Science and technology diplomacy has become an important policy agenda because of its diplomatic utility and enhancing of international science networks. However, different countries possess different objectives and governance of S&T diplomacy. In this context, this paper seeks to answer the following questions: what are the similarities and differences of S&T diplomacy in countries and what shapes these characteristics? To answer these questions, this paper conducts a comparative case study with five countries - Switzerland, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States - whose S&T diplomatic programs are highly recognized and benchmarked by other countries. A useful typology is devised to conduct a systematic comparison. For S&T diplomatic objectives, this paper suggests five types by elaborating concepts from the previous literature: access diplomacy, promotion diplomacy, public aid diplomacy, functional diplomacy, and global leadership diplomacy. Also, in terms of a governance model for S&T diplomacy, three models - a sciencecentered model, a science-outsourcing model and a top-down coordinating model - are suggested based on leadership organization. This paper reveals the different characteristics of the selected countries in S&T diplomacy. While the selected countries pursue almost every type of S&T diplomatic objective, the US and the UK tend to conduct influence-based diplomacy more than other countries do. In addition, different countries each have unique governance models for S&T diplomacy. While more research is necessary for vigorously testing the causes of different objectives and their relationship with governance models, this paper suggests more general policy implications throughout. The strength of the country's S&T base is fundamentally important for the success of S&T diplomacy. However, domestic S&T assets need to be transferred to its diplomatic capabilities. In this sense, the appropriate governance that fits best with the country's S&T mission should be established, while S&T communities should increasingly play a leadership role in evolving global S&T networks.

Let C(Q) denote Yeh-Wiener space, the space of all real-valued continuous functions x(s, t) on Q ≡ [0, S] × [0, T] with x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. For each partition τ = τ_m,n = {(s_i, t_j)|i = 1, . . . , m, j = 1, . . . , n} of Q with 0 = s₀ < s₁ < . . . < s_m = S and 0 = t₀ < t₁ < . . . < t_n = T, define a random vector X_τ : C(Q) → ℝ^mn by X_τ (x) = (x(s₁, t₁), . . . , x(s_m, t_n)). In this paper we study the conditional integral transform and the conditional convolution product for a class of cylinder type functionals defined on K(Q) with a given conditioning function X_τ above, where K(Q)is the space of all complex valued continuous functions of two variables on Q which satify x(s, 0) = x(0, t) = 0 for every (s, t) ∈ Q. In particular we derive a useful equation which allows to calculate the conditional integral transform of the conditional convolution product without ever actually calculating convolution product or conditional convolution product.

The parabolic free boundary problem with Puschino dynamics is given by (see in [3]) $$ (1) { \upsilon_t = D\upsilon_{xx} - (c_1 + b)\upsilon + c_1 H(x - s(t)) for (x,t) \in \Omega^- \cup \Omega^+, { \upsilon_x(0,t) = 0 = \upsilon_x(1,t) for t > 0, { \upsilon(x,0) = \upsilon_0(x) for 0 \leq x \leq 1, { \tau\frac{dt}{ds} = C)\upsilon(s(t),t)) for t > 0, { s(0) = s_0, 0 < s_0 < 1, $$ where $\upsilon(x,t)$ and $\upsilon_x(x,t)$ are assumed continuous in $\Omega = (0,1) \times (0, \infty)$.

We show the boundedness and uniform Lipschitz stability for the solutions to the functional perturbed differential system $$y^{\prime}=f(t,y)+{\normalsize\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}{\int\nolimits_{t_0}}^t}g(s,y(s),\;T_1y(s))ds+h(t,y(t),\;T_2y(t))$$, under perturbations. We impose conditions on the perturbed part ${\int_{t_0}^{t}}g(s,y(s)$, $T_1y(s))ds$, $h(t,y(t)$, $T_2y(t))$, and on the fundamental matrix of the unperturbed system y' = f(t, y) using the notion of h-stability.

This paper shows that the solutions to nonlinear perturbed differential system $$y^{\prime}= f(t,y)+{\int_{t_{0}}^{t}g(s,y(s))ds+h(t,y(t),Ty(t))$$ have bounded properties. To show the bounded properties, we impose conditions on the perturbed part ${\int_{t_{0}}^{t}g(s,y(s))ds,\;h(t, y(t),\;Ty(t))$, and on the fundamental matrix of the unperturbed system y' = f(t, y) using the notion of h-stability.

Changes in luteinizing hormone (LH), serum testosterone (T), and salivary T levels with age were examined in Korean men. Serum was obtained from 167 Korean men of different ages ($20{\sim}69\;y$), and the serum LH and T levels were measured. Saliva samples were also obtained, and the salivary T level was determined. The LH levels did not change considerably until 40 y of age (20s, $2.5{\pm}1.0$; 30s, $2.7{\pm}1.5$; and 40s, $2.5{\pm}1.8\;mIU/mL$) but increased significantly around 50 y (50s, $3.7{\pm}1.8$ and 60s, $3.1{\pm}1.7\;mIU/mL$). Further, the serum T levels also did not change until 40 y of age (20s, $5.3{\pm}2.6$, 30s, $4.4{\pm}1.4$, 40s, $4.1{\pm}1.5\;ng/mL$) but decreased significantly at 50 y (50s, $3.4{\pm}1.5$; 60s, $2.6{\pm}0.8\;ng/mL$). The salivary T levels also showed small changes until the age of 40 y ($20s{\sim}40s$, $0.11{\pm}0.015\;ng/mL$) but decreased significantly at 50 y ($0.08{\pm}0.03\;ng/mL$). Thus, the relative ratio of salivary T to serum T levels did not change significantly in all the ages examined ($2.4{\pm}0.9%$). Linear regression analysis predicted that the LH levels increased 1.5%/y while the serum and salivary T levels decreased 1%/y and 0.8%/y, respectively. The serum T/LH ratio did not change considerably until the age of 40 y ($20s{\sim}40s$, $2.27{\pm}0.14$) but decreased significantly ($1.2{\pm}1.0$) at 50 y. Age-related changes in the salivary T/LH ratio were very similar to those in the serum T/LH ratio. These results demonstrated that LH and T levels in serum or saliva did not change considerably until 40 y of age; instead, in Korean men, from 50 y of age, the LH level increased, while the T level decreased. This suggests that primary testicular failure that occurred due to aging (approximately 50 y) and caused this phenomenon. The present study also shows that the salivary T level can be an indicator of the free T level in serum although the salivary T level correlates weakly with the total T level in serum (r=0.53). Thus, information regarding salivary T levels may be useful for studying the age-related changes occurring in male testicular physiology.

In this paper, we show that the solutions to perturbed functional differential system $$y^{\prime}=f(t,y)+{\int_{t_0}^{t}}g(s,y(s),Ty(s))ds$$, have a bounded properties. To show the bounded properties, we impose conditions on the perturbed part ${\int_{t_0}^{t}}g(s,y(s),Ty(s))ds$ and on the fundamental matrix of the unperturbed system y' = f(t, y) using the notion of $t_{\infty}$-similarity.
