In order to improve the hospital service quality, some hospitals try to reduce the outpatients' waiting time in the hospital. One of the dissatisfied service items at the hospital is the long waiting time to take the prescribed medicine. In most cases, the smaller the number of pharmacists, the longer could be the waiting time. The suggestion of criteria for optimal allocation of appropriate number of pharmacists must be very important to manage the hospital pharmacy. In this paper, we suggest the method to figure out appropriate number of pharmacists through the real situation study at the Sampling Medical Center Pharmacy. We present the simulation study results using the simulation package ARENA and the analysis of statistical distribution of the arriving prescriptions. The result of this research could be applied to the other service business to figure out the optimal allocation of available human resources and to do the job analysis for better service quality.

This study explores how to reconcile science and policy in the wind energy sector by providing a conceptual framework for better understanding evidence-based policymaking (EBPM). Regarding this framework, the core issue is to discover how knowledge is formed over time, and which factors affect this knowledge formation. Comparative cases of wind industry emergence in Spain and Britain are examined. This analysis shows that knowledge formation initially starts in the scientific arena in parallel with its formation in the practical, and is followed by political knowledge formation near the beginning of commercial projects. Regarding knowledge formation, three more comparisons are made between wind industry emergence in Spain and Britain: the different approaches to R&D projects, the different adoptions of supporting measures, and the different ways of coping with public opposition. The factors affecting the comparisons are mainly perceptions of energy supply, nuclear power, environment and science and technology. Communication and unfamiliarity are likely to affect the comparisons in EBPM.

Simulation plays a pivotal role in the analysis of complex systems. In this study, a job shop manufacturing system has been analyzed through DBR (Drum-buffer-rope) simulation. Specific attention has been put to examine the rate of due-date achievement. We first derived key factors affecting the system performance. We then developed ARENA simulation program based on DBR of TOC (Theory of Constraints) concepts. Based on the performance measure, factors, and experimental design, we obtained the results. We have drawn meaningful results through examination of the results. The results obtained from this study may provide a good base for practical applications.

The prime purpose of this study is to view traditional residential space not only as visual and figurative but also experiencing space from the perspective of aesthetics. This study points out that traditional residential space should be perceived as "true space" of connecting people, life and experience. Although it was not clearly defined as a visual entity, the value, phenomenon and experience of space materialized through conjecture and expectation are interpreted as the arena of aesthetics and philosophy. This study aims at drawing a conclusion that the characteristics of traditional residential space, which is perceived as experiencing space centered on objective and subjective human behaviors, makes a linkage to aesthetic elements.

Simulation modeling has become an extremely important approach to analyzing complex system. In recent years the number of people using simulation as problem-solving aid has increased. In this Paper, we developed a simulation model for analyzing the physical distribution system in ports. we used Arena 2.2 which is a kind of simulation software based common simulation language, SIMAN V. And then, we applied this model to kwangyang port(partially) and analyzed the effect of it upon port system in according to change of the quantity of goods transported.

The paper deals with problems connected with heating and ventilation of underground premises for public use. Some properties of rock and special problems connected with designing ventilation systems for underground spaces are first briefly discussed. The rest of the paper deals with design of ventilation and heating systems. The conclusion is that there are no large problems with heating and ventiliation of underground premises, but there are still problems connected with for instance thermal properties of rock when water flows in the cracks. An optimum design demands better knowledge of these properties.

ATM 망에서 제공되고 있는 음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 서비스는 사용자의 만족도를 수용할 수 있어야 한다는 것을 전제조건으로 한다. 이러한 기본적인 요구사항을 충족시키기 위해서는 노드대 노드간의 자원관리와 오류제어 및 다양한 트래픽의 특성을 고려한 전송 순서의 결정에 해당하는 스케줄링 방법이 요구되어 진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기술 요소 중에서 트래픽 설정 단계에서 제공되는 트래픽 특성 및 QoS(Quality of Service) 정보를 바탕으로 교환 노드에서 발생되는 전달 지연 시간에 적응적인 스케줄링 방식을 제시하였다. 이 방식은 멀티미디어 서비스와 같이 혼합된 트래픽 특성을 갖는 구조에서 트래픽 구성비율에 따라 적용되는 지연 여유치를 매우 융통성 있고 효과적으로 조절할 수 있다. 성능분석을 위하여 기존의 스케줄링 방식인 WFQ (Weighted Fair Queueing) 방식과 제안한 스케줄링 방식의 수학적인 분석을 수행하였으며 이 두 방식의 결과식을 비교하여 교환노드에서의 평균 지연과 셀 처리에 관한 성능을 분석하였다. 그리고 수학적 분석에 대한 검증으로는 Simulation tool ARENA 3.0을 이용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 Worst case와 기존의 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였다.

Both telecommunications standardization activities and an intellectual property rights (IPRs) system are regarded as effective mechanisms for improving social benefits. Because of inherent conflicts that exist between the two, however, serious problems are generated in the international arena where the competition for technology development and markets is becoming increasingly fierce. In this paper, ways of harmonizing the relationship between the two are explored and explained. For this purpose, telecommunications standardization and IPRs protection mechanisms are described, and their positive and negative effects as well as their inter-relationship are also analyzed. In addition, IPR case studies related to international standardization are explained and analyzed. The Current status and problems of IPRs policy of major international standardization organizations are analyzed as well. Finally, based on the results of the analyses, viable policy recommendations and research strategies for more comprehensive study of the above problems are proposed.

This paper discuss basic functional construction and plant layout of a ELV dismantling system that can maximize the reusability of tarts and the recoverability of materials by dismantling ELV rationally and efficiently. "Island" type was selected for the system configuration considering processing amount, economical efficiency, and effectiveness. The system is supported by the information system, and composed of dismantling stations and handling equipments. The layout of the stations was determined after simulation and optimization using commercial software package, Arena and OptQuest. The objective of the optimization was maximum profit while the system capacity is considered as constraint. The environmental load of ELV can be minimized when the composition and function of each station are embodied in detail and the system is interfaced with shredding operation.
