우리나라 김치의 공업적 생산에 이바지 하고저 본 연구에서는 김치의 경제적이고 실용적인 포장방법과 제품의 신선도를 장기간 유지시킬 수 있는 저장방법의 개발을 시도하였다. 1. Panel test의 결과 우리나라 사람들의 식성은 김치의 적정산도가 젖산으로서 0.4%부터 0.75% 사이에 있을 때를 가식범위로 하고 있으며 최적 성숙시기는 0.5%부근임을 알았다. 그런데 냉장이나 방부제 사용의 경우에는 포장 후에도 제품의 성숙이 미약하게나마 계속되므로 이를 감안하여 적정산도 0.45% 정도인 약간 미숙한 시기가 포장적기라 할 수 있다. 저온 가열살균 방법을 이용할 경우는 성숙이 순간적으로 정지되므로 적정산도 0.5%의 시기가 최적 포장적기라 할수 있다. 2. Polyethylene, polypropylene 및 polycello의 3종의 포장 재료중 polyethylene은 대체로 양호한편이나 작업 및 취급 도중 포장의 파열이 빈번하고 김치 냄새의 일산이 심한 것이 단점이며 , polypropylene은 전자 보다는 훨씬 우수하며 포장이 강인 하고 투명도도 좋으나 역시 냄새의 일산이 다소 있었다. polycello는 물리적인 특성면에 있어서는 거의 이상적인 재료이지만 가격이 비싼 것이 단점이었다. 그리고 김치포장시 플라스틱 필름의 두께는 0.08mm가 가장 적당하였다. 3. 냉동방법에 의한 김치 저장은 장기간 제품을 산패없이 보존할 수는 있으나 해동시 배추 조직으로부터의 탈수 현상이 일어나 김치의 texture가 불량하게 되므로 적당한 방법이라 할 수 없었다. 4. 냉장방법은 김치의 신선도를 오랫동안 잘 유지시키는 데에 있어서는 가장 좋은 방법이었다. 냉장온도는 $0^{\circ}C$가 최적이었고 3개월 정도의 저장이 가능하였다. 5. 방부제에 의한 김치의 저장은 대체로 큰 효과를 얻을 수 없었는데 사용한 방부제 중에서는 potassium sorbate가 가장 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며 이에 의한 저장 가능 기간은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 4일 $30^{\circ}C$에서 2일 정도이었다. 6. 저온 가열 살균 방법에 있어서는 제품의 크기 및 두께가 열 침투에 크게 영향을 미쳐 살균정도를 좌우하였다. 얻어진 결과로서는 1.5cm 정도의 포장 두께에서 $65^{\circ}C$, 20분간의 가열 살균이 최적이며 이렇게 처리된 김치는 신선도가 별로 손상되지 않고 실온에서 1개월정도 저장이 가능하였다. 7. 병합처리 방법으로는 방법으로는 방부제와 저온 가열 처리의 복합방법, 방부제와 냉장의 복합방법, 그리고 열처리와 냉장의 복합방법을 실험하였는데 앞의 두 방법은 별로 처리 효과가 없었으나 세번째 방법은 상당히 좋은 효과가 있어 가열처리 후 상온에 저장하였을 때 일어나는 조직의 점진적인 변화가 방지될 뿐더러 냉장만을 적용할때 오는 발효의 진행을 중지시켜 4개월 이상 김치를 신선하게 유지시킬 수 있었다. 이때 가열처리 조건은 $65^{\circ}C$에서 20분간이었으며 냉장온도는 $4^{\circ}C$였다.

암석이 풍화되어 감에 따라 지반 지지력이 감소되는 것은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 토목 구조물의 시공과 설계에서는 암석의 풍화에 의한 지반정수의 변화가 많이 인용되고 있는데 본 연구는 우리나라 면적의 45.5%에 해당되는 화성암을 대상으로 풍화정도에 따른 화학적 변질지수의 값의 범위와 풍화에 따른 광물조성의 변화를 분석하였다. 대상 시료에 대하여 현재까지 제안된 풍화지수들을 산정하였으며, 유의성 분석을 통해서 지수간의 높은 상관성을 확인하였다. 각각의 풍화지수들은 풍화가 진행될수록 값이 증가 또는 감소하는 경향을 보이는데, 화학적 변질지수(CIA)는 암종이나 광물에 따른 값이 기존연구에서 제시되어 있어 풍화의 정도를 판별하기 용이하므로 본 연구에서는 이를 이용하여 풍화정도를 평가하였다. 풍화에 따른 광물학적 변화는 산성질의 영역에 포함되는 암석은 풍화가 진행되어 감에 따라 기반암-일라이트-녹니석-카올린의 경로를 따르나 고철질의 영역에 포함되는 암석은 풍화 진행에 따라 기반암-스멕타이트-녹니석-카올린의 경로를 주로 따르게 된다. 즉 고철질의 암석에서는 풍화과정에서 양이온교환능이 높은 팽윤성의 점토광물인 스멕타이트의 함량이 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 화학적 풍화지수는 화학성분의 상대적인 변화와 비율을 근거로 작성된 지수이므로 암종별로 값의 범위가 넓게 나타나며, 특정 암종의 대표값을 결정하기 어렵다. 그러나 화학적 풍화지수는 다른 풍화정도를 판별하는 기준들과 마찬가지로 정성적인 기준이 아닌 정량적인 기준으로 풍화도를 평가하는 데 활용이 가능한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 특정지역의 풍화정도를 평가하기 위해서는 화학적 변질지수와 함께 풍화광물의 함량비, 풍화에 따른 강도 특성 등을 함께 고려하는 것이 좋을것으로 판단된다.

2001년 9.11테러로 인한 미국 세계무역센터 및 미국 국방성 펜타곤이 붕괴된 이후, 전 세계적으로 충돌, 폭발 등의 극한하중에 의한 테러가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 극한하중에 의한 구조물의 거동에 대한 사회적 불안감은 더욱 증가되고 있다. 그러나 지금까지의 사회기반시설구조물에는 폭발 및 충돌 등과 같은 극한하중에 대한 방호 및 방재개념을 설계에 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이며, 원전격납건물, 가스탱크, 교량, 터널 등에 널리 사용되는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물에 대한 극한하중 연구는 전 세계적으로 미흡하다. 충돌과 같은 극한하중은 집약된 에너지의 급작스런 방출로 인한 높은 충돌압력을 형성하므로, 극한하중의 특성 및 전파 메커니즘을 이해하는 것이 필요하다. 그러므로 이 연구에서는 이방향 비부착 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 패널의 충돌저항성능을 비교검토하기 위하여, $1400mm{\times}1000mm{\times}300mm$의 철근콘크리트(RC), 프리스트레스 텐던으로만 보강된 콘크리트(PS), 프리스트레스 텐던과 철근으로 보강된 콘크리트(PSR, 일반적인 PSC) 시편을 제작하였다. 실험 조건에 맞춰 14 kN의 추를 10 m, 5 m, 4 m 높이에서 낙하하는 예비 실험과 3.5 m 높이의 본 실험으로 구성하여 충돌하중에 대한 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 구조물의 실험적 평가를 수행하였다. 또한, 충돌실험을 위한 기본적인 실험 구성 및 계측시스템을 구축하였다. 충돌 저항성능은 균열형상, 손상면적, 에너지 흡수, 처짐, 변형률, 가속도 등의 충돌에 의한 계측데이터를 이용한 거동분석 뿐만 아니라, 충돌 후 잔류구조성능 실험을 수행하여 이방향 비부착 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 패널의 충돌저항성능을 검토하였다. 본 실험은 향후 국내외 프리스트레스트 콘크리트에 대한 충돌 방호설계 및 충돌해석 등 관련 연구분야의 기초자료가 될 것이라고 판단되는 바이다.

Proliferation of Nocardia amarae cells in activated sludge has often been associated with the generation of nuisance foams. Despite intense research activities in recent years to examine the causes and control of Nocardia foaming in activated sludge, the foaming continued to persist throughout the activated sludge treatment plants in United States. In addition to causing various operational problems to treatment processes, the presence of Nocardia may have secondary effects on the fate of heavy metals that are not well known. For example, for treatment plants facing more stringent metal removal requirements, potential metal removal by Nocardia cells in foaming activated sludge would be a welcome secondary effect. In contrast, with new viosolid disposal regulations in place (Code o( Federal Regulation No. 503), higher concentration of metals in biosolids from foaming activated sludge could create management problems. The goal of this research was to investigate the metal sorption property of Nocardia amarae cells grown in batch reactors and in chemostat reactors. Specific surface area and metal sorption characteristics of N. amarae cells harvested at various growth stages were compared. Three metals examined in this study were copper, cadmium and nickel. Nocardia amarae strain (SRWTP isolate) used in this study was obtained from the University of California at Berkeley. The pure culture was grown in 4L batch reactor containing mineral salt medium with sodium acetate as the sole carbon source. In order to quantify the sorption of heavy metal ions to N amarae cell surfaces, cells from the batch reactor were harvested, washed, and suspended in 30mL centrifuge tubes. Metal sorption studies were conducted at pH 7.0 and ionlc strength of 10-2M. The sorption Isotherm showed that the cells harvested from the stationary and endogenous growth phase exhibited significantly higher metal sorption capacity than the cells from the exponential phase. The sequence of preferential uptake of metals by N. amarae cells was Cu>Cd>Ni. The specific surFace area of Nocardia cells was determined by a dye adsorption method. N.amarae cells growing at ewponential phase had significantly less specific surface area than that of stationary phase, indicating that the lower metal sorption capacity of Nocardia cells growing at exponential phase may be due to the lower specific surface area. The growth conditions of Nocardia cells in continuous culture affect their cell surface properties, thereby governing the adsorption capacity of heavy metal. The comparison of dye sorption isotherms for Nocardia cells growing at various growth rates revealed that the cell surface area increased with increasing sludge age, indicating that the cell surface area is highly dependent on the steady-state growth rate. The highest specific surface area of 199m21g was obtained from N.amarae cell harvested at 0.33 day-1 of growth rate. This result suggests that growth condition not only alters the structure of Nocardia cell wall but also affects the surface area, thus yielding more binding sites of metal removal. After reaching the steady-state condition at dilution rate, metal adsorption isotherms were used to determine the equilibrium distributions of metals between aqueous and Nocardia cell surfaces. The metal sorption capacity of Nocardia biomass harvested from 0.33 day-1 of growth rate was significantly higher than that of cells harvested from 0.5- and 1-day-1 operation, indicatng that N.amarae cells with a lower growth rate have higher sorpion capacity. This result was in close agreement with the trend observed from the batch study. To evaluate the effect of Nocardia cells on the metal binding capacity of activated sludge, specific surface area and metal sorption capacity of the mixture of Nocardia pure cultures and activated sludge biomass were determined by a series of batch experiments. The higher levels of Nocardia cells in the Nocardia-activated sludge samples resulted in the higher specific surface area, explaining the higher metal sorption sites by the mixed luquor samples containing greater amounts on Nocardia cells. The effect of Nocardia cells on the metal sorption capacity of activated sludge was evaluated by spiking an activated sludge sample with various amounts of pre culture Nocardia cells. The results of the Langmuir isotherm model fitted to the metal sorption by various mixtures of Nocardia and activated sludge indicated that the mixture containing higher Nocardia levels had higher metal adsorption capacity than the mixture containing lower Nocardia levels. At Nocardia levels above 100mg/g VSS, the metal sorption capacity of activate sludge increased proportionally with the amount of Noeardia cells present in the mixed liquor, indicating that the presence of Nocardia may increase the viosorption capacity of activated sludge.

정어리육을 원료로 한 대중적 소비성향의 대량 소비를 할 수 있는 식품의 중간 소재를 개발할 목적으로 정어리의 연육가공방법과 연육의 성상과 이를 소재로 한 제품의 물성에 관여하는 원료의 선도, 세척방법, 첨가물, 저장조건 등 여러가지 가공조건의 최적화를 검토하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같이 요약된다. 1. 정어리육의 단백질은 저온에 저장하여 선도를 유지하여도 급격히 불용화하여 제품의 탄력과 물성도 매우 저하하였다. 원료정어리의 저장온도가 $5^{\circ}C$인 경우는 3일이내에 $-20^{\circ}C$의 경우는 20일 이내에 연육의 탄력형성능이 한계에 도달하였다. 2. 연육의 세척에 의한 수용성단백질의 제거와 염용성단백질의 안정화 효과는 세척회수($3{\sim}6$회)에 따른 큰 차는 없이 $3{\sim}4$회의 세척으로 충분하였는데 세칙방법별로는 수세, 알카리세척 및 산용액 세척의 경우 수용성단백질의 제거가 각각 $32\%,\;80\%,\;75\%$로 알카리세척이 보다 효과적이였고 제품의 물성도 좋았으며 지방의 제거는 세가지 경우 모두 $50{\sim}60\%$였다. 3. 정어리연육 저장중의 단백질 안정화와 연육의 탄력형성능의 보존을 위하여 중합인산염과 sorbitol의 첨가효과를 검토하였는데 연육을 $-30^{\circ}C$ 저장하였을 경우 이들의 첨가비에 따라 즉 인산염과 sorbitol이 $0.3\%$와 $3\%$일 때 35일, $0.6\%$와 $3\%$일 때 28일, $0.6\%$와 $6\%$일 때 21일, sorbitol 단독 $3\%$와 인산염 단독 $0.3\%$일 때는 각각 14일, 무첨가의 대조시료는 7일 이내에 탄력형성 굴곡시험 A에 도달하였고, 연제품의 물성도 저하하셨다. 이때 연육의 탄력형성의 한계와 염용성단백질의 함량간에는 밀접한 관계가 있어 염용성단백질소 함량 8.0mg/g가 경계였다. 4. 세척과정에서 유실된 지방을 보충하여 지방함량 $5\%,\;7\%$ 되도록 하였을 때, 연제품의 탄력성과 물성에는 큰 변화가 없었다.

본 논문에서는 프레임율의 저하없이 개선된 해상도를 얻을 수 있는 동시 다중 송신집속 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 짧은 펄스를 사용하여 한 영역에 고정 송신 집속하는 기존의 방법과는 달리 여러 송신 집속점에 서로 독립적으로 집속된 쳐프 신호들을 동시에 송신한다. 수신된 신호는 정합 과정을 통하여 송신 집속 위치에 따라 각 쳐프 신호로 분리되고 짧은 펄스로 압축된다. 이렇게 압축되고 분리된 신호들은 각각 수신 동적 집속된 후 거리에 따라 집속 위치별로 선택되고 하나의 신호로 결합되어 개선된 측방향 해상도의 영상을 구성한다. 송신시 동시에 여러 위치에 초음파를 집속하고 수신시 이를 분리하기 위해서 사용된 터프 신호들은 주파수 대역에서 분할되어 서로 직교 특성을 갖도록 설계되었는데 변환자의 제한된 대역폭내에 많은 수의 의미있는 쳐프 신호를 설계하기 위해서 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 대역 겹침을 허용하였다. 이때 대역 겹침으로 발생한 상호상관값의 상승을 억제하기 위해 인접한 두 쳐프 신호의 주파수 변화 방향을 엇갈리게 하는 밥법을 제안하였다. 특히 대역분할로 설계된 쳐프 신호중 낮은 주파수 성분의 신호를 변환자로부터 가까운 지역에 집속하고 높은 주파수 성분의 쳐프 신호를 먼 지역에 집속함으로써 깊이에 따라 영상의 해상도의 질을 일정하게 유지시켰다 더욱이 상관기를 이용한 정합 과정에서 신호가 압축되기 때문에 펄스 압축 기법에서 얻는 SNR를 증가시키는 이점이 있다 이때 상관기를 통한 압축 과정에서 쳐프 신호의 첨두값이 쳐프 신호의 길이에 따라 증가하기 때문에 깊이에 따를 높은 주파수 성분의 감쇄에도 불구하고 이렇게 높은 주파수 성분의 터프 신호를 깊은 지역에 사용할 수 있었다. 제안한 동시 다중 송신집속 기반의 시스템을 상관기의 위치에 따라 이상적인 구조와 현실적인 구조로 나타냈으며, 모사 실험을 통하여 기존의 펄스 집속 기법과 비교하여 그 성능을 검증하였다.hrough the medium. By digitizing the analog receiver outputs, and recording the signals for spectral analysis, surface wave velocities can be identified. Modifications to the SASW method includes the reduction of boundary reflections as adopted on the surface waves before the point where the reflected compression waves reach the receivers. In this study, the correlation between the surface wave velocity and the compressive strength of cement mortar is developed using one 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slab of 2,000 psi (140 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$) and two 36"x36"x4"(91.44$\times$91.44$\times$91.44 cm) cement mortar slabs of 3,000 psi (210 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$). public transportation, and availability of locally grown food were the important factors for deciding the place compared to those who had higher education.

다층필름의 투습도는 일반적으로 지방산의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며 lauric acid를 30%첨가하여 제조만 적층필름은 $0.497\;ng\;m/m^2\;s\;Pa$로 가장 낮은 투습도를 나타내었다. 적층필름의 인장강도는 일반적으로 지방산의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, oleic acid를 10% 첨가한 필름에서 36.21 MPa로 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 옥수수 단백/카라기난 적층필름의 연신도의 경우 lauric acid가 첨가된 경우 지방산의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나 oleic acid가 첨가된 경우 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 고등어 patty를 냉장$(5^{\circ}C)$과 냉동$(-20^{\circ}C)$ 온도에서 포장하지 않은 채 저장하거나, 지방산을 달리하여 제조한 3종류의 옥수수 단백/카라기난 적층필름으로 진공포장하여 저장하였다. $5^{\circ}C$에서 냉장 저장한 시료는 포장 방법과 필름의 종류에 상관없이 $7{\sim}42.7%$의 무게 감소를 나타냈다. $-20^{\circ}C$에서 냉동저장시 지방산을 첨가하지 않고 제조한 적층필름으로 포장한 시료는 30일 경과시 무게가 11.7% 감소되었고, oleic acid 및 lauric acid를 첨가하여 만든 필름으로 포장한 시료는 무게감소가 각각 6.97%와 0.81%로 나타났다. 과산화물가 및 TBA가는 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장한 무포장 시료에서 가장 높았으며, $-20^{\circ}C$에서 냉동 저장한 시료는 대체적으로 낮았으나, 같은 온도에 저장한 다른 시료에 비하여 무포장 시료에서 약간 높게 나타냈다. 또한 지방산을 첨가하여 제조한 필름으로 포장한 시료에서 무첨가 필름으로 포장한 시료에서보다 과산화물가 및 TBA가가 약간 높게 나타났다.

현재 토기 및 도자기를 보존처리 할 때 사용되고 있는 접착 복원제의 경우 크게 Epoxy계, Cellulose계, Cyanoacrylate계 등이 사용되고 있으나 재료에 따라 심한 수축으로 인한 재탈락, 황변 현상으로 인한 색상 변화, 사용시 도구와 손에 묻어나오는 불편한 작업성, 비가역성 등 다양한 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 도자기 복원용으로 사용되고 있는 Epoxy resin의 황변 현상과 비가역성의 문제점 해결을 목적으로 저황변, 가역성이 우수한 Urethane계 합성수지를 개발하였다. 개발된 Urethane resin의 접착력은 원액 2.07MPa로 기존 재료인 $EPO-TEK301^{(R)}$ 1.21MPa로 1.5배 이상의 우수한 물성을 지니고 있다. 가공성 측정 결과 Urethane resin(in Talc 50wt%)의 마모율이 1.09%로 기존 재료인 Quick $Wood^{(R)}$(1.02%)의 마모율 보다는 다소 높게 측정되었으며, EPO-$TEK301^{(R)}$(0.41%)와 $L30^{(R)}$ (0.39%)보다 는 2배 이상의 마모율을 보이고 있어 기존의 재료보다 쉽게 성형 과정이 이루어질 수 있는 장점을 지니고 있다. Urethane resin의 장점인 가역성 실험은 Acetone, Ethyl Alcohol 침적 후 12시간 경과 후 Urethane resin과 충전제인 Talc가 분말화 현상을 나타내며 100% 용해되었으며, 기존 Epoxy resin의 가역성이 0%인 것에 비해 매우 우수한 가역성을 지니고 있다. 내구성 평가를 위한 자외선 실험 결과 Urethane resin의 원액 기준 ${\Delta}E^*ab$ 색상 변화 값이 자외선 노출 전 후 2.76로 기존의 Epoxy resin보다 약 7~20배 정도 줄어 황변 현상으로 인한 이질감의 문제점을 최소화하였다.

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.

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.

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.
