  • 동적 통행배정모형에서 주로 사용되는 링크 통행비용함수가 현실상황을 제대로 표현하지 못함에 따라, 최근 교통류의 특성을 현실적으로 묘사할 수 있는 여러 형태의 교통류모형(Traffic model)들이 제시되고 있다. 현재까지 개발된 모형들을 차량의 동적 움직임을 표현하는 가장 특징적인 요소인 교통류 전파(flow propagation) 과정에 따라 구분하면 교통량-통행시간(Flow-travel time)간의 관계를 명시적인 함수 형태로 사용하는 경우 (Functional approach)와 Cell transmission model이나 개별차량 또는 몇 개의 차량을 1개의 그룹으로 묶은 미시적인 패킷(package)에 기초한 시뮬레이션 형태로 표현하는 경우로(Non-functional approach) 나눌 수 있다. 그러나 함수형태의 비용함수는 여러 연구에서 실제 차량의 행태를 묘사하는 데에는 한계가 있음을 보여주고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 차량의 통행시간을 패킷기초의 시뮬레이션으로 묘사하는 기법을 개발하는 데, 수직형 대기행렬모형(Vertical queue model 또는 Point Queue model)으로 개발한다. 개발된 모형의 동적 교통류 표현능력을 검토하기 위하여 교통류의 전파를 시간 종속적으로 재현하는 시뮬레이션 부하기법(Simulation loading algorithm)을 개발하고 개발된 모형을 상용 프로그램과 비교한다. 본 연구에서는 교통류의 기본 변수인 교통량-속도-밀도간의 관계와 통행시간간의 관계를 살펴본다. 분석결과, 미시적모형에 비해 상대적으로 간단한 전파규칙(propagation rule)을 사용함에도 불구하고 현실적인 교통류에서 나타나는 중요한 특성들을 모두 확인할 수 있었다.FA비율에 있어서 D$_2$, D$_3$, D$_{6}$이 D$_1$에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났지만 D$_1$, D$_4$, D$_{5}$, D$_{7}$, 실험구간 그리고 D$_2$-D$_{7}$, 실험구간 사이에서는 각각 유의적인 차이가 없었다(P<0.05). DHA/EPA의 비율에 있어서 D$_{7}$이 유의적으로 높았으며, D$_{5}$가 유의적으로 낮았다(P<0.05). 상기의 결과를 토대로, 성장과 전어체내 지방산조성에 있어서 뱀장어 치어의 사료내 EPA와 DHA의 첨가효과 미약한 것으로 판단되며, 사료내 LNA (n-3)와 LA(n-6) HUFA을 각각 0.35%, 0.65% 첨가했을 때 WG, SGR, FE, PER이 가장 높았으나, 이전의 실험(Takeuchi, 1980)과 동일한 수준인 n-3와 n-6를 각각 0.5%씩 첨가한 실험구와는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이렇게 볼 때, 뱀장어 치어의 필수지방산은 LNA (n-3), LA (n-6)이고, 그 적정수준은 각각 0.35-0.5%, 0.5-0.65%임을 보여준다.George W, Bush)가 새로운 지도자로 취임하여 얼마 되지 않은 2001년 9월 11일 사상 초유로 본토에서 알 카에다 테러리스트 조직에 의해 공격받게 되었다. 뉴욕의 세계무역센터 빌딩 2개가 완전히 붕괴되고, 펜타곤에 민간 여객기가 충돌하여 많은 사람이 살상 당하고, 전체적으로 세계 80여 개국으로부터의 6천여 명이 살상되었다. 전 세계와 미국은

  • 본 연구에서는 한국형 지하수 프로그램 개발(3-DFM, 3-Dimensional Finite Difference Method)을 위하여 대수층에 있어 지형 지질상태가 지하수유동시스템내에서 동적거동을 하는 것으로 취급하여 유동과정의 알고리즘을 확립토록 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 3-DFM모델은 입력변수 자료에 대한 설정이 모두 한글로 구성되어 있으며, 각 입력자료와 매개변수들의 이해와 적용치에 대한 도움말을 설정하여 두었다. 따라서, 입력변수에 대해서는 아이콘을 입력변수에 두면 각각에 대한 상세한 정보를 알 수 있도록 설계하였다. 또한, 각 지층의 지질경계 상태나 초기수위자료를 지정할 때는 work sheet상에서 간단히 지정할 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 그리고 각 대수층의 특성과 더불어 정류 및 부정류 해석시에 각 매개변수들에 대한 입력은 기존의 모델과 같이 복잡하지 않도록 활성칸이 설정되도록 설계되어 있다. 최종 입력자료를 이용한 분석결과에서는 우측에 입력자료에 대하여 설명과 더불어 좌측에 분석 결과치를 나타나게 하였으며 이에 대한 결과는 TXT파일로도 출력할 수 있도록 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 모델은 유한차분법을 이용한 수치모델이며, 실제 함양량을 적용하고 매개변수들을 결정하여 관측 지하수두치와 모의발생으로 얻은 계산 지하수두치를 비교 분석하여 개발모델의 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 세화리 및 송당리일대의 양수에 따른 지하수 유동시스템 해석을 위하여 3-DFM모델을 적용 분석한 결과, 정류상태에서 따른 관측치와 계산된 지하수두와의 상대오차백분율(E.P.)이 $0.03{\sim}0.07$의 범위로서 관측치와 거의 일치하였다. 그리고 분석유역의 양수 전의 모의발생분석 결과를 이용하여 지하등수두분포와 유속벡터를 산정한 결과 지하수 유동분포는 높은오름과 문석이오름 등에서 월랑봉, 용눈이오름 및 손자봉 등 각 방향으로 고르게 유출되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과는 MODFLOW모델과 비교할 때 일치된 결과를 나타내었다.

  • 내진설계에 이용되는 지반진동과 관련된 주요 입력자료는 지진재해도 및 지반 응답스펙트럼 등이 있고 이러한 지진재해도 및 지반 응답스펙트럼을 평가하기 위하여 지역특성에 고유한 감쇠식이 필수적이다. 지역특성에 적합한 지반진동 감쇠식의 계수를 결정하기 위해 지진원 변수 및 지진파 전달특성 변수가 반드시 필요하고 본 논문에서는 지진원 변수 및 지진파 전달특성 변수를 평가하였다. 지진원 변수 및 지진파 전달특성 변수는 관측 지반 지진동에 대해 비선형적인 지배방정식을 이루고 있는 모델을 이용하였다. 이러한 비선형 지배방정식에 대한 수치해석 알고리즘을 통하여 지진원 변수 및 지진파 전달특성 변수 전체를 동시에 구하였다. 지반진동 자료는 주로 한반도 동남부 지역에서 발생하여 경상분지 주변 관측망에서 관측된 지반진동 자료를 이용하였다. 분석결과에 의하면 3개 지진원의 모멘트 지진규모(Mw)는 각각 2.9, 3.1 및 3.2로 분석되었다. 또한 3개 지진원의 코너 주파수는 각각 8.2, 6.9 및 8.3 Hz로 분석되었다. 그리고 지각 심부의 비탄성 감쇠율(Qo) 및 주파수 지수값 (${\eta}$)은 약 211 및 0.63으로 평가되었다. 지각 천부의 비탄성 감쇠율(${\kappa}$)은 각각의 관측소에서 약 0.02에서 약 0.06의 범위의 값을 가지고 있는 것으로 평가하였다. 결론적으로 하부지각 및 상부 지각의 비탄성 감쇠율 값을 미국 중동부와 서부와 비교할 경우 미국의 서부지역과 유사한 값을 보여주었다. 또한 지진원의 특성도 응력강하값 만을 고려한다면 역시 미국의 서부지역과 유사한 값을 보여주었다.TEX>의 범위로서 관측치와 거의 일치하였다. 그리고 분석유역의 양수 전의 모의발생분석 결과를 이용하여 지하등수두분포와 유속벡터를 산정한 결과 지하수 유동분포는 높은오름과 문석이오름 등에서 월랑봉, 용눈이오름 및 손자봉 등 각 방향으로 고르게 유출되고 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석결과는 MODFLOW모델과 비교할 때 일치된 결과를 나타내었다.기 등 벼 생육의 질적인 변화를 보이는 시기에 따라 나누어 분석하는 것이 변화추이를 더 잘 설명하는 것으로 나타났다. 모든 군에서 법랑질에 대한 광중합 복합레진의 미세전단 결합강도는 화학중합 복합레진보다 통계학적으로 높게 나타났다 (p < 0.05). 4. 모든 접착제와 법랑질 계면은 긴밀한 접합을 나타내어 화학중합 복합레진과 접착제 간에 비적합성이 나타나지 않았다.이를 나타내었다.

FE-SEM 관찰에서 B-IM 군은 매우 평활한 복합레진 표면을 나타내었고, B-8 군은 전체적으로 평활한 복합레진 표면을 보였지만 표면에 수직으로 아주 얕은 흠집을 나타내었다. B-15 군은 복합레진 표면의 중앙에서 B-8군보다 더 넓고 불규칙한 수직의 흠집을 나타내었고, B-18군은 복합레진 표면 전체에 넓은 흠집을 나타내었다.교적 낮은 농도의 영양염류를 가지고 있고, 많은 처리수량을 요구하는 부영양화된 저수지의 수질개선을 위해서는 높은 수리학적 부하조건에서 시간당 정화량을 늘리는 관리방법이

  • 최근의 방사선 치료선량 계획시스템은 대체로 커널빔을 컨볼루션하여 조직선량을 구하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 광자선 빔에 따른 심부선량과 임의의 깊이에서 프로파일 선량을 구하기 위하여 반복적 수치해석을 통해 투과 필터에 의한 감쇠선량으로부터 에너지 스펙트럼을 구성하였다. 실험은 15 MV X선(Oncor, Siemens사)과 이온선량계 0.125 cc (PTW T31010)을 이용하여 납필터를 투과한 선량을 측정하여 이루어졌다. 15 MV X선의 에너지스펙트럼은 0.25 MeV 간격으로 납필터 0.51 cm에서 8.04 cm의 감쇠선량으로 실측치와 비교하여 구하였다. 실험 연산에서 15 MV X선의 최대유량은 3.75 MeV에서 나타났으며, 평균에너지는 4.639 MeV를 보였으며, 투과선량은 평균 0.6%의 오차인 반면에 최대오차는 납두께 5 cm에서 2.5%를 보였다. 조직선량은 에너지에 크게 의존하므로, 평탄형 필터의 중심과 Tangent 0.075와 0.125인 가장자리의 에너지를 구하였으며, 각각 4.211 MeV와 3.906 MeV로 나타났다. 심부선량과 프로파일 선량은 상업화로 공급되고 있는 선량계획시스템에 중심 선속과 가장자리의 각 에너지스펙트럼을 적용하여 구하여 실측선량률과 비교하였다. 생성된 심부선량 곡선은 조사면 $6{\times}6cm^2$에서 $30{\times}30cm^2$까지 실측치와 비교한 결과 1% 이내의 거의 일치하는 값을 얻었으며, 프로파일 곡선은 $10{\times}10cm^2$에서 1% 이내의 오차를 보였으나, $30{\times}30cm^2$와 같이 큰 조사면의 얕은 깊이에서는 2%의 오차를 보였다. 따라서 투과선량을 연산으로 구한 에너지 스펙트럼이 조직선량을 평가하는 데 상당히 적은 오차범위 내에서 정량적이고 정성적으로 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

  • 황해 남동부 해역에 설치한 해양부이(YSROB)에서 약 27개월간 관측된 장파, 단파 복사량을 포함한 대기, 해양 변수와 COARE 3.0 알고리즘을 이용하여 월평균 해양-대기간 열속을 산출하고 기존 연구결과와 비교하였다. YSROB 위치에서 열속은 순 단파복사(Qi)에 의해 해양은 대기로부터 열을 얻고 순 장파복사($Q_b$), 현열($Q_h$), 잠열($Q_e$)에 의해서 열손실이 일어난다. 전체 열손실 중 $Q_e$에 의한 손실이 51%로 가장 크게 나타났으며 $Q_b$$Q_h$에 의한 손실은 각각 34%, 15% 이다. 순열속($Q_n$)은 $Q_i$가 최대인 5월에 최대($191.4W/m^2$)이며 모든 열속 성분이 최소인 12월에 최소($-264.9W/m^2$)이다. 연평균 $Q_n$$1.9W/m^2$ 이지만 관측기기의 정확도에 의한 오차산정 결과(최대 ${\pm}19.7W/m^2$)를 고려하면 무시할 정도로 작다. YSROB과 동일한 위치에서의 기존 월별 열속 산출 결과는 YSROB에서 실측값에 기반한 열속에 비해 여름철 $Q_i$가 약 $10{\sim}40W/m^2$ 과소 평가된 반면에 겨울철에는 $Q_e$$Q_h$에 의한 열 손실이 각각 약 $50W/m^2$, $30{\sim}70W/m^2$ 과다하게 산출되었다. 이로 인하여 해양이 열을 얻는 4월~8월에는 기존 연구에서의 열 획득량이 본 연구 결과보다 적게 나타나며, 해양이 열을 잃는 겨울철에는 기존 연구에서의 해양으로부터의 열 손실이 본 연구 결과에 비해 크게 나타난다. 특히, 12월과 1월의 $Q_n$ 차이는 약 $70{\sim}130W/m^2$에 달한다. 장기적인 재분석장(MERRA) 분석 결과에 의하면 이와 같은 월평균 열속의 차이는 연변동 등 시간 변동에 의한 것이 아니라 열속 산출 시 사용된 자료의 부정확성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구 결과로부터 기존의 기후적인 열속을 연구에 활용하거나 수치모델에 사용함에 있어 주의가 요망된다.

  • 조사비용이 비교적 소요되더라도 추정해의 정확도를 높이기 위해 링크교통량과 target OD 외에 추가정보를 확보하여 OD추정을 하는 연구들이 시도되고 있다. 그러나 추가정보를 이용한 기존 OD추정기법은 대부분 추가정보의 특성 또는 장점을 유지하는 목적함수 구성 및 분석을 수행하지 못하여, 확보된 정보를 효율적으로 이용하지 못하는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 관측교통량과 target OD외에 비용효율적인 추가정보를 이용하여 가능해의 범위를 좁힘으로써 추정OD의 정확도를 증진하는 것으로, 이를 위해 표본링크이용비(sample link use proportion)를 추가정보로 이용하였다. 즉 OD통행량과 링크교통량과의 관계를 target OD의 통행배분에서 구하지 않고, 도로변 면접조사에서 확보가능하며 신뢰성 높은 정보인 표본링크이용비를 이용하여 구하였다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 경로기반 비균형 통행배분개념 하에서 링크교통량 보존법칙을 고려할 필요가 없는 OD추정 해도출 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 시험네트워크에 대한 사례분석결과, 표본링크이용비는 추가정보의 정확도가 낮은 경우에도 효율적으로 OD 추정력을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 그리고 표본링크이용비를 이용한 OD 추정기법은 target OD 오차나 관측교통량 오차에 크게 영향을 받지 않아, 링크교통량이나 OD 행렬이 변화된 곳에서도 비교적 안정적인 OD 추정이 가능하였다. 또한 표본링크이용비를 추가정보로 이용할 경우에 이용정보간의 정밀도문제가 발생하기 때문에 다른 이용정보의 정밀도 수준을 고려하여 추가정보의 조사수준을 설정하여야 하며, 관측교통량을 기본정보로 하는 추정기법은 링크교통량을 일정수준까지는 관측하여야 추가정보의 자료활용성을 높일 수 있다는 점을 제시하였다. 마지막으로 링크상의 추가정보는 최적조사위치문제를 고려하여야 하며, 특히 정보의 정밀도 측면에서 볼 때 링크교통량의 최적관측위치문제보다 표본링크이용비의 최적조사위치문제가 추정력 향상에 더 중요한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

  • 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 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 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.

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.

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.

  • 지난 십년동안 인터넷을 통한 전자상거래는 빠른 속도로 성장해 왔다. 이러한 인터넷의 발달은 기업들의 사업방식에 많은 변화를 유도했으며, 그 중에서도 마케팅경로의 구조와 경로 구성원들 사이의 관계에 중요한 변화를 초래하고 있다. 각 기업이 처한 시장환경은 다양하며 이 다양한 시장 환경은 인터넷 경로가 각 시장에 미치는 효과를 조절하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 시장의 다양성에도 불구하고 지금까지의 선행연구들은 각기 특정한 하나의 시장상황(unique setting)을 상정하여 인터넷경로 도입이 그 시장에 미치는 영향을 분석하는데 그쳐왔다. 이러한 기존 연구의 공백을 채우기 위해 본 연구는 시장의 다양성을 소비자의 지리적 분포, 시장의 인터넷 수용도의 측면에서 살펴보고 이러한 시장 환경이 인터넷 경로 도입 효과에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사해 보고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 다양한 소비자들의 지리적 분포, 경쟁강도, 소비자의 인터넷 상거래에 대한 수용도 등을 포함한 다양한 시장 환경을 수요모형에 반영시켜 그 영향력 분석을 가능하도록 하였다. 그러나, 다양한 시장 요소를 모형에 반영하는 과정에서 수요모형이 복잡한 구조를 가지게 되었다. 이 문제를 극복하고 게임이론의 균형해를 도출하기 위해 Newton-Raphson algorithm을 사용한 numerical search 방법을 사용하였다. 분석결과 두 종류의 경로에 대한 소비자선호의 분포에 따라 생산자의 가격차별정도, 생산자와 독립소매상 간의 경로이윤 배분율, 그리고 인터넷경로 도입이 각 경로주체의 이윤 향상에 도움이 되는지의 여부, 소비자잉여 등이 달라질 수 있음을 발견하였다. 끝으로 연구의 학술적, 실무적 시사점과 한계점 및 향후 연구방향도 논의되었다.

  • 인터넷 기술과 소셜 미디어의 빠른 성장으로 인하여, 구조화되지 않은 문서 표현도 다양한 응용 프로그램에 사용할 수 있게 마이닝 기술이 발전되었다. 그 중 감성분석은 제품이나 서비스에 내재된 사용자의 감성을 탐지할 수 있는 분석방법이기 때문에 지난 몇 년 동안 많은 관심을 받아왔다. 감성분석에서는 주로 텍스트 데이터를 이용하여 사람들의 감성을 사전 정의된 긍정 및 부정의 범주를 할당하여 분석하며, 이때 사전 정의된 레이블을 이용하기 때문에 다양한 방향으로 연구가 진행되고 있다. 초기의 감성분석 연구에서는 쇼핑몰 상품의 리뷰 중심으로 진행되었지만, 최근에는 블로그, 뉴스기사, 날씨 예보, 영화 리뷰, SNS, 주식시장의 동향 등 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 많은 선행연구들이 진행되어 왔으나 대부분 전통적인 단일 기계학습기법에 의존한 감성분류를 시도하였기에 분류 정확도 면에서 한계점이 있었다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 기계학습기법 대신 대용량 데이터의 처리에 우수한 성능을 보이는 딥러닝 기법과 딥러닝 중 CNN과 LSTM의 조합모델을 이용하여 감성분석의 분류 정확도를 개선하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 영화 리뷰 데이터셋인 IMDB의 리뷰 데이터 셋을 이용하여, 감성분석의 극성분석을 긍정 및 부정으로 범주를 분류하고, 딥러닝과 제안하는 조합모델을 활용하여 극성분석의 예측 정확도를 개선하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이 과정에서 여러 매개 변수가 존재하기 때문에 그 수치와 정밀도의 관계에 대해 고찰하여 최적의 조합을 찾아 정확도 등 감성분석의 성능 개선을 시도한다. 연구 결과, 딥러닝 기반의 분류 모형이 좋은 분류성과를 보였으며, 특히 본 연구에서 제안하는 CNN-LSTM 조합모델의 성과가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
