In this paper, we proposed a downscaled 3D object technique using medical images for telediagnostic use. The proposed system consisted of downscaling/thresholding processes for building a downscaled 3D object and a process for obtaining 2D images at specific angles for diagnosis support. We used 80 slices of Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine(DICOM) CT images as sample images and the platform-independent Java language for the experiment. We confirmed that the total image set size and transmission time of the original DICOM image set using a down-scaled 3D object decreased approximately $99\%\;and\;98.41\%,$ respectively. With additional studies, the proposed technique obtained from these results will become useful in supporting diagnosis for home and hospital care.

In order to use for artificial dental tooth (dental crowens) , new glass-ceramics material has been studied. Its basic composition and the condition of heat treatment for crystalization, mechanical and chemical properties were investigated. Adding of the LAS system composition in the basic glass, time and temperature for crystalization were shortened. Fracture toughness (kic)of samples heat treated at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours is 2.5-2.6MN/m3/2, the optimum condition of heat treatment for artificial tooth is A and B samples heating to 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours, raising to 90$0^{\circ}C$ and maintaining at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and C sample heating to 75$0^{\circ}C$ maintaining at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. In acid and'alkali solution, chemical durability is excellent.

In this paper, a method of the measument the degree of the musule fatigue by Short Time Fourier Analysis of the EMG signals from human biceps in the action state is proposed. For this purpose, fatigue state and recovery state of 10 persons EMG signals are sampled. And then spectrum centroids are analyzed with respect to the change of sample time window. As result of 10 persons experiment, we know that person A is most good recovery stale.

The proposed tracking algorithm approaches geometrical method or position, direction, width of vessel. This algorithm using continuity of vessel in spatial coordinates used to determine direction of the center point, after estimating boundary point in dynamic region. Therefore the tracking of vessel's contour is tracked contour as direction of entire contour in coronary artery. This algorithm is automatically processed by DIP as a compared with conventional method, because searching area varies adaptively to allocate searching region from extracted information at past. And ML estimation expressed robust method or angiography as evaluating sample values after preprocessing.

The purpose of this study is the development of PBL(problem-based learning) system using visual C++5.0 as a window-based application program. A patient who complains of weight loss was used in PBL case. Initial frame is made by dialog-based in MFC(microsoft foundation class). Also, sample medical images are composed of ultra-sound, chest PA, Thyroid scan, otherwise. we will make this program as CD-ROM and the internet application or computer assisted learning and continuous medical education.

A thinning algorithm -based image analysis technique was developed to measure corn root lengths. The root length measurement method was evaluated by comparing thread lengths measured by the image analysis system with actual thread lengths. The length measurement method accurately estimated actual thread lengths (less than 2% calculated error). Also, a rapid root length density measurement procedure, which utilizes the above root length measurement method, was developed to estimate corn root length density without washing the roots. Root length densities estimated from the cut soil surface of core samples taken from the field were paired with the root length densities determined from washed roots from the same soil core sample. A linear relationship between these two values was expected and was found. Eliminating the root washing procedure reduces the time required for measuring corn root length density substantially.

This investigation was carried out to find out the biological contamination, nitrogen compounds, physical and chemical test in fermented sea fishes. 60 species sample were collected from farm village, fishing village and free markets, its hygienical test period is taken about two years. The examined results obtained are as in bollow. 1. $hNO_3,\;HNO_2,\;NH_3-N$ was detected whole samples. 2. Some fermented sea fishes was showed under the exhortation quality. 3. Nitrogen compound really produce N-Nitrosoamine. 4. The amine compounds are caused of cancer and malignant disease. 5. All container, storaged method, processing method and delivery method are must be improve. 6. It is neccessary to do instruction for fermented sea fishes really meaning and attain to a fixed standardization.

Brine shrimp lethality test has become one of our routine tools in selecting plant materials for further chemical or bioactivity studies in our laboratory. Usually, once a potentially bioactive sample has been identified, it will then be subjected to more elaborate bioassay procedures. Out of more than 200 plant samples tested we found eight samples to be toxic towards brine shrimp larvae.

Flow injection analysis technique for monitoring of xylitol concentrations in biological processes has been developed using xylitol oxidase (XYO) immobilized on VA-Epoxy Biosynth carrier. The immobilized XYO cartridge has been integrated into a FIA system with an oxygen electrode and systematically investigated with regards to the factors which can affect the activity of the immobilized XYO, such as pH, temperature, salt concentration etc. The activity of the immobilized XYO increased with the temperature ($19.0 - 29.0^{circ}C$) and sample injection volume ($75-250\muL$) and molarity of potassium phosphate buffer (0.1-1 M), but it reached the highest value at pH 8.5. The XYO-FIA system has been also applied for on-line monitoring of xylitol concentrations in a reactor and showed good operational stability and agreement with off-line data measured with HPLC.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is perceived as an attractive tool for the analysis of pharmaceuticals and biological materials because of their high separation efficiency, easy separation and low running cost. New concept of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) expanded the application of CE to the separation of neutral molecules. Validation of CE as an analytical technique for quality control of pharmaceuticals should be confirmed by quantitative analysis and the peak confirmation. In this study, the quantitative analyses of various types of neutral, acidic and basic components (acetaminophen, caffeine, ascorbic acid, riboflavin, thiamine, chlorpheniramine, phenylpropanolamine, dl-methylephedrine and dextromethorphan) in complex cold medicines have been accomplished using CE. Combined methods of MECC using SDS and capillary zone electrophoresis lowering the pH of running buffer were adopted to determine the ingredients in capsule type or liquid formula complex medicines without particular sample pretreatment. The results indicate that CE is a promising technique for quality control analysis of pharmaceuticals as a validation method.
