The h-index is a new tool for measuring research outputs based on citation and many variants of h-index have been proposed to improve the weaknesses of h-index. The h-index and its variants can be applied to institutional evaluation in three different ways. We worked out 447 practical cases of professors from 10 business schools and examined h-index and its variants. And then we compared three evaluation methods of research institution based on the h-index and its variants.

This study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical effect of inhibiting plaque formation of Lactococcus lactis 1370, a acid producing bacterium residing in the mouth. 30 children were asked to use 10ml of control mouth-wash and mouthwash containing Lactococcus lactis 1370. The plaque index and plaque area rate at 24h and 48h after the use of the mouthwashes were measured. And the number of Lactococcus lactis 1370 was counted at 1h, 3h, and 6h in the mouth. The results are as follow. 1. The mean plaque index at 24h after the use of the control mouthwash and the mouthwash containing Lactococcus lactis 1370 were 2.43 and 2.06, respectively. The inhibiting rate of plaque formation was 15% (P<0.05). 2. The mean plaque index at 48h after the use of the control mouthwash and the mouthwash containing Lactococcus lactis 1370 were 2.95 and 2.17, respectively. The inhibiting rate of plaque formation was 26%, showing more decrease than at 24h(P<0.05). 3. The mean plaque area rate at 24h after the use of the control mouthwash and the mouthwash containing Lactococcus lactis 1370 were 21.2% and 15.6%, respectively. The inhibiting rate of plaque formation was 26% (P<0.05). 4. The mean plaque area rate at 48h after the use of the control mouthwash and the mouthwash containing Lactococcus lactis 1370 were 33.0% and 17.8%, respectively. The inhibiting rate of plaque formation was 46% (P<0.05). 5. The number of Lactococcus lactis 1370 in the mouth decreased significantly from mouthwashing to 3h, but increased slightly between 3h and 6h. As seen with the above results, we think that using the mouth wash with Lactococcus lactis 1370 would prevent the formation of plaque in the mouth and can be an effective method to prevent dental caries and periodontal disease.

The Perfectionism Index (PI) is an indicator that is recently proposed to distinguish influential researchers from mass producers. In this study, Near Perfectionism Index (NPI), an improved indicator of Perfectionism Index, can be a solution to the problem of PI that indiscriminately gives a penalty to all low-cited papers regardless of publishing time or other issues. NPI improved the method to give a penalty to tail complement area considering the citation distribution curve. It prevents the improvement of the h-index from adversely affecting the researcher's influence indicator. This study uses NPI to evaluate information and library science journals in Web of Science database. It successfully distinguishes between influential journals and mass producers unlike journal h-index or average citation frequency which could not differentiate influentials from mass producers.

본 연구에서는 유역의 공간적 자기상사성 평가를 통하여 하천유역의 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 자기상사성 분석의 지표인 허스트지수 및 프랙탈차원을 산정하였다. 허스트지수(h)의 산정은 모형에 있어서 상당히 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 이 지수에 따라 지형의 모양은 서로 상이하게 다루어질 수 있기 때문이다. 허스트지수의 산정은 Hurst가 제시한 방법(허스트지수), Peters의 수정식, Mandebrot와 Wallis의 Pox 도표, 투영면적 및 표면적 비율 방법(면적지수)이 있으며, 본 연구에서는 유역의 공간 자기상성 분석을 위해 면적지수에 의한 방법과 허스트지수에 의한 방법을 적용하였다. 지형자료는 LiDAR 측량 및 하천 횡단측량에 의해 생성된 정밀 DEM을 활용하여 허스트지수 및 프랙탈차원을 산정하였다. 면적지수 및 허스트지수에 의한 프랙탈차원과 평균경사도와의 관계에서 아라천유역은 결정계수 R2값이 94.9 %, 99.5 %로 비교적 결정계수값이 크게 나타났으며, 경사도와 표면적과의 관계에서 결정계수 R2값은 81.8 %로 분석되었다. 이는 면적지수와 허스트지수에 의해 산정된 프랙탈 차원은 유역의 지형특성 인자로 타당성을 갖는 것으로 판단된다.

강수량의 대부분이 여름철에 집중적으로 내리는 우리나라의 경우 경제기반에 필요한 용수 확보를 위한 댐 수위 조절 등의 수자원 관리를 위해서는 강수량의 장기예측이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 장기예측에 앞서 강수량의 기후 특성 분석은 예측을 위한 기반 자료로서 필요하다. 따라서 한반도 기상 관측소 자료로부터 1954년부터 2002년 49년동안 한강과 낙동강 유역의 유역평균 월강수량의 기후특성을 분석하였다. 유역평균 월강수량은 Thiessen 가중법을 사용하여 산출되었으며, 4월 유역평균 강수량은 감소 경향이 뚜렷하고, 8월 유역평균 강수량은 증가 경향이 매우 뚜렷하였다. 또한 두 유역에 있어서 1970년 중반에 유역평균 월강수량의 변동에 변화가 나타났다. NINO3 지수와 한강과 낙동강 유역평균 월강수량 편차와의 동시상관관계에서 유역평균 9월 강수량은 NINO3 지수와 지속적인 음의 상관을 보였고, 11월 유역평균 강수량과는 양의 상관이 크게 나타났다. 우기 동안 한강 유역평균 월강수량의 극한 사상의 종관 특성 분석을 위한 합성도에서 다우해(above normal year)인 경우에는 주로 대륙에 1000 hPa 고도의 음의 편차, 해양에 양의 편차의 중심이 놓여 있어 다우 시기는 북태평양 고기압의 강화와 관련됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 8월 유역평균 강수량은 한반도 상공의 제트 강화와 관련되어 있었으며, 9월 유역평균 강수량의 경우에는 제트 출구의 북쪽에서의 양의 편차, 남쪽에서의 음의 편차 및 하층 바람장의 수렴과 관련되어 나타났다.

The journal impact factor(JIF) of the Thomson Reuters(ISI) has been widely used to assess the impact of journal as well as its quality. However, the JIF contains its critical limitation, in which it does not measure the impact of journal but the average impact of articles in journal. Besides significant number of problems of the JIF has been noticed. Furthermore, given the limited coverage of domestic citation index database in comparison to those of international citation index, it is necessary to apply a more appropriate index with a high level of discriminating power. This study, therefore, aims to introduce some practical methods to measure the impact of domestic journals by using the Hirsch-type indices. As the Hirsch-type indices has been often used for overcoming the limitations of the JIF in worldwide, we hope that our research outcome offers an effective alternative to gauge the impact of journals more accurately. Consequently, using the variations of the h-index($h_s$-index, $f_s$-index) or the sum of issue level(issue based h-index, issue based f-index), we argue that it would improve the discrimination capacity of the Hirsch-type indices significantly and that we can measure the impact of domestic journals more clearly.

In this paper time series wave data are simulated by the Monte Calo method using random numbers to generate random phases of the wave signal. The simulated wave signasl are used to study the characteristics of freak waves. Various sea states are represented by combinations of the significant wave height $H_s$ defined in the spectrum method and the significant wave steepness $S_s$. For a fixed value of $S_s$, the probability of the occurrence of the freak wave is decreased as $H_s$ increases. For a fixed value of $H_s$ the probability of the occurrence of the freak wave increases as $S_s$ increases. The average value of the maximum wave height increase as $S_s$ increases, but the average height of freak wave remains the same and the value approaches two times of $H_s$. For the fixed value of $S_s$, average kurtosis of wave elevation increases as $H_s$ increases, but for a fixed $H_s$, the average kurtosis decreases as $S_s$ increases. The average of abnormality index(AI) is around 2.11 irregardless of $H_s$ and $S_s$. The maximum value of AI lies between 2.5 - 3.0. Therefore it is conjectured that AI maximum due to linear focusing is 3.0.

This study explores the characteristics of centrality measures for analyzing researchers' impact and structural positions in research collaboration networks. We investigate four binary network centrality measures (degree centrality, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality, and PageRank), and seven existing weighted network centrality measures (triangle betweenness centrality, mean association, weighted PageRank, collaboration h-index, collaboration hs-index, complex degree centrality, and c-index) for research collaboration networks. And we propose SSR, which is a new weighted centrality measure for collaboration networks. Using research collaboration data from three different research domains including architecture, library and information science, and marketing, the above twelve centrality measures are calculated and compared each other. Results indicate that the weighted network centrality measures are needed to consider collaboration strength as well as collaboration range in research collaboration networks. We also recommend that when considering both collaboration strength and range, it is appropriate to apply triangle betweenness centrality and SSR to investigate global centrality and local centrality in collaboration networks.

This study aims to develop a regression model that estimates a low-flow index that can be applied to ungauged basins. A total of 30 midsized basins in South Korea use long-term runoff data provided by the National Integrated Water Management System (NIWMS) to calculate average low-flow, average minimum streamflow, and low-flow index duration and frequency. This information is used in the correlation analysis with 18 basin factors and 3 climate change factors to identify the basin area, average basin altitude, average basin slope, water system density, runoff curve number, annual evapotranspiration, and annual precipitation in the low-flow index regression model. This study evaluates the model's accuracy by using the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) for 10 ungauged, verified basins and compares them with the previous model's low-flow calculations to determine the effectiveness of the newly developed model. Comparative analysis indicates that the new regression model produces average low-flow, attributed to the consideration of varied basin and hydrologic factors during the new model's development.

Purposes: We studied whether forest bathing is effective in improving the stress of the human body. Therefore, we investigated changes in pulse rate, stress index, and autonomic nervous system after 2 hours of forest bathing on Jeju Samdasu Forest Methods : The study was conducted before and after forest bathing through heart rate variability and questionnaire. Results: After forest bathing, the average pulse rate of the experimental group was significantly increased. The stress index significantly decreased in the post-test in the experimental group. The cumulative stress, sympathetic activity (LF), parasympathetic activity (HF) change, and LF/HF ratio were slightly different from those of post-test in the experimental group, but were not statistically significant. In the survey of job stress average index and state characteristic anxiety index through questionnaire, it decreased significantly after forest bathing (p<.001). Conclusions: The Samdasu forest bathing has been proven effective in enhancing pulse and reducing stress, so it is evaluated that forest bathing is effective in promoting health.
