This paper deals with cost analysis model in periodic maintenance policy. The repair policy with minimal repair is considered as follow : as the occurrence of failure between minimal repair and periodic interval time, unit is replaced by a new unit before the periodic maintenance time comes. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to time delta t in a view of customer's. The total expected costs are included repair and usage cost : operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and new unit expected cost. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has Normal distribution.

In this study, a System Dynamics (SD) simulation model for the efficient operations of an industrial water supply system was developed by investigating the feedback loop mechanisms involved in the operations of the system. The system was modeled so that as demand is determined the water supply quantity of intake pumping stations and dams are allocated. The main feedback loop showed that many variables such as the combinations of pump operation, unit electric power(kWh/$m^3$), unit electric power costs(won/$m^3$), water level of water way tunnel, suction pressure and discharge of pumping station, and tank and service reservoir water level had causal effects and produced results depending on their causal relationship. The configurations of the model included an intake pumping station model, water way tunnel model, pumping station model (including the tank and service reservoir water level control model), and unit electric power model. The model was verified using the data from the case study industrial water supply system that consisted of a water treatment plant, two pumping stations and four dams with an annual energy costs of 5 billion won. It was shown that the electric power costs could have been saved 7~26% during the past six years if the operations had been based on the findings of this study.

사회기반시설물의 노후화에 따른 교량 유지관리비용의 급격한 증가에 대비하기 위해서는 미래 발생 가능한 유지관리비용의 예측이 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 교량 관리주체의 유지관리 현황 분석을 통해 교량의 관리수준을 파악하고, 이를 생애주기에 따른 목표관리수준과 성능향상 한계 값으로 모델링하였다. 이와 함께 교량 안전점수에 따른 보수보강비용 예측모델, 성능열화모델, 평균개축비용단가, 평균 개축시기로 구성된 기존의 비용 및 성능 예측모델과 연계하여, 교량 유지관리비용 추계분석을 위한 방법론 및 절차를 제안하였다. 제안된 방법의 활용성 검증을 위해 특정 관리주체가 관리하는 교량의 규모, 노후화 정도, 현재 관리현황을 고려하여 미래 유지관리비용 추계 분석을 수행하였다. 연차별로 개별 교량 수준의 안전등급과 유지관리 조치에 따른 비용 추정 결과와 이들을 관리주체 수준으로 합산하여 연차별 평균 안전점수, 안전등급 구성비, 점검진단비용, 보수보강비용, 개축비용을 합리적으로 추정할 수 있다. 향후 목표성능관리수준의 변경에 따른 생애주기 예산의 변화를 추정하여 최적의 관리수준을 제안할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Background: Hypoalbuminemia (serum albumin < 3.5 g/dL) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, costs associated with hypoalbuminemia remain unknown. This study investigated the effect of serum albumin on direct treatment costs, length of stay (LOS), and readmissions for primary and revision THA and TKA patients. Methods: All adult patients at a single institution undergoing primary or revision THA or TKA between January 2014 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were stratified by preoperative serum albumin level. The primary outcome was total direct costs at index hospitalization. Secondary outcomes included LOS and readmission within 30 days. Multivariable regressions were utilized to adjust for demographics and comorbidities. Results: Of 3,785 patients, 114 (3.0%) had hypoalbuminemia. After adjustment, hypoalbuminemia was associated with a 16.2% increase in costs (${\beta}=0.162$; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.112 to 0.213; p < 0.001), representing an average cost increase of $3,383 (95% CI, $2,281 to $4,485) relative to costs for serum albumin > 4.5 g/dL. The increased total costs were significantly higher in revision ($4,322, p = 0.034) than in primary ($3,446, p < 0.001) procedures. In adjusted regression, each 1.0 g/dL increase in serum albumin yielded a 6.6% reduction in costs (${\beta}=-0.066$; 95% CI, -0.090 to -0.042]; p < 0.001), for average savings of $1,282 (95% CI, $759 to $1,806) per unit albumin. Adjusted regressions demonstrated that a 1-point increase in serum albumin reduced readmissions by 53% (odds ratio, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.31-0.73; p = 0.001) and LOS by 0.6 days (${\beta}=-0.60$; 95% CI, -0.76 to -0.44; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Hypoalbuminemia is associated with increased total direct costs, LOS, and readmissions following primary and revision THA and TKA. Future efforts to predict and address total costs should take into consideration the patient's preoperative serum albumin levels.

본 논문은 차세대 압축 표준(high efficiency video coding; HEVC)을 기반으로 하는 계층 간 비디오 압축 코덱의 부호화 속도 향상을 위하여 참조 계층 CU(coding unit) 깊이정보를 참조하여 향상 계층의 CU깊이를 고속으로 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 향상 계층의 CU깊이를 예측하기 위해 먼저, 참조 계층의 대응 CU의 깊이 정보를 참조 한다. 이때, 참조 깊이 기준으로 -1부터 +1까지의 CU깊이에 대한 RDcost만을 계산하여 향상 계층의 최종 CU깊이를 결정한다. 제안하는 방법을 이용하여 향상 계층의 모든 CU깊이에 대한 율-왜곡 최적화(rate-distortion optimization) 과정을 거치지 않고 최종 CU깊이를 결정하기 때문에 계산 복잡도 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 제안하는 방법의 고속화 성능을 평가하기 위해 HM 4.0 기반의 simulcast 계층 간 부호화기를 이용한 결과 제안하는 알고리듬을 적용하지 않은 경우 대비 약 1.4% 정도 이내의 적은 비트율 증가에도 불구하고, 약 26%의 계산 복잡도 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the social welfare value given to the designated rural settlement zone by the resident-participated site unit plan that the City of Cheongju is newly attempting to draft. Firstly, the costs and benefits from the site unit planning were estimated. Secondly, through literature review especially focussed on the benefit and cost estimation, on-site questionnaire was designed, and then sample residents of the qualifying sites were asked about their willingness to pay, which could make it possible to estimate the monetary value of its benefits by the contingent valuation method (CVM). Finally, the present value of net benefits (PVNB) was estimated through the derived costs and benefits. As a result of analysis, firstly, the present value of net benefits (PVNB) was found to be 7,641 billion won, which indicated that the implementation of district-unit plan would be able to cause sufficient social welfare value for the effected residents. Secondly, in examining the result of individual average amount for willingness to pay through the CVM, the area that benefited the most was found to be the road improvement. Thirdly, as a result of sensitivity analysis, the parameter with the most effects was the discount rate, which suggested that, in carrying out public projects, excessive market interest rates would not be appropriate.

A simple algorithm is presented for solving the thermal unit commitment problem which is one of very important areas in economic operation of power systems. This algorithm is based on simple priority ordering by the unit operation cost and it is shown that the operation cost of chosen sets of generators is the minimum. The proposed method differs from the conventional priority-based formulations in that the unit operation are calculated in every load level. Further the poerating reserve requiements are satisfied by the newly derived analytical security function or the expectation of reserve. The proposed method is proven to be very simple, accurate and efficient in a sample system.

In this paper, we show that there exists an optimal investment policy for the surplus in a risk model, in which the surplus is continuously invested to other business at a constant rate a > 0, whenever the level of the surplus exceeds a given threshold V > 0. We assign, to the risk model, two costs, the penalty per unit time while the level of the surplus being under V > 0 and the opportunity cost per unit time by keeping a unit amount of the surplus. After calculating the long-run average cost per unit time, we show that there exists an optimal investment rate $a^*$>0 which minimizes the long-run average cost per unit time, when the claim amount follows an exponential distribution.

With the recent emergence of the 4th Industrial Revolution, the government is promoting the development of smart construction technology and institutional improvement through various policies to induce cutting-edge and technological innovation in the construction industry. As part of such smart construction technology, the application of BIM is being activated, and related regulations and guidelines are constantly being supplemented. In relation to BIM, there are many studies on the fields of library, design standards etc., but research on specific unit price utilization and unit price DB construction for calculating construction cost is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, a basic study was conducted on the linkage of the construction standard market unit price and the BIM library. Based on the basic research conducted in the future, we intend to establish specific standards for calculating BIM-based construction costs.
