Concept of Open Innovation (OI) has recently prevailed in academia and industry as a model for increase in R&D productivity. This concept which in turn leads to an improvement in R&D investment efficiency has therefore drawn many firms to adopt this new model. And this has been the same for Korean firms since the extensive introduction of the OI concept in the early 2009. Yet, the problem with this is that the Korean firms do not know much about this concept in practice: what causes OI to occur, what the intended purpose of its introduction is, what proper procedures to take for a successful introduction, and so on. Based on LG Chem’s Open Innovation movement case which ignited in the late 2006, this paper answers the questions previously raised. The successful introduction was made possible by taking a proper procedure of change management along with a strong support from its senior management. This paper also identifies how the OI movement, which was a way to introduce new technology from the outside, has acted as a catalyst in forming a cooperative R&D atmosphere in LG Chem, and how the role of OI has transformed into a strategic tool for organization change.

Cu가 기존 배선물질인 Al을 대체함에 따라 resistance-capacitance (RC) delay나 electromigration (EM) 등의 문제들이 어느 정도 해결되었다. 그러나 지속적인 배선 폭의 감소로 배선의 저항 증가, EM 현상 강화 그리고 stability 악화 등의 문제가 지속적으로 야기되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 Cu alloy seed layer를 이용한 barrier 자가형성 공정에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 이 공정은 Cu 합금을 seed layer로 사용하여 도금을 한 후 열처리를 통해 SiO2와의 계면에서 barrier를 자가 형성시키는 공정이다. 이 공정은 매우 균일하고 얇은 barrier를 형성할 수 있고 별도의 barrier와 glue layer를 형성하지 않아 seed layer를 위한 공간을 추가로 확보할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 또한, via bottom에 barrier가 형성되지 않아 배선 전체 저항을 급격히 낮출 수 있다. 합금 물질로는 초기 Al이나 Mg에 대한 연구가 진행되었으나, 낮은 oxide formation energy로 인해 SiO2에 과도한 손상을 주는 문제점이 제기되었다. 최근 Mn을 합금 물질로 사용한 안정적인 barrier 형성 공정이 보고 되고 있다. 하지만, barrier 형성을 하기 위해 300도 이상의 열처리 온도가 필요하고 열처리 시간 또한 긴 단점이 있다. 본 실험에서는 co-sputtering system을 사용하여 Cu-V 합금을 형성하였고, barrier를 자가 형성을 위해 300도에서 500도까지 열처리 온도를 변화시키며 1시간 동안 열처리를 실시하였다. Cu-V 공정 조건 확립을 위해 AFM, XRD, 4-point probe system을 이용하여 표면 거칠기, 결정성과 비저항을 평가하였다. Cu-V 박막 내 V의 함량은 V target의 plasma power density를 변화시켜 조절 하였으며 XPS를 통해 분석하였다. 열처리 후 시편의 단면을 TEM으로 분석하여 Cu-V 박막과 SiO2 사이에 interlayer가 형성된 것을 확인 하였으며 EDS를 이용한 element mapping을 통해 Cu-V 내 V의 거동과 interlayer의 성분을 확인하였다. PVD Cu-V 박막은 기판 온도에 큰 영향을 받았고, 200 도 이상에서는 Cu의 높은 표면에너지에 의한 agglomeration 현상으로 거친 표면을 가지는 박막이 형성되었다. 7.61 at.%의 V함량을 가지는 Cu-V 박막을 300도에서 1시간 열처리 한 결과 4.5 nm의 V based oxide interlayer가 형성된 것을 확인하였다. 열처리에 의해 Cu-V 박막 내 V은 SiO2와의 계면과 박막 표면으로 확산하며 oxide를 형성했으며 Cu-V 박막 내 V 함량은 줄어들었다. 300, 400, 500도에서 열처리 한 결과 동일 조성과 열처리 온도에서 Cu-Mn에 의해 형성된 interlayer의 두께 보다 두껍게 성장 했다. 이는 V의 oxide formation nergyrk Mn 보다 작으므로 SiO2와의 계면에서 산화막 형성이 쉽기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한, V+5 이온 반경이 Mn+2 이온 반경보다 작아 oxide 내부에서 확산이 용이하며 oxide 박막 내에 여기되는 전기장이 더 큰 산화수를 가지는 V의 경우 더 크기 때문으로 판단된다.

This study reports a gneiss dome in the Hongseong area, southwestern margin of the Gyeonggi massif. This gneiss dome, named here as 'Oseosan dome' because it is located around the Oseosan, the highest peak along the western coastal area, is composed mainly of the Neoproterozoic to Paleozoic ortho- and paragneiss, mafic metavolcanic rock, and metadolerite. Migmatization affected these rock units, in which leucocratic(granitic) materials derived from anatexis frequently occur as patch and vein parallel to or cutting through internal foliation. The Oseosan dome shows overall concentric geometry and outward-dipping internal foliation, but also partly complicatedly changeable or inward-dipping foliation. Taking available petrological and geochronological data into account, the Oseosan dome is interpreted to be exhumed quickly into the upper crustal level during the Late Triassic, accompanied in part with anatexis and granite intrusion. In addition, extensional shear zone intruded by the Late Triassic synkinematic granite and sedimentary basin have been reported around the Oseosan dome. These evidences possibly suggest that the Oseosan dome formed in closely associated with the Late Triassic extensional movement and diapiric flow. Alternatively, 1) thrust- or reverse fault-related doming or 2) interference between independent folds during structural inversion of the Late Traissic to Middle Jurassic sedimentary basin can be also considered as dome-forming process. However, considering the northern limb of the Oseosan dome, cutting by the Late Traissic granite, and the southern limb, cutting by contractional fault reactivated after the Middle Jurassic, it is likely that the domal structure formed during or prior to the Late Triassic.

'The Joobang' is a cooking book written purely in Korean which came from a Mr. Lee. It is unknown when and by whom this book was written, but it is inferred from red pepper mentioned in this book and from Korean-writting type that the book was written around in the mid-nineteenth century. The contents of 'the Joobang' consist of thirty seven items in all : sixteen items of rice alcoholics, five side dishes, eleven Tucks(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) and five processed materials. Cereals for making rice alcoholics were regular rice and sticky rice. In the first brew, rice alcoholics is made all from regular rice, and in the second brew, fifty six percent of regular rice and forty four percent of sticky rice was made use of. For five items of alcoholics forming 31.3% of alcoholics, flour was added, in which case the proportion of leaven to cereals was lower. There were four types of processing cereals in brewing rice alcoholics Jee-ae-bop(steamed rice, 60.9%), thick gruel with cereals ground and completely cooked(8.7%), thick gruel with cereals ground and half cooked (26.1%) and GooMung Tuck(doughnut-shaped rice cake, 4.3%). The comparison of the materials for brewing rice alcoholics and of the types of processing cereals presented in the seven cooking books purely in Korean(Umsik Deemeebang, JoobangMoon, Umsikbo, Sool-mandununbop, Kyuhap chongseo. The Kims' Joobangmoon and The Lee's Umsikbup) showed us the following facts ; Yihwajoo (rice alcoholics brewed around the blooming time of pear trees) and Kwahajoo(rice alcoholics which passed the summed time) were most often introduced and commonest, and the materials for brewing and the types of processing little changed over times. The materials for side dishes were all animal food, and vegetable food was little used for side dishes. Red pepper was used for seasoning. It is a problem of Korean traditional cooking that there were no units of measuring for side dishes. The main materials for Tuck(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) were sticky rice, regular rice and honey. There was a variety of terms for the process, from which we can see that the procedures of making Tuck(rice cakes) and Guaja(cookies) were very complicate. Processed materials were chiefly made of sticky rice and the material of firewood(oak trees) and the strength of fire(fire burning vigorously and fire turning to ashes) were described.

In this study, we examined the preparation and hydrolysis property of immobilized urease membrane to decompose harmful urea in the body and remove ammonia which was produced by its decomposition. Urease immobilized membrane was prepared by introducing anion-exchange group DEA into porous hollow-fiber membrane by radiation graft polymerization method, and immobilization of urease. When urease was immobilized at membrane introduced with anion-exchange group, the more increasing grafting rate, the more increasing immobilization amount. The result originates from the fact that a greater amount of protein was immobilized by forming a multilayer on the longer grafted chain. Meanwhile, the addition of the cross-linker was possible not only to suppress separation phenomenon produced during a washing process of immobilized urease membrane but also to enable the recycling of membrane. Urease Immobilized membrane with no separation phenomenon was prepared by cross-linking reaction for 5 h, and the hydrolysis rate of prepared urease immobilized membrane was over 98% and 50%, respectively, in 1 mol and 4 mol urea solutions.

Conventional designs of landfill covers use geosynthetics such as geomembrane and GCL, and clay liners to lower the permeability of final covers of landfill sites. However, differential settlement and the variation of temperature or humidity in landfill sites cause the development of cracks or structural damage inside the final cover. This study examined the application of a Self Recovering Sustainable Liner (SRSL) as an alternative landfill final cover material. SRSL consists of double layers, which have chemicals, can generate precipitates filling the pores of the layers by chemical reaction. The interface material forms an impermeable layer and in case of internal cracks, the reactants of the two layers migrate towards the crack and heal it by forming another liner. In this study the applicability of SRSL material for landfill final cover was examined by performing flexible wall permeameter tests to prove that the hydraulic conductivity is lower than the regulations and unconfined compression tests to judge whether the strength satisfies the restriction for the landfill final cover. Furthermore, the environmental impacts on the permeability and strength were evaluated. The experimental results show that the SRSL has lower hydraulic conductivity and higher strength than the regulations and is little influenced by climatic changes such as wet/dry or freeze/thaw process.

During a dilute acid hydrolysis, degradation products are formed or liberated by pre-treatment of lignocelluloses depend on both the biomass and the pretreatment conditions such as temperature, time, pressure, pH, redox conditions, and addition of catalysts. In lignocellulosic biomass, sugars can be degraded to furfural which is formed from pentoses and 5-hydroxymethulfurfural (HMF) from hexoses. 5-HMF can be further degraded, forming levulinic acid and formic acid. Acetate is liberated from hemicellulose during hydrolysis. Some decomposed compounds hinder the subsequent bioconversion of the solubilized sugars into desired products, reducing conversion yields and rates during fermentation. In the present work, samples of rapeseed strawwere hydrolyzed to study the optimal pretreatment condition by assessing yields of sugars and decomposed products obtained under different reaction conditions ($H_2SO_4$ 0.5-1.25% (w/w), reaction time 0-20 min and temperature range 150-220 C). A careful analytical investigation of acid hydrolyzate of rapeseed straw has not yet been undertaken, and a well-closed mass balance for the hydrolyzate in general is necessary to verify the productivity and economic predictions for this process.

A total of sixty-six samples of Nuruk, a fermention starter used to make the Korean traditional rice wine, Makgeolli, were collected from central and southern regions of Korea in 2013 and 2014. We classified two groups of the Nuruk samples, "commercial" and "home-made", according to the manufacturing procedure and purpose of use. Commercial Nuruks were made in a controlled environment where the temperature and humidity are fixed and the final product is supplied to Makgeolli manufacturers. Home-made Nuruks were made under uncontrolled conditions in the naturally opened environment and were intended for use in the production of small amounts of home-brewed Makgeolli. We obtained more than five hundred isolates including filamentous fungi and yeasts from the Nuruk samples followed by identification of fungal species. Also we stored glycerol stocks of each single isolate at $-70^{\circ}C$. We identified the species of each isolate based on the sequences of ITS regions amplified with two different universal primer pairs. We also performed morphological characterization of the filamentous fungi and yeast species through observations under the microscope. We investigated the major fungal species of commercial and home-made Nuruks by counting the colony forming units (CFU) and analyzing the occurrence tendency of fungal species. While commercial Nuruks contained mostly high CFU of yeasts, home-made Nuruks showed relatively high occurrence of filamentous fungi. One of the representative Nuruk manufacturers used both domestic wheat bran and imported ones, mainly from US, as raw material. Depending on the source of ingredient, the fungal diversity was somewhat different. Another commercial Nuruk sample was collected twice, once in 2013 and again in 2014, and showed different diversity of fungal species in each year. Nuruks obtained from the southern regions of Korea and Jeju island showed high frequency of yeast such as Saccharomycopsis fibuligera and Pichia species as well as unique filamentous fungus, Monascus species. S. fibuligera was easily found in many Nuruk samples with high CFU. The major filamentous fungi were Aspergillus, Lichtheimia, Mucor and Penicillium species. In order to further our understanding of the isolates and their potential industrial applications, we assayed three enzymes, alpha amylase, glucoamylase and acid protease from 140 isolates out of about five hundred isolates and selected about 10 excellent strains with high enzyme activities. With these fungal isolates, we will perform omics analyses including genomics, transcriptomics, metabolic pathway analyses, and metabolomics followed by whole genome sequencing of unique isolates associated with the basic research of Nuruk and that also has applications in the Makgeolli making process.

This study investigated the process of change of 32 urban parks designated during the period of Japanese colonial rule according to growth and development of the city in Busan. Particularly, researching included analyizing books, notification, data, and documents relevant to the history of urban planning published by Busan city. As a result, Daejeong Park, Gokwan Park, and Yongdusan Park had been utilized by Japanese residents under the Japanese colonial rule before planning of urban parks, and 32 parks legally specified in 1944 were planned by considering the prevention against disasters. After emancipation, there were an unauthorized building, housing construction, business district, public office, and school facility in the sites of the parks due to the influence of the Korean War and reorganization of urban planning. The majority of parkways and small parks downtown were eliminated. However, unexecuted parks that the government had designed on the edge of town during the Japanese colonial period have become major parks downtown through the city's growth. Yeonji Park, Yangjeong Park, and Danggok Park have been being building as a business of parks for a comfortable city, forming downtown along with the Green-Busan Policy. Thus, 32 parks designated under the Japanese colonial rule have made or got out of use reflecting on the phases of the times of modern Korean society. It turns out that these parks need an investigation about condition for land possession and purchase of the site of the parks in order for social common capital.
