The STAP system suppresses clutter and jamming of the radar signal, but required a large number of samples for optimal performance. A large number of samples increases the signal processing computation. Therefore, there is need for a transformation method for reducing the signal rank. The LCMV beamforming method can easily set the distortion-free-constraint in the direction of arrival, and the beamforming scaling is excellent, so that overall rank can be reduced. In this study, the information of target is estimated using the proposed quadratic pattern constraints(QPC) and LCMV beamforming methods. The proposed method can perform beam pattern control in a desired direction according to the number of constraint conditions as a secondary pattern constraint condition. Through simulation, the performance of the propose method is verified. As a result on th simulation, the desired target was estimated when the proposed method had an angular resolution of 10 degrees or more, but it was not possible to accurately estimate the desired target when the angular resolution was less than 10 degrees.

Background: In the process of discussion on the possibility of using radionuclide-contaminated soil and debris generated by radiation disasters, a strategy for the proper management of radiation exposure protection while considering the source of the contaminated materials is necessary. Materials and Methods: The radiological protection criteria that are likely to be applied to the source-related approach based on the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommendations and the International Atomic Energy Agency safety standards are summarized. We proposed five interpretations of radiation protection to contribute to the promotion of discussion on the possibility of using a part of low-level-radionuclide-contaminated soil and debris in the post-accident rehabilitation. Interpretations I to III are based on the idea of "using a reference level to protect the public in post-accident rehabilitation," whereas IV and V are based on the idea of "using the dose constraint to protect the public in the post-accident rehabilitation when the sources are handled in a planned activity." The former idea is subdivided into three based on the definition of the source, which is managed by the reference level, and the latter idea is divided into two depending on whether or not additional dose from using contaminated materials is deemed acceptable. Results and Discussion: To confirm the applicability of the five interpretations presented, we suggested the concrete values of protection criteria via two feasible cases. In this case study, we proposed radiation protection by the dose constraint based on the Interpretation IV and chose 1 mSv/yr for the public and 20 mSv/yr for workers dealing with radionuclide-contaminated materials. Conclusion: We concretely and systematically demonstrated how the concept of radiation protection can be applied to the process of discussion on the possibility of using radionuclide-contaminated materials within the framework of an international system of protection. This study's findings can provide necessary information to discuss the possibility of using radionuclide-contaminated materials as an alternative option for recovery and reconstruction after a radiation disaster from the viewpoint of radiation protection.

Workload programming is allocating suitable workloads of production process according to the needs of products, which would minimize the total cost of both work and stock under some constraint conditions. In this paper, a production process flow chart of discrete manufacturing is presented by a Petri net, and the optimization model of workload-stock is established. An approach of the optimal workloads is provided by means of the integer matrix theory. An example is given to verify this method.

Workpiece materials may be relatively easy to machine by traditional methods but workpiece geometry also may be a constraint. Many shapes that are geometrically difficult to handle conventionally may be candidates for nontraditional processes. Nontraditional processes provide new opportunities for product design innovation and productivity improvements. Difficult-to-machine materials of geometric shapes difficult o produce with traditional equipment and tooling, may often be easily and cost effectively machined using nontraditional processes. Notraditional machining processes are relative newcomers o the manufacturing arena. Nontraditional chemical solutions, or even electrolytic current as the working medium rather than a conventional cutting tool or abrasive to remove or shape materials.

Ko(1998) proposed a procedure to enhance the efficiency of double sampling plans by allowing second-stage sample size and critical region to depend on first-stage evidence using constraint optimization approaches. In this study further developments of such plans by incorporating several practically possible researcher's aims into the optimization are considered. Comparisons are made with the optimal ordinary double sampling plan and also among them It is observed that it is to some extent possible to match the details of the optimization to certain qualitative methodological aims.

The linearly constrained quadratic programming(QP) considered is : $$ min f(x) = c^T x + \frac{1}{2}x^T Hx $$ $$ (1) subject to A^T x \geq b,$$ where $c,x \in R^n, b \in R^m, H \in R^{n \times n)}$, symmetric, and $A \in R^{n \times n}$. If there are bounds on x, these are included in the matrix $A^T$. The Hessian matrix H may be positive definite or negative semi-difinite. For large problems H and the constraint matrix A are assumed to be sparse.

The theory of constraints (TOC) has become a valuable system in modern operations management. Using the ideas and methods of the TOC, companies can achieve a large reduction of work-in-process and finished-goods inventories, significant improvement in scheduling performance, and substantial earnings increase. The purpose of this paper is to calculate the optimal size of the time buffer which is used to accommodate disruptions in production processes and provide maximum productivity of capacity constrained resources. After the problem formulation in terms of single server queueing model, we observed the system behavior by sensitivity analyses.

Some Korean speakers have trouble in learning the correct pronunciation of many complex English words which have clusters in their onset and coda position. This study shows that the difficulties Korean students have acquiring English pronunciation partly come from syllable structure differences between English and Korean. We provide an analysis based on Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993) of the syllable structure difference and suggest that Korean speakers learn the different constraint ranking between English and Korean. This will offer Korean speakers with some helpful methods which will facilitate their learning.

Blind source separation (BSS) is a fundamental problem that is encountered in many practical applications. In most existing methods, stationary sources are considered higher-order statistics is necessary either explicitly or implicitly. But, many natural signals are nonstationary, and it is possible to perform BSS using only second-order statistics. Our method is based on only second order statistics. The algorithms are developed using the gradient descent method in orthogonality constraint and their performance is confirmed by numerical experiments.
