Science and technology information resources are major impetus for all research and development activities. Now countries around the world are seeking efficient and effective means to cope with the exponential growth of needs for science and technology information for research. In this context, it has been perceived vital to establish national infrastructures in order to extend the availability of world's science and technology information. In Korea, it has been a recurring issue to build a national science library to prevent knowledge colonization and to gain a competitive edge in the fields. It is essential to have one as a national information infrastructure to assume the role of developing a sustainable model for access to the world's science and technology information, providing permanent access to them. In this paper, therefore, some issues concerning building and managing a new national science library in Korea are examined. In doing so, the following details are dealt with in detail. First, the rationale behind building a national science library is described, Second, the functions and roles of the library are defined, Third, previous discussions and attempts to build a national science library are reviewed and analysed. Finally, possible problems and issues raised in relation to build a national science library are probed, and future directions are also suggested. In this process, the recent strategic plan for national science library, national agriculture library, and national medical library, and changing plan for Sejong city are taken into consideration as influencing factors.

경제자유화(經濟自由化)와 규제완화(規制緩和)라는 세계적인 흐름과 함께 우리나라도 1992년 이후 자본시장(資本市場)을 점진적으로 개방(開放)하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우선 몇몇 핵심 거시경제변수(巨視經濟變數)들의 상관관계(相關關係)가 자본거래의 자유화와 더불어 어떻게 변화할 것인가에 대한 이론적(理論的)인 배경(背景)을 설명하고 있다. 여기에서는 무엇보다도 자본자유화(資本自由化)와 더불어 나타나게 되는 실질환율체상(實質換率切上)및 경상수지적자(經常收支赤字)의 의미를 합리적인 경제주체들이 자원(資源)을 보다 효율적(效率的)으로 배분(配分)하고자 하는 노력의 결과로 나타나는 현상으로 파악하고 있다. 즉 자본시장의 개방은 상대적으로 높은 국내의 자본생산성 및 실질이자율을 향한 해외자본의 유입(자본수지(資本收支)의 흑자(黑字))을 초래하며, 대외부문의 항등식을 고려하는 한 이는 경상수지(經常收支)의 적자(赤字)로 연결된다. 또한 본 연구에서는 신고전파적(新古典派的) 장기모형(長期模型)과 케인즈적(的) 단기모형(短期模型)에 기초한 거시경제 모형을 구성하고 자본자유화(資本自由化)의 속도(速度), 환율(換率)및 통화정책(通貨政策)의 변화에 따른 거시경제의 동태적(動態的) 시간경로(時間經路)를 계량화하고자 노력하였다. 예를 들어 경상수지적자(經常收支赤字)의 폭은 자본자유화의 추진속도 및 거시정책에 의존할 것이나, 예상하지 못한 큰 충격이 도래하지 않는 경우 향후 2~3년간 GDP 대비 3% 내외에 이를 것으로 추정되며, 그 이후에는 실질이자율의 하락과 함께 적자폭도 축소될 것으로 나타나고 있다. 그리고 실질환율(實質換率)의 시간경로는 자본유입과 함께 지속적으로 절상될 수는 없으며 개방초기의 절상에 이어 점차 절하되는 추세에 놓이게 될 것이다. 자본시장의 개방에 따른 경상수지의 적자는 국내의 (실물)자본축적을 보다 용이하게 함으로써 실질이자율(實質利子率)을 하락(下落)시킬 것으로 기대되나 그 효과는 연 0.2%포인트 이내에 머무를 것으로 추정되었다. 아울러 자본자유화의 초기단계에 발생할 환율절상은 수출의 가격경쟁력을 약화시켜 단기적(短期的)으로 경기침체(景氣沈滯)를 유발할 수 있으나 중장기적(中長期的)으로 성장잠재력(成長潛在力)을 확충시킨다.

With rapid development of Internet technology, business management in an organization or an enterprise depends on Internet-based technology for the most part. Furthermore, as dependency and cohesiveness of network in the communication facilities are increasing, cyber attacks have been increased against vulnerable resource in the information system. Hence, to protect private information and computer resource, research for damage propagation is required in this situation. However the proposed traditional models present just mechanism for risk management, or are able to be applied to the specified threats such as virus or worm. Therefore, we propose the probabilistic model of damage propagation based on the Markov process, which can be applied to diverse threats in the information systems. Using the proposed model in this paper, we can predict the occurrence probability and occurrence frequency for each threats in the entire system.

In this study, we examined distribution channel relationship by using the idea of Cheong, which is a unique feeling an positive role in Korean society. Companies make great efforts to maintain long-term relationship with buyers. Understanding distinctive relationship system of each culture should precede these efforts to bring effective results. So we considered how Cheong, a meaningful factor in Korean distribution channel, affects relationship quality and performance. As a result of research analysis from 272 survey questionnaires of retailers, engaging in Crops Protected Material industry in Korea, supplier's idiosyncratic investment, retailer's Cheong, and dependence of retailers on suppliers have positive effects on relationship quality. Supplier's idiosyncratic investment and cognitive factors have the highest influence and Cheong, an emotional factor, follows. Dependence, a motivational factor has the least influence. We confirmed that retailer's cooperation and long-term orientation are directly influenced by retailer's commitment. Active cooperation of the retailer, a partner of a distribution channel, is regarded as an essential factor for supplier's effective business. Retailer's commitment increased that cooperation. Retailer's trust and commitment also decreased relationship conflicts. The results of this study imply that companies should increase idiosyncratic investment to improve relationship quality. But increasing idiosyncratic investment is limited because it requires monetary investment. Therefore companies need to recognize the importance of Cheong, revealed as a new factor, improving relationship quality and to make the best use of it. In this study, we contributed theoretically by examining the role of Cheong, and introducing its distribution discipline. We also make practical suggestions about supplier's relationship management.

Purpose - This study aims to seek determinants of department store sales commission rates under consignment contracts based on transaction cost theory, the power-dependence view, and the resource-based view. A consignment contract is a unique contract where the retailer, over a given period, takes possession of goods owned by a supplier, promotes the sales of these goods, and receives a profit share from their sales. Under this contract, the supplier owns the goods until they are sold. In department stores in South Korea, over 70% of overall sales comes through consignment contracts. In other words, this is the most popular contract agreement between large retailers and vendors in South Korea. Consignment contracts yield high profits to department stores with minimal sales uncertainty, stock cost, and marketing investment. Many suppliers believe the consignment contract commission rates are too high. However, department stores disagree. They state that the commissions are not high as they generate new value for the suppliers by accumulating up-to-date merchandise and supporting various marketing programs on their behalf. Recently, consignment contracts have been critically examined and scrutinized by politicians, mass media, and the public of Korea. This study further intends to derive implications reflecting both buyer and seller perspectives as well as offer insights to policy makers in making appropriate decisions. Research design, data, and methodology - To verify the proposed research model and test hypotheses, the authors selected 164 suppliers, which currently have relationships with department stores. This study carefully investigated the reliability, content validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the proposed model. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and AMOS structural equation modeling program Results - For the transaction cost theory and the power-dependence view, the results indicated that product diversity and demand volatility had a positive impact on the sales dependence on a department store. Dependence in turn had a positive effect on the sales commission under the consignment contract. Based on the resource-based view, the department store's marketing capability, the supplier's perception toward merchandising, and supporting activities could enhance the department store's channel leadership in the buyer-seller relationship. Subsequently, the channel leadership had a positive effect on the sales commission. However, product complexity had no relationship with department store dependence. Conclusions - This is the first empirical research that investigates the determinants of sales commissions under consignment contracts in the domestic retail industry. This study reveals several theoretical and practical implications for both marketing scholars and marketers. In terms of theoretical implication, this study integrated and enlarged certain theoretical background, such as transaction cost theory, the power-dependence view, and the resource-based view, to explain the determinants of sales commissions under consignment contracts that include sales revenue. From a business management viewpoint, this research offers useful insights for policy makers by applying two different perspectives, both the manufacturer and the retailer, in terms of the sales commission issue under a consignment contract.

Throughout various data sources, it is widely observed that air quality in South Korea has become improved. Koreans, however, insist that their health status and economic burden due to worsened air quality get degenerated. This study aims to explain the mismatch between perception and measured data, air pollution-led medical expenses, and consumption behaviors in the economics perspectives. First, we demonstrated data-driven evidence of mismatch in the perceived severity of air pollution and its enhancement in measured data. Second, using the health demand model, we theoretically derived and empirically showed a co-rising relation between air pollution severity and medical expenses. Last, we analyzed that the perception led to increased defensive expenditures in consumption. This result implies the possibility of overestimation in air pollution impacts on socioeconomic losses and its possible reverse interpretation from increased social benefit after improved air quality. Our results recommend policy consideration to strengthen air quality standards, to support socially vulnerable groups regarding defensive expenditures, and to improve the accessibility and credibility of air pollution information.

본 연구는 항산화효소의 효율적 생산을 위한 적절한 수확시기의 결정 및 산업적 가치를 검토하고자, 제주도에 자생하는 문주란 (Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum)에서 항산화효소 (SOD, peroxidase, catalase, APX) 활성과 isoenzyme 패턴의 계절적 변화양상을 조사하였다. SOD isoenzyme 패턴을 전기영동으로 살펴보면, 전체적으로 7개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었으며, 여름철과 겨울철에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이가 없을 뿐 아니라 일변화에 있어서도 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그리고 이들 isoenzyme은 $H_2O$$_2$와 KCN에 의한 선택적 저해로부터 1개의 Mn-SOD와 6개의 CuZn-SOD로 구분할 수 있었다. Catalase는 단일밴드로 나타났으며, 여름철이 겨울철에 비해 높은 활성을 보였다. Peroxidase는 전체적으로 4개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었다. 이 중 peroxidase 1은 효소활성에는 차이가 있지만 여름철과 겨울철에 모두 검출되었으며, 3개의 isoenzyme (peroxidase 2-4)은 겨울철에만 특이적으로 검출되는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 여름철에는 낮시간에 다소 높은 활성을 보였으며, 겨울철에는 낮시간보다는 새벽과 밤에 높은 활성을 보였다. APX는 8개의 isoenzyme이 검출되었으며, 여름철과 겨울철에 있어서 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보았을 때 SOD, catalase, peroxidase, APX 등 항산화효소의 산업적 생산을 위한 채취는 수확량을 감안하였을때 여름철이 적정 채취시기로 보인다. 그리고 문주란의 catalase와 peroxidase는 SOD나 APX는 달리 단일 밴드 또는 주요 밴드가 있고 높은 활성을 보여 정제시 유리하게 작용할 것으로 보인다. prospects will be also discussed.behaviors to ferromagnetic behavior was observed.

Due to its topographic complexities and various climatical condition, Korea exhibits diverse forest types. Dominant tree species in this zone are Quercus spp., Betula spp., Zelkova spp., Fraxinus spp., Pinus densiflora, Pinus koraiensis, and Pinus thunbergii ete. Genetic conservation in forest species in Korea there are three ways ; one is in situ, other is ex situ and third is in-facility conservation. In situ conservation include that are the present status of conservation of rare and endangered flora and ecosystem, the reserved forest, the national and provincial park, and the gene pool of natural forests. Ex situ conservation means to be established the new forest from in situ forest stands, progeny and provenance test populations, seed orchard and clone banks, and gene conservation in-facility. As a tool for low temperature storage, several aspects on in vitro system were studied ; (1) establishment of in vitro cultures from juvenile and/or rejuvenated tissues, (2) induction of multiple shoots from the individual micropropagules, (3) elongation of the proliferated shoots. Studies on cold storage for short-and long-term maintenance of in vitro cultures under $4^{\circ}C$ in the refrigerator were conducted. For the cryopreservation at $-196^{\circ}C$, various factors affecting survivability of the plant materials are being examined. The necessity of gene conservation of forest trees is enlarged not only to increase the adaptability for various environments but also to gain the breeding materials in the future. For effective gene conservation of forest trees, I would like to suggest followings ; 1. Forest stands reserved for other than the gene conservation purposes such as national parks should be investigated by botanical and gene-ecological studies for selecting bio-diversity and gene conservation stands. 2. Reserved forest for gene pool should be extented both economically important tree spp. and non-economical species. 3. Reserved forest for progeny test and clone bank should be systematically investigated for the use of Ex situ forest gene conservation. 4. We have to find out a new methodology of genetic analysis determining the proper and effective size of subpopulation for in situ gene conservation. 5. We should develop a new tree breeding systems for successful gene conservation and utilization of the genetic resources. 6. New method of in-facility gene conservation using advanced genetic engineering should be developed to save time and economic resources. 7. For the conservation of species with short-life span of seed or shortage of knowledge of seed physiology, tissue culture techniques will be played a great role for gene conservation of those species. 8. It is are very useful conservation not only of genes but of genotypes which were selected already by breeding program. 9. Institutional and administrative arrangements including legistlation must be necessarily taken for gene conservation of forest trees. 10. It is national problems for conservation of forest resources which have been rapidly destroyed because of degenerating environmental condition and of inexperienced management system of bio-diversity and gene conservation. 11. In order to international cooperation for exchanging data of bio-diversity and gene conservation, we should connect to international net works as soon as possible.

Korean grammar checkers typically detect context-dependent errors by employing heuristic rules that are manually formulated by a language expert. These rules are appended each time a new error pattern is detected. However, such grammar checkers are not consistent. In order to resolve this shortcoming, we propose new method for generalizing error decision rules to detect the above errors. For this purpose, we use an existing thesaurus KorLex, which is the Korean version of Princeton WordNet. KorLex has hierarchical word senses for nouns, but does not contain any information about the relationships between cases in a sentence. Through the Tree Cut Model and the MDL(minimum description length) model based on information theory, we extract noun classes from KorLex and generalize error decision rules from these noun classes. In order to verify the accuracy of the new method in an experiment, we extracted nouns used as an object of the four predicates usually confused from a large corpus, and subsequently extracted noun classes from these nouns. We found that the number of error decision rules generalized from these noun classes has decreased to about 64.8%. In conclusion, the precision of our grammar checker exceeds that of conventional ones by 6.2%.

This study seeks to critically examine the significance and limits of the cluster adaptive cycle model for analysis of cluster evolution and to propose research issues for future analysis of cluster evolution based on this critical examination. Until the 1980s, research on industrial complexes including clusters was based on a 'static perspective' that focuses on the aspect of economic space at a specific point in time, but the research paradigm has recently shifted to a 'dynamic perspective' focusing on 'evolution' of 'complex adaptive systems'. As a result, the adaptive cycle model has attracted attention as an analysis tool of dynamically evolving clusters. However, the cluster adaptive cycle model has emerged by being appropriately modified and expanded according to the properties of the cluster and its evolution. The cluster adaptive cycle model is a comprehensive analysis framework that identifies the characteristics of cluster evolution in terms of resource accumulation, interdependence, and resilience and classifies cluster evolution paths into six different categories. Nevertheless, there is still a need for further discussion and supplementation in terms of theoretical and empirical research to expand and deepen the model. Therefore, research issues for future analysis of cluster evolution are to specify and elaborate the cluster evolution model, to emphasize the concept of resilience, and to verify the applicability and usefulness of the model through empirical research.
