  • 본 연구는 톱밥이 수분조절재로 혼합된 돈분 퇴비화 시 공기 흡입 강도의 효과를 조사하기 위해 실시하였다. 25 L 규모의 퇴비화 반응기에 일정하게 주입되는 공기 주입량을 기준으로 공기 흡입량을 4 단계 (100%, 200%, 300%, 400%)로 구분하여 실험을 수행하였다. 모든 반응기의 온도가 퇴비화 개시 후 2일 이내에 호열성 단계에 도달하였으며 퇴비화 5일 까지 이를 유지하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이후 반응기의 온도는 점차 감소하여 퇴비화 실험이 끝날 무렵에는 외기와 비슷한 온도를 나타냈다. 초기 혼합원료의 수분함량은 64.27% 로 측정되었으며, 점차 감소하여 100%에서 38.4, 200%에서 33.08%, 300%에서 14.59% 그리고 400%에서 11.93로 나타났다. 퇴비화 기간 동안, pH는 6.83에서 8.67로 증가하였다가 점점 감소하여 100%, 200%에서 7.56, 300%에서 8.19, 400%에서 8.08로 관찰되었으며, 이는 100%와 200%의 공기 흡입강도가 타 처리구보다 퇴비화에 적합한 흡입조건인 것으로 사료된다. 퇴비화 초기 혼합 원료의 총 켈달질소 (TKN)는 2.3%로 측정되었으나, 점차 변화하여 퇴비화 종료 시점에 100%는 3.3%, 200%는 3.1%, 300%는 2.5%, 400%는 2.3%로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 100%, 200% 처리구가 타 처리구에 비해 $CO_2$ 발생 및 수증기 휘발로 인한 중량손실이 높기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 퇴비화 초기 혼합원료의 C/N비는 25.17로 측정되었으며 급격히 감소하여 퇴비화 종료 시점에는 100%에서 11.88 200%에서 11.97, 300%에서 14.31, 400%에서 14.72로 조사되었으나 처리구 간 큰 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 이상의 연구 결과 양질 퇴비화를 위한 공기 주입량 대비 최적 공기 흡입 강도는 100%와 200% 처리구인 것으로 조사되었다.

  • 최근, 전기차 증가에 따른 리튬 전지의 사용량 증가로 리튬 가격 증가 및 폐리튬전지 발생량이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 이유로 폐리튬전지 내 리튬 회수에 대한 연구가 진행되고있다. 본 연구에서는 폐전기차 셀분말의 열처리 조건에 따른 선택적 리튬 침출에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 셀 분말(LiNixCoyMnzO2, LiCoO2)로부터 선택적 리튬 침출을 위해서는 환원을 통한 상변화 및 분리가 필요하다. 폐전기차 셀분말 내 탄소는 고온에서 산소와 반응하여 환원제 역할을 한다. 적정 온도를 알고자 대기/질소 분위기에서 TG-DSC 분석 및 550 ~ 850 ℃ 열처리 후, XRD 분석을 하였다. 열처리 된 분말은 ICP 분석을 위해 D.I water에서 1:10 비율로 침출 후 분석하였다. XRD 분석결과, 700 ℃에서 Li2CO3 피크가 확인되었다. 850 ℃ 열처리 시 Li2O의 피크가 확인되었는데, 이는 Li2CO3가 723 ℃ 이상의 온도에서 Li2O와 CO2로 분해되었기 때문이다. 또한 Li2O와 Al2O3와 반응으로 LiAlO2가 확인되었다. 850 ℃에서 열처리 시 Li 침출율이 낮아졌는데 이는 LiAlO2가 D.I water에서 침출하지 않기 때문으로 판단된다. 리튬 침출율의 경우 열처리의 조건에 따라 달라지며, 질소 분위기 중 700 ℃로 열처리 시 약 45 %의 리튬침출이 확인되었다. 침출 용액을 고-액분리 후증발농축하여 XRD 분석을 실시한 결과, Li2CO3의 피크를 확인하였다.

  • 소수성 토양이란 물방울이 떨어져도 자연스럽게 젖지 못하고 표면 위에 그대로 존재하는 토양을 말한다. 소수성 토양은 토양입자들 사이 혹은 토양입자와 그 중간물질의 사이에 소수성 유기물질이 침투하여 입자를 코팅하여 소수성을 띠게 되는 것이다. 토양이 소수성화가 되면 심한 침식과 침출, 농약의 급속한 침출, 식물이 이용할 수 있는 많은 양의 물과 영양분의 손실 그리고 농작물과 목초의 생산성 감소 등을 야기한다. 본 실험에서는 미량원소가 어떤 흡착과 이동 메커니즘을 갖는지를 배치 실험과 컬럼 실험을 통해 비교 평가하였다. 배치 실험에서는 $Cu^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$$Mo^{5+}$를 이용하여 일반 토양과 소수성 토양의 수착의 차이, 소수성 정도에 따른 차이, 각각의 미량원소 별 차이를 비교 하였고, 컬럼 실험에서는 피흡착물질인 미량원소 $Fe^{2+}$$Mo^{5+}$에 대한 탈착성능 비교와, 특정시간에 따른 공간적 농도 분포를 측정하였다. $Fe^{2+}$$Mo^{5+}$의 경우 비소수성 토양보다 소수성 토양에서 더 높은 흡착을 나타났다. $Fe^{2+}$의 흡착성능은 소수성 토양별 40% > 15% > 0% 순으로 나타났다. 특히 $Mo^{5+}$의 경우 0%, 15% 및 40%의 소수성 토양에서 초기에는 비슷한 경향을 보였으나 시간이 지나면서 소수성 토양에서 비소수성 토양보다 빠른 탈착속도를 보였다. $Fe^{2+}$$Mo^{5+}$의 파과곡선 분석결과 소수성 토양에서 더 빠른 이동속도를 나타내었다.

  • 고준위방사성폐기물의 처분터널 및 처분공 간격을 결정하고 처분시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 열-수리-역학적인 복합 거동 변화에 대한 이해가 반드시 필요하고 이를 반영하여 해석해야만 한다. 하지만 한국형 기준 처분시스템에서의 처분터널 및 처분공 간격을 결정하기 위해 수행된 기존의 연구들은 이러한 복합거동 특성을 반영하지 않고 열 해석 결과만을 근거로 처분시스템을 설계하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열-수리-역학적인 복합거동 특성을 반영하여 한국형 기준 처분시스템의 성능을 TOUGH2-MP/FLAC3D를 이용하여 평가하였다. 고준위방사성폐기물이 처분된 이후 방사성 붕괴열에 의해 처분시스템의 온도는 급격히 증가하다가 붕괴열의 감소로 온도는 서서히 감소하였으며, 해석 기간 1,000년 동안 벤토나이트 완충재의 최고 온도는 설계 기준인 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하로 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 처분용기와 벤토나이트 완충재의 계면에서의 최고 온도는 약 3.21년이 지난 시점에 용기의 중간 지점에서 약 $96.2^{\circ}C$로 나타났으며, 암반에서의 최고 온도는 폐쇄 후 약 17년이 지난 시점에서 약 $68.2^{\circ}C$로 계산되었다. 처분용기 부근 벤토나이트 완충재는 처분 초기에 온도 변화에 따른 건조현상이 발생하여 포화도가 감소하지만, 시간이 지남에 따라 주변 암반으로부터의 지하수 유입에 의해 포화도가 증가하는 것으로 계산되었다. 이후, 벤토나이트 완충재 및 뒷채움재 모두 약 266년 이후 완전히 포화되는 것으로 계산되었다. 처분시스템에서의 온도 변화에 따른 열응력 그리고 벤토나이트 완충재 및 뒷채움재의 팽윤압으로 인한 응력 변화가 처분장 주변 암반에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 수치해석에서 계산된 응력을 스폴링 강도(spalling strength)와 Mohr-coulomb 파괴 기준식과 비교하였다. 계산 결과 일축압축강도와 스폴링 강도에 도달하지 않는 것으로 나타나 처분시스템이 스폴링에 의한 파괴는 나타나지 않을 것으로 판단되며, Mohr-coulomb 파괴 기준 역시 충족하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수치해석 코드와 방법론은 다양한 조건에서의 한국형 기준 처분시스템에 대한 성능평가뿐만 아니라, 복층 처분시스템에 대한 설계와 성능평가에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 미국 해양대기청의 CCM3 기후모델을 이용하여 마지막최대빙하기 (Last Glacial Maximum (LGM))의 동아시아기후변화를 시뮬레이션 하였다. 이용된 수치모델의 수평해상도는 약 75km로 동아시아의 비교적 상세한 지형 및 기후 기작들이 표현된다. 현재 기후는 미국 해양대기청 에서 제공한 월평균 표층해수가 경계조건으로 이용되었으며, LGM 실험은 CLIMAP 프로젝트에서 복원된 표층해수가 경계조건으로 이용되었다. 또한 LGM실험에서는 현재 의 이산화탄소농도(330 ppm) 보다 낮았던 대기 이산화탄소농도 (200 ppm)가 적용되었고, 대륙빙하를 포함한 LGM 지표지형이 표현되었다. LGM 경계조건하에서 한국 서해와 동해의 대륙사면에서는 표층 온도가 겨울철에 약 18도 정도 현재보다 낮게 나타나며, 여름철에는 약 2도 정도 높게 나타나는데, 이와 같은 온도 변화는 한국 서해가 빙하기때 해수면 하강에 따라 지표로 드러남으로서 표층 열용량의 차이가 나타나기 때문이다. 전체적으로 마지막최대빙하기에 동아시아 내륙에서는 표층온도가 약 4-6도 감소하며, 주변해역을 포함하여 약 7.1도 하강하는 것으로 시뮬레이션 되는데, 이와 같은 온도감소는 이산화탄소농도 감소에 따른 장파복사량의 증가에 기인한다. 표층의 온도감소는 물수지의 약화를 초래하는데, 겨울철 아시아의 남동부에서 강수량이 약 1-4 mm/day 감소하며, 여름철에는 중국에서의 감수감소가 나타난다. 대체로 마지막최대 빙하기동안 동북아시아에서 현재보다 약 50%정도 감수가 감소하는 것으로 시뮬레이션 된다. 증발량도 감소하는 것으로 나타나지만, 강수의 감소가 더 커서 지난빙하기동안 동아시아는 대체로 건조한 기후가 나타나며, 이와 같은 결과는 다른 지역에서 보이고 있는 결과와 잘 일치한다. 결론적으로 고해상도 수치모델은 전 지구 영역 하에서 동아시아의 기후변화를 잘 시뮬레이션 하고 있다.mu}M$에서 $9.1{\mu}M$까지, 알테미아 경우 $16.13{\mu}M$에서 $45.8{\mu}M$까지, 그리고 배합 사료 공급시에는 $36.5{\mu}M$에서 $120.1{\mu}M$까지 상승하였다. 일간 수질 변화에 따른 용존 무기 질소(로티퍼; 7.0 g/일, 알테미아; 24.7 g/일, 배합 사료; 140.9 g/일)와 인(로티퍼; 0.7 g/일, 알테미아; 0.7 g/일, 배합 사료; 2.2 g/일) 배출량은 배합 사료 공급 시기에 유의적으로 높았다(P<0.05). 이와 같은 결과는 상업적 볼락 대량 종묘 시설에서 사육 시스템 내 수질 및 사육 관리를 위한 중요한 정보를 제공할 것이다.였다. 2종의 박하 추출물 투여군들 사이에는 혈청 GPT 활성에 대한 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 7.과산화물질 (TBARS)의 함량은 정상군에 비해 음성대조군에서 약간의 함량 증가가 관찰되었으나 유의적인 수준은 아니었으며 대부분의 박하 추출물 투여군과 Silymarin 투여군에서 과산화지질이 비슷한 수준으로 증가하여 박하는 알콜에 의한 과간화지질생성에 대한 저해효과가 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. 8. 상대간장중량은 각 실험군별로 상대간장중량에서의 차이는 다소 있었으나 유의성은 없었다.mg/ml로 한 EtOAc 분획물은 26의 돌연변이 유발성을 보였다. 이상의 결과로 부터 뽕나무를 이용한 식용 제품생산을 고려할 때 추출물들의 제조와 선택을 가름하는 자료로서의 활용이 기대되며 앞으로 in vivo test 등 더욱 연구할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.0^{-4}\;pg/cell$로 60 kHz로 병행 추출한 복분자 water 분획층의 $19.5{\times}10^{-4}\;pg/cell$보다 높은 분비량을 나타내었다.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 본연구(本硏究)에서는 연구(硏究)의 대상(對象)을 저습답(低濕畓)에 두기보다는 지하수위(地下水位)가 낮은 점질토(粘質土)의 건답(乾畓)에 두고 이 점질토(粘質土)논에 대(對)한 수잉전(移秧前)의 처리(處理)에 있어서 심경(深耕)을 한 것 답면(畓面)을 건조(乾燥)시켜 구열발달(龜裂發達)을 기(期)하게한 것 및 암거(暗渠)가 설치(設置)된 곳에서의 답면(畓面)을 건조(乾燥)시켜 구열발달(龜裂發達)을 기(期)하게 한 것 중에서 어떤 처리방법(處理方法)을 적용(適用)한 것이 뿌리신장(伸長)이 심층화(深層化)되여 벼의 수량(收量)을 높일 수 있고 동시(同時)에 지하배수기능(地下排水機能)이 제대로 발휘(發揮)되여 수확작업(收穫作業)에 대형기계(大型機械)를 도입(導入)하였을 때 농업기계(農業機械)의 주행성면(走行性面)에서 유리(有利)한가를 발견(發見)코저 한 것이다. 그래서 시험구처리(試驗區處理)에 있어서는 (1)이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 경운(耕耘)하여 풍건(風乾)시킨 것(경운구(區)) (2) 이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 경운(耕耘)하여 물로 포화(飽和)시켜 쓰린후(後) 구열(龜裂)을 발생(發生)시켜 이앙(移秧) 2일전(日前)에 15cm 깊이로 경운(耕耘)한 것(균열구(區)) (3) 이앙(移秧) 39일전(日前)에 암거설치(暗渠設置)와 동시(同時)에 경운(耕耘)하여 물로 포화(飽和)시켜 쓰린후(後) 구열(龜裂)을 발생(發生)시켜 이앙(移秧) 2일전(日前)에 15cm 깊이로 경운(耕耘)한 것(균암구(區))의 3요인(要因)에 15cm. 25cm, 35cm 깊이의 3수준(水準)으로 하고 15cm 깊이 경운구(區)를 Control구(區)로 정(定)하였는데 이에 의(依)하여 얻은 시험결과(試驗結果)는 대략(大略) 다음과 같이 요약(要約)될 수 있다. 1. 소비수량(消費數量)은 균암구(區)에 있어서는 경운구(區) 및 균열구(區)보다도 소비수량(消費水量)을 나타냈다. 따라서 유효우량은 균암구(區)에서 가장 크고 경운구(區), 균열구(區)의 순(順)으로 작은값을 나타냈고 순용수량(純用水量)에 있어서는 여전(如前)히 균암구(區), 경운구(區), 균열구(區)의 순(順)으로 작어저 균암구(區)가 가장 큰 양(量)을 나타냈다. 심도(深度)에 불구(不拘)하고 순용수량(純用水量)의 크기는 균암구(區)에서 105cm 내외(內外), 경운구(區)에서 70cm 내외(內外), 균열구(區)에서는 45cm 내외(內外)를 나타냈다. 2. 뿌리중량(重量)이 구열최대심도(龜裂最大深度)에 예민(銳敏)하게 영향(影響)을 받고 있는 경향(傾向)으로 미루어 볼 때 뿌리 발달(發達)은 답면상(畓面上)의 구열(龜裂)에 의(依)하기 보다는 구열심도(龜裂深度)에 더 큰 영향(影響)을 받는 것으로 되어 있다. 따라서 깊은구(區)일수록 뿌리중량(重量)은 커지는 경향(傾向)을 가졌고 처리간(處理間)에는 균열구(區), 균암구(區), 경운구(區) 순(順)으로 증대(增大)하는 경향(傾向)을 가졌다. 3. 초장(草丈)의 신장(伸長)에 있어서는 어느구(區)를 막론(莫論)하고 생육초기(生育初期)(분얼최성기(分얼最盛期))에는 별(別)로 차이(差異)를 발견(發見)할 수 없으나 생육중기(生育中期)(분얼종료기(分얼終了期)부터 유수형성기(幼穗形成期) 사이에서는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 그 성장(成長)이 떨어지고 생육후기(生育後期)(수잉기)(穗잉期)에 접어들면서 부터는 도리여 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)가 얕은구(區)보다 더 왕성(旺盛)한 신장(伸長)을 하였다. 이것은 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로 볼 때 생육중기(生育中期) 이후(以後) 균열구(區)는 어느 다른 구(區)보다 떨어지고 균암구(區)와 경운구(區) 간(間)에는 별차이(別差異)는 없으나 균암구(區)가 여간(與干) 초장신장(草丈伸長)이 우세(優勢)한 경향(傾向)을 나타냈다. 4. 경수(數)에 있어서는 전생육기간(全生育期間)을 통(通)하여 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 그 수(數)가 적어지는 경향(傾向)을 나타냈고 이것을 시험처별(試驗處別)로 볼 때 균열구(區)는 늘 균암구(區)와 경운구(區)보다 떨어졌으며 또 경운구(區)는 균암구(區)보다 약간(若干) 우세(優勢)한 경향(傾向)을 나타냈다. 5. 수량(收量)(조곡중)(租穀重))에 있어서는 시험처리별(試驗處理別) 각(各) 시험구(試驗區)의 수량(收量)을 Control 구(區) 15-경운구(區)와 대비(對比)할 때 35-경운구(區)에 있어서는 17%, 35-암거구(區)에 있어서는 10% 기타구(其他區)에 있어서는 모두 Control구(區)와 같거나 떨어졌다. 그리고 전체적(全體的)으로 볼 때 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 수량(收量)은 증가(增加)하였고 경운구(龜)는 균암구(區)보다, 균암구(區)는 균열구(區)보다 수량(收量)이 높았으며 심도구(深度區)에는 1%의 유의성시험처리(有意性試驗處理)에는 5%의 유의성(有意性)이 존재(存在)하였다. 6. 조곡중(粗穀重)에 더 많은 영향(影響)을 주는 감수심(減水深)은 후기감수심(後期減水深)이며 15cm 구(區)에서는 2.7cm/day 이내(以內)에서 25cm 구(區)에서는 3.0cm/day 이내(以內)에서 35cm 구(區)에서는 3.3cm/day이내(以內)의 범위(範圍)에서 감수심(減水深)이 증대(增大)하면 조곡중(粗穀重) 증대(增大)하였고 동시(同時)에 동일감수심(同一減水深)에서는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區) 일수록 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하였다. 따라서 동일감수심도(同一減水深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 수량면(收量面)에서 유리(有利)함을 암시(暗示)하고 있다. 7. 뿌리중량(重量)에서 비례(比例)하여 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하였으며 벼뿌리중량(重量)이 동일(同一)할때는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 조곡중(粗穀重)은 증대(增大)하는 경향(傾向)을 보여주고 있다. 또 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로 볼 때는 벼뿌리 중량(重量)은 균열구(區), 균암구(區), 경운구(區)의 순(順)으로 컸고 따라서 조곡중(粗穀重)도 역시(亦是) 같은 순(順)으로 컸다. 그리고 조곡중(粗穀重)은 중간낙수기간(中間落水期間)의 최소함수비(最少含水比)와 그때의 평균지온(平均地溫)에 관계(關係)되나 함수비(含水比)가 40%이하(以下)에서는 평균지온(平均地溫)은 함수비(含水比)에 비례(比例)하여 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)이 있음으로 주(主)로 최소함수비(最小含水比)에 영향(影響)을 받는바가 크다. 8. 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)는 심도(深度)가 얕은구(區)일수록 커지는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 또 벼뿌리중량(重量)에 역지수함수적(逆指數函數的)으로 증대(增大)하였다. 또 같은 심도(深度)의 구(區)에서는 15cm 구(區)를 제외(除外)하고는 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)는 감수심(減水深)에 비례(比例)하여 증대(增大)하였다. 감수심(減水深)이 어느 한도(限度)까지 증대(增大)됨에 따라 조곡중(租穀重)이 증대(增大)하지만 동시(同時)에 짚조곡중비(粗穀重比)도 증대(增大)함을 보여주고 있다. 9. 동일토성(同一土性)에서 구열량(龜裂量)은 기상조건(氣象條件) 특(特)히 증발량(蒸發量)의 증대(增大)에 따라 증대(增大)하며 답면건조도중(畓面乾燥途中)에 강우(降雨)가 있으면 답면구열량(畓面龜裂量)은 현저(顯著)히 감소(減小)한다. 점질토(粘質土)의 구열량(龜裂量)은 대체(大體)로 함수비(含水比)가 25% 이상(以上)에서는 함량비(含量比)에 역지수적(逆指數的)으로 증가(增加)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 구열(龜裂)의 최대(最大) 심도(深度)는 31% 이하(以下)의 함수비(含水比)에서는 일정(一定)한 값을 유지(維持)하는 경향(傾向)이있다. 10. Cone 지수(指數)는 어느 한도(限度)까지는 구열량(龜裂量)에 비례(比例)하는 경향(傾向)이있으나 구열량(龜裂量)이 어느 한도(限度)를 넘으면 약간(若干) 구열량(龜裂量)에 역비례(逆比例)하는 경향(傾向)을 보여주고 있다. 그 한도(限度)의 함수비(含水比)는 25% 근처가 될 것이다. 11. 최종낙수후 (最終落水後)의 Cone 지수(指數)의 경시적(經時的) 증대(增大)는 생육후기(生育後期)의 감수심(減水深)에 비례(比例)하는 경향(傾向)을 보였고 동일감수심(同一減水深)에서 균암구(區)는 다른 두 구(區)보다 큰Cone지수(指數)를 나타냈고 경운구(區)는 심도(深度)가 깊은구(區)일수록 균열구(區)보다 작은 Cone 지수(指數)를 나타냈는데 특(特)히 35-경운구(區) Cone의 지수(指數)는 현저(顯著)하게 작은 값을 나타냈다. 12. 최종낙수후(最終落水後)의 답면건조(畓面乾燥)에 있어서는 함수비(含水比)의 감소상황(減少狀況) 및 Cone 지수(指數)의 증대상황(增大狀況)에 비추어 볼 때 시험처리별(試驗處理別)로는 균암구(區)가 다른 두 구(區)보다 밟르고 경운구(區)는 가장 늦어지고 심도(深度)가 깊은 구(區)에서는 더욱 늦어지고 있다. 농업기계(農業 機械)의 주행(走行)에 지장(支障)을 가져오지 않을 정도(程度)의 Cone 지수(指數)($2.5kg/cm^2$)로 답면건조(畓面乾燥)를 시키자면 최종낙수시기(最終落水時期)를 잡는 시기(時期) 및 낙수기간(落水期間)동안의 강우(降雨)의 유무(有無)에 따라 다르게지만 강우(降雨)가 전혀 없다면 누계계기증발량(累計計器蒸發量)을 기준(基準)으로 잡을 때 균암구(區)에서는 누계계기증발량(累計計器蒸發量)으로 약(約) 44mm가 필요(必要)하고 기타구(其他區)에서는 50mm 이상(以上)이 필요(必要)하게 됨으로 균암구(區)에서의 답면건조진행(畓面乾燥進行)은 대체(大體)로 경운구(區), 균열구(區)보다 2일이상(日以上)이 빠르며 35-경운구(區)와 비교(比較)하면 5일(日) 이상(以上)이나 빠르게 될 것이다.
