In this paper we study the qualify of sequential coverage analysis under a scenario of distributed stochastic simulation known as MRIP(Multiple Replications In Parallel) in terms of the confidence intervals of coverage and the speedup. The estimator based in the F-distribution was applied to the sequential coverage analysis of steady-state means. in simulations of the $M/M/1/{\infty},\;M/D/I/{\infty}\;and\;M/H_{2}/1/{\infty}$ queueing systems on a single processor and multiple processors. By using multiple processors under the MRIP scenario, the time for collecting many replications needed in sequential coverage analysis is reduced. One can also easily collect more replications by executing it in distributed computers or clusters linked by a local area network.

The number of patients with cardiovascular diseases who experience an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are increasing among young adults as well as the aged population. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is vital in improving survival rates of OHCA victims. Survival rates of OHCA were shown to decline exponentially in time to defibrillation, yet studies in Korea are uncommon that captures the properties of their survival rates in examining optimal locations of AEDs. In this study, we worked on the maximal gradual coverage location problem (MGCLP) with exponential decay coverage function to decide on their optimal locations. The exponential decay coverage function mitigates the drawback of over-estimating survival rates of OHCA patients. It is expected that a more sophisticated facility location problem will be developed to identify the "emergent" characteristics of pedestrians who responds to the OHCA occurrence by incorporating random pedestrian locations and movement through simulation.

In this paper, we derive noninformative priors for the ratio of failure rates in exponential model. A class of priors is found by matching the coverage probabilities of one-sided Baysian credible interval with the corresponding frequentist coverage probabilities. And we prove that the noninformative prior matches the alternative coverage probabilities and is a HPD matching prior up to the second order. Finally, we provide simulated freqentist coverage probabilities under the derived noninformative prior for small samples.

This Paper is to find out a solution for the full-coverage algorithm requiring the real-time processing such as mobile home service robots and vacuum cleaner robots. Previous methods are used by adopting based grid approach method. They used lots of sensors, a high speed CPU, expensive ranger sensors and huge memory. Besides, most full-coverage algorithms should have a map before obstacle avoidance. However, if a robot able to recognize the tangent vector of obstacles, it is able to bring the same result with less sensors and simplified hardware. Therefore, this study suggests a topological based approach and a local obstacle voidance method using a few of PSD sensors and ultra sonic sensors. The simulation results are presented to prove its applicability.

In order to compute cloud coverage statistics over Asian region, an operational scheme for masking cloud-contaminated pixels in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) daytime data was developed, evaluated and presented. Dynamic thresholding was used with channell, 2 and 3 to automatically create a cloud mask for a single image. Then the IO-day cloud coverage imagery was generated over the whole Asian region along with cloud-free composite imagery. Finally the monthly based statistics were computed based on the derived cloud coverage imagery in terms of land cover and country. As a result, it was found that 20-day is required to acquire the cloud free data over the whole Asia using NOAA AVHRR. The to-day cloud coverage and cloud-free composite imagery derived in this research is available via the web-site http://webpanda.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/CloudCover/.

This paper describes an efficient path generation method for area coverage. Its applications include robots for de-mining, cleaning, painting, and so on. Our method is basically based on a divide and conquer strategy. We developed a novel cell decomposition algorithm that divides a given area into several cells. Each cell is covered by a robot motion that requires minimum time to cover the cell. Using this method, completeness and time efficiency of coverage are easily achieved. For the completeness of coverage in dynamic environments, we also propose a path following method that makes the robot cover missed areas as a result of the presence of unknown obstacles. The effectiveness of the method is verified using computer simulations.

Completer coverage path planning requires the robot path to cover every part of the workspace, which is an essential issue in cleaning robots and many other robotic applications such as vacuum robots and painter robots. In this paper, a novel Water Flowing Algorithm (WFA) is proposed for cleaning robots to complete coverage path planning in unknown environment without obstacles. The robot covers the whole workspace just like that water fills up a container. First the robot goes to the lowest point in the workspace just like water flows to the bottom of the container. At last the robot will come to highest point in the workspace just like water overflows from the container and simultaneously the robot has covered the whole workspace. The computer simulation results show that the proposed algorithm enable the robot to plan complete coverage paths.

This research is primarily intended to propose a new concept for aggregate control of impervious coverage using remote sensing and GIS. An empirical study for a case study site was conducted to demonstrate how a standard remote sensing and GIS technology can be used to assist in implementing the aggregate control for impervious coverage as intermediary between decision makers and scientists. Guidelines for a replicable methodology are presented to provide a strong theoretical basis for the standardization of factors involved in the aggregate control; the meaningful definition of land mosaic in terms of pervious areas, classification of pervious intensity, change detection for pervious areas. Detailed visual maps (e.g. estimation of impervious surface allowable) can be generated over large areas quickly and easily to increase the scientific and objective decision-making for the aggregate control. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to confirm the potential of remote sensing and GIS in the aggregate control for impervious coverage.

Methods : A research method was questionnaire survey by individually self-administration method. Results : It was indicated to agree to the national health insurance coverage of toothbrushing instruction in the better understanding and cooperation level with toothbrushing instruction, in case of carrying out toothbrushing instruction, and in the higher age group. Conclusions : There will be a need of allowing the national health insurance coverage to be formed in the direction at which the dental service providers and the dental service consumers can be satisfied, by being performed a comprehensive and sufficient research for this.
