The most part of the faculty drop a trouble and damage of machine equipment even if whatever cause they break out take place at local and trifling place and the factor dominating their trouble is due to wear debris occurred in the lubricated machine moving surface. This study has been car-ried out to identify morphology of wear debris on the lubricated machine moving system by means of computer image analysis. Namely the wear debris contained in lubricating oil extracted from movable machine equipment will be filtered through membrane filter(void diameter 0.45${\mu}m$) and will be analyzed with its data information such as 50% volume diameter aspect roundness and reflectivity. Morphological characteristic of wear debris is easily distinguished by four shape parameters it is necessary to divide small class of every 100 wear debris in total wear particles in order to distinguish morphological characteristic of wear debris more easily by computer image analysis. We are sure that operation condition diagnosis of the lubricated machine moving surfaces is possible by computer image analysis.

Telemedicine can increase accessibility to advance medical technology at the university hospital for community residents living in a remote area. This paper focused on the economic evaluation of telemedicine to identify important factors influencing costs and benefits and to understand how these factors can be changed to improve economic performance of the telemedicine. When the telemedicine project currently operating in Korea was evaluated based on the traditional cost-benefit analysis, the results showed a heavy net loss wiht a B/C ration of 0.56. As several values were added to the analysis based on the Information Economics approach, B/C ratios steadly increased. When the saving of medical expenses from the early detection of diseases was taken into a consideration, the ration exceeded the break-even point. >From the sensitivity analysis, a number of patients and the cost for equipment and communication were found to be the key factors for influencing economic performance of telemedicine.

This study aims to conduct economic analysis of the Rainbow Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) aquaculture farms in Korea. The analysis was performed based on farming cost, market price of the species and fishermen's income. We estimated the farms' economic feasibility using return on sales, the NPV, the IRR and the break-even point. The result indicated that while the profitability depends on current aquaculture production performance and market situation, the business operation is up to price and aquaculture production of species. According to sensitivity analyses of price and yield, aquaculture business becomes poorer with lower price and production.

The multiple steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) event scenario with available safety systems was experimentally and analytically evaluated. The experiment was conducted on the large scaled test facility to simulate the multiple SGTR event and investigate the effectiveness of operator actions. As a result, it indicated that the opening of pressurizer power operated relief valve was significantly effective in quickly terminating the primary-to-secondary break flow even for the 6.5 tubes rupture. In the analysis, the recent version of RELAP5 code was assessed with the test data. It indicated that the calculations agreed well with the measured data and that the plant responses such as the water level and relief valve cycling in the damaged steam generator were reasonably predicted. Finally, sensitivity study on the number of ruptured tubes up to 10 tubes was performed to investigate the coolant release into atmosphere. It indicated that the integrated steam mass released was not significantly varied with the number of ruptured tubes although the damaged steam generator was overfilled for more than 3 tubes rupture. These findings are expected to provide useful information in understanding and evaluating the plant ability to mitigate the consequence of multiple SGTR event.

The children of sex workers in Bangladesh are denied even the most basic human rights. This article is based on recent research focused on the children of sex workers in the context of their everyday lives. The study focused on access to education and how education could be a vehicle for them to break the vicious cycle of exploitation. This was a mixed method interpretative study which employed qualitative and quantitative approaches, but in this paper only qualitative data which was generated through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions is used. Data was collected from sex workers, their children, teachers and NGO workers who participated in the study. Information has been collected for analysing the expectation of the children of sex workers and hope for the future, and the opportunities available to them during their schooling. Thematic analysis technique was used to understand the challenges and barriers faced by the children of sex workers in fulfilling their educational aspirations. The lives of the children of sex workers are marginalised by the mainstream society. Though it is very difficult to break the vicious cycle of exploitation, this research finds that education may be a stepping stone for them to create a better future. However, it is argued that the children of sex workers need income generating vocational and technical education to enable them to earn and support their family. Policy recommendations have been made in order to achieve Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals, and to provide a second chance for these vulnerable young people to have a better life.

The aim of this study is to investigate and develop the extended models for Economic Cash Amount(ECA), Cash Break Even-Point(BEP), and Cash Flow Statement(CFS) by referencing systematic literature review in the field. The study develops three extended models to determine the optimal cash amount: ECA model with interest opportunity cost, financing transaction cost and financing fail cost, ECA model with daily cash supply and interest opportunity cost, ECA model with financing fail cost and interest opportunity cost. Earnings Before Interests, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization(EBITDA) is obtained by subtracting noncash depreciation costs from Earning Before Interest and Tax(EBIT), which is efficient metric to evaluate operating cash flow. The research also develops two extended Cash BEP models, considered as interest and corporate tax, in order to indentify the break-even point as EBITDA equals zero. Furthermore, this paper proposes the modified version of CFS by introducing the reclassification of operating and financing accounts in the statement of financial position. In addition, the study also present the reclassification of five types of profit, such as gross profit, EBIT, ordinary profit, special profit, and net profit within the statement of comprehensive income. In order to provide a better understanding of the proposed cash flow models, numerical examples, such as two-sample t test and Analysis of Variance(ANOVA), are presented to demonstrate the statistical significance according to the industrial types for net working capital(i.e cash-to-cash), net profit, operating cash flow and free cash flow.

This study presents methods to estimate elastic-plastic crack opening displacement (COD) fur circumferential through-wall cracked pipes for the Leak-Before-Break (LBB) analysis of pressurized piping. Proposed methods are based not only on the GE/EPRI approach but also on the reference stress approach. For each approach, two different estimation schemes are given, one for the case when full stress-strain data are available and the other fur the case when only yield and ultimate tensile strengths are available. For the GE/EPRI approach a robust way of determining the Ramberg-Osgood (R-O) parameters is proposed, not only fur the case when detailed information on full stress-strain data is available but also for the case when only yield and ultimate tensile strengths are available. The COD estimates according to the GE/EPRI approach, using the R-O parameters determined from the proposed R-O fitting procedures, generally compare well with the published pipe test data. For the reference stress approach, the COD estimates according to the method based on both full stress-strain data and limited tensile properties are in good agreement with pipe test data. In conclusion, experimental validation given in the present study provides sufficient confidence in the use of the proposed method to practical LBB analyses even though when information on material's tensile properties is limited.

This study has made use of the work sampling for work analysis and productivity of food service institutions centering on 3 general hospitals of 400∼600 beds and centralized service system in Seoul. The results were as flollows; 1. In the mean work percent of dietitians: The indirect work functions marked the highest, as it was 22.0% for the direct work functions, 57.4% for the indirect work functions and 20.6% for the delays. Among the indirect work functions, the decreasing order was original clerical (38.1%), instruction or teaching (8.5%), conference or interview (8.5%), and appraisal (2.3%). 2. In the mean work percent of clerical personnels: The direct work functions (67.2%) marked the highest. Among those, routine clerical was 64.3%, and receiving was 2.8%. 3. In the mean work percent of workers: The direct work functions (77.4%) marked the highest. Among those, the decreasing order was service (24.7%), cooking (22.5%), cleaning (18.2%), and transportation (10.3%). 4. Work percent per labor hour: Dietitians usually continued to work even during the lunch time. In case of clerical personnel working in turn, work percent was high even during the lunch time, however in the other case, it was very low. It was shown that the workers had lunch and break time after every their service. 5. The number of meals served per labor hour were 6.3 meals, and labor time spent per served meal 9.8 minutes.

Along with the recent trend toward increasing variety and shorter life of products in the market, evaluation of risk for economic investment alternatives is of practical importance in manufacturing companies. This paper assumes that each alternative is composed of demand volume and unit sales price as income factors, and unit variable cost and fixed cost as expense factors. The paper assumes that these four factors move worse from the originally expected values, toward the direction of decreasing profit. Values of these four factors are also assumed to fluctuate from year to year over the entire multi-period. By applying the analysis of the breakeven points to each of the four factors, safer area against these changes is represented on the two dimensional domain called normalized total-cost unit-cost domain. A practical numerical example is analyzed to verify the validity of the proposed method.

쉴드TBM 터널은 NATM 터널과 달리 라이닝이 세그먼트로 분절되어 있다. 따라서 라이닝에 동일 하중이 발생되어도 NATM 터널 라이닝과 쉴드TBM 터널 라이닝의 응력 분포가 다르게 발생된다. 쉴드TBM 터널에서 라이닝에 발생되는 응력을 분석하는 대표적 방법은 연결부를 고려하지 않는 강성일체법과 링간 이음 및 세그먼트 연결을 고려하는 2링 빔스프링 모델이 있다. 본 연구는 라이닝 분절 Segmentaion을 고려한 Break-joint Mode 해석 방법이지만 세그먼트 라이닝 연결부의 구조적 역할을 고려하지 않고 마찰력 성분인 수직강성과 전단강성 만 도입된 쉘 인터페이스 요소를 이용한 모델링을 적용하여 진동하중 발생 시 라이닝의 응력 및 변위에 대한 응답결과를 분석했다. 토압 등 정적 하중에 대해 천 정부에서 가장 큰 응력이 발생되는 강성일체법과 달리 본 연구의 해석방법에 의해 발생된 세그먼트 라이닝 응력 분포는 세그먼트 연결부가 집중된 천정부 Key 세그먼트에서 가장 작은 응력이 발생하였고 연결부를 경계로 응력의 분포가 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 그리고 정적 해석 결과는 강성일체법에 발생된 라이닝 응력이 본 연구 방법에 의해 발생된 세그먼트 라이닝의 응력에 비해 최대 7배의 큰 응력이 발생되었다. 이러한 결과는 세그먼트 연결부를 고려한 기존의 2링 빔-스프링 모델의 응력분포 양상과 일치하는 결과다. 그러나 열차 진동하중에 대한 응력값은 Break-joint Mode로 해석한 본 연구방법의 응력이 강성일체법에 비해 더 큰 응력을 발생되었다. 이는 짧은 부재들의 조합으로 이루어진 세그먼트 Ring이 원주방향으로 일체로 되어 부재의 길이가 상대적으로 더 긴 강성일체법 결과에 비해 더 작은 응력이 발생되는 정역학적 개념과 상이한 결과다. 진동하중에 대해 Break-joint Mode에서 세그먼트 라이닝에 응력이 더 크게 발생된 원인은 부재의 고유주기, 감쇠비 등 동역학적 요인의 차이보다는 열차 진동하중에 대해 라이닝에 발생되는 변위의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단되지만 이에 대한 증명은 추후의 과제로 남겨두었다. 본 연구 방법의 Break-joint Mode를 이용하면 정지상태의 열차 하중에 의해 발생되는 라이닝의 응력과 변위값을 비교하여 쉴드TBM 터널의 충격계수(DIF)를 비교적 간단하게 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구는 쉴드TBM 터널의 Segmentaion을 고려한 3차원 모델링으로 추후 지진파 등 다양한 하중조건의 검토를 통해 기존 해석방법 결과와 비교하여 모델링의 추가적 신뢰성을 확보할 필요가 있다.
