  • It has been issued that the irreconcilability of the classical test for a point null and standard Bayesian formulation for testing such a point null. The infimum of the posterior probability of the null hypothesis is used as measure of evidence against the null hypothesis in Bayesian approach; here the infimum is over the family of priors on the alternative hypotheses which includes all density that are a priori reasonable. For iid observations from a multivariate normal distribution in $\textit{p}$ dimensions with an unknown mean and a covariance matrix propotional to the Identity we consider the difference and the Wolfowitz distance of the distributions of the P-value and the lower bound of the posterior probability over the family of all normal priors. The Wolfowitz distance is interpreted as the average difference of the quantiles of the two distrbutions.

  • In TWBP markets, ISO determines the maintenance schedule based on Gencos' and Transcos' offers under reasonable criterion. This paper presents ISO's alternative procedure to coordinate maintenance schedules submitted by Gencos and Transcos. ISO's coordination procedure is formulated as an optimization problem that minimizes expected losses in Gencos' revenue subject to system reserve requirement.

  • This paper is concerned with development of an efficient Ρ-median approach applicable to large cell formation(CF) problems. A two-phase methodology that seeks to minimize the number of exceptional elements is proposed. In phase I, two efficient Ρ-median formulations which contain fewer binary variables than existing Ρ-median formulations are constructed. These make it possible to implement large CF problem within reasonable computer runtime with commercially available linear integer programming codes. Given the initial cell configuration found with the new p-median formulations, in phase II bottleneck machines and parts are reassigned to reduce the number of exceptional elements. This procedure has the flexibility to provide the cell designer with alternative solutions. Test results on large CF problems show a substantial efficiency of the new Ρ-median formulations.

  • There have been many packages that can be employed to analyze plane frames. However, because most structural analysis packages suffer from closeness of system, it is very difficult to integrate it with an optimization package. To overcome the difficulty, we proposed a possible alternative, DAMDO, which integrate Design, Analysis, Modeling, Definition, and Optimization phases into an integrative environment. The DAMDO methodology employs neural networks to integrate structural analysis package and optimization package so as not to need directly to integrate these two packages. The key problem of the DAMDO approach is how to generate a set of reasonable random designs in the first phase. According to the characteristics of optimized plane frames, we proposed the ratio variable approach to generate them. The empirical results show that the ratio variable approach can greatly improve the accuracy of the neural networks, and the plane frame optimization problems can be solved by the DAMDO methodology.

  • Route selecting of the road is a basic and important process. But the route selecting process must consider the technical, traffic and environment factor simultaneously. The optimum route that are able to reduce the construction cost, maximize utility value and investigate several alternative route must be selected. This study presents a reasonable plan for route selecting through subjective evaluation and classify the methods linked GIS from basic design of road construction.

  • The objective of this paper is to evaluate the proposed design by the Value Engineering (VE) analysis for the gravel ballast and the concrete ballast track structures. However, reliabilities about the VE analysis results based on Life-Cycle Cost(LCC) has not been fully benefited from VE implementation due to disregard of basic principles and lack of systematic performance measurement systems. In this paper, the VE analysis using the Delphi survey of professional group is proposed to decide reasonable determinants for investment and alternative design in construction project of railway tracks. Moreover, the efficiency of VE analysis is invested by an application of the developed methodology to track structures.

  • A widely accepted indicator of a project's economic potential is the internal rate of return (IRR). The primary objective of feasibility analysis for any project is to measure the economic potential for the project, normally defined as the expected return on capital investment. The analysis should be designed to determine whether a project is technically and economically sound, and under what conditions. Therefore, there are factors other than economic potential that must be taken into account in the reasonable composition of an investment program. These kinds of factors can be given proper consideration in project selection after the economic feasibility of alternative projects has been determined. The primary reason for having to choose among different projects is that capital resources are scare : the investment budget is limited. The case project, casting facilities investment project, treated in this paper were selected for their value in illustrating the methods of feasibility analysis. This case project an actual potential project and is analyzed on the basis of the best available data for the specific conditions for that project.

  • The fee system on spectrum usage is a usage fee that is charged for using spectrum provided by a wireless tower, and is used for management and promotion of the waves. The current fee system for spectrum usage in South Korea has faced many problems, such as complex calculation for fees, unjustified charges, unfairness in cost sharing among providers, and general inefficiency of operation. This study focuses on comparison of fee systems for spectrum usage of South Korea and other foreign countries, extraction of the root causes and problems by case analyses, and recommendation for better solutions to make a reasonable fee system for spectrum usage. The result of this study can be used as a solution to render spectrum usage more effective.

  • Modified product Consistency Test (M-PCT) has been developed as an alternative to other existing methods in determining the leachability of glass. M-PCT, the leaching method, is a hybrid of MCC-l and PCT, but can provide quicker sample preparation. Larger diameter glass sample (1.0-2.0 mm) than in the PCT method can be used so that the glass beads are more easily produced and cleaned. From the M-PCT, the total mass loss (ML) of glass, the normalized elemental release rate (NLi), pH value of leachate have been obtained. For some selected glasses in which leaching rates have been known, their chemical durablility have been tested using the M-PCT method. The results are compared to the literature data for the glasses. It is found that M-PCT method is reasonable and suitable in determining the leachability of Low and Intermediate level Radioactive Waste glass form, such as the pH, elemental loss and total mass loss.

  • On increasing a computer network, internet usage, it has been created for Electronic Commerce to place a cyberspace. This cyberspace is limited to apply for contemporary usage and law because it have distinct characters now. Therefore, it is predicted that dispute will be happened in these cyberspaces. This article examines the disputes cases related the computer network intermediary's liability and studies a reasonable improvement ways for developing Electronic Commerce. It has been limited to apply the usage and law the network which can be happened a dispute and has not involved usage and law using computer network yet. Therefore, we should make a self-regulation each other who use network and improved the usage and law involved the network through these methods. We should also establish Alternative Dispute Resolution and try to settle dispute in the cyberspace
