  • In this paper, an integrated production inventory model is developed for two products on a single facility in which the raw materials are fed to the production system as required at the facility. The aim is to determine simultaneously the optimal production schedule for two products and the optimal procurement policies for the raw materials in a way that minimizes the total variable cost of the production system. The production schedule for the more frequently set-up product is formulated by the method of equal or unequal lot sizes. For the model developed, we present a computational scheme of finding the optimal policies and carry out sensitivity analysis through example problem.

  • We study the relation between an R-Cartan structure ${\alpha}$ an an (I, J, K)-generalized Finsler structure ${\omega}$ on a 3-manifold ${\Sigma}$ showing the difficulty in finding a general transformation that maps ${\alpha}$ to ${\omega}$. In some particular cases, the mapping can be uniquely determined by geometrical conditions. Moreover, we are led in this way to a negative answer to our conjecture in [12].

  • Garbage is one of the most rapidly emerging social problems in korea. Finding a good way of disposing the waste is a real concern to all social members. Especially residents in city are regarded a essential agent to problem solving. The main purpose of this study is to find out the caracteristics of active citizens who participate in the process of waste separation and recycling. Dimensions of the research are demographical charateristics, individual values, knowledge, and information resources of citizens. This study emphasizes the importance of the voluntary participation of consumers. Study results can be utilized as a policy alternatives for local authorities concerned.

  • An evaluation of the environments in the wandering pathway of the dementia units was carried out. It is revealed that the quality of the environment for the wandering pathway of the sample units was very low. In particular, lacks of social environments in Unit-B and Unit-C, and lacks of orientation aids in all the sample units were shown. Therefore, re-design for the wandering pathway of the sample units is needed. Recommendations for improving the wandering pathway and having appropriate wandering pathway without any abrupt change in existing layout of the sample units were suggested, and the limits of this research is diagnosed. It is also shown that since evaluation categories used in this paper had very closed relationship each other, those evaluation categories can be used in other settings.

  • This study is concerned with the development of the economic sampling inspection plan when it is possible to carry out a nondestructive screening inspection for the rejected lots by substitutive characteristics closely related to the original quality characteristic. It is assumed that the probabilities of those errors depend linearly on the fraction defective of the process. The inspection policies considered are as follows: take a random sample of size n from the lot of size N and perform a destructive test on the sample. If the number of the defective items is not greater than a critical number C, accept the lot. Expected cost functions are obtained when the process average can be considered to follow a beta distribution and the way of finding the optimal values of (n, c) is to be explored.

  • In this paper, we consider the Location-Routing Problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD) which is a general case of the location-routing problem. The LRPSPD is defined as finding locations of the depots and designing vehicle routes in such a way that pickup and delivery demands of each customer must be performed with same vehicle and the overall cost is minimized. Since the LRPSPD is an NP-hard problem, we propose a hybrid heuristic approach based on genetic algorithms (GA) and simulated annealing (SA) to solve the problem. To evaluate the performance of the proposed approach, we conduct an experimental study and compare its results with those obtained by a branch-and-cut algorithm on a set of instances derived from the literature. Computational results indicate that the proposed hybrid algorithm is able to find optimal or very good quality solutions in a reasonable computation time.

  • As a result of the great attention to the historical and cultural heritage, the achievements of the natural sciences are finding their way into museums. The necessity of preserving the treasures of the artistic and cultural heritage has brought into being a new alliance, an alliance between science and culture. The most sciences of cultural properties pertain mainly to improvement of the methods of identifications, preservation and restoration of historical monuments. Recently a new physical method has appeared that, in a sense, possesses universal capabilities. That method is holography, which successfully combines unique features making it possible not only to create three-dimesional optical replicas of real three -dimensional objects practically indistinguishable from the original but also to study them. We shall deal in this papper with its scientific principle and application for displaying, as well as on other potential applications.

  • Most of the statistical signal analysis processed in the time domain and the frequency domain are based on the assumption that the signal is weakly stationary(wide sense stationary). Therefore, it is necessary to know whether the surface EMG signals processed in the statistical basis satisfy the condition of weak stationarity. The purpose of this study is to analyze the accuracy of the Run-test, modified Run-test, RA(reverse arrangement)-test, and modified RA-test for assessing surface EMG signal stationarity. Six stationary and three non-stationary signals were simulated by using sine wave, AR(autoregressive) modeling, and real surface EMG. The simulated signals were tested for stationarity using nine different methods of Run-test and RA-test. The results showed that the modified Run-test method2 (mRT2) classified exactly the surface EMG signals by stationarity with 100% accuracy. This finding indicates that the mRT2 may be the best way for assessing stationarity in surface EMG signals.

  • Purpose: This study was to identify the meaning of the experience of 'well-being' of female college students in Korea and provide fundamental materials to improve nursing interventions. Methods: The participants were six female students who gave consent to participate in this study. This study was conducted between August 2006 and November 2006. Each interview took one to three hours. The contents of the interviews were recorded and dictated afterwards. In addition, the interviews were carried out such a way that the gathered information was sufficiently saturated. The data was analyzed with the phenomenological analytic method suggested by Giorgi (1985). Results: As a result of analysis, the following have been identified.: proper dietary treatment, proper physical treatment, harmonized psychological treatment, environmental-friendly treatment, and hypersensitivity to the mass media. Conclusions: The finding of this study offers profound information on the 'well-being' of female college students in Korea and provides fundamental materials to improve the quality of nursing interventions.

  • In this paper. a way to analysis a corridor scene for a vehicle's automatic locomotion is presented In general, it's necessary for a vision system of vehicles to identify its positions in given environments. The suggested algorithm is to decide base lines of a corridor image using the vanishing point finding. Feature points are extracted on the base line using a base line extraction tree. This algorithm is suitable for a motorized wheelchair's self locomotion in a building.
