It is main objective of this approach to present a method to analyse stochastic design sensitivity for problems of structural dynamics with randomness in design parameters. A combination of the adjoint variable approach and the second order perturbation method is used in the finite element approach. An alternative form of the constant functional that holds for all times is introduced to consider the time response of dynamic sensitivity. The terminal problem of the adjoint system is solved using equivalent homogeneous equations excited by initial velocities. The numerical procedures are shown to be much more efficient when based on the fold superposition method: the generalized co-ordinates are normalized and the correlated random variables are transformed to uncorrelated variables, whereas the secularities are eliminated by the fast Fourier transform of complex valued sequences. Numerical algorithms have been worked out and proved to be accurate and efficient : they can be readily adapted to fit into the existing finite element codes whose element derivative matrices can be explicitly generated. The numerical results of two cases -2 dimensional portal frame for the comparison with reference and 3-dimensional frame structure - for the deterministic sensitivity analysis are presented.

Generally speaking, weapon system is defined as a combination of primary system and support system which are evaluated by capability and operational availability respectively. Recently comparison of total life cycle cost shows that logistic support system is proved to be more important than primary system. However, until now systematic approach to support system development has not been applied in the area of developing support system. We need to construct a universal metric for effectiveness of logistic support system and to cut out whatever activities or support elements which do not contribute to the metric. This paper describes a new approach based on system engineering approach to logistic support system and also classifies five factors of failure, stock-out frequency, administrative delay time, active repair time and logistic delay time that have influence on operational availability of logistic support system.

Technology measurement is related with how to construct indicators of technological change and relative ranking of technological sophistication. Many attempts have been made to understand the measurement of technology. However, technology measurement still remains little understood problem in spite of its importance. This article is concerned with improving the measurement of technology by introducing market factors into the model. It illustrate a simple approach to the measurement of technology. This approach is based on the characteristic-space paradigm of technology. A relative ranking of technological sophistication for a product is measurable as a set of characteristics. The main feature of the proposed approach is the combination of technical factors and market factors. Technical factors are reflected in the definition of technological sophistication. Market factors are embraced in the determination of the relative importance assigned to each technology defining characteristics. Thus, the weight is determined by technical factors and market factors, which differentiates the study from the past based on judgmental technique such as experts' opinion.

Facial palsy has a broad clinical presentation and the effects on psychosocial interaction and facial functions can be devastating. Pediatric facial palsy, in particular, introduces unique familial and technical considerations as anatomy, future growth potential, and patient participation influence treatment planning. Though some etiologies of pediatric facial palsy are self-limiting, congenital and long-standing facial palsies pose difficult challenges that require a combination of surgical, adjunctive, and rehabilitative techniques to achieve facial reanimation. Given the spectrum of ages and symptom severity, as well as the various surgical options available for facial palsy, a tailored approach needs to be developed for each child to restore facial balance and function. Here, we review the etiologies, workup, and treatment of pediatric facial palsy and present our novel algorithmic approach to treatment.

Surgery remains the standard treatment for resectable thoracic esophageal cancer but that is justified only when acceptably low morbidity and mortality rates can be achieved even for advanced disease. The appropriate extent of resection to achieve the best outcome is the most controversial aspect of treating esopahgeal cancer and the optimal excent of lymphadenectomy also remains controversial. Until data from prospective randomized trials showing a clear benefit using a particular approach are available, surgeons should perform their better judgement in individualizing and selecting the most appropriate surgical approach to provide the best chance of cure or lasting palliation for this disease that challanges both patient and surgeon. Further studies are necessary to examine the utility and efficacy of each approach in treating thoracic esophageal cancer either alone or in combination with other modalities.

The purpose of this study is to integrate Decision Theory Approach(DTA) and OR Theory Approach(OTA) systemically. and to develop Combination Theory Approach to build an optimal R&D project portfolio by strategies. To Integrate two approaches. Utility theory is introduced. Evaluation Results aye converted into utility values by the utility functions and the values are optimized by 0-1 programming. Scoring method and Integer programming is used to evaluation a correspondence with a goal and to allocation the limiting resources. And utility function is used to reflect the preference of decision makers on the project evaluation.

In this paper, an approach to adaptive finite element analysis of three-dimensional forging processes is presented with emphasis on remeshing. In the approach, an optimal tetrahedral element generation technique is employed and the mesh density is specified by the combination of the weighted normalized effective strain and the normalized effective strain rate as well as the weighted normalized curvature. The approach is applied to computer simulation of an enclosed die forging process of a bevel gear and its results are compared with its related experiments. It has been shown that the analyzed results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.

This study observes how the combined intervention program effects on the acquisition reading pronunciation of Korean phonological process words and the acquisition aspects of each phonological process rules to four Korean learners whose first language is Chinese. The training program is the combination of multisensory Auditory, Visual and Kinethetic (AVK) approach, wholistic approach, and metalinguistic approach. The training purpose is to evaluate how accurately they read the words of the phonological process which have fortisization, nasalization, lateralization, intermediate sound /ㅅ/ (/${\int}iot"$/). We access how they read the untrained words which include the four factors above. The intervention effects are analyzed by the multiple probe across subjects design. The results indicate that the combined phonological process rule explanation and the words activity intervention affects the four Chinese subjects in every type of word. The implications of the study are these: First, it suggests the effect of Korean pronunciation intervention in a concrete way. Second, it offers how to evaluate the phonological process and how to train people who are learning Korean language.

This paper presents a new approach on genetic algorithms to economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities. Although it has been already shown that genetic algorithm was more powerful to economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities than other optimization algorithms, proposed approach in this paper on genetic algorithms improves the performance to solve economic dispatch problem for valve point discontinuities through combination in penalty function with death penalty, generation-apart elitism and heuristic crossover. Numerical results on an actural utility system consisted of 13 thermal units show that the proposed approach is faster and robuster than the classical genetic algorithm.
