The world's leading industrialized nations are improving their national science and technology capacity through the continuous expansion of national R&D investment and the improvement of performance in accordance with the trend of the fourth industrial revolution. As rapid technological development following technological convergence necessitates a preemptive response to a new paradigm, the importance of securing high technology that affects the national competitiveness is increasing day by day. Core technologies and future new technologies that affect national competitiveness can be seen as a measure to upgrade the nation's innovative capabilities. In particular, the core technologies and future new technologies to prepare for changes in a security environment and future battlefields are very important in the defense sector that develops weapons systems. In the defense sector, the core technologies based on the military weapons systems are identified, and future new technologies that use the best technologies of the private sector for national defense, not on the needs of develops weapons systems, are derived. This study examined the characteristics of core technology and future new technology of defense ground unmanned systems, conducted a comparative study through empirical analysis, and concluded that strategic technology planning and research and development are needed according to the core technology and future new technology characteristics.

In Korea, the emission standards for air pollutants will be more tighten from Jan. 2005. Especially, the new emission standards is focused on the nitrogen oxide. From this trend of standards, nitrogen oxide emission is hot issue in energy fields. Also, we have a new environmental problem, the carbon dioxide emission, which are related to the global warming. To solve the environmental problems, we must define the situation of clean-up technologies level in Korea and decide the direction of R&D for flue gas cleaning technologies. Now, this paper discus briefly on the De-NOx R&D activities and the large scale testing facility for flue gas clean-up technologies in Korea Institute of Energy Research. These discussions are contribute to the increasing of the R&D activities for flue gas clean-up technologies in Korea.

The rising pace of technological change in information and communications technology (ICT) has provoked technological convergence by providing a new mode of diversification. This paper investigates the nature of ICT-based converging technologies by examining comparative empirical evidence on converging versus nonconverging technologies in relation to the following issues: patent application trends, concentration across technologies, the concentration of patenting activity across firms, R&D efforts, and a technology impact index. For this study, a new operational definition of ICT-based converging technology is derived, and a massive quantity of patents, up to around 600,000, is analyzed. This study follows the International Patent Classification as well as the modified European Commission's industry classification system for the classification of technologies and industries, respectively.

Technological capabilities of POSCO (Pohang Iron & Steel Co.) have been developed through acquisition, catch-up, and generation stage. In 1970s standardized operation technologies were acquired based on Japan's technological cooperation. The prime route of technological acquisition was overseas training and operation technologies were articulated by mock and real operation. In 1980s POSCO focused to catch-up advanced technologies through in-house R&D activities. Technological informations were broadly accumulated, task force teams were constructed for important technological tasks, and the scope of technological innovation covered nearly all fields. In 1990s POSCO launched long-term projects based on the large-scale investment and challenged the new fronts of steel technologies. Frontier technologies such as smelting reduction and thin slab casting were early commercialized and new technological concepts were emerged. In conclusion, this article suggests some implications on the development of technological capabilities in Korea.

In the course of this article, the concept of "innovation" was considered and analyzed, which is considered not only as a subject, something new, but also as a process. The process of introducing something new into life, and in our case, into the educational process. Innovative educational technologies are varied and plentiful. In this article, the most commonly used. Among them: the use of ICT, game techniques, the portfolio method, personality-oriented, information support of the learning process, educational and health-saving technologies, and others.

For the past 50 years, graphite has been widely used as a moderator, reflector and fuel matrix in different kinds of gas-cooled reactors. Resulting in approximately 250,000 metric tons of irradiated graphite waste. One of the most significant long-lived radioisotope from graphite reactors is carbon-14 ($^{14}C$) with a half-life of 5730 years, this makes it a huge concern for deep geologic disposal of nuclear graphite (NG). Considering the lifecycle of NG a number of waste management options have been developed, mainly focused on the achievement the radiological requirements for disposal. The existing approaches for recycling depend on the cost to be economically viable. In this new study, an affordable process to remove $^{14}C$ has been proposed using samples taken from the Nuclear Power Plant in Latina (Italy) which have been used to investigate the capability of organic and inorganic solvents in removing $^{14}C$ from exfoliated nuclear graphite, with the aim to design a practicable approach to obtain graphite for recycling or/and safety disposed as L& LLW.

Purpose: In recent years, several new attempts have been made to offer products and services based on servitization and customization for comparative advantage and customer satisfaction. Apparently, these attempts are empowered by new digital technologies. Therefore, this study aims to present new business cases with features of digital transformation era in Korea on the perspective of new quality dimensions. Methods: The study approaches the subject by presenting a number of recent business cases in multiple fields in Korea. All cases are analyzed and compared with "10 Quality Dimensions" and several related implications such as servitization, customization, digitalization and differentiated value. Results: The results of this study are as follows; the common core quality dimensions of case are customization, aesthetic and convenience. Furthermore, the critical role of technology is deduced as the core quality dimensions are built on new digital technologies. Lastly, businesses in the age of digital transformation must focus on the core performance of their products and services for customer satisfaction while delivering new core quality dimensions. Conclusion: Recent digital technologies are capable to realize servitization and empower companies to provide differentiated and customized products, services, and experience to their customers. However, it is significant to retain other factors for customer satisfactions rather than customization.

While prior work has noted the importance of knowledge creation in gaining competitive advantages, much less is understood about why firms do not actually use what they create. Building upon institutional approaches to organization studies, we offer a new framework to explain the gap between knowledge creation and utilization. We test our framework in an empirical context of sustainable innovation and environmental technologies where ideas of environmental sustainability have recently gained public popularity and shaped how interested audiences make evaluative assessments of firms. In such a context, firms are apt to perceive the social attention toward sustainability to be a normative pressure, which causes them to create new knowledge and develop technologies consistent with the pressure. Using data from the government-initiated certification system for green technologies, our study finds that firms do not always fully implement new environmental technologies they develop in response to the certification program, the situation we refer to as knowledge decoupling. We also examine a set of conditions under which knowledge decoupling becomes more or less amplified. Taken together, our findings show how a firm's knowledge creation and utilization is shaped by its external institutional environment as well as internal learning processes.
