In the devices structure of ITO/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N' bis (3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) /tris (8-hydroxyquinoline)aluminum$(Alq_3)$electron-transport-layer(ETL)(2,9-Dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(BCP))/Al, we have studied the efficiency improvement of organic light-emitting diodes depending on the thickness variation of BCP using electron transport layer. The thickness of TPD and $Alq_3$ was manufactured 40 nm, 60 nm under a base pressure of $5{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr using at thermal evaporation, respectively. The TPD and $Alq_3$ layer were evaporated to be deposition rate of $2.5{\AA}/s$. And the BCP was evaporated to be a4 a deposition of $1.0{\AA}/s$. As the experimental results, we found that the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency of the device is superior to others when thickness of BCP is 5 nm. Also, operating voltage is lowest. Compared to the ones from the devices without BCP layer, the luminous efficiency and the external quantum efficiency were improved by a factor of four hundred ninty and five hundred, respectively. And operating voltage is reduced to about 2 V.

This study was performed to examine the manpower structure of foodservice operations, evaluate the management efficiency of each operation, and propose efficiency improvement guidelines for inefficient operations. For this purpose, a total of 224 B&I foodservice operations managed by an 'A' contract-managed foodservice company were chosen as the study sample. The efficiency scores were obtained through Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA) using the CCR model. The efficiency scores ranged from 63.56 to 100 and the average score was 82.47. The average efficiency score of Group 'C'(factory, more than 1,000 meals per day) was the highest among 6 groups. The results of further operations analysis in group 'C' showed that the labor cost percentage was significantly lower(p<0.001) and sales per man-hour significantly higher(p<0.001) in efficient operations compared to inefficient operations within group 'C'. Finally, efficiency improvement guidelines were suggested for the most inefficient operations in group 'C'.

Based on data from the Korean Academy for Dental Administration, which has been conducting the Dental Quality Improvement (QI) Contest since 2010, we aimed to provide basic data for the development of dental quality improvement indicators by analyzing the trends of dental quality improvement activities. A total of 54 articles in the dental QI contest from 2015 to 2021 were used to search for frequently used words and to classify the quality of dental care. The criteria for the quality dimension of dental care were first classified into structure, process, and outcome, and secondary classification was performed into patient safety, timeliness, patient-centeredness, equity, efficiency, effectiveness, and accessibility. The frequently used key terms were satisfaction (five times), efficiency (four times), system (three times), and implant (three times). The activities for process evaluation were high at 62.26%, structural evaluation activities at 35.85%, and outcome evaluation activities at 1.89%. According to the components of dental care quality improvement, the activity performed under efficiency was the highest (33.96%), followed by patient-centeredness (18.87%), effectiveness (16.98%), patient safety (15.09%), accessibility (5.66%), timeliness (1.89%), and the equity (1.89%). QI activities in dental hospitals were mainly activities on improvement in structure and process, as well as activities on efficiency, patient-centeredness, effectiveness, and patient safety.

The paper presents an accurate loss model based controller of an induction motor to calculate the optimal air gap flux. The model includes copper losses, iron losses, harmonic losses, friction and windage losses, and stray losses. These losses are represented as a function of the air gap flux. By using the calculated optimal air gap flux compared with rated flux for speed sensorless indirect vector controlled induction motor, an improvement in motor efficiency is achieved. The motor speed performance is improved using a fuzzy logic speed controller instead of a PI controller. The fuzzy logic speed controller was simulated using the fuzzy control interface block of MATLAB/SIMULINK program. The control algorithm is experimentally tested within a PC under RTAI-Linux. The simulation and experimental results show the improvement in motor efficiency and speed performance.

This paper reposes a novel tracking algerian for efficiency improvement of photovoltaic(PV) system using sensor method PV system of sensor method is exactly impossible to track a sun position when insolation is low or rapidly changed by the clouds and fogs. Also, in this case, tracking device is occurred energy consumption by unnecessary operating. This statement of reason, real power of PV system is not increased than fixed PV system in specified location. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel ticking algorithm considered insolation for efficiency improvement of PV system using sensor method And this paper analyzes the generation volume and proves the validity of proposed algorithm as compared with the conventional PV tracking system using sensor method.

It was reported by some researchers that two-stage parallel-plate ESPs, commonly called electronic air cleaners, show decreasing behavior of collection efficiency as particle size decreases below about $0.03{\mu}m$. This phenomenon is attributed to partial particle charging characteristics, where some of incoming particles are not charged in the charging cell of 2-stage parallel-plate ESP. One way to improve the decreasing collection efficieny in that particle size range is to enforce particle charging quantity in the charging cell. In the present study, in order to do this a 2-wire series-type charging cell modified from a 1-wire normal-type one was suggested and investigated theoretically and experimentally concerning improvement of the collection efficiency. It was confirmed from the experimental and theoretical works that the collection efficiency was apparently improved.

This paper deals with the optimum rotor design approach about the multi-layer design of the buried magnets in an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM), on the efficiency improvement by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). In the multi-layer design of the prototype 15kw IPMSM, the constant amount of buried PM is split from the single-layer into double-layer design for improving the efficiency characteristics. The optimum double-layer rotor structure is built with the help of RSM analysis. The improvement of IPMSM efficiency is verified by the Finite Element Method (FEM) results comparison with the prototype single-layer IPMSM.
