Maximizing the profitability and minimizing the duration of construction projects in extreme weather regions is a challenging objective that is essential for project success. An optimization model is presented herein for the time-profit trade-off analysis of construction projects under extreme weather conditions. The model generates optimal/near optimal schedules that maximize profit and minimize the duration of construction projects in extreme weather regions. The computations in the model are organized into: (1) a scheduling module that develops practical schedules for construction projects, (2) a profit module that computes project costs (direct, indirect, and total) and project profit, and (3) a multi-objective module that determines optimal/near optimal trade-offs between project duration and profit. One example is used to show the impact of extreme weather on construction time and profit. Another example is used to show the model's ability to generate optimal trade-offs between the time and profit of construction projects under extreme weather conditions.

프로젝트 초기단계에 공기산정이 적절히 이루어져야만 프로젝트 진행과정에서 인력, 자재, 장비 등을 효율적으로 이용할 수 있으며 자금을 적절하게 배분할 수 있다. 그러나 아직 국내에서는 기준으로 삼을 만한 공기산정 기준이 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 현재의 불명확한 공기산정방식을 개선함으로써 프로젝트 초기단계에서 적정공기를 예측하고 타당한 공정계획을 수립할 수 있도록 합리적이고 체계적인 공기 산정기준을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 기존 산정기준의 비교 분석을 통하여 개선방향을 도출하고, 현장기술자들과의 면담조사, 현장실험, 기존 연구자료 등을 활용하여 적정공기 산정기준을 제시하였다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review articles in order to establish optimal contraction intensity and duration in the performance of relaxation techniques for maximal increase in range of motion. Methods: The Cochrane, EBSCO, Embase, Medline, ProQuest, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases were used to search articles from 1990 to January 2016. The search terms were "contract relax," "hold relax," "muscle energy technique (MET)," and "proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching." Only experimental human studies (randomized controlled trials) that compared the effects of varying intensity and duration of isometric contraction were included. Non-English language and unpublished studies were excluded. Results: A total of 2,156 articles were initially identified, with only five eventually meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Three studies compared the effects of varying intensity in isometric contraction and two studies compared the effects of varying duration in isometric contraction with regard to range of motion (ROM). Two articles suggested that submaximal voluntary isometric contraction was more effective than maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) in the improvement of ROM. One article showed that a longer contraction time led to greater increases in ROM. Conclusion: Submaximal voluntary isometric contraction was recommended during contract-relax exercises in healthy people. Lack of evidence makes it difficult to suggest the optimal duration of isometric contraction during relaxation techniques. For future research, high-quality evidence will be needed to establish the optimal contraction intensity for maximum improvement of ROM.

본 논문에서는 현실적으로 실업보험급여가 수급기간별로 차등지급되기 어렵다는 전제하에 가장 바람직한 실업급여체계가 어떠한 것인가를 분석하고 있다. 특히 법정수급기간과 소득대체율이 실업자들의 구직유인과 소득안정에 대해 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 이에 따라 사회후생을 극대화시킬 수 있는 법정 수급기간 및 소득대체율의 조합을 분석하고 있다. 아울러 본 모형을 통해 적정 실업급여체계를 결정하는 여러 가지 요인들을 도출하고, 그에 의거하여 앞으로 우리나라의 고용보험제도의 개혁 방향을 제시하고 있다.

Optimal routing of distribution networks can be attained by keeping the line power capacity limit to handle load requirements, acceptable voltage at customer loads, and the reliability indices such as SAIFI, SAIDI, CAIDI, and ASAI limits. This method is composed of optimal loss reduction and optimal reliability cost reduction. The former is solved relating to the conductor resistance of all alternative routes, and the latter is solved relating to the failure rate and duration of each alternative route. The routing considering optimal loss only and both optimal loss and optimal reliability cost are compared in this paper. The case studies with 10 and 24 bus distribution networks showed that reliability cost should be considered as well as loss reduction to achieve the optimal routing in the distribution networks.

The performances of two commonly used feature detectors for wireless energy-harvesting cognitive radio systems are compared with the energy detector under energy causality and collision constraints. The optimal sensing duration is obtained by analyzing the effect of the detection threshold on the average throughput and collision probability. Numerical examples show that the covariance detector has the optimal sensing duration depending on an appropriate choice of the detection threshold, but no optimal sensing duration exists for the ratio of average energy to minimum eigenvalue detector.

Restaurants have two strategic levers for revenue management: duration control and demand-based pricing. Reducing dining times, especially during peak periods, can add considerable revenue for restaurants. Managing meal duration, however, can be far more complex than manipulating the price. This paper examines dining duration expectations for restaurants types(Family, Korean, Quick service restaurant), customers characteristics(gender, age, occupation, meal period, visiting frequency, dining occasion, dining companions) using an a adaptation of a price sensitivity measurement tool, naming it 'Time Sensitivity measurement tool' or TSM. The TSM is then used to derive the optimal time points, and the range of acceptable times. The results demonstrate that there is a relatively wide spread of acceptable dining duration times in family restaurant. Furthermore, the optimal time points was shorter than the mean expected dining times, which suggests that many restaurants may be able to shorten dining duration without compromising customer satisfaction. The paper explores whether demographic and dining variables have an impact on time preferences, and finds whether gender, age, meal periods, visiting frequency, and dining companion effects are significant. Specifically, women in their thirties tended to prefer a significantly longer dining times for dinner.

프로젝트의 계획단계에서 명확한 업무의 정의와 업무간의 상관관계, 자원계획 및 일정계획이 수행되지 않으면, 공사의 진행 시에 많은 변경과 일정 $\cdot$ 비용 상의 문제를 가져올 수 있다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 사례연구를 중심으로 프로젝트 계획단계에서 최적의 소요공기 산정을 위해서 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션과 선형계획법을 적용한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 사용함으로써 각각의 활동이 독립적이고, 프로젝트 소요시간에 대해서 정규분포를 따른다는 가정의 제약조건을 해소함으로 보다 신뢰한 만한 일정 추정이 가능하였으며, 주 경로와 주 경로에 근접한 경로에 신뢰할 만한 일정편차를 계산할 수 있었다. 또한, 선형계획법을 동해서 최적의 소요비용 산정이 가능하였으며, 프로젝트 목표소요공기의 변동에 따른 최적의 목표공기를 산정할 수 있었다.

As a construction project is recently becoming large-scaled and complex, construction process plan and management for successful performance of a construction project has become more important. Especially a reasonable estimation plan of activity duration is required because the activity duration is directly related to the determination of the entire project duration and budget. However, the activity duration is used to estimate by the experience of a construction manager and past construction records. Furthermore, the prediction of activity duration is more difficult because there is some uncertainty caused by various influencing factors in a construction project. This study suggests an estimation model of construction activity duration using neural network theory for a more systematic and objective estimation of each activity duration. Because suggested model estimates the activity duration by a reasonable schedule plan, it is expected to reduce the error between planning duration and actual duration in a construction project. And it can be a more systematic estimation method of activity duration comparing to the estimation method by experience of project manager.

Construction project consists of several stages such as planning, design, construction, operation/maintain, etc. Decisions made in the planning and design stage have a significant impact on the construction and operation/maintain stages. Identifying key resources contributing to duration and cost of design alternatives is an important measure to achieve effective coordination between design and construction. This study proposes a method which finds an optimal design alternative by taking into account of resource planning, expected duration, and cost in construction stage. Base on literature review relative to the assessment of design alternatives, a method which predicts required resources, duration, and cost of the design alternative is established. Then, a method that identifies an optimal design alternative based on the preference of a certain project criteria is developed. Finally, a case study is presented.
