Recently the use of Pd catalyst have been continued to expand because of cost avaliabilityand performance advantages. Especially the Pd+Rh catalyst instead of the Pt+Rh catalyst had been used for most of three way catalysts because of the more stringent emission standards and its higher temperature effectiveness. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the design parameter impacts on the Pd+Rh cat-alyst for the automotive exhaust catalysts application. This study was investigated on the catalyst efficiency for the volume and the precious metal loading of the Pd+Rh ceramic monolithic cata-lyst. And experiments concerning the effects of volume and precious metal loading on Pd+Rh three way catalysts were conducted to examined the catalyst light-off temperature and conver-sion efficiency on higher volume demonstrated almost similar performance. But their effects on higher precious metal loading demonstrated considerably better performance.

구조 형식이나 공법의 선정, 유지보수 시기, 보수방법의 결정 등의 의사 결정에서 수명주기비용(life cycle cost, LCC)의 평가가 중요하다. 철도 궤도구조의 경우 초기시공비 뿐 아니라 유지보수비가 총 비용의 상당 부분을 차지하고, 특히 자갈궤도일수록 그 비율은 더욱 높으므로 수명주기비용 평가의 필요성이 더욱 높다. 이 연구에서는 궤도 구조 형식, 연간 통행량, 축중, 열차 속도, 곡선 비율, 구조물(교량, 터널) 비율 등 다양한 설계변수를 고려할 수 있는 LCC 산정 모델을 개발하고, 각 비용의 산정에 필요한 기초 자료를 제시하였으며 구축된 모델과 자료를 바탕으로 주요 설계변수에 따른 고속철도 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도 LCC의 변화 경향을 분석하고, 이로부터 궤도 LCC 분석에 있어서의 고려해야 할 주요 변수를 검토하였다. 검토 결과 자갈궤도는 교체 및 운영 비용의 비중이 콘크리트궤도에 비해 현저히 높았으며, 연간 통행량과 자갈 탬핑 주기가 자갈궤도의 LCC에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 콘크리트궤도는 초기 시공비의 비중이 현저히 높았고, 연간 통행량이나 열차속도, 축중 등에 상대적으로 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 나타났다.

Rainwater harvesting systems (RWHS), one of measures for on site rainwater management, have been promoted by laws, regulations and guidelines and have been increased. However, more evaluation of economic feasibility on RWHS is still needed due to seasonal imbalance of rainfall and little experiences and analysis on design and operation of RWHS. In this study, we investigated tank capacity of RWHS to secure economic validity considering catchment area and water demand, which is affected by building scale. Moreover, sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the effect of design factors, cost items and increase rate of water service charge on economic feasibility. The BCR (benefit cost ratio) is proportional to the increase in tank capacity. It is increased steeply in small tank capacity due to the effect of cost and, since then, gently in middle and large tank capacity. In case of 0.05 in the rate of tank volume to catchment area and 0.005 in water demand to catchment area, BCR was over one from the tank capacity of 160 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private benefits and from the tank capacity of 100 $m^{3}$ taking into account of private and public benefits. Sensitivity analysis shows that increase of water demand can improve BCR values with little cost so that it is needed to extend application of rainwater use and select a proper range of design factor. Decrease of construction and maintenance cost reduced the tank volume to secure economic validity. Finally, increase rate of water service charge had considerable impact on economic feasibility.

본 연구는 우리나라에 도입된 오스트리아 Koller사의 K301-4와 우리나라에서 개발된 HAM300 타워야더의 전간집재작업에 대해서 작업시간을 측정하고, 작업생산성, 작업비용, 최적노망밀도에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 최대집재거리가 길어질수록 생산성은 감소되지만 K301-4와 HAM300을 비교하였을 때, 최대집재거리가 34 m 보다 길어질수록 K301-4의 생산성이 높았으며, 1회당 집재재적이 커질수록 양측의 차이는 커지는 것을 확인하였다. K301-4는 HAM300에 비해서 기계가격이 높고, 타워야더의 설치 및 철거 소요시간이 더 커지므로 HAM300이 작업비용 측면에서 효율적으로 나타났다. 타워야더를 도입하여 작업비용을 절감하기 위해서는 장기간에 걸쳐 임내노망을 반복적으로 사용하고 1회당 집재재적을 늘리는 것이 유리하다고 판단된다.

This study examined the economics of a solar water heating system for an office building using life cycle cost (LCC) optimization simulations. The numerical simulations were conducted with TRNSYS and GenOpt employing the Hooke-Jeeves algorithm. The solar collector area, slope, mass flow rate per collector area and storage tank volume were selected as the main design parameters of the solar water heating system. The LCC optimization simulations of the system were carried out for cases where water temperature was $60^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$. The results showed that for water temperature at $60^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ the collector area could be decreased by 17% and 28%, storage tank volume could be decreased by 49% and 54%, and mass flow rate per collector area increased by 5% and 9% respectively compared to a non-optimized system. The LCC of the system was reduced by 4% for $60^{\circ}C$ and 7% for $50^{\circ}C$. The initial installation cost of the system was reduced by 24% for $60^{\circ}C$ and 34% for $50^{\circ}C$. However, the operating cost of the system increased by 16% for $60^{\circ}C$ and 36% for $50^{\circ}C$ compared to a traditional solar water heating system.

The experiment was conducted with 144 broiler chicks from day-old to 5 weeks of age to investigate the efficacy of a water additive in broiler production. The chicks were randomly distributed into four different treatments namely T1 (control), T2 (water additive as per recommendation level), T3 (25% less than recommendation) and T4 (25% more than recommendation). Body weight of control group was higher in 2nd week of age, but at the end of the experiment additive groups showed higher values compare to control (p<0.05). Body weight gain was increased and feed conversion ratio was improved in the additives groups during the finishing and total period, although feed intake was different among the additive groups (p<0.05). When the hematological parameters were evaluated, packed cell volume and total erythrocytes counts were increased in the additive group that received 25% more than recommendation, and hemoglobin in 25% less than recommendation group. Mean cell volume and mean cell hemoglobin of the additive groups showed lower (p<0.05) values compare to the control, but other parameters were not affected. Sales price and profit were significantly higher in the additive groups compare to the control, although total production cost was increased in the additive groups (p<0.05). All levels of water additive increased profit in comparison with the control but 25% less than recommendation level appeared to be most profitable and cost effective. It also suggests that any additive considered for poultry, must undergo trial for determining efficacy as well as its cost effectiveness for application.

Since our physical world cannot be modeled as rigid body, deformable object models are important. For real-time simulation of elastic object, it must be guaranteed by its exact solution and low-latency computational cost. In this paper, we describe the boundary integral equation formulation of linear elastic body and related boundary element method(BEM). The deformation of elastic body can be effectively solved with 1ow run-time computational costs, using precomputed Green Function and fast low-rank updates based on Capacitance Matrix Algorithm.

Aspheric optical elements can provide an advantage in the design of optical system that require high performance and small size. The main disadvantage of high volume production of aspheric optical elements is very high cost. In this paper, we suggest new technology of high volume production process using replication process. The replication is a thin film of UV cured resin on a solid substrate blank(polymer substrate) with aspheric surface.

토목공사에서 토량 측정은 합리적인 공사비 산정에 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 이전까지 토목공사 현장의 정보를 얻기 위해서 GPS 또는 토탈스테이션을 이용하는 방법을 사용해 왔지만 이러한 방식은 접근이 어려운 지역에는 측정에 무리가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 무인항공기를 이용하여 토량을 측정하고자 한다. 경상북도 상주시에 위치한 농촌용수개발사업 저수지 공사현장을 연구대상지로 선정하였으며, GPS를 이용한 측량을 기준으로 하여 토탈스테이션 그리고 UAV를 이용한 측량의 정확도와 측정시간을 비교하는 연구를 진행하였다. GPS를 이용하여 취득한 토량은 $147,286.79m^3$으로 나타났고, 토탈스테이션은 $141,594.07m^3$으로 GPS를 이용하여 구한 토량을 기준으로 96.13% 정확도를 보였다. 그리고 UAV는 GCP를 측정하지 않고 진행하였을 때 $143,997.05m^3$, GCP가 4개일때 $147,251.71m^3$ 그리고 GCP가 7개일 때 $146,963.81m^3$로 나타났고, 각각 GPS로 측량한 토량과 비교하여 97.77%, 99.98%, 99.78%의 정확도를 보였다. 이를 통하여 UAV를 이용한 토량 산정을 실제 현장에서 사용할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The managerial environment of hospitals in Korea characterized by low levels of medical insurance fees is worsening by increasing government regulations as to the utilization of medical services, rising costs of labor, material, and medical equipments, growing patient expectations concerning the quality of services, and escalating competitions among large hospitals in the market. Hospitals should seek for their survival strategies in this harsh environment and they should have information about costs of their products in doing so. However, it has not been available due to the complexity of the production process of hospital services. The objectives of this study were to develop a service-based cost accounting model and to apply the developed model to a study hospital to obtain cost information of hospital services. A model commonly used for the job-order product cost accounting in the manufacturing industry was modified for the use in hospitals in Korea. Actual costs, instead of standard costs, incurred to produce a unit of services during a given period of time were estimated in the model. Data required to implement the model included financial information, statistics for the allocation of supportive cost center costs to final cost centers, statistics for the allocation of final cost center costs to services, and the volume of each services charged to patients during a study period. The model was executed using data of a university teaching hospital located in Seoul for the fiscal year 1992. Data for financial information, allocation statistics fo supportive service costs, and the volume of services, most of them in electronic form, were available to the study. Data for allocation statistics of final cost center costs were collected in the study. There were 15 types of evaluation and management service, 2, 923 types of technical service, and 2, 608 types of drug and material service charged to patients in the study hospital during the fiscal year 1992. Labor costs of each of seven types of pesonnel, material costs of 611 types of drugs and materials, and depreciation costs of 212 types of medical equipments, miscellaneous costs, and indirect costs incurred in producing a unit of each services were estimated. Medical insurance fees for basic services such as evaluation and management of inpatients and outpatients, injection, and filling prescriptions, and for operating procedures were found to be set lower than costs. Infrequent services which use expensive medical equipments showed negative revenuse as well. On the other hand, fees for services not covered by the insurance such as CT, MRI and Sonogram, and for laboratory tests were higher than costs. This study has a significance in making it possible for a hospital to obtain cost information for all types of services which produced income based on all types of expenses incurred during a given period of time. This information can assist the management of a hospital in finding an effective cost reduction strategy, an efficient service-mix strategy under a given fee structure, and an optimum strategy for within-hospital resource allocations.
