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. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)시스템은 하나의 RFDI리더, 다수의 RFID태그 장치들로 이루어진 비접촉방식의 근거리 무선 인식 기술이다. RFID태그는 자체적인 연산 수행이 가능한 능동형 태그와 이에 비해 성능은 떨어지지만 저렴한 가격으로 물류 유통에 적합한 수동형 태그로 나눌 수 있다. 데이터 처리 장치는 리더와 연결되어 리더가 전송받은 정보를 처리한다. RFID 시스템은 무선주파수를 이용해 다수의 태그를 빠른 시간에 인식할 수 있다. RFID시스템은 유통, 물류, 운송, 물품관리, 출입 통제, 금융 등 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 하지만 RFID시스템을 더욱 확산시키기 위해서는 가격, 크기, 전력소모, 보안 등 해결할 문제가 많다. 그 문제들 중에서 본 논문에서는 다수의 수동형 태그를 인식할 때 발생하는 충돌 문제를 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. RFID 시스템에서 다수의 태그를 인식하기 위한 충돌 방지 기법에는 확률적인 방식과 결정적인 방식 그리고 이를 혼합한 하이브리드 방식이 있다. 본 논문에서는 우선 기존에 있던 확률적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 알로하 기반 프로토콜과 결정적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 트리 기반 프로토콜에 대해 소개한다. 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 시간을 슬롯 단위로 나누고 태그들이 각자 임의로 슬롯을 선택하여 자신의 ID를 전송하는 방식이다. 하지만 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 태그가 슬롯을 선택하는 것이 확률적이기 때문에 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장하지 못한다. 반면, 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더의 전송 범위 내에 있는 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장한다. 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더가 태그에게 질의 하면 태그가 리더에게 응답하는 방식으로 태그를 인식한다. 리더가 질의 할 때, 두 개 이상의 태그가 응답 한다면 충돌이라고 한다. 충돌이 발생하면 리더는 새로운 질의를 만들어 태그에게 전송한다. 즉, 충돌이 자주 발생하면 새로운 질의를 자주 생성해야하기 때문에 속도가 저하된다. 그렇기 때문에 다수의 태그를 빠르게 인식하기 위해서는 충돌을 줄일 수 있는 효율적인 알고리즘이 필요하다. 모든 RFID태그는 96비트의 EPC(Electronic Product Code)의 태그ID를 가진다. 이렇게 제작된 다수의 태그들은 회사 또는 제조업체에 따라 동일한 프리픽스를 가진 유사한 태그ID를 가지게 된다. 이 경우 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용하여 다수의 태그를 인식 하는 경우 충돌이 자주 일어나게 된다. 그 결과 질의-응답 수는 증가하고 유휴 노드가 발생하여 식별 효율 및 속도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 충돌 트리 프로토콜과 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 하지만 충돌 트리 프로토콜은 쿼리 트리 프로토콜과 마찬가지로 한번에 1비트씩 밖에 인식을 못한다는 단점이 있다. 그리고 유사한 태그ID들이 다수 존재할 경우, M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용해 인식 하면, 불필요한 질의-응답이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜의 매핑 함수를 이용한 m-비트 인식, 맨체스터 코딩을 이용한 태그 ID의 충돌정보, M-ary 쿼리 트리의 깊이를 하나 감소시킬 수 있는 예측 기법을 이용하여 성능을 향상시킨 적응형 M-ary 쿼리트리 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 트리기반의 프로토콜과 제안하는 기법을 동일한 조건으로 실험하여 비교 분석 하였다. 그 결과 제안하는 기법은 식별시간, 식별효율 등에서 다른 기법들보다 성능이 우수하다.

논산 북부지역의 천부 및 암반 지하수는 질산성 질소 농도가 최고 49 mg/L이고, 22%의 시료가 먹는물 수질기준을 초과해 질산성 질소 오염이 심각함을 보여 주었다. 토지 이용 별로 통계적으로 의미있는 농도 차이를 보여 토지 이용이 이 지역 질산성 질소 오염에 대한 주요 지배 요인임을 지시하였다. 이 지역의 질산성 질소 오염을 예측하기 위해 토양 특성, 지형 구배, 토지 이용 등의 지표 수리지질 인자, 관정의 심도와 고도 등의 관정 제원 인자와 현장수질(T, pH, DO, EC)을 변수로 하며, 천부 지하수와 암반 지하수의 두 그룹으로 나누어 다중 회귀 분석을 실시하였다. 수리지질 인자는 관정을 중심으로 하는 원형 버퍼내에서 차지하는 면적 비율을 구하여 변수로 결정하였다. 회귀 분석은 가능한 모든 변수 조합에 대해 실시하였으며 모형의 수정 결정 계수 기준으로 최적 모형을 선정하였다. 수리지 질 인자를 이용한 회귀 분석에서 버퍼 반경에 따라 천부지하수는 50 m, 암반지하수는 300 m에서 가장 높은 결정 계수가 나타났다. 천부 지하수는 암반 지하수보다 높은 결정계수를 보여 지표 수리지질 인자에 더 민감함을 보여 주었다. 천부 지하수에서는 토지 이용, 암반 지하수에서는 토양 특성이 주요 변수였고, 토지 이용 중 주거 지역은 두 그룹에서 모두 중요 변수였다. 수리지질 인자와 현장 수질 항목을 사용한 회귀 분석에서는 천부지하수에서는 EC, 논지역, pH 등이, 암반 지하수에서는 DO, EC, 자연지역 등이 주요 변수였다. 현장 수질 항목이 수리지질 인자보다 월등히 강한 설명력을 보여 일상적으로 측정되는 현장 수질 항목이 질산성 질소 오염 평가에서 개별 관정에 대해 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있음을 보여 주었다. 이번 연구에서 결정된 최적 버퍼 반경은 관정으로의 오염 물질 유입 시간 추정에 활용될 수 있다.

분위사상법(QM, Quantile Mapping)은GCM(Global Climate Model) 자료의 계통적 오차를 보정하여 보다 신뢰성 높은 자료로 재생성하기 위해 활용되고 있다. 이 기법은 사상(mapping)시키려는 대상(object) 자료의 통계분포모수가 정상적(stationarity)이라는 가정 하에 대상 자료의 누적확률분포(CDF, Cumulative Distribution Function)를 목표(target) CDF에 통계적으로 투영시키는 것이 일반적이다. 따라서 GCM에서 제공되는 미래 기후시나리오의 강우시계열과 같이 비정상성(non-stationarity)을 갖는 장기 시계열자료에 대한 적용에는 문제점을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비정상성을 갖는 장기시계열자료의 오차보정을 위해 통계분포모수에 경향성을 부여하는 비정상성 분위사상법(NSQM, Nonstationary Quantile Mapping)을 적용하였다. NSQM 적용을 위한 확률분포로 수문분야에서 광범위하게 쓰이고 있는Gamma 분포를 선정하였으며, 대상 시나리오는 CCCma (Canadian Centre for Climate modeling and analysis)에서 제공하고 있는 CGCM3.1/T63모형의 20C3M(reference scenario)과 SRES A2 시나리오(projection scenario)를 활용하였다. 한강유역 내 관측기간이 충분한 10개의 지상관측소로부터 강우량을 수집하였다. 또한 6월과 10월사이에 연 강수량의 65% 이상이 집중되는 한반도의 계절성을 반영하기 위해 홍수기(6~10월)와 비홍수기(11~5월)를 구분하였고, 기준기간(Baseline)은 1973~2000년, 전망기간(Projection)은 2011~2100년으로 구분하였다. 다양한 목표분포의 설정을 통하여 NSQM의 적용성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 전망기간은 FF시나리오(Foreseeable Future Scenario, 2011~2040년), MF시나리오(Mid-term Future Scenario, 2041~2070년), LF시나리오(Long-term Future Scenario, 2071~2100년)의 3개의 구간으로 설정하여 기준기간과 전망기간의 연평균 강우량에 대한 경향성분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과NSQM이 FF시나리오에서 330.1mm(25.2%), MF시나리오에서 564.5mm(43.1%), LF시나리오에서 634.3mm(48.5%)로 증가하는 전망결과를 나타내고 있었다. 정상성기법을 적용한 결과, 전망기간 중 전체적으로는 동일한 평균값을 갖는 목표통계모수를 사용한다고 하여도, 전망전반부에서 과다하고, 후반부에서 오히려 과소한 전망을 보여주고 있었다. 이러한 결과는 비정상성기법을 사용함으로써 상당부분 개선될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

베일리영유아발달검사 제3판(Bayley-III)의 미국 규준이 영유아의 발달수행을 과대추정하고 발달지연율을 과소추정 한다는 논란이 있어서, 본 연구는 발달지연의 고위험군인 미숙아를 대상으로 미국 규준 적용시 Bayley-III의 임상적 유용성을 살펴보고자 하였다. 본 연구는 생후 1개월부터 24개월(교정원령)의 미숙아(재태기간 37주 미만)와 만삭아 93명을 대상으로 Bayley-III와 한국형베일리영유아발달검사 2판(K-BSID-II)을 실시하였다. 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 미숙아/만삭아 각 93명을 대상으로 혼합설계 분산분석을 실시한 결과 재태기간(경증미숙아, 중증미숙아, 극중증미숙아, 만삭아)에 따른 Bayley-III의 발달지수 및 척도점수 간에 유의미한 차이가 있었다. 특히 경증미숙아 집단 내에서는 발달영역(인지, 언어, 운동)에 따라 유의미한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타냈다. 둘째, Bayley-III와 K-BSID-II을 모두 실시한 미숙아(n=79)를 대상으로 환산점수 평균 간의 차이를 살펴본 결과, Bayley-III의 발달지수는 K-BSID-II의 발달지수에 비해 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났으며 발달지연률은 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 ROC 분석을 통해 발달지연 변별에 대한 Bayley-III의 민감도와 특이도를 분석하고 Bayley-III의 임상적 절단점을 탐색한 결과, Bayley-III의 하위 척도 모두 우수한 수준의 변별정확도를 나타냈으나, 미국 규준 적용시 절단점은 더 높게 나타났다. 본 연구는 미국 규준을 사용하여 Bayley-III를 임상 현장에 적용할 때 점수 해석의 주의를 알리는 실증적인 자료로서, 한국 규준 마련시 표집 문제와 관련된 논의를 제공하였다.

산사태는 가장 널리 퍼진 자연재해 중 하나로 인명 및 재산피해 뿐만 아니라 범 국가적 차원의 피해를 유발할 수 있기 때문에 효과적인 예측 및 예방이 필수적이다. 높은 정확도를 갖는 산사태 취약성도를 제작하려는 연구는 꾸준히 진행되고 있으며 다양한 모델이 산사태 취약성 분석에 적용되어 왔다. 빈도비 모델, logistic regression 모델, ensembles 모델, 인공신경망 등의 모델과 같이 픽셀기반 머신러닝 모델들이 주로 적용되어 왔고 최근 연구에서는 커널기반의 합성곱신경망 기법이 효과적이라는 사실과 함께 입력자료의 공간적 특성이 산사태 취약성 매핑의 정확도에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 사실이 알려졌다. 이러한 이유로 본 연구에서는 픽셀기반 deep neural network (DNN) 모델과 패치기반 convolutional neural network (CNN) 모델을 이용하여 산사태 취약성을 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구지역은 산사태 발생 빈도가 높고 피해가 큰 인제, 강릉, 평창을 포함한 강원도 지역으로 설정하였고, 산사태 관련인자로는 경사도, 곡률, 하천강도지수, 지형습윤지수, 지형위치 지수, 임상경급, 임상영급, 암상, 토지이용, 유효토심, 토양모재, 선구조 밀도, 단층 밀도, 정규식생지수, 정규수분지수의 15개 데이터를 이용하였다. 데이터 전처리 과정을 통해 산사태관련인자를 공간데이터베이스로 구축하였으며 DNN, CNN 모델을 이용하여 산사태 취약성도를 작성하였다. 정량적인 지표를 통해 모델과 산사태 취약성도에 대한 검증을 진행하였으며 검증결과 패치기반의 CNN 모델에서 픽셀기반의 DNN 모델에 비해 3.4% 향상된 성능을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 산사태를 예측하는데 사용될 수 있고 토지 이용 정책 및 산사태 관리에 관한 정책 수립에 있어 기초자료 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
