  • Voltage instability is a phenomenon that could occur in power systems due to stressed conditions. The result would be an occurrence of voltage collapse leading to total blackout of the system. Therefore, voltage collapse prediction is an important part of power system planning and operation, and can help ensure that voltage collapse due to voltage instability is avoided. Line outages in power systems may also cause voltage collapse, thereby implying the contingency in the system. Contingency problems caused by line outages have been identified as one of the main causes of voltage instability in power systems. This paper presents a new technique for contingency ranking based on voltage stability conditions in power systems. A new line stability index was formulated and used to identify the critical line outages and sensitive lines in the system. Line outage contingency ranking was performed on several loading conditions in order to identify the effect of an increase in loading to critical line outages. Correlation studies on the results obtained from contingency ranking and voltage stability analysis were also conducted, and it was found that line outages in weak lines would cause voltage instability conditions in a system. Subsequently, using the results from the contingency ranking, weak areas in the system can be identified. The proposed contingency ranking technique was tested on the IEEE reliability test system.

In this study the questionaries used and objects were 236 working women form 20 to 39 years old. The dates were analyzed by reliability mean standard deviation percentage Duncan test t-test factor analysis correlation ANOVA and regression. The outcome of the analysis can be as follows : 1. Consumer's advertising involvement in the clothing goods was standing on 'Emotional' 'Expressional' or 'Economical' position. Among the factors affecting the consumer'sbehaviors. 'Usefulness' 'Like or Dislike' or 'Uniqueness' are the major 3 bases for perceptive evaluation 'Activity' 'Uncomfortableness' and 'Tranquility' are the 3 factors extracted from consumer's emotional reaction. 2 There was little difference in the size of advertising effect among the cluster types classified by each difference motive of the clothing advertising involvement. 3. Perceptive evaluation of the types of advertising appeal the non-sex-appeal advertising was inclined to "Usefulenss' or 'likes' while the sex-appeal advertising depending rather highy on 'Uniqueness' In respect of emotional reaction "Tranquility' was on non-sex-appeal advertising while more 'Activity' or 'Uncomfortable' feeling were on sex-appeal advertising. 4. In the light of 'advertising style' 'brand image' or 'purchase stimulation' the non-sex-appeal advertising was rather favorable received by the consumer's than the sex-appealing one. 5. All those surrounding factors excluding the 'uniqueness' are closely co-related to purchase stimulation.

  • The purpose of this study is to determine the indicators and the criteria to classify types of train delays of high-speed rail in South Korea. Types of train delays have divided into the chronic delays and the knock-on delays. The Indicators based on relevance, reliability, and comparability were selected with arrival delay rate of over five minutes, median of arrival delays of preceding train and following train, knock-on delay rate of over five minutes, correlation of delay between preceding train and following train on intermediate and last stations, average train headway, average number of passengers per train, and average seat usages. Types of train delays were separated using the Ward's hierarchical cluster analysis. The criteria for classification of train delay were presented by the Fisher's linear discriminant. The analysis on the situational characteristics of train delays is as follows. If the train headway in last station is short, the probability of chronic delay is high. If the planned running times of train is short, the seriousness of chronic delay is high. The important causes of train delays are short headway of train, shortly planned running times, delays of preceding train, and the excessive number of passengers per train.

  • Introduction: Geriatric depression is one of the significant mental health issues for older people. This descriptive study aimed to investigate the correlation between selected factors and depression among older people, living in homes for the aged in the western part of Thailand. Methods: 107 older people, living in two homes for the aged of the western part of Thailand were recruited to the study, using cluster sampling. Three questionnaires, including the Barthel Index Activity of Daily living (BADL), the Thai Geriatric Depression Scale (TGDS), and personal characteristics, perceived health status, chronic diseases, family relationship, and recent grief and loss experience were used. The quality of all questionnaires, especially the reliability of BADL, TGDS, and selected factors (e.g., health factors) were 0.95, 0.93, and 0.72 respectively. After finishing data collection, percentages, medians, and Spearman's rank correlation and Mann-Whitney U were used to analyze the data. Results and discussion: The results revealed that nearly half (41.1%) of older people suffered from depression. Furthermore, income, perceived health status, and Barthel ADL index were significantly negatively associated with depression at p<0.01; whereas, the number of chronic diseases was significantly positively associated with depression at p<0.05. Conclusion: results on the correlation may guide the practice in the future. For example, the officers or health care providers in homes for the aged should encourage older people to be independent, improve their perceived health status, increase health promoting behaviors to prevent or delay chronic illnesses, or increase older people incomes by promoting the appropriate occupation.

  • Parallel file system solves I/O bottleneck to store a file distributedly and read it parallel exchanging messages among computers that is connected multiple computers with high speed networks. However, they do not consider the message characteristics and performances are decreased. Accordingly, the current study proposes the Hybrid Channel model (HCM) as a message-management method, whereby the messages of a parallel file system are classified by a message characteristic between control messages and file data blocks, and the communication channel is divided into a message channel and data channel. The message channel then transfers the control messages through TCP/IP with reliability, while the data channel that is implemented by Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) transfers the file data blocks at high speed. In tests, the proposed parallel file system that is implemented by HCM exhibited a considerably improved performance.

  • MANET can quickly build a network because it is configured with only the mobile node and it is very popular today due to its various application range. However, MANET should solve vulnerable security problem that dynamic topology, limited resources of each nodes, and wireless communication by the frequent movement of nodes have. In this paper, we propose a domain-based distributed cooperative intrusion detection techniques that can perform accurate intrusion detection by reducing overhead. In the proposed intrusion detection techniques, the local detection and global detection is performed after network is divided into certain size. The local detection performs on all the nodes to detect abnormal behavior of the nodes and the global detection performs signature-based attack detection on gateway node. Signature DB managed by the gateway node accomplishes periodic update by configuring neighboring gateway node and honeynet and maintains the reliability of nodes in the domain by the trust management module. The excellent performance is confirmed through comparative experiments of a multi-layer cluster technique and proposed technique in order to confirm intrusion detection performance of the proposed technique.

  • This research demonstrates clothing consumption values, fashion preferences of career women from the early 1920s to late 1930s. And having thorough understanding of values and preferences, allows us to establish marketing strategies for clothing companies. The main purpose of this study is (1) to formalize consumer group based upon the clothing consumption values, (2) to find for characteristics of consumer depending on classification of consumption value in clothing, (3) to understand the preferences of career women about fashion trends. Analyzing data was performed 292 copies, resulting factor analysis, Cluster analysis, X-test, Anova, Tukey test, t-test, frequency analysis, and reliability analysis. This paper showed 7 distinctive characteristics of career women about clothing consumption value. These characteristics can be listed as 1) value of brand image, 2) value of self-expression, 3) functional values, 4) epistemic values, 5) coordination values, 6) social values 7) psychological values. Importantly, brand image value became most significant aspects among 7 factors. Analyzing consumers based upon stated 7 factors, it was found that they are segregated into 4 groups; Self-expressive Group, Psychological Stability Group, Functional Group, Social Group. Secondly, for fashion trend preferences, self-expressive group, psychological stability group, and functional group favored Romantic Feminine Style respectively. Social Group showed preference in Nu-Basic'. The reason for such trend dealt with fabric materials and colors. Finally examining population statistics, younger generations showed more preferences in Nu-Basic', and consumers from ages of 26 to 28, 32 to 34 showed preferences in Romantic Feminine' regardless of their household income, clothing related expenditures, jobs, and education level. On the other hand, 'Modem Classic' was popular among college graduates and 'Paradise' was somewhat less popular among all ages except from ages of 32 to 34, consumers consumption 300,000Won to 400,000Won on clothing related expenditures. And 'Energy' seemed to attract more highly educated females, who had more than masters in degrees with over 300,000 to 400,000Won for clothing related expenditures.

  • The purpose of this study was to develop the pattern of bodysuit and to identify the wear fitness of it The methods of statistical analysis applied to the study were ANOVA and cluster analysis. The materials used in making bodysuit were Nylon/Polyurethane, lace, power net, binding tape, and hook eye. The try-on test was administered in two aspects ; (1) the comparison of anthropometric data before and after trying on the experimentally constructed bodysuit with those of marketing bodysuit, (2) the sensory evaluation to estimate the wear fitness in terms of appearance and motion function. The conclusions obtained are as follows ; 1. In the survey of wearing state, 52.2% of respondents had experience of wearing bodysuit. 60.6% of them responded to the item, “well-balanced body” in the question about the purpose of wearing it. 55.7% considered the item, “feel choky in the chest” as uncomfortable point in putting on bodysuit. 48.3% felt the portion of crotch drawn above in taking exercise or behaving routinely in everyday life. 2. As for the characteristics of the bodysuit design, the scooped neckline and horizontal outline without wire in lower bust was used, the adjust point being located right above the perineum point, and the length of bodysuit is as far as trochanteric point. 3. In comparing anthropometric data of the subjects, there was significant difference in the height of lower bust the distance around abdomen, and the length of bust point(right, left) between the experimentally constructed bodysuit and the marketing bodysuit. 4. Concerning the results of the try-on test in appearance, the estimates of expert panel, which were in agreement with those of subjects in mean value and composite reliability coefficient, showed that the pattern fitness of experimentally designed bodysuit was higher than that of marketing bodysuit. 5. To take try-on test in motion function, motion was classified the five steps. The results of the test showed that experimentally designed bodysuit was fitter in each steps of motion than marketing bodysuit.
