  • Interim analyses of randomized trials enable investigators to make more efficient use of limited research resources and to satisfy ethical requirements that a regimen be discontinued as soon as it has been established to have an inferior efficacy/toxicity profile. Unfortunately. the integrity and credibility of these trials can be compromised if inappropriate procedures are used in monitoring interim data. 'In this paper we discuss how group sequential designs provide useful guidelines that enable one to satisfy the valid objectives of interim monitoring while avoiding undesirable consequences, and we consider how flexible one can be in the way such designs are implemented. We also provide motivation for the role of data-monitoring committees in preserving study integrity and credibility in either government- or industry-sponsored trials. In our view. these committees should have multidisciplinary representation and membership limited to individuals free of apparent significant conflict of interest, and ideally should be the only individuals to whom the data analysis center provides interim results on relative efficacy of treatment regimens. Finally. we discuss some important practical issues such as estimation following group sequential testing, anal ysis of secondary outcomes after using a group sequential design applied to a primary outcome, early stopping of negative trials. and the role of administrative analyses.

  • In general, if employees recognize that their career are tied up, their overall level of job commitment and job satisfaction are decreased which eventually negatively affect individual performance. Especially, career development in the high specialized job like R&D task is more important than other jobs. While the previous studies showed interest in the negative consequences of career plateau, this study aimed at finding out the antecedents of career plateau. By diving the antecedents of career plateau into organizational level and individual one, we conducted direct effect and interaction effect of antecedents variables on career plateau. The empirical results using employees belonging to government funded R&D institute showed that career development practice and work experience in other institutes have negatively related to career plateau, while age has positively related to career plateau. In addition, the interaction effect between career development practice and work experience in other institute was also significant.

  • Many studies have been published on the relationship between project management styles and project performance. In recent researches, it is argued that project management styles should be different based on project characteristics and these project characteristics may have an effect on the relationship between project management styles and project performance. However, there are few empirical studies covering these issues. In this study, we examined the effect of project characteristics (i.e., degree of newness) on the relationship between project management styles (i.e., team autonomy, internal and external communication, individualism orientation) and project performance. The empirical results using 78 government sponsored R&D projects showed that team autonomy has a stronger positive effect on project performance as project newness becomes higher. In addition, as project newness becomes higher, internal communication showed a stronger positive effect on project performance, while external communication had a stronger negative effect.

  • This study compared and analyzed the efficiency of the research results of the convergence research project operated by the National Science and Technology Research Council and the general research project carried out by the Government-funded research institute and proposed measures to enhance the efficiency of the operation and management of convergence research. Research data were collected from 21 government-funded research institutes through an information disclosure claim and DEA analysis was conducted for efficiency assessment. The SCI papers of convergence research showed high efficiency, and the patent registration and technology transfer sector showed high efficiency of general research projects. This indicates that convergence research projects for securing lead and original technologies are highly efficient, but their performance is low due to lack of participation by businesses in terms of the utilization of derived technologies, and more companies' participation and opportunities are needed for practical use of convergence research results. Through the analysis of efficiency of convergence research project performance, this study provided policy and guidance for R&D planning for rational investment of limited manpower and research costs. Further, future research on identifying efficiency is proposed depending on the type of technology subject to convergence research as a method for managing convergence research.

  • In order to review the recent technological progress and issues on the urban mine resources recycling in Japan and Korea, recycling process of the ELV(End of Life Vehicles) and E-waste(WEEE) were studied. Although technological level for processing of the ELV and E-waste is almost similar in both countries, the treatment of hazadous materials of ELV such as freon, air bag and ASR is unsufficient in Korea. In the E-waste recycling, the technological level is deeply different according to the enterprise size in Korea. Finally, the big R&D project on recycling of urban mine resources sponsored by government in both countries were discussed.

  • As the Korean government initiates the Han-style campaign, the efforts and expectations for the modernization and industrialization of Hanok are growing. Accordingly, a major R&D project sponsored by the government is in progress for the development of related technologies, in which the development of a Hanok design support system based on Building Information Modeling(BIM) technology is included as one of the major subjects. However, the development of design tools for Hanok so far has not focused on the windows and doors, which is another major element of Korean traditional architecture. Therefore, this study developed a BIM-based design tool for Hanok windows and doors as an approach to the integrated design of various Hanok elements and their applications to modern buildings. To this end, the characteristics of Hanok windows and doors were analyzed first in terms of the location, opening method, style, components, and the over-all construction. A design tool was then developed with the parametric modeling functions of the $ArchiCAD^{(R)}$system. The applicability and efficiency of the developed tool were verified with design simulations. This is expected to contribute to not only the application of Hanok windows and doors to modern buildings but also to the further development of an integrated Hanok design system.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the data coverage and citation threshold for analyzing SPLC(Search Path Link Count) as a main path of a historiograph of a certain topic in order to provide 'core' papers of global research trends to a researcher affiliated with a local R&D institution. 5 datasets were constructed by retrieving and collecting 2,318 articles on RGB LED on Web of Science published from 1990-2013 and 20,109 articles which cited these original 2,318. The SPLC analysis was performed on each dataset by increasing the threshold of citation counts, and the changes and resilience of the 28 extraced networks were compared. The results of user feedback on 198 unique core papers from 28 SPLC networks received from LED researchers affiliated with a Korean government-sponsored research institution were also analyzed. As a result, it is found that the nodes in each SPLC network in each dataset were differentiated by the citation counts, while the changes in the structure of SPLC networks were slight after the networks' citation counts were set at 40. Additionally, the user feedback showed that personalized research interest generally matched to the global research trends identified by the SPLC analysis.
