The purpose of this paper is to show general steps of developing better measures for the survey questionnaire. The steps introduced can be adopted by researchers in disciplines such as management, psychology, behavioral science, etc. As an exemplary case, the customer-supplier relationship is used to show suggested steps in great detail. Several suggested steps and techniques are selected after carefully reviewing the works of previous researchers such as Churchill (1979), DeVellis (1993), Dunn et al. (1994), Hayes (1994),which are explained in depth in the following sections, are: (1) specify domain of construct, (2) generate sample of items, (3) pilot study, (4) data collection, (5) assess reliability and validity.

In this paper, an integrated system of optimal design, performance evaluation, and die design and manufacturing of axial fans for cooling tower is presented. The design and performance evaluation are developed based on three dimensional flow analysis so as to ensure low noise and high efficiency. The methodologies are implemented on computer as a GUI system including 3-D surface modeling and 2-D drawing file output modules. The CAD/CAM system is engaged to design the die and generate NC tool path, but the processes are also automated and integrated into the system by means of a part program coded from the design data. It is shown that the newly developed fans have superior performance and shortened lead-time compared to the existing dead-copied fans.

In this paper. we propose an algorithm to automatically generate a novel scene along the alternated viewing positions using the bidirectional disparity morphing. To compute the disparity between two reference images, we use the 2-step block based matching algorithm and define three occluding patterns so as to smooth the computed disparities, especially for occluded regions. We discuss the advantages of this algorithm compared to the commonly used schemes and show some experimental results with real data.

In this paper, we develop a TMS320C31- 60 DSP board to generate spiral gradient waveforms for Spiral imaging, one of the ultra fast MRI methods. In Spiral imaging, accurate gradient waveforms are very important to acquire high quality image. For this purpose, sampling rate for generating the gradient waveforms is set twice as high as the data sampling rate. With the developed DSP board accurate gradient waveforms are obtained. Ultra fast MR image with the developed DSP board is currently under development.

This research presents a new method of detecting and diagnosing faults of a power plant. Detection of characteristic wave patterns from multichannel instrumentation signals forms the basis of the proposed approach. The dynamics of 500MW drum-type boiler (Boryung coal-fired plant unit #1 and #2) and its control systems are modeled and simulated to generate diverse operation patterns and fault situations and to utilize them for the development of the fault detection algorithms. The results of the boiler system modeling and simulations show a fairly high agreement when compared with some of the actual plant performance test data.

A model combining multi-dimensional discretized population balance equations with a computational fluid dynamics simulation (CFD-DPBE model) was developed and applied to simulate turbulent flocculation and sedimentation processes in sediment retention basins. Computation fluid dynamics and the discretized population balance equations were solved to generate steady state flow field data and simulate flocculation and sedimentation processes in a sequential manner. Up-to-date numerical algorithms, such as operator splitting and LeVeque flux-corrected upwind schemes, were applied to cope with the computational demands caused by complexity and nonlinearity of the population balance equations and the instability caused by advection-dominated transport. In a modeling and simulation study with a two-dimensional simplified pond system, applicability of the CFD-DPBE model was demonstrated by tracking mass balances and floc size evolutions and by examining particle/floc size and solid concentration distributions. Thus, the CFD-DPBE model may be used as a valuable simulation tool for natural and engineered flocculation and sedimentation systems as well as for flocculant-aided sediment retention ponds.

A job sequencing model is developed and its computer system is tested for processing cold-rolled coils in Tandem Cold Mills(TCM) at the Pohang Iron and Steel Company. Given coils waiting to be processed, this system generates a sequence of jobs satisfying operational constraints for the TCM process. We formulate the problem as a constraint satisfaction problem and employ the backtracking technique combined with looking ahead features in order to generate a feasible solution within a reasonable time. Our system is implemented in C language on 80486-based IBM PC. Some tests based on the real data show that our system is adequate with respect to search time and that it consistantly generates a good feasible solution.

In this study, we measured and analyzed electrical noise signals present in devices and systems operated in industrial facilities. Based on the analytic findings, we studied the most effective improvement measures for eliminating such noise signals. Leakage current and ground current generate data interferences in communication systems, and therefore we measured leakage current and ground current. We also measured and analyzed electrical noises in power systems to predict noise pathways and interference routes. Furthermore, we proposed the most effective and reliable improvement measures for blocking off various noise signals and safely eliminating them by improving the internal wiring of the facilities and grounding systems. As a final step, we conducted the proposed improvement measures and confirmed that they helped to improve the operations of the device sand systems in service by re-measuring electrical noise signals and comparing them with those measured before the proposed improvement measures were implemented.

This paper gives a basic Energy performance data of micro gas turbine and Renewable Energy(BIPV and Solar Collector System) installed in Hospital Building. The efficiency of. solar collector and BIPV system was 30%, 10% individually, and lower than micro gas turbines. Micro gas turbines are small gas turbines that bum gaseous and liquid fuels to produce a high-energy exhaust gas and to generate the electrical power. Recently the size range for micro gas turbines is form 30 to 500kW and power-only generation or in combined heat and power(CHP) systems. If micro gas turbine was operated only for electric energy, the efficiency was about 30%, but for combined heat and power, the efficiency was about 90%. Finally, installed in large hospital, Micro gas turbine system was operated to CHP mode, was high-efficiency system than Solar collector and BIPV system.

Most design temperature of environmental test in korea is based on the standard of Department of Defense. There are few studies to establish temperature standard. Besides the representative environmental test guide 'MIL-STD-810F' encourage to tailor to generate the most relevant test data possible and to test to make a match of test environment with operational environment. Under these circumstances, it is irrational to comply with baseless daily cycle. Thus the study about design method of test temperature is essential. So, the daily cycles to be appropriate to the Korean peninsula was presented in this study. And this research shows how to derive two main element, frequency-of-occurrence and daily maximum (minimum) temperature in daily cycles, in case we can not find the daily cycle.
