We compared a CONWIP(constant work-in-process) system with a kanban system in a production line with constant processing times. Based on the observation that a WIP-controlled line production system such as CONWIP and kanban is equivalent to a m-node tandem queue with finite buffer, we applied a max-plus algebra based solution method for the tandem queue to evaluate the performance of two systems. Numerical examples with 6 workstations were used to demonstrate the proposed analysis. The numerical results support the previous studies that CONWIP outperforms kanban in terms of expected waiting time and WIP. Unlike the kanban case, sequencing workstations in a CONWIP does not affect the performance of the system.

This paper considers designing the simple (2-level) constant-and step-stress ALTs minimizing the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the accelaeration factor, which is defined as the ratio of the 100qth percentile at use stress to that a specified stress, for items having lognormally-distributed lives. It is assumed that (i) the log-linear relationship exists between the stress and the mean log life, (ii) the standard deviation of the log life is constant, and (iii) the cumulative exposure model holds for the effect of changing stress. For the constant-stress ALT the low stress and the sample proportion allocated to low stress are determined and for two modes of stress loading of step-stress ALTs, the low-to-high and high-to-low, the low stress and the stress change time are determined. For selected values of the design parameters the optimum plans are figured, two modes of step-stress ALTs and the constant-stress ALT are compared to each other, and the effects of the incorrect pre-estimates of the design parameters are investigated.

This paper proposes a control scheme to reduce the power consumption of a variable displacement swash-plate type piston pump supplying oil to a valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder at constant pressure. Whenever flow rate demand was absent, the swash plate angle and the pump speed were changed to the minimum values required to compensate for the internal leakage flow. In response to command signals, the pump speed was changed in proportion to the absolute mean value of the speed component for position commands. At the same time, a pressure regulator was activated to maintain constant system pressure by precisely adjusting the pump speed with the swash plate angle fixed at the maximum. The conventional system consisting of a pressure-compensated variable displacement type pump is driven at a constant speed of 1,800rpm. By comparison, computer simulation and experimental results showed that idling power at stand-by status could be reduced by up to 70% by reducing the pump speed from 1,800rpm to 300rpm and the swash plate angle to the minimum.

Focusing on the idea that the equation of exponential smoothing method (ESM) is equivalent to (1, 1) order ARMA model equation, new method of estimation of smoothing constant in exponential smoothing method is proposed before by us which satisfies minimum variance of forecasting error. Theoretical solution was derived in a simple way. Mere application of ESM does not make good forecasting accuracy for the time series which has non-linear trend and/or trend by month. A new method to cope with this issue is required. In this paper, combining the trend removal method with this method, we aim to improve forecasting accuracy. An approach to this method is executed in the following method. Trend removal by a linear function is applied to the original shipping data of consumer goods. The combination of linear and non-linear function is also introduced in trend removal. For the comparison, monthly trend is removed after that. Theoretical solution of smoothing constant of ESM is calculated for both of the monthly trend removing data and the non monthly trend removing data. Then forecasting is executed on these data. The new method shows that it is useful especially for the time series that has stable characteristics and has rather strong seasonal trend and also the case that has non-linear trend. The effectiveness of this method should be examined in various cases.

이 연구는 상수 공정 시간을 갖는 라인생산시스템에서 CONWIP과 DBR이 각각 max-plus 선형시스템의 특수형태임을 밝히고 max-plus 대수에 기반한 안정대기시간 연구결과를 이용하여 CONWIP와 DBR의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. CONWIP의 경우, 생산시스템 내의 체류시간은 DBR의 경우보다 항상 짧다는 사실이 수학적으로 규명되었고 예제를 통해 계산, 비교되었다. 한편 두 경우에서 모두, 애로공정이후 노드에서의 대기시간은 유한버퍼의 크기와 공정의 순서에 무관함을 확인하였다. CONWIP에서는 시스템 내 평균 대기시간 또는 체류시간이 공정의 순서에 무관하지만, DBR에서는 애로공정이 뒤로 갈수록 감소함을 확인하였다.

Newmark방법과 같은 직접시간적분법은 시간증분 구간 사이에서 하중이 변하더라도 하중값을 그 시간 구간에서 일정한 하중으로 사용하기 때문에 일정진폭하중과 같은 연속적인 하중함수를 불연속적인 하중함수로 가정하고 수치계산을 수행한다. 따라서 이러한 하중함수의 근사에 따른 오차로 인하여 정확한 수치결과를 계산할 수 없다. 이에 반해, Gurtin의 변분식 에 기초한 유한요소방정식은 하중함수를 시간이력에 대하여 합성적분하여 계산한다. 따라서 시간증분 구간에서 하중이 변하더라도 연속적인 하중함수의 곡선을 따라 가면서 계산하기 때문에 신뢰할 수 있는 수치결과를 구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 1차원 막대의 자유단에서 일정진폭하중을 받는 문제를 수치해석하여 Gurtin방법이 Newmark방법 보다 일정진폭하중을 받는 문제에 더 적합한 방법임을 보인다. 또한, Gurtin방법이 일정한 하중을 받는 문제보다 일정진폭하중을 받는 문제에 더 효과적인 방법임을 보인다. Gurtin방법을 FORTRAN으로 프로그래밍하여 해석한 수치결과와 해석용 소프트웨어인 ADINA의 Newmark방법에 의한 수치결과를 비교하여 제시된 수치해의 정확성과 타당성을 검증한다.

In U.S.A., minimum wage of New Jersey in April 1, 1992 rose from $4.25 to $5.05. At this assession, there was survey by 410 numbers related back and pro minimum wage in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.. At stores of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, comparison of the increase of employment at constant minimum wag is with estimative effect of increase of minimum wage. Through comparison of stores of low wage and high wage above $5, employment volatility in New Jersey was studied. In U.S.A., increase of minimum wage was not caused to reduce to employment. Contrary to this, result of Korea was not consisted after timing of IMF bailout of 1997. It is because drop of revenue was caused to decrease employees of part-time and full-time job at the viewpoint of cost minimization.

본 논문에서는 디지털 전송시 시분산 통신 채널에서 발생되는 부호간 간섭을 최소화시키기 위한 블라인드 등화 알고리즘인 ISCA (Improved Square Contour Algorithm)과 MSCA (Modified Square Contour Algorithm)의 성능을 비교하였다. 송신 신호는 통신 채널에서 진폭과 위상 전달 특성의 비선형성으로 인하여 대역 제한 및 시분산되어 수신될 것이므로 수신측에서 적응 등화기를 사용하여 찌그러짐을 보상한 후 검출기를 통과시켜 "1"과 "0"을 판정하게 된다. 이때 수신기에서 사용되는 적응 등화기의 알고리즘에서는 Constellation Dependent Constant가 매우 중요한 역할을 하며, 이의 계산을 위하여 ISCA와 MSCA에서는 2차 통계치만 이용하였다. 다른 알고리즘에 비해 비교적 간단한 연산으로 이들 2 가지의 전달 특성을 동시에 보상할 수 있는 알고리즘인 ISCA와 MSCA는 존의 SCA (Square Contour Algorithm) 알고리즘 성능을 더욱 개선시킨 것으로 이들의 성능을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다. 이를 위하여 복원 성상도, 잔류 isi양 및 MSE를 사용하였으며, 성능의 비교 결과 모든 비교 지수에서 ISCA 알고리즘이 MSCA 알고리즘보다 우월함을 확인하였다. 그러나 등화 알고리즘이 정상 상태에서는 MSCA의 CME항에 의하여 성능의 미소 변화량이 ISCA 보다 적어져서 높은 안정성을 얻을 수 있었다.

The definition of cancer, its diagnosis and its prognosis all depend upon description of growth. To the layman a synonym for cancer is a "growth". There are no quantitative terms for the description of growth or growth rate in clinical use. There has been no attempt to assign values that would define "rapidly" or "slowly" growing. Estimates of growth potentiality are implied in the descriptive phrases "poorly differentiated" or "well differentiated", "highly malignant" or "low grade malignancy". and in systems of grading. These qualifying terms represent a personal impression, clinically useful in prognosis, but relative in nature. They do not lend themselves to uniform application or precise measurement for purpose of comparison. Growth is related to size and time. The volume of tumor depends upon the duration of the period of growth and the rate of growth. If the interval and change in volume are known. the average growth rate can be determined. If the growth rate is determined, and assumed to be constant., the duration of a given tumor and the time of inception can be estimated. The commonest concept of the origin of cancer is that as a result of a mutation involving a single cell, succeeding divisions of cells establish a colony with the characteristics recognizable as cancer. If the growth rate of the hypothetical tumor were constant it could be described in terms of "tumor volume doubling time". In the department of thoracic surgery of St. Mary hospital in Catholic Medical College, a clinical evaluation for the growth rate, degree of malignancy, resectability and prognosis was done on a total 24 cases of primary bronchogenic carcinoma which contour was significant on the chest X-ray film as possible estimating the tumor volume doubling time. The following results were obtained: 1. In the cases of 6.0cm or more in diameter of minor size at operation the resectability rate was lower and in the cases of 60 days or more in the tumor or volume doubling time the resectability rate was higher. 2. If differentiation of cancer cells was lower graded in tissue pathology, the tumor volume was shorter and the resectability rate was lower. 3. The tumor volume doubling time of the primary bronchogenic carcinoma occured more over 60 years of age was slightly shorter than under 60 years of age. 4. The tumor size at operation was more important to evaluate the survival time and prognosis than the tumor volume doubling time because the tumor growth was not always constant, we presume.mor volume doubling time because the tumor growth was not always constant, we presume.

LSP(Line Spectrum Pairs) Parameter is used for speech analysis in vocoders or recognizers since it has advantages of constant spectrum sensitivity. low spectrum distortion and easy linear interpolation. However the method of transforming LPC(Linear Predictive Coding) into LSP is so complex that it takes much time to compute. Among conventional methods, the real root method is considerably simpler than others, but nevertheless, it still suffers from its jndeterministic computation time because the root searching is processed sequentially in frequency region. We suggest a method of reducing the LSP transformation time using voice characteristics The proposed method is to apply search order and interval differently according to the distribution of LSP parameters. in comparison with the conventional real root method, the proposed method results in about 46.5% reduction. And, the total computation time is reduce to about 5% in the G.723.1 vocoder.
