We measure and compare externalities of IT and R&D capital stocks in different Korean industry sectors using inter-industry input-output tables of 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000. We also compute the multiplier effects that relate to the directions of future economic effects. The key findings are as follows. First, we observed continuous capital deepening in all nine industries over the period of 1985 to 2000. Second, the backward multipliers of IT capital were the highest in the manufacturing industry. As for inter-industry externalities, the indirect backward multipliers, which exclude intra-industry backward multiplier effects within the industry, were also the highest in the manufacturing industry. Third, the forward multiplier effects of IT capital stock were the most substantial in the construction industry during the 1980s and in the manufacturing industry thereafter. Finally, using the transition multiplier matrix reflecting the backward effects of the two capitals in the past, the economic backward effects, especially the external economic effects, are predicted to increase through 2010 among all industries. The above findings suggest that, in order to maximize the forward and backward effects of the ever-increasing IT capital, we need to formulate an industry policy reducing the cost of capital accumulation in the manufacturing industry through improvement in productivity of the IT industry.

DME (Di-Methyl Ether) is a new clean fuel and an environmental-friendly energy resource, also is recently increasing with an alternative interest because of the industrial use. DME has been shown to have excellent properties as a diesel fuel giving emission level better than ULEV standard. So it has been attracting considerable as an alternative diesel fuel. In this study, we carried out simulation of separation and purification process of demo plant for 101on per day DME production, which cause the effect that is important in productivity, from operation results of pilot plant for 50kg per day DME production. The liquefied stream, which was separated by gas-liquid separator after DME reactor, includes $CO_2$, DME, Methanol and $H_2O$. We established three distillation columns for separation and purification of the stream. $CO_2$ was extracted from the stream by first distillation column, DME was extracted by second column and Methanol was extracted by third column. We investigated and analyzed the effect which the actual operation variables cause in efficiency of process and optimized process, finally we got the DME of purity $100\%$.

A three-dimensional physical part can be fabricated from a three-dimensional digital model in a layer-wise manner via additive manufacturing (AM) technology, which is different from the conventional subtractive manufacturing technology. Numerous studies have been conducted to take advantage of the AM opportunities to penetrate bespoke custom product markets, functional engineering part markets, volatile low-volume markets, and spare part markets. Nevertheless, materials issues, machines issues, product issues, and qualification/certification issues still prevent the AM technology from being extensively adopted in industries. The present study briefly reviews the standard classification, technological structures, industrial applications, technological advances, and qualification/certification activities of the AM technology. The economics, productivity, quality, and reliability of the AM technology should be further improved to pass through the technology adoption lifecycle of innovation technology. The AM technology is continuously evolving through the introduction of PM materials, hybridization of AM and conventional manufacturing technologies, adoption of process diagnostics and control systems, and enhanced standardization of the whole lifecycle qualification and certification methodology.

Crucial aspects to successfully realizing the re-emergence of a contemporary and sustainable supercomputing community in South Korea will involve the devoted efforts and support from key government and R&D organizations. We suggest various supplementation plans regarding the roles of support for the statutory plan. This includes the committee and the plans which are often missing necessary support systems that help competent ministries to plan properly according to the missions of the research center. This dissertation suggests that adjustment in the HPC trends will depend upon exposing and correcting problems in the law as well as overall improvement of the law. Also, the total development of a super computing market is necessary. The results of these guidelines will create a spread of demand for supercomputing for national IT resource sharing, and will foster the development of supercomputer specialists worldwide. Other major end results include significant increases in research productivity and increased rates of product development.

Recently, the automobile industry has continued to demand lighter materials owing to international environmental regulations and increased convenience. To address this demand, aluminum parts have increased in popularity and are mainly developed and produced through hot forging and cold pressing. However, because this method has low yield and low production efficiency, a new manufacturing method is desirable. In this study, the water capacity efficiency of an aluminum inner tie rod socket was investigated using cold forging that provided a high yield and excellent production efficiency. Mechanical properties were derived through tensile testing of 6110A aluminum materials, and critical fracture factor and process analysis based on experimental data were carried out. The optimized process was applied as a prototype using cold multi-stage forging, and based on the derived results, the formability, productivity, and material efficiency of aluminum inner tie rod socket parts using this cold forging process was verified.

Smart livestock, which combines information and communication technology (ICT) with livestock, can be said to be an effective solution to existing livestock problems such as productivity improvement, odors, and diseases. So far, it has hardly been universalized; thus, it is necessary to develop automation devices to reduce labor by localizing automation devices to expand the distribution of ICT technology to farms, and to advance precise specifications and health management technology using biometric information. Weighing scales currently being used in livestock farms are to prevent the spread of diseases by diagnosis and preparation for AI and other diseases in advance, using information on the growing weight of duck breeding. However, accurate values cannot be obtained due to poor breeding conditions. In this paper, we developed a separate data transmission system kit for the weighing scale and placed the sensor on top of the weighing scale so that the sensor wire is not affected by pollutants or ducks on the floor. A display function was provided, and a method of receiving and analyzing the serial port data of the weighing device, and then transmitting them to the data collection server was implemented.

Total profit level Increases if a company increase the cost for achieving R&D related goals of equipment productivity enhancement, production cost saving, or for achieving equipment scale target, sales volume goal. But how much money should be invested to achieve a certain level of profit? We formulated the model to set the optimal goal levels to minimize the investment cost under the constraint that certain level of total profit should be guaranteed. This model derived from a case of P steel company. We found that this should be considered in relation with the production sales planning (known as optimal product mix problem) to guarantee the profit. We suggested a nonlinear programming model, 3 valiant form of the p+roduct mix problem. We can find the optimal Investment level for the R&D related goals or sales volume goal, equipment scale target for the P steel company using the model.

A bacterial strain NO. 32 which produced thermostable ${\alpha}$-amylase was isolated from soil and identified to genus of Bacillus. To enhance ${\alpha}$-amylase productivity, a successive mutation of Bacillus sp. No. 32 was attempted with treatment of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG). The resulting mutant, Bacillus sp. No. 32H417, which is risistant to refampicin and deficient in spore formation, produced about 90-fold high level of ${\alpha}$-amylase when compared with parental strain. The properties of the enzyme for thermostability were investigated. The optimal temperature and pH for enzyme reaction were 95$^{\circ}C$ and pH6.5, respectively, in the presence of 0.3mM $Ca^{2+}$ as an effective stabilizer.

Currently, advanced countries invest lots of efforts to develop improvement of electric power production and supply, confronting environmental problems and new energy development. They set up long term plan focusing on electric power transmission infrastructure construction technology, establishment of the customer care service network using electric technologies, improvement of economic productivity by innovative electric technology, prevention of global warming gas and clean and efficient energy use etc. Comparing to those countries, the level of technologies that we have are in behind and moreover, technological resources are limited. Therefore, Korea is required to reconsider efficient distribution of R&D investment by concentrating on limited R&D resources to important technologies which could be stepping stone to gain competitive advantage. It can be done through comparative analysis of electric technologies among advanced countries and analysis of electric technology development policy.
