Myocardial ischemia is a disorder of cardiac function caused by insuficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. We can diagnose myocardial ischemia by observing the change of ST-segment, but this change is temporary. Our primary purpose is to detect the temporary change of the 57-segment automatically In the signal processing, the wavelet transform decomposes the ECG(electrocardiogram) signal into high and low frequency components using wavelet function. Recomposing the high frequency bands including QRS complex, we can detect QRS complex more easily. Amplitude comparison method is adopted to detect QRS complex. Reducing the effect of noise to the minimum, we grouped ECG by 5 data and compared the amplitude of maximum value. To recognize the ECG .signal pattern, we adopted the polynomial approximation partially and statistical method. The polynomial approximation makes possible to compare some ECG signal with different frequency and sampling period. The ECG signal is divided into small parts based on QRS complex, and then, each part is approximated to the polynomials. After removing the distorted ECG by calculating the difference between the orignal ECG and the approximated ECG for polynomial, we compared the approximated ECG pattern with the database, and we detected and classified abnormality of ECG.

The sound /w/ has been traditionally regarded as an independent segment in Korean regardless of the phonological contexts in which it occurs. There have been, however, some questions regarding whether it is an independent phoneme in /CwV/ context (cf. Kang 2006). The present pilot study examined how Korean /w/ is realized in $/S^*wV/$ context by performing some perception tests. Our assumption was that if Korean /w/ is a part of the preceding complex consonant like $/C^w/$, it should be more or less uniformly articulated and perceived as such. If /w/ is an independent segment, it will be realized with speaker variability. Experiments I and II examined the identification rates as "labialized" of the spliced original stimuli of $/S^*-V/$ and $/S^{w*}-^wV/$, and the cross-spliced stimuli $/S^{w*}-V/$ and $/S^*-^wV/$. The results showed that round qualities of /w/ are perceived at significantly different temporal point with speaker and context variability. We therefore conclude that /w/ in $/S^*wV/$ context is an independent segment, not a part of the preceding segment. Full-scale examination of the production test in the future should be performed to verify the conclusion we suggested in this paper.

XML 데이타를 대상으로 선형 질의나 가지모양 질의 같은 복잡한 질의가 많이 연구되고 있다. 이와 같은 질의를 처리하기 위해 XML 데이타를 구조정보에 의해 미리 인코딩한 후, 질의 처리시 구조정보를 이용하여 빠르게 질의를 수행하는 구조 조인 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 그 중 최근에 제안된 TwigStack 알고리즘과 TSGeneric 알고리즘은 각각 인덱스가 없는 환경과 있는 환경에서 수행시간이 입력 데이타의 양과 비례하는 최적의 성능을 보여주었다. 하지만 이들 알고리즘은 질의의 길이(질의에 나타난 엘리먼트 개수)에 비례하여 입력데이타의 양이 증가하고, 따라서 수행시간이 길어진다는 제한점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 구조 조인 알고리즘들에 구조 인덱스를 결함한 세그먼트 조인 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 질의 노드와 노드 간의 구조 조인과는 달리, 구조 인덱스를 이용하여 일련의 질의 노드들을 하나의 세그먼트로 식별한 후 세그먼트와 세그먼트 사이의 조인을 수행한다. 그 결과 세그먼트마다 하나의 질의 노드만을 읽음에 의해 질의를 처리할 수 있게 되어 수행성능이 향상된다. 다양한 데이타셋에 대해 인덱스가 없는 환경에서 실험 결과, 세그먼트 조인 기법을 적용한 SegmentTwig 알고리즘은 TwigStack 알고리즘보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.

We have recently found that a detergent-resistant raft like membrane (DRM) can be prepared from bovine rod outer segment membranes as a low-density buoyant fraction in sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. G protein (transducin) and its effector enzyme (phosphodiesterase: PDE) drastically change their affinities to DRM in the process of phototransduction. We report here that the recruitment of transducin and/or $^2$PDE to DRM has close relationship with their states in signal transduction. Active T$\alpha$/PDE-complex has a high affinity to DRM, whereas inactive transducin, or inactive PDE are excluded from DRM. Active T$\alpha$/PDE-complex seems to bind to a GTPase activating protein (GRS9) in multi- protein complexes localized on DRM. Physiological significance of the multi-protein complex on the raft-like membrane in vertebrate phototransduction would be discussed.

A semi analytical method is employed to analyze free vibration characteristics of uniform and stepped functionally graded circular cylindrical shells under complex boundary conditions. The analytical model is established based on multi-segment partitioning strategy and first-order shear deformation theory. The displacement functions are handled by unified Jacobi polynomials and Fourier series. In order to obtain continuous conditions and satisfy complex boundary conditions, the penalty method about spring technique is adopted. The solutions about free vibration behavior of functionally graded circular cylindrical shells were obtained by approach of Rayleigh-Ritz. To confirm the dependability and validity of present approach, numerical verifications and convergence studies are conducted on functionally graded cylindrical shells under various influencing factors such as boundaries, spring parameters et al. The present method apparently has rapid convergence ability and excellent stability, and the results of the paper are closely agreed with those obtained by FEM and published literatures.

Objective : To introduce the frequency and segment analysis of in-stent stenosis for intracranial stent assisted endovascular treatment on complex aneurysms. Methods : A retrospective study was performed in 158 patients who had intracranial complex aneurysms and were treated by endovascular stent application with or without coil embolization. Of these, 102 patients were evaluated with catheter based angiography after 6, 12, and 18 months. Aneurysm location, using stent, time to stenosis, stenosis rate and narrowing segment were analyzed. Results : Among follow-up cerebral angiography done in 102 patients, 8 patients (7.8%) were shown an in-stent stenosis. Two patients have unruptured aneurysm and six patients have ruptured one. Number of Neuroform stents were 7 cases (7.5%) and Enterprise stent in 1 case (11.1%). Six patients demonstrated in-stent stenosis at 6 months after stent application and remaining two patients were shown at 12 months, 18 months, respectively. Conclusion : In-stent stenosis can be confronted after intracranial stent deployment. In our study, no patient showed symptomatic stenosis and there were no patients who required to further treatment except continuing antiplatets medication. In-stent stenosis has been known to be very few when they are placed into the non-pathologic parent artery during the complex aneurysm treatment, but the authors found that it was apt to happen on follow up angiography. Although the related symptom was not seen in our cases, the luminal narrowing at the stented area may result the untoward hemodynamic event in the specific condition.

국소마취제가 mitochondria에서의 전자이동 및 superoxide라디칼의 생성 그리고 지질의 과산화에 따른 malondialdehyde생성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 국소마취제는 전자이동계 의 효소활성도에 영향을 나타내었다. NADH dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase와 NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase의 활성도는 lidocaine, procaine과 dibucaine에 의하여 효과적으로 억제되었고 cocaine에 의하여 약간 억제되었다. Succinate dehydrogenase, succinate cytochrome c oxidoreductase와 succinate-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 활성도는 lidocaine 과 dibucaine에 의하여 억제되었으나 succinate oxidase는 국소마취제에 의하여 활성화되었다. 국소마취제는 dihydroubiquinone-cytochrome c oxidoreducatse와 cytochrome c oxidase의 활성도를 억제하였다. 이와 같은 반응에서 국소마취제에 대한 complex I segment의 반응이 다른 complex segment보다 크게 나타났다. 국소마취제는 succinate 또는 NADH에 의한 superoxide 생성과 이에 대한 antimycin의 자극효과를 억제하였다. 또한 국소마취제는 산소라디칼에 의한 지질의 과산화를 억제하였다. 이상의 결과로부터 국소마취제는 mitochondria의 전자전달 과정 중 Complex I segment때 또는 인접한 부위에 작용하여 전자이동을 억제함으로써 superoxide 생성과 지질의 과산화를 억제할 것으로 시사되었다.

Analyzing the ECG signal, we can find heart disease. Myocardial ischemia is a disorder of cardiac function caused by insufficient blood flow to the muscle tissue of the heart. Myocardial ischemia is inscribed on ST-segment of the ECG during and after patient takes exercise or is under stress, but after long time past, the ECG pattern is return to steady state. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and analyze the ECG signal continuously for patient or aged people. Our primary purpose is the detection of temporary change of the ST-segment of ECG automatically. In the signal processing, the wavelet transform decomposes the ECG signal into high and low frequency components using wavelet function. Recomposing the high frequency bands including QRS complex, we can detect QRS complex more easily ...

The ST-segment that the beginning part of T wave is the important diagnostic parameter to finding myocardial ischemia. Abnormal ST appears in two types. One is the level change, and the other is the pattern change. In this paper, we describe the monitoring of abnormal ST using PC based system. Hardware of this system consists of transmitter, receiver and PC. The function of transmitter is measuring ECG in three channels which are selected manually and transmitting the data to receiver by digital radio way. Connection with receiver and PC is by RS232C, and the data received on the PC is analyzed automatically by ECG analysis algorithm and saved to file. In the algorithm part for detecting abnormal ST, ST-segments are approximated by a polynomial. This method can detect all of the deviation and pattern change of ST-segment regardless the change in the heart rate or sampling rate. To gain algorithm reliability, the method rejects distorted polynomial approximation by calculation the difference between the approximated ST-segment and original ST-segment. In pre-signal processing, the wavelet transformation separates high frequency bands including QRS complex from the original ECG. Consequently, the process improves the performance of detecting each feature points.

Cardiac arrhythmias are common heart diseases and generally cause sudden cardiac death. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an effective tool that can reveal the electrical activity of the heart and diagnose cardiac arrhythmias. We propose detection of P waves based on QRST cancellation zero-one substitution. After preprocessing, the QRST segment is determined by detecting the Q wave start point and T wave end point separately. The Q wave start point is detected by digital analyses of the QRS complex width, and the T wave end point is detected by computation of an indicator related to the area covered by the T wave curve. Then, we determine whether the sampled value of the signal is in the interval of the QRST segment and substitute zero or one for the value to cancel the QRST segment. Finally, the maximum amplitude is selected as the peak of the P wave in each RR interval of the residual signal. The average detection rate for the QT database was 97.67%.
