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).

During the years 1959 to 1974, 99 patients with patent ductus arteriosus were admitted to National University Hospital. These includes 5 patients with additional cardiovascular and 5 patients with severe pulmonary hypertension. All were operated upon except three refused operation. In all instances, the diagnosis was made by history and physical, roentgenological and electrographic examinations. In addition, in 53 patients, special diagnostic procedures were carried out either for diagnosis or for evaluation of pulmonary hypertension and associated cardiovascular anomalies. Right cardiac catheterization was resorted to in 51 patients. In one of these patients catheterization was incorrectly interpreted [ventricular septal defect]. Retrograde aortogram was performed in two patients. In both cases the ductus itself was visualized on the x-ray film. An additional vascular anomaly, namely the persistent left superior vena cava, was confirmed by retrograde angiogram in one of them. In 5 cases the pulmonary arterial pressure was elevated well over 80 mmHg. In these instances,the operative mortality was 80% [4 out of 5 patients]. The management of patent ductus arteriosus when associated with severe pulmonary hypertension. and/or other cardiac anomalies is controversial. Opinions differ as to how to close the ductus and to repair the cardiac anomalies as well as to whether a one-staged or two-staged procedure should be resorted to. The author is of the that each case must be evaluated individually before any specific surgical treatment is ou.tlined. The literature on the subject is reviewed in this paper.

Human error (HE) is an important concern in safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants (NPPs). HE has played a role in many accidents and outage incidents in NPPs. Despite the increased automation in NPPs, HE remains unavoidable. Hence, the need for HE detection is as important as HE prevention efforts. In NPPs, HE is rather rare. Hence, anomaly detection, a widely used machine learning technique for detecting rare anomalous instances, can be repurposed to detect potential HE. In this study, we develop an unsupervised anomaly detection technique based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to detect anomalies in manually collected surveillance data in NPPs. More specifically, our GAN is trained to detect mismatches between automatically recorded sensor data and manually collected surveillance data, and hence, identify anomalous instances that can be attributed to HE. We test our GAN on both a real-world dataset and an external dataset obtained from a testbed, and we benchmark our results against state-of-the-art unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms, including one-class support vector machine and isolation forest. Our results show that the proposed GAN provides improved anomaly detection performance. Our study is promising for the future development of artificial intelligence based HE detection systems.

This paper considers a facility location problem, which is concerned with locating facilities on a supply chain network and installing the associated equipments at the facilities to meet a given set of demands. The objective function is to minimize the sum of setup cost (facility opening cost and equipment installation cost), operation cost, and distribution cost. For the equipments, various choices of equipment modes need to be determined. Moreover, in the problem, overwork is allowed each facility but at expensive operation cost. The proposed problem is characterized as being NP-hard problem, so that a heuristic algorithm is derived. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, computational experiments with various numerical instances are conducted.

The peak klystron power for the PAL (Pohang Accelerator Laboratory) XFEL (X-ray Free Electron Laser) is up to 80 MW which is higher than that of PLS-II LINAC. To prevent the RF breakdown such a high power operation, some of RF components need to be redesigned to reduce the surface electric field gradient to be less than the breakdown gradient at the vacuum-metal surface. For instances, the redesign of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Energy Doubler (SLED) system, the directional coupler and 3dB power splitter using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation will be presented.

노선 계획이란 수요를 만족시키면서 열차 운행 비용(operation cost)을 최소화하는 시종착별 열차 운행횟수를 결정하는 과정을 말한다. 그러나 화물 수송의 경우 화물 취급역에서 발생하는 화물의 연결 혹은 해방 작업은 상당한 시간을 필요로 하여, 잦은 중간 화물역에서의 연결 해방 작업은 수송 서비스의 품질을 저하시킬 수 있으므로, 여객 열차의 노선 계획과 달리, 화물 열차 노선 계획에서는 각 열차의 도중 입환역을 어떻게 설정할 것인가가 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구는 열차의 운행 경로, 운행 횟수뿐만 아니라 열차별 도중 입환역를 포함하는 노선계획을 작성하기 위한 최적화 모형을 제시하고, 이 모형에 대한 열생성 기반 해법 및 실험결과를 제시할 것이다.

For companies assembling end products from sub assemblies or components, MRP (Material Requirement Planning) logic is frequently used to synchronize and pace the production activities for the required parts. However, in MRP, the planning of operational-level activities is left to short term scheduling. So, we need a good scheduling algorithm to generate feasible schedules taking into account shop floor characteristics and multi-level job structures used in MRP. In this paper, we present a GA (Genetic Algorithm) solution for this complex scheduling problem based on a new gene to reflect the machine assignment, operation sequences and the levels of the operations relative to final operation. The relative operation level is the control parameter that paces the completion timing of the components belonging to the same branch in the multi-level job hierarchy. In order to revise the fixed relative level which solutions are confined to, we apply large step transition in the first step and GA in the second step. We compare the genetic algorithm and 2-phase optimization with several dispatching rules in terms of tardiness for about forty modified standard job-shop problem instances.

This paper considers a scheduling problem in a flexible job shop with a reconfigurable manufacturing cell. The flexible job shop has both operation and routing flexibilities, which can be represented in the form of a multiple process plan, i.e. each part can be processed through alternative operations, each of which can be processed on alternative machines. The scheduling problem has three decision variables: (a) selecting operation/machine pairs for each part; (b) sequencing of parts to be fed into the reconfigurable manufacturing cell; and (c) sequencing of the parts assigned to each machine. Due to the reconfigurable manufacturing cell's ability of adjusting the capacity, functionality and flexibility to the desired levels, the priority scheduling approach is proposed in which the three decisions are made at the same time by combining operation/machine selection rules, input sequencing rules and part sequencing rules. To show the performances of various rule combinations, simulation experiments were done on various instances generated randomly using the experiences of the manufacturing experts, and the results are reported for the objectives of minimizing makespan, mean flow time and mean tardiness, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate the fixation method for treating alveolar fractures in an emergency department. Methods: The efficiency of using the fixation method was judged on the basis of clinical criteria. Stability, occlusion state, bleeding amount after fixation, operation time, and difficulties during procedural operation were recorded. Results: Eight patients were enrolled in this study. In all instances, the fixation method was effective in bleeding control. Each patient had a noticeable decrement in bleeding. A wire was used for four of the eight patients, and nylon strings was used for the others. The average operation time was 6.3 minutes for the wire patients and 2.8 minutes for the Nylon string patients. No specific problem was identified during the procedural operation. However, the difference in the fixation material influenced the effectiveness of the procedure, the operation time, and the satisfaction of the doctor. Conclusion: In the emergency department, the fixation method using wire or nylon string in the treatment of alveolar fractures is effective in bleeding control

정보 교환을 위한 XML 인스턴스는 일반적으로 legacy한 관계형 데이터베이스에 저장되어 있기 때문에 효율적인 XML 응용을 위한 데이터베이스와의 연동이 요구 되었으며, 이러한 요구를 지원하기 위하여 인스턴스와 스키마 구조를 분리하여 관계형 데이터베이스에 저장하는 가상 분할 저장 또는 분할 저장 방식의 인스턴스 저장 모델들이 연구되어지고 있다. 그러나 이러한 저장 방식은 인스턴스 구조와 인스턴스간의 계층 정보가 불일치하여 검색 시 질의 처리를 어렵게 하고 있고, 또한 분리 저장에 따른 중복 데이터들의 존재로 저장 시 오버헤드가 높아진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 XML문서를 저장할 때, 기존 연구의 데이터베이스 스키마 구조에 Eltype이라는 필드를 추가하여 인스턴스와 스키마의 상이한 계층 정보를 동일화하고, 저장 구조 각각의 필드를 관계형 데이터베이스 스키마 필드와 일치되는 저장 구조를 제안하였다. 그 결과 XML 인스턴스와 스키마 구조간의 저장이 가능하게 되어 중복 저장에 따른 오버헤드 및 저장 공간 감소, 그리고 동일화된 저장 계층 구조로 인해 검색 질의 처리가 쉬워졌다.
