There is a chilled ceiling panel which carries out the air conditioning by radiation and convection between the room and cold ceiling panel surface. In order to verify heat transfer characteristics between them in cooling system with radiant chilled ceiling panel, analytical and experimental studies were performed for various design and operating parameters such as tube space and diameter, inlet water temperature, mass flow rate, cooling load, and so on. In this study, we found that the tube space and inlet water temperature were more important elements than the tube diameter and water flow rate for the performance of radiant chilled ceiling panel. The cooling capacity of the radiant chilled ceiling panel had the maximum value of $65W/m^{2}$ because the highest cooling capacity was limited by the condensation on the panel surface. The results of comparison between numerical analysis and experiment showed a resonable agreement qualitatively, especially for low cooling capacity.

Fiber drain(FD), which is made of organic fibers from jute and coir, has recently been used in several construction projects in the Southeast and East Asia region involving the soil improvement of reclamation fills overlying marine clay. FD is an environmentally friendly product that will naturally be biodegraded into soil after the completion of performance duration as a vertical drain. However, the conventional FD has limited and low-ranged discharge capacity compared to PVD. For this, in this study, the improvement of FD was attempted and new shaped FDs were evaluated by laboratory tests. A series of discharge capacity test was performed to investigate the functional applicability for several types of FDs.

Motivated by recent works on spectrum-sharing systems, this paper investigates the effects of transmit diversity on the peak interference power limited cognitive radio(CR) networks. In particular, we derive the ergodic and outage capacities of a spectrum-sharing system with multiple transmit-antennas. To derive the capacities, peak interference power constraint is imposed to protect the primary receiver. In a CR transmitter and receiver pair with multiple antennas at the transmitter side, the allowable transmit power is distributed over the transmit-antennas to achieve transmit diversity at the receiver. We investigate the effect of this power distribution when a peak interference power constraint is imposed to protect the primary receiver. We show that the transmit diversity does not improve the ergodic capacity compared to the single-antenna system. On the other hand, the transmit diversity significantly improves the outage capacity. For example, two transmit-antennas improve the outage capacity 10 times compared to the single-antenna with a 0 dB interference constraint.

A hospital's intensive care unit (ICU) is a limited and critical resource whose efficient utilization of capacity impacts on both the welfare of patients and the hospital's cost effectiveness. Decisions made in the ICU affect the operations of other departments. Yet, decision making in an ICU tends to be mainly subjective and lacking in clear criteria upon which to base any given decision. The study reviews the capacity utilization of one particular ICU, that of a public hospital in Hong Kong, and develops a computer simulation model to improve both the unit's capacity utilization and the quality of care provided to its patients.

A major challenge in network service providers is to provide adequate resources in service level agreements based on forecasts of future demands. In this paper, we address the problem of capacity provisioning in a network subject to demand uncertainty such that a network coded multicast is applied as the data delivery mechanism with limited budget to purchase extra capacity. We address some particular type of uncertainty sets that obtain a tractable constrained capacity provisioning problem. For this reason, we first formulate a mathematical model for the problem under uncertain demand. Then, a robust optimization model is proposed for the problem to optimize the worst-case system performance. The robustness and effectiveness of the developed model are demonstrated by numerical results. The robust solution achieves more than 10% reduction and is better than the deterministic solution in the worst case.

Even though many computational methods (recursive formulae) for blocking probabilities in finite-capacity M/D/1 queues have already been produced, these are forms of transforms or are limited to single-node queues. Using a distinctly different approach from the usual queueing theory, this study introduces explicit (transform-free) formulae for a blocking probability, a stationary probability, and mean sojourn time under either production or communication blocking policy. Additionally, the smallest buffer capacity subject to a given blocking probability can be determined numerically from these formulae. With proper selection of the overall offered load ${\rho}$, the approach described herein can be applicable to more general queues from a computational point of view if the explicit expressions of random vector $D_n$ are available.

본 논문에서는 제한된 피드백 정보를 사용하는 공간 다중화 기법에 사용될 수 있는 부 공간 방식 기반 preceding 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 preceding 기법은 수신기에서 다수의 공통 기저 집합(common basis sets)으로부터 용량을 최대로 하는 기저들을 선택하고, 선택된 기저들은 feedback 정보를 통해 송신기에 전달되고, 송신기에서는 선택된 기저들로 이루어진 precoding 행렬을 구성한다. 선택된 기저들은 해당 기저들이 속한 기저 집합의 index에 대한 feedback 정의와 선택된 기저 집합에서 각 기저들의 선택 여부에 대한 feedback 정보를 통해 송신기로 feedback된다. 선택된 기저 집합 index는 송수신기가 약속한 공통 기저 집합중에서 해당 MIMO 채널의 부 공간의 좌표(coordinate)에 가장 적합한 좌표를 나타내고, 해당 좌표에서 상당한 양의 에너지를 포함하는 기저들을 선택함으로써 적은 feedback 정보량으로 MIMO 채널을 묘사하다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 부 공간 방식 기반 precoding 기법이 적은 feedback 정보량을 사용하면서 폐루프 MIMO 용량 (closed-loop MIMO capacity)에 근접하는 용량을 제공함을 보인다.

An analysis model for predicting the tip bearing capacity of drilled shafts in cohesionless soils is improved in this study. The evaluation is based on large amounts of drilled shaft load test data. Assessment on the analysis model reveals a greater variation in two coefficients, namely, the overburden bearing capacity factor ($N_q$) and the bearing capacity modifier for soil rigidity (${\zeta}_{qr}$). These factors are modified from the back analysis of drilled shaft load test results. Different effective shaft depths and interpreted capacities at various loading stages (i.e., low, middle, and high) are adopted for the back calculation. Results show that the modified bearing capacity coefficients maintain their basic relationship with soil effective friction angle ($\bar{\phi}$), in which the $N_q$ increases and ${\zeta}_{qr}$ decreases as $\bar{\phi}$ increases. The suggested effective shaft depth is limited to 15B (B = shaft diameter) for the evaluation of effective overburden pressure. Specific design recommendations for the tip bearing capacity analysis of drilled shafts in cohesionless soils are given for engineering practice.

For the determination of a reservoir capacity Rippl's mass-curve method has long been used with the past river flow data assuming the same flow records will be repeated in the future. This study aims to find out a better method for determining the reservoir capacity by employing the analytical theory based on the stochastic process. For the present study the synthetic generation methods of Thomas-Fiering type was used to synthetically generate 50 years of monthly river inflows to three single-purpose reservoirs and three multi-purpose reservoirs. The generated sequences of monthly flows were analyzed based on the range concept. With the optimum operation rule of the reservoirs as the one which maximizes the water-use downstream the waterrelease from the reservoir was determined and with due consideration to the mean inflows and the range of monthly flows the required reservoirs capacity was stochastically determined. It was possible to repersent the so-determined reservoir capacity in terms of the mean monthly inflows and the number of subseries in the determination of ranges. It is suggested that the result obtained in this study would be applied to approximately estimate, in the stage of preliminary design, the required capacity of a reservoir in question with the limited information such as the mean monthly inflow and the period of reservoir operation.

셀 커버리지 향상과 단위 면적당 무선 용량의 증대를 위해 셀룰러 이동 통신 시스템에 다양한 크기와 전송전력을 갖는 다수의 네트워크이 혼재하는 이기종 네트워크의 개념이 도입되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이기종 네트워크의 하향링크에서 모든 셀이 동일한 무선 자원을 공유하고, 일부 소형 셀에서는 백홀 링크의 용량에 제한이 있는 경우를 고려한다. 이 때 모든 사용자의 주어진 트래픽을 정해진 시간 내에 전송해야 하는 QoS요구 사항을 만족시키면서 동시에 전체 시스템에서의 무선 자원 사용량을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 셀 선택 문제를 정식화하고, 그 최적 해를 찾기 위한 분산 알고리즘을 제안한다. 해당 알고리즘은 일부 소형셀의 백홀 링크에서 병목현상이 발생하였을 경우, 백홀 용량에 여유가 있는 인접 셀로 사용자를 오프로딩 하도록 동작함으로써 기존 방식과 대비할 때 제한된 무선 자원 및 백홀 링크 용량에 맞추어 더 많은 사용자의 QoS를 지원할 수 있음을 확인한다.
