This paper focuses on scheduling problems arising in the military. In planned artillery attack operations, a large number of threatening enemy targets should be destroyed to minimize fatal loss to the friendly forces. We consider a situation in which the number of available weapons is smaller than the number of targets. Therefore it is required to develop a new sequencing algorithm for the unplanned artillery attack operation. The objective is to minimize the total loss to the friendly forces from the targets, which is expressed as a function of the fire power potential, after artillery attack operations are finished. We develop an algorithm considering the fire power potential and the time required to destroy the targets. The algorithms suggested in this paper can be used in real artillery attack operations if they are modified slightly to cope with the practical situations.

Railroad transportation system has experienced major changes due to KTX introduction. Kyungbu corridor especially Seoul to Cheonan has line capacity problem and its solution has been a primary concern to researchers and policy decision makers. This study explored pattern of train operation between Seoul and Cheonan after the introduction of KTX in 2004. Both the number of trains and available seat capacity per day have increased but maximum number of trains per specific hour has not been changed much. Demand for train shows that if concentrated in a specific time, so number of trains during the peak hour should be increased. But, it is difficult ? 새 line capacity, so increasing seat capacity per train might be an option. An increase in an avaliable sear should be considered the characteristics of each train lines.

This study was performed to evaluate the new surgical technique for debarking. Of the 8 mongrel dogs which underwent devocalization, 4 heads (group 1) received complete surgical removal of the vocal cords and another 4 heads (group 2) received fixation of vocal cords and vocal processes onto the thyroid cartilage. Volume of each dogs' voices was measured by a sound level meter(Function A) over 7 months at intervals of 10 days. All experimental animals'hematological values were measured before operation and postoperative at 2i 5 and 10 days. The changes of volume of dogs'voices and hematological values were analyzed by paired t-test. The volume in the dogs'voices in each group after operation was significantly lower than that before operation. At this results we detected that devocalizing effect was the same in each group. Postoperative volume of dogs'voices in group 1 had a tendency to increaser but group 2 had a tendency to decrease. The number of erythrocytes at 2 days after operation was significantly fewer than those before operation in group 1, but the group 2 did not have significant changes. The number of leukocytes at 2 days after operation significantly increased from those before operation in group 11 but the group 2 did not have significant changes. It was concluded that the new surgical technique, fixation of vocal cords and vocal processes onto the thyroid cartilages could be available for the devocalization of dogs and for the prevention of postoperative inflammation and blood loss.

This paper assessed the impacts of the specification of the yard, handling equipment, and operation approaches on the expected number of re-handles during the loading operation for empty containers. When the various types of empty containers from multiple shipping liners are placed in separate spaces from each other, then the storage space cannot be fully utilized. So as to increase the utilization of the storage space, empty containers from multiple vessel liners are stored together incurring additional re-handles during the loading operation. Several formulas are derived for the estimation of the expected number of handles, including re-handles, for empty container retrieval from a bay. Transfer cranes and top handlers are utilized as handling equipment and various retrieval strategies are examined. Numerical analysis was conducted to assess the effects of various designs and operational parameters of the container stacking yard on the expected number of handles.

This study focuses primarily on the construction of the wartime sealift operation model from US to Korea. There are some uncertainties in the process of sealift operation such as the procurement rate of materiel in US, the distribution of KFS on four initial position locations at the start of the activation, and the number of ports and berths in the SPOES and SPODS. The sealift capability, based on the allocation of sealift assets such as the number of vessels, berths, and ports, is evaluated through simulation. The simulation is executed with a baseline wartime scenario and then the results are analyzed through a sensitivity analysis. The military planner may use of this model as a standard for establishing effective and concrete sealift operation plan in the near future.

This paper addresses the processing route of parts and economic design in flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs) employing AGVs for Transport. Parts are processed through several workstations according to operation sequences. The machine of each workstation can do multiple operation functions. The operation stage of a part can be processed in several workstations, which are non-identical in functional performance. The objective of this paper is to determine the processing route of parts, number of machines at each workstation, number of vehicles. The model is assumed that the operation stage of parts can be processed at the only one among several available workstations. Parts are transported by automated guided vehicle system(AGVS). The decision criteria is to minimize the sum of processing cost, travel cost, operating cost. A model formulation is represented. A solution algorithm is suggested by using mathematical programming and simulation technique, and a numerical example is shown.

Although sustainable development of a city should in theory be based on updated spatial information like land cover/use changes, in practice there are no effective tools to get such information. However the development of satellite and sensor technologies has increased the supply of high resolution satellite data, allowing cost-effective, multi-temporal monitoring. Especially KOMPSAT-1(KOrea Multi-Purpose SATellite) acquired a large number of images of the whole Korean peninsula and covering some large cities a number of times. In this study land-use patterns and trends of Daejeon from the year 2000 to the year 2003 will be considered using land use maps which are generated by manual interpretation of multi-temporal KOMPSAT EOC imagery and to show the possibility of using high resolution satellite remote sensing data for urban analysis.

An inappropriate space zoning plan causes the unnecessary transportation of construction material and equipment among work areas and increases the disorder of work space. Space zoning is an essential operation management technique which contributes to reduce the process and/or operation idle-time. This paper introduces a method that computes the idle-times between construction operations (or processes) by using Web-CYCLONE. It allows computing with idle-times that affect the construction productivity. Using the idle time between operations and between processes, it computes the optimal number of zones and finds the optimal combination of zones that minimize the idle times. The method contributes to minimize the idle times relative to the operation schedule using complete enumeration. This paper presents the system prototype in detail. A case study is presented to demonstrate the system and verifies the validity of the model. It allows a project manager to establish space zoning plan that effectively segregates a project into optimal number of construction zones and to assign the constrained resources (e.g., laborer, equipment).

Many previous researchers tried to analysis relationship between financial index of hospitals such as revenue, expenses, and profit and hospital outcome such as number of inpatient and outpatient or, between that financial index and hospital size including number of hospital beds. However, these studies did not find exact relationship between financial index and hospital efficiency and productivity. Therefore, purpose of the study explores exact relationship between hospital financial outcome and hospital efficiency and productivity using adjusted inpatient days concept from American Hospital Association. Through the empirical analysis, the researchers find that hospital profit has the U-shape quadratic function to operation ratio. 66.9% of operation ratio is changing point and hospitals with 55.8% through 75.0% of operation ration have experience deficit situation. Considering the hospital circumstance, Korean hospitals would be to maintain general hospital type with various specialty departments.
