  • 데이터베이스 튜닝은 일반적으로 데이터베이스 어플리케이션을 "좀 더 빠르게" 실행하게 하는 일련의 활동을 뜻한다[1]. 데이터베이스 관리자가 튜닝에 필요한 주먹구구식 룰(Rule of thumb)들을 모두 파악 하고 상황에 맞추어 적용하는 것은 비싼 비용과 오랜 시간을 요구한다. 그렇게 때문에 서로 다른 어플 리케이션들이 맞물려 있는 복잡한 서비스는 필수적으로 자동화된 데이터베이스 성능 관리와 튜닝을 필 요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 지식 도매인(Knowledge Domain)을 기초로 한 자동화 된 데이터베이스 튜닝 원칙(Tuning Principle)을 제시하는 시스템을 제안한다. 각각의 데이터베이스 튜닝 이론들은 지식 도매인의 지식으로 활용되며, 성능에 영향을 미치는 요소들을 개체(Object)와 콘셉트 (Concept)로 구성하고 추론 시스템을 통해 튜닝 원칙을 추론하여 쉽고 빠르게 현재 상황에 맞는 튜닝 방법론을 적용시킬 수 있다. 자동화된 데이터베이스 튜닝에 대해 여러 분야에 걸쳐 학문적인 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그 예로써 Microsoft의 AutoAdmin Project[2], Oracle의 SQL 튜닝 아키텍처[3], COLT[4], DBA Companion[5], SQUASH[6] 등을 들 수 있다. 이러한 최적화 기법들을 각각의 기능적인 방법론에 따라 다시 분류하면 크게 Design Tuning, Logical Structure Tuning, Sentence Tuning, SQL Tuning, Server Tuning, System/Network Tuning으로 나누어 볼 수 있다. 이 중 SQL Tuning 등은 수치적으로 결정되어 이미 존재하는 정보를 이용하기 때문에 구조화된 모델로 표현하기 쉽고 사용자의 다양한 요구에 의해 변화하는 조건들을 수용하기 쉽기 때문에 이에 중점을 두고 성능 문제를 해결하는 데 초점을 맞추었다. 데이터베이스 시스템의 일련의 처리 과정에 따라 DBMS를 구성하는 개체들과 속성, 그리고 연관 관계들이 모델링된다. 데이터베이스 시스템은 Application / Query / DBMS Level의 3개 레벨에 따라 구조화되며, 본 논문에서는 개체, 속성, 연관 관계 및 데이터베이스 튜닝에 사용되는 Rule of thumb들을 분석하여 튜닝 원칙을 포함한 지식의 형태로 변환하였다. 튜닝 원칙은 데이터베이스 시스템에서 발생하는 문제를 해결할 수 있게 하는 일종의 황금률로써 지식 도매인의 바탕이 되는 사실(Fact)과 룰(Rule) 로써 표현된다. Fact는 모델링된 시스템을 지식 도매인의 하나의 지식 개체로 표현하는 방식이고, Rule 은 Fact에 기반을 두어 튜닝 원칙을 지식의 형태로 표현한 것이다. Rule은 다시 시스템 모델링을 통해 사전에 정의되는 Rule와 튜닝 원칙을 추론하기 위해 사용되는 Rule의 두 가지 타업으로 나뉘며, 대부분의 Rule은 입력되는 값에 따라 다른 솔루션을 취하게 하는 분기의 역할을 수행한다. 사용자는 제한적으로 자동 생성된 Fact와 Rule을 통해 튜닝 원칙을 추론하여 데이터베이스 시스템에 적용할 수 있으며, 요구나 필요에 따라 GUI를 통해 상황에 맞는 Fact와 Rule을 수동으로 추가할 수도 었다. 지식 도매인에서 튜닝 원칙을 추론하기 위해 JAVA 기반의 추론 엔진인 JESS가 사용된다. JESS는 스크립트 언어를 사용하는 전문가 시스템[7]으로 선언적 룰(Declarative Rule)을 이용하여 지식을 표현 하고 추론을 수행하는 추론 엔진의 한 종류이다. JESS의 지식 표현 방식은 튜닝 원칙을 쉽게 표현하고 수용할 수 있는 구조를 가지고 있으며 작은 크기와 빠른 추론 성능을 가지기 때문에 실시간으로 처리 되는 어플리케이션 튜닝에 적합하다. 지식 기반 모률의 가장 큰 역할은 주어진 데이터베이스 시스템의 모델을 통하여 필요한 새로운 지식을 생성하고 저장하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 Fact와 Rule은 지식 표현 의 기본 단위인 트리플(Triple)의 형태로 표현된다, 트리플은 Subject, Property, Object의 3가지 요소로 구성되며, 대부분의 Fact와 Rule들은 트리플의 기본 형태 또는 트리플의 조합으로 이루어진 C Condition과 Action의 두 부분의 결합으로 구성된다. 이와 같이 데이터베이스 시스템 모델의 개체들과 속성, 그리고 연관 관계들을 표현함으로써 지식들이 추론 엔진의 Fact와 Rule로 기능할 수 있다. 본 시스템에서는 이를 구현 및 실험하기 위하여 웹 기반 서버-클라이언트 시스템을 가정하였다. 서버는 Process Controller, Parser, Rule Database, JESS Reasoning Engine으로 구성 되 어 있으며, 클라이 언트는 Rule Manager Interface와 Result Viewer로 구성되어 었다. 실험을 통해 얻어지는 튜닝 원칙 적용 전후의 실행 시간 측정 등 데이터베이스 시스템 성능 척도를 비교함으로써 시스템의 효용을 판단하였으며, 실험 결과 적용 전에 비하여 튜닝 원칙을 적용한 경우 최대 1초 미만의 전처리에 따른 부하 시간 추가와 최소 약 1.5배에서 최대 약 3배까지의 처리 시간 개선을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 튜닝 원칙을 자동으로 생성하고 지식 형태로 변형시킴으로써 새로운 튜닝 원칙을 파생하여 제공하고, 성능에 영향을 미치는 요소와 함께 직접 Fact과 Rule을 추가함으로써 커스터마이정된 튜닝을 수행할 수 있게 하는 장점을 가진다. 추후 쿼리 자체의 튜닝 및 인텍스 최적화 등의 프로세스 자동화와 Rule을 효율적으로 정의하고 추가하는 방법 그리고 시스템 모델링을 효과적으로 구성하는 방법에 대한 연구를 통해 본 연구를 더욱 개선시킬 수 있을 것이다.

  • 분산 컴퓨팅 환경에서 프로세스 사이의 상호 협력을 위한 통신으로 인격 프로시져 호출이 전통적으로 사용되고 있다. 분산 응용이 더욱 복잡해짐에 따라 최근 이동 에이전트 패러다임이 등장하였다. 이처럼 다양한 상호 협력을 위한 통신 패러다임이 등장함에 따라 각 패러다임의 성능에 대한 평가와 비교 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 기존의 연구에서 성능 평가를 위해 사용한 성능 모델들은 보안 서비스를 위한 평가 요소를 고려하고 있지 않기 때문에 실제 분산 환경을 제대로 반영하지 못한다. 분산 환경은 개방되어 있으므로 정보의 노출이나 도청과 같은 공격에 있어서 상당히 취약하다. 이러한 분산 환경에서 안전하게 작업을 수행하기 위해서는 여러 가지 공격으로부터 응용 프로그램이나 정보를 보호하기 위한 보안 서비스가 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 상호 협력을 위한 통신 패러다임 중 인격 프로시져 호출과 이동 에이전트의 성능을 평가하고 비교한다. 분산 응용 프로그램을 안전하게 수행하기 위해 고려해야 하는 보안 서비스에 관하여 알아보고, 이러한 보안 서비스를 적용한 새로운 성능 모델을 제시한다. N개의 데이타베이스 서버에서 사용자가 필요한 정보를 검색하는 작업을 Petri Net으로 모델링하고, 각 파라미터에 수치 값을 할당해서 수행속도를 측정하여 두 패러다임의 성능을 비교한다. 본 논문에서 안전한 통신을 위하여 보안 서비스를 적용한 두 성능 모델의 비교 결과는 다음과 같다. 원격 프로시져 호출은 연산 비용이 높은 암호화 메커니즘을 포함하는 통신 횟수와 통신량이 많기 때문에 실행 시간이 급격하게 증가하지만, 이동 에이전트 패러다임은 통신 횟수와 통신량을 줄인 수 있으므로 실행시간이 완만하게 증가하는 것을 살펴볼 수 있다.멀티미디어 제작환경을 구축하는 것이 디지털 방송 시대의 방송 사업자에게 가장 중요한 과제중의 하나가 되었다. 멀티미디어 제작환경을 구축함으로써 영상, 음성 및 다양한 부가 데이터를 포함하는 멀티미디어 프로그램을 편리하게 제작할 수 있으며, 데이터베이스로부터 필요한 영상 이미지를 자유롭게 합성, 조작하는 등, 매우 다양하고 편리한 제작기법을 활용할 수 있다. 또한 멀티미디어를 응용한 제작 분야로서 컴퓨터 그래픽스 기술은 방송의 사전제작에 커다란 기여를 하고 있으며, 이미 선거방송을 비롯한 여러가지 프로그램은 가상스튜디오와 가상캐릭터 기술을 활용하여 제작하고 있다. 방송사업자는 이러한 멀티미디어 제작시스템을 근간으로 영상검색, 영상 합성, 스크립트 편집, 가상현실 응용 등 고도의 제작 기법을 활용함으로써 사용자 친화성, 다이나믹한 표현, 실시간, 대화성을 특징으로 하는 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 시청자에게 제공할 수 있을 것이다.is. Using the results, we can identify dominant overestimation sources that should be analyzed more accurately to get tighter WCET estimations. To make our method independent of any existing analysis techniques, we use simulation based methodology. We have implemented a MIPS R3000 simulator equipped with several switches, each of which determines the accuracy level of the timing analysis

  • 최근 모바일 기기의 혁신적 진화와 태블릿 PC나 스마트폰의 급격한 확산이 이루어지면서 개인의 일상뿐 아니라 기업의 업무용 애플리케이션에도 새로운 변화가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 수개월 이상의 개발 기간이 필요한 중대형 업무용 모바일 애플리케이션의 경우 그 복잡도나 중요도가 급격하게 늘고 있다. 현재 애자일 기반의 모바일 애플리케이션 개발 프로세스가 이러한 중대형 모바일 애플리케이션 개발에 사용되지만, 개발자의 숙련도에 대한 높은 의존도와 상세 작성지침들의 부족한 현상등의 문제점들이 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 S-MADP (Smart Mobile Application Development Process)를 제안한다. S-MADP은 객체지향 설계프로세스를 확장한 서비스 기반의 중대형 모바일 애플리케이션을 위한 개발 프로세스이다. 다양하고 제한된 모바일 기기들의 리소스를 보다 효과적으로 사용하는 애플리케이션의 개발을 위해 사용자 요구사항을 서버기반 또는 클라이언트기반의 서비스로 정의하고 효과적인 서비스의 재사용을 위한 상세지침들을 제공한다. 또한 다양한 사용자 인터페이스를 지원하는 화면 개발을 위한 효과적인 UI설계 상세지침을 지원한다. S-MADP의 성능을 검증하기 위해 3개사의 대형 업무용 모바일 애플리케이션 개발 프로젝트를 진행하였고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 수행된 프로젝트들은 TB사의 'TBS(TB Mobile Service) 3.0', TS사의 '모바일 앱스토어'와 TG그룹의 '모바일 그룹웨어' 프로젝트들이다. 프로젝트를 수행한 결과, 기존의 애자일 기반의 모바일 애플리케이션 개발 프로세스를 사용할 때에 비해서 S-MADP은 모바일 애플리케이션 개발 환경에서 중점적으로 고려되어야 하는 '리소스 사용의 최소화', '서비스 기반의 설계', '모바일 기기에 적합한 사용자 인터페이스'에 대한 상세설계 내용을 보다 자세히 제공하는 것으로 확인되어, 개발된 모바일 애플리케이션의 사용성, 유지보수성, 효율성을 향상 시킨다고 분석되었다. 또한 S-MADP를 현장 적용한 결과 애자일 기반의 개발 프로세스에서 예상된 성능보다 25%향상된 성능으로 중대형 모바일 애플리케이션을 개발 할 수 있음을 확인 하였다.

  • 웹의 이용이 급속하게 증가함에 따라, 웹 기반의 어플리케이션 대 어플리케이션간의 상호작용을 체계적으로 지원하는 적절한 모형과 새로운 분산 플랫폼을 기존 환경들과 효율적으로 통합할 수 있는 방안에 대한 요구가 발생하였으며 이에 대한 해결책으로 웹 서비스가 등장하였다. 현재 많은 소프트웨어와 하드웨어 업체들이 웹 서비스를 시장에 도입하려 하는 적극적인 시도를 보이고 있으며 어플리케이션들을 다양한 웹 서비스 제공자들로부터의 컴포넌트를 조합하여 구축하려 하고 있다. 하지만 웹 서비스를 완벽히 이행하기 위해서는 반드시 상호 운용되어야 하며 다른 업체들로부터의 서비스뿐만 아니라 플랫폼, 어플리케이션과 프로그래밍 언어에 종속되지 않도록 하는 일련의 표준화 작업이 필요하다. 이에 웹 서비스 상호 운용성 표준화 기구인 WS-I(Web Services Interoperability Organization)에서는 XML, UDDI, WSDL 그리고 SOAP을 기본으로 웹 서비스 상호운용을 위한 표준인 기본 프로파일(Basic Profile 1.0)을 제정하였으며 실제 적용하기 위한 웹 서비스 사용자 시나리오의 프로파일을 개발하고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이질적인 두 어플리케이션간의 웹 서비스 상호 운용의 적합성을 검증하기 위하여 도서 정보 검색 웹 서비스를 J2SE 플랫폼의 웹 서비스 글라이언트와 .NET 플랫폼의 웹 서비스 서버를 기반으로 각각 설계 및 구현하고 서로 서비스가 이루어지도록 하여 이질적인 두 플랫폼 사이에서 상호 운용이 가능하다는 것을 보이며 두 어플리케이션 간의 전송 서비스를 WS-I 기본 프로파일을 적용하여 테스트 및 검증하였다.조건으로 혼합한 실험구를 설정하였다. 실험구는 각각 NWT+35‰, CWT+35‰, NWT+15‰, NWT+15‰, NWT+35‰+Anes., CWT+35‰+Anes., NWT+15‰+Anes. 및 CWT+15‰+Anes.의 8개 실험구를 2반복으로 설정하여 경북울진∼부산까지 약 400 km (6시간)를 차량수송하였다. 수송용기는 스티로폼상자(66×42×20 cnn)로서, 여기에 해수 3 L와 액화산소를 넣은 비닐봉지에 넙치 8마리씩 수용하여 수송하였다. 혈액의 성상 및 분석항목은 수송전ㆍ후에 채혈하여 비교하였다. 수송전 hematocrit는 22.2±3.8%에서 수송후 NWT+35‰에서 15.3+3.9%, CWT+35‰은 16.7±3.0%, NWT+15‰구에서는 19.2±1.8%로 낮아졌으며, CWT+15‰구는 20.9±3.6%로 수송전과 차이가 없었다. 한편 NWT+15‰+Anes.구는 17.8±0.9%, CWT+15‰+Anes.구는 14.5±1.5%로 낮아졌다. Cortisol은 수송전 2.4±0.1 ng/ml로부터 CWT+35‰구는 16.7±12.8 ng/ml, NWT+35‰구는 47.9+19.8 ng/ml, NWT+15‰구는 43.5±13.9 ng/ml, CWT+15‰구는 26.1±8.3 ng/ml, NWT+15‰+Anes.구는 61.7±3.3 ng/ml, CWT+15‰+Anes.구는 86.1±19.0 ng/ml로 높아졌다. Glucose는 수송전 74.2±32.6 mg/dl로부터 NWT+35‰구는 197.9±27.5 mg/dl, CWT+35‰구도 272.1±29.9 mg/dl로 유의하게 높아졌다. Na/sup +/의 수송전 농도는 16

  • 최근 웹 서비스 분야는 기업내외의 효율적인 통합 환경을 제공해 주면서 웹 서비스의 도입을 원하는 업체가 증가하고 있다. 또한 웹 서비스가 발전하면서 새로운 비즈니스 모델이 등장하고, 웹 서비스로 인해 국내 기업 환경 및 e-비즈니스 환경이 변화하고 있다. 유사한 기능을 제공하는 웹 서비스가 증가함에 따라 사용자의 요구에 가장 적합한 서비스를 찾는 방법이 더욱 중요시 되고 있다. 많은 유사한 웹 서비스들 가운데 하나를 선택해야 할 때, 서비스 사용자는 일반적으로 웹 서비스의 품질 정보를 필요로 하게 된다. 그러나 웹 서비스의 광고 QoS 정보는 항상 신뢰성이 있지는 않다는 문제점이 있다. 서비스 제공자가 더 많은 사용자들을 끌어들이기 위해 부정확한 QoS 정보를 게시하거나, 게시된 QoS 정보가 오래 되었을 수도 있다. 따라서 현재의 사용자들이 웹 서비스로부터 받는 QoS를 평가하고 이러한 평가를 공유하는 중개자의 존재는 새로운 사용자들에게 가치 있는 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 사용자의 입장에서 사용자가 원하는 최적의 품질을 제공하는 서비스를 찾도록 도와주는 에이전트 기반 품질 브로커 아키텍처를 제안한다. 동적으로 웹 서비스를 선정하는 아키텍처를 사용자에 제공함으로서 사용자의 품질 요구 변경 문제를 해결할 수 있다. 즉 사용자는 품질 브로커 서버에 연결된 UDDI 브라우저를 통해 최적의 품질 척도를 제공하는 서비스를 검색할 수 있다. 또한 각 서비스의 품질척도 값 결정에는 사용자 개입이 최대한 배제된다. 기존 선정 아키텍처에서는 사용자의 주관적 서비스 등급 선정으로 객관적 평가가 어려웠으나, 에이전트가 사용자 위치에서 모니터링 한 바인딩 정보를 통한 품질 척도 값 결정으로 객관성을 확보할 수 있다. 즉, 제공자들이 제공하지 못하는 서비스의 QoS 정보를 사용자측 에이전트들의 피드백으로 인한 QoS 정보 공유로 해결하고자 한다.

  • 스마트교육에서 디지털교과서의 역할은 학습자와 대면하는 교육미디어로써 그 중요성은 재론의 여지없다. 이러한 디지털교과서는 학습자의 편의와 더불어 교수자, 콘텐츠 제작자, 유통업자를 위하여 표준화되어야 활성화되고 산업화될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 3가지 목표를 지향하는 디지털교과서 표준화 방안을 모색한다. (1) 디지털교과서는 온-오프 수업을 모두 지원하는 혼합학습 매체의 역할을 해야 하며, 특별한 전용뷰어 없이 표준을 준수하는 모든 EPUB 뷰어에서 실행가능 해야 하며, 기존의 이러닝 학습 콘텐츠와 학습관리시스템를 활용할 수 있도록 하며, 디지털 교과서를 사용하는 학습자의 정보를 추적 관리할 수 있는 트랙킹기능이 있으면서도, 오프라인 동안의 정보를 축적하여 서버와 통신할 수 있는 기능도 필요하다. 디지털교과서의 표준으로서 EPUB을 고려하는 이유는 디지털교과서가 책의 형태를 가져야 하는데 이를 위해서 따로 표준을 정할 필요가 없으며, EPUB 표준을 채택함으로써 풍부한 콘텐츠, 유통구조, 산업기반을 활용할 수 있기 때문이다. (2) 디지털교과서는 오픈소스를 적극 활용하여 저비용으로 현재 사용가능한 서비스를 구성하여 표준과 더불어 실제 실행 가능한 프로그램으로 제시되어야 하며, 관련 학습 콘텐츠가 오픈마켓의 형태로 운영될 수 있어야 한다. (3) 디지털교과서는 학습자에게 적절한 학습 피드백을 제공하기 위하여 모든 학습활동 정보를 축적하고 관리될 수 있는 인프라를 표준에 따라 구축하여 교육 빅데이터 처리의 기반을 제공하여야 한다. 이북 표준인 EPUB 3.0을 기반으로 하는 오픈 디지털교과서는 (1) 학습활동 정보를 기록하고 (2) 이 학습활동 지원을 위한 서버와 통신하여야 한다. 현재 표준으로 정해져 있지 않은 이북의 기록과 통신 기능을 EPUB 3.0의 JavaScript로 구현하여 현재 EPUB 3.0 뷰어에서도 활용하면서 이를 차세대 이북 표준 또는 교육을 위한 이북 표준(EPUB 3.0 for education)으로 제안하여 향후 제정된 표준 이북 뷰어에서는 JavaScript없이도 처리되도록 하는 전략이 필요하다. 향후 연구는 제안한 오픈 디지털교과서 표준에 의한 오픈소스 프로그램을 개발하고, 개발된 오픈 디지털교과서의 학습활동정보를 활용한 새로운 교육서비스 방안(교육 빅데이터 활용방안 포함)을 제시하는 것이다.

  • 컴퓨터 시스템 운용 간에 발생하는 많은 정보들이 기록되는 로그데이터는 컴퓨터 시스템 운용 점검, 프로세스의 최적화, 사용자 최적화 맞춤형 제공 등 다방면으로 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 종류의 로그데이터들 중에서 은행에서 발생하는 대용량의 로그데이터를 처리하기 위한 클라우드 환경 하에서의 MongoDB 기반 비정형 로그 처리시스템을 제안한다. 은행업무간 발생하는 대부분의 로그데이터는 고객의 업무처리 프로세스 간에 발생하며, 고객 업무 프로세스 처리에 따른 로그데이터를 수집, 저장, 분류, 분석하기 위해서는 별도로 로그데이터를 처리하는 시스템을 구축해야만 한다. 하지만 기존 컴퓨팅환경 하에서는 폭발적으로 증가하는 대용량 비정형 로그데이터 처리를 위한 유연한 스토리지 확장성 기능, 저장된 비정형 로그데이터를 분류, 분석 처리할 수 있는 기능을 구현하기가 매우 어렵다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기술을 도입하여 기존 컴퓨팅 인프라 환경의 분석 도구 및 관리체계에서 처리하기 어려웠던 비정형 로그데이터를 처리하기 위한 클라우드 환경기반의 로그데이터 처리시스템을 제안하고 구현하였다. 제안한 본 시스템은 IaaS(Infrastructure as a Service) 클라우드 환경을 도입하여 컴퓨팅 자원의 유연한 확장성을 제공하며 실제로, 로그데이터가 장기간 축적되거나 급격하게 증가하는 상황에서 스토리지, 메모리 등의 자원을 신속성 있고 유연하게 확장을 할 수 있는 기능을 포함한다. 또한, 축적된 비정형 로그데이터의 실시간 분석이 요구되어질 때 기존의 분석도구의 처리한계를 극복하기 위해 본 시스템은 하둡 (Hadoop) 기반의 분석모듈을 도입함으로써 대용량의 로그데이터를 빠르고 신뢰성 있게 병렬 분산 처리할 수 있는 기능을 제공한다. 게다가, HDFS(Hadoop Distributed File System)을 도입함으로써 축적된 로그데이터를 블록단위로 복제본을 생성하여 저장관리하기 때문에 본 시스템은 시스템 장애와 같은 상황에서 시스템이 멈추지 않고 작동할 수 있는 자동복구 기능을 제공한다. 마지막으로, 본 시스템은 NoSQL 기반의 MongoDB를 이용하여 분산 데이터베이스를 구축함으로써 효율적으로 비정형로그데이터를 처리하는 기능을 제공한다. MySQL과 같은 관계형 데이터베이스는 복잡한 스키마 구조를 가지고 있기 때문에 비정형 로그데이터를 처리하기에 적합하지 않은 구조를 가지고 있다. 또한, 관계형 데이터베이스의 엄격한 스키마 구조는 장기간 데이터가 축적되거나, 데이터가 급격하게 증가할 때 저장된 데이터를 분할하여 여러 노드에 분산시키는 노드 확장이 어렵다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. NoSQL은 관계형 데이터베이스에서 제공하는 복잡한 연산을 지원하지는 않지만 데이터가 빠르게 증가할 때 노드 분산을 통한 데이터베이스 확장이 매우 용이하며 비정형 데이터를 처리하는데 매우 적합한 구조를 가지고 있는 비관계형 데이터베이스이다. NoSQL의 데이터 모델은 주로 키-값(Key-Value), 컬럼지향(Column-oriented), 문서지향(Document-Oriented)형태로 구분되며, 제안한 시스템은 스키마 구조가 자유로운 문서지향(Document-Oriented) 데이터 모델의 대표 격인 MongoDB를 도입하였다. 본 시스템에 MongoDB를 도입한 이유는 유연한 스키마 구조에 따른 비정형 로그데이터 처리의 용이성뿐만 아니라, 급격한 데이터 증가에 따른 유연한 노드 확장, 스토리지 확장을 자동적으로 수행하는 오토샤딩 (AutoSharding) 기능을 제공하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 시스템은 크게 로그 수집기 모듈, 로그 그래프생성 모듈, MongoDB 모듈, Hadoop기반 분석 모듈, MySQL 모듈로 구성되어져 있다. 로그 수집기 모듈은 각 은행에서 고객의 업무 프로세스 시작부터 종료 시점까지 발생하는 로그데이터가 클라우드 서버로 전송될 때 로그데이터 종류에 따라 데이터를 수집하고 분류하여 MongoDB 모듈과 MySQL 모듈로 분배하는 기능을 수행한다. 로그 그래프생성 모듈은 수집된 로그데이터를 분석시점, 분석종류에 따라 MongoDB 모듈, Hadoop기반 분석 모듈, MySQL 모듈에 의해서 분석되어진 결과를 사용자에게 웹 인터페이스 형태로 제공하는 역할을 한다. 실시간적 로그데이터분석이 필요한 로그데이터는 MySQL 모듈로 저장이 되어 로그 그래프생성 모듈을 통하여 실시간 로그데이터 정보를 제공한다. 실시간 분석이 아닌 단위시간당 누적된 로그데이터의 경우 MongoDB 모듈에 저장이 되고, 다양한 분석사항에 따라 사용자에게 그래프화해서 제공된다. MongoDB 모듈에 누적된 로그데이터는 Hadoop기반 분석모듈을 통해서 병렬 분산 처리 작업이 수행된다. 성능 평가를 위하여 로그데이터 삽입, 쿼리 성능에 대해서 MySQL만을 적용한 로그데이터 처리시스템과 제안한 시스템을 비교 평가하였으며 그 성능의 우수성을 검증하였다. 또한, MongoDB의 청크 크기별 로그데이터 삽입 성능평가를 통해 최적화된 청크 크기를 확인하였다.

  • 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.

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.
