우리나라는 과거부터 현재까지 미래 성장동력 육성을 목표로 정부주도하에 국가 R&D 투자를 점진적으로 늘려왔다. 그 결과, 최근에는 GDP 대비 연구개발비 비중이 세계 최고 수준에 이르렀다. 이렇게 연구개발 예산의 양적인 확대와 함께 연구개발 예산의 효율적 활용은 더욱 중요한 과학기술 분야의 정책적 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 연구개발 예산의 효율적인 집행을 위해서는 R&D 사업의 유사 중복성의 검토가 필수적이지만, 대부분의 유사 중복성 검토는 전문가의 직관적인 판단에 근거하여 이루어져왔다. 하지만, 전문가의 직관에만 의지한 판단은 때로는 불명확하거나 잘못된 결과를 가져올 수도 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 네트워크 분석을 통해 정부 R&D 사업의 유사 중복성을 체계적으로 검토하기 위한 데이터기반의 방법론을 제안하여 전문가의 직관에 의한 유사 중복성 검토를 보완할 수 있는 가능성을 모색하고자 한다. 먼저, 본 연구에서는 정부 R&D사업 유사영역의 전체적인 구조 및 형태와 국가과학기술연구회 소속 25개 정부출연연구기관 R&D사업의 유사영역의 전반적인 형태를 시각화하여 유사영역을 파악하고 직관적인 판단과 선택을 할 수 있는 의사결정 정보를 제공하는데 초점을 두었다. 이를 위해, NTIS의 2015년 데이터를 사용하여 과제 키워드 기반으로 동시단어출현 분석을 수행하였다. 본 분석을 통해 25개 기관의 세부적인 유사연구영역 형태를 제시하였으며, 국내의 과학기술정책적 또는 과학기술학적인 현상들을 시각화하였다. 그 결과, 국내 출연연 R&D사업이 기관별 고유영역이 확고히 보이는 Mode 1적인 형태와 사회경제적인 맥락과 필요 및 유망성을 따르고, 다학제적, 적용중심적이며 과제별로 다양한 과제수행기관들이 과제들을 동시에 수행하는 Mode 2적인 형태가 출연연의 R&D사업 내에 공존하고 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a mode transition method that applies frequency compensation technique of an LLC resonant converter for stable mode transition. LLC resonant converters used in various applications require high efficiency and high power density. However, because of circuit property, a wider voltage gain range equates to a greater circuit loss, so maintaining high efficiency at all voltage gain ranges is difficult. In this case, full bridge-half bridge mode transition method can be used, which maintains high efficiency even in a wide voltage gain range. However, this method causes damage to the circuit through overcurrent by the mode transition. This study analyzes the cause of the problem and proposes a mode transition method that applies frequency compensation technique to solve the problem. The proposed method verifies the stable transition through simulation analysis and experimental results.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the potential of interactance mode of NIR spectroscopy technology for the estimation of soluble solids content (SSC) and firmness of muskmelons. Methods: Melon samples were taken from local greenhouses in three different harvesting seasons (experiments 1, 2, and 3). The fruit attributes were measured at the 6 points on an equator of each sample where the spectral data were collected. The prediction models were developed using the original spectral data and the spectral data sets preprocessed by 20 methods. The performance of the models was compared. Results: In the prediction of SSC, the highest coefficient of determination ($R_{cv}{^2}$) values of the cross-validation was 0.755 (standard error of prediction, SEP=$0.89^{\circ}Brix$) with the preprocessing of normalization with range in experiment 1. The highest coefficient of determination in the robustness tests, $R_{rt}{^2}$=0.650 (SEP=$1.03^{\circ}Brix$), was found when the best model of experiment 3 was evaluated with the data set of experiment 2. The best $R_{cv}{^2}$ for the prediction of firmness was 0.715 (SEP=3.63 N) when no preprocessing was applied in experiment 1. The highest $R_{rt}{^2}$ was 0.404 (SEP=5.30 N) when the best model of experiment 3 was applied to the data set of experiment 1. Conclusions: From the test results, it can be concluded that the interactance mode of VIS/NIR spectroscopy technology has a great potential to measure SSC and firmness of thick-skinned muskmelons.

Background : This study was conducted to compare the level of satisfaction between mothers who were educated on the care of newborns by video-taped method and those by verbal one before discharge. Methods : Fifty-two mother (verbal method group) from a free standing OB & GY hospital in Wonju City and forty-seven mothers (videotaped method group) from the OB & GY section of Wonju Christian Hospital(WCH) were selected for a study sample. The knowledge and understanding of newborn care and the degree of maternal satisfaction were assessed after the education by self-administered questionnaires. The opinions of the 11 nurses of WCH who were involved in the education were also collected by a questionnaire. Results : With respect of the level of understanding and satisfaction with the discharge education on newborn care, there is no significant difference between the videotaped educated group and verbal educated one. The correlation analysis of the video education group revealed a strong correlation between the score of understanding and satisfaction with the discharge preparation(r=0.409, p=0.01), and between the satisfaction scores for discharge preparation and discharge education(r=0.844, p=0.001). As for the verbal education group, the score of understanding also correlated significantly with both the score of satisfaction with the discharge education(r=0.272, p=0.001) and the discharge preparation(r=.680, p=0.001). Conclusions : This study showed that the discharge education to mothers regarding newborn care by a videotaped method does not improve the understanding or satisfaction of the mothers. However, the response to the mode of discharge education varies by the characteristics of the mothers. In conclusion, the characteristics of the mother should be considered in order to improve the understanding and knowledge of newborn care when the mode discharge education is chosen.

We propose a novel active fiber design for selectively generating cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) or cylindrical vector modes (CVMs) which can be applied to conventional fiber lasers. A fiber is designed to have a ring-shaped core refractive index profile which can lead to the best overlap between the active dopant distribution profile and the lowest-order CVM (LCVM) field profile. Therefore, the overlap factor (OVF) of the LCVM becomes even higher than that of the fundamental mode. We emphasize that this condition cannot be satisfied by a conventional step-index core fiber (SICF) but by the ring-doped core fiber (RDCF). Because the lasing threshold is inversely proportional to the OVF, the LCVM can predominantly be stimulated even without going through special procedures to impose extra loss mechanisms to the fundamental mode. We numerically verify that the OVF of the LCVM with the doped ions can significantly exceed that of the fundamental mode if the proposed fiber design is applied. In addition, an RDCF of the proposed fiber design can also operate in a regime containing no higher-order modes besides the LCVM, so that it can selectively and efficiently generate the LCVM without being disrupted by the parasitic lasing of the higher-order modes. We highlight that an optimized RDCF can lead to a >30 % higher OVF ratio than a SICF having the same doped area. The proposed model is expected to be useful for enhancing the efficiency of generating CVBs in an all-fiber format.

In this paper, when a refractive index grating and a gain grating are simultaneously present in a DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser for a 1.55 um wavelength with two mirror surfaces without an anti-reflective coating, an analysis program was developed to determine the beam distribution of the oscillation mode in the longitudinal direction. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the mirror faces are varied, the lasing gain and the beam profiles |R(z)| and |S(z)| of the lasing mode with the emitted power ratio P_l/P_r are analyzed and examined in case of δL<0. In order to reduce the threshold current of a oscillation mode and enhance the frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phase values at the mirror surface.

The aim of this study is to investigate the cooling performance of ground source multi-heat pump systems with a vertical single U-tube GLHX(U-tube system) and a vertical double tube GLHX(double tube system), which were installed in a school building located in Cheonan. All systems were operated in a part load conditions for all day, and the maximum COP of the single U-tube system and the double tube system were 6.2 and 5.2 at cooling mode, respectively. The double tube GLHX designed by the GLHEPRO, commercial program, was estimated to have the same performance as the U-tube GLHX, because the inlet temperatures of each outdoor unit heat exchanger for the former was similar to the latter. However, it is needed to prove the long tenn performance. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for GLHX according to load variation have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system.

Recently, small and medium-sized buildings have employed a multi-heat pump. The major benefits of the multi-heat pump over a conventional system are that it is easier system to maintain along with a diversification of facility use, and high comfortability. The performance of multi-heat pump systems can be enhanced by using geothermal energy instead of air source energy. This paper describes the multi-heat pumps applied in an ground source heat pump system for an actual building. The performance of a ground source multi-heat pump installed in the field was investigated in cooling mode. The maximum COP of the systems with single U-tube and double tube ground loop heat exchangers were 6.6 and 6.0, respectively. It is suggested that the new algorithms to control the flow rate of secondary fluid for ground loop heat exchanger have to be developed in order to enhance the performance of the system.

In this paper, when a refractive index grating and a gain grating were simultaneously present in a DFB laser having a wavelength of 1.55 ㎛, a dielectric film coating was applied so that reflection did not occur on the right mirror surface, so that 𝜌_r=0. In case of δL > 0, the threshold gain and the beam distribution in the longitudinal direction and the radiated power ratio P_l/P_r of the oscillation mode were compared for the cases of the phase of 𝜌_l=π and π/2. If the phase of 𝜌_l=π, in order to obtain a low threshold current and high frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8. In the case of the phase of 𝜌_l= π/2, when κL is larger than 4.0, the oscillation gain starts to be lower than when the phase of 𝜌_l=π. In order to lower the threshold current of a oscillation mode and enhance the frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8.

Lasers for optical broadband communication systems should have excellent frequency selectivity and modal stability. DFB lasers have low lasing frequency shift during high speed current modulation. In this paper, we have developed a simulation software and analysed beam profiles of a lasing mode in longitudinal direction of an 1.55um DFB laser with two mirrors and without anti-reflection coatings, that have both an index- and gain-gratings. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the mirror faces are varied, the beam profiles |R(z)| and |S(z)| of the lasing mode with the emitted power ratio P_l/p_r are analysed and examined. In order to reduce the threshold current of a lasing mode and enhance the frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phases on the mirror faces.
