Line balancing algorithm can be classified by two class, the analytical method and the heuristic method. In this thesis the study was focused on the determinstic line balancing model of the single model production assembly line balancing which is one of the heuristic method. The algorithm of Tonge, Kilbridge & Wester, Helgeson & Birnie which is using the analytical method was examined with one example. And then the algorithms were compared with using line balancing-efficiency, number of work station, standard deviation and range. The result showed that Helgeson & Birnie algorithm is the most convenient in use. A computer program was run in order to use Helgeson & algorithm more conveniently.

Recently, the blockchain technology, which can decentralize business ecosystems using secure transactions without trusted intermediaries, has been spotlighted. Full nodes play an important role in maintaining decentralization in that they independently verify transactions using their full historical transaction data. However, the storage requirement of a full node for storing historical data is continuously increasing, and thus, has become harder for users to run a full node due to the heavy price for storage costs. In this paper, we investigate research trends on reducing the costs of storing blockchain transaction data so that nodes with low storage requirements can be used in the blockchain network.

In offshore environment, an accurate estimation of a wave-structure interaction has been an important issue for safe and cost effective design of fixed and floating offshore structures exposed to a harsh environment. In this study, a wave-structure interaction around a circular column was investigated with regular waves. To simulate 3D two-phase flow, open source computational fluid dynamics libraries, called OpenFOAM, were used. Wave generation and absorption in the wave tank were activated by the relaxation method, which implemented in a source term. To validate the numerical methods, generated Stokes 2nd-order wave profiles were compared with the analytic solution with deep water condition. From the validation test, grid longitudinal and vertical sizes for wave length and amplitude were selected. The simulated wave run-up and wave loads on the circular column were studied and compared with existing experimental data.

The interaction of incident monochromiatic waves with N bottom-mounted porous circular cylinders is investigated in the frame of three-dimensional linear potential theory. The fluid domain is divided into N+l regions i.e. a single exterior region and N interior regions, and the diffraction potential in each fluid region is expressed by an eigenfunction expansion method (Williams and Li,2000). The analytic results show that the porous structure reduces both the wave forces and the run-up wave around the cylinder. To verify the developed model, the systematic model test with a line array of porous cylinders is conducted at the wave tank (30m$\times$7m$\times$1.5m). The analytic results are in good agreement with the experimental results within measured frequency range. It is concluded that the breakwater constructed with an array of porous circular cylinders shows the performance of an effective wave barrier together with the seawater-exchange effect and is considered to have vast potentials for the use of seawater-exchanging breakwater in the future.

Wireless sensor networks are sensing, computing and communication infrastructures that allow us to monitor, instrument, observe, and respond to phenomena in the harsh environment. Generally, the wireless sensor networks are composed of many deployed sensor nodes that were designed to be very cost-efficient in terms of production cost. For example, UC Berkeley's MICA motes have only 8-bit CPU, 4KB RAM, and 128KB FLASH memory space. Therefore, sensor operating systems that run on the sensor nodes should be able to operate efficiently in terms of the resource management. In this paper, we present a dynamic threads stack management scheme for space-constrained and multi-threaded sensor operating systems. In this scheme, the necessary stack space of each function is measured on compile-time. Then, the information is used to dynamically allocate and release each function's stack space on run-time. It was implemented in Nano-Qplus sensor operating system. Our experimental results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing fixed-size stack allocation mechanism.

In this paper, we propose an effective memory test environment, called a virtualized kernel, for 64bit multi-core computing environments. The term of effectiveness means that we can test all of the physical memory space, even the memory space occupied by the kernel itself, without rebooting. To obtain this capability, our virtualized kernel provides four mechanisms. The first is direct accessing to physical memory both in kernel and user mode, which allows applying various test patterns to any place of physical memory. The second is making kernel virtualized so that we can run two or more kernel image at the different location of physical memory. The third is isolating memory space used by different instances of virtualized kernel. The final is kernel hibernation, which enables the context switch between kernels. We have implemented the proposed virtualized kernel by modifying the latest Linux kernel 2.6.18 running on Intel Xeon system that has two 64bit dual-core CPUs with hyper-threading technology and 2GB main memory. Experimental results have shown that the two instances of virtualized kernel run at the different location of physical memory and the kernel hibernation works well as we have designed. As the results, the every place of physical memory can be tested without rebooting.

The effects of the calculation method of surface runoff on the estimation of flood in urban drainage basin were analyzed in this study. In comparing with surface runoff methods. RUNOFF, ILLUDAS, SBUH and RRL were investigated. To route the flow in sewer/conduits EXTRAN was applied. The Kings Creek and Gray Haven drainage basin's measured data of rainfall and runoff were used in comparing the computed results. The results show that the greatest effect factor on surface runoff in urban small area is the concentration time. The results estimated by each model which are composed with EXTRAN show that the scheme for surface runoff gives considerable effect on the flood hydrograph in urban drainage system. RUN-EX method gives the most similar simulation results among the surface runoff models, and is more applicable for paved and unpaved basins than others.

Activated carbon has been widely used in water and wastewater treatment for removal of trace organics. The objective of this study was to define adsorption characteristics of trihalomethane(THM) on granular activated carbon(GAC) surfaces by laboratory experiments. Synthetic samples were prepared by adding chloroform into distilled and deionized water. The experiments conducted were a batch run and isotherm studies with five different temperature-pH levels. Adsorption of THM on GAC at an equilibrium condition was well described by the Freundlich isotherm equation. Lower temperature favored the adsorption, but the effect of pH was negligible. Utilizing the results of a batch run and the isotherm results, three parameters, mass transfer coefficient, pore diffusion coefficient, and surface diffusion coefficient, were evaluated by comparing with simulation results of an adsorption model. The results also showed that the pore diffusion was much greater than the surface diffusion.

The interaction of oblique incident waves with a porous dual semi-cylindrical structure is investigated under the assumption of linear potential theory. The porous dual semi-cylindrical structure consists of two concentric bottom-mounted cylindrical structures that are porous in front half and transparent in back half. By changing porosity, gap, and wave characteristics(wave frequencies, incidence angle), the wave blocking performance as well as the wave loads and the wave run-up are obtained. As a convenient measure of overall wave blocking performance, the root mean square(R.M.S.) of the wave elevation in a sheltered region is used. It is found that the porous semi-cylindrical structure may significantly reduce the wave response in a sheltered region and the wave forces decrease largely compared to the impermeable structure. The dual structure is more effective in reducing the wave response in a sheltered region than the mono type in the region of high frequencies.
