In this paper we consider open queueing system with a Poisson arrival process which have a finite upper bound on the arrival rate for which the system is stable. Interpolation approximations for quantities of interest, such as moments of the sojourn time distribution, have previously been developed for such systems, utilizing exact light and heavy traffic limits. These limits cannot always be easily computed for complex systems. Thus we consider an interpolation approximation where all of the relevant information is estimated via simulation. We show that all the relevant information can in fact be simultaneously estimated in a single regenerative simulation at any arrival rate. In addition to light and heavy traffic limits, both the quantity of interest and its derivative (with respect to the arrival rate) are estimated at the arrival rate of the simulation. All of the estimates are then combined, using a least squares procedure, to provide an interpolation approximation.

Shewhart control chart is a basic technique to monitor the state of a process. We observe observations of a group of size four or five in a rational way and plot some statistics (e.g., means and ranges) on the chart. When setting up the control chart, the control limits are calculated based on preliminary 20-40 samples, which were supposedly obtained from stable operating conditions. But it may be hard to believe, especially at the beginning of constructing the chart for the first time, whether the process is stable and hence all samples were generated under the homogeneous operating conditions. In this report we suggest a mechanism to obtain robust control limits under self-criticism. When outliers are present in the sample, we obtain tighter control limits and hence increase the sensitivity of the chart. Examples will be given via simulation study.

For the safe handling of n-hexane, the explosion limit at $25^{\circ}C$, the temperature dependence of the explosion limits and the lower flash point were investigated. And AITs(auto-ignition temperatures) by ignition delay time for n-hexane were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of n-hexane recommended 1.0 Vol% and 8.0 Vol%, respectively. In this study, the lower flash points of n-hexane recommended $-23^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for n-hexane, and the experimental AIT of n-hexane was $240^{\circ}C$. The new equations for predicting the temperature dependence of the explosion limits of n-hexane is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with the literature data.

Balancing left/right cardiac output is essential for the automatic control of total artificial hearts(TAH). A fuzzy logic-based control method is presented. We use left atrial pressure(LAP) and right atrial pressure(RAP) as indicators for left/right balancing. The fuzzy controller has four input variables which are measured LAP and RAP and their gradients. Desired variations in left cardiac output(LCO) and right cardiac output(RCO) are calculated to keep LAP and RAP within the Physiological limits. Computer simulations were performed to adjust fuzzy membership functions for variables and verify this control method. Results from simulations showed that LAP and RAP returned to the physiological limits while AoP and PAP stayed within the physiological limits.

A new green home designed to save money while at the same time saving the environment with some of the finest green features available in the market. Composite column composed of structural steel and structural glued laminated timber is avery Eco-friendly building products for design building because that use recycled or second hand. For compare to compressive strength of structural glued laminated timber (glulam), structural steel, and composite column (steel-glulam), tested compressive strength of each specimen. 1) structural glued laminated timber : Theoretical compressive strength is 151.6 kN similar to elastic limits. 2) structural steel (H type) : Theoretical compressive strength is 148.2 kN little under the elastic limits. 3) structural steel (D type) : Theoretical compressive strength is 147.3 kN upper than the elastic limits. 4) composite column : Actual elastic limits are about 600 kN. Result in, composite column improve compressive strength of Structural steel column and provide structural stability of the building.

This paper proposes a Modified Particle Swarm Optimization with Time Varying Acceleration Coefficients (MPSO-TVAC) for solving economic load dispatch (ELD) problem. Due to prohibited operating zones (POZ) and ramp rate limits of the practical generators, the ELD problems become nonlinear and nonconvex optimization problem. Furthermore, the ELD problem may be more complicated if transmission losses are considered. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is one of the famous heuristic methods for solving nonconvex problems. However, this method may suffer to trap at local minima especially for multimodal problem. To improve the solution quality and robustness of PSO algorithm, a new best neighbour particle called 'rbest' is proposed. The rbest provides extra information for each particle that is randomly selected from other best particles in order to diversify the movement of particle and avoid premature convergence. The effectiveness of MPSO-TVAC algorithm is tested on different power systems with POZ, ramp-rate limits and transmission loss constraints. To validate the performances of the proposed algorithm, comparative studies have been carried out in terms of convergence characteristic, solution quality, computation time and robustness. Simulation results found that the proposed MPSO-TVAC algorithm has good solution quality and more robust than other methods reported in previous work.

Train to Busan(2016) and Seoul Station(2016) contain trans-media properties in terms of the expansion of 'possible worlds' from the original story, and show the cultural and economic potential of the domestic trans-media contents with industrial systems added to the artist's competence of Dir. Yeon Shang-ho, an animator and film director. But they also have limits of the lack of continuity in time and characters between each media, various derived contents and suitable marketing strategy. For the development of Korean trans-media contents, it is necessary to extend the range of contents, find changes in production time and style, and improve the distribution environment to encourage a user to integrate contents from each platforms.

A new real-time constrained dispatch scheduling (CDS) is needed for TWBP. The CDS needs to be performed at every dispatch period to decide generation power of scheduling generators and amounts of scheduling load. Therefore, the CDS is not based on real generation costs but on bidding data of market participants with some constraints such as power balance, generation limits, ancillary service, and transmission line limits. This paper selects linear programming(LP) as an optimization tool for the CDS and presents effective formulae for the LP application. This paper also presents the way of minimizing the number of variables and constraints of the LP to improve real-time applicability.

Traditionally, the Process Planning problems and the Scheduling problems have been considered as independent ones. However, we can take much advantages by solving the two problems simultaneously. In this paper, we deal with the enlarged problem that takes into account both the process planning and the scheduling problems. And we present a solution algorithm for the problem assuming that the given process plan data is represented by AND/OR graph. A mathematical model(mixed ILP model) whose objective is the minimization of the makespan, is formulated. We found that we can get the optimal solutions of the small-size problems within reasonable time limits, but not the large-size problems. So we devised an algorithm based on the decomposition strategy to solve the large-scale problems (realistic problems) within practical time limits.

A different kind of approximation has been developed in connection with calculation of the normal family distributions in digital computer. These approximations usually employ polynomial expressions. They give quite high accuracy, sometimes only within definite limits on the values of the variable. Outside these limits they may give quite poor approximations. In this paper we compare these approximations by criteria of C.P.U. time and accuracy using micro computer. Approximation formulas given by Zelen and Severo (1984) are proven to give the most accurate results within allowable C.P.U. time.
