Optimal screening procedures with dichotomous performance variable T and continuous screening variable X are presented for assuring with a specified degree of confidence that at least ${\ell}$ out of m items found acceptable in screening inspection are conforming. It is assumed that T is a Bernoulli random variable and that the conditional distribution of X given T=t is normal. When m is also to be determined, optimal m and cut-off value of X minimizing the total expected cost are obtained. Cases of known and unknown parameters are considered and for unknown parameter cases, Bayesian approaches are used to find the optimal screening procedures.

This research focuses on the development and empirical validation of a model of software piracy behavior on the basis of deterrence theory, expected utility theory and the theory of reasoned action. The total of sample numbered 86 and PLS (Partial Least Square) was utilized for analysis. The test of this study revealed that punishment severity was the greatest significant factor to influence to software piracy and subjective norms was also significantly related to it. However punishment certainty and software cost do not significantly affect to software piracy.

The structural characteristics of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer tubes were studied. The concept of concrete-filled composite columns was introduced to overcome the corrosion problems associated with steel and concrete piles under severe environments. Other benefits of composite columns include low maintenance cost, high earthquake resistance, and long expected endurance period. Several experiments were conducted; 1) compression test for short-length composite columns, 2) uniaxial compression tests on a total of 7 columns with various slenderness ratios. Short-length columns give higher strength and ductility revealing high confinement action in concrete. Failure strengths, failure patterns, confinement effects, and stress-strains relations were analyzed for slender columns. Current study will show the feasibility of concrete-filled glass fiber reinforced polymer composite columns in corrosive environments, and will provide an experimental database for columns that are externally reinforced by multidirectional fibers.

This article concerns the problem of determining the optimal spare inventory level for multiechelon repairable-item inventory system. The system we are concerned has several bases and a central depot. When an item fails, it is dispatched to a repair facility and, a spare, if available, is plugged in immediately. When the failed item is repaired, it is sent to the base and either used to fill a backorder or stored at a spare inventory point. We develop an optimal algorithm to find the spare inventory level at each base spareswhich minimizes the total expected cost and, simultaneously, satisfies a specified minimum service rate. The algorithm is applied to examples with good results.

KT will deploy HSPA+/CCC network in this year to handle data explosion. CCC is an evolutionary wireless network architecture which divides a node B into baseband and radio part. By collecting baseband units in a digital unit central station and installing only remote units on desired sites, the operator can reduce the total cost of ownership and $CO_2$ emission. In this paper, we describe some expected problems in deploying HSPA+/CCC network, and how to implement the wireless network planning system to solve them effectively.

This paper considers a machine maintenance problem. The machine's condition is partially known by observing the machine's output products. This problem is formulated as an infinite horizon partially observable Markov decison process to find an optimal maintenance policy. However, even though the optimal policy of the model exists, finding the optimal policy is very time consuming. Thus, the intends of this study is to find ${\varepsilon}-optimal$ stationary policy minimizing the expected discounted total cost of the system, ${\varepsilon}-optimal$ policy is found by using a modified version of the well-known policy iteration algorithm. A numerical example is also shown.

This paper introduces the development of the analysis and design program of valve train system. In order to verify the stability of design and improve the performance of system efficiently, it is required that integrated and interactive simulation program. The presented program is developed in the base of the object-oriented, capsulation, modulization, OLE (objected linking and embedding) and various design theory. It contains the expandability and flexibility of the structure. In addition to that, it is programmed to make the convenient user interface by using the visualization programming. This program can support the modification of the valve element as well as the development of the valve train system in the beginning of design. It is expected to save the cost and time for the design of valve train system.

Biomass is one of the most competitive renewable energy resource and can be used for heating for rural applications. A economic assessment was made of biomass heating, using the tool BIOH2000 from $RETScreen^{\circledR}$ International Clean Energy Decision Support Centre. For a 260kW heating system for 50 farm houses, the assessment showed a very promising results. Internal rate of return was $19.7\%$ and year-to-positive cash flow was 5.1 years. Relative price of biomass over fossil fuel significantly affected the economic feasibility of the project. Heating demand was directly related to annual demand of biomass and economic feasibility. Relative cost of distribution pipe over the total initial costs also affected the economic feasibility of the project. The economic feasibility was expected to be improved by the probable greenhouse emission reduction credit and reduction of initial costs through utilizing existing heating system for peak or back up heating system.

This paper concerns the problem of determining the spare inventory level for multi-echelon repairable-item inventory system with finite number of operating items. We consider the system which has several bases and a central depot. When an item fails, it is dispatched to a repair facility and, a spare, if available, is plugged in immediately. When the failed item is repaired, it is sent to the base and either is used to fill a backorder or is stored at a spare inventory point. Using queueing network, we develop an algorithm to find the spare inventory level which minimizes the total expected cost and, simultaneously, satisfies a specified minimum fill rate. The results of the algorithm clearly indicate that the algorithm successfully generate output with optimal solution.

In this paper, we introduce the status of concentration photovoltaic system. Currently, crystalline silicon solar has 90% of total solar market. But in a few years, the concentration solar system is expected to be main one because cost increasement of silicon material is not stabilized unit now. At 2012, it will take 5% of the whole solar market. Less expensive, material requirement and high system efficiency give high driving force for intensive research on concentration system. It is time for us to initiate the basic study and evaluate the long term stability compared to crystalline silicon system. The detail discussion will be shown in the following paper.
