We present in this paper the ture union bound of the performance of chip level detection for coded DS/CDMA system operating in Rician fading channels such as LEO satellite mobile radio where the maximum doppler frequency is very high. The main objective of this paper is to calculate the exact doe union bound of BER performance of different performance of different quadrature detectors and to find a optimum spreading factor as a function of fade rate. The rationale of using multiple chip detection is to reduce the effective fade rate or variation. We considered chip level differential detection, chip level maximum likelihood sequence estimation, noncoherent detection and coherent detection with perfect channel state information as a reference.

When starch is hydrolyzed either by acid or by the enzymes maltase or diastase, contained in germinating barley, a yield of 80% of maltose is obtained. Maltose is built of two molecules of ${\alpha}$-glucose, bound in the position 1:4 i.e., carbon atom 1 of one glucose molecule is bound in a glucosidic bond to carbon atom 4 of the second molecule. Until around 1960, dextrose and glucose syrups were prepared from starch exclusively by acid hydrolysis. The process was corrosive, and the dextrose yield low. It was, therefore, a great step forward when pure glucoamylase in combination with bacterial ${\alpha}$-amylase made possible a complete enzymatic hydrolysis of starch to dextrose. Today several enzymatic processes are used in the industry.

The main objective of this study is to determine the critical chloride ion concentrations in the pore solutions causing depassivation of steel reinforcement in concrete made with cements of different $C_3A$ contents. Cement pastes with water-ratio of 0.5 were prepared using four cements with $C_3A$ contents of 0.46, 5.97, 9.14, and 9.65 percent. The pastes were allowed to hydrate in sealed containers for 28days and then objected to pore solution expression. The expressed pore fluids were analyzed for chloride and hydroxyl ion concentrations. It was found that the free cholride concentration in the pore solution decreases significantly with an increase in the $C_3A$ content of the cement. With increasing level of chloride addition, although the alsolute amount of bound chloride increase, the ratio of bound to total chlorides decreases.

At present, the polymer-modified mortars are used as high-performance as well as multi-functional materials in the construction industry. The purpose of this study is to synthesize polymer to modify in cement mortars and make test samples to understand pore size distribution. This paper deals with the effect of monomer ratio on the typical properties of polymer-modified mortars using Methylmethacrylate-Butyl Acrylate(MMA/BA) latexes synthesized through emulsion polymerization. From the results, we knew that the pore volume of polymer-modified mortars using Methylmethacrylate-Butyl Acrylate latexes at bound MMA contents of 70 and 60 percent is 7.5-75cm$^3$/g and the fine pore volume is increased with an increase in the polymer-cement ratio. The total pore volume of polymer-modified mortars using MMA/BA latexes is linearly reduced with an increase in the bound MMA content and increased in the polymer-cement ratio.

This paper deals with the problem of the optimal location of warehouses in the two stage distribution system, i.e., the distribution system where the product is transported from plants to customer areas via warehouses. The Problem is formulated with a zero-one mixed integer programming and an efficient branch and bound algorithm is then used to solve the problem. In order to obtain the solution of this problem, this paper shows the procedure of conversion of two stage distribution system into one stage distribution system. An improved method of solving the linear programming at the nodes and branching decision rule is also showed by this study.

This paper considers a scheduling problem to minimize the sum of the associated scheduling (production/delivery times) cost and the delivery cost for an integrated system of a single production machine and various transportation vehicles with transportation mode selection allowed. Each transportation mode is provided with a fixed number of vehicles at the associated delivery time and cost. The proposed problem is characterized as being NP-hard. Some solution properties are also characterized. Therewith, three heuristic algorithms (called SPT-based, LWF-based and WSPT-based heuristic) and a branch-and-bound algorithm are derived. In order to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms, computational experiments are made with some numerical instances.

The common accelerated life test(ALT) consists of test methods applying a constant stress, higher than the use condition stress, to items. There we, however, situations for which a progressive stress ALT, in which the stress on a test item is continuously increased with time, Is more convenient to perform testing and simpler in analyzing data than a constant stress ALT. When a product under constant stress s follows a Weibull distribution with parameters $\theta$(5) and $\beta$, maximum likelihood(ML) estimators of parameters involved in the model are obtained and their asymptotic distributions are derived under stress bounded ramp tests in which the stress is increased linearly from use condition stress to the stress upper bound. The optimum test plans are also found which minimize the asymptotic variance of the ML estimator of the log mean life at design constant stress. For selected values of the design parameters, tables useful for finding optimal test plans are given. The effect of the pre-estimates of design parameters is studied.

In reliability analysis, the time difference between the expected next failure time and the current failure time or the Mean Time Between Failure(MTBF) is of significant interest. Until recently, in reliability growth studies, the reciprocal of the intensity function at current failure time has been used as being equal to MTBE($t_n$)at the n-th failure time $t_n$. That is MTBF($t_n$)=l/$\lambda (t_n)$. However, such a relationship is only true for Homogeneous Poisson Process(HPP). Tsokos(1995) obtained the upper bound and lower bound for the MTBF($t_n$) and proposed an estimator for the MTBF($t_n$) as the mean of the two bounds. In this paper, we provide the estimator for the MTBF($t_n$) which does not depend on the value of the shape parameter. The result of the Monte Carlo simulation shows that the proposed estimator has better efficiency than Tsokos's estimator.

This paper considers a nonparametric estimation of lifetime distribution for ramp stress tests with stress bound under intermittent inspection. The test items are inspected only at specified time points an⊂1 so the collected observations are grouped data. Under the cumulative exposure model, two nonparametric estimation methods of estimating the lifetime distribution at use condition stress are proposed for the situation which the time transformation function relating stress to lifetime is a type of the inverse power law. Each of items is initially put on test under ramp stress and then survivors are put on test under constant stress, where all failures in the Inspection interval are assumed to occur at the midi)oint or the endpoint of that interval. Two proposed estimators of quantile from grouped data consisting of the number of items failed in each inspection interval are numerically compared with the maximum likelihood estimator(MLE) based on Weibull distribution.

We described a relationship of the $L_2$ norm of the $L_2$norm of a Bzier curve and l2 norm of its confrol points. The use of Bezier curves finds much application in the general description of curves and surfaces and provided the mathematical basis for many computer graphics system. We define the $L_2$ norm for Bezier curves and find a upper and lower bound for many computer graphics system. We define the $L_2$ norm for Bezier curves and find a upper and lower bound for the $L_2$ norm with respect to the $L_2$ norm for its control points for easy computation.
