In recent years, 'technological fusion or convergence' has drawn a lot of attention of innovation researchers and governmental policy makers as the driving force of technological innovation and industrial growth. There are, however, few studies on the analysis of longitudinal trends of technological convergence and its comparison between global and national level. In this study, with the citation data of about 18 million articles, we analyzed 1) the growth of representative convergence research areas, 2) the convergence of citing patterns between research fields, and 3) the changing trend of diversity index of all research fields. We conclude that technological convergence in korea shows the relatively strong orientation to the combination of neighboring fields than that of heterogenous fields in comparison to global trend. In particular, the relatively weak activity of cognitive science and the low level of mutual exchange between arts/humanities/social sciences and natural/engineering sciences in Korea are emphasized.

A sophisticated Bayesian multilevel model for estimating group bias was developed to improve the utility of the ASTM E900-15 embrittlement trend curve (ETC) to assess the conditions of nuclear power plants (NPPs). For multilevel model development, the Baseline 22 surveillance dataset was basically classified into groups based on the NPP name, product form, and notch orientation. By including the notch direction in the grouping criteria, the developed model could account for TTS differences among NPP groups with different notch orientations, which have not been considered in previous ETCs. The parameters of the multilevel model and biases of the NPP groups were calculated using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. As the number of data points within a group increased, the group bias approached the mean residual, resulting in reduced credible intervals of the mean, and vice versa. Even when the number of surveillance test data points was less than three, the multilevel model could estimate appropriate biases without overfitting. The model also allowed for a quantitative estimate of the changes in the bias and prediction interval that occurred as a result of adding more surveillance test data. The biases estimated through the multilevel model significantly improved the performance of E900-15.

Interannual variation and long-term trends of coastal sea surface temperature (SST) in Korea were investigated by analyzing 27 coastal SST time series from 1969 to 2004. Long-term linear increasing trend was remarkable with the rate over $0.02^{\circ}C/year$ at almost all the stations. The slope of long-term linear trend was larger at the stations along the eastern coast than in the western and southern regions. It was also noticeable that there was a common tendency of interannual variability with the period of 3-5 years at most of the stations. SST was lower in the 1970's and early 1980's while it was higher in the 1990's and early 2000's after the increase in the late 1980's. The pattern of the interannual variability of SST was similar to that of air temperature. Increasing trend of minimum SST in winter was obvious at most stations na it was larger along the eastern coast, while the linear trend of maximum SST in summer was less definite. Therefore, the decreasing tendency of annual amplitude was mainly due to the increasing tendency of SST in winter.

In this paper, we propose wide range of categorizes Artificial Intelligence technology as Learning, Inference, and Cognitive. Also, it analyzes 758 cases of open patents. For an analysis, target technologies were selected and categorized into specific areas to collect information about the patents. After removing noise, the patent information for each technology such as patent assignees and IPC code, was analyzed to evaluate the maturity of technology, the way ahead for research and development and the trends in core technology. This research presents directions of Artificial intelligence technology research and trend analysis of core Artificial Intelligent technology using quantitative analysis of patent information. Also Artificial intelligence technology requires technological development necessity through close cooperation in diverse fields.

With the internet(World Wide Web) widespread among people after 1995, Information Communication Network, which is basic structure of the internet, is rapidly changing into fiber optics communication. The information conveyed through the internet is being diversified - from simple information based on text to bulky multimedia information such as auido & video data. So the demand for higher speed, hish storage Router is on the crease. This research aims to analyze the general trend of the patent by systematical, multilateral and segmented analysis of the technology's flow and trend, the present technological position of status and the distribution map of the technology by country, technology area using chart and graph.

Compared to the 2007 packaging contest winners' work of Korea and Japan, their packaging trends have been studied in this study. Environmental-friendly packaging have been turned out the main trend at the same time in both Korea and Japan markets in this comparative research. In applied technology aspects, there was a remarkable distinction compared to packaging technology of both countries; Korea's technology was evaluated out to be lagged behind Japan by three or four years in this study. The road map for future packaging development plan shall be suggested by following comparative studies from the annual packaging contests which are supposed to be held in many developed countries.

This study is trying to estimate the effect of survey of prior art on the technological performance of national R&D program, with the purpose to enhance understanding on the relationship between utilization of patent information and R&D activities. Patent and Technology Trend Research, one of the survey of prior art which gives the information about existing technology and patent trend to the project team has been carried out since 2005. In this paper, effects which Patent and Technology Trend Research has on the technological performance of national R&D projects are estimated by using multiple regression model considering input factors, characteristics of an agent and supplier of money. The result is that Patent and Technology Trend Research has positive and significant effect on the grant and application of domestic and foreign patent. This result can give an hint that the utilization of patent information make the R&D process efficient and effective.

Worldwide trend of waste treatment technology is rapidly transferring from "incineration system" to "gasification & melting system" which can derive the resources from waste and charge no more environmental burden to nature. And therefore it is necessary for our country to adopt gasification & melting system urgently to present the land pollution and lack of landfill area. Among several gasification and melting processes Daewoo-Thermoselect gasification and melting system is the representative process which can transfer waste to resources such as sin-gas, molten slag, metal hydroxide, mixed salt and sulfur through the process of compaction, degasification, gasification and melting.

This is a paper to understand the economic effects of the measurement standards by translog cost function. The data, as of the end of 1998, are from a survey of 514 firms in Korean industry. The analysis is compared to that of 1992 data analysis to check the trend. There are a little differences on the estimated coefficients, but there is no basic difference on trend of economic effects. The Investment on measurement standards have been contributed positively on the major managerial indicators such as productivity, profit, and so on.
