In this paper we consider a Bayesian theoretic approach to periodic incomplete preventive maintenance with minimal repair at failure. We assume that the system failure rate is increasing as the frequency of PM increases and that the system is replaced at the K-th PM under this maintenance strategy. The optimal policies which minimize the expected cost rates are discussed. We seek the optimal periodic PM interval x and replacement time K under a Weibull failure intensity. Assuming suitable prior distribution for the Weibull parameters, we derive the posterior distribution incorporating failure data and obtain the updated optimal replacement strategies.

대부분의 웹 캐시는 도큐먼트를 기반으로 하여 캐시 내에 임시적으로 도큐먼트를 저장하고 사용자의 요청이 있을 때 그에 해당된 도큐먼트가 캐시 내에 존재하면 그 도큐먼트를 사용자에게 전송해 주고, 캐시 내에 존재하지 않을 때에는 새로운 도큐먼트를 서버에게 요청하여 캐시 내에 복사를 하고 사용자에게 되돌려 준다. 이때 캐시의 용량 초과로 인해 새로운 도큐먼트를 기존의 도큐먼트와 교체하기 위해 도큐먼트 교체정책(replacement police)을 사용한다. 일반적인 교체정책에는 도큐먼트를 기반으로 한 LRU기법이나 LFU기법 등이 있고, 이러한 여러 가지 교체정책을 사용하여 캐시내의 도큐먼트를 효과적으로 교체한다. 하지만, 위의 교체정책은 사이트의 인기도를 고려하지 않고 도큐먼트 요청 빈도수 만을 고려하여 교체정책을 수행한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 요청이 빈번한 도큐먼트와 사이트의인기도를 고려한 교체정책을 사용하여 요청이 빈번하지 않은 도큐먼트를 효과적으로 교체함으로써 캐시의 적중률(hit-rate)을 높이고, 캐시의 내용을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 현대적인 네트워크 환경에 적합한 도큐먼트 교체정책인 사이트의 인기도를 고려한 도큐먼트 교체 정책을 제시한다.

Engineers are always concerned with life cycle costs for making important economic decisions through engineering action like reliability of products. Decisions during the reliability growth development of products involve trade-offs between invested costs and its returns. In order to find minimal LCC containing the reliability improvement cost, production cost, repair and replacement costs, and holding cost of spare parts for failure items we suggest in this paper relationship between development cost and sustaining cost in values of growth parameter $\beta$ of AMSAA model. This model is applied to the reliability growth program based on AMSAA model during R&D phase, the warranty activities of items and the block replacement policy for maintenance of items in avionic equipment.

In Malaysia, diagnosis and treatment of patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) is mainly localized at Hospital Kuala Lumpur, which is the national referral center for rare diseases. To date there are 83 patients diagnosed with MPS in our center, with MPS II being the commonest. The Malaysian National Medicines Policy second edition has a specific section on the orphan drugs which includes recombinant human enzyme for enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in MPS. So far, National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency Malaysia has approved recombinant human enzyme for MPS types I (Loranidase), II (idursulfase), IVA (elosulfase alfa), and VI (Galsufase). Access to Idursulfase beta (another recombinant human enzyme for MPS II) and vestronidase alfa-vjbk (MPS VII) required special authorization on named patient basic. Currently there are 25 patients receiving ERT, 70% of the funding are from Ministry of Health (MOH), the remaining 30% are from various charitable funds and humanitarian programs. Thirteen newly diagnosed patients have to queue for an additional fund. Four patients have been treated with Hematopoietic stem cell transplant. MOH has also published guidelines regarding the patient selection criteria for ERT and treatment monitoring schedule.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm is a life threatening condition which necessitates prompt diagnosis and management. Between January 1987 and September 1993,58 patients was admitted to our department. Mean age at admission was 53 years.[range 25-82]. Clinical findings included chest pain in 48 cases[83%],renal failure in 12[20%],aortic insufficiency in 11[19%] and stroke in 9[15%]. Predisposing factors were hypertension in 50 cases[86%],Marfan`s syndrome in 6[10%] and diabetes melitus in 1 [2%]. 23 patients[ type A 13,type B 10 ] underwent surgical treatment. Surgical technique for type A included graft replacement of ascending aorta in 7 cases,graft replacement and aortic valve resuspension in 3,and Bentall`s operation in 3 cases. Type B patients were operated when specific indications applied. There were three [Two in type A and 1 in type B] deaths in the operation group and nine [ 5 in type A and 4 in type B] deaths in the medical group. These results support our current policy in the treatment of dissecting aortic aneurysm.

Recently, because of the increase of management system about waste concrete and the policy of recycling promotion of government, the use of recycled aggregate is rapidly increasing nowadays. But, due to the poverty of quality and the lack of KS standard, the use of recycled fine aggregate is not active. Therefore, it was intended to compare and investigate effects which types of sand and replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. As the result of this study, in the case of the recycled replacement ratio of 25$\%$, fresh and engineering properties were higher than those of natural fing aggregates with the exception of durability. Also, because quality according to types of fine aggregate shows the difference between various properties, it was considered that the profound study for this result would be necessary.

In this paper, cost analysis is conducted using inter-failure interval under renewable warranty subject to imperfect repair for multi-component system. One way to model the imperfect repair is to use the quasi-renewal process (Wang and Pham 1996). Two alternative quasi-renewal processes were suggested by Park and Pham (2010) using quasi-renewal process; first is an altered quasi-renewal process with random variable parameter and second is a mixed quasi-renewal process considering replacement service and repair service, simultaneously. In this study, we use the altered and mixed quasi-renewal processes and develop the warranty cost model to obtain the expected value of warranty cost and to help company make important decisions regarding the warranty policy. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology derived in the paper.

In this study, we employed an arithmetic process (AP) approach to resolve gearbox maintenance problems. The approach is realistic and direct in modelling the characteristics of a deteriorating system such as a gearbox since a decreasing AP can model a gearbox's successive operating times and an increasing AP can model the corresponding consecutive repair times. First of all, two test statistics were used to check whether the process is arithmetic or not. Next, model parameters of the AP were estimated using the simple linear regression method. Finally, the optimal replacement policy based on minimising the long-run average cost per day was determined for each type of gearbox.

Purpose: In this paper, the minimal repair-replacement warranty policy is used to carry out a warranty cost analysis with warranty servicing times and failure times that are statistically correlated to bivariate distributions. Methods: Based on the developed approach by Park and Pham (2012a), we investigate the property of the Freund's bivariate exponential distribution and obtain the number of warranty services using the field data to conduct the warranty cost analysis. Results: Maximum likelihood estimates are presented to estimate the parameters and the warranty model is investigated using a Freund's bivariate exponential distribution. A numerical example is discussed to deal with the applicability of the developed approach in the paper. Conclusion: A novel approach of analyzing the warranty cost is proposed for a product in which failure times and warranty servicing times are used simultaneously to investigate the eligibility of a warranty claim.

E-Government is an administrative innovation that utilizes information technology and is the most powerful means to strengthen government competitiveness. At this moment, countries around the world are continuously improving government competitiveness by continuously implementing government innovation through the implementation of e-Government. Many scholars argue that e-Government should be changed in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Therefore, Korea adopted the government 3.0 instead of the e-Government and promoted the information policy. But the result was a failure. Korea was once a leading country in e-Government, but now it is falling due to government 3.0. The reason can be analyzed in various ways. First of all, over the past decade, Korea's e-Government has been neglected without obtaining the permanence of policy. And the Korea government pursued a new strategy under the name of disconnecting from the past and lost policy permanence. Therefore, future information policy, especially e-Government policies, should be pursued from a politically neutral point of view. The lesson of government 3.0 failure in Korea is clear. Regardless of the government's replacement & regime change, the information policy should be pursued with consistency.
