How to maintain the optimal electric power generation mix is one of the important problems in electric power industry. The objective of this study is to develop a computer model which can be used to forecast the investment in power generation unit by the plant owners after restructuring of electric power industry. Restructuring of electric power industry will make difference in decision making process of investment in power generation unit. After Privatiazation of Power Industry, Gencos will think that profit is the most important factor among all others attracting the investment in the industry. Coal power generation is better than LNG CCGT in terms of profit. However, many studies show that LNG CCGT will be main electric power generation source because the rest of factors other than profit in LNG CCGT are superior than Coal power generation. The impacts of the various government policies can be analyzed using the computer model, thus the government can formulate effective policies for achieving the desired electric power generation mix.

IC testing plays a very important role in IC manufacturing process. Modern complex ASIC chips making it difficult for gate level and RLT level test generation techniques to generate good test vector in resonable time. In this paper we proposed new test pattern generation method in VHDL description to detect manufacturing faults. This method based on software testing can easily generate test vector and independent to synthesis result.

Under an open transmission access, the generation dispatch is determined by the bidding process of market participants. Congestion occurs when the dispatch would result in the violation of operational constraints. Congestion problem is formulated and solved by OPF(optimal power flow) calculation. The objective functions in OPF are given as quadratic cost functions or piecewise linear functions of bidding functions. In this study, the optimization technique of generation dispatch is presented for the combination of two types of quadratic and linear cost functions.

A new grid-based approach is presented for automatic generation of hexahedral meshes for simulation of plastic deformation in metal forming. In this approach, special enveloping schemes are applied, to eradicate the sources of the degenerate elements that may appear in a generated mesh. The schemes are described in detail, along with a complete procedure for mesh generation. The capability of the approach to deal with an arbitrary, 3-D process geometry is demonstrated through application to a selected forming problem.

A tetrahedral mesh generation scheme using 3-D operators has been presented. The proposed scheme employs new 3-D operators such as rearranging and modified finishing operators in addition to the previous trimming, wedging, digging, splitting and finishing operators. These new operators have been introduced in order to increase the stability of mesh generation process. Check processings with surrounded element edges and faces have also been optimized by employing a searching algorithm. Sample meshes are constructed to demonstrate the mesh generating capability of the proposed algorithm.

Recently, quantum-dots light emitting diodes (QLEDs) are considered as a next-generation display due to the superior luminescence behaviors, photo stability and narrow spectral emission bandwidth. Moreover, the emission color of QLEDs can be easily controlled by changing the dimension of quantum dots (QDs). A flexible display based on QLEDs can be achieved using low-cost solution process, such as a printing technology. Therefore, QLEDs are expected as a next generation display. In this document, recent progresses in QDs technology will be introduced.

Chlor-alkali industry is one of the largest electrochemical processes which annually producing 70 million tons of sodium hydroxide and chlorine from sodium chloride solution. $DSA^{(R)}$ (Dimensionally Stable Anodes) electrodes such as $RuO_2$ and $IrO_2$, which is popular in chlor-alkali process, have been investigated to improve the chlorine generation efficiency. Although DSA electrode has been developed with various researches, understanding of the chlorine evolution mechanism is essential to the development of highly efficient DSA electrode. In this review paper, chlorine generation mechanisms are summarized and that of key factors are identified to systematically understand the chlorine generation mechanism. Rate determining step, effect of pH, reaction intermediate, and electrode crystal structure were intensively overviewed as key factors of the chlorine mechanism.

Objectives: It is well known that aging and aging-related diseases are linked to the increased level of oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species(ROS) and reactive nitrogen species(RNS). Nonprotein-SH decreases during aging, while substances such as ROS, nitric oxide(NO), peroxynitrite($ONOO^-$), myeloperoxidase(MPO), and dityrosine show a significant increase. This study investigated the effect of Ichungwhan on the aging process by examining its effect on the generation of the above-mentioned substances. Methods: Four comparison groups of SD rats were used. They were 6 month-old rats, 24 month-old rats, and 24 month-old rats fed with food containing 0.1% and 0.3% of Ichungwhan extract. The amount of NO, $ONOO^-$, and ROS in the rats' kidneys were examined using a fluorescence microplate reader. The reagents used for this purpose include: dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR 123), 2',7' -dichlorodihydrofluorescein, diacetate(DCFDA), and 4,5-diaminofluorescein(DAF-2). A spectrophotometer was used to investigate the reactivity of nonprotein-SH and myeioperoxidase(MPO), using reagents such as trichloroacetic acid(TCA) and tetramethylbenzidine(TMB). The amounts of MPO protein and dityrosine were measued by western blot. Results: The observed effects of Ichungwhan on rats were as follows: increase of nonprotein-SH; effective decrease of RNS level by suppression of the generation system of $ONOO^-$ and NO; decrease of ROS level; decrease of the MPO reactivity and the subsequent reduction of amount of MPO protein; retardation of dityrosine formation. It can be hypothesized, therefore, that Ichungwhan affects both the earlier and later phases of the molecular inflammatory process, and retards the aging process. Conclusions: Empirical evidence in this study supports a role for Ichungwhan in generation mechanisms of aging process-linked substances ROS, NO, $ONOO^-$, nonprotein-SH, MPO and dityrosine. Affects contrary to the aging process observed in rats beg further empiricism to investigate potential application of Ichungwhan as a medication for age-related diseases in humans.

This Paper makes an attempt to suggest a process of automatically generating application software based on the Entity-Relationship model 1. The designer develops an E-R model of an real-world system. 2. The designer inputs the entity and relationship types, and attributes shown in the E-R model, and also the basic operations of the application system to the software generator. 3. The application generator produces database schema and link information between application programs, and then automatically generates a stereo-type application system. In order for the automated application generator to build the application system in a systematic way, four basic program generation rules have been suggested. A set of computer programs have been developed in order to show the applicability of the automated software generation process suggested in this paper. By following each rule with the generator, the designer can build an application in an efficient manner compared with traditional (manual programming) approaches. It has been demonstrated from the case study that the idea of applying an automated generator in systems development based upon the E-R model is feasible.

This paper is presented to prepare NGN quality assurance management process under the quality system test methodology. The process should be drawn for NGN quality measurement framework of multimedia traffic. NGN test bed management process model are QoS measurement metrics, measurement interval meter above, and measuring tools, measuring equipment, measurement methods and measurement results from a series of processes for the analysis and methodology. This model, NGN quality assurance activities should be utilized in the future. Quality target level only when themselves constantly measured and managed, does not guarantee the communication quality of service. It is sensitive to the importance of NGN network technology paradigm for research on quality management in the NGN.
