Premature ventricular contractions are the most common of all arrhythmias and may cause more serious situation like ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in some patients. Therefore, the detection of this arrhythmia becomes crucial in the early diagnosis and the prevention of possible life threatening cardiac diseases. Most methods for detecting arrhythmia require pp interval, or the diversity of P wave morphology, but they are difficult to detect the p wave signal because of various noise types. Thus, it is necessary to use noise-free R wave. So, the new approach for the detection of PVC is presented based on the rhythm analysis and the beat matching in this paper. For this purpose, we removed baseline wandering of low frequency band and made summed signals that are composed of two high frequency bands including the frequency component of QRS complex using the wavelet filter. And then we designed R wave detection algorithm using the adaptive threshold and window through RR interval. Also, we developed algorithm to classify PVC using RR interval. The performance of R wave and PVC detection is evaluated by using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate average detection rate of 99.76%, sensitivity of 99.30% and specificity of 98.66%; accuracy respectively for R wave and PVC detection.

As part of research to develop a permanent wave-reducing agent for hair, in the current study, 0.1%-1.0% of Polyquaternium-10 was added to a permanent reagent containing Nicotinoyl Dipeptide-23 to prepare the agent, which was tested on damaged hair. The pH change was relatively stable even after a date, but due to the hair's natural composition, 0.1%-0.6% of the Polyquaternium-10 concentration according to pH was suitable. The temperature safety experiment demonstrated it to be stable at a high temperature and at room temperature, but when a Polyquaternium-10 concentration of 0.9% or higher was added at 0℃, coagulation occurred. In terms of the force efficiency of permanent wave formation, wave efficiency lowered as the concentration increased: the longer the wave lasts, the lower the Polyquaternium-10 concentration. The permanent moisture content was found to be higher as the concentration of Polyquaternium-10 increased. Therefore, when Polyquaternium-10 is applied to the permanent wave-reducing agent, considering stability, permanent formation, durability, and moisture rate, the most suitable concentration was found to be that of Polyquaternium-10 in the cysteine-reducing agent. A novel finding from this study is that as the concentration of Polyquaternium-10 increases, the consistency of the permanent wave-reducing agent changes, shifting from a liquid to a viscous liquid formulation.

Objective: This paper aimed to understand influences on EEG conducting acupuncture stimulation, by comparing the changes in the acupoints on the body before and after normal people are treated with acupuncture at PC9 and TE3, which are referred to as Wood points(木穴), and PC5 and TE1, which are referred to as the Metal points(金穴) among the five shu points of Yin pericardium Meridian and Yang Triple Energizer Meridian. Methods: The study was performed on 30 healthy female volunteers in their 20's. EEG was measured for 5 minutes before acupuncture stimulation was conducted on PC9, TE3, PC5 and TE1. During 20 minutes of acupuncture treatment, the same items were continuously measured to find out whether there were any changes in them, and they were measured for 5 minutes after removing the acupuncture needles in order to implement a comparative analysis. Results: Comparision of EEG data before and after the treatment at PC9 shows no significant differences in all wave. Compared with the pre-acupuncture period at TE3, $\delta-\theta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. Compared with the pre-acupuncture period at PC5, $\delta-\theta$ wave and high $\alpha$ wave increased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. And Mid $\beta$ wave and high $\beta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture periods and the post acupuncture periods. Compared with the Pre-acupuncture period at TE1, $\delta-\theta$ wave, $\theta$ wave and high $\alpha$ wave increased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture stimulation periods. And Low $\beta$ wave decreased significantly (P<0.05) during the acupuncture periods. Conclusion: When acupuncture stimulation was performed on PC9 and TE3, referred to as the "Wood points", brain waves were stabled, while when acupuncture was performed on PC5 and TE1, called the "Metal points", a brain was waked. From the findings of this study, we hypothesize that the wood properties, from which growing starts in all things, are related with fast waves of EEG, and the metal properties, which stabilize and converge in all things, are related with slow waves of EEG.

It is recently well recognized that the technique for the one-sided stress wave velocity measurement in structural materials provides measurement in structural materials provides valuable information on the state of the material such as quality, uniformity, location of cracked or damaged area. This technique is especially effective to measure velocities of longitudinal and Rayleigh waves when access to only one surface of structure is possible. However, one of problems for one-sided stress wave velocity measurement is to get consistent and reliable source for the generation of elastic wave. In this study, the laser based surface elastic wave was used to provide consistent and reliable source for the generation of elastic wave into the materials. The velocities of creeping wave and Rayleigh wave in materials were measured by the one-sided technique using laser based surface elastic wave. These wave velocities were compared with bulk wave velocities such as longitudinal wave and shear wave velocities to certify accuracy of measurement. In addition, the mechanical properties such as poisson's ratio and specific modulus(E/p) were calculated with the velocities of surface elastic waves.

물로 포화된 이방성 사암에 기체상, 액체상, 그리고 초임계상의 $CO_2$를 주입하면서 P 파의 속도 변화를 측정하였다. 층리면에 수직한 방향과 수평 방향을 따라 시추한 2 개의 원통 모양의 Tako 사암들에 압전 송수신 배열 시스템을 이용하여 P 파 속도를 측정하였다. $CO_2$ 주입으로 인한 속도 변화는 일반적으로 -6%의 평균값을 보였으며 초임계상의 $CO_2$를 주입하는 경우에 약 -16%의 최대값을 나타냈다. 차분도착주시법(differential arrival-time)으로부터 얻은 P 파 속도 토모그램은 $CO_2$의 유동이 층리면에 평행할 때보다 수직한 경우 $CO_2$의 이동 양상이 더 복잡하다는 것을 명백히 보여주고 있다. 또한 P 파 속도 영상의 차이가 $CO_2$의 상과 암석내 공극분포의 불균질성과 관련되었음을 발견하였다. 초임계상의 $CO_2$를 주입한 경우, 탄성파 영상은 기체상과 액체상의 $CO_2$를 주입한 경우에 비해 가장 큰 속도 감소를 보였다 이 결과는 지중 격리시 $CO_2$ 모니터링에 대한 탄성파 방법의 효용을 확신시켜 줄 것이다.

비선형 파동장 역산은 지하의 암석과 물성을 결정하는 물리적인 제약을 위한 탄성파 변수들을 평가하는데 강력한 방법이다. 이 논문에서는 현장자료와 2 차원 탄성파 속도 모델로부터 탄성파 속도 변화를 재구성하여 만들어낸 6 가지 탄성파 속도 모드를 제시하였다. 탄성파 반사파 자료의 정보는 종종 단파장과 장파장 성분으로 나뉘어진다. 지역검색 방법은 만약 초기모델이 실제 모델로부터 동떨어지면 장파장의 속도 변화를 측정하는데 어렵다. 그러면 송신주파수들은 낮은 대역에서 더 높은 대역들로 모델의 탄성파 변수들을 측정하기 위해 변환된다 (frequency-cascade scheme) 탄성파 변수들은 P 파와 S 파 속도가 섬도에 따라 선형으로 변화는 초기 모델 가정하에 각 역산단계에서 (simultaneous mode) 계산된다. P 파와 S 파 속도 $('V_P\;V_S\;mode')$, P 파 임피던스와 포와송 비 $('I_P\;Poisson\;mode')$, P 파와 S 파 임피던스 $('I_P\;I_S\;mode')$와 같은 세가지 모드들이 탄성파 변수들의 역산을 위해 얻어진다. 각 탄성파 역산 단계에서 밀도값들은 세가지 가정하에 개선(update)된다. 탄성파 모델을 위한 각 변수 세트들에서 역산의 정확도를 평가한 결과 $V_P\;V_S$ 모드와 $I_P$ Poisson 모드 사이에 별다른 역산 차이는 없었다. $I_P\;I_S$ 모드들에 대해서도 같은 결론이 예상된다. 이러한 결과들은 전 파장에 걸친 탄성파 파동장 역산의 견고한 기초를 제공한다.

Objective: Viscoelasticity is an essential feature of nerves, although little is known about their viscous properties. The discovery of shear wave dispersion (SWD) imaging has presented a new approach for the non-invasive evaluation of tissue viscosity. The present study investigated the feasibility of using SWD imaging to evaluate diabetic neuropathy using the sciatic nerve in a diabetic rat model. Materials and Methods: This study included 11 diabetic rats in the diabetic group and 12 healthy rats in the control group. Bilateral sciatic nerves were evaluated 3 months after treatment with streptozotocin. We measured the nerve cross-sectional area (CSA), nerve stiffness using shear wave elastography (SWE), and nerve viscosity using SWD imaging. The motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) was also measured. These four indicators and the histology of the sciatic nerves were then compared between the two groups. The performance of CSA, SWE, and SWD imaging in distinguishing the two groups was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: Nerve CSA, stiffness, and viscosity in the diabetic group was significantly higher than those in the control group (all p < 0.05). The results also revealed a significantly lower MNCV in the diabetic group (p = 0.005). Additionally, the density of myelinated fibers was significantly lower in the diabetic group (p = 0.004). The average thickness of the myelin sheath was also lower in the diabetic group (p = 0.012). The area under the ROC curve for distinguishing the diabetic neuropathy group from the control group was 0.876 for SWD imaging, which was significantly greater than 0.677 for CSA (p = 0.030) and 0.705 for SWE (p = 0.035). Conclusion: Sciatic nerve viscosity measured using SWD imaging was significantly higher in diabetic rats. The viscosity measured using SWD imaging performed well in distinguishing the diabetic neuropathy group from the control group. Therefore, SWD imaging may be a promising method for the evaluation of diabetic neuropathy.
