This paper presents deterministic, worst-case analysis of a queueing system whose multiple homogeneous input streams are regulated by the associated leaky buckets and the queueing system that has a single stream regulated by the jumping-window. Queueing delay averaged over all items is used for performance measure, and the worst-case input traffic and the worst-case performance are identified for both queueing systems. For the former queueing system, the analysis explores different phase relations among leaky-bucket token generations. This paper observes how the phase differences among the leaky buckets affect the worst-case queueing performance. Then, this paper relates the worst-case performance of the former queueing system with that of the latter (the single stream case, as in the aggregate streams from many users, whose item arrivals are regulated by one jumping-window). It is shown that the worst-case performance of the latter is identical to that of the former in which all leaky buckets have the same phase and have particular leaky bucket parameters.

This paper presents a study for decision method of human body safety according to power load fluctuation of the Chechon area. To cope with substantial electromagnetics analysis, the safety assessments were analyzed the double 154 [kV] T/L, 345 [kV] T/L, Chechon-Ichon, Chechon-Youngju, respectively. As the results of case study, in case of 345 [kV] T/L, the electric field value was 11.4927 [kV/m], magnetic field value was 0.4622 [G] at the point about 7 [m] away from the line in severest case. The results showed that the membership of a proposition fuzzy '11.4937 [kV/m] is hazardous' is 0.7063 for the severest case in case of 345 [kV] T/L. As the analytic results using the fuzzy qualifier term, the membership in case of very false is 0.0862 and fairly false is 0.5419, respectively.

Welding process generates distortion and residual stress in the weldment due to rapid heating and cooling. Welding distortion and residual stress in the welded structure result in many troubles such as dimensional inaccuracies in assembling and safety problem during service. The accurate prediction of welding residual stress is thus very important to improve the quality of weldment and find the way to reduce itself. This paper suggests new analysis method to predict welding residual stress by considering solid phase transformation during welding process. Using the method, analysis is performed for medium and low carbon steel. The analysis result for medium carbon steel reveals that case considering phase transformation has compressive residual stress in contrast with the case neglecting phase transformation because of martensite formation. However, for the case of low carbon steel, residual stress shows little difference between the case considering phase transformation and the other case, because it has small transformation strain and recovers rapidly stress after phase transformation.

Background/Objectives: The purpose of the study is to derive a goal usable in the field by exploring the case management success experiences of case managers. Civil case managers state that what is still important in case management practice is qualitative change made in the practice process. Therefore, the study will deal with detailed contents about case management that civil domain case managers consider to be important. Methods/Statistical analysis: For data collection, the study used focus group interview on 20 professional case management social workers and used Grounded theory method by Glaser for data analysis. The analysis of collected data consisted of a process of finding the categories and characteristics of the research problem. Findings: As a result of analysis, 4 categories, 10 subcategories, and 25 elements were derived for success experiences of case management practice. The categories were divided into satisfaction and ability improvement of client, case manager ability improvement, establishment of organization and environment function, and multilateral trust relationship strengthening. Improvements/Applications: The results of this study further clarified the goal of field case management practice and it was suggested as a plan to reflect on future case management related institutions evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficiency by the Life Cycle Cost(LCC) analysis of floor covering materials for remodeling. This study has been performed as a case study. The LCC analysis is a technique which takes account into both initial-future costs and benefits of an investment over some period of time. LCC is important in commercial decision making because it provides improved assessment of the living-term cost effectiveness of construction projects as well as alternative economic methods that focus on initial costs. For LCC analysis and comparison, the present value technique is used. The results of this study are summarized as follows; (1) A LCC analysis model of floor covering materials is suggested through a case study (2) As a result of LCC case study, the type of sheet is analysed more economical than that of tile in floor covering materials.

Purpose: There is increasing prevalence of psychiatric disorders among inflammatory bowel Disease (IBD) population. Further, presence of psychiatric disorders has been shown as an independent predictor of quality of life among patients with IBD. We intended to explore the prevalence of various psychiatric disorders among pediatric and young adult population with IBD as a population-based analysis. Methods: We did a retrospective case control analysis using a deidentified cloud-based database including health care data across 26 health care networks comprising of more than 360 hospitals across USA. Data collected across different hospitals were classified and stored according to Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms. We preidentified 10 psychiatric disorders and the queried the database for the presence of at least one of the ten psychiatric disorders among IBD patients between 5 and 24 years of age and compared with controls. Results: Total of 11,316,450 patients in the age group between 5 and 24 years and the number of patients with a diagnosis of IBD, Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis were 58,020. The prevalence of psychiatric disorders was 21.6% among IBD mainly comprising of depression and anxiety disorder. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed, IBD is 5 times more likely associated with psychiatric disorders than controls, p<0.001). We showed a steady increasing trend in the incidence of psychiatric disorders among IBD patients (2% in 2006 to 15% in 2017). Conclusion: Largest population-based analysis demonstrated an increased prevalence of psychiatric disorders among IBD patients. Our study emphasizes the need for psychological and mental health services to be incorporated as a part of the routine IBD clinic.

Recently, a railroad system has a big and complicated structure of specification. Therefore, traceability between specification need to be identified for design change management and this is many engineer's concerns. Traceability means technical relationship. This is to trace other specification or component connect with relevant problem in case some problem should be examined. Traceability between functional specification can be proved through functional analysis essentially. This study will introduce an application method of functional analysis in the case of practical use project of MAGLEV train. And we propose the guide to identify traceability between function through functional analysis.
