In this paper, in order to evaluate the performance of IS-95 system reverse link in white gaussian noise and rayleigh fading environment, we suggest epochal proposal to improve computer run-time and its efficiency is verified in terms of the number of samples. MC(Monte Carlo) simulation is the most popular simulation technique lately, but MC simulation requires a number of samples at low bit error rate. Therefore, MC cannot avoid the limit of computer run-time. To alleviate these problems, we apply the suggested method called central moment technique to the reverse link of the IS-95 system and can obtain discrete probability mass functions from Nth order central moments of the less number of received signal samples than those required in MC. Continuous cumulative probability distribution function can be accurately estimated by using interpolation and the improvement effect for the number of samples is proven.

In this study, it is attempted to examine (1) the residual deformation and elastic deformation induced from the repeated loads (up to the maximum of 100,000 times) on fully compacted soil specimen, the relation between stress and strain by performing the unconfined compressive test, after repeated loads and (2) the effect of water content, dry density, number of cycle, repeated loads, etc. on the effect of the stress-strain relation. The rate of deformation caused by repeated loads greatly depends on to the condition whether the water content is above or below the plastic limit. It is possible to estimate the initial tangent modulus of soil by means of modulus of elastic deformation obtained by putting repeated loads on the clay soil.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the optimum recycling methods for the sewage sludge cakes at different microwave power-settings and for different periods of time. The dehydrated sewage sludge cakes used in this study was obtained from N wastewater treatment plan in the P City. The beginning drying processes were carried out in a microwave oven with 2,450 MHz frequency and power ranges of 1kW to 4 kW. The continuous conveyer drying system was also operated with 2,450 MHz frequency and power setting, ranging from of 1 kW to 6 kW. Initial moisture content of the sewage cake is 78~80%, and the moisture content decreased rapidly up to 0.2~2(wt%) within short periods due to breaking the cell walls. This study is also conducted to evaluate the characteristics of sewage sludge cakes with respect to important physical parameters effect on the thermal kinetics for evaporation water in the sludge which are operation times, moisture contents, drying rates, input amounts, flow rates and calorific values. It takes 60 minutes and 120 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with power setting of 4 kW for 3kg/min and 6kg/min of the flow rates respectively. It takes 120 minutes and 110 minutes to reach the critical moisture contents with flow rates of 2.5 cm/min and sludge input of 6kg/min for the power settings of 4 kW and 6 kW respectively. The most effective value of the power for drying the sludge is 4 kW. Operation with 6kg/min and 4kW on 2cm of the sludge thickness can be effectively and inexpensively to reach the critical moisture contents, when you compare 2cm of the sludge thickness with 1cm and 3cm of the sludge thickness.

A stochastic reliability analysis model has been developed for evaluating the time-dependent stability performance of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters subjected to the multiple loads of arbitrary magnitudes which could be occurred randomly. The initial structural capacities and the damage rates of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters could be estimated as a function of the incident wave height with a given return period by using the modified Hudson's formula and Melby's formula. The structural stability performances of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters could be analyzed in detail through the lifetime reliability investigations according to the limit states such as the serviceability or ultimate limit state and the conditions of multiple loads. Finally, repair intervals for the structural management of armor units of rubble-mound breakwaters could quantitatively be evaluated by a new approach suggested in this paper that has been based on the target probability for repair and the accumulated probabilities of failure obtained from the present stochastic reliability analysis model.

This research has been conducted to suggest an estimation equation of compression index to be practically applied to the southeastern areas by finding out physical and mechanical characteristics of 229 points on the southeastern coast areas (Busan area: 78 points, Gimhae area: 103 points, Geoje area: 18 points, Changwon area: 30 points) through indoor tests and analyzing its relation to the compression index. From the results, we could not only find out correlation between natural water content, liquid limit and initial void ratio versus compression index for soft ground on each of the southeastern coast areas, but also an integrated correlation equation of the southeastern coast areas. In addition, we have performed a comparative analysis of the existing estimated equation of compression index and that found in this paper. As a result, the existing estimated equation suggested by foreign researchers has shown considerable error to be applied to the soft ground on the southeastern coast areas in Korea. The estimated equation of compression index with the water content out of the existing estimated equations has shown minimum 10.8% to maximum 48.1% of error rate, minimum 13.4% to maximum 288.5% of error rate with liquid limit or minimum 9.4% to maximum 211.4% of error rate with initial void ratio. On the other hand, error rates calculated with the estimated equations of compression index from this research have shown minimum 10.5% to maximum 13.4% with water content, minimum 11.6% to maximum 21.3 with liquid limit or minimum 7.1% to maximum 11.7% with initial void ratio, for better results than those with existing estimated equations. In addition, relation between compression index and expansion index has shown Cs = (1/5 ~ 1/12)Cc similar to the existing relation of Cs = (1/5 ~ 1/10)Cc.

The aim of this study is to establish a synthetical optimal method that simultaneously analyze and design reinforced concrete flat slab-column structures involving multi-constraints and multi-design variables. The variables adopted in this mathematical models consist of design variables including sectional sizes and steel areas of frames, and analysis variable of the ratio of bending moment redistribution. The cost function is taken as the objective function in the formulation of optimal problems. A number of constraint equations, involving the ultimate limit state and the serviceability limit state, is derived in accordance with BSI CP110 requirements on the basis of limit state design theory. Both objective function and constraint equations derived from design variables and an analysis variable generally become high degree nonlinear problems. Using SLP as an analytical method of nonlinear optimal problems, an optimal algorithm is developed so as to analyze and design the structures considered in this study. The developed algorithm is directly applied to a few reinforced concrete flat slab-column structures to assure the validity of it and the possibility of optimization From the research it is found that the algorithm developed in this study is applicable to the optimization of reinforced concrete flat slab column structures and it converges to a optimal solution with 4 to 6 iterations regardless of initial variables. The result shows that an economical design can be possible when compared with conventional designs. It is also found that considering the ratio of bending moment redistribution as a variable is reasonable. It has a great effect on the composition of optimal sections and the economy of structures.

Anion exchange membranes can be used for reverse electrodialysis for electric energy generation, and capacitive deionization for water purification, as well as electrodialysis for desalination. In this study, anion exchange membranes of poly((vinylbenzyl) trimethylammonium chloride-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)/poly(vinyl alcohol) were prepared through the polymerization of (vinylbenzyl)trimethylammonium chloride and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate in aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) solutions, esterification with glutaric acid, and cross-linking reaction with glutaraldehyde. We investigated electrochemical properties for the anion exchange membranes prepared according to experimental conditions. Ion exchange capacity and electrical resistance for the membranes were changed with a variation in the monomer ratio in polymerization. Water uptake and conductivity for the membranes decreased with an increase in the content of glutaric acid in esterification. The change in the time of crosslinking reaction with the formed film and glutaraldehyde affected electrochemical properties such as water uptake, conductivity, or transport number for the membranes. Chronopotentiometry and limiting current density for the anion exchange membranes prepared were measured.

수리가능 제품은 가격 비싸고 중요성이 크면서 새 제품을 구매하기 어려운 부품을 의미하며, 항공기 또는 선박의 엔진 등을 들 수 있다. 수리가능 제품에 대하여 고장이 발생할 경우 가용성을 유지하기 위하여 즉지 교체하여야 하고, 교체된 부품은 수리에 들어가야 한다. 이러한 문제에 대한 통제 시스템은 시스템의 효율성을 결정하는 중요한 요소이기 때문에, 다양한 시스템 구성에 대하여 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 우선 중앙 수리기지와 여러 지역 수리기지를 대상으로 하고 있으며, 물류량의 변화에 따라 중앙 수리기지와 지역 수리기지 간의 효과적인 운영 방안을 고려하고 있다. 각 지역 수리기지는 수리 운영 능력이 제한되어 있는 것으로 가정하고 있으며, 한정된 수의 여분의 제품을 유지하고 있다. 중앙 수리기지는 여분을 제품을 보유하거나 유지하지 않고 오직 수리 작업만을 수행하고 있다. 유한 가동에 대한 효율적인 알고리즘은 이러한 상황에 대하여 운영 능력의 한계를 고려하면서 효율성을 최대화하기 위하여 개발되었다. 지역 수리기지에서는 제품의 고장이 발생하는 속도와 현재 보유한 제품 수량에 따라 효율성이 바뀌고, 시스템이 보유할 수 있는 재고량과 수리할 수 있는 능력의 한계가 제한되어 있다. 대기행렬이론에 기반하여 고장율과 수리율에 의한 비용 함수를 정의하고, 최적해를 구할 수 있는 IMES(지능형 다단물류 시스템)을 개발하였다. 총 예상 재고량에 의한 재고 비용과 품절 비용을 최소화함으로써 최적의 보유 재고수량을 찾아내고 실제로 사용자가 활용할 수 있는 시간 내에 해를 구할 수 있는 효율성을 갖춘 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 전체 시스템의 총비용을 최소화하는 것이며, 예제를 통하여 알고리듬을 묘사하고 수치예제를 통한 실험을 실시하여 제안 알고리듬이 정확하고 효율적임을 보였다. 제안된 알고리즘에 의하여 매우 정확하고 효율적인 계산 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이 방법을 통해 신속하고 정확하게 많은 문제를 해결할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 양생온도의 영향에 따른 콘크리트의 장기강도 예측식을 개발하고, 기존에 보고된 데이터를 이용하여 제안식의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위한 것이다. 제안식은 반응률상수 모델을 이용하였으며, 콘크리트의 장기강도에 영향을 미치는 인자로 양생온도에 따른 확산장벽의 효과를 고려하였다. 제안식을 검증하기위하여 각각의 데이터를 28일 상대강도의비로바꾸어 -0.6~59.7$^{\circ}C$ 범위의 8개의 평균 양생온도에 대해서 회귀분석하였다. 회귀분석을통해 제안식의 온도 영향계수인 반응율상수, 한계강도, 반응지수를 양생온도에 따른 함수식으로 표현하였다. 제안식은 기존의모델식에 비해 신뢰성이 높았으며, 초기재령에서는 기존의 모델식등과 큰 차이를나타내지 않았으나 장기재령으로 갈수록 제안식의 정확도가 크게 높아짐을 알 수 있었다.

현재의 예방정비계획 운영 방법은 KPX에서 발전 사업자들로부터 희망하는 자신들의 발전기 예방정비계획 일정을 받아서 공급예비력 기준을 만족하면 승인을 해주는 방법으로 진행되고 있다. 이는 경제적인 부분을 예방정비계획 수립에 반영하지 못하고 계통의 신뢰도 측면만을 판단하는 것으로 생각할 수 있다. 따라서 발전비용을 최소화하는 예방정비계획 최적화 모델을 적용하여 예방정비계획 수립 시 경제성을 반영하려 한다. 이를 통해 연발전비용을 낮추면서 연평균 SMP 또한 낮춤으로서 한전과 발전사업자 모두에게 이익을 가져다 줄 수 있는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비용 최소화를 목적함수로 하는 tool을 적용한 예방정비계획 최적 값과 기존의 예방정비계획을 공급예비율, 계통한계가격(System Marginal Price, SMP), 발전비용 세 가지로 나눠 비교하고 신뢰도와 경제성을 고려한 최적 예방정비계획을 수립하였다.
