This study explores the way to enhance research performance focusing basic and fundamental technology when researchers conduct international joint research with counterparts in foreign countries, funded under the National R&D programs. In order to retain validity and objectivity, mixed approaches including qualitative and quantitative are adapted at the first step. Through this step, main factors affecting the research performance can be addressed, such as the number of SCI papers published, conference attendance held both in domestic and foreign countries, researchers holding PhD involving in projects. Then, at the second step, DEA methodology is applied to explore the way to enhance research performance, based on the analysis at first step. The result at second step shows that the various ways can be drawn according to programs respectively and the general assumption of research funds and number of projects affecting positive outcome is not absolutely mentioned. Therefore, this study implies that input variables including research funds are not compatible with research performance in terms of international joint research and suggests further that the decisive outcome and management be reconsidered according to the programs respectively under the national R&D program.

Among various numerical methods of wave transformations including wave breaking by structure, models using VOF(Volume Of Fluid) method to trace free surface are getting into the spotlight recently. In order to analyze wave transformations and velocity of the wave fields due to the permeable submerged breakwater(PSB), This study applied VOF method to the two-dimensional wave channel installed line-source to generate waves and added dissipation zone to offer a non-reflective boundary. Hydraulic experiments was performed to obtain the application of two-dimensional numerical wave channel. The results of numerical experiments using the two-dimensional wave channel agree well with the experimental data. It was shown that vortices are formed behind the PSB, and in case of the 2-rowed PSB they also are occurred in between PSBs, strongly non-linear waves are developed on the crown of the PSB, and the direction of velocities in porous media is determined by the shape of free surface.

In Korea, the construction industry has been growing quantitatively because of its aggressive advances into overseas construction market and the Korean government's housing policy. Moreover, visions and goals such as 'construction industry promotion build up plan' have recently been promoted by the government while new strategic growth focused on competitiveness is gaining interests among the industry. However, there are a few problems in the construction performance. First, the specific performance measurement indicator or skills for the construction industry are hardly found in Korea. Currently, the finance or overall management system in the construction business are used as indicators to measure performances in not only the construction industry but all industries including the manufacturing industry. The government, the industry and universities recognized the need for the performance measurement indicator and skill and have developed and actively studied on them.

Any vehicle and equipment whose total weight is more than 40ton and its axle weight is 10ton or above is banned to cross any bridge in our country under section 54 in the Highway law. This restriction results from the accumulation and application of safety factors about which there is type specification in the "standard design vehicle". And in "standard design vehicle", Vehicle load to bridge is assumed concentrating one. Based on this restriction, there is an issue that military tank which has a total weight of 51ton (63ton in case of the US tank) can not cross any bridge. However, many research and practical examples concerned manifest that it is possible for military tanks to cross these bridges. The reasons of this issue in the current Highway law's provisions are analyzed in this paper. Correspondingly, feasibility of military tanks passing these bridges are discussed here. At last, considering economical efficiency and practicability for military, several suggestions and improving measures are put forward. This research has certain reality significance to guide bridge design considering the passage of military heavy vehicles.

Coping with the problems of school violence, weapon and drug abuses, 'zero tolerance policies' have been adopted in the United States since the 1980's. Authorities have been securing the safety and learning-friendly environment of the school, imposing predetermined penalties on any case of school violence or disruption. It is reported that the school violence rate drops accordingly. However, the policies are criticized for their rather escalating effect due to severe punishments on minor offenses, evidencing no effectiveness worthwhile. As alternatives, 'graduated systems of discipline' meeting minor misbehaviors with less severe consequences or 'early response model' are suggested, without abandoning those main rules of zero tolerance policies. Recently Korean government tries to take charge of school violence, issuing some nation-wide measures such as 'the Comprehensive Measures to Stop School Violence'. This article analyzed major principles and changes of the zero tolerance polices of US case, to induce some policy suggestions for the validity of Korean government's measures implemented under the understanding that "little bullying" is also a "crime" to disclose all school violence.
