The authors carried out an experiment to investigate the echo fluctuations from ocean bottom due to ship's motion. The bottom echoes was continuously measured, by using a 50 kHz Echo sounder on board of the ship being at anchor under the sea condition of 15 knots in wind velocity and approximately 2 meters in wave height, to extract the information about the pulse stretching and the ship's motion from the first return and the second return. A data acquisition system was used to record digitally the envelope of the echoes, and the analysis was applied to the echo data collected from the continental shelf in the South China Sea. The results obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The equivalent pulse width of the second return echoes from ocean bottom was 2.4 times longer than that of the first return echoes. 2. The echo peak values of the first return fluctuated markedly than that of the second return and was shown to be extremely sensitive to small change in ship's motion. 3. Energy target strength and peak target strength of the sandy-mud bottom were -13.4 dB and -14.6 dB, respectively.

Electrical Railroads provide electric power, which can operate vehicles, via feeder wires. And the supplied current returns to the transformer substation through lines and ground net. The return current, related to signal, power and power line, and track circuit systems, is one of the most important component in the electric railway. Therefore, to prevent system faults and breakdown according to unbalance and overcurrent of the return current, various and detailed analyses for the return current are needed. In the paper, we present measurement and analysis manners in real environment and evaluate its safety. For analysis, we utilize the measured values of return currents measured in track circuits in electric railway. we expect that this research plays a key role to the related fields.

Bypass air conditioning systems are divided into three types; outdoor air bypass, mixed air bypass and return air bypass system. Among bypass air conditioning systems, a return air bypass system is more effective than other two systems because it doesn't induce unconditioned outdoor air into conditioned room. The numerical study on the bypass air conditioning system shows this system can maintain indoor RH(Relative Humidity) less than a conventional CAV (Constant Air Volume) air conditioning system by adjusting face and bypass dampers at part load. A simulator was built to compare results of a numerical experiment and those of a simulator experiment. The results of the simulator experiment was nearly same as those of the numerical experiment; when a design sensible load (the ratio of sensible load to total sensible load) was 70 percent (at this time, RSHF=0.7), indoor relative humidity (in case of both numerical experiments and simulator experiments) was maintained below 60% specified by ASHRAE STANDARD 62-1999. The bypass air conditioning system is expected to be applied to many buildings where the Percentage of latent loads or air change tate is high.

This paper presents a new method, called a modified economic order quantity method, for determining the optimal inventory policy, which uses the rate of return as its decision criterion. Especially for the simplest possible inventory system with constant demand rate, no backlogging, no lead time, etc., the formula for the optimal order policy is derived. Also mentioned are the relative merits and shortcomings of this method compared to the conventional EOQ model.

Disposable marine product packaging materials such as wooden, Styrofoam, and corrugated cardboard boxes have a very low reuse rate, thus causing the logistics costs to rise and making it difficult to establish a unit load system for marine products. Disposable packing containers to be discarded are accompanied by resource and environmental issues home and abroad. Transportation vehicles for marine products have to return empty without loading different kinds of products after delivery due to the smell and properties of marine products, thus posing as an obstacle to logistics rationalization. In an effort to overcome those limitations, this study examined the stages of transportation including "producer-wholesale market in the producing area-commission merchant-wholesale market in the consumption area-commission merchant-quasi-wholesale market-consumer" and also analyzed the utilization and distribution of disposable packaging materials currently used in the circulation of marine products including wooden, Styrofoam, and corrugated cardboard boxes. Based on the analysis results, the investigator developed a logistics rationalization model capable of promoting semi-permanent reuse and lowering empty vehicle rate on return routes as an alternative to address environmental issues caused by disposable packaging materials, which have been an obstacle to the logistics rationalization of marine products, packaging costs in the process of repeating packing and unpacking at each stage of marine products circulation, and empty vehicle rates on return routes after marine products delivery.

The author attempted to find most suitable formulas for probable rainfall intensities with analysis and consideration for characteristics of rainfall intensities according to the short and long period return periods at Cheong-Joo district. Above mentioned formulas induced by this study can be contributed to the credibility of runoff estimation for urban sewerage system, drainage works in small catchment area and embankment works in the rivers. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1 Calculation values by Gumbel-Chow method were selected as a mean values for the calculation of probable rainfall intensities according to return periods in the short period. 2. Calculations for probable rainfall intensities for long period are based upon to the result by Iwai's method. Talbot type, {{{{I= {a} over {t+b} }}}} is confirmed as a most suitable formula for probable rainfall intensities among calculation methods in the short periods at Cheong-Joo district. 4. Specific coefficient method, I24=RN24${\beta}$N was selected as a means of calculation for suitable formulas of probable rainfall intensities according to return periods in case of long period. 5. Runoff estimation with high credibility by rational formula can be anticipated by establishment for the most suitable probable rainfall intensities at Cheong-Joo district.

We propose the performance enhancing method optimization of an asynchronous 2.5 Gbps/1.25 Gbps optical subscriber network with inverse RZ (Return to Zero) coded downstream and NRZ (Non Return to Zero) upstream re-modulation by adjusting threshold level control of a receiver. We theoretically analyze the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance by modeling the occurrence of BER by simulation with MATLAB according to the types of downstream data. The results have shown that the normalized threshold level in an optical receiver could be saturated at 1/3 as the SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) increases. The needed SNR for obtaining the BER $10^{-9}$ can be reduced by $\sim$5 dB by optimizing the normalized threshold level at 1/3 instead of by using the conventional receiver with threshold level of 0.5. The proposed system can be a useful technology for asynchronous optical access networks with asymmetric upstream and downstream data rates, because the improved minimum receiving power could replace a light source with a source with lower power and lower cost in an OLT (Optical Line Termination).

We consider a rental company that dynamically manages Its capacity level through capacity addition and return While serving customer with its own capacity, the company expands its capacity by renting items from an outside source so that it can avoid lost opportunities of rental which occur when stock is not sufficient. If stock becomes sufficiently large enough to cope with demands, the company returns expanded capacity to the outside source. Formulating the model into a Markov decision problem, we identify an optimal capacity management Policy which states when the company should expand its capacity and when it should return expanded capacity after capacity addition. Since it is intractable to analytically find the optimal capacity management policy and the optimal size of capacity expansion, we present a numerical procedure that finds these optimal values based on the value iteration method. Numerical analysis is implemented and we observe monotonic properties of the optimal performance measures by system parameters, which are meaningful in developing effective heuristic policies.

Magnetostrictive actuators have seen increasing use in fine positioning system because it has many advantages such as friction free, resolution of ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ or nm scale, and powerful output force. Usually, the magnetic circuit of magnetostrictive actuator has components which are flux return path, coil, and magnetostrictive material. It is classified in two types according to existence of the permanent magnet. The magnetic circuit having optimal performances transfer magnetic field which is obtained by providing input current at coil without energy loss. This paper described mathematical model of magnetic circuit for getting design variables. The modeling equation is obtained from the relations between flux and reluctance of the magnetic equivalent circuit. Also, finite element analysis has been used to study the performance of magnetic circuit according to change of design variables such as existence and shape of the permanent magnet, flux return path etc. The modification of dimensions enables us to optimize magnetic circuit.
