무등산국립공원의 과거(1966년)와 현재(2017년) 항공사진으로 암설사면 분포면적을 분석했고, 암설사면과 그 일대의 식생을 조사하여 암설사면의 면적 변화에 영향을 주는 식생의 특성을 알아보았다. 무등산에 외관상 보이는 암설사면의 면적은 과거보다 1/4수준까지 줄어들었다. 이곳의 암설사면은 51년 동안 식생 피복에 의해 연평균 2.3ha씩 감소했다. 특히, 저지대 완경사지에 소면적의 암설사면은 식생 피복이 활발하여 대부분이 사라졌다. 하지만 서향, 남서향, 남향 그리고 대면적의 암설사면이 남아 있었는데 이는 태양의 복사열이 암괴의 표면온도를 급속도로 상승시켜, 수분 건조에 따른 수목 생육이 불리해졌기 때문이다. 이런 입지특성 때문에 가장 넓은 덕산너덜 중간부의 소규모 식생은 인접한 산림지역과 다른 특성을 보였다. 덕산너덜에는 양지바른 곳이나 내건조성이 뛰어난 수종이 흔하게 출현했다. 하지만, 토양조건이 양호한 계곡부에 잘 자라는 호습성 수종 또한 세력이 우세했다. 이곳 일부에는 암괴 틈사이로 세립물질과 유기물 축적으로 토양층이 발달해 이런 수종이 정착해 자라는 것으로 보인다. 한편, 무등산 정상부에는 산림이 암설사면을 덮었는데 고지대에 전형적으로 자라는 신갈나무·철쭉이 우세했다. 이곳은 덕산너덜처럼 암괴 밀도가 높지 않고 토양이 드러나, 식생 발달에 유리했다고 본다. 또한 이곳에는 계곡부에 출현하는 물푸레나무와 당단풍나무의 세력이 강했다. 이는 일부 지역에 암괴들이 떨어져 아래에 쌓이면서 원지형을 오목한 형태의 함몰지형으로 만들어, 빗물 집수로 인해 토양수분이 높아졌기 때문이다. 결론적으로 암괴사면의 면적, 암괴밀도, 분포유형이 암설지형에서의 식생발달과 종조성에 지대한 영향을 미쳤다고 본다.

시조는 발생초기부터 당대의 역사 시대적 배경에 따라 그 틀과 내용이 조금씩 변하면서 융통성 있고 유연하게 적응해 왔다. 이런 점이 당대의 시대적 배경이나 사상, 실태 등을 반영해서 당시의 독자들의 공감대를 이끌어낼 수 있었으며, 그러면서도 시조를 시조답게 하는 시조성만은 그대로 고수해 왔기에 '시조'라는 장르가 현재까지도 생존할 수 있었다. 어느 시대나 어떤 배경에서나 어떤 상황에서도 3장이라는 정형성은 지켜졌으며, 3, 3조나 3, 4조를 유지했고, 또 종장의 첫 구 3자도 고수했다. 이러한 시조성은 시대적인 간극에도 불구하고 '시조'라는 공분모 안에 모두 수렴시킬 수 있는 동인을 마련했다. 한국시가에 있어서 시조는, 공적 기능에서 사적 기능으로 변모가 이루어진 최초의 양식으로서. 그 변이과정을 살펴본 결과. 고려말${\sim}$조선조의 평시조는 그 당시 조류에 부합해서 시조 텍스트를 재도지기(載道之器)로 보아 이중적인 의미의 채색, 상징성 부여, 다채로운 문장 수식 등은 나타나지 않지만, 명천도(明天道) 정인륜(正人倫) 지향하는 성현의 가르침을 온유돈후(溫柔敦厚)하게 나타내고자 노력했다. 주제는 주로 그 당시 상황과 부합되는, 송축, 절의, 정쟁, 훈민, 한정, 강호도가, 안빈낙도, 애정 등이었다. 조선조 후기에 오면서는 사설시조(辭說時調)가 활성화하기 시작한다. 사림파의 득세와 양란(兩亂), 실학의 도입 등으로 조선조 후기에는 인식의 변화를 겪게 되었고, 이러한 변화가 시가 양식에도 적용되었기 때문이다. 결국 사설시조는 당대의 봉건주의 파괴, 유교적 모랄에 대한 반발, 근대적 특성 보유 남녀평등등 사상, 지배층에 대한 고발 및 저항정신 둥이 주축을 이루게 된다. 그러므로 저항적 리얼리즘적 현실지향적인 성향을 띠며 특히 고발문학 저항문학의 지반을 형성하는 장르적 특성을 지니고 있었다. 또한 무엇보다도 잡다한 일상사에 대한 상세한 묘사와 현실 생활에 대한 깊은 관심, 그에 대한 사실적, 구체적 표현은 사실주의 정신의 매개항이 된다는 점에서 근대성이 반영되어 있다고 보았다. 1905년 이후 신문에, 형식이나 내용 등, 여러 가지 측면에서 기존의 평시조나 사설시조에서 변이된 형태를 취하는 일군의 시조가 등장했다. 변이된 형태는 시조 텍스트의 형식과 내용뿐만이 아니라, 수용적 측면에서도 일어났다. 이때부터 시조는 '읊고 부르는 형태'에서 주로 '읽는 기록물'로 인식되기 시작하기 때문이다. 변이 된 시조 형태란, 당대의 시대를 풍자하는 '흥, 내지 흐응'이 삽입된 것, 종장의 어미가 생략된 것 등을 말한다 이러한 형식은 긴박한 상태를 효과적으로 전달할 수 있다는 특성을 지니기는 하지만, 고시조의 틀, 즉 율격이나 자수에서 많이 이탈되어서인지, 그 생명은 길지 못했다. 그러다가 1920년대 중반을 기점으로 해서 시조부흥운동이 일어나면서부터 시조 창작은 다시 활기를 띠게 되는데, 시조부흥운동은 최남선에 의해 주도되었다. 시작(詩作) 초기에는 서구지향의 시와 시조들 병행해서 쓰던 육당 최남선이, '조선국민문학(朝鮮國民文學)으로서의시조(時調)'라는 글을 통해 시조의 중요성과, 소중함을 언급하면서 시조부흥 운동을 선도한다. 그는 시조집, '백팔번뇌'도 출간하는데. 그의 전 시조집을 관통하는 것은 '조국 사랑'이라는 일 주제였다. 결국 육당은 고시조를 민족정신의 일환으로 보고, 시조양식을 채택하여 그 당시의 역사 사회적인 상황에 부합되는 주제를 표출한다. 결국 육당도 시조 텍스트를 재도지기(載道之器)로 여겼음을 알 수 있었다. 현대의 시조는 현대성(現代性)과 시조성(時調性)을 모두 만족시켜야 한다는 어려움을 지니고 있는데, 이는 전자에만 치중한다면 자유시와의 변별성이 문제가 되며, 후자를 고수하려니 고루하고. 시적 묘미가 없다는 비난을 감수해야만 하기 때문이다. 그래도 많은 작가들에 의해 평시조가 지속되고 있다는 것은 시조가 지니는 원형성에 대한 매력을 감지해서일 것이라고 보았다. 그들 중 특히 선정주의 작품에 주목했는데, 그 이유는 여러 가지이지만 특히 근대의식, 사회비판정신, 고발의식, 사실주의 정신 구현, 서민의식, 산문체 ·일상어 지향 등, 사설시조의 특징 및 성향을 잘 구현, 반영하면서 그 맥을 잇고 있고 있다는 점 때문이었다 이렇듯이 현대의 시조 작가들은 우리의 고시가 형식을 다양하게 선택해서 다양한 주제를 표출하고 있었다. 여기서 추정할 수 있는 사실은 이러한 시조의 유연성은 앞으로 시조의 생명을 항구적으로 할 것이라는 것, 그리고 역사 시대적 변화와 상황 하에서 다시 새로운 양상을 취할 가능성을 보인다는 것, 그리고 이 '시조'는 한국인의 '영원한 정형시 장르'로 남을 것이라는 사실이었다.

동계기온의 지속적인 상승에도 불구하고 낙엽과수의 동해발생빈도는 줄지 않고 있지만, 동해 경감을 위해 필수적인 사전경보시스템에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 급격한 기후변화에 적응하지 못하는 기존의 '최저기온 의존 동해경보시스템'을 보완하기 위해 생물계절이론에 근거한 휴면심도를 동해위험도 판정의 추가기준으로 제시한다. 평년 기온자료와 생물계절모형에 근거한 휴면심도의 경시변화양상은 낙엽과수의 교과서적인 내동성 변화추세와 일치하였다. 개별 연도의 기온자료에 의해 추정된 휴면심도는 연차 변이가 현저하였으며 동일 연도 내 지역간 변이도 확인할 수 있었다. 전북 김제시 백구면 Campbell Early 주산지 10개 포도원을 대상으로 소기후모형과 인근 기상관서 기후자료에 의해 연도별 최저기온을 복원하고, 최저기온 발생일의 휴면심도를 생물계절모형으로 추정하였으며, 동해정도를 조사하였다. 최저기온휴면심도 피해율 사이의 관계를 분석하여 동해위험도 판정식을 작성하고, 이를 근거로 경북 영천, 충북 옥천, 충남 아산, 경기 화성 등 4개 포도 주산지 시군에 대해 1971-2000 평년의 동해위험지도를 30 m 공간해상도로 제작하였다. 화성지역의 경우 1996년의 동해사례에 의해 동해위험지도의 신뢰성을 부분적으로 검증할 수 있었다. 월동기간 중 실측기온자료에 의해 임의날짜의 휴면심도를 추정하고, 기상청 예보기온을 소기후모형에 의해 30m해상도의 국지기온 예상분포도로 변환한 다음, 내일 아침의 동해가능성을 동해위험도 판정식에 의해 판정할 수 있는 실시간 동해경보시스템을 설계하였다. 이 시스템의 실제 운영을 위해 필요한 프로그램을 작성하고 하드웨어를 갖추어 기상청 국가농업기상센터에 이전, 설치하였다. 산출되는 최저기온 및 동해위험정보는 표준지리정보로 가공되어 기상청 농업 기상정보서비스를 통해 시범적으로 제공될 예정이다.되지 않았으며 상처에 의하여서도 전혀 반응을 하지 않았다. 고에서는 이와 같은 비상통신과 관련하여 수행하고 있는 국외 비상통신 관련표준화 현황 및 해외 주요국가 별 구축 동향에 대해서 기술한다.급식성과는 급식경험 기간과 음(-)의 상관관계를, 아침식사횟수와는 양(+)의 상관관계를 보였으며, 서비스 품질의 특성 영역은 각 영역들에 대한 급식성과 점수가 높을수록 다른 영역의 급식성과 점수가 높은 유의적인(p <0.01) 양(+)의 상관관계를 보였다. 이상의 결과를 살펴볼 때, 균형된 영양공급이 다른 어느 시기보다 더 중요한 우리의 청소년들의 학교급식에 대한 만족도를 높이기 위해서 다음과 같은 제언을 하고자 한다. 먼저, 학교급식에 대한 식단 작성 시 학생들이 학교에서 제공되기 원하는 식단에 대한 의견을 받고 그 의견에 대한 결과를 게시하여 학생들이 제공되기 원하는 식단을 급식 시 제공하여 학생들이 식단선택에 동참할 수 있는 기회를 주는 것이 바람직하겠다. 또한 영양사는 학급의 반대표와의 정기적인 모임을 가짐으로서 학생들의 불만사항 및 개선 요구사항에대해 서로 의견을 교환하여 설문지조사가 아닌 직접적인 대화를 하여 문제점을 파악하고자 하는 적극적인 자세가 필요하겠다. 특히 아침식사의 결식 빈도가 높았고 이는 급식성과에 부정적인 영향을 줄 뿐 아니라 학교에서 제공하는 음식의 섭취정도에도 영향을 주고 있으므로 학생들에게 학부모와 전담교사 및 학교영양사는 학생들에게 이상적인 아침식사에 대한 교육은 물론이고 아침식사를 실천할 수 있도록 다양한 방안에 대해 함께 연구해야 하겠다. 정부차원에서 학교급식에 아침식사 프로그램을 도입할 수 있는 방안을 연구하고, 아침을 결식하는 학생이 학교에서 수업시작 하기 전에 간단한 식사를 할 수 있는 정책 도입이 필요하다acid의 생성량(生成量)을 측정(測定)하였는데 periodate의 소비량(消費量)은

이 연구(硏究)는 목도열병(病)의 감염시기(感染時期)와 조직내(組織內) 감염속도(感染速度) 및 감염(感染)에 영향(影響)을 미치는 전염원(傳染源)의 소재(所在), 엽초내외의 제조건(諸條件) 등(等)을 구명(究明)하여 합리적(合理的)인 방제체계(防除體系)를 확립(確立)하는 자료(資料)를 얻고자 실시(實施)하였다. 1. 벼 이삭목도열병(病)의 감염(感染) 최성기(最盛期)는 수잉기(穗孕期)였으며 그 다음이 출수기(出穗期)로 이 시기(時期)에 대부분의 이삭목이 감염(感梁)되고 있었다. 그러나 통일계(統一系) 품종(品種)은 출수후(出穗後)에도 환경(環境)에 따라 높은 감염(感染) 가능성(可能性)을 갖고 있었다. 2. 벼 이 삭목도열병(病)의 잠복기간(潛伏期間)은 자연조건하(自然條件下)에서 10~22일(日)로 그 변동복(變動福)이 넓었다. 인공접종시(人工接種時) 이삭이 어릴수록 잠복기간(潛伏期間)은 짧았고 감염속도(感染速度)가 심(甚)했으나 지엽절(止葉節) 밖으로 추출(抽出)한 이삭목은 잠복기간(潛伏期間)도 길고 발병률(發病率)도 낮았으며 조직내(組織內) 감염속도(感染速度)가 늦었다. 3. 이삭목도열병(病)의 약제방제(藥劑防除) 적기(適期)는 도열병균(稻熱病菌)의 감염(感染) 최성기(最盛期)와 잠복기간(潛伏期間)을 고려(考慮)할 때 속효성(速效性) 약제(藥齊)는 출수(出穗)5~10일전(日前), 지효성(遲效性) 약제(藥齊)는 10~15일전(日前)으로 추정(推定)된다. 4. 도열병균(病菌) 포자(胞子)의 엽초내 침투(浸透)는 주(主)로 지엽(止葉)을 포함(包含)한 상위(上位) 3개엽(個葉)에서 이루어졌고 강우(降雨)나 이슬, 일액(溢液) 등(等)과 함께 엽초 봉합부(縫合部)에서 침윤현상(浸潤現象)에 의해 이루어졌으며 침투율(浸透量)은 수도(水稻)의 생육기간중(生育期間中) 수잉기(穗孕期)가 가장 많았다. 포자(胞子)의 엽초내 침투(浸透)는 엽설(葉舌)이 크게 저지(沮止)하고 있었다. 5. 엽초내에 침투(浸透)한 포자(胞子)의 이삭에의 부착량(附着量)은 형태적(形態的)으로 복잡(複雜)한 수수절(穗首節)과 수축절(穗軸節)이 가장 많았고 이에는 모용(毛茸)와 퇴화지경(退化枝梗)이 크게 영향(影響)을 미치고 있어 이들이 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)을 조장(助長)하고 있었다. 6. 벼 이삭목도열병(病) 감염(感染) 가능(可能) 포자농도(服子濃度)는 계통간(系統間) 차이(差異)가 있어 통일계(統一系) 품종(品種)은 일반계(一般系)보다 낮은 100개(個) 이하(以下)의 포자농도(胞子濃度)에서도 쉽게 감염(感染)이 되었으며 발병지수(發病指數)도 매우 높아 그 피해(被害)가 더욱 심(甚)했다. 7. 벼 이삭목도열병(病)과 상관(相關)이 높은 이삭목의 질소함량(窒素含量)과 규소함량(硅數含量)은 벼 생육기간(生育時期)에 따라 큰 차이(差異)가 있어 질소함량(窒素含量)은 수잉기(穗孕期)에서 출수기(出穗期)로 갈수록 증가(增加)를 보였고 그 후 다소(多少) 감소(減少)하고 있었다. 규소함량(硅數含量)은 수잉기(穗孕期)로부터 점차 증가(增加)하고 있어 이들 체내성분(體內成分)의 변화(變化)가 목도열병(病)의 발병(發病)을 조장(助長)하고 있었다. 8. 도열병균(稻熱病菌) 포자(胞子)의 비산(飛散)은 대다수 수직(垂直) 방향(方向)으로 상승(上昇)또는 하강(下降)하여 도체(稻體)에 부간(附看)하였으며 수평(水平)으로 이동(移動)하는 포자(胞子)는 극(極)히 적어 출수후(出穗後)의 이삭목에 부간(附看)하는 포자수(胞子數)가 적으므로 출수후(出穗後) 목도열병(病) 감염율(感染率)은 매우 낮을 것으로 추정(推定)되었다. 도체(稻體) 상하위간(上下位間)의 온도차(溫度差)에 의(依)한 공기(空氣)의 이동(移動)은 포자비산(胞子飛散)에 대(對)한 하나의 원인(原因)이었다. 9. 출온기(出穩期)를 전후(前後)한 포자비산(胞子飛散)이 가장 목도열병발병(病發病)과 상관(相關)이 높았으며 지엽(止葉)을 포함(包含)한 상위(上位) 3개엽(個葉)에 형성(形成)된 병반(病斑)이 출수(出穗)를 전후(前後)한 시기(時期)에 포자형성량(胞子形成量)이 많아 직접(直接) 목도열병(病) 전염원(傳染源)으로서 크게 작용(作用)하고 있었다. 10. 엽초내 환경조건(環境條件)은 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)에 극(極)히 호적(好適)하여 엽초내에서 도열병균(病菌)의 침해(侵害)를 받는 경우 품종(品種)의 내병성(耐病性), 시복수준(施服水準)의 차이(差異)에 관계(關係)없이 이삭목이나 지경(枝梗), 인, 마디, 마디사이 등(等) 도체(稻體)의 어느 부위(部位)라도 감염(感染)이 이루어졌다. 11. 엽초내에 침투(浸透)한 우고균(優古菌) 중에서 벼 갈색엽고병균(病菌)인 Gerlachia oryzae 만이 발병(發病)을 다소(多少) 조장(助長)할 뿐 기타(其他)의 균(菌)들은 영향(影響)이 적었으며 품종(品種)의 출수소요일수(出穗所要日數)의 장단(長短)이 목도열병(病) 감염(感染)과 관련(關連)이 있는 것으로 추정(推定)되었다.

무령왕릉의 보존대책을 수립하기 위하여 누수 현상, 고분구조 벽체거동 상황 및 구조안전점검, 고분 내에 서식하는 조류의 제거, 고분내 습기 및 결로현상 제거를 위한 공기조화시설 등을 포함하는 종합 정밀저사를 1996년 5월 1일 부터 1997년 4월 30일 까지 1년간 수행하였다. 이러한 연구를 수행하기 위하여 기초 지반에 대한 정밀측량, 고분 내외부의 년중 온습도 모니터링, 지반의 내부물성 파악을 위한 지구물리 탐사, 시추 자료에 대한 각종 물성실험, 지반의 투수계수 측정 및 지구화학적 분석을 실시하였다. 고분 내외부에 대한 정밀측량 결과 봉분 중심의 현실 중심보다 북동쪽으로 5m 이격되어 있다. 무령왕릉의 경우는 발굴 당시에도 유사한 분포를 하였으나, 이로 인하여 불균형적인 토압을 발생시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 벽돌깨짐 상황 조사결과 무령왕릉의 조사 대상 벽돌 6025장중 1972년에는 435장 파손되었던 것이 1996년 조사결과 1072장이 파손된 것으로 밝혀져 파손율이 2.5배로 증가하였다. 6호분의 경우는 이보다 더 심하여 벽돌 파손율이 2.9배로 증가하고 있다. 1972년 상황은 약 1450년간 진행된 것이고 1996년의 상황은 불과 24년간 진행된 것임을 감안할 고분이 발굴된 이후 벽돌의 균열은 상당한 가속도로 진행되어 온것이 사실이며 이대로 진행된다면 더욱 더 가속화될 것으로 판단된다. 고분벽체의 거동상태를 계측한 결과 무령왕릉 동측벽의 경우 우기와 건기에 각각 2.95 mm/myr및 1.52 mm/myr의 거동을 보여 우기에 지하수 유입에 의한 지반의 약화로 인하여 건기보다 2배정도 거동하는 양상을 보인다. 한편, 연도 입구의 호벽은 건기에 전실쪽으로 0.43 mm/myr, 연도쪽으로 2.05 mm/myr의 거동을 보여 무령왕릉에서는 가장 심한 거동을 보이고 있다. 6호분의 거동현황은 건기에만 측정된 바, 현실의 동측벽과 서측벽이 각각 벽체 뒤쪽으로 7.44 mm/myr, 현실안쪽으로 3.61 mm/myr의 거동을 보여 조사대상 5호분, 6호분, 7호분, 중 가장 심한 거동을 보이고 있다. 이는 고분 벽돌의 깨짐이 6호분이 가장 심하다는 사실과 무관하지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 봉분내부의 토양층구조에 대한 지오레이다 영상단면을 분석한 결과 무령왕릉 연도상부의 누수지방지층이 심하게 균열되어 있음을 발견하였다. 이 곳은 고분내부로 직접누수가 발생하는 곳이다. 직접누수와 지하수 형태로 유입된 침투수는 고분군 주위의 지반의 함수비를 증가시켜 지반의 지지력을 약화시키고 또한 고분내로 서서히 유입되어 고분내부의 습도를 100%로 유지시키는 주된 원인이다. 이러한 높은 습도는 고분내의 남조류의 번식을 가져왔으며 남조류의 번식은 현재 6호분이 가장 심각하고 7호분이 우려되는 수준이며 5호분은 문제가 없는 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같이 고분군의 발굴후 인위적인 환경변화와 지속적인 강우침투 및 배수 불량의 영향은 고분군의 안정성에 상당한 위험을 초래하였으며, 현 상태는 각 고분에 대한 보강이 불가피한 것으로 판단된다. 고분 벽돌의 깨짐, 고분 벽체의 거동, 조류의 서식등을 포함하여 송산리 고분군에서 발생되고 있는 보존상의 제반 문제점들을 일차적으로 누수 및 침투수에 의한 결과이다. 그러므로 무엇보다도 고분군 내부 및 고분 주변으로의 강우 및 지하수 침투를 막는 차수 대책이 시급한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이미 발생한 변위가 더 이상 진행되지 않도록 하중을 경감하고 토압의 균형을 이루는 보강대책이 시급한 실정이다. 고분군의 보존대책으로는 고분의 구조안전에 관하여 근본적인 구조변경이 불가피한 직접 보강대책보다 간접적인 보강대책이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다. 간접적 보강대책으로서는 현 봉분규모의 축소, 불균등토압의 조정, 강우침투 방지를 위한 최종복토시스템, 유도배수구의 설치 및 능선 상부로부터의 지하수 차단시설을 포함한다. 이러한 차수대책은 고분군의 제문제를 해결하는 가장 근본적인 대책이라 할 수 있다. 고분내 결로현상 및 습기 제거를 위하여 항온항습장치를 전실에 설치하고 덕트를 통하여 고분내 현실로 순환시키는 방법을 제안하며 외부 온도의 영향을 덜 받게 하기 위하여 전실상부 토양을 현재보다 두껍게 하고 전실의 천정마감재를 열전도도가 낮은 목재로 교체하며 출입문의 이동등을 제안하였다. 금번 조사 연구를 통하여 얻어진 각종 보수 및 보존대책은 고분구조 자체에 가능한 한 최소의 변화를 주면서 가장 시급한 문제점부터 해결하도록 제시되었다. 설계 및 시공단계에서는 보수의 경중을 가려 순서에 입각하여 이루어져야만 하며 설계 및 시공단계에서 고분의 구조안전에 영향을 주지 않도록 각별한 주의가 요망된다. 끝으로, 상기의 보수대책이 실시된 후 이에 대한 평가 및 향후의 영구 보존을 위한 벽체경사 계측, 함수비 및 지하수위 계측, 온습도 측정 등을 포함하는 사후계측시스템은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 각종 계측자료를 이용한 장기적이고도 세심한 분석을 통하여 완벽한 보존 관리가 이루어져야할 것으로 사료된다.로 사료된다.

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.

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.
