Government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology of Korea have contributed to the growth of the national economy and industrial development since the 1960s. However, those institutes recently have faced with criticism over the R&D performance on investment. Accordingly, we suggest two analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance of those institutes, (1) 'bottom-up' approach that aggregates the economic benefits of individual performances, e.g., technology transfer, technology support for small and medium enterprises, and the supply of researcher manpower and (2) 'top-down' one that estimates the contribution of those institutes on the economic growth of the industries that the R&D performance of those institutes is mainly utilized. In addition, by applying two approaches, we computed the economic benefit of the performance of the K institute in the 1996-2014 periods at 12.3 trillion won and 29.5 trillion won, respectively. Lastly, we suggest the feasibility of two approaches from the perspective of complementarity. Our study provides analytical approaches that estimate the economic benefit of the R&D performance from government funded research institutes in Korea. Lastly, our study contributes to the understanding of public on science and technology as well as the enhancement of legitimacy on those institutes among the public.

This paper shows a reinforcement post-processing method and feedback algorithm for improvement of assigning method in classification. Especially, we focused on complex documents that are generally considered to be hard to classify. A basis factors in traditional classification system are training methodology, classification models and features of documents. The classification problem of the documents containing shared features and multiple meanings, should be deeply mined or analyzed than general formatted data. To address the problems of these document, we proposed a method to expand classification scheme using decision boundary detected automatically in our previous studies. The assigning method that a document simply decides to the top ranked category, is a main factor that we focus on. In this paper, we propose a post-processing method and feedback algorithm to analyze the relevance of ranked list. In experiments, we applied our post-processing method and one time feedback algorithm to complex documents. The experimental results show that our system does not need to change the classification algorithm itself to improve the accuracy and flexibility.

In this paper, we suggest a novel method of selecting visual information based on bottom-up visual attention of human. We propose a new model that improve accuracy of detecting attention region by using depth information in addition to low-level spatial features such as color, lightness, orientation, form and temporal feature such as motion. Motion is important cue when we derive temporal saliency. But noise obtained during the input and computation process deteriorates accuracy of temporal saliency Our system exploited the result of psychological studies in order to remove the noise from motion information. Although typical systems get problems in determining the saliency if several salient regions are partially occluded and/or have almost equal saliency, our system is able to separate the regions with high accuracy. Spatiotemporally separated prominent regions in the first stage are prioritized using depth value one by one in the second stage. Experiment result shows that our system can describe the salient regions with higher accuracy than the previous approaches do.

This study aims to explore the present and future of agricultural extension system in Uganda. Though Uganda has used many approaches in its agricultural extension, very little has been registered in farm productivity and profitability. Too many reforms some of them some are top-down while others are bottom - up. In most cases these reforms may not be given a chance to develop to show their impact. Future success of agricultural extension and rural development efforts in Uganda will depend not only on the presence of technical expertise and availability of resources but also on each government's willingness to redefine the role of its institutions and to allow the active participation of rural people in formulating and implementing and agricultural extension and rural development programs. As result the public extension systems in Uganda needs to be demand-driven so to make it relevant and important to the beneficiary.

The top-down method for SOA delivery is recommended as a best way to take advantage of SOA. The core step of SOA delivery is the step of service modeling including service analysis and design based on ontology. Most enterprises know that the top-down approach is the best but they are hesitant to employ it because it requires them to invest a great deal of time and money without it showing any immediate results, particularly because they use well-defined component based systems. In this paper, we propose a service identification method to use a well-defined components maximally as a bottom-up approach. We assume that user's inputs generates events on a GUI and the approximate business process can be obtained from concatenating the event paths. We first find the core GUIs which have many outgoing event calls and form event paths by concatenating the event calls between the GUIs. Next, we adapt sequential pattern mining algorithms to find the maximal frequent event paths. As an experiment, we obtained business services with various granularity by applying a cohesion metric to extracted frequent event paths.

이전에 수행된 연구에서 인간의 이동 패턴은 Levy flight 행동을 보인다고 알려져있다. 그러나 우리의 경험적 지식을 바탕으로 생각해 볼 때 인간의 이동 패턴을 Levy flight 행동만 가지고 나타내기에는 한계가 있어 보인다. 인간의 이동 패턴은 주위환경, 시간, 개인의 습관, 그리고 사회적 지위 등에 따라 서로 다른 모양을 보인다. 즉, 인간 이동의 형태를 파악하기 위해서는 좀 더 다양한 정보가 있어야만 인간 이동의 패턴을 사실적으로 모델링 할 수 있다. 인간의 이동 패턴을 사실적으로 모델링하기에 필요한 정보를 얻기 위해서 상향식 방법(Bottom up)으로 우선 실제 이동 패턴을 분석하여 모델링에 필요한 정보를 추출하고 다시 그 정보를 검증하는 과정으로 모델링에 필요한 정보가 구체적으로 나타나게 될 것이다. 이에 실제 인간의 이동 패턴을 분석하기 위해 아무런 매개변수 없이 개인의 GPS 데이터를 바탕으로 위치정보만을 가지고 군집화(Clustering)를 하게 되면 특정 위치에 대한 군집이 생성된다. 이러한 군집이 나타내는 것은 자주 머무는 지역, 이동 경로 등이 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 인간의 이동 정보인 GPS 데이터를 가지고 EM 군집화를 통하여 생성된 군집을 통해 인간의 이동 패턴을 분석할 것이다.

Information retrieval system with indexing system matching single keyword is simple and popular. But with single keyword matching it is very hard to represent the exact meaning of documents and the set of documents from retrieval is very large, therefore it can't satisfy the user of the information retrieval systems. This paper proposes a phrase-based indexing system based on the phrase, the larger syntax unit than a single keyword. Web documents include lots of syntactic errors, the natural language parser with high Quality cannot be expected in Web. Partial trees, even not a full tree, from fully bottom-up parsing is still useful for extracting phrases, and they are much more discriminative than single keyword for index. It helps the information retrieval system enhance the efficiency and reduce the processing overhead.

얼굴 동작을 효과적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 얼굴 동작은 얼굴 표정, 얼굴 자세, 시선, 주름 같은 얼굴 특징이나 얼굴 행동 등으로 표출될 수 있다. 이러한 표출된 정보들은 얼굴 동작이 다양하고 명확하지 않아 연구 진행에 많은 어려움이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 얼굴 동작을 묘사하는 FACS를 기반으로 하여 시각적 관찰에 의해 주요한 얼굴 동작을 표현하고, 베이지안 네트워크를 통하여 여러 정보를 분석 융합하여 얼굴 행동을 추론 할 수 있도록 하였다. 베이지안 네트워크의 하향식 추론으로 시각 정보를 선택 할 수 있고, 관측된 현상을 토대로 상향식 추론 하여 얼굴 동작의 신뢰 전파를 통하여 분류 인식한다.

The objective of this study is to develop an efficient and accurate quadratic finite element model based on Streamline Upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SU/PG) scheme for analyzing and predicting two dimensional flow features in complex natural rivers. For a development of model, quadratic tin, quadrilateral and mixed elements as well as linear tin, quadrilateral and mixed elements were used in the model. Also, this model was developed through reinforcement of Gauss Quadrature which was necessary to integral of governing equation. Several tests for bottom-rising channel and U-type channel were performed for the purpose of validation and verification of the developed model. Such results showed that solutions of second order elements are better accurate and improved than those of linear elements. Results obtained by the developed model and RMA-2 model are compared, and the results for the developed model were better accurate than those of RMA-2 model. In the future if the developed model is applied in natural rivers, it can provide better accurate results than those of existing model.
