An optimal driving strategy of a train in a long journey on a nonsteep track has four phases: an initial power phase, a long hold speed phase, a coast phase and a final brake phase. The majority of the journey is speed holding. On a track with steep gradients, it becomes necessary to vary the strategy around steep sections of track because it is not possible to hold a constant steep on steep track. Instead we must interrupt the speed hold phase with a power phase. The aim of this paper is to show that there is a unique power phase that satisfies the necessary conditions for an optimal journey. The problem is developed and solved for various cases, from a simple single steep gradient to a complicated multiple steep gradient section. For each case, we construct a set of new conditions for optimality of the power phase that minimises the energy used during the power phase subject to a weighted time penalty. We then use the new necessary conditions to develop a calculate scheme for finding an optimal power phase for a steep incline. We also present an example to confirm the uniqueness of an optimal power phase.

The real-time monitoring and controlling between the interior and the field signaling security devices is a necessity for the train safety in terms of the train operating plan. The type wiring lower the safety level of signaling security device, because too much wiring makes the maintenance more difficult and it might be have a problem of an induction field and contact. It also need high cost. The single network communication(Fieldbus) does not need that much wiring, and the maintenance will be easier. It also guarantee the high level of stability.

This paper presents and efficient algorithm for the loss minimization by automatic sectionalizing switch operation in distribution systems. Ant colony algorithm is multi-agent system in which the behaviour of each single agent, called artificial ant, is inspired by the behaviour of real ants. Ant colony algorithm is suitable for combinatiorial optimization problem as network reconfiguration because it use the long term memory, called pheromone, and heuristic information with the property of the problem. The proposed methodology with some adoptions have been applied to improve the computation time and convergence property. Numerical examples demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed methodology using a KEPCO's distribution system.

As digital systems continue to use components with faster edge rate and clock speeds, transmission of the digital information can take place many troubles. The increasing requirement for controlled impedance PCBs becomes both a critical success factor and a design challenge. Especially, the noise sources in digital system include the noise in power supply, ground and packaging due to simultaneous switching of signal, signal reflections and distortions on single and multiple transmission lines. This paper simulates the tracks controlled impedance with the test coupon. So, it can saves the design time and supports the economical PCB design.

As for M/G/1 queueing system, we use various control policies, with which we can optimize the system. Up to now the most widely adopted policies are N-Policy, T-Policy, D-Policy, and so on. The existing researches are largely concerned to find an optimal operation condition or to optimize the system under single policy in M/G/1 system. There are, however, few literatures dealing with multiple control policies at once to enhance the flexibility of the model. In this study, we consider M/G/1 system adopting N-Policy and T-Policy simultaneously. If one of two conditions is satisfied, then, the server starts the service. We call this Min(N,T)-Policy. We find the probability distribution of the number of customers and mean waiting time in steady state and derive a cost function. Next, we seek the $N^*$, optimal threshold under various N values. Finally, we reveal the characteristics of cost function.

In conventional methods, the availability of floating crane has determined the size of a concrete caisson. However, this paper introduces a new method for larger caisson production that make it possible to complete caisson fabrication and launch out without use of floating crane. The new method carries out multi-step fabrication of caisson and horizontal transfer of caisson on a single casting bed which consists of collapsible soffit form, trough, aero go watercaster system or low frictional PTFE added jacking system, half-submergible floating dock. To make the new method successfully launched, the static and dynamic analysis is carried out to obtain the stability of caisson launching and experimental research is conducted in evaluating friction occurred between PTFE pad and steel track. Lastly, the comparison of the new method and the conventional method are detailed. With significant benefits in construction costs reduction and construction time reduction, this new method in this paper would be recommended for extensive application in large port and harbor construction projects.

Purpose: This integrative review study was done to analyze methods used for validation studies in Korean nursing research. Methods: In this study, the literature on instrument development in nursing research from Research Information Sharing Service (RISS) and major nursing journal databases in Korea were examined. The MeSH search terms included 'nursing', 'instrument', 'instrument development', 'validation' and 189 articles were included in the review. Results: The most frequently reported validity type was content validity, followed by construct validity, and criterion validity. One third reported a single type of validity, and 15% of the studies demonstrated three kinds of validity at the same time. In about 40% of the studies, both content and construct validity were examined. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that it is necessary to provide a wider variety of evidence to establish whether instruments are valid enough to use in nursing research.

Traditional genetic algorithms(GA) have mostly used binary code for representing design variable. The binary code GA has many difficulties to solve optimization problems with continuous design variables because of its targe computer core memory size, inefficiency of its computing time, and its bad performance on local search. In this paper, a real code GA is proposed for dealing with the above problems. So, new crossover and mutation processes of read code GA are developed to use continuous design variables directly. The results of real code GA are compared with those of binary code GA for several single and multiple objective optimization problems. As results of comparisons, it is found that the performance of the real code GA is better than that of the binary code GA, and concluded that the rent code GA developed here can be used for the general optimization problem.

We have designed and simulated an 1-bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) by using a half adder. An ALU is the part of a computer processor that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. The designed ALU had limited operation functions of OR, AND, XOR, and ADD. It had a pipeline structure. We constructed an 1-bit ALU by using only one half adder and three control switches. We designed the control switches in two ways, dc switch and NDRO (Non Destructive Read Out) switch. We used dc switches because they were simple to use. NDRO pulse switches were used because they can be easily controlled by control signals of SET and RESET and show fast response time. The simulation results showed that designed circuits operate correctly and the circuit minimum margins were ＋/-27%. In this work, we used simulation tools of XIC and WRSPICE. The circuit layouts were also performed. The circuits are being fabricated.

Now many major airports in the world which operate strategic alliance or Hub & Spoke system have met capacity restriction and confusion problems. And the time and the walking distance for boarding to flight are important standard to measure customer convenience. And the effective gate assignment guarantees customers convenience as well as increasing airport capacity without expanding established airport equipments. So it can be a major concern to manage airports. So this paper formulate gate assignment problem in the hub airport not quadratic assignment problem but a improved single-period integer problem which is minimize local and transit passengers I walking distance. As a result, this study will present a method producing optimal gate assignment result using optimization software. We use real flights and gates data in the national airport, so we will compare a assignment results with a real airport assignment results and previous researches and analyze those results.
