무인항공기는 새로운 형태의 무기체계 또는 군용항공기로 발전하고 있다. 특히, 미국은 지난 2001년 9.11테러 이후 테러와의 전쟁을 선포하고 무인항공기를 이용하여 테러집단에 대한 공격을 함으로써 전쟁의 효율성과 효과성을 높이고 있다. 이같은 무인항공기가 '비용없는 전쟁' 이라는 목적에 부합할 수 있으나, 한편으로는 국제법 또는 전쟁법에 합치하는가 하는 문제에 대해서는 많은 논란이 일고 있다. 앞에서 무인항공기의 개념과 전쟁법에 합치여부 그리고 영공침범문제 등에 대해서 쟁점별로 검토하였다. 검토결과 무인항공기는 무기가 아닌 항공기로 분류가 가능하다고 판단된다. 무인기 사용과 관련하여 문제가 되는 것은 관습 전쟁법과 성문 전쟁법에 기초한 군사적 필요성, 차별의 원칙, 비례의 원칙, 인도적 원칙 등이다. 특히, 무인기 사용과 관련하여 가장 크게 논란이 되는 부분은 비례의 원칙이다. 비례의 원칙은 기대되는 군사적 목표달성과 이에 따라 야기될 손해간의 균형을 요구한다. 이는 기본적으로 재산이나 시민에게 부가적인 손해를 발생시키는 군사력 사용을 금지하는 것이다. 즉, 비군사적 목표 또는 비전투원에 미치는 부수적 효과가 기대되는 군사적 이익을 명백히 초과하는 때에는 공격이 금지된다는 점이다. 이러한 원칙에 비추어 볼 때 무인기에 대한 비례성의 원칙의 합치여부에 대한 조금 더 신중하고 세밀한 검토가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 그리고 무인항공기에 의한 영공침범시 대응과 관련하여 조종지 타격이 전쟁법에 합치하는가 하는 데 대해 논란이 있는 바, 현재에는 무인항공기가 감시, 정찰 임무수행과 공격임무 수행에 대해서 구분하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 감시, 정찰 임무를 주로 하는 무인항공기에 대해서는 조종지 타격을 하는 것은 많은 제한점이 있으나, 공격임무를 띄는 무인항공기에 대해서는 조종지 타격이 가능하다는 것이 다수설이다. 앞으로 전쟁은 제4세대 전쟁 또는 사이버 전쟁이라고 불리어지는 새로운 형태의 양상이 될 것이다. 특히, 무인항공기와 같은 '최소 비용'으로 '최대의 효과'를 달성하려는 전쟁형태가 될 것이다. 따라서 여기에 대한 인도주의적, 전쟁범적인 연구가 필수적으로 이루어짐으로써 인류의 평화적인 발전에 기여해야 할 것이다.

연구목적: 본 연구는 높은 심미성을 나타내지만 낮은 파절 강도로 인하여 구치부에서의 사용이 제한되고 있는 전부도재 고정성 국소의치의 파절강도를 증가시키기 위한 방법으로, 취성 재료인 도재에 인장강도가 높은 금속선을 삽입하고 물리적, 기계적 성질을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: lithium disilicate(ingot No.200 : IPS Empress 2, Ivoclar Vivadent, Lichtenstein)와 0.41 mm 직경의 Ni-Cr 금속선(Alfa Aesar, Johnson Matthey Company, USA)을 사용하여, 금속선의 수와 배열을 달리한 4개의 실험군 시편을 제작하였다. 모든 시편은 폭 4 mm, 두께 2 mm, 길이 15 mm의 직육면체로 제작하였다. 실험군 1, 2, 3은 각각 한 가닥, 두 가닥, 세 가닥의 금속선을 도재 시편의 장축을 따라 배열하였으며, 실험군 4는 세 가닥의 금속선을 도재 시편의 장축에, 다섯 가닥의 금속선을 도재 시편의 횡축에 배열하였다. 대조군에는 금속선을 삽입하지 않았으며, 대조군 및 각각의 실험군의 시편은 각 군당 12개로 하였다. 결과: 만능 시험기(Z020, Zwick, Germany)를 이용하여 파절시점까지 하중을 가한 후, 굴곡계수, 굴곡강도, 파절시점까지의 변형률, 파괴인성을 측정하였다. 파절된 시편의 도재와 금속선의 계면을 횡절단 및 연마하여 주사전자현미경(JSM-6360, JEOL, Japan)으로 100배상에서 관찰하였다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 도재에 금속선을 삽입한 결과, 금속선을 삽입하지 않은 대조군에 비해 통계적 유의성 있는 굴곡계수 및 굴곡강도의 변화는 관찰할 수 없었으나, 변형률의 유의성 있는 증가(P<.001)를 관찰할 수 있었다. 2. 금속선을 삽입한 시편의 파절 양상은 하중점 부위에서 도재만 파절되는 양상을 나타내었다. 3. 금속선을 삽입한 도재의 파절된 시편을 횡절단 및 종절단하여 100 배상에서 주사전자현미경으로 촬영한 결과, 하중 시 도재의 파절 원인이 될 수 있는 도재 내부의 기포는 관찰되지 않았으며, 도재와 금속선 사이의 gap도 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 금속선 삽입의 결과, 취성 재료인 도재의 통계적으로 유의성 있는 변형률의 증가를 관찰할 수 있었다. 그러나 구치부에서 금속선 강화 도재의 사용을 위해서는 굴곡계수 및 굴곡강도의 향상이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 추가적 연구가 필요하다.

While the role of emotional antecedents of effective selling behavior would be important, the issue has not been fully addressed in the sales literature. To fill this gap, we conceptualize and empirically examine the relationships among salesperson's emotional regulation processes such as emotional intelligence (EI) and emotional labor (EL), effective selling behavior, and sales performance on the basis of educational, occupational, social psychology literature and marketing literature (e.g., Henning-Thurau, Groth, Paul, and Gremler 2006; Kidwell et al. 2011; Liu et al. 2008; Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso 2008). First, salesperson's EI is defined as his or her capability that enables correct perceptions about emotional situations in sales interactions. The EI is expected to work as psychological resources for different types of EL (i.e., deep acting and surface acting) to be performed by salesperson as emotional expression strategies (e.g., Lie et al. 2008). It is, then, expected that the features of EL selected by the salesperson would lead to different levels of adaptive selling behavior (ASB) and thereby sales performance (Monaghan 2006). Further, given that salesperson's customer orientation (CO) is found to be an important correlate of ASB (Franke and Park 2006), it is expected that CO would moderate the relationship between EL and ASB (Rozell, Pettijohn, and Parker 2004). Hence, this research attempts to shed additional light on emotionally-driven (EL) as well as cognitively-driven (CO) antecedents of ASB (Frank and Park 2006). The findings of the survey research, done with 336 salespersons in insurance and financial companies, are summarized as follows. First, salespersons with a high level of EI are found to use both deep acting (regulating the emotions themselves) and surface acting (controlling only emotional expressions) in a versatile way, when implementing EL. Second, the more the salesperson performs deep acting, the more he or she shows ASB. It is, then, important for salespersons to use deep acting more frequently in the EL process in order to enhance the quality of interacting with customers through ASB. On the other hand, the salesperson's surface acting did not have a significant relationship with ASB. Moreover, CO was found to moderate the relationship between the salesperson's deep acting and ASB. That is, the context of high CO culture and individual salesperson's deep acting would synergistically make the selling efforts adaptive to customer preferences. Conceptualizing and empirically verifying the antecedent roles of important emotional constructs such as EI and EL in salesperson's effective selling behavior (ASB) and sales performance is a major theoretical contribution in the sales literature. Managerially, this research provides a deeper understanding on the nature of tasks performed by salespersons in service industries and a few guidelines for managing the sales force. First, sales organizations had better consciously assess EI capacity in the selection and nurturing processes of salespersons, given that EI can efficiently drive EL and the resulting effective selling behavior and performance. Further, the concept of EL could provide a framework to understand the salespersons' emotional experiences in depth. Especially, sales organizations may well think over how to develop deep acting capabilities of their sales representatives. In this direction, the training on deep acting strategies would be an essential task for improving effective selling behavior and performance of salespersons. This kind of training had better incorporate the perspectives of customers such that many customers can actually discern whether salespersons are doing either surface acting or deep acting. Finally, based on the synergistic effects of deep acting and CO culture, how to build and sustain CO is always an ever-important task in sales organizations. While the prior sales literature has emphasized the process and structure of highly customer-oriented sales organization, our research not only corroborates the important aspects of customer-oriented sales organization, but also adds the important dimension of competent sales representatives who can resonate with customers by deep acting for sales excellence.

우리나라에 유통업체상표(Private Label)가 도입된 지 10년이 넘었음에도 불구하고 유통업체 상표에 대한 대부분의 연구는 소비자 관점에서 진행되어져 왔다. 본 연구는 유통업체상표를 소비자 관점이 아닌 제조업체의 관점에서 바라본 연구로, 제조업체의 유통업체상표 생산에 영향을 미치는 내외부적 요인들에 대해서 자원기반이론과 S-C-P Paradigm의 통합적인 연구모형인 전략적 시장관리 관점을 제시하였다. 연구결과를 보면, 제조업체의 마케팅 역량이 높을수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출이 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 마케팅 역량에는 제조업체 브랜드명성, 마케팅 투자, 제품포트폴리오 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 제조업체의 마케팅 역량과 유통업체 상표 생산 간의 관계에는 제조업체의 경쟁강도가 조절효과를 미치는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 일반적으로 마케팅 역량이 높은(낮은) 기업일수록 전체 매출에서 유통업체상표가 차지하는 비율이 낮지만(높지만), 이러한 기업들 중 경쟁강도를 낮게 지각하는 제조업체의 전체매출 중 유통업체상표가 차지하는 매출은 경쟁강도를 높게 지각하는 제조업체들에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 바탕으로, 본 연구는 유통업체상표 생산에 대한 이론 및 실무적인 시사점을 제시하고 있다.

권우(卷宇) 홍찬유(洪贊裕)(1915~2005)는 대한민국 근 현대 시기 대표적 한학자(漢學者)의 한 사람이자 시대의 지성인(知性人)으로, 학계의 후예들에 의해 사표(師表)로 추앙받고 있는 인물이다. 권우(卷宇)는 일제강점기와 한국전쟁, 독재와 민주화의 투쟁기라는 한국 사회의 지난한 혼란기를 몸소 겪으며 당대의 젊은 학자들을 교육하고 이끌었던 시대의 스승이었지만, 운명 이후 지금까지 그의 생애와 업적에 관한 학계의 조명이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이 글은 아직까지 학계에서 논의되지 않았던 근 현대의 대표적 한학자 권우(卷宇) 홍찬유(洪贊裕)의 시문학 세계에 대해 살펴보고자 한 글이다. 그간 학계에서 논의되지 않았던 권우(卷宇) 홍찬유(洪贊裕)의 문집에 근거한 최초의 작업이고, 그에 대한 본격적인 탐구의 시작으로 최소한의 의미를 지닌다는 점에서, 이 글은 그의 문집 속 시문학 작품에 대한 세부적인 점검을 우선적인 목표로 삼는다. 그렇지만, 이와 같은 의도에도 불구하고 필자의 부족한 지식과 학문적 역량, 자료의 불비(不備)로 인해 이 글의 곳곳에서 한계가 노정될 수밖에 없다. 권우(卷宇)의 문집을 통해 본 권우(卷宇)의 시세계는 그의 시가 자신의 내적 정서의 표출을 시의 중심에 두고 있다는 특징을 보여준다. 이와 같은 특징은 권우(卷宇)가 지니고 있었던 시 의식이 시의 대사회적 효용보다 개인적 정서의 표출이라는 개인화에 보다 주목하는 것이었음을 말해준다. 이와 같은 권우(卷宇)의 시 의식은 그의 시문학 세계 전반에서 고르게 확인이 된다. 이에 따라 권우(卷宇)는 고시보다 근체시를, 연작시보다 단형시를 중심으로 하였으며, 송별시나 증여시 만시와 같은 대사회적 관계 속에서 이루어지는 시의 창작을 꺼렸다고 생각된다. 그런데 권우(卷宇)의 시문학 세계가 지니는 특성을 이렇게 정리하였을 때 몇 가지 의문점이 남게 된다. 우선적으로 지닐 수 있는 의문은 그의 문집 속 시문학 작품들이 그의 시세계 전부인가 하는 것이다. 현재 필자가 확인한 권우(卷宇)의 시문학 작품은 모두 문집 속에 수록되어 있는 것이지만, 권유의 시문학 세계가 이 작품들만으로 정리될 수 있는 것인가 하는 것에는 의문의 여지가 크다. 다음으로 지니게 되는 의문은 권우(卷宇)의 시문학 작품들이 내적 정서의 표출을 시의 중심에 두고 있으며, 흥(興)의 정서를 표출한 시와 감회(感懷)와 감개(感慨)의 정서를 표출한 시가 각기 다른 시문학 작품의 창작 공간과 상황에서도 동일한 모습으로 드러난다면, 각기 다른 성격의 흥취(興趣)와 감회(感懷) 감개(感慨)라는 정서를 시문학 작품 속으로 옮겨간 구체적인 창작 방법은 어떠한가 하는 것이다. 마지막 의문점은 만약 지금까지 문집을 통해 확인한 권우(卷宇)의 시문학 세계가 그의 시가 지니는 실상을 있는 그대로 보여주는 것이라고 한다면, 혹은 그의 생애 중 한 시기의 실상을 있는 그대로 보여주는 것이라고 한다면 그 의미는 무엇인가 하는 것이다. 이상과 같은 의문점은 권우(卷宇) 개인에 대한 탐색과 아울러 시대에 대한 탐색이 입체적으로 동시에 진행되어야 해소될 수 있을 것이라고 생각한다. 특히 권우(卷宇)의 시문학 세계에 대해 던지는 새로운 방향의 심화 연구 촉구는 근 현대 한문학사의 온전한 구성과 한문학사 한문학 연구의 연속성 확보를 위해서도 중요한 의미를 지닐 것이다. 이와 같은 점에서 앞으로 더 많은 연구자의 노력이 필요하리라 생각된다.

한 중 FTA가 2015년 12월 20일 발효되었고, 우리나라 제1위의 교역상대국인 중국과의 FTA로서 발효된 후 1년이 경과하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국과 중국 간 항공운송 교역 동향을 살펴보고, 한 중 FTA의 항공운송서비스 부문에 대한 양허내용을 검토하고, 항공운송 부문에 미치는 영향을 분석하며, 이에 대응하기 위한 우리나라 항공정책의 방향을 도출하여 제시하고자 한다. 2016년 한 중 간 항공운송 교역 동향을 살펴보면, 대중국 항공운송 수출액은 전년대비 9.3% 감소한 400.3억 달러로서, 대중국 전체 수출액의 32.2%를 차지하고 있다. 대중국 항공운송 수입액은 전년대비 9.1% 감소한 242.6억 달러로서, 대중국 전체 수입액의 27.7%를 차지하고 있다. 한 중 FTA의 항공운송서비스 부문 양허내용을 검토해 보면, 중국은 한 중 FTA 협정문 제8장 부속서 중국의 양허표에서 항공운송서비스 분야의 항공기 보수 및 유지 서비스, 컴퓨터 예약시스템(CRS)서비스에 대하여 시장접근과 내국민대우에 대한 제한을 두고 양허하였다. 한국은 한 중 FTA 협정문 제8장 부속서 한국의 양허표에서 항공운송서비스 분야의 컴퓨터 예약시스템서비스, 항공운송서비스의 판매 및 마케팅, 항공기 유지 및 보수 서비스에 대하여 시장접근과 내국민대우에 대한 제한을 두지 않고 양허하였다. 한 중 FTA가 항공운송 부문에 미치는 영향을 분석해 보면, 항공여객시장에 미친 영향으로, 2016년 국제선 중국노선 도착여객은 996만 명으로 전년대비 20.6% 증가하였고, 출발여객은 990만 명으로 전년대비 34.8% 증가하였다. 항공화물시장에 미친 영향으로, 2016년 대중국 항공화물 수출물동량은 105,220.2톤으로 전년대비 6.6% 증가하였고, 수입물동량은 133,750.9톤으로 전년대비 12.3% 증가하였다. 대중국 수출 항공화물 주요품목가운데 한 중 FTA 협정문 중국 관세양허표 상 수혜품목의 수출물동량이 증가하였고, 대중국 수입항공화물 주요품목가운데 한 중 FTA 한국 관세양허표 상 수혜품목의 수입물 동량이 증가하였다. 항공물류시장에 미친 영향으로 2016년 국내 포워더의 대중국 수출 항공화물 취급실적은 119,618톤으로 전년대비 2.1% 감소하였고, 대중국 수입 항공화물 취급실적은 79,430톤으로 전년대비 4.4% 감소하였다. 2016년 대중국 역직구(전자상거래 수출) 수출금액은 1억 916만 달러로 전년대비 27.7% 증가하였고, 대중국직구(전자상거래 수입) 수입금액은 8,943만 달러로 전년대비 72% 증가하였다. 한 중 FTA에 따른 우리나라 항공정책의 방향을 도출하여 제시해 보면 다음과 같다. 첫째 한 중 간에 항공자유화를 추진한다. 한국과 중국은 2006년 6월 중국의 산동성과 해남성에 대해 여객 및 화물 제3자유 및 제4자유를 범위로 하는 항공자유화 협정을 체결하였으며, 2010년 하계부터 양국 간 항공운항을 전면 자유화하기로 합의하였으나, 중국 측에서 항공협정 양해각서 문안의 해석 상 이의를 제기함에 따라 추가적인 항공자유화는 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 한 중 FTA와는 별도의 항공회담을 통해 중국과의 점진적 선별적 항공여객시장 및 화물시장의 항공자유화를 추진해야 할 것이다. 둘째 항공운송산업 및 공항의 경쟁력을 확보해야 한다. 한국의 항공운송산업 경쟁력의 강화방안으로 국적항공사 경쟁력의 강화를 위한 지원체계를 마련하며, 국적항공사의 새로운 공정경쟁의 기반을 조성하며, 국익기반 전략적 네트워크를 구축해야 할 것이다. 한국의 공항 특히 인천공항의 경쟁력 강화방안으로 항공수요 창출 네트워크 경쟁력을 강화하며, 공항시설과 안전인프라를 확충하며, 공항을 통한 새로운 부가가치를 창출하며, 세계 1위 수준의 서비스 수준을 유지해야 할 것이다. 셋째 항공물류업의 경쟁력을 강화한다. 한국의 항공물류업 경쟁력의 강화방안으로 산업트렌드 변화에 대응한 고부가가치 물류산업의 육성전략으로 신규 물류시장을 개척하며, 물류인프라를 확충하며, 물류전문인력을 양성한다. 또한 글로벌 물류시장의 확대전략으로 물류기업의 해외투자 지원체계를 구축하며, 글로벌 운송네트워크 확장에 따른 국제협력 강화 및 인프라를 확보해야 할 것이다. 인천공항 항공물류 경쟁력의 강화방안으로 기업의 물류단지 입주수요에 대응하며, 신 성장 화물분야의 비교우위 선점을 하며, 물류허브 역량을 강화하며, 공항 내 화물처리속도 경쟁력을 향상해야 할 것이다. 넷째 한 중 FTA 후속 협상에서 항공운송서비스 분야의 추가 개방을 확보한다. 한 중 FTA 발효 후 2년 내에 개시될 후속 협상에서 중국 측 항공운송서비스 분야의 양허수준이 중국의 기체결 FTA에 비해 미흡한 분야인 컴퓨터 예약시스템서비스 및 항공기 보수 및 유지 서비스의 양허에 대해 추가 개방을 요구하는 것이 필요할 것이다. 결론적으로 한 중 FTA가 우리나라 항공여객시장, 항공화물시장 및 항공물류시장에 미치는 영향에 대응하여 추진해야 할 정책과제로서, 국적항공사의 경쟁력과 국민 편익을 고려하여 중국과의 점진적 선별적 항공자유화를 추진하며, 항공운송산업과 공항의 경쟁력 강화를 위한 지원체계를 구축하며, 물류기업들의 항공물류시장 진출을 확대하며, 중국 측 양허수준이 낮은 항공운송서비스 분야의 추가 개방 요구를 위한 준비를 해야 할 것이다.

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 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.

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.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. 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.

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.

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 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.
