This study examines the most recent successful venture development practices in the United States, Israel, Germany, Finland, and China. The purpose of this study was to find out which foreign country's venture promotion policy is appropriate to korea, why foreign country's venture policy is appropriate to korea and why it is not appropriate, and to draw policy implications for domestic venture promotion and development. The research method was conducted by 50 panel of venture experts using Delphi research technique called 'expert consensus'. As a result of the Delphi research, Finland's venture promotion policy has received the highest evaluation in the usefulness, ease and suitability. Like Finland, the establishment of venture ecosystem through organic activities of private, government, industry, academia, and research was analyzed as the first priority for domestic venture policy. Analyzed. In addition, it was analyzed that the venture policy followed by the private sector under the government's strong promotion policy was no longer appropriate.

Sustainable appropriate technology requires user-centered design with consideration of the political, cultural and environmental aspects of the area. However, in the preparation of appropriate technology, there is a limit to the prior grasp of the user's intention and experience leading to the actual behavior of the user after the dissemination. As a result, appropriate technologies are often inconvenient for practical use or used for other purposes, contrary to the designer's intention. This study analyzes the case of appropriate technology with an analysis framework that reflects Maier's affordance theory, and proposes a design solution that can overcome the limitations of existing design. Affordance theory is the theory of factors that cause the user to identify and use features through interpretation based on prior knowledge and experience about things. The analysis cases in this study are the interviews with the designers, management education materials, and manager interviews for water purification systems at three of six schools in Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam, from August 2015 to January 2018. The case was attempted to be improved by periodic installation, maintenance, and inspection, but similar problems continued to occur. First, the facility inspections and manager interviews are compared with manager training materials distributed at the time of installation to find inconsistencies. Next, we analyze the designer's intended affordance and the affordances that actually influenced the management behavior. And then, we propose design solutions based on commonly found problems and affordances. This study suggests that it is necessary to apply the design considering the user's behavior before distributing the appropriate technology, and this study will be precedent in the process of finding the improvement through the analysis framework based on the affordance.

A non-electric water purification system using the Korean traditional ceramic ware Onggi, was demonstrated as an appropriate technology to solve water shortages in under developed regions. Generally, Onggi is produced using large size raw materials that are sintered at low temperature, resulting in a porous body that shows air and water permeability. An Onggi filter was prepared using a spinning wheel with the addition of rice bran to the body to increase porosity. The porosity of the obtained Onggi filter was 25.1%; the water permeability was 85.1 $L/m^2h$. Turbidity and TDS of the purified water using Onggi filter were decreased by 97.7% and 29.1%, respectively.

The chemical composition and uniaxial compressive stress are varied to observe their effect on the current-voltage characteristics of ZnO based ceramics. The variation of chemical composition produces two kinds of ceramics showing ohmic and nonohmic current-voltage characteristics. The current at a fixed voltage increased with the increase of the compressive stress for both ohmic and nonohmic ceramics. Ceramics showing nonohmic behavior exhibit better reversible return of current-voltage curve when the applied compressive stress is removed from the ceramics than those showing ohmic behavior do. We found an appropriate chemical composition showing linear relation between current and stress at a fixed voltage. The ceramic materials with an appropriate chemical composition can be used as a potential sensing material in pressure sensors.

In the Korean manufacturing industries, it becomes a common practice to carry both design activities and production planning activities concurrently. We should help product design engineers to apply environmental techniques in the design phase. General design engineers are busy enough to provide new technical features and to reduce the product cost. Professionals in the clean technology field should assist the product design engineers by providing the data basis of environmental specifications and appropriate solutions for each product group. This data basis should be easily accessible through internet or other forms appropriate for the personnel computers.

In this paper, we propose a new triangular finite element mesh generation method based on simplification of high-density mesh and adaptive Level-of-Detail (LOD) methods for efficient CAE. In our method, mesh simplification is used to control the mesh properties required for FE mesh, such as the number of triangular elements, element shape quality and size while keeping the specified approximation tolerance. Adaptive LOD methods based on vertex hierarchy according to curvature and region of interest, and global LOD method preserving density distributions are also proposed in order to construct a mesh more appropriate for CAE purpose. These methods enable efficient generation of FE meshes with properties appropriate for analysis purpose from a high-density mesh. Finally, the effectiveness of our approach is shown through evaluations of the FE meshes for practical use.

This paper is concerned with development of digital assembly cell. Automotive industries, try to find out new welding technologies to replace the existing spot welding which is not appropriate anymore. Because of many advantages like good accessibility, welding quality and fast welding speed, laser welding seems the most appropriate solution for automobile manufactures. To apply this technology to welding of car body, experiments must be conducted according to material, geometry and layer in welding area. Based on the data of these experiments, the laser welding process and the quality of stitches are identified. And then, the comparison between the requirements of welding and the potential of equipments allows selecting the best equipments. By using the digital manufacturing, the configurations of laser welding cell are carried out. After all, the optimal laser welding cell is chosen by the evaluation of alternative cells with technical and organizational criteria.

Monolayer transition metal dicalcogenide (TMDC) materials are currently attracting extensive attention due to their distinctive electronic, transport, and optical properties. For example, monolayer $MoS_2$ exhibits a direct band gap in the visible frequency range, which makes it an attractive candidate for the photocatalytic water splitting. For the photoelectrochemical water splitting, the appropriate band edge positions that overlap with the water redox potential are necessary. Similarly, appropriate band level alignments will be crucial for the light emitting diode and photovoltaic applications utlizing heterojunctions between two TMDC materials. Carrying out first-principles calculations, we here investigate how the band edges of $MoS_2$ can be adjusted by surface ligand functionalization. This study will provide useful information for the realization of ligand-based band engineering of monolayer $MoS_2$ for various electronic, energy, and bio device applications.

The explosive growth of data traffic and services has created cost challenges for networks. Studies have attempted to effectively apply network slicing in fifth generation networks to provide high speed, low latency, and various compatible services. However, in network slicing using mixed-integer linear programming, the operation count increases exponentially with the number of physical servers and virtual network functions (VNFs) to be allocated. Therefore, we propose an efficient slice allocation method based on cluster technology, comprising the following three steps: i) clustering physical servers; ii) selecting an appropriate cluster to allocate a VNF; iii) selecting an appropriate physical server for VNF allocation. Solver runtimes of the existing and proposed methods are compared, under similar settings, with respect to intra-slice isolation. The results show that solver runtime decreases, by approximately 30% on average, with an increase in the number of physical servers within the cluster in the presence of intra-slice isolation.

In remote villages without access to modern IT technology, simple devices such as smartcards can be used to carry out business transactions. These devices typically store multiple business applications from multiple vendors. Although devices must prevent malicious or accidental security breaches among the applications, a secure communication channel between two applications from different vendors is often required. In this paper, first, we propose a method of establishing secure communication channels between applications in embedded operating systems that run on multi-applet smart cards. Second, we enforce the high assurance using an intransitive noninterference security policy. Thirdly, we formalize the method through the Z language and create the formal specification of the proposed secure system. Finally, we verify its correctness using Rushby's unwinding theorem.
