This paper introduces a feasibility evaluation method for prognosis systems based on an empirical model in nuclear power plants. By exploiting the dynamical signature characterized by abnormal phenomena, the prognosis technique can be applied to detect the plant abnormal states prior to an unexpected plant trip. Early $operator^{\circ}{\emptyset}s$ awareness can extend available time for operation action; therefore, unexpected plant trip and time-consuming maintenance can be reduced. For the practical application in nuclear power plant, it is important not only to enhance the advantages of prognosis systems, but also to quantify the negative impact in prognosis, e.g., uncertainty. In order to apply these prognosis systems to real nuclear power plants, it is necessary to conduct a feasibility evaluation; the evaluation consists of 4 steps (: the development of an evaluation method, the development of selection criteria for the abnormal state, acquisition and signal processing, and an evaluation experiment). In this paper, we introduce the feasibility evaluation method and propose further study points for applying prognosis systems from KHNP's experiences in testing some prognosis technologies available in the market.

For design of maritime structure, it is necessary to evaluate the effect and stability of the structure against wave action. Laboratory model experiments and their empirical formulas are mainly used to estimate those at present, although empirical formulas have a problem of accuracy and hydraulic experiments of cost and duration. In addition, performance-based design, which may be popularized as a new design concept in the near future, requires much more information than that obtained by empirical formulas and laboratory tests. Thus, numerical simulation may become more important hereafter for structure design. (omitted)

The study explored empirically user participatory design methods for realizing user demand efficiently and evaluating alternatives systematically by using design indicators such as the design quality indicators system of the UK. In the empirical exploratory process utilizing design indicators, the study selected design indicators, and conducted a survey of design realization methods, evaluation methods, and user participatory design utilizing design indicators. Also, concerning the empirical exploratory process, it can be classified into a preliminary survey aimed at those majoring in architecture; a user group survey aimed at elementary school students, parents, and teachers; and a professional group survey aimed at professionals in architecture. In particular, the study carried out the survey for the empirical exploratory process of user participatory design by combining on-line and off-line methods.

The parameters for an empirical net atomic charge calculation method, Modified Partial Equalization of Orbital Electronegativity (MPEOE), were determined for the atoms in organosilicon compounds and zeolites. For the organosilicon family, the empirical parameters were determined by introducing both experimental and ab initio observables as constraints, these are the experimental and ab initio dipole moments, and the ab initio electrostatic potential of the organosilicon molecules. The Mulliken population was also introduced though it is not a quantum mechanical observable. For the parameter optimization of the atoms in the aluminosilicates, the dipole moments and the electrostatic potentials which calculated from the 6-31G** ab initio wave function were used as constraints. The empirically calculated atomic charges of the organosilicons could reproduce both the experimental and the ab inito dipole moments well. The empirical atomic charges of the aluminosilicates could reproduce the ab initio electrostatic potentials well also.

Despite considerable commitment to the application of action learning as an organization development intervention, no identified systematic investigation of action learning practices has been reported. Based on a systematic literature review, the purpose of this paper is to identify whether researchers strike a balance between action and learning in their studies of action learning. Research findings in this study included: (1) only 32 empirical studies were found from the electronic database search; (2) based on the hypothesized continuum of Revans' original proposition of balancing action and learning, the author categorized 32 studies into three groups: action-oriented, learning-oriented, and balanced action learning; (3) there were only nine studies on balanced action learning among 32 empirical studies, whose insights included an effective use of project teams, applications of action learning for organization development, and key success factors such as time, reflection, and management support; (4) case study was among the most frequently used research method and only six quality studies met key methodological traits; and (5) therefore, more rigorous empirical research employing quantitative methods as well as case studies is needed to determine whether researchers strike a balance between action and learning in studies on action learning.

본 연구에서는 유역 집중시간과 저류상수의 이론적 배경을 바탕으로 적절한 경험식의 형태를 제시하고 기존의 경험식의 형태와 비교 평가하였다. 추가로, 제시된 경험식의 형태를 이용하여 충주댐 유역의 집중시간 및 저류상수의 경험식을 유도하고, 유도된 경험식과 기존의 경험식들을 비교하였다. 그 결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. (1) 유역의 집중시간에 대한 경험공식의 형태는 유로연장의 제곱에 비례하고 유로경사에 반비례하는 형태로 나타난다. (2) 저류상수는 집중시간에 비례하는 형태로 나타난다. (3) 기존 매개변수에 관한 경험식을 검토한 결과, 집중시간의 경우에는 Kirpich 공식, Kraven (I) 공식, Kraven (II) 공식, California DoT 공식, Kerby 공식, SCS 공식 및 Morgali and Linsley 공식 등이 이러한 이론적 배경을 잘 따르고 있는 것으로 나타난다. 저류상수의 경우, Clark 공식, Russell 공식, Sabol 공식 및 정성원 공식 등이 본 저류상수와 집중시간의 비례관계를 매우 잘 만족하는 것으로 나타난다. (4) 기존의 경험식을 충주댐 유역에 적용한 결과, 집중시간의 경험식 중 정성원 공식, 윤태훈 등 공식, Kraven (I) 공식 및 Kraven (II) 공식은 추정한 집중시간과 비교적 유사한 결과를 보였으나, Rziha 공식은 비정상적인 결과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 저류상수의 경우에는 윤석영과 홍일표 공식, 정성원 공식, 이정식 등 공식 및 윤태훈 등 공식이 어느 정도 합리적인 결과를 보인 반면, Sabol 공식의 경우에는 비정상적인 결과가 유도되었다. 결론적으로 국내의 집중시간 및 저류상수에 대한 경험공식이 국내 유역의 특성을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다.

Most of dams and reservoirs were made from natural materials, such as soil, sand and gravel. This type of hydraulic structure has the danger of collapse by overflow during a flood. Freeboard is the vertical distance between the crest of the dam and the full supply level in the reservoir. It must be sufficient to prevent overtopping from over flow. Thus, freeboard determination involves engineering judgment, statistical analysis, and consideration of the damage that would result from the overtopping of a hydraulic structure. This study attempts to calculate the wave height in dam, which is needed for the determination of the freeboard of the dam. Chung-ju dam is selected as the study area. Using the empirical formulas, the wave heights in dam were calculated, and the results were compared with those by the SWAN model, which is a typical wave model. The difference between the calculated results from the empirical formulas and those by the SWAN model is considerably large. This is because empirical equations consider only fetch or fetch and wind velocity, while the SWAN model considers depth and topography data as well.

Aiming at accurately distinguishing modeless component and natural vibration mode terms from data series of nonlinear and non-stationary processes, such as Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV), a new empirical mode decomposition method has been developed in this paper. The key innovation related to this technique concerns the method to decompose modeless component from non-stationary process, characterized by a predetermined 'maximum intrinsic time window' and cubic spline. The introduction of conceptual modeless component eliminates the requirement of using spurious harmonics to represent nonlinear and non-stationary signals and then makes subsequent modal identification more accurate and meaningful. It neither slacks the vibration power of natural modes nor aggrandizes spurious energy of modeless component. The scale of the maximum intrinsic time window has been well designed, avoiding energy aliasing in data processing. Finally, it has been applied to analyze data series of vortex-induced vibration processes. Taking advantage of this newly introduced empirical decomposition method and mode identification technique, the vibration analysis about vortex-induced vibration becomes more meaningful.

The study suggests a contract model of application operation through case study of A bank's IT outsourcing application contract based on workload. The IT outsourcing order form has a problem in that the scope of work is ambiguous due to the integration of operation and maintenance. In this study, application operation and maintenance were separated by referring to application operation history provided in ISO/IEC15504-5 standard. The scope of the IT outsourcing service was clarified by organizing the definition and detail activities of the application operation business. Application operation contract method has generally applied estimation method by the number of input manpower and period by agreement between buyer and client. As there is no activity to calculate the number of input manpower based on the operational work history and based on the standard workload per activity. In this case is not guaranteed due to the simple agreement between the contractors. In this paper, we propose an application operating cost estimation model that measures the size of the operating software using function point analysis that is the basis of application operation tasks. In order to verify the validity of the application operation cost model, we verified the correlation between the application size and the labor cost through regression analysis using SPSS.

The paper illustrates a possible application of control theory to an economic growth system. Simultaneous nonlinear system of differential equations has been modeled which is different from the traditional formulation, based on the theory of economic growth for a two-sector (dual) economy. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the optimal control are derived directly from the Hamiltonian, and the optimal controls are also obtained by solving simultaneous equations. Obtaining the trajectories of the optimal control and state variables, however, should rely on the numerical procedures. Empirical application has been conducted for the case of the Korean economy as an illustration.
