We examine how combinations of key factors affecting healthcare user innovation vary by innovation stages from idea generation through R&D to commercialization and venturing using a fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) of thirty Korean cases in the healthcare field. Our empirical analysis shows that well-functioning innovation network and easy resource acquisition facilitate ideation of radical user innovation. However, technological capability and governmental support are crucial to make a shift to R&D as well as commercialization stages. Differently, incremental user innovation depends heavily on technological capability of users. Our analysis can provide policy makers as well as corporate innovation mangers with a strategic framework for boosting user innovation along three stages.

Generally, not only in order to design three dimensional hydraulic structures such a spillway and to investigate the hydraulic phenomena concerning hydraulic facilities, but also to grasp shape and stability, we simulate actuality phenomenon through hydraulic model experiments. However, it requires too much times, expense and space to perform hydraulic model experiments, as well as it is very difficult to measure reduced scale of actual hydraulic structures. Besides, surface tension can exert fair effect in experiment result, and occasionally an experiment of various case is impossible actually. Therefore, there is necessity to draw proper early result through numerical analysis, and if decide the case of a hydraulic model experiment through the numerical analysis and compare the result, finally economical and reasonable design hydraulic structures are available. This study performs numerical analysis of overflow spillway and an experimental study of hydraulic model tests to design the optimal spillway and suggest a better design to improve hydraulic conditions. From the measurements, revised designs for an hydraulic structure are suggested and consequent improvement effects by the new design are also investigated.

The main objective of this study is to develop an discrete optimization algorithm of plane steel frames with rigid using second-order-elastic-plastic hinge analysis which is considering panel zone. Conventional analyses of steel frame are usually tarried out without considering the effect of panel zone deformation on frame behavior The validity of this model is established by comparison without panel zone on joint models is analyzed numerically to demonstrate the importance of using realistic models in steel frame analysis. The objective function is taken as Weight of steel frames and the constraints we formulated based on AISC-LRFD(1994). The validity of the developed algorithm we demonstrate by comparing the result with those of SAP2000. The result of the study indicates that the optimal design algorithm considering of panel zone behavior more economic design than simple steel frame design methods.

A primary factor affecting on the design of soft ground is to determine the soil properties (Compression index, Coefficient of consolidation) and the depth of soft ground. It could be the basic sources to estimate settlement behavior of soft ground. Even though the reliable soil examination equipment was used to examine soil to determine the depth of soft ground, it's very hard to find out the accurate properties of soft ground, because the condition of indoor experiment cannot reproduce the circumstances of ground perfectly. Therefore, this study was re-estimated to find out the most reliable soil properties by using back-analysis with field monitoring data of "Site preparation for Airplane Mooring of Incheon International Airport Phase II Development" for 317days.

The US Pavement Design method (AASHTO) and HDM-4, a road pavement maintenance decision system, are not suitable for domestic pavement design, construction and maintenance. KPRP(Korea Pavement Research Program) has been developed to reflect Korea's environmental conditions and vehicle characteristics, thereby, extending pavement life. The main objective of this study is to select the best alternative through Life Cycle Cost $CO_2$ (LCCC) calculations among three representative maintenance strategies using KPRP design software since the environment cost resulting from the extended pavement life will also differ. The analysis of this study illustrates that cumulative carbon emissions for 40 years in alternative 2 (Cutting and Overlaying at Year 30) is the lowest option among them, and the basic cost of $CO_2$ emission by various road maintenance and repair work can be used for suggesting an optimal maintenance strategy for highway agency.

Due to stagnation of domestic market, increasing number of domestic construction companies started to make inroads into foreign market recently. Yet compared to domestic market, there are much more risks in the foreign market which companies may confront. So deliberate and rational decision making skills are required. Accordingly, there has been many researches which analyzed the risk of individual markets and also studies covering decision support models. In this study, we suggest a model concerning financial issues when branching out into a new market, specially in the construction companies' point of view. For this we used a real options game which shows real competition status of a new market and deduced a feature of that market, Upon these results, we also suggest a model which helps firms to decide whether investing in the expansion is smart action or not. The model developed in this study is made in specific circumstances of limited conditions. The future study makes more realistic models considering subjects like disproportion in information and generalization of competing companies.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing rebar with non-corrosive property is suggested as an alternative replacement to steel reinforcing rebar due to its enhanced durability and non-corrosive characteristics. Currently, a limited number of glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar (GFRP) are sold commercially due to their high cost, relatively low performances, and brittle failure characteristics. Therefore, the performance enhancements and cost reduction of GFRP rebar are needed to increase its applications in construction fields. The intent of this study is to develop high performance GFRP rebar by improving its tensile and shear properties. Also, in order to reduce manufacturing costs, factors such as material composition and manufacturing process were evaluated to improve manufacturing efficiency. Finally a GFRP rebar with enhanced material properties and less expensive than the GFRP rebar currently sold in the market was manufactured and evaluated for its application possibility in construction fields.

최근 사대강 사업 일환으로 4개강에 설치된 16개의 보들로 인하여 수심이 깊어지고 하폭이 넓어지는 등 많은 하천의 수리적 특성이 변화하였다. 최근 나타나고 있는 이상기후 등 자연현상의 변화는 수자원의 중요성을 다시 한번 잘 보여주고 있으며 특히 우리생활 속에 가장 가까이 있는 하천관리는 그 어느때보다 더 중요한 시점이라 하겠다. 과거는 물론 현재와 미래에 대한 체계적 하천관리를 위해서는 무었보다 하천의 각종 수리수문학적 특성을 대변하고 있는 자료의 축적과 관리와 분석이라 할 수 있다. 그러나 2012년 사대강 사업으로 인하여 사대강 본류 및 지류에 걸쳐 하도준설, 하도변화, 그리고 보 운영으로 인하여 기존의 각종 유량-수위, 유량-유사량관계식 등 하천계획에 필수적인 기초자료가 전무한 실정이라 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 2012년 사대강사업 준공이후 본류와 지류 등 많은 곳에서 각종 하천수리학적 기초자료 계측이 국가적으로 이루어지고 있으나 보 건설이후 하천의 설계홍수량에 해당하는 대유량의 유출이 발생한 적이 없고 그나마 측정된 자료수가 작아 분석된 각종 관계식은 통계학적으로 그 유의성을 담보하기 어려운 현실이다. 무엇보다 보 운영으로 인하여 유사이송의 연속성이 단절된 현 시점에서의 하도유사이송특성에 대한 이해는 하천운영 및 관리를 위해서는 절대적으로 필요한 기초자료이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 하천조건에 대하여 충분히 유의한 각종 수리수문학적 자료들이 누적되고 관계식들이 개발되기 전까지 적용할 수 있는 미계측 하천의 유사수리특성관계식을 개발하였다. 이를 위하여 현재의 본 운영룰에 따라 나타나는 수위-유량 관계로부터 소류력 등 하천수리학적 특성분석을 통해 하도의 유사이송특성을 지배하는 수리적 특성을 분석하였으며 보 운영이후 지금까지 계측된 각종 수리수문학적 자료와 함께 하천에서의 과거 수리수문학적 관계와 비교하여 유량-유사량 관계식을 개발하였다.

The main concern of classical Confucianism, which has Kongzi as its main thinker, is how one can attain moral perfection. In this respect, all of the Confucian teachings can be characterized as an attempt to expound the nature of sages or gentlemen who are believed to attain moral perfection. In Confucianism, de 德 (moral virtue) refers to moral principles or the attributes of things, and it also signifies moral qualities and abilities of humans which are believed to be bestowed by the moral source. Kongzi substantiated the details and practical methods of de, through his teachings of ren as its internal principle and li as its external form. in this way, he put a special emphasis on moral practicality of de. To study Kongzi's practical moral teachings focusing on de can be understood as a reflection on current educational issues.

With the emergence of increasingly complex networks and diverse user terminals, demand for the next generation IPTV service is rapidly growing. It enables any content to seamlessly be reused on the diverse terminals as well as be broadcasted in real-time through the complex networks. In this paper, a novel security framework is proposed for the real-time and reusable IPTV services. The proposed framework is advantageous over the conventional content protection techniques in easily producing the scalable content with lightweight, perceptual, transcodable, and adjustable security features. It does not only ensure end-to-end security over the entire service range based on a single security mechanism, but also can control a level of security while dynamically transcoding the original content. This approach basically performs selective encryption during and after the compression using scalable video coding. The suitability of the proposed approach is demonstrated through experiments with a practical service scenario. Therefore, it is expected that security technology alone could practically contribute to creating new business opportunities for IPTV services.
