본 연구는 동맥의 압력에 따라 변하는 맥파전달시간(pulse transit time, PTT)을 이용하여 호흡노력을 검출하기 위하여 호흡에 따른 PTT 변화를 관찰하였다. PTT는 심전도의 R파 피크로부터 말초에서 나타나는 광전용적맥(photoplethysmograph, PPG)의 최대기울기점까지 시간이다. 생체 신호를 아날로그-디지탈 변환하여 PC에서 매번 심장주기마다 PTT를 측정하였으며 이산적인 결과를 스플라인 보간법을 사용하여 그래프로 제시하였다. 소프트웨어는 $C^{++}$을 사용하여 windows 환경에서 운용하였다. 안정상태 호흡 시에는 호흡의 주기와 일치하는 주기적인 PTT의 변화가 있었다. 호흡 심도를 증가시킴에 따라 PTT의 진폭이 증가하였으며, 기도저항을 증가시킨 경우에도 PTT의 진폭이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 PTT가 호흡노력에 따라 반응하는 것을 시사한다. 아울러 PTT를 이용한 호흡노력 모니터링은 비침습적 방법으로써 호흡장애를 감시하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Ultrasonic Vibrator is designed to achieve the maximum vibration amplitude at 30 kHz by in-cluding a horn (diameter, 40 mm), mechanical vibration amplifier at the top of the ultrasonic vibrator in the system and making the complete system resonate. In addition, it is experimentally visualized by particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) that the acoustic streaming velocity in the gap is at maximum when the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and stationary plate agrees with the multiples of half-wavelength of the ultrasonic wave. This fact results from the resonance of the sound wave and the theoretical analysis of that is also accomplished and verified by experiment. It is observed that the magnitude of the acoustic streaming dependent upon the gap between the ultrasonic vibrator and stationary plate possibly changes due to the measurement of the average velocity fields of the acoustic streaming induced by the ultrasonic vibration at resonance and non-resonance. There exists extremely small average velocity at non-resonant gaps while the relatively large average velocity exists at resonant gaps compared with non-resonant gaps. It also reveals that there should be larger axial turbulent intensity at the hub region of the vibrator and at the edge of it in the resonant gap where the air streaming velocity is maximized and the flow phenomena is conspicuous than that at the other region. Because the variation of the acoustic streaming velocity at resonant gap is more distinctive than that at non-resonant gap, shear stress increases more in the resonant gap and is also maximized at the center region of the vibrator except the local position of center (r〓0). At the non-resonant gap there should be low values of vorticity distribution, but in contrast to the non-resonant gap, high and negative values of it exist at the center region of the vibrator with respect to the radial direction and in the vicinity of the middle region with respect to the axial direction. Acoustic streaming is noise-free due to the ultrasonic vibration and maintenance-free because of the absence of moving parts. Moreover, the proposed method by acoustic streaming can be utilized to the nano and micro-electro mechanical systems as a driving mechanism in addition to the augmentation of the streaming velocity.

지반진동특성의 지진공학적인 정밀측정의 일환으로 지반진동의 탁월주기와 지반진동의 거리에 따른 감쇠특성을 현장실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 이 조사는 세가지 부분의 실험을 통하여 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 지반의 탁월주기는 고감도 디지탈 속도지진계-3축성분 속도계를 이용하는 Seismometer와 디지탈 Seismograph를 이용하여 지반과 건물에서 일정한 주기를 가진 연속적인 미소진동으로 부터 지반 및 건물진동의 탁월주기를 계측하였다. 지반에서의 탁월주기는 0.18~0.23 sec, 건물2층의 탁월주기는 0.26~0.31 sec였다. 둘째, 지반 구조조사는 디지탈 탄성파탐사기를 이용하여 굴절법을 이용한 탄성파탐사를 실시하였다. 실험장소인 한양대학교 안산캠퍼스의 지층구조는 상부층(표토층: surface layer)은 저속도층으로서 662m1s, 하부층(지반층: base ground)은 2210m/s의 P파 속도를 갖고, 주시곡선도로부터 표토층의 두께는 약 7m로 검측되었다. 이것은 7m두깨의 표토층(top soil)과 그 하부에 사질 점토성의 지반층(base ground)이 존재함을 암시한다. 셋째, Seisgun을 이용하여 인공적인 탄성파 에너지원을 만들어 지반의 진동 감쇠특성을 조사 하였다. 거리 감쇠상수(spatial attenuation conf$\ulcorner$icient) Y는 거리에 따른 진폭 을 계산하여 Z-성분(vertical)은 0.0137, X-성분(longitudinal)은 0.0025, Y-성분(transverse)은 0.0290이고 Spatial QP의 값은 각각 5.913~7.575, 32.371 ~41.452, 2.794~3.579의 값이 산출되었었다. 이 결과 다른 두성분에 비해서 종방향(z-성분, longitudinal)성분은 감쇠경향이 낮음을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 이 경우에 구조물 설계시 종방향(x-성분, longitudinal)성분에 대 한 내진설계가 고려 되어야 할 것이다.

For the development of acoustic fishing method, the noises of fishes have been recorded and analy/'ed by many scientists. Some specimens of fishes were selected as such Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idellus Carassius carassius, and pagrosol1ms major in this experiment. The noises such as feeding noise, driving away noise, jumping noise and fi llip noise were recorded by the tape recorder, Sony Model 262, through the underwa te r microph I one, Oki ST 6582, and analyzed in frequencies bv octave band analyzer, Rion SA-55, and sound pressure level of source by sound level meter, Rion NA-opNN The supplied feed was placed within 5em apart from the hydrophone. The result of analyzed noises were as follow. Cyprinus carjJio; Feeding noise 250- 500 cps, 92- 99 dB Driving away noise 125-2, 000 eps, 101-112 dB Jumping noise 125-2, 000 eps, 99-116.5 dB Ctenopharyngodon idcllus; Driving away noise 125-1, 000 cps, 96-109 dB Carassius carassius; Feeding noise 250- 500 cps, 91. 5- 99.5 dB Driving away noise 125-1, 000 eps, 99-108 dB Carassius auratus Feeding noise 250 eps, 94-101 dB Driving away noise 125-1, 000 cps, 98-110 dB Pagrosomus major Feeding noise 230-500 cps, 90-101 dB Fillip noise 500 cps, 98-108 dB (1) Feeding noise was produced as like as snap noise of twig and gulping down saliva noise in human and dominant frequency range of the noise is 250-500 cps and noise level 90-101 dB. (2) It was found that feeding noise were not a monotonic but a complex tones though fish took the same food. (3) Driving away noise was produced not so keen and the wave form of the noise is rising very sharp and big amplitude in the oscillograph. Dominant frequency range of this noise was about 150-1, 000 cps and noise level 96-112 dB except thut of carp. (4) The frequency of snapper's fillip noise, when it produced by caudal fin in swimming at the surface of water, was 500 cps and noise level 93-108 dB snd that of jumping noise of carp about 150-2, 000 cps and noise level 99-116.5 dB.

Objectives: Attentional and memory functions are important aspects of neural plasticity that, theoretically, should be amenable to pharmacopuncture treatments. A previous study from our laboratory suggested that quantitative electroencephalographic (qEEG) measurements of theta/beta ratio (TBR), an index of attentional control, may be indicative of academic performance in a first-semester medical school course. The present study expands our prior report by extracting and analyzing data on frontal theta and beta asymmetries. We test the hypothesis that the amount of frontal theta and beta asymmetries (fTA, fBA), are correlated with TBR and academic performance, thereby providing novel targets for pharmacopuncture treatments to improve cognitive performance. Methods: Ten healthy male volunteers were subjected to 5-10 min of qEEG measurements under eyes-closed conditions. The qEEG measurements were performed 3 days before each of first two block examinations in anatomy-physiology, separated by five weeks. Amplitudes of the theta and beta waveforms, expressed in ${\mu}V$, were used to compute TBR, fTA and fBA. Significance of changes in theta and beta EEG wave amplitude was assessed by ANOVA with post-hoc t-testing. Correlations between TBR, fTA, fBA and the raw examination scores were evaluated by Pearson's product-moment coefficients and linear regression analysis. Results: fTA and fBA were found to be negatively correlated with TBR (P<0.03, P<0.05, respectively) and were positively correlated with the second examination score (P<0.03, P=0.1, respectively). Conclusion: Smaller fTA and fBA were associated with lower academic performance in the second of two first-semester medical school anatomy-physiology block examination. Future studies should determine whether these qEEG metrics are useful for monitoring changes associated with the brain's cognitive adaptations to academic challenges, for predicting academic performance and for targeting phamacopuncture treatments to improve cognitive performance.
