The agricultural tractor is a multi-purpose vehicle, which is frequently used in the agricultural field. It must be highly reliable in terms of human safety. Design and analysis of agricultural tractors must be performed using actual agricultural workload to maintain high reliability. Additionally, the frequency with which various components and systems are used must also be taken into consideration. In this study, a tractor is built to measure its workload in the actual field. Further, the measured load was analyzed for various farming tasks. The range of ratios of consumed power to engine power was measured to be 42.6%-87.2%, 75.1%-97%, 26.5%-59.2% for a plow, rotary, and harvest tasks, respectively. The results were fed into a transmission simulation model to analyze the strength and life of the transmission components. We conclude that a more reliable product can be constructed by incorporating the transmission analyses using the actual load.

The inspiratory flow rate of a human is changed with the amount of the workload. The flow characteristic is affected by the inspiratory flow rate. In the flow field of airway, the both of turbulence intensity and secondary flow affect the deposition pattern of particles which is important for the drug-aerosol targeting. Thus the analysis of the flow characteristic in a human airway is important. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the inspiratory flow rate on the flow characteristics in a human airway. The tubular airway is consistent with the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and trachea. The relatively inspiratory flow rate is used at each case of human states regarding the workload. By the effect of geometric airway changes, transition to turbulent airflow after the larynx can occur with relaminarization further downstream. The low Reynolds number k-${\omega}$ turbulence model is used for analysis with flow regime. As the inspiratory flow rate is larger, the turbulence kinetic energy and secondary flow intensity increase in airway. On the other hand, the area of recirculation zone is smaller.

The study suggests a contract model of application operation through case study of A bank's IT outsourcing application contract based on workload. The IT outsourcing order form has a problem in that the scope of work is ambiguous due to the integration of operation and maintenance. In this study, application operation and maintenance were separated by referring to application operation history provided in ISO/IEC15504-5 standard. The scope of the IT outsourcing service was clarified by organizing the definition and detail activities of the application operation business. Application operation contract method has generally applied estimation method by the number of input manpower and period by agreement between buyer and client. As there is no activity to calculate the number of input manpower based on the operational work history and based on the standard workload per activity. In this case is not guaranteed due to the simple agreement between the contractors. In this paper, we propose an application operating cost estimation model that measures the size of the operating software using function point analysis that is the basis of application operation tasks. In order to verify the validity of the application operation cost model, we verified the correlation between the application size and the labor cost through regression analysis using SPSS.

기존의 부하공유에 대한 연구에서는 제안된 방법의 성능을 검증하기 위해서 각 처리기의 부하가 동일한 경우(homogeneous workload)와 각 처리기의 부하가 상이한 경우(heterogeneous workload)에 대해서 실험을 하고 있다. 처리기의 부하가 상이한 경우를 실험하기 위해서는 시스템내의 처리기중에서 부하를 발생시키는 처리기의 갯수, 처리기의 부하를 고부하, 저부하로 나뉘어질때 고부하 처리기의 비율, 그리고 각 처리기의 처리속도가 상이한 경우에 일정한 처리속도를 갖는 처리기의 비율의 변화에 따른 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하고 있다. 그러나 기존의 실험은 안정상태(steady state)의 경우에만 한정되어 있어 하루중 시간대에 따라서 처리기의 부하가 증감하는 현상을 보이는 실시스템의 환경을 정확히 반영하기는 어렵우므로 실험환경이 변화하는 시점, 즉 과도상태(transient state)에 대한 알고리즘의 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 각 처리기의 부하, 또는 시스템의 부하가 일시적으로 증가,또는 감소하는 과도상태하에서 기존의 부하공유 알고리즘의 동작 특성을 실험을 통해서 분석하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 부하공유 알고리즘중에서 송신자-시작, 수신자-시작, 그리고 송수신자-시작 알고리즘을 대상 알고리즘으로 선정하였으며, 성능평가를 위해서는 제출된 작업의 작업반환시간, 각 처리기에서 대기중인 작업의 평균 갯수와 표준편차를 이용하였다.

This paper deals with a cell formation problem for a set of m-machines and n-processing parts. Generally, a cell formation problem is known as NP-completeness. Hence the cell formation problem with multiple objectives is more difficult than single objective problem. The paper considers multiple objectives; minimize number of intercell movements, minimize intracell workload variation and minimize intercell workload variation. We propose a multiple objective genetic algorithms(MOGA) resolving the mentioned three objectives. The MOGA procedure adopted Pareto optimal solution for selection method for next generation and the concept of Euclidean distance from the ideal and negative ideal solution for fitness test of a individual. As we consider several weights, decision maker will be reflected his consideration by adjusting high weights for important objective. A numerical example is given for a comparative analysis with the results of other research.

Purpose: This study was carried out to substantiate the application process of activity-based costing on the current cost of hospital home care (HHC) service. The study materials were documents, 120 client charts, health insurance demand bills, salary of 215 HHC nurses, operating expense, 6 HHC agencies, and 31 HHC nurses. Method: The research was carried out by analyzing the HHC activities and then collecting labor and operating expenses. For resource drivers, HHC activity performance time and workload were studied. For activity drivers, the number of HHC activity performances and the activity number of visits were studied. Result: The HHC activities were classified into 70 activities. In resource, the labor cost was 245￦per minute, operating cost was 9,570￦ per visit and traffic expense was an average of 12,750￦. In resource drivers, education and training had the longest time of 67 minutes. Average length of performance for activities was 13.7 minutes. The workload was applied as a relative value. The average cost of HHC was 62,741￦ and the cost ranged from 55,560￦ to 74,016￦. Conclusion: The fixed base rate for a visit in the current HHC medical fee should be increased. Exclusion from the current fee structure or flexible operation of traveling expenses should be reviewed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to define and clarify the concept of reality shock in new graduated nurses. Methods: The hybrid model was used to develop the concept of reality shock. The model included a field study. The participants were 9 newly graduated nurses with a nursing career spanning less than a year. Results: The reality shock in newly graduated nurses was identified to have three dimensions and seven attributes. Specifically: 1) the dimension of performance included two attributes (conflict between theory and practice, and being overwhelmed by the workload), 2) the dimension of relationship included three attributes (loss of support, embarrassment from interference, and relational withdrawal), 3) the dimension of expectations included two attributes(value confusions and incongruity in personal life). Conclusion: Newly graduated nurses' reality shock was defined as a state of incongruence in their entire life that the new nurses experienced owing to value confusions that occurred due to the conflicts between theory and practice in an unfamiliar work environment, getting overwhelmed by the workload, and withdrawing establishing relationships with others due to the loss of support and excessive interference. These findings could help develop intervention strategies to decrease reality shock in newly graduated nurses.
