  • In this research, schedule optimization is defined as balancing the number of workers while keeping the demand and needs of the project resources, creating the perfect schedule for each activity. Therefore, when one optimizes a schedule, multiple potentials of schedule changes are assessed to get an instant view of changes that avoid any over and under staffing while maximizing productivity levels for the available labor cost. Optimizing the number of workers in the scheduling process is not a simple task since it usually involves many different factors to be considered such as the development of quantity take-offs, cost estimating, scheduling, direct/indirect costs, and borrowing costs in cash flow while each factor affecting the others simultaneously. That is why the optimization process usually requires complex computational simulations/modeling. This research attempts to find an optimal selection of daily maximum workers in a project while considering the impacts of other factors at the same time through OPEN BIM based multiple computer simulations in resource leveling. This paper integrates several different processes such as quantity take-offs, cost estimating, and scheduling processes through computer aided simulations and prediction in generating/comparing different outcomes of each process. To achieve interoperability among different simulation processes, this research utilized data exchanges supported by building SMART-IFC effort in automating the data extraction and retrieval. Numerous computer simulations were run, which included necessary aspects of construction scheduling, to produce sufficient alternatives for a given project.

  • Computer simulations were conducted to demonstrate the generation of microwave-induced thermoacoustic signal. The simulations began with modelling an object with a biological tissue characteristic and irradiating it with a microwave pulse. The time-varying heating function data at every particular point on the illuminated object were obtained from absorbed electric field data from the simulation result. The thermoacoustic signal received at a point transducer at a particular distance from the object was generated by applying heating function data to the thermoacoustic equation. These simulations can be used as a foundation for understanding how thermoacoustic signal is generated and can be applied as a basis for thermoacoustic imaging simulations and experiments in future research.

  • Computer simulations of a pdp discharges provide unique information necessary for their analysis, unavailable otherwise. Statistical instability of the ramp discharge and the role of exoemission, nature of striations during sustain discharge, physical mechanism responsible for the propagation of the cathode ionization wave, and line loading effects are just a few examples when simulations can be successfully used.

  • The study is to probe a technical alternative to enhance the reliability and accuracy of the results of various landscape simulations. This study to present technical criteria that are necessary in each stage of target site analysis, picture taking, and computer synthesis and, through these to present supplementary plans to enhance the reliability and accuracy of landscape simulations. In order to derive more practical and empirical results in terms of the reliability of the results of landscape simulations, examples that actually passed landscape review were selected. With regard to study process, an analysis was made first to analyze the landscape report data of designs that passed the review to analyze their characteristics, to be followed by an integrated analysis of problems that were revealed in various landscape simulations. Important factors that affect directly the work of landscape simulations such as the specification of camera lenses that were used in picture taking, distance, and angle. Design the work was carried out using Auto CAD, 3DS Max, and Photoshop program in the same way as in actual design. For verification of their accuracy and reliability, the results were entrusted to experts who have implemented similar jobs. To seduce differences from those too landscape simulations that conduct trial experiment of the virtual space that are to be created in the future with accurate numerical values.

  • Many papers have studied computer-aided simulations of elastic bodies undergoing large deflections and large deformations. But there have been few attempts to validate their numerical formulations used in these studies. The main aim of this paper is to validate the absolute nodal coordinate formulation (ANCF) by comparing the results to experimental measurements on beams. Physical experiments with a high-speed camera were carried out to capture the large displacement of the beam and to verify the results of computer simulations. To consider the damping forces, the Rayleigh's damping and quadratic damping are employed and compared to the experimental results, respectively. Numerical results obtained from computer simulations were compared with the results from the physical experiments according to the $1^{st}$ mode and the $2^{nd}$ mode of the beam, respectively.

  • In this paper, we evaluate the performance of a transient queueing approximation when it is applied to modeling computer communication networks. An operational computer network that uses the ISO IS-IS(Intermediate System-Intermediate System) routing protocol is modeled as a Jackson network. The primary goal of the approximation pursued in the study was to provide transient queue statistics comparable in accuracy to the results from conventional Monte Carlo simulations. A closure approximation of the M/M/1 queueing system was extended to the general Jackson network in order to obtain transient queue statistics. The performance of the approximation was compared to a discrete event simulation under nonstationary conditions. The transient results from the two simulations are compared on the basis of queue size and computer execution time. Under nonstationary conditions, the approximations for the mean and variance of the number of packets in the queue erer fairly close to the simulation values. The approximation offered substantial speed improvements over the discrete event simulation. The closure approximation provided a good alternative Monte Carlo simulation of the computer networks.

  • In this paper, a discrete-time S-dimensional chaos circuit (S = 1,2,3,4,...) with array structure is proposed. By employing array structure which consists of 1-dimensional chaos circuits, the proposed circuit can achieve long working-life. This feature is favorable to exploit as a building block of chaos application systems to get into home electric appliances. Further more, the proposed circuit synthesized using switched-current (SI) techniques is suitable for integration. Concerning the proposed circuit, SPICE simulations are performed. SPICE simulations showed that the proposed circuit can generate the chaotic signals in spite of the fault of the building blocks of the proposed circuit. The proposed circuit is integrable by a standard BiCMOS technology.
