"Attention" is not defined sufficiently. This term incorporates several dimensions or complex information processes such as alertness, spatial distribution, focused attention, sustained attention, divided attention and supervisory attentional control. In practice, however, various aspects of attention cannot be assessed separately with a single test. Moreover, a particular test is never assessing attention only, because the several intervening variables may influence the attentional component. Therefore, one can only assess a certain aspect of human behavior with special interest for its attentional component. This paper attempted to clarify various concepts of attention, reviewed signal detection theories with receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves, and listed practical methods for assessment of attention.

A random profile is the result of a process, the output of which is a function instead of a scalar or vector quantity. In the nature of these objects, two main dimensions of "functionality" and "randomness" can be recognized. Valuable researches have been conducted to present control charts for monitoring such processes in which a regression approach has been applied by focusing on "randomness" of profiles. Performing other statistical techniques such as hypothesis testing for different parameters, comparing parameters of two populations, ANOVA, DOE, etc. has been postponed thus far, because the "functional" nature of profiles is ignored. In this paper, first, some needed theorems are proven with an applied approach, so that be understandable for an engineer which is unfamiliar with advanced mathematical analysis. Then, as an application of that, a statistical test is designed for mean of continuous random profiles. Finally, using experimental operating characteristic curves obtained in computer simulation, it is demonstrated that the presented tests are properly able to recognize deviations in the null hypothesis.

The structure of engine and its interaction are investigated and the construction of mathematical model for the performance evaluation is presented and then simulated. The total system is classified as air-fuel inlet element, intake manifold, combustion, and engine dynamics and their control function are schematically evaluated. Because of the model structure with general engine function and computer simulation of the chosen engine, physical characteristics of the corresponding engine and the engine data of normal operation state are used. According to the study, it is possible to predict the mixture rate by by the difference in the mass of fuel and air into cylinder and to evaluate and trace dynamic characteristic of operation state under various operating condition. The model characteristic under the transient operating condition makes it possible to effectively evaluate the operation of actual engine through the result of simulation.

The Microsource has to supply high quality Power that has high reliability and high energy efficiency to Load according to operating type of Microgrid. The energy sources of microsource type have various dynamic characteristic and transient response corresponding to classes and application skill. This paper shows dynamic characteristic of Microgrid according to Energy Source of microsource type. This research has been carried out by detailed modelling of Microturbine system and Fuelcell system. All models are realized by EMTP/RV and simulated change of operating type and load increase within Microgrid of DC constant voltage inverter model and Microturbine, Fuelcell based Microsource.

This paper proposes a novel sensorless fault detection algorithm for a brushless DC(BLDC) motor drive system. This proposed method is configured without the additional sensor for fault detection and identification. The fault detection and identification are achieved by a simple algorithm using the operating characteristic of the BLDC motor. This proposed method can also be embedded into existing BLDC motor drive systems as a subroutine without excessive computational effort. The feasibility of a novel sensorless fault detection algorithm is validated in simulation.

This paper is a generalization of single- and two-level skip-lot sampling plans to n-level, which can considerably reduce inspection cost when the level of submitted quality is high. In every skipping inspection of the generalized sampling plan, not only skipping parameters but also inspection fractions can be freely choosed. The general formula of the operating characteristic function for the n-level skip-lot sampling plan is derived. Also the operating characteristic curves of a reference plan, two-level and three-level skip-lot sampling plans are compared.

Sensitivity and specificity are popular measures described by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. There are also two other measures such as the positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV); however, the PPV and NPV cannot be represented by the ROC curve. Based on the total operating characteristic (TOC) curve suggested by Pontius and Si (International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 97, 570-583, 2014), explanatory methods are proposed to geometrically describe the PPV and NPV by the TOC curve. It is found that the PPV can be regarded as the slope of the right-angled triangle connecting the origin to a certain point on the TOC curve, while 1 - NPV can be represented as the slope of the right-angled triangle connecting a certain point to the top right corner of the TOC curve. When the neutral zone exists, the PPV and 1-NPV can be described as the slopes of two other right-angled triangles of the TOC curve. Therefore, both the PPV and NPV can be estimated using the TOC curve, whether or not the neutral zone is present.

Even though digital control type high speed solenoid valve is a little inferior to analog control type servo valve and proportional control valve in performance, it is cheap and has secure performance against pollutant and simple control circuit. But high speed solenoid valve is hardly used for heavy machinery instead of servo valve or proportional control valve that is used in severe condition because the valve itself is small capacity and it shows wide dead zone during on-off control and chattering of hydraulic cylinder by chattering of pressure. It is desirable to use low-priced and strong pollutant resistant high speed solenoid valve for obtaining reliability of operation from severe working condition because it isn't necessary to acquire response characteristic of high frequency when we consider the characteristic of heavy machinery operation. In this study, PWM control algorithm for pilot pressure control of large capacity pilot operating valve will be used for precision position control of heavy machinery hydraulic cylinder. Not only cost reduction of main control valve but also high reliability of heavy machinery in severe condition can be obtained by using this pilot operating spool valve with high speed solenoid valve.

The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was developed to quantify the classification ability of marker values (covariates) on the response variable and has been extended to survival data with diverse missing data structure. When survival data is understood as binary data (status of being alive or dead) at each time point, the ROC curve expressed at every time point results in time-dependent ROC curve and time-dependent area under curve (AUC). In particular, a follow-up study brings the change of cohort and incomplete data structures such as censoring and competing risk. In this paper, we review time-dependent ROC estimators under several contexts and perform simulation to check the performance of each estimators. We analyzed a dementia dataset to compare the prognostic power of markers.

Operation of a microturbine was simulated on the basis of component characteristic parameters obtained from performance test. Characteristic parameters, such as compressor and turbine efficiencies, recuperator effectiveness as well as turbine inlet temperature, were obtained for a wide operation range. Component characteristics including performance maps and characteristic curves were generated using measured data. Based on the component characteristics, a simulation program was constructed and operation of the microturbine was simulated, and the simulated results were compared with the measured data to verify the program. Also, influence of variation in the power control scheme on the operating characteristic and performance of the engine was simulated. The simulation program can be used for predicting operation of both healthy and degraded engine conditions.
