본 연구에서는 진주, 수원, 춘천의 정보로만 추정한 유전 모수(New1~New3)와 지역 조합으로 추정한 유전 모수(New4~New7), NICS (2010)와 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 개화시기 및 잠재수량의 예측력을 평가하여 기존의 유전 정보와 새로운 유전 정보에 대한 불확실 정도를 알고 다음 후속 연구에 활용 가능성을 알아보고자 수행했다. 결과적으로, 개별 및 지역조합 유전 모수에서 모수 추정 지점 혹은 참여한 지점의 유전 모수의 평가 지표들은 비교적 좋은 결과를 보여 주었지만 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 대구, 밀양, 전주에서 New7 유전 모수의 개화시기의 예측력은 NICS (2010)나 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 개화 시기 예측력보다 개선되지 않았다. 그러나 New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량의 예측력은 큰 차이는 아니지만 NICS (2010)나 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재 수량 예측력보다 개선되는 현상을 보였다. 예를 들면, 밀양에서 NICS (2010)와 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수가 0.00과 0.01로 전혀 예측력이 없는 것으로 평가하였지만 New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.31로 나타났다. 반면, 전주에서 NICS (2010)과 Kim et al. (2004)의 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.66과 0.41로 평가되었는데, New7 유전 모수의 잠재수량 결정계수는 0.00으로 예측력이 없는 것으로 평가되었다. 새로운 유전 모수의 예측력(New1~New7)이 기존의 유전 모수(NICS (2010)과 Kim et al. (2004))의 예측력보다 크게 개선되지는 않았지만, 평가 결과가 좋은 지역 조합 유전 모수를 지역별 개화시기 및 잠재수량을 예측하는 데에는 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

보리 생육모형인 DSSAT의 CERES-Barley를 적용하여, 한반도 A1B 기후변화시나리오에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산량을 평가하였다. 생육 모의 지역은 30년 평년의 기상자료가 구축되어 있는 56개 지역으로 하였고, 생육 모의 연도는 기준연도(1971~2000년)와 3가지 미래 30년 평년(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년)으로 하였다. 그리고 온도효과 분석(온도 변화, $CO_2$ 농도 고정), $CO_2$효과 분석(온도 고정, $CO_2$ 농도 변화), 온난화효과 분석(온도 및 $CO_2$ 농도 변화) 등 3가지 생육모의 환경으로 구분하여 기후변화에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산성 영향을 평가하였다. CERES-Barly 모형은 국내 겉보리의 발육단계뿐 아니라 수량을 실제 관측값과 아주 유사하게 모의하여($R^2=0.84$), 기후변화에 따른 겉보리의 잠재생산성 변화 예측에 활용하는데 무리가 없다고 판단되었다. 생육 모의 조건별 결과를 나타내면, (1) 온도효과 분석에서, 미래의 온도상승이 상대적으로 낮은 2011~ 2040년 생육 모의 연도의 잠재수량은 기준년도와 비슷한 반면에, 온도상승 정도가 큰 2041~2070, 2071~2100년의 미래 기후조건에서는 잠재수량이 기준년도에 비해 각각 6, 20%씩 감소하였다. 다음으로, (2) $CO_2$ 효과 분석에서, 3가지 미래 기후조건(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년)에서 겉보리의 평균 잠재수량이 기준년도에 비해 각각 12, 28, 43%씩 증가하였다. 마지막으로 (3) 온난화효과 분석에서, 미래 생육 모의 연도별(2011~2040년, 2041~2070년, 2071~2100년) 잠재수량은 기준년도에 비해 각각 13, 21, 19%씩 증가하였다.

제2차 고기후 모델링 비교 프로그램(Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Program phase II, PMIP2)의 대기-해양-해빙 접합모형을 통해 얻어진 시뮬레이션 자료를 이용하여 마지막 최대빙하기(Last Glacial Maximum)의 북극 기후변화를 연구하였다. 연구에 이용된 모형은 미국 해양대기청의 CCSM, 독일 막스플랑크 연구소의 ECHAM3-MPIOM, 영국 기상청의 HadCM3M2, 프랑스 라플라스 연구소의 IPSL-CM4, 프랑스 기상연구소의 CNRM-CM3, 일본 동경대 기후연구소의 MIROC3.2, 그리고 중국 대기물리연구소의 FGOALS을 포함해 총 7개로 구성된다. 7개 모형들에 의해 재현된 현재 기후를 관측에 기초로 한 재분석 자료와 비교해 본 결과, 모든 모형에서 관측에 나타나는 북극기후의 특징들이 비교적 잘 재현되었다. 모든 기후 모형들에 마지막 최대빙하기의 대기 이산화탄소 농도를 포함한 온실기체, 지구공전궤도함수, 그리고 빙상 및 지형의 경계 조건이 적용되었다. 빙하기 경계 조건에 대하여 대륙빙하가 발달했던 북미와 북유럽에서 $24^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도 감소가 나타나는데, 이는 빙하의 발달에 따른 표층의 알베도 증가와 고도의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 빙하의 발달에 기인하여 북극해에서도 $10^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도 감소가 나타난다. 여름철에 비해 겨울철 온도 감소가 대체로 더 크게 나타나며, 북극 주변에서 평균 약 $14^{\circ}C$ 정도의 연평균 온도 감소를 보이고 있다. 저위도에 비해 북극 지역의 온도 감소가 모든 계절, 특히 겨울철에 더 크게 나타나는데, 이는 최근 지구 온난화의 정도가 극 지역에서 저위도나 중위도에 비해 더 크게 나타나고 있는 것과도 잘 대비된다. 본 연구결과와 최근의 온난화가 서로 대비되게 일어나기 때문에, 마지막 최대빙하기의 연구를 통해 미래 지구온난화 하에서 나타날 수 있는 기후변화를 간접적으로 이해할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

인공위성이 관측한 해수면 높이 자료를 활용하여 울릉분지 일대에서 발생하는 냉수성 소용돌이들을 1993년부터 2015년까지 Winding-Angle 방법을 이용하여 탐지하고 분류하였다. 냉수성 소용돌이들 중에서 동한난류 사행의 첫 번째 골에서 형성되어 동쪽으로 흐르는 해류의 주경로로부터 남서쪽으로 떨어져 나온 독도 냉수성 소용돌이(Dokdo Cold Eddy, DCE)를 구분하였고, 그 이동 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 국립수산과학원(National Institute of Fisheries Science)이 관측한 수온과 염분 자료와 Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model의 수치모의 결과를 이용하여 DCE 중심 근처에서 수온과 유속의 수직구조를 살펴보았다. DCE는 23년 동안 총 112개 발생하였고, 이 중 39개의 DCE가 서쪽으로 이동하여 한국 동해안 근처 연안에 도달하였으며, 평균 이동 거리는 250.9 km, 평균 수명은 93일, 평균 이동 속도는 3.5 cm/s였다. 나머지 73개의 DCE는 동쪽으로 이동하거나 생성된 위치 주변을 맴돌다가 소멸하였다. DCE 아래 50~100 m에서 수온(T)과 염분(S)이 주변보다 낮아(T < $5^{\circ}C$, S < 34.1) 등온선들과 등염선들이 돔(dome, 반구형으로 된 지붕 모양) 구조를 보였다. 또한 DCE의 중심에서 평균 38 km 떨어진 곳에서 10 cm/s 이상의 해류가 표층부터 수심 300 m까지 반시계방향으로 원을 그리며 흐른다. 동한난류가 이안하여 동쪽으로 흐르다가 울릉도 북쪽에서 울릉도를 끼고 시계방향으로 흘러서 사행을 시작하고, 울릉도 동쪽에 위치한 사행의 첫 번째 골이 남서쪽으로 깊이 파고들면, 해류사행의 마루와 마루가 연결되고 골 부분이 독립적으로 떨어져 나와 반시계방향 순환을 형성하면서 DCE가 생성된다. DCE가 서쪽으로 이동할 때 울릉 난수성 소용돌이(Ulleung Warm Eddy, UWE)의 가장자리를 따라 우회하여 시계방향으로 U 모양을 그리며 한국 동해안 쪽으로 이동한다. DCE가 연안 부근에 도달하면, 동한난류는 냉수성 소용돌이 보다 더 남쪽에서 이안하고, 냉수성 소용돌이의 가장자리를 따라 우회하여 북쪽으로 흐른다. 연안에서 독도 냉수성 소용돌이가 약화되고 약 30일 후에 소멸하면, 동한난류가 다시 한국 동해안을 따라 북쪽으로 흘러서 본래의 경로를 회복한다. DCE는 열과 염을 북쪽에서 남쪽으로 꾸준히 수송하고 울릉분지 남서쪽에 냉수해역 형성에 도움을 주며, 양의 상대와도를 가지고 와서 동한난류의 경로를 변경시키는 역할을 한다. 서쪽으로 이동하는 DCE 중에서 일부는 연안 냉수성 소용돌이와 병합되어 울릉분지 서쪽에 넓고 긴 냉수해역을 만들고 반시계 방향의 순환을 형성한다. 이와 같이 병합된 소용돌이는 북쪽에 UWE를 남쪽에 동한난류로부터 분리시킨다.

2020년 1월 23일 이후 중국에서 신종 코로나바이러스 감염증(COVID-19)으로 인한 봉쇄 조치가 전국으로 확대되고 있었다. 그러나, 한국에서는 2020년 2월 1-2일에 PM₁₀ 질량농도 일평균 최대 88-98 ㎍ m^-3의 고농도 연무가 발생하였다. 이 기간에 동아시아 지역은 850 hPa 기온 아노말리가 양(+), 동서류 아노말리는 음(-)으로 온난하고 정체적인 기단의 영향을 받고 있었다. 동아시아 지역의 인위적 배출량 감소에 따른 한국의 PM₁₀ 장거리 수송의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 WRF-Chem을 활용하였다. WRF-Chem에 인위적 배출량을 변화 없이 적용한 BASE와 인위적 배출량을 50%로 감소시켜 적용한 CTL의 PM₁₀을 한국의 지상 측정값과 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. CTL에서 PM₁₀의 IOA는 0.71로 BASE의 0.67보다 높게 나타났다. 이것은 중국의 COVID-19 봉쇄 조치로 인해 인위적 배출량이 감소한 것으로 분석된다. 또한, 한국 이외의 지역 배출량을 0으로 설정한 BASE_ZEOK와 CTL_ZEOK를 모의하여 BASE와 CTL에서의 장거리 수송 기여도의 변동을 분석하였다. CTL은 BASE와 비교하여 배출량이 50%로 감소하였지만 PM₁₀ 장거리 수송 기여도는 10-20% 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 동아시아 지역의 배출량 감소에 따라 풍하측 한국의 PM₁₀ 장거리 수송 기여도 변동이 선형적으로 반응하지 않는 것은 종관 기상 변동이 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다. 2월 1-2일 한국의 고농도 PM₁₀ 연무 사례에 대한 CTL에서 PM₁₀ 에어로졸 성분의 장거리 수송 기여도는 기타 무기물이 80-90%로 가장 높았고, 질산염은 30-60%, 황산염은 0-20%, 암모늄은 30-60%를 나타내고 있었다. 중국의 봉쇄 조치로 인하여 교통 및 물류 수송이 감소하면서 2차 에어로졸이 감소한 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 새롭게 개발된 식생의 BVOCs 배출계수를 기반으로 MEGANv2.1을 구동 후 BVOCs 배출량을 산출하여 질소산화물과의 결합을 통해 대류권 오존농도에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하고 그에 대한 신뢰성을 검토하고자 한다. BVOCs 대상물질은 이소프렌(Isoprene)과 모노테르펜(Monoterpenes)으로 한정하였고, 모델링 도메인의 공간적 범위는 남한지역을 포함하는 한반도의 남부(위도 : 32.8N~39.3N, 경도 : 123.4E~130.9E)와, 시간은 2008년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지를 대상으로 하였다. 식생 BVOCs 배출 모델의 입력자료를 생성하기 위해 토지피복 자료는 MODIS (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer)의 MCD12Q1 (Land Cover type 5, PFT)와 환경부의 중분류 토지피복도를 사용하였고, 엽면적지수 자료는 MODIS의 MCD15A2를 사용하였다. 또한, 인위적 활동에 의한 배출량을 산출하기 위해 사용된 모델은 SMOKE-Asia 1.20 버전(Woo et al., 2009)이며, 오존농도를 모의하기 위해 CAMx v6.0 모델을 사용하였다. 연구의 진행은 1) 기존에 우리나라에서 측정된 식생 배출 값들을 조사하여 새로운 식생 배출계수를 BVOCs 배출모델에 적용하고, 2) GIS S/W을 이용하여 식생 배출모델(MEGAN)에 사용되는 입력자료를 생성하고, 3) MEGANv2.1을 구동하여 식생 배출량을 산출하고, 4) 인위적 배출을 산출하는 모델(SMOKE-Asia)을 구동하여 나온 인위적 배출량과 식생 배출량을 결합하여 대기화학 수송 모델(CAMx)의 입력자료로 사용하고, 5) 대기화학 수송 모델에서 구동된 오존농도의 결과 값을 실제 측정 값과 비교하여 식생 배출량 결과의 적정성에 대해 검토하였다. CAMx 모델을 통해 5개의 시나리오(인위적+식생 VOCs 배출 시나리오 4개 : A, B, C, D / 인위적 VOCs 배출 시나리오 1개 : E)에 대해 오존 생성농도를 비교한 결과, 본 연구에서 새롭게 적용한 식생 배출계수와 MODIS PFT를 사용한 시나리오 C에서 오존농도가 가장 높게 모의되었고, 인위적 VOCs 배출만을 고려한 시나리오 E보다 지역별로는 최대 53ppb, 도메인 평균으로는 2ppb 정도 높게 오존농도를 모의하고 있었다. 배출계수와 토지피복지도의 변화로 인한 오존농도의 차이 중에서는 배출계수의 변화로 인한 오존농도의 변화가 더 큰 것으로 확인되었다. 오존농도에 대해 모델링한 결과를 6개 도시지역의 오존 측정망 값과 비교한 결과, 자연적 VOCs 배출량이 상대적으로 작은 대도시와 주변 도시지역에서는 시나리오에 따른 모델과 측정 값과의 결정계수 값의 변화가 작게 나타났고, 자연적 VOCs 배출량이 높은 중소 도시지역에서는 시나리오에 따른 모델과 측정 값과의 결정계수 변화가 높게 나타났다.

2023년 4월에 양강지풍의 영향으로 영동지역에 위치한 강릉에 산불이 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 강릉 WUI (Wlidland-Urban Interface) 산불 소유역을 대상으로 식생회복에 따른 침식률을 평가하고자, GIS 기반의 RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation)와 SEMMA (Soil Erosion Model for Mountain Areas)를 이용하였다. WUI 화재 소유역은 고도의 범위가 10-30m로 낮으며, 사면의 평균경사는 10.0±7.4°로 준경사면 (general slope)에 해당한다. 토성은 유기물 함량이 높고, 토심이 깊은 양질사토(loamy sand) 이었다. 산불 이후 구곡부(gully)에서 초본층이 왕성하게 재생함에 따라, NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)가 최대 0.55에 이르렀다. 침식률 모의 결과 RUSLE은 0.07-94.9 t/ha/storm의 범위이었고, SEMMA는 0.24-83.6 t/ha/storm의 범위를 보였다. RUSLE는 SEMMA보다 평균침식률을 1.19-1.48배 과다 예측하였다. 소나무 화재목이 분포하고, 경사가 급한 중부사면에서 침식률이 크며, 초본층의 회복이 빠른 구곡아래 와지(hollow)에서 상대적으로 낮은 침식률을 보였다. SEMMA는 화재 사면의 NDVI가 0.25(Ic=0.35) 이하인 특정 식생피복에서 급격히 증가하는 침식민감도를 보였다. 유기물 함량이 높고 자연 식생의 회복이 빠른 준경사면은 급경사면에 비해 침식률이 상대적으로 작았다. WUI 산불 지역은 집중호우에 의한 토사재해로 후속적인 물·인적 피해가 예상됨에 따라, 본 연구 결과는 화재 이후 응급대처의 시행을 위한 목표 관리 및 의사 결정의 기초자료로 활용될 것이다.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2020년경 우리에게 모습을 보이게 될 5G 이동통신은 IoT, V2X 등을 비롯하여 다양한 서비스를 고객들에게 제공할 것으로 예상되며, 이러한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 요구사항은 꾸준히 수준을 높여오던 고속 데이터 속도 외에도, 신뢰도, 그리고 실시간 서비스를 위한 지연 감소 등이 가장 중요한 고려사항이 될 것으로 전망된다. 이러한 이유는 5G의 주요 응용분야로 고려되는 분야인 M2M, IoT, Factory 4.0 등의 서비스를 위해서는 기존의 속도뿐 아니라, 특히 지연 및 신뢰성이 매우 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 특히, 교통관제 등 자동차를 기반으로 하는 다양한 V2X(Vehicle to X)를 활용한 지능형 교통관제 시스템 및 서비스에서는 요구사항이 가장 높은 수준으로 고려될 수 있다. 5G 이동통신을 위하여 세계 각국의 표준화 기구들은 서비스를 규정하고 이를 요구사항에 따라 그룹화하여, 서비스의 시나리오 와 기술적 요구사항을 도출하였고, 최근에는 이러한 시나리오를 위한 요구사항의 수준이 어느 정도 합의에 다다르고 있다. 도출된 서비스 시나리오는 5개이며 이는 다음과 같다. 첫 번째 시나리오는 빠른 데이터 전송이 필요한 서비스로 가상 사무공간의 3차원 정보의 전송을 위해 높은 품질의 데이터를 요구한다. 두 번째 시나리오는 운동장, 콘서트장, 백화점과 같이 군중이 몰린 곳에서도 합리적인 이동통신 광대역 서비스 제공하는 경우이며, 세 번째는 이동 중에 일정 수준의 서비스를 제공하는 경우이고, 네 번째 경우는 지연 및 신뢰도에 대한 매우 강한 요구사항을 갖는 경우이며, M2M 통신과 같이 실시간성 보안 및 산업을 위한 응용 등의 예가 해당된다. 마지막으로 다섯 번째는 유비퀴터스 통신의 예이며, 다양한 요구사항을 가진 많은 수의 디바이스에 대한 효과적인 조정하는 경우를 예로 들 수 있다. 5G 통신은 또한 차세대 망의 구조를 고려하여 SDN(Software Defined Network)기반의 구조를 채택하고 있는데, 이러한 망의 구조는 지연과 신뢰도와 밀접한 관계를 갖고, 최악조건의 경우를 위한 SDN을 고려한 망 구조측면의 검토가 필요하다. 다양한 요구사항 중 5G에서 가장 주요시 고려 되어야 할 지연 및 신뢰도에 가장 적합한 시나리오는 지능형 교통 시스템 및 서비스 환경에서의 응급상황이다. 자동차는 매우 빠른 속도로 5G의 작은 셀들을 지나가고, 응급상황에 전달해야 하는 메시지는 매우 짧은 시간에 전달 및 처리되어야 하는 시나리오로 지연에 민감한 최악조건의 대표적인 예라고 생각할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 V2X의 응급상황에서 SDN 망 구조 및 정보흐름의 규모에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 시스템 수준의 분석을 진행하였다.
