The prediction of quality characteristics during the design phase of a construction project was fragmented, because no particular method exists. One of the most important key responses is the total displacements (horizontal and vertical). A brainstorming session produces the quality parameters i.e. the control factors which here are identified as: the steel joint, the pile's length, the excavation depth and angle, the distance between the piles, the anchor stretch and length to name just some of the most engaging in the design. The purpose of this study is to optimise these parameters to minimize the total displacements following a methodology based on Taguchi method. For this reason, a 2-level, L₈ orthogonal array has been employed to organize the experimentation. Data is obtained from a real-life excavation project designed on the Plaxis v.8 CAE package. Taguchi analysis is performed in the statistical package Minitab.

In this paper, the FMM(Fast Multipole Method) combined with GMRES(Generalized Minimal RESidual Method) matrix solver is used to extract the parasitic impedance for complicated 3-D structures in uniform dielectric materials which limit the use of MoM(Method of Moment) due to its large computation time and memory requirement. This algorithm is a fast multipole-accelerated method based on quasistatic analysis and is very efficient for computing impedance between conductors. This paper proved the accuracy and efficiency of the FMM by comparing with MoM in simple examples. Finally the parasitic impedance of FC-PGA(Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) Package pins has been extracted by this algorithm and we have considered the possibility of the EMI/EMC problem caused by the signal interference.

The objective of this research is to explore a more precise forecasting method by applying Case-based Reasoning (CBR). The newly suggested method in this study enables project managers to forecast monthly expenditures with less time and effort by retrieving and referring only projects of a similar nature, while filtering out irrelevant cases included in database. For the purpose of accurate forecasting, 1) the choice of the numbers of referring projects and 2) the better selection among three levels ? which include a 20-work package level, a 7-major work package level, and a total sum level analysis, were investigated in detail. It is concluded that selecting similar projects at $12{\sim}19%$ out of the whole database will produce a more precise forecasting. The new forecasting model, which suggests the predicted values based on previous projects, is more than just a forecasting methodology; it provides a bridge that enables current data collection techniques to be used within the context of the accumulated information. This will eventually help all the participants in the construction industry to build up the knowledge derived from invaluable experience.

As the Transportation Simplex Method of the general transportation problem are inapplicable to the large-scale unbalanced transportation problem, a commercialized linear programming package remains as the only viable means. There is, however, no method made available to verify the optimality of solutions attained by the package. This paper therefore proposes a simple heuristic algorithm to the large-scale unbalanced transportation problem. From a given problem of $31{\times}15$supply and demand areas, the proposed algorithm determines the number of demands areas for each supply area and executes on the latter in the ascending order of each of their corresponding demand areas. Next, given a single corresponding demand area, it supplies the full demand volume and else, it supplies first to an area of minimum associated costs and subsequently to the rest so as to meet the demand to the fullest extent. This initial optimal value is then optimized through an adjustment process whereby costs are minimized as much as possible. When tested on the $31{\times}15$cost matrix, the proposed algorithm has obtained an optimal result improved from the commercial linear programming package by 8.9%.

Since microgravity survey aims to delineate subsurface density structures in small scale, it requires inversion method, which is able to resolve small scale structures. It can be achieved by adopting a stabilizing functional which separates density boundary distinctly, which is different concept from general inversion routines. We composed Matlab-based interactive two-dimensional microgravity data inversion package containing several kinds of inversion routines with different stabilizing functional, for handling various geologic conditions and survey purposes. Different kinds of inversion routines in the package were verified and examined with representative synthetic data sets generated by numerical modeling. In addition, we applied the developed package to a real microgravity survey data.

In this paper, the characteristics analysis of the eddy current sensor by using boundary element method package is presented. For the boundary element analysis. Faraday, which is the commercial package of the integrated engineering software, is used. To observe the impedance characteristic of the eddy current senor with the sensor position and lift-off, the eddy current testing analysis is performed on the ferromagnetic plate with defect. Considering the skin depth of the ferromagnetic specimen, the 800(Hz) driving source is chosen. The result shows that electro motive force is reduced as the probe moves to near the defect and the lift-off of the probe increases.

In this paper, we proposed the 2-dimensional inspection algorithm for micro-BGA(Ball Grid Array) device using a vision system. The proposed method uses the subpixel algorithm for high precision. The proposed algorithm preferentially extracts the package area of device in the input image. After the extraction of package area, each ball areas are extracted by ball search window method. The parameters for inspection are calculated for the extracted ball area. In the simulation results, we have the average error within $17{\mu}m$.

It become more difficult to anticipate the performance of fluid power systems as the number of components increases because of nonlinearrities inherent in hydraulic components. In this situation, the computer simulation technique can be an effective tool in the analysis and design of fluid power systems. In this paper, simulation results are presented for dynamic characteriatics of a knuckle crane. Simple models for hydraulic components and relatively detailed motion equations for attachments are used. the simulation reaults are very close to those of experiments. The simulation is performed using a simulation package developed with object-oriented method. This package provides the encironment that user can construct desirct desired circuits form the component library, checks the continuity and compatibility conditions automatically and executes simulation

Condensation particle counter (CPC) has been one of the most important basic instrument for measuring number concentration of submicron aerosols. The principle of the CPC is to expose aerosols to a supersaturated vapor and cool down which causes adiabatic expansion. The particles grow by heterogenous nucleation to a sufficient size for easy detection by optical method. However, for growth by condensation, CPC essentially needs both saturater and condensor causing a heavy system. Therefore, it is hard to install commercial CPC to tethered balloon package system. In this study, we developed customized CPC for tethered balloon package system called Hy-CPC which is lighter and smaller in structure than commercial CPCs, and evaluated activation efficiency and detection efficiency by Hy-CPC using electrostatic method (electrometer and Faraday cup).

A new stochastic Petri nets model, called Stochastic Petri Nets Reward Model(SPNRM) is used for modeling and evaluating the performance of telecommunication protocols. We have developed a SPNRM of the TDX-10 Internal protocol, which has a packet data exchange facility between DCEs, Especially a timer and retransmission handling model is presented for error control of the data transmission phase. The stochastic Petri nets package(SPNP), a software package for SPNRM used in this paper, has been used to generate numerical results by analytical-numerical method rather than simulation. From the steady state solution of the net, it is possible to calculate automatically the performance measure of the protocol medeled with both end-to-end and link-by-link method, which are the mean response times and the throughputs.
