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.

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.

연구배경: 만성폐질환자가 일상생활에서 느끼는 호흡곤란정도, 안정상태에서 시행된 폐기능검사 및 심폐운동검사사이에 어떤 관계가 있는지, 안정시 폐기능검사와 심폐운동검사가 호흡곤란의 정도를 잘 반영하는지 등을 연구하고자 만성폐질환자에서 기초호흡곤란지수, 안정시 폐기능검사 및 심폐운동능력을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 연구방법: 최근 2개월내에 악화되지 않은 만성폐질환자 50명을, 기존의 안정시 폐기능검사 및 증상 제한적 심폐운동검사결과를 이용하는 폐기능손상/장애 평가기준과 baseline dyspnea index의 초점점수에 따라 저자들이 임의로 정한 기준으로 비중증군과 중증군으로 분류후 각 군간의 안정시 폐기능검사, 심폐운동검사, 초점점수를 비교하였으며, 각 기준의 상호 민감도 및 특이도를 비교하였다. 연구결과: 안정시 폐기능검사치상 중증군에서 max WR(%), $VO_2$max, $VO_2$max(%) 및 초점 점수가 유의하게 낮았고(p<0.01), $VO_2$max으로 구분하였을 때는 중증군에서 안정시 폐기능검사치 중 $FEV_1$(%)만 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). Max WR, max WR(%) 및 초점 접수는 중증군에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01) $VO_2$max(%)이 60% 미만인 경우를 중증군으로 하였을 때 $FEV_1$, $FEV_1$(%), MVV(%), max WR와 max WR(%), 초점 점수 등이 중증군에서 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 초점 점수의 중위수 혹은 5점보다 낮은 경우를 중증군으로 분류하였을 때, 중증군에서 안정시 폐기능치들은 비중증군과 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05), max WR와 max WR(%), $VO_2$max와 $VO_2$max(%)는 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). 초점점수와 $VO_2$max의 상관계수는 0.51(p<0.01), $VO_2$max(%)은 0.52(p<0.01)이었으며, 안정시 폐기능 검사치 중 $FEV_1$(%)은 0.41(p<0.01)였다. 초점 점수의 $VO_2$max에 대한 결정계수는 0.26(p=0.0002)였고, $VO_2$max(%)에 대한 결정계수는 0.06(p=0.0001)였다. $FEV_1$은 각각 0.08(p=0.01), 0.38(p=0.0189)였다. 안정시 폐기능검사치 $VO_2$max, $VO_2$max(%)를 기준으로 중증 폐기능손상을 구분하였을 때 선택기준에 따라 민감도와 특이도가 차이가 있었고, 초점 점수의 중위수 및 5점을 기준으로 중증 폐기능 손상을 분류했을 때의 민감도 및 특이도와 큰 차이가 없었다. 결 론: 이상과 같은 결과로 안정시 폐기능검사만으로는 $VO_2$max를 정확하게 예측하기 힘들며, 특별한 금기사항이 없는 한 안정시 폐기능검사상 정상 혹은 경미한 손상을 보이는 환자뿐만 아니라 중증손상을 보이는 환자에서도 심폐운동검사를 시행하여 폐기능 손상 평가의 정확도를 높이는 것이 좋을 것으로 여겨지며, 폐기능 손상평가의 기존 기준들에 호흡곤란정도를 반영할 수 있을 것으로 여겨진다.

세계가 급변하고 시시각각 발전하는 기술 속에서 전시 산업은 국가와 기업의 중요한 홍보 수단으로 부각되고 있다. 특히, 전시회에 참여하는 참여업체는 상품 또는 서비스를 전시하고 메시지를 전달하기 위해 마련된 개별 전시공간을 통해 기업들과 소비자들에게 단기간에 신제품과 신기술에 대한 정보를 제공할 수 있으며 국내외 시장의 욕구와 추세변화 및 경쟁업체들에 대한 정보를 파악할 수 있다. 참여업체들은 이러한 참가 목적의 달성을 위해 다양한 프로모션을 계획하고 실행하며 프로모션 정보를 참관객에게 실시간으로 제공할 수 있는 스마트 전시 환경의 구축은 이전보다 다양한 프로모션 기법의 적용 및 실행을 가능하게 하였다. 하지만, 이러한 스마트 전시 환경의 발전에도 불구하고 현재 실행되고 있는 프로모션은 참관객의 욕구나 목표에 대한 이해가 부족한 상태에서 무차별적인 매스마케팅 형태로 진행되어 그 본래의 목적을 상실하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 참여업체의 차별화된 프로모션의 계획과 실행을 위해 기존에 널리 사용되는 마케팅 기법인 STP 전략의 프로세스를 도입하여 스마트 전시 환경에서 프로모션에 적합한 참관객을 자동적으로 선정하여 프로모션 정보를 제공하는 시스템을 제안하였다. 특히, 본 연구에서는 다음과 같은 스마트 전시회의 특성을 고려한다. 먼저, 전시회는 전시업체가 관람객과 상호작용하기 위해 모인 일시적이고 시간에 민감한 시장이다. 따라서, 불충분한 기존 참관객의 정보를 이용하는 것이 아닌 신규 참관객 분석의 관점에서 서비스를 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 두 번째로, 스마트 전시 환경에서는 참관객의 정보를 실시간으로 획득할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면에 데이터의 분석 및 서비스의 제공이 실시간으로 이루어져야 한다. 마지막으로, 참관객이 스마트 전시 환경에서 만들어 내는 데이터를 활용하는 기법이 필요하다. 스마트 전시 환경에서는 유용한 데이터를 실시간으로 획득할 수 있어 참관객이 전시회 내에서 하는 활동을 분석하는 행위적 세분화에 근거한 접근방식이 필요하다. 이러한 특성을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 제안한 시스템을 실제 전시회에 파일럿 시스템 형태로 적용하여 참관객을 실시간으로 분류 및 분석하고 각 메시지에 대한 성과를 측정하는 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 전시 참관객의 행동 패턴을 4가지로 분류하여 각 군집별 특성을 프로모션 메시지의 성과로 측정하여 그에 적합한 프로모션 전략을 도출하였다. 이러한 프로모션 전략은 실제 전시 참여업체의 프로모션 기획 및 실행에 중요한 전략적 도구로 사용되어 프로모션 성과를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

목적: CT기반 감쇠보정 영상의 표준섭취계수(Standard Uptake Value:SUV)가 $^{137}Cs$ 기반 감쇠보정 영상의 SUV보다 높다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 오차가 생기는 원인을 밝히고자 감쇠계수가 정확하게 변환되었는지 여부를 관심영역 분석을 통하여 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법: Philips GEMINI PET/CT는 X-ray CT (평균 40 keV) 혹은 $^{137}Cs$ (662 keV) 투과영상을 감쇠보정에 이용하는데 GEMINI PET/CT에서 사용하는 각각 선원의 에너지는 511 keV에서 얻은 감쇠계수와 틀리기 때문에 스캐너 내부에 장착된 감쇠계수 변환 알고리즘을 이용하여 511 keV에 해당하는 감쇠계수 값으로 변환된 감쇠지도를 사용하므로 감쇠계수의 변환이 정확하게 이루어졌는지 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 각각의 실험과정은 다음과 같다. 먼저 시스템 성능평가 팬텀 CT 투과 영상을 사용하여 Hounsfield units (HU)값을 측정하였다. 다음으로 NEMA 타원형 ECT 팬텀의 CT, $^{137}Cs$ 투과영상을 얻어 $^{68}Ge$ 투과선원을 장착한 Siemens ECAT EXACT 47 PET 스캐너에서 얻은 팬텀 투과 영상과 비교하여 감쇠계수가 511 keV에 해당하는 감쇠계수로 잘 변환되었는지 측정하였고 Gammex 467 electron density CT 팬텀의 CT, $^{137}Cs$ 투과영상에서 관심영역 분석을 하여 다양한 전자밀도 값에 대한 감쇠계수 변환의 정확성을 평가하였다. 또, 재구성한 영상에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 정상 및 병적 조직에서 CT, $^{137}Cs$ 기반 감쇠계수와 표준섭취계수를 비교하였다. 결과: CT에서 측정한 HU는 신뢰할 수 있는 값임을 확인하였으나 전자밀도와 원자번호가 큰 영역에서 CT 기반 감쇠계수에 오차가 있었는데 NEMA 타원형 ECT 팬텀 실험결과에 의하면 뼈 영역에서 오차는 11%이었다. 임상데이터에서도 마찬가지로 CT를 이용하여 얻은 감쇠계수가 $^{137}Cs$을 이용하여 얻은 감쇠계수보다 낮았고 전자밀도와 원자번호가 큰 영역에서 오차가 컸다. 그러나, 표준섭취계수는 $^{137}Cs$를 사용하여 감쇠보정을 한 영상의 값이 CT를 이용하여 감쇠보정을 한 값보다 오히려 낮았고 표준섭취계수의 백분율 차이는 $6.6{\sim}52.7%$이었다. 결론: CT의 HU가 정확함에도 불구하고 뼈 영역에서 CT 투과영상을 기반으로 한 감쇠계수의 변환이 부정확하고 CT 및 $^{137}Cs$ 투과영상을 기반으로 얻은 표준 섭취계수에 차이가 있으므로 이에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

최근 지구온난화에 따른 이상기상 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있으며 배추 등 일부 채소작물의 저온 및 고온 등으로 인하여 생산량에 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이러한 이상기상 조건 발생시 사전에 생산량을 예측하면 수급을 조절하는데 효과적이라 판단된다. 따라서 본 실험은 기상이변에 따른 봄배추의 생육량을 추정하기 위하여 정식시기와 질소시비량을 달리하여 생육인자간 상관계수를 도출하였다. 그 결과, 정식시기별 최종 생육은 4월 15일과 4월 22일 정식 처리에서 건물중이 각각 168g과 139g으로 타 시기에 비해 높았으며, 질소처리에 따른 차이는 없었다. 기후인자 온도, 일사량, GDD, 그리고 생육인자 엽수, 지상부생체중, 지상부건물중 등의 편상관분석 결과, 유의성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. GDD와 엽수, GDD와 지상부 건물중의 분포를 측정한 결과, 질소시비 수준에 따른 차이는 없었으며, 3차함수로 다항회귀식을 구한 결과, 엽수$(y)=-0.0000004x^3+0.0004x^2+0.0225x+5.4045$($R^2$=0.9818), 지상부건물중$(y)=-0.0000008x^3+0.001x^2-0.0958x+0.3426$($R^2$=0.9584)로 나타났다. 따라서 봄배추 생육기간중에 GDD 측정만으로도 봄배추의 지상부 생산량을 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구는 국내 주요 경제수종인 소나무 풍매차대묘의 가계간 온도 증가와 건조 스트레스에 따른 생장 및 생리 반응 변화를 알아보고자 실시하였다. 온도변화 및 건조 처리에 따른 소나무의 근원경 상대생장율은 대조구와 건조 처리구 모두 온도 변화와 상관없이 강원74가 가장 우수하였다. 3가계 모두 온도 증가와 건조 처리구에서 근원경 생장은 감소하였으며, 저온처리구인 $-3^{\circ}C$ 처리구에서도 $0^{\circ}C$ 처리구보다 낮은 생장율을 보였다. 광합성 속도, 기공전도도 및 증산속도는 3가계 모두 건조 처리구와 온도가 증가할수록 감소하였고, 저온 처리구인 $-3^{\circ}C$ 처리구에서도 $0^{\circ}C$ 처리구보다 낮은 값을 보였다. 그러나 수분 이용효율은 온도 증가와 건조 처리구에서 높았다. 광색소 함량은 온도 증가와 건조 처리구에서 3가계 모두 감소하였지만, 엽록소 a와 b의 비는 건조 처리와 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 총 엽록소 함량은 대조구와 건조 처리구 모두 온도변화와 상관없이 강원74가 가장 높았다. 결론적으로, 온도 증가 및 감소는 소나무의 생리적 반응에 부정적인 영향과 함께 생장을 저하시켰다. 또한, 건조 스트레스도 소나무의 생장 및 생리적 반응에 많은 영향을 미쳐, 생장이 저하되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 소나무는 온도 감소보다 온도 증가에 더 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 향후 우리나라의 평균 온도가 $6^{\circ}C$ 이상 증가하게 되면 지역에 따라서 소나무 유묘의 생장이 매우 불량해 질 수도 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구에서는 온도변화 및 건조 스트레스에 의한 생장 및 생리적 반응에 있어 가계간 차이를 확인 할 수 있었는데, 유묘의 초기생장이 가장 우수한 강원74가 다른 두 가계보다 온도 및 건조 스트레스 하에서도 생장 및 생리반응이 가장 우수하였다.

본 연구는 재래시장 활성화 요인들을 구조 관계적 관점에서 재래시장 상인들의 경영혁신과 창업성공을 직접적으로 유발하거나 매개하는 변수들을 총체적 시각으로 규명하고자 하는 것이었다. 상인들의 특성을 위험감수성, 경영경험으로 구분하고 이들 특성이 핵심적인 시장 활성화 매개변수를 통하여 경영성과를 유발하는 중요한 요소라는 사실을 확인하였다. 이와 더불어 재래시장에서 가장 취약한 머천다이징 분야를 상품화 계획과 상품화 실천분야로 구분하여 가설에 유의한 구조방정식 모형과 경로를 규명하였다. 또한 시장의 이미지 구성요소에 있어서 시장 가치성, 시장 인지성 그리고 경영성과의 상관관계에 있어서 이들 변수들은 실질적으로는 구분된 개념이면서도 각각의 선행변수가 될 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다. 또한 재래시장의 이미지변수는 시장의 가치성과 인지성으로 구성되어 있으며, 이들 변수들이 경영성과로 연결되는 과정에서 순차적인 연속단계 형태로 구조경로가 연결되며, 앞 단계의 개념이 충족되어야 다음 단계의 인식개념으로 넘어가는 프로세스적 경로를 새롭게 밝혀주었다. 이러한 연구모형은 향후 재래시장의 후속적인 학술연구에 많은 도움이 되리라고 보여준다. 마지막으로는 본 연구에서는 가설을 도출하여 검증을 하지는 않았지만 사후 분석을 통하여 알아 본 결과가 네 가지 독립변수가 창업성과에 이르는 직·간접효과에 대해, 상인의 위험감수성이 0.29(t 2.61), 경영경험이 0.04(t 1.79)이었으며, 상품화 실천은 0.374(t 2.61)이었다. 시장 활성화 매개변수인 시장 이미지 변수 중에서 시장가치는 0.47(t 5.25), 시장인지는 0.22(t 2.30)으로 경영성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 연구결과는 급변하는 유통경영 환경 속에서 재래시장 상인들에게 실제적으로 도움이 되는 재래시장 활성화 전략 수립, 경영환경의 주도적 변화능력, 상인들의 경영혁신과 몰입, 시장 지향적 마케팅 목표수립에 긍정적이고 시사성 있는 기여를 할 것이다. 상인들의 개인별 역량과 상인의식 특성별로 경영성과에 유의한 결과들을 효과적으로 유발시켜서, 독보적이고 역량 있는 경영혁신 틀이 완벽하게 형성된 진취성이 강한 한국형 재래시장 상인육성과 더불어 활성화사례들을 창출하는데 많은 도움을 줄 것이라고 보여 진다.

Split-flow thin cell fractionation (SPLITT fractionation, SF)은 밀도와 입자 크기에 따라 입자성 물질이나 거대분자를 연속적으로 분리 및 분획하는 기술이다. SF 모드 중 full-feed depletion mode (FFD)는 오직 한 개의 주입 구를 가지고 있으며, outlet에만 flow stream splitter가 존재한다. SPLITT은 두 가지의 중요 인자가 있다. 하나는 시간에 따라 통과되는 시료의 양 (throughput, TP)과 또 다른 하나는 이론에 의해 예측된 크기를 가지는 입자들의 수 퍼센트로 정의하는 분획효율 (fractionation efficiency, FE)이다.. 기존 FFD 모드에서는 splitter가 outlet에 존재하여, 채널 규모를 확장시키는 데 제한이 있어 시료 처리량의 한계가 있다. 따라서 splitter를 제거하고 채널규모를 증가하여 시료 처리량을 대폭 증가시킬 수 있는 대규모 중력장 FFD-SF 채널을 사용하였다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 대용량 중력장 FFD-SF의 TP와 FE 최적화를 위하여 시료농도와 유속변화로 실험을 진행하였다. 이 실험에서는 두 개의 다른 입자 분포 (3~7 µm, 2~30 µm) 를 가지는 Polyurethane (PU) latex beads가 사용되었다. 시료의 농도는 0.2~0.8% (wt/vol)을 사용하였으며, 채널의 유속은 70~160 mL/min을 사용하였다. 분획된 입자는 광학 현미경으로 확인하여 직접 크기 관찰을 하였으며 시료 회수율 (recovery)은 수집된 입자를 0.1 µm 맴브레인 필터로 거른 후 무게측정으로 실험하였다. 본 연구를 통해 fraction-a의 분획효율 (FE)은 이론에 따라 정확히 맞춰준다면 언제든 좋은 수치를 얻을 수 있다는 것이 확인되었고, 시료의 입자크기가 커서 채널에 쌓일 경우, 시료 회수율을 높이기 위해서는 이동상을 더 흘려주는 방법을 사용하면 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 또한 효율적인 TP로 실험을 진행하기 위해서는 최소한 0.4% 농도는 사용해야 효율적인 분획이 이뤄진다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 지진시 지반의 안정성 평가시, 진동시험에 기초하여 액상화 발생가능성 여부를 판정하는 상세평가법을 개발하였다. 개발된 평가법에서는 기존의 평가법이 지진을 단순히 정현하중화하는 등가전단응력개념에 기초한점과는 달리, 지진의 최대가속도, 유효지속시간, 지진형태, 그리고 지진규모 등 다양한 지진영향인자가 고려될 수 있도록 실지진기록 입력의 지반응답해석을 포함하도록 하였다. 지반의 고유한 저항특성을 응력-변형률 시험 결과로부터 액상화 전환시점까지의 누적 소성 전단변형률로 하였으며 이와 연계하여 지진의 액상화 발생특성을 지반응답해석을 통해 획득 가능한 전단변형률 시간이력곡선에 기초하도록 하였다. 이때, 액상화를 유발시키는 실지진기록의 특성분석을 위해 실지진하중 재하의 진동삼축시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과, 충격형 지진인 경우, 지진기록의 최대하중이 재하된 직후, 과잉간극수압이 급진적으로 발전하며 액상화가 발생하는 것으로 나타났으며 진동형 지진의 경우에는 최대하중이 재하된 경우, 눈에 띄는 과잉간극수압의 변화가 관찰되었으며 이후, 일정수준 이상의 큰 하중재하시 액상화가 발생하였다. 이로부터 액상화 발생에 가장 큰 영향인자는 최대하중인 것을 알 수 있었으며 진동형 지진형태의 경우, 일정수준 이상의 후속하중에 대한 고려가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 본 평가법에서는 우선적으로 충격형 지진에 한하여 사용할 것을 제안하며 이때, 최대 전단변형률까지의 시간이력곡선으로부터 소성 전단변형률을 누적계산하여 이를 해당입력지진의 액상화 발생특성치로 정하였다. 기존의 등가응력개념에 기초한 상세평가법과의 비교를 통한 타당성 분석결과, 본 평가법은 기존의 상세평가법보다 유효응력경로 및 응력-변형률 상관곡선 등 실제적인 지반거동변화에 관한 진동시험결과에 기초하여 지반의 고유특성을 결정하고 지반응답해석을 통해 증폭현상을 포함한 지반 내 지진거동변화와 지진시간이력이 보유하고 있는 지진특성을 충분히 반영하고 있으므로 신뢰성 높은 액상화 상세평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
