For efficient operation, vital hand controls must be easily controlled by the operator from his or her normal working position. The primary working area based on the operator-perceived working comfort was developed to serve as a design guideline to the control panel layout. Six male and four female subjects voluntarily participated in the experiment in which working comfort was measured for two types of controls - knob and lever. The operator-perceived working comfort was examined for the frontal and sagittal distances from the body center and the slope of a work surface. The response surface methodology using a central composite design was employed to develop a prediction model for operator's working comfort on each type of controls. The proposed working areas based on the actual working comfort of an operator avoided the dichotomy that considers only the reachability of control devices, and showed a distinct shape, when compared to the existing normal working areas following the Farley's concept. It was shown that the distance from the body to control devices and the slope of a work surface have a quadratic relationship to the working comfort, and that the most comfortable area for seated tasks is located at the distance of about 2∼4 cm in the sagittal direction and about 42∼43 cm in the frontal direction from the shoulder, respectively. It was also found that the working comfort varies within the working area even at the positions with an equal distance from the body. It is expected that the isocomfort working area generated in the study will be used as a useful guideline for control panel layout.

The Northeast Asia has been the fastest growing region in the world for the past few decades. And now the economic bloc maintains its status as a major powerhouse of the world economy. On the way of its economic growth, Russia and Central Asian countries have emerged as major trading partners. The Trans-Siberian Railway(TSR) has been playing a pivotal role in promoting economic cooperation between the two regions. This paper investigates economic environment of the Korean TSR service operators through the SWOT analysis, then proposes management strategies for them. For this purpose, the authors analyze characteristics and roles of the TSR service operators. In addition, a comparison of difference between service operators and shippers about their recognition of economic environment of the TSR transportation service is also carried out.

The paper is devoted to study local convergence of a continuation method under the assumption of majorant conditions. The method is used to approximate a zero of an operator in Banach space and is of third order. It is seen that the famous Kantorovich-type and Smale-type conditions are special cases of our majorant conditions. This infers that our result is a generalized one in comparison to results based on Kantorovich-type and Smale-type conditions. Finally a number of numerical examples have been computed to show applicability of the convergence analysis.

Let {${\xi}_k,\;k\;{\in}\;{\mathbb{Z}}$} be a strictly stationary associated sequence of H-valued random variables with $E{\xi}_k\;=\;0$ and $E{\parallel}{\xi}_k{\parallel}^2\;<\;{\infty}$ and {$a_k,\;k\;{\in}\;{\mathbb{Z}}$} a sequence of linear operators such that ${\sum}_{j=-{\infty}}^{\infty}\;{\parallel}a_j{\parallel}_{L(H)}\;<\;{\infty}$. For a linear process $X_k\;=\;{\sum}_{j=-{\infty}}^{\infty}\;a_j{\xi}_{k-j}$ we derive that {$X_k} fulfills the functional central limit theorem.

Serious electrical problems, such as shorts, ground faults, or circuits, often cause fire events in the fire proof zone of nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety-related systems and equipment. The fire event can be treated with the basic design principle that safety systems should maintain their functions with redundancy and independency. In the case of a cable fire in the main control room, operators cannot perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, incorrect indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and result in disastrous conditions. Therefore, during a main control room fire, 5 minutes of operator action time is very important to operate the safety shutdown components. This paper describes the cable functional failure temperature criteria and conducted a cable functional failure time evaluation using Fire Dynamic Simulator to obtain the operator action time for a main control room fire.

We investigate the eigenvalues of the semi-circulant preconditioned matrix for the finite difference scheme corresponding to the second-order elliptic operator with the variable coefficients given by $L_vu\;:=-{\Delta}u+a(x,\;y)u_x+b(x,\;y)u_y+d(x,\;y)u$, where a and b are continuously differentiable functions and d is a positive bounded function. The semi-circulant preconditioning operator $L_cu$ is constructed by using the leading term of $L_vu$ plus the constant reaction term such that $L_cu\;:=-{\Delta}u+d_cu$. Using the field of values arguments, we show that the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are clustered at some number. Some numerical evidences are also provided.

In the present note, we study some approximation properties of the Szász type operators based on Charlier polynomials introduced by S. Varma and F. Taşdelen (Math. Comput. Modelling, 56 (5-6) (2012) 108-112). We establish the rates of A-statistical convergence of these operators. Finally, we prove a Voronovskaja type approximation theorem and local approximation theorem via the concept of A-statistical convergence.

As a continuation to the study in [8, 12, 15, 17], we construct bi-conservative central normal (BCN) and bi-conservative asymptomatic normal (BAN) ruled surfaces in Euclidean 3-space ${\mathbb{E}}^3$. For such surfaces, local study is given and some examples are constructed using computer aided geometric design (CAGD).

The weighted shifts have been made a central role in the study of κ-hyponormality for hyponormal and subnormal operators in discrete notion. In this note we discuss the κ-hyponormality of weighted translation semigroups with a symbol function in continuous notion.

Differential subordination and superordination results associated with a generalized Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function in the open unit disk are obtained by investigating appropriate classes of admissible functions. In particular some inequalities for generalized Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function are obtained.
