본 연구는 서울 지역에 거주하는 일부 여대생을 대상으로 식생활 평가를 기준으로 두 그룹으로 분류하여 식생활 습관, 신체 발달, 건강습관 및 혈액 인자를 비교하여 건강상 문제를 일으킬 수 있는 원인을 찾아내어 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 실시하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 신장과 체중의 평균값은 각각 $162.02{\pm}4.89\;cm$과 $53.96{\pm}7.00\;kg$으로 조사되었다. 여대생의 식생활을 진단하기 위해 3점 척도로 살펴 본 결과, 전체 여대생의 식생활 진단 성적(1~10항목)은 평균 21.2점이었다. 평소 식사시간이 규칙적인 전체 여대생은 67.6%였으며, 아침식사를 매일 하는 여대생이 전체 중 30.5%에 불과하였으며, 주 중 최소한 한 번 이상은 결식하였다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유로는 '아침시간이 바쁘거나'(60.8%), '늦게 일어나서'(23.0%) 아침을 거르는 경우가 응답자의 83.8%나 되었다. 83.5%의 여대생은 가끔 또는 자주 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 외식시 한식을 선호하였다. 여대생이 하루에 주로 1~2회 간식을 하였으며, 편식을 '자주 한다.'는 비율은 40.4%나 되었다. Good group에서는 간식으로 빵류 및 감자(39.3%), 탄산음료 및 빙과류(36.8%)를 섭취하였으며, Poor group에서는 우유 및 유제품(38.0%), 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품(22.8%)을 간식으로 섭취하였다. 전체 조사 대상자의 열량 섭취량은 $2,332.87{\pm}747.91\;kcal$로 한국인 영양 섭취 기준 중 20~29세 여성의 열량 필요 추정량으로 제시된 2,100 kcal보다 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 열량, 지방, 비타민 $B_2$, $B_6$, niacin, 엽산, 칼슘, 철, 아연, 인 등의 영양소 섭취는 식생활 평가 점수가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 높게 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 혈중 적혈구수의 경우 4.49~4.55(${\times}10^6/{\mu}L$)로 군 간에 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았으며, 전체 조사 대상자의 혈중 백혈구 수치는 $6.40{\pm}1.52({\times}10^3/{\mu}L$)이었다. 헤모글로빈 수치도 $13.77{\pm}1.00\;g/dL$로 정상 범위에 속하였으나 헤모글로빈 농도가 12 g/dL 이하인 여대생은 6.4%였으며, 기준치 11.1 g/dL로 제한하면 약 2.7%의 여대생만이 빈혈이었다. 그러나 hematocrit 함량이 33%를 cut-off point로 했을 때는 빈혈로 판정되는 여대생이 없었다. 총콜레스테롤 수치가 200 mg/dL 이상인 여대생은 23.9%로 조사되었으며, 중성지방, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol는 군 간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 건강에 대한 관심도는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 24.5%로 높았으며, 오히려 식생활 평가가 높은 그룹에서는 49.6%의 여대생이 건강에 대한 관심이 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 건강을 유지하기 가장 중요한 부분으로는 규칙적인 식사와 영양 섭취, 충분한 휴식과 수면이 중요하다고 답하였다. 여대생의 경우 평균 수면 시간은 6~8시간이 가장 많았으며, 운동의 여부를 묻는 질문에는 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서 운동을 한다고 답한 여대생이 36.2%로 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들(18.5%)에 비해 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 따라서 본 연구에서 전체적인 여대생의 식생활의 문제점으로는 아침식사의 결식, 과식과 편식하는 습관, 영양소의 불균형적인 섭취 및 운동의 부족 등이 문제시 되었으며, 식생활 평가가 평균 이하로 낮은 그룹에서는 간식으로 지방을 많이 함유한 패스트푸드나 튀김식품 등의 섭취 및 열량위주의 식사가 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 식생활 평가가 평균 이상으로 좋은 그룹의 여대생들의 가장 큰 문제점은 간식으로 탄산음료 및 빙과류의 섭취가 높으며, 과일 섭취의 부족 및 운동 부족으로 자신의 건강을 소홀히 생각하고 있다는 점이었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 자신의 건강상태를 바르게 판단하여 자신에게 맞는 현실적으로 실천 가능한 식생활 계획을 세우는 것이 필요하며, 대학에서 영양과 건강에 관한 수업의 실시 및 대중화함으로써 영양교육의 강화가 필요한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 지역사회 구성원 및 가족과 함께 실천할 수 있는 식사 관리 프로그램을 마련하는 것도 좋은 방법 중의 하나라고 사료된다.

갈색 침전물의 생성은 우리나라 지하수의 개발 및 공급에 있어 흔히 발생하는 문제 중의 하나인데, 이에 따라 색도, 맛, 탁도 및 용존 철 함량 등의 항목에 있어 먹는 물 수질 기준을 초과하게 되고, 물 공급 시스템에 스케일링의 문제를 야기하게 된다. 경기도 파주 지역 지하수의 경우에도 양수 후 몇 시간 내에 갈색 침전물이 형성되어 수질을 악화시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수의 탁도를 유발하는 원인과 지화학적 반응 경로를 이해하고자, 평형열역학 및 반응속도론적 접근을 통하여 갈색 침전물의 형성과정을 파악하였다. 본 연구결과는 침전물의 형성을 최소화하기 위한 적정 양수 기법은 물론 수질 향상을 위한 최적 수처리 기법을 설계하는데 있어 중요한 자료로 활용될 것이다. 파주 지역의 암반 지하수는 물/암석(편마암)반응에 의해 Ca-$HCO_3$형의 수질 특성을 보인다. SEM-EDS 및 XRD 분석 결과, 갈색 침전물은 비정질의 함철 산화물 또는 수산화물로 해석된다. 다양한 공극 크기(6, 4, 1, 0.45, 0.2 $\mu\textrm{m}$)를 갖는 여과지를 이용한 다단계 여과 결과, 이들 침전물은 크기에 있어 대부분 1 내지 0.45$\mu\textrm{m}$의 입도를 갖는 콜로이드 형태이지만, 질량 분포로 볼 때는 1 내지 6$\mu\textrm{m}$범위가 우세함(총 질량의 약 81%)을 알 수 있다. 다량의 용존 철(II)은 지하수 유동 중에 철 함량이 높은(최대 3wt.%) 단층 파쇄암 내의 녹니석(clinochore)의 용해로부터 기원하는 것으로 판단된다. PHREEQC 프로그램을 이용한 포화지수 계산 및 pH-Eh 관계도에 대한 검토 결과, 침전물은 함철 수산화물임이 확인되며, 환원 조건에 있던 심부 지하수가 양수에 의해 산소에 노출되면서 화학성 변화(특히, 산화)에 의하여 침전함을 알 수 있다. 양수 이후의 시간 경과와 더불어 양수된 지하수의 pH, DO, 알칼리도는 점차 감소하며. 탁도는 증가하다가 일정 시간 경과 후 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 양수 이후의 경과 시간에 따른 용존 철(II)의 농도 감소율(즉, 반응 속도)은 Fe(II)=10.l exp(-0.0009t)로 표현된다. 따라서 갈색 침전물의 생성 반응은 양수 및 양수 후 저장 과정 중에 산소의 유입에 따른 산화 반응에 기인하며, 그 반응은 시간, 산소분압 및 pH에 의존함을 알 수 있다. 탁도를 제거하여 음용 가능한 수질을 확보하기 위해서는, 충분한 시간 동안 충분한 크기를 갖는 탱크 내에서의 다단계 저장 및 폭기를 거친 이후에 응집된 침전물에 대한 여과가 제안된다. 이때, 비용 절감 차원에서 상이한 입도 조건에서의 다단계 여과가 효과적일 것으로 생각된다. 한편, 개발 관정 내에서의 스케일링을 최소화하기 위해서는 심부 지하수로 산소가 풍부한 천층 지하수가 유입되는 과정을 최소화할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 적정 채수량 범위 내에서의 지속적인 양수가 효과적일 것이다. 아울러, 산소가 풍부한 천층 지하수의 채수를 위한 별도의 관정 설치도 고려할 수 있을 것이다.

톱밥을 보드에 활용(活用)하기 위한 방안(方案)으로서, 톱밥자체의 약(弱)한 결집력(結集力)과 치수불량성(不良性)을 개선(改善)하기 위하여 비(非) 목질계(木質系) 재료(材料)인 폴리프로필렌 사(絲)칩과 배향사(配向絲)를 혼합(混合) 결체(結締)함에 다른 보드의 기초성질(基礎性質)로서 물리적(物理的) 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 고찰(考察)하였는 바, 현재(現在) 제재용(製材用)으로 많이 이용(利用)되고 있는 나왕재(羅王材)(white meranti)의 톱밥에 개질재료(改質材料)로서 비(非) 목질(木質) 계(系) 플라스틱 물질(物質)인 폴리프로필렌 사(絲)를 칩상(狀) 또는 배향사(配向絲)의 형태(形態)로 조제(調製)하여 일반(一般) 성형법(成型法)을 적용(適用)함으로써 톱밥과 결체(結締) 구성(構成)한 톱밥보드를 제조(製造)하였다. 12 및 15%로 하여 구성(構成)하였다. 배향사(配向絲)는 보드폭방향(幅方向)으로 0.5, 1.0 및 1.5cm의 일정(一定)한 간격(間隔)으로 배열(配列)하였다. 위의 조건(條件)에 의(依)해 단(單) 2 3층(層)으로 각기(各己) 구분(區分)제조된 사(絲)칩 또는 배향사(配向絲) 구성(構成) 톱밥보드의 물리적(物理的) 및 기계적(機械的) 성질(性質)을 구명(究明)하였는 바, 그 주요(主要)한 결론(結論)을 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. 사(絲)칩 혼합(混合) 단층구성(單層構成)보드의 두께 팽창율(膨脹率)은 톱잡대조(對照)보드의 팽창율보다 모두 낮았다. 사(絲)칩 함량(含量)을 증가(增加) 시킴에 따라서 두께 팽창율은 점차(漸次) 감소(減少)하는 경향이 뚜렷하였다. 한편, 2층구성(層構成)보드는 단층(單層) 구성(構成)보드보다 높은 팽창율을 나타냈으나 대부분이 톱밥대조(對照)보드 보다 팽창율이 낮았다. 3층(層)으로 사(絲)칩구성(構成)한 보드는 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다도 모두 낮은 두께 팽창율을 나타냈다. 2. 사(絲)칩 배향사(配向絲) 구성(構成)보드의 두께 팽창율은 0.5cm 배향간격에서 사(絲)칩함량(含量) 12%와 15%의 길이 1.0cm와 1.5cm로 구성함으로써 단층(單層) 및 3층구성(層構成)보드의 최저치(最低値)보다 더 낮았다. 3. 단층구성(單層構成)보드의 휨강도는 비중(比重) 0.51 구성(構成)보드의 경우 사(絲)칩함량(含量) 3%에서 톱밥대조)對照)보드보다 높은 강도를 나타냈으나, KS F 3104 의 파티클보드 100타입 기준(基準) 값인 80 kgf/$cm^2$에 훨씬 못 미쳤다. 그러나 비중(比重) 0.63 구성(構成)보드에서 함량(含量) 6%의 길이 1.5cm 사(絲)칩 구성과 함량(含量)3% 의 모든 사(絲)칩 길이로 구성한 보드, 그리고 비중(比重) 0.72의 모든 사(絲)칩 구성보드는 KS F 기준값을 훨씬 상회(上廻) 하였다. 2층구성(層構成)보드의 휨강도는 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다도 사(絲)칩구성의 경우 모두 낮았으며 단층구성(單層構成)보드의 휨강도보다도 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 3층구성(層構成)보드의 휨강도는 사(絲)칩 함량(含量) 9% 이하(以下)의 길이 1.5cm 구성보드는 모두 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다 높은 값을 나타냈으며 KSF 기준값을 훨씬 상회(上廻) 하였다. 4. 배향사구성(配向絲構成) 톱밥보드의 경우(境遇), 배향간격(配向間隔)이 좁은 0.5cm에서 가장 높은 휨강도를 나타냈으며, 배향간격이 보다 넓은 1.0cm 와 1.5cm 구성(構成)에서는 휨 강도가 0.5cm 간격 보다 낮았다. 그러나 배향사구성(配向絲構成) 톱밥보드는 모두 톱밥대조(對照)보드 보다 높은 휨강도를 나타냈다. 5. 사(絲칩) 배향사(配向絲) 구성 보드의 휨강도는 거의 대부분(大部分)의 구성보드에서 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다 높은 값을 나타냈으며 KSF 기준값을 훨씬 상회(上廻) 하였다. 특(特)히 배향간격이 좁고, 길이가 긴 사(絲)칩으로 구성한 보드의 휨강도가 높은 값을 나타냈다. 그리고 사(絲)칩을 배향사(配向絲)와 혼합(混合) 구성(構成)할 때 배향사의 간격이 넓어짐에 따라 톱밥과 배향사(配向絲)만으로 구성한 보드보다도 휨 강도가 높아지는 현상(現象)이 나타났다. 6. 단층(單層), 2층(層) 및 3층(層) 구성(構成) 보드의 탄성계수는 대부분(大部分) 톱밥대조(對照)보드 보다 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 그러나 배향사(配向絲) 구성(構成) 톱밥보드에 있어서는, 배향 간격이 0.5, 1.0, 1.5crn로 됨에 따라서 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다도 각각(各各) 20%, 18%, 10% 탄성계수가 증가(增加)되었다. 7. 사(絲)칩 배향사(配向絲) 구성(構成) 보드의 탄성계수(彈性係數)는 배향간격 0.5crn, 1.0cm 및 1.5crn에서 거의 모두 톱밥대조(對照)보드보드보다도 훨씬 높은 값을 나타냈다. 그리고 함량(含量)9% 이하(以下)에서 사(絲)칩길이를 0.5cm이상(以上)으로 구성하였을 때 배향사(配向絲)만을 구성한 톱밥보드보다도 탄성계수가 높아지는 현상(現象)이 나타났는데, 배향(配向)간격이 좁은 경우 사(絲)칩결체(結締)에 의(依)한 탄성계수(彈性係數) 증가효과(增加效果)가 컸다. 8. 사(絲)칩 혼합(混合) 단층구성(單層構成) 보드의 박리저항(剝離抵抗)은 톱밥대조(對照)보드 보다 모두 낮았다. 그러나 비중(比重) 0.63의 사(絲)칩 구성보드는 KS F 3104의 100타입 기준 값인 1.5kgf/$cm^2$를 모두 상회(上廻) 하였고, 비중(比重) 0.72의 사(絲)칩 구성보드는 200타입의 기준값 3kgf/$cm^2$를 상회(上廻)하는 박리저항(剝離抵抗)을 나타냈다. 2층(層), 3층(層) 및 배향구성(配向構成)도 거의 모두 200타입의 기준값 3kgf/$cm^2$를 상회(上廻) 하였다. 9. 단층구성(單層構成)보드의 나사못유지력(維持力)은 사(絲)칩을 혼합 구성한 경우, 대체(大體)로 톱밥대조(對照)보드보다도 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 그러나, 2층(層) 및 3층구성(層構成)보드에서는 사(絲)칩 구성(構成)에 따른 감소경향(減少傾向)이 나타나지 않고 대체로 고른 나사못 유지력을 나타냈다. 또한, 사(絲)칩 배향사(配向絲) 구성(構成)보드에서는 사(絲)칩함량(含量) 9% 이하(以下)에서 거의 모두 톱밥대조(對照)보드 보다도 높은 나사못 유지력을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 서울시에 거주하는 남자 중 고생을 대상으로 흡연과 음주 현황을 조사하여 흡연 유무에 따라 비흡연군 (199명), 흡연군(11명), 흡연 음주군(52명)으로 분류하였으며, 설문을 통해 흡연과 음주습관, 식생활 관련사항 및 영양섭취상태 등을 조사하여 흡연과 음주습관이 식생활 습관, 영양소 섭취상태 및 건강상태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 조사하였다. 전체 조사대상자의 신장 및 체중은 각각 $173.5{\pm}6.8\;kg$, $64.83{\pm}11.8\;cm$로 신장은 한국인 체위 기준치에 비해 1.5 cm 이상 더 컸으며, 체중은 1.0 kg 정도 높게 조사되었고, 전체 조사대상자의 체질량지수의 평균값은 $21.4{\pm}3.7\;kg/m^2$정도로 나타났다. 전체 조사대상자의 89% 이상이 건강에 대해 관심이 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 43.5%의 청소년이 자신만의 건강유지 비결로 규칙적인 운동을 가장 많이 손꼽았다. 또한 66.0%의 청소년이 실제로 운동을 하고 있었으며, 일주일에 평균 3번 정도한다고 답한 전체 응답자는 37.3%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 1회 운동 시 평균 운동시간은 30분${\sim}$1시간 정도가 가장 많은 비율(46.3%)을 차지하였다. 흡연자 63명 중 음주를 하는 학생이 52명 82.5%이었으며, 11명 17.5%만은 흡연만 하여 본 연구결과에서 보면, 흡연을 하는 경우 음주를 동시에 하는 것으로 조사되었다. 55.6%의 남자 중 고생은 중학교 때 흡연을 시작하였으며, 흡연 동기는 38.1%가 호기심으로 시작했다고 답하였다. 특히 배고플 때 흡연욕구를 강하게 느꼈으며, 흡연 장소로는 화장실이라고 답하였다. 흡연기간은 6개월에서 1년 사이가 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였고, 하루 흡연량은 하루에 $5{\sim}10$개피를 핀다고 답한 비율이 가장 많이 차지하였다. 금연을 하기 위해 시도했던 방법으로는 그냥 참은 경우가 69.0%였으며, 금연에 실패한 이유로는 의지부족이 44.4%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 금연의 의향을 묻는 질문에는 전체 조사대상자의 87.1%가 금연을 하고 싶다고 답하였으나, 금연 프로그램을 실시하면 참여하겠느냐는 질문에는 단지 56.7%만이 참여하길 원하였다. 흡연 음주군에서 음주 시작 시기는 50.0%가 고등학교 때 시작하였으며, 사교적 필요성에 의해서 음주를 시작하였다고 답하였다. 음주는 주로 지정된 장소에서 하였으며, 조사대상자의 반 이상의 남자 중 고생이 한 번에 마시는 술의 양은 소주 한 병이하라고 답하였다. 음주의 욕구를 강하게 느낄 때는 친구가 술을 먹을 때라고 답하였으며, 금주 의향을 묻는 질문에는 단지 40.4%만이 금주를 하겠다고 답하였다. 34.4%의 아동이 매일 아침식사를 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 아침식사를 전혀 하지 않는 결식률도 16.4%나 되었다. 아침식사를 거르는 이유로는 47.0%가 '아침시간이 바빠 시간이 없어서'라고 답하였으며, 건강상의 문제를 고려해 볼 때 결식의 방안을 마련하는 것이 시급한 과제라고 사료된다. 과식을 하는 이유로는 전체 조사대상자의 52.5%가 좋아하는 음식이 많아서 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었으며, 흡연 음주군에서 과식을 자주하는 것으로 나타났다(p<0.05). 간식의 경우 하루에 $1{\sim}2$회 한다는 전체 청소년의 비율이 72.6%를 차지하였으며, 간식으로 섭취하는 식품으로는 비흡연군에서는 빵류 및 감자 40.2%, 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품을 30.7%로 많이 섭취하고 있었으며(p<0.05), 흡연군에서는 탄산음료 및 빙과류를 간식으로 섭취하는 비율이 36.4%나 되었고, 흡연 음주군에서는 과일류(38.5%)와 패스트푸드 및 튀김식품(26.9%)을 간식으로 가장 많이 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 남자 중 고생이 주식으로 섭취하는 탄수화물 식품의 섭취비율 중 비흡연군에서는 다른 군에 비해 잡곡과 현미를 각각 45.7%와 36.2%로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 흡연 음주군에서는 과일을 자주 섭취하는 비율이 9.6%로 매우 낮았으며(p<0.05), 50.0%가 패스트푸드를 섭취하는 것으로 조사되었다. 식생활 평가에서는 흡연군에서 삼겹살, 갈비 등 지방이 많은 육류를 주 2회 이상 먹는 비율이 높았으며, 아이스크림이나 과자, 탄산음료를 주 2회 이상 간식으로 자주 먹는 비율도 54.3%로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 전체적인 영양소 섭취상태는 $15{\sim}19$세 청소년의 영양섭취기준에 제시한 기준치에 비해 현저히 높았으며, 열량 섭취의 경우 비흡연군에 비해 흡연군과 음주 흡연군에서 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 특히 흡연 음주군에서는 다른 군에 비해 인이 유의하게 높은 것으로 조사되었으며(p<0.05), 콜레스테롤(p<0.05)과 소디움(p<0.05) 섭취량은 흡연군에서 가장 높았다. 본 연구결과 청소년들이 흡연과 음주를 하게 되는 가장 큰 이유가 친구나 학교 선 후배 등 또래 집단의 영향을 받는 것으로 조사되었으며, 충동적인 호기심에 의해 시작하는 경우가 많아 흡연과 음주가 건강에 미치는 유해성에 대한 인식이 부족하였다. 또한 흡연을 하는 경우 음주를 동시에 하는 남자 중 고생이 82%가 넘는 것으로 나타나 청소년들의 흡연과 음주 실태는 심각한 사회 문제라 할 수 있으며, 식생활 습관도 음주 흡연군에서는 과일 섭취가 낮은 반면 고열량 식품 선호 및 과식을 하는 것으로 조사되었고, 흡연군에서는 육류 및 가공식품등의 섭취가 높았다. 따라서 선행연구(6)에서도 지적했듯이 친구들의 흡연과 음주의 권유를 단호하게 거절할 수 있는 대처방법을 습득시키거나 흡연과 음주의 욕구를 느낄 때의 실질적인 대처 수단 및 금연을 하는 구체적인 방법 등의 현실적인 교육이 필요하다고 사료된다. 흡연과 음주로 인해 발생되는 편식이나 과식 등의 잘못된 식습관을 바로 잡아 청소년의 성장 발달에 도움을 줄 수 있는 균형적인 영양섭취가 중요하며, 영양적인 중요성을 인식할 수 있는 교육도 뒷받침되어야 할 것이다. 또한 청소년 시기에 먹거리의 중요성을 인식시켜 건강에 유익하고, 안전한 식품을 선택할 수 있는 감각을 습득시키는 것도 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of this research is to test the feasibility of developing a statewide truck traffic forecasting methodology for Wisconsin by using Origin-Destination surveys, traffic counts, classification counts, and other data that are routinely collected by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT). Development of a feasible model will permit estimation of future truck traffic for every major link in the network. This will provide the basis for improved estimation of future pavement deterioration. Pavement damage rises exponentially as axle weight increases, and trucks are responsible for most of the traffic-induced damage to pavement. Consequently, forecasts of truck traffic are critical to pavement management systems. The pavement Management Decision Supporting System (PMDSS) prepared by WisDOT in May 1990 combines pavement inventory and performance data with a knowledge base consisting of rules for evaluation, problem identification and rehabilitation recommendation. Without a r.easonable truck traffic forecasting methodology, PMDSS is not able to project pavement performance trends in order to make assessment and recommendations in the future years. However, none of WisDOT's existing forecasting methodologies has been designed specifically for predicting truck movements on a statewide highway network. For this research, the Origin-Destination survey data avaiiable from WisDOT, including two stateline areas, one county, and five cities, are analyzed and the zone-to'||'&'||'not;zone truck trip tables are developed. The resulting Origin-Destination Trip Length Frequency (00 TLF) distributions by trip type are applied to the Gravity Model (GM) for comparison with comparable TLFs from the GM. The gravity model is calibrated to obtain friction factor curves for the three trip types, Internal-Internal (I-I), Internal-External (I-E), and External-External (E-E). ~oth "macro-scale" calibration and "micro-scale" calibration are performed. The comparison of the statewide GM TLF with the 00 TLF for the macro-scale calibration does not provide suitable results because the available 00 survey data do not represent an unbiased sample of statewide truck trips. For the "micro-scale" calibration, "partial" GM trip tables that correspond to the 00 survey trip tables are extracted from the full statewide GM trip table. These "partial" GM trip tables are then merged and a partial GM TLF is created. The GM friction factor curves are adjusted until the partial GM TLF matches the 00 TLF. Three friction factor curves, one for each trip type, resulting from the micro-scale calibration produce a reasonable GM truck trip model. A key methodological issue for GM. calibration involves the use of multiple friction factor curves versus a single friction factor curve for each trip type in order to estimate truck trips with reasonable accuracy. A single friction factor curve for each of the three trip types was found to reproduce the 00 TLFs from the calibration data base. Given the very limited trip generation data available for this research, additional refinement of the gravity model using multiple mction factor curves for each trip type was not warranted. In the traditional urban transportation planning studies, the zonal trip productions and attractions and region-wide OD TLFs are available. However, for this research, the information available for the development .of the GM model is limited to Ground Counts (GC) and a limited set ofOD TLFs. The GM is calibrated using the limited OD data, but the OD data are not adequate to obtain good estimates of truck trip productions and attractions .. Consequently, zonal productions and attractions are estimated using zonal population as a first approximation. Then, Selected Link based (SELINK) analyses are used to adjust the productions and attractions and possibly recalibrate the GM. The SELINK adjustment process involves identifying the origins and destinations of all truck trips that are assigned to a specified "selected link" as the result of a standard traffic assignment. A link adjustment factor is computed as the ratio of the actual volume for the link (ground count) to the total assigned volume. This link adjustment factor is then applied to all of the origin and destination zones of the trips using that "selected link". Selected link based analyses are conducted by using both 16 selected links and 32 selected links. The result of SELINK analysis by u~ing 32 selected links provides the least %RMSE in the screenline volume analysis. In addition, the stability of the GM truck estimating model is preserved by using 32 selected links with three SELINK adjustments, that is, the GM remains calibrated despite substantial changes in the input productions and attractions. The coverage of zones provided by 32 selected links is satisfactory. Increasing the number of repetitions beyond four is not reasonable because the stability of GM model in reproducing the OD TLF reaches its limits. The total volume of truck traffic captured by 32 selected links is 107% of total trip productions. But more importantly, ~ELINK adjustment factors for all of the zones can be computed. Evaluation of the travel demand model resulting from the SELINK adjustments is conducted by using screenline volume analysis, functional class and route specific volume analysis, area specific volume analysis, production and attraction analysis, and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) analysis. Screenline volume analysis by using four screenlines with 28 check points are used for evaluation of the adequacy of the overall model. The total trucks crossing the screenlines are compared to the ground count totals. L V/GC ratios of 0.958 by using 32 selected links and 1.001 by using 16 selected links are obtained. The %RM:SE for the four screenlines is inversely proportional to the average ground count totals by screenline .. The magnitude of %RM:SE for the four screenlines resulting from the fourth and last GM run by using 32 and 16 selected links is 22% and 31 % respectively. These results are similar to the overall %RMSE achieved for the 32 and 16 selected links themselves of 19% and 33% respectively. This implies that the SELINICanalysis results are reasonable for all sections of the state.Functional class and route specific volume analysis is possible by using the available 154 classification count check points. The truck traffic crossing the Interstate highways (ISH) with 37 check points, the US highways (USH) with 50 check points, and the State highways (STH) with 67 check points is compared to the actual ground count totals. The magnitude of the overall link volume to ground count ratio by route does not provide any specific pattern of over or underestimate. However, the %R11SE for the ISH shows the least value while that for the STH shows the largest value. This pattern is consistent with the screenline analysis and the overall relationship between %RMSE and ground count volume groups. Area specific volume analysis provides another broad statewide measure of the performance of the overall model. The truck traffic in the North area with 26 check points, the West area with 36 check points, the East area with 29 check points, and the South area with 64 check points are compared to the actual ground count totals. The four areas show similar results. No specific patterns in the L V/GC ratio by area are found. In addition, the %RMSE is computed for each of the four areas. The %RMSEs for the North, West, East, and South areas are 92%, 49%, 27%, and 35% respectively, whereas, the average ground counts are 481, 1383, 1532, and 3154 respectively. As for the screenline and volume range analyses, the %RMSE is inversely related to average link volume. 'The SELINK adjustments of productions and attractions resulted in a very substantial reduction in the total in-state zonal productions and attractions. The initial in-state zonal trip generation model can now be revised with a new trip production's trip rate (total adjusted productions/total population) and a new trip attraction's trip rate. Revised zonal production and attraction adjustment factors can then be developed that only reflect the impact of the SELINK adjustments that cause mcreases or , decreases from the revised zonal estimate of productions and attractions. Analysis of the revised production adjustment factors is conducted by plotting the factors on the state map. The east area of the state including the counties of Brown, Outagamie, Shawano, Wmnebago, Fond du Lac, Marathon shows comparatively large values of the revised adjustment factors. Overall, both small and large values of the revised adjustment factors are scattered around Wisconsin. This suggests that more independent variables beyond just 226; population are needed for the development of the heavy truck trip generation model. More independent variables including zonal employment data (office employees and manufacturing employees) by industry type, zonal private trucks 226; owned and zonal income data which are not available currently should be considered. A plot of frequency distribution of the in-state zones as a function of the revised production and attraction adjustment factors shows the overall " adjustment resulting from the SELINK analysis process. Overall, the revised SELINK adjustments show that the productions for many zones are reduced by, a factor of 0.5 to 0.8 while the productions for ~ relatively few zones are increased by factors from 1.1 to 4 with most of the factors in the 3.0 range. No obvious explanation for the frequency distribution could be found. The revised SELINK adjustments overall appear to be reasonable. The heavy truck VMT analysis is conducted by comparing the 1990 heavy truck VMT that is forecasted by the GM truck forecasting model, 2.975 billions, with the WisDOT computed data. This gives an estimate that is 18.3% less than the WisDOT computation of 3.642 billions of VMT. The WisDOT estimates are based on the sampling the link volumes for USH, 8TH, and CTH. This implies potential error in sampling the average link volume. The WisDOT estimate of heavy truck VMT cannot be tabulated by the three trip types, I-I, I-E ('||'&'||'pound;-I), and E-E. In contrast, the GM forecasting model shows that the proportion ofE-E VMT out of total VMT is 21.24%. In addition, tabulation of heavy truck VMT by route functional class shows that the proportion of truck traffic traversing the freeways and expressways is 76.5%. Only 14.1% of total freeway truck traffic is I-I trips, while 80% of total collector truck traffic is I-I trips. This implies that freeways are traversed mainly by I-E and E-E truck traffic while collectors are used mainly by I-I truck traffic. Other tabulations such as average heavy truck speed by trip type, average travel distance by trip type and the VMT distribution by trip type, route functional class and travel speed are useful information for highway planners to understand the characteristics of statewide heavy truck trip patternS. Heavy truck volumes for the target year 2010 are forecasted by using the GM truck forecasting model. Four scenarios are used. Fo~ better forecasting, ground count- based segment adjustment factors are developed and applied. ISH 90 '||'&'||' 94 and USH 41 are used as example routes. The forecasting results by using the ground count-based segment adjustment factors are satisfactory for long range planning purposes, but additional ground counts would be useful for USH 41. Sensitivity analysis provides estimates of the impacts of the alternative growth rates including information about changes in the trip types using key routes. The network'||'&'||'not;based GMcan easily model scenarios with different rates of growth in rural versus . . urban areas, small versus large cities, and in-state zones versus external stations. cities, and in-state zones versus external stations.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N. Basic experimental system is constructed by using 3.0 MHz probing ultrasonic waves and the several experiments are carried out for some phantoms. Results show the superiority of the proposed method to the conventional method using power spectrum and also its usefulness for the tissue characterization. 30541 T00401030541 ^x This paper describes the implementation of a computerized radial pulse diagnosis by aids of a clinical expert. On this base, we composed of the radial pulse diagnosis system in korean traditional medicine. The system composed of a radial pulse wave detection system and a radial pulse diagnosis system. With a detection system, we detected Inyoung and Cheongu radial pulse wave and processed it. Then, we have got the characteristic parameters of radial pulse wave and also quantified that according to the method of Inyoung-Cheongu Comparison Radial Pulse Diagnosis. We defined the jugement standard of radial pulse diagnosis system and then we confirmed the possibility for realization of automatic radial pulse diagnosis in korean traditional medicine. 30545 T00401030545 ^x Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize microspheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio of synthesized microspheres was always smaller than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network). 30592 T00401030592 ^x In the conventional infrared imaging system, complex infrared lens systems are usually used for directing collimated narrow infrared beams into the high speed 2-dimensional optic scanner. In this paper, a simple reflective infrared optic system with a 2-dimensional optic scanner is proposed for the realization of medical infrared thermography system. It has been experimentally proven that the intfrared thermography system composed of the proposed optic system has the temperature resolution of 0.1˚c under the spatial resolution of lmrad, the image matrix size of 256 X 240, and tile imaging time of 4 seconds. 30593 T00401030593 ^x In this paper, MIIS (Medical Image Information System) has been designed and implemented using INGRES RDBMS, which is based on a client/server architecture. The implemented system allows users to register and retrieve patient information, medical images and diagnostic reports. It also provides the function to display these information on workstation windows simultaneously by using the designed menu-driven graphic user interface. The medical image compression/decompression techniques are implemented and integrated into the medical image database system for the efficient data storage and the fast access through the network. 30594 T00401030594 ^x In this paper, computerized BEAM was implemented for the space domain analysis of EEG. Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology. Our department has developed an information system for routine hematology using down-sized computer system. We have used an IBM 486 compatible PC with 16MB main memory, 210 MB hard disk drive, 9 RS-232C port and 24 pin dot printer. The operating system and database management system were SCO UNIX and SCO foxbase, respectively. For program development, we used Xbase language provided by SCO foxbase. The C language was used for interface purpose. To make the system use friendly, pull-down menu was used. The system connected to our hospital information system via application program interface (API), so the information related to patient and request details is automatically transmitted to our computer. Our system interfaced with fwd complete blood count analyzers(Sysmex NE-8000 and Coulter STKS) for unidirectional data tansmission from analyzer to computer. The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

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.

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.
