The purpose of this study is to construct the evaluation model for the major science research facilities and equipments to enhance the competitiveness of the science and technology and also to test the reliability and validity of the model. To achieve the purposes, this study theoretically reviews the concept of the major science research facilities and equipments and their characteristics. Through a review of literature, this study draws 11 criteria for evaluating the priorities of the major science research facilities and equipments. These criteria are categorized as two dimensions - 'science & technology' and 'national policy'. The dimension of science & technology includes scientific importance, technological readiness, utilization rate, common utilization rate, and ability of management and operation. The national policy dimension contains degree of correspondence with national science development, imperativeness of national policy, science and technical effectiveness, economic and industrial effectiveness, responsiveness of research demand, and equity among the related institutions. The competitiveness of the science and technology consists of these two dimensions. The evaluation model is established on the framework of criteria. The 18 major science research facilities and equipments are selected through a series of Delphi. The survey of experts (BT, ET, IT, NT and ST) is also implemented to evaluate the 18 major science research facilities and equipments by 11 criteria. The overall results indicate that the reliability and validity of the model are good. The reliability tests show that the five indicators of science & technology and the six indicators of national policy have high internal consistencies. The confirmatory factor analyses reveal that the two constructs - 'science & technology' and 'national policy' - have high convergent and discriminant validity. The correlational analyses also show that the criteria-related validity between them is high. Furthermore, the results of higher order factor analysis indicate that the fit indices of the model are high and suggest a good fit to the data. Based on these findings, the policy implications of the model are discussed.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the level of market size and market share of domestic research equipments for analyzing the difference of the number and amount of construction by the manufacturing countries in the basic and analytical science fields based on the information of the research equipment invested by the Korean government for the past 14 years. As of January 1 2019, from 2005 to 2018, 20,687 research facilities & equipments (main equipment with a construction cost of 30 million won or more) built in the basic and analytical science fields were selected for this study and their components, standard classification, number of construction, and amount of construction by country of manufacture were analyzed. Differences of the number and amount of construction among manufacturing countries were tested using a single sample chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance, followed by Bonferroni's post-hoc test. As a result of this study, the number of construction (p<.001) and construction amount (p<.05) were statistically different for each manufacturing country. The level of market size and market share was significantly different according to the equipment standard classification (p<.05). Therefore, differentiated strategies of the government and policy research projects will be required for each type of equipment and amount in order to support the policy for the localization of research equipment.

The AC power lines and signal lines of info-communication networks are routed on overhead poles and are highly exposed to lightning strikes. Due to the potential difference between grounding points of AC power lines and signal lines, the electronic equipments connected to the signal lines can easily be damaged by lightning surges. In this work, in order to develop reliable methods of protecting information and communication facilities from lightning surges, the reliability and performance of SPDs (surge protective devices) were experimentally investigated in an actual-sized test circuit. The behaviors of SPDs against lightning surges from AC power lines and signal lines and the coordinated effects of SPD installation methods were evaluated. As a consequence, it was confirmed that the bypass arrester methods and common grounding system are both highly effective.
