The present study investigated the characteristics and trends of academic research by Korean scholars of English education. The main focus was on the extent to which active scholars focus on their primary major areas. The study surveyed 11 journals of major academic societies in Korea, and analyzed a total of 5,072 research papers written by 1,639 scholars. The results showed that the most popular topic was acquisition/learning (19.30%), followed by English (applied) linguistics (17.90%), English materials (14.59%), teaching methodology (12.03%), and learning psychology (10.11%), the top five collectively comprising 73.93% of the total papers. The 99 most productive scholars published 1.01 papers per year on average. Younger scholars published more papers per year on average than older scholars. As for the concentrated efforts in their primary areas of research, the top 99 scholars wrote 46.84% of their papers on their primary areas, and 20.03% on their secondary areas of study. Younger scholars concentrated more efforts on their primary areas than older scholars. The results were interpreted, and suggestions were made for the future research.

The purpose of this study was to examine the state of the articles in the Korean Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and overall research trends in this field in an effort to grasp the reality of the Journal and suggest some of the right directions for the development of research in this field. 332 articles that were printed in the Korean Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology over the past decade (2003-2012) were selected for the purpose of analysis. As a result of analysing the 332 articles in 52 issues of the Journal, it's found that a mean of 6.3 articles were contained in each issue. As for the form of article, original articles was more common than case reports, which were respectively used in 275 articles (82.8%) and 57 articles (17.2%). Concerning research methods by year, cell culture was most prevailing (124 articles, 37.3%), followed by clinicopathologic study (68, 20.5%), case report (62, 18.8%), animal experiments (28, 8.4%), clinical trial study (28, 8.4%) and others (22, 6.6%). As to the number of researchers, the majority of the articles were written by two or more researchers. The most common number of researchers was three (66 articles, 19.9%), and the number of the articles written by two (49, 14.8%) was similar to that of the articles written by four (47, 14.2%). 38 articles (11.4%) were written by eight researchers or more. Regarding the language of the articles, Korean was used in 213 articles (64.2%), and English was used in 119 articles (35.8%). As for the number of references, this number ranged from a low of zero(in the articles related to the history of pathology) to a high of 71, and the average number of references was 27.91. In relation to the themes of research, the largest number of the articles (47, 32.6%) dealt with oral squamous cell carcinoma, followed by diseases related to odontogenic carcinoma (21, 14.5%), diseases related to odontogenic cyst (17, 11.7%), salivary gland tumor (seven, 4.8%) and granuloma (five, 3.5%).

우리나라는 비약적인 산업기술발전을 통해 선진국 진입을 눈앞에 두고 있지만, 제조 물책임법(PL법) 대응방안 및 고객신뢰성 확보 미흡으로 인해 선진국 진입에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 안정성 및 신뢰성이 확보되지 않은 부품소재의 경우 조립업체의 사용 기피가 생기며 부품소재의 국산화 이후 시장 진출 시 소비자가 최초의 사용자가 되기 를 꺼려한다는 점이 대두 되고 있다. 이는 우리나라의 원천 기술의 수입의존도를 심화 시켜 결국 국가경쟁력 약화를 가져오는 악순환의 반복을 가져오는 원인 되고 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위해서는 신뢰성확보가 시급한 시점이다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰성 확보를 위해 신뢰성 시험의 연구동향을 분석 할 것이며, 이를 통해 신뢰성 향상 및 효과적인 활용방안을 모색 하고자 한다.

Recent rapid development of the Chinese economy based on science and technology is challenging Korean industries and economy. Since the driving force for this rapid development of China is known to be scientific technologies, the purpose of this research is to confirm the current status of Chinese scientific research in the field of "Materials Science and Engineering" and propose a strategy for competition with China. Even though there are numerous journals of "Materials Science and Engineering", the 10 most popular journals with high impact factors were selected to cover general materials, nano materials, bio materials, and electronic materials. It was found that the number of scientific papers written by Chinese scientists for the materials field in the 10 journals was slowly increasing from the year 2000 until 2005, but has been rapidly increasing since 2005. This research found that Chinese research activities in the traditional metallic materials and nano materials have tremendously increased to occupy around 30 % or more papers published in several major journals related with materials science and engineering. On the other hand, bio materials and electronic materials research has not been pursued so actively; however, very recently the number of publications in these fields is also beginning to increase. To compete with this tremendously growing Chinese scientific development, Korea should have a policy of "selection and concentration" in materials-related fields, including basic science in nano, bio, and electronic materials.

고분자 분리막을 이용한 기체 분리막은 높은 에너지 효율, 경제적인 장점으로 최근 수년간 지속적으로 개발되어왔다. 최적화된 경제적 성능을 얻기 위하여 기체 분리막은 높은 투과도와 선택도를 가져야 한다. 따라서 기체분리 분리막용으로 다양한 고분자를 시험한 연구 결과들이 보고되어 왔다. 다양한 소재 중, 폴리이미드는 다양한 기체인자에 대하여 높은 투과 선택도와 높은 화학적 열적 안정성, 그리고 물리적 안정성으로 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 따라서 본고에서는 기체분리용 폴리이미드 소재의 개발동향과 분리막의 제조방법, 기체 분리의 원리에 대하여 다루었다.

지난 몇 십년동안 전 세계적으로 제조기술 분야의 급속한 성장으로 대부분의 제조업에서 눈부실만한 품질향상과 생산성 극대화를 이루어 왔다. 하지만 현재 제조기술 분야는 새로운 문제에 직면하고 있다. 실제 현장에서 관리하고자하는 품질특성은 정규분포를 따르지 않는 경우가 많은데, 대부분의 통계적 공정관리기술체계가 정규분포를 기반으로 하고 있다는 것이다. 이러한 이유로 비정규 공정에서 극소불량관리, 미세변동관리에 대한 연구가 시급한 실정이다. 하지만 비정규 분포를 통계적으로만 해석하고 설계하기 위해서는 현실적으로 한계가 있으며, 경제적 설계의 접근방법이 또 하나의 좋은 대안이 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비정규 공정에서 관리도의 경제적 설계를 위한 연구동향을 살펴보고 추후 연구방향에 대해 제시하고자 한다.

Recent climate change, which is mostly ascribed to anthropogenic activities, is believed to be a major factor leading to biodiversity decreases and ecosystem service deteriorations. I have reviewed recent studies on climate change effects for many ecological processes involved with plants, in order to improve our understanding of the nature of ecological complexity. Plants in general have better growth and productivity under high levels of CO2, although the long term effects of such CO2 fertilizers are still controversial. Over the last 30 years, the Earth has been greening, particularly at higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, perhaps due to a relaxation of climatic constraints. Human appropriation of net primary productivity (NPP), which corresponds up to 1/3 of global NPP, is ultimately responsible for climate change and biodiversity decreases. Climate change causes phenological variations in plants, especially in regards to spring flowering and fall leaf coloring. Many plants migrate polewards and towards higher altitudes to seek more appropriate climates. On the other hand, tree mortality and population declines have recently been reported in many continents. Landscape disturbance not only hinders the plant migration, but also makes it difficult to predict the plants’ potential habitats. Plant and animal population declines, as well as local extinctions, are largely due to the disruption of species interactions through temporal mismatching. Temperature and CO2 increase rates in Korea are higher than global means. The degree of landscape disturbances is also relatively high. Furthermore, long-term data on individual species responses and species interactions are lacking or quite limited in Korea. This review emphasizes the complex nature of species responses to climate change at both global and local scales. In order to keep pace with the direction and speed of climate change, it is urgently necessary to observe and analyze the patterns of phenology, migration, and trophic interactions of plants and animals in Korea’s landscape.

나노 소재는 표면적이 매우 크고 크기나 기공이 균일하여 분리막에서 물질 전달 통로나 특수한 기능성을 갖게 하는 소재로 이용이 가능하다. 그러나 나노 소재 및 나노 기술을 기반으로 한 분리막의 상용화를 위한 여러 가지 기술적인 한계가 존재하며 최근 나노 소재 및 제조 기술이 발전하고 다양해짐에 따라 분리막에 나노 소재 및 기술을 활용하려는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 나노 소재 및 기술을 활용하는 경우 기존 분리막의 투과도 및 선택도를 크게 높일 수 있으며 열적, 화학적, 기계적 안정성 및 내오염성을 향상시키거나 기능성 소재를 활용하여 분리막에 새로운 기능을 부여할 수 있다.

관리도를 사용하여 공정평균, 공정산포 등 여러 가지 공정모수를 관리할 수 있다. 그러나 공정모수의 미세 변동을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 기법체계는 아직 미완이다. 식스시그마 공정관리 등 정밀공정관리를 위해서는 미세 공정평균과 공정산포관리가 전제되어야한다. 특히 높은 수준의 공정능력을 유지하기위해서는 공정산포관리가 선결과제이다. 본 본문에서는 공정평균과 공정불량률, 공정산포의 미세변동을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 기술체계의 연구동향을 분석하고 미세공정산포관리를 위한 대안을 제시하고자 한다.

제조공정에서 사용되어 지는 SPC(Statistical Process Control)관리 기법은 가피원인을 탐지하여 변동을 감소시키는 통계적 공정관리 시스템이다. SPC의 대표적인 관리 기법으로는 Shewhart관리도, Cusum관리도, EWMA관리도가 있으며 이러한 관리 기법들은 공정을 보다 안정적으로 관리 할 수 있도록 유지 및 예측하는데 사용 되어 진다. 하지만 제조 공정의 유형에 따라 샘플링 방법, 관리한계선 등을 다양하게 설정하여 보다 효율적인 관리를 모색하고 있다. 공정 형태에 따라 다양한 관리 방법과 분석 결과가 나타난다. 일반적으로 Xbar-R 관리도와 같은 Shewhart 관리도를 사용하지만 Batch 단위의 공정, 연속 공정의 라인에서 사용되기에는 부분적인 한계를 보이고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 관리도와 공정 변화에 민감하게 반응 할 수 있는 누적합 관리도와 지수가중치이동평균 관리도를 비교해 보고 작은 변동에 대한 탐지 능력이 우수한 지수가중치이동평균 관리도에 대한 연구동향과 사례를 분석하여 제조 공정에 적합한 관리 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

Control chart is most widely used in SPC(Statistical Process Control), Recently it is a critical issue that the standard control chart is not suitable to non-normal process with very small percent defective. Especially, this problem causes serious errors in the reliability procurement, such as semiconductor, high-precision machining and chemical process etc. Procuring process control technique for non-normal process with very small percent defective and perturbation is becoming urgent. Control chart technique in non-normal distribution become very important issue. In this paper, we investigate on research trend of control charts under non-normal distribution.

The current study aimed to describe overall trends in recent English second language (L2) academic writing research and to identify effective interventions. To support drawing defensible conclusions based on the literature dealing with L2 writing, only recent empirical articles dealing with academic writing for English-L2 college students published in peer reviewed journals were included. Fifty five English L2 writing articles met the criteria for inclusion. For the identification of effective L2 writing interventions, I discriminated if the studies provided L2 writing interventions and the relevance to L2 writing development. As a result of analyses based on themes emerging in the English L2 academic writing literature, I noted effective English L2 academic writing interventions. Those interventions were teacher feedback, self-regulatory learning, peer feedback, and technology use. The use of a variety of measures and incorporation of specificity about prompts into the studies was recommended and the developmental trajectory of L2 writers was suggested to be further studied.

Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) is one of the traditional crops and there is a growing global attention as a healthy food because of its rich nutrition. Buckwheat allergy is an IgE mediated immediate-type reaction and it is considered to be a critical allergen because it causes severe allergic reactions by small amount of intake particularly in children. In this issue of Buckwheat allergy, research papers about various topics - major allergens of buckwheat, clinical reports, detection methods and methods to reduce allergenic reaction - were reviewed. Major buckwheat allergens reported and listed on IUIS are Fag e 1 with molecular weight 24 kDa, Fag e 2 with molecular weight 16 kDa and Fag e 3 with molecular weight 19 kDa. PCR and ELISA methods have been used to detect buckwheat allergens. Recently, the LC/MS method has been developed to apply to detect buckwheat allergens. In addition to detection methods development, there have been efforts to reduce buckwheat allergens using chemical and/or physical methods, but not commercialized yet.

Music creation is important in enhancing elementary school children's motivation and interest for music learning. The purpose of this study is to analyze trends of master's theses about elementary music creation teaching and learning written between 2000 and 2011. A total of 147 master's theses on elementary music creation teaching and learning were analyzed. The theses were analyzed in respect to following six topics; (1) the years and institutes of publication, (2) subjects, (3) topics, (4) contents, (5) research methods, (6) teaching-learning strategies. The results are as follows. Firstly, the number of theses on music creation teaching and learning has decreased recently. Gyeongin National University of Education and Daegu National University of Education were the institutes which produced the biggest numbers of the theses on elementary music creation teaching and learning. Secondly, 40.41% of the theses targeted the grade group of the fifth and sixth grades. Only 9.59% targeted the first and second grades. Since 2009 the thesis on the first and second grades was not published at all. Thirdly, 46.95% of the theses dealt with the composition and improvisation activities simultaneously. Fourthly, 62.58% of the theses excluded Korean traditional music creation in their content. 12.94% dealt with the Korean traditional music creation only. Fifthly, 40.13% of the theses were about program design and excluded implementation. 37.43% were about program design and class implementation. Finally, the most preferred strategy was the use of teaching-learning materials (26.53%). The other strategies were the application of teaching-learning theories, the use of sequences, the use of musical pieces and so on.
