Recently, nanotechnology has grown as one of the leading science technology along with other converging technologies such as biology, information, medicine etc., bringing the continuous investment of the government in nano-related field. However, it is difficult to measure and evaluate the performance of the national research and development programs because of the multidimensional character of the expected outcomes. This study aims to measuring efficiency of the national nanotechnology research and development programs using DEA model. The decision making units are nine nano-related ministries including the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning. The input variables are total expenditure, number of the programs and average expenditure per program. The output variables are science, technology and economic indicator, and the combination of these outputs are respectively measured as seven different DEA cases. The Ministry of Science, ICT and Future was the first efficient ministry in total technical efficiency. Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety were efficient in pure technical efficiency, when the Ministry of Commerce Industry and Energy took the first in the scale efficiency. The program efficiency was affected by organizational characteristics such as the institution’s scale, the concentration of the research paper or the patent, technology transfer or the commercialization. The result of this study could be utilized in development of the policy in the nanotechnology and the related field. Furthermore, it could be applied for the modification of expenditure management or the adjustment of the research and development programs’ input and output scale for each ministry.

The study extracts 33 officials curriculum, 11 fisheries managers curriculum for its analytical. First, the study estimates technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency of each curriculums based on traditional DEA under the assumption of CRS and VRS. 8(official 7, managers 1) curriculums are identified as efficient DMUs under the CCR-model, and 13(official 10, managers 3) under the BCC-model. We provide inputs that allow inefficient curriculum to be efficient DMUs on a production frontier, and a reference set for their bench-marking. Second, rank test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test to find a statistical significance of heterogeneity existing in efficiences between Bootstrap-DEA tenical vs Bootstrap-DEA pure technical was no significant difference. We have identified that G10, 11, 12 13, 25, 31, 33, 39 curriculums are the most efficiently produced in the technical and pure technical efficiency. Also we managed to measure the inefficiency which exists in efficiently produced curriculums when estimating the bias corrected efficiency scores. In Technical efficiency, Operation and facility was significant at the 10%. In Pure technical efficiency, facility was significant at the 10%.

The blast hole has a space between explosive and hole wall, and blast forces reaches the hole wall face with a large amount of loss during passing through this space. The loss ratio of blasting forces are different to this packing material of space like air, water, etc. In this study, the effect of packing materials is investigated by the numerical simulation analysis. The simulation is carried out to two phases; 1st phase is to compute the impacting forces reaching on the wall face passing through packing materials(air, water), 2nd phase is to study the blasting effect(block size of cracking, direction of driving forces, etc.) in real site. The reaching force at the wall face in the water is larger than in the air. This study shows that the water as packing materials is superior to the air.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of outlook project for olive flounder, from the view point of price stabilization, market efficiency, and causality of the prices in different distribution channels. Analytical results show that the volatility of producer price of olive flounder has been significantly mitigated after the implementation of the outlook project. The market efficiency is estimated to be improved after implementing the outlook project although there is an inefficiency on price determination process in some producing regions. The causality test on the producer and wholesale price shows that producing stage leads the wholesale stage in forming the prices. It is found that Jeju leads the flounder price on the size of 500g and 2kg, while Wando leads the price of 1kg size. These estimation result as whole indicate that outlook project for olive flounder has accomplished the intended goals.

Semiconductor manufacturing has suffered from the complex process behavior of the technology oriented control in the production line. While the technological processes are in charge of the quality and the yield of the product, the operational management is also critical for the productivity of the manufacturing line. The fabrication line in the semiconductor manufacturing is considered as the most complex part because of various kinds of the equipment, re-entrant process routing and various product devices. The efficiency and the productivity of the fabrication line may give a significant impact on the subsequent processes such as the probe line, the assembly line and final test line. In the management of the re-entrant process such as semiconductor fabrication, it is important to keep balanced fabrication line. The Performance measures in the fabrication line are throughput, cycle time, inventory, shortage, etc. In the fabrication, throughput and cycle time are the conflicting performance measures. It is very difficult to achieve two conflicting goal simultaneously in the manufacturing line. The capacity of equipment is important factor in the production planning and scheduling. The production planning consideration of capacity can make the scheduling more realistic. In this paper, an input and scheduling rule are to achieve the balanced operation in semiconductor fabrication line through equipment capacity and workload are proposed and evaluated. New backward projection and scheduling rule consideration of facility capacity are suggested. Scheduling wafers on the appropriate facilities are controlled by available capacity, which are determined by the workload in terms of the meet the production target.

본 연구에서는 IPO시점을 전후하여 기업의 혁신 활동과 성과의 변화에 대한 분석을 목적으로 연구개발 투자 비중이 높은 의료 및 의약 분야의 코스닥 IPO 상장 기업을 대상으로 7개의 투입, 산출 모형에 대한 효율성 분석과 비교를 실시하였다. 의약분야 기업의 IPO 전후 3년간의 혁신활동 효율성을 측정하고 차이를 분석하기 위해 DEA모형을 적용하였 다. 본 논문의 주요한 결과는 첫째, 의약분야의 IPO 기업의 창업에서 IPO까지 평균 12.86년 이 소요되었고, 혁신활동은 평균적으로 IPO 이전보다 더욱 활발해져 연구개발 투자액이 증 가되었다. 출원특허의 수는 IPO 이전 3년 동안 8.43개에서 IPO 이후 3년 동안에는 상장기업 평균 16.67로 급증하였으며 기업의 기술 영역도 전후 3년 동안 상장기업 평균 11개에서 22개 기술분야로 크게 확대되는 모습을 보였으나, 재무적 측면에서 성장 추이와 수익성은 IPO 이 전보다 낮아졌다. 둘째, 연구개발 투자와 특허출원 활동에 대한 재무적인 성과는 IPO 이후 효율성이 모두 약화되었으며, 최종적인 성과에 이르기까지 투자와 활동을 분리하여 연구개발 투자에 따른 특허 출원 성과, 특허 출원 활동에 따른 재무적인 성과에 대한 효율성 역시 IPO 이전보다 모두 낮아진 것으로 분석되었다. 셋째, 특허활동에 따른 재무성과에 대한 효율성은 연구개발 투자에 따른 특허 출원 성과, 연구개발투자와 특허활동에 따른 재무성과에 대한 효 율성에 비해 낮았고, 특히, IPO 이후 특허활동에 따른 재무성과의 비효율성은 규모의 비효율 성으로 인해 발생되었음이 분석되었다. 마지막으로, 본 연구에서 IPO 이후 전체적인 효율성 하락은 IPO를 퉁한 연구개발투자 확대가 시장의 재무적 성과로 이어지지 못하였고, IPO 이 후 전체적인 비효율성은 연구개발투자를 통한 혁신의 결과 도출 단계보다는 혁신활동의 결 과물이 시장의 성과를 이끌어 내는 데 나타나는 비효율성으로 인한 것으로 분석되었다.

본고는 교육부가 2018년부터 초등학교 교과서에 일정한 수의 漢字倂記를 실시할 예정이라는 발 표를 계기로 한자교육의 효율성을 높이는 방안에 대해 나름대로 의견을 정리하여 제시하였다. 이를 위해 한자의 약자화에 성공한 중국과 일본의 한자정책의 배경과 역사적 진행사항 그리고 성과는 물론 W대학교 학생들을 상대로 실시한 한자 인지능력 조사결과를 토대로 한자 약자화의 必要性에 대해서 살펴보았다. 한ㆍ중ㆍ일의 3국 가운데 중국과 일본은 문자개혁을 단행하여 중국은 簡化字를, 일본은 常用漢 字의 略字를 사용하고 있으나 우리나라는 이들 국가와는 달리 康熙字典體의 正字인 전통한자를 사 용하고 있다. 중국은 國字인 한자사용의 불편함을 해소하고 민중의 문맹률을 낮춘다는 課題 해결을 위해한자 의 약자화를 시행하였으며, 일본은 방대한 수와 복잡한 용법이 생활의 불편함과 국민의 문화수준을 떨어뜨린다고 전제하고 이를 해소하기 위한 방편으로 한자의 수를 제한하고 획수가 많고 字體가 복잡한 한자를 간략화 하였다. 우리도 전통한자의 사용으로 인한 많은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 한자의 약자화가 필요하다. 물론 한자의 약자화가 곧 한자교육의 모든 문제점을 해결할 수는 없을 것이다. 또한 일부에서 제기 하고 있는 고전해독의 불편한 점 등의 문제점 또한 간과할 수는 없다. 그러나 지나친 필획의 감소가 아니라면 약자화를 통해 얻어지는 효과가 훨씬 크다고 보기 때문에 문제점은 수정하거나 보완한다 면 별 무리가 없으리라 본다. 한자의 약자화는 한자교육의 효율성을 높여 학생들에게 좀 더 쉽게 한자를 이해시키고 국민들에 게 한자를 좀 더 편리하게 사용할 수 있게 할 것이다. 또한 주변 국가들과의 국제적 교류나 원만한 소통도 원활히 이루어질 것이다. 따라서 우리나라 한자의 약자화는 반드시 필요하며, 그 연구의 가 치 또한 있다고 하겠다.

This study analyzed the safety management efficiency through input-oriented BCC Model using DEA by making of Models, in which this study selected the number of staff affiliated with the construction site, number of staff members on the construction team, and number of safety personnel as Input Factor, along with the number of disaster victims and zero-accident accomplished hours as output elements, targeting 40-or-so apartment building construction sites which are being built by 3 domestic construction companies. As a result of efficiency, it was 0.643, the number of efficient DMU was 4. In the aspect of returns to scale, 21 construction sites(52.5%) found to be in a state of increasing returns while 14 construction sites(35%) was in a state of Decreasing returns. The reason for inefficiency was found to lie in technical factors in case of 30 construction sites(75%). Lastly, inefficient DMU is in need of 38.9 % and 66% reduction in site personnel and safety personnel. Based on study results, the 29 construction sites accounting for 72.5% of DMU for safety management efficiency evaluation object turned out to do inefficient safety management that doesn't fit the size of each company.

Perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers have been widely used for renewable energy generation, including polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), owing to their excellent resistance to harsh chemicals and good ion-transport properties. PFSA materials experience critical chemical decomposition to radical attacks, and fast hydrogen crossover leading to fairly reduced electrochemical performances, when they are used as membrane materials. Similar chemical degradation also occurs in PEFC electrodes containing PFSA ionomer binders used as both mechanical supporters and proton conductors and shortens PEFC lifetime. In this study, several approaches based on their morphological rearrangement to overcome these economical and technical issues are proposed. They include pore-filling membrane formation, nanodispersion, and their combination.

The objective of this study is to examine the potential of cost reduction and factors affecting production cost of Korean farmers. First, the study estimates technical efficiency, allocation efficiency, and cost efficiency of Korean farmers using DEA. Then, Tobit regressions are conducted to identify factors affecting each of the three efficiency scores. The study uses the Farm Household Economy Survey data from the Korean National Bureau of Statistics for the period from 2008 to 2012. Results from DEA show that overall, technical and cost efficiency scores are low, which suggests a great potential of cost reduction for Korean farmers. The results also show relatively large differences in efficiency scores across provinces. Tobit results suggest that farm size, number of family members, operation costs, and invested capital amount are major factors affecting farm efficiencies.

Many pronuclear stage eggs were used to generate transgenic mice (Tg) by microinjection. In this study, we used in vitro fertilized mouse eggs, followed by ultrarapid freezing to establish a simple procedure for production of Tg mice. We produced in vitro fertilized mouse eggs and cryopreserved them by ultrarapid freezing method. A total of 139 cryopreserved-thawed pronuclear eggs, of which 101 (72.6%) were survived following microinjection of chicken b-actin promoter-driven firefly improved luciferase cDNA (β-act/luc+) and were transferred into 5 recipients. All recipients became pregnant and gave birth to a total of 15 (14.8%) pups. As a control, same DNA construction (β- act/luc+) was also injected into 450 in vitro fertilized eggs, of which 338 (75.1%) were survived and then were transferred into 14 recipients. Eleven (78%) mice became pregnant and littered a total of 54 (19.1%) pups. Southern blotting analysis of Tg mice indicated that one (1/15, 6.6%) and three (3/54, 5.5%) transgenic mice were production from cryopreserved and in vitro fertilized eggs, respectively. All Tg mice produced from both eggs showed the expression of improved luciferase gene. These results indicated that efficiency of produced of Tg mice from cryopreserved eggs was comparable to that from in vitro fertilized eggs. Furthermore, it is suggested that microinjection of transgene into in vitro fertilized eggs cryopreserved by ultrarapid freezing is an easy and conveniently method for production of Tg mice.

In this paper, scale efficiencies and relative efficiencies of R&D projects in Industrial Technology Program, sponsored by Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea, are calculated and compared. For the process, various DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) models are adopted as major techniques. For DEA, two stage input oriented models are utilized for calculating the efficiencies. Next, the calculated efficiencies are grouped according to their subprograms (Industrial Material, IT Fusion, Nano Fusion, Energy Resources, and Resources Technology) and recipient types (Public Enterprise, Large Enterprise, Medium Enterprise, Small Enterprise, Lab., Univ., and etc.) respectively. Then various subprograms and recipient types are compared in terms of scale efficiencies (CCR models) and relative efficiencies (BCC models). In addition, the correlation between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd stage relative efficiencies is calculated, from which the causal relationship between them can be inferred. Statistical analysis shows that the amount of input, in general, should increase in order to be scale efficient (CCR models) regardless of the subprograms and recipient types, that the 1st and 2nd stage relative efficiencies are different in terms of the programs and recipient types (BCC models), and that there is no significant correlation between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd stage relative efficiencies. However, the results should be used only as reference because the goal each and every subprogram has is different and the situation each and every recipient type faces is different. In addition, the causal link between the 1st stage relative efficiencies and the 2nd relative efficiencies is not considered, which, in turn, is the limitation of this paper.

This study is to analyze the efficiency of Korean sea food manufacturing using Data Envelopment Analysis. Firstly, based on an output oriented traditional CCR, BCC model, the study estimated the efficiency scores. The average estimates of technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency turned out 0.6517, 0.7184, 0.9074 respectively, which are separated for 50 marine corporations. The 10 DMUs were efficient under CCR model while the 17 DMUs under BCC model. Also, the study suggested that the operating profit of the two output factors should be more increased relatively and averagely from the viewpoint of efficiency improvement. Secondly, super efficiency scores are estimated under super efficiency and SBM model. As a result, it came to be possible to distinguish and rank the efficiency of the efficient DMUs. The highest score was 4.2975 under Super-CCR, was 2.4947 under Super-BCC, was 2.7160 under SBM-Super- CCR, and was 1.5319 under SBM-Super-BCC model. The average estimates of super efficiency were 0.76 and 0.82 under Super-CCR and Super-BCC model respectively, and were 0.61 and 0.67 under SBM-Super- CCR and SBM-Super-BCC model. Finally, the study conducted a rank-sum test, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test, to find a statistical significance of heterogeneity existing in efficiencies among the sample corporations. The result showed that there was a significant difference in average efficiency between Dried, Salted product manufacturing and Frozen product manufacturing under BCC-Super efficiency model at 10% level of significance. Furthermore, TOBIT model was applied to find out the potential factors that might influence the efficiency, Wilcoxonand the results showed debt and sales cost influenced all of the technical, pure technical, and scale efficiency, while net profit influenced only the technical efficiency.

In conclusion, this researcher drew the economic strong points of the hot water generated by gas.Key

This study intends to propose a non-oriented DEA based game cross-efficiency approach for supplier selection. With a discussion on the choice of DEA models and approaches that are most appropriate for supplier selection, we propose a game cross efficiency model based upon the non-oriented variable returns-to-scale RAM DEA by adapting the existing game cross efficiency model based upon the oriented constant returns-to-scale CCR DEA. We develop the RAM game cross efficiency model and a convergent iterative solution procedure to find the best game cross efficiency scores that constitute a Nash equilibrium. We illustrate the proposed model with two data sets of supplier selection, and demonstrate that significantly different results are obtained when compared with the existing approaches.
