1. 장류에 관여(關與)되는 된장, 메주, 청국장, 볏짚등에서 14균주를 분리하고 그 중(中)에서 protease와 amylase 생산력(生産力)이 크고 amino-N를 적게 유리(遊離)하며 많은 ammonia-N을 생산(生産)하는 Bacillus 속의 3균주($K_{S}-1\;K_{S}-7\;K_{M}-9$)를 선발(選拔)하고 그 중(中)에서 우수한 $K_{M}-9$를 Bacillus liceniformis로 동정(同定)하여 이 균(菌)으로 콩과 밀의 배합비(配合比)를 달리하여 메주를 만들고, 간장을 담그어서 간장숙성과정중(熟成過程中)의 성분변화(成分變化)를 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果) 세균(細菌)만으로도 간장 제조(製造)가 가능(可能)했다. 2. 원료처리(原料處理) 및 숙성기간, 콩과 밀의 배합등(配合等)에 따른 간장 덧중의 성분변화(成分變化)는 다음과 같다. 1) 세균(細菌)메주 중에 전분질이 많고 단백질이 적을수록, 메주를 건조해서 담글 때, 또 담근간장이 숙성될수록 간장원료 밀을 증가하는 것보다 볶는 것이 간장 덧중의 ammonia-N 가 감소(減少)되었다. 즉(卽) 원료배합비에 따른 30일 숙성간장 덧중의 ammonio-N 는 콩과 밀이 3 : 0, 2 : 1, 1: 1, 1 : 2, 0 : 3, 일 때 0.51, 0.46, 0.36, 0.204, 0.03%로 점점 감소를 보였고, 보통 간장 덧의 $0.22%^{(26)}$보다 원료 1 : 1 이상에서는 다소 많았다. 5, 15, 30, 50일의 숙성기간 별(別)로는 콩과 밀이 1 : 1 일때 0.38, 0,364, 0.360, 0.105%로 점점 감소된 것을 볼 수 있었다. 또한 원료 처리에 따른 50일 숙성간장에서 건조한 메주로 담근 간장 덧에는 ammonia-N 가 0.034%인데 건조하지 않은 것에서는 0.105%이다. 또한 볶은 밀로 담근 간장 덧중에서 ammonia-N 가 0.16%이가 증자한 밀로 담은 것은 0.29%이다(5일 숙성된 간장덧). 2) 간장 덧중의 유리(遊離)총질소는 숙성 4주까지는 증가(增加)하고 그 후(後)에는 감소되었다. 그리고 amino-N는 계속 증가하였다. 3) 간장 덧중의 total acid는 숙성 30일 까지는 증가되고 그 후에는 감소되는바 숙성기간 5, 15, 30, 50일별(別) total acid는 2.56, 2.95, 4.14, 1.97로 증감되었다. 개량간장 덧 $1.15%^{(26)}$, $1.80{\sim}1.98%^{(27)}$에 비(比)하여 많았고 콩과 밀의 배합비(配合比)로 보면 3 : 0 에서 3.25, 2 : 1에서 2.07, 1 : 1에서 1.97덧로 전분질이 많고 단백질이 적어짐에 따라 감소되었다.(50일 숙성 간장덧). 메주의 건조는 간장덧중에 처음부터 많은 산량(酸量)을 나타내고 서서히 증가 또는 유지되다가 30일경에 이르면 감소되었고 건조한 메주와 건조하지 않은 메주는 숙성 30일 후에 일치점을 나타내었다. 4) pH의 변화는 배합량(配合量)이 많아짐에 따라 점점 낮아지고, 콩의 배합량이 많아짐에 따라 높아졌다. (콩: 밀이 3 : 0, 2 : 1, 1 : 1, 1 : 2, 0.3에서의 pH는 각각 6.3, 5.2, 5.1, 4.85, 4.75)이었다. 숙성기간에 따라선 큰 차이(差異)를 보이지 않았고 건조한 메주로 담근 간장덧의 pH는 건조하지 않은 메주로 사용한 것보다 다소 높았으며, 개량 및 재래간장의 pH와 거의 일치하였다.

석유 및 정유관련 산업에서 다중상(multi-phase flow) 유체의 배관 내 흐름은 일반적인 현상의 하나이다. 그러나 각각의 상에 대한 정확한 유량측정은 항상 정확한 결과획득을 얻는데 장애의 근원으로 작용하였다. 일반 상업용 유량계는 일정 이상의 기포가 포함된 유체 흐름의 경우 유량계측에 상당한 오차를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 ${\gamma}$-ray attenuation 기법을 이용하여 clamp-on 타입으로 배관 외부에서 다중상 유체흐름의 유량 측정을 수행하였다. 사용된 밀봉 감마선원으로는 $^{137}Cs$ 20 mCi와 17 mCi 두 개의 동위원소를 사용하였으며, 감마선 검출기로는 $2"{\times}2"$ NaI(Tl) 섬광계수관을 이용하였다. 방사선 검출기로부터 데이터를 수집하고 각각의 데이터에 대해 푸리에 변환과 필터링을 통해 노이즈를 최소화하였다. 복원된 신호에 대해 상호상관함수(cross correlation function)를 적용하여 두 검출기 사이의 통과시간(transit time)을 측정함으로써 유량을 산정하였다. 배관 내 기포함량 측정을 통해 유량을 보정해줌으로써 측정유량의 정확도를 높였다. 두 선원간의 거리가 4D(D; inner diameter) 그리고 본 실험의 측정조건(N/S: $0.12{\sim}0.15$, sampling time ${\Delta}\;t$: 4msec) 하에서 기포량(단면적 대비 $6.1\;%{\sim}9.2\;%$) 보정을 통해 산정된 유량은 계측오차가 실제 평균유량 대비 1.7 % 이하인 정확도를 보였다. 또한 두 밀봉 감마선원 간의 거리가 가까울수록 통과시간 측정에 정확도가 향상되므로 보다 정확한 유량측정이 가능하였다. 본 연구를 통해 다중상 혼합유체의 유량을 밀봉감마선원과 상호상관 기법으로 이용하여 계측할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 방사성동위원소의 선택 및 계측시스템의 최적화 조건 등에 대한 추가연구가 수행된다면 석유화학 산업과 같은 장치산업의 유지관리 측면에 경제적으로 크게 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문에서는 팬-틸트-줌 기능을 가지는 실시간 능동카메라 시스템에 적합한 2단계 머리 추적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 먼저, 색 수렴 단계에서는 머리의 모양을 타원으로 가정하고 모델 색-히스토그램을 얻는다. 그 후, 모델과 후보 타원의 색-히스토그램간의 유사도를 검사하여 목표 물체의 대략적인 위치를 구하기 위해 mean-shift 방법을 이용한다. 여기에서 영상 내 물체 영역의 색 분포가 카메라의 관찰 방향에 따라 달라지는 것을 고려하기 위하여, 모델 히스토그램 뿐 아니라 이전 프레임에서 얻어진 타원의 색 히스토그램도 함께 고려함으로써 mean-shift의 수렴성을 향상시킨다. 특히, 이전 프레임에서 결정된 타원 내부의 가장자리 영역에 포함되어 있는 배경 색 성분에 의한 오류 누적 문제를 해소하기 위해, 모델 히스토그램을 이용하여 타원의 크기를 적응적으로 축소함으로써 이전 추적 결과중 머리 영역에 해당되는 색 히스토그램을 얻는다. 또한 영상 내의 전역 움직임을 예측하고 이를 보상하여 정확한 초기 위치를 찾음으로써 mean-shift의 색 수렴성을 더욱 향상시킨다. 이 때, 고속 움직임 추정을 위해 1-D 투사 데이터 기반의 방법을 제안한다. 다음 단계에서는, 모양 정보를 이용하여 수렴단계에서 얻어진 타원의 위치와 크기를 보다 정확히 재조정한다. 이를 위해 영상 내 경사도의 방향에 기반한 강건한 모양 유사도 함수를 정의하고 사용한다. 다양한 환경을 고려한 실험을 통하여, 사람의 움직임이 빠른 경우, 영상 내 머리 크기의 변화가 심한 경우, 그리고 배경의 색과 모양이 매우 복잡한 경우에 대해서도 제안한 알고리즘이 비교적 정확히 추적을 수행함을 보였다. 아울러 제안한 알고리즘은 추적을 수행하는데 일반 PC에서 약 30fps의 처리 속도를 보여 실시간 시스템에 적합하다.

본 연구에서는 폐기되는 조류 바이오매스를 재활용하여 퇴비화 과정을 통해 새로운 형태의 조류토양개량제(algae soil conditioner, ASC)로 제조하고 영양성분에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. ASCs는 응집부상공법을 통해 수집된 조류 바이오매스를 주원료로 하였으며 추가적으로 다양한 보조 원료(톱밥, 펄라이트, 깻묵 등)를 첨가하여 제조하였다. ASCs는 투입된 조류 바이오매스 질량 비율에 따라 각각 blank 0%, ASC1 11.7%, ASC2 21.6%, ASC3 37.6%, ASC4 59.5%로 구분하여 총 127일간 부숙하였다. ASCs는 호기성 미생물 반응에 의해 온도 증감이 뚜렷하게 나타났으며 6~7회의 크고 작은 온도 피크가 관찰되었다. 이화학 분석결과 유기물이 무기화(mineralization) 되면서 macronutrients (TN, P₂O₅, K₂O) 뿐만 아니라 secondary macronutrients (CaO, MgO)에서도 두드러진 증가를 보였다. 미생물 군집변화는 ASCs의 부숙과정에 따라 1단계(세균, 사상균)→2단계(방선균, 세균)→3단계(고초균)로 나타났으며 온도변화와 영양성분의 거동과 밀접한 관련이 있다고 판단되었다. 부숙 완성도에 따라 토양개량제의 품질이 결정될 수 있으며 본 연구결과에서는 조류 바이오매스를 59.5% 이내로 조절한다면 효과적인 미생물 활성을 유도할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다. 결론적으로 조류 바이오매스를 재활용한 토양개량제의 제조 및 활용 가능성을 확인하였으며 추가적인 기술적 발전이 이루어진다면 향후 효과적인 토양개량제로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

금강 상류 지역 주민들에 Metagonimus속 흡충이 만연되어 있음은 1980년이래 보고되어 있으나 아직도 그 흡충의 종(種)이 확정되지 못한 상태이다. 본 연구는 다슬기에서 유출된 cercaria, 어류에 기생된 피낭유충 및 실험적 종숙주에서 검출된 성충의 형태와 생태 등을 검토하였고 그 결과를 다음과 같이 요약한다. 1. 금강 상류 수통리, 무주삼거리 및 소천리 앞의 금강천에서 1,730개의 다슬기(Semisulcospira globus)를 채집하여 cercaria의 자연유출율과 종을 동정한 바 7.2%의 cercaria양성율과 5종을 동정하였고, 그 중에서 Metagonimus속 cercaria가 3.7%로 가장 많았다. 2. Metagonimus속 cercaria를 방출하는 다슬기의 수조에 금붕어와 같이 10일간 사육하고 그 후60일까지 금부어에서 피낭유충형성 실태를 관찰하였던 바 금붕어 105마리중 22.9%의 감염율을 보였고 비늘(13/3%)과 지느러미(86.7%)에 피낭유충이 형성되었으며 그 수는 적었다. 3. 대청호와 금강상류에서 채집한 어류에서 Metagonimus속 피낭유충의 기생 실태를 조사한 바 끄리는 전수가 감염되었고 어체당 피낭유충의 감염수(250~2,400개)도 가장 많았다. 갈겨니, 피라미, 모래무지 등도 상류산은 100% 감염되어 있었으나 대청호산은 기생율이 낮았고 각 어체별 피낭유충의 기생수도 적었다. 잉어와 붕어는 피낭유충의 기생율과 기생수도 매우 적었다. 어종별로 분리한 피낭유층은 형태학적 차이는 없었으며, 어체내의 기생부위는 섬진강산 은어를 제외하고 비늘에서만 검출도었다. 4. 끄리와 피라미 유래의 피낭유충은 흰쥐에 개에, 갈겨니, 모래무지, 금붕어 유래이 피낭유충은 흰주에만 각각 감염시켜 그 성충의 회수율과 종숙주 소장 부위별로 기생율을 관찰하였다. 개에서는 충체의 회수율(63.3~65.8%)이 대단히 높았으나 쥐는 어종별 피낭 유충원(源)에 따라 큰 차이(3.5~31.6%)를 보였다. 성충은 흰주의 소장 중.하부에 분포되어 있었고 소장상부에 기생된 충체를 발견할 수 없었다. 실험적으로 감염시킨 금붕어의 피낭유충도 동일한 결과이었으나 섬진강산 은어 유래의 피낭유충 감염 흰쥐는 그 소장 상부에도 성충이 분포(9.2%)로 되어 있었다. 개에서는 소장상부에 소수(5.4~10.2%) 분포되어 있었으나 소장 중부(57.7~81.9%)와 하부(7.9~36.9%)에 많았다. 5. 성충의 형태는 그 크기가 개와 흰주 숙주에 따른 차이가 있었으나 동일 숙주에서는 어종별 피낭유충에 따라 차이가 없었다. 모든 성충의 구흡반은 복흡반보다 작았다. 채 후부에 위치한 두 정소(精巢)는 전후로 약간 떨어져 비스듬히 기울어져 있었고 자궁은 두 정소 사이를 지나 전방에 위치한 정소를 한 바퀴 돌아서 상행하였고 난황선은 충체의 후부 정소 중간까지 분포되어 있었다. 6. 충란의 크기는 평균 $29.1{\times}17.3{\mu}m$였다. 이상의 결과를 종합컨대 금강 유역에 분포되어 있는 Metagonimus 흡충은 제등(1984a)가 주장하는 Metagonimus yokogawai, Miyata형으로 동정하였다.

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.
