원형질체 융합 기술은 종·속간 유전적 한계를 넘어 육종과 그 소재로 활용하고데 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서는 '흑타리'(P. ostreatus)와 '호산'(P. pulmonarius)의 단핵균사를 이용하여 원형질체를 나출하고 나출된 원형질체를 융합하여 종간 교배 계통을 육성하였다. 육성계통의 균사생장속도는 '호산', '흑타리', PF160313, PF160306 계통 순으로 빠른 편이었다. 균사 밀도는 PF160306 계통이 가장 높았고, 나머지는 중간 수준의 밀도를 나타내었다. 원형질체 융합계통인 PF160306과 PF160313 계통은 '흑타리' 품종보다 배양 기간이 10일, '호산' 품종보다 2일 단축되었다. 자실체 생장 기간은 '흑타리'와 '호산에 비하여 각각 3일, 1일 단축되었다. PF160306 계통의 생산량은 135.9 g/병으로 '호산'에 비하여 높았으나 통계적으로 유의차가 없었다. 자실체 발생기간은 15℃에서 9일, 25℃에서 4.5일로 온도가 높아짐에 빨라졌다. 자실체의 갓색은 21℃ 노란색이 가장 선명하게 발현되었다. URP primer 7을 사용하여 PCR 밴드 패턴을 비교하였을 때, 전체적으로 '호산' 품종과 유사하였다. DPPH radical 소거능과 폴리페놀 함량에 있어 '순정'은 각각 62.5%, 43.5 mg/mL였으며, PF160313 계통은 각각 65.7%, 49.9 mg/mL를 나타내어 계통간 유의차가 있었다. ACE 활성은 '순정' 74%, PF160313 계통 75%로 유사한 수준이었다.

현재 사이버 공격이 더욱 지능화됨에 따라 기존의 침입 탐지 시스템(Intrusion Detection System)은 저장된 패턴에서 벗어난 지능형 공격을 탐지하기 어렵다. 이를 해결하려는 방법으로, 데이터 학습을 통해 지능형 공격의 패턴을 분석하는 딥러닝(Deep Learning) 기반의 침입 탐지 시스템 모델이 등장했다. 침입 탐지 시스템은 설치 위치에 따라 호스트 기반과 네트워크 기반으로 구분된다. 호스트 기반 침입 탐지 시스템은 네트워크 기반 침입 탐지 시스템과 달리 시스템 내부와 외부를 전체적으로 관찰해야 하는 단점이 있다. 하지만 네트워크 기반 침입 탐지 시스템에서 탐지할 수 없는 침입을 탐지할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 호스트 기반의 침입 탐지 시스템에 관한 연구를 수행했다. 호스트 기반의 침입 탐지 시스템 모델의 성능을 평가하고 개선하기 위해서 2018년에 공개된 호스트 기반 LID-DS(Leipzig Intrusion Detection-Data Set)를 사용했다. 해당 데이터 세트를 통한 모델의 성능 평가에 있어서 각 데이터에 대한 유사성을 확인하여 정상 데이터인지 비정상 데이터인지 식별하기 위해 1차원 벡터 데이터를 3차원 이미지 데이터로 변환하여 재구성했다. 또한, 딥러닝 모델은 새로운 사이버 공격 방법이 발견될 때마다 학습을 다시 해야 한다는 단점이 있다. 즉, 데이터의 양이 많을수록 학습하는 시간이 오래 걸리기 때문에 효율적이지 못하다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 적은 양의 데이터를 학습하여 우수한 성능을 보이는 Few-Shot Learning 기법을 사용하기 위해 Siamese-CNN(Siamese Convolutional Neural Network)을 제안한다. Siamese-CNN은 이미지로 변환한 각 사이버 공격의 샘플에 대한 유사성 점수에 의해 같은 유형의 공격인지 아닌지 판단한다. 정확성은 Few-Shot Learning 기법을 사용하여 정확성을 계산했으며, Siamese-CNN의 성능을 확인하기 위해 Vanilla-CNN(Vanilla Convolutional Neural Network)과 Siamese-CNN의 성능을 비교했다. Accuracy, Precision, Recall 및 F1-Score 지표를 측정한 결과, Vanilla-CNN 모델보다 본 연구에서 제안한 Siamese-CNN 모델의 Recall이 약 6% 증가한 것을 확인했다.

라이프스타일이 빠르게 변화하고 있고, 식생활과 식품가공 기술의 발전에 따라 가구별로 식품 소비패턴이 매우 다양하다. 본 논문은 가구 단위의 농식품 구매 정보를 담고 있는 농촌진흥청이 구축하고 있는 소비자 패널 데이터의 식품군을 재분류하고 농식품 소비행위 주체인 패널 대표자의 연령대별로 그룹화하여 농식품 소비 특성 비교를 하였다. 연령대 구분의 기준은 대사질환 유병률로 20% 이상인 60대 이상 그룹과 10% 미만인 30~40대 그룹으로 나누었다. LightGBM 알고리즘을 사용하여 30~40대와 60대 이상의 식품 소비패턴의 차이를 분류 분석한 결과 정밀도는 0.85, 재현율은 0.71, F1_score는 0.77로 나타났다. 변수중요도의 결과는 과자류, 엽경채나물류, 조미채류, 과채류, 수산물류 순이었으며, SHAP 지표의 상위 5개 값은 과자류, 수산물류, 조미채류, 과채류, 엽경채나물류 순이었다. 이상치에 민감한 평균을 대신한 중앙값으로 소비패턴을 이진 분류한 결과 과자류의 경우 30~40대가 60대보다 두 배 이상 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 이외의 변수에서도 30~40대와 60대 이상 사이에서 유의미한 차이를 보였다. 연구 결과 30~40대는 60대보다 과자류를 두 배 이상 소비하는 패턴을 보였으며, 60대의 경우 30~40대보다 수산물, 조미채류, 과채류, 엽경채나물류를 두 배 이상 섭취하였다. 상위 5개 품목 외에도 밀가공식품인 과자, 빵류, 면류에서 30~40대의 소비가 높았으며, 이는 60대의 식품 소비패턴과 차이를 보였다.

최근 데이터 경제가 가속화되면서 경영학 분야에서는 데이터 매칭이라는 새로운 기법이 주목받고 있다. 데이터 매칭은 모집단이 같지만 서로 다른 표본에서 수집된 데이터셋을 합치는 기법 또는 처리 과정을 의미한다. 그중에서 통계적 매칭은 서로 다른 데이터를 결합하는데 있어서 사업자 번호와 같이 기준이 되는 변수가 없는 경우 통계적 함수를 활용하여 데이터를 매칭하는 방법이다. 선행연구 검토결과 경제학, 교육학, 보건, 의료 등 다양한 분야에서 통계적 매칭이 많이 사용되고 있는데 반해 경영학 분야는 제한적임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 기존 경영학 분야에서 충분히 연구되지 않았던 통계적 매칭의 유용성을 검증하고 활용도를 높이는 방안을 연구하고자 한다. 연구목적을 달성하기 위해 본 연구에서는 2020 벤처기업정밀실태조사와 2020 한국기업혁신조사 자료를 활용하여 통계적 매칭 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 먼저, 선행연구를 바탕으로 통계적 매칭에 사용되는 변수를 선정하였다. 공통변수는 업종, 종업원수, 지역, 업력, 상장시장, 매출로 설정하였고, 검증을 위한 고유변수와 제공변수는 중소기업 혁신에서 가장 중요한 연구인력 비율과 R&D 비용으로 각각 설정하였다. 사전 검증을 위해 2020 벤처기업정밀실태조사 자료를 수여자 데이터 30%와 기여자 데이터 70%로 분할하였다. 통계적 매칭에는 마할라노비스 거리와 랜덤 핫덱을 결합한 방식을 사용하였고, 성능평가는 수여자 데이터와 원시 데이터의 평균값 비교와 커널 밀도 함수(Kernel Density Estimation)를 통해 데이터 분포를 비교하였다. 검증결과, 수여자 데이터 30%와 기여자 데이터 70%에서 추출된 매칭 데이터의 평균값이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타나 유사한 데이터가 매칭된다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 두 데이터의 커널 밀도 함수로 도출한 데이터 분포 역시 유사한 형태가 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 사후 검증에는 2020 벤처기업정밀실태조사에서 임의로 30%를 수여자 데이터로 추출하고 2020 한국기업혁신조사 자료를 기여자 데이터로 설정하여 통계적 매칭을 수행하고 검증하였다. 사전 검증과 마찬가지로 공통변수는 업종, 종업원수, 지역, 업력, 상장시장, 매출로 설정하였고, 검증을 위한 고유변수는 연구 인력 비율과 R&D 비용으로 정의하였다. 분석 결과, 수여자 데이터의 연구인력 비율의 평균과 기여자 데이터의 평균은 예상과 다르게 통계적으로 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 커널 밀도 함수에 따른 두 데이터의 분포는 유사한 형태를 보이는 것으로 조사되어 통계적 매칭의 적절성을 확인할 수 있었다. R&D 비용은 통계적 매칭 수행 결과, 수여자 데이터의 R&D 비용 평균과 기여자 데이터의 평균이 통계적으로 차이가 없었고, 커널 밀도 함수도 유사한 분포를 보이는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 모집단은 동일하지만 서로 다른 표본에서 수집된 자료를 통계적으로 결합하여 신뢰할 수 있는 새로운 데이터를 확보할 수 있다는 측면에서 큰 의의가 있다. 또한, 경영학 분야에서 많이 사용되지 않았던 데이터 매칭 방법론을 모의실험을 통해 타당성을 검증함으로써 연구용 데이터 확보와 연구방법론의 확장에 기여했다는 점에서 시사점을 가진다.

본 연구에서는 계절내-계절(Subseasonal to seasonal, S2S) 기후예측의 주별 예측 성능을 개선하기 위해서 딥러닝 기반의 후보정(post processing) 기술을 개발하였다. 그 첫 단계로, 일 최고, 최저기온과 일 강수를 목표 변수로, 자료의 특성과 분포에 적합한 자료 변환 및 특성 공학 기법을 규명하고자 하였다. 먼저, 6개 개별 기후모델의 S2S 예측 자료를 딥러닝 모델에 입력하기 위한 훈련자료로 변환하고, 이로부터 다중모델앙상블(Multi-Model Ensemble, MME) 기반 훈련자료를 구축하였다. 참값(label)으로는 ECMWF의 ERA5 재분석 자료를 사용하였다. 자료 변환 알고리즘은 최고 및 최저 차이를 계산하여 입력자료의 범위를 변형시키는 MinMax 및 MaxAbs 변환, 표준편차를 이용하는 Standard 변환 및 분위수를 지정하여 변형하는 Robust와 Quantile 변환으로 구성된 전처리 파이프라인을 구축하였으며, 변환된 훈련자료와 예측 변수와의 상관관계를 계산하여 순위에 따라 훈련자료의 특성을 선택하는 특성 선택 기법을 추가하였다. 본 연구는 U-Net 모델에 TimeDistributed wrapper를 모든 합성곱 층(convolutional layer)에 적용하여 활용하였다. 5개 알고리즘으로부터 변환된 6개 개별 기후모델 및 MME S2S 훈련자료(일 최고 및 최저기온, 강수)에 훈련 모델을 적용한 결과와 훈련 모델을 적용하지 않은 결과를 ERA5와의 공간상관계수(spatial Pattern Correlation Coefficient)를 계산하고 그 개선율인 기술 점수(skill score)를 평가한 결과, 일 강수의 PCC 기술 점수는 Standard 및 Robust 변환으로 처리된 것에서 전체 예측선행(1~4주)에 대해 모두 높았고, 일 최고 및 최저기온에서는 예측 선행시간 3~4주에서만 높게 나타났다. 또한, 일 강수에서 특성 선택에 따른 훈련자료의 차원 감소가 예측 성능 변화에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 일 최고 및 최저기온의 경우에는 특성 선택에 의한 훈련자료의 특성 정보 감소가 오히려 예측 성능을 저하시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 원시자료에서 예측성이 높은 1~2주 기온 예측 개선을 위한 적합한 전처리 변환 알고리즘이나 특성 선택을 찾을 수 없었다. 후속 연구에서는 원시 예측 성능이 강수에 비해 높으나 딥러닝 훈련 모델에 의한 후보정 효과가 미미한 예측 선행 1~2주 기온 예측의 저조 원인에 대해 탐색하고, 다양한 딥러닝 훈련 모델로의 적용 및 초매개변수 조정 등 학습 과정의 최적화를 통해 S2S 기후 예측 성능을 개선하고자 한다.

본 연구는 fibroin을 피복하여 견섬유의 경막적 성질을 지배하는 sericin에 대한 일연의 연구를 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. I. Sericin Fraction의 물리화학적 특성에 관한 실험 1) 난용성 sericin은 역용성 sericin에 비하여 polar side chain을 가진 amino산(Tyr, Ser)은 적은 반면 alanine과 leucine 등의 수화성이 적은 amino산이 측정되었다. 2) 수화성의 amine산은 견사의 외층부에서, 그리고 수화성이 적은 amino산은 fibroin에 가까운 부위에 많이 존재하였다. 3) 용수에 대한 sericin의 팽윤, 용해성은 alnino산 조성만으로 해석하기는 곤란하며 sericin의 결정구조나 이차구조와의 복합구조로 변화한다고 생각된다. 4) 견사의 간섭은 환상에 가까우나 정연처리로서 소멸하였다. 5) 작잠견 sericin은 가잠견 sericin과 차이가 있었는데 자오선상에 강한 환상 Ring이 많았다. 6) Mosher 법으로 분별한 A와 B fraction 사이의 amino산 조성에는 차이가 없었다. 7) Sericin I, II, III의 X-선도에 있어서는 큰 차이는 인정되지 않으나 측쇄간격에 해당 하는 Ring에서 차이가 인정되었다. 8) 분자량 150이상의 amino산(Cys, Tyr, Phe, His,Arg)은 6N-HCl, 60분의 가수분해로서 정양되지 않았다. 9) 4.6$\AA$의 X-선 간섭은 습열과 ether 및 alcohol로 처리하므로서 소멸하는 경향이었다. 10) sericin의 가수분해물(6N-HCl)은 자오선상에 간섭 Ring(2$\AA$)을 출현시켰다. 11) 가수분해 sericin 잔사는 어느 특정한 amino산의 peptide로 추정된다. 12) Seriein III의 분해온도는 Sericin I과 II보다 높았다. 13) 견층 부위별 sericin의 D.T.A 곡선에 었어서, 내층의 sercin은 15$0^{\circ}C$와 245$^{\circ}C$에서 흡열 peak가 나타나고 외, 중층의 것보다 고온측에 이동하였다. 14) IR-spectrum에 의한 sericin fraction(Sericin I, II, III, 외층, 중층 및 내층의 sercin)의 적외선흡수 결과는 일치하였다. II. 제사공정에서의 Sericin의 팽윤, 용해특성에 관한 실험 1) 3,000 R.P.M으로 침지처리된 견층의 자유성수분은 15분간으로 탈수가 가능하고 이 경우의 원심력은 13$\times$$10^4$dyne/g 이었다. 2) sericin에 대한 Folin시약의 발색에 필요한 시간은 실온에서 30분이었다. 3) 가시광선중 측정가능파장은 500~750m$\mu$이다. 4) 실제 비색정량의 경우 정도가 높은 측정치를 얻기 위해서는, 저농도(10$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$)인 때는 650m$\mu$에서 그 이상의 농도에서늘 500m$\mu$으로 측정해야 했다. 5) sericin과 egg albumin의 파장별 흡광도곡선형은 일치하나 흡광도는 sericin이 높았다. 6) 비색분석법에 의하여 측정된 sericin의 량은 Kjeldahl 법에 비해 적은 값을 나타냈다. 7) 견층의 팽윤, 용해도에 영향하는 처리조건으로서는 온도와 시간으로서 시간보다도 온도의 방과가 켰다. 8) 팽윤, 용해도를 촉진하는 처리온도와 시간과의 관계는 저온(7$0^{\circ}C$)에서는 시간의 증가에 따라서 팽윤, 용해도는 서서히 증대하나 고온에 있어서는 단시간의 처리로 현저히 증대했다. 9) 생견의 건조온도가 높아지면 견층의 팽윤, 용해도는 반대로 감소했다. 10) 견층의 두께가 크게 되면 일정시간에 있어서의 팽윤, 용해성은 저하하였다. 11) 견층부위별 팽윤, 용해성은 외>중>내층의 순이고 품종에 따라서는 견층부위별로 차이가 있었다. 12) 견층의 납물질제거처리를 하게 되면 sericin의 팽윤, 용해성은 대조구에 비해 감소하였다. 13) 음 ion 활성제는(pH 6.0 부근) sericin의 팽윤, 용해도를 촉진시켰다. 14) 양 ion 활성제는 위와 같은 조건에서 sericin 의 흡착현상을 나타내었다. 15) 경도성분(Ca, Mg)의 농도가 증가하면, 용수의 pH는 발성방향으로 이동하였다. 16) 용수중의 경도성분과 sericin과는 서로 완충작용을 나타내었다. 17) Ca와 Mg의 경도성분이 sericin의 팽윤, 용해에 미치는 영향을 비교하면 Ca 성분이 팽윤, 용해를 억제하였 다. 18) 용수중의 경도성분의 용존은 전기전도도를 증가시켰다.

질의응답 시스템은 크게 사용자의 질의를 분석하는 방법인 질의 분석과 문서 내에서 적합한 정답을 추출하는 방법인 정답 추출로 이루어지며, 두 방법에 대한 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 문장의 의존 구문 분석 결과를 이용하여 질의응답 시스템 내 정답 추출의 성능 향상을 위한 연구를 진행한다. 정답 추출의 성능을 높이기 위해서는 문장의 문법적인 정보를 정확하게 반영할 필요가 있다. 한국어의 경우 어순 구조가 자유롭고 문장의 구성 성분 생략이 빈번하기 때문에 의존 문법에 기반한 의존 구문 분석이 적합하다. 기존에 의존 구문 분석을 질의응답 시스템에 반영했던 연구들은 구문 관계 정보나 구문 형식의 유사도를 정의하는 메트릭을 사전에 정의해야 한다는 한계점이 있었다. 또 문장의 의존 구문 분석 결과를 트리 형태로 표현한 후 트리 편집 거리를 계산하여 문장의 유사도를 계산한 연구도 있었는데 이는 알고리즘의 연산량이 크다는 한계점이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 구문 패턴에 대한 정보를 사전에 정의하지 않고 정답 후보 문장을 그래프로 나타낸 후 그래프 정보를 효과적으로 반영할 수 있는 Graph2Vec을 활용하여 입력 자질을 생성하였고, 이를 정답 추출모델의 입력에 추가하여 정답 추출 성능 개선을 시도하였다. 의존 그래프를 생성하는 단계에서 의존 관계의 방향성 고려 여부와 노드 간 최대 경로의 길이를 다양하게 설정하며 자질을 생성하였고, 각각의 경우에 따른 정답추출 성능을 비교하였다. 본 연구에서는 정답 후보 문장들의 신뢰성을 위하여 웹 검색 소스를 한국어 위키백과, 네이버 지식백과, 네이버 뉴스로 제한하여 해당 문서에서 기존의 정답 추출 모델보다 성능이 향상함을 입증하였다. 본 연구의 실험을 통하여 의존 구문 분석 결과로 생성한 자질이 정답 추출 시스템 성능 향상에 기여한다는 것을 확인하였고 해당 자질을 정답 추출 시스템뿐만 아니라 감성 분석이나 개체명 인식과 같은 다양한 자연어 처리 분야에 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert.

To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

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.

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.

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.

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.
