Korea is characterized by a high R&D expenditure rate to the GDP. The performance of R&D in Korea, however, hardly seems to be satisfied. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of strategic resources and community engineering on R&D performance in bio-tech industry in Korea. The results of the study show strategic resources and community engineering are determinants of technological outcome. The strategic resources have a Significant positive effect on economic impact whereas community engineering has no Significant effect. In addition, the study results reveal that there is no moderating effect of strategic resources on the relation between community engineering and R&D performance. The major limitations of the study are on the measure of the variables.

Research and Development(R&D) investment is an issue of central importance in any economy. In this paper we analyze the relationship between R&D spillovers and trade-related variables, using a two-stage model where duopolists simultaneously decide on R&D in the first stage and engage in Cournot competition in the second stage. We characterized and compared the free-trade and trade-restriction R&D equilibrium in a two-stage game of R&D investment followed by Cournot market competition. We also assessed the impact of varying the R&D spillover on the equilibrium outcomes and tariff. We showed for both free trade and protection cases that there exists a unique symmetric solution(subgame perfect Nash equilibrium). As the solution, while analytical, cannot be stated in closed form, we resorted to numerical experiments to investigate the equilibrium results. Our estimates indicate for both free trade and protection cases that the level of R&D investment and the rate of R&D expenditure decrease as the degree of R&D spillovers increases, and that there is an inverse relation between the degree of R&D spillovers and level of protection. The latter implies that the larger the degree of R&D spillovers, the lesser the level of protection.

When any data-centric XML documents are stored and managed in RDBMS, schema extracting from XML Schema is an imminent problem. Furthermore, when they are stored in partitioned way on created table, lots of null values will be produced and/or be increased cost for join, so we need a solution to solve these problems. This paper proposes a Schema Hybrid Inlining technique to generate relational schema of XML documents. The suggested technique creates a relational schema based on the XML Schema graph. Also, the technique expands the legacy Inlining method by manual and heuristic processing table generation method of cardinality and in-degree. Then, an ancestor node, terminal node, and creating a new table on the derived relation in this technique. DTD-dependent storage method uses partitioned storing and relation path element information reformed structured-searching method to reduce joining operation cost that is a weak point of it.

This study seeks to analyze trends in Korean government support for marine biotechnology R&D investment. The quantitative analysis proposed in this paper provides useful data to inform government policy making decisions in relation to R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Data used in this study is from NTIS (National Science & Technology Information Service) DB. Empirical results indicate that national R&D investment in the area of marine biotechnology has recently been increased in terms of the number of R&D programs and the amount of R&D investment. The results also show that the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology involve various Ministries of the government of Korea, although the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) performed a key role in the R&D investment in the marine biotechnology. Finally, the results of social network analysis in this study reveals that most of the R&D programs in the area of marine biotechnology seeks the development of new materials using unique features of marine bioresources.

In this paper, an algorithm for recovering the 3-D shape from a single shaded image is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, by using the relation between the height and surface gradient (p, q), a set of linear equations is derived from the linearized reflectance function. Then the 3-D surface is recovered by employing the conjugate gradient technique. In order to improve the convergence speed of the solution, we also employ the hierarchical basis function and multiresolution images in the algorithm. A method for determining the regularization parameter, which is determined by trial and error in the conventional approach, is also introduced. In addition, the proposed algorithm attempts to recover the 3-D surface without requiring the boundary conditions, making it suitable for a real-time implementation. Simulation results for real image as well as synthetic image are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

To examine the effect of shape and crest width variation of a permeable submerged breakwater on the wave energy dissipation, Two-Dimensional numerical model with Large Eddy Simulation, which is able to simulate directly WAve Structure Seabed interaction (hereafter, LES-WASS-2D) has been newly developed. A good agreement has been obtained by the comparison between the existing experimental results and LES-WASS-2D model's results for the permeable submerged breakwater. Moreover, based on the LES-WASS-2D model, the wave energy dissipation due to a permeable submerged breakwater are discussed for regular and irregular waves with relation to its crest width and shape.

It is the new promising method of obtaining the information about the state of a surface of a solid body, thin and multilayer structures. An idea of the method consists in reading and analyzing the relations U(t), dU/dt(t), dU/dt(U) on an electrical cell when anodizing an investigated object. By these relation it is possible to control the presence of impurities in the metal on the path of the anodization front, a structure and characteristics of the object being oxidized as well as of an oxide which is being formed during anodizing, the change in composition of the oxide layer, the thickness and composition of metallic and dielectric layers being a part of the layers boundaries.

The MFC makes the region in the player object center and it judges a relation the object. But it searches the objects which are not relation to game. Consequently, it decreases the speed of game and it recognizes a dangerous characteristic. In this paper, in order to complement a weak point, it applied the avoidance rule of the flocking in npc object. Consequently, the npc object has the concept of range of vision and proposed the method which is possibility of closing the speed decrease of game. This time 2 condition which is proposed must be satisfactory. The method that proposed will play an important role in development of a 3D FPS games.

This paper proposes a new motion estimation algorithm which takes into account the rate-distortion relation in encoding motion compensated error images. The proposed algorithm is based on a new block-matching criterion which is the function of not only the mean squared block-matching error but also the code length for the entropy coded motion vector. The proposed algorithm optimizes the trade-off between the bit rate for motion compensated error images and the bit rate for the motion vectors. Simulation results show that in the motion compensated image coding the proposed motion estimator improves the overall performance by 0.5 dB when compared to the motion estimator which uses MSE only.

Three-dimensional engineering simulations of momentum-driven tornado-like vortices are conducted to investigate the flow dynamics dependency on swirl ratio and the possible relation with real tornado Fujita scales. Numerical results are benchmarked against the laboratory experimental results of Baker (1981) for a fixed swirl ratio: S = 0.28. The simulations are then extended for higher swirl ratios up to S = 2 and the variation of the velocity and pressure flow fields are observed. The flow evolves from the formation of a laminar vortex at low swirl ratio to turbulent vortex breakdown, followed by the vortex touch down at higher swirls. The high swirl ratios results are further matched with full scale data from the Spencer, South Dakota F4 tornado of May 30, 1998 (Sarkar, et al. 2005) and approximate velocity and length scales are determined.
