Real time transient stability assessment mainly depends on real-time prediction. Unfortunately, conventional techniques based on offline analysis are too slow and unreliable in complex power systems. Hence, fast and reliable stability prediction methods and simple stability criterions must be developed for real time purposes. In this paper, two new methods for real time determining critical clearing time based on clustering identification are proposed. This article is covering three main sections: (i) clustering generators and recognizing critical group; (ii) replacing the multi-machine system by a two-machine dynamic equivalent and eventually, to a one-machine-infinite-bus system; (iii) presenting a new method to predict post-fault trajectory and two simple algorithms for calculating critical clearing time, respectively established upon two different transient stability criterions. The performance is expected to figure out critical clearing time within 100ms-150ms and with an acceptable accuracy.

The influence of slow cooling and annealing time in $O_2$in MPEG process on $J_c$ was investigated. From the measurement of $J_c$,SEM and XRD, it was observed that the critical current density was related with the slow cooling time and annealing time in $O_2$. The value of $J_c$ was the highest at slow cooling time of 40 hour. And also, the value of $J_c$ along the annealing time in $O_2$in the case of the slow cooling time of 40 hours was inclined to increase with annealing time. Consequently, it can be suggested that proper slow cooling time and annealing time after slow cooling in MPMG process be important to improve the critical characteristics.

The current health care system demands provisions for patient care in perspectives of a cost-effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Critical pathway implementation facilitates optimal sequencing and intervention timing of patient care, and makes medical team and patients participate in a treatment actively. In this study, a critical pathway was developed and implemented to patients with osmidrosis who undertake operation. Sixty patients were included in the study. The critical pathway was implemented for care of 26 patients while the traditional care was implemented for 34 patients. In the critical pathway implemented group, time needed for charting and unessential working was reduced. Mean time amount of time for patient nursing was increased. The critical pathway implementation is an effective method to utilize time of medical team. Also it increases the satisfaction index of patients and medical team simultaneously.

This paper presents a novel method for real-time malfunction detection of plasma etching process using EPD signal traces. First, many reference EPD signal traces are collected using monochromator and data acquisition system in normal etching processes. Critical points are defined by applying differentiation and zero-crossing method to the collected reference signal traces. Critical parameters such as intensity, slope, time, peak, overshoot, etc., determined by critical points, and frame attributes transformed signal-to symbol of reference signal traces are saved. Also, UCL(Upper Control Limit) and LCL(Lower Control Limit) are obtained by mean and standard deviation of critical parameters. Then, test EPD signal traces are collected in the actual processes, and frame attributes and critical parameters are obtained using the above mentioned method. Process malfunctions are detected in real-time by applying SPC(Statistical Process Control) method to critical parameters. the Real-time malfunction detection method presented in this paper was applied to actual processes and the results indicated that it was proved to be able to supplement disadvantages of existing quality control check inspecting or testing random-selected devices and detect process malfunctions correctly in real-time.

The subject of this investigation is to study the buckling of cross-ply laminated orthotropic cylindrical thin shells with variable elasticity moduli and densities in the thickness direction, under external pressure, which is a power function of time. The dynamic stability and compatibility equations are obtained first. These equations are subsequently reduced to a system of time dependent differential equations with variable coefficients by using Galerkin's method. Finally, the critical dynamic and static loads, the corresponding wave numbers, the dynamic factors, critical time and critical impulse are found analytically by applying a modified form of the Ritz type variational method. The dynamic behavior of cross-ply laminated cylindrical shells is investigated with: a) lamina that present variations in the elasticity moduli and densities, b) different numbers and ordering of layers, and c) external pressures which vary with different powers of time. It is concluded that all these factors contribute to appreciable effects on the critical parameters of the problem in question.

본 연구는 고속도로 합류부의 교통 특성 분석을 목적으로 한다. 합류부가 기본구간과 구별되는 가장 큰 특징은 연결로 차량의 본선합류이며, 이로 인해 합류부의 교통 특성은 기본구간과 크게 대별된다. 이러한 합류부의 교통 특성을 파악하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 합류 시 요구되는 임계차두간격과 이로 인해 결정되는 최대 진입가능 교통량이라는 두 요소에 초점을 맞추었다. 본 연구에서는 확률 모형을 통해 합류 용량 산정 시 임계차간간격(Critical time gap)대신 임계차두간격(Critical time headway)이 적용될 수 있도록 모형을 구축하였다. 기존 연구에서는 합류 용량 산정시 합류하고자 하는 진입 차량은 본선을 주행하는 차량들 사이의 차간간격이 임계차간간격 이상이면 모두 진입하는 것으로 간주되어왔다. 또한 임계차간간격은 교통류 상태와는 관계없이 항상 동일한 값으로 적용되었다. 그러나, 합류 과정에서 필요한 차간간격은 동일한 운전자에 대해서도 다른 교통류 상태 예를 들어, 교통류의 상대속도 차이 등에 따라 다르게 나타날 수 있으므로 정해진 임계차간간격이 합류 과정 시불충분한 값으로 인식될 수도 있게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는, 먼저 모든 교통류 상태에 대한 임계차두간격 산출 원리를 제시하였다. 또한 도출된 임계차두간격을 통해 최대 진입가능 교통량 및 합류부의 최대 통과 교통량을 산출하였다.

The influence of slow cooling and annealing time in $O_2$ during melting and growth step in MPMG process on J$_{c}$ was investigated. Through the measurement of J$_{c}$ SEM and XRD, it can be observed that the critical characteristics were related with the slow cooling time and annealing time in 02 for melting and growth step of MPMG process. The distribution of critical current density with slow cooling time was the porabolic form and the value of J. was the highest at the 40 hour slow cooling time. And also, the value of J$_{c}$, along the annealing time in $O_2$ in the case of the slow cooling time 40 hour was inclined to increase with annealing time. Consequently, it can be suggested that proper slow cooling titre and annealing time along slow cooling in MPMG process be important to improve the critical characteristics.stics.

In this research, the dynamic stability of an orthotropic elastic conical shell, with elasticity moduli and density varying in the thickness direction, subject to a uniform external pressure which is a power function of time, has been studied. After giving the fundamental relations, the dynamic stability and compatibility equations of a nonhomogeneous elastic orthotropic conical shell, subject to a uniform external pressure, have been derived. Applying Galerkin's method, these equations have been transformed to a pair of time dependent differential equations with variable coefficients. These differential equations are solved using the method given by Sachenkov and Baktieva (1978). Thus, general formulas have been obtained for the dynamic and static critical external pressures and the pertinent wave numbers, critical time, critical pressure impulse and dynamic factor. Finally, carrying out some computations, the effects of the nonhomogeneity, the loading speed, the variation of the semi-vertex angle and the power of time in the external pressure expression on the critical parameters have been studied.

CCPM(Critical Chain Project Management)은 기존의 사업관리 방법론인 PERT/CPM의 장점을 살리고 단점을 보완한 것으로서 각 과업의 예상 작업시간을 여유시간(padding)을 제거한 평균작업시간을 사용하고 핵심자원(Bottleneck)의 자원경합을 해소한 후 크리티컬 체인을 결정하고 일정계획을 수립하되, 각 과업의 여유시간의 일정 부분을 크리티컬 체인의 뒤에 공통의 프로젝트 버퍼(buffer)로 두어 일정관리 상의 변동을 흡수할 수 있도록 고안되었다. 또한 크리티컬체인에 포함되지 않은 비크리티컬 체인에 속한 과업들이 전체 일정의 지연을 초래하는 것을 방지하기 위해 공급버퍼를 두어 변동을 흡수할 수 있도록 하였으며, 자원의 조달 상의 불확실성을 완화하기 위해 자원 버퍼를 두고 있다. 프로젝트 버퍼 빛 공급 버퍼 관리를 통해 일상적인 일반변동 요인(common cause variation)에 일정 지연 흡수뿐 아니라 특별변동 요인(special cause variation)에 의한 위험의 관리 및 완화가 가능하도록 되어 있다. 프로젝트 버퍼 및 공급버퍼의 크기는 일반적으로 해당 체인의 전체 길이 1/2을 사용한다. 버퍼관리가 프로젝트 실행 및 통제 매커니즘으로 활용된다. 버퍼관리에서는 버퍼길이를 OK 영역, 주시 및 계획 영역 그리고 행동영역으로 나누고, 프로젝트 상태가 주시 및 계획 영역에 진힙하게 되면 위험상태에 대비해서 비상조치계획을 수립하며, 행동역역에 들어가게 되면 계획된 비상조치계획을 실행함으로써 일정지연을 만화하게 된다. CCPM에서는 작업자들은 자신의 작업을 최선을 다해 열심히 일하고 과업 종료시 즉시 프로젝트 책임자에게 보곰함으로써 후속 과업이 조기에 작업을 개시할 수 있는 릴레이경주 방식의 작업 메커니즘을 따르도록 요청받게 된다. 또한 일정 지연의 가장 큰 주범인 멀티태스킹 작업은 철저하게 금지되도록 관리한다.

High-tech facilities engaged in the production of semiconductors and optical microscopes are extremely expensive, which may require time-domain analysis for seismic resistant design in consideration of the most critical directions of seismic ground motions. This paper presents a framework for generating three-dimensional critical seismic ground acceleration time histories compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes. The most critical directions of seismic ground motions associated with the maximum response of a high-tech facility are first identified. A new numerical method is then proposed to derive the power spectrum density functions of ground accelerations which are compatible with the response spectra specified in seismic design codes in critical directions. The ground acceleration time histories for the high-tech facility along the structural axes are generated by applying the spectral representation method to the power spectrum density function matrix and then multiplied by envelope functions to consider nonstationarity of ground motions. The proposed framework is finally applied to a typical three-story high-tech facility, and the numerical results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.
