A green microalga, Chlorella vulgaris UTX 259, was cultivated in a bench-scale raceway pond. During the culture, 15%(v/v) $CO_2$ was supplied and industrial wastewater discharged from a steel-making plant was used as a culture medium. In a small scale culture bottle, the microalga grew up to 1.8 g $dm^{-3}$ of cell concentration and ammonia was completely removed from the wastewater with an yield coefficient of 25.7 g dry cell weight $g^{-1}\;NH_3-N$. During the bottle-culture, microalga was dominant over heterotrophic microorganisms in the culture medium. Therefore, the amount of carbon dioxide fixation could be estimated from the change of dry cell weight. In a semi-continuous operation of raceway pond with intermittent lighting (12 h light and 12 h dark), increase of dilution rate resulted in increase of the ammonia removal rate as well as the $CO_2$ fixation rate but the ammonia removal efficiency decreased. Ammonia was not completely removed from the medium (wastewater) of raceway pond which was operated in a batch mode under a light intensity up to 20 klux. The incomplete removal of ammonia was believed due to insufficient light supply. A mathematical model, capable of predicting experimental data, was developed in order to simulate the performance of the raceway pond under the light intensity of sun during a bright daytime. Simulation results showed that the rates of $CO_2$ fixation and ammonia removal could be enhanced by increasing light intensity. According to the simulation, 80 mg $dm^{-3}$ of ammonia in the medium could be completely removed if the light intensity was over 60 klux with a continuous lighting. Under the optimal operating condition determined by the simulation, the rates of carbon dioxide fixation and ammonia removal in the outdoor operation of raceway pond were estimated as high as $24.7 g m^{-2} day^{-1}$ and $0.52 g NH_3-N m^{-2} day^{-1}$, respectively.

This study was conducted to determine whether the water in which nitrate accumulated during long-term fish culture in an aquaponics system without water exchange could be removed and reused as catfish-culturing water. The catfish (Silurus asotus) were cultured in the urban aquaculture system using BFT (Biofloc Technology) aquaculture and an aquaponics system (two rearing tanks, 3 tons each) without exchanging the rearing water. After 151 days (from March to August) of rearing, 2.8 g of fry had grown to an average weight of 171.3 g (total weight, 56.53 kg) and 235.5 g (total weight 71.1 kg), respectively. The overall survival rate was 65% in the urban aquaculture system. However, the survival rate was 77.7% before separation into the two tanks. The survival rates after the separation were 92.9% and 78.0%. In the early biofloc watermaking process, there was a high mortality rate. After water stabilization, the mortality rate decreased and some mortality occurred during the period when the total amount of suspended solids (TSS) increased. The results of monthly blood analysis of the catfish showed that the AST concentration was significantly higher in April. Blood ALT levels and triglycerides showed no difference in the rearing period and the glucose, cholesterol, and total protein levels were significantly higher in July. There was no difference in the other periods. The plants produced by the aquaponics system using catfish-rearing water were lettuce, basil, chard, and red chicory. These showed smooth growth and a total of 148.85 kg of plants were harvested in five months. It was possible to remove nitric acid from the aquaponics system and reuse it as catfish-rearing water. Maintaining proper plant quantity according to the capacity of the catfish showed that the combination of agricultural and aquatic products was possible.

To grasp canonical correlations, their related backgrounds in various growth factors of stem, the characteristics of stem by synthetical dispersion analysis, principal component analysis and canonical correlation analysis as optimum method were applied to Larix leptolepis. The results are as follows; 1) There were high or low correlation among all factors (height ($x_1$), clear height ($x_2$), form height ($x_3$), breast height diameter (D. B. H.: $x_4$), mid diameter ($x_5$), crown diameter ($x_6$) and stem volume ($x_7$)) except normal form factor ($x_8$). Especially stem volume showed high correlation with the D.B.H., height, mid diameter (cf. table 1). 3) (1) Canonical correlation coefficients and canonical variate between stem volume and composite variate of various height growth factors ($x_1$, $x_2$ and $x_3$) are ${\gamma}_{u1,v1}=0.82980^{**}$, $\{u_1=1.00000x_7\\v_1=1.08323x_1-0.04299x_2-0.07080x_3$. (2) Those of stem volume and composite variate of various diameter growth factors ($x_4$, $x_5$ and $x_6$) are ${\gamma}_{u1,v1}=0.98198^{**}$, $\{{u_1=1.00000x_7\\v_1=0.86433x_4+0.11996x_5+0.02917x_6$. (3) And canonical correlation between stem volume and composite variate of six factors including various heights and diameters are ${\gamma}_{u1,v1}=0.98700^{**}$, $\{^u_1=1.00000x_7\\v1=0.12948x_1+0.00291x_2+0.03076x_3+0.76707x_4+0.09107x_5+0.02576x_6$. All the cases showed the high canonical correlation. Height in the case of (1), D.B.H. in that of (2), and the D.B.H, and height in that of (3) respectively make an absolute contribution to the canonical correlation. Synthetical characteristics of each qualitative growth are largely affected by each factor. Especially in the case of (3) the influence by the D.B.H. is the most significant in the above six factors (cf. table 2). 3) Canonical correlation coefficient and canonical variate between composite variate of various height growth factors and that of the various diameter factors are ${\gamma}_{u1,v1}=0.78556^{**}$, $\{u_1=1.20569x_1-0.04444x_2-0.21696x_3\\v_1=1.09571x_4-0.14076x_5+0.05285x_6$. As shown in the above facts, only height and D.B.H. affected considerably to the canonical correlation. Thus, it was revealed that the synthetical characteristics of height growth was determined by height and those of the growth in thickness by D.B.H., respectively (cf. table 2). 4) Synthetical characteristics (1st-3rd principal component) derived from eight growth factors of stem, on the basis of 85% accumulated proportion aimed, are as follows; Ist principal component ($z_1$): $Z_1=0.40192x_1+0.23693x_2+0.37047x_3+0.41745x_4+0.41629x_5+0.33454x_60.42798x_7+0.04923x_8$, 2nd principal component ($z_2$): $z_2=-0.09306x_1-0.34707x_2+0.08372x_3-0.03239x_4+0.11152x_5+0.00012x_6+0.02407x_7+0.92185x_8$, 3rd principal component ($z_3$): $Z_3=0.19832x_1+0.68210x_2+0.35824x_3-0.22522x_4-0.20876x_5-0.42373x_6-0.15055x_7+0.26562x_8$. The first principal component ($z_1$) as a "size factor" showed the high information absorption power with 63.26% (proportion), and its principal component score is determined by stem volume, D.B.H., mid diameter and height, which have considerably high factor loading. The second principal component ($z_2$) is the "shape factor" which indicates cubic similarity of the stem and its score is formed under the absolute influence of normal form factor. The third principal component ($z_3$) is the "shape factor" which shows the degree of thickness and length of stem. These three principal components have the satisfactory information absorption power with 88.36% of the accumulated percentage. variance (cf. table 3). 5) Thus the principal component and canonical correlation analyses could be applied to the field of forest measurement, judgement of site qualities, management diagnoses for the forest management and the forest products industries, and the other fields which require the assessment of synthetical characteristics.

본 연구는 두 집단지성의 가장 대표적인 서비스인 네이버 지식iN과 위키피디아의 구조적, 경험적 차이를 바탕으로 생산의 차원에서 생산 주기, 생산 참여자, 생산물의 모델을 설정하고, 새롭게 탄생하는 지식을 중심으로 검증함으로써 최종 지식 소비 행위를 반영한 각각의 종합모델을 도출하였다. 우리는 웹에서 집단지성의 일상화를 확인할 수 있다. 지식 획득 매체가 매스미디어에서 인터넷으로 변화하는 과정에서 등장한 포털 및 검색사이트는 지식의 생산이 전문가패러다임에서 소비자 중심으로 재편될 수 있는 가능성을 열어주었다. 그리고 이러한 생산 방식의 변화는 '지식'의 개념 역시 변화시키고 있다. 즉, 집단지성이라는 새로운 웹2.0의 현상이 지식생산방식을 변화시키고 변화된 지식생산방식은 '지식'자체를 변화시킨다는 이론적 가설을 도출할 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구는 이러한 새로운 현상들을 분석하기 위해서는 먼저 보다 엄밀하게 집단지성의 개념을 규정할 필요성에 출발하였다. 현재 집단지성이라는 이름으로 불리면서 급격히 성장하고 있는 위키 방식의 인터넷 서비스와 지식검색 방식의 인터넷 서비스를 비교함으로써 보다 정교한 집단지성의 모델을 구축하고자 하였다. 위키형 집단지성과 지식검색형 집단지성의 차이점은 경험적으로도 뚜렷하게 확인할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 경험적 차이와 기존의 문헌에서 밝혀진 사실들을 바탕으로 두 서비스의 지식생산 방식을 생산플로우, 생산참여자 성향, 생산물(지식)의 성향과 같이 세 영역으로 나누어 각각의 가설 모델을 설정하고 이 모델을 선정된 질의어를 바탕으로 검증한 뒤에 최종적인 모델을 도출하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 지식검색형 집단지성은 '질문-답변-채택'의 구조이고, 그 구조 속에서 '질문기-답변기-순서화기'를 거쳐 하나의 지식 덩어리인 'K-let'을 생산한다. 생산된 'K-let'들은 지식검색서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적되고, 이는 공통된 질의어를 기준으로 소비자들에 의해서 검색되어 소비된다. 하나의 질문에 대해 여러 개의 답변들이 존재하고, 답변자의 성향은 크게 전문성과 체계성을 바탕으로 한 전문가형 답변자와 경험적이고 의견지향적인 대화형 답변자로 나눠진다. 다수의 네티즌들의 참여에 의해서 지식의 생산이 진행되므로 질문의 성향 역시 사실, 의견, 경험 등 다양한 스펙트럼을 가지는 모델로 설정하였다. 반면에 위키형 집단지성은 개방형 플랫폼을 바탕으로 한 백과사전의 형식이며, 이러한 형식 속에서 최초의 개념어 등록과 다수의 편집활동을 거치면서 완성되지 않는 하나의 아티클인 'W-let'을 생산한다. 이러한 'W-let'은 생성 초기에 소수에 의한 활발한 내용 입력 활동으로 어느 정도의 안정화를 거친 후에는 꾸준한 다수의 수정활동을 통해서 'W-let'의 생명력을 유지함으로써 지식의 실제적인 변화를 반영한다. 생산된 'W-let'들은 위키형 집단지성 서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적되고, 이것들은 내부링크를 통해서 모두 연결되어 있다. 백과사전 형식으로 하나의 개념어를 설명하는 하나의 아티클은 오로지 사실적인 지식들로만 구성되나 내부링크와 외부링크를 통해서 다양한 스펙트럼을 가지는 모델로 설정하였다. 위와 같이 설정된 모델을 바탕으로 공통된 질의어 및 개념어를 선정하여 각각의 서비스에 노출시켰다. 이를 통해서 얻어진 각 서비스의 데이터베이스에 축적된 모든 데이터들 중에서 일정한 기간을 기준으로 각각의 모델 검증에 필요한 데이터를 추출하여 분석하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 그 결과 지식검색형 집단지성에서는 '질문-답변-채택'의 생산 구조 속에 다수가 참여하여 질문-채택답변-기타답변으로 배열되어 있는 완성된 형태의 K-let들을 지속적으로 생산하며 비슷한 성향을 가진 K-let들이 반복적으로 생산되어 지식검색 데이터베이스에 누적된다. 지식 소비자들은 질의어 검색을 통해서 다양한 K-let들을 선택하여 비교, 검토한 후에 선택된 K-let들의 배열은 해체되어 소비자들에 의해서 재배열됨을 발견할 수 있었다. 이에 지식검색형 집단지성이란 다수의 의해서 생산되고 누적된 지식들이 소비자의 검색과 선택에 의해 해체되어 재배열되는 지식의 맞춤화 과정이라고 정의내릴 수 있었다. 반면에 위키형 집단지성에서는 '내용입력-미세수정' 구조 속에서 생명력 있는 W-let을 생성한다. W-let은 백과사전처럼 정리되어 내부링크를 통해서 서로 연결되고, 외부링크를 통해 확장되고, 지식소비자들은 검색을 통해 최초의 W-let에 도달한 후에 링크를 선택함으로써 지식을 확장시킴을 검증할 수 있었다. 따라서 위키형 집단지성이란 다수의 의해서 생산되고 정리된 지식들이 소비자의 검색과 링크에 의해 무한히 확장되는 지식의 확대 재생산되는 과정이라고 정의 내릴 수 있다. 결국, 현재의 집단지성이란 지식이 다수의 참여로 생산됨으로써 개인에게 맞춤화되고, 끊임없이 확대 재생산되는 과정을 의미한다. 그리고 이러한 집단지성의 방식은 지식이라는 현재의 차원을 넘어서 정치, 경제를 비롯한 사회의 전 영역으로 점차적으로 확대되어갈 것이다. 앞으로 연구들은 두 가지 모델이 혼재되어 있는 현재의 집단지성이 어떠한 새로운 모델을 만들면서 다른 영역으로 확장되어갈 것인지에 대해서 초점을 맞춰 나가야할 것이다.

Purpose : Recently the merits of 6 weeks of initial prednisolone treatment for pediatric primary nephrotic syndrome have been reported, and the use of the 6 week regimen is increasing. We compared our experiences with the 6 week treatment versus the 4 week treatment for Korean patients. Methods : We conducted a retrospective analysis of 69 children who had primary nephrotic syndrome and who were followed up for at least 12 months in the 4 major medical centers in Daegu. The remission rate, the relapse rate, the frequency of relapse and complication of steroid treatment were compared between the 4 weeks and 6 weeks treatment group. Results : Of the 69 children, 42 were in the 4 week treatment group and 27 were in the 6 week group. The median age, blood pressure, serum total protein, serum albumin, cholesterol, creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, 24 hour urine protein and 12 month cumulative dose did not differ between the two groups. Among the children who relapsed after steroid treatment, the relapse time was significantly later for the 6 week treatment group. The relapse rate after 1 year of treatment was 62$\%$ in the 4 week treatment group and 52$\%$ in the 6 week treatment group; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. The frequency of relapse at 12 months was $1.5{\pm}1.2$ times in the 4 week treatment group and $1.1{\pm}1.2$ times in the 6 week treatment group, and there was not different between the two groups. The most common side effects of steroid treatment were an increase of appetite and a cushingoid appearance, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups. Among the 27 children who had kidney biopsies performed, 21 suffered from minimal change nephrotic syndrome. Conclusion : The first relapse time after steroid treatment was significantly later in the 6 week steroid treatment group. The frequency of relapse and the 12 month cumulative dose of steroid were lower in the 6 week treatment group, but there was no statistical significance between the two groups. The side effects of steroid treatment did not differ between the two groups. We need to study the long term side effects and the advanced regimens of steroid treatment in the future.(J Korea Soc Pediatr Nephrol 2005;9:159-166)

Sometimes called the Silicon Fen, the Cambridge cluster is well known as the most innovative hi-tech cluster in the world. This paper attempts to explore the evolutionary dynamics of the Cambridge cluster, drawing upon the triple-helix approach. To understand the evolutionary dynamics of the Cambridge cluster, it is important to examine the role and impact of the University of Cambridge, which is conceived as one of the best higher educational institutions in the world. The Cambridge cluster has been evolved on the basis of a strong university-industry relationship. University spin-outs have a long tradition in Cambridge with the history of more than a century, and they have played a critical role in making the cluster more innovative. Business networks and social capital molded for a long time in the region become a foundation for active local spin-out activities. However, since 2000 the central government started steadily to require British universities to be an entrepreneurial university, with the purpose of the reduction of university subsidies. As a result of this, spin-out activities in the Cambridge cluster show a sharp decline, which is a factor of threatening the dynamic evolution of the cluster.

This study analyzed the differences of mean basin precipitation between TM and radar based on the 51 standard basins in Han river and Nakdong river when large scale of heavy rains occurred in 2018. The result shows that the differences between radar and TM are -65.05 ~ 26.09% and -82.00 ~ 3.80% for accumulated and 10 min. maximum mean basin precipitation, respectively. The correlation analysis between the differences of estimated mean basin precipitation and basin characteristics such as average altitude of basin, area of basin, and shape factor of basin presents that there is no clear correlation between them. And the differences of point precipitation also shows the similar tendency with those of mean basin precipitation. In order to find out the correlation between them and meteorological conditions such as rainfall patterns, the reflectivity of radars according to the observation angles is analyzed at the selected basins, and then it is found that the differences of mean basin precipitation between TM and radar is more dominated by the meteorological conditions than by the topographic conditions such as basin characteristics.

This study attempted to clarify (1) the meaning of 'people's livelihood (Minsaeng, 民生)' conveyed by the newspapers in Korean society and the specific matter it refers to, and (2) consider the discourse formed by the newspapers and what does and does not change in that discourse over the passage of time. Editorials were classified and analyzed based on the framework of Fairclough's critical discourse analysis(CDA). It was clear, from the political perspective, that the discourse was respectively formed and changed for each administration. The discourse on 'people's livelihood' was critical and at the same time generally negative, because it dealt with the important social incidents or controversies of the time. The discourse on 'people's livelihood' related to the massive social streams of Korea's democratization and globalization process. Whereas the discourse on 'people's livelihood' in the 1990s, seen from an economic perspective, tried to resolve labor strikes, inflation rate, housing problem, and financial crisis. The discourse in the 2000s changed to issues ranging from economic growth and distribution to bi-polarization problem, job creation, abolishment of non-regular employments, etc. The meaning of 'people's livelihood' produced in the editorials of the major daily newspapers is different from the word's dictionary definition as 'the people's lives'.

Despite many previous studies on catch-up, understanding on the effect of product architecture developed by latecomers on the catch-up performance remains limited. On the other hands, in contrast to the semiconductor, ship building, and automotive industry, even if Korean industry and government have invested the development of numerical controllers for machine tools in the past four decades, the industry and government have failed to achieve catch-up. Therefore, we newly examine the effect of product architecture on the catch-up performance of the Korea by implementing comparative research with periods on the evolution of product architecture of Fanuc's numerical controllers, which have achieved the largest market share in the world. We found that Fanuc developed open modular architecture based numerical controllers and provided product with customization of user requirements as well as cost effectiveness. Consequently, Fanuc has sustained market leader position since the mid-1980s. However, despite all the efforts of the industry and government, we found that the Korea failed to develop open modular architecture based numerical controllers and could not achieve significant catch-up performance. Our findings provide important theoretical backgrounds for examining the catch-up performance as well as investigating the reason why latecomers failed to achieve market catch-up even if they accomplished technological catch-up.

The goal of this paper was to understand the skill-up experiences of ex-participants of the customized training program in Technical High Schools for Small and Medium Business during first 2 years in Company through qualitative interviews with 3 purposefully selected ex-participants. Their core skill-up experience in this period was assumed as the shift from' dependent worker' to 'independent worker' on the base of literature review. The results of this study were following : 1. The small and medium companies offered a few formal training for newcomers, production-site orientation through short job rotation, linking them with skilled workers and job manuals or job standards. 2. Authentic skill-up experiences were combined with a structured reprimand, peer learning, deep learning through reflection on one's own experiences. 3. There were a few handicap conditions that disturbed their skill-up activities: the skilled worker don't open their skill toward new corner; the ex-participants in company had no time to learn anything meaningful to up-grade their competency.
