  • 우리나라 단옥수수 품종 구슬옥과 고당옥을 가을에 출하하기 위하여 극만파재배할 때 단옥수수의 적정 파종기를 구명하고자 7월 10일과 7월 20일, 그리고 7월 30일에 파종하여 단옥수수의 수량과 상품이삭특성, 그리고 생육특성을 조사하였다. 우리나라 중부지방(수원)에서는 2012년과 2013년 모두 7월 20일까지 거의 매일 비가 내려 7월 10일 파종기의 재배적 안전성이 낮아 수확할 수 있는 단옥수수 풋이삭수 감소로 인하여 상품이삭수량이 낮았다. 구슬옥과 고당옥을 7월에 파종하면 70일~86일이면 수확할 수 있었고 7월 20일까지 파종하면 단옥수수 풋이삭을 수확할 수 있어 10월 1일경(출사 후 26~27일)에 수확할 수 있었다. 따라서 중부지역의 한지형 마늘이나 중만생종 양파재배농가에서 마늘과 양파 전후작으로 단옥수수를 안전하게 재배할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 파종기별로 생육일수는 최대 15일까지 차이가 났지만 유효생육적산온도 (GDD)는 파종기에 따라 차이가 거의 없어 7월에 파종하는 단옥수수는 파종에서 출사까지 약 1,100 GDD가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 일평균기온이 높으면 단옥수수의 출사일수, 등숙일수, 생육일수가 직선적으로 짧아졌으며 이들 간에 높은 부의 상관관계가 있어 일평균기온으로 출사일수와 등숙일수 그리고 생육일수를 추정할 수 있는 단순선형 회귀식을 구하였다. 7월 20일과 7월 30일에 파종한 단옥수수는 지상부생체량이 비슷하였지만 이삭수량은 7월 30일이 낮아 7월 30일 파종기의 수확지수가 낮았데, 이는 영양생장기간 기온은 두 파종기간에 $1.6^{\circ}C$ 정도만 차이가 났지만 등숙기간 기온은 $3.3^{\circ}C$ 정도 차이가 났기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 2012년과 2013년 모두 7월 20일에 파종한 단옥수수의 풋이삭 수량이 가장 높았고 상품이삭률도 가장 좋아, 상품이삭수량이 7월 10일 파종기 보다는 32%, 7월 30일 파종기보다는 23% 정도 각각 높았다. 또한 상품이삭의 크기는 7월 10일과 7월 20일에 파종한 단옥수수가 7월 30일 파종한 것 보다 컸다. 따라서 중부지방에서 단옥수수 풋이삭을 가을에 출하하기 위해서는 단옥수수를 7월 20일경에 파종하는 것이 재배적 안전성, 상품이삭율과 상품이삭수량 그리고 상품이삭특성으로 보았을 때 가장 적기라고 생각되었다.

  • ${\cdot}$저준위 고체폐기물의 유리고화처리 적용연구를 위하여, 현대모비스는 원자력환경기술원 및 프랑스 SGN사와 공동으로 99년 10월에 유리화 실증설비를 건설한 바 있다. 실증설비를 활용하여 모의핵종(Co, Cs)을 포함한 비방사성 이온교환수지, 잡고체 등에 대한 70여 회 이상의 실증시험 수행을 통하여, 대상폐기물을 안전하고 효과적으로 처리할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 그러나 처리공정 중 고온세라믹필터계통(High Temperature Filter : HTF)에서 발생하는 분진의 처리가 문제점으로 도출되었다. 또한 저온용융로(Cold Crucible Melter : CCM)와 HTF를 연결하는 냉각파이프는 장기간 운전시 CCM으로부터 발생한 분진이 침적되어 배관막힘의 우려가 있다. 이와 관련, 기 개발한 유리화공정에 추가하여 HTF에서 발생한 분진을 재순환하는 장치와 냉각파이프 내 침적분진을 제거하는 장치를 개발하였다. 유리화공정 중 HTF에서 발생하는 분진의 처리는 유리화설비의 감용비, 처분비용 및 유리용탕의 조절 측면에서 특히 중요하다. 분진재순환장치(Dust Recycling System : DRS)의 개념은, HTF 하단부에서 발생분진을 수거, 물과 섞어 슬러리 형태로 제조, 이송하여 CCM 내로 다시 투입함으로써 분진을 처리할 수 있도록 하였다. DRS의 주 기능은 분진 내의 모의핵종 및 주요 유리성분을 다시 CCM으로 재순환 처리하는 것이며, 이에 따라 유리용탕의 성분을 일정하게 유지하고 또한 유리배출을 용이하게 하는 데 기여한다. 또한 시멘트 고화설비 등과 같은 별도의 분진처리설비를 고려할 필요가 없다. 제진장치는 주기적으로 운전 중 가동할 경우, 냉각파이프 내의 분진침적에 의한 막힘 방지와 함께 배관 내 침적된 분진을 CCM 내로 다시 처리하는 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 유리화실증시험을 통하여 DRS와 제진장치에 대한 전체적인 성능평가를 성공적으로 수행하였으며, 운전결과 및 경험은 향후 상용설비를 위한 기본자료로 활용할 것이다.

  • 해양 염분은 전 지구 규모에서 해수 순환에 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라, 연·근해 지역 저염분수가 어족자원 및 수산업에 피해를 줄 수 있는 등 해양 식생환경의 변화를 줄 수 있다. 해수의 표면 특성인 sea surface salinity (SSS)에 따라 마이크로웨이브 영역의 방사율이 달라지며, 이를 통해 Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) 등 위성 센서를 활용한 SSS 산출물이 제공되고 있다. 하지만 마이크로파 위성 센서 기반의 SSS 산출물은 낮은 시공간해상도로 자료를 생산하며, 연안지역과 고위도 지역에서 정확도가 낮다. 이러한 이유로 연·근해 지역 SSS의 상세한 시공간적 변화를 관측하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 Jang et al. (2022)에서 제시한 기계학습 기반의 개선된 SMAP SSS (SMAP SSS (Jang))를 참조자료로 활용하여, 정지궤도해색센서(Geostationary Ocean Color Imager, GOCI) 영상으로부터 고해상도 SSS를 추정하는 Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) 기반의 모델을 개발하였다. 3가지 입력변수 조합을 테스트하였고, Multi-scale Ultra-high Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (SST) 자료가 추가된 scheme 3가 가장 높은 정확도를 보였다(R2 = 0.60, RMSE = 0.91 psu). 이를 바탕으로 본 연구영역에서 SST가 SSS 모의에 효과적인 환경변수로 작용함을 보였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 LGBM 기반의 GOCI SSS는 SMAP SSS (Jang)와 비슷한 시공간적 패턴을 보였지만, 더 높은 공간해상도를 바탕으로 SSS의 보다 상세한 공간적 분포와 더불어 SMAP SSS (Jang)에서 산출하지 않는 연안 지역의 정보까지 모의하였다. 또한, 중국 남방지역에 대홍수가 발생하였던 2020년 8월을 대상으로 양자강 유출수(Changjiang Diluted Water)의 거동을 분석한 결과, GOCI SSS는 한국 해양수산연구원의 보도자료와 비교하여 일관성 있는 시공간적 변화를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과로 연안 지역의 저염수 뿐 아니라, 원해 지역에서 광학위성 신호를 활용한 고해상도 SSS 산출의 가능성을 제시하였다.

  • 경제적, 환경적 측면에서 볼 때 가축분뇨의 퇴비화는 생태계로의 유기성오염물의 직접적인 유출 위험성을 감소시킬 수 있는 저렴하고 안전한 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 가축분의 퇴비화와 관련한 세 가지 시험을 실시하였다. 시험 1은 저온기의 낮은 온도에 따른 퇴비단의 특성변화에 대한 연구를 목적으로 실시하였다. 저온에 노출된 대조구와 시험구의 퇴비화효과를 비교하기 위하여 시험구의 온도가 $35^{\circ}C$에 도달할 때까지 온풍을 공급하였다. 톱밥과 왕겨 그리고 볏짚을 수분조절재로 이용하였다. 퇴비화 기간중 퇴비단의 최고 온도는 톱밥과 왕겨, 볏짚 그리고 저온 노출구에서 각각 $75^{\circ}C$, $76^{\circ}C$, $68^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$에 달하였다. 퇴비화 기간동안 퇴비단의 수분함량과 산도, 탄질비 그리고 부피는 감소하였다. 시험 2는 작물에 의한 퇴비의 이용성을 구명하기 위하여 퇴비와 화학비료를 시용한 경작지에서 옥수수를 3년간 재배하였다. 옥수수의 수확량과 영양학적 가치를 분석하였다. 시험 1년 차에 퇴비를 시용한 구의 옥수수 수확량은 화학비료구에 비해 20%정도 적었다. 시험 2년 차에는 두 처리구 간에 차이가 없었다. 3년 차에는 퇴비구의 수확량이 더 많았다. 시험 3은 생물필터에 의한 가축분의 퇴비화시 발생되는 악취의 감소정도를 평가하기 위해 수행하였다. 톱밥, 분변토, 부숙퇴비 그리고 부엽토를 충진한 네 종류의 필터를 제작하여 시험하였다. 각각의 필터는 87~95%의 암모니아 제거율을 보였다. 이 효율은 10일 동안 유지되었다. 암모니아 최고 감소효율은 부엽토구에서 운용 1일째에 95%를 달성하였다. 분변토와 발효퇴비구의 암모니아 제거효과는 시험개시후 10일 동안 93~94%의 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 퇴비화시 발생된 황화수소와 멀캡턴 농도는 각각 $3{\sim}2mg/{\ell}$ 이하였으나 필터를 거친 후에는 검출되지 않았다.

  • 산불은 예측이 어려운 재해이기 때문에 실시간 모니터링을 통해 빠르게 대응하는 것이 중요하며, 정지 궤도 위성 영상은 광역을 짧은 시간 간격으로 모니터링할 수 있어 산불 탐지 분야에 활발히 이용되고 있다. 기존의 위성 영상 기반 산불 탐지 알고리즘은 밝기 온도의 통계량 분석을 통한 임계값 기반으로 이상치를 탐지하는 방향으로 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 강도가 약한 산불을 탐지하기 어렵거나, 적절한 임계값 설정의 어려움으로 일반화 성능이 저하되는 한계점이 있어 최근에는 기계학습을 이용한 산불 탐지 알고리즘들이 제시되고 있다. 현재까지는 random forest, VanillaConvolutional neural network (CNN), U-net 구조 등의 비교적 간단한 기법이 적용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 정지궤도 위성인 Advanced Himawari Imager를 이용하여 동아시아와 호주를 대상으로 State of the Art (SOTA)딥러닝 기법을 적용한 산불 탐지 알고리즘을 개발하고자 하였다. SOTA 모델은 EfficientNet과 lion optimizer를 적용하여 개발하고, Vanilla CNN 구조를 사용한 모델과 산불 탐지 결과를 비교하였다. EfficientNet은 동아시아와 호주에서 0.88 및 0.83의 F1-score를 기록함으로써 CNN (동아시아: 0.83, 호주: 0.78)에 비해 뛰어난 성능을 입증하였다. EfficientNet에 불균형 문제 해결을 위한 weighted loss, equal sampling, image augmentation 기법 적용 시, 동아시아와 호주에서 각각 0.92와 0.84의 F1-score를 기록함으로써 적용 전(동아시아: 0.88, 호주: 0.83)에 비하여 성능이 향상되었음을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제시된 SOTA 딥러닝 기법의 산불 탐지에의 적용 가능성과 딥러닝 모델의 성능 향상을 위해 고려해야 할 방향은 향후 산불탐지 분야에 대한 딥러닝 적용에 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

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

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen.

  • 우리 나라에 있어서 수도작의 안전다수를 위한 재배법, 특히 시료의 합리화를 기하기 위한 기초적 자료를 얻기 위하여 수도 독자의 영양생리적 반응, 형태형성 내지 수량구성에 대한 특징을 살펴보았으며, 우리 나라의 수도 재배환경조건(온도ㆍ일조ㆍ강수 및 토양조건)을 대국적 견지에서 인접국인 일본과 지역별로 비교 검토하였고, 그 특징으로 본 시료에 관한 개선조건을 위해 비료의 3요소와 규산 및 그 밖에 수종의 미량요소에 대하여 검토하였다. 1. 우리 나라의 최근 14개년간의 10a당 현미평균수량은 204kg인데 이에 비하여 일본은 77%, 대만은 13% 높으며, 년간평균증가량은 우리나라가 4.2kg이고, 이에 비해 일본은 81%, 대만은 62% 더 증가되고 있다. 그리고 수량의 년간변이계수는 우리 나라가 7.7%이며 일본은 6.7%, 대만이 2.5%로서 우리 나라는 년간변이가 매우 커서 생산의 안전도가 가장 낮다. 2. 풍흉고조시험성적으로 본 우리 나라 수도와 일본의 수도를 형태형성면에서 비교하여 본즉 다음과 같았다. (1) 3.3$m^2$ 당 수수는 우리 나라의 891개에 비하여 일본은 13%나 더 많고, (2) 최고분얼기의 경수는 3.3$m^2$당 우리 나라는 1150개인데 비하여 일본은 19% 더 많았으며, (3) 유효경비율은 우리 나라가 77.5%, 일본이 74.7%로서 우리 나라가 다소 높았다. 그러나 총경수가 적은데 q하여는 유효경율이 너무 낮다. (4) 신고비는 우리 나라가 85.4%이고, 일본은 96.3%로서 우리 나라의 수도가 13% 낮았다. 3. 도작기간중의 평균기온은 수원ㆍ광주ㆍ대구는 거의 동일하며, 일본의 중국지방(부산)의 그것과 비슷하였다. 즉 우리 나라 도작기간중의 기온은 일본의 서남난지에 유사한 것이었다. 4. 우리 나라의 수도이앙기는 이앙한계최저온도 13$^{\circ}C$로 보면 현행(6월 10일 경)보다 30~40일 앞당길 수 있다. 5. 우리 나라의 현행 수도작기로서는 영양생장기의 기온이 이 시기의 주대사작용인 단백대사의 적온인 20~23$^{\circ}C$ 보다 높았다. 그러나 생식생장기의 기온은 이 시기의 주대사인 당대사의 적온인 $25^{\circ}C$이상보다 높지 않다. 그러므로 온도면에서 보면 우리 나라 수도의 작기는 앞으로 당기는 것이 좋다고 고찰된다. 6. 우리 나라의 현행 수도작기로 본 기온 및 일조조건은 수도의 분얼전기에 대해서는 호조건하에 놓여 있으나, 분얼후기인 7월 중ㆍ하순 경의 일조부족과 고온다습조건은 병해, 특히 도열병의 유발원인이 되고 있다. 7. 우리 나라의 현행수도작기로 본 전국각지의 수도의 출수기는 모두 일조시간이 적은 부적당한 시기에 처해 있다. 8. 출수후 40일간의 평균기온에 의한 적산온도 88$0^{\circ}C$의 출현기일은 수원에서 8월 23일이었고, 년간편차를 고려한 안전출수기일은 8월 19일로서 적산온도면에서는 관행 출수기일은 약간 늦다고 보았다. 9. 등열기의 평균기온에 의한 적산온도는 현행 수도작기로서는 최종한계시기에 놓여 있으며, 평균기온의 년간편차와 우리 나라의 최저기온이 낮은 점을 고려할 때, 현행출수기는 다소 늦은 것으로 보았다. 10. 생육단계별의 수도체내의 질소함량은 영양생장기의 질소함량이 과다하였으며, 출수 이후에 영양조락을 여하히 방지하느냐가 문제된다고 보았다. 11. 수리불안전답 및 천수답이 차지하는 전답면적의 비율은 차차 감소되고 있는데, 이와 전체 10a당 수량의 증가율과의 상관계수를 산출하였는데, 수리불안전답과의 상관계수 (4)는 +0.525였으며, 천수답과는 r=+0.832, 그리고 수리불안전답과 천수답을 합계한 것과의 상관계수 (r)는 +0.841로서 후2자와는 고도의 정(+) 상관을 보여 천수답이 차지하는 면적비율이 작을수록 단위수량을 증가하였다. 12. 비료삼요소시험(주산력시험)성적을 보면 무비료구의 10a당 현미수량은 우리 나라가 231kg인데, 일본의 그것은 360kg으로서 우리 나라보다 약 56%나 높았다. 즉 우리 나라의 지력은 일본에 비하여 매우 낮았다. 또 무질소구의 10a당 현미수량은 우리 나라가 236 kg인데 일본의 그것은 383 kg 으로서 우리 나라보다 62%나 높았다. 즉 우리 나라의 지력을 좌우하는 것은역시 질소라고 할 수 있다. 13. 우리 나라와 일본의 답토양의 화학적 성질을 비교해본즉 다음과 같았다. (1) 우리 나라 답토양은 유기물ㆍ전질소 및 치환성석회와 마그네슘의 함량이 일본의 그것보다 낮아 반정도에 불과하였고, (2) N/2 염산 가용규산함량은 평균치로 보아 우리나라 답토양이 적었고, 규산의 시용이 필요하다고 보았으며, (3) 염기치환용량이 일본의 반 정도이었다. 14. 우리 나라에 있어서 고위수량답과 저위수량답 토양의 성질을 비교하여 본즉 염기치환용량ㆍ치환성석회와 마그네슘ㆍ가리ㆍ인산ㆍ망간ㆍ규산 및 철 등의 성분이 저위수량답 토양에서 적었다. 15. 작통의 깊이는 항상 고위수량답에서 깊으며, 우리 나라 답토양의 작토는 일본의 그것에 비하여 얕다. 16. 전기한 바의 제조건을 종합 검토하고 비료삼요소이외에 규산과 미량요소로서 망간 및 철에 대하여 수도생리 및 형태형성 내지 수량에 미치는 영향을 고려하여 보다 합리적으로 사료되는 비료조건을 제시하였다.

  • In analyzing the operational characteristics of a rice whitening machine, the internal radial pressure of the machine was measured using strain gage equipment. Changes in cylinder and feed screw configurations, screen type, cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels were examined to determine their impact on the quality and quantity of milled rice and the performance of the machine. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The internal radial pressure in the whitening chamber varied with the surface condition of the grain being processed. During the first or second pass through the machine, pressure was relatively low, reached a maximum after two to three passes with combinations I and II, three to six with combination III and then began to fall. 2. The pitch of the feed screw and the size of the feed gate opening which determine the rate of entry of grain into the whitening chamber, appeared to be the most important factor aff-::cting the degree of radial pressure, quality and quantity of milled rice and the efficiency of the machine. Using a feed screw with a wide pitch (4.8cm), radial pressure was relatively high and head rice recovery ratio \vere quite low. In this case capacity and machine effic?iency were much higher than obtained when using a feed screw with a narrow pitch (2.3cm). Very significant responses in radial pressure, head rice recovery rates and machine capacity were observed with changes in cylinder speed and counter-pressure levels when using the wide pitch feed screw. 3. The characteristics of the screen which surrounds the whitening chamber had an important effect on whitening efficiency. The existence of small protuberances on the original screen resulted in significant increases in both machine capacity and efficiency but without a significant decrease in head rice recovery or development of excessive radial pressure. Further work is required to determine the effects of screen surface conditions and the shape of the cylinderical steel roller on the rate of bran removal, machine efficiency and recovery rates. The size of the slotted perforations 0:1 the screen affects total milled rice recovery. The opening size on the original screen was fabricated to accommodate the round shape of Japonica rice varieties but was not suitable for the more slender Indica type. Milling Indica varieties with this screen resulted in a reduction in total milled rice recovery. 4. An increase in cylinder speed from 380 to 820 rpm produced a positive effect on head rice recovery for all machine combinations at every level of counter-pressure used in the tests. Head rice recovery was considerably lower at 380rpm using a wide screw pitch when compared to the results obtained at speeds from 600 to 820 r.p.m. The effects of cylinder speed On radial pressure, capacity and machine efficiency showed contrasting results, depending on the width of the feed screw pitch. With a narrow feed screw pitch (2.3cm), a direct proportional relationship was observed bet?ween cylinder speed and both radial pressure and machine efficiency. In contrast, using a 4.8 centimeter pitch feed roller produced a series of inverse relationships between the above variables. Based on the results of this study it is recommended when milling Indica type long grain rice varieties that the cylinder speed of the original machine be increased from 500-600 rmp up to a minimum of 800 rpm to obtain a greater abrasive effect between the grain and the screen. The pitch of the feed screw should be also reduced to decr?ease the level of internal radial pressure and to obtain higher machine efficiency and increased quality of milled rice with increased cylinder speeds. Further study on the interaction between cylinder speed and feed screw pitch is recommended. 5. An increase in the counter pressure level produced a negative effect On the head rice recovery with an increase in radial pressure, capacity, and machine efficiency over all combinations and at every level of cylinder speed. 6. Head rice recovery rates were conditioned primarily by the pressure inside the whitening chamber. According to the empirical cha racteristics curve developed in this study, the relationships of head rice recovery ($Y_h$) and machine capacity ($Y_c$/TEX>) to internal radial pressure ($X_p$) followed an inverse quadratic function and a linear function respectively: $$Y_h^\Delta=\frac{1}{{1.4383-0.2951X_p^\ast+0.1425X_p^{\ast\ast}}^2} , (R^2=0.98)$$$$Y_c^\Delta=-305.83+374.37X_p^{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.88)$$The correlation between capacity and power consumption per unit of brown rice expressed in the following exponential function: $$Y_c^\Delta=1.63Y_c^{-0.7786^\{\ast\ast}, (R^2=0.94)$$These relationships indicate that when radial pressure increases above a certain range (1. 6 to 2.0 kg/$cm^2$ based On the results of the experiment) head ricerecovery decrea?ses in a quadratic relation with a inear increase in capacity but without any decrease in power consump tion per unit of brown rice. On the other hand, if radial pressure is below the range shown above, power consumption increases dramatically with a lin?ear decrease in capacity but without significant increases in head rice recovery. During the operation of a given whitening machine, the optimum radial pressure range or the correct capacity range should be selected by controlling the feed rate and/or counter-pressure keeping in mind the condition of the grain, particulary the hardness. It was observed that the total number of passes is related to radial pessure level, feed rate and counter-pressure level. The higher theradial pressure the fewer num?ber of pass required but with decreased head rice recovery. In particular, when using high feed rates, the total number of passes should be increased to more than three by reducing the counter-pressure level to avoid decreaseases in head rice recovery (less than 65 percent head rice recovery on the basis of brown rice) at every cylinder speed. 7. A rapid rise in grain temperature seemed to have a close relationship with the pressure generated inside the whitening chamber and, subsequently with head rice reco?very rates. The higher the rate of increase, the lower were the resulting head rice recoveries.
