The study was conducted to select and optimize microsatellite (MS) markers for evaluation of Korean native pig (KNP) populations in order to provide standard for the classification and breed definition of the indigenous breeds. The study also aimed to characterize and classify each KNP populations. A total of 648 pigs from 17 pig populations including six KNP, four Chinese native pig and four commercial pig populations were analyzed with 26 MS markers. KNP populations formed separate cluster from those of Chinese native pig and introduced pig populations. Expected heterozygosity (He) of KNP populations were 0.48~0.55 except two populations with 0.65. Genetic distances between KNP populations were relatively shorter: 0.12-0.34. Among six KNP populations, three showed high genetic uniformity, two showed lower uniformity and one showed high level of impurity and heterozygosity. The results can be used to evaluate and manage animal genetic resources at national scale.

Recently, the R&D paradigm has become oriented toward convergence technology and interdisciplinary research. In this study, to elucidate the characteristics of research groups that promote the performance of convergence research, we take into account the input characteristics, disciplinary characteristics and collaborative characteristics of research groups. For this study purpose, 5,217 SCI papers published from 104 centers in Advanced Research Center Projects are analyzed as research outputs. The research findings are that the disciplinary balance in the interdisciplinary characteristics and the number of partners in the collaborative characteristics are positively related to the convergence of R&D outputs. The research field of a group introduced as a control variable exerts a significant effect on the convergent R&D outputs. In conclusion, it is necessary to organize internally with the same number of each disciplinary researcher in a research group and to activate external collaboration with partners in order to produce more outputs of convergent research.

This study examines the relationship between R&D(research & development) investment and market value among KOSDAQ firms in the Korea Stock Exchange. We investigate the effect of R&D investment on firm value in both total sample and sub-samples classified by firm characteristics based on types of firms. And we study the impact of a major economic disruption as the global financial crisis triggered by sub-prime mortgage problem in the US on R&D investment relative to the firm value. We find that R&D investment positively affects firm value and the squared term of R&D investment is found to be significant and negatively correlated with market value. This suggests the presence of nonlinear relationship like a reverse U-shape between R&D investment and market value in total sample and most of sub-samples. And we find firm characteristics and global financial crisis partially affect the contribution of R&D investment to market value in some of sub-samples.

제1차 벤처붐을 겪은 이후 후기에 안정된 기업에 투자를 선호하는 벤처투자방식의 변화가 나타나고 있다. 기업성장단계에서 초기에서 중기에 있는 기업의 경우 자금의 부족을 경험하며, 지속적인 성장을 위해서 정부 R&D자금 지원을 받고 있다. 하지만 정부의 R&D자금 지원이 과연 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되고 있는가에 대한 우려의 목소리가 있다. 본 연구는 제조업에 속하는 벤처기업을 대상으로 DEA 효율성 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통하여 제조업에 속한 핵심 산업인 ICT제품과 같은 첨단제조와 기계, 자동차와 같은 일반제조에 속한 벤처기업의 효율성을 살펴보고, R&D지원을 받는 벤처기업과 그렇지 않은 기업을 비교분석한다. 추가로 두 집단 간의 특성(혁신성, 성장성, 수익성, 안전성)이 1년간 어떻게 변화하였는지 분석한다. 실증 분석결과, 제조업에 속한 R&D자금을 지원받는 벤처기업의 경우 그렇지 않은 기업보다 효율성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 지원을 받은 벤처기업이 지속가능한 측면에서 비지원기업 보다는 경쟁력이 낮음을 시사한다. 그리고 1년간의 여러 특성의 변화를 살펴본 결과, 혁신성에서는 지원기업이 높은 성과를 창출하였지만, 수익성에 있어서 비지원기업 보다 저조한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 정부의 R&D지원이 지속가능성 측면에서 경쟁력이 있는 기업에게 지원되기 위해서는 기술력뿐만 아니라 경영 효율성을 고려하는 시도가 필요하다.

This study investigated the clinical characteristics of the Internet addiction risk group using MMPI-2 and discussed whether the MMPI-2 can be used for diagnosis, evaluation and intervention of the Internet addiction risk group. We verified the difference in the MMPI-2 scales between the addiction-risk group and the general user group, and verified whether the substance-related scales MAC-R, AAP, and AAS scales can distinguish between Internet addiction risk group and general users. The results of the analysis of the MMPI-2 characteristics of 39 Internet addiction risk group and 21 general user group who visited internet addiction counseling center showed significant difference in the D, Pa, Pt, Sc, and Si scales on the clinical scale. There was no difference in the MAC-R, AAS, and APS scales between the Internet addiction group and the general user group. This suggests, that it is not possible to screen the Internet addiction risk group with the supplementary measure, and it is necessary to develop a new scale to diagnose internet addiction.

Duroc is widely used to improve the meat quality and productivity. To elucidate the phylogenetic relation and the sequence specificity for the maternal property, the complete sequence of mitochondrial genome was determined and the population diversity of Duroc was investigated in this study. The length of mtDNA tested is 16,584-bp. There are several insertion/deletion mutations in the control region and coding regions for tRNA and rRNA, respectively, but not in peptide-coding regions. Four peptide-coding genes(COⅡ, COⅢ, ND3 and ND4) showed incomplete termination codon sequences such as T--, and two(ND2 and ND4L) did alternative initiation codons(AIC), respectively. Especially, the initiation codon sequences of ND2 gene were polymorphic in this population. Polymorphisms were detected in 11-bp duplication motif within control region as well as ND2 and CYTB. Variation patterns observed from the tests on three mtDNA regions were linked completely and then two haplotypes obtained from combining the data dividing this population. Duroc mtDNA is observed at the European pig cluster in the phylogenetic tree, however, the results from the population analyses supported previous opinions. This study suggests that the breed Duroc was mainly originated from the European pig lineage, and Asian lineage was also used to form the pig breed Duroc as maternal progenitors.

MC4R, PRKAG3, FABP3, and ESR have reported as important candidate genes related to some economic traits in pigs. To investigate the association between these genes and economic traits, the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) was conducted on 147 individuals (96 Durocs and 86 Korea native pigs; KNP) using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). Different genotype frequencies of 4 candidate genes were observed in Duroc and KNP. There were significant associations between MC4R polymorphic site and average daily gain (ADG, p<0.05) and backfat thickness (BF, p<0.05) in the Duroc, ADG (p<0.05) and days to 70 kg (p<0.05) in KNP. PRXAG3 polymorphic site were significantly .elated to BF (p<0.05) in the Duroc, ADG (p<0.05) and days to 70 kg (p<0.05) in the KNP. In FABP3, association with BF (p<0.05) in the Duroc, ADG (p<0.05) and days to 70 kg (p<0.05) in the KNP were found. ESR polymorphic site was not significantly associated to any other traits.

This study was conducted to analyze the genetic characteristics of Korean Native Pigs(KNP), and to establish an individual identification system comprising many microsatellite markers located on different pig autosomes. Genotype data from 13 microsatellites typed in 446 animals was used to determine the validation of a method of individual identification in 4 KNP. A total of 112 alleles of the 13 microsatellites were detected and average heterozygosities(polymorphic information content) ranged from 0.286(0.423) to 0.686(0.796) in this study. Comparing the pattern of allele frequency among the KNP, Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc breeds, there was specific differentiation between populations at multi-allelic loci. The cumulative power of discrimination(CPD) was 99.999% by including 10 microsatellite loci for the individual identification system. The probability that two different individuals incidentally have same genotype was estimated to be $0.36{\times}10^{-9}$. The system employing these 10 markers therefore proved to be applicable to the individual identification of KNP.

A male sterile facilitated recurrent selection population was developed by the barley breeding team of Yeongnam Crop Experiment Station. To breed this population, three composite cross populations and a composite population of breeding lines in our country were used as the materials. This population was developed in order to breed early maturing, wet-soil tolerant and high yielding barley varieties, adapted for double cropping with rice in southern part of Korea. The population was named by RSPYB#l which means Recurrent Selection Population No.1. of Yeongnam Barley.
