In this paper, we consider the two computer intensive methods for extended Euclidean algdrithm. Two methods we propose are C-programming based approach and Microsoft excel based method, respectively. Thses methods are applied to the derivation of greatest commnon devisor, multiplicative inverse for modular operation and the solution of diophantine equation. Concrete investigation for extended Euclidean algorithm with the computer intensive process is given. For the application of extended Euclidean algorithm, we consider the RSA encrytion method which is still popular recently.

In the early stage of weapon system acquisition process, acquisition policy is necessarily established to acquire weapon system in a faster, better, cheaper way. Several alternatives, such as "buy", "domestic research and development", and "technical corporative production", can be considered for the best acquisition policy making. However, the comparison factors for those alternatives have different metrics and values. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to suggest KAAM(Knowledge-based Alternatives Analysis Model) as a scientific method to compare the alternatives having such different metrics and values and giving a weighted and normalized single measurement for the easy comparison. KAAM is a hybrid model incorporating Satty technique, Delphi/Shang method, Consensus method, and SAW method. KAAM is implemented on Microsoft Excel environment and provided tabular form user interface. Finally, an illustrative example is shown using KAAM.

The purposes of this study were to examine the financial statements and analyze the financial soundness of contract foodservice management companies(CFMC) using the financial ratio. The statistical data analysis was completed using Microsoft Excel(ver.2007) for the trend line equation and using SPSS Win(ver.18.0) for wilcoxon-rank sum test. Increased asset, debt, capital and sales occurred in most of the CFMCs, but the financial trend of firm D decreased for operating profit and net profit. The financial ratio for investigating a firm's financial soundness was based on liquidity, stability, profitability, activity, and growth through financial statements. Most of the CFMCs had maintained outstanding financial soundness from 1999 to 2011. The financial statements during the decade were verified and fluctuated. The directly affected CFMCs by a school foodservice' sanitation accident had maintained better financial statements than those of other CFMCs. Therefore, there was opportunity for directly affecting CFMCs involved in school foodservice' sanitation accident to diversify the business portfolio of the firms.

Advanced forms of structural design (e.g., displacement-based methods) require knowledge of the non-linear force-displacement behavior of both the overall building and individual lateral load resisting elements, i.e., walls or building cores. Similarly, understanding the non-linear behaviour of the elements in a structure can also allow for a less conservative structural response to be calculated by better understanding the cracked (i.e., effective) properties of the various RC elements. Calculating the non-linear response of an RC section typically involves using 'black box' analysis packages, wherein the user may not be in complete control nor be aware of all the intricate settings and/or decisions behind the scenes. This paper introduces a user-friendly and transparent analysis program for predicting the back-bone force displacement behavior of slender (i.e., flexure controlled) RC walls, building cores or columns. The program has been validated and benchmarked theoretically against both commonly available and widely used analysis packages and experimentally against a database of 16 large-scale RC wall test specimens. The program, which is called WHAM, is written using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to promote transparency and allow users to further develop or modify to suit individual requirements. The program is available free-of-charge and is intended to be used as an educational tool for structural designers, researchers or students.

Purposes: Rapid aging and increase of high chronic diseases of the elderly are increasing the needs for expanding elderly care beyond the concept of treatment in medical institutions. This study is to discuss the core values, functions, and roles of municipal hospitals and suggest a suitable community care model. Methodology: The survey was collected twice derived from the domestic expert groups. This study analyzed experts' responses using Delphi method and Analytic Hierarchy Process, using Microsoft Excel 2016. Findings: Among the core values of the municipal hospitals, it was shown that community linkage had the highest priority. The publicity had the highest priority among the functions and roles of the municipal hospitals. In the community care models presented in this study, the model focused on 'Community Care Integration Center' showed highest relevance, suitability and applicability. Practical Implications: This study suggested three different community care models and derived the most suitable model for community care, which is focused on the municipal hospitals. It suggested effective application of the community care model to promote community care in each community.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the difference in the importance and performance of the educational content of the community pharmacy practice and find the factors that influence it. Methods: A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire asked about the importance and performance of the pharmacy practice education items to community pharmacy preceptors, current students, and professors. Data were analyzed using Microsoft office 365 Excel and IBM SPSS 21.0. Results: A total of 117 people participated. The averages of importance and performance were 4.34±0.34 and 3.71±0.45, respectively. Except for the computational entry of prescriptions and medication history, the average score for the importance of all educational items was statistically significantly higher than the one for performance. Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) identified over-the-counter medication counseling, over-the-counter drug selection consultation, pharmacy management, adverse drug reaction monitoring, and understanding and implementation of drug use evaluation as the items that needed focused effort. Borich's needs were highest in the adverse drug reaction monitoring. Conclusions: Overall, high importance and low performance indicate a need for improvement in community pharmacy practice education. Since the demand for education was high in over-the-counter medication counseling, adverse drug reaction monitoring, and OTC drug selection consultation, various supports are urgently needed to strengthen pharmacy practice education in this area in the future.

This paper presents a system called a Cash-flow based Construction Schedule Optimization system(CfSO). The existing CPM effectively handles schedule and cost management. However, funding strategy should be considered to obtain maximum profit and to progress a project favorably. One of measures is to coordinate the contract terms between owner and subcontractors (or suppliers). Contractor may decrease the interest cost attributed to project financing by adjusting the timing of cash-inflows and cash-outflows. It is an excellent method maximizing profits. This paper presents a method to estimate the amount of a cash-flow occurred periodically by integrating the terms of contract into scheduling. The proposed method is implemented as a system prototype in Microsoft Excel. This system provides a user an automated tool that identifies an optimal schedule that secures maximum profit by adjusting start and finish times of non-critical activities' free-floats without affecting on the project completion time. This system supports a project manager to establish an optimum project schedule and identifies profitable contractual conditions against to a construction owner.
