Experimental study was performed to understand the operations of a showcase working in a discount store. Temperatures of evaporation, condenser were measured and also electric power consumption of compressor were measured. The purpose of this study is to application use of cold-heat storage systems operated the showcase. At the condition using ice storage system, the ice making process was operated during midnight being not needed the cooling of the showcase through the continuous running of the condenser unit. And then, the refrigerant was sub-cooled using stored cold-heat after being discharged from the air cooling condenser during the day time. The cooling performance was increased owing to the sub-cooling of refrigerant during day time, hence the running time of the compressor was effectively decreased. In other words, this study showed that power consumption during daytime can be transferred to the midnight for making use of the refrigerant sub-cooling. So the operating characteristics of the showcase system under various working conditions were analyzed and discussed.

Although motorcycle safety studies to date have identified the causes of motorcycle accidents in general, very few have investigated postal motorcycle accidents by studying the delivery postmen's specific work environment. To better understand postal motorcyclists' driving behavior associated with their delivery workload, we developed a system using V-World platform which visualizes driving behavior in real time along the driver's delivery route throughout an entire work day. We conducted a field test to examine the feasibility of our system by involving six delivery postmen currently working in Songpa, Seocheongju, and Gangseo, respectively. To show the potential of our system for nationwide comparison of postal motorcyclists' driving behavior and their workloads, we present several sample analyses using the collected field data. Although ideally, postmen's workloads should be standardized nationwide, we found large variation depending on regional characteristics of work area which affects postmen's driving behavior.

This study was experimentally performed to find the effects of refrigerant subcooling in the refrigeration system and to propose how to get the efficient use of energy. A refrigerant-subcooling refrigeration system consisted of a typical single vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, a subcooler, and an ice storage tank. The degree of subcooling at the exit of the condenser can be increased by the heat transfer between the subcooler and the ice storage tank. The cold heat in the ice storage tank was stored by using the refrigeration cycle during night time and then used to absorb the heat from the subcooler during daytime. The cooling capacity and COP of this system were higher than those of the conventional system due to the increase in the degree of subcooling. Typically, the refrigerant-subcooling system showed superior performance to the conventional refrigeration system and would also contribute to load leveling.

Performance measures play a critical role in formulating mail delivery strategies and evaluating actual results. Nevertheless, the existing method and corresponding system to determine the standard workloads of mailmen is developed without careful consideration of real delivery environments and various requirements of mailmen. Hence, the current system is insufficient for optimal management of workloads and shows substantial gaps when compared to the results of actual work-site. This study considers how to improve the current workload management system of mailmen. We first performed the as-is analysis of the mail delivery service and then developed a prototype of advanced delivery workload management system. The to-be system consists of five subsystems which can be grouped into three categories; master data management, workloads management, performance analysis. Our results can be a valuable guide for the development of real system for measuring and balancing the workloads of mailmen.

This paper deals with pre-erection scheduling and erection scheduling in shipbuilding. Among shipbuilding scheduling, the ship erection scheduling in a dock is one of the most important since the dock is the most critical resource in a shipyard. However, it is more reasonable to consider pre-erection scheduling and erection scheduling as unified because they compete with the common constrained resources such as labor, crane, space, and so on. It is very hard to consider two scheduling problems simultaneously, and hence, we approach them sequentially. At first, we propose space resource leveling heuristics in pre-erection scheduling given erection date. And then, considering the manpower resource determined by pre-erection scheduling, we also propose manpower resource leveling heuristics in erection scheduling. Various experimental results with real world data show that the proposed heuristics have good performance in terms of scheduling quality and time.

Construction of power plants and T&D facilities is so difficult because of the civil complaints and the additional cost according to the concerning field conditions. Therefore, various researches and methods have been considered to get solutions in the demand side and energy storage systems have been in the spotlight because of the various functions such as peak shaving, load shifting, and power system stabilizing, and so on. Residential small size batteries are considered in this paper and the economic analysis is carried out to evaluate the reasonable subsidy levels for the deployment of energy storage systems. Various economic parties are considered to find reasonable subsidy level comparing each other, which parties consist of utilities, participants and non-participants in general. The evaluation is based on California Standard Practice Test and the results are able to be used as subsidy guidelines.

축열 공조방식 중 현재 가장 많이 보급되고 있는 방식은 빙축열 방식과 수축열 방식이다. 본래 축열식 공조는 열원 용량을 감소하고, 값싼 심야전력을 통해서 운전비용(running cost)의 절감을 목적으로 하지만, 열을 저장하기 위한 "축열조"가 필요하므로, 필연적으로 초기투자비(intial cost)의 증가를 동반하며, 기존의 건물에는 쉽게 적용할 수 없는 등의 문제점이 있다. 따라서 축열을 위한 초기비용을 증가시키지 않는 축열식 공조방식으로서 건축물 자체가 가지는 높은 열용량에 착안하여 구조체 축열에 관한 연구가 최근 활성화되고 있다. 구조체 축열은 건축물 그 자체를 축열 매체로 이용하기 때문에 별도의 축열조가 필요 없고, 구조체 로부터의 "복사"형태로 거주영역에 직접적으로 작용하여 실내의 온열환경을 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 때문에 2차측 공조기의 용량을 절감시킬 수 있고, 축열 부위에서의 열반송이 필요없는 등, 구조체 축열 시스템은 기존의 빙축열과 수축열 방식에서는 없는 여러가지 장점을 가지고 있다. 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 기존의 공조시스템 중에서 급기구 부위만을 변경하여 주간에서 종래의 공조시스템과 같이 실내로 공조 공기를 급기하고, 야간에는 급기구에 설치된 댐퍼를 조절하여 천정면으로 공조 공기를 급기함으로써 구조체에 열을 축열시키는 방안이다. 본 시스템은 기존의 설비시스템을 이용하여 건축물의 구조체를 축열, 공조개시전 및 주간의 부하를 대폭 줄임으로써 에너지를 절감시킬 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 따라서 구조체 축열 공조시스템은 "지구환경 유지.전력부하 평준화.안전성.에너지 절약.비용절감.쾌적성"의 모든 조건을 만족시키는 유력한 차세대 공조 방식이 될 것으로 판단되며, 본 보에서는 공기순환형 구조체 축열시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

Local search algorithms start from a certain candidate solution and probe its neighborhood to find ones with improved quality. This paper proposes a method of probabilistically filtering out bad-looking neighbors based on a simple low-cost preliminary evaluation heuristics. The probabilistic filtering enables us to save time wasted on fully evaluating those solutions that will eventually be trashed, and thus improves the search efficiency by allowing us to spend more time on examining better looking solutions. Experiments with two large-scaled real-world problems, which are a traffic signal control problem in traffic network and a load balancing problem in production scheduling, have shown that the proposed method finds better quality solutions, given the same amount of CPU time.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes of the late potential of Signal- averaged electrocardiography (SAECG) and Electrocardiography (ECG) parameters during follow up of those who had taken surgical repair of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Methods : Nine patients who had taken surgical repair of TOF since 1985 checked SAECG and standard 12 leads ECG twice in 1999 and 2005 in Kyungpook national university hospital. We evaluated changes of QRS duration, QT interval and JT interval, QRS dispersion, QT dispersion and JT dispersion of standard 12 leads ECG and Filtered QRS (f-QRS), High frequency low amplitude potential (HFLA), Root mean square in terminal 40 ms (RMS) and Mean voltage in terminal 40 ms (MV) of SAECG between in 1999 and 2005. Results : There were significant decrease of JT dispersion ($101.11{\pm}50.11$ vs $71.11{\pm}22.61ms$, P< 0.05) and significant increase of HFLA ($24.67{\pm}13.19$ vs $32.89{\pm}14.21ms$, P<0.05). But there were no significant changes in other parameters. Conclusion : In repaired TOF patients, we evaluated ECG and SAECG to detect possible late complications such as tricuspid regurgitation, right ventricular enlargement, ventricualar arrythmia and sudden death. And there were significant changes of ECG and SAECG in some parameters (JT dispersion, HFLA). But to see the relationships between the changes of these parameters and the long term prognosis, we need to check more patients and longer follow-up.
