It is in general reported that construction cost in an underground storage facility is less than that of the same capacity and features in an aboveground facility. Since these costs have a derivative with respect to facility size and fridging unit, the cost of construction and fridging unit are sensitive to location of storage, items to store, and rock quality of storage site. In this paper, to analyse an economic investment point for the underground food storage relative to aboveground storage, we compared these two models which have equivalent annual cost with the total cost that consists of initial facility investment cost and annual operation cost. Based on comparison of the economic investment in the underground with aboveground storage. an economic initial investment cost has been suggested for storing the agricultural and fish products.

Facing information overload in today's complex environments, managers look to a concise set of marketing metrics to provide direction for marketing decision making. While there have been several papers dealing with the theoretical aspects of dashboard creation, no research creates and tests a dashboard using scientific techniques. This study develops and demonstrates an empirical approach to dashboard metric selection. In a fast moving consumer goods category, this research selects leading indicators for national-brand and store-brand sales and revenue premium performance from 99 brand-specific and relative-to-competition variables including price, brand equity, usage occasions, and multiple measures of awareness, trial/usage, purchase intent, and liking/satisfaction. Plotting impact size and wear-in time reveals that different kinds of variables predict sales at distinct lead times, which implies that managerial action may be taken to turn the metrics around before performance itself declines.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a passive transponder chip for RFID applications. Passive transponders do not have their own power supply, and therefore all power required for the operation of a passive transponder must be drawn from the field of the reader. The designed transponder consists of a full wave rectifier to generate a dc supply voltage, a 128-bit mask ROM to store the information, and Manchester coding and load modulation circuits to be used for transmitting the information from the transponder to the reader. The transponder with a size 410 x 900 ${\mu}$m$^2$ has been fabricated using 0.65 ${\mu}$m 2-poly, 2-metal CMOS process. The measurement results show the data transmission rate of 3.9 kbps at RF frequency 125 kHz.

In this paper, we design and implement an efficient fair off-line electronic cash system based on Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP), in which the anonymity of coins is revocable by a trustee in case of dispute. To achieve this, we employ the Petersen and Poupard s electronic cash system [1] and extend it by using an elliptic curve over the finite field GF($2^n$). This naturally reduces message size by 85% compared with the original scheme and makes a smart card to store coins easily. Furthermore, we use the Baek et al. s provably secure public key encryption scheme [2] to improve the security of electronic cash system. As an extension, we propose a method to add atomicity into new electronic cash system. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first result to implement a fair off-line electronic cash system based on ECDLP with provable security.

A pressure vessel consists of an inner tank and the outer tank; the material of the inner tank is austenite stainless steel, and the outer tank is general carbon steel. As the storage amount increase, the size of the inner tank for LNG also increases, which eventually increases the weight of the LNG storage tank. The Cold Stretch method can transport and store the LNG in a larger amount than the conventional pressure container, and the weight of the pressure vessel can also be reduced at 50 70% due to the reduction of the thickness, which is excellent from an economic and energy consumption perspective. Although the Cold Stretch method has these advantages, the domestic situation has not developed any related legislation. In this study, the actual production of pressure vessels using the Cold Stretch method will be processed and the volume expansion after the Cold Stretch will be checked and compared with the mechanical properties.

This study was undertaken to examine the profit efficiency and its determining factors, the investment opportunity, and the challenges of shea butter producers in the northern region of Ghana. The methods employed in this research were the Stochastic Profit Frontier (SPF) model, gain-cost and investment return analyses, as well as Kendall's W statistic using primary data collected from 120 purposively-selected respondents. Results from the analysis indicated that profit efficiency was positively influenced by sex, household size, marital status, educational level, transportation cost, store rent, and price of shea nut with a gain in profit efficiency of 58.5%. The investment analysis demonstrated a net gain per person of $8,077 equivalent to GH₵ 28,270 Ghanaian cedi (GH₵) using 2016 exchange rate (GH₵ 3.5 = $1). Among the challenges identified, the poor quality of shea nuts was the most prioritised challenge with 72.8% agreement among the respondents. Based on these findings, it was recommended that proper training and education, as well as improvement in shea nut quality, should be promoted to improve the profit efficiency of shea butter producers.

We present an efficient decoding scheme for Huffman codes in which we use a properties of canonical prefix tree. After Huffman tree is converted to canonical Huffman tree, we represent Huffman tree with minimum information using rules associated with values of nodes in canonical tree. The proposed scheme can reduce memory to store Huffman tree information while maintains the same Processing time. The memory size in order to represent tree information is 2h + 2klogn which is less than those of previous methods. But the number of search is similar to previously proposed techniques.

Automated Storage/Retrieval (AS/R) systems have been used mostly in manufacturing or distribution industry in order to store or retrieve palletized items automatically. Since the items ore heavy or bulky, only one pallet at a time is moved by the stacker crane In this study, however, we introduce the "multi -load" AS/R system in which the items to be stored are data storage devices of equal size such as video tape or compact disc. Since the items are small and light multiple items can be stored and retrieved in each trip by using a magazine and a robot arm mounted on the crane Given the magazine capacity, and the locations of retrieval items and empty cells in the rack, the throughput of the multi-load AS/R system will depend on the selection of storage locations and the sequence of visits. We propose four heuristic algorithms for the multi-command. Computer simulation is used to evaluate the four algorithms in terms of throughput and number of back tracking of the crane.
