This paper presents the problem of controlling asynchronous sequential machines in the presence of input disturbances, which may be also regarded as an adversary in a game theoretic setting. The main objective is to provide necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a corrective controller that solves model matching problem of an asynchronous machine suffering from input disturbance. The existence condition can be stated in terms of a simple comparison of two skeleton matrices. The proposed controller eliminates the adversarial effect of input disturbance and makes the controlled machine mimic the behavior of a model in stable-state way. Whenever controller exists, algorithms for their design are outlined and demonstrated in a case study.

This paper presents the problem of controlling asynchronous sequential machines in the presence of input disturbances, which may be also regarded as an adversary in a game theoretic setting. The main objective is to develope a new methodology for including unpredictable behavior of input disturbance into models of asynchronous machines. The input disturbance, representing uncontrollable noise input, is embedded into a new model of asynchronous machines in form of input/state finite state machines. It is shown that the proposed modeling preserves the fundamental model and well-pose of asynchronous machines. The reachability matrix, an important performance index of asynchronous machines, is also adapted according to input disturbance and will be used for constructing corrective controllers in the companion paper.

The Scandinavian cluster of welfare societies has for many years been considered a realisation of Richard Titmuss' institutional redistributive model of social policy. Recent reforms have, however challenged this assumption. The paper sets out to evaluate whether recent major changes in welfare provision are merely modifying the model or whether the Scandianian states are converging towards some kind of European social model. It is concluded that besides very many first order changes, such as reducing benefits, an number of second and third order changes have occurred; i.e. the institutional setting and the objective of the welfare states have changed during the 1990s. The Scandinavian welfare states are still distinct, but less so than a decade or two ago. The new elements are features usually associated with welfare models at play within the European Union. It is, hence, concluded that welfare in Scandinavia is undergoing a process of Europeanisation.

This study discusses "mechanisms" in a research facility, specifically focusing on the question of how we can understand what happens in the physical environment and the communication between researchers. This study attempts to address this question by examining two physical settings, before and after the move of one research-educational facility, the Institute of Paper Science and Technology. The objective of the study is to suggest conceptual models to comprehend the relationships between spatial layouts and communication. The study examines the underlying mechanism of how the levels of communication meet the layers of spatial structure. The paper has four parts. First, the preceding studies will be reviewed evoking some issues of communication and physical setting in research facilities. Second a conceptual typology in office plan will be developed providing a theoretical framework to review the spatial organization of the subject research facility, the Institute of Paper Science and Technology (IPST). Third, the spatial organization of the former building (before the move) and the present building (after the move) of IPST will be analyzed. Finally, conceptual models of the mechanism between the communication and the spatial organization will be drawn up.

The objective of this paper is to present relevant information and for proposing legal standards on pesticide residues around golf courses. Among 67 pesticide ingredients used for the courses in Korea, 30 items necessary for standard setting were selected and theoretical residue limits were computed. Pesticide residue limits applicable to golf courses in Korea were for 16 pesticides in run-off water on the health and ecotoxicological bases and in soil on the health basis, as selected by practical use pattern. It is recommended to accumulate scientific data by continuous research efforts in order to justify the pesticide residue limits in run-off water and soils of golf courses.

The chloride ion attack on the passive iron oxide layer of reinforcement steel embedded in concrete under variable temperature environment is influenced by several parameters and some of them still need to be further investigated in more detail. Different school of thoughts exist between past researchers and the data is limited in the high temperature and high chloride concentration range which is necessary with regards to setting boundary conditions for enhancement of tafel diagram model presented in this research. The objective of this paper is to investigate the detrimental coupled effects of chloride and temperature on corrosion of reinforced concrete structures in the high range by incorporating classical Tafel diagram chloride induced corrosion model and laboratory controlled experimental non-linear effect of temperature on corrosion of rebar embedded in concrete.

The objective of this experimental investigation was to examine the fundamental properties of antiwashout underwater concrete. Expriments were conducted on the antiwashout property in underwater, the compressive strength in the air and in underwater, setting time, slump flow loss. As a result, a dosage of 2.0-2.5kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ antiwashout admixture was found to be appropriate not to cause water pollution and to provide a reliably good compressive strength in underwater concrete. Also, the experimental results showed that the amount of less than 50mg/$\ell$ suspended solid was required to obtain the underwater to air compressive strength ratio of more than 80%

The small wind turbines under a few kW grades has the merits of setting up with low costs by individuals, and get the energy saving effects that, it has the secured, separate markets from the big range systems, and the developing of it is continuously proceeding. The objective of this paper is to provide the design characteristics analysis of a dual-rotor, ironless, Radial Flux Permanent Magnet(RFPM) machines for small wind turbine. This thesis is aiming mainly analyzing the characteristics of the output power of the Prototype to verify through the theoretical study and tests. The results reveal an indication of the machine best suited with respect to performance criterion for a particular design requirement.

This paper solves different machine-part group formation (MPGF) problems using genetic algorithms to demonstrate that it can be a new robust alternative to the conventional heuristic approaches for optimization problems. We first give an overview of genetic algorithms: Its principle, various considerations required for its implementation, and the method for setting up parameter values are explained. Then, we describe the MPGF problem which are critical to the successful operation of cellular manufacturing or flexible manufacturing systems. We concentrate on three models of the MPGF problems whose forms of the objective function and/or constraints are quite different from each other. Finally, numerical examples of each of the models descibed above are solved by using genetic algorithms. The result shows that the solutions derived by genetic algorithms are comparable to those obtained through problem-specific heuristic methods.

Objective: This study aims to analyze qualitatively if PTS methods are applicable to the agricultural works of Korea. Background: Many studies on setting standard time have been performed for manufacturing and service industries, not many studies on agricultural work have been carried out domestically and internationally. Method: MTM, MOST, Work Factor, MODAPTS were applied to some agricultural works, and limitations of each method were found out. Results: MTM was found to be more applicable than other methods, except for mental works. Conclusion: In general, many Korean agricultural works need squat postures, which are not taken into account in most of PTS methods. Continuous observation with stop watch is recommended for establishing the standard time for the agricultural works of Korea. Application: The information drawn from this study would be helpful to the farmer safety assurance system being established by Korean government.
