데이타 스트림이란 실시간에 연속적으로 빠르게 생성되는 데이타 집합을 의미한다. 이러한 데이타 스트림들은 최근 사회가 발달과 더불어 정보 환경도 급속도로 발전함에 따라 센서 데이타, 교통상황 수집 자료, 웹 클릭 모니터링 등과 같은 많은 응용 분야에서 적용되고 있다. 이러한 형태의 데이트 스트립을 처리하기 위해서는 미리 등록된 질의에 대하여 새롭게 들어오는 스트림 데이타의 결과를 계속적으로 생성하게 된다. 이와 같은 이유로 끊임없이 들어오는 스트링 데이타들을 빠르게 처리하는 것이 이 분야에서 주된 이슈가 되었으며, 이를 위한 방법으로 등록된 질의들을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 질의 최적화분야에 많은 연구가 있었다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 기존 연구에서 사용되었던 그리디 방법을 기반으로 비용 모델을 이용하여 최소의 비용을 갖는 질의 계획을 선택하는 확장된 그리디 방법(EGA)을 제시한다. 화장된 그리디 방법은 알고리즘의 정확성이 떨어지는 그리디 알고리즘의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 비용이 가장 작은 연산하나를 선택하는 대신 비용이 자은 연산들의 집합을 선택한다. 이 연산들의 집합의 크기는 알고리즘의 정확성과 수행 시간에 영향을 끼치며, 투 개의 변수에 의해서 적응적으로 조절 수 있다. 실험에서는 다양한 스트림 환경에서 대부분 그리디 알고리즘보다 향상된 성능을 보장하고, 두 변수에 의한 알고리즘의 성능 및 수행 시간 차이를 보여줌으로써 본 알고리즘의 효율성을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 간단한 일반균형 중첩세대모형을 사용하여 공적연금의 거시경제적 영향에 대한 정성적(qualitative) 분석 결과를 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이는 분석적인(analytical) 방법으로 균형을 찾고 그 성질을 탐구하는 것이 불가능하여 다양한 형태의 수치 분석적 기법을 동원하는 기존 선행연구들이 제시하고 있는 정량적(quantitative) 분석의 결과를 이론적으로 해석할 수 있는 기제를 마련한다는 차원에서 의미를 가지는 것으로 평가된다. 본 연구는 우선 논의의 단순화를 위해 확정급여(defined benefit)형 부과방식(pay-as-you-go) 공적연금체제하의 2세대 일반균형 중첩세대모형을 제시하고 이로부터 명시적인 균형해를 도출한다. 다음으로 본 연구에서는 공적연금의 존재 및 그로 인한 이전재원규모의 증감, 고령화를 비롯한 경제활동인구의 감소 등과 같은 상황이 경제의 자본 축적 및 자본의 기대수익률에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 더불어 기본모형의 신용제약 존재 여부, 그리고 확정기여(defined contribution)형 부과방식 혹은 적립방식(funded system) 공적연금의 도입에 따른 거시경제적 영향을 논의한다. 그 결과 공적연금의 도입 및 이전재원규모의 증가는 자본 축적에 부정적인 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인하였다. 다음으로 고령화의 진전이 자본 축적에는 부정적인 결과를 초래하지만 자본의 기대 수익률에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 확정적인 결론을 내릴 수 없었음을 발견하였다. 다만, 위험자산, 즉 자본에 지급되는 위험 프리미엄이 고령화가 가속화되는 시기에는 커지는 반면 고령화의 진전이 더디어지는 시기에는 작아진다는 결과를 도출함으로써 고령화에 따른 자산시장 붕괴(meltdown) 현상의 발생가능성을 배제할 수는 없으나 부과방식 공적연금하에서는 그 가능성이 그리 크지 않을 수도 있음을 확인하였다. 한편, 확정급여형에 비하여 확정기여형의 공적연금이 시장에서 거래되는 위험자산인 자본 축적을 구축하는 경향이 더 크다는 사실을 확인하였는데, 이는 저축의 주체인 청년층이 확정기여형 공적연금의 수급권을 자본과 대체관계를 형성하는 대안적 위험자산으로 인식하기 때문인 것으로 나타났다.

연구배경 : 수면 무호흡증후군은 수면시 반복적인 무호흡이 발생하여 일련의 심폐계통의 변화가 초래되는 질환으로 이중 동맥혈 산소포화도(arterial oxygen saturation, 이하 $SaO_2$)의 감소와 심부정맥의 발생이 임상적으로 중요한 소견이다. 무호흡시 $SaO_2$의 감소양상은 환자마다 다양하며 이는 호흡정지 기간, 호흡정지시의 산소공급원인 폐용량 및 개체의 산소소모율에 따라 결정될 것으로 예상된다. 방법 : 호흡정지와 재개시에 수반되는 $SaO_2$ 및 심박수(heart rate, 이하 HR)의 변동양상을 관찰하고, 그 변동에 관련되는 생리학적 인자들을 알아보고자 정상 남자 8명 및 정상 여자 9명 등 총 17명을 대상을 폐용량 측정, 동맥혈 가스분석을 시행하고 Harris-Benedict 식에 의거한 기초대사율을 산출한 뒤 총폐용량(total lung capacity, 이하 TLC), 기능적 잔기량(functional residual capacity, 이하 FRC) 및 잔기량(residual volume, 이하 RV) 상태에서 호흡정지를 시킨 후, $SaO_2$의 변동과 심전도를 측정기록하였다. 결과 : 호흡정지시 $SaO_2$가 기저치로부터 2% 감소하는데 걸린 시간(T2%)은 TLC, FRC 및 RV 에서 각각 $70.1{\pm}14.2$초 $44.0{\pm}11.6$초 및 $33.2{\pm}11.1$초로 TLC보다는 FRC 에서(p<0.05), FRC보다는 RV에서(p<0.05) 유의하게 단축되었다. T2%까지 호흡정지한 뒤 호흡재개시 $SaO_2$의 추가 감소는 RV에서 $4.3{\pm}2.1%$로서, TLC의 $1.4{\pm}1.0%$나 FRC의 $1.9{\pm}1.4%$ 보다 감소량이 컸고(각각 p<0.05), 최저 $SaO_2$치에서 기저치로의 회복에 걸린 시간은 TLC, FRC 및 RV에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. T2%는 각각의 폐용량 혹은 기초대사율과 유의한 상관관계는 없었으나, TLC/BMR(r=0.693, p<0.001) 및 FRC/BMR(r=0.615, p<0.025)과는 각각 유의한 상관관계를 보였고, RV/BMR(r=0.027, p>0.05)과는 유의한 상관관계가 없었다. 호흡정지와 재개의 전 과정에서 생긴 최대심박수와 최초심박수의 차이는 TLC에서 $27.5{\pm}9.2$회/분, FRC 에서 $19.1{\pm}6.0$회/분, RV에서 $26.4{\pm}14.0$회/분으로 FRC에서의 심박수 변화량이 TLC나 RV에서의 변화량보다 유의하게 적었고(각각 p<0.05), 기록상 호흡재개 시점을 전후한 5개씩의 p-p간격의 평균치는 TLC에서 $0.84{\pm}0.10$초와 $0.72{\pm}0.09$초(p<0.025), FRC에서 $0.82{\pm}0.11$초와 $0.73{\pm}0.09$초(p<0.025), RV에서 $0.77{\pm}0.09$초와 $0.72{\pm}0.09$초(p<0.05)로 모두 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론 : 정상인에서 FRC이상에서 호흡정지시 $SaO_2$의 감소속도는 폐용량/기초대사율과 밀접한 상관관계를 보이고, 호흡정지-재개의 과정에서 생기는 동성부정맥은 FRC상태가 제일 작고 미주신경활성도의 변화가 관여하는 것으로 추정되며, RV에서의 실험결과로 미루어 수면 무호흡증후군 환자들에서 체위, 혹은 복부비만에 기인하는 기능적 잔기량의 감소가 저산소혈증의 정도나 심부정맥의 발생에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 필요하고, 수면시의 기능적잔기량을 증가시키는 것이 치료적 유용성이 있는지에 대한 검증도 필요하리라고 사료된다.

배경: 비디오흉강경수술은 최근 기기의 급속한 발달로 인해 많은 흉부 질환에 적용되고 있으며, 자연기흉에 대한 적절한 치료법으로 제시되고 있지만 개흉술에 비해 높은 재발율이 문제점으로 거론되고 있으며, 수술후 재발에 대한 장기 추적관찰이 미흡한 실정이다. 대상 및 방법: 고대 안암병원 흉부외과에서는 비디오흉강경이 도입된 1992년 3월부터 1997년 3월까지 288명의 자연기흉 환자에 대해서 292례의 비디오흉강경수술을 시행하였다. 수술후 추적 관찰한 결과와 재발에 관여하는 인자를 전향적으로 분석하였다. 개흉술로의 전환례 8례는 제외하였다. 결과: 남자 249명(88.9%), 여자 31명(11.1%)이었으며, 나이는 평균 28.1 12.2세(15~69세)였다. 원발성 자연기흉이 237명(83.5%), 이차성 자연기흉이 47명(16.5%)였으며 이차성 자연기흉 중에서는 결핵성이 27명(57.5%)으로 가장 많았다. 수술 적응증으로는 동측 재발성 기흉이 123명(43.9%)과 지속적 공기누출 53명(18.9%)으로 대부분을 차지하였으며, 그외 흉부촬영상 폐기포가 존재한 경우 40명(14.3%), 긴장성 기흉 30명(10.7%), 반대측 기흉 21명(7.5%), 양측성 기흉 3명(1.1%), 합병증이 동반된 경우 2명(0.7%), 그리고 환자나 보호자가 원한 경우가 8명(2.9%)이였다. 흉강경수술시 폐기포가 관찰된 경우 247례(87%)였다. 244례(85.9%)에서 폐기포절제술이 시행되었다. 평균 수술시간은 52.8 23.1분(20~165분)이었다. 술후 합병증으로 5일 이상 공기누출이 16례이었으며, 이중 4례에서 재수술이 필요하였으며 전례에서 폐기포가 다시 발견되었다(100%, 4/4). 출혈이 5례 있었으며 이중 3례에서 재수술이 필요하였다. 그외 무기폐 2례, 농흉 5례, 창상감염 1례가 병발되었으며 술후 사망례는 없었다. 평균 흉관거치기간은 5.0 4.5일(2~37일), 평균 입원일은 8.2 5.5\ulcorner(3~43일)이었다. 평균 22.3 18.4개월(1~65개월)의 추적 관찰기간 동안 12례가 누락됐으며(4.2%), 24례(8.5%,)가 재발하였다. 이중 7명의 경우 재수술이 필요하였으며 6례에서 폐기포가 재발견되었다(85.7%, 6/7). 12개의 요인(나이, 성별, 기흉의 위치, 기흉의 정도, 원인질환 유무, 수술 적응증, 폐기포의 수, 폐기포의 크기, 폐기포의 위치, 폐기포절제 유무, 흉막유착술 방법, 술후 지속성 공기누출 유무)가 재발에 관여하는 지에 대해 분석하였다. 원인질환 유무, 흉막유착술 방법과 술후 지속성 공기누출 유무가 재발에 관여하는 위험요인으로 나타났다. 이차성인 경우가 원발성인 경우보다 재발율이 높았고[17.0%(8/47) : 6.8% (16/237), p=0.038], 술후 지속적 공기누출이 있었던 경우 재발율이 높았으며[37.5%(6/16) : 6.7%(18/268), p=0.001], 기계적 흉막유착술이 흉막절제술보다 재발율이 높았다[11.4%(19/167) : 4.3%(5/117), p=0.034]. 폐기포절제술을 시행한 경우가 하지않은 경우보다 재발율이 낮았으나 통계학적 의의는 없었다[10.0%(4/40) : 8.2%(20/244), p>0.05]. 결론: 비디오흉강경술에서 재발을 낮추기 위해 수술시 폐야 전체를 관찰하여 존재하는 폐기포를 놓치지 않는 것이 중요하며, 폐기포를 확인하지 못한 경우와 이차성 자연기흉에 대해서는 흉막유착술에 더 세심한 주의가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 비디오흉강경수술은 통증이 적고, 입원기간이 짧고, 사회로의 복귀가 빠르며, 고위험군에 적용할 수 있고, 무엇보다도 미용상의 이점이 크다는 면에서 자연기흉에 대해 유용한 치료방법임에는 틀림이 없으나 개흉술에 비해 재발율이 높고 비용이 비싸다는 문제가 제기되고 있는 만큼 더 세심한 주의와 장기 추적관찰이 필요하리라 사료된다.

Background: Cardiac arrest is one of the most critical diseases which can likely lead to severe cerebral disability or brain death when the cases can not recover their circulation within 10 minutes. Saving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases is a recent concern in Korea. Resuscitation has become an important multidisciplinary branch of medicine, demanding a spectrum of skills and attracting a plethora of specialities and organizations. The best survival can be achieved if all the following links have been optimized : rapid access, and early CPR, defibrillation and ACLS, Since the "Utstein Style" was advocated in 1991, many reports about out-of-hospital cardiac arrest have been published based on this guideline. These differences prevent valid inter-hospital and international comparisons. However, it is not known how effective resuscitation has become to the patients. In other words, there are no guidelines for reviewing, reporting, and conducting research on resuscitation in Korea. This dissertation aims to provide the basic data for a unified reporting guideline of resuscitation in Korea and evaluating the out-of-hospital factors associated with survival discharge of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods: As for this study, uses the collected data about Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests at 4 area, from January, 2005 to April. 2005. With a retrospective study, 174 cases were analyzed. The data was recorded based on the Out-of-Hospital Utstein Style. Results: Resuscitation was performed on 174 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases at the 4 area 14 patients(8.1%) recovered their spontaneous circulation. Overall, the ROSC of the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients was 8.1%, which was poorer than that of western countries. Gender distribution was 50 females(28.7%) and 124 males(71.3%), approximately twice as many males as females. ROSC of witnessed arrests was found out to be 97.7%. The ratio of the witnessed arrest groups showed higher results than that of unwitnessed arrest groups in the above-examined cases. Cardiac etiology consisted of cardiac(33.5%), non-cardiac(45.7%), trauma(20.1%), and unknown(6.0%). Cardiac was the best performance. Initial rhythm showed Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation in 8 patients(6.0%), asystole in 100(75.2%) and unknown in 25(18.8%). The results of the Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation showed higher results than the others cases, The proportion of the cardiogenic cause was 33.5%, which was only half of western countries. Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation is relatively rare. These differences were due to the prevalent pattern of Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest as well as prematurity of the EMSS. Bystander CPR was practiced on 13 patients(7.52%). ROSC was shown in 46.2% cases. CPR by EMT was carried out on 167 cases(96.5%). ACLS by EMf was rare. From collapse, 4 cases(2.6%) arrived to ED within 6 minutes. 13 (8.6%) within 10 minutes, and 49(32.5%) over 31 minutes. The sooner the patients arrived, the greater the ratio of ROSC and discharged alive became, and the same with collapse time to ROSC. As the results of the logistic regression analysis, ROSC was found out to be highly influenced by the time of ED arrival from collapse and Ventricular Tachycardia/pulseless Ventricular Fibrillation. Therefore, the ratio of ROSC depends on not any single factor but various intervention factors. Conclusion: This dissertation presents the following suggestions and directions of the study hereafter. First, the first step for a chain of survival should be taken to activate EMSS early with a phone as soon as cardiac arrests are witnessed. Second, it is keenly needed that emergency medical technicians should be increased through emergency education for living. Third, it is necessary to establish the emergency transportation system. Fourth, most of the Koreans have little understanding of EMT and the present operation systems have many problems, which should be fundamentally changed. Fifth, it is required to have an active medical control over Out-of-hospital CPR, And proper psychological supports should be given not only to patients themselves and their family but also individuals who are engaged in emergency situation. Finally, through studies hereafter on nationwide, comprehensive, and standard forms, it is needed to examine into the biological figures of human body, causes and trends of cardiac arrests, and then, to enhance the survival rate of Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Korean guidelines for Cardiopulmonary resuscitation need to be made.

도시공원은 시민들의 건강, 삶의 질, 그리고 커뮤니티 형성을 지원하는 사회적 기반시설이다. 조성된 후 20년 이상이 지난 도시공원 비중이 커지고 있는 가운데, 노후 도시공원의 물리적 공간환경 개선과 기능 제고를 위한 정비사업 추진 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 관 주도의 노후 도시공원 정비는 재원 확보와 공원 매력 증진 측면에서 한계가 있기 때문에 민·관 협력을 통한 추진이 필요하다. 우리나라에 앞서 노후 도시공원 문제를 겪은 일본은 2017년 「도시공원법」 개정을 통해 공모설치관리제도(Park-PFI)를 도입하여 다수의 공원 정비사업을 성공적으로 추진 중이다. 이에 본 연구는 민·관 협력을 통해 국내 노후 도시공원 서비스의 질을 개선하고, 지속적으로 관리·운영하기 위한 대안으로서 일본 공모설치관리제도(Park-PFI)의 특성을 다각적으로 검토·분석하고, 이를 국내 노후 도시공원에 시범 적용한 후, Park-PFI 적용을 통한 노후 도시공원 재정비사업의 타당성을 분석하고자 하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 일본의 공모설치관리제도(Park-PFI)는 노후 도시공원의 서비스 질 향상과 기능 다양화를 위한 민·관 협력 수단으로 국내 여건에 맞춰 도입하는 것에 대한 논의를 시작할 필요가 있겠다. Park-PFI의 국내 도입을 위해서는 민간 자본 및 수익시설 설치에 따른 도시공원의 공공성 저하와 장소성 훼손, 공원녹지법 및 공유재산법 등 관련 규제 개선 등에 관한 사회적 논의와 후속 연구가 필요하겠다. 둘째, 노후 도시공원의 정비 필요도가 높고, 사업을 추진하기에 적합한 입지라는 전제하에 Park-PFI 사업은 시민, 지자체, 민간 사업자 모두의 편익을 증진시킬 수 있는 정책 대안이라고 판단된다. 인천광역시 부평구에 위치한 노후 도시공원인 세영공원에 Park-PFI 사업을 시범 적용한 결과, 수익성지수(PI), 순현재가치(FNPV), 내부수익률(FIRR) 등의 측면에서 수익성이 있는 것으로 분석되어 민간 부문의 사업 참여가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 지자체 차원에서도 민간 자본을 활용하여 노후 도시공원의 물리적 공간환경을 정비하는 것은 물론 민간 사업자의 시설 사용료와 수익의 일부(연매출의 0.5%)를 환원받음으로써 발생하는 재원을 활용하여 해당 도시공원의 유지관리 예산을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

When we think of fundamental problems of the aquaculture industry, there are several strict conditions, and consequently the aquaculture industry is forced to change. Fish aquaculture has a structural supply surplus in production, aggravation of fishing grounds, stagnant low price due to recent recession, and drastic change of distribution circumstances. It is requested for us to initiate discussion on such issue as “how fish aquaculture establishes its status in the coastal fishery\ulcorner, will fish aquaculture grow in the future\ulcorner, and if so “how it will be restructured\ulcorner” The above issues can be observed in the mariculture of yellow tail, sea scallop and eel. But there have not been studied concerning seabream even though the production is over 30% of the total production of fish aquaculture in resent and it occupied an important status in the fish aquaculture. The objectives of this study is to forecast the future movement of sea bream aquaculture. The first goal of the study is to contribute to managerial and economic studies on the aquaculture industry. The second goal is to identify the factors influencing the competition between production areas and to identify the mechanisms involved. This study will examine the competitive power in individual producing area, its behavior, and its compulsory factors based on case study. Producing areas will be categorized according to following parameters : distance to market and availability of transportation, natural environment, the time of formation of producing areas (leaderㆍfollower), major production items, scale of business and producing areas, degree of organization in production and sales. As a factor in shaping the production area of sea bream aquaculture, natural conditions especially the water temperature is very important. Sea bream shows more active feeding and faster growth in areas located where the water temperature does not go below 13∼14$^{\circ}C$ during the winter. Also fish aquaculture is constrained by the transporting distance. Aquacultured yellowtail is a mass-produced and a mass-distributed item. It is sold a unit of cage and transported by ship. On the other hand, sea bream is sold in small amount in markets and transported by truck; so, the transportation cost is higher than yellow tail. Aquacultured sea bream has different product characteristics due to transport distance. We need to study live fish and fresh fish markets separately. Live fish was the original product form of aquacultured sea bream. Transportation of live fish has more constraints than the transportation of fresh fish. Death rate and distance are highly correlated. In addition, loading capacity of live fish is less than fresh fish. In the case of a 10 ton truck, live fish can only be loaded up to 1.5 tons. But, fresh fish which can be placed in a box can be loaded up to 5 to 6 tons. Because of this characteristics, live fish requires closer location to consumption area than fresh fish. In the consumption markets, the size of fresh fish is mainly 0.8 to 2kg.Live fish usually goes through auction, and quality is graded. Main purchaser comes from many small-sized restaurants, so a relatively small farmer and distributer can sell it. Aquacultured sea bream has been transacted as a fresh fish in GMS ,since 1993 when the price plummeted. Economies of scale works in case of fresh fish. The characteristics of fresh fish is as follows : As a large scale demander, General Merchandise Stores are the main purchasers of sea bream and the size of the fish is around 1.3kg. It mainly goes through negotiation. Aquacultured sea bream has been established as a representative food in General Merchandise Stores. GMS require stable and mass supply, consistent size, and low price. And Distribution of fresh fish is undertook by the large scale distributers, which can satisfy requirements of GMS. The market share in Tokyo Central Wholesale Market shows Mie Pref. is dominating in live fish. And Ehime Pref. is dominating in fresh fish. Ehime Pref. showed remarkable growth in 1990s. At present, the dealings of live fish is decreasing. However, the dealings of fresh fish is increasing in Tokyo Central Wholesale Market. The price of live fish is decreasing more than one of fresh fish. Even though Ehime Pref. has an ideal natural environment for sea bream aquaculture, its entry into sea bream aquaculture was late, because it was located at a further distance to consumers than the competing producing areas. However, Ehime Pref. became the number one producing areas through the sales of fresh fish in the 1990s. The production volume is almost 3 times the production volume of Mie Pref. which is the number two production area. More conversion from yellow tail aquaculture to sea bream aquaculture is taking place in Ehime Pref., because Kagosima Pref. has a better natural environment for yellow tail aquaculture. Transportation is worse than Mie Pref., but this region as a far-flung producing area makes up by increasing the business scale. Ehime Pref. increases the market share for fresh fish by creating demand from GMS. Ehime Pref. has developed market strategies such as a quick return at a small profit, a stable and mass supply and standardization in size. Ehime Pref. increases the market power by the capital of a large scale commission agent. Secondly Mie Pref. is close to markets and composed of small scale farmers. Mie Pref. switched to sea bream aquaculture early, because of the price decrease in aquacultured yellou tail and natural environmental problems. Mie Pref. had not changed until 1993 when the price of the sea bream plummeted. Because it had better natural environment and transportation. Mie Pref. has a suitable water temperature range required for sea bream aquaculture. However, the price of live sea bream continued to decline due to excessive production and economic recession. As a consequence, small scale farmers are faced with a market price below the average production cost in 1993. In such kind of situation, the small-sized and inefficient manager in Mie Pref. was obliged to withdraw from sea bream aquaculture. Kumamoto Pref. is located further from market sites and has an unsuitable nature environmental condition required for sea bream aquaculture. Although Kumamoto Pref. is trying to convert to the puffer fish aquaculture which requires different rearing techniques, aquaculture technique for puffer fish is not established yet.

As an official journal of the Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies (AAAP), the Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences (AJAS) was born in February 1987 and the first issue (Volume 1, Number 1) was published in March 1988 under the Editorship of Professor In K. Han (Korea). By the end of 2001, a total of 84 issues in 14 volumes and 1,761 papers in 11,462 pages had been published. In addition to these 14 volumes, a special issue entitled "Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition" (April, 2000) and 3 supplements entitled "Proceedings of the 9th AAAP Animal Science Congress" (July, 2000) were also published. Publication frequency has steadily increased from 4 issues in 1988, to 6 issues in 1997 and to 12 issues in 2000. The total number of pages per volume and the number of original or review papers published also increased. Some significant milestones in the history of the AJAS include that (1) it became a Science Citation Index (SCI) journal in 1997, (2) the impact factor of the journal improved from 0.257 in 1999 to 0.446 in 2000, (3) it became a monthly journal (12 issues per volume) in 2000, (4) it adopted an English editing system in 1999, and (5) it has been covered in "Current Contents/Agriculture, Biology and Environmental Science since 2000. The AJAS is subscribed by 842 individuals or institutions. Annual subscription fees of US$ 50 (Category B) or US$ 70 (Category A) for individuals and US$ 70 (Category B) or US$ 120 (Category A) for institutions are much less than the actual production costs of US$ 130. A list of the 1,761 papers published in AJAS, listed according to subject area, may be found in the AJAS homepage (http://www.ajas.snu.ac.kr) and a very well prepared "Editorial Policy with Guide for Authors" is available in the Appendix of this paper. With regard to the submission status of manuscripts from AAAP member countries, India (235), Korea (235) and Japan (198) have submitted the most manuscripts. On the other hand, Mongolia, Nepal, and Papua New Guinea have never submitted any articles. The average time required from submission of a manuscript to printing in the AJAS has been reduced from 11 months in 1997-2000 to 7.8 months in 2001. The average rejection rate of manuscripts was 35.3%, a percentage slightly higher than most leading animal science journals. The total number of scientific papers published in the AJAS by AAAP member countries during a 14-year period (1988-2001) was 1,333 papers (75.7%) and that by non- AAAP member countries was 428 papers (24.3%). Japanese animal scientists have published the largest number of papers (397), followed by Korea (275), India (160), Bangladesh (111), Pakistan (85), Australia (71), Malaysia (59), China (53), Thailand (53), and Indonesia (34). It is regrettable that the Philippines (15), Vietnam (10), New Zealand (8), Nepal (2), Mongolia (0) and Papua New Guinea (0) have not actively participated in publishing papers in the AJAS. It is also interesting to note that the top 5 countries (Bangladesh, India, Japan, Korea and Pakistan) have published 1,028 papers in total indicating 77% of the total papers being published by AAAP animal scientists from Vol. 1 to 14 of the AJAS. The largest number of papers were published in the ruminant nutrition section (591 papers-44.3%), followed by the non-ruminant nutrition section (251 papers-18.8%), the animal reproduction section (153 papers-11.5%) and the animal breeding section (115 papers-8.6%). The largest portion of AJAS manuscripts was reviewed by Korean editors (44.3%), followed by Japanese editors (18.1%), Australian editors (6.0%) and Chinese editors (5.6%). Editors from the rest of the AAAP member countries have reviewed slightly less than 5% of the total AJAS manuscripts. It was regrettably noticed that editorial members representing Nepal (66.7%), Mongolia (50.0%), India (35.7%), Pakistan (25.0%), Papua New Guinea (25.0%), Malaysia (22.8%) and New Zealand (21.5%) have failed to return many of the manuscripts requested to be reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief. Financial records show that Korea has contributed the largest portion of production costs (68.5%), followed by Japan (17.3%), China (8.3%), and Australia (3.5%). It was found that 6 AAAP member countries have contributed less than 1% of the total production costs (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Thailand), and another 6 AAAP member countries (Mongolia, Nepal and Pakistan, Philippine and Vietnam) have never provided any financial contribution in the form of subscriptions, page charges or reprints. It should be pointed out that most AAAP member countries have published more papers than their financial input with the exception of Korea and China. For example, Japan has published 29.8% of the total papers published in AJAS by AAAP member countries. However, Japan has contributed only 17.3% of total income. Similar trends could also be found in the case of Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. A total of 12 Asian young animal scientists (under 40 years of age) have been awarded the AJAS-Purina Outstanding Research Award which was initiated in 1990 with a donation of US$ 2,000-3,000 by Mr. K. Y. Kim, President of Agribrands Purina Korea Inc. In order to improve the impact factor (citation frequency) and the financial structure of the AJAS, (1) submission of more manuscripts of good quality should be encouraged, (2) subscription rate of all AAAP member countries, especially Category B member countries should be dramatically increased, (3) a page charge policy and reprint ordering system should be applied to all AAAP member countries, and (4) all AAAP countries, especially Category A member countries should share more of the financial burden (advertisement revenue or support from public or private sector).

This study analyzes the effect of Computer Aided Innovation (CAI) to improve R&D Capabilities empirically. Survey was distributed by e-mail and Google Docs, targeting CTO of 235 SMEs. 142 surveys were returned back (rate of return 60.4%) from companies. Survey results from 119 companies (83.8%) which are effective samples except no-response, insincere response, estimated value, etc. were used for statistics analysis. Companies with less than 50billion KRW sales of entire researched companies occupy 76.5% in terms of sample traits. Companies with less than 300 employees occupy 83.2%. In terms of the type of company business Partners (called 'partners with big companies' hereunder) who work with big companies for business occupy 68.1%. SMEs based on their own business (called 'independent small companies') appear to occupy 31.9%. The present status of holding IT system according to traits of company business was classified into partners with big companies versus independent SMEs. The present status of ERP is 18.5% to 34.5%. QMS is 11.8% to 9.2%. And PLM (Product Life-cycle Management) is 6.7% to 2.5%. The holding of 3D CAD is 47.1% to 21%. IT system-holding and its application of independent SMEs seemed very vulnerable, compared with partner companies of big companies. This study is comprised of IT infra and IT Utilization as CAI capacity factors which are independent variables. factors of R&D capabilities which are independent variables are organization capability, process capability, HR capability, technology-accumulating capability, and internal/external collaboration capability. The highest average value of variables was 4.24 in organization capability 2. The lowest average value was 3.01 in IT infra which makes users access to data and information in other areas and use them with ease when required during new product development. It seems that the inferior environment of IT infra of general SMEs is reflected in CAI itself. In order to review the validity used to measure variables, Factors have been analyzed. 7 factors which have over 1.0 pure value of their dependent and independent variables were extracted. These factors appear to explain 71.167% in total of total variances. From the result of factor analysis about measurable variables in this study, reliability of each item was checked by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient. All measurable factors at least over 0.611 seemed to acquire reliability. Next, correlation has been done to explain certain phenomenon by correlation analysis between variables. As R&D capabilities factors which are arranged as dependent variables, organization capability, process capability, HR capability, technology-accumulating capability, and internal/external collaboration capability turned out that they acquire significant correlation at 99% reliability level in all variables of IT infra and IT Utilization which are independent variables. In addition, correlation coefficient between each factor is less than 0.8, which proves that the validity of this study judgement has been acquired. The pair with the highest coefficient had 0.628 for IT utilization and technology-accumulating capability. Regression model which can estimate independent variables was used in this study under the hypothesis that there is linear relation between independent variables and dependent variables so as to identify CAI capability's impact factors on R&D. The total explanations of IT infra among CAI capability for independent variables such as organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability are 10.3%, 7%, 11.9%, 30.9%, and 10.5% respectively. IT Utilization exposes comprehensively low explanatory capability with 12.4%, 5.9%, 11.1%, 38.9%, and 13.4% for organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability respectively. However, both factors of independent variables expose very high explanatory capability relatively for technology-accumulating capability among independent variable. Regression formula which is comprised of independent variables and dependent variables are all significant (P<0.005). The suitability of regression model seems high. When the results of test for dependent variables and independent variables are estimated, the hypothesis of 10 different factors appeared all significant in regression analysis model coefficient (P<0.01) which is estimated to affect in the hypothesis. As a result of liner regression analysis between two independent variables drawn by influence factor analysis for R&D capability and R&D capability. IT infra and IT Utilization which are CAI capability factors has positive correlation to organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, technology-accumulating capability, and collaboration capability with inside and outside which are dependent variables, R&D capability factors. It was identified as a significant factor which affects R&D capability. However, considering adjustable variables, a big gap is found, compared to entire company. First of all, in case of partner companies with big companies, in IT infra as CAI capability, organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, and technology capability out of R&D capacities seems to have positive correlation. However, collaboration capability appeared insignificance. IT utilization which is a CAI capability factor seemed to have positive relation to organization capability, process capability, human resources capability, and internal/external collaboration capability just as those of entire companies. Next, by analyzing independent types of SMEs as an adjustable variable, very different results were found from those of entire companies or partner companies with big companies. First of all, all factors in IT infra except technology-accumulating capability were rejected. IT utilization was rejected except technology-accumulating capability and collaboration capability. Comprehending the above adjustable variables, the following results were drawn in this study. First, in case of big companies or partner companies with big companies, IT infra and IT utilization affect improving R&D Capabilities positively. It was because most of big companies encourage innovation by using IT utilization and IT infra building over certain level to their partner companies. Second, in all companies, IT infra and IT utilization as CAI capability affect improving technology-accumulating capability positively at least as R&D capability factor. The most of factor explanation is low at around 10%. However, technology-accumulating capability is rather high around 25.6% to 38.4%. It was found that CAI capability contributes to technology-accumulating capability highly. Companies shouldn't consider IT infra and IT utilization as a simple product developing tool in R&D section. However, they have to consider to use them as a management innovating strategy tool which proceeds entire-company management innovation centered in new product development. Not only the improvement of technology-accumulating capability in department of R&D. Centered in new product development, it has to be used as original management innovative strategy which proceeds entire company management innovation. It suggests that it can be a method to improve technology-accumulating capability in R&D section and Dynamic capability to acquire sustainable competitive advantage.
