창업보육센터는 창업을 준비하는 예비창업자 및 신규 창업자에게 사업을 영위하는데 필요한 자원 및 서비스를 제공하고, 사업을 수행하는 과정에서 발생되는 다양한 문제의 해결에 도움을 주고 있다. 그러나 이러한 지원은 상황에 따라 기업의 자생력을 높이기보다는 창업보육센터에 대한 의존도를 높이는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 창업보육서비스를 제공형태에 따라 인프라 지원, 네트워크 연계 지원, 직접 지원으로 분류한 후에 이들 서비스의 제공이 입주기업의 창업보육센터 의존도에 미치는 영향관계를 살펴보고, 아울러 입주기간에 따른 조절효과를 살펴보았다. 연구결과 세 가지 보육서비스 모두 의존도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 파악되었으며, 입주기간에 따른 조절효과는 기간이 늘어날수록 네트워크 연계 지원서비스에 정의 효과가 있는 반면 직접 지원서비스는 부의 효과가 있는 것으로 파악되었다. 이러한 결과는 입주기간이 늘어감에 따라 직접 지원서비스의 경우에는 입주기업이 센터의 자원을 흡수하여 기업의 역량으로 만들어 가지만, 네트워크 연계 지원서비스는 기업의 센터에 대한 의존도를 높이고 있다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 신생기업이 자생력을 갖기 위해서는 보육서비스를 보육기간에 따라 차별적으로 제공해야 한다는 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

(2) 젓갈원료(原料) 및 젓갈에서 분리(分離)한 관여미생물(關與微生物)에 대(對)하여 효소특성(酵素特性)을 검토(檢討)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. a) 젓갈원료중(原料中)에 protease는 소량(少量) 존재(存在)하나 식염농도(食鹽濃度) 7%에서 protease 활성(活性)이 현저(顯著)하게 조해(阻害)를 받아 그 효소활성(酵素活性)의 $30{\sim}60%$나 감소(減少)하였다. b) 내염성세균(耐鹽性細菌)인 Bacillus subtilis 7-6, 11-1, 3-6 9-4 등(等) 4 균주(菌株)는 complete media에서 생성(生成)한 protease 활성(活性)은 식염농도(食鹽濃度) 7%에서 약간 조해(阻害)를 받아 활성(活性)이 $10{\sim}30%$가 감소(減少)하였고 Sarcina litoralis 8-14 및 8­16 양균주(兩菌株)는 동배지(同培地)에서 생성(生成)한 protease 활성(活性)은 식염농도(食鹽濃度) 7%에서 그 발효활성(醱酵活性)의 $10{\sim}20%$가 감소(減少)하였다. c) 젓갈 원료중(原料中)의 단백질(蛋白質)은 자가효소(自家酵素)에 의한것보다 주(主)로 젓갈숙성중(熟成中) 관여미생물(關與微生物)의 protease에 의(依)한 가수분해(加水分解)로 유리(遊離) amino 산(酸)이 생성(生成)됨을 알 수 있었다. d) 젓갈원료(原料) 및 젓갈의 RNA-depolymerase는 젓갈중(中) RNA를 nucleoside 및 유리인산(遊離燐酸)까지 분해(分解)하므로 정미성(呈味性) 5'-mononucleotide로서 축적(蓄積)되기 어렵다 e) 조개젓에서 분리(分離)한 Bacillus subtilis 3-6 균주(菌株)가 생성(生成)한 효소(酵素)는 RNA를 분해(分解)하여 5’-mononucleotide로 축적(蓄積)하므로 이 균주(菌株)가 생성(生成)한 RNA 분해효소(分解酵素)는 5’-phosphodiesterase임을 밝혔다. f) Bacillus subtilis 3-6 strain의 효소생성배지중(酵素生成培地中)에 corn steep liquor 0.5% 농도(濃度)로 첨가(添加)한 구(區)와 조개젓 0.5% 농도(濃度)로 첨가(添加)한 구(區)에서 5’-phosphodiesterase 생성증가(生成增加)를 보았으므로 corn steep liquor 및 조개젓 성분(成分)이 각각(各各) 5’-phosphodiesterase 생성증가제(生成增加劑)가 됨을 밝혔으며 또한 이 효소(酵素)는 10%의 식염농도(食鹽濃度)에서 활성조해(活性阻害)를 받아 $10{\sim}30%$에 해당(該當)되는 활성(活性)이 감소(減少)되었고 식염농도(食鹽濃度) 20%에서 이 효소활성(酵素活性)의 $40{\sim}60%$가 감소(減少)함을 나타냈다. 그리고 이 균주(菌株)의 5’­phosphodiesterase에 의(依)하여 젓갈중(中) 5’-mononucleotides가 생성(生成)되는 것이라고 생각된다. (3) 젓갈의 유리(遊離) amino 산(酸)을 Autoanalyzer로 정량(定量)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. a) 조개젓은 산성(酸性) amino 산(酸)인 glutamic acid, asp artic acid 함량(含量)이 다른 젓갈보다 $2{\sim}10$배(倍) 정도(程度)로 현저하게 많아서 조개젓의 구수한 맛이 발현(發現)되는 것이라고 생각(生覺)된다. b) 조기젓에는 basic amino acid인 arginine, histidine함량(含量)이 다른 젓갈보다 특이(特異)하게 많았다. c) 오징어젓은 함류황(含硫黃) amino산(酸)인 cystine함량(含量)이 다른 젓갈의 $17{\sim}130$배(倍), methionine함량(含量)이 $7{\sim}17$배정도(倍程度)로 현저하게 많았다. d) 굴젓에는 필수(必須) amino 산(酸)인 lysine, threonine iso leucine, leucine 함량(含量)이 다른 젓갈보다 현저하게 많을 뿐아니라 또한 감미성(甘味性) amino 산(酸)인 alanine 함량(含量)이 다른 젓갈들보다 4배(倍), glycine 함량(含量)이 $3{\sim}14$배정도(倍程度)로 함유(含有)하고 있어 이것이 굴젓 특유(特有)의 단맛을 발현(發現)하는 것이라 생각(生覺)된다. (4) 4종(種) 젓갈에 대(對)한 5'-mononucleotide를 ion exchange column chromatography로 측정(測定)한 결과(結果)는 다음과 같다. a) 조개젓에는 5'-adenylic acid, 3’-adenylic acid 가 많이 들어있고 5'-inosinic acid가 미량(微量)들어 있다. b) 굴젓에는 5'-adenylic acid와 3’-adenylic acid가 다른 mononucleotides보다 현저하게 많았다. c) 오징어젓에는 5'-adenylic 및 3'-adenylic acid만이 함유(含有)되어 있는데 이것은 패류(貝類)의 젓갈들과 같 이 무척추연체동물(無脊椎軟體動物)이며 이것들은 adenylic deaminase가 결여(缺如)되어 있어 mononucleotide중(中) adenylic acid의 함량(含量)이 높아 adenylic acid-type 임을 알았다. d) 조기젓 중(中)에는 5'-inosinic acid 함량(含量)이 다른젓갈보다 현저하게 많았으므로 이것은 다른 척추동물(脊椎動物)의 어육(魚肉)이나 수육(獸肉)과 같이 adenylic deaminase가 있어 5'-inosinic acid가 많은 inosinic acid-type임을 알았다. (5) 정미성(呈味性) amino 산(酸) 및 5'-mononucleotide의 조성(組成)과 함량(含量)으로 맛의 조화성(調和性)을 비교(比較)하여 보면 다음과 같다. a) 조기젓은 glutamic acid와 aspartic acid가 풍부(豊富)하고 소량(小量)의 5'-inosinic acid가 공존(共存)된 상태(狀態)이므로 정미성분조성(呈味成分組成)과 함량(含量)이 잘 조화(調和)되어 구수한 맛의 상승작용(相乘作用)이 적당(適當)하게 발현(發現)됨을 구명(究明)하였다. b) 조개젓의 맛은 정미성(呈味性) 5’-mononucleotides에서 유래(由來)되는것 보다는 현저하게 많이 들어있는 glutamic acid 및 aspartic acid에 기인됨을 알았다.

소비자가 인터넷을 통해 상품이나 서비스를 구입할 때, 가격은 해당 상품이나 서비스 등에 대한 다양한 정보 중에서 중요한 판단요소로 작용한다. 따라서 판매자가 제공하는 가격표시에 대해서 소비자가 적절한 의사결정 및 선택을 할 수 있도록 다양한 규제가 이루어지고 있다. 특히 항공편의 금액표시와 관련하여 예약단계에서는 수수료나 공항시설사용료, 유류할증료 등을 산입하지 않은 가격이 표시되어 고객이 예약을 완료한 후에야 비로소 이러한 구성요소들이 가산된다는 것을 알게 되는 등의 문제가 계속해서 발생해왔다. 이에 2008년 EU에서는 항공업무규칙이 제정되어 EU 역내에서의 항공편 가격표시에 대해 통일적인 규제가 이루어지게 되었다. 이 규칙은 인터넷 예약사이트 상의 가격표시에도 적용이 된다. 항공운임의 최종가격 표시와 관련한 최초의 사례가 2015년의 Air Berlin v. the Bundesverband 판결이다. 본 판결은 최종가격이 예약시스템의 어느 단계에서 표시되어야 하는가, 또 고객이 선택할 가능성이 있는 모든 항공편에 표시되어야 하는가의 여부와 관련한 사안으로 이 문제에 대하여 EU 사법재판소에서 최초로 판단을 제시한 것이다. 본 판결은 판결은 인터넷 예약 시스템상의 최종지불운임표시시기와 그 방법에 관하여 EU 사법재판소가 구체적인 판단기준을 제시한 최초의 사례라는 점에서 중요한 의의를 갖는다. EC 1008/2008 규칙 제23조의 규정목적은 가격의 투명성과 비교가능성의 보장이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 고객에게는 가격이 표시되는 최초의 화면부터 선택후보가 되는 모든 항공편에 대하여 최종가격을 표시되어야 한다. 일견 앞에서 살펴본 독일과 미국의 최근의 논의를 계승하고 있는 것처럼 보이기도 하지만, 소비자인 고객에게 가격을 효과적으로 비교할 가능성을 보장하고, 특히 동업종의 타사와의 비교를 가능하게 한다는 점에서 보면, 이와 같은 해석은 보편적이라고 할 수 있다. 현재 우리나라의 경우 총액운임표시제도를 의무화하고 있으나 최종가격의 표시 시기나 방법과 관련하여 현재 우리에게 문제되고 있는 것은 신용카드를 통한 가격할인을 우선적으로 표시하여 정작 정상운임은 스크롤을 한참 아래로 내려야 겨우 확인이 가능한 문제, 인터넷 배너를 통해 최저가 항공권이라고 광고하고 배너를 클릭해서 들어가 보면 실상은 최저가 운임이 아닌 다른 요금으로 책정이 되게 되는 문제, 최저가 운임에 초점을 두어 소비자의 소비심리를 자극하고, 정작 중요한 취소 수수료에 대한 고지는 소홀히 하는 등의 문제이다. 이러한 점을 해결하기 위해서는 홈페이지 항공권 예약 과정에서도 소비자가 쉽게 확인할 수 있도록 팝업창으로 띄우거나 게시해야 할 필요성이 있다고 생각한다. 인터넷의 발달로 국내 항공사 및 국내 여행 사이트 뿐 만이 아니라 국외 여행 사이트까지 다양하게 소비자가 접근할 수 있는 만큼 국내 소비자를 보호하는 섬세한 규정들이 필요한 시점이다. 현재 가격표시와 관련한 문제는 글로벌 여행예약사이트와 저가항공사의 항공권 예약 건에서 집중된다. 국내예약사이트와 국내일반항공사의 경우 총액운임표시제도와 국내 환불규정에 의해 규제를 받기 때문에 소비자의 피해가 이들에 비해 상대적으로 덜할 수밖에 없다. 반면 글로벌 여행 예약사이트와 저가항공사와 같은 업체들은 이러한 국내 규정들을 무시한 채 허위 과장광고를 통해 소비자를 현혹하고, 결과적으로 국내 소비자의 피해는 급증하고 있는 현실이다. 정부의 법적 제도적 지원과 항공사 및 여행업체의 다각적인 노력 및 아울러 소비자들의 적극적인 참여와 노력이 없으면 항공시장 활성화를 통한 가격경쟁과 서비스개선을 기대하기 어려울 것이다. 소비자들은 항공시장에서 항공운임 및 항공서비스와 관련한 최종적인 심판자 역할을 수행해야 한다. 최종적으로 지불해야 하는 가격을 최초단계에서 고객에게 제시한다는 것은 중요하지만 그 표시방법 등에 대해서도 앞으로 계속적 검토할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 사건이 향후 우리에게 발생할 수 있는 문제들에게 하나의 고려문제가 될 수 있다고 생각된다.

2010년까지 국내 논에서 설포닐우레아(sulfonylurea : SU)계 제초제들에 대한저항성잡초로 확인된 잡초들 1998년도에 충남서산 간척지 논에서 물옥잠이 확인이후 일년생 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등 7초종, 다년생 올미, 새섬매자기 등 다년생 잡초 3초종이 발생하여 총 10초종이다. 그리고 2009년 ACCase 및 ALS 저해제들에 대한 저항성 피가 담수직파 논의 서 남부지역에서 처음 확인되었다. 초기에는 SU계 제초제들에 대한 저항성잡초들인 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이, 알방동사니 등은 하나의 논 필지에 하나의 초종들이 발생을 하였으나 최근에는 하나의 필지에 다수의 초종들이 동시적으로 발생하고 있다. 2008년도에 전국 861필지의 논에서 채취한 토양에서 발생하고 있는 물달개비 및 올챙이고랭이의 저항성 비율은 각각 42% 및 23%로 나타났다. 저항성잡초들의 생체중을 50% 억제한 농도($GR_{50}$)는 저항성 계통이 감수성 계통에 비해 수 십배에서 수 천배 높게 나타났다. ACCase 및 ALS 저해 제초제들인 cyhalofopbutyl, pyriminobac-methyl, penoxsulam 저항성 강피에 대한 저항성 계통의 $GR_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해 각각 14, 8, 11배나 높게 나타났다. 한국의 논에서 제초제 저항성의 다발생과 확산의 원인은 크게 잡초측면과 제초제 측면으로 구분할 수 있다. 잡초측면에서는 종자생산량과 발아율이 높은 잡초들 즉 물달개비, 올챙이고랭이 등이 저항성잡초로 변화한다. 그리고 제초제 측면은 저항성잡초 유발의 원인인 선택성이 탁월하고 약효지속성이 매우 긴 SU계 제초제들의 광범위한 사용이다. SU계 제초제들의 생산 품목들과 처리 논 면적의 비율은 각각 69%와 96%이다. 그리고 2003년까지 처리면적으로 본 선호도 10위까지 제초제들은 대부분 SU계 제초제들이 혼합된 "일발처리제"들이다. 직파재배 논에서 ACCase 및 ALS들이 혼합된 제초제들의 연용은 제초제 저항성 피를 유발하였고, 이는 피에 효과적인 SU계 제초제들인 pyrazosulfuron-ethyl 및 imazosulfuron과 무관하지 않다. SU계 제초제들에 대한 물옥잠의 저항성 계통의 $I_{50}$은 감수성 계통에 비해서 14배에서 76배 높았는데, 이는 제초제의 흡수 및 이행에 의한 차이보다는 ALS 유전자의 점 돌연변이(point mutation)에 의한 것으로 나타났다. 즉 ALS 유전자 아미노산 197번째 proline이 serine로 변화되었기 때문이다. 제초제 저항성잡초 방제로 benzobicyclone, bromobutide 등은 광엽 및 방동사니과 잡초들을 동시에 방제가 가능하다. 그리고 ACCase 및 ALS 저항성 피의 방제는 mefenacet, fentrazamide, cafenstrole로 2엽기까지 방제가 가능하다. 그러나 앞으로 국내 논에서 제초제 저항성잡초 및 관리에 대해서는 많은 문제점들을 내포하고 있다. 첫째, 현재까지 제초제 저항성 유발 약제들인 ALS 및 ACCase 저해제들의 사용량이 증가하기 때문에 제초제 저항성 잡초들은 계속 발생할 뿐만 아니라 더욱 빠른 속도로 확산할 것이다. 둘째, 미국, 유럽, 호주 등 선진국들과 같은 제초제 저항성잡초를 연구할 수 있는 전문 연구기관과 인력이 부족하다.

To prepare for the complicated international relationship regarding Korean Peninsula after reunification, this thesis started off with the awareness that Unified Korea should build its international posture and national security at an early stage by determining its appropriate military strength for independent defense and military strategies that Unified Korea should aim. The main theme of this thesis is 'The research on appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military'. To derive appropriate military strength of Unified Korea, this research focuses on conflict scenario and relative balance strategy based on potential threats posed by neighboring countries, and this is the part that differentiates this research from other researches. First of all, the main objective of the research is to decide appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to secure defense sufficiency. For this, this research will decide efficient military strategy that Unified Korea should aim. Than by presuming the most possible military conflict scenario, this research will judge the most appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to overcome the dispute. Second, after deciding appropriate military strength, this research will suggest how to operate presumed military strength in each armed force. The result of this thesis is as in the following. First, Unified Korea should aim 'relative balance strategy'. 'Relative balance strategy' is a military strategy which Unified Korea can independently secure defense sufficiency by maintaining relative balance when conflicts occur between neighboring countries. This strategy deters conflicts in advance by relative balance of power in certain time and place. Even if conflict occurs inevitably, this strategy secures initiative. Second, when analyzing neighboring countries interest and strategic environment after unification, the possibility of all-out war will be low in the Korean Peninsula because no other nation wants the Korean Peninsula to be subordinated to one single country. Therefore appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military would be enough when Unified Korea can achieve relative balance in regional war or limited war. Third, Northeast Asia is a region where economic power and military strength is concentrated. Despite increasing mutual cooperation in the region, conflicts and competition to expand each countries influence is inherent. Japan is constantly enhancing their military strength as they aim for normal statehood. China is modernizing their military strength as they aspire to become global central nation. Russia is also enhancing their military strength in order to hold on to their past glory of Soviet Union as a world power. As a result, both in quality and quantity, the gap between military strength of Unified Korea and each neighboring countries is enlarged at an alarming rate. Especially in the field of air-sea power, arms race is occurring between each nation. Therefore Unified Korea should be equipped with appropriate military strength in order to achieve relative balance with each threats posed by neighboring countries. Fourth, the most possible conflicts between Unified Korea and neighboring countries could be summarized into four, which are Dokdo territorial dispute with Japan, Leodo jurisdictional dispute with China, territorial dispute concerning northern part of the Korea Peninsula with China and disputes regarding marine resources and sea routes with Russia. Based on those conflict scenarios, appropriate military strength for Unified Korea is as in the following. When conflict occurs with Japan regarding Dokdo, Japan is expected to put JMSDF Escort Flotilla 3, one out of four of its Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Escort Fleet, which is based in Maizuru and JMSDF Maizuru District. To counterbalance this military strength, Unified Korea needs one task fleet, comprised with three task flotilla. In case of jurisdictional conflict with China concerning Leodo, China is expected to dispatch its North Sea fleet, one out of three of its naval fleet, which is in charge of the Yellow Sea. To response to this military action, Unified Korea needs one task fleet, comprised with three task flotilla. In case of territorial dispute concerning northern part of the Korean Peninsula with China, it is estimated that out of seven Military Region troops, China will dispatch two Military Region troops, including three Army Groups from Shenyang Military Region, where it faces boarder with the Korean Peninsula. To handle with this military strength, Unified Korea needs six corps size ground force strength, including three corps of ground forces, two operational reserve corps(maneuver corps), and one strategic reserve corps(maneuver corps). When conflict occurs with Russia regarding marine resources and sea routes, Russia is expected to send a warfare group of a size that includes two destroyers, which is part of the Pacific Fleet. In order to balance this strength, Unified Korea naval power requires one warfare group including two destroyers. Fifth, management direction for the Unified Korean military is as in the following. Regarding the ground force management, it would be most efficient to deploy troops in the border area with china for regional and counter-amphibious defense. For the defense except the border line with china, the most efficient form of force management would be maintaining strategic reserve corps. The naval force should achieve relative balance with neighboring countries when there is maritime dispute and build 'task fleet' which can independently handle long-range maritime mission. Of the three 'task fleet', one task fleet should be deployed at Jeju base to prepare for Dokdo territorial dispute and Leodo jurisdictional dispute. Also in case of regional conflict with china, one task fleet should be positioned at Yellow Sea and for regional conflict with Japan and Russia, one task fleet should be deployed at East Sea. Realistically, Unified Korea cannot possess an air force equal to neither Japan nor China in quantity. Therefore, although Unified Korea's air force might be inferior in quantity, they should possess the systematic level which Japan or China has. For this Unified Korea should build air base in island areas like Jeju Island or Ullenong Island to increase combat radius. Also to block off infiltration of enemy attack plane, air force needs to build and manage air bases near coastal areas. For landing operation forces, Marine Corps should be managed in the size of two divisions. For island defense force, which is in charge of Jeju Island, Ulleung Island, Dokdo Island and five northwestern boarder island defenses, it should be in the size of one brigade. Also for standing international peace keeping operation, it requires one brigade. Therefore Marine Corps should be organized into three divisions. The result of the research yields a few policy implications when building appropriate military strength for Unified Korea. First, Unified Korea requires lower number of ground troops compared to that of current ROK(Republic of Korea) force. Second, air-sea forces should be drastically reinforced. Third, appropriate military strength of the Unified Korean military should be based on current ROK military system. Forth, building appropriate military strength for Unified Korea should start from today, not after reunification. Because of this, South Korea should build a military power that can simultaneously prepare for current North Korea's provocations and future threats from neighboring countries after reunification. The core of this research is to decide appropriate military strength for Unified Korea to realize relative balance that will ensure defense sufficiency from neighboring countries threats. In other words, this research should precisely be aware of threats posed by neighboring countries and decide minimum level of military strength that could realize relative balance in conflict situation. Moreover this research will show the path for building appropriate military strength in each armed force.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
