  • Domestic plant construction sites have a tendency to become bigger, more various and complicated. Moreover frequency of industrial incident is increasing due to short project period, coexistence work condition and using heavy construction equipment. Installing safety facilities and safety training contribute to prevent incident. But mostly incident happens due to workers' unsafe action and wrong work method. Technically, it is very difficult for us to closely manage workers preventing incident. Therefore, the role of foreman who ordinarily works together with his workers is considered more important. Specific execution plan was drawn through industrial incident statistics from Ministry of Labor and questionnaire survey to interest parties(supervisor, safety staff and foreman). If foreman has raised sense of belonging and responsibility by conducting practical safety training for his workers, manages job site and receives proper compensation for these roles, it will be expected that it fully influences incident decrease.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze technical manpower management problems that were made by specialized construction company, centering on the field of machinery and equipments, to offer an improvement of technical manpower management. For this study, the adapted research method select owners&foremans on 18 specialized construction company by machinery&equipment services and on-site supervisors on general contractor and then investigate the problem of contract and subcontract by survey. After analyzing the actual state of management, it present an improvement of technical manpower management. The results of this research are as follows. 1) It is analyzed foreman had a number of difficulty for dealing manpower management because of subordinate relationship between supervisor and foreman. 2) The improvement of technical manpower management is concluded that foreman is to be on- site proxy supervisor or to be hired by an annual salary.

  • Recently, personal characteristics of organizational members arc regarded as an important factor that affects performance of organization. In addition, job stress is attributed to one of main factors that result in poor work ability and high turnover rate. In this study, job stress, work ability and DISC personality types were surveyed targeting 292 of foreman in shipbuilding company. The relationships between job stress and personal characteristics including personality types and correlation between job stress and work ability were analyzed based on the result of survey. As a result of statistical analysis, there were six statistically significant relationships between job stress and age, job tenure, work type, hobbies, exercise, personality types. On the other hand, there was a statistically significant relationship between work ability and exercise. Furthermore, negative correlation between job stress and work ability were found. In accordance with these analysis, this study presented how to improve work ability by managing job stress items and personal characteristics that affect the stress and the stress level.

  • In order to understand the tidal hydrodynamics of the Yellow Sea and Parts of the East China Sea, we have developed a three-dimensional, fine resolution, nonlinear, harmonic finite element model. Major four tidal constituents, M$_2$, S$_2$, K$_1$ and O$_1$ are used as forcing along the open boundary. Due to the shallowness of the region, tidal results are strongly affected by the bottom roughness coefficients, especially for the quadratic form. (omitted)

  • Free from the industrial accident is the goal from top manager to foreman. Therefore all the company try to prevent occupational accident using system safety program in order to increase productivity Korean industries have been tend to depending upon historical information to control risk. The other hand, foreign industries have been Identify risk factors using system safety techniques to predict future risk. Therefore, this study is presented to applying the foreign industries's risk control technique to korean industries.

  • Deblocking Filter (DF) is newly introduced into H.264/AVC to remove blocky artifacts. It improves the picture quality and the improved picture is set to the frame buffer for motion compensation. As a result, higher coding efficiency is achieved by DF. However, if the original image has heavily-slanted patterns, DF removes the edges to be kept because it is applied only perpendicularly to the block boundaries. In this paper, we propose Edge Adaptive Deblocking Filter (EADF) which is applied not only for the perpendicular but also for several slanted directions to deal with the problem. Simulation results showed us that EADF was especially effective for the sequence "Foreman" with PSNR gain of 0.04 dB.

  • This paper presents an efficient operational technique of material feeding process, trainning for multi-operations, machine conditions, and role of foreman and material-supplying man, for constructing the flexible assembly cells in the domestic electronic industries. And an practical method for computing the number of economical cells is also presented by the cost-effective model that compares the additional assembly machine requirement with the four reductive effects including WIP/finished goods inventory, the troubles in the assembly line, the opportunity loss for small order quantity, and amounts of production management due to the introduction of cell line. An case study is introduced in for a domestic electronic assembly line at the end.

  • The Grout-reinforcement technique which is widely used during the excavation of a shallow or an endangered tunnel can be classified into a couple of groups according to the properties and injection methods of the grout. The reinforcement design will, therefore, take a different approach based on the grouting method under consideration. However, the injection procedure is mainly performed by the experience of the foreman rather than engineering judgement , specifically the permeation grouting through the rock joints and its reinforcement effect Is not fully under-stood during the design stage, In this study, the anisotropic material properties of the grout-reinforced rock masses are derived from the concept of composite materials and the effect of intact rock, vertical grouting and permeation grouting is, therefore, fully accounted for. Through the parametric studies on the characteristics of rock joints, intact rock and grouting materials, various case studies have been considered. The results, illustrated via the design charts, can be directly used during the reinforcement design.

  • The increasing demands on low-power, and low-complexity video encoder have been motivating extensive research activities on distributed video coding (DVC) in which the encoder compresses frames without utilizing inter-frame statistical correlation. In DVC encoder, contrary to the conventional video encoder, an error control code compresses the video frames by representing the frames in the form of syndrome bits. In the meantime, the DVC decoder generates side information which is modeled as a noisy version of the original video frames, and a decoder of the error-control code corrects the errors in the side information with the syndrome bits. The noisy observation, i.e., the side information can be understood as the output of a virtual channel corresponding to the orignal video frames, and the conditional probability of the virtual channel model is assumed to follow a Laplacian distribution. Thus, performance improvement of DVC systems depends on performances of the error-control code and the optimal reconstruction step in the DVC decoder. In turn, the performances of two constituent blocks are directly related to a better estimation of the parameter of the correlation channel. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to estimate the parameter of the correlation channel and also a low-complexity version of the proposed algorithm. In particular, the proposed algorithm minimizes squared-error of the Laplacian probability distribution and the empirical observations. Finally, we show that the conventional algorithm can be improved by adopting a confidential window. The proposed algorithm results in PSNR gain up to 1.8 dB and 1.1 dB on Mother and Foreman video sequences, respectively.
