최근 문화 예술 분야를 활용하여 고부가가치를 창출하며 지속적으로 발전하는 공연예술 시장 환경 속에서 공연 기획자들이나 투자자들은 공연에서 성공을 하기 위한 객관적인 지표를 원한다. 성공적인 공연을 위해서는 관람객들에게 편의를 제공하여 만족도를 높여 주어야 하며, 따라서 재미와 감동, 가치를 높이는 방안도 모색해야 한다. 기존의 만족도 확인 방법으로는 공연기간, 설문조사, 입소문 등 주관적인 평가가 대부분이다. 이것들은 관람객들의 만족도에 대한 평가 기준이 될 수 는 없다. 최근에는 공연에서 관람객의 몰입 정도가 공연의 주요 성공 요인으로 평가되기 시작했다. 공연에 대한 몰입도가 높으면 만족도도 높아진다는 연구 결과도 있다. 그래서 공연에 대한 관람객의 몰입을 실시간으로 확인하는 지표를 개발하는 것은 관람객들의 만족도를 평가하는데 유용하게 사용될 수 잇다. 기존의 몰입도 추출 연구는 대부분 1인을 대상으로 한 연구들이며 전체 관람객들의 몰입도는 개별 몰입도를 통합하여 측정하여 왔다. 하지만, 공연장에서 관람객들의 몰입도를 개별적으로 측정하기에는 경제적으로나 환경적으로 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는, 공연장의 전체 관람객 몰입도를 측정하기 위하여 차영상 기반의 동기화 기법을 활용하는 모형을 제시 한다. 이 기법은 우선 카메라를 통해 관람객 영상을 수집하고, 이를 차영상 기법을 이용하여 동일 장소, 시간 내 관람객들의 움직임 변화량을 측정하여 동기화 여부를 판단하는 것이다. 본 논문에서 동기화가 되었다는 의미는 관람객들이 몰입하고 있을 때, 자극원에 대하여 동시성을 가지고 반응하는 것을 말한다. 이것을 차영상 기법을 통하여 움직임의 변화량으로 환산하고, 이것을 이용하여 동적 동기화와 정적 동기화인지 구분한다. 그런 후 전체 관람객들의 움직임 변화량들을 비교하여 관람객들의 몰입도를 판단하는 모형을 구축하는 것이다. 이 연구에서는 전체 관객의 몰입도 판단 모형을 제시하고, 실제 관객의 반응 데이터를 이용한 평가를 하여 제시한 연구모형이 실제 공연장에서 그룹 관람객들의 몰입도를 측정할 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

이순신(李舜臣)이 임진왜란 중 조정에 보고한 장계(狀啓)가 그 당시와 후대의 등록(謄錄) 형식에 따라 3자에 의해 등서되어 현재 장초(狀草), 계초(啓草), 계본(啓本) 등으로 전한다. 특히 전라좌수영의 수군절도사로 재직할 때 작성된 "임진장초(壬辰狀草)"는 대표적인 장계로 많이 알려졌다. 최근에 분실되었다가 소재가 확인된 "충민공계초"는 "임진장초"와 함께 후대의 이순신 장계류에 전범이 될 만큼 사료적인 가치가 매우 높은 국보급 유물이다. 그러나 이 책이 이순신 관련한 새로운 책인지 아니면 기존에 분실되었던 장계별책인지 불분명한 상태이다. 이에 본고에서는 이에 대한 서지적인 고찰을 통해 관련 내용을 고증하였다. "충민(忠愍)"은 이순신이 사후에 사용했던 명칭이었고, 1662년에 장계가 등서되어 "충민공계초"가 완성되었다. 여기에는 "임진장초"에 없는 12편이 더 들어있는데, 그간 분실된 것으로 알려진 장계별책에도 "임진장초"에 없는 12편이 더 들어 있었다는 점이 서로 일치하는 점이다. 특히 1928년 일본인들이 촬영한 사진 11장의 형태와 내용이 "충민공계초"에 들어있는 12편과 완전 일치한다. 조선사편수회에서 이 책을 "별도로 초사(抄寫)한 계초(啓草) 1책"이라고 한 점, 이 책의 12편으로 장계를 보충한 점, 홍기문과 이은상이 장계초본에 기존 "임진장초"에 없는 12편이 더 들어있다고 한 점, 조성도가 12편을 따로 별책본으로 분류한 점 등은 12편이 들어있는 장계별책을 "충민공계초"라고 할 수 있는 근거가 되어준다. "충무공계초"는 편수가 총 62편이므로 12편이 더 들어있는 분실된 장계별책으로 보긴 어려울 것이다. "충무공유사"의 "충무공계본"은 모두 16편이다. 본문에는 이두문이 그대로 실려 있고, 뒤의 3편은 "충민공계초"원문과 동일하다. 지금까지 이두문이 그대로 실린 것은 1935년에 간행된 조선사편수회의 "임진장초"가 유일했는데, "충무공계본"의 간행된 시기가 오히려 이를 앞서는 것으로 추정된다. "충민공계초"가 장계별책이라는 것에 대한 반론은 이은상이 "장계등본 별책의 일기 1장"이라고 한 말에 근거한다. 1953년 설의식이 "이순신수록 난중일기초"에 "무술일기" 초고 사진 1장을 도판으로 처음 소개하였다. 이은상도 "무술일기"에 장계초본 별책 속의 친필 일기초 2면을 첨가했고, 다시 "장계 등본 별책 끝에 최후 10일 동안의 일기 한 장"과 "별책부록"이라는 말을 사용하였다. 이 의견은 설의식이 정확한 출처를 모르고 소개한 "무술일기" 초고 사진 1장"에서 비롯한 것이다. 이은상은 "충무공유사"를 장계관련 책으로 잘못 파악하고 "장계등본 별책의 일기 1장"이란 말을 하였다. 이는 실제 원본상황과 다른 잘못된 견해이므로, 굳이 이를 정정한다면 "충무공유사의 일기 1장"이라고 해야 한다. 따라서 일기 1장이 딸린 장계별책은 존재하지 않는 것이므로 반박의 근거가 잘못된 것이다. 요컨대 "임진장초" 이외의 모든 장계들을 장계별책이라 할 수 있겠지만, 지금까지 통상 지칭되었던 장계별책에 유독 12편이 더 실려 있다고 한다. 이 점이 다른 장계류와 차별화된 점이다. 그러므로 여러 장계이본 중에서 유일하게 12편이 더 수록된 "충민공계초"가 기존에 알려진 장계별책이라는 견해에 더 무게가 실릴 것이다.

본 연구는 한국, 중국, 일본의 계단식 논의 현황 및 보전관리방안을 중점적으로 살펴보고, 한국 계단식 논이 명승자원으로 보전되고, 지속적으로 연구될 수 있는 기초자료 제시를 목적으로 하며, 본 연구에서 도출한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 우리 선조들은 경사지를 개간하면서도 경관의 훼손을 최소화 하며 다랑이 논을 축조하는 방법을 전수하였으며, 다랑이 논은 한국 고유의 전통 경관으로 가치를 지니고 있다. 그러나 경작의 운용면에서 불리한 환경에 놓여있어, 휴경(休耕)되거나 폐경(廢耕)되어 사라져가는 다랑이 논의 면적이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 문제에 대하여 정부는 소실되어가는 전통 경관인 다랑이 논의 보전을 위해서 '한국 다랑이 논 데이터베이스 구축'을 실시하여 우수 경관자원 발굴의 토대를 마련해야 할 것이다. 문화 경관적 가치가 높다고 판단되는 다랑이 논은 명승지나 기념물로 지정 관리되어 법적 보호를 받을 필요가 있다. 둘째, 한국 계단식 논의 효율적 관리와 지속적인 연구를 위한 국 내외 문헌조사 분석의 결과는 다음과 같다. 관련 법규 부분에서 계단식 논은 문화재보호법에 의해 명승으로 지정 관리되고 있을 뿐, 그 외에 경관법 및 농어촌관련법은 계단식 논 경관계획 수립을 위한 참고사항으로 법적 구속력 및 실효성이 없는 상태이다. 이에 계단식 논의 효율적 보전과 관리를 위해서는 계단식 논 관련법의 제정, 제도의 보완과 확립이 반드시 이뤄져야 할 것으로 판단된다. 셋째, 본 연구에서 한국, 중국, 일본 계단식 논의 조사분석 결과가 시사하는 바는 다음과 같다. 계단식 논의 보전을 위한 관련 법규는 조금씩 국가별 차이를 보이고 있으나, 우수한 경관자원의 보전과 보호에 바탕을 두고 지정 관리하고 있다는 점에서 유사하다. 국가별 계단식 논 관련 법규의 조사결과로 일본의 문화재보호법과 경관법의 연동, 중국의 자치지구 법규 등의 제도 도입을 통한 한국 계단식 논 경관의 보전 방안이 보완되어야 할 것이다. 넷째, 한국 계단식 논의 효율적 보전을 위해 주민 자체의 교육을 통한 인식 향상과 함께 계단식 논 관리를 위한 마을 단위 조직을 운영해야 한다. 한국 계단식 논 마을주민들의 자발적 참여를 위한 대책들을 도입할 경우, 각 지역의 마을에서 주민들의 합의나 논의 관리, 주변 환경미화 등의 부분에서 서로 일체감을 유발하여 마을의 활성화가 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 또한 마을단위 주민자치 운영회는 문화재청 관계자, 대학교수 등 전문가 집단의 자문 기구를 두어 운영에 대한 자문 및 지원을 쉽게 받을 수 있는 시스템을 구축해야 하며, 도시 주민과의 교류를 통한 계단식 논 지역의 활성화 또한 중요하다고 사료된다.

경상북도 민속문화재 제76호로 지정된 '천운정사(天雲精舍)'는 식산 이만부가 1700년에 건립한 식산정사이다. 본 연구에서는 식산정사와 관련한 이만부의 생애와 은일관을 알아보고, 그의 정사경영의 결과물인 「누항록」과 《누항도》를 분석해 정사의 풍수적 입지와 영역성 및 원형경관을 추정하고, 은거한 선비가 자신의 공간에 담고자 했던 철학을 고찰하여 다음의 결과를 도출하였다. 첫째, 식산 이만부는 조선 후기 대표적 은둔형 유학자이다. 정사의 이름이자 이만부의 호인 '식산'은 마을의 뒷산(主山)에서 연유한 것으로 그는 생각(思), 몸(躬), 말(言), 사귐(交) 네 가지를 쉬고자 했다. 다난했던 숙종년간 남인 집안의 이만부는 '식산'이라는 호를 통해 은둔하고자 하는 그의 의지를 표상하였다. 둘째, 이만부는 식산정사의 입지, 공간구조, 건축물 및 조경시설물, 수목, 주변경관, 이용행태 등을 「누항록」에 기록하였고, 《누항도》화첩을 남겨 원형에 가까운 식산정사 복원 가능성이 비교적 높다. 셋째, 이만부는 외노곡이 밖에서 보면 사면이 두로 막혀있으나 안으로 들어서면 아늑하고 깊숙하며 멀리까지 내다보인다는 풍수적 지리관을 언급하고 있으며, 노곡마을 전체를 일컬어 식산정사라 했는데 이는 명명을 통해 의미를 부여하고 영역을 형성·확장하였음을 알 수 있다. 넷째, 식산정사의 공간구성은 연식공간, 교육공간, 후원공간, 휴식공간, 채원 및 약초밭으로 구분할 수 있다. 당과 루, 연지로 구성된 연식공간은 개인적 공간으로 호연지기, 천인합일의 흥취, 군자의 도리, 인을 생각하는 이만부의 거처이자 강학을 베풀던 공간이다. 다섯째, 양정재 영역은 교육공간으로서 양정재는 주역 몽괘에서 취한 이름으로 어린 학생들의 학문과 덕이 크고 밝게 성장하기를 기원한 이름이다. 여섯째, 간지정, 고반대, 세한단 등으로 구성된 후원공간은 식산정사 가장 안쪽의 숲이 우거진 곳을 정리하고 자연 입석과 고송을 병풍삼아 작은 정자를 지을 축대를 쌓은 곳으로, 멈춤의 미덕과 은자의 여유, 군자의 지조 등에 관한 뜻을 담고 있다. 일곱째, 식산정사 담장 밖 동쪽 시내 건너 고목이 우거진 곳에 단을 조성하여 영귀사라 하고 괴석을 쌓고 화초를 심어 휴식의 장소로 삼았다. 여덟째, 조선시대 선비들처럼 채소와 약초의 효능을 상세히 알고 있던 이만부는 정사 내에 채원과 약초밭을 가꾸었다. 아홉째, 식산 이만부는 식산정사의 각 공간별 건축물과 조경시설물에 대한 명명을 통한 의미 부여와 고사(古事)를 따른 식재를 통해 자신의 정사에 성리학적 이상향을 실현했음을 알 수 있다.

2020년 예상하지 못한 형태의 COVID-19 감염병의 급속도로 전파·확산으로 국민의 "생명·신체·재산"에 피해를 줄 수 있는 재난관리법상 사회재난이 발생하면서, 감염병병원체의 검사 및 발생 사실에 대한 신고 및 보고(제11조), 실태조사(제17조), 역학조사(제18조), 예방접종을 위한 역학조사(제29조) 등을 통하여 수집된 정보는 발전된 데이터 인식 및 처리 기술, 인공지능을 통한 학습 기술 등과 결합하여 (1) 의료자원 배분을 위한 정책적 근거 마련(병상배정, 방역물품 공급), (2) 감염병 확산 방지를 위한 방역 정책적 근거 마련(집합금지·영업제한 등 정책 결정, 확진자 발생 현황 예측을 위한 연구 및 정책 결정), (3) 예방접종 촉진 및 피해 현황 파악 등 감염병 위기 상황에서 의사결정의 중요한 근거로 활용되어 왔다. 이러한 감염병 데이터를 활용한 의료정책의 결정은 방역정책 결정, 정보제공, 의약품 개발 및 연구 기술 발전에 기여하여 왔으며, 국제적으로 감염병 데이터의 활용 법제 마련에 관한 논의가 증가하면서 감염병 데이터 활용의 법적인정 범위와 한계에 대한 관심이 높아졌다. 감염병 데이터의 활용은 감염병 전파 및 확산 차단 목적, 감염병의 예방·관리·치료업무 목적, 감염병 연구 목적으로 분류할 수 있으며, 정보의 활용은 감염병 위기 상황을 전제로 논의된다. 먼저 민감정보인 "진료기록, 예방접종약, 예방접종, 기저질환 유무, 건강순위, 장기요양인정등급, 임신여부 등"에 관한 정보의 경우, 업무 목적으로 수집·제공·활용하는 경우 개인정보보호법상 활용이 인정되는 "타법에서 정하는 업무" 범위에 대한 해석이 요구된다. "감염병 전파 및 확산 차단, 감염병의 예방·관리·치료" 목적의 업무수행의 경우 입법적으로 명확하게 사전에 규율하기 쉽지 않다. 따라서 이를 인정하기 위한 전제로 먼저 대법원 및 헌법재판소에서 의료행위의 개념을 명확하게 정의하기 어렵다는 부분을 차용할 수 있다. 따라서 현실적으로 구체적인 업무수행의 행위 유형은 후행적으로 "입법목적, 학문적 원리, 전문성, 사회통념"을 기준으로 판단하여 재량권의 일탈 또는 남용의 논리로 해석하게 된다. 목적 달성에 필요한 정보수집 대상의 확정, 수집 정보의 활용방안의 한계 설정을 위하여 감염병으로 인한 공중보건 위기 상황에서 데이터 활용의 공익적 필요성이 있는지를 우선 판단하되 해당 정보의 활용이 정보주체나 제3자의 이익을 부당하게 침해하지 않았는지를 기준으로 판단한다. 이익형량의 세부 기준으로 위기 상황에서 감염병의 전파속도와 정도, 해당 민감정보의 처리 없이 목적달성을 할 수 있었는지, 민감정보의 처리를 통한 방역정책 도입의 효과성 등을 기준으로 판단하게 된다. 한편, 연구목적 감염병데이터의 수집·제공·활용은 원칙적으로 개인정보보호법상 가명처리, 생명윤리법상 동의와 기관생명윤리위원회의 심의, 국민건강보험공단 자료 활용 시 자료제공 심의위원회 절차를 거쳐 활용되게 된다. 따라서 가명처리 및 데이터심의위원회의 심의 또는 정보주체의 동의 및 기관생명윤리심의위원회의 심의를 거치므로 원칙적으로 절차적 타당성을 확보하는 한 연구목적 활용은 인정된다. 다만, 가명화 또는 익명화 절차를 명확히하여 연구책임자의 부담을 줄여야 하며, 포괄적 동의제도와 옵트아웃 제도의 도입 또는 동의 절차가 명확히 마련되어야 하며, 기술발전으로 나타날 수 있는 재식별 가능성 또는 보안성 확보 절차를 명확히 규정할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

1. 목적 성조숙증은 2차성징의 발달이 여아에서는 8세 이전 남아에선 9세 이전에 조기 2차성징이 출현하는 증상으로 골단의 조기 폐쇄를 일으켜 결국 최종 성인 신장의 감소를 가져오는 질환이다. 본 연구는 성조숙증으로 내원한 여아들의 GnRH(Gonado-tropin-releasing Hormone) 자극검사 결과와 의무기록을 후향 분석하여 진단별 차이를 알아보고자 하였다. 2. 방법 2015년 2월부터 2015년 12월까지 분당서울대병원 소아청소년 내분비내과를 내원한 여아 118명을 대상으로 하였다. 의무기록을 후향 분석하여 대상 환아들은 진성 성조숙증(true precocious puberty) 57명, 조기사춘기(early puberty) 39명, 유방 조기발육군(premature thelarche) 22명을 진단별로 분류하였다. 진단 당시의 신장, 체중, Tanner stage, 골연령, 역연령, 부모의 키, GnRH 검사에서 LH, FSH와 E2 (Estradiol) Basal 값도 함께 조사하였다. 성선 자극호르몬 결과값 LH (Basal,30min,45min,60min) FSH(Basal,30min,60min)을 비교하여 각 그룹별 LH, FSH Peak치 분포도와 LH 최고치/LH 기저치 비율에 대한 평균${\pm}$표준편차와 LH 최고치/FSH 최고치 비율에 대한 평균${\pm}$표준편차를 비교하여 각 3그룹 간 유의확률(P-value) 값을 구하였다. 골연령의 측정은 Greulich-Pyle법(왼쪽 수근골 X선 사진을 촬영하여 골성숙도를 평가하는 방법- 6개월 단위의 표준손목사진을 보고 비교해서 골연령을 유추하는 방식)을 이용한 소아 청소년 내분비내과 교수가 직접 판독한 결과로 사용하였고 GnRH 검사는 합성 LHRH 100 ug을 정맥 주사하여 LH는 Basal, 30분, 45분,60분 후에 채혈된 결과값과 FSH는 Basal, 30분, 60분후에 채혈된 결과값을 조사하였다. 3. 결과 진성성조숙증그룹의 평균 키는$131{\pm}14.85$, 평균체중은 $8.80{\pm}4.93$, 평균역연령은 $7.1{\pm}0.81$, 평균 골연령은 $9.9{\pm}0.9$, 조기사춘기 그룹의 평균키는 $134{\pm}5.10$, 평균체중은 $28.50{\pm}4.43$, 평균역연령은 $8.05{\pm}0.03$, 평균 골연령은 $10.0{\pm}0.62$, 유방조기발육군의 평균 키는 $129{\pm}6,01$ 평균체중은 $28.65{\pm}5.98$, 평균역연령은 $7.02{\pm}0.58$ 평균 골연령은 $8.04{\pm}1.29$로 세 그룹간에 키와 체중 비교 시 유의한 차이가 없었고 역연령(P < 0.0001), 골연령( P< 0.0001), 골연령과 역연령과의 차이(P < 0.0002 )에서는 그룹간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 각 그룹별 LH, FSH Peak치 분포도 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 LH 30분-82.5%, 45분-12.3%, 60분-5.3%, FSH 30분-8.8%, 60분-91.2%로 높은 Peak치를 보였고 조기사춘기 그룹은 LH 30분-79.5%, 45분-17.9%, 60분-2.6%, FSH 30분-7.7%, 60분 -92.32%로 높은 Peak치를 나타내었다. 유방조기 발육군 그룹에서는 LH 30분-30%, 45분-59%, 60분-9.09%, FSH 30분 -0%, 60분-100%로 Peak치를 나타내었다. LH Peak/LH basal ratio 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 $19.09{\pm}17.15$, 조기사춘기 그룹은 $15.23{\pm}10.88$ 유방조기 발육군 그룹은 $4.93{\pm}4.36$으로 3 그룹간 유의한 차이를 보였다(P < 0.0001). LH Peak/FSH Peak ratio 비교시 진성성조숙증 그룹은 $1.222{\pm}0.77$, 조기사춘기 그룹은 $1.34{\pm}1.23$ 유방조기 발육군 그룹은 $0.3{\pm}0.09$로 3 그룹간 유의한 차이(P < 0.0001)를 보였다. 4. 결론 여아들의 진성성조숙증을 진단하기 위한 GnRH Test 검사는 자극 후 30분과 60분 사이에 LH 최고치가 기저치에 비해 2~3배 이상 증가 되어 있거나 또는 5~10 IU/L 이상 증가되었을 때 유용한 판정 자료로 이용 될 수 있는 핵의학 연속검사라고 사료되어진다.

삽(?)은 유교 예법에 따른 상장례(喪葬禮) 도구로 나무로 틀을 만들고 그 위에 백포(白布)나 두꺼운 종이를 붙여 그림을 그린 후, 자루를 달아 들 수 있도록 한 것이다. "례기(禮記)"에 따르면 삽은 주대(周代)부터 사용되었던 것으로 기록되어 있는데, 우리나라의 "조선왕조실록(朝鮮王朝實錄)"이나 "국조오례의(國朝五禮儀)", "사례편람(四禮便覽)"에 나타난 삽의 용례와 크게 차이가 나지 않는다. 본고에서는 현존하는 조선시대 사대부가의 회격 회곽묘에서 발견되는 삽의 발굴 사례 및 문헌 기록을 통해 그 용례와 제작방식, 시기에 따른 유물의 특징에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 삽은 신분에 따라 사용하는 개수와 그리는 문양이 다른데, 사대부가에서는 주로 '아(亞)'형의 불삽 1쌍과 구름 문양을 그린 화삽 1쌍을 사용하였다. 삽의 크기는 너비가 2자[척(尺)], 높이 2자[척(尺] 4치[촌(寸)]로 만들었는데 초주지나, 저주지로 두 번 싸고, 세 번째는 연창지로 쌌다. 그리고 나서 백저포, 마포, 무명, 공단 등으로 덮었다. 그 양면에 보불을 그리고 구름 변아(邊兒)에 운기를 그리는데 대개 주사 또는 진사를 사용하였다. 사대부가 회격 회곽묘에서 출토되는 삽은 광중에 부장된 것으로, 삽자루와 분리된 형태이다. 즉, 출토되는 삽은 발인행렬시 삽을 매달았던 5자 길이의 삽자루는 태워 없애고, 관의 좌우에 세워 넣은 것이다. 출토 유물의 검토를 통해서도 제작과정을 유추할 수 있다. 출토된 유물은 각(角)의 개수에 따라 각이 3개 달린 것과 2개 달린 것으로 대별된다. 먼저 각이 3개 달린 것(유형 I) 중에는 나무 통판을 사용하거나 대나무를 납작하게 갈라, 바구니처럼 엮은 것도 있다. 각이 3개인 삽은 비교적 조선 전기에 집중되어 있으며, 전체적인 형태에 비해 그 제작방식이 다양한 편으로 생각된다. 반면 각이 2개 달린 삽의 경우에는 비교적 정형화된 제작방식이 보인다. 직사각형이나 역사다리꼴로 몸통부분을 만든 후, 2개의 각이 달린 삽의 윗부분을 연결한 형태이다. 다만 상단면을 곡선(유형 II) 또는 직선(유형 III)으로 처리하는 것이 다르다. 이러한 제작방식은 각이 3개 달린 것에 비해 간단하며, 제작기법 상의 차이는 크지 않다. 특히 상단면을 직선으로 처리하는 방식은 오늘날까지도 사용되고 있다. 분석에 사용된 30건 중 묘주의 몰년, 즉 삽의 제작 연대가 명확한 것만 선택하여 분석한 결과, 유형 I은 16세기 전반에 집중되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 이어 유형 II는 16세기 후반부터 17세기 후반, 유형 III은 17세기 전반부터 18세기 전반까지 고르게 분포하고 있다. 요컨대 삽의 형태는 유형 I에서 유형 II로, 다시 유형 II에서 유형 III으로 변화하고 있는 것으로 생각된다. 17세기는 변화의 시기로 유형 II III이 혼재되어 있다. 유형을 크게 3가지로 구분하였으나 유형 II III은 각이 2개인 측면에서 그 형태가 유사하다고 볼 때 주목할 만한 전환기는 16세기 중반이라고 볼 수 있다. 아마도 유형 I은 유형 II III에 비해 제작 과정상 공이 더 많이 들어갈 것으로 생각되며, 후대로 내려올수록 경제성의 원리에 따라 삽의 형태 및 제작방법도 간소해진 것으로 보인다. 상장례의 간소화 경향은 "선조실록(宣祖實錄)"에 예장(禮葬)이 몇 차례 중지되는 사건들을 통해 임진왜란 이후에 가속화된 변화로 볼 수 있다. 삽의 경우 이미 16세기 후반부터 간소화되고 있었으며, 심지어 18세기에는 삽을 따로 제작하지 않고 구의(柩衣) 및 관(棺)에 직접 그리는 현상까지 초래하였다. 그러나 형태적으로 단순화 되는 과정에도 "례기(禮記)"의 삽 사용 규정은 지켜지고 있어, 그 의례의 형식은 합리적으로 간소화되었음을 알 수 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
