Solar energy harvesting is practiced by various nations for the purpose of energy security and environment preservation in order to reduce overdependence on oil. Converting solar energy into electrical energy through Photovoltaic (PV) module can take place either in on-grid or off-grid applications. In recent time Lithium battery is exhibiting its presence in on-grid applications but its role in off-grid application is rarely discussed in the literature. The preliminary capacity and Peukert's study indicated that the battery quality is good and can be subjected for life cycle test. The capacity of the battery was 10.82 Ah at 1 A discharge current and the slope of 1.0117 in the Peukert's study indicated the reaction is very fast and independent on rate of discharge. In this study Lithium Iron Phosphate battery (LFP) after initial characterization was subjected to life cycle test which is specific to solar off-grid application as defined in IEC standard. The battery has delivered just 6 endurance units at room temperature before its capacity reached 75% of rated value. The low life of LFP battery in off-grid application is discussed based on State of Charge (SOC) operating window. The battery was operated both in high and low SOC's in off-grid application and both are detrimental to life of lithium battery. High SOC operation resulted in cell-to-cell variation and low SOC operation resulted in lithium plating on negative electrode. It is suggested that to make it more suitable for off-grid applications the battery by default has to be overdesigned by nearly 40% of its rated capacity.

사업체조사에서는 흔히 수정절사법이 사용되며 이 방법을 사용함으로써 표본의 수를 줄이면서도 추정의 정확성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 전수층의 무응답률은 크게 높아지고 있으며 예비표본을 이용한 표본대체가 불가능하기 때문에 전수층에서 발생한 무응답은 추정의 정확성을 크게 떨어뜨리고 있다. 특히 무응답이 관심변수에 영향을 받는 경우에는 편향이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 이를 적절히 처리하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전수층에서 발생한 무응답을 적절히 처리하는 방법의 하나로 편향보정 추정법을 제안하였다. 특히 Chung과 Shin(2020)에서 제안한 편향보정 추정량을 전수층 편향보정에 적용하였으며 전수층이라는 특수한 경우에 맞는 새로운 추정 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 우수성을 살펴보았으며 실제 자료 분석을 실시하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 우수성을 확인하였다.

While demands for express service are rapidly increasing according to recent progress of electronic commerce, express service companies are struggling to take a larger delivery service market share through ongoing improvement in their service processes. Extension of cut-off time for express service centers can provide the express company with increase of total sales, but it may also cause to increase the possibility not to satisfy customer needs due to work delay in the consolidation terminal. Therefore, compromised decision for cut-off time of each service center should be made by taking operation characteristics of the consolidation terminal into account. This study suggests an approach for determining the cut-off time for express service centers according to operational characteristics of the consolidation terminal with the objective of maximizing expected incremental sales. The problem defined in this study can be represented as two successive models; one is an integer programing model in which the best cut-off time for each sales center are determined, and the other is a single machine scheduling model in which a working schedule in the consolidation terminal is obtained. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve the two models simultaneously. Finally, an example problem is carried out to verify applicability and performance of the algorithm with the data set collected from an express company.

The assessment of the potential for the design of marine renewable energy systems is reviewed and the current situation for marine renewable energy is promising. The most studied forms of marine renewable energy are ocean wind energy, ocean wave energy and tidal energy. Wind turbine generators include mostly horizontal axis type and vertical axis type. But also more exotic ideas such as a kite design. Wave energy devices consist of designs converting wave oscillations in electric power via a power take off equipment. Such equipment can take multiple forms to be more efficient. Nevertheless, the technology alone cannot be the only step towards marine renewable energy. Many other steps must be overcome: policy, environment, manpower as well as consumption habits. After reviewing the current conditions of marine renewable energy development, the authors analyzed the key factors for developing a strong marine renewable energy industry and pointed out the huge potential of marine renewable energy.

The rapidly improving price-performance of wireless technologies is providing an unprecedented platform for the development of wireless applications for the business. Such applications are able to take advantage of a new paradigm of mobility for data services, with the ability to sensitize to location, time and personal features. While big business has been a central feature of wireless implementation, it is now clear that small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are beginning to take advantage of the strategic benefits of wireless data communications. This study examines the state-of-the-art of wireless data services in New Zealand. It provides a survey of 127 current applications in use, as well as two short illustrative cases of application use. The paper rounds off with a summary and conclusions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematic characteristics of the $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ hurdle clearances during the final of the 100-m hurdles event at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011. To this end, the hurdling motions of the top 4 ranked female hurdlers in the competition were analyzed. A total of 12 cameras were used to record their motions, with a sampling frequency of 120 Hz. The cameras were calibrated using $11{\times}2{\times}1\;m$ control objects that covered all of the lanes ($1^{st}{\sim}8^{th}$ lanes). After analyzing all the data, we arrived at the following results. For the take-off phase, a negative relationship between the take-off time (CT) and athlete's rank was found. In addition, the average distances from the hurdle to take-off (L1) were shown to be 2.23 m and 2.17 m for the $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ hurdles, respectively. For the distance from the hurdle to landing (L2), Pearson ($1^{st}$ rank) and Carruthers($2^{nd}$ rank) showed inconsistent patterns whereas Harper ($3^{rd}$ rank) and Porter ($4^{th}$ rank) showed consistent patterns. All althetes revealed similar 3 steps patterns between hurdles, which consisted of a shorter $1^{st}$ step, longer $2^{nd}$ step and shorter $3^{rd}$ step.

본 연구의 목적은 정착 길이, 표준 후크 및 이음 길이와 같은 관련 규정을 준수하면서 슬래브 철근의 정확한 절단 길이를 산출하는 자동화된 알고리즘을 제안하는 것이다. 제안된 알고리즘은 일반적으로 외주를 통해 수작업으로 진행하던 기존 철근 물량 산출 프로세스를 개선하는 것을 목표로 한다. 입찰 단계부터 정확한 철근 수량 데이터를 BBS(Bar Bending Schedule) 수준으로 제공함으로써 물량 산출의 불확실성을 제거하고 외부 의존도를 낮출 수 있다. 또한, 알고리즘을 통해 정확한 물량을 조기에 산출하는 경우 건설사는 경쟁력 있고 최적화된 입찰을 미리 준비할 수 있어 계약 협상 시 이익률을 높일 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 견적, 예산, BBS 생성 등 다양한 프로세스에서 중복되는 업무를 간소화할 뿐만 아니라 계약 후 구조 도면 변경에도 유연하게 대처할 수 있다. 특히, 제안된 알고리즘을 BIM과 결합하는 경우 시공 초기 단계에서 BIM을 적용할 때 발생하는 기술적 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, REVIT 기반 패밀리 파일로 구축된 알고리즘의 수식과 형상 코드는 실무에서 상당한 시간과 인력 절감에 기여한다.

A bucket-brigade is a way of transporting items where items are passed from one person to the next. The operation of the bucket brigade imitates the cooperative behavior of ants when brood, food or other resources are moved. Koo (2009) presented a bucket brigade-based assembly cell where each worker follows a simple rule: perform assembly operations on a product until the next worker downstream takes it over; then go back to the previous worker upstream to take over a new assembly job. In this way, the flow line is self-balanced without any predetermined job assignment. However, there are some productivity losses related to hand-off and blocking. This paper examines the hand-off and blocking losses and presents a new bucket brigade-based assembly cell where working areas for each assembler is restricted with the help of buffer interfaces. Simulation experiments are used to validate the performance of the new assembly system.
