At the initial stage of Internet advertising, banner advertising came into fashion. As the Internet developed into a central part of daily lives and the competition in the on-line advertising market was getting fierce, there was not enough space for banner advertising, which rushed to portal sites only. All these factors was responsible for an upsurge in advertising prices. Consequently, the high-cost and low-efficiency problems with banner advertising were raised, which led to an emergence of keyword advertising as a new type of Internet advertising to replace its predecessor. In the beginning of 2000s, when Internet advertising came to be activated, display advertisement including banner advertising dominated the Net. However, display advertising showed signs of gradual decline, and registered minus growth in the year 2009, whereas keyword advertising showed rapid growth and started to outdo display advertising as of the year 2005. Keyword advertising refers to the advertising technique that exposes relevant advertisements on the top of research sites when one searches for a keyword. Instead of exposing advertisements to unspecified individuals like banner advertising, keyword advertising, or targeted advertising technique, shows advertisements only when customers search for a desired keyword so that only highly prospective customers are given a chance to see them. In this context, it is also referred to as search advertising. It is regarded as more aggressive advertising with a high hit rate than previous advertising in that, instead of the seller discovering customers and running an advertisement for them like TV, radios or banner advertising, it exposes advertisements to visiting customers. Keyword advertising makes it possible for a company to seek publicity on line simply by making use of a single word and to achieve a maximum of efficiency at a minimum cost. The strong point of keyword advertising is that customers are allowed to directly contact the products in question through its more efficient advertising when compared to the advertisements of mass media such as TV and radio, etc. The weak point of keyword advertising is that a company should have its advertisement registered on each and every portal site and finds it hard to exercise substantial supervision over its advertisement, there being a possibility of its advertising expenses exceeding its profits. Keyword advertising severs as the most appropriate methods of advertising for the sales and publicity of small and medium enterprises which are in need of a maximum of advertising effect at a low advertising cost. At present, keyword advertising is divided into CPC advertising and CPM advertising. The former is known as the most efficient technique, which is also referred to as advertising based on the meter rate system; A company is supposed to pay for the number of clicks on a searched keyword which users have searched. This is representatively adopted by Overture, Google's Adwords, Naver's Clickchoice, and Daum's Clicks, etc. CPM advertising is dependent upon the flat rate payment system, making a company pay for its advertisement on the basis of the number of exposure, not on the basis of the number of clicks. This method fixes a price for advertisement on the basis of 1,000-time exposure, and is mainly adopted by Naver's Timechoice, Daum's Speciallink, and Nate's Speedup, etc, At present, the CPC method is most frequently adopted. The weak point of the CPC method is that advertising cost can rise through constant clicks from the same IP. If a company makes good use of strategies for maximizing the strong points of keyword advertising and complementing its weak points, it is highly likely to turn its visitors into prospective customers. Accordingly, an advertiser should make an analysis of customers' behavior and approach them in a variety of ways, trying hard to find out what they want. With this in mind, her or she has to put multiple keywords into use when running for ads. When he or she first runs an ad, he or she should first give priority to which keyword to select. The advertiser should consider how many individuals using a search engine will click the keyword in question and how much money he or she has to pay for the advertisement. As the popular keywords that the users of search engines are frequently using are expensive in terms of a unit cost per click, the advertisers without much money for advertising at the initial phrase should pay attention to detailed keywords suitable to their budget. Detailed keywords are also referred to as peripheral keywords or extension keywords, which can be called a combination of major keywords. Most keywords are in the form of texts. The biggest strong point of text-based advertising is that it looks like search results, causing little antipathy to it. But it fails to attract much attention because of the fact that most keyword advertising is in the form of texts. Image-embedded advertising is easy to notice due to images, but it is exposed on the lower part of a web page and regarded as an advertisement, which leads to a low click through rate. However, its strong point is that its prices are lower than those of text-based advertising. If a company owns a logo or a product that is easy enough for people to recognize, the company is well advised to make good use of image-embedded advertising so as to attract Internet users' attention. Advertisers should make an analysis of their logos and examine customers' responses based on the events of sites in question and the composition of products as a vehicle for monitoring their behavior in detail. Besides, keyword advertising allows them to analyze the advertising effects of exposed keywords through the analysis of logos. The logo analysis refers to a close analysis of the current situation of a site by making an analysis of information about visitors on the basis of the analysis of the number of visitors and page view, and that of cookie values. It is in the log files generated through each Web server that a user's IP, used pages, the time when he or she uses it, and cookie values are stored. The log files contain a huge amount of data. As it is almost impossible to make a direct analysis of these log files, one is supposed to make an analysis of them by using solutions for a log analysis. The generic information that can be extracted from tools for each logo analysis includes the number of viewing the total pages, the number of average page view per day, the number of basic page view, the number of page view per visit, the total number of hits, the number of average hits per day, the number of hits per visit, the number of visits, the number of average visits per day, the net number of visitors, average visitors per day, one-time visitors, visitors who have come more than twice, and average using hours, etc. These sites are deemed to be useful for utilizing data for the analysis of the situation and current status of rival companies as well as benchmarking. As keyword advertising exposes advertisements exclusively on search-result pages, competition among advertisers attempting to preoccupy popular keywords is very fierce. Some portal sites keep on giving priority to the existing advertisers, whereas others provide chances to purchase keywords in question to all the advertisers after the advertising contract is over. If an advertiser tries to rely on keywords sensitive to seasons and timeliness in case of sites providing priority to the established advertisers, he or she may as well make a purchase of a vacant place for advertising lest he or she should miss appropriate timing for advertising. However, Naver doesn't provide priority to the existing advertisers as far as all the keyword advertisements are concerned. In this case, one can preoccupy keywords if he or she enters into a contract after confirming the contract period for advertising. This study is designed to take a look at marketing for keyword advertising and to present effective strategies for keyword advertising marketing. At present, the Korean CPC advertising market is virtually monopolized by Overture. Its strong points are that Overture is based on the CPC charging model and that advertisements are registered on the top of the most representative portal sites in Korea. These advantages serve as the most appropriate medium for small and medium enterprises to use. However, the CPC method of Overture has its weak points, too. That is, the CPC method is not the only perfect advertising model among the search advertisements in the on-line market. So it is absolutely necessary that small and medium enterprises including independent shopping malls should complement the weaknesses of the CPC method and make good use of strategies for maximizing its strengths so as to increase their sales and to create a point of contact with customers.

포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업은 저장소 선정 및 저장소 특성화 연구 과정에서 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증의 지진 유발 가능성과 누출 가능성에 대하여 진지하게 검토하고 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증의 안정성을 확보하기 위한 많은 노력을 경주해 왔다. 그럼에도 불구하고 2017년 11월 15일 발생한 규모 5.4의 포항 지진으로 큰 피해를 입은 포항시와 시민들은 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증의 지진 유발 가능성에 대하여 큰 우려를 가지고 있는 상황이다. 포항분지 해상 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구팀은 2017년 포항 지진 이후 포항 영일만 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증의 안전성에 대하여 자체 조사를 수행하여, 2017년 포항 지진과 포항분지 영일만 해상 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증의 관련성과 향후 본격적인 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증이 수행될 경우 지진 유발 가능성이나 누출 가능성에 대하여 면밀하게 평가하였다. 자체 조사 결과, 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업은 2017년 포항지진의 진앙과 약 10 km 떨어진 영일만 해역에 저장소가 위치하며, $CO_2$ 저장층의 심도도 해저면 아래 약 750-800 m 정도로서 포항 지진의 심도와 큰 차이를 보인다. 또한 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업은 2017년 1월 12일부터 3월 12일까지 약 3개월간 $CO_2$ 시험 주입을 수행한 이후 수송체계 구축과 주입공 격상을 위해 $CO_2$ 주입 행위가 중지된 상황으로 2017년 11월 15일에 발생한 포항 지진과 직접적인 관련성을 찾기 어렵다. 무엇보다도 $CO_2$ 지중저장 기술의 개념이 지층을 파쇄하는 것이 아니라 염수와 같은 유체로 채워진 다공질 퇴적층에서 염수를 천천히 밀어내면서 초임계상의 $CO_2$를 주입한다는 측면에서 대용량의 $CO_2$를 장기간 주입하여 저장층의 압력이 크게 상승하는 경우를 제외하면 인간 사회에 피해를 가져오는 일정 규모 이상의 지진을 유발할 가능성이 크지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 게다가 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업의 $CO_2$ 시험 주입 규모가 약 100톤 정도로서 규모 5.0 이상의 지진을 유발할 수 있는 대규모 주입 행위가 없었기 때문에 2017년 포항 지진과의 연관성을 가정하는 것이 무리가 있다. 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업의 연구팀은 자체 조사를 통해 향후 포항분지 해상 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업이 장기적으로 수행될 경우 지진 유발 가능성과 누출 가능성에 대하여도 평가를 수행하였다. 자체 평가 결과에 따르면, 저장층 상부의 덮개층이 파쇄되거나 주변 단층의 재활성화가 발생하지 않도록 정해진 범위에서 압력을 조절하면서 $CO_2$ 스트림을 주입할 경우 지진 유발이나 단층 재활성화를 초래할 가능성이 매우 희박한 것으로 분석되었다. 더불어, 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업은 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 과정에서 주입된 $CO_2$ 스트림의 누출을 최소화하기 위해 저장소 인근 지층의 파쇄 압력, 저장소 인근 단층의 재활성화 압력, 주입공 누출을 방지하기 위한 완결 공정, 주입된 $CO_2$ 스트림의 누출 경로 파악과 거동 및 누출 모니터링, 안전한 $CO_2$ 저장을 위한 저장소 운영과 관련된 연구를 충실하게 수행하고 있으며, 연구팀의 자체 조사 결과 주입된 $CO_2$ 스트림이 인간 사회에 영향을 미칠 정도의 규모로 누출될 가능성은 크지 않은 것으로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 포항분지 해상 중소규모 $CO_2$ 지중저장 실증 연구사업은 인간이 감지할 정도의 지진 유발 및 주입된 $CO_2$ 스트림의 누출을 발생시킬 가능성이 크지 않으며, 비록 적은 가능성이지만, 지진이나 누출이 발생하지 않도록 지속적으로 안전성 확보를 위한 연구개발을 최우선적으로 수행할 계획이다.

본 연구는 제주시 한림읍 소재 명월대와 명월숲의 생태문화경관적 특성 파악과 가치 발굴을 목적으로 시도되었다. 이를 위해 이곳의 장소성을 밝히고 명월대와 명월숲의 경관특성을 조명하는 한편 지속가능한 활용과 보존을 위한 관리방안을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 명월성과 명월포구는 예로부터 군사요새이자, 명월 수류촌은 서부 제주지역 행정의 중심지인 한림읍 명월지역의 위상을 보여줄 뿐 아니라 명월지역에 존재했던 월계정사와 우학당은 교육문화의 본산으로, 교육 중심지 명월리의 장소성을 대변한다. 명월대는 조선시대 선비들이 시와 풍월을 즐기고, 장기와 바둑을 두던 유풍이 남아있는 음풍농월의 현장이자 제주도의 대표적인 유교 문화경관이다. 현재의 명월대 유구는 일제강점기인 1931년 홍종시(洪鍾時)를 중심으로 한 명월청년회 주도로 이루어진 정비사업의 결과이다. 사각형-팔각형-원형 등 3단으로 구성된 명월대의 석축 구성은 유교사상의 천인합일사상을 바탕으로, 중앙의 팔각은 천원지방(天圓地方)의 의미를 부여한 것으로 보인다. 한편 명월대교와 명월교는 모두 초기에는 홍예교로 석축된 것으로 추정되며 명월교는 제주에 남아있는 유일한 홍예교로 근대문화유산적 가치가 있다. 명월숲의 식물상은 총 97분류군(taxa)이 확인되었으며, '식물구계학적 특정식물종의 분류군 및 등급기준'에 준하면 IV등급에는 가는쇠고사리, III등급에 호랑가시나무, 후추등, 까마귀쪽나무, 멀구슬나무, 산유자나무, 노랑하늘타리, 아욱메풀, 아왜나무 등 8분류군으로 나타났다. 반면에 귀화식물은 제주도에만 이입된 솔잎미나리를 비롯하여 14분류군이 확인되었다. 명월숲에는 팽나무 41주와 푸조나무 30주, 산유자나무 2주, 소나무, 동백나무, 멀구슬나무, 호랑가시나무 각각 1주 등 도합 77그루의 수목이 군락을 이루고 있다. 조사된 자료를 근거로 명월대와 명월숲의 보존관리방안은 다음과 같다. 명월대와 명월교 그리고 명월숲을 하나의 통합 영역으로 한 보존관리가 필수적이다. 명월교는 제주도내에서는 찾아보기 어려운 홍예교로 수준 높은 석공예물로 장기적인 보존방안이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 한편 교량노후화로 인해 사고위험에 노출되고, 안전진단이 요구되는 명월대교는 정밀안전진단 결과에 따른 대책이 요구된다. 재시공시 초건 시의 모습인 2수문의 완벽한 홍예교로 건립하여 명월대와 함께 향후 대표적 지역 명소로 보존 및 활용해야 할 것을 건의한다. 또한 조사결과에 근거한 종조성으로 볼 때 현재 제주특별자치도 기념물 제19호 '명월 팽나무군락'의 명칭은 '명월 팽나무-푸조나무군락'으로 재고되어야 할 것이다. 그리고 팽나무와 푸조나무 구분 없이 이루어진 일련번호 체계는 개선되어야 하며 노거수목 및 특정식물종이나 귀화종에 대해서는 생육상태에 대한 주기적인 모니터링이 요구된다.

1994년 가을 한국을 방문하였을 때 놀란 것 온 도시 근교에 숲과 같이 세워진 고층 아파트 단지와 그 수요의 배경이 된 서울, 수원을 비롯한 수도권의 인구 집중이었다. 이러한 인구 집중을 가져온 것은 바로 제2차, 3차 산업의 발달이었다. 그 이후 6년만인 2000년 3월에 다시 농촌과 농촌지도사업의 변화 동향을 살펴보기 위하여 농가 방문, 도 농업기술원 및 시 ${\cdot}$ 군농업 기술센터를 방문하면서 더욱 진전된 아파트군과 도시 근교의 비닐 하우스 단지였으며, 이는 한국이 지속적인 경제 발전을 하고 있다는 한 증거였다. 한국은 1997년에 내습한 통화위기로 IMF의 구제 금융을 받게 되었고, 이로 인하여 한국 경제는 IMF의 관리하에 있었으나 1년만에 회복의 기미를 보이기 시작하였으며, 1999에는 GDP 성장률이 10.7%에 달하였다. 한국 정부는 이 시기에 구조개혁을 단행하여 금융, 기업, 노동, 공공의 각 부분에 개혁을 단행하였다. 특히 정부로서는 정부 조직을 개편하여 지방화, 행정 조직 인원의 삭감, 농업 예산의 축소하는 방향으로 나아갔고 공기업을 민영화하여 농업 단체의 통합, 각종 규제를 철폐하였다. 중앙 정부의 권력이 지방으로 많이 이양되어 시장, 군수 등의 권한이 크게 늘어났다. 농촌지도사업도 IMF 관리하의 정부 조직 개편 및 규제 완화의 대상이 되었다. 지금까지 중앙 정부 소속이었던 농촌지도 사업이 지방화의 영향으로 시 ${\cdot}$ 군으로 이관되었다. 이것에 동반하여 농촌지도소 수의 축소(64%), 지도 직원의 감원(24%), 사업 예산의 감소 등으로 나타났다. 이러한 개편 과정에서 농촌지도사업의 기본적인 방향을 정하는 것은 중앙의 농촌진흥청이 맡고 인사와 기술 개발, 지원은 도농업기술원, 사업운영 책임은 시 ${\cdot}$ 군에서 맡는 체제로 개편되었다. 시 ${\cdot}$ 군 단계의 농촌지도사업은 담당 기구가 농촌지도소에서 농업기술센터로 그 명칭이 변경되었고, 설치권자가 군수로 되었으며, 그 기능에 기술 개발 업무가 더해졌으며, 농촌지도사 및 생활지도사의 수가 크게 감소되었다. 최근에 한국의 농촌 및 농촌지도사업을 관찰한 결과, 이러한 중앙, 도 시 군의 지도 기능 분담이 그렇게 잘 인식되어 있는 것만은 아닌 면도 있는 것으로 보였다. 이러한 구조 개선을 계기로 해서 농촌의 현실을 반영한 실효성 있는 농촌진흥에 기여할 수 있는 농촌지도사업으로 재출발한다는 의의를 살릴 수 있도록 농촌진흥청은 농업기술센터의 동태를 철저하게 살피고 이와 관련한 도농업기술원의 대응을 파악하여 이를 기초로 기능을 발휘하도록 만들어야 할 것이다. 국가에서 이관된 현지의 농촌지도 거점인 농업기술센터에 관하여 농촌지도소가 개칭되어 농업기술센터가 되었고 조직적인 면에서도 기술개발과가 설치되었다. 이는 현지에서의 기술 개발이 가능하게 된 점과 현지에서 원하는 과제를 신속하게 대응하여 도와 국가의 시험연구 과제로 삼을 수 있게 된 것은 시험 연구 사업에서 크게 평가받을 만한 발전이라 할 것이다. 그러나, 농촌지도 직원이 다른 행정 업무도 겸무하여 될 경우 영농 환경을 좋게 하는 직접적인 행정에 관한 업무에서는 겸무하므로서 농가도 편리해지고, 보급지도의 효과도 촉진되는 경우가 있으나 검사, 취체 업무는 반드시 피해야 할 일이다. 동일인이 이것을 담당하게 되면 농가에게 안심감을 잃어버리고 보급 효과는 기대할 수 없게 될 것이다. 한국의 농촌지도사업의 보급 내용은 농업자재의 절약, 첨단농업기술의 개발, 이를 기반으로 수출농업의 촉진과 생산성 향상, 시장에 강한 농업의 구축 등에 힘을 쏟고 있는 것으로 보였다. 그러나 이러한 농업의 추구는 약탈농업을 추구하는 등 지속적 농업이 되지 않을 가능성이 높아지게 된다. 앞으로 지속적인 농업에 관하여 보다 더 많은 관심을 기울여야 할 것이다. 선진농가들은 기술이나 경영 혁신을 위하여 연구 개발을 위한 정보의 수집과 연구회의 필요성을 크게 강조하고 있었다. 그러나 이러한 선진 농가 이외에 소규모의 농업소득이 낮은 농가도 있었다. 이러한 농가에게는 농업경영에 대한 방향 설정과 추진 방법에 대한 적절한 상담 상대가 없는 것으로 보였다. 이러한 농가들에 대한 시의적절한 정보의 전달, 자력으로 기술과 경영 방책을 만들어내는 힘을 길러주는 지도가 필요하다. 이를 위한 방책으로 그룹의 육성과 가입 촉진이 유효할 것이다. 따라서 한국에 있어서 농촌지도 방법은 크게 두 가지 대상을 의식하여 대 선진농가의 경우에 는 상담 기능, 대 소규모 농가의 청우에는 전달 ${\cdot}$ 교육 기능의 발휘에 있을 것이다. 상담 기능은 정보의 제공과 과도하지 않은 방책을 선택 할 수 있도록 지도 조언하는 것이, 전달 ${\cdot}$ 교육 기능은 과제해결 과정을 체득하게 하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 인터넷의 활용 방법, e-메일에 의한 정보교환 시스템화 등의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 인원의 감소나 겸무화의 진행에 따라 이러한 업무의 수행이 쉬운 것은 아니라고 생각되고, 일 대 일의 지도는 어려울 것이나 집단 지도로는 가능한 측면도 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70$\pm$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32$\pm$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500, 550, 570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500, 550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100, 300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs. The purpose of this study is to identify major geometrical differences between Korean femurs 3nd others that we believe belong to Caucasians so that we would be able to get insights into the femoral component design that fits Asians including Koreans. We utilized computerized tomography (CT) images of femurs extracted from cadavers. The CT images were transformed into bitmap data by using a film scanner, and then analyzed by using a commercially available software called Image v.1.0 and a Macintosh IIci computer.The resulting data were compared with already published data. The major results show that the geometry of the Korean femurs is significantly different from that of Caucasians: (1) the anteversion angle and the canal flare index are greater by the amount of approximately 8˚ and 0.5, respectively, (2) the shape of the isthmus cross section is more round, and (3) the distance between the teaser trochanter and the proximal border of the isthmus is shelter by about 15 mm. The results suggested that the femoral component suitable for Asians should be different from the currently-used components designed and manufactured mostly by European or American companies. 30537 T00401030537 ^x It is well known that nonlinear propagation characteristics of the wave in the tissue may give very useful information for the medical diagnoisis. In this paper, a new method to detect nonlinear propagation characteristics of the internal vibration in the tissue for the low frequency mechanical vibration by using bispectral analysis is proposed. In the method, low frequency vibration of f0( = 100Hz) is applied on the surface of the object, and the waveform of the internal vibration x (t) is measured from Doppler frequency modulation of silmultaneously transmitted probing ultrasonic waves. Then, the bispectra of the signal x (t) at the frequencies (f0, f0) and (f0, 2f0) are calculated to estimate the nonlinear propagation characteristics as their magnitude ratio, w here since bispectrum is free from the gaussian additive noise we can get the value with high S/N.

And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6~13 times higher than that of the microspheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin).The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined. 30575 T00401030575 ^x A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique.

Trans-formation from temporal summation to two-dimensional mappings is formed by 4 nearest point inter-polaton method. Methods of representation of BEAM are two. One is dot density method which classify brain electrical potential 9 levels by dot density of gray levels and the other is colour method which classify brain electrical 12 levels by red-green colours. In this BEAM, instantaneous change and average energy distribution over any arbitrary time interval of brain electrical activity could be observed and analyzed easily. In the frequency domain, the distribution of energy spectrum of a special band can easily be distinguished normality and abnormality. 30608 T00401030608 ^x Laboratory information system (LIS) is a key tool to manage laboratory data in clinical pathology.

The authors suggests that this system based on down-sized computer could provide a progressive approach to total LIS based on local area network, and the implemented system could serve as a model for other hospital's LIS for routine hematology. 30609 T00401030609 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. To use as the structural matrix of the composite, collagen was purified from human umbilical cord. The obtained collagen was treated by pepsin to remove telopeptides, and finally, the immune-free atelocollagen was produced: The cross linked atelocollagen was highly resistant to the collagenase induced collagenolysis. The cross linked collagen demonstrated an improved tensile strength. 30618 T00401030618 ^x This paper is a study on the design of adptive filter for QRS complex detection. We propose a simple adaptive algorithm to increase capability of noise cancelation in QRS complex detection with two stage adaptive filter. At the first stage, background noise is removed and at the next stage, only spectrum of QRS complex components is passed. Two adaptive filters can afford to keep track of the changes of both noise and QRS complex. Each adaptive filter consists of prediction error filter and FIR filter The impulse response of FIR filter uses coefficients of prediction error filter. The detection rates for 105 and 108 of MIT/BIH data base were 99.3% and 97.4% respectively. 30619 T00401030619 ^x To develop an artificial bone substitute that is gradually degraded and replaced by the regenerated natural bone, the authors designed and produced a composite that is consisted of calcium phosphate and collagen. Human umbilical cord origin pepsin treated type I atelocollagen was used as the structural matrix, by which sintered or non-sintered carbonate apatite was encapsulated to form an inorganic-organic composite. With cross linking atelocollagen by UV ray irradiation, the resistance to both compressive and tensile strength was increased. Collagen degradation by the collagenase induced collagenolysis was also decreased. 30620 T00401030620 ^x We have developed a monoleaflet polymer valve as an inexpensive and viable alternative, especially for short-term use in the ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. The frame and leaflet of the polymer valve were made from polyurethane, To evaluate the hemodynamic performance of the polymer valve a comparative study of flow dynamics past a polymer valve and a St. Jude Medical prosthetic valve under physiological pulsatile flow conditions in vitro was made. Comparisons between the valves were made on the transvalvular pressure drop, regurgitation volume and maximum valve opening area. The polymer valve showed smaller regurgitation volume and transvalvular pressure drop compared to the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. The results showed that the functional characteristics of the polymer valve compared favorably with those of the mechanical valve at higher heart rate. 30621 T00401030621 ^x Explosive evaporative removal process of biological tissue by absorption of a CW laser has been simulated by using gelatin and a multimode Nd:YAG laser. Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3, 000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

The wall shear stress in the vicinity of end-to end anastomoses under steady flow conditions was measured using a flush-mounted hot-film anemometer(FMHFA) probe. The experimental measurements were in good agreement with numerical results except in flow with low Reynolds numbers. The wall shear stress increased proximal to the anastomosis in flow from the Penrose tubing (simulating an artery) to the PTFE: graft. In flow from the PTFE graft to the Penrose tubing, low wall shear stress was observed distal to the anastomosis. Abnormal distributions of wall shear stress in the vicinity of the anastomosis, resulting from the compliance mismatch between the graft and the host artery, might be an important factor of ANFH formation and the graft failure. The present study suggests a correlation between regions of the low wall shear stress and the development of anastomotic neointimal fibrous hyperplasia(ANPH) in end-to-end anastomoses. 30523 T00401030523 ^x Air pressure decay(APD) rate and ultrafiltration rate(UFR) tests were performed on new and saline rinsed dialyzers as well as those roused in patients several times. C-DAK 4000 (Cordis Dow) and CF IS-11 (Baxter Travenol) reused dialyzers obtained from the dialysis clinic were used in the present study. The new dialyzers exhibited a relatively flat APD, whereas saline rinsed and reused dialyzers showed considerable amount of decay. C-DAH dialyzers had a larger APD(11.70${\pm}$1.32mmHg/min)compared to CF dialyzers(4.32${\pm}$0.55mmHg/min)(p<0.05). However, there was no observable difference in the UFR between the two dialyzers. Neither APD nor UFR showed any significant increase with an increasing number of reuses for up to more than 20reuses. A substantial number of failures observed in APD(larger than 20mmHe/min)on the reused dialyzers(2 out of 40 CP and S out 26 C-DAK) were attributed to the Possible damage on the fibers. The CF 15-11 HFDs which failed APD test did not show changes in the UFR compared to normal dialyzers indicating that APD is a more sensitive test than UFR test to evaluate the integrity of the fibers. 30527 T00401030527 ^x For quantitative measurement of reflected light from a clinical diagnostic strip, a prototype old reflectance photometer was designed. The strip loader and cassette were made to obtain more accurate reflectance parameters. The strip was illuminated at 45˚c through optical fiber and the intensity of reflected light was determined at rectanguLat angle using a photodiode. The kubelka-munk coefficient and reflection optical density were determined ar four different wavelengths(500,550,570 and 610nm) for blood glucose strip. For higher concentration than 300mg/41 about glucose, a saturation state of abforbance was observed at 500,550 and 570nm. The correlation between glucose concentration and parameters was the best at 610nm. 30535 T00401030535 ^x Radiation-induced fibrosarcoma tumors were grown on the flanks of C3H mice. The mice were divided into two groups. One group was injected with Photofrin II, intravenously (2.5mg/kg body weight). The other group received no Photofrin II. Mice from both groups were irradialed for approximately 15 minutes at 100,300, or 500 mW/cm2 with the argon (488nm/514.5 nm), dye(628nm) and gold vapor (pulsed 628 nm) laser light. A photosensitizer behaved as an added absorber. Under our experimental conditions, the presence of Photolfrin II increased surface temperature by at least 40% and the temperature rise due to 300 mW/cm2 irradiation exceeded values for hyperthermia. Light and temperature distributions with depth were estimated by a computer model. The model demonstrated the influence of wavelength on the thermal process and proved to be a valuable tool to investigate internal temperature rise. 30536 T00401030536 ^x We investigated the structural geometry of thirty-eight Korean femurs.

Because the point of maximun temperature of laser-irradiated gelatin exists below the surface due to surface cooling, evaporation at the boiling temperature is made explosively from below the surface. The important parameters of this process are the conduction loss to laser power absorption (defined as the conduction-to-laser power parameter, Nk), the convection heat transfer at the surface to conduction loss (defined as Bi), dimensionless extinction coefficient (defined as Br.), and dimensionless irradiation time (defined as Fo). Dependence of Fo on Nk and Bi has been observed by experiment, and the results have been compared with the numerical results obtained by solving a 2-dimensional conduction equation. Fo and explosion depth (from the surface to the point of maximun temperature) are increased when Nk and Bi are increased.To find out the minimum laser power for explosive evaporative removal process, steady state analysis has been also made. The limit of Nk to induce evaporative removal, which is proportional to the inverse of the laser power, has been obtained. 30622 T00401030622 ^x N1 and N2 gross neural action potentials were measured from the round window of the guinea pig cochlea at the onset of the acoustic stimuli. N1-N2 audiograms were made by means of regulating stimulant intensities in order to produce constant N1-N2 potentials as criteria for different input tone pip frequencies. The lowest threshold was measured with an input tone pip I5 dB SPL in intensity and 12 KHz in frequency when the animal was in normal physiological condition. The procedure of experimental measurements is explained in detail. This experimental approach is very useful for the investigation of the Cochlear function. Both noN1inear and active functions of the Cochlea can be monitored by N1-N2 audiograms. 30623 T00401030623 ^x In electrical impedance tomography(EIT), we use boundary current and voltage measurements toprovide the information about the cross-sectional distribution of electrical impedance or resistivity. One of the major problems in EIT has been the inaccessibility of internal voltage or current data in finding the internal impedance values. We propose a new image reconstruction method using internal current density data measured by NMR. We obtained a two-dimensional current density distribution within a phantom by processing the real and imaginary MR images from a 4.77 NMR machine. We implemented a resistivity mage reconstruction algorithm using the finite element method and sensitivity matrix. We presented computer simulation results of the mage reconstruction algorithm and furture direction of the research. 30624 T00401030624 ^x A new method of digital image analysis technique for discrimination of cancer cell was presented in this paper. The object image was the Thyroid eland cells image that was diagnosed as normal and abnormal (two types of abnormal: follicular neoplastic cell, and papillary neoplastic cell), respectively. By using the proposed region segmentation algorithm, the cells were segmented into nucleus. The 16 feature parameters were used to calculate the features of each nucleus. A9 a consequence of using dominant feature parameters method proposed in this paper, discrimination rate of 91.11% was obtained for Thyroid Gland cells. 30625 T00401030625 ^x An electrical stimulator was designed to induce locomotion for paraplegic patients caused by central nervous system injury. Optimal stimulus parameters, which can minimize muscle fatigue and can achieve effective muscle contraction were determined in slow and fast muscles in Sprague-Dawley rats. Stimulus patterns of our stimulator were designed to simulate electromyographic activity monitored during locomotion of normal subjects. Muscle types of the lower extremity were classified according to their mechanical property of contraction, which are slow muscle (msoleus m.) and fast muscle (medial gastrocneminus m., rectus femoris m., vastus lateralis m.). Optimal parameters of electrical stimulation for slow muscles were 20 Hz, 0.2 ms square pulse. For fast muscle, 40 Hz, 0.3 ms square pulse was optimal to produce repeated contraction. Higher stimulus intensity was required when synergistic muscles were stimulated simultaneously than when they were stimulated individually. Electrical stimulation for each muscle was designed to generate bipedal locomotion, so that individual muscles alternate contraction and relaxation to simulate stance and swing phases. Portable electrical stimulator with 16 channels built in microprocessor was constructed and applied to paraplegic patients due to lumbar cord injury. The electrical stimulator restored partially gait function in paraplegic patients. 30626 T00401030626 ^x Two-Dimensional modelling of the Cochlear biomechanics is presented in this paper. The Laplace partial differential equation which represents the fluid mechanics of the Cochlea has been transformed into two-dimensional electrical transmission line. The procedure of this transformation is explained in detail. The comparison between one and two dimensional models is also presented. This electrical modelling of the basilar membrane (BM) is clearly useful for the next approach to the further. Development of active elements which are essential in the producing of the sharp tuning of the BM. This paper shows that two-dimension model is qualitatively better than one-dimensional model both in amplitude and phase responses of the BM displacement. The present model is only for frequency response. However because the model is electrical, the two-dimensional transmission line model can be extended to time response without any difficult. 30627 T00401030627 ^x A method has been proposed for the fully automatic detection of left ventricular endocardial boundary in 2D short axis echocardiogram using geometric model. The procedure has the following three distinct stages. First, the initial center is estimated by the initial center estimation algorithm which is applied to decimated image. Second, the center estimation algorithm is applied to original image and then best-fit elliptic model estimation is processed. Third, best-fit boundary is detected by the cost function which is based on the best-fit elliptic model. The proposed method shows effective result without manual intervention by a human operator. 30628 T00401030628 ^x The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan's method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements. 30638 T00401030638 ^x A new neural network architecture for the recognition of patterns from images is proposed, which is partially based on the results of physiological studies. The proposed network is composed of multi-layers and the nerve cells in each layer are connected by spatial filters which approximate receptive fields in optic nerve fields. In the proposed method, patterns recognition for complicated images is carried out using global features as well as local features such as lines and end-points. A new generating method of matched filers representing global features is proposed in this network. 30659 T00401030659 ^x An implementation scheme of the magnetic nerve stimulator using a switching mode power supply is proposed. By using a switching mode power supply rather than a conventional linear power supply for charging high voltage capacitors, the weight and size of the magnetic nerve stimulator can be considerably reduced. Maximum output voltage of the developed magnetic nerve stimulator using the switching mode power supply is 3,000 volts and switching time is about 100 msec. Experimental results or human nerve stimulations using the developed stimulator are presented. 30768 T00401030768 ^x In this paper, we describe the design methodology and specifications of the developed module-based bedside monitors for patient monitoring. The bedside monitor consists of a main unit and module cases with various parameter modules. The main unit includes a 12.1" TFT color LCD, a main CPU board, and peripherals such as a module controller, Ethernet LAN card, video card, rotate/push button controller, etc. The main unit can connect at maximum three module cases each of which can accommodate up to 7 parameter modules. They include the modules for electrocardiograph, respiration, invasive blood pressure, noninvasive blood pressure, temperature, and SpO2 with Plethysmograph.

제조 중소기업들은 지속적인 성장과 생존을 위해 새로운 제품 개발에 필요한 많은 정보가 필요할 뿐만 아니라 자원의 한계를 극복하기 위한 네트워킹(networking)을 추구하지만, 규모의 한계로 인해 한계점에 봉착하게 된다. 초연결성으로 인해 비즈니스 환경의 복잡성과 불확실성이 더욱 높아지는 새로운 시대에 중소기업은 신속한 정보 확보와 네트워킹 문제를 해결이 더욱 절실해지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 공공기관인 정부출연(연)구기관(이하 '출연(연)')은 중소기업의 정보 비대칭성 문제를 해결해야하는 중요한 임무와 역할을 맞이하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비즈니스 인텔리젼스의 경쟁 지능화(competitive intelligence) 기능과 외부 네트워크 활성화를 위한 서비스 인프라(service infrastructure)의 기능을 포함한 공공 정보지원 인프라를 통한 간접지원의 성과를 확산하고자 하는 목적으로 출연(연)이 중소기업의 혁신역량 제고를 위해 제공하는 공공 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 중소기업의 차별적 특징을 파악하고, 인프라가 기업의 성과에 어떻게 기여하는 가를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 첫째, 출연(연)이 제공한 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 제조 중소기업은 다른 중소기업과 어떤 차별적인 특정이 있는가? 라는 연구 질의를 도출하였다. 추가적으로 단순히 선택적 편의 여부를 판단하는 것을 넘어서 출연(연) 정보지원 인프라를 활용한 제조 중소기업의 특징을 복수 집단의 특징과 비교하는 연구를 진행하였다. 둘째, 출연(연)이 제공하는 정보지원 인프라를 활용한 제조 중소기업의 외부 네트워킹 역량이 제품 경쟁력에 어떻게 기여했는가? 라는 연구 질의이다. 본 연구에서 공공 정보지원 인프라에 의해서 강화된 외부 네트워킹 역량이 어떻게 제품 경쟁력에 영향을 미쳤는지 정밀하게 분석하기 위해 복수의 변수에 대한 매개 및 조절 효과 분석을 수행하였다. 연구 모형을 도출하기하기 위해 첫째, 외부 네트워킹이 기술혁신성과에 영향력에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 일반적으로 기업들은 외부 네트워킹(networking) 전략을 통해 혁신에 필요한 가치 있는 정보를 획득할 수 있기 때문에 기술혁신성과를 높일 수 있다. 정보 획득은 중소 제조기업 경영자의 혁신에 대한 인식을 강화할 뿐만아니라, 의사결정을 효율적으로 하여 경쟁력을 강화시킬 수 있게 된다. 대기업에 비해 인력과 자금의 규모 한계를 극복하기 위해 중소기업은 외부 조직과의 협력관계를 보다 적극적으로 추구한다. 둘째, 기술사업화 역량이 기술혁신성과에 미치는 관계에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 기술사업화는 생산과 마케팅을 통합하여 새로운 기술을 만드는 역량을 말한다. 우수한 생산 역량을 보유한 기업은 소비자의 수요를 가격, 품질, 신기능 측면에서 신속하게 충족시킬 수 있어 시장내 경쟁우위를 창출하고, 그 결과로 높은 재무적 혁신적 성과를 가져온다고 본다. 혁신적인 기업은 생산 역량과 마케팅 역량에서 일반 기업보다 높은 성과를 나타내는데, 기술혁신성과의 대표 지표로 제품 경쟁력을 지목하고 있다. 마지막으로 기업의 규모가 작을수록 새로운 혁신 정보를 확보할 수 있는 자체 정보지원 인프라가 없는 경향이 있다. 중소기업용 정보인프라는 기업의 제품 또는 서비스 역량을 강화하기 위한 전략에 필요한 중요한 정보를 확보할 수 있어야 하며, 데이터에 대한 해석 기능이 있어야 하고, 기업의 성장과 발전을 위한 다양한 주제(대기업, 공급자, 소비자 등)와의 협력 전략을 수립을 도울 수 있는 기능이 요구된다. 종합하면, 연구모형은 외부 네트워킹 역량(독립변수)이 기술혁신성과인 제품 경쟁력(종속변수)에 영향을 주는 기본 모형에 기술사업화 역량을 매개요인으로 적용하였고, 이들의 관계에 기업의 내부역량(연구원 집중도, 매출액, 업력)이 영향을 줄 수 있기 때문에 기업의 내부역량과 관련된 변수들을 통제하였다. 또한 KISTI가 제공한 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용한 기업별 역량 차이를 분석하기 위해, 정보지원 인프라 활용(효율성)과 관련된 KISTI 외부 기술사업화 전문가(멘토링) 정보지원 횟수의 조절 변수로 고려하였다. 본 연구에서 활용한 데이터 원천은 2차 정보인 '제8차 중소기업 기술통계조사' 자료와 1차 정보인 KISTI의 직접 설문 자료다. '제8차 중소기업 기술통계조사' 는 중소기업청과 중소기업중앙회에서 공동으로 매년 실시되고 있으며, 설문 조사의 모집단은 종사자수 5인 이상 300인 미만인 제조업 및 제조업 외 기업 중에서 기술개발을 수행하고 있는 중소기업 43,204개사이다. 이 중에서 2014년 12월 31일 현재 기준으로 기술개발을 수행하고 있는 3,300개 중소기업을 표본추출하여 방문조사를 실시하여 수집한 자료이다. 본 연구에서 KISTI의 정보지원 인프라를 통해 지원받은 290개의 KISTI 패밀리 기업(ASTI)을 대상으로 2017년에 전자 메일을 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 송부된 290개의 설문지 중 222개의 기업에서 회신을 보내왔으며 그 중에서 설문 내용이 유효한 설문 조사는 149건으로 활용율은 51.3%였다. 분석 결과에 대한 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 규모면에서는 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용 제조 중소기업(ASTI 설문 집단)과 R&D 중소기업(KBIZ 설문 집단)의 성향은 통계적으로 유의미하게 차이가 있었지만, 보다 많은 변수를 종합적으로 보면 크게 다르지 않은 집단이라고 판단했다. 공공 정보지원 인프라를 활용하는 제조 중소기업은 이미 출연(연)과 협업이 가능한 집단을 대표하는 성향 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 외부 네트워킹 역량 강화가 제품 경쟁력 제고에 기여하는데 있어서 기술사업화 역량(마케팅 및 생산 역량)이 가지는 매개 효과의 가능성을 탐색하기 위해서 먼저 통제 변수는 고려하지 않고, Baron과 Kenny(1986)의 매개 효과 분석을 수행했다. 분석결과 외부 네트워크 역량 강화 효과가 제품 경쟁력을 강화시키는 것으로 보였지만, 실제는 기술사업화 역량의 제고를 통해 제품 경쟁력을 강화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 공공 정보지원 인프라 활용의 효과성을 판단하기 위한 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 조절효과 분석을 위해 3단계의 위계적 회귀분석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 외부 네트워킹 역량과 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 상호작용항이 혁신성과(제품 경쟁력)에 유의한 영향을 미쳤을 뿐 아니라, 모델의 설명력도 증가하여, 멘토링 정보지원 횟수의 조절 효과가 검증되었다. 마지막으로 앞서 확인된 복수 매개효과와 조절효과가 동시에 나타날 수 있는 가능성을 판단하기 위해서 매개된 조절효과를 검토했다. 분석결과 외부 네트워킹 역량이 높아지면 제품 경쟁력 제고에 양의 영향을 주지만, 조절 변수인 멘토링 지원 횟수가 높아질수록 그 영향은 오히려 약화되었다. 그리고 외부 네트워킹 역량이 높아지면 사업화 역량(마케팅과 생산)이 높아져서 제품 경쟁력이 높아지며, 조절변수인 멘토링 지원 횟수가 높아지면 독립변수 외부 네트워킹 역량이 매개변수 생산 역량에 미치는 역량이 작아졌다. 종합하면, 외부 네트워킹 역량의 제고는 제품 경쟁력을 높이는데 기여하는데, 직접적 기여하지는 않지만 마케팅과 생산 역량을 높여 간접적으로 기여한다(완전 매개 효과). 또한 이 과정에서 멘토링의 정보적 지원 횟수는 외부 네트워킹 역량 제고가 생산 역량을 제고하는 매개효과에 영향을 준다(순수 조절 효과). 그러나 멘토링 정보 지원 횟수는 마케팅 역량 제고와 제품경쟁력에 별다른 조절 효과를 보이진 않는 것으로 나타났다. 연구를 통한 시사점은 다음과 같다. KISTI의 정보지원 인프라는 서비스 활용 마케팅이 이미 잘 진행되고 있다는 결론을 이끌 수도 있지만, 반면에 시장의 정보 불균형을 해소하는 공공적 기능보다는(열위 기업 지원) 성과가 잘 도출될 수 있는 집단을 지원해서(의도적 선택적 편의) 성과가 잘 나타나도록 관리하고 있다는 결론에 이를 수 있다. 연구 결과를 통해서 우리는 공공 정보지원 인프라가 어떻게 제품경쟁력 제고에 기여하는지 확인했는데, 여기서 우리는 다음과 같은 몇 가지 정책적 시사점을 도출할 수 있다. 첫째, 정보지원 인프라는 분석된 정보뿐만아니라 이 정보를 제공하는 기관(또는 전문가)과 지속적인 교류나 이런 기관을 찾는 역량을 높이는 기능이 있어야 한다. 둘째, 공공 정보지원 (온라인) 인프라의 활용이 효과적이라면 병행적인 오프라인 지원인 정보 멘토링이 지속적으로 제공될 필요는 없으며, 오히려 멘토링과 같은 오프라인 병행 지원은 성과 제고보다는 이상징후 감시에 적절한 장치로 활용되어야 한다. 셋째, 셋째, 공공 정보지원 인프라를 통한 네트워킹 역량 제고와 이를 통한 제품경쟁력 제고 효과는 특정 중소기업에서 나타나기 보다는 대부분 형태의 기업에서 나타나기 때문에, 중소기업이 활용 능력을 제고할 노력이 요구된다.
