  • A need for sharing the R&D information at a national level regardless of the ministry in charge of it is being aroused. However, this information is being managed by different institutes under different ministries without a standard identifier which makes it difficult to manage the information such as to look up duplicate projects. A URN-based identifier is required for the integrated management and utilization of the national R&D information. In this paper, the concept of the identification metadata for applying the identification system and the status of the information management by each institute will be the subject for discussion. Based on this, the elements required for issuing a unique identification number and identifier to the national R&D projects will be suggested in this paper.

  • Protein-calorie malnutrition is common in maintenance dialysis patients. Indeed, diabetic patients with chronic renal failure are considered to be at increased risk of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional status and markers of inflammation of hemodialysis patients with and without type 2 diabetes. We compared nutritional parameters and C-reactive protein (CRP) as a marker of inflammation in 30 type 2 diabetic patients and age-matched 30 non-diabetic patients with hemodialysis. Serum albumin was significantly lower in patients with type 2 diabetes $(3.45\pm0.43g/dL)$ than in non-diabetic patients $(3.64\pm0.36 g/dL)$ (p<0.05). In contrast, the concentration of serum CRP was significantly higher in type 2 diabetes $(1.42\pm1.8mg/dL)$ (p<0.05). There were significant negative-relationships between serum albumin and CRP level in both diabetic (r=-0.553, p<0.01) and non-diabetic (r=-0.579, p<0.01) patients. In diabetic patients, serum albumin level was significantly correlated with hemoglobin (r = 0.488, p < 0.01) and hematocrit (r=0.386, p < 0.01). Diabetic patients as compared to non-diabetic patients showed a significant (p < 0.01) increased serum triglyceride (TG) $(153.1\pm80.1mg/dL\;vs\;101.6\pm62.4mg/dL)$ and decreased serum HDL cholesterol $(36.89\pm13.48mg/dL\;vs\;47.00\pm14.02mg/dL,\;P<0.05)$. There were significant correlations in the intake of calorie and serum albumin levels in both diabetic (r=0.438, p< 0.05) and non-diabetic (r=0.527, p<0.05) patients. Serum CRP level was negatively correlated with calorie (r= -0.468, p < 0.05), protein (r=-0.520, p < 0.01) and fat intakes (r=-0.403, p < 0.05) in diabetic patients and calorie (r=-0.534, p<0.05) and protein intakes (r=-0.559, p<0.05) in non-diabetic patients. The prevalence of protein malnutrition and the risk factors of cardiovascular disease were significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients than in non-diabetic hemodialysis patients. Thus, we can suggest that the higher comorbidity and mortality rate in diabetic hemodialysis patients are partially explained by malnutrition and inflammation.

  • The IEA Wind agreement for co-operation in the R&D of wind energy system was founded in 1974. The Korea has been a contracting party to the IEA wind energy program since 2003. The contracting parties are designated by the 20 member countries and the EC. IEA Wind agreement is for member countries to exchange information, knowledge and to organize international collaboration on R&D projects called Taskes and Annexes. The Executive Committee approves and controls the R&D Tasks, and its meetings are held twice a year. This paper describes the status of current 7 implementing Tasks that were reported to the recent 57th Executive Committee meeting this year in Brussels, Belgium.

  • 세계적으로 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 이에 대한 국가적인 지원이 2006년에 1000억을 넘어 불과 3년 만에 그 2배인 2000억을 돌파했다. 또한 내년부터 2015년까지 민 관 합동으로 총 40조원을 신재생에너지에 투입한다고 보고되어 주위를 술렁이게 하고 있다. 우리는 신재생에너지가 더 이상 일부 국한된 기관이나 기업만의 단순 관심분야가 아닌, 세계 시장에서의 우위를 점령하기 위한 국가차원의 광대한 경쟁분야임을 다시 한번 인식해야 한다. 이러한 시점에서 국내 신재생에너지 R&D산업의 과거 발자취를 통해 미래에 나아가야 할 방향을 예측해 보는 것은 상당히 의미가 있을 것으로 생각된다. 본 고에서는 신재생에너지 분야 중 현재 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 태양광 분야에 초점을 맞추어 보았다. 그간 진행되거나 현재 진행되고 있는 R&D관련 데이터들을 수집하여 다양한 방면으로 검토해본 결과 눈에 띄는 경향을 일부 확인할 수 있었는데, 이를 통해 향후 태양광 R&D산업이 나아가야 할 방향을 예측해 보고자한다.

  • Research and development (R&D) methodology for the practical use of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) in commercial light water reactors is discussed in the present review. The identification and quantification of the R&D-metrics and the attribute of candidate ATF-concepts, recognition of the gap between the present R&D status and the targeted practical use, prioritization of the R&D, and technology screening schemes are important for achieving a common understanding on technology screening process among stakeholders in the near term and in developing an efficient R&D track toward practical use. Technology readiness levels and attribute guides are considered to be proper indices for these evaluations. In the midterm, the selected ATF-concepts will be developed toward the technology readiness level-5, at which stage the performance of the prototype fuel rods and the practicality of industrial scale fuel manufacturing will be verified and validated. Regarding the screened-out concepts, which are recognized to have attractive potentials, the fundamental R&D should be continued in the midterm to find ways of addressing showstoppers.

  • The key development issues in the flexible displays are TFT backplane technology for their various applications, which requires competitive device performance as well as its low temperature process. In this paper, with shortly reviewing recent flexible display development status, we describe technical trends of low-temperature a-Si TFTs. Our TFTs show good device characteristics enough to apply LCD and electrophoretic display.
