Plant growth and the two components of respiration, growth and maintenance, were compared between low and high nitrogen applications in hydroponic culture on a high-yielding rice cultivar 'Takanari' (Oryza sativa L.). Grain yield decreased by high nitrogen application, and thus this cultivar has low adaptability to nitrogen. Growth efficiency (GE) and net assimilation rate (NAR) were lower in the high-nitrogen plot. The maintenance coefficient (m) and growth coefficient (g) of dark respiration were 0.0111 $d^{-1}$ and 0.196 in the low-nitrogen plot and 0.0166 $d^{-1}$ and 0.237 in the high-nitrogen plot, respectively. Thus, high nitrogen application increased both g and m. Calculated $R_m$ (maintenance respiration rate) was 70 and 90% of total respiration rate at heading, respectively. The significance of nitrogen adaptability and g was discussed.

This research presents the method to decide proper locations for destressing of CWR using a non-destructive equipments to measure the longitudinal force(installation temperature) in CWR. The effect and necessity of destressing were analyzed by estimating changes of longitudinal force. The installation temperature was measured to find changes of longitudinal force in high speed and conventional lines before and after destressing or track maintenance at the locations where destressing was planed or where change of longitudinal force was expected during track maintenance. Past destressing was carried out within qualitative decision criteria. This research proposes the quantitative criteria to decide the priority order of the destressing locations reasonably by considering the difference of air temperature and stress free temperature during the track maintenances, the grade of ballast resistance force recovering and the length of destressing, etc.

Achieving a target operational availability is more economical and efficient than having many quantities of the weapon system, since the cost of weapon system becomes expensive. The intent of this study is twofold; first, we develop the simulation model to determine the optimal inventory level of the maintenance float while achieving a target operational availability of the Korean-made helicopter. The quantity decision model considers following factors such as a reliability. a turn around time(TAT). a protection level for inventory, and so on. Second, we analyze whether the existence of a lateral transshipment among bases and the reduction of TAT relate to an inventory level and the operational availability. The research result shows that both TAT and lateral transshipment have an effect on reducing the inventory level of the maintenance float and improving an operational availability.

The traffic volume on the road shows various trends reflecting regional characteristics for monthly and hourly, and economic loss affecting users varies according to the selected period for the maintenance of road pavements. Therefore, in this study, the user cost (or delay cost) for monthly and hourly on the work zone near the Maesang Bridge Section on Poseung-Gu, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do was calculated using the time series models and VISSIM, and based on the result, the effect of user cost reduction according to the selection of best maintenance period was examined. The analysis result showed that the month of the lowest user cost occurred due to the maintenance of target section was January (10,293,258 KRW/Day×1km) and the month of the greatest user cost occurred was November (13,337,495 KRW/Day×1km).

The objective of identifying the cause of inconsistency in determining priority of educational facility maintenance, any related factors were thoroughly identified and tested, to see if it has any effect on decision-making process in resource allocation for educational facilities. On the assumption that 'the more there are to be repaired/maintained and deferred, the higher the relevant cost will be, this will lead to a significant social loss. Accordingly, this study established a framework of determining resource allocation priority based on deferred maintenance and its related expenses. For doing so, it was required to determine relative ranking in terms of resource allocation within a pre-assigned school district, in consideration of the criticality of each deferred maintenance attribute/variable.

An underwater structure is made to put with serious damage state by special environmental factors. If this damage phenomena persist, as for the structure, it is generated a structural serious problem because of the corrosion of a reinforcing bar and the loss of the concrete cut end. Repair work of an underwater structure is very harder than repair work in land, and it is actual that certification about a maintenance effect is uncertain. And the existing repair method is applied to a structure damaged with you without verification of a repair effect by a foreign reward and experience. In this study, a repair method about an underwater structure was proposed and observed a behavior characteristic and interface failure of an specimens. and comparison analyzed an effect of a proposed maintenance method.

The labyrinth weir can be applied to increase the overflow rate, maintain constant water depth and improve water quality. This weir can be defined that the plane shape of overflow part is not straight line and is a kind of weir having overflow length increased by changing its plane shape. There are relatively few studies related to effect of maintaining the water depth which has been used to consider for various functions as hydraulic facilities and design conditions of labyrinth weirs. Thus, it is needed to conduct studies related to the maintenance of water depth by the labyrinth weir. This study was to provide fundamental data which may become a facilitator for more accurate and proper design of hydraulic facilities related to the maintenance of water depth. The ranges of constant water depth ($H_t/P=0.08\sim0.27$) were provided for the triangle type labyrinth weir, and the effect of maintaining water depth was analyzed using hydraulic laboratory experiments and 3D-numerical simulations(Flow-3D).

As it recently appears that LCC (Life Cycle Cost) analysis may be considered as an essential method for economic evaluation of infrastructures. Many researches have been made to assess LCC of each facility based on reasonable methods. However, expected maintenance repair cost must be reasonably estimated to enhance the reliability of LCC analysis through systematic and rational methods. This study is intended to propose a rational approach to reliability-based LCC analysis of high-speed railway steel bridges considering lifetime corrosion and fatigue damage. However in Korea, since high speed railway steel bridges are only recently constructed, no direct statistical data are available for the account of the maintenance cost and thus their maintenance characteristics are not clear yet. In this paper, for the assessment of expected maintenance/repair cost, the fatigue system reliability analysis incorporating the corrosion effect is proposed by considering the corrosion and fatigue damage using measured data of high speed railway steel bridges. A model proposed by Rahgozar, of at for fatigue notch factor considering the corrosion effect is used in order to incorporate the corrosion effect into the fatigue strength reduction and S-N curve. Finally, the effectiveness of LCC model proposed for high-speed railway steel bridges is demonstrated by a numerical example.

This paper proposes a strategic model of linkage between productivity metrics and financial accounting metrics to properly evaluate the financial effect of TPM activities and the business performance. This linkage strategy provides a connection tool for clear communication between factory-level and headquarters that the metrics proposed by this paper ultimately improves a quality of support from the management by receiving the factors required for productivity activities in the practical field. This factor includes such as equipment, raw materials and labors. Here, we propose that chain reaction models using break down structure of productivity metrics and financial metrics enhance the knowledge sharing of KPI (Key Performance Indicator) which generally tend to create oversimplified communication between management in headquarters and employees in the practical fields. The productivity metrics include OEE(Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), OLE (Overall Labor Effectiveness) of PAC(Performance and Analysis and Control) activities, and OYE (Overall Yield Effectiveness) of TMM(Total Material Management) activities. The financial accounting metrics include ROE(Return on Equity), ROA(Return on Asset), and AVR(Added-Value Rate). The suggested chain reaction model selects the financial metrics as initial stage and branch down until final stage of productivity metrics. When demand exceeds supply, an ideal speed rate, the lean OEE strategy can be initially applied to reduce the gap between the demand and supply, then apply variable costing to estimate correct amount of operating profit. In addition, the paper presents a new type of model for linkage between financial accounting metrics including CAPEX(Capital Expenditure), OPEX(Operating Expenditure), EVA(Economic Added Value), DCL(Degree of Combined Leverage), and TPM productivity activities including AM(Autonomous Maintenance), PM(Preventive Maintenance), MP(Maintenance Prevention) and QM(Quality Maintenance). In order to support the evidence of proposed linkage strategy, a case analysis on 52 projects from national TPM contest from 2011 to 2012 is analyzed. The case presents the classification of CAPEX and OPEX activities from TPM, and proposes the correct implementation of financial effect for TPM projects.
