  • Fuzzy logic based Control Theory has gained much interest in the industrial world, thanks to its ability to formalize and solve in a very natural way many problems that are very difficult to quantify at an analytical level. This paper shows a solution for treating membership function inside hardware circuits. The proposed hardware structure optimizes the memoried size by using particular form of the vectorial representation. The process of memorizing fuzzy sets, i.e. their membership function, has always been one of the more problematic issues for the hardware implementation, due to the quite large memory space that is needed. To simplify such an implementation, it is commonly [1,2,8,9,10,11] used to limit the membership functions either to those having triangular or trapezoidal shape, or pre-definite shape. These kinds of functions are able to cover a large spectrum of applications with a limited usage of memory, since they can be memorized by specifying very few parameters ( ight, base, critical points, etc.). This however results in a loss of computational power due to computation on the medium points. A solution to this problem is obtained by discretizing the universe of discourse U, i.e. by fixing a finite number of points and memorizing the value of the membership functions on such points [3,10,14,15]. Such a solution provides a satisfying computational speed, a very high precision of definitions and gives the users the opportunity to choose membership functions of any shape. However, a significant memory waste can as well be registered. It is indeed possible that for each of the given fuzzy sets many elements of the universe of discourse have a membership value equal to zero. It has also been noticed that almost in all cases common points among fuzzy sets, i.e. points with non null membership values are very few. More specifically, in many applications, for each element u of U, there exists at most three fuzzy sets for which the membership value is ot null [3,5,6,7,12,13]. Our proposal is based on such hypotheses. Moreover, we use a technique that even though it does not restrict the shapes of membership functions, it reduces strongly the computational time for the membership values and optimizes the function memorization. In figure 1 it is represented a term set whose characteristics are common for fuzzy controllers and to which we will refer in the following. The above term set has a universe of discourse with 128 elements (so to have a good resolution), 8 fuzzy sets that describe the term set, 32 levels of discretization for the membership values. Clearly, the number of bits necessary for the given specifications are 5 for 32 truth levels, 3 for 8 membership functions and 7 for 128 levels of resolution. The memory depth is given by the dimension of the universe of the discourse (128 in our case) and it will be represented by the memory rows. The length of a world of memory is defined by: Length = nem (dm(m)+dm(fm) Where: fm is the maximum number of non null values in every element of the universe of the discourse, dm(m) is the dimension of the values of the membership function m, dm(fm) is the dimension of the word to represent the index of the highest membership function. In our case then Length=24. The memory dimension is therefore 128*24 bits. If we had chosen to memorize all values of the membership functions we would have needed to memorize on each memory row the membership value of each element. Fuzzy sets word dimension is 8*5 bits. Therefore, the dimension of the memory would have been 128*40 bits. Coherently with our hypothesis, in fig. 1 each element of universe of the discourse has a non null membership value on at most three fuzzy sets. Focusing on the elements 32,64,96 of the universe of discourse, they will be memorized as follows: The computation of the rule weights is done by comparing those bits that represent the index of the membership function, with the word of the program memor . The output bus of the Program Memory (μCOD), is given as input a comparator (Combinatory Net). If the index is equal to the bus value then one of the non null weight derives from the rule and it is produced as output, otherwise the output is zero (fig. 2). It is clear, that the memory dimension of the antecedent is in this way reduced since only non null values are memorized. Moreover, the time performance of the system is equivalent to the performance of a system using vectorial memorization of all weights. The dimensioning of the word is influenced by some parameters of the input variable. The most important parameter is the maximum number membership functions (nfm) having a non null value in each element of the universe of discourse. From our study in the field of fuzzy system, we see that typically nfm 3 and there are at most 16 membership function. At any rate, such a value can be increased up to the physical dimensional limit of the antecedent memory. A less important role n the optimization process of the word dimension is played by the number of membership functions defined for each linguistic term. The table below shows the request word dimension as a function of such parameters and compares our proposed method with the method of vectorial memorization[10]. Summing up, the characteristics of our method are: Users are not restricted to membership functions with specific shapes. The number of the fuzzy sets and the resolution of the vertical axis have a very small influence in increasing memory space. Weight computations are done by combinatorial network and therefore the time performance of the system is equivalent to the one of the vectorial method. The number of non null membership values on any element of the universe of discourse is limited. Such a constraint is usually non very restrictive since many controllers obtain a good precision with only three non null weights. The method here briefly described has been adopted by our group in the design of an optimized version of the coprocessor described in [10].

  • 도시 계획적 측면에서 도시의 구조적 변화에 따른 기후영향을 파악하여 그 결과를 도시계획에 반영하는 것은 중요하다. 서울시에서는 도시계획 시나리오 정보를 제공하기 위해 도시계획정보시스템(Urban Plan Information System, UPIS)을 활용 중이다. 지자체의 실제 도시계획에 따른 기후영향을 평가하고 분석하기 위해서는 UPIS에서 제공하는 도시계획시나리오와 도시기후분석모델을 손쉽게 연계할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국립기상과학원의 도시기후분석모델(Climate Analysis Seoul, CAS)과 도시계획 시나리오를 연계하는 기술을 개발하였다. CAS는 건물과 식생의 물리적 배치에 따른 온도, 바람 등의 국지규모 변화와 중규모 기상모델인 MetPhoMod(METeorology and atmospheric PHOtochemistry mesoscale MODel)의 분석결과를 바탕으로 찬공기의 생성, 이동, 정체와 바람흐름, 열적환경 등을 분석하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 정밀한 도시정보를 모델에 적용하기 위해 고해상도의 항공 LiDAR(LIgit Detection And Ranging) 측량을 통해 생성된 래스터자료(1m 해상도)와 KOMPSAT-2(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite) 위성영상 자료(4m 해상도)를 이용하여 토지피복 및 수치표고자료로 활용할 입력자료를 생성하였다. 보다 정확한 도시지면 특징을 반영하기 위해 수치표면모델인 DSM(Digital Surface Model)과 수치지형모델인 DTM(Digital Terrain Model)을 전산유체역학모델(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 입력자료로 사용하여 상세바람분석을 수행하였다. 8방위의 유입류를 고려하여 재정비 전후의 도시구조물 주변의 흐름 및 풍속 분포와 녹지축 형성 전후의 열환경 변화를 분석하였다. 현실적인 기상상태 반영을 위해 CAS의 중규모 기상장을 입력자료로 사용하였으며, 그 결과 재정비에 따른 도시구조물 변화에 의해 바람길에 큰 변화가 확인되었다. 녹지축 형성 이후 전반적으로 재정비지역 주변의 온도가 감소하였다. CAS와 CFD의 연동을 통해 도시지역 재정비와 녹지축 형성 전후의 주변 바람길과 열환경에 대한 실제적인 평가가 가능하며, 도시개발계획과 녹지조성계획 수립에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

  • 이 논문에서는 일본 애니메이션 "Dragon Quest IV"의 음악 감독 코이치 스기야마(Koichi Sugiyama, 1931~)의 작품 "Battle for The Glory"에 나타난 관현악 운용 기법을 필자가 고안한 성부 분할법과 악기 편성 패턴, 리듬 패턴, 보이싱 패턴, 진행구간별 조화비를 기준으로 비교 분석하고, 그 결과를 토대로 관현악 편곡의 체계와 진행원리를 발견하는데 목적을 두었다. 그 결과 첫째, 5개의 주제가 나타난 각 악절은 각각 특정한 악기 편성 패턴을 가지고 있다. 각 주제의 제시와 반복, 재현이 나타나는 악절에서는 동일한 악기 편성 패턴을 유지하여 통일성을 강조하였고, 이와는 대조적으로 새로운 주제가 제시되는 악절에서는 악기의 교체법과 가감법을 사용하여 새로운 악기 편성 패턴으로 다양성을 제고하였다. 둘째, 보이싱 패턴은 전체적으로 전경부는 엷은 보이싱 구조와 중경부는 두터운 보이싱 구조로 구성된 "엷음-두터움"의 수직적 대조관계를 이루고 있다. 그러나, 제3주제는 "두터움-엷음", 제4주제는 2개의 선율을 가진 "엷음-두터움"의 구조로 교체되는 다양성을 제고하고 있다. 셋째, 리듬 패턴은 전체적으로 전경부는 굵은 리듬 구조와 중경부는 잘은 리듬 구조로 구성된 "굵음-잘음"의 수직적 대조관계를 이루고 있다. 그러나, 제5주제에서는 "잘음-굵음"으로 교체되면서 다양성을 부여하고 있다. 넷째, 수평적 관점에서 진행구간별 조화비는 주제가 반복, 재현되는 구간에서는 통일성의 비율이 높고, 새로운 주제가 제시되는 구간에서는 다양성 비율이 높은 것으로 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 이 작품에 사용된 운용 기법을 통해 균형감 있는 관현악 운용 기법은 수직적 관점의 기법을 바탕으로 수평적 진행구간의 다양성 비율 관계를 추출하는 것이다. 이러한 측면에서 이 분석연구가 관현악 기법의 이론체계와 교육방법 확립에 새로운 페러다임으로 자리매김 되었으면 한다.

  • 신문의 역할은 정부의 비판과 감시다. 공공의 문제에 해설과 논평을 하는가 하면 다양한 여론을 형성하고 전달한다. 메타데이터가 확실한 사진 기록물을 담고 있으며, 지역신문의 경우 로컬리티 확보의 중요한 도구다. 신문에 실린 광고와 신문의 편집 역시도 시대의 단면을 보여준다. 이런 신문의 기록학적 가치 때문에 도큐멘테이션 전략을 수립할 때도 신문은 늘 우선적으로 수집이 고려되는 기록물이다. 신문을 보존하고 관리하기 위한 신문 아카이브는 여러모로 중요한 의미를 지닌다. 기자들이 기사를 작성하기 위해 이용하기도 하고, 다양한 학문 분야의 연구를 위한 자료로도 활용이 된다. 신문의 교육적 활용인 NIE에도 이용되지만 신문 아카이브는 디지털 시대에 들어와 더욱 중요한 위치를 차지한다. 미디어 자산을 통합 관리하는 MAM의 핵심에 아카이브가 위치하기 때문이다. 신문 제작뿐만 아니라 신문사 경영 등 전 영역에 걸쳐 새로운 역할을 온라인 아카이브가 하게 될 거라는 전망들이 나오고 있다. 한국에서도 이미 1991년 기사통합 DB인 KINDS가 서비스를 시작했고, 네이버에서는 뉴스 라이브러리라는 온라인 신문 아카이브를 구축해 운영하고 있다. KINDS의 경우 초기에는 뜨거운 반응이 있었으나, 현재는 이용률이 저조한 상태이다. "조선일보", "중앙일보" 등 주요 신문사가 빠져 있고, 이용자 인터페이스도 불편한 점이 많기 때문이다. 하지만 공공예산이 투입되어 무료로 이용할 수 있다는 점이나, 지방지에 대한 접근성 등은 큰 장점이다. 고신문의 경우 국립중앙도서관에서 지속적으로 디지타이징을 하고 있다. 개별 신문사들의 경우도 아카이브라고 하기 민망한 수준이자만 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 미국의 경우 의회도서관에서 국립인문기금과 함께 역사적 신문을 디지타이징 하는 'CHRONICLING AMERICA' 프로젝트를 진행 중이다. 각 주의 대학과 역사협회, 공공 도서관에 기금을 줘 매년 10만 페이지의 지역신문을 디지타이징하고 있다. 영국 역시도 국립도서관이 중심이 되어 'The British NEWSPAPER Archive'라는 온라인 신문 아카이브를 구축하고 있는데, 미국과 달리 유료로 운영된다. 이곳 역시도 합동정보시스템위원회의 공공예산이 투입되었으며, 지금도 구축을 계속 이어가고 있다. 개별 신문사들은 아카이브 솔루션을 구매해 온라인 아카이브를 구축하는 경우가 많다. ProQuest Archiver, Gale Cengage-NewsVault가 대표적인 아카이브 플랫폼으로 신문 자체가 표준화되고 규격화되어 있는 만큼 이를 통한 아카이브 구축도 효율적인 방법으로 보인다. 국내의 온라인 신문 아카이브를 개선하기 위해서는 아카이브에 대한 인식의 전환과 함께 과감한 투자 등이 요구된다.

  • 본 연구는 세계문화유산으로 지정된 조선왕릉의 관리를 담당한 관직인 능참봉직을 소재로 하여 "경국대전(經國大典)", "속대전(續大典)", "대전회통(大典會通)", "조선왕조실록(朝鮮王朝實錄)", 각종 의궤(儀軌), 능지(陵誌), "일성록", 능참봉 일기 등 관련 고문헌의 내용분석을 중심으로 능참봉의 조경가적 역할을 규명하는 기초연구로 수행되었으며, 요약된 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 능참봉(陵參奉)은 종9품 참봉 2인으로 구성되고 능참봉직은 생원 진사 혹은 유학중에 삼망(三望)을 거쳐 임명이 되는 음직(蔭職)으로 임용기준은 '연소하지 않고 경륜이 있는 자'를 선발하였으며, 왕릉수호의 상징성으로 인해 관직진출의 수단이 되었다. 둘째, 능참봉의 업무체계는 품계서열을 따랐으나 지리상의 여건 등으로 봉심과 능의 공사감독 등 실제보다 많은 권한과 다양한 직무를 수행하였으며, 능수호군 관리 및 능지작성 등 조선왕릉 관리에 중요한 역할을 수행하였다. 셋째, 능참봉의 조경관련 직무 중 봉심은 능상의 석물이나 사초, 정자각 등을 정기적으로 예찰하여 예조에 보고하는 것이며, 경국대전과 속대전에 봉심의 체계와 방법 등이 자세히 규정되어 있었다. 넷째, 능참봉의 조경관련 직무 중 수목관리 및 능역공사 감독은 조경식물에 대한 기본적 이해와 관리능력과 건축 토목을 망라한 공간에 대한 다양한 식견이 요구되는 직무로 조선왕릉의 현장관리 실무자로써 지방관과의 수직적인 관계의 유동성 확보와 산림부산물 처리에서 암묵적 권한과 관리 책임이 부여되었으며, 오늘날 조경가의 직무성향과 관련성이 깊다. 능참봉의 조선시대 조경관련 직무에 대해 좀 더 폭넓은 문헌 발굴 및 고증으로 조선시대 능참봉의 조선왕릉 조경관리자로서의 역할과 능참봉과 조선왕릉의 조경사적 가치 규명을 위한 후속 연구가 요구된다.

  • 본고는 어구스틴 잘조사(Agustin Zarosa)의 2013년 저작, 『영화와 텔레비전 멜로드라마 재고하기: 사로잡힌 정동, 탄력적 고통, 대리적 대상』(Refiguring Melodrama in Film and Television: Captive Affects, Elastic Sufferings, Vicarious Objects)을 통해, 기존의 멜로드라마의 핵심 개념들로 다루어져 왔던 모드, 정동, 고통(히스테리아), 과잉에 대한 논의들을 계보학적으로 다시 논의하며, 동시대 새로운 화두로 떠오른, 정동이론과 환경, 동물등과 포스트 휴머니즘 담론이 어떻게 멜로드라마 개념에 접목될 수 있는 지 논한다. 1장에서는, 모드를, 선과 악이 한 쌍이 되는 매커니즘 안에서, 사회 전체를 가로지르는 고통의 시각성을 재분배하는 장치로서의 멜로드라마의 개념으로 넓히며, 선과 악의 구별을 증명하기 위한 수단으로써 고통을 드러내는 멜로드라마의 모드에 대한 브룩스의 논의를 반박한다. 2장은 들뢰즈식 형이상학의 관점으로부터 멜로드라마가 의미의 체계라기보다는 '특정화'(sepcification)의 탄력적 시스템임을 논한다. <언덕위의 집>(빈센트 미넬리)의 분석을 통해, 신체들간의 조우를 통해 생성된 정동과 -의미가 아닌-정동이 흐르는 장소로써의 미장센에 주목한다. 3장은 브룩스의 붕괴된 도덕적 질서를 회복시키는 멜로드라마의 역할에 대한 논의에 반대하며, 멜로드라마는 미해결로 남아 있는 (여성) 고통에 대한 인지 혹은 시각화를 위해 존재한다고 강조한다. <세이프>(토드 헤인즈)는 환경으로 인한 여성 고통을 다루면서 기존의 여성 히스테리와 멜로드라마라는 논의에 생태비평주의적 관점을 더한다. 나머지 두 챕터들은 동물과 포스트휴먼 멜로드라마를 논의함으로써, 인간의 명제를 제한하고 확장하는 데 있어서의 멜로드라마의 역할을 연구한다. 희생과 과잉이라는 멜로드라마의 명제가 어떻게 -인간중심적인-인간과 비인간의 경계를 흐리게 하는 지 분석한다. 잘조사는 피터 브룩스의 논의에서 도출된 모드, 정동, 고통의 개념들을 일부분 받아들이면서도, 각각 들뢰즈주의, 페미니즘, 포스트휴머니즘(캐리 울프, 아키라 리핏)의 논의들을 부가하며, 브룩스의 정전화된 멜로드라마의 개념에 도전하고 있다.

  • 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.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

  • The 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.

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.

  • 최근 인터넷 기술의 발전과 함께 스마트 기기가 대중화됨에 따라 방대한 양의 텍스트 데이터가 쏟아져 나오고 있으며, 이러한 텍스트 데이터는 뉴스, 블로그, 소셜미디어 등 다양한 미디어 매체를 통해 생산 및 유통되고 있다. 이처럼 손쉽게 방대한 양의 정보를 획득할 수 있게 됨에 따라 보다 효율적으로 문서를 관리하기 위한 문서 분류의 필요성이 급증하였다. 문서 분류는 텍스트 문서를 둘 이상의 카테고리 혹은 클래스로 정의하여 분류하는 것을 의미하며, K-근접 이웃(K-Nearest Neighbor), 나이브 베이지안 알고리즘(Naïve Bayes Algorithm), SVM(Support Vector Machine), 의사결정나무(Decision Tree), 인공신경망(Artificial Neural Network) 등 다양한 기술들이 문서 분류에 활용되고 있다. 특히, 문서 분류는 문맥에 사용된 단어 및 문서 분류를 위해 추출된 형질에 따라 분류 모델의 성능이 달라질 뿐만 아니라, 문서 분류기 구축에 사용된 학습데이터의 질에 따라 문서 분류의 성능이 크게 좌우된다. 하지만 현실세계에서 사용되는 대부분의 데이터는 많은 노이즈(Noise)를 포함하고 있으며, 이러한 데이터의 학습을 통해 생성된 분류 모형은 노이즈의 정도에 따라 정확도 측면의 성능이 영향을 받게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노이즈를 인위적으로 삽입하여 문서 분류기의 견고성을 강화하고 이를 통해 분류의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 즉, 분류의 대상이 되는 원 문서와 전혀 다른 특징을 갖는 이질적인 데이터소스로부터 추출한 형질을 원 문서에 일종의 노이즈의 형태로 삽입하여 이질성 학습을 수행하고, 도출된 분류 규칙 중 문서 분류기의 정확도 향상에 기여하는 분류 규칙만을 추출하여 적용하는 방식의 규칙 선별 기반의 앙상블 준지도학습을 제안함으로써 문서 분류의 성능을 향상시키고자 한다.

  • 사회가 점차 개방적이고 세계적 변화 양상을 띠면서 지구화는 지구 곳곳에서 일어나는 보편적인 현상이 되었고 국제결혼을 통한 지구화 현상(globalization)은 한국에서도 쉽게 찾아볼 수 있는 현상이다. 특히 한국에서 일어나고 있는 국제결혼은 1995년을 기점으로 이주여성이라고 범주화하는 집단의 여성 비율이 남성을 능가하면서 이주의 여성화 경향으로 나타나고 있다. 이와 관련하여 이주의 여성화는 아시아 여성들이 성산업으로 유입되거나 매매혼 등 섹슈얼리티와 관련된 젠더 관계로 집중되면서 아시아 여성들이 이주를 통해 겪는 문제가 심각한 상황이다. 따라서 한국 내에서 이루어지고 있는 국제결혼의 모습은 지구화로 인한 이주 현상의 한 맥락이자 이주의 여성화현상이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 최근 사회학적, 인류학적, 문화이론적, 그리고 탈식민주의 페미니즘의 다양한 학문적 범주에서 다루어지는 디아스포라 논의에 대해 미디어에 재현되는 국제결혼의 모습에 집중하여 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 텔레비전 프로그램의 형식에 따라 드라마, 리얼리티 프로그램, 시사 보도 프로그램, 그리고 영화와 인터넷 미디어를 통해 국제결혼을 통해 한국으로 이주한 아시아 여성의 재현 방식을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 디아스포라 과정에서 국제결혼을 통해 이주한 아시아 여성들이 한국 미디어 내에서 여전히 남성 위주의 가부장적인 질서하에 놓여 있다는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 아시아 여성들이 겪고 있는 강도 높은 가사 노동이 정당화되고 있으며 그것들이 '착한 며느리', '순종적인 아내'라는 친밀한 역할로 정형화되면서 남성에 의한 '타자화'가 일어나고 있거나 아니면 매매혼을 통해 피해자나 가해자로 사회적인 측면에서 '타자화'시키는 경우, 그리고 그들을 아예 성적인 대상으로 상품화시키는 과정을 살펴볼 수 있었다. 이로써 현재의 미디어 담론들은 국제결혼을 한 아시아 여성에게 '타자화'된 시선으로만 살펴보고 있으며 이들이 한국 사회의 구성원으로서 이야기되어야 할 것들이 무엇인지, 앞으로 미디어 담론은 이를 통해 어떠한 시선을 가져야 그들의 문제를 우리의 문제로 다룰 수 있는지 고민하게 해야 할 것이다.
