  • This study sets the research goal of reducing energy consumption which 'H' University Industry-University Cooperation Foundation and resident companies are concerned with, as well as conducting policy research and data analysis. We tried to present a solution to the problem using the technique. The algorithm showing the greatest reliability in the power of the model for the analysis algorithm of this paper was selected, and the power consumption trend curves per minute and hour were confirmed through predictive analysis while applying the algorithm, as well as confirming the singularity of excessive energy consumption. Through an additional sub-sensor analysis, the singularity of energy consumption of the unit was identified more precisely in the facility rather than in the building unit. Through this, this paper presents a system building model for real-time monitoring of campus power usage, and expands the data center and model for implementation. Furthermore, by presenting the possibility of expanding the field through research on the integration of mobile applications and IoT hardware, this study will provide school authorities and resident companies with specific solutions necessary to continuously solve data-based field problems.

  • The k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is defined as k-out-of-n system which both includes warm-standby and cold-standby components. In case that operating components in the system fail and the system needs quick transition of standby components to operation state, the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy is useful for decreasing system failure rate and operational cost. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem (RROP) involves selection of components with multiple choices and redundancy levels for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. A solution methodology by using harmony search algorithm for RROP of the k-out-of-n system with mixed redundancy to maximize system reliability was suggested in this study.

  • Human needs energy to maintain metabolisms, and these energy sources were uptake foods or nutritions. The most effective source was known for glucose among the nutrients, furthermore the glucose is an important source of energy for blood cells and control brain maintenences cells. But as food is plentiful and eating habits become more westernized, fast food and irregular meal times by works. Nowadays, diabetes were rapidly increased by malnutriton and obesity. Diabetes was the sixth highest on the list of causes of death in Korea, released by the Statistics Korea in 2015, which is considered a serious social problem for adult diseases. Therefore, this study aims to establish the optimal hot water extraction conditions of mixed herbs extract mixture compounds that are effective in diabetes. The independent factors were extraction temperature (X1: $40-120^{\circ}C$), extraction time (X2: 2-10 hrs.), and the ratio of water to sample (X3: 40-200 mg/mL). Their effects were assessed on dependent variables of the extract properties, which included soluble solid contents, Brix of sample extract, total polyphenols content, total flavonoids content and DPPH Radical scavenging activity. As a result, the content of total polyphenol content was the highest in No.12(6 hrs, $120^{\circ}C$, 67 mg/mL) and the highest total flavonoid contents was found in No.16(6 hrs, $80^{\circ}C$, 40 mg/mL). DPPH Radical scavenging activity showed the highest activity in No.7(8 hrs, $100^{\circ}C$, 100 mg/mL).

  • Purpose - The study aims to show the successful application of Six Sigma in software companies for process improvement. Research design, data and methodology - A mixed methodology has been used which include both qualitative and quantitative research. In the qualitative research methodology part, a detailed and comprehensive literature study have been carried out. The literature study consists of articles, books, web materials, discussion forms and others. In the quantitative research methodology part, interviews have been conducted. Results - Six sigma is the practical application of a theoretical statistical measurement that equates to 3.4 defects per million opportunities -a position of practically zero defects for any process or service. Initially originating in Motorola Inc. in 1985 as a response to drastic quality improvement pressures from the threat of Japanese competition, it quickly gained many followers particularly G.E., Allied Signal, Ford Motor Company etc. and more recently attentions have shifted to service environments. There are still some problems and misconceptions existed about the applicability of Six Sigma in software companies. Conclusions - The paper concludes that Six Sigma can bring large benefits for software companies too. Furthermore, software companies have already started to implement Six Sigma approach, like Ericsson, Tata Consultancy Service, etc.

  • The objective of this research was to create a new probiotic candy with good flavor and healthy benefits by using the response surface method and a sequential quadratic programming technique. The endpoint was to increase the varieties of dairy products and enhance their market values. In this study, milk was mixed with yogurt cultures (Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus) and probiotics (L. paracasei, Bifidobacterium longum) and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 20 h. The samples were blended with lyoprotectants (galactose, skim milk powder and sucrose), freeze dried and then mixed with sweeteners (lactose and xylitol) to improve the texture for forming tablets. The processing conditions were optimized in two steps: the first step constructed a surface model using response surface methodology; the second step optimized the model with a sequential quadratic programming procedure. Results indicated that skim milk inoculated with L. delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus, S. thermophilus, L. paracasei subsp. paracasei and B. longum and blended with 6.9% of galactose, 7.0% of sucrose and 8.0% of skim milk powder would produce a new probiotic candy with the highest viability of probiotics and good flavor. A relatively higher survival of probiotics can be achieved by placing the probiotic candy product in a glass bottle with deoxidant and desiccant at $4^{\circ}C$. These probiotic counts remained at 106-108 CFU/g after being stored for two months.

  • This paper presents a new method that can efficiently solve the integrated problem of line balancing and model sequencing in mixed-model U-lines (MMULs). Balancing and sequencing problem are important for an efficient use of MMULs and are tightly related with each other. However, in almost all the existing researches on mixed­model production lines, the two problems have been considered separately. In 1his research, an endosymbiotic evolutionary algorithm, which is a kind of evolutionary algorithm, is adopted as a methodology in order to solve the two problems simultaneously. Some evolutionary search capability, rapidity of convergence and population diversity. The proposed algorithm is compared with the existing evolutionary algorithm in terms of solution quality. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of our approach.

  • The use of acupuncutre has been increased worldwide, and large number of researches on acupuncture with improved quality has been conducted. Nevertheless, results of acupuncture treatment in those research tend to show mixed results, while many patients continuously seek acupuncture treatment as an adjuvant or alternatives for their health. Researchers and clinicians relevant to acupuncture are faced at this problematic discrepancy between the results of acupuncture in clinical trial including an randomized controlled trial and those of day-to-day clinical practice. The methodology of pragmatic clinical trial seems to be one of the promising research tools administering this problem especially in the area of complementary alternative medicine and traditional Korean medicine. In this study we first reviewed articles on the pragmatic clinical trial, summarized the essential concepts of 'explanatory' clinical trial 'pragmatic' clinical trial and then presented recent recommendations and arguments on this issue. We also analyzed and compared two similar pragmatic clinical trial protocols to show the readers the complexity of research designing. We hope more researchers in traditional Korean medicine will be interested in the methodology of pragmatic clinical trials and this study will serve to produce various high-quality clinical trials.

  • The distribution of observations in most econometric studies with spatial heterogeneity is skewed. Usually, a single transformation of the data is used to approximate normality and to model the transformed data with a normal assumption. This assumption is however not always appropriate due to the fact that panel data often exhibit non-normal characteristics. In this work, the normality assumption is relaxed in spatial mixed models, allowing for spatial heterogeneity. An inference procedure based on Bayesian mixed modeling is carried out with a multivariate skew-elliptical distribution, which includes the skew-t, skew-normal, student-t, and normal distributions as special cases. The methodology is illustrated through a simulation study and according to the empirical literature, we fit our models to non-life insurance consumption observed between 1998 and 2002 across a spatial panel of 103 Italian provinces in order to determine its determinants. Analyzing the posterior distribution of some parameters and comparing various model comparison criteria indicate the proposed model to be superior to conventional ones.

  • Quality function deployment (QFD) is a widely adopted customer-oriented product development methodology by analyzing customer requirements. It is a main activity in QFD planning process to determine the optimal values of the technical attributes (TAs) so as to achieve the customer requirements (CRs) from the House of Quality (HoQ). In most of the previous research, all the TAs in QFD are assumed to have either continuous or discrete values. In the real world applications, the continuous TAs and the discrete TAs are often mixed in QFD. In this paper, a mixed integer linear programming model is formulated to obtain the optimal values for the continuous TAs and the discrete TAs in QFD planning as well as Branch and Bound (B and B) algorithm is proposed as the solution approach. Finally, the proposed model and solution approach are illustrated with an office chair under multi-segment market, and the sensitivity analysis is performed to study how the proposed model and its solutions respond to the variation for the two elements which are budget and CRs' weights.
