위성 카메라의 두 밴드가 다른 관측 각(Look angle)으로 촬영 시, 두 밴드간의 정합이 요구된다. 밴드 정합(Band registration)은 플랫폼의 다이나믹스(Dynamics)와 시차효과로 인하여 상수매개변수(constant parameter)로 수학적인 모델을 수립하여 정합(registration)을 수행하기 어렵다. 시차효과는 지표면 표고에 의해 야기되는 현상으로 이는 두 밴드간 정합 특성이 지표면의 표고의 함수로 주어진다. 두 밴드간 정합이 성공적으로 이뤄지기 위하여 시차효과를 보상하는 표고시차보상기법이 요구된다. 이러한 표고시차보상은 특히 고해상도 영상정합에서 중요하다. 표고시차보상기법은 하나의 밴드를 다른 관측 각을 가지는 다수의 CCD라인으로 구성한 경우에도 적용이 가능하다. 한 밴드에서 촬영된CCD라인 영상들은 연결된CCD라인마다 다른 관측 각을 가짐으로CCD라인간 표고시차가 발생하여 CCD라인간 지상거리 차가 표고에 따라 증가되는 왜곡 현상이 나타나기 때문이다. 이를 보상하기 위해 기준밴드 또는 기준 CCD라인과 대상밴드 또는 대상 CCD라인간 영상과 지상간의 관계를 다항식을 사용하여 수학적으로 모델 하는RFM을 사용하였다. 실험결과, 표고시차가 존재하는 영상에 대해서도 제안된 기법으로 밴드 정합이 성공적으로 수행되는 것을 확인하였다.

조석의 효과가 대수층에 미치는 해안대수층에서 지하수-지표수 상호작용에 관한 모사를 위해 수치모델링을 이용하였다. 모사에 사용한 모델은 하천경계와 해안경계가 서로 직교하며 하천은 대수층을 부분관통하고 있다. 해안경계와 하천경계에 의한 영향을 각각 살펴보고 두 경계조건에 의한 동시효과를 함께 모사하였다. 모사기간동안 해안경계에 의한 영향은 일정한 범위까지만 나타났으나, 하천경계에 의한 영향은 시간의 증가에 따라 영향범위가 넓어졌다. 하천경계와 해안경계조건이 만나는 부근에서는 해안경계에 의한 지하수위의 반복적인 상승과 하강으로 인해 두 경계조건에 의한 지하수위가 상호 상승작용을 일으키기도 하고 상호 상쇄되어 지하수위의 변화가 없는 영역이 나타나기도 한다. 따라서 이러한 하천과 해안경계조건이 상호 교차하는 주변 대수층에서의 수위를 측정하여 해안대수층에서의 수리상수를 추정하면 수리확산계수를 과대 혹은 과소평가하는 오류를 범할 수 있으므로 주의를 요한다. 하천바닥의 컨덕턴스(conductance)와 하천의 폭이 주변 대수층에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위해 입력인자를 변화시키며 모사한 결과, 하천폭의 증가에 의한 주변 대수층에서의 지하수위 변화는 하천바닥의 면적이 증가함에 따라 하천바닥 전체에서 대수층으로 유동하는 유량이 증가하기 때문이다.

본 연구에서는 한반도의 주요 생태계인 활엽수림과 농경지에서 지면 모형 JULES(Joint UK Land Environment Simulator)으로 모의한 총일차생산량 (Gross Primary Productivity: GPP)과 생태계 호흡량 (ecosystem respiration: RE)의 수치 모사 결과에 영향을 미치는 주요 모수를 파악하였으며, 민감한 모수에 대해 실측자료를 사용함에 따른 모형 예측력의 개선 정도를 평가하였다. 민감도 실험의 결과, 활엽수림과 농경지에서 모두 JULES로 모의한 GPP는 잎 내부의 질소농도와 리불로오스이인산(RuBP) 카르복실화의 최대 속도에 가장 민감하였다. RE는 활엽수림에서는 목질부 탄소량과 엽면적지수를 연결시켜주는 상수에 가장 민감하였다. 반면에 농경지에서 수치모사된 RE는 GPP와 같이 각각 잎 내부의 질소 농도와 RuBP 카르복실화의 최대 속도에 가장 민감하였다. JULES로부터 제공된 모수의 값으로 모의된 두 지역의 GPP와 RE는 모두 관측값에 비해 과대평가되었다. 특히 활엽수림에서 GPP가 가장 민감하게 반응했던 잎 질소 농도의 실제 관측값이 모형에서 사용하는 기존 설정값의 50% 이하임을 고려할 때 모형에서 설정된 모수의 값으로 탄소 순환을 수치 모사할 경우에 모수의 기존 설정값과 실제값의 차이가 모형의 과다모의에 상당한 영향을 미침을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 한반도 탄소순환의 현실적인 모의를 위해서는 모형에서 요구되는 생물리학적 정보가 한반도 다양한 식생 기능 형태를 현실적으로 잘 반영하는지를 확인해야 할 뿐 아니라 지속적인 현장 관측을 통해서 생물리학적 정보와 관련된 자료기반을 마련하는 것이 중요하다.

N-13 암모니아 PET 동적영상을 이용하여 심근혈류량을 측정할 때, 부분용적효과와 스필오버현상을 보정하는 새로운 방법을 고안하고, 이 방법을 이용하여 측정한 심근혈류량을 2구획모델만을 이용한 종래의 방법과 비교, 분석하여 새로운 방법에 대한 효율성과 정확성을 고찰한다. 9명의 관상동맥 환자에서 20mCi의 N-13 암모니아를 안정상태와 부하상태에서 주사한 후, PET 동적영상을 얻어 심근의 3부분(중격, 전면벽, 측면벽)과 좌심실방에 관심영역을 그려 시간-방사능곡선을 얻었다. 심근의 3부분에 대한 심근혈류량과 스필오버분획을 기하학적 관심영역 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법과 종래의 2구획모델 방법으로 각각 구하였다. 이때 관심영역의 위치에 따른 심근혈류량을 알아보기 위해서 심근 밖에서 좌심실 중심쪽으로 20개의 관심영역을 그리고, 위의 두 방법을 이용하여 심근혈류량을 구하였다. 종래의 N-13 암모니아 2구획모델과 기하학적 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법으로 모델 합치 곡선을 구하였다. 관심영역 위치 변화에 대한 심근혈류량의 값을 종래의 방법과 새로운 방법으로 구하고, 부분용적효과를 정확하게 보정하기 위하여 관심영역을 심내막쪽에 설정하였다. 총 108개의 심근관심영역에서 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 구한 심근혈류량 사이의 회귀곡선 기울기는 1.57, 상관계수는 0.88이었다. 그리고 같은 방법으로 얻어진 스필오버분획들도 선형적 상관관계(r=1.00, 기울기=0.98)가 있었다. 결론적으로 N-13 암모니아 PET 동적영상과 기하학적 모델 개념을 2구획모델에 포함시킨 새로운 방법을 이용하여 구한 심근혈류량은 종래의 방법보다 더 효율적이며 정확하게 정량화되어짐을 알 수 있었으며, 앞으로 임상환경에서 심근혈류량 정량분석연구에 유용할 것이라고 생각한다. 환자 군에 비해 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.01). 결론적으로, 흉통을 호소한 환자에서 심근관류 신티그라피상 정상인 경우에는 심장사건의 발생율이 낮음을 알 수 있었고, 특히 관동맥조영술에 관동맥병변이있는 환자와 없는 환자간에 1차 심장사건의 발생율에 유의한 차이가 없는 것을 고려하면, 심근관류 신티그라피가 정상소견을 보이는 흉통환자는 정상 관동맥조영술 소견을 보이는 환자에 준하여 치료하여도 좋을 것으로 사료되었다.리고 0.19, 0.40, 0.53, 0.61이었다. 실제 속도상수의 비 $k_3/k_4$에 대한 (BG-OCC)/OCC와 $R_A,\;R_v$간의 상관계수는 각각 0.983, 0.984, 0.999이었으며 그때의 기울기는 각각 1.76, 0.47, 1.25이었다. 결 론 : IPT 약역학은 시간이 흐름에 따라 혈류량의 변동에 비해 도파민 운반체량의 변동에 더욱 민감한 경향을 보였으며 $k_3/k_4$에 대한 (BG-OCC)/OCC, $R_A,\;R_v$의 결과간에 좋은 상관관계를 가졌다. 따라서 이러한 약역학 컴퓨터시뮬레이션이 SPECT 영상을 이용한 도파민 운반체 또는 수용체 정량분석을 최적화하는데 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.TEX>-CIT SPECT는 파킨슨병의 조기진단 및 진행 추적에 임상적으로 유용할 것으로 판단된다., SCC 4예, AC 1예)였으며, 11예 중 9예(81.8%)에서 방사선학적 검사결과와 Tc-99m MIBI섭취율의 변화가 일치하였다. 결론적으로, Tc-99m MIBI SPECT는 폐암병소의 국소화 및 방사선치료 효과의 판정에 어느정도 유용하리라 사료되었다.냈고 4명에서는 low CBD obstruction을 나타내었으며 후에 CBD stone, CBD carcinoma,

For the last few decades, many studies have tried to explore and unveil venture companies' success factors and unique features in order to identify the sources of such companies' competitive advantages over their rivals. Such venture companies have shown tendency to give high returns for investors generally making the best use of information technology. For this reason, many venture companies are keen on attracting avid investors' attention. Investors generally make their investment decisions by carefully examining the evaluation criteria of the alternatives. To them, credit rating information provided by international rating agencies, such as Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch is crucial source as to such pivotal concerns as companies stability, growth, and risk status. But these types of information are generated only for the companies issuing corporate bonds, not venture companies. Therefore, this study proposes a method for evaluating venture businesses by presenting our recent empirical results using financial data of Korean venture companies listed on KOSDAQ in Korea exchange. In addition, this paper used multi-class SVM for the prediction of DEA-based efficiency rating for venture businesses, which was derived from our proposed method. Our approach sheds light on ways to locate efficient companies generating high level of profits. Above all, in determining effective ways to evaluate a venture firm's efficiency, it is important to understand the major contributing factors of such efficiency. Therefore, this paper is constructed on the basis of following two ideas to classify which companies are more efficient venture companies: i) making DEA based multi-class rating for sample companies and ii) developing multi-class SVM-based efficiency prediction model for classifying all companies. First, the Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) is a non-parametric multiple input-output efficiency technique that measures the relative efficiency of decision making units(DMUs) using a linear programming based model. It is non-parametric because it requires no assumption on the shape or parameters of the underlying production function. DEA has been already widely applied for evaluating the relative efficiency of DMUs. Recently, a number of DEA based studies have evaluated the efficiency of various types of companies, such as internet companies and venture companies. It has been also applied to corporate credit ratings. In this study we utilized DEA for sorting venture companies by efficiency based ratings. The Support Vector Machine(SVM), on the other hand, is a popular technique for solving data classification problems. In this paper, we employed SVM to classify the efficiency ratings in IT venture companies according to the results of DEA. The SVM method was first developed by Vapnik (1995). As one of many machine learning techniques, SVM is based on a statistical theory. Thus far, the method has shown good performances especially in generalizing capacity in classification tasks, resulting in numerous applications in many areas of business, SVM is basically the algorithm that finds the maximum margin hyperplane, which is the maximum separation between classes. According to this method, support vectors are the closest to the maximum margin hyperplane. If it is impossible to classify, we can use the kernel function. In the case of nonlinear class boundaries, we can transform the inputs into a high-dimensional feature space, This is the original input space and is mapped into a high-dimensional dot-product space. Many studies applied SVM to the prediction of bankruptcy, the forecast a financial time series, and the problem of estimating credit rating, In this study we employed SVM for developing data mining-based efficiency prediction model. We used the Gaussian radial function as a kernel function of SVM. In multi-class SVM, we adopted one-against-one approach between binary classification method and two all-together methods, proposed by Weston and Watkins(1999) and Crammer and Singer(2000), respectively. In this research, we used corporate information of 154 companies listed on KOSDAQ market in Korea exchange. We obtained companies' financial information of 2005 from the KIS(Korea Information Service, Inc.). Using this data, we made multi-class rating with DEA efficiency and built multi-class prediction model based data mining. Among three manners of multi-classification, the hit ratio of the Weston and Watkins method is the best in the test data set. In multi classification problems as efficiency ratings of venture business, it is very useful for investors to know the class with errors, one class difference, when it is difficult to find out the accurate class in the actual market. So we presented accuracy results within 1-class errors, and the Weston and Watkins method showed 85.7% accuracy in our test samples. We conclude that the DEA based multi-class approach in venture business generates more information than the binary classification problem, notwithstanding its efficiency level. We believe this model can help investors in decision making as it provides a reliably tool to evaluate venture companies in the financial domain. For the future research, we perceive the need to enhance such areas as the variable selection process, the parameter selection of kernel function, the generalization, and the sample size of multi-class.

가뭄과 홍수의 예측, 기후변화가 유역 유출량, 더 나아가 수질 및 생태계에 미치는 영향의 정확한 분석을 위해서는 수문 모의 과정의 불확실성을 정량화하고 최소화하기 위한 노력이 필요하다. 수문자료동화는 수문모형의 상태량이나 매개변수를 갱신(update)하여 모의 초기 조건의 가장 가능성 있는 추정치를 생성하는 기법으로, 실시간 관측 정보를 이용하여 예측 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 airGRdatassim 모형을 이용하여 앙상블 기반 순차 자료동화 기법인 앙상블 칼만 필터와 파티클 필터로 용담댐 유역에 대해 일 유출을 모의하고, 자료동화 기법별 특성을 비교 및 분석하였다. 모의 결과, Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE) 지표가 자료동화 적용 전 0.799에서 앙상블 칼만 필터와 파티클 필터 적용시 각각 0.826, 0.933으로 향상되었다. 또한 기상 강제력 노이즈의 범위, 갱신 대상 상태량 설정, 앙상블 수 등 수문자료동화의 설정과 관련된 하이퍼-매개변수(hyper-parameter)의 불확실성이 모의 예측 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 강수 및 잠재 증발산 강제력의 오차 범위에 대한 민감도 분석 결과, 모든 모의 범위에서 파티클 필터가 앙상블 칼만 필터보다 예측 성능이 우수하였다. 파티클 필터는 기상 강제력 오차 크기가 작을수록 모의 성능이 향상되었으며, 앙상블 칼만 필터는 상대적으로 오차가 큰 경우 최적 성능이 확인되었다. 한편, 자료동화시 갱신되는 상태량의 종류를 줄일수록 자료동화에 의한 모의 성능은 감소하였다. 본 연구의 모의 실험 결과는 앙상블 자료동화를 이용하여 일 유출 모의 정확도 향상이 가능하지만, 최적 성능을 발휘하기 위해서는 수문자료동화 기법별 하이퍼-매개변수의 적정한 조정이 필요함을 함의한다.

기후변화가 고착화되면서 강수와 기온 변동으로 인한 가뭄 및 홍수 발생이 증가하고 있다. 유역 단위의 유출량 예측은 기후변화로 인한 자연재해에 대비하기 위한 수자원 관리의 시작이라 할 수 있다. 하지만, 기후변화와 유출모형의 불확실성은 정확한 유출 분석을 어렵게 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 불확실성을 완화하기 위하여 기후 스트레스 시나리오에 따른 두 개의 집중형 수문모형, 즉 IHACRES와 GR4J를 이용하여 강수 및 기온 변화에 따른 유출량 변화를 비교, 분석하였다. 연구 대상 지역은 합천댐과 섬진강댐 유역이며, Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) 및 Kling Gupta Efficiency (KGE)를 목적함수로 하여 각 모형의 매개변수를 최적화하였다. 모형의 보정과 검정은 20년(1995년-2014년)의 유출자료를 활용하였으며, 보정 및 검정 기간은 각각 7:3 비율로 설정하였다. 두 모형 모두 보정과 검정 기간에 비교적 높은 신뢰도(NSE>0.74, KGE>0.75)를 보여, 모형이 과거 사상을 재현하기에 적합하고, 모의 결과가 비교적 유사함을 확인하였다. 다음으로, 기후변동이 유출에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 동일한 모의 기간에 대해 강수는 -50 %에서 +50 %의 범위를 1 %씩, 기온은 0 ℃에서 8 ℃까지 0.1 ℃씩 구분하여 총 8,181개의 기후조건 시나리오를 구축하였다. 이후, 기후 스트레스 시나리오에 따른 두 모형의 최대유량, 풍수량, 평수량을 비교 및 분석하였다. 기후 스트레스 영향을 반영한 연최대유량과 풍수량의 경우, 강수 감소에 따른 유출 패턴은 두 모형에서 비슷하였으나, 강수와 기온이 증가할수록 상이한 결과를 얻었다. 이와 반대로, 풍수량의 경우 강수와 기온 변화의 차이가 커질수록 두 모형은 유사한 결과를 얻었다. 즉, 유역의 탄력적 기후변화 대응을 위해서는 모형의 불확실성에 대한 정량적 평가가 필요하다는 것을 시사한다.

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.
