Blueberry producers' management is failing as a result of the price decline caused by an increase in blueberry imports and the accompanying deterioration in management. Consequently, an endeavor was undertaken to verify the measurement and impact from the standpoint of efficiency and productivity of blueberry management, and to offer an indication of management improvement through analysis. Using the Rural Development Administration's income survey data, the data for twenty-four blueberry farms was analyzed. First, the management effectiveness of blueberry cultivators was evaluated. Using the CCR model (0.7297) and the BCC model (08148), the efficiency of a farm was examined. When the efficiency is one, CCR is ten and BCC is fifteen, and in overall, it was found to be ineffective, the efficiency declined from 2018 to 2019, but climbed again in 2020, according to the annual analysis. The MPI index was then used to examine productivity. T2's MPI index was 1.3338, whereas T3's MPI index was 0.8896, demonstrating a considerable decline in TC. This indicates that technological progress is not being accomplished, necessitating the need for countermeasures. In order to improve the management efficiency of blueberry producers, it is necessary to reduce costs and improve receivable prices through producer organization, and to actively introduce new technologies.

본 연구의 목적은 OECD 국가의 환경제약을 포함한 기술효율과 생산성 상실을 추정하여 환경효율지수를 실증분석하고 국가별 지속가능 발전 정도를 비교해 보고자 함이다. 1985년부터 1999년까지의 기간 동안 OECD 20개국의 패널자료를 사용하여 쌍곡선효율척도(hyperbolic measure of productive efficiency)에 기초한 기술효율을 측정하였다. 나아가 각 국가의 환경제약으로 인한 생산성 상실률과 산출에 대한 상실정도를 계측하였다. 1985년부터 1999년 동안 OECD 각 국가들의 환경효율지수는 점차 하락하고 있는 추세를 보여준다. 일본, 독일, 프랑스 등의 국가에서 오염물 처리에 상당한 부담을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한국은 전반적으로 환경경제효율성이 높지만 1990년대 후반에 환경효율성이 악화되었고 OECD 국가들과 비슷하게 질소산화물 처리에 대한 부담이 높았다.

This study analyzes a relationship between Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) efficiency scores and a normalization index in order to examine the validity of DEA models. A normalization index concerned in this study is 'sales per R&D project fund' which is regarded as a crucial R&D project performance evaluation index in practice. For this correlation analysis, three distinct DEA models are selected such as DEA basic model, DEA/AR-I revised model(i.e. DEA basic model with Acceptance Region Type I constraints) and Super-Efficiency(SE) model. Especially, SE model is adopted where efficient R&D projects(i.e. Decision Making Units, DMU's) with DEA efficiency score of unity from DEA basic model can be further differentiated in ranks. Considering the non-normality and outliers, two rank correlation coefficients such as Spearman's ${\rho}_s$ and Kendall's ${\tau}_B$ are investigated in addition to Pearson's ${\gamma}$. With an up-to-date empirical massive dataset of n = 482 R&D projects associated with R&D Loan Program of Korea Information Communication Promotion Fund in the year of 2011, statistically significant (+) correlations are verified between the normalization index and every model's DEA efficiency scores with all three correlation coefficients. Especially, the congruence verified in this empirical analysis can be a useful reference for enhancing the practitioner's acceptability onto DEA efficiency scores as a real-world R&D project performance evaluation index.

The effectiveness of silicon nitride SiNx surface passivation is investigated and quantified. This study adopted single-layer antireflection (SLAR) coating of SiNx for efficiency improvement of solar cell. The silicon nitride films were deposited by means of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) in planar coil reactor. The process gases used were pure ammonia and a mixture of silane and helium. The thickness and the refractive index on the films were measured by ellipsometry and chemical bonds were determined by using an FT-IR equipment. This films obtained were analyzed in term of hydrogen content, refractive index for gas flow ratio $(NH_3/SiH_4)$, and efficiency of solar cell. The polycrystalline silicon solar cells passivated by silicon nitride shows efficiency above 12.8%.

An organization must restructure itself once it makes outsourcing decisions. Outsourcing is a strategy that a company adopts to direct internal efforts into strengthening its core business processes while contracting other companies for strategically less critical tasks thereby improving organizational production efficiency, and the strategy inevitably involves organizational restructuring. While public service organizations have increasingly embraced outsourcing as well, only a handful of studies analyze the change in efficiency from organizational restructuring. Therefore, this study uses Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to test whether efficiency improved in Korea Expressway Corporation's restructured branch offices. Korea Expressway Corporation evaluated and grouped its branches based on road extensions management, traffic volume, the number of snow days, road deterioration, and the number of junctions to differentially allocate its personnel and budget. The extent of efficiency improvement in each group was compared, and results show that inefficiency did not exist in any of the groups. The efficiency index among the three group categories was similar across the board; 9 offices in the A-group with its expanded personnel and budget had an efficiency index of 0.954, 12 offices in the B-group with unchanged personnel and budget conditions had an index of 0.950, and 12 offices in the C-group with reduced personnel and budget had an index of 0.937. SFA facilitates efficiency analyses because it does not require pre-restructuring data. This study is easy to apply in practice and empirically tests efficiency improvement in organizational restructuring based on data collected from all the branch offices in Korea Expressway Corporation.

유전표지인자를 이용한 선발(marker assisted selection; MAS)과 전통적인 표현형기록에 근거한 반응의 비교분석을 위하여 고정효과모델(deterministic model)을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 자신의 단일 기록을 이용한 경우와 자신의 기록과 자신의 표지인자 정보를 이용할 경우 유전력이 높을수록 MAS의 효율성이 38%정도 높게 나타났다. 그러나 유전력이 높은 경우(50%) MAS의 효율성은 약 1%정도로서 효율성이 대단히 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 자신의 기록과 부모의 표현형 정보에 표지인자 정보를 추가할 경우 MAS의 효율성은 27% 정도였으며 마찬가지로 유전력이 높은 경우에는 효율성이 0에 가깝게 나타났다. MAS의 효율성은 유전력이 낮을수록 그리고 이용한 표지인자의 유전적 변이가 클수록 효율성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.

Despite its contribution to the Korean medical service industry the question of how efficiently the Korean public hospitals have operated has been unresolved. This study gauges and analyzes the overall efficiency and the Malmquist productivity index in the industry over the period 1992 through 2001. In addition to cost efficiency. we also measure technical, allocative, pure technical and scale efficiencies. Furthermore. the Malmquist index is decomposed into efficiency and frontier changes. We identify several important factors which seem to have strong relationship with various inefficiency estimates. The results indicate that on average the public hospitals has wasted a significant amount of resources and costs over the period. Unlike many other industries, the low level of cost efficiency of the public hospital industry is mainly due to allocative inefficiency rather than technical inefficiency. The Maimquist productivity indices seem both due to the frontier change and efficiency change, but with more effect by the former. The results also indicate that the turnover of hospital beds has played an important role in determining efficiency and productivity of this important industry.

Optical transparency and high diffraction efficiency are two essential factors for high performance of the photopolymer. Optical transparency mainly depends on the miscibility between polymer binder and photopolymerized polymer, while diffraction efficiency depends on the refractive index modulation between polymer binder and photopolymerized polymer. For most of organic materials, the large refractive index difference between two polymers accompanies large structural difference that leads to the poor miscibility and thus poor optical quality via light scattering. Therefore, it is difficult to design a high-performance photopolymer satisfying both requirements. In this work, first, we prepared a new phase-stable photopolymer (PMMA) with large refractive index modulation and investigated the optical properties. Our photopolymer is based on modified poly (methyl methacrylate) as a polymer binder, acryl amide as a photopolymerizable monomer, triethanolamine as initiator, and yellow eosin as a photosensitizer at 532 nm. Diffraction efficiency over 85% and optical transmittance over 90% were obtained for the photopolymer. Second, Organic-inorganic nanocomposite films were prepared by dispersing an aromatic methacrylic monomer and a photo- initiator in organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel matrices. The film properties could be controlled by optimizing the content of an organically modified silica precursor (TSPEG) in the sol-gel matrices. The photopolymer film modified with the organic chain (TSPEG) showed high diffraction efficiency (> 90%) under an optimized condition. High diffraction efficiency could be ascribed to the fast diffusion and efficient polymerization of monomers under interference light to generate refractive index modulation. The TSPEG modified photopolymer film could be successfully used for holographic memory.

This paper presents a framework to analyze the change in the research and development (R&D) efficiency of government-funded research institutes (GRIs) in Korea. Cumulative data envelopment analysis/Malmquist index method is utilized to analyze the changes in R&D efficiency of GRIs. Data analysis of the R&D activities of 10 GRIs in Korea Research Council of Fundamental Science & Technology showed that the average R&D efficiency of the 10 GRIs improved from 2009 to 2013. However, the efficiency of a few GRIs decreased in terms of the catch-up index. The proposed framework can help management teams diagnose the current state of R&D activities and determine the efficacy of strategic actions by comparing efficiencies in the past.
