  • As the globalization of world market proceeds, the importance of foreign direct investment grows bigger than before A comparative analysis on foreign direct investments among developed and developing countries makes clear that every county has different incentives for foreign direct investments. This implies a country should improve environments on her appropriate field, to induce foreign direct investments, The openness of other capital markets such as bank loans and portfolio investments turns out to have no direct effects on the foreign direct investments.

  • In this paper conceptual design methodologies of electric safety systems are proposed by micro and macro views. As a pre-study electric accidents of Korea were analyzed microscopically, which could be categorized into 11 types by the occurrence frequency. These types are caused by common problems, which are educations, live works, dealing by the public, and grounding systems. And the korean electric safety system is analyzed macroscopically according to stages of the system comparing with that of developed countries.

  • Many techniques have been applied to comprehensive regional planning through the processes of goal-building, research and analysis, plan-establishing, implementation-scheduling, and evaluation. Operations research(OR) is one of those techniques. OR has been developed in such fields of military operations, industrial engineering and business management during the last three decades in several developed western countries. It is a recent tendency for public administrators and researchers to be interested in OR for their scientific decision making. Therefore, we see that OR has not only a weak basis on, but a few practical applications to urban and regional planning. Such situation is worse in developing countries. This paper aims at investigating the possible basis and limitations or obstacles of OR application to public decision making, especially regional planning. A practical example of OR application to regional planning in Korea and its evaluation will be introduced.

  • For various historical and technical reasons, the safety of dams has been controlled by an engineering standards-based approach, which has been developed over many years, initially for the design of new dams, but increasingly applied over the past few decades to assess the safety of existing dams. And some countries were asked for risk assessment on existing dam, which included structural, hydraulic safety of dam and social risk. Whereas other countries have developed and adapted as an additional tool to assist in decision-making for dam safety management. Dam risk analysis should need the reliability data of dam failures, the past constructed history and management records of existing dam. It is thought with risk analysis method of dams for structural safety management in domestic that suitable to use consider an event tree, fault tree and conditioning indexes method.

  • This paper analyzes why the global financial crisis in 2008 severely affected Asia's trade. Asia has been suffering from the falls in export demand from developed countries. However the abrupt trade declines in Asia are not fully explained by reactions to this as in previous experiences. The question is why the financial crisis in 2008 brought about the abrupt and deep collapse in world trade, while other world-wide recessions had more moderate effects on world trade. This paper shows that the dynamic relationship between trade and trade finance is one important factor in explaining this question. This paper also applies the Granger (causality) test to uncover different relationships in the developed and developing economies and show different results for different countries in Asia. We employ a Markov-Switching FAVAR (Factor Augmented VAR) to show that global liquidity shocks are important factors in explaining the huge and abrupt trade drops in Asia.

  • High sodium diet has been touted to be a major risk factor of disease in developed countries. The disease most closely associated with a high sodium diet is cardiovascular diseases. Autoimmune diseases are another broad spectrum of diseases that is associated with developed countries. In the past few years, several key scientific findings have revealed that a high sodium diet could also impact the pathogenicity of autoimmune diseases. In this review, we will highlight key results from such investigations and put it in context of high sodium diet and autoimmunity.

  • Innovation clusters are essential in the economic development of many developed countries across the world. While they present ways for under-developed and developing countries to grow their economies, fully operational innovation clusters are yet to be established in Nigeria. Many experts argue that learning from experience is an effective way of galvanizing economic development. Therefore, in this study, an empirical analysis involving a multi-variable quantitative analysis was used to examine the factors that influence the performance of the Daedeok Innopolis Innovation Cluster (South Korea). The results obtained show that the investment in education, Research and Development (R&D), labor capacity of key players within the innovation cluster, and the transfer of technology (within the cluster) were essential factors that influence the performance of the Daedeok Innopolis Innovation Cluster.

  • Nanofood can be simply defined as natural polymer particles containing functional food materials in nanoscale that are synthesized by polymerization or emulisification process. They have very uniform diameters in the range of 1 to 100 nm and extensive surface areas due to the small particle size in spite of their non-porosity. Although the technique to produce nanofood has not Bong developing history, many works have been achieved in various fields. Nanofood has a lot of special advantages, such as functionality, diversity, applicability, etc. In case of the domestic food industries, however, the accumulation of related technique is insufficient against developed countries except used food materials. Also, it is difficult to acquire technical know-how from the developed countries that possess those technologies. We have been studied on preparing functional nanofood and developing new production processes since 1999. Last 5 years we have laid the foundation on the preparation of nanofood and now are focusing on developing new processes of nanofood and expending the field of its applications.

  • Korean railway Industry has not accumulated its technical system in the field of railway industry in despits of its centennial history, and its is subordinating to the other industries and railroad technique of developed countries. Therefore, Korean railway Industry should set up its technical basis, by setting up its technical system and knowledge on railroad. Korean railway Industry should made closed cooperation relationship of the industrial world, the academic world, research institutions and government containning long-term transportation and related technical policies with development plans of research institutions to enhence and improve railroad technique, so that it should escape from technical subordination of developed countries by reflection of the results.
