Technology roadmaps (TRMs) are considered to be the essential tool for strategic technology planning and management. Recently, rapidly evolving technological trends and severe technological competition are making TRM more important than ever before. That is because TRM plays a role of "map" that align organizational objectives with their relevant technologies. However, constructing and managing TRMs are costly and time-consuming because they rely on the qualitative and intuitive knowledge of human experts. Therefore, enhancing the productivity of developing TRMs is one of the major concerns in technology planning. In this regard, this paper proposes a technology roadmapping approach based on function of which concept includes objectives, structures and effects of a technology and which are represented as Subject-Action-Object structures extractable by exploiting natural language processing of patent text. We expect that the proposed method will broaden experts' technological horizons in the technology planning process and will help to construct TRMs efficiently with the reduced time and costs.

This study examined the burnout intermediates between Fire officials' job stress and Ego-resilience. The objective of this study is to suggest a policy that improves Fire officials' Ego-resilience. This survey was given to 365 fire officials in northern Gyeonggi-do region and the data was analyzed by correlation analysis and regression analysis using SPPS 22.0. The hypothesis is the Fire officials' burnout would be related to Ego-resilience and the effect on Fire officials' job stress regarding Ego-resilience is associated with burnout. The results of the study are that unstable work and inadequate reward affect the measure of burnout, which manifests as sarcasm and job efficacy and reduces the Fire officials' Ego-resilience that results in a positive pointing of the future, emotion control and interest. The meaning of policy is as follows: First, Fire officials need to be given confidence in their work stability. Second, they have to receive social or financial rewards. Third, they require a continuous supporting policy that solves their tension, physical and mental fatigue. Finally, developing diverse educational programs will be needed to promote their Ego-resilience.

The nuclear fuel cycle (NFC) analysis is a study to set a NFC policy and to promote systematic researches by analyzing technologies and deriving requirements at each stage of a fuel cycle. System analysis techniques are utilized for comparative analysis and assessment of options on a considered system. In case that NFC is taken into consideration various methods of the system analysis techniques could be applied depending on the range of an interest. This study presented NFC analysis strategies for the development of a domestic advanced NFC and analysis techniques applicable to different phases of the analysis. Strategically, NFC analysis necessitates the linkage with technology analyses, domestic and international interests, and a national energy program. In this respect, a trade-off study is readily applicable since it includes various aspects on NFC as metrics and then analyzes the considered NFC options according to the derived metrics. In this study, the trade-off study was identified as a method for NFC analysis with the derived strategies and it was expected to be used for development of an advanced NFC. A technology readiness level (TRL) method and NFC simulation codes could be utilized to obtain the required metrics and data for assessment in the trade-off study. The methodologies would guide a direction of technology development by comparing and assessing technological, economical, environmental, and other aspects on the alternatives. Consequently, they would contribute for systematic development and deployment of an appropriate advanced NFC.

World-wide crop loss caused by insect pest and nematode reaches critical level. In Korea, similar crop loss has been gradually augmented in the field and greenhouse due to continuous crop rotation. The current methods on controlling herbivorous insects and plant parasitic nematodes are mostly depended on agro-chemicals that have resulted additional side-effect including occurrence of resistant insects and nematodes, environmental contamination, and accumulation in human body. To overcome the pitfalls, microbe-based control method have been introduced and applied for several decades. Here, we revised biological control using by the bacteria, fungi, and virus in order to kill insect and nematode and to attenuate its virulence mechanism. The introduced microbes mainly secreted out the hydrolysing enzymes and toxic compounds to target host membrane or cell wall directly. Indirectly, the microbe-triggered plant innate immunity against insects and nematodes was also reported. In conclusion, we provide a new frontier of microbe-based environmentally friendly procedure and effective methods to manage insects and nematodes.

In the era of fierce global competition and short product life cycle, firms have been interested in the technology valuation to improve their competitiveness. As the technology valuation may become a key issue for countries and industries, the development of technology valuation method has become increasingly important. Thus, this study aims to suggest a novel method to assess technology value by applying conjoint analysis to bibilographic information of patent. For this purpose, we firstly identified nine patent indexes categorized in three attributes - technological superiority, marketability and legal rights. Then, we collected actual data on patent transactions including their patent attributes and market prices. Based on the data, we could obtain the patent index values. Finally, we applied conjoint analysis to the prices and patent index values as a basis for technology valuation. The suggested method is expected to be an effective tool for technology valuation by using real transaction data rather than relying heavily on experts assessment.

철강재는 대량 생산이 가능하며 경제성이 뛰어나고 기계적 성질도 우수하므로 다양한 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 철강재는 부식 환경에 취약하기 때문에 그 용도에 따라 다양한 내식성을 부여하는 표면처리를 적용하고 있다. 일반적으로 이러한 철강 재료에 대한 내식성 표면처리로는 습식공정을 이용한 아연(Zn)도금 표면처리가 널리 적용되고 있다. 그러나 최근에는 이러한 습식공정으로 인해 발생하는 자원소모 및 환경적인 문제와 더불어 고내식성 표면처리 소재에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 이러한 단점을 극복할 수 있는 새로운 소재 및 기술 개발에 대한 관심이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서 기존의 습식표면처리 공정을 건식으로 대체 또는 병행하고, 현행 아연소재를 대체할 수 있는 코팅소재로써 알루미늄(Al) 이나 마그네슘(Mg)으로 대체하는 방법이 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 강판의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 기존의 습식 표면처리 공정에서 용이하지 않은 마그네슘을 이용하여 건식 PVD 프로세스에 의해 코팅막의 제작을 시도하였다. 그리고 코팅막 제작 조건 중에서 공정압력이 코팅막의 결정배향성에 미치는 영향과 내식성과의 상관관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 즉, 여기서는 강판 및 용융알루미늄 도금강판 상에 스퍼터링법에 의해 Ar 가스에 의한 공정압력을 2, 10 및 50 mTorr로 조절하면서 마그네슘 코팅막을 $2{\mu}m$ 두께로 각각 제작하였다. 이때 제작한 막의 표면 모폴로지 관찰(SEM) 및 결정구조 분석(XRD) 결과에 의하면, 강판 및 용융알루미늄도금강판 상에 제작한 코팅막들은 공통적으로 공정압력이 증가할수록 그모폴로지의 결정립의 크기가 작고 치밀한 구조로 변하였다. 또한 그때 형성된 코팅막의 결정구조는 표면에너지가 상대적으로 높은 Mg(002)면 피크의 점유율이 감소하고 표면에너지가 낮은 Mg(101)면 피크의 점유율이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 공정압력이 증가할수록 Mg 격자 간 면 간격(d-value)이 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이상에서 제작한 마그네슘 코팅막의 결정성장 과정은 본 진공 플라즈마 PVD 공정중 증착가 더불어 흡착역할을 하는 Ar의 움직임에 따라 설명 가능하였다[1,2]. 코팅막의 양극분극(Polarization)측정 결과에 의하면, 공정압력이 높은 조건에서 제작한 막일수록 부동태 특성이 우수하여 내식성이 향상되는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히, 공정압력이 상대적으로 높은 50 mTorr 조건에서 제작된 코팅막이 표면 마그네슘 결정의 크기가 조밀하고 결정구조는 Mg(002)면과 Mg(101)면의 상대강도 비가 유사하여 내식성 가장 우수하였다.

The traditional mass media function of conveying information and forming public opinion has rapidly changed into an environment in which information and opinions are shared through social media with the development of ICT technology, and such social media further strengthens its influence. In other words, it has been confirmed that the influence of the public opinion through the production and sharing of public opinion on political, social and economic changes is increasing, and this change is already in use on the political campaign. In addition, efforts to grasp and reflect the opinions of the public by utilizing social media are being actively carried out not only in the political area but also in the public area. The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of using social media based public opinion in educational policy. We collected media data, analyzed the main topic and probability of occurrence of each topic, and topic trends. As a result, we were able to catch the main interest of the public(the 'Domestic Computer Education Time' accounted for 43.99%, and 'Prime Project Selection' topics was 36.81% and 'Artificial Intelligence Program' topics was 7.94%). In addition, we could get a suggestion that flexible policies should be established according to the timing of the curriculum and the subject of the policy even if the category of the policy is same.

Increasing concern about biodiversity has lead to a rise in demand on the spatial assessment of biological resources such as biodiversity assessment, protected area selection, habitat management and restoration in Korea. The purpose of this study is to create species richness map through data collection and modeling techniques for wildlife habitat assessment. The GAM (Generalized Additive Model) is easy to interpret and shows better relationship between environmental variables and a response variable than an existing overlap analysis and GLM (Generalized Linear Model). The study area delineated by a large watershed contains Jirisan national park, Mt. Baekun and Sumjin river with three kinds of protected areas (a national park, a landscape ecology protected area and an otter protected area). We collected the presence-absence data for wildlife (mammals and birds) using a stratified random sampling based on a land cover in the study area and implemented natural and socio-environmental data affecting wildlife habitats. After doing a habitat use analysis and specifying significant factors for each species, we built habitat suitability models using a presence-absence model and created habitat suitability maps for each species. Biodiversity maps were generated by taxa and all species using habitat suitability maps. Significant factors affecting each species habitat were different according to their habitat selection. Although some species like a water deer or a great tit were distributed at the low elevation, most potential habitats for mammals and birds were found at the edge of a national park boundary or near a forest around the medium elevation of a mountain range. This study will be used for a basis on biodiversity assessment and proected area selection carried out by Ministry of Environment.
