전보에서 분리선정된 균의 발효조건 및 각종첨가물의 영향을 검토하고 배양물을 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 선정균의 최적배양 조건은 표면배양의 경우, M-80은 sucrose 140g, (N $H_4$)$_2$S $O_4$3.0g, K $H_2$P $O_4$1.5g, MgS $O_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.25g, F $e^{++}$ 3.0mg, $Zn^{++}$ l.0mg, D. W. 1ι, pH 5.0 이었고, M-315는 sucrose 140g, N $H_4$N $O_3$2.0g, K $H_2$P $O_4$1.0g, MgS $O_4$. 7$H_2O$ 0.25g, F $e^{++}$ 2.0mg, $Zn^{++}$ 2.0mg, C $u^{++}$ 0.05mg, D. W. 1ι pH 4.5 이였으며, M-315의 액내배양의 경우 sucrose 140g, N $H_4$N $O_3$2.5g, K $H_2$P $O_4$1.5g, MgS $O_4$.7$H_2O$ 0.3g, F $e^{++}$ 3.0mg, $Zn^{++}$ 3.0mg, C $u^{++}$ 0.1mg, D. W. 1ι, pH 4.5이었다. 배양온도는 28~3$0^{\circ}C$, 포자접종량은 배양액에 $10^{7}$ -$10^{8}$ 개/ml 접종하였을 때 산생성이 가장 좋았다. 2. 선정균의 생육상태와 산생성관계를 경시적으로 조사한 결과 배양 3~4일 후에 균체의 증식은 거의 끝나고 pH는 2.0이하로 저하되었으며 구연산은 이때부터 급속히 축적되기 시작하여 표면배양의 경우, M-80은 8일, M-315는 9일, M-315의 액내배양의 경우는 10일간 배양하였을 때 구연산생성량이 최고치에 달하였다. 3. Methanol의 첨가는 구연산생성에 좋은 영향을 미쳤으며 표면배양의 경우 M-80, M-315의 배양액에 2.0%, 3.0% 첨가하였을 때 카곽 6.5%, 20%의 수율이 향상되었고, M-315의 액내배양액에는 3.0%의 첨가로 5.0% 의 수율이 향상되었다. 4. 최적조건하에서 발효시킨 분리균의 배양물을 분석한 결과 대부분이 구연산만을 선택적으로 축적하고 있었고, 표면배양의 경우 M-80, M-315 배양액에 각각 72.1mg/ml, 98.1mg/ml이, M-315의 액내배양액에는 59.8mg/ml 구연산이 정량되었다.

HadGEM2-CC 모델에서의 $CO_2$ 농도증가에 대한 RCP 시나리오의 결과는 21세기 말 전 지구 연평균 기온과 강수 증가가 전망되고 이에 따라 식물의 생산량 및 호흡량 증가가 전망된다. 20세기 말 일차생산량(GPP와 NPP), 호흡량, LAI가 21세기 말 기온 증가에 따라 증가하는 점은 기존의 Shao et al. (2013)와 유사하였다. 특히 이전 연구와 유사하게 21세기 말 일차생산량과 호흡량은 고위도보다 열대 저위도 지역에서 증가량이 더 컸다. 기온이 상승하고 강수량이 증가하면서 식생이 자라지 않던 나지 면적이 감소하였고, 이에 따른 식생 면적 증가는 식생의 생산량(GPP, NPP) 증가로 나타났다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 C3 초지, 활엽수의 면적 증가가 뚜렷하였다. 이는 Beck and Goetz (2011)에서 언급한 대로 온난화에 따른 식생 면적 증가가 식생 생산성과 연관되어 $CO_2$ 흡수작용을 강화하는 데 기여할 수 있음을 의미한다. Shao et al. (2013)에 따르면 21세기 말 누적 NEE는 증가가 전망되고 이는 특히 열대와 고위도 지역이 주요 흡수원으로 작용하였기 때문으로 그 원인을 설명하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 HadGEM2-CC에서는 전 지구 평균적으로 NEE 흡수가 증가하는 경향은 동일하게 전망하며, 이는 열대보다는 북반구 고위도지역인 유라시아와 북미 대륙에서 증가한 흡수가 그 원인으로 분석되었다(Fig. 8). 앞서 Mynenl et al. (1997)에 따르면 기온상승에 따라 식생의 광합성활동, 생장시기 길이와 시작시기의 당겨짐을 보고하였다. 본 연구 실험에서도 이와 유사하게 미래에 기온 상승에 따라 식생 성장 기간이 길어지고 LAI도 증가하며 식생 지대가 점차 고위도로 북상할 것을 전망하였다(Figs. 5, 12b). 이에 따라 육상 생태계의 $CO_2$ 흡수량은 20세기 말보다 21세기 말에 증가하였고 우리나라가 속해있는 동아시아지역($90^{\circ}E{\sim}140^{\circ}E$, $20^{\circ}N{\sim}60^{\circ}N$)은 기온, 강수뿐 아니라 $CO_2$ 흡수량도 같은 위도대의 전 지구 동서평균보다 크게 모의되었다. RCPs에 따른 흡수율은 21세기 중반까지는 대기 중 이산화탄소 농도 변화율과 유사한 경향을 보이는데 RCP 8.5에서는 21세기 후반에 흡수 증가율이 감소하며 이는 Liddicoat et al. (2013) 에서 보인것과 유사하다. 하지만 대기 중 $CO_2$의 증가와 식생분포 지역의 확대에도 불구하고 21세기 말 육상생태계의 순생태계흡수량은 크게 증가하지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 기온 상승이 크게 일어난 21세기 후반부터 토양 호흡의 급격한 증가로 인하여 육상생태계의 이산화탄소 흡수 능력은 감소한 것에 기인하였다. 향후 본 연구결과의 유의성을 확보하기 위해 다양한 모델의 자료를 추가할 필요가 있다. Shao et al. (2013)에 따르면 미래 탄소 흡수 전망에 있어 전 지구 및 위도별 모의 결과가 모델마다 매우 다양한데 이는 지면생태모형 간의 식생역학, 물리과정의 차이로 해석된다. 미래 육상생태계의 이산화탄소 흡수 능력의 변화와 기후변화를 보다 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 다른 모델의 자료를 이용한 불확실성을 정량화 하는 것이 필요하며 이는 전 지구 및 지역별 탄소 순환 이해를 높이는 데 기여할 것이다.

This study was carried out to identify the difference between nursing needs and levels of satisfaction of primiparae during the early postpartum period. The goal of the study was to obtain data needed to develope maternal education programs and to improve the nursing quality for primipara. The subjects were 111 primiparae who had normal delivery at 2 general hospitals in the Seoul area. The data was gathered using an 81 items questionnaire which was developed by the researcher from Nov. 30, 1995 to Feb. 5, 1996. Results found are as follows : 1. The characteristics of subjects : The majority of subjects were aged 26-30yrs(60.4%), high school graduated(49.5%), jobless(52.3%), had no religion(49.5%), no antenatal(74.5%), and postnatal education on self and infant care(55.9%). A large proportion of primiparae intended to feed breast milk(49.5%) but in fact only 7.2% fed breast milk while in the hospital. Many subjects perceived that they had reasonable self confidence about self care(46.8%), and infant care(36%). 2. The level of nursing needs of overall nursing care was relatively high(Mn 3.98) but the level of satisfaction was of average level(Mn 3.09). Therefore, difference between the level of nursing needs and satisfaction was significant(p=0.0001). 3. The nursing needs by category of nursing care the highest need was on the education of infant care(4.29), the lowest was on physical care(3.80). The level of satisfaction was higher on environmental care(3.40) and physical care(3.32). But the category that showed the lowest satisfaction was education of infant care(2.67). Hence, difference of categories between the level of nursing needs and satisfaction was significant(p=0.0001). 4. Among items of physical care, observation of primiparas' conditions(4.21), accurate medication and treatment(4.18), care of breast engorgement(4.07) and control of postpartal hemorrage(4.01) showed high nursing needs. On the other hand, only the level of satisfaction was higher on accurate medication and treatment(3.82). The rest of items revealed only average level of satisfactions. Difference of items between the level of nursing needs and satisfaction was significant(p=0.0001) except items of dietary care. 5. Among items of psychological care, 8 items of nursing needs were high(3.72-4.29), expecially detailed explanation on which mothers want to know(4.29), treatment and nursing care they receive(4.23), kind and faithful care(4.22), early contacts with their baby(4.20), and adequate draping during the care and treatment(4.18). Among items of psychological care higher satisfactions were shown on items of kind and faithful care(3.80), personal treatment(3.70), and detailed explanation to mothers, but the least satisfied items was early contact with baby(2.13). Difference between the level of nursing needs and satisfaction was significant(p=0.0001). 6. Among items of environmental care, the highest level of need and satisfaction was on the items of neat bedding and pajamas(3.54). The difference was significant (p=0.0001). 7. Among the items of educational needs on self care, all of 22 items revealed higher educational needs(3.50-4.33) but the levels of satisfaction varied with a range of 2.63-3.42. Among the items the satisfactions were high on items of breast care including massages(3.42), perineal care(3.36) and expression of breast milk(3.32). Less satisfied items were drugs not be taken by breast milk feeder(2.63), maintenance of breast figure(2.76) and postpartum exercise(2.80) and so on. The difference was significant(p=0.0001). maintain 8. Among the items of educational needs on infant care, 19 items revealed higher educational needs(3.28-4.54). And the highest need were on the 3 items of normal growth and development of infant, safety and emergency care, symptoms of sick(4.45) and the meaning of crying of the baby(4.52). The level of satisfaction among items of education of infant care ranged from 2.47 to 3.16. Most satisfied items were buriping(3.16), bathing(3.11) and diapering(3.09). The items of which the mother's needs were high revealed the lowest satisfaction level. The difference was significant (p=0.0001). 9. Relationship between nursing needs and levels of satisfaction among primiparae of different characteristics were as follows : 1) Nursing needs of physical and psychological areas were significantly different among different age levels but no relationship was found on other categories regardless of the level of satisfaction. 2) With regard to different levels of education, some relationship was found in nursing needs of psychological area(p=0.007), educational needs on infant care(p=0.04) and environmental care(p=0.01). Also, the difference of satisfaction level was significant. 3) Working mothers had higher nursing needs and were more satisfied on items of physical care(p=0.05), education on self care and infant care. Difference were significant between nursing needs and level of satisfaction. 4) With regards to different religion a moderate relation was found between nursing needs of environmental care infant care education but no relationship was found on levels of satisfaction. 5) With regards to antenatal education, the mothers who have had no antenatal education revealed higher nursing needs on physical care but those who had antenatal education were more satisfied with education on self care and infant care. The difference was significant. (p=0.0001). 6) With regards to postpartum education, the mothers who have had some sort of postpartum education revealed higher nursing needs on physical and self care. And they were more satisfied with nursing of every category except infant care than mothers who had not any postpartum education. Differences was significant between the nursing needs and levels of satisfaction.(p=0.0001). 7) With regards to breast feeding experience during the hospitalization, those who had no experience of breast feeding revealed higher nursing needs on physical care in contrast to breast feeders, who had higher educational needs on infant care. And breast feeder were more satisfied with all categories. Differences was significant(p=0.0001). 8) With regards to perception of self confidence on self care and infant care, no relationship was found on nursing needs and level of satisfaction in every category of nursing.

본 연구는 가시연꽃(Euryale ferox Salisbury)을 구성종으로 하는 연못의 식재기반 조성을 위한 기초자료 획득을 목적으로, 전라북도 내의 가시연꽃 자생지 14곳에 대한 문헌 및 현장조사를 통해 자생지 식물상과 식생환경에 대한 조사분석을 통해 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 가시연꽃 생육지 14곳의 전체 식물상은 79과 211속 298종 2아종 30변종 6품종으로 총 336분류군이 확인되었으며, 정수성 수생식물은 17분류군, 부엽성은 가시연꽃을 포함하여 7분류군, 부유성은 5분류군 그리고 침수성 수생식물은 2분류군으로 분류되었다. 수생식물만을 대상으로 한 유사도분석 결과, 가장 유사도가 높은 정읍 한성지와 고창 석남저수지에서는 가시연꽃 이외에 부엽성식물로 연꽃과 마름이 동일하게 서식하고 있다. 따라서 가시연꽃을 주소재로 한 연못 조성시 연과 마름은 동반식물로서 생태적 지위를 보이는 것으로 파악된다. 2. 생육형별 수생식물의 출현빈도를 살펴보면, 가시연꽃 이외에 정수성식물인 뚜껑덩굴과 갈대가 각각 11회 출현하여 78.6%의 높은 빈도를 보였으며 부엽성 수생식물인 마름이 10회(71.4%), 줄이 8회(57.1%) 출현하였다. 이밖에 고마리, 겨풀, 마름, 개구리자리, 물피, 매자기, 연꽃, 어리연꽃의 순으로 출현율이 높았다. 3. IUCN 평가기준에 따른 조사대상 가시연꽃 생육지에서 발견된 희귀식물은 가시연꽃과 함께 취약종(VU)인 통발, 이외에 약관심종(LC)인 새박, 자라풀, 물질경이 등 3분류군으로 도합 5분류군이 확인되어 가시연꽃 활용 연못시 도입이 가능한 희귀식물로 분류되었다. 4. 가시연꽃 자생지의 군락유형은 대부분 가시연꽃군락이었으며 군산의 대위저수지는 마름+가시연꽃+어리연꽃군락으로 정의하였다. 자생지별 가시연꽃의 녹피율은 0.03에서 36.50으로 상당히 큰 편차를 보였으며 평균 녹피율은 9.8로 계상됨에 따라 연못 조성시 가시연꽃의 녹피율을 10% 이하의 수준으로 유지하는 것이 합리적으로 판단된다. 5. 조사대상지별 가시연꽃 자생지와 인접한 식생군락으로는 나도겨풀군락 3개소, 마름군락과 줄군락이 각각 2개소, 연꽃군락, 어리연꽃+부들군락, 마름+연꽃군락, 자라풀군락, 나도겨풀+털물참새피군락 1개소 그리고 가시연꽃+마름군락 1개소 등으로 각 저수지마다 입지조건 등에 따라 다소의 차이를 보였다. 따라서 이러한 결과는 가시연꽃을 주요 구성종으로 하는 연못의 식재설계시 동반 부엽식물의 선정 및 식피율 배분에 반영해야 할 지침으로 제안한다.

RFID(Radio Frequency Identification)시스템은 하나의 RFDI리더, 다수의 RFID태그 장치들로 이루어진 비접촉방식의 근거리 무선 인식 기술이다. RFID태그는 자체적인 연산 수행이 가능한 능동형 태그와 이에 비해 성능은 떨어지지만 저렴한 가격으로 물류 유통에 적합한 수동형 태그로 나눌 수 있다. 데이터 처리 장치는 리더와 연결되어 리더가 전송받은 정보를 처리한다. RFID 시스템은 무선주파수를 이용해 다수의 태그를 빠른 시간에 인식할 수 있다. RFID시스템은 유통, 물류, 운송, 물품관리, 출입 통제, 금융 등 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 하지만 RFID시스템을 더욱 확산시키기 위해서는 가격, 크기, 전력소모, 보안 등 해결할 문제가 많다. 그 문제들 중에서 본 논문에서는 다수의 수동형 태그를 인식할 때 발생하는 충돌 문제를 해결하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. RFID 시스템에서 다수의 태그를 인식하기 위한 충돌 방지 기법에는 확률적인 방식과 결정적인 방식 그리고 이를 혼합한 하이브리드 방식이 있다. 본 논문에서는 우선 기존에 있던 확률적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 알로하 기반 프로토콜과 결정적 방식의 충돌방지기법인 트리 기반 프로토콜에 대해 소개한다. 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 시간을 슬롯 단위로 나누고 태그들이 각자 임의로 슬롯을 선택하여 자신의 ID를 전송하는 방식이다. 하지만 알로하 기반 프로토콜은 태그가 슬롯을 선택하는 것이 확률적이기 때문에 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장하지 못한다. 반면, 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더의 전송 범위 내에 있는 모든 태그를 인식하는 것을 보장한다. 트리 기반의 프로토콜은 리더가 태그에게 질의 하면 태그가 리더에게 응답하는 방식으로 태그를 인식한다. 리더가 질의 할 때, 두 개 이상의 태그가 응답 한다면 충돌이라고 한다. 충돌이 발생하면 리더는 새로운 질의를 만들어 태그에게 전송한다. 즉, 충돌이 자주 발생하면 새로운 질의를 자주 생성해야하기 때문에 속도가 저하된다. 그렇기 때문에 다수의 태그를 빠르게 인식하기 위해서는 충돌을 줄일 수 있는 효율적인 알고리즘이 필요하다. 모든 RFID태그는 96비트의 EPC(Electronic Product Code)의 태그ID를 가진다. 이렇게 제작된 다수의 태그들은 회사 또는 제조업체에 따라 동일한 프리픽스를 가진 유사한 태그ID를 가지게 된다. 이 경우 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용하여 다수의 태그를 인식 하는 경우 충돌이 자주 일어나게 된다. 그 결과 질의-응답 수는 증가하고 유휴 노드가 발생하여 식별 효율 및 속도에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 충돌 트리 프로토콜과 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜이 제안되었다. 하지만 충돌 트리 프로토콜은 쿼리 트리 프로토콜과 마찬가지로 한번에 1비트씩 밖에 인식을 못한다는 단점이 있다. 그리고 유사한 태그ID들이 다수 존재할 경우, M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜을 이용해 인식 하면, 불필요한 질의-응답이 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 M-ary 쿼리 트리 프로토콜의 매핑 함수를 이용한 m-비트 인식, 맨체스터 코딩을 이용한 태그 ID의 충돌정보, M-ary 쿼리 트리의 깊이를 하나 감소시킬 수 있는 예측 기법을 이용하여 성능을 향상시킨 적응형 M-ary 쿼리트리 프로토콜을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 트리기반의 프로토콜과 제안하는 기법을 동일한 조건으로 실험하여 비교 분석 하였다. 그 결과 제안하는 기법은 식별시간, 식별효율 등에서 다른 기법들보다 성능이 우수하다.

The current status of the application and interpretation of the Warsaw Convention and its subsequent Protocols in Asian countries is in its fredgling stages compared to the developed countries of Europe and North America, and there is thus little published information about the various Asian governments' treatment and courts' views of the Warsaw System. Due to that limitation, the accent of this paper will be on Korea and Japan. As one will be aware, the so-called 'Warsaw System' is made up of the Warsaw Convention of 1929, the Hague Protocol of 1955, the Guadalajara Convention of 1961, the Guatemala City Protocol of 1971 and the Montreal Additional Protocols Nos. 1,2,3 and 4 of 1975. Among these instruments, most of the countries in Asia are parties to both the Warsaw Convention and the Hague Protocol. However, the Republic of Korea and Mongolia are parties only to the Hague Protocol, while Burma, Indonesia and Sri Lanka are parties only to the Warsaw Convention. Thailand and Taiwan are not parties only to the convention or protocol. Among Asian states, Indonesia, the Phillipines and Pakistan are also parties to the Guadalajara Convention, but no country in Asia has signed the Guatemala City Protocol of 1971 or the Montreal Additional Protocols, which Protocols have not yet been put into force. The People's Republic of China has declared that the Warsaw Convention shall apply to the entire Chinese territory, including Taiwan. 'The application of the Warsaw Convention to one-way air carriage between a state which is a party only to the Warsaw Convention and a state which is a party only to the Hague Protocol' is of particular importance in Korea as it is a signatory only to the Hague Protocol, but it is involved in a great deal of air transportation to and from the united states, which in turn is a party only to the Warsaw Convention. The opinion of the Supreme Court of Korea appears to be, that parties to the Warsaw Convention were intended to be parties to the Hague Protocol, whether they actually signed it or not. The effect of this decision is that in Korea the United States and Korea will be considered by the courts to be in a treaty relationship, though neither State is a signatory to the same instrument as the other State. The first wrongful death claim in Korea related to international carriage by air under the Convention was made in Hyun-Mo Bang, et al v. Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. case. In this case, the plaintiffs claimed for damages based upon breach of contract as well as upon tort under the Korean Civil Code. The issue in the case was whether the time limitation provisions of the Convention should be applicable to a claim based in tort as well as to a claim based in contract. The Appellate Court ruled on 29 August 1983 that 'however founded' in Article 24(1) of the Convention should be construed to mean that the Convention should be applicable to the claim regardless of whether the cause of action was based in tort or breach of contract, and that the plaintiffs' rights to damages had therefore extinguished because of the time limitation as set forth in Article 29(1) of the Convention. The difficult and often debated question of what exactly is meant by the words 'such default equivalent to wilful misconduct' in Article 25(1) of the Warsaw Convention, has also been litigated. The Supreme Court of Japan dealt with this issue in the Suzuki Shinjuten Co. v. Northwest Airlines Inc. case. The Supreme Court upheld the Appellate Court's ruling, and decided that 'such default equivalent to wilful misconduct' under Article 25(1) of the Convention was within the meaning of 'gross negligence' under the Japanese Commercial Code. The issue of the convention of the 'franc' into national currencies as provided in Article 22 of the Warsaw Convention as amended by the Hague Protocol has been raised in a court case in Korea, which is now before the District Court of Seoul. In this case, the plaintiff argues that the gold franc equivalent must be converted in Korean Won in accordance with the free market price of gold in Korea, as Korea has not enacted any law, order or regulation prescribing the proper method of calculating the equivalent in its national currency. while it is unclear if the court will accept this position, the last official price of gold of the United States as in the famous Franklin Mint case, Special Drawing Right(SDR) or the current French franc, Korean Air Lines has argued in favor of the last official price of gold of the United States by which the air lines converted such francs into us Dollars in their General Conditions of Carriage. It is my understanding that in India, an appellate court adopted the free market price valuation. There is a report as well saying that if a lawsuit concerning this issue were brought in Pakistan, the free market cost of gold would be applied there too. Speaking specifically about the future of the Warsaw System in Asia though I have been informed that Thailand is actively considering acceding to the Warsaw Convention, the attitudes of most Asian countries' governments towards the Warsaw System are still wnot ell known. There is little evidence that Asian countries are moving to deal concretely with the conversion of the franc into their own local currencies. So too it cannot be said that they are on the move to adhere to the Montreal Additional Protocols Nos. 3 & 4 which attempt to basically solve many of the current problems with the Warsaw System, by adopting the SDR as the unit of currency, by establishing the carrier's absolute liability and an unbreakable limit and by increasing the carrier's passenger limit of liability to SDR 100,000, as well as permiting the domestic introduction of supplemental compensation. To summarize my own sentiments regarding the future, I would say that given the fact that Asian air lines are now world leaders both in overall size and rate of growth, and the fact that both Asian individuals and governments are becoming more and more reliant on the global civil aviation networks as their economies become ever stronger, I am hopeful that Asian nations will henceforth play a bigger role in ensuring the orderly and hasty development of a workable unified system of rules governing international commercial air carriage.

중국 애니메이션의 역사에서 문화대혁명은 초기 애니메이션의 발전을 저해하고 이후 중국 애니메이션의 성장이 저조해지는 데 원인을 제공한 계기로서 부정적으로 평가된다. 따라서 이 시기 애니메이션 작품들은 학술 연구의 대상으로 분석되거나 연구되는 일이 거의 없이 일률적으로 평가절하되었다. 그러나 모든 문화예술의 창작은 특정한 역사적 조건 속에서 발전하며 그 나름의 미학적 성과를 지닌다. 본고는 문화대혁명 시기의 문화예술 창작을 주도했던 미학 원칙들을 고찰하고 해당 시기의 중국 애니메이션이 거둔 성과를 객관적인 관점에서 파악하려는 데 일차적인 목적을 둔다. 문화대혁명은 무산계급의 문화를 부각시킨다는 마오쩌둥의 사회주의 이데올로기에 따라 이전 시기까지의 문화예술을 지양하고 새로운 계급 문화를 창조하는 데 목적을 두었다. 따라서 이 시기의 문화예술 창작은 우리가 일반적으로 수용하는 미학 원칙과 어긋나는 부분이 많으며 비문자적이고 반엘리트적인 특성을 지닌다. 모범극은 문화대혁명 시기 문화예술의 미학 원칙을 모범적으로 구현한 창작물로 손꼽히며 문화대혁명 시기의 중국 애니메이션이 지향했던 미학 원칙들을 이해하는 데 참조가 된다. 본고는 삼돌출(三突出), 홍광량(紅光亮), 고대전(高大全)이라는 문화대혁명 시기의 미학 원칙이 구체적인 작품 속에서 어떻게 반영되고 있는지, 문화대혁명 시기 애니메이션은 이러한 미학 원칙을 어떻게 수용하고 나름의 방식으로 적응했는지 확인하기 위해 모범극과 문화대혁명 시기 중국 애니메이션의 상관관계에 대해 비교 연구하는 데 중점을 두었다. 먼저 모범극과 중국 애니메이션의 유사성을 중심으로 문화대혁명 시기의 미학 원칙이 작품 속에서 어떻게 구현되고 있는지 분석한 뒤, 분석 내용에 따라 이러한 미학 원칙이 중국 애니메이션의 창작에 끼친 긍정적인 영향과 부정적인 영향을 중립적으로 서술하였다. 구체적인 분석과 비교 고찰 과정에서는 크게 캐릭터와 장면 연출의 두 가지 측면에서 접근을 시도하였다. 캐릭터의 측면에서 문화대혁명 시기의 중국 애니메이션은 어린 소년, 소녀를 주인공으로 내세워 바람직한 공농병(工農兵) 형상을 부각시키기 위해 붉은 입술과 홍조를 띤 뺨을 강조해 건강함을 강조하고, 매끈한 질감과 정교한 터치로 반짝이는 느낌을 강조하며, 깔끔하고 선명한 색채로 빛나는 색감을 강조하는 '홍광량'의 원칙을 구현하는 데 치중하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 장면 연출의 측면에서 문화대혁명 시기의 애니메이션은 소수의 안타고니스트에 비해 다수의 프로타고니스트를 강조하고, 다수의 프로타고니스트 가운데서도 뛰어난 영웅 인물들을 강조하며, 또 뛰어난 영웅 인물들 가운데서도 주요한 영웅 인물을 강조하는 '삼돌출'의 단계별 연출 방식을 사용하였다. 또한 영웅 인물은 일반적으로 로우앵글로 찍음으로써 높고 크고 완벽한 모습으로 연출해 '고대전'의 미학 원칙을 충실히 구현하고자 하였다.

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.
