A design procedure for cooling towers was set up using the Merkel theory In the past, the design data could be different depending on the characteristic curve that the engineer adopted. Therefore, consistent and reasonable criteria are required, which are based on the exact information of the cooling tower performance. In this study, analysis program for both the design and off-design for a counterflow-type cooling tower was developed and verified by comparing with experimental data. The off-design performance with various operating conditions was analyzed, as well.

In the design of class 1 components to apply ASME code section III NB, a fatigue is considered as one of the important failure mechanisms. Fatigue analysis procedure and standard fatigue design curve(S-N curve) is suggested in ASME code, which had to be performed to meet the integrity of components at the design step. As the plant life extension for operating power plants and the long-lived plant design, however, are being progressed, the fact which the existing ASME fatigue design curve can not consider fatigue effects sufficiently comes to the fore. To find the technical solution for these problems, a number of researches and discussion are continued up to now. In this study, the detailed fatigue analyses using the 3 dimensional modeling for the fatigue-weakened components were performed to develop the optimized fatigue analysis procedure and their results are compared with other reference solutions.

The subset selection approach introduced by Gupta plays an important role in the multiple decision procedures. For the normal means problem with common unknown variance, some operating characteristics of the selection procedure have been investigated via Monte Carlo simulation. Also some properties including efficiencies of the selection procedure are examined when the data are contaminated.

OPS(Operating Procedure Synthesis) systems can reduce the time and effort involved in OPS, make the analysis more thorough and detailed, and minimize or eliminate human errors. And OPS systems capture the expertise needed to create operating procedures and allow this experience to be used in the new situations. But there are the limitations of the OPS techniques that have been used. So in order to resolve this Problem, in this work we have proposed a new approach to utilize temporal constraints and specific process knowledge in temporal logic and description logic. We have demonstrated its remarkable effectiveness in a boiler plant.

Purpose: This study was conducted to develop a timeout protocol as the process of patients verification in the operating room, and to evaluate its effects. Methods: The timeout protocol was developed based on the experience of practices and the universal protocol of JCAHO 2004. The subjects of this study were 192 surgical members working in the operating room at an university hospital in Daegu, Korea. Results: The timeout protocol was developed in six steps; participants verification, encouragement of compliance, verification of right 3 PSP, agreement of surgical team members, verification of the parties to a patient, patient agreement. The data which have been resulted from the experimental group show significantly higher than those of control group as follows; cognition(t = -6.580, p = .000), contents of performance; progress of anesthesiologist as leader(${\chi}^2$ = 29.029, p = .000), verification of right patient, right site and right procedure(${\chi}^2$ = 40.663, p = .000), participation of surgical team(${\chi}^2$ = 68.412, p = .000), and the number of cases of performance(${\chi}^2$ = 242.900, p = .000). Conclusion: It suggests that medical accidents caused by failures in a preoperative verification process can be prevented if a timeout is conducted active involvement and effective communication among surgical team members for a final verification of the correct patient, procedure, and site.
