This research studied robust design of composite structure under combined loading of bending and torsion. DOE (Design of Experiment) technique was used to find important design factors. The results show that the beam height, beam width, layer thickness and stack angle of outer-layer are important design parameter. The $2^{nd}$ DOE and RSM (Response Surface Model) were conducted to obtain optimum design. Multi-island genetic algorithm was used to optimum design. An approximate value of 6.65 mm in deflection was expected under optimum condition. Six sigma robust design was conducted to find out guideline for control range of design parameter. To acquire six sigma level reliability, the sigma level reliability, the standard deviation of design parameter should be controlled within 2.5 % of average design value.

we consider the hp-version to solve non-constant coefficients elliptic equations $-div(a{\nabla}u)=f$ with Dirichlet boundary conditions on a bounded polygonal domain $\Omega$ in $R^2$. In [6], M. Suri obtained an optimal error-estimate for the hp-version: ${\parallel}u-u^h_p{\parallel}_{1,\Omega}{\leq}Cp^{(\sigma-1)}h^{min(p,\sigma-1)}{\parallel}u{\parallel}_{\sigma,\Omega}$. This optimal result follows under the assumption that all integrations are performed exactly. In practice, the integrals are seldom computed exactly. The numerical quadrature rule scheme is needed to compute the integrals in the variational formulation of the discrete problem. In this paper we consider a family $G_p=\{I_m\}$ of numerical quadrature rules satisfying certain properties, which can be used for calculating the integrals. Under the numerical quadrature rules we will give the variational form of our non-constant coefficients elliptic problem and derive an error estimate of ${\parallel}u-\tilde{u}^h_p{\parallel}_{1,\Omega}$.

This paper considers a six sigma project for improving the TIP life time in a spot welding process. The project follows a disciplined process of five phases: define, measure, analyze, improve, and control. A process map is used to identify process input and output variables. Nine key process input variables are selected by using C&E matrix and FMEA, and finally four vital few input variables are selected from analyze phase. The optimum process conditions of the vital few input variables are jointly obtained by maximizing TIP life time using DOE and alternative selection method.

Using transportations like railway, aviations and roads has been increasing continuously. Traffic accidents have been increasing as well. To prevent or lessen these accidents become a big issue to solve. Therefore, more enforced safety levels are being required to meet. In railway field, continuous efforts of railway safety are being executed to prevent traffic accidents. In present, a railway accident has been decreasing since subway accident happened in Daegu Subway in 2003. However, safety levels in railway field have not yet achieved as much as in advanced countries. Basic concept for enforced safety level in railway system is to prevent or minimize accidents by managing systems like related facilities, management method, organization, education. This is the same concept to minimize error rate in six sigma theory. In this paper, we are to apply six sigma techniques used in manufacturing industry to railway safety and go through ways to make more efficient railway safety system.

Background : The concept of 'service' in a hospital is based on the quality of medical staffs who serve as customer-satisfying media, and this is what distinguishes general hospitals from other business corporations in which customer satisfaction is achieved through commercial products. Thus, the internal employee satisfaction is essential in the improvement of the 'service' and subsequent 'competitiveness' of a hospital. The purpose of this study is to establish internal marketing strategies for a general hospital through regular surveys on employee satisfaction. Method : Surveys on employee satisfaction in radiology department were conducted regularly twice a year in a university hospital with 800 beds 2001 in 2004. The subjects of this study were 35 employees who work in radiology department. The authors developed the questionnaires and the surveys were conducted initially during the first 6 months of the year. After necessary improvements were made by applying 6 Sigma techniques, subsequent surveys were conducted during the latter 6 months of the year and the degree of employee satisfaction was compared. Results : Overall satisfaction increased with a constant rate and the authors were able to assess that the hospital is being gradually stabilized. The degree of satisfaction assessed by multiple choices showed only minor changes. However, as a result of focusing on the demands put forth by the employees through the open questions, the degree of satisfaction increased gradually year after year. Conclusions : It is important to heighten the internal employee satisfaction systematically and harmoniously through the assessment on the demands of the internal customers and feedback-based communications between the management officers and the staffs. Continuous surveys on the internal employee satisfaction will serve to be valuable materials in the establishment of internal marketing strategies for a general hospital.

고산기후관측소에서 2008년 8월과 9월의 Cheju ABC Plume Monsoon Experiment (CAPMEX) 기간 동안 3파장 photoacoustic soot spectrometer (PASS)로 측정된 에어로졸 흡수계수(${\sigma}_a$)와 에어로졸 산란계수(${\sigma}_s$)를 기존의 연구에서 널리 사용되고 있는 aethalometer 및 nephelometer의 동시관측 결과와 비교하였다. PASS ${\sigma}_a$의 관측결과는 aethalometer ${\sigma}_a$와 시간 변화 경향성이 매우 잘 일치했으나, 532 nm의 경우 절대값 면에서 PASS ${\sigma}_a$가 약 53% 큰 값을 보여 다소 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. PASS ${\sigma}_s$의 관측결과는 nephelometer ${\sigma}_s$와 비교했을 때, 근소한 차이로 매우 잘 일치함을 확인하였다(Bias Difference: $13.6Mm^{-1}$). 대기 중의 상대습도(RH)가 증가함에 따라 ${\sigma}_a$보다는 ${\sigma}_s$에 대한 영향이 큰 것으로 사료된다. Nephelometer ${\sigma}_s$와 PASS ${\sigma}_s$의 비율은 상대습도가 증가할수록 명확히 증가하는 경향성을 보였다. 이는 RH가 증가함에 따라서 PASS의 ${\sigma}_s$가 nephelometer ${\sigma}_s$에 비해서 상대적으로 감소하였음을 의미하며, 이러한 경향성은 RH가 70~80%를 넘어서면서 차이가 더욱 두드러지게 나타났다. Nephelometer와 aethalometer의 ${\sigma}_a$ 및 ${\sigma}_s$ 관측 결과 보다 PASS의 측정 결과로부터 산출한 $A{\AA}E$와 $S{\AA}E$가 더 크게 나타났다.

Background: It is very difficult to distinguish between a radioactive contamination source and background radiation from natural radionuclides in the marine environment by means of online monitoring system. The objective of this study was to investigate a statistical process for triggering abnormal level of count rate data measured from our on-line seawater radioactivity monitoring. Materials and Methods: Count rate data sets in time series were collected from 9 monitoring posts. All of the count rate data were measured every 15 minutes from the region of interest (ROI) for $^{137}Cs$ ($E_{\gamma}=661.6keV$) on the gamma-ray energy spectrum. The Shewhart ($3{\sigma}$), CUSUM, and Bayesian S-R control chart methods were evaluated and the comparative analysis of determination methods for count rate data was carried out in terms of the false positive incidence rate. All statistical algorithms were developed using R Programming by the authors. Results and Discussion: The $3{\sigma}$, CUSUM, and S-R analyses resulted in the average false positive incidence rate of $0.164{\pm}0.047%$, $0.064{\pm}0.0367%$, and $0.030{\pm}0.018%$, respectively. The S-R method has a lower value than that of the $3{\sigma}$ and CUSUM method, because the Bayesian S-R method use the information to evaluate a posterior distribution, even though the CUSUM control chart accumulate information from recent data points. As the result of comparison between net count rate and gross count rate measured in time series all the year at a monitoring post using the $3{\sigma}$ control charts, the two methods resulted in the false positive incidence rate of 0.142% and 0.219%, respectively. Conclusion: Bayesian S-R and CUSUM control charts are better suited for on-line seawater radioactivity monitoring with an count rate data in time series than $3{\sigma}$ control chart. However, it requires a continuous increasing trend to differentiate between a false positive and actual radioactive contamination. For the determination of count rate, the net count method is better than the gross count method because of relatively a small variation in the data points.

The studies on the carried out to investigate to determine the optimum thawing temperature and equilibration time and 1 step straw method of frozen bovine embryos. The follicular oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 medium containing 10 IU/ml PMSG(Sigma, USA), 10 IU/ml hCG(Sigma, USA), 1 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml $\beta$-estradiol(Sigma, USA) and 10% FCS for 24~48 hrs in incubator with 5% CO2 in air at 38.5$^{\circ}C$ and then matured oocytes were again cultured for 12~18 hrs with motile capacitated sperm by preincubation of heparin. The bovine embryos following dehydration by cryoprotective agents and various concentration of sucrose were directly plunged into liquid nitrogen and thawed in 3$0^{\circ}C$ water. Survival and in vitro developmental rate was defined as developmental rate on in vitro culture or FDA-test. The results are summarized as followes : 1. The equilibration time on in vitro developmental rates of bovine embryos was attained after short period of time(2.5~5 min.) in the freezing medium higher than long period of time (10~20 min.). 2. The temperature thawed at 3$0^{\circ}C$ after rapid freezing of bovine embryos resulted in a significantly higher in vitro developmental rate than did at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 35$^{\circ}C$. 3. The thawing time on in vitro developmental rates of bovine embryos was attained after short period of time(1~5 min.) in the freezing mediuim higher than long period of time(10min.). 4. The in vitro developmental rates of bovine embryos after rapid frozen-thawing by 1 step straw method in the freezing medium added 1.5M, 2.0M glycerol, DMSO, propanediol and 0.25M, 0.50M, 0.75M, 1.00M sucrose were 12.5~19.4%, 10.0~15.6%, 9.1~13.8% and 6.7~12.9%, respectively.

In this paper, the six sigma scheme together with the rigid-viscoplastic finite element method is employed to obtain the optimal metal flow lines of a hot forging according to the six sigma processes, i.e., five steps such as define, measure, analyze, improve and control. Each step is investigated in detail to meet customer's requirements through improvement of product quality. A forging simulator is used for analysis of the metal flow lines of the hot forging, manufactured by a hot press forging machine, under various conditions of major factors determined at each step. The analyzed results are examined in order to reveal the effects of major factors on the metal flow lines and the formed shapes. The effects are then used to find an optimal process and the optimal process with die is devised and tested. The comparison between the required metal flow lines and the experiments shows that the approach is effective for optimal process design in hot forging considering metal flow lines.
