This paper proposes a method for choosing the best composite power system expansion plan considering a contingency security criterion. The proposed method minimizes the investment budget fer constructing new transmission lines subject to contingency criterion. it models the power system expansion problem as an integer programming one. The method solves for the optimal strategy using a branch and bound method that utilizes a network flow approach and the maximum flow-minimum cut set theorem. Although the proposed method is applied to a simple sample study, the test results demonstrate that the proposed method is suitable for solving the power system expansion-planning problem subject to practical future uncertainties.

In recent few years, low-power electronics has been a leading drive for technology developments nourished by rapidly growing market share. Mobile DRAM, as a fundamental block of hand-held devices, is now becoming a product developed by limitless competition. To support application specific mobile features, various new power-reduction schemes have been proposed and adopted by standardization. Tightened power budget in battery-operated systems makes conventional schemes not acceptable and increases difficulty of the circuit design. The mobile DRAM has successfully moved down to 1.5V era, and now it is about to move to 1.2V. Further voltage scaling, however, presents critical problems which must be overcome. This paper reviews critical issues in mobile DRAM design and various circuit schemes to solve the problems. Focused on analog circuits, bitline sensing, IO line sensing, refresh-related schemes, DC bias generation, and schemes for higher data rate are covered.

Piping systems of the power generating stations have been generally protected by hydraulic and mechanical snubbers which can allow large displacements arising from temperature change while those can reduce or absorb stresses due to vibrations. However these snubbers require amounts of budget for maintenance or replacement because of the leakage, lubrication and finally short life cycle. Recently the snubbers consisted of wire rope have been proved to reduce vibrations of piping systems. While the wire rope snubbers are free of maintenance such as leakage and lubrication imported price are so high. Now it is necessary to design. manufacture and certificate these wire rope snubbers.

This paper introduces a full duplex single secondary user multiple-input multiple-output (FD-SSU-MIMO) cognitive radio network, where secondary user (SU) opportunistically accesses the authorized spectrum unoccupied by primary user (PU) and transmits data based on FD-MIMO mode. Then we study the network achievable average sum-rate maximization problem under sum transmit power budget constraint at SU communication nodes. In order to solve the trade-off problem between SU's sensing time and data transmission time based on opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) and the power allocation problem based on FD-MIMO transmit mode, we propose a simple trisection algorithm to obtain the optimal sensing time and apply an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm to tackle the FD-MIMO based network achievable sum-rate maximization problem. Simulation results show that our proposed sensing time optimization and AO-based optimal power allocation strategies obtain a higher achievable average sum-rate than sequential convex approximations for matrix-variable programming (SCAMP)-based power allocation for the FD transmission mode, as well as equal power allocation for the half duplex (HD) transmission mode.

Recently, the amount of maintenance is increasing due to the aging of power facilities, but the budget is constrained. Therefore, the importance of asset management that selects replacement priorities based on the failure probability and enhances investment effects is increasing. Because the number of distribution transformers is very large, the proportion of investment cost is very high. Therefore, it is important to select the investment priority by evaluating the reliable remaining life based on the failure probability. This paper evaluates the statistical expected life using the failure data of distribution transformers for the last 11 years and the current operation data. The hazard rate of distribution transformer and MV cable was compared with each other and the adequacy of early failure removal was reviewed and the statistical expected life corresponding to the cumulative failure probability B3% was calculated.

Although the electromagnetic launcher technology has been progressed significantly during the past two decades the number of firing test facilities are not many. This is prbably due to the large budget and man power required to build and maintain full scale electromagnetic launcher facilities. As the EM launcher technology's potential capabilities have been somewhat demonstrated with the full scale large systems the research is now headed more toward overcoming specific difficulties and answering questions experimentally with smaller, cost effective systems. The first half of this paper presents EM launcher's improved sub-scaling relationships based upon magnetic, thermal and momentum differential equations and EM launcher's basic equations. With the proposed scaling method the field variables can be matched or scaled linearly between the two geometrically scaled systems. The second half of the paper presents pulsed power system's circuit analysis and design technique, which is applied to the capacitor-powered small pulsed power system with crow-barring circuitry. The effect of the so-called speed volt is included. A sub-scaled small system's design is provided as an example.

A series of system dynamics model was developed for forecasting demand and supply of human resource in the electricity industry. To forecast demand of human resource in the electric power industry, BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics) methodology was used. To forecast supply of human resource in the electric power industry, forecasting on the population of our country and the number of students in the department of electrical engineering were performed. After performing computer simulation with developed system dynamics model, it is discovered that the shortage of human resource in the electric power industry will be 3,000 persons per year from 2006 to 2015, and more than a double of current budget is required to overcome this shortage of human resource.

The feasibility of a midgap metal gate is investigated for 32nm MOSFET low power applications. The midgap metal gate MOSFET is found to deliver a driving current as high as a bandedge gate one for the low power applications if a proper retrograde channel is used. An adequate design of the retrograde channel is essential to achieve the performance requirement given in ITRS roadmap. In addition, a process simulation is run using halo implants and thermal processes to evaluate the feasibility of the necessary retrograde profile in manufacturing environments. From the thermal budget point of view, the bandedge metal gate MOSFET is more vulnerable to the following thermal process than the midgap metal gate MOSFET since it requires a steeper retrograde doping profile. Based on the results, a guideline for the gate workfunction and the channel profile in the 32 nm MOSFET is proposed.

Timer options are financial instruments proposed by Société Générale Corporate and Investment Banking in 2007. Unlike vanilla options, where the expiry date is fixed, the expiry date of timer options is determined by the investor's choice, which is in linked to a variance budget. In this study, we derive a pricing formula for hybrid options that combine timer options, digital options, and power options, considering an environment where volatility of an underlying asset follows a fast-mean-reverting process. Additionally, we aim to validate the pricing accuracy of these analytical formulas by comparing them with the results obtained from Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we conduct numerical studies on these options to analyze the impact of stochastic volatility on option's price with respect to various model parameters.
