Considered is the concurrent spare part(CSP) requirements problem of new equipment system. In the considered system, when a part fails, the part cannot be repaired and should be replaced. In addition, cannibalization is allowed. It is assumed that the failure of a part follows a Poisson process. The operational availability concept in CSP is defined, and a formula is derived to calculate the operational availability using expected machine operating time during CSP period. The problem is formulated as the operational availability maximization problem with available budget constraint and a heuristic solution search procedure is developed. An illustrative example is shown to explain the solution procedure.

Previous researches on the improvement of logical thinking in Informatics subject have used general logical thinking test and only limited improvement of logical thinking by programming learning result. In this study, the operational definition of the logical thinking in problem-solving process on Informatics education is different from the general logical thinking and the logical thinking of the other subjects. Firstly, we suggested the operational definition of components of logical thinking using the open questionnaire by expert and research team discussion. Also, we suggested the relationship between the operational definition and contents of the 'problem-solving methods and procedure' section in secondary Informatics subject. Finally, this study developed the evaluation contents based on the operational definition of components of logical thinking. The components of logical thinking which was required in problem-solving process on Informatics subject were ordering reasoning, propositional logic, controlling variables, combinatorial logic, proportional reasoning. We suggested the relationship between operational definition and problem-solving process and assessment of logical thinking in problem-solving process on Informatics subject. This paper will give meaningful insight to supply the guideline of the teaching strategy and evaluation methods for improving the logical thinking in Informatics education.

In this study, we formulate production costing problem with environmental and operational constraints into an optimization problem of LP form. In the process of formulation, auxiliary constraints on which reflect unit loading order are constructed to reduce the size of optimization problem by economic operation rules. As a solution of the optimization problem in LP form, we use Karmarkar's method which performs much faster than simplex method in solving large scale LP problem. The proposed production costing algorithm is applied to IEEE Reliability Test System, and performs production simulation under environmental and operational constraints. Test and computer results are given to show the accuracy and usefulness of the proposed algorithm in the field of power system planning.

BPF(block pulse function) has been used widely in the system analysis and controller design. The integral operational matrix of BPF converts the system represented in the form of the differential equation into the algebraic problem. Therefore, it is important to reduce the error caused by the integral operational matrix. In this paper, a new integral operational matrix is derived from the approximating function using Lagrange's interpolation formula. Comparing the proposed integral operational matrix with another, the result by proposed matrix is closer to the real value than that by the conventional matrix. The usefulness of th proposed method is also verified by numerical examples.

Operational Modal Analysis also known as Ambient Modal Analysis has an increasing interest in mechanical cngineering. Especially on big structures where the excitation and not less important the determination of the forces is most often a problem. In a structure like a wind turbine wing where the modes occur both close in frequency and bi-directional the Ambient excitation has big advantages. (omitted)

This paper offers the theory and method for regression analysis of the regression model with operational parameter variables based on the fundamentals of mathematical statistics. Regression coefficients are usually constants related to the problem of regression analysis. This paper considers that regression coefficients are not constants but the functions of some operational parameter variables. This is a kind of method of two-step fitting regression model. The second part of this paper considers the experimental step numbers as recursive variables, the recursive identification with unknown operational parameter variables, which includes two recursive variables, is deduced. Then the optimization and the recursive identification are combined to obtain the sequential experiment optimum design with operational parameter variables. This paper also offers a fast recursive algorithm for a large number of sequential experiments.

In this article we discuss some aspects of operational Tau Method on delay differential equations and then we apply this method on the differential delay equation defined by $\omega(u)\;=\frac{1}{u}\;for\;1\lequ\leq2$ and $(u\omega(u))'\;=\omega(u-1)\;foru\geq2$, which was introduced by Buchstab. As Khajah et al.[1] applied the Recursive Tau Method on this problem, they had to apply that Method under the Mathematica software to get reasonable accuracy. We present very good results obtained just by applying the Operational Tau Method using a Fortran code. The results show that we can obtain as much accuracy as is allowed by the Fortran compiler and the machine-limitations. The easy applications and reported results concerning the Operational Tau are again confirming the numerical capabilities of this Method to handle problems in different applications.

One method to improve quality before releasing of S/W after development is to enhance the reliability, whose direct methodology is to detect and revise fault through testing. Once the S/W is released because it meets the target reliability, the operational reliability problem arises. It is obvious the operational reliability different from that of testing stage depending on the condition whether it is universal(package) S/W or dedicated S/W. I propose the methodology to calculate operational software reliability of universal and dedicated S/W in this paper.

Introducing algorithm and programming education to the middle school 'Information' curriculum is appropriate to develop higher thinking skills like problem solving ability and creativity that is the most important ability to the people living in the knowledge and information society. But to providing reduced algorithm and programming contents of higher education increase the cognitive burden on the students in the concrete operational period who is not yet reached to the formal operational period, and moreover transfering principles and strategies learned in the algorithm to the programming for the problem solving is difficult. For this study, student's developmental characteristics in the concrete operational period among cognitive developmental periods was considered, and FAAP(First-Algorithm After-Programming) learning model which can transfer algorithm to programming was developed, and finally the effectiveness of learning motivation and achievement to the concrete operational period's students was verified. Results of the tests showed that learning motivation and achievement of the concrete operational period's students that learned FAAP model were different significantly.

Bulking phenomena and scum formation are common problem in suspended growth system like the activated sludge plants for wastewater treatment. Apart from wastewater composition, operating conditions, such as mechanical stress by insufficient oxygen supply, are often decisive for the occurrence of a bulking or scumming problem. There were the comparative aeration tanks in terms of sludge bulking caused by the difference of mechanical aeration facilities in the wastewater treatment plant of N paper mill company. In this study the cause of bulking was investigated through not only the biological isolation and identification but also a series of operational data consideration. On the basis of the investigation results for bulking cause, the operational criteria on dissolved oxygen concentration was derived to decrease the bulking problem.
