This paper descrives the computational algorithm for determination of system characteristic constants using diakoptic method. When the system charateristic contants of large scale power system are calculated by using sensitivity matrix method which requires the inversion of Jacobian matrix, the necessary computing time and memory requirements increase very largely. Diakoptic mothods is benefit to get around these problems, and it is applied to a model system compared with the integrated method to discuss the efficiency of the algorithm.

The resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) system with angular reflectron type time-of-flight mass spectrometer (AREF-TOFMS) has been developed and characterized. The system is applied for the ultratrace determination of Pb element. The 2-color 3-photon laser ionization scheme is adopted for the study and the mass resolution of the system is determined as T/ΔT=1680. The calibration curve for Pb is obtained in the range of 100 ppb to 0.01 ppb by using standard solutions. The minimal amount of detection for the present RIMS system is determined as less than 100 femtograms (10-13 gram).

The grinding operation is an important machining process for machining of final surface. However, grinding process has inevitable troubles such as loading and glazing for grinding wheel. It is, therefore, an essential research theme to determine the wheel life and the dressing time for efficient grinding. In this study, AE signals (AEavg) generated in the grinding operation were measured and the dressing time was determined from the analysis of the AEavg value. To verify the propriety of the obtained result, the AE signals measured on the grinding and the dressing operation were compared with the grinding force signals and the dressing force which were measured at same time. From the obtained result, it was confirmed that the determination of the wheel life and the dressing tilde by the AE measurement technique proposed in this study can be practically used.

Damping ratio and frequency have influence on dynamic serviceability or instability such as vortex-induced vibration and displacement amplification due to earthquake and critical flutter velocity, and it is thus important to make determination of damping ratio and frequency accurate. As bridges are getting longer, small scale model test considering similitude law must be conducted to evaluate damping ratio and frequency. Analysis conditions modified by similitude law are applied to experimental test considering different scale ratios. Generally, Nyquist frequency condition based on natural frequency modified by similitude law has been used to determine sampling rate for different scale ratios, and total time length has been determined by users arbitrarily or by considering similitude law with respect to time for different scale ratios. However, Nyquist frequency condition is not suitable for multimode system with noisy signals. In addition, there is no specified criteria for determination of total time length. Those analysis conditions severely affect accuracy of damping ratio. The focus of this study is made on the determination of minimum analysis conditions for different scale ratios. Influence of signal to noise ratio is studied according to the level of noise level. Free initial value problem is proposed to resolve the condition that is difficult to know original initial value for free vibration. Ambient and free vibration tests were used to analyze the dynamic properties of a system using data collected from tests with a two degree-of-freedom section model and performed on full bridge 3D models of cable stayed bridges. The free decay is estimated with the stochastic subspace identification method that uses displacement data to measure damping ratios under noisy conditions, and the iterative least squares method that adopts low pass filtering and fourth order central differencing. Reasonable results were yielded in numerical and experimental tests.

A practical methodology for the determination of derived intervention levels (DILs) on relocation following an accidental release of radionuclides was designed based on dose rate on the ground. The influence of DILs was investigated with respect to the change of parameter values, which are dependent on socio-environmental characteristics in distinction from temporary and permanent relocations. The DILs on relocation showed a distinct difference depending on effective removal half-life of radionuclides following a deposition, delay time in measurement and residential characteristics. In particular, the delay time. In measurement was an important factor in determination of DILs in the case of an assumption that dose rate on the ground declines in a power function, not in an exponential function. The DILs showed lower numerical values as longer effective half-life, longer delay time In measurement and longer exposure time.

In this paper, a real-time on-board orbit determination algorithm using the high precise orbit propagator is suggested and its performance is analyzed. Orbit determination algorithm is designed with the Extended Kalman Filter. And it utilizes the orbit calculated from the Pseudo-range as observed data. The performance of the on-board orbit determination method implemented in the GPS-12 receiver is demonstrated using the GNSS simulator. Orbit determination performance using high precise orbit propagator was analyzed in comparison to the orbit determination result using $J_2$ orbit propagator. The analysis result showed that position and velocity error are improved from 43.61 m($3{\sigma}$) to 23.86 m($3{\sigma}$) and from 0.159 m/s($3{\sigma}$) to 0.044 m/s($3{\sigma}$) respectively.

The slab analogy method was introduced in the 1920's for the first time as a new experimental stress analysis method. Notwithstanding its theoretical propriety, this method has not been recognized as efficient one because of its difficulty in practical measurement of the slab curvature. In this paper, aiming at experimental determination of two-dimensional stress intensity factors(S. I. F) of arbitrarily shaped cracks which had been regarded as almost impossible by conventional method, the slab analogy was reevaluated. Measuring of slab curvature was replaced by three simple measuring factors to overcome vital slab-analogy's shortcoming by joint use of the shadow-moire method. A determination formula was also derived from the theory of fracture mechanics. By this newly exploited method, it was found that the slab analogy still has its great advantage in determination of S.I.F. of arbitrarily shaped cracks with considerable accuracy compared with existent experimental methods.

Proper determination of pacing threshold is important for patient safety and pacemaker longevity. In general, cardiac muscle contractions caused by pacing pulses are verified by observing the morphology of surface ECG displayed on a monitor. In this study, a method of automatic pacing threshold determination based on morphological difference between intrinsic and paced ECGs was developed. First, characteristics of intrinsic ECG and paced ECG were analyzed in time and frequency domain and a proper discrimination parameter was extracted. Then, the automatic capture verification method based on the parameter was developed and applied to 23 pacemaker patients. The selected parameter was the area of ventricular depolarization wave during 80ms after pacing stimulus. It was found that the method was reliable and effective in identifying paced ECG and, thereby, determing a proper pacing threshold.

A method is presented of dynamic determination of mode transition probability for IMM in order to improve the accuracy performance of maneuvering target tracking for air traffic control surveillance processing system under multiple radar environment. It is shown that dynamic determination of mode transition probability based on the time intervals between the data input from multiple radars gives the optimized performance in terms of position estimation accuracy.
