Vitamin D levels have been reported to be associated with diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. There have been studies on the nutritional status of vitamin D in postmenopausal women at Seoul and premenopausal women at Busan, and these studies showed that nearly no relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the obesity index existed. However, there have been no studies that examined about the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and insulin resistance in Korea. In this study, we investigated serum vitamin D levels and the relationship between serum vitamin D levels and insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance), obesity index (body mass index, percentage of body fat and waist circumference) in 180 premenopausal women (non-obese women 87.8%, obese women 12.2%) in spring (March~April), fall (September~October) and winter (January~February) at Daejeon. Serum vitamin D levels were lower in winter than in spring-fall, after adjusting for age and the obesity index. The frequency of vitamin D inadequacy (serum vitamin D levels were $\leq$ 20 ng/mL) was 45.5% in winter and, 23.5% in spring-fall, and which showed that vitamin D inadequacy was higher in winter than in spring-fall. Multiple regression analysis showed that serum vitamin D levels had no relationship with the obesity index or insulin resistance. There was no difference in the obesity index or insulin resistance between the vitamin D inadequacy and normal group, and there was no relationship between serum vitamin D levels and the obesity index or insulin resistance in non-obese and obese premenopausal women, respectively. In conclusion, serum vitamin D levels in premenopausal women at Daejeon were lower in winter than in spring-fall, and the frequency of vitamin D inadequacy was higher in winter than in spring-fall. Serum vitamin D levels had no relationship with the obesity index or insulin resistance in premenopausal women, most of whom were not obese.

본 논문에서는 XML 데이터베이스의 타입상속 계층에 대한 색인기법으로 이차원 색인구조를 이용하는 이차원 타입상속 색인기법인 2D-THI를 제안한다. XML 스키마는 타입상속을 지원하는 XML 문서를 위한 스키마 모델 중에 하나이다. 기존의 XML 데이터베이스를 위한 색인기법은 XML 스키마상의 타입상속 계층에 대한 XML 질의를 지원하지 못한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 XML 질의의 타입상속 계층을 지원하기 위한 색인기법으로 다차원 파일구조를 이용하는 이차원 색인구조를 구성한다. 이차원 색인구조에서 한 축은 색인된 엘리먼트의 킷값 도메인으로 구성하고 다른 한 축은 타입상속 계층의 타입 식별자 도메인으로 구성한다. 이와 같은 이차원 색인구조를 이용함으로써 사용자 질의 패턴에 따라 두 도메인 사이에서 객인 엔트리들의 클러스터링 정도를 조정함으로써 질의처리의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서 제안한 2D-THI의 성능 평가를 위하여, 비용 모델을 개발하고 이를 통하여 2D-THI를 기존의 객체지향 데이터베이스에서 사용하고 있는 CH-index와 CG-tree와 같은 클래스 계층 색인기법들과 색인의 성능을 비교평가 한다. 성능평가의 결과로서, CH-index와 CG-tree에서는 특정 형태의 XML 질의의 경우에만 좋은 성능을 보인 반면, 본 논문에서 제안한 2D-THI에서는 주어진 질의 형태에 따라 최적의 질의처리 성능을 제공할 수 있음을 보인다.

This paper proposes a new image retrieval method called the 3D integrated multi-index to fuse SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) visual words with other features at the indexing level. The advantage of the 3D integrated multi-index is that it can produce finer subdivisions in the search space. Compared with the inverted indices of medium-sized codebook, the proposed method increases time slightly in preprocessing and querying. Particularly, the SIFT, contour and colour features are fused into the integrated multi-index, and the joint cooperation of complementary features significantly reduces the impact of false positive matches, so that effective image retrieval can be achieved. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets show that the 3D integrated multi-index significantly improves the retrieval accuracy. While compared with other methods, it requires an acceptable memory usage and query time. Importantly, we show that the 3D integrated multi-index is well complementary to many prior techniques, which make our method compared favorably with the state-of-the-arts.

The hyper-Zagreb index HM(G) of a simple graph G is defined as the sum of the terms (d_u+d_v)² over all edges uv of G, where d_u denotes the degree of the vertex u of G. In this paper, we present several upper and lower bounds on the hyper-Zagreb index in terms of some molecular structural parameters and relate this index to various well-known molecular descriptors.

본 연구는 1984년부터 패널자료의 확보가 가능한 17개 OECD 국가를 표본으로 하여 R&D 생산성 및 효율성에 대한 실증분석을 통해 비교하고 우리나라의 수준과 특징을 살펴보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 그 성과를 산출(output) 측면과 성과(outcome) 측면으로 구분하고, 맘퀴스트 생산성지수와 자료포락분석방법을 활용하여 R&D경로단계별 생산성 및 효율성과 그 변화추이를 비교분석하였다. 우리나라는 R&D 투자 대비 산출 생산성은 매우 높은 반면, 평균효율성은 매우 낮게 나타났으며, 효율성의 시계열 변화추이를 보면 최초 지수 0.10에서 시작하여 최종 0.83까지 가파르게 상승하면서 주요 선진국들 수준에 도달하였다. R&D 산출 대비 생산성은 매우 낮으며, 통합 프런티어에 대한 효율성은 최초 지수 1.00에서 최종 0.057까지 주요 선진국들 수준으로 가파르게 하락하여 왔다. 그리고 상관분석을 통해 R&D 산출 대비 생산성이 곧 R&D 투자 대비 생산성을 가늠하는 지표가 될 수 있음을 보았다. 본 연구는 우리나라의 R&D 생산성 및 효율성 향상을 위해서는 R&D 투자 및 산출 증대의 노력이상으로 R&D 산출물의 활용 측면이 보다 강화되어야 하고 이를 위해 효과적인 기술확산 체계 구축, 기술금융시장환경 조성 및 사업화에 성공하기까지 실질적인 인큐베이팅 제공 등 전반적인 기술사업화 시스템의 혁신이 주요 과제임을 시사하고 있다.

The aim of this study is to provide the dynamic convergence index that reflected the inherent characteristics of the convergence phenomenon and utilized the nationally-funded R&D projects data, thereby suggesting useful information about the direction of the national convergence R&D strategy. The dynamic convergence index that we suggested was made of two indicators: persistency and diversity. From a time-series perspective, the persistency index, which measures the degree of continuous convergence of multidisciplinary nationally-funded R&D projects, and the diversity index, which measures the degree of binding with heterogeneous research areas. We conducted the empirical experiment with 151,248 convergence R&D projects during the 2015~2021 time period. The results showed that convergence R&D projects in both public health and life sciences appeared the highest degree of persistency. It was presumed that the degree of persistency has increased again due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the degree of diversity has risen with combining with disciplinary such as materials, chemical engineering, and brain science areas to solve social problems including mental health, depression, and aging. This study not only provides implications for improving the concept and definition of dynamic convergence in terms of persistency and diversity for national convergence R&D strategy but also presented dynamic convergence index and analysis methods that can be practically applied for directing public R&D programs.

'Mixing Index($D_I$)'s generally used to measure the degree of mixing. A new method to calculate $D_I$ was proposed, when insoluble solution flows in micromixer. 'Vortex Index (${\Omega}_I$)'which indicate the degree of chaotic advection, is defined and formulated. A lots of arbitrary shaped microchannels were tested to calculate the $D_I$ and ${\Omega}_I$. And then a simple algebraic equation, $D_I=A{\Omega}_I+B$, was obtained. This equation may be used instead of partial differential equation, concentration equation.

Let G be a simple connected graph with n vertices and m edges, with a sequence of vertex degrees $d_1{\geq}d_2{\geq}{\cdots}{\geq}d_n$ > 0. A vertex-degree topological index, referred to as harmonic index, is defined as $H={\sum{_{i{\sim}j}}{\frac{2}{d_i+d_j}}$, where i ~ j denotes the adjacency of vertices i and j. Lower and upper bounds of the index H are obtained.

This study analyzes a relationship between Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) efficiency scores and a normalization index in order to examine the validity of DEA models. A normalization index concerned in this study is 'sales per R&D project fund' which is regarded as a crucial R&D project performance evaluation index in practice. For this correlation analysis, three distinct DEA models are selected such as DEA basic model, DEA/AR-I revised model(i.e. DEA basic model with Acceptance Region Type I constraints) and Super-Efficiency(SE) model. Especially, SE model is adopted where efficient R&D projects(i.e. Decision Making Units, DMU's) with DEA efficiency score of unity from DEA basic model can be further differentiated in ranks. Considering the non-normality and outliers, two rank correlation coefficients such as Spearman's ${\rho}_s$ and Kendall's ${\tau}_B$ are investigated in addition to Pearson's ${\gamma}$. With an up-to-date empirical massive dataset of n = 482 R&D projects associated with R&D Loan Program of Korea Information Communication Promotion Fund in the year of 2011, statistically significant (+) correlations are verified between the normalization index and every model's DEA efficiency scores with all three correlation coefficients. Especially, the congruence verified in this empirical analysis can be a useful reference for enhancing the practitioner's acceptability onto DEA efficiency scores as a real-world R&D project performance evaluation index.
