This study, an examination of the plan for effective resource management for national university hospitals, was performed to determine the relationship between the effectiveness of patient output by considering input personnel using the DEA model and Management Performance, in which 4 years of data from 12 national university hospitals were analyzed. Among the components of the effectiveness, utilizing properly imput components from the application of VRS(Variable Returns to Scale), the Management Performance of national university hospitals was found to be affirmatively influenced by PTE(Pure Technical Efficiency). Regarding the Management Performance of national university hospitals in their attempts to establish a plan for effective human resource management, the management of patient numbers on the basis of calculation level with input is more recommendable than the controlling of personnel input using patient numbers. Thus, the establishment of a strategy plan for the proper allocation of administrative staff and sickbeds, considering the variation of patient numbers, is suggested.

Gas explosion accidents could cause a catastrophe. we need specialized and systematic accident investigation techniques to shed light on the cause and prevent similar accidents. In this study, we had performed LNG explosion simulation using AUTODYN which is the commercial explosion program and predicted the damage characteristics of the structures by LNG explosive power. In the first step, we could get LNG's physical and chemical explosion properties by calculation using TNT equivalency method. And then, by applying TNT equivalency value about the explosion limit concentration of LNG on the 2D-AUTODYN simulation, we could get the explosion pressure wave profiles (explosion pressure, explosion velocity, etc.). In the last step, we performed LNG explosion simulation by applying to the explosion pressure wave profiles as the input data on the 3D-AUTODYN simulation. As a result, we had performed analyzing of the explosion characteristics of LNG in accordance with concentration through the 3D-AUTODYN simulation in terms of the explosion pressure behavior and structure's destruction and damage behavior.

본 논문에서는 LBT(Listen Before Talk) 방식을 사용하는 ZigBee와 FH(Frequency Hopping) 방식을 사용하는 DCP, RFID, Bluetooth 등의 소출력 무선기기가 공유주파수대역에 공존할 경우 요구되는 적정 채널수를 산출하고 전체 공유주파수대역폭 산출법을 제시하였다. 한정된 주파수 대역에서 LBT 및 FH 방식을 사용하는 총 User 수가 포용되는 공유주파수대역폭 산출은 중요한 작업이다. 소출력 무선기기 시스템의 간섭 회피 기술로 사용되는 FH 방식과 LBT 방식에 대기행렬이론(Queueing Theory)을 적용하였으며, 주위의 전파환경을 감지하여 유휴 주파수대역을 찾아 데이터전송을 시도하는 LBT 방식은 random하게 주파수채널을 이동하며 통신을 시도하는 FH 방식과는 구별된다. 채널수 별 User의 통신시도 시간간격을 통계적으로 처리하여 Throughput을 분석한 결과, Throughput 70% 조건에서 FH 방식과 LBT 방식을 사용하는 250mW 소출력 무선기기들이 공존하는 공유주파수대역의 적정 채널수는 30개를 가지며, 전체 공유주파수대역폭은 채널수에 채널당 대역폭의 곱으로 산출이 가능하다.

The most commonly used method to generate sonar transmitting beam is extracting digital samples out of memory, which are to excite transducers of the phased array respectively. As several types of signals have been used in sonar to enhance the performance of sonar in various environments, a large amount of memory is required to store them. In this paper, we adopt recursive algorithm to synthesize every different time-delayed signal for transmitting beams with small amount of memory and simple arithmetic operations. The error due to recursive calculation is also analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to develop a software for the performance evaluation and blade design of a pitch-controlled HAWT using BEMT(Blade Element Momentum Theory) with Prandtl's tip loss. The HERACLES V2.0 software consist of three major part ; basic blade design, aerodynamic coefficient mapping and performance calculation including stall or pitch control option. A 1MW wind turbine blade was designed at the rated wind speed(12m/s) composing five different airfoils such as FFA-W-301, DU91-W250, DU93-W-210, NACA 63418 and NACA 63415 from hub to tip. The mechanical power predicted by BEMT at the rated wind speed is about 1.27MW. Also, CFD analysis was performed to confirm the validity of the BEMT results. The comparison results show good agreement about the error of 6.5% in rated mechanical power.

In this paper, we propose a solution on interference problem of MB-OFDM UWB system using cognitive radio. We use interference temperature model of cognitive radio that has proposed by FCC for estimating interference signal. Calculating channel capacity of MB-OFDM UWB system with interference temperature, we suggest how to solve interference problem. We have used genetic algorithm in cognitive engine's calculation process. The proposed MB-OFDM UWB System with cognitive radio shows very efficient in solving interference problem.

Estimation of fatigue strength on the spot welded joint is very Important for strength design of spot welded steed sheet structures. In this paper, the effect of residual stress on the fatigue life of resistance spot weldment was studied. Residual stress fields of weldment were calculated by using thermo elastic plastic finite element analysis and equivalent fatigue stress considering residual stress effect was obtained. And then we predicted fatigue life, which included the effect of the residual stresses and the actual loading stresses. The calculation and experimental results were in good agreement. Therefore, the proposed calculated model can be considered to be sufficiently powerful for the prediction of fatigue life.

While the SIMPLE algorithm is most widely used for the simulations of flow phenomena that take place in the industrial equipments or the manufacturing processes, it is less adopted for the simulations of the free surface flow. Though the SIMPLE algorithm is free from the limitation of time step, the free surface behavior imposes the restriction on the time step. As a result, the explicit schemes are faster than the implicit scheme in terms of computation time when the same time step is applied to, since the implicit scheme includes the numerical method to solve the simultaneous equations in its procedure. If the computation time of SIMPLE algorithm can be reduced when it is applied to the unsteady free surface flow problems, the calculation can be carried out in the more stable way and, in the design process, the process variables can be controlled based on the more accurate data base. In this study, a modified SIMPLE algorithm is presented fur the free surface flow. The broken water column problem is adopted for the validation of the modified algorithm (MoSIMPLE) and for comparison to the conventional SIMPLE algorithm.

Our company produces boilers for industrial usages or power plants. The aim of this study is to investigate the flame structure, heat transfer to evaporator tube wall and NOx emission in the furnaces. Also we are to derive correct FEGT(Furnace Exit Gas Temperature) characteristic curve. When we design furnace and superheater, economizer etc. FEGT characteristic curve is very important factor for optimum design. We calculated turbulent reacting flow, heat transfer and NOx emission in furnace by using numerical modeling with the help of commercial code. Three dimensional steady state calculation is done. k-e turbulence model and equilibrium chemistry combustion model with $\beta-probability$ density function is used. To calculate radiation heat transfer discrete ordinates model is used. And we measured FEGT at several operating plants. Measurement is done by R-type thermocouple. Radiation shield is attached to the thermocouple to prevent radiation effect. Measured and calculated results show good agreement. And we could understand the flame structure and NOx formation positions in each furnaces.
