In this paper, we have described the Ramp Activity Coordination Expert System (RACES) which can solve aircraft parking problems. RACES includes a knowledge-based scheduling problem which assigns every daily arriving and departing flight to the gates and remote spots with the domain specific knowledge and heuristics acquired from human experts. RACES processes complex scheduling problem such as dynamic inter-relations among the characteristics of remote spots/gates and aircraft with various other constraints, for example, custome and ground handling factors at an airport. By user-driven modeling for end users and knowledge-driven near optimal scheduling acquired from human experts, RACES can produce parking schedules of aircraft in about 20 seconds for about 400 daily flights, whereas it normally takes about 4 to 5 hours by human experts. Scheduling results in the form of Gantt charts produced by the RACES are also accepted by the domain experts. RACES is also designed to deal with the partial adjustment of the schedule when unexpected events occur. After daily scheduling is completed, the messages for aircraft changes and delay messages are reflected and updated into the schedule according to the knowledge of the domain experts. By analyzing the knowledge model of the domain expert, the reactive scheduling steps are effectively represented as rules and the scenarios of the Graphic User Interfaces (GUI) are designed. Since the modification of the aircraft dispositions such as aircraft changes and cancellations of flights are reflected to the current schedule, the modification should be notified to RACES from the mainframe for the reactive scheduling. The adjustments of the schedule are made semi-automatically by RACES since there are many irregularities in dealing with the partial rescheduling.

The required level of detail in scheduling depends on the stages in the construction life-cycle. The objective of this study is to provide a Standardized Schedule Model (SSM) with an aim to facilitate the estimating of construction duration in the planning stage. The SSM modularizes work items; establishes relations between preceding and succeeding activities; and calculates approximate construction duration. The estimated duration of the SSM was compared with the detailed duration from the commercial scheduling tool using actual work activities. The difference showed to be ranged between -3.1% and +15%, which demonstrates that the SSM can be feasibly applied to the approximate estimation of construction duration.

Construction duration is very important as a factor which comprises three axises of construction management with quality and cost in construction project. In general project condition, construction duration is optimized while minimizing construction cost and securing required quality. However, in case of insufficient project time duration or delayed projects, project progress management is different from those of normal projects. These project areas need solutions to complete work within a given completion day. To time shortening the current duration of each typical floor of structural framework in apartment construction is investigated, and a basic time schedule planning for typical floor of structural framework in normal projects is planned. This study proposed 3 ways for time shortening of urgent project or insufficient construction duration project. Also, This study proposed detailed time shortening method and technical solution conditions while time is shortened.

This study proposes the concept and measurement of object-oriented systems modelling activity based on the previous research in the area of systems engineering, object-oriented modelling, and information systems. The modelling activity is related to information systems development success for exploring the correlation of each other. The object-oriented modeling activity is found to be related to user satisfaction with developed information systems, But the modeling activity does not have relation to the other successes, such as cost, development schedule, and maintenance. This study contributes to systems development modeling research, systems success, and object-oriented systems modelling research. Practically, the results support the usefulness of object-oriented modelling effort in the field in terms of user satisfaction.

Purpose: The work flow of international hospital's laboratory consists of rapid test and result report at the present day. However, the frequent inquiry of sample, which cause affairs to delay and efficiency to Lower, affects medical examination. In order to promote work's efficiency, we should improve the problem and make work smooth between a laboratory, outs and ward. Materials and Methods: This study runs as follows. First, Investigating test result, test schedule, test receipt, quick result, etc through the activity required from September to November 2007 about the inquiry of sample. After analysis of the problem in December, remaking the test schedule for improvement solution and reporting it to outs and ward. When the result is retest and dilution, we directly fill in a result space with the result situation of the patient to let them know beforehand. We also, prevent the omission of the result through checking the sample list and discriminate in vivo from in vitro by changing the laboratory's telephone number. We have improved the problem about the inquiry of sample through valuation and analysis since the improvement activity from January to March 2008. Result: The case about the frequent inquiry of sample has reduced by 57.8%. this improvement activity indicated that p-value<0.05 was statistically significant through paired t-test. This activity make study smooth and we rapidly report the result. Conclusion: By reducing the case regarding the inquiry of sample, work discontinuation, and concentration reduction, the work efficiency was increased.

In this study, a modified algorithm for the exchange heuristic is developed and applied to a resource-constrained scheduling problem. The problem involves multiple projects and multiple resource categories and allows flexible resource allocation to each activity. The objective is to minimize the maximum completion time. The exchange heuristkc is a multiple pass algorithm which makes improvements upon a given initial feasible schedule. Four different modified algorithms are proposed. The original algorithm and the new algorithms were compared through an experimental investigation. All the proposed algorithms reduce the maximum completion time much more effectively than the original algorithm. Especially, one of four proposed algorithms obviously outperforms the other three algorithms. The algorithm of the best performance produces significantly shorter schedules than the original algorithm, though it requires up to three times more computation time. However, in most situations, a reduction in schedule length means a significant reduction in the total cost.

Increasingly, risk analysis is becoming important ingredients in achieving the successful implementation and application in the area of the project management. The project management system is designed to manage or control the project resources on a given activity within time, cost and performance so called TPPM (Total Productive Project Management). In this research, a risk analysis model misproposed to identify potential problem areas, quantify the risks, and generated the chice of the action that can be taken to reduce the risk. In addition two analysis models are proposed : 1) risk factor model and 2) network simulation model using VERT (Venture Evaluation and Review Technique ). The objective of the remodels is to estimate the schedule, cost performance risks. These proposed quantitative models for project risk analysis are proving its value for the project managers who need to assess the risk of changes in cost, schedule, or performance. The proposed models will be used in the area of project selection, evaluation and the allocation of project resources.

The present study was carried out to investigate the antihypertensive effect of a folklore herbal formulation (HF) (300mg/kg/day; p.o.) in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt induced and fructose induced hypertensive rats. In DOCA model, DOCA (15 mg/kg, s.c., twice a week) was administered to unilateral nephrectomized rats for 4 weeks. In fructose model, drinking water was replaced with 10% fructose solution for 6 weeks to induce hypertension. Systolic blood pressure (BP) was measured once every week during the treatment schedule. After completion of treatment schedule, BP and vascular reactivity to various agonists like Noradrenaline, Adrenaline, Phenylephrine and Serotonin (5-hydroxytrptamine; 5-HT) were recorded in rats of both models. A cumulative concentration response curve of 5-HT was carried out in isolated rat fundus strip of the DOCA-salt induced and fructose induced hypertensive rats. The results tend to suggest that HF possesses antihypertensive activity.
