To explore the answer on how the evaluators' network affects efficiency of National R&D Program, this paper analyzes the network of evaluators who attended the peer-review committee for National Nuclear R&D Program from 2007 to 2008. The result derived from network analysis was applied to measure the efficiency of programs by Data Envelopment Analysis. The result shows that the weaker network produces higher efficiency as much as the research result itself. Along with the expertise of evaluators themselves, this paper implies that network should be considered as a main item for evaluation.

[ $Poly(_{D}-ldactide)\;(_{D}-PLA)$ ] was synthesized to have low molecular weight for miscible blends with a high molecular $poly(_{L}-lactide)\;(_{L} -PLA)$. The blends were prepared by dissolving the two components of $_{L}-PLA\;and\;_{D}-PLA\;(w/w)$ in chloroform (l00/0, 90/10, 70/30, 50/50, 30/70, 0/100). The miscibility of these miscible blends was characterized by gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the selective degradability by enzymes (proteinase K, subtilisin and $\alpha$-chymotrypsin). The coating efficiency of PLA blends onto paper was determined and the degrading activity cellulases by on these blends. The miscibility, coating efficiency and enzymatic degradability of these blends were decreased according to increasing of $_{D}-PLA$ blending part. Such results were attributed to the extent of coating application of PLA, with better miscibility (compatibility), coating efficiency and degradability due to a higher $_{L}-PLA$ content.

Substrate removal efficiency of industrial wastewater from dye plant was investigated with fluidized-bed biofilm reactor(FBBR). Wastewater was diluted by 2, 3 and 6 times for experiment. When F/M ratio was increased 0.2 to 0.3, substrate removal efficiency of wastewater was rapidly decreased in all dilution ratio. Substrate removal efficiency was increased with dilution ratio in same F/M ratio, with hydraulic retention time. In case of 6 times diluted wastewater, below 0.2 F/M ratio, removal efficiency of BOD was $90{\sim}97%$. For reactor design, the parameters such as Y, $k_d$ and r was obtained as follows: $Y=0.3365\;k_d=0.03782\;day^{-1}\;r=0.997$ in 2 times diluted $Y=0.3341\;k_d=0.02750\;day^{-1}\;r=0.996$ in 3 times diluted $Y=0.3365\;k_d=0.03434\;day^{-1}\;r=0.998$ in 6 times diluted

The current environment of technological and competitive changes influences not only the business R&D environment but also government driven national R&D strategies. Open innovation has now become an important paradigm that is replacing the outdated paradigm of closed innovation. Many companies and nations have been increasing R&D investment because R&D has been considered a driving force for national and corporate competitive advantage. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the performance of R&D focused on open innovation according to scientific and technological outputs which is based on paper publications, patents and etc. Comparisons should not be only based on the quantity but also on the quality of the output. This paper shows that it is possible to develop DEA models that utilize the Analytical Hierarchical Process in order to transform the qualitative index into a quantitative index. Hence, the relative efficiency for R&D organizations is obtained based on both quantity and quality outputs and subsequently provides comprehensive and realistic methods for decision makers to identify levels of project efficiency.

Relay-assisted D2D communication extends the communication range of the D2D pairs and helps users to form D2D pairs effectively. However, due to the introduction of the multi-hop relaying, the D2D communication has to occupy extra transmission time, which may decrease the efficiency of the communication system. In this paper, we propose a scheme to make node receive D2D signal and BS signal at overlapping time to improve the spectrum efficiency according to ZigZag decoding and successive-interference-cancellation (SIC). In this way, more data can be delivered during the same duration, thus the network throughput can be further improved. Numerical results verify the performance improvement of the proposed scheme when compared with a baseline scheme. Moreover, we expand the proposed scheme from one-hop relay scenario to multi-hop relay scenario.

This paper was compared for the output voltage and efficiency of the single-phase Z-source inverter(ZSI) according to shoot through duty ratio D. The eight single-phase ZSI in this study are typical ZSI, Embedded ZSI(EZSI), Improved ZSI(IZSI), Quasi ZSI(QZSI), Series ZSI, Trans ZSI(TSI), Switched inductor ZSI(SL-ZSI) and Extended boost ZSI (exZSI). The eight ZSI are divided into two Groups. ; Group-1 which is ZSI with the ordinary voltage boost factor B, and Group-2 which is ZSI with the maximum voltage boost factor B. For the execution of the proposed study, the PSIM simulation was achieved under the condition of input DC voltage=150[V] of ZSI, load =30[${\Omega}$] and 60[Hz] output filter. The output voltage and efficiency of each ZSI were calculated within the limits of D=0.1~0.4. As a result, the output peak voltage of Group-2 was suddenly increased in a specified duty ratio D, and its efficiency was rapidly decreased. On the contrary, Group-1 shown the output and efficiency characteristics without sudden change compared to Group-2 despite the duty ratio increase. The efficiency of the Group-2 was sharply declined at duty ratio D of the most output voltage, but, in case of Group-1, the efficiency was slightly declined. Finally, the input DC current of ZSI with DCM and CCM was discussed.

The construction industry has been recognized as lagging behind other industries in the area of research and development (R&D) due primarily to the lack of R&D funds. To overcome this situation, the Korea Ministry of Construction and Transportation has a plan to expand its investments on the construction R&D up to 1.72 billion US dollars over the next 3 years. Despite this effort, it is still challenging to conduct the quantitative measurement on the efficiency of construction R&D projects, which can be utilized as the objective basis in the reasonable selection of a promising R&D team or in the consequential evaluation of a R&D performance. This study aims to conduct the efficiency analysis on the construction R&D projects to provide the basis for evaluating the performance of research and development. Toward this end, this study performs an efficiency analysis, which reflects all of the input and output data into/from the construction R&D by utilizing the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The proposed methodology can be utilized to make a better decision on the priority of the R&D investments and present a sound basis to suggest the areas to be improved so as to reduce the inefficiency of R&D projects.

An experiment was conducted with broiler (Cobb 400) male chicks (n = 480) to determine the effect of betaine (Bet) supplementation (0 and 800 mg/kg) to diets containing five concentrations (15, 18, 20, 22 and 24 g/kg crude protein, CP) of methionine (Met) in a $2{\times}5$ factorial study for performance, carcass traits, immune responses, and serum parameters. Each diet was fed ad libitum from 1 to 42 d of age to 8 replicates of 6 chicks. Birds were housed in battery brooders placed in an open-sided poultry shed. Body weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion efficiency and slaughter variables were recorded at 21 and 42 d of age. Serum biochemical profile, antibody production against Newcastle disease (ND) and lymphocyte proliferation ratio (LPR) were analysed at 42 d of age. Supplementing Bet to diets containing sub-optimal concentrations of Met (15 g/kg) improved weight gain and breast yield at 21 d of age (p<0.01), and feed conversion efficiency at 42 d of age (p<0.05). Feed efficiency at 21 d of age, body weight gain at 42 d of age, slaughter variables except breast yield at 21 d of age and ND antibody titres were not affected (p>0.05) by the interaction. LPR increased (p<0.05) with Bet supplementation at 20 g Met/kg CP equal to those broilers fed 24 g Met without Bet. Bet supplementation enhanced the concentrations of protein, globulin and cholesterol in serum of broilers fed sub-optimal concentrations of Met. Results suggested that Bet supplementation (800 mg/kg diet) enhanced growth (21 d), feed conversion efficiency (42 d), breast yield and lymphocyte proliferation in broilers fed a diet containing 15 g Met/kg CP.
