  • 주택용 소형 퇴비화용기에 의한 부엌쓰레기의 퇴비화 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 두가지 용기 (Type 3 과 Type 4)를 제작하여 실험실 실험을 통하여 조사하였다. 두용기의 구조는 다 같이 용기의 벽을 이중으로 하였으며 Type 4는 보온을 하였고 Type 3은 보온을 하지 않았다. 겨울철 실험을 통하여 type 3은 우리나라의 기후여건에 사용이 불가능한 것으로 판단되어 봄철 및 여름철 실험에서 제외하였다. 따라서 Type 4에 대한 3 계절 실험결과를 요 약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 퇴비화기간 중 상승한 최고온도는 겨울 $43^{\circ}C$, 봄철 $55^{\circ}C$ 그리고 여릅철 $56^{\circ}C$ 였다. 2) 퇴비화원료물질의 무게는 8주 후 평균 63.3% 그리고 부피는 78% 감소하였다. 3) 퇴비층의 밀도는 겨울철 1.5kg/l, 봄철 0.8kg/1 그리고 여름철 0.8kg/1였다. 4) 수분함량은 전 퇴비화기간 동안 큰 변동이 없었으며 8주 후 겨울철 79.3%, 봄철 75.0% 그리고 여름철 70.0%였다. 5) pH 는 모두 첫주에 증가한 후 2주째에 감소하였다. 그 이후는 계절별 차이는 있었으나 계속 증가하였다. 8주 후 pH는 겨울철 6.19, 봄철 7.59 그리고 여름철에 8.69였다. 6) 퇴비화시간의 경과에 따른 회분 및 유기물함량은 분해속도가 빠를수록 증감현상이 뚜렷하였고 cellulose 및 lignin은 증가, hemicellulose 함량은 감소하였다. 7) 질소함량은 3.3-6.8%로 높았으며, 특히 여름철에 대단히 높았다. 암모늄태 질소함량은 전반에 증가했다가 감소하였으며 겨울철 8주째 2.404mg/kg, 봄철 3주째 12,400mg/kg 그리고 여름철 3주째 20,718mg/kg으로 가장 높았다. C/N율은 퇴비화기간의 경과에 따라 감소하였으나 차이는 크지 않았다. 여름철에 질산화가 가장 활발하였다. 8) 휘발성 및 고급유기산함량은 초기에 증가했다가 계절별로 시기적 차이는 있으나 감소하였다. 총 유기산의 최고농도는 겨울철 6주째 9.7%, 봄철 6주째 14.8% 그리고 여름철에는 2주째 15.8%였다. 9) 퇴비의 부숙도와는 무관하게 각 무기성분함량은 $P_2O_5$ 0.9-4.4%, $K_2O$ 1.6-2.4%, CaO 2.2-5.4% 그리고 MgO 0.30-0.61%였다. 10) CN 및 각종 중금속함량도 퇴비화시간의 경과에 따라 큰 변화가 없었으며 각 함량범위는 계절 구분없이 CN 0.21-14.55 mg/kg, Zn 11-166 mg/kg, Cu 5-65 mg/kg, Cd 0.5-10.8 mg/kg, Pb 6-35 mg/kg, Cr ND-33 mg/kg 그리고 Hg ND-302.04 g/kg 이였으며 중금속 역시 다른 무기성분들과 마찬가지로 퇴비화가 진행되면서 축적되지는 않았다.

  • 본 연구에서 새롭게 도출된 총알칼리도($Alk_T$)와 총이산화탄소($TCO_2$) 분석방법의 정밀도와 정확도를 확인하기 위해 스크립스 해양 연구소에서 제조된 이산화탄소 표준물질(Batch 132; $Alk_T=2229.24{\pm}0.39{\mu}mol/kg$, $TCO_2=2032.65{\pm}0.45{\mu}mol/kg$)을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 총알칼리도와 총이산화탄소의 평균 농도는 각각 $2354.09{\mu}mol/kg$$2089.60{\mu}mol/kg$으로 제시된 농도 값과 총알칼리도는 약 5.6%, 총이산화탄소는 약 2.3%의 차이를 보였다. 기존의 알칼리도 측정방법(Gran Titration)과 본 연구 분석 방법을 중탄산나트륨($NaHCO_3$) 0.340 g($Alk_T$ $2023.33{\mu}mol/kg$) 용액에 적용하여 비교 실험을 진행한 결과, 기존의 방법으로 측정된 중탄산나트륨의 평균 알칼리도 농도는 $2193.39{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=57.15, n=7)이었고, 본 연구방법의 경우 $2017.02{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=10.98, n=7)의 알칼리도 평균 농도를 보였다. 또한, 초순수와 해수에 중탄산 나트륨을 첨가해 총알칼리도의 수득률(recovery yield)을 측정한 실험에서 초순수에 대한 첨가실험은 다양한 농도 변화 범위($0{\sim}4952.39{\mu}mol/kg$) 내에서 평균 약 100.8%($R^2$=0.999), 해수에 대한 첨가실험은 다양한 농도 변화 범위($0{\sim}2041.32{\mu}mol/kg$)내에서 평균 약 102.3%($R^2$=0.999)로 나타났다. 해수의 이산화탄소 분압($pCO^2$)을 측정하는 Pro Oceanus사의 PSI-Pro$^{TM}$을 사용하여 측정된 이산화탄소 분압과 본 연구를 통해 측정된 $H_2CO_3^*$ 농도와의 비교 실험을 시행한 결과, 약 2주간의 경시변화 실험을 통하여 측정된 이산화탄소 분압은 $427{\sim}705{\mu}atm$의 변화를 보였고, 본 연구방법으로 측정된 $H_2CO_3^*$의 농도는 $9.15{\sim}15.24{\mu}mol/kg$의 변화를 보였다. 측정된 분압과 계산된 $H_2CO_3^*$ 농도의 결정계수($R^2$)는 0.977로 나타났다. 본 연구방법을 적용해 동해 강릉 사천항의 표층 해수 중의 총알칼리도와 총이산화탄소의 일 변화 측정실험 결과, 두 항목의 농도는 일몰 이후 증가하고 일출 이후부터는 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 총이산화탄소와 용존산소의 농도는 상반되는 경향을 나타냈는데 이는 식물플랑크톤의 광합성과 호흡의 영향으로 생각된다. 현장 선상에서 시행된 북동태평양의 클라리온-클리퍼톤 균열대(Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone)에서 총알칼리도와 총이산화탄소의 측정실험 결과, 표층(0~60 m)과 저층(200~2000 m)에서 총알칼리도의 평균 농도는 각각 $2422.38{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=78.73, n=20)과 $2465.87{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=57.68, n=103)로 측정되었고, 표층과 저층저층의 총이산화탄소 평균 농도는 각각 $2134.47{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=65.40, n=20)과 $2431.87{\mu}mol/kg$(sd=65.02, n=103)으로 측정되었다. 총알칼리도와 총이산화탄소의 수직 분포는 수심이 증가할수록 점차 농도가 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었으며, 측정된 농도 결과는 부근해역에서의 기존 연구결과보다 약간 높은 경향을 보였다.

  • 최근 딥러닝 기술이 주목을 받고 있다. 대중들의 관심을 받았던 국제 이미지 인식 기술 대회(ILSVR)와 알파고(AlphaGo)에서 사용된 딥러닝 기술이 바로 합성곱 신경망(CNN; Convolution Neural Network)이다. 합성곱 신경망은 입력 이미지를 작은 구역으로 나누어 부분적인 특징을 인식하고 이것을 결합하여 전체를 인식하는 특징을 가진다. 이러한 딥러닝 기술이 우리의 생활에 있어 많은 변화를 야기할 것이라는 기대를 주고 있지만 현재까지는 이미지 인식과 자연어 처리 등에 그 성과가 국한되어 있다. 비즈니스 문제에 대한 딥러닝 활용은 아직까지 초기 연구 단계로 향후 마케팅 응답 예측이나 허위 거래 식별, 부도 예측과 같은 전통적 비즈니스 문제들에 대해 보다 깊게 활용되고 그 성능이 입증된다면 딥러닝 기술의 활용 가치가 보다 더 주목받게 될 것으로 기대된다. 이러한 때 비교적 고객 식별이 용이하고 활용 가치가 높은 빅데이터를 보유하고 있는 전자상거래 기업의 사례를 바탕으로 하여 딥러닝 기술의 비즈니스 문제 해결 가능성을 진단해보는 것은 학술적으로 매우 의미 있는 시도라 할 수 있겠다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전자상거래 기업의 고객 행태 예측력을 높이기 위한 방안으로 합성곱 신경망을 활용한 '이종 정보 결합(Heterogeneous Information Integration)의 CNN 모델'을 제시한다. 이는 정형과 비정형 정보를 결합하여 다층 퍼셉트론 구조의 합성곱 신경망에서 학습시키는 모델로서 최적의 성능을 발휘하도록 '이종 정보 결합'과 '비정형 정보의 벡터 전환', 그리고 '다층 퍼셉트론 설계'로 하는 3개의 내부 아키텍처를 정의하고 각 아키텍처 단위로 구성되는 방식에 따른 성능을 평가하여 그 결과를 바탕으로 제안 모델을 확정하고 그 성능을 평가해보고자 한다. 고객 행태 예측을 위한 목표 변수는 전자상거래 기업에서 중요하게 관리하고 있는 재구매 고객, 이탈 고객, 고빈도 구매 고객, 고빈도 반품 고객, 고단가 구매 고객, 고할인 구매 고객 등 모두 6개의 이진 분류 문제로 정의한다. 제안한 모델의 유용성을 검증하기 위해서 국내 특정 전자상거래 기업의 실제 데이터를 활용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 결과 정형과 비정형 정보를 결합하여 CNN을 활용한 제안 모델이 NBC(Naïve Bayes classification)과 SVM(Support vector machine), 그리고 ANN(Artificial neural network)에 비해서 예측 정확도와 F1 Measure가 높게 평가되었다. 또 NBC, SVM, ANN에서 정형 정보만을 사용할 때 보다 정형과 비정형 정보를 결합하여 입력 변수로 함께 활용한 경우에 예측 정확도가 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 실험 결과로부터 비정형 정보의 활용이 고객 행태 예측의 정확도 향상에 기여한다는 점과 CNN 기법의 특징 추출 알고리즘이 VOC에 사용된 단어들의 분포와 위치 정보를 해석하여 문장의 의미를 파악하는데 효과적이라는 점을 실증적으로 확인하였다는데 그 의미가 있다고 할 수 있겠다. 이를 통해서 CNN 기법이 지금까지 소개된 이미지 인식이나 자연어 처리 분야 외에 비즈니스 문제 해결에도 활용 가치가 높다는 점을 확인하였다는데 이 연구의 의의가 있다 하겠다.

  • 본 연구는 2002년 11월부터 2004년 2월까지 수심이 얕은 부영양상태의 저수지에서계절에 따른 수질변화와이에 대한 유입 부하량 영향을 평가하기 위해 이루어졌다. 수심간의 수온차가 $1^{\circ}C\;m^{-1}$ 이상의 수온약층이 5월에 형성되었고, 심층에서 2 mg $O_2\;L^{-1}$ 이하의 낮은 산소농도가 5월부터 9월까지 관찰되었다. $Z_{eu}/Z_{m}$은 0.2${\sim}$l.1의 범위로 수온약층 형성으로 혼합 층이 수심 4m근처이고 유광대 층이 수심 4.3m였던 5월을 제외하고는 대부분의 기간 동안에 유광대층에 비해 혼합층의 수심이 깊은 것으로 나타났다. 수체내 질소는 1.1 ${\sim}$ 4.5 mg N $L^{-1}$ 의범위로, 대부분이 용존 형태(Avg. 58.7%)로 존재하고 있었으며 결빙된 수표면의 해빙 시에 암모니아성 질소와 질산성질소가 증가하였다. 저수지내 총인 농도는43.g${\sim}$126.6 ${\mu}g\;P\;L^{-1}$범위로 대부분은 입자성인의 형태(Avg. 80%)로 존재하고 있었다. 용존무기인 농도는 심층에서의 일시적인 증가가 관찰된 7월과 8월을 제외하고는 10 ${\mu}g\;P\;L^{-1}$ 이하였다. 엽록소 a 농도의 뚜렷한 증가는인 유입부하량이 많았던 7월 (99 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$)과 11월 (109 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$)에 관찰되었고 수체내 총인과 양의 상관성을 보였다(r=0.55, P<0.008, n=22).수층간의 평균 엽록소 a 농도는11월 8일에 84.5${\pm}$29.0 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$으로 가장 높았고 2월에13.5${\pm}$ 1.0 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$로 가장 낮았다. 유입수량이 증가할 수록유입수내 층인 농도도 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며(r=0.69,P<0.001), 1년 중 강우량이 많았던 7월 25일 하루동안에 연간 총인 유입부하량의 40.5%가 유입되었고, 11월 8일에도 17.1%가 유입되었다. 유역으로부터 유입되는총인 부하량은 159.0kg P $yr^{-1}$였고, 식물플랑크톤에 의해직접 이용 될 수 있는 용존무기인 부하량은 126.3 kg P $yr^{-1}$로 총인의 77.7%에 해당하였다. 총 질소 부하량은 5.0 ton $yr^{-1}$로 총 인 부하량(159.0 kg P $yr^{-1}$)에 비해 30배 정도 많았으며, 총질소 부하 중 무기질소 부하량은3.9 ton $yr^{-1}$로 총 질소의 78%였다. 인 임계 부하량은 1.6 g ${\cdot}$ $m^{-2}$${\cdot}$$yr^{-1}$으로 과잉임계부하량을 상회하는 수준 이였다. 본 연구결과 저수지의 유역으로부터 유입되는 많은양의 유입 인 부하는 저수지 수질의 계절적인 변화 뿐 만아니라 부영양화의 가장 큰 원인으로 나타났으며, 중영양상태의 수질을 유지하기 위해서는 총인 유입부하량(159 kg $yr^{-1}$)의 71%가 감소되어야 할 필요성이 제기되었다. 또한 여름철 심층 산소 고갈이 야기되었고, 이 시기에 퇴적물로 용출된 인이 식물플랑크톤 성장에 이용될 수 있기때문에 퇴적물에 대한 관리도 수행될 필요가 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. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules.

  • The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen.

  • 슬관절은 발생초 중간대에서 관절원판, 관절내인대 및 활액막세포들이 분화, 발육한다. 최근 관절경을 이용한 수술이 활발히 진행되고 있는 이때 관절내 구조들의 재생과정을 이해하기 위하여 이들의 발육과정을 전자현미경으로 관찰함은 매우 의의 있는 일이라 생각된다. 본 연구는 태생 초기부터 말기까지의 인태아를 대상으로 슬관절의 관절강 발생에서 중간대의 중간층세포의 운명과 활액막, 관절원판 및 관절내인대의 분화, 발육과정을 전자현미경으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 좌고 30mm(태령 9주)때 십자인대와 관절원판의 원기들이 출현하였고 초기 관절강은 40mm(태령 10주)때 중간대의 중간층이 연골형성층에 결합하여 출현하였다. 반월연골은 60mm(태령 12주)때 간엽세포에서 섬유모세포로 분화하였고 100mm(태령 15주)때 섬유모세포는 내측에서는 난원형을, 중간과 외측에서는 장타원형을 각각 취하였다. 260mm(태령 30주)때 교원섬유의 주행은 내측에서 평행히 달리고 중간에서는 평행 또는 방사상 방향을, 외측에서는 상호교차 방향을 하고 있었다. 십자인대는 30mm때 섬유모세포로 분화하였고 세포질에 조면내형질망과 사립체를 함유하고 있었다. 교원원섬유는 섬유모세포의 돌기내에서 출현하였다. 100mm때는 교원 원세포는 세포의 간격을 가득 채우고 있었다. 260mm때 섬유모세포는 난원형 또는 방추상 핵을 가지고 있었고 교원섬유를 싸고 있지 않았으며 교원원섬유는 평행 또는 파상 방향으로 달리고 있었다. 활액막은 관절강의 초기 출현과 동시에 발생하였고 관절강이 확대되는 60mm때는 A와 B세포로 구분되었다. 100 mm때 활액막세포는 B세포가 대다수였고 B세포는 세포질에 다량의 조면내형질망과 잘 발달된 골지복합체를 함유하고 있었고 A세포는 사상위족, 음소포, 용해소체 및 공포를 가지고 있었다. 260mm에도 B세포가 대다수 관찰되었다. 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Estradiol benzoate를 4일간 매일 일정량을 투여한 흰쥐의 난관섬모세포내 $\alpha-tubulin$의 면역반응은 estradiol 투여후 1일, 3일 및 5일군에서 강한 반응을 나타내었다. 2. Estradiol beozoate를 4일간 투여한 후 cia-platin을 투여한 흰쥐 난관섬모세포내 $\alpha-tubulin$ 반응은 cis-platin 투여 1일군과 3일군에서 약한 반응을 나타내었으나 제 5일군에서는 강한 반응으로 회복되었다. 3. Cis-platin투여한 후 제 1일 및 3일군의 흰쥐 난관 섬모세포내 $\alpha-tubulin$반응은 첨부세포질에서는 감소되었고 기저체, 섬모등에서는 $\alpha-tubulin$반응이 대조군과 비교하면 변동이 없었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 난관섬모세포내 $\alpha-tubulin$은 cis-platin투여에 의해 감소되는 것으로 결론 지을 수 있었다.調節) 작용(作用)에 중요한 역할을 하는 것이라 사료된다. 해수(海水)에 적응(適應)된 대부분의 틸라피아는 신장(腎臟)의 보우만 주머니를 가득 채운 신사구체(腎絲球體)를 가지고 있으며, 신사구체(腎絲球體)의 수축은 담수(淡水)에 적응된 개체보다 10%o, 20%o, 30%o에 적응된 개체에서 훨씬 더 많이 발생되었고, 울혈현상(鬱血現象)은 10%o보다 20%o, 30%o에 적응(適應)된 개체의 신장조직(腎臟組織)에서 더많이 발생되었다. 틸라피아의 신사구체(腎絲球體)는 담수(淡水)에서 10%o의 해수(海水)로 이주된지 14일(日) 이후에 신장(腎臟)에서 수축된 것으로 나타났다. 30%o의 해수(海水)에 적응(適應)된 틸라피아의 평균 신사구체(腎絲球體)의 면적은 담수(淡水)에 적응된 개체의 면적보다

  • 뽕나무의 古條揷木에 있어서 不定根의 發根力과 가장 密接한 關係가 있다고 생각되는 要因으로서 揷穗의 組織學的인 差異와 生理作用에 重要한 役割을 하는 生長調節物質을 生物的으로 檢定하고, 그 物質의 作用과 糖類, C/N率, 核酸, 아미노酸等 含有物質이 뽕나무의 發根力과 어떤 關係가 있는지를 究明하기 爲한 試驗을 實施하여 다음과 같은 結果를 얻었다. 1. 뽕나무는 系統과 品種에 따라 그 發根力에 큰 差가 있었다. 發根력力이 가장 强한 系統은 M. Lhou(51.00%${\pm}$, 그 다음이 M. alba(37.27%${\pm}$47.59)이며, M. bombycis(31.25%${\pm}$29.11)가 가장 낮았다. 그리고 品種的으로는 檢持, 仲間木, 甲選, 薄葉魯桑이 發根力이 가장 强했고 改良鼠返, 荊桑, 鶴田이 가장 弱했다. 2. 古條揷木에 있어서 發根力과 密接한 關係가 있는 組織的인 差는 厚膜組織을 이루는 石細胞群의 配列狀態로서 發根力이 弱한 品種은 皮層內에 이 組織이 2~3層으로 連結되어 있었고, 發根이 强한 品種群은 連結되어 있지 않고 分散되어 적은 數가 존재하였다. 3. 根基組織과 發根力과의 關係는 發根力이 强한 品種일 수록 그 突出程度가 높은 正의 相關($r=0.78^*$)을 나타내었고, 原始木部의 長 및 幅과도 正의 相關($r=0.73^*$)이 認定되었으며, 皮目과는 가지 表面에 차지하는 面積이 클수록 間接的인 要因의 하나였다. 4. 揷穗에서 抽出한 生長調節物質을 綠豆 幼胚軸을 利用한 生物的 檢定結果 發根力이 强한 品種群에서는 全般的으로 發根을 促進하는 物質의 活性이 높았고 發根力이 弱한 品種群에서는 發根을 抑制하는 物質의 活性이 높은 傾向을 보였다. 5. 發根力이 强한 品種群에서 나타난 發根促進 物質로는 $R_f$ 0~0.1이 phenolic substance로 推測되는 物質이며 $R_f$ 0.3~0.5의 物質은 indole acetic acid이었고 $R_f$ 0.8~1.0은 indole acetic nitrile로 推定되는 生長促進 物質이었다. 6. 揷穗內 各 組織의 生長調節物質은 量的 또는 그들간의 均衡이 다르게 存在하는데 이들 物質은 相助的으로 作用하므로서 發根에 영향을 미치고 特히 冬芽로부터 下降하는 物質이 없으면 發根이 되지 않았는데 그 決定的인 作用時期는 揷木後 1週日間이었다. 7. 發根과 깊은 關係가 있는 揷穗內의 營養物質로서는 炭水化物 및 全糖의 含量이 發根과 各各 正의 相關($r=0.72^*$, $r=0.67^*$)이 認定되었으나 還元糖과는 負相의 相關($r=-0.75^*$)을 나타내었으며 澱粉과는 負의 傾向値를 나타내었다. 8. 發根에 關與하는 營養要素로서 C/N率은 높을수록 發根率이 높았는데($r=0.67^*$) 이것은 炭水化物 含量이 높은데 基因하였다. 9. RNA 및 DNA 含量과 發根力과의 關係는 揷水 當時에는 RNA 및 DNA 含量의 差異가 없었으나 揷水後 RNA의 含量은 發根力이 强한 品種群이 弱한 品種群에 比하여 2週間 顯著히 增加하는 傾向을 보였다. 10. 아니모酸과 發根力과의 關係는 發根力이 높은 品種群에서 aspartic acid 및 cystine의 含量이 높은 傾向을 보였다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 목초액 함유 활성탄(activated charcoal, AC)의 급여가 산란계에서 난생산성, 난질과 난각질, 혈액 내 콜레스테롤 분획과 효소 활성 및 난황 내 지질 조성의 변화에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위해 실시하였다. 총 192수의 56주령 Lohmann 갈색 계통의 실용 산란계를 4개의 처리구로 나누어 0% AC, 0.5% AC, 1% AC 및 2% AC를 함유하는 실험 사료를 각각 5주간 급여하였다. 사료 섭취량과 난 생산성은 매일 기록하였으며 할란 검사는 주 단위로 실시하였다. 사양실험 종료 시 각 공시계로부터 혈액을 채취하여 혈청 콜레스테롤 농도, GOT 및 GPT 활성을 조사하였다. 실험 종료일에 수거한 계란을 할란하여 난질을 검사한 후 난황을 채취하여 난황 내 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성을 측정하였고, 실험 3주와 5주의 계란을 1일, 7일, 14일간 저장 한 후 난황막 강도를 측정하였다. 난 생산성, 사료 섭취량 및 난황막 강도에서는 처리간에 큰 차이가 관찰되지 않았으나, AC 2% 첨가구에서 난각강도와 Haugh unit의 유의한 개선이 관찰되었다(P<0.05). 난황계수 역시 AC 2% 첨가구에서 유의하게 증가하였으며, 난황색은 대조구에 비해 AC를 첨가한 모든 처리구에서 유의하게 개선되었다(P<0.05). 저장시간의 경과에 따른 계란의 보존성을 난황막 강도를 지표로 조사하였을 때 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었으나, 활성탄의 첨가가 난황막 강도의 저하를 다소 완화시키는 효과가 관찰되었다. 혈청 내 GOT 및 GPT 농도에서는 처리구간에 큰 차이가 없었으며, 혈청 콜레스테롤과 HDL-콜레스테롤 농도에서도 AC 첨가 효과는 인정되지 않았다. 난황 내 총지질 함량은 선형적으로 감소하였는데, AC 1%와 2% 첨가구에서 유의하게 낮아지는 결과를 나타내었다(P<0.05). 난황 내 총 콜레스테롤 함량과 지방산 조성에서는 처리간에 큰 차이는 나타나지 않았다.본 연구에서는 산란계 사료 내 AC의 첨가 급여가 난각 강도, Haugh unit 및 난황색, 난황계수를 개선시킴으로서 고품질 계란 생산을 위한 기능성 첨가제로서 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.
