This paper presents a flexible finite-difference technique for analyzing the nonuniform guiding structures. Because the voltage and current variations along the nonuniform structure differ for each segment, this work considers the adaptable discretization steps. This technique increases the accuracy of the final response. Moreover, by applying the singular value decomposition and discarding the nonprincipal singular values, an optimal lower rank approximation of the discretization matrix is obtained. The computational cost of the introduced method is significantly reduced using the optimal discretization matrix. Also, the proposed method can be extended to the nonuniform waveguides. The technique is verified by analyzing several practical transmission lines and waveguides with nonuniform profiles.

A new cost management system, called Activity Based Costing (ABC) system, has arisen to solve the limitation of a Traditional Cost Accounting (TCA) system until last two decades and ABC has been applied by many companies. TCA systems have limitation in tracing cost because they arbitrarily allocate overhead cost to the cost objects without standard for direct cost distribution. ABC is an accounting system that assigns costs to products or services based on the resources they consume. The costs of all activities are traced to the products for which they are performed. Therefore ABC is a cost management system that provides a matrix to accurately quantify consumed resources triggered by activities and activities triggered by products and services. There is little implementation of ABC in the health services field, one of service industries, due to complicated and many activities, and volatile cost object. However, the necessity for applying reasonable cost accounting system is largely issuing as strategy responding hostile environment, and financial pressure, and it is imperative to implement the Activity Based Costing (ABC) system. Therefore, this study presents the framework to develop ABC system for total health service organizations. Cost objects in this study base on medical service activities per health insurance claim from one general hospital located in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Medical service activities include all health insurance claims in the hospital. The purpose of the study is presenting useful tools and basic frame to develop Activity Based Costing system for health service organizations which want to use ABC system. The steps to develop ABC system for health service organizations are following: 1. Identifying of activity centers; 2. Definition of cost objects and activity by activity center; 3. Analysis of activity and tracing activity contribution; 4. Allocation of direct cost for specific activity; 5. Allocation of indirect cost for specific activity; 6. Allocation of depreciation for facilities, applicants, and consumption goods; 7. Allocation of administration cost; 8. Allocation of cost among activity centers; and 9. Tracing cost of cost objects by activity center. This study identified necessary information from existing reports which hospitals generally made by each step, and defined outcome which had to be produced in each step using this information. The steps of this study had limitation to apply all different size hospitals because the steps were structured ABC system by one hospital, however, this study used similar basic framework and methods with general cases. When a health service organization want to apply Activity Based Costing (ABC) system on all activities of it in future days, this study is very useful to design system structure in the health service organization.

본 논문에서는 시변 시간지연을 가지는 특이시스템에 대한 보장비용 상태제환 제어기 설계방법을 제시한다. 보장비용 제어기가 존재할 충분조건과 보장비용 제어기 설계방법 및 보장비용 함수의 상한치를 구하는 최적화 문제를 선형행렬부등식, 특이치 분해(singular value decomposition), 슈어 여수(Schur complements) 정리, 변수 치환 등에 의하여 제시한다. 구한 충분조건은 선형행렬부등식의 형태로 되기 때문에 보장비용 제어기의 이득과 보장비용 함수의 상한치를 포함하는 충분조건의 모든 해를 동시에 구할 수 있다, 또한, 제안한 알고리듬을 이용하면 변수 불확실성과 시변 시간지연을 동시에 가지는 특이시스템에 대한 강인 보장비용 제어기 설계문제에도 쉽게 확장됨을 보인다. 마지막으로, 제안한 알고리듬의 타당성을 수치예제를 통하여 확인한다.

To reduce the processing cost of the single grain REBCO (RE: Rare-earth elements) bulk superconductors, a cost-effective process should be developed. One possible way of developing the cost-effective process is the use of low-cost precursor powders. In this study, the single grain YBCO superconductors were fabricated using a home made powder. $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) powders were synthesized at $850-900^{\circ}C$ in air by the powder calcination method with repeated crushing and heat treatment steps. The processing parameters for the fabrication of single grain Y123 bulk superconductors, $T_{max}$ (maximum temperature), $T_p$ (peritectic temperature) and a cooling rate through $T_p$ were optimized. To enhance the flux pinning capacity of the single grain Y123 samples, $Y_2BaCuO_5$ (Y211) particles were dispersed in the Y123 matrix by adding $Y_2O_3$ powder to the calcined Y123 powder. Applying the optimized processing condition, the single grain Y123 superconductors with $T_c=91\;K$ and $J_c=1.5{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$ at 2 T were successfully fabricated using a home made powder. The levitation forces and trapped magnetic field at 77 K measured using a Nd-B-Fe permanent magnet of 5300 G were 47 N and 3000 G, respectively, which are comparable to those obtained for the samples fabricated using a commercial grade Y123 powders.

This paper presents a sensor fusion method based on indirect Kalman filter(IKF) for error compensation of low-cost inertial sensors and its application to the determination of attitude and position of small flying robots. First, the analysis of the measurement error characteristics to zero input is performed, focusing on the bias due to the temperature variation, to derive a simple nonlinear bias model of low-cost inertial sensors. Moreover, from the experimental results that the coefficients of this bias model possess non-deterministic (stochastic) uncertainties, the bias of low-cost inertial sensors is characterized as consisting of both deterministic and stochastic bias terms. Then, IKF is derived to improve long term stability dominated by the stochastic bias error, fusing low-cost inertial sensor measurements compensated by the deterministic bias model with non-inertial sensor measurement. In addition, in case of using intermittent non-inertial sensor measurements due to the unreliable data link, the upper and lower bounds of the state estimation error covariance matrix of discrete-time IKF are analyzed by solving stochastic algebraic Riccati equation and it is shown that they are dependant on the throughput of the data link and sampling period. To evaluate the performance of proposed method, experimental results of IKF for the attitude determination of a small flying robot are presented in comparison with that of extended Kaman filter which compensates only deterministic bias error model.

본 논문은 불완전 비용 리스트를 가진 대규모 운송 문제의 최적 해를 O(mn) 수행 복잡도로 구하는 배정-교환 알고리즘을 제안한다. 완전 비용 리스트를 가진 운송 문제의 해는 일반적으로 TSM을 적용한다. 그러나 대규모 운송 문제에 대해 TSM을 적용하는데 문제가 있으며, 특히 불완전 비용 리스트를 가진 경우에는 TSM으로 풀기에는 더욱 더 어려움이 가중된다. 따라서, 실무분야 전문가들은 상용화된 선형계획법 패키지를 단순히 활용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 첫 번째로, 운송비용 오름차순으로 운송량을 배정하는 전략을 수행하였다. 이 결과 공급 여유량을 가진 지역으로 부터 요구량을 충족시키지 못하는 지역에 배정량을 조정하였다. 두 번째로, 2-opt와 1-opt의 교환 최적화 전략을 수행하여 최적 해를 구하였다. 제안된 방법을 $31{\times}15$ 불완전 비용 행렬 문제에 적용한 결과, 배정-교환 방법이 상용 선형계획법 패키지인 LINGO의 해를 보다 개선하는 효과를 보였다.

이동 통신환경에서 이동노드들은 기지국(base station)을 통하여 통신하므로, 기지국은 트래픽의 발신지 및 착신지로서 데이터 트래픽, 위치정보 트래픽 등과 같이 처리비용이 다른 이종의 트래픽을 발생한다. 그러데, 하나의 위치 정보 서버는 물리적으로 제한된 용량으르 다지므로 여러 대의 위치정보 서버를 분산시켜 구축할 필요가 있는데, 이때 기지국을 최적으로 클러스터링하고 각 클러스터마다 하나의 위치정보서버를 할당해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기지국이 선형으로 배열된 이동 통신망에서, 서로간에 다양한 형태의 트래픽을 발생하는 n개의 기지국이 주어졌을 때, 전체 네트워크에 대한 통신비용을 최소화하기 위하여 이들을 m($1{\le}m{\le}n$) 개의 인접한 클러스터(disjoint cluster)로 분리하는 문제를 고려한다. 이를 위하여, 본 논문에서는 주어진 트래픽이 클러스터 내부에서 발생할 때와 클러스트간에 발생할 때의 통신비용 차이를 반영한 상대비용(relative cost) 개념을 도입하여 O($mm^2$)의 동적 프로그래밍(dynamic programming) 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한 이 알고리즘은 하나의 클러스터에 대한 크기제한과 전체 네트워크에 허락된 총 통신비용이 제악조건으로 주어질 경우, 같은 계산시간 내에 모든 유효한 클러스터를 찾아 낼 수 있음을 보인다.

A method of optimum design of an axial rotary sensible heat exchanger for the heat recovery of exhaust gas from the air conditioning space was developed in consideration of economics of investment cost and profit according to the installation of heat exchangers. Leakage rate of exhaust gas was calculated and the correlation for the pressure drop due to leakage of exhaust gas was proposed. Heat transfer between the matrix and exhaust and intake gas was analysed to calculate the effectiveness of heat exchanger, which was used for the optimum design of rotary heat exchanger. The results show that optimum rotational speed increases as the length of rotor increases and there exists optimum NTU which maximizes the gain of total cost according to the installation of rotary heat exchanger.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the batch service queueing model M/M(a, b ; ${\mu}_k/1$) under general bulk service rule with mean service rate ${\mu}_k$ for a batch of k units, where $a{\leq}k{\leq}b$. This queueing model consists of the two-dimensional state space so that it is characterized by two-dimensional state Markov process. The steady-state solution and performane measure of this process are derived by using Matrix Geometric method. Meanwhile, a new approach is suggested to calculate the two-dimensional traffic density R which is used to obtain the steady-state solution. In addition, to determine the optimal service initiation threshold a, a decision model of this queueing system is developed evaluating cost of service per batch and cost of waiting per customer. In a job order production system, the decision-making procedure presented in this paper can be applicable to determining when production should be started.
