This paper presents a new optimization technique of acceleration curve for a wafer transfer crane movement in which high speed and low vibration are desirable. This technique is based on a genetic algorithm with a penalty function for acceleration optimization under the assumption that an initial profile of acceleration curves constitutes the first generation of the genetic algorithm. Especially the penalty function consists of the violation of constraints and the number of violated constraints. The proposed penalty function makes the convergence rate of optimization process using the genetic algorithm more faster than the case of genetic algorithm without a penalty function. The optimized acceleration of the crane through the genetic algorithm and commercial dynamic analysis software has shown to have accurate movement and low vibration.

The reduction in the amount of asialoglycoprotein (ASGP) receptor, which resides exclusively on the plasma membrane of functioning mammalian hepatocytes, as a consequence of hepato-cellular damage has been demonstrated in various pathologic conditions of the liver. Galac-tosylated human serum albumin (GSA) is a newly developed receptor-binding agent, specific for the ASGP receptor. Tc-99m GSA binds quantitatively to liver ASGP receptors and the rate of accumulation in the liver is dependent on hepatic function represented as the amount of receptor, as well as the amount of ligand injected, its affinity to the receptor and the hepatic blood flow. The findings of Tc-99m GSA scintigraphy were reported to reflect the hepatic function of the patients with large hepatic tumors, obstructive jaundice, acute and chronic liver disease. Tc-99m GSA scintigraphy is an easy and reliable test and has the clinical potentials to evaluate the liver function in the patients with hepatic disorders.

The purpose of this paper is to estimate production function in the coastal fishing, especially long bag set net fishing and trap fishing using Cobb-Douglas production function with the three main variables: fishing quantity per tonage(WQFP), the number of working persons per tonage(WEMP), and the number of utilized fishing equipments per tonage(WEQU). The statistical results of such estimation reveal that fishing quantity per tonage can be expressed as a function of the number of working persons per tonage and the number of utilized fishing equipments per tonage. The estimated coefficients of WEMP and WEQU are statistically significant and also satisfy the requirements of Cobb-Douglas production function. This study also estimates marginal rate of technical substitution of labor in terms of capital (MRT $S_{LK}$ )in each long bag set net fishing and trap fishing. The resuits of this study show us that trap fishing has the technical characteristic of constant returns to scale(CRS) but long bag net fishing has that of decreassing returns to scale(DRS).

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of vitamin I supplementation on renal function in high fat diet and adriamycin (ADR) induced experimental nephrotic syndrome in model rats. The effects of vitamin E supplementation on renal function in high fat diet and ADR treated rats were as follows. Kidney weight was decreased by vitamin E supplementation. Serum total protein was increased by the excess supplementation. Blood urea nitrogen(BUN) was decreased by the high supplementation. However, serum albumin and creatinine showed no significant differences between groups. Urinary volume tended to increase by vitamin I supplementation. Urinary urea-N tended by vitamin I supplementation. Particularly glomerular filtration rate(GFR) was significantly decreased by vitamin E supplementation. These results suggested that vitamin E supplementation could alleviate the adverse effects caused in renal function by highfatdiet and ADR treatments.

For the exact classification of the arm motion this paper proposes EMG pattern recognition method with neural network. For this autoregressive coefficient, linear cepstrum coefficient, and adaptive cepstrum coefficient are selected for the feature parameter of EMG signal, and they are extracted from time series EMG signal. For the function recognition of the feature parameter a radial basis function network, a field of neural network is designed. For the improvement of recognition rate, a number of radial basis function network are combined in parallel, comparing with a backpropagation neural network an existing method.

This paper presents a energy function to reflect the control effect of speed governor which has a cut-off property which means position and rate limit The proposed energy function satisfies the semi-negativeness of its time derivative and well reflects the parameters of speed governor to the energy function. The transient stability analysis by the direct method for the single machine infinite bus system has been conducted with the use of the proposed energy function, which shows that the results by the direct method well agree with that by the conventional time simulation method. This thesis shows a possibility of more accurate stability analysis by taking into account the cut-off property of speed governor's output.

This paper addresses the issue of estimating regression function with errors in variables using wavelets. We adopt a nonparametric approach in assuming that the regression function has no specific parametric form, To account for errors in covariates deconvolution is involved in the construction of a new class of linear wavelet estimators. using the wavelet characterization of Besov spaces the question of regression estimation with Besov constraint can be reduced to a problem in a space of sequences. Rates of convergence are studied over Besov function classes $B_{spq}$ using $L_2$ error measure. It is shown that the rates of convergence depend on the smoothness s of the regression function and the decay rate of characteristic function of the contaminating error.

Bowing of the vocal cords may be due to aging. atrophy. bilateral superior laryngeal nerve paralysis. injudicious vocal cord surgery, of an idiopathic cause. The bowing usually produces a dysphonia characterized by breathiness due to air escape : however, it can produce aphonia. This report reviews vocal function after surgical correction of bowing of the vocal cords for diagnosis and management. The vocal function of 13 patients with sulcus vocalis and 12 patients with vocal cord atrophy was evaluated with the use of a test battery of multidimensional evaluation items. The voice was improved postoperatively in most patients. The voice improvement was reflected objectively in maximum phonation time, mean air flow rate during phonation, stroboscopic findings. sound pressure level range and fundamental frequency range of phonation, and results of acoustic analyses of tape-recorded voice. The vocal function after surgical correction of the sulcus vocalis and vocal cord atrophy was improved postoperatively in most patient, but the results were not satisfactory.

In this paper, we propose a generalization of Lindley distribution (GLD) via a special structure that is concern with progressively Type-II right censoring and time failure data. We study the modern properties that we have built by such combination, for example, survival function, hazard function, moments, and estimation by non-Bayesian methods. Application on some selected data related to Lindley distribution (LD) and (ED) have been employed to find out the best distribution that can fit data comparing with the GLD.

When there is one change-point in the hazard rate model, a change-point estimator with the partial score process is suggested and compared with the previously developed estimators. The limiting distribution of the partial score process we used is a function of the Brownian bridge. Simulation study gives the comparison of change-point estimators.
