본 연구의 목적은 흡수선량 재구성, 방사선 치료간의 재구성된 선량의 등록, 선량-체적 히스토그램의 생산등을 수행하는 선량 재구성의 임상적 응용시스템을 만들고 그것을 변형된 전립선 팬텀에 적용하는 것이다. 이를 위해 변형가능한 전립선 팬텀을 20 cm 깊이와 40 cm너비의 물팬텀에 집에 넣었다. 이것의 영상을 얻고, 전립선, 정낭 및 항문의 윤곽을 그렸다. 동일 평면에서 네개의 조사문을 이용하여 세기 변조계획을 세웠다.항문에 20 ml의 물풍선을 삽입하여 장기를 변형시켰다. 영상을 다시 획득하여 위 장기의 윤곽을 그렸다. XVMC몬테칼로 코드를 사용하여 두 팬텀및 EPID내에서 선량반응 인자를 계산하였다. 세기변조계획에서 얻어진 방사선을 두팬텀에 조사하여 EPID에서 적분형 영상을 얻었다. Demons 방법을 사용하여 변형된 팬텀을 변형전 팬텀에 등록시켰다. 이를 통해 단위체적별 위치변이 정보를 얻었고 이를 이용해 두 팬텀의 재 구성된 선량을 합하여 변형전 팬텀에 생산해 냈다. 순방향으로 계산된 치료계획 선량을 합산된 재구성된 선량과 비교하였다. 200 cGy에서 전립선과 정낭이 받든 체적은 차이를 거의 보이지 않았으나, 210 cGy 이상에서는 3%가량 차이를 보였다. 항문에서는 150-200 cGy영역에서 재구성된 선량에 의하여 받은 체적은 치료 계획과 비교하여 3% 이상 적었다. 본 연구를 통하여 선량 재구성의 임상적 응용시스템이 성공적으로 만들어 졌다. 변형된 전립선 팬텀에 적용되어 작지 않은 선량의 차이를 목표장기와 보호 장기에 보였다.

테러방지법 제정의 필요성이 지속적으로 주장되어 테러방지법이 제정되어 시행되고 있다. 그러나 테러의 개념정의, 인권침해 문제, 수사 및 정보기관의 권한 강화 그리고 테러진압을 위한 군병력 동원과 관련하여서는 여전히 논의해야 할 점이 많다. 또한 테러방지법과 그 시행령 안을 검토해 보면 테러방지법은 IS와 같은 테러단체를 규제하는 것으로 보이는데 그렇다면 북한의 테러나 국내 반정부조직의 경우, 법의 적용여부가 문제될 수 있다. 북한의 테러의 경우 군사작전으로는 국방부가 통솔권을 가지지만, 군사테러가 아닌 일반 수사에 대한 근거법규로서 국가보안법 제4조 목적수행죄 내지는 형법상 외환죄가 적용될 여지도 있기 때문에 이에 대한 검토도 수반되어야 할 것이다. 아울러 수사적인 차원에서 보면 테러방지법이나 시행령안에 수사를 주관하는 대검찰청이나 법무부에 대한 언급이 없는 것을 알 수 있다. 테러의 경우, 수사단계에서는 검경이 주관하여 범죄자를 검거 및 범죄를 규명하여야 하는데 이에 대한 명시적인 법문이 테러방지법과 시행령 안에서 찾아볼 수 없었다. 물론 테러방지법이 예방적인 측면에서 접근하였다고 하지만 예방과 현장 대응, 사후 대응이라는 측면에서 고려해 보면 검거, 그리고 수사지휘, 협조와 공조라는 측면에서 본다면 테러방지법에 반영할 필요가 있다. 이는 테러발생 직후, 테러범을 검거하기 위해서는 군사테러의 경우는 통합방위법에 의한 군사작전을 동원할 수도 있겠으나, 군사테러든 일반 테러의 경우 수사단계에 포함하기 때문에 검찰지휘 하에 수사를 개시해야 한다. 무엇보다 따라서 수사단계에서의 배후규명을 위한 장치가 현행 테러방지법이나 시행령 안에 반영되어 있지 않고 있으므로 이러한 상황에서 국정원이 정보수집 등을 예방차원에서 접근한다면 검경, 군부대에서의 후속 대응차원도 논의해 볼 필요가 있다.

돌발상황으로 인한 지체를 감소시키기 위한 돌발상황의 신속한 검지, 확인 및 대응은 고속도로를 비롯한 교통관리의 중요한 요소이며, 고속도로 본래의 기능을 효과적으로 유지하기 위해서는 고속도로 교통관리 시스템 중 돌발상황 관리시스템이 매우 중요한 역할을 차지하고 있다. 현재 고속도로에는 3종류의 돌발상황 검지알고리즘(APID, DELOS, DES 알고리즘)을 사용하고 있으며, 내부순환도로, 강변북로, 올림픽대로 등에 설치된 검지알고리즘의 경우와 마찬가지로 국내 도로 및 교통상황에 적합한 파라미터의 검증 없이 그대로 사용하고 있고 있어, 검지기 자료의 유효성이 낮은 점등과 함께 문제로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 McMaster를 포함한 돌발상황 검지알고리즘의 평가를 위해 방법론 및 시나리오를 구성하여 교통여건별, 시나리오별로 평가하였다. 모든 조건을 만족하는 하나의 돌발상황 검지알고리즘을 개발한다는 것은 어려우며 각 도로 및 교통조건에 맞추어 최적의 알고리즘을 적용하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 돌발상황 검지알고리즘 개발은 교통류 분석에서 살펴본 바와 같이 전체차로의 검지기 데이터를 적용하기보다는 개별차로 검지기 데이터 중심의 검지알고리즘이 요구되는데 기존 알고리즘의 수행능력의 한계도 있지만 기본적으로 검지기 자료의 신뢰성이 문제가 되고 있으며, 기존 고속도로에 적용하기 위해서는 1분 이상의 집계간격 검지기 자료를 이용하는 것이 바람직할 수 있다. 또한, 이종검지기간 특성차이를 반영한 검지기별 파라메타 적용과, 위치별 교통류 특성에 따른 최적 파라미터의 사용이 이루어져야 한다.적용할 수 있다. 제시된 모형은 ILOG Cplex 및 Solver를 활용하여 기존 차량경로문제와 비교하여 다양한 고객 및 차량 수에 대하여 최적해에 근접한 해를 쉽게 구할 수 있다.보여 우위를 판단할 수 없었지만, 확정적 통행배정모형으로 설정한 경우, Stackelberg게임 접근법이 Cournot-Nash게임 접근법 보다 더 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.다.수안보 등 지역에서 나타난다 이러한 이상대 주변에는 대개 온천이 발달되어 있었거나 새로 개발되어 있는 곳이다. 온천에 이용하고 있는 시추공의 자료는 배제하였으나 온천이응으로 직접적으로 영향을 받지 않은 시추공의 자료는 사용하였다 이러한 온천 주변 지역이라 하더라도 실제는 온천의 pumping 으로 인한 대류현상으로 주변 일대의 온도를 올려놓았기 때문에 비교적 높은 지열류량 값을 보인다. 한편 한반도 남동부 일대는 이번 추가된 자료에 의해 새로운 지열류량 분포 변화가 나타났다 강원 북부 오색온천지역 부근에서 높은 지열류량 분포를 보이며 또한 우리나라 대단층 중의 하나인 양산단층과 같은 방향으로 발달한 밀양단층, 모량단층, 동래단층 등 주변부로 NNE-SSW 방향의 지열류량 이상대가 발달한다. 이것으로 볼 때 지열류량은 지질구조와 무관하지 않음을 파악할 수 있다. 특히 이러한 단층대 주변은 지열수의 순환이 깊은 심도까지 가능하므로 이러한 대류현상으로 지표부근까지 높은 지온 전달이 되어 나타나는 것으로 판단된다.의 안정된 방사성표지효율을 보였다. $^{99m}Tc$-transferrin을 이용한 감염영상을 성공적으로 얻을 수

가상공간 탐색은 근본적으로 가상카메라의 조작으로 귀결된다. 이때 가상카메라는 자유도 6을 가지고 움직인다. 그러나 우리가 주로 사용하는 마우스나 조이스틱 등의 입력장치는 2D 장치이다. 따라서 입력장치의 운동에 대응되는 카메라의 운동은 어느 한 순간에는 2D운동이다. 그러므로 카메라의 6DOF(degrees of freedom) 운동은 2D 또는 1D 운동들의 결합으로 표현할 수밖에 없다. 많은 가상공간 탐색 브라우저에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 여러 가지 탐색 모드를 사용한다. 그러나 다수의 모드를 설정하는데 사용된 기준이 분명하지 않고 각 모드에서 가능한 조작들이 서로 중복되는 경향이 있을 뿐만 아니라 입력장치의 감각 대응성(kinesthetic correspondence)이 미흡하기 때문에 사용자가 공간을 탐색할 때 상황을 장악하고 있다는 느낌을 가지기 힘들다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 일관적이면서도 포괄적인 단일 탐색 메타포어가 필요한데 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 헬리콥터 조종사 메타포어를 제안한다. 헬리콥터 조종사 메타포어를 이용한다는 것은 조종장치들에 의해 사용자가 공간에서 날고있는 가상 헬리콥터의 조종사가 되어 공간 영상을 탐색 한다는 의미이다. 본 논문에서는 헬리콥터의 6DOF 운동을 직관적으로 조작하기 위해서 이를 6개의 2D 운동공간, 즉, (1) 평면상의 이동, (2) 수직면상의 이동, (3) 현위치중심의 피치, 요회전, (4) 현위치중심의 롤, 피치회전, (5) 좌우상하 선회, (6) 물체중심회전, 으로 분할하고, 각 2D 운동공간을 가시화 시켜 그 공간 자체를 메뉴화 하였다. 이렇게하면 사용자로 하여금 의식적으로 특정 모드를 선택하는 부담없이 단지 필요에 의해 적절한 2D 운동공간을 시각적으로 판단할 수 있도록 해준다. 각 운동공간에서의 헬리콥터 운동은 조이스틱의 2D 조작으로 제어한다.

본 연구에서는 artificial mussel(AM)을 우리나라 해양환경에 처음으로 활용하여 수환경 내 중금속 오염도를 모니터링 하였다. 조사지역으로는 특별관리해역인 시화호 내측 5개 정점을 선정하였으며, AM과 홍합(Mytilus edulis)을 총 12주간 이식실험을 진행함으로써, AM과 홍합 내 지역 및 시간에 따른 중금속(Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb 및 Zn)의 오염도 및 농축특성에 대하여 조사하였다. AM과 홍합 모두 시간에 따라 농도가 증가하였으며, Zn의 축적이 다른 중금속 원소에 비해 높았다. Cd, Cu 및 Pb는 AM과 홍합간 유의한 상관성을 보였으나, Cr과 Zn는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 해수 중 용존 중금속과 AM 및 홍합 내 중금속 간의 상관분석결과, Cd, Cu 및 Zn는 홍합보다 AM과 상대적으로 좋은 상관성을 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 12주의 이실실험 후 AM이 홍합에 비해 뚜렷한 지역적 차이를 보이고 있어 해수 중 용존 중금속 농도를 직접적으로 반영하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 AM은 우리나라 해양환경의 시 공간적인 중금속 오염도 연구에 모니터링 도구로 사용가능하며, 물리, 화학적인 요인에 적은 영향을 받으므로, 담수를 포함한 다양한 수 환경 중금속 오염 연구에 활동도가 매우 높을 것으로 기대된다.

이 논문은 포탈사이트 Daum에 연재되고 있는 김나임 작가(글/그림)의 웹툰 <바리공주>를 대상으로, 콘텐츠의 서사 구조와 댓글 분석을 질적/양적 방법론을 병행해 수행함으로써, 바리공주 서사무가라는 고전을 기반으로 한 웹툰 콘텐츠의 창작과 수용에 매개된 다층적 대화 양상을 해명했다. 웹툰 <바리공주>는 단위 서사가 독립적, 다선적, 중층적으로 연결되는 옴니버스 구성을 취하되, 바리의 성장담과 로맨스를 통해 개별서사를 통합하는 서사적 장치를 활용했다. 이때 작가는 예고편을 통해 고전원작(서사무가)을 웹툰의 프리퀄에 해당하는 전사(前史)로 활용했고, 원작이 지닌 젠더 비대칭성과 가부장제의 문제에 서사적으로 응답하는 서사적 재구성을 시도했다. 이에 대해 수용자는 비평적/성찰적 차원의 댓글로 토의하는 대화적 공론장을 형성했다. 표집을 통한 통계 분석에 따르면, 댓글의 양상은 〔콘텐츠에 대한 감상과 비평 ≫ 감정 반응 ≫ 직관적 총평 ≫ 지식과 성찰 ≫ 댓글평〕의 순으로 나타났다. 웹툰 <바리공주>의 창작과 수용에는 고전과 현대, 콘텐츠와 수용자, 수용과 창작 차원의 다층적 대화 양상이 작동했다. 창작의 차원에서 작가는 신화적 상징의 간극을 메우는 장치를 활용했으며, 수용자의 차원에서는 댓글을 통해 전통/민속/문화에 대한 정보와 지식, 성찰을 공유하는 문화를 형성했다. 이는 웹툰을 매개로 한 고전과 현대의 대화에 해당한다. 수용자는 웹툰의 향유를 통해, 정보를 보완하고 공감대를 형성하며, 해석학적 조율을 시도하고, 논쟁을 통해 시각을 조율하는 과정을 보였다. 또한 댓글을 다는 태도, 시각, 입장에 대해 논평함으로써, 문학에서의 메타비평에 해당하는 행위 양태를 보였다. 수용자의 댓글은 웹툰의 창작에 피드백 정보로 작용함으로써, 창작과 수용 자체가 웹툰 콘텐츠 제작에 영향을 미치는 실천적 역량으로 작동했다. 이 글은 고전을 기반으로 한 웹툰 <바리공주>가 고전과 현대, 작가와 수용자, 연구자간의 다양한 대화성을 형성함으로써, 감각, 사유, 비평, 성찰에 이르는 '움직이며 역동하는' 콘텐츠로 재구성된다는 것을 구체적으로 해명하는 케이스 스터디로 수행되었다.

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.

Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed.
