Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine an optimal number of cycle times for the replacement under the circumstance where the system is replaced at the periodic time and the multiple number of working cycles whichever occurs first and the system is minimally repaired between the replacements if it fails. Methods: The system is replaced at periodic time () or cycle time, whichever occurs first, and is repaired minimally when it fails between successive replacements. To determine the optimal number of cycle times, the expected total cost rate is optimized with respect to the number of cycle times, where the expected total cost rate is defined as the ratio of the expected total cost between replacements to the expected time between replacements. Results: In this paper, we conduct a sensitivity analysis to find the following results. First, when the expected number of failures per unit time increases, the optimal number of cycle times decreases. Second, when the periodic time for replacement becomes longer, the optimal number of cycle times decreases. Third, when the expected value for exponential distribution of the cycle time increases, the optimal number of cycle times increases. Conclusion: A mathematical model is suggested to find the optimal number of cycle times and numerical examples are provided through the sensitivity analysis on the model parameters to see the patterns for changes of the optimal number of cycle times.

Solar activity shows a self-similarity as it has many periods of activity cycle in the time series of long-term observation, such as 13.5, 51, 150, 300 days, and 11, 88 years and so on. Since fractal dimension is a quantitative parameter for this kind of an irregular time series, we applied this method to long-term observations including sunspot number, total solar irradiance, and 3.75 GHz solar radio flux to predict the start and maximum times as well as expected maximum sunspot number for the next solar cycle. As a result, we found that the radio flux data tend to have lower fractal dimensions than the sunspot number data, which means that the radio emission from the sun is more regular than the solar activity expressed by sunspot number. Based on the relation between radio flux of 3.75 GHz and sunspot number, we could calculate the expected maximum sunspot number of solar cycle 24 as 156, while the observed value is 146. For the maximum time, estimated mean values from 7 different observations are January 2013 and this is quite different to observed value of February 2014. We speculate this is from extraordinary extended properties of solar cycle 24. As the cycle length of solar cycle 24, 10.1 to 12.8 years are expected, and the mean value is 11.0. This implies that the next solar cycle will be started at December 2019.

심층 생성 모델의 일종인 Generative Adversarial Network(GAN)과 Variational AutoEncoder(VAE)는 비병렬 학습 데이터를 사용한 음성 변환에 새로운 방법론을 제시하고 있다. 특히, Conditional Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Network(CC-GAN)과 Cycle-Consistent Variational AutoEncoder(CycleVAE)는 다수 화자 사이의 음성 변환에 우수한 성능을 보이고 있다. 그러나, CC-GAN과 CycleVAE는 비교적 적은 수의 화자를 대상으로 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 100 명의 한국어 화자 데이터를 사용하여 CC-GAN과 CycleVAE의 음성 변환 성능과 확장 가능성을 실험적으로 분석하였다. 실험 결과 소규모 화자의 경우 CC-GAN이 Mel-Cepstral Distortion(MCD) 기준으로 4.5 % 우수한 성능을 보이지만 대규모 화자의 경우 CycleVAE가 제한된 학습 시간 안에 12.7 % 우수한 성능을 보였다.

Wear of valve seating face and seat insert seating face influence the performance of engine, so they are important. To manufacture good quality valve and seat insert which have wear resistance the relations between wear factors and wear of the two seating faces have to be inspected. Cycle number is one of the important wear factors wearing the two seating faces and it can translate into mileage in rear car. But little is blown. Test variable is only cycle number and the cycle numbers are $2.0{\times}10^6,\;4.0{\times}10^6\;6.0{\times}10^6,\;8.0{\times}10^6$. And the other test conditions were fixed. Rmax of valve seating face and seat insert seating face increase linearly as cycle number is increased. Rmax of valve seating face were smaller than seat insert seating face in each cycle number. Reaction production by tribological reaction and sliding wear was found on the two faces.

We have made intensive calculations on the maximum relative sunspot number and the date of solar maximum of 23rd solar cycle, by using the statistical and precursor methods to predict solar activity cycle. According to our results of solar data processing by statistical method, solar maximum comes at between February and July of 2000 year and at that time, the smoothed sunspot number will reach to $114.3\~122.8$. while precursor method gives rather dispersed value of $118\~17$ maximum sunspot number. It is found that prediction by statistical method using smoothed relative sunspot number is more accurate than by any method to use any data of 10.7cm radio fluxes and geomagnetic aa, Ap indexes, from the full analysis of solar cycle pattern of these data. In fact, current ascending pattern of 23rd solar cycle supports positively our predicted values. Predicted results by precursor method for $Ap_{avg},\;aa_{31-36}$ indexes show similar values to those by statistical method. Therefore, these indexes can be used as new precursors for the prediction of 23rd or next solar cycle.

The number of keystream cycle sequences has been proposed as a characteristic of binary sequence generator for cryptographic application, but in general the most of binary sequence generators have a single cycle. On the other hand, S-box has been used to block cipher for a highly nonlinear element and then we apply it to the stream cipher with a high crypto-degree. In this paper, we propose a multiple-cycle binary sequence generator based on S-box which has a high nonlinearity containing SAC property and analyze its period, linear complexity, randomness and the number of keystream cycle sequences.

Low cycle fatigue life of spheroidal graphite cast iron is determined by the morphological parameters of internal graphite. The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of the number of nodular grain of spheroidal graphite cast iron on low cycle fatigue life. Two specimens that have identical average nodular grain size by changing nodular grain volume fraction and different number of nodular grain count was tested. In this paper, the parameter governing fatigue life through fatigue test, the number of nodular grain seriously affect fatigue life and nodular grain size is no longer governing parameter of it.

프랙탈 차원은 연속적으로 관측된 불규칙한 자료의 성질을 정량적으로 표현하는 파라메터이다. 본 연구에서는 프랙탈 차원을 이용하여 태양 흑점수의 불규칙한 변동을 분석하고 다가오는 태양주기의 최대흑점수를 예측하였다. 이를 위하여 우리는 SIDC(Solar Influences Data analysis Center)에서 제공하는 1850년부터 2004년까지의 일일흑점수를 이용하여 Higuchi의 방법으로 각 태양주기의 프랙탈 차원을 결정하고 같은 태양주기 동안의 최대 월평균 흑점수와 비교하였다. 그 결과 프랙탈 차원과 최대 월평균 흑점수는 강한 역비례 관계를 보였다. 이러한 관계를 이용하여 태양활동 극소기부터 활동이 증가되는 기간인 4년동안의 흑점수만을 이용하여 프랙탈 차원을 구하고 다가올 극대기의 최대 월평균 흑점수를 예측한 결과 관측된 최대흑점수와 0.89의 좋은 상관관계를 보였다.

Utilizing a new version of the sunspot number and group sunspot number dataset available since 2015, we have statistically studied the relationship between solar activity parameters describing solar cycles and the slope of the linear relationship between the monthly sunspot numbers and the monthly number of active days in percentage (AD). As an effort of evaluating possibilities in use of the number of active days to predict solar activity, it is worthwhile to revisit and extend the analysis performed earlier. In calculating the Pearson's linear correlation coefficient r, the Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient rs, and the Kendall's τ coefficient with the rejection probability, we have calculated the slope for a given solar cycle in three different ways, namely, by counting the spotless day that occurred during the ascending phase and the descending phase of the solar cycle separately, and during the period corresponding to solar minimum ± 2 years as well. We have found that the maximum solar sunspot number of a given solar cycle and the duration of the ascending phase are hardly correlated with the slope of a linear function of the monthly sunspot numbers and AD. On the other hand, the duration of a solar cycle is found to be marginally correlated with the slope with the rejection probabilities less than a couple of percent. We have also attempted to compare the relation of the monthly sunspot numbers with AD for the even and odd solar cycles. It is inconclusive, however, that the slopes of the linear relationship between the monthly group numbers and AD are subject to the even and odd solar cycles.

This paper presents a new integer formulation (Type III ALB) for a single model assembly line balancing problem. The objective of the formulation is to minimize the total idle time, which is defined as the product of the number of work stations and the cycle times minus the total work content. This formulation considers currently existing Type I (minimizing the number of work stations for a given cycle time) and type II (minimizing the cycle time for a given number of work stations) formulations as its special cases and provides the global minimum solutions of the cycle time and the number of work stations. This information would be of great value to line designers involved in designing new assembly lines and rebalancing old lines under flexible conditions. Solution methods based on combination of Type I and Type II approaches are also suggested and compared.
