In this paper, we analyze inductive interference in conductive material around 345 kV power transmission line, and evaluate the effects of mitigation wires. Finite element method (FEM) is used to numerically compute induced eddy currents as well as magnetic fields around powder transmission lines. In the analysis model, geometries and electrical properties of various elements such as power transmission line, buried pipe lines, overhead ground wire, and conducting earth are taken into accounts. The calculation shows that mitigation wire reduces fairly good amount of eddy currents in buried pipe line. To find the optimum magnetic field shielding location of mitigation wire, we applied evolution strategy algorithm, a kind of stochastic approach, to the analysis model. Finally, it was shown that we can find more effective shielding effects with optimum location of one mitigation wire than with arbitrary location of multi-mitigation wires around the buried pipe lines.

According to the environment change of market, supply chain network needs to be redesigned for efficient provision of product within the budget constraint. Also, it is desired that the customer satisfaction such as on time delivery should be considered as an important element at redesigning of supply chain network in addition to the cost reduction. In this paper redesign of supply chain network for its expansion is treated as a problem situation and a related mathematical model is suggested. Moreover, the numerical examples about the total weighted distance of the redesigned supply chain network are presented with various budget constraints by using genetic algorithm to help the managerial decision.

A data warehouse is not an operational database, only a database for decision support. It is defied as "a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant and non-volatile collection of data". It is an indispensable element of successful information processing technology. This study is designed to suggest a better way to use database for efficient Port Authority's management. It is expected to play a significant role in introducing a data warehouse dedicated to port industry. Data warehouses are to serve as an opportunity to be fully exploited as a strategic technology for ports. Seven subject areas supporting ideas of researchers constitute this study.

Periodic safety reviews (PSRs) are conducted on operating nuclear power plants (NPPs) and have been mandated also for research reactors in Korea, in response to the Fukushima accident. One safety review tool, the probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), aims to identify weaknesses in the design and operation of the research reactor, and to evaluate and compare possible safety improvements. However, the PSA for research reactors is difficult due to scarce data availability. An important element in the analysis of research reactors is the reactor protection system (RPS), with its functionality and importance. In this view, we consider that of the AGN-201K, a zero-power reactor without forced decay heat removal systems, to demonstrate a risk-informed safety improvement study. By incorporating risk- and safety-significance importance measures, and sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, the proposed method identifies critical components in the RPS reliability model, systematically proposes potential safety improvements and ranks them to assist in the decision-making process.

Recently, the precision required by precision manufacturing and machinery related to electronics is within the domain of submicron that it is difficult to evaluate them by traditional measuring equipments and methods. Accordingly, precision of sub 0.1.mu.m super precise position-decision-apparatus and straight-guide air bearing have been researched and they are almost ready to be used. In utilizing straight-guide-table for super-precision-measurement which used externally pressurized porous air bearing as a way of externally pressurized air bearing, the high-precision-straight movement is the most crucial. In this study, the researcher conducted the experimental study with trial manufacture to see how the surrounding temperature and support condition influenced the selection and allocation of the machine composing element which is important to the high-precision-straight movement. The researcher finding showed that when the property of the rail part and support part of the semi-closed slider form is different, the heat generation of the working motor and surrounding temperature influence the high-precision-straight movement significantly and the researcher showed the influence of the condition of central load and eccentric load to the straight movement precision when the support stand of the straight-table was supported by numerical values.

Information is known to be a key element for the successful operation of a supply chain, which is required of the efficient ordering strategies and accurate predictions of demands. This study proposes a method to effectively utilize the meteorological forecast information in order to make decisions about ordering and prediction of demands by using the Taguchi experimental design. It is supposed that each echelon in a supply chain determines the order quantity with the prediction of precipitation in the next day based on probability forecast information. The precipitation event is predicted when the probability of the precipitation exceeds a chosen threshold. Accordingly, the choice of the threshold affect the performances of a supply chain. The Taguchi method is adopted to deduce a set of thresholds for echelons which is least sensitive to changes in environmental conditions, such as variability of demand distributions and production periods. A simulation of the beer distribution game was conducted to show that the set of thresholds found by the Taguchi method can reduce the cumulative chain cost, which consists of inventory and backlog costs.

The rate of fixation of the components were evaluated in CCA-Type B and CCFZ-treated radiata pine sapwood by quantitative analysis of solution expressed from the treated wood. The leaching characteristics of radiata pine blocks treated with CCA-Type B and CCFZ were also evaluated by the AWPA standard leaching test. Both fixation and leaching charactersistics of CCA-Type B were compared with CCA-Type C treated wood samples. The rate of CCA-Type B fixation was a little faster than that of CCFZ. However, significant amounts of arsenic was unfixed in the CCA-Type B treated samples and consequently leached. These significant quantities of arsenic liberated from the CCA-Type B treated wood during service may pose some environmental concerns. Arsenic was no longer detectable from CCA-Type C treated samples when fixation was complete, even though the fixation of CCA-Type C was slower in some degree than CCA-Type B. In summary, it could be said that CCFZ was much safer preservative than CCA-Type B by the criterion based on the relative hazard assessed by absolute amount of unfixed element present in the treated wood. Also the decision that CCA preservative has to move from Type B to Type C should be made sooner or later for continuous use of CCA preservative in the future.

In this study, the evaluation criteria of performance and applicability is developed to rank the combinatorial technologies for SWG (Smart Water Grid) system using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. Security, safety, solution, suitability and sustainability which are goals of SWG technology, are used as upper level hierarchy elements. And three detailed elements for each upper level hierarchy are adopted as the lower level hierarchy. The weighted value which represents the importance of each element, could be determined through questionnaires accomplished by groups of specialists who are engaged in relevant waster industry and research area. To assess the accuracy of the evaluation criteria developed in this study, a simulation on four decision alternatives for smart water grid was carried out as an evaluation. Consequently which showed 90 % of accuracy.
