  • 4대강 살리기사업(이하 4대강 사업)에 대한 마스터플랜, 사전환경성검토, 환경영향평가, 사후환경 영향조사, 4차례의 감사, 환경부 4대강 조사·평가 기획위원회의 금강과 영산강의 5개 보에 대한 해체 또는 부분 해체 제안 등을 고찰·분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째 보 운영과 보 개방으로 인한 수질 영향을 비교하여 비용편익분석을 해야 하나 보 개방시 수질 측정자료 부족으로 보 건설전 수질 측정자료로 대체하였기 때문에 수질 영향 분석이 미흡하여 비용편익분석이 제대로 될 수 없었다. 둘째, 금강과 영산강의 보 해체에 대한 비용편익분석 결과에 따라 세종보와 공주보의 해체, 백제보의 수문 상시 개방, 죽산보의 해체, 승촌보의 수문 상시 개방을 결정하였으나, 보 유지시에 대한 비용편익분석을 실시하지 않아 보 해체 결정의 타당성에 문제가 있다. 셋째 4대강 사업 전후 16개 보의 수질 변화를 보면 COD와 Chl-a는 대체로 악화되었고 BOD, SS, T-N, T-P는 개선되었다. 그러나 보 해체시 수질 관련 비용편익분석에서 4대강 사업후 악화된 COD 항목만을 반영하였고 4대강 사업후 개선된 BOD, SS, T-N, T-P 항목에 대한 수질 관련 비용(편익)은 반영하지 않았으므로, 보 해체 편익 산정시 수질 편익이 지나치게 과장되었다고 볼 수 있다. 넷째 공주보와 죽산보의 경우 가동보가 대부분이라 수질 악화시 특히 녹조 심화시 보 개방으로 보 해체와 같은 효과를 기대할 수 있고, 세종보도 가동보가 전체 보 길이의 64%나 되므로 보 개방으로 보 해체 시와 비슷한 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 댐·보·저수지 연계운영을 통해 수질관리가 가능하므로 보 해체만이 수질관리나 수생태계 개선방안이라 단정할 수 없다. 다섯째 가뭄과 홍수에 대응하기 위해 보와 연계되는 도수로 건설로 4대강 상류 가뭄지역에 대한 농업용수 공급 능력을 확보하는 것이 필요하므로, 현재로서는 보의 해체보다는 보의 활용 방안을 모색해야 할 것이다.

  • 우리나라는 2005 년 11월에 한국항공우주연구원이 개발한 다목적실용위성 2호(아리랑 2호)를 발사하게 될 것이고 2006 년 6월에는 한국통신의 통신 방송위성 5호(무궁화 5호)가 발사될 예정이고 2007 년에는 한국항공우주연구원이 한반도의 남해안 외나로도에 건설하고 있는 "우주센타"가 준공되어 자력으로 개발한 우주발사체(KSLV-1 : 로켓)를 이용하여 국산 과학기술위성2호(100kg급의 소형)의 발사 등 우리나라에 본격적인 우주개발시대에 접어들게 된다. 따라서 우리나라의 우주개발중기계획에 따라 2010년까지 13기의 각종위성과 발사체를 개발하여 "우주센타"에서 시험발사와 발사를 자주 하게 될 것이다. 이와 같이 위성발사에 따라 예상할 수 없는 발사사고 발생될 가능성도 있게 된다. 상기위성들을 국내외에서 우주발사체(로켓)를 이용하여 발사하는 과정에서 있을지도 모르는 로켓 발사사고로 인해 지상에 있는 제3자의 인적 손해 또는 물적 손해를 입혔을 때에 선진국의 입법례와 같이 이를 신속히 해결하기 위하여 가해자와 피해자 양자 간의 공정한 책임규명, 책임한계 및 재판의 기준, 손해배상책임 등을 규정하고 우리나라의 우주개발중장기기본계획을 성공적으로 달성시키기 위하여 국내우주법의 제정이 필요로 하게 되었던 것이다. 우리나라는 우주개발을 체계적으로 진흥시키고 우주물체를 효율적으로 이용관리하기 위한 법적 제도적 틀을 마련하고, 우주개발국가로서 국제조약에 규정된 국가의무를 이행하기 위한 법적 근거를 마련하기 위하여 우주개발진흥법을 2005년 5월 31일 정부가 제정 공포하여 동법 부칙에 의거 6개월 후인 2005년 12월 1일부터 시행하게된다. 본 논문에서는 우주개발진흥법의 제정을 계기로 현재 세계도처에서 발생되고 있는 우주사고의 특성과 사례, 우주개발진흥법을 제정하는데 계기가 되었던 4개의 우주관계 국제조약과 세계 각국의 국내우주관계법의 입법례((1)미국,(2)러시아, (3)영국, (4)독일, (5)프랑스, (6)캐나다, (7)일본, (8)스웨덴 (9)오스트레일리아, (10)브라질, (11)노르웨이, (12)남아프리카, (13)아르헨티나, (14)칠레, (15)우크라이나)를 소개한 후 우리나라 우주개발의 실적과 현황 및 전망 및 우주개발진흥법의 입법배경과 경위 및 주된 내용, 2005년 8월 19일 과학기술부가 입법 예고한 우주개발진흥법 시해령 안과 시행규칙안의 주요내용, 앞으로의 과제로서 우리나라 우주관계기구의 개혁 등 순서로 설명하였다. 본 논문의 핵심이 되는 사항인 앞으로의 과제로서 우주관계기구의 개혁의 문제는 필자가 과학기술부의 우주관계 담당부서의 기구개혁과 한국항공우주연구원의 기구를 확대 개편하여 한국항공우주개발공사(가칭)의 설립을 제안하는 이유는 각종위성 및 발사체의 개발지연과 우주센터의 건립이 지연되지 않도록 하고 앞으로 우주개발중기계획에 따라 각종위성 및 발사체의 개발이 2010년까지 당초 정한 목표 년도에 완성시키어 우리나라의 우주산업을 세계10위권 내에 조기에 진입시키고자 하는데 그 목표가 있는 것이다.

  • 배경: 폐동맥 밴딩은 폐혈류의 감소를 목적으로 일부 환자군에서 시행하는 단계적 수술의 일단계 수술이다. 본 연구에서는 폐동맥 밴딩을 시행받은 환자들의 수술적응증과 수술위험인자를 후향적으로 분석하여 그 유용성을 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구는 1986년 1월부터 2003년 12월까지의 18년간 폐동맥 밴딩을 시행 받은 172명의 환자 중 추적관찰이 가능했던 154명의 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 환자들의 평균연령은 $2.5\pm12.8$개월, 체중은 $4.5\pm2.7\;kg$이었다. 진단군 분포는 기능적 단심실 88예$(57.1\%)$, 양대혈관우심실기시 22예$(14.2\%)$, 대혈관전위 26예$(16.8\%)$, 방실중격결손 11예$(7.1\%))$, 기타 7예$(4.5\%)$였으며, 동반된 심기형은 대동맥축착 또는 대동맥궁단절이 32예, 대동맥하협착이 13예, 전폐정맥연결이상이 13예였다. 를か: 페동맥 밴딩 후 조기사망은 $22.1\%\;(34/154)$였다. 조기사망에 영향을 주는 위험인자로 1996년 이전의 수술이 다변량 분석에서 의미가 있었으며(p=0.026), 대동맥축착이나 단절, 대동맥하 협착, 심폐기가동여부, 대동맥하 협착에 대한 수술여부가 단변량 분석상 의미가 있었다(p<0.05). 96명에 있어서 굉균 $12.8\pm10.9 (0\sim47.9)$개월 후에 2차 수술이 이루어졌으며 이 중 40예에서 Fontan수술, 21예에서 양방향성상대정맥폐동맥 단락술이 시행되었고, 35예에서 25예의 대동맥 치환술을 포함한 양심실교정이 이루어졌다. 조기 사망환자를 제외한 120명의 환자에서 추적관찰이 가능하였으며 평균추적기간은 $40.1\pm48.9$개월이었다. Kaplan-Meier방법으로 산출한 1년, 5년 및 10년 생존율은 각각 $81.2\%,\;65.0\%,\;63.5\%$였다. 결론: 최근들어 폐동맥 밴딩의 성적이 시행 초반기보다 의미있게 개선되는 현상을 관찰하였으나 시행 초반기에 비교해서 진단군 분포의 차이가 없고 오히려 수술당시 연령이나 체중은 감소하였음에도 불구하고 여전히 높은 사망률을 보이고 있다. 그러나 점차 감소하는 추세를 보이고 있어서 정확한 조기진단을 바탕으로 수술적응증의 결정과 적정 수술 연령 및 다음단계 수술시기 결정을 통해 일부 단심증을 포함한 복잡 심기형의 폐혈류 조절 목적 또는 심실 훈련 목적의 유용성은 여전히 존재한다.

  • 목 적: 유방 부분 절제술 후 방사선 치료 시 기존의 라이낙을 이용한 치료기법과 비교하여 TOMO Direct를 이용한 접선 치료 기법의 임상적 유용성을 알아보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 유방 부분 절제술 후 방사선 치료를 받은 좌측 유방암 환자 3명을 대상으로 라이낙을 이용한 쐐기 접선 조사 기법(Wedged tangential fields technique)과 조사면 내 선량 보강 기법(Field In Field technique, FIF), TOMO Direct, TOMO Direct 세기 변조 방사선 치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, IMRT)기법을 이용하여 동일한 처방 조건(CTV 내 $D_{90%}$: 50.4 Gy/28 fx)으로 치료계획을 수립하였다. 선량 분석을 위해 선량 체적 히스토그램(Dose Volume Histogram, DVH)과 등선량 곡선 (Isodose curve)을 이용하여 종양 내 표적체적(Clinical Target Volume, CTV)과 손상위험장기(Organ At Risk, OAR)에 대한 선량을 비교분석 하였다. 표적체적의 선량 인자로는 $D_{99}$, $D_{95}$, 선량 균일 지수(Dose homogeneity index, DHI: $D_{10}/D_{90}$)와 $V_{105}$, $V_{110}$을 손상위험장기의 선량 인자로는 심장의 $V_{10}$, $V_{20}$, $V_{30}$, $V_{40}$과 좌측 폐의 $V_{10}$, $V_{20}$, $V_{30}$을 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: 표적체적의 선량 분석 결과로 $D_{99}$, $D_{95}$의 평균값은 각각 쐐기 접선 조사(W)에서 $47.7{\pm}1.1Gy$, $49.4{\pm}0.1Gy$이었으며, 조사면 내 선량 보강 기법(F)은 각각 $47.1{\pm}0.6Gy$, $49.2{\pm}0.4Gy$, 그리고 TOMO Direct(D)와 TOMO Direct IMRT(I)에서는 각각 $49.2{\pm}0.4$ vs. $48.6{\pm}0.8Gy$, $49.9{\pm}0.4$ vs. $49.5{\pm}0.3Gy$이었다. 선량 균일 지수의 평균값은 W: $1.1{\pm}0.02$, F: $1.07{\pm}0.02$, D: $1.03{\pm}0.001$, I: $1.05{\pm}0.02$이었다. 각각의 치료 기법으로 $V_{105}$, $V_{110}$의 평균값을 비교하였을 때 쐐기 접선 조사 시 각각 $34.6{\pm}9.3%$, $7.5{\pm}7.9%$로 가장 높았고 조사면 내 선량 보강 기법은 $16.5{\pm}14.8%$, $2.1{\pm}3.5%$로, TOMO direct IMRT는 $7.5{\pm}8.3%$, $0.1{\pm}0.1%$로 낮아졌으며 TOMO direct에서는 두 값 모두 0%로 나타났다. 손상 위험 장기에 대한 선량 분석 결과 각각의 치료 기법 사이에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결 론: TOMO Direct를 이용한 접선 조사 기법은 기존의 쐐기 접선 치료 기법보다 치료 용적 내에 균일한 선량분포를 얻을 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 IMRT 또는 Tomotherapy와 달리 정상조직의 저 선량 영역의 노출용적을 증가시키지 않았으며 조사면 내선량 보강 기법 보다 용이한 치료계획 절차를 수행하므로 유방 부분 절제술 후 방사선 치료 시 임상적으로 유용하리라 사료된다.

  • [목 적] 의료기관의 핵의학 검사실에서 신규검사를 도입하거나 사용하던 시약을 변경하게 되는 경우 절차에 따라 검사의 특성이 분석되고 시약에 대한 평가가 이루어져야 한다. 그러나 요구되어지는 비교실험을 모두 수행하기 위해서는 몇 가지 필요한 조건이 충족되어야 하는데, 첫째 각 검사별로 수행하기에 충분한 검체량이 준비되어야하며, 둘째 비교실험에 적용 가능한 다양한 시약의 공급이 가능해야한다. 충분한 비교실험이 이루어졌다고 하더라도 변경된 시약에 의한 데이터 변동이 전체 환자데이터 변동을 의미하는 것에는 한계가 있으므로 검사실에서 시약이 변경되는 것에 대한 부담이 있다. 이러한 다양한 어려움으로 검사실에서의 시약변경은 제한적으로 이루어지고 있다. 본원에서는 원할한 경쟁 입찰을 도입하기 위하여 검사별로 radioimmunoassay(RIA)시약을 전수조사하고 비교실험을 통해 검사실에서 사용가능한 시약범위를 설정하였다. 이 과정을 공유하고자 하였다. [대상 및 방법] 본원 핵의학 검체 검사실에서 시행하고 있는 검사는 위탁검사를 제외하고 총 20종목이다. 각각의 검사별로 외부정도관리와 기관간 정도관리 결과보고서를 참고로 사용가능한 RIA시약을 전수 조사하였고, 각 시약에 대한 메뉴얼을 확보하였다. 각각의 시약마다 메뉴얼을 확인하여 검사 방법과 incubation시간, 검사 시 필요한 검체량, 시약량 등을 확인하여 본 검사실에서 사용가능한지 여부에 따라 시약 1차 선정을 하였다. 1차 선정된 시약을 100 test기준으로 2 kit씩 공급받아 데이터 상관성시험, 민감도, 회수율, 희석시험을 진행하였고, 비교실험 결과에 따라 시약을 2차 선정하였다. 1, 2차 선정을 통과한 시약을 경쟁 입찰리스트로 제출하였다. 검사 시약을 단수로 지정할 경우에는 1차, 2차 선정 과정에서 얻은 자료로 단수지정 사유서를 작성하였다. [결 과] 각각의 시약마다 매뉴얼을 확인하여 시약 1차 선정에서 제외되는 경우는 각 검사의 현재 Turn Around Time(TAT)보다 길어지는 경우와 검사 시 사용 시약량이 많아 장비사용이 불가능한 경우였다. 1차 선정에서 사용가능한 시약이 1개인 경우는 5종목 squamous cell carcinoma antigen(SCC Ag), 𝛽-human chorionic gonadotropin(𝛽-HCG), vitamin B12, folate, free testosterone 이었고, 2개인 경우는 8종목 (CA19-9, CA125, CA72-4, ferritin, thyroglobulin antibody(TG Ab), microsomal antibody(Mic Ab), thyroid stimulating hormone-receptor-antibody(TSH-R-Ab), calcitonin), 3개인 경우는 5종목(triiodothyronine(T3), Free T3, Free T4, TSH, intact parathyroid hormone(intact PTH)), 4개인 경우는 2종목(carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), TG)이었다. 2차 최종 선정결과 사용가능한 시약이 3개인 것은 T3, Free T3, Free T4, TSH, CEA, 2개인 것은 TG Ab, Mic Ab, TSH-R-Ab, CA125, CA72-4, intact PTH, calcitonin이었다. 단수 지정된 종목은 ferritin, TG, CA19-9, SCC, 𝛽-HCG, vitamin B12, folate, free testosterone이었다. 2차 선정에서 제외된 사유에는 비교실험을 위한 시약공급이 안된 경우와 데이터 재현성에 문제가 있었던 경우, 데이터 변동에 대한 수용이 불가능하다고 판단되는 경우였다. 비교실험 시 가장 문제가 되는 부분은 검체 수집이었다. 검사건수가 많고 검사 시 필요한 검체량이 적은 경우에는 문제가 되지 않았지만, 검사건수가 적은 경우(월 100건 이하)에는 다양한 농도 검체를 수집하기가 어려웠으며, 한번 검사 시 필요한 검체량이 상대적으로 많은 경우(100 uL이상)에는 회수율시험을 진행하기가 어려웠다. 또한 민감도 측정이나 희석시험을 위한 희석액이나 표준액0 물질이 부족한 경우도 문제점 중의 하나였다. [결 론] 검사시약 변경을 위한 비교실험 시 다양하고 충분한 검체 수집을 위해 적정한 준비기간이 필요하다. 또한 1회 검사 시 필요한 검체량 및 시약량에 따라 비교실험 시 필요한 총 검체량, 시약량 범위를 설정해 놓는다면 비교실험을 진행할 때마다 검체 수집과 실험계획을 세우는 데 부담이 줄어들 것이다.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface.

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

  • 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.

With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture.

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.

  • 본 연구는 대맥의 다수확 재배기술 개선의 기초자료를 얻고져 작물시험장(수원) 맥류포장에서 수원18호를 공시하여 1969년부터 1970년까지 2개년간 시비량, 파종기 및 파종량을 달리 하여 이들 처리가 수량 및 수량구성요소에 미치는 영향과 이들의 형성과정을 추구하였으며 또한 수원18호외 7품종을 공시하여 파종기이동에 따른 품종들의 수량 및 수량 구성요소의 변화를 검토한바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 수원에서 대맥 수원 18호의 출현이수는 파종기 (9월 21일에서 10월 31일까지)에 따라 8~19일정도 소요되었고 조파할수록 빠른 경향을 보였으며 대체로 지중 5cm의 적산온도가 15$0^{\circ}C$내외면 출현하였다. 2. 파종기에 따른 냉해정도의 차이는 월동기간의 대맥 생육정도와 기상조건의 영향이 크며 월동전 생육이 과도하거나 주간출엽수가 5~6엽에 미달되면 냉해에 약하였다. 3. 주간출엽수는 파종기에 따라 11매로부터 16매까지 변화하지만 대체로 원동전 주간출엽수의 차이가 심하고 원동후 주간출엽수의 차이는 적으며 특히 9월 21일 파종부터 10월 11일 파종까지의 주간출엽수의 차이는 월동전 주간출엽수의 차이에 의하여 나타났다. 4. 월동전 지상부 건물생산량은 조파구에서 많고 만파할수록 적었으나 월동후에는 파종기에 따른 지상부 건물생산량의 차이가 적었으며 생육 재생기부터 출수기까지는 건물생산량이 급증하고 등숙기간에는 증가율이 낮았다. 5. 1$\m^2$당 경수는 대체로 조파한 것이 만파한 것보다, 후파한 것이 박파한 것보다 많았다. 개체당 분얼은 후파할 때는 적고 파종기에 따른 차이는 미미하였으나 박파하였을 때는 파종기에 따른 변이가 컸다. 조파에서는 파종량이 많아 질수록 개체당 분얼수가 현저히 감소되나 만파시에는 파종량의 영향이 적었다. 6. 최고분얼기는 조파할 경우에 일찍 오고 만파할 경우에 늦게 오며 파종량에 따른 차이가 크지는 않았으나 대체로 파종량이 많을수록 빨리 오는 경향이었다. 7. 분얼최성기는 파종기에 관계없이 주간출엽수가 4~6매일 때이었다. 8. 1$\m^2$당수수는 해에 따라 차이가 있으나 시비량이나 파종량이 증가할수록 많아졌으며 시비량과 파종량을 함께 증가할 때에는 수수의 확보가 용이하고 이러한 경향은 특히 적기파종에서 컸다. 또한 많은 수수를 확보하는 데는 적기 파종이 파종량 증가보다 중요하고 만파시에는 파종량을 증가시키는 것이 유리하였다. 9. 품종별 파종기에 따른 1$\m^2$당 수수는 대체로 모든 품종에서 만파할수록 감소되었으나 수원18호, 여기, 항미, 부흥는 수원 004, 수원006 칠보 및 영월 6각보다 만파에 의한 감소율이 적었다. 10. 1$\m^2$당 수수와 1$\m^2$당 경수와의 상관 관계를 보면 9월 21일 파종에서는 출수기부터, 10월 1일 파종에서는 월동전에, 10월 11일 파종부터 10월 31일 파종까지는 전 생육기간에서 대체로 높은 정의 상관이 있었으며 3월 하순부터 4월 상순까지는 어느 파종기에서나 상관정도가 낮았다. 11. 유효경 비율은 파종기 및 파종량에 따라 33~76%까지의 넓은 변이폭을 보였으며 50%정도에서 수량이 가장 높았고 파종량에 따른 변이폭보다 파종기에 따른 변이폭이 컸다. 또한 조파에서 유효경 비율이 낮고 만파일수록 높아 가는 경향이었으며 파종량이 증가하면 유효경 비율이 다소 감소하는 경향이었다. 품종별로는 수원18호, 항미, 여기 및 부흥는 유효경 비율이 높으며 이들 품종들은 만파할 경우의 증가율이 컸고 칠보, 수원004, 수원006, 영월6각은 유효경 비율이 낮고 만파에 의한 증가율도 낮았다. 12. 1수립수는 어느 경우에나 시비량이 증가할수록 증가하였고 파종량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며 파종기에 따라서는 10월 21일(1969), 10월 1일(1970)파종에서 1수립수가 가장 적었으며 이보다 조파하거나 만파할수록 증가하였다. 한편 품종별로는 파종기에 따른 경향이 일정하지 않았다. 13. 천립중은 1$\m^2$당 수수와 1수립수에 비하여 시비량, 파종기 및 파종량 차이에 따른 변이폭이 작았으나 년차변이는 컸으며, 파종량이 증가할수록 천립중은 다소 감소하였다. 품종별로는 차이가 뚜렷하여 부흥과 칠보는 대체로 무거웠고 수원18호, 항미 및 여기는 비교적 가벼웠다. 14. 수원지방의 파종적기는 10월 1일~10월 11일로 인정되었고, 시비량 증가에 따라 수량은 대체로 증가하였으며 조기 파종시의 수량감소를 비료증가로 다소 경감시킬 수 있었다. 15. 파종량 차이에 따른 수량의 변이폭은 시비량이나 파종기차이에 따른 변이폭보다 비교적 적었고, 조파나 소비조건에서는 파종량 차이에 따른 수량 변이가 미미하였다. 또한 파종량은 증가시킬 경우 증비의 효과가 크며 만파시에는 파종량의 증가로 수량의 심한 감소를 보상할 수 있었다. 16. 적정 파종량은 시비량 증감에 따라 다소 차이가 있었으나 10a당 시비량 10.5-6.6kg 수준에서는 10a당 파종량을 18~26$\ell$까지 증가시키는 것이 수량의 안정을 기할 수 있었다. 17. 파종적기는 품종별로 다소 달랐으며, 수원006 수원004 및 부흥은 비교적 조기 파종에서 증수되었고 수원18호, 여기 및 항미는 19월 1일경 파종에서 증수를 보였으며 부흥은 만파 적응성이 높았다. 18. 수량과 수수와는 모든 처리에서 고도의 정상관을 보였는데 시비량이 증가할수록 상관이 높아졌고 파종량이 증가할수록 수량과 수수의 상관은 낮았다. 수량과 1수립수는 대체로 부의 상관을 보였으며 천립중과 수량과는 상관 정도가 낮았다.
