  • 네트워크는 공학이나 자연과학은 물론이고 사회과학의 여러 분야를 연구하는데 중요하게 사용되는 모델이다. 이런 네트워크를 좀 더 쉽게 분석하기 위해서는 시각적으로 네트워크의 특징을 잘 나타내는 것이 필요하다. 이러한 그래프 레이아웃 연구는 컴퓨터 기술이 발달함에 따라 많이 연구되고 있다. 그 중에서 요즘 새롭게 부각되고 있는 척도 없는(Scale-free) 네트워크는 다양한 분야에서 복잡한 현상들을 분석하고 이해하는데 유용하게 쓰이고 있다. 이 네트워크의 특징은 링크의 수(Degree)가 멱함수(power law) 분포를 보이고, 다수의 링크를 가지는 허브가 존재함이 알려졌다. 따라서 척도 없는 네트워크에서는 허브를 시각적으로 잘 표현하는 것이 중요하지만 기존의 그래프 레이아웃 알고리즘은 클러스터를 잘 표현하는 정도이다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 척도 없는 네트워크를 잘 표현하는 그래프 레이아웃 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘에서 허브들 간에 작용하는 허브성 척력이 거리에 반비례하고, 허브들의 degree가 a배 증가하면, 허브사이에 작용하는 척력의 크기는 ${\alpha}^{\gamma}({\gamma}$는 연결선 지수)배가 된다. 또한, 전체 노드수와 전체 링크수에 따라 적용되는 힘의 크기를 조정하는 계수를 두어서 네트워크의 규모에 관계없이 허브성 척력이 적용되는 특성이 있다. 제안한 알고리즘이 허브를 잘 표현하는 그래프 레이아웃 알고리즘인지를 기존의 방식과 실험을 통해서 비교하였다. 실험의 절차는 먼저 네트워크에 허브가 존재하는지를 식별한다. 허브의 존재를 식별하기 위한 방법은 연결선 지수를 확인하고, 연결선 지수의 값이 2와 3사이에 있으면 허브가 존재하는 척도 없는 네트워크로 판단한다. 다음은 이 네트워크의 레이아웃 작성에 제안한 알고리즘을 사용한다. 그 결과, 제안한 그래프 레이아웃 알고리즘이 기존의 Noack등의 클러스터중심의 알고리즘에 비해서 척도 없는 네트워크의 허브를 확실히 잘 보여주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 지금까지 이론적, 개념적으로만 제시되었던 사업계획서의 구성요소들을 문헌 연구와 예비조사를 통하여 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 요인분석을 통하여 이들 구성요소들을 생산관련 요인, 실행관련 요인, 운영방향 관련 요인, 제품/서비스 관련 요인, 관련 요인의 5개 요인으로 축소하였다. 한편 기업 성과를 어떤 항목으로 측정할 것인가의 문제도 중요한 이슈가 된다. 평가 항목에 따라서 기업의 활동이 달라지기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 기업성과를 효과성, 적응성 및 효율성으로 구분하여 각각에 미치는 사업계획서 구성요소들의 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과 사업계획서 구성요소들은 효과성, 적응성 기업 성과에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것을 발견하였다. 특히 효과성에 있어서는 다른 성과지표에 비해서 상대적으로 회귀모형의 설명력이 양호하게 나타났다. 그러나 효율성 기업 성과에는 영향력의 방향이 일치하지 않았다. 전반적인 모형의 설명력을 나타내는 $R^2$$0.132^{\sim}0.213$으로서 회귀모형의 설명력이 낮게 나타나고 있는 것은 계획수립뿐만 아니라 실행에 있어서 그 중요성을 보여주는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 즉, 기업성과는 훌륭한 계획 하에서 훌륭한 실행이 뒷받침되어야 양호하게 산출될 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구는 그동안 개념적인 수준에 머무르고 있던 사업계획서의 구성요소와 기업성과와의 관계에 대한 실증적 연구라는 점에서 의의가 있다.

  • 최근에, 휴대용 컴퓨터와 모바일 장치(Smart Phone, PDA, MP3 Player 등)의 보급 증가로 인하여 모바일 환경에서의 전력 관리 기술의 필요성은 매우 증가하고 있다. 왜냐하면, 전력 관리 기술은 모바일 장치에서 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이기 때문이다. 한편, 하드 디스크는 가격에 비하여 용량이 크고 속도가 빠르며 최근에는 모바일 장치에서 사용하기에 충분하게 작게 만들 수도 있으므로 모바일 기기에 사용하기 적당하나, 모바일 장치에 사용하기에는 소모 전력이 너무 크다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 이유들로 인하여 본 논문에서는 디스크에 저장된 연속적인 멀티미디어 자료를 실시간으로 재생하는데 소모되는 전력을 최소화하기 위한 방법을 제안하고 평가하였다. 모바일 장치에서 소모되는 전력을 엄격히 제한하는 것은 모바일 장치들의 하드웨어와 소프트웨어 디자인에 지대한 영향을 준다. 실시간 멀티미디어 재생이 기존의 텍스트 서비스와 다른 점은 디스크가 저장된 데이타 블록을 연속적으로 공급한다는 것이다. 이것은 디스크 드라이브가 멀티미디어 데이타 전체를 재생할 동안 활성화 상태를 유지해야 하게 하므로, 전력 관리 측면에서는 매우 큰 부담으로 작용한다. 전형적인 모바일 디스크 드라이브의 전력 관리 기능은 디스크가 대기 상태에 있을 때의 과도한 입출력 요청으로 인하여 멀티미디어 재생의 품질 측면에서는 부정적인 영향을 준다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 디스크 드라이브의 전력 소모 형태를 세밀히 분석하고, 저장된 멀티미디어 데이타를 보다 효율적으로 전력을 덜 사용해 재생할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이 알고리즘은 읽어야 할 데이타 블록의 수와 활성화/대기 상태의 길이를 계산한다. 이로써 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 모바일 디스크 드라이브에 저장된 데이타 블록의 연속적인 재생을 보장하는 최적의 스케줄링을 한다. 기존에 공개된 MPEG 재생기에 본 알고리즘을 적용한 멀티미디어 재생기를 만들었다. 이 재생기는 전체 재생동안 활성화 상태를 유지하는 경우와 비교하여 60%의 전력 소모량을 절약하였고, 전력 관리 모듈이 있는 디스크 드라이브에서 재생할 경우에 기존외 재생기와 비교하여 38%의 전력 소모량을 절약하였다.

  • This study evaluates the protective effects of Korean garlic juice against the toxicity of methyl mercuric chloride (MMC) in relation to fetal ossification in pregnant Fischer 344 rats. This study has as its basis, both theory and data that neutral amino acids in garlic juice have protective effects against mercury poisoning. Pregnant rats were dosed in various combination with 20 mg MMC/kg body wt. and 0.5 or 1.0 garlic juice/kg body wt. on the 7th day of gestation. Fetuses were extracted from the dams on 20th day of gestation, and the fetal bones were stained and measured. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Fetal body weights, body lengths, and head length were significantly decreased by as much as 23.5%, 21.3%, 15.5% respectively in 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were almost similar to the controls. 2. The ossification centers were significantly decreased by as much as 35.1% in pelvic phalanges, 53.5% in pectoral phalanges, 74.1% in ternebrae, 76.2% in tail in 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were significantly increased by as much as $81.2{\sim}88.7%$ and $94.8{\sim}98.9%$ of controls. 3. The ossified pectoral girdles were significantly decreased by as much as 66.6% in clavicle, and in other areas $74.2{\sim}87.4%$ in the 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were significantly increased by as much as $81.2{\sim}88.7%$ and $94.8{\sim}98.9%$ of the controls. 4. The ossified pelvic girdles were significantly decreased by as much as 57.1% and 56.1% in two ischium, $67.2{\sim}81.7%$ in metacarpals in the 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were significantly increased by as much as $67.0{\sim}85.6%$ and $90.1{\sim}98.7%$ of the controls. 5. The ossified terenebrae were unchanged or significantly decreased; 0.0% in 5th, 54.1% in 1st, 83.9% in 2nd, 75.0% in 3rd, 72.7% in 4th, 79.8% in 6th of 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were significantly increased by as much as $29.5{\sim}55.1%$ and $54.5{\sim}84.0%$ of the controls. 6. The ossified ribs were significantly decreased by as much as $8.3{\sim}18.0%$ in 20 mg/wt kg methyl mercuric chloride groups (p<0.05). But in the garlic treated groups, they were significantly increased by as much as $87.1{\sim}93.5%$ and $96.3{\sim}99.7%$ of the controls. In conclusion, Korean garlic juice significantly protected against the toxicity of MMC in relation to the fetal ossification in pregnant rats.

  • This study examined university students' view on the importance of attending rituals of congratulation or condolence in social life, and the extent to which they recognized the manners of offering congratulation or condolence. It also looked into the plans and content of education on such manners required by the students. The study aimed at seeking a direction for education on the manners of offering congratulation or condolence in order to help the students acquire an appropriate conception of offering congratulation or condolence and contribute to firmly establishing a sound culture of conveying congratulation or condolence. The following results were obtained in the study. 1. One a five-point scale, university students' recognitions of the importance of attending rituals of congratulation or condolence were revealed as follows: attending condolence rituals(4.55) > attending wedding ceremonies(4.30) > visiting sick acquaintances(4.03) > attending birthday parties (3.50) > attending openings(3.47) > attending promotion or retirement parties(3.42). 2. One a five-point scale, university students' recognitions of the manners of offering congratulation or condolence in social life were as follows: the manners of attending condolence rituals(4.20) > the manners of attending wedding ceremonies(4.06) > the manners of attending promotion or retirement parties(3.9) > the manners of attending openings(3.80) > the manners of attending birthday parties(3.69) > the manners of visiting sick acquaintances(3.44). 3. One a five-point scale, university students' requirements for the content of education on the manners of conveying congratulation and condolence were as follows: education on the manners of attending condolence rituals(4.08) > education on the manners of visiting sick acquaintances(3.35) > education on the manners of attending wedding ceremonies(3.27) > education on the manners of attending promotion and retirement parties(2.96) > education on the manners of attending birthday parties(2.91) > education on the manners of attending openings(2.91). 4. One a five-point scale, university students' requirements for the plan for education on the manners of conveying congratulation and condolence were as follows: 'The education content should be applicable in real life'(4.42) > 'The education content should be easily understandable' (4.23) > 'Information or materials related to the education content should be easily accessible'(4.01) > 'The theory and actual practice of education should be taught in parallel' (3.96) > 'Education related materials should be utilized'(3.92) > 'Students' demands should be reflected when structuring the content of education'(3.91). 5. The study examined the relationship among university students' recognitions of the importance of attending rituals of congratulation or condolence, their recognitions of the manners of offering congratulation or condolence, and their demands regarding such manners. According to the results, a static relationship was found in all sub-areas, indicating students show higher recognition of practicing manners of conveying congratulation or condolence as they have higher recognition of attending rituals of congratulation or condolence in social life. In addition, higher recognition of practicing manners of conveying congratulation or condolence made them demand more for the necessity of plan and content of education on the manners of offering congratulation or condolence in university.

  • Chronic illness requiring attention and management during a long period of time puts great burden onto patients, their family and society. For patients with chronic illnesses, providing social support is the most important, and the fundamental support comes from their spouses. Amount and quality of support from spouses seems to differentiated according to the sex of patients. Female patients tend to believe that their spouses are not very supportive. Therefore, the researchers assessed the burden of husbands of female arthritis patients to discover the factors that result in greater burden. Also, they developed a theoretical model of husbands′ care for their wives through a qualitative research into husbands′ experience. Method 1: The study material was 650 female arthritis patients registered in an arthritis clinic. The questionnaire about the disease experience of female arthritis patients and the burden of husbands were sent. Returned questionnaires numbered 210(32.3%) and 27 were excluded because of inadequate answers. The remaining 183 questionnaires were analyzed. The mean age of the patients was 51 years and the mean age of spouses was 55 years. The mean marital period was 28 years. The average duration since diagnosis was 9.1 years. Education level was varied from primary school to graduate school, and average income/month was 1,517,300 won. Method 2: Initial questionnaire studies on the burden of husbands were performed. Among 183 responding husbands, 23 consented to participate for a qualitative research. Data was obtained by direct and telephone interviews. The mean age of participants was 58 years, and the educational level and socioeconomic status also varied. Result: 1. Husbands′ burden: The average burden was 57.68 with a range of 6-96. 2. Burden and general characteristics: The husband′s burden correlated with the age of the patients, numbers in the family, therapy methods, patient′s level of discomfort, patient′s disease severity, patient′s level of dependence and the husband′s understanding of the level of severity. 3. Linear correlation analysis on burden: The husbands′ burden is explained in 22.5% by husband′s recognition of level of severity and husbands′ age. 4. There were four patterns of the burden on husbands: both objectve burden and subjective burden were high(pattern I), both of objectve burden and subjective burden were low(pattern II), objective burden was high but subjective burden was low(pattern III), objective burden was low but subjective burden was high(pattern IV). The pattern was correlated with the family income, educational level of the patients and their husbands, therapy methods, patient′s level of discomfort, patient′s disease severity, patient′s level of dependence and husband′s understanding of level of severity. 5. The core category of the caring experience of the husbands with arthritis patients was "companionship". The causal factor was the patients′ experience due to symptoms : physical disfigurement, pain, immobility, limitation of house chores, and limitation of social activities. Contextural factors are husbands′ identification of housework and husbands′ concern about the disease. The mediating factors are economic problems, fear of aging, feeling of limitation and family support. The strategy for interaction is mind control and how to solve emotional stress. The "companionship" resulted from caring activities, participation of household activities, helping patients′ to coping with emotional experience. 6. Companionship is established through the process of entering intervention, and caring state of mind. Entering intervention is the phase of participation of therapy and involvement of houseworks. The caring phase consists of decision on therapy, providing therapy, providing direct care, and taking over the household role of wife. Through caring phase, the changing phase set a stage in which husbands consolidate the relationship with their wives, and are reminded of the meaning of marriage. As a result, in changing phase, husbands′ companionship is enhanced. In conclusion, nursing care of chronic illnesses should include a family member especially the spouse. All information on disease shoud be provided to patients and whole family member. Strong support should also be provided to overcome difficulties in taking over role of other sex. Then the quality of life of patients and families will be much improved.

  • Support has always been considered an important nursing concept. However, there is no agreement among nurse researchers as to a conceptual definition of supportive nursing or meaningful supportive behaviors. Clarification of the concept, support in nursing, is necessary to promote communication among nurses on nursing behaviors that are effective in providing support and on understanding the relevant properties and charcteristics of the concept, supportive nursing care. The objectives of the study were : 1. to analyse the concept, support in nursing, in order to provide a definition of supportive nursing care, and 2. to operationalize the definition of supportive nursing care and use it as an experimental nursing intervention for patients with low back pain. The first part of the study used the concept analysis approach developed by Walker and Avant(1983) to define the concept of supportive nursing care. The properties of supportive nursing care, defined by this analysis, included perception of supportive need, reciprocal interaction(Transaction), listening, providing empathy and information related to health, and confirmation of the patient's verbal and non - verbal response. The second part, the experimental part of the study, was done using King's(1970) Interpersonal Theory for Nursing. The concept, supportive nursing care, as defined in the concept analysis was operationalized and used as the experimental intervention. The experiment tested the effectiveness of the independent variable, supportive nursing care on the dependent variables, depression, mood and patient satisfaction, in the patients with low back pain in army hospitals. The instruments used to measure the dependent variables were Zung's(1965) Self- Rating Depression Scale, Ryman and Colleagues'(1974) Mood Questionnaire and LaMonica and Colleagues'(1986) Patient Satisfaction Scale. The experimental design used for this study was a Solomon 4 group experimental design. This design has the strength of allowing for observation of the main effects of supportive nursing care and pretesting, and for observation of the interaction effects of pretesting and supportive nursing care. The design includes one experimental group and three control groups. The Subjects of this study were 150 young male patients with low back pain on Neuro - Surgical Wards in three general army hospitals. There were 35 in the experimental group, 39 in the pre - posttest control group, 36 in the treatment - posttest control group and 40 in the posttest only control group. Supportive nursing care, as operationalized by the researcher according to the concept analysis, was given to the patients in the experimental group and the treatment -posttest control group, individually for 30 minute sessions, every other day for 5 days. Data collection was done using a questionnaire. The data were collected in a pretest one week before the supportive nursing care sessions, a posttest immediately after the sessions and follow- up test one week later. Hypotheses testing was done using 2×2 factorial analysis of variance and Meta analysis(Stouffer's Z method). The results of this study are summarized as follows : 1. Hypothesis Ⅰ, “There will be a difference on depression level between the patients with low back pain who receive supportive nursing care and those who do not receive supportive nursing care”, was supported (F=8.49, p<.05). 2. Hypothesis Ⅱ, “There will be a difference on mood level between the patients with low back pain who receive supportive nursing care and those who to not receive supportive nursing care”, was supported (Z meta=2.17, p<.05). 3. Hypothesis Ⅲ, “There will be a difference on satisfaction level between the patients with low back pain who receive supportive nursing care and those who do not receive supportive nursing care”, was supported (F=13.67, p<.05). 4. ANOVA, done to examine the interaction effect of history and maturation, showed no significant difference on the dependent variables between the observations of the pretest scores of the experimental group, the pretest scores of the pre- posttest control group and the posttest score of the posttest only control group. 5. To test for continuing effect of supportive nursing care, paired t-test was done to compare the scores for the dependent variables at the posttest and at the one week later follow-up test. No significant difference on the scores for the dependent variables was found between the posttest scores and the follow-up test scores for the two groups that received supportive nursing care, the experimental group and the treatment-posttest control group. In conclusion, it was found that in the case of young soldiers with low back pain in army hospitals, their depression level was decreased, their mood state was changed positively and their satisfaction level was increased by receiving supportive nursing care. Further, the effectiveness of the supportive nursing care lasted for at least one week in this study. The significance of this study to nursing is in the analysis of the concept of supportive nursing care and the demonstration of the effectiveness of supportive nursing care as an intervention within the limits of the study.

  • The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

  • 치매에서의 뇌파 연구는 주로 주파수 분석과 지형화 분석을 이용하여 정량화하는 것을 위주로 진행되어 왔으나, 이러한 선형적 분석은 뇌파와 같이 복잡한 신호를 분석하는 것에는 한계가 있었다. 최근 새로운 패러다임인 카오스 이론에 근거를 두고 뇌파를 비선형적으로 측정하는 방법이 소개되고 있다. 본 연구는 알쯔하이머형 치매 환자의 뇌파 신호를 최대 양수 리아프노프 지수를 이용하여 비선형적으로 분석하는 것이 가능한 가를 알아보고 그 결과를 대조군과 비교해보기 위하여 시도되었다. 3명의 알쯔하이머형 치매 환자와 3명의 대조군에서 뇌파 신호를 받아 디지털화한 후에 비선형 분석법 중 하나인 최대 양수 리아프노프 지수를 산출하였다. 알쯔하이머형 치매군은 전체 15개의 전극 부위 중 8곳의 전극 부위에서 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 낮은 최대 양수 리아프노프 지수를 나타내었다. 각 두뇌 영역별 및 반구별 분석에서도 알쯔하이머형 치매군이 대조군에 비하여 전 두뇌 영역에서 최대 양수 리아프노프 지수가 유의하게 낮았다. 이에 따라 알쯔하이머형 치매 환자의 뇌파를 비선형적 분석하여 조사한 이들 두뇌의 카오스적 성상이 감소되어 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 결과는 향후 뇌파의 비선형적 분석인 리아프노프 지수 산출이 두뇌 기능을 조사하는 데에 유용한 새로운 방법이 될 가능성이 있다는 것을 시사한다.

  • The database for the oriental medicine had been existed in documentation in past times and it has been developed to the database type for random accesses in the information society. However, the aspects of the database are not so diversified and the database for the bio herbal material exists in widened type dictionary style. It is a situation that the database which handles the in-depth raw herbal medicines is not sufficient in its quantity and quality. Korean wild grape is a deciduous plant categorized into the Vitaceae and it was found experimentally that it has various medical effects. It is one of the medical materials with higher potentiality of academic study and commercialization recently because it has a bigger possibility to be applied into diverse industrial fields including the medical product for health, food and beauty. We constituted the cooperative system among the Muju cluster business group for Korean mountain wild grapes, Physiology Laboratory in Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine and Medical Classics Laboratory in Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine with a view to focusing on such potentiality and a database for Korean wild grapes was made a touchstone for establishing the in-depth database for the single bio medical materials. First of all, the literatures based on the North East Asia in ancient times had been categorized into the classical literature (Korean literature published by government organization, Korean classical literature, Chinese classical literature and classical literature fro Korean and Chinese oriental medicine) and modern literature (Modern literature for oriental medicine, modern literature for domestic and foreign herbal medicine) to cover the eastern and western research records and writings related to Korean wild grapes and the text-mining work has been performed through the cooperation system with the Medical Classics Laboratory in Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine. First of all, the data for the experiment and theory for Korean wild grape were collected for the Medline database controlled by the Parliament Library of USA to arrange the domestic and foreign theses with topic for Korean wild grapes and the network hyperlink function and down load function were mounted for self-thesis searching function and active view based on the collected data. The thesis searching function provides various auxiliary functions and the searching is available according to the diverse searching/queries such as the name of sub species of Korean wild grape, the logical intersection index for the active ingredients, efficacy and elements. It was constituted for the researchers who design the Korean wild grape study to design of easier experiment. In addition, the data related to the patents for Korean wild grape which were collected from European Patent Office in response to the commercialization possibility and the system available for searching and view was established in the same viewpoint. Perl was used for the query programming and MS-SQL for database establishment and management in the designing of this database. Currently, the data is available for free use and the address is as follows. http://163.180.41.43:8011/index.html
