The paper tests the embodiment hypothesis by measuring the technological obsolescence of a specific year (1990)'s technology and investigating the relationship between labor productivity and technological obsolescence. This approach is based on Salter (1969) that emphasizes the economic aspect of technology. We use the rate of economic surplus as the proxy of technological obsolescence for 10 main industries, including food processing, textiles, chemicals, non-steel metals, steels, metal products, machinery, electronics, precision machinery, and transportation equipments. The result shows that the embodiment hypothesis is not accepted for the overall manufacturing sector. However, we found the vintage effect - a positive relationship between technological obsolescence and labor productivity over time - in textiles, chemicals, non-steel metals, metal products, electronics, and transportation equipments. Therefore, the government should support R&D investment as well as capital equipments investment for the industries with large vintage effect.

가공송전망 고전압화는 세계적으로는 1,000KV까지 검토되고 있으며 우리나라에서도 765KV를 시험 운전추진중에 있다. 송전선의 전류용량 증대방법으로서는 도체크기의 대형화, 다도체화 뿐만 아니라 경 알루미늄을 도체로 사용한 종래의 ACSR을 대체할 수 있는, 초내열 알루미늄선을 사용하여 허용전류를 증가시킨 STACIR의 채택이 확대되고 있다. 증용양화 송전선의 본격적 도입과 함께 송전선로 운영시에 발생하는 공해성, 환경저해성을 촤소화시키는 환경조화선로및 지역별 특성에 맞는 특수기능 전선에도 그 관심이 고조되고 있는바 도체재료와 구조에 대한 꾸준한 기술 개발로 송전선의 고신뢰화, 다기능화가 지속적으로 진행되고 있다. 우리나라의 경우도 1960년대에 ACRS이 가설된 이후 늘어나는 전력수요에 부응하기 위하여 1995년 STACIR의 154KV 의정부-동두천 송전선로 구간에 가설운전을 시작으로 신송전로의 시대에 진입했다고 볼 수 있다.

This study re-evaluated Malthusian regime which signifies a negative relationship between population and income by employing the trend for the population and the income of the world and panel analysis during 1820-2006 periods. Empirical evidence suggested that Malthusian regime was existed during 1900-1994 periods in the world economy. Even each country had experienced such regime in its own economic growth path. However, the population drastically decreased and output upsurged since 1995, Malthusian regime had not been revealed any more since then. Such phenomenon is mainly resulted from the output is rather increased geometrically when the population is decreased because of a social reason such as decreasing in fertility rate. In addition to this, the population contributes to the production not by a quantity but a quality which is embodied by capital. Particularly, when the population which is associated with demand side is counted, the population is said to be evolved continuously in economy.

This paper proposes a new composite deckplate system reinforced with inverted triangular truss girders(called 'D Deck'), which does not require the use of temporary supports at construction stage. The proposed system retains increased stiffness and strength while keeping the absolute floor height change to a minimum level and can be utilized as floor systems of various types beam members such as the conventional wide-flange and U-shaped composite beams. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, five specimens with a span of 5.5 m were fabricated and tested under field loading conditions consisting of several intermediate steps. The load-deflection curves of each specimen were plotted and compared with the nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis results. The comparison showed that the effective load sharing between the truss girders and floor deck occurs and the maximum deflection under construction stage loading is well below the limit estimated by the provisions in Korea Building Code.

Visualization techniques are transformed into reliable representations through socio-technological processes which include the agreement on the instrument and the embodiment of practices in relevant scientific communities. Visual representations thus produced are justified by realistic and epistemic virtues in science. This paper analyzes different visual images presented in the scientific papers of two research groups who argue different theories about the mechanism of face perception. These two scientific groups use the same fMRI technology; yet, different experimental paradigms and visual stimuli change their hypotheses into distinct testable theories, which in turn lead to different evidences to support their own theories. Visual evidences are intermediate representations which lie between fMRI brain images and scientific theories, and theoretical models obtain the scientific value based on the consistency in the chain of visual representations. This study shows that representations in science tend to be good representations within the context of scientific communities. It will provide a chance to think of the value and limit of the scientific knowledge

This study examined the relationship between entrepreneurship, learning competence and the export performance of international new ventures that enterprises entering foreign markets immediately after starting their business in Korea, and the mediating effect of learning competence. A research framework was developed with two entrepreneurship factors(risk taking and innovativeness), learning competence factors, and export performance. Six hypotheses were proposed and tested on 115 samples using LISREL. Research findings suggest that the two entrepreneurship factors positively influenced learning competence. However, export performance was affected by only innovativeness. Also, the learning competence positively affected export performance. Learning competence was found to mediate between entrepreneurship and export performance.
