및 120일의 성장도 및 그 생잔율을 상호 비교하였다. qs 실험기간중 투여한 이료는 반숙절편한 반지락을 사용하였다. 2. 본유생의 post-larva로 변태하기 위해서는 반드시 일정량의 염분량이 요하고 기호, 선택하는 염분량은 각령기에 따라 다소상이하나 대체로 염분량 $7.63\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $14.42\%_{\circ}Cl$의 범위가 적염도로 생각되며 이 범위내에서는 염분량에 따른 변태속도의 차이는 거의 볼 수 없으나 염분량 $4.42\%_{\circ}Cl$이상의 보다 높은 염도에서는 현저한 지연현상이 나타나며 더욱이 높은 염도에 비하여 저염도인 경우가 더욱 늦어지는 경향을 보인다. 3. 각 Zeoa 령기별의 염분량에 대한 적응도는 대체로 염분량 $8.28\~12.42\%_{\circ}Cl$ 사이가 가장 크나 령기가 기호, 선택하는 염분량에 차이가 있으므로 그 적응도도 서로 상이하다. 보편적으로 전령기를 통하여 제8 Zoea기를 전환점으로 하여 이 보다 어린 령기의 유생일수록 비교적 높은 염도에 대한 적응도가 높은데 반하여 령기가 진전되어 post-larva 기로 근접해 갈수록 점차적으로 저염도에 대한 기호, 선택성이 커지는 경향을 보인다. 4. Post-larva기에 대한 서식적염도는 염분량 $8.08\%_{\circ}Cl$ 담수의 범위로서 Zoea 령기에 비하여 저염성을 나타내고 더우기 적정범위는 염분량 $4.25\%_{\circ}Cl$로서 담수에 가까울수록 그 성장도는 높다. 따라서 Zoea유생은 담수에서 보다 성장률이 높다. 한편 post-larva는 령기 의 개체가 해수($19.38\%_{\circ}Cl$ 이상)에서 1일이상을 생존치 못하는데 비하여 Zoea 유생은 6일이사을 적응할 수가 있다. 5. Zoea 유생은 염분량에 대한 특성이 령기의 진전에 따라 고염성으로부터 저염성으로 그 특성이 조금씩 이행됨은 제8 Zoea 령기를 지나므로써 post-larva 기가 가지고 제 특성으로 점차 이행되기 때문으로 생각되며 이같은 현상을 뒷받침하는 것은 형태적으로 제 8 령기를 전후하여 종전의 유생에 제1, 제2 보각에 협지가 형성됨과 동시에 유영피도 거의 완성되어 post-larve 기의 형태로 이행됨을 볼 수 있고 또한 생태적으로도 제10-제11령기에 이르러서는 종전의 유영층에서 점차로 저변으로 이행하여 유영동작도 훨씰 둔화되어 post-larvarl로 전환되는 과도기의 특성을 관찰할 수가 있다. 따라서 이같은 점을 결부하여 제 8 령기를 지남으로써 염분량에 대한 특성 및 적응도가 종전의 유생기와 상이해 짐을 이해할 수 있다. 6. 령기별 Zoea유생을 사육도중에 염분량 $3.68\~11.53\%_{\circ}Cl$ 범위내에서 고, 저염도간을 갑자기 이주시켜 조우한 염도변화에 대한 적응도를 조사하니 제 8 Zoea 령기를 전환점으로 하여 어린 령기일수록 저염도에서 높은 염도로 이주했을 때의 적응도가 크고, 령기가 진전되어 post-larva 기에 가까워 질수록 반대로 높은 온도에서 저염도로 이주했을 때의 적응도가 점차로 커져가는 경향을 보였다. 또한 특의한 현상은 상이한 두 염도간을 가역방향으로 이주시켰을 때의 적응도는 각각 상이하고 이같은 경우에도 제 8 Zoea 령기를 경계로 하여 이동된 염분량에 대한 령기별 유생의 적응도도 전환되는 현상을 나타내었다. 7. Zoea 유생을 사육하는 동안 사육수의 염분함유량에 비례하여 유생의 체표에 산재하는 색소포가 팽창되어 주로 붉은색을 나타내게 됨으로 염분함유량과 색소포의 확장과는 어떤 관계가 있는 듯 생각된다. 8. 령기별 Zoea 유생 및 post-larva 기의 염분량에 대한 기호, 선택성과 치하 및 성하의 서식분포역을 고려할 때 자연서식역의 하천에서는 왕부하는 생활사를 취하는 듯 생각된다. 9. 본종의 종묘생산을 효율적으로 영위하기 위해는 유생의 염분량에 대한 특성을 고려하여 제 8 Zoea 령기를 경계로 해서 어린 유생기에서는 대략 염분량 $8\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $12\%_{\circ}Cl$를 유지시켜 사육하다가 제 8령기 이후 부터는 점차로 담수를 첨가시켜 염분량이 령기의 진전에 따라 $7\%_{\circ}Cl$에서 $4\%_{\circ}Cl$로 이행되게 하는 것이 능률적이며 또한 효과적인 사육법의 하나로써 Green water를 사용할 때도 사육환경의 변동에 민감한 어린 유생기에 단세포 녹조류를 충분히 번식시켜 사육수내이 생물학적 평형상태를 유지시켜 주는 것이 중요함으로 어린 령기에는 가능한 염도를 높여 Green water의 보존도 효과적으로 하는 것이 전망된다.

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.

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.

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

The objective of this research is to test the feasibility of developing a statewide truck traffic forecasting methodology for Wisconsin by using Origin-Destination surveys, traffic counts, classification counts, and other data that are routinely collected by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Development of a feasible model will permit estimation of future truck traffic for every major link in the network. This will provide the basis for improved estimation of future pavement deterioration. Pavement damage rises exponentially as axle weight increases, and trucks are responsible for most of the traffic-induced damage to pavement. Consequently, forecasts of truck traffic are critical to pavement management systems. The pavement Management Decision Supporting System (PMDSS) prepared by WisDOT in May 1990 combines pavement inventory and performance data with a knowledge base consisting of rules for evaluation, problem identification and rehabilitation recommendation. Without a r.easonable truck traffic forecasting methodology, PMDSS is not able to project pavement performance trends in order to make assessment and recommendations in the future years. However, none of WisDOT's existing forecasting methodologies has been designed specifically for predicting truck movements on a statewide highway network. For this research, the Origin-Destination survey data avaiiable from WisDOT, including two stateline areas, one county, and five cities, are analyzed and the zone-to'||'&'||'not;zone truck trip tables are developed. The resulting Origin-Destination Trip Length Frequency (00 TLF) distributions by trip type are applied to the Gravity Model (GM) for comparison with comparable TLFs from the GM. The gravity model is calibrated to obtain friction factor curves for the three trip types, Internal-Internal (I-I), Internal-External (I-E), and External-External (E-E). ~oth "macro-scale" calibration and "micro-scale" calibration are performed. The comparison of the statewide GM TLF with the 00 TLF for the macro-scale calibration does not provide suitable results because the available 00 survey data do not represent an unbiased sample of statewide truck trips. For the "micro-scale" calibration, "partial" GM trip tables that correspond to the 00 survey trip tables are extracted from the full statewide GM trip table. These "partial" GM trip tables are then merged and a partial GM TLF is created. The GM friction factor curves are adjusted until the partial GM TLF matches the 00 TLF. Three friction factor curves, one for each trip type, resulting from the micro-scale calibration produce a reasonable GM truck trip model. A key methodological issue for GM. calibration involves the use of multiple friction factor curves versus a single friction factor curve for each trip type in order to estimate truck trips with reasonable accuracy. A single friction factor curve for each of the three trip types was found to reproduce the 00 TLFs from the calibration data base. Given the very limited trip generation data available for this research, additional refinement of the gravity model using multiple mction factor curves for each trip type was not warranted. In the traditional urban transportation planning studies, the zonal trip productions and attractions and region-wide OD TLFs are available. However, for this research, the information available for the development .of the GM model is limited to Ground Counts (GC) and a limited set ofOD TLFs. The GM is calibrated using the limited OD data, but the OD data are not adequate to obtain good estimates of truck trip productions and attractions .. Consequently, zonal productions and attractions are estimated using zonal population as a first approximation. Then, Selected Link based (SELINK) analyses are used to adjust the productions and attractions and possibly recalibrate the GM. The SELINK adjustment process involves identifying the origins and destinations of all truck trips that are assigned to a specified "selected link" as the result of a standard traffic assignment. A link adjustment factor is computed as the ratio of the actual volume for the link (ground count) to the total assigned volume. This link adjustment factor is then applied to all of the origin and destination zones of the trips using that "selected link". Selected link based analyses are conducted by using both 16 selected links and 32 selected links. The result of SELINK analysis by u~ing 32 selected links provides the least %RMSE in the screenline volume analysis. In addition, the stability of the GM truck estimating model is preserved by using 32 selected links with three SELINK adjustments, that is, the GM remains calibrated despite substantial changes in the input productions and attractions. The coverage of zones provided by 32 selected links is satisfactory. Increasing the number of repetitions beyond four is not reasonable because the stability of GM model in reproducing the OD TLF reaches its limits. The total volume of truck traffic captured by 32 selected links is 107% of total trip productions. But more importantly, ~ELINK adjustment factors for all of the zones can be computed. Evaluation of the travel demand model resulting from the SELINK adjustments is conducted by using screenline volume analysis, functional class and route specific volume analysis, area specific volume analysis, production and attraction analysis, and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) analysis. Screenline volume analysis by using four screenlines with 28 check points are used for evaluation of the adequacy of the overall model. The total trucks crossing the screenlines are compared to the ground count totals. L V/GC ratios of 0.958 by using 32 selected links and 1.001 by using 16 selected links are obtained. The %RM:SE for the four screenlines is inversely proportional to the average ground count totals by screenline .. The magnitude of %RM:SE for the four screenlines resulting from the fourth and last GM run by using 32 and 16 selected links is 22% and 31 % respectively. These results are similar to the overall %RMSE achieved for the 32 and 16 selected links themselves of 19% and 33% respectively. This implies that the SELINICanalysis results are reasonable for all sections of the state.Functional class and route specific volume analysis is possible by using the available 154 classification count check points. The truck traffic crossing the Interstate highways (ISH) with 37 check points, the US highways (USH) with 50 check points, and the State highways (STH) with 67 check points is compared to the actual ground count totals. The magnitude of the overall link volume to ground count ratio by route does not provide any specific pattern of over or underestimate. However, the %R11SE for the ISH shows the least value while that for the STH shows the largest value. This pattern is consistent with the screenline analysis and the overall relationship between %RMSE and ground count volume groups. Area specific volume analysis provides another broad statewide measure of the performance of the overall model. The truck traffic in the North area with 26 check points, the West area with 36 check points, the East area with 29 check points, and the South area with 64 check points are compared to the actual ground count totals. The four areas show similar results. No specific patterns in the L V/GC ratio by area are found. In addition, the %RMSE is computed for each of the four areas. The %RMSEs for the North, West, East, and South areas are 92%, 49%, 27%, and 35% respectively, whereas, the average ground counts are 481, 1383, 1532, and 3154 respectively. As for the screenline and volume range analyses, the %RMSE is inversely related to average link volume. 'The SELINK adjustments of productions and attractions resulted in a very substantial reduction in the total in-state zonal productions and attractions. The initial in-state zonal trip generation model can now be revised with a new trip production's trip rate (total adjusted productions/total population) and a new trip attraction's trip rate. Revised zonal production and attraction adjustment factors can then be developed that only reflect the impact of the SELINK adjustments that cause mcreases or , decreases from the revised zonal estimate of productions and attractions. Analysis of the revised production adjustment factors is conducted by plotting the factors on the state map. The east area of the state including the counties of Brown, Outagamie, Shawano, Wmnebago, Fond du Lac, Marathon shows comparatively large values of the revised adjustment factors. Overall, both small and large values of the revised adjustment factors are scattered around Wisconsin. This suggests that more independent variables beyond just 226; population are needed for the development of the heavy truck trip generation model. More independent variables including zonal employment data (office employees and manufacturing employees) by industry type, zonal private trucks 226; owned and zonal income data which are not available currently should be considered. A plot of frequency distribution of the in-state zones as a function of the revised production and attraction adjustment factors shows the overall " adjustment resulting from the SELINK analysis process. Overall, the revised SELINK adjustments show that the productions for many zones are reduced by, a factor of 0.5 to 0.8 while the productions for ~ relatively few zones are increased by factors from 1.1 to 4 with most of the factors in the 3.0 range. No obvious explanation for the frequency distribution could be found. The revised SELINK adjustments overall appear to be reasonable. The heavy truck VMT analysis is conducted by comparing the 1990 heavy truck VMT that is forecasted by the GM truck forecasting model, 2.975 billions, with the WisDOT computed data. This gives an estimate that is 18.3% less than the WisDOT computation of 3.642 billions of VMT. The WisDOT estimates are based on the sampling the link volumes for USH, 8TH, and CTH. This implies potential error in sampling the average link volume. The WisDOT estimate of heavy truck VMT cannot be tabulated by the three trip types, I-I, I-E ('||'&'||'pound;-I), and E-E. In contrast, the GM forecasting model shows that the proportion ofE-E VMT out of total VMT is 21.24%. In addition, tabulation of heavy truck VMT by route functional class shows that the proportion of truck traffic traversing the freeways and expressways is 76.5%. Only 14.1% of total freeway truck traffic is I-I trips, while 80% of total collector truck traffic is I-I trips. This implies that freeways are traversed mainly by I-E and E-E truck traffic while collectors are used mainly by I-I truck traffic. Other tabulations such as average heavy truck speed by trip type, average travel distance by trip type and the VMT distribution by trip type, route functional class and travel speed are useful information for highway planners to understand the characteristics of statewide heavy truck trip patternS. Heavy truck volumes for the target year 2010 are forecasted by using the GM truck forecasting model. Four scenarios are used. Fo~ better forecasting, ground count- based segment adjustment factors are developed and applied. ISH 90 '||'&'||' 94 and USH 41 are used as example routes. The forecasting results by using the ground count-based segment adjustment factors are satisfactory for long range planning purposes, but additional ground counts would be useful for USH 41. Sensitivity analysis provides estimates of the impacts of the alternative growth rates including information about changes in the trip types using key routes. The network'||'&'||'not;based GMcan easily model scenarios with different rates of growth in rural versus . . urban areas, small versus large cities, and in-state zones versus external stations. cities, and in-state zones versus external stations.
