국내에서는 바닷가 주변의 상가나 수협 등의 활어 위판장 등에 많은 양의 해수가 사용되고 있다. 이러한 해수는 기상악화나 태풍 등에 의해 관련시설이 수시로 파손되고 조기 폐색되어 시간적, 경제적 비용이 많이 소요되고 있는 실정이다. 또한 오염된 해수가 그대로 유입되는 경우가 많아 환경적인 문제를 야기하기도 한다. 본 연구는 직접적인 해수취수의 대안으로 이중필터취수정을 적용한 해변여과 방식의 해수취수 적용성을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 토층으로 이루어진 해변의 자유면대수층에서 필터조건을 달리하여 실규모의 이중필터취수정과 단일필터취수정을 각각 설치하고 설치된 우물에서 단계 및 연속대수성시험을 실시하여 필터재 조건에 따른 투수특성 및 적정양수량을 평가하였다. 단계대수성시험 분석결과 이중필터 취수정에서 우물 개량의 정도가 양호하여 단일필터 대비 110.3%의 투수계수 상승효과가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 동일 양수량 대비 이중필터의 투수계수가 높게 나타나며, 이는 이중필터가 단일필터에 비해 투수성이 개선된 영향으로 판단된다. 연속대수성시험 분석결과 관측정 및 양수정을 이용한 투수계수 분석에서 이중필터취수정(SD1200)이 단일필터취수정(SS800)에 비해 높은 투수특성을 나타내는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이중필터가 단일필터 대비 평균 110.7%의 투수계수 상승효과가 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 수위강하량 분석을 통한 양수량 평가결과, 수위강하 2.0 m일 때 이중필터 취수정이 단일필터 취수정 대비 122.8% 양수량이 증대되는 것으로 분석되었으며, 비수위강하량을 이용하여 적정양수량을 산정한 결과 이중필터취수정이 단일필터취수정에 비해 136.0% 높은 양수량을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 변곡점을 이용한 양수량 평가결과 이중필터가 단일필터에 비해 160.0% 높은 적정양수량을 보이는 것으로 분석되었다. 적정양수량의 경우 분석방법에 따라 단일필터 대비 122.8~160.0%의 개선효과가 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 이를 평균한 단일필터 대비 이중필터의 양수량 개선율은 139.6%이다. 즉, 이중필터 설치만으로 일반적인 우물 대비 취수효율이 40% 정도 개선될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 변곡점을 이용한 이중필터취수정의 적정양수량은 2843.3 L/min로써 이중필터취수정 단일공의 일 해수취수량은 약 $4,100m^3/day$ (${\fallingdotseq}4094.3m^3/day$)에 달하는 것으로 평가되었다. 이와 같이 공당 다량의 취수가 가능하기 때문에 해수취수의 적용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다. 또한 이중필터취수정을 이용하여 해수취수를 수행하는 경우 기존에 문제시되었던 기상악화나 태풍 등에 의한 파손우려를 해소할 수 있으며, 해변의 모래층이 필터재 역할을 하여 오염정도를 개선하는 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다. 따라서, 기존 해수취수기술에 대한 환경적인 문제 해결의 대안이 될 수 있고, 설치비용 및 파손등과 관련된 장기적인 유지관리비용 면에서도 유리하여 경제적 측면에서 그 적용성이 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 수행예정인 이중필터취수정의 강변여과수 적용을 위한 현장실증시험의 기초자료로 활용될 예정이며, 그 결과를 종합하여 강변여과 및 해변여과기술과 관련된 우물의 설계 및 시공에 대한 표준화된 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

동해안 지역에서 발생되는 대형 산불의 원인은 건조주의보, 영동지역에서 불어오는 강한 바람, 소나무의 단순림, 임도 유무와 상태 등을 들고 있다. 이러한 이유로 2000년 동해안 산불로 삼척시는 전체 피해면적의 약 70%인 17,000ha 이상의 산림이 소실되었다. 이후 삼척의 산불 피해지역은 인공복원와 자연복원을 구분하여 식생 분석을 통해 산림복원(회복) 정도를 파악하는 데 연구의 목적이 있다. 조사 대상지인 삼척 검봉산 일대는 기존 소나무가 우점하는 곳으로 2001년 복원을 위해 소나무, 곰솔, 굴참나무 등을 조림하였고, 일부는 자연복원을 하였다. 복원 이후 21년 지난 현재 삼척 검봉산 일대 산불피해 복원지역의 식생은 크게 굴참나무-소나무군락, 소나무-신갈나무군락, 곰솔-소나무 군락으로 나누어지는 것으로 나타났다. 산불피해지 식생회복은 굴참나무, 소나무, 곰솔 등 조림으로 현재 식생은 산불발생 이전의 임상으로 회복되고 있다. 특히, 산불의 유형 중 지표화 피해지역은 하층 식생의 피해가 크다. 기존의 소나무는 결실된 종자를 비산하여 치수를 발생시켜 자연복원의 속도를 높이고 굴참나무를 활용한 인공복원은 맹아를 발달시켜 본인의 영역을 확장하는 전략을 지니고 있다. 단, 입지적 환경이 동일하다는 전제 조건에서 숲에서 재생 기작이 진행되는 자연 복원보다는 인공복원이 회복시간과 종다양성이 높은 측면에서는 효과적인 것으로 결론을 지을 수 있다. 한편, 산불 발생 초기 굴참나무 조림은 4년 이후 아교목층(4m 이상)까지 부피 생장을 하고 종자 발아에 따른 개체수도 늘어난 모습을 보였다. 현재 소나무와 굴참나무, 신갈나무 군락지 간 수관 경쟁으로 소나무가 도태되는 천이 촉진 현상을 보일 것으로 예상된다. 굴참나무-소나무군락은 교목층에서는 조림 수종인 굴참나무가 높은 상대우점치를 나타내고 있지만, 아교목층은 자연 이입종인 신갈나무와 산불 이전 우점종인 소나무가 높은 우점치를 나타내는 특징을 보였다. 소나무나 곰솔이 우점하는 군락에 비해 복원 후 자연 이입종인 신갈나무에 의한 우점도가 높아 향후 혼효림으로 발달할 것으로 보이며, 이후 신갈나무와 굴참나무가 우점할 것으로 예측된다. 소나무-신갈나무군락은 조림 수종인 소나무와 자연 이입종인 신갈나무가 경쟁하고 있는 군락이다. 기존 연구에 따르면 산불 지역의 자연 회복지는 초기에 신갈나무와 쇠물푸레나무가 우점하는 경향을 나타낸다고 하였으나, 본 군락은 교목층과 아교목층 모두 소나무가 우점하는 특징을 나타내었다. 이를 통해 산불 이전 식생이었던 소나무군락을 형성할 것으로 판단된다. 이처럼 동해안은 과거 헐벗은 상태로 장기간 노출된 곳으로 유기물층이 없는 곳이 많다. 또한, 이곳에 광물질 토양이 노출된 나지에 소나무 종자가 비산하여 발아되고 숲을 형성하게 되지만 토양 비옥도가 개선되지 못한다면 자연 천이가 아닌 소나무림으로 장기간 지속될 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 곰솔-소나무군락은 곰솔이 교목층과 아교목층 모두 우점하고 있다. 곰솔-소나무군락은 단순림으로 다른 조사지역과 비교할 때 종다양도가 낮은 특징을 나타내며, 경쟁 수종이 없어 곰솔-소나무림의 형태를 유지할 것으로 판단된다. 이는 산불이 수목의 전소된 상태에서 소나무림 하층에 싸리 등 단일종으로 우점되는 경향이 있어 종다양도가 낮으며, 토양면 노출이 심각하다. 특히, 여름철 집중 강우에 따른 표토 유실이 진행되어 매토종자와 같은 자연복원 보다는 인공복원으로 접근하는 것이 효과적이다. 이와 함께 급경사 지역이나 동해안 해안에 가까운 구릉성 지대에는 토양이 척박하기 때문에 향후 복원을 위한 식물종 선정 시 참나무류 보다는 소나무로 접근하는 것이 효과적이다. 본 연구는 산불 피해지역 복원지에 대한 식생 구조 특성을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 전체적인 식생 구조 특성을 파악함에 있어 피해지와 참조생태계가 대변될 수 있는 비피해지(대조구) 식생 구조의 비교·분석과 같은 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이를 통해 산불피해지의 지표화, 전소화 피해지 등 유형별 효과적인 복원사업과 시행착오를 줄이는 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

배 경: 유육종증은 원인 모르게 비건락성 상피성 육아종이 전신에 발생하는 질환으로서 그 경과가 매우 다양하여 많은 환자들은 자연적으로 치유되기도 하나 일부 환자들은 계속 진행하여 호흡부전으로 사망하기도 하며 이러한 다른 결과가 초래되는 기전이나, 그 결과를 예측하는 지표는 아직 알려진 것이 없다. 유육종증은 병변내에서는 CD4+ T 임파구가 수적으로 증가할 뿐 아니라 그 작용이 과다하게 증가하며 이러한 병변내에서의 CD4+ T 임파구의 과다한 작용은 정확한 원인은 아직도 모르지만 이들이 oligoclonality를 가진 것으로 미루어 어떤 항원의 지속적인 자극에 기인할 것으로 추측하고 있다. 근래에 CD4+ T 임파구가 주로 IL-2 및 IFN-$\gamma$을 분비하고 지연성 과민 반응에 기여하는 Th1 세포와 IL-4, IL-5, IL-10을 분비하여 알레르기 반응에 관여하는 Th2 세포의 두 종류가 있다는 것이 밝혀졌고, 유육종증 병변 내 CD4+ T 임파구는 IL-2 및 IFN-$\gamma$를 분비하는 Th1 세포가 주인것으로 생각되고 있다. 또한 최근 미분화 T 세포들을 Th1 세포쪽으로 분화를 유도하는 데에 IL-12가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것이 알려졌으며, Mmoller등은 폐유유종증 환자에서 기관지폐포세척액(Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid : BALF) 내 IL-12가 증가한 것을 관찰하였다. 그러므로 폐유육종증의 병변의 계속적인 진행, 또는 자연치유 여부의 결정에 IL-12가 관여할 것을 추측할 수 있다. 이에 저자들은 IL-12가 유육종증의 활동성 지표로 사용될 수 있는지를 알아보기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대 상: 조직학적으로 확진된 폐유육종증 환자 26명(남자: 10명, 여자: 16명, 연령: $38.7{\pm}10.6$세)과 정상 대조군 11명을 대상으로 진단 시 얻은 BALF 내 IL-12양과 BALF내 폐포대식세포 (Alveolar macrophage : AM)를 24 시간 배양 시 배양액 내로 분비되는 IL-12양을 ELISA 방법으로 측정 비교하였다. 폐유육종증 환자들중 12명이 임상적으로 비활동성이었고, 14명은 활동성이었다. 결 과: 폐유육종증 환자들의 BALF내 총세포수, AM 총수, 임파구백분율 및 총수, CD4/CD8 비가 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였으나, 활동성 및 비활동성 환자군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다. BALF내 IL-12 농도는 폐유육종종 환자에서 $49.3{\pm}9.2$ pg/ml로 정상대조군의 $2.5{\pm}0.4$ pg/ml 보다 유의하게 (p<0.001) 높았고, 활동성 유육종증에서는 $70.3{\pm}14.8$ pg/ml로 비활동성 환자들의 $24.8{\pm}3.1$ pg/ml 보다 유의하게 높았다(p=0.001). BALF내의 IL-12 농도는 BALF내 AM백분율 (p<0.001), 임파구 백분율 (p<0.001) 및 임파구 총수 (p<0.001)와도 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 BALF내의 IL-12 농도는 최근에 유육종증의 활동성의 지표로 알려지고 있는 혈청 및 BALF내 sICAM-1 농도(각각 p<0.001, p=0.001), AM의 ICAM-1 발현도와도 (p<0.001) 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. AM에서의 IL-12분비량은 폐유육종증 환자들에서 $206.2{\pm}61.9$ pg/ml로 정상대조군의 $68.3{\pm}43.7$ pg/ml 보다 높았으며 (p<0.008), 활동성 및 비활동성 환자군간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결 론: 이상의 결과로 BALF 내 IL-12 농도는 폐내 염증 세포의 침윤 정도를 반영하며, 유육종증의 활성도를 예측하는 지표로서 유용할 것으로 사료되었다.

산원지(山元地) 임목가격(林木價格)의 결정(決定)에 있어서 중요(重要)한 문제(問題)는 평가(評價)된 임목가격(林木價格)이 객관성(客觀性)을 가져야 한다는 점이다. 임업경영(林業経営)이 정상적(正常的)인 상태(狀態)에 있고 국내(國內) 생산목재(生産木材)에 의(依)하여 목재시장(木材市場)이 수요(需要)와 공급(供給)의 균형(均衡)을 이루게 된다면 임목(林木)의 가격(價格)은 시장(市場)의 자율기능(自律機能)에 의(依)해서 결정(決定)될 것이다. 그려나 현재(現在) 국내목재시장(國內木材市場)은 도입외재(導入外材)에 의(依)해서 가격(價格)의 형성(形成)이 좌우(左右)되는 상태(狀態)이므로, 목재(木材)의 생산(生産)에 관여(関與)되는 제투자비(諸投資費)에 의해서 가격(價格)이 결정(決定)되지 않고 채취비용(採取費用)과 목재상인(木材商人)의 기업이윤(企業利潤)을 고려(考慮)한 금액(金額)으로 산원지(山元地)의 목재가격(木材價格)이 결정(決定)되고 있다. 한편 임목(林木)의 평가(評價)는 기업용자산(企業用資産)의 평가(評價), 손실보상액(損害補償額)의 사정(査定) 및 과세표준액(課稅標準額) 등(等)을 결정(決定)하기 위해서 시행(施行)되고 있다. 특(特)히 삼림(森林)의 손해보험(損害保険)이 실시(実施)되는 경우에는 보험가액(保険價額) 사정(査定)에 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)는 절대적으로 필요(必要)하다. 이 경우에 보통(普通) 유령임목(幼令林木)은 비용가격(費用價格)으로, 유령기(幼令期)와 성숙기(成熟期) 중간(中間)의 임목(林木)은 Glaser 방식(方式)으로, 성숙기(成熟期)에 있는 임목(林木)은 시장역산가격(市場逆算價格)으로 평가(平價)될 것이다. 그러나 이와 같은 방법(方法)으로 평가(平價)할 때에 가격(價格)의 객관성(客觀性)이 확보(確保)되지 않는다면 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)는 의미(意味)가 없게 된다. 따라서 본(本) 연구(研究)는 목재생산(木材生産)에 관여(関與)되는 생산비용(生産費用)을 분석(分析)하고 기업자(企業者)의 적정이윤(適正利潤)을 파악(把握)하여 임목(林木)의 평가(平價)가 객관성(客觀性)있게 이루어 질 수 있도록 시도되었다. 1. 조사대상지역(調査対象地域) 및 목재시장(木材市場)의 동향(動向) 조사대상지역(調査対象地域)은 경주시(慶州市) 외곽지역(外廓地域)에 소재(所在)한 두 지역(地域)의 인공림지(人工林地)로, 시장여건(市場與件)은 동일(同一)하나 임상(林相) 및 목재생산(木材生産) 여건(與件)은 서로 상이(相異)하였다. 즉 암곡지역(暗谷地域)의 임목축적(林木蓄積)과 목림생산여건(木林生産與件)은 황룡지역(黃龍地域) 보다 훨씬 양호(良好)한 상태(狀態)로 황룡지역(黃龍地域)은 암곡지역(暗谷地域)에 비(比)하여 생산비용(生産費用)이 57% 정도 더 소요(所要)되었다. 또한 조사시기(調査時期) 당시(當時)의 경주시(慶州市) 임목가격(林木価格)은 서울의 원목시장가격(原木市場價格)보다 9~15% 정도 낮은 가격(価格)으로 형성(形成)되고 있었다. 2. 생산작업공정(生産作業工程) 목재(木材)의 생산(生産)을 위한 비용지출(費用支出)은 생산작업공정(生産作業工程)과 직결(直結)된다. 본(本) 연구(研究)에서는 현지(現地)의 도급인부(都給人夫)들이 제시(提示)한 공정표(工程表)를 적용(適用)하였다. 이 작업공정표(作業工程表)는 국유림산물(國有林産物) 매각예정가격(賣却豫定價格) 사정기준상(査定基準上)의 표준공정표(標準工程表)와 서울대학교(大學校) 광양(光陽) 연습림(演習林)에서 조사(調査)된 침엽수(針葉樹) 인공림(人工林)의 벌채작업공정조사표(伐採作業工程調査表)의 중간정도(中間程度)로 구성(構成)되어 있다. 생산작업(生産作業)의 능률(能率)이 목재생산비용(木材生産費用)의 과다(過多)에 중요(重要)한 관건(関件)이 되고 있다. 따라서 능률적(能率的)인 작업(作業)을 위해서 숙련(熟練)된 임업노동자(林業勞動者)의 확보(確保)가 필요(必要)하며 작업조건(作業條件)의 개선(改善)이 시급한 과제(課題)임을 알 수 있다. 3. 생산비용(生産費用) 및 기업자이윤(企業者利潤) 임목(林木)의 생산비용중(生産費用中) 가장 큰 비중(比重)을 차지하는 부분(部分)은 임목(林木)을 임지(林地)에서 시장(市場)까지 반출(搬出)하는 비용(費用)이다. 즉 암곡지역(暗谷地域)은 반출비용(搬出費用)이 벌목비용(伐木費用)에 비(比)하여 16.7%를 상회하고 있고, 황룡지역(黃龍地域)은 48% 상회하고 있다. 한편 벌목비용(伐木費用)은 하곡(下由) 집재비(集材費), 벌도비(伐倒費), 조재비(造材費), 박피비(剝皮費)의 순서(順序)로 구성(構成)되어있고 기타(其他) 생산비용(生産費用)은 임도신설(林道新設) 보수비(補修費), 관리(管理) 운반비(運搬費)와 상하차비(上下車費) 및 제경비(諸経費)의 순서(順序)로 구성(構成)되어 있다. 기업자(企業者)의 이윤율(利潤率)은 보통(普通) 위험률(危険率)을 포함(包含)하여 15% 정도로 합의(合議)되고 있으나 전체적(全体的)인 고금리(高金利) 추세(推勢)에 따라 임업(林業)에 관계(関係)되는 이자율(利子率) 및 이윤(利潤)의 폭(幅)도 점차 상승(上昇)하는 경향(傾向)이다. 또한 임업(林業)이 전체산업중(全体産業中) 차지하는 가중치(加重値)의 비율(比率)은 약(約) 2.41%에 해당(該當)하며, 금융기관(金融機関)의 자금지원(資金支援)은 극히 미미한 상태(狀態)로 전체(全体) 대출금중(貸出金中) 월간(月間) 약(約) 0.1% 정도로 차지하고 있을 뿐이다. 4. 평가액(評價額)의 사정(査定) 임목(林木)의 평가(評價)는 직선적(直線的)인 방법(方法)과 할인식방법(割引式方法)인 시장역산가방식(市場逆算價方式)으로 각각(各各) 계산(計算)되었다. 모든 변수(変数)를 대입(代入)하여 평가(評價)의 객관성(客觀性)을 확보(確保)하였으며, 그 결과(結果) 상기(上記)의 두가지 방식(方式)은 큰 차이(差異)를 나타내지 않았으나 지역간(地域間)의 가격차이(價格差異)는 상당(相當)히 큰 폭(幅)으로 발생(発生)하였다. 따라서 임목(林木)의 가격사정(價格査定)을 위해서는 변수(変数)가 객관성(客觀性)만 가지고 있다면 직선적(直線的)인 방법(方法)이나 할인식방법(割引式方法) 중 어떤 방법(方法)으로 계산(計算)되어도 큰 차이(差異)가 없는 객관적(客間的) 가격(價格)을 얻을 수 있다.

1980-'90년대에 쌀의 자급생산이 지속되고 생활수준 향상에 따른 양질미 수요가 점증되면서 자포니카 다수성 품종의 미질 개선에 힘을 크게 기울이게 되었고 식미향상을 위한 육종연구 와 효율적 평가 기술개발 연구에 박차를 가하게 되어 쌀의 이화학적 특성과 식미 및 밥 물리성간 상관과 식미의 객관적 평가방법 개발, 양식미 쌀 및 가공적성 특수미 개발 등 그 동안 많은 연구성과를 올리게 되었다. 1990년대에 밥맛이 매우 좋은 고품질 자포니카 품종과 대립, 심백미, 향미, 유색미 등 가공용 특수미 품종을 개발 보급하였고 식미와 용도에 대하여 식미검정계, 신속점도측정계 및 texture 분석계 등을 이용하여 검토하였다. 최근에는 아밀로스 함량이 9%로 찹쌀과 맵쌀의 중간 성질을 가진 중간찰 품종인 '백진주벼'와 배유가 보얀 멥쌀인 '설갱 벼'를 비롯하여 라이신 함량이 높은 '영안벼' 육성하여 쌀의 가공 이용성과 기능성을 한층 높혀 놓았다. 식미와 여러 가지 미질 특성간 관련성에 관한 연구 결과를 요약해 보면 다음과 같다. 쌀의 상온흡수율 및 최대흡수율은 K/Mg율 및 알칼리 붕괴도와 유의한 부의 상관성을 나타내었으며 가열흡수율이 높은 품종일수록 밥의 용적팽창률이 컸다. 수분함량이 낮은 경질인 쌀일수록 침지 20분 후의 상온흡수율과 최대흡수율이 더 높은 경향이었으며 이러한 흡수 특성은 쌀 단백질 함량이나 아밀로스 함량 및 식미와는 유의한 상관성이 없었다 취반 적정가수량은 품종에 따라 마른 쌀 무게의 1.45-l.61배의 변이를 나타내었고 평균은 1.52배였으며 알맞게 취사된 밥의 부피는 평균 쌀 부피의 2.63배가되었다. 쌀 형태, 알칼리붕괴도, 호응집성, 아밀로스 및 단백질 함량은 거의 비슷하지만 식미에 차이가 있는 자포니카 품종들을 사용하여 식미와 관련된 쌀의 이화학적 특성을 검토한 결과, 밥의 윤기와 식미 총평은 생산 연도에 따라 호화점도 특성 중 최고점도, 최저점도 및 응집점도와 밀접한 관계를 나타내었다. 밥맛이 가장 좋은 일품 벼는 쌀의 외층에 아밀로스 함량 분포가 낮고 쌀을 열탕에 담근 20분간 우러난 용출액의 요드 정색도가 낮고 증가정도도 완만하였다. 일품 벼는 밥맛이 떨어지는 동해 벼에 비해 밥알 횡단면의 주사형 전자현미경 사진에서 밥알 외층의 호화전분의 그 물망이 매우 치밀하고 속층의 전분립의 호화정도가 양호하였다. 식미총평은 식미관련 이화학적 특성과의 관계를 이용한 중회귀식에 의해 매우 높은 결정계수로 추정이 가능하였다. 밥노화의 품종간 차이는 α-amylase-iodine 법으로 비교할 수 있었는데 노화정도가 적었던 품종은 일품벼, 추청벼, 사사니시끼, 진부벼 및 고시히까리였다. 통일형 품종인 태백벼와 자포니카 품종 중 섬진벼가 비교적 밥노화가 빨랐다 일반적으로 밥맛이 좋은 품종이 밥의 노화정도가 느렸으며 찬밥의 탄력성이 큰 경향이었다. 또한 밥노화가 느렸던 품종은 최저점도가 높았고 최종점도가 낮았다 찬밥의 탄력성은 쌀의 마그네슘함량과 밥의 용적팽창률과 밀접한 관계를 나타내었다. 식은밥의 더운밥 대비 경도 변화율은 취반용출액의 고형물량과 취반용적 팽창률과 부의 상관을 나타내었다. 식미관련 주요 이화학적 특성은 밥의 노화와도 직접 간접으로 상관이 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 쌀의 여러 가지 식품 가공적성과 관련된 형태 및 이화학적 특성은 가공식품 종류에 따라 매우 다르다. 쌀 튀김성은 호응집성이 연질이거나 아밀로스 함량이 낮을수록 양호하며 지질함량이나 단백질 함량이 높으면 좋지 않은 경향이다. 심복백정도가 심할수록 튀김현미 정립률이 떨어지며 현미 강도가 높을수록 튀김률은 높은 경향이었다 쌀국수는 밀가루와 50% 혼합시에 쌀의 칼륨 및 마그네슘 함량이 높은 품종일수록 제면 총평이 낮은 경향이었고 제면이 양호한 것이 국수물의 용출고형 물량이 적은 경향이었다. 쌀빵 가공적성은 품종에 따라서 현미와 백미간에 현저한 차이를 나타내는 것이 있는데 현미에서 반죽의 부피 증가율이 큰 쌀일수록 푹신한 감이 있는 쌀방 제조가 가능하였으며 백미에서 단백질 함량이 높은 품종일수록 쌀빵이 더욱 촉촉한 느낌이 있는 경향이었다. 아밀로스 함량이 높고 호응집성이 경질인 쌀일수록 쌀빵의 탄력성이 더 높은 경향이었다. 쌀의 발효 및 양조적성은 심복백이 심한 쌀이나 새로운 돌연변이인 뽀얀 멥쌀이 홍국균이나 홍국균의 균사활착 밀도가 높고 당화 효소 역가도 높은 경향이었으며 쌀알이 대립이면서 단백질 함량이 낮은 쪽이 양조에 유리한 것으로 알려져 있다. 찰벼 품종도 여러 가지 이화학적 특성과 전분구조 특성의 차이에 따라 9개의 품종군으로 나누어 볼 수 있을 만큼 품종적 변이가 크며 이들 이화학적 및 구조적 특성간에 상호 밀접한 연관성을 나타내었으며 유과·인절미·식혜ㆍ미숫가루 등에 상당한 가공적성의 차이를 보였다. WTO 체제 출범이후 생산비와 가격 면에서 경쟁력이 약한 우리 쌀이 살아남기 위해서는 품질의 고급화와 쌀 가공식품의 다양화 및 고기능성 개발을 추구할 수밖에 없다. 따라서 이와 같은 노력은 벼 품종개발만으로 소기의 성과를 올리기 어렵고 쌀 식품의 고급화 및 다양화를 위한 여러 분야의 긴밀한 연구협력이 수반되지 않으면 안 된다.

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

The 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.
