Purpose: The study attempts to explore the operational performance of the existing Malaysian logistics companies and the extent of their adoption of digitalization. The role of digitalization in enhancing the performance of companies in the logistics industry in Malaysia, for value creation, is the topic of study. Research design, data and methodology: A qualitative research method with a semi-structured interview approach was applied and judgmental sampling was used as the sampling technique to collect data. The research has chosen nine companies in the logistics industry in Peninsular Malaysia, with the interviews aimed at eleven members of top and middle-level management. Data analysis was performed using logical system techniques to examine and evaluate data, reorganizing feedback, comparing it with literature, and transforming it into structured, valuable information after interviews. Results: The study revealed mixed opinions on digitalization in logistics, despite its potential benefits such as improved operational efficiency, real-time information, and customer service. However, high costs may hinder financial performance and require revisions due to stakeholder involvement. Conclusions: The Malaysian logistics industry's adoption of digitalization is gaining traction, with most companies satisfied with their status. However, challenges like cost and inefficiency persist, prompting calls for government support to improve efficiency and reduce costs while ensuring sustainable transportation.

PURPOSES : The goal of this study is to analyze the operational efficiencies of special roundabouts using simulated programs. METHODS : This study primarily focuses on comparing the delays and traffic flow disturbances occurring at special roundabouts. In this study, the operational efficiencies of 450 scenarios (5 roundabout types ${\times}$ traffic volumes ${\times}$ directional ratios ${\times}$ measures) are analyzed according to the corresponding delays and traffic flow disturbances using VISSIM and SSAM. RESULTS : The main results are as follows: 1) the Hamburger roundabouts are determined to yield the least common-type delays, 2) the amount of delays at Turbo and Flower roundabouts with respect to relatively increased right-turn-type delays, in addition to the amount of delays at the Left-turn slip-lane roundabout with respect to relatively increased left-turn-type delays, are found to be reduced as compared to the common-type delays. Lastly, common- and increased right-turn-type traffic flow disturbances at the Turbo roundabout and increased left-turn-type traffic flow disturbances at the Left-turn slip-lane roundabout are determined to be the most infrequent. CONCLUSIONS : This study comparatively analyzes five roundabout types: standard, Flower, Turbo, Hamburger, and Left-turn slip-lane. The effectiveness of roundabouts can increase according to given traffic volume, directional ratio, and measure of effectiveness.

국제해사기구의 해양환경보호위원회에서 CO₂ 배출량 감축의 지구적 노력에 동참하기 위해 최근 선박에서 대기로 방출하는 CO₂의 양을 지수화 하고자 하는 논의가 활발히 진행중이다. 그 대표적인 지수로서 신조선 설계 건조시에 적용하는 에너지 효율지수(EEDI : Energy Efficiency Design Index for new ships)와 현재 또는 건조 후 항행시에 운항선에 적용되는 에너지 효율지표(EEOI : Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator), 그리고 운항선의 에너지 효율관리 계획(SEEMP : Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan)등이다. 본 지수는 선박을 설계 건조시부터 각 선박당 CO₂의 배출값을 산정하고 운항시에도 CO₂배출을 개량하고 이를 감축하는 방안을 모색하도록 유도하는 조치가 될 것이다. 향후 3년내에 발효될 수 있는 임박한 CO₂선박 배출 규제를 조사 분석하고 향후 발전방향을 모색해 보고자 한다.

본 연구는 착색단고추의 유통실태를 분석하고 운영효율성을 측정하여 유통경로별 유통효율성을 비교분석한 것이다. 수출시장 (일본)의 경우에는 개별농가가 직접수출대행업체와의 계약을 통해 수출하는 것 (유형 III)이 영농조합법인 (유형 I:수출농단결성)과 지역농협을 통한 공동출하 (유형 II)의 경우보다 운영효율성이 높은것으로 분석되었다. 내수시장의 경로에서는 도매시장을 통한 경로가 가장 효율적인 것으로 분석되었는데 이는 도매시장을 통해 유통되는 물량은 대형유통업체와 계통판매되는 물량보다 비표준화된 물량이 많으므로 품질면에서 차이가 나지만 내수시장균형가격이 비교적 높게 형성됨으로써 품질에 상응하는 가격이 형성되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 그리고 유형IV의 경우는 유형 V, VI유형보다 유통비용 투입에 대한 산출수준이 비교적 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to examine the relationship between total quality management(TQM) practices and operational performance perceived by employees who are in different functional organization types, R&D function and Non-R&D function organization in manufacturing companies. Operational performance is defined as the degree of operation efficiency in the perspective of quality, delivery, and cost. Our study showed that the significant elements of TQM practice were different depending on functional organization types. In case of R&D organization, the categories of customer focus and process management were the strongest significant predictors of operational performance. Therefore, the optimal TQM practices for R&D organization can be obtained in consideration of customer focus and process management.

In this paper a new concept, named the Extended Operational Space Formulation, has been proposed for the effective analysis and real-time control of the robot manipulators with kinematic redundancy. The extended operational space consists of operational space and optimal null space. The operational space is used to describe robot end-effector motion; whereas the optimal null space, defined as the target space of the self motion manifold, is used to express the self motion for the secondary tasks. Based upon the proposed formulation, the kinematics, statics, and dynamics of redundant robots have been analyzed, and an efficient control algorithm has been proposed. Using this algorithm, one can optimize a performance measure while tracking a desired end-effector trajectory with a better computational efficiency than the conventional methods. The effective ness of the proposed method has been demonstrated with simulations.

In this study, it is the purpose to develope a cheap and compact $CO_2$ laser and to apply 60 Hz AC discharges as a new exciting source. An axial and water cooledtype was adopted as the laser mode. The laser performance characteristics as various parameters, such as gas pressure and discharge current, have been investigated. And the laser output and the efficiency of DC and 60 Hz AC discharge-exciting type have been measured and compared for the different input powers at the static operational pressure. As a result, the case of 60 Hz AC discharge-exciting type, the laser oscillation began at the condition of operational pressure 6 Torr and discharge current 5 mA. A maximum laser output of about 32 W was obtained at an operational pressure of 18 Toorr and a discharge current of 30 mA. In addition, the laser output was saturated from an operational pressure of about 14 Torr and a discharge current of about 20 mA. In this $CO_2$ laser, the laser output of 60 Hz AC discharge-exciting type was slightly higher than that of DC discharge-exciting type. And the laser efficiency was about 10 to 13% for the various operational pressures and the discharge currents.

This study examined the separation characteristics of particles in the rainfall runoff from paved roads using a ${\varphi}7.5$ cm hydrocyclone. The volume fraction and total suspended solids concentrations in the overflow and underflow from the hydrocyclone, as well as the separation efficiency were determined. The results indicated that the overflow volume increased with increasing operational pressure, but decreased with decreasing ratio of underflow outlet to inlet sizes ($D_u/D_i$), while the underflow to overflow volumes showed contrary behavior. The total suspended solid (TSS) concentration ratio between the overflow and inflow ($TSS_{over/in}$) decreased as a function of the operational pressure, while the corresponding ratio of underflow to inflow ($TSS_{under/in}$) increased. There was no visible difference in the $TSS_{over/in}$ with increasing $D_u/D_i$ ratio, but the $TSS_{under/in}$ decreased sharply. The particle removal efficiency was mainly affected by the particle size.

We have developed a top-emitting white organic electroluminescent device (TWOLED) incorporating a low-reflectivity molybdenum (Mo) anode and doped transport layers as well as a dual-layer architecture of doped blue and yellow emitters with the same blue host. The EL efficiency and operational lifetime of TWOLED can be enhanced by a factor of 1.2 and 3.4 than that of standard TWOLED, respectively, with a co-doping technology in yellow emitter by doping another blue dopant. The enhancement in device performances can be attributed to improve the energy transfer efficiency from blue host to yellow dopant through a blue dopant as medium in yellow emitter.
