  • Information and telecommunication technology are causing revolutionary changes in society and its institutions. It is especially more so in the field of science and technology (S&T). Extraordinary advances in microelectronics have fueled this information revolution, and S&T scholarly communication are changing rapidly and dramatically because of it as are the needs of science and technology information users. To seek pertinent scientific and technical information (STI) is a complex matter in this electronic digitalized age of information environment. Before we meet information needs of scientists and engineers effectively, we must know the Purpose for their seeking the information, the type of information they sought, and what we have been providing to satisfy their needs.(omitted)

  • Korean researchers' scientific outputs are increasing rapidly with the growth of both Korea's economy and industry size. This is the time to analyze the scientific output (STEM area) of Korea over the last 40 years. For this analysis, this study used the SCIE database of Web of Science (WoS), which is a representative global Citation Index Service. The objects of analysis are every Korean document published in the SCIE journal, and the research scopes are (1) analysis of citation and subject categories and (2) analysis of co-authorship. Through this study, characteristics such as cited trend and research trend by subject, and the status of collaboration between Korea and other countries including the 50 states of the USA were revealed.

  • The ability to judge a country's scientific standing is vital for the governments and businesses that must decide scientific priorities and funding. In this paper, we analyze the output and outcomes from research investment over the recent years, to measure the quality of scientific research on national scales and to set it in an international context. There are many ways to evaluate the quality of scientific research, but few have proved satisfactory. To measure the quantity and quality of science in different nations, we analyzed the numbers of published research papers and their citations. The number of citations per paper is a useful measure of the impact of a nation's research output. Essential at a were acquired from SCI database by Thomson Scientific, which indexes more than 8,000 journals, representing most significant materials in science and engineering. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare the output and outcomes among nations in a variety of viewpoints and criteria. One of the implications in response to the result of analysis is that sustainable economic development in highly competitive world markets requires a direct engagement in the generation of knowledge. Even modest improvement in healthcare, clean water, sanitation, food, and transport need capabilities in engineering, technology, and medicine beyond many countries' reach. Nations exporting natural resources such as gold and oil can import technology and expertise, but only until these resources are exhausted. For them, sustainability should imply investment in alternative agricultural and technological capabilities through improvements in their skills base. A strong science base does not necessarily leat to wealth generation. However, strength in science has additional benefits for individual nations, and for the world as a whole.

  • The systematic data management system in the area of river flow analysis has not yet constructed, even though the need is evident due to the complicated process of tremendous input/output data in the modeling study and the importance of visualization of spatial flow variation. The objectives of this study are to suggest the method for constructing the NGIS-based river database based on contour, river, elevation, boundary layers and river cross sections and to provide the algorithm for interpolating equi-distance river cross section points. The selected study area is the main Han River starting from Paldang dam site to Indogyo bridge. The constructed database will be useful for the scientific water flow management system in the study area.

  • Objective & Method : To identify current state of bee venom therapy(BVT) research as a treatment of autoimmune diseases, we reviewed the PubMed electronic database. 9 articles with clinical implications were discussed. Results : BVT is reported as effective in the treatment of such autoimmune related diseases as rheumatoid arthritis and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus in animal experiment, The lack of evidence on BVT as a treatment of multiple sclerosis deters us from reaching any determination. There also lacks firm evidences of immune response regulative or anti inflammatory mechanism of BVT. No clinicla trial was found. Conculsion : This review raises the urgent need of study to provide scientific and clinical evidences.

  • 최근 컴퓨터 응용이 우주 항공, 천체 기상, 환경 관리, 공장 자동화(FA) 등의 분야로 확산되면서 물리, 화학, 생물, 기계 등의 과학 응용에서 생성되는 자료를 처리하는 기법에 대한 요구가 늘어나고 있다. 이들 과학 응용에서는 물리적 실험 장치나 측정 기계, 또는 시뮬레이션으로부터 데이터를 시간별로 측정(또는 수집)하므로 이들 과학 데이터는 시간에 종속된 데이터이다. 많은 과학 응용의 시간 지원 데이터는 과학 분야의 특성에 따라 매우 정밀한 시간 단위로 수집하기도 하고 실험 시작부터 경과된 상대적인 시간에 따라 데이터를 수집한다. 달력상의 시간을 사용하는 기존의 시간지원 데이터베이스는 과학 응용의 이러한 특징을 지원하지 못한다. 따라서 이 논문에서는 과학 실험 응용에서 요구하는 시간에 대한 특징과 요구 사항을 분석하고, 이들 과학 응용의 요구 사항을 만족하도록 확장한 새로운 시간 지원 데이터 모델을 제안한다. 이 모델에서는 실험이 경과된 상대적인 시간에 대한 데이터의 이력을 확장형 집합 개념을 사용하여 표현한다. 기존의 관계 데이터 모델과 유사하게, 이 모델은 집합 개념에 바탕을 두고 있으므로 데이터 모델과 그 연산의 의미를 쉽게 이해하고 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.
