쌈채소는 웰빙시대의 도래와 더불어 식생활에서 큰 변화를 주었고, 소비량이 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 지금까지 국내에서는 배추, 상추 등 일부 채소 작물에 대한 쌈문화가 발달해 왔지만 최근 들어 다양한 종류의 쌈채소와 재배기술에 관한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 인공 광원으로 형광등을 이용하여 식물공장내에서 비트와 쌈추의 수량과 품질을 향상시키고자 수행하였다. 처리는 식물공장내 식물체로부터 30cm 위치에 자동센서를 설치하여 온도가 20, 25, $30^{\circ}C$가 유지 되도록 하였고, 광량은 $200{\mu}mol{\pm}20{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$로 고정하고 일장은 주야간이 12/12hr, 상대 습도 50-80%로 하였다. 모든 처리구의 근권부 전기전도도(EC)는 $2.0dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 공급하였으며 재배기간 pH는 6.1-7.2로 유지되었다. 그 결과 비트의 초장과 엽면적은 온도가 높았던 $25^{\circ}C$와 $30^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리구보다 높았고, 쌈추의 경우도 온도가 높았던 처리구에서 초장, 엽면적, 생체중 및 건물중이 유의적으로 높았다. 식물체 잎의 총 페놀 함량은 비트의 경우, $20^{\circ}C$와 $25^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 각각 42.4와 $46.9mg{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$로 $30^{\circ}C$ 처리구의 $22.4mg{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$보다 2배이상 높았고, 쌈추의 경우도 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 $79.2mg{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$로 가장 높았고, $30^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 $53.7mg{\cdot}g^{-1}DW$로 가장 낮아 두 작물 모두 온도가 낮았던 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리구가 높은 경향을 보였다. 또한 식물체 잎의 총 플라보노이드 함량은 두 작물 모두 총 페놀 함량과 비슷한 경향으로 온도가 낮은 $20^{\circ}C$ 처리구에서 높은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 인공광 이용형 식물공장에서 생육과 기능성 물질 함량은 반비례 관계를 나타내고 있어 기능성 물질 함량이 높은 비트와 쌈추를 생산하고자 할 때에는 생육 온도를 $20^{\circ}C$ 정도로 관리하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 향후 생육 단계에 따른 변온관리 방법, LED와 형광등 병용이용 시스템 적용 등으로 수량성에 대한 추가적인 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the knowledge levels, attitudes, and factors affecting the choices on the education of the participants who completed their education of persons conducting clinical trial workers, and to assess the problems of the current education system for clinical trial workers, leading to improvements. Methods: Clinical trial workers (including principal investigators/subinvestigators, members of the Institutional Review Board [IRB], clinical research coordinators) who were affiliated to one of the 4 university hospitals running their own clinical trial center and IRB in Daegu and completed their education of persons conducting clinical trial workers were the subjects of this study. One hundred seven online questionnaires were answered from 2021-04-02 to 2021-04-17. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the acquired data. Independent t-test and 1-way analysis of variance were used to analyze the differences in the knowledge levels and attitudes following the characteristics of the education participants. Results: The baseline characteristics of the 107 participants were as follows: the majority of the participants were female (72.0%), were in their 30s (36.4%), had a nursing major (29.0%), were clinical research coordinators (63.6%), had never experienced a principal investigator (79.4%), had participated 3 or more educations (58.9%), had completed their maintenance course (55.1%), had 5 or more years of clinical trial experiences (34.6%). The fields on which participants had low levels of objective knowledge were "types and preparations on audits of clinical trials," "regulations on clinical trials (Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, Korea Good Clinical Practice)." The difficulties that the participants faced were on "annual educations" and "lack of information regarding the educations." Factors that showed significant differences in objective knowledge were sex (p=0.02), number of educations (p=0.004), the curriculum of 2020 (p=0.001). Age (p=0.004), having experienced a principal investigator (p=0.006), number of educations (p<0.001), the curriculum of 2020 (p<0.001), clinical trial career (p=0.001) were factors that significantly affected subjective knowledge. Attitudes toward the education were positively correlated with objective knowledge (r=0.20, p=0.04) and subjective knowledge (r=0.32, p=0.001). Major sources through which information on educations was acquired were "institutional notices," and major factors affecting the choices on the education were "when the education took place" and "where the education took place." "Within the affiliated institution," "Online classes (recorded)" and "IRB and review processes" were each the most preferred place, mode, and content of the education. Conclusion: Knowledge levels varied largely among participants who completed their education of persons conducting clinical trial workers, depending on their characteristics such as the number of educations. Participants also complained about their lack of information on educations. The quality of education may be improved if clinical trial organizations are designated as education facilities. Education programs must be developed considering the knowledge level and demand of the participants. Furthermore, as offline classes may be impossible due to pandemics such as the coronavirus disease 2019, the development of diverse and sophisticated online classes is looked forward to.

유전상담이 왜 국내 의료 현장에서는 필요한 의료서비스로 제공되고 잇지 않은 지에 대한 문제점과 해결책을 모색하고자 미국과 일본에서 유전상담이 필요한 유전 의료 서비스의 일환으로 정착되는 배경과 과정을 비교 고찰하였다. 동시에 국내 유전의료서비스의 현황과 유전상담 서비스 제공에 있어서 장애가 되는 요인들을 고찰하였다. 미국의 경우에는 1970년대 초에 산전 진단이 보편화되면서 유전상담의 수요가 늘게 되어 새로운 직종의 전문 유전상담사를 양성하게 되는 계기가 되었으며, 현재 29개의 양성과정의 교육을 통해서 3,000명에 가까운 전문유전상담사가 배출되어 임상유전 의료팀의 일원으로 임상유전학 전문의의 감독 하에 유전상담을 제공하고 있으며, 21세기 유전의료시대에 요구되는 생명유전정보관리를 위해서 유전상담의 필요성과 그 역할이 확대되고 있다. 일본에서는 정부주도하에 HGP 유전체 연구사업 이후 21세기 유전의료시대의 도래를 준비하는 밀레니엄 프로젝트 차원에서 <유전의료시스템의 구축과 운영> 및 <유전 카운슬링 체제의 구축>을 위한 대규모의 연구단을 구성하여 임상유전 전문의의 제도화와 본격적인 임상유전 전문 분야의 서비스가 의료기관에 개설되는 동시에 비의사를 위한 인정 유전카운슬러의 양성과 자격에 대한 연구를 거쳐서 2003년 7개의 대학원에서 유전상담사 양성 과정이 인정되어 2012년까지 110명의 유전카운슬러 배출을 목표로 현재 100명이 넘는 유전상담사가 인증되었다. 사회적 의료 수요에 부응하는 의학유전 유관학회와 교육기관의 전문가 그룹이 선도한 미국의 유전상담사 양성 프로그램과 정부 주도 하의 시대적 의료 변화에 부응하는 연구에 전문가들의 참여로 체계적인 유전상담 프로그램개발을 정착시킨 일본의 경우, 모두 비의사 유전상담사에 의한 유전상담 서비스에 대한 보험급여 등의 제도적인 보완 없이 선행되었다는 점은 우리에게 시사하는 점이 크다고 본다. 한국의료 현장에서 유전상담 서비스가 시도되지 않는 주 장애요소로는 유전상담에 대한 이해 부족과 무관심, 국내 의료 제도 하에서 의사의 진료 수가가 너무 낮아서 그 결과 외래에서 한 환자의 진료에 할애할 수 있는 시간은 10분을 초가 할 수 없는데, 유전상담 서비스는 장시간이 소요되기 때문이다(최소30분이상). 또한, 건강보험 급여제도에서 '유전상담'을 필요한 의료 행위로 인정하지 않고 있어서 아직 code 조차 생성되어 있지 않기 때문이다. 또한, 무엇보다도 근본적인 요인으로 유전상담 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 임상유전 전문의가 절대 부족하고, 최근까지도 국내 의과대학 교육 curriculum에 유전상담을 실제적으로 이해하고 습득할 기회가 없었기 때문에 일반 의료인에게는 유전상담에 대한 이해 부족과 무관심 등이 유전상담 서비스의 걸림돌로 파악되었다. 그러나, 대한의학유전학회에서 2007년 전문가들을 대상으로 실시한 유전상담과 전문 유전상담사 수요에 대한 전국 조사 연구에서 유전의료 현장과 연구 부분에서 유전상담과 전문 유전상담사가 매우 필요하다는 것이 확인되었다. 또한, 정부는 희귀난치성질환센터 Help Line의 유전질환 정보 제공을 통해서 유전상담을 받을 것을 권고하고 있지만, 실제로 의료 현장에서는 유전상담이 제공되고 있지 않기 때문에, 한국근육장애인협회, 저신장장애인협회, 코헴회등, 유전성환자들로 구성된 국내 자조회 등에서는 유전상담의 필요성을 제기하며, 서비스를 요구해오고 있다. 최근 한국희귀질환재단에서 유전성 희귀질환 환자와 가족들에게 유전상담 교육 강좌를 제공한 후 설문조사에 응한 283명의 81%가 이전에 유전상담에 대해서 접해 본 적이 없었고, 96%에서 유전상담이 희귀난치성질환 환자에게 도움이 될 것이라고 응답했다. 한편, 2009년 실시한 국내 실정에 맞는 유전상담사 양성을 위한 교육 프로그램과 교육기관의 인정 및 전문 자격 인증제도 수립에 대한 연구에서 관련 업무 전문 종사자 총 117명(의사52명, 전문 연구원30명, 간호대학 교수 26명 포함) 중 설문조사에 응한 88%가 대한의학유전학회에서 주관하고 유전상담위원회를 구성하여 교육 프로그램 개발과 인증제도를 구체화 할 것을 촉구하였다. 전문 인력의 양성을 위한 교육 수련 및 인증 프로그램을 개발하고 수행하는 것은 전문학회의 역할인 동시에 "사회적책임"이라고 생각한다. 새로운 분야(신기술)의 전문 임상 인력을 양성하는 데는 시간이 걸리기 때문에(유전상담사의경우, 2년의 대학원 과정과1년의clerkship, 임상수련과정 등으로 적어도 3년) 대한의학유전학회에서는 전문 유전상담사 양성을 위한 선 교육, 후 제도적 보완을 추진하는 것이 바람직한 방향이다. UNESCO에서는 이미 1995년 Report에서 유전상담은 유전자 검사의 보급이 증가하고 있는(21세기 유전의료시대) 의료현장에서 가장 빠르게 성장하고 있는 전문 분야로서 유전정보와 기법을 환자 진료에 연결하는 것을 돕는다고 하였다. 유전상담은 21세기 post-genome의 맞춤의료시대에서 그 역할과 적응범위가 확대되어가는 유전의료서비스의 일환이라는 것을 국내 의료계와 정부 의료 정책 부서에서 인지할 필요가 있다. 특히, 국내 저진료 수가의 의료정책 제도 하에서는 의사가 환자를 위해 충분한 진료시간을 확보하기 힘든데, 비의사전문유전상담사를유전의료팀의일원으로 유전상담에 참여하게 함으로써 환자와 가족들에게 정확한 유전정보에 대한 충분한 이해를 통해서 맞춤 유전 의료 서비스를 원활하고 효율적으로 제공하는데 도움이 될 것이다. 이를 위해서는 국내에서도 종합적인 유전의료 서비스의 구축 사업의 일환으로 유전상담 서비스 공급을 위한 전문 인력(유전상담사포함) 수급에 대한 지원 사업과 유전상담에 대한 건강보험 급여 인정 등 제도적인 뒷받침이 필요하다.

최근 전 세계적으로 기업의 환경(Environmental)·사회(Social)·지배구조(Governance)의 비재무적 요소를 고려한 지속가능경영이 필수적으로 요구되면서, 각 기업들은 이에 대응할 수 있는 전략적 방향 수립이 중요해지고 있다. 특히 기업이 속한 산업별로 상이한 ESG 이슈에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 산업과 개별 기업의 특성을 반영한 전략을 개발하고 추진할 수 있어야 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 금융, 제조, IT 분야별로 나누어 주요 국내 기업들의 ESG 보고서와 관련 뉴스 기사를 이용하여 산업별 ESG 동향과 활동을 비교 분석하였다. 키워드 빈도분석과 토픽 모델링을 활용한 분석 결과, 국내 ESG 선도 기업들의 지속가능경영 활동에서의 산업별 차이를 도출 할 수 있다. 금융 분야에서는 '고객 중심 경영'과 '기후 변화 대응', 제조 분야에서는 '지속가능한 공급망 관리'와 '탄소중립', IT 분야에서는 '기술혁신'과 '디지털 책임'이 강조되었다. ESG 요소별 우선 순위가 높은 활동의 예를 들면, 환경 측면에서는 '에너지 절감과 친환경 활동', 사회 측면에서는 '사회공헌과 상생', 지배구조 측면에서는 '이사회 독립성 강화와 리스크 관리' 등으로 나타났다. 더 나아가 산업별 각 ESG 요소의 핵심 이슈 뿐 아니라 ESG 보고서와 뉴스 기사의 내용 유사성 및 차별점도 확인하였다. 연구의 결과는 산업별 동향을 고려한 ESG 경영 전략 및 정책의 방향성을 제시하고 있으며 이는 산업별 ESG 평가체계 수립에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity.

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.

현행 양도소득세법에서는 상속·증여받은 자산을 양도할 때 양도가액에서 차감되는 취득가액으로 상속개시일 또는 취득일 현재 시가로 평가한 가액을 취득당시의 실지거래가액으로 인정하고 있다. 하지만 시가를 어디까지 인정할 것인가에 대해 국세청 심사청구, 조세심판원의 심판청구 및 감사원의 심사청구결과와 행정법원이 일관된 판례를 보이지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최근 10년간의 조세불복현황의 추이를 분석하고 실제 사례를 바탕으로 관련 조세심판례 및 행정법원 판례의 세법해석 및 적용상의 쟁점들을 검토한 후 개선방안을 제시하고자 한다. 분석 결과, 지난 10년간 과세전적부심사·이의신청·국세청 심사청구는 꾸준히 감소하고 있는 반면, 감사원 심사청구·조세심판원의 심판청구·행정소송은 꾸준히 증가하는 양상을 보이고 있으며 그중에서도 불복청구인들은 조세심판원의 심판청구를 가장 선호하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 상속받은 자산의 불복청구인은 행정소송의 전단계에서 이루어진 국세기본법상의 조세불복의 처분에 불복하여 10년 평균 41.4%가 행정소송으로 진행되는 것을 발견하였다. 한편, 상속·증여받은 자산의 양도시 취득가액의 시가인정범위에 대해 과세당국 및 조세심판원 등은 세법규정의 엄격해석으로 소급감정가액을 시가로 인정하지 않지만 조세행정소송에서는 객관적이고 합리적인 방법으로 평가한 가액으로서 공신력 있는 감정기관의 소급감정가격도 포함하고 있어 법원은 과세당국이나 조세심판원보다 시가의 범위 적용에 있어 좀 더 확장된 개념으로 해석하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이렇게 다른 판결이 도출될 경우 납세자 입장에서는 과세관청이나 행정법원의 판결이 상충되어 동일한 사안에 대해서 예측가능성에 혼란을 받을 수밖에 없다. 이러한 해석의 차이에 대해 납세자 입장에서는 경정청구부터 시작하여 심사 또는 심판청구라는 전심절차를 경유하여 차후 행정소송까지 진행하게 되어 불필요한 납세협력비용이 발생하게 된다. 또한 상대적으로 소송비용에 대한 부담이 크고, 세무전문가의 조력을 받기 어려운 부담여력이 낮은 납세자는 결과적으로 상대적으로 높은 세부담을 하게 되는 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 또한 과세관청, 조세심판원 및 법원도 세법의 해석이나 세금 관련 분쟁 해결에 불필요한 조세행정비용(tax administration cost)이 소요된다. 따라서 법원판례에 따라 소급감정가액 인정에 대한 규정을 신설할 필요성이 있는 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문은 선박안전법시행규칙 제5조 제9호에 규정된 임시승선자의 연혁과 현황을 살펴보고, 외국의 입법례를 참고하여 개선방안을 제시하였다. 2015년 해양수산부장관은 농산물 수산물 가축 운송차량 등의 운전자를 임시승선자로 규정한 선박안전법시행규칙 제5조 제9호는 여객선에만 적용되고 화물선에는 적용되지 않는다는 유권해석을 내렸다. 이러한 유권해석은 전통적 해석방법론 뿐만 아니라 오늘날 일반적으로 통용되는 해석방법론에도 부합하지 않기 때문에 근거가 부족하고 설득력이 없어 보이며, 이 방법론에 따르면 선박안전법시행규칙 제5조 제9호는 여객선뿐만 아니라 화물선에도 적용될 수 있다. 또한, 로로화물선의 경우 선원과 동승하여 생활하는 선원의 가족이나 선박소유자 등은 임시승선자로 인정하더라도 승선인원의 안전과 선박의 안전운항에 문제가 없다고 하면서도, 화물관리인은 임시승선사로 인정하지 않는 것은 형평성에도 어긋날 뿐만 아니라 논리적 모순이 있다. 따라서 불필요한 논쟁과 송사를 피하기 위해서는 법률개정을 통한 입법론으로 개선방안을 마련하는 것이 바람직하며, 우리나라에서 운송되는 화물의 특수성이나 선박 운항의 특수성과 물류시스템의 현황을 반영하고, 자의적인 해석이 아니라 일반인의 상식적 판단에 따른 객관적 기준을 제시하기 위해서는 선박안전법시행규칙 제5조 제9호는 "화물의 특성상 특별한 관리가 필요한 농산물 수산물 운송차량, 가축 운송차량 및 폭발성 인화성 물질 운송차량의 화물관리인(운전자는 화물관리인을 겸할 수 있다)"으로 개정하여야 한다.

우리나라는 겨울철에 미세조류가 성장하기에 적합하지 않은 기후조건을 가진다. 따라서, 차세대 바이오매스의 공급원료로서의 미세조류 배양을 겨울철에 이룩하기는 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서는 적은 에너지를 이용하여 미세조류가 성장이 불가한 영외환경에서 미세조류를 성장시키기 위해서, 삼중막의 비닐하우스를 설치하였다. 또한 투명한 아크릴 재질로 수조를 제작하여 빛을 수조의 모든 면에서 받을 수 있게 함으로써, 빛의 이용성을 최대화하였다. 6가지의 다양한 실험조건을 설정하여 겨울철 영하의 기후조건에서 최소한의 비용으로 하수종말처리장 폐수를 사용하여 미세조류를 배양하였다. 또한 미세조류 바이오매스를 증가시킴과 동시에 환경오염의 원인이 될 수 있는 영양염류 성분 중 질소를 최대 92%, 인을 최대 99%까지 제거시켰다. 본 연구에서 바이오디젤의 원료가 될 수 있는 가장 주된 지방산은 리놀렌산(C18 : 3n3)으로 총 지질량의 최대 61%까지 차지했다. 지방산의 생산성은 2.4 g $m^{-2}day^{-1}$이었다. 결론적으로, 본 연구를 통하여 차세대 바이오매스 생산을 위한 미세조류 배양을 저온 시기에서도 이룩하였으며, 그에 따른 폐수처리에서도 좋은 성과를 이루었다.
