The response of ship roll oscillation under random ice impulsive loads modeled by Poisson arrival process is very important in studying the safety of ships navigation in cold regions. Under both external and parametric random excitations the evolution of the probability density function of roll motion is evaluated using the path integral (PI) approach. The PI method relies on the Chapman-Kolmogorov equation, which governs the response transition probability density functions at two close intervals of time. Once the response probability density function at an early close time is specified, its value at later close time can be evaluated. The PI method is first demonstrated via simple dynamical models and then applied for ship roll dynamics under random impulsive white noise excitation.

We study the dynamic burst assembly based on traffic prediction and offset and delay differentiation in optical burst switching network. To improve existing burst assembly mechanism and build an adaptive flexible optical burst switching network, an approach called quality of service (QoS) based adaptive dynamic assembly (QADA) is proposed in this paper. QADA method takes into account current arrival traffic in prediction time adequately and performs adaptive dynamic assembly in limited burst assembly time (BAT) range. By the simulation of burst length error, the QADA method is proved better than the existing method and can achieve the small enough predictive error for real scenarios. Then the different dynamic ranges of BAT for four traffic classes are introduced to make delay differentiation. According to the limitation of BAT range, the burst assembly is classified into one-dimension limit and two-dimension limit. We draw a comparison between one-dimension and two-dimension limit with different prediction time under QoS based offset time and find that the one-dimensional approach offers better network performance, while the two-dimensional approach provides strict inter-class differentiation. Furthermore, the final simulation results in our network condition show that QADA can execute adaptive flexible burst assembly with dynamic BAT and achieve a latency reduction, delay fairness, and offset time QoS guarantee for different traffic classes.

This paper is a report of a simulation study that investigates a dynamic approach to scheduling jobs in a conventional shop floor, especially in an assemoly-type welding process. We consider both JIT arrival and JIT delivery. Various dispatching rules are tested for the following performance measures; mean flow time, rate of tardy jobs, mean tardiness, sum of mean tardiness and mean earliness. The results indicate that SPT rule is the best for the mean flow time. MSLACK that we suggest in this paper, is the best for the mean tardiness and the sum of mean tardiness and mean earliness. However, it is not clear that which rule is the best for the rate of tardy jobs.

In recent years, service delivery systems employing a self-service approach have been rapidly spreading. Since a self-service system provides a lower product price, it attracts more customers. However, some system managers are still hesitant to accept a self-service system, because there is no systematic model to predict its performance. Therefore, this research attempts to provide a systematic and quantitative model to predict the performance of a self-service system, focused specifically on a self-service gas station. Under this model, the traditional queuing theory was adopted to describe the general self-service process, but it is also assumed that some changes occur in both the customer arrival rate and the service performance rate. In particular, the price elasticity was introduced to capture the change in the customer arrival rate, and the existence of learning effect and helpers were assumed to design the changed service performance rate. Under these assumptions, a simulation model for a self-service gas station is established, and three performance measurements, such as average number of customers, average waiting time, and Utilization are observed, depending on the changes in price difference and helper-operating time. In this research, the optimal operation strategy for price differentiation and helper-operating time is proposed in accordance with the level of the customer learning rate. Although this research confines the scope of the study to the self-service gas station model, the results of this research can be applied to any type of self-service system.

Loran(LOang RAnge Navigation) 신호를 이용한 측위 시에 정확도에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 오차요소는 TOA(Time of Arrival) 측정에서의 ASF(Additional Secondary Factor)이다. 따라서 공항접근이나 항만 접안 등의 측위 정확도를 만족시키려면 먼저 정확한 ASF측정이 선행되어야 하는데, 본 연구에서는 해상에서 ASF를 측정하는 기법을 연구하였다. 그 측정방법으로 포항 Loran-C 주국(9930M)에서 송신하는 로란 신호와 로란 수신기의 기준신호를 세슘원자시계를 기준으로 측정함으로써 해상에서의 ASF를 측정하였고 영일만 해상의 12 곳의 측정지점을 3 km 간격으로 설정하여 측정하였다. 해상측정에서 정확도를 높이기 위해서 전기장 안테나와 자기장 안테나를 동시에 사용하였으며 정확한 위치측정을 위해서 DGPS(Differential GPS)수신기를 이용하였다. 이런 방법을 이용하여 해상에서 ASF를 측정함으로써 ASF 예측값과 비교한 결과를 얻었다.

Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA) estimation methods based on correlation function analysis play an important role in the micro-seismic event monitoring. It makes full use of the similarity in the recorded signals that are from the same source. However, those methods are subjected to the noise effect, particularly when the global similarity of the signals is low. This paper proposes a new approach for micro-seismic monitoring based on cross wavelet transform. The cross wavelet transform is utilized to analyse the measured signals under micro-seismic events, and the cross wavelet power spectrum is used to measure the similarity of two signals in a multi-scale dimension and subsequently identify TDOA. The offset time instant associated with the maximum cross wavelet transform spectrum power is identified as TDOA, and then the location of micro-seismic event can be identified. Individual and statistical identification tests are performed with measurement data from an in-field mine. Experimental studies demonstrate that the proposed approach significantly improves the robustness and accuracy of micro-seismic source locating in mines compared to several existing methods, such as the cross-correlation, multi-correlation, STA/LTA and Kurtosis methods.

위치 추정 기술 (LDT, Location Detection Technology)은 자원관리 및 통신 서비스의 품질을 향상시키기 위한 무선통신 분야에서 사용되고 있는 LBS(Location Based Service)의 핵심기술 중 하나이다. 이동국(MS, mobile station)의 위치는 세 개의 기지국(BS, base station)들의 좌표와 이동국과 기지국들 사이의 거리에 상응하는 반지름에 기초한 세 개의 원들에 기반한 도래시간(TOA, Time of Arrival)기법을 사용하여 추정된다. 삼각변 측량법을 이용하여 정확한 이동국의 위치를 추정하기 위해서는 세 개의 원들이 한 점에서 만나야 하는데, 이동국과 기지국의 거리를 추정하기 위한 시간지연 개수와 전송 주파수에 따라 원들의 반지름이 증가하여 세 개의 원들이 한 점에서 만나지 못하는 경우들이 발생한다. 반지름이 증가된 세 개의 원들은 여섯 개의 교점을 가지게 되고 이 교점들 중 세 개의 교점들이 특정 이동국의 좌표에 가까이 위치하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 여섯 개의 전체 교점들 중에서 세 개의 내부 교점들을 선택하는 TOA 삼각변 측량법을 위한 최단 거리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 여섯 개의 교점들 중 이동국의 좌표와 가장 가까운 세 개의 교점을 선택하고, 선택된 교점들의 평균 좌표를 특정 이동국의 위치로 결정한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 예를 통해 확인된다.

본 논문에서는 희박신호 (sparse signal) 기법을 이용하여 대역확산 (spread spectrum) 신호의 지연시간을 추정하는 초 분해능 지연시간 추정 방식을 제안한다. 지금까지 대역확산 신호의 지연시간 추정은 코릴레이션 방식이 주로 이용되어 왔으나 이 방식은 신호들이 한 PN 칩(pseudo-noise chip) 이내의 시간 차로 입사하는 경우에는 지연시간을 정확히 추정할 수 없으며 보다 정확한 추정을 위해 코릴레이션 출력에 대한 추가적인 프로세싱이 필요하다. 최근 들어 희박 신호 (sparse signal) 알고리즘이 도래각 추정 분야에서 각광을 받고 있으며 그 중 SPICE 알고리즘이 가장 대표적이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 SPICE 알고리즘을 이용하는 초 분해능 지연시간 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고 ISO/IEC 24730-2.1 RTLS 시스템에 적용하여 MUSIC 알고리즘과 성능을 비교, 분석한다.

지상파 측위와 같이 사용자와 센서간의 거리가 짧은 경우에는 GN (Gauss-Newton) 방법을 이용하여 구한 추정치가 발산하기도 한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) 측정치에 대해서는 QCLS (Quadratic Correction Least Square) 방법이 개발되었으나 추정치의 오차가 다소 크다는 문제점을 보였다. 본 논문에서는 가중최소자승법을 도입하여 기존 QCLS 방법의 성능을 개선하는 방안을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법에서 사용하는 가중행렬이 미지변수인 사용자 위치의 함수이기 때문에 먼저 가중행렬의 추정치를 구한 후 이를 이용하여 사용자 위치 추정치를 구하는 단계별 추정 방식을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 방법의 성능이 기존 QCLS 방법보다 항상 우수함을 보였으며, Gauss-Newton 방법이 수렴하는 경우 두 가지 방법이 대등한 성능을 보였다.

'Healthy Japan 21' is a new health policy that has been proposed for the 21st century: it embodies a totally new concept for its viewpoints and methods. To start with, for its goal, the focus is placed on the 'quality of life' or a life that is free of diseases, rather than mere prolongation of life. For its doctrine, the emphasis has shifted dramatically from improving the health of the entire population(the traditional approach for health improvement) to 'achieving an ideal health status for each individual. The ultimate aged society that arrives first in Japan is a society in its ultimate form for human being. Why did Japan become westernized, giving up her traditional culture? Why did she go through industrialization, sacrificing her nature? And why does she try so hard to industrialize the developing countries? These efforts are all preparation for the arrival of a ultimate aged society. During the 20th century, we believed in unlimited possibilities and expanded our social frontier. In the 21st century, on the other hand, a super-aged society(the ultimate society), a glimpse of which we have witnessed from time to time, will descend on us sooner or later. It is expected to arrive first in Japan. 'Healthy Japan 21' is intended to prepare for the arrival of the hitherto unheard of super-aged society by building the physiological basis of people. This policy is social experimentation on an immense social scale, in which questions are posed on the understanding of health, the relationship between individuals and society, the relationship between administration and citizens, the manner by which central and local governments operate, and the new relationship between prevention and therapy, 'Healthy Japan 21' may be summarized as an experiment on a huge scale directed to the ultimate form of human society, in which Japan and each of her citizens play a role and set an example for the rest of the world. Even just by considering various approaches newly suggested for this venture, one may be convinced that it is a policy with features suitable for a country that has already achieved the world's highest longevity.
