In a dynamically changing environment, the manager of a maintenance and remodeling (M/R) program is confronted with an increasing complexity of coordinating and cooperating multi-resource constrained multiple projects. The root causes of the complexity, uncertainty and interdependence, cause an internal disruption of an activity and chain reactions of disturbance propagation that deteriorate the stability and manageability of the program. This paper evaluates previous endeavors to apply production control and management techniques to the construction industry, and investigates the possibility of applying other management concepts and theories to organizational program management. In particular, this paper proposes a buffer allocation model by which periodic buffers are allocated in the flows of program constraint resources to stabilize a program master schedule instead of protecting individual activities. Comparative experiments by Monte Carlo simulations illustrate improved performance of the proposed model in terms of program's goals: productivity, flexibility, and long-term stability.

In this paper, we develope the simulation model for Ethernet passive optical networks (Ethernet-PON) by using OPNET. Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines. The simulator uses a Request/Grant TDMA MAC protocol based on IEEE 802.3ah EFM. It also executes registration, ranging and dynamic bandwidth allocation algorithm by exchanging control packets between OLT and ONUs. We have evaluated for success ratio of initial registration process and delay of late registration process. We also have simulated for dynamic TDMA protocol and static TDMA protocol in terms of channel utilization and queueing delay. We expect that this simulator can help to determine various parameters which are considered for designing Ethernet-PON system.

This paper presents a design method for an asynchronous memory with a completion signal generation circuit meeting D-I model. The proposed design method is to generates a completion signal with dummy cell and a completion signal generation circuit to indicate completion of the required read or write operation to the processor. Dividing a memory exponentially to consider delay of a bit-line and a memory cell makes memory operates as a D-I model with minimum addition of redundant circuit. The proposed memory partitioning algorithm that divides entire memory into the several partitions with a exponentially increased size reduces the memory access delay by 40% compared with a conventional partitioning method to the same size.

Estimating the first order plus time delay model on the basis of the step responses has been widely used in industry for the tuning of PID controllers. Even though various model identification methods from simple graphical approaches to complicated approaches based on least squares method have been proposed, simple approaches to incorporate noisy step responses are rarely available. In this research, we will compare and analyze recent approaches using the integrals of the step responses and develop an improved identification method to incorporate real situations more effectively.

A new model was developed in order to investigate the effects of chelating agents on the migration of a radionuclide in the form of ion or chelate. The migration behavior of the chelated radionuclide was analyzed by formulating a convective-dispersion transport equation which included a degradation of chelating agent and chelated radionuclide. The mathematical model was analytically solved and checked with the existing retardation factor. The results show that the migration velocity of the chelated radionuclide was much faster than the ionic one due to the decreased retardation. Therefore, it was concluded that a new remedial action should be developed to reduce the generation and release of chelating agents from the nuclear power plant into the environment.

The purpose of this review is to summarize current knowledge regarding animal sarcopenia and frailty models and their diagnosis indexes. In addition, we introduce the effects of exercise interventions on sarcopenia and frailty syndrome. Data collection and analysis (fifteen published articles from 2005~2017) were conducted by using keywords' sarcopenia index, frailty index, exercise and mice, and so on' in academic search engines such as Google scholar and Pubmed. Sarcopenia and frailty are the representative syndromes in elderly peoples which those symptoms can be effectively prevented or delayed by extremely adjusted long term exercise interventions (The combined oxidative and resistant exercise program might be ideal.).

The purpose of this study is to verify the causal relationship between depression and aggressiveness among adolescents. The 4-year longitudinal data collected from 2,670 4th grade elementary school students by the Korean Youth Panel study was used in this study. From the analysis result using the Autoregressive Cross-Lagged Model, the depression and aggressiveness in adolescents were continued from elementary school 4th grade to middle school 7th grade in significant stability. In addition, the previous aggressiveness turned out to have significant positive effect on the later period depression. Similarly, the previous depression had significant effect on the later aggressiveness, but the direction was negative. This means that the adolescents's depression increases as their aggressiveness increases, but as the depression increases, the later aggressiveness of the adolescents decreases. There were no differences between girls and boys within the relationship of these two variables. Finally, the implication derived from the results, the limitation of this study, and suggestion for following studies were presented.

To cope with the development of alternative fuels and international environmental regulations, this study provides a numerical analysis of the effects of composition and temperature changes of n-decane and ethanol on auto-ignition characteristics. CHEMKIN-PRO is used as the analysis program and the LLNL model is used as the reaction model. The numerical results show that the ignition delay time increases as the mole fraction of ethanol increases for temperatures below 1000 K, where low temperature reactions occur. Because of the high octane number of ethanol, the high percentage of ethanol delays the increase in the concentration of OH radicals that cause ignition. The oxygen concentration in the mixture is changed to apply the exhaust gas recirculation and a numerical analysis is then performed. As the oxygen concentration decreases, the total ignition delay time increases because the nitrogen gas acts as a thermal load in the combustion chamber.

A broadband access network in B- ISDN subscriber network, plays a role of concentration or multiplexing of various subscribers into a service node. To establish an end-to-end ATM connection, interworking functions between \'B5.2 interface's connection protocol and the signalling protocol, are perfonned at the service node. A sequential interworking model and a parallel interworking model were proposed for these interworking functions. The sequential interworking model proceeds the signalling protocol of network node after the response of VB5.2 interface protocol. On the other hand, the parallel interworking model proceeds the signalling protocol and the VB5.2 interface protocol simultaneously. In this paper, we analyze and simulate above two interworking models in tenns of a connection setup delay and completion ratio, when call requests with eBR and VBR transfer capability arrive at the service node. We observed that the completion ratios of the two interworking models are quite closed. However the connection setup delay of parallel interworking model is improved by about 33% compared with that of the sequential interworking model.

In the paper, we propose a new method for power optimization that uses path balancing based on stochastic estimation of glitch in Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA). The proposed method estimates the probability of glitch occurrence using tightness probability of each node in timing graph. In addition, we propose efficient gate sizing technique for glitch reduction using accurate calculation of sizing effect in delay considering probability of glitch occurrence. The efficiency of proposed method has been verified on ISCAS85 benchmark circuits with $0.16{\mu}m$ model parameters. Experimental results show up to 8.6% of accuracy improvement in glitch estimation and 9.5% of optimization improvement.
