Abstract:
It has been shown in ionospheric research that modelling total electron content (TEC) during storm conditions is a big challenge. In this study, mathematical equations were developed to estimate TEC over Sutherland (32.38⁰S, 20.81⁰E), during storm conditions, using the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis, combined with regression analysis. TEC was derived from GPS observations and a geomagnetic storm was defined for Dst ≤ -50 nT. The inputs for the model were chosen based on the factors that influence TEC variation, such as diurnal, seasonal, solar and geomagnetic activity variation, and these were represented by hour of the day, day number of the year, F10.7 and A index respectively. The EOF model was developed using GPS TEC data from 1999 to 2013 and tested on different storms. For the model validation (interpolation), three storms were chosen in 2000 (solar maximum period) and three others in 2006 (solar minimum period), while for extrapolation six storms including three in 2014 and three in 2015 were chosen. Before building the model, TEC values for the selected 2000 and 2006 storms were removed from the dataset used to construct the model in order to make the model validation independent on data. A comparison of the observed and modelled TEC showed that the EOF model works well for storms with non-significant ionospheric TEC response and storms that occurred during periods of low solar activity. High correlation coefficients between the observed and modelled TEC were obtained showing that the model covers most of the information contained in the observed TEC. Furthermore, it has been shown that the EOF model developed for a specific station may be used to estimate TEC over other locations within a latitudinal and longitudinal coverage of 8.7⁰ and 10.6⁰ respectively. This is an important result as it reduces the data dimensionality problem for computational purposes. It may therefore not be necessary for regional storm-time TEC modelling to compute TEC data for all the closest GPS receiver stations since most of the needed information can be extracted from measurements at one location.

Abstract:
Approved for public release
The proliferation of Fourth Generation (4G) mobile wireless networks has led to an increased demand for position-based services. In many densely populated environments, there is an abundance of base stations by which a mobile station may be passively geographically located (geolocated) using various techniques that require multiple base stations. Areas in which base station density is sparse may not possess the requisite number of base stations to perform such techniques and, therefore, require different methods by which to geolocate mobile stations. In this thesis, we present a passive geolocation scheme that only requires observation of the initial ranging information exchange between a mobile station and a single base station in order to determine a position estimate for the mobile station. The scheme is specifically applied to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) 4G standard. The method is validated through computer simulation and field experimentation in an Alcatel-Lucent IEEE 802.16e-2005 deployed network. The mean geolocation error resulting from simulation and experimentation was 85 meters, which is a degradation of 58 meters compared to a three-base station scenario.

Abstract:
The navigation tasks in advanced home robotic applications incorporating reliable revisiting strategies are dependent on very low cost but nevertheless rather accurate localization systems. In this paper a localization system based on the principle of trilateration is described. The proposed system uses only a single small base station, but achieves accuracies comparable to systems using spread beacons and it performs sufficiently for map building. Thus it is a standalone system and needs no odometry or other auxiliary sensors. Furthermore a new approach for the problem of the reliably detection of areas without direct line of sight is presented. The described system is very low cost and it is designed for use in indoor service robotics. The paper gives an overview on the system concept and special design solutions and proves the possible performances with experimental results.

The marine environment strongly affects the use of naval weapons and sensor systems. The ducting of electromagnetic energy is one of the most important influences in modern systems. The ability to describe the atmosphere is the first step in producing a realistic forecast. This study shows that in the eastern Mediterranean Sea the observed soundings appear to have a systematic error in the lower sections of the mixed layer. This, coupled with the synoptic scale changes in the atmosphere, causes single station forecasting scheme to fail. The thesis emphasizes two points: 1) the need for an accurate description of the atmosphere is paramount to any forecast. 2) the users of any single station forecast must use their knowledge of the models and compare the model results to the other information on hand to determine whether or not the prediction is reliable.

Abstract:

Although Sasebo, Japans, harbor is usually a typhoon haven from tropical cyclone winds, due to terrain-blocking effects, in rare cases damaging winds occur that may be attributed to terrain channeling. Prediction techniques are developed and tested to improve forecast capability of maximum sustained winds and wind gusts that are the basis for tropical cyclone conditions of readiness. Verification observations from a site that was available during 19901998 were found to provide a false sense of security due to its urban location and 13 m anemometer height. Representing the Sasebo terrain effects with a large database of reanalysis winds had limited success unless the top 1000 wind speeds from each cardinal wind direction were used. A parametric wind model that utilized the JTWC wind radii to represent the wind profile shape resulted in better local wind prediction at Sasebo and a small, flat island, but demonstrated the requirement for a wind-reduction factor to represent frictional effects. This parametric wind model, which is multiplied by directionally-dependent acceleration factors to represent Sasebo terrain effects, was most successful for an independent sample of tropical cyclones passing within 200 nautical miles of Sasebo from 20112012 and for selected forecast case studies.

Full text
Abstract:
IEEE 802.16 is a point to multipoint broadband wireless access standard, designed from ground up for fast and reliable mobile networking. Several location-related MAC layer fields specified in the standard indicate that WiMAX networks can be convenient backbones for future positioning systems. Information encapsulated in MAC headers is especially important for single base station positioning systems which require fewer network resources than multiple reference station location systems, but need more location-related input data. In this thesis, an algorithm for positioning mobile stations in a single base station network is presented to investigate location capability of WiMAX systems. The algorithm makes use of fingerprinting to create a training database and seeks to find locations of mobile stations by tracking them according to their signal parameters. Experimental results give an idea about how a single base station positioning system performs in the absence of sufficient location-related data, and suggest that better results can be obtained if MAC headers specified in IEEE 802.16 standard can be accessed.

Abstract:
The KiK-net ground motion database is used to develop ground motion prediction equations for Arias Intensity (Ia), 5-95% Significant Duration (Ds5-95), and 5-75% Significant Duration (Ds5-75). Relationships are developed both for shallow crustal earthquakes and subduction zone earthquakes (hypocentral depth less than 45 km). The models developed consider site amplification using VS30 and the depth to a layer with VS=800 m/s (h800). We observe that the site effect for is magnitude dependent. For Ds5-95 and Ds5-75, we also observe strong magnitude dependency in distance attenuation. We compare the results with previous GMPEs for Japanese earthquakes and observe that the relationships are similar. The results of this study also allow a comparison between earthquakes in shallow-crustal regions, and subduction regions. This comparison shows that Arias Intensity has similar magnitude and distance scaling between both regions and generally Arias Intensity of shallow crustal motions are higher than subduction motions. On the other hand, the duration of shallow crustal motions are longer than subduction earthquakes except for records with large distance and small magnitude causative earthquakes. Because small shallow crustal events saturate with distance, ground motions with large distances and small magnitudes have shorter duration for shallow crustal events than subduction earthquakes.

Abstract:

Railway transportation is showing a substantial increase. Investments in new infrastructure, new fast and comfortable vehicles, and high frequency of service are important factors behind the increase.

Infrastructure configuration and timetable construction play important roles in the competitiveness of railway transportation. This is especially true on single-track lines where the travel times and other timetable related parameters are severely restricted by crossings (train meetings). The crossings also make the lines’ operation more sensitive to disturbances.

Since the major part of the Swedish railway network is single-track it is of great interest to examine the relationships between operation properties, such as travel times and reliability, and infrastructure configuration on single-track lines. The crossings are the core feature of single-track operation and this thesis focuses on the crossing time, i.e. the time loss that occurs in crossing situations.

A simplified analytical model, SAMFOST, has been developed to calculate the crossing time as a function of infrastructure configuration, vehicle properties, timetable and delays for two crossing trains. The effect of possible surrounding trains is not taken into account and all kinds of congestion effects are thus excluded from evaluation. SAMFOST has been successfully validated against the simulation tool RailSys, which shows that this type of simplified model is accurate in non-congested situations.

A great advantage of disregarding congested situations is that analysis is independent of timetable assumptions. The model also explicitly shows the effect of punctuality, which is of particular importance on single-track lines where the interdependencies between trains are strengthened by the crossings.

For the same reason, the timetable is severely constrained. Nonetheless, there is often a need for changes of the timetable (crossing pattern). The thesis proposes three simple measures of timetable flexibility, all based on assigned crossing time requirements. Together, these measures can be used to evaluate how infrastructure configuration, vehicle properties, punctuality etc affect possibilities to alter the timetable.

As an example of its application, SAMFOST has been used to evaluate the effect of shorter inter-station distance, partial double-track and combined crossing and passenger stop. These measures affect the operational properties quite differently.

More crossing stations result in a minor decrease in travel time (lower mean crossing time) but significantly higher reliability (lower crossing time variance). These effects are independent of punctuality, which is a valuable property.

A partial double-track results in shorter travel times and in some cases also higher reliability. Both effects are strongly dependent on punctuality and high punctuality is needed to achieve high effects.

A combined crossing and passenger stop results in a situation similar to that of a partial double-track. In this case it is important to point out that the assignment of time supplements in the timetable should be directly correlated to punctuality in order to achieve good operation.

Sammanfattning   Förutsättning   I examensarbetet har det ingått ett verkligt ärende som handläggs av mig som MBK-ingenjör inom Lantmäteriet. Det är ett naturvårdsuppdrag från Länsstyrelsen och innefattar bl a inmätning och utstakning av gräns på ett blivande naturreservat.   Naturvårdsuppdraget Huskeberget ligger ca 5 km norr om Södra Finnskoga och sydväst om Höljes i norra Värmland. Omkrets 2,38 km. Områdets höjd är ca 550 m över havet och ligger på sydöstra sluttningen av Huskeberget.   Fix   Lantmäteriet använder idag Leica Viva CS15/GS15 mätutrustning vid inmätning av brytpunkter och gränser. I detta fall det blivande naturreservatet. Under vissa omständigheter kan det ta tid att få fix-lösning eller helt utebli. Dessa omständigheter kan bero på ett flertal faktorer bl a kraftiga jonosfärsstörningar och/eller GPRS-nätets täckningsområde för mottagning av SWEPOS nätverks-RTK tjänst.   Inriktning   Fokus har lagts på att utvärdera ett alternativ till nätverks-RTK, en sk enkelstations-RTK med uppkoppling till en tillfällig referensstation.   Närmare undersökning har gjorts på tiden för initialisering vid varje enskild inmätning som sedan jämförts i de två mätmetoderna. Tiden för själva arbetet sätts sedan i relation till resultatet från undersökningen för att ge en helhetsbild av tidsåtgång i arbetet med vardera mätmetoden.   Resultat   Efter alla brytpunkter mätts in visade det sig att i just det här området inte fanns några anmärkningsvärda problem att få fix-lösning med någon av de valda mätmetoderna. Resultatet visar därmed små skillnader i tidsjämförelser.   En oplanerad testmätning med nätverks-RTK gjordes i tät skog alldeles intill en inmätt brytpunkt utan framgång att få fix-lösning. Detta för att belysa problematiken med att få fix-lösning vid mätning i tät skog.   Rapporten innehåller en kortfattad beskrivning av delar av arbetet i Lantmäteriets handläggning av naturvårdsuppdrag.

Abstract:
GNSS-teknik ersätter i allt högre grad terrester mätteknik, dels på grund av sin enkelhet och dels på grund av att den är mindre kostsam än traditionella metoder. En vanlig förekommande GNSS-teknik är RTK (Real Time Kinematic) som är en teknik som beräknar en position i realtid genom bärvågsmätning. Inom RTK-mätning finns det olika tekniker att utöva; enkelstations-RTK (ERTK) och nätverks-RTK (NRTK). I studien undersöktes kvaliteten och lägesosäkerhet på höjdbestämningsdata erhållen från dessa metoder. En envägs variansanalys (ANOVA) användes för att undersöka om det fanns en signifikant skillnad mellan de genomsnittliga avvikelser som erhölls från mätmetoderna. Mätmetoderna utfördes över två punkter med känd höjd som fastställdes tidigare med ett dubbelavvägningståg. ERTK och NRTK varvades med en observationstid på 20 minuter med positioneringsintervall på 3 sekunder. Tidseparationen mellan mätningarna varade i 30 minuter och sammanlagt utfördes 5 mätserier med 400 observationer i varje serie. Grova fel eliminerades genom att kassera värden som föll utanför 3σ-gränsen. Resultaten från ERTK-mätningarna visade att punkten kunde höjdbestämmas med en lägesosäkerhet på 22 mm och en mätosäkerhet på 32 mm (2σ) för samtliga mätserier tillsammans. Internt varierade lägesosäkerheten 13–28 mm mellan serierna. NRTK mätningarna erhöll en total lägesosäkerhet på 14 mm och en mätosäkerhet på 24 mm (2σ). Från enskilda mätserier erhöll serie 3 den lägsta lägesosäkerheten på 9 mm, och serie 4 den högsta med 18 mm. Generellt visade NRTK-metoden lägre och jämnare avvikelser från referensdata än ERTK, resultatet kan dock ha blivit påverkat av basens läge i relation till ett närliggande träd. ANOVA-testet visade att det fanns en signifikant skillnad mellan mätserierna (p =0,00) per enskild metod, men skillnaden av medelavvikelserna mellan dessa metoder var inte signifikanta (p =0,115). Resultatet från denna studie är viktig med avseende på kvalitetsutvärdering av olika GNSS-metoder och kan användas som underlag för beslut om tillämpad metod för andra mätuppdrag.
A quality survey was performed on the position accuracy of two GNSS-methods (single station-RTK and network-RTK) for height determination, and a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for statistical investigation of differences in the spread of height deviations. The GNSS-methods were applied on a reference point, which was determined prior with leveling, and measured with 20 minutes observation time and 30 minutes time separation, resulting in 5 series containing 400 observations each from respective method. The ANOVA test was performed by grouping the height deviations with respect to the measurement series, as well as the mean deviations with respect to the methods. Height determination with the ERTK method showed a total positional uncertainty of 22 mm (13-28 mm between the series) and a measurement uncertainty of 32 mm (2σ). Results obtained with NRTK showed a total positional uncertainty of 14 mm (9-14 between the series) and a total measurement uncertainty of 24 mm (2σ). The statistical tests showed that the differences between the measurement series for individual methods were significant (p = 0,000) but that the mean deviations between the methods were not (p = 0,115). NRTK obtained a lower positional uncertainty than ERTK measurements in this study, and the ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference in the distribution of the mean deviations between the measurement methods. This study is important with regard to quality evaluation of different GNSS-methods and can be used as a basis for deciding on the applied measurement method.

ITC/USA 2013 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Ninth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 21-24, 2013 / Bally's Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
The flight test mission services need higher data rates due to increased system complexity and the need for more accurate, higher rate, and better data acquisition. The existing L or S band frequency spectrum allocation was a limiting factor to meet this increased data rate requirement. The World Radio-communication Conference (WRC 2007) attributed new additional frequency spectrum allocations in the C band for Aeronautical Mobile Telemetry (AMT). The international flight test community has taken this opportunity to immediately take advantage of the new C-band range 5091-5250MHz. This paper presents the multi-band feed product designed by the RF & Antenna Laboratory of ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS company. This feed is foreseen to be used in prime focus configuration on any diameter parabola dish providing telemetry and tracking channels in three L, S, and C bands. Here, are described the concept and the technology achieved taking into consideration the performance and industrial constraints. Moreover, this contribution focuses on the electromagnetic simulations of radiating elements, the feed network and RF system integration. This paper is structured as follows: firstly, the objectives and the motivation for developing a prime focus feed which works in L, S, C bands are presented. In particular, the market constraints and approach to find the best solution satisfying the feed RF requirements, and mechanical constraints, such as weight, size and cost, are discussed. The second section describes the 5 step development cycle: principle and technology, design of the telemetry channels and tracking function, cohabitation of the different radiating elements, and problems of the channels isolations. The third section discusses the performance achieved using electromagnetic simulations. The fourth section talks about the integration of RF system feed. The paper concludes by discussing future work using the same concept that is applied to other telecommunication or telemetry frequency bands.

Abstract:
This thesis shows the advantages of simple models for analysis of railway operation. It presents two tools for infrastructure and timetable planning. It shows how the infrastructure can be analysed through fictive line designs, how the timetable can be treated as a variable and how delays can be used as performance measures. The thesis also gives examples of analyses of complex traffic situations through simulation experiments. Infrastructure configuration, timetable design and delays play important roles in the competitiveness of railway transportation. This is especially true on single-track lines where the run times and other timetable related parameters are severely restricted by crossings (train meetings). The first half of this thesis focuses on the crossing time, i.e. the time loss that occurs in crossing situations. A simplified analytical model, SAMFOST, has been developed to calculate the crossing time as a function of infrastructure configuration, vehicle properties, timetable and delays for two crossing trains. Three measures of timetable flexibility are proposed and they can be used to evaluate how infrastructure configuration, vehicle properties, punctuality etc affect possibilities to alter the timetable. Double-track lines operated with mixed traffic show properties similar to those of single-tracks. In this case overtakings imply scheduled delays as well as risk of delay propagation. Two different methods are applied for analysis of double-tracks: a combinatorial, mathematical model (TVEM) and simulation experiments. TVEM, Timetable Variant Evaluation Model, is a generic model that systematically generates and evaluates timetable variants. This method is especially useful for mixed traffic operation where the impact of the timetable is considerable. TVEM may also be used for evaluation of different infrastructure designs. Analyses performed in TVEM show that the impact on capacity from the infrastructure increases with speed differences and frequency of service for the passenger trains, whereas the impact of the timetable is strongest when the speed differences are low and/or the frequency of passenger services is low. Simulation experiments were performed to take delays and perturbations into account. A simulation model was set up in the micro simulation tool RailSys and calibrated against real operational data. The calibrated model was used for multi-factor analysis through experiments where infrastructure, timetable and perturbation factors were varied according to an experimental design and evaluated through response surface methods. The additional delay was used as response variable. Timetable factors, such as frequency of high-speed services and freight train speed, turned out to be of great importance for the additional delay, whereas some of the perturbation factors, i.e. entry delays, only showed a minor impact. The infrastructure factor, distance between overtaking stations, showed complex relationships with several interactions, principally with timetable factors.

Abstract:
Ce travail est une contribution à la mise au point d’un outil de caractérisation de la biodégradabilité de la matière organique dissoute des eaux. La méthodologie développée vise à être applicable sur tout le continuum aquatique, formé par le réseau d’assainissement, la station d’épuration et le milieu naturel récepteur, dans le but de répondre aux besoins de gestion intégrée de la pollution domestique urbaine. La méthodologie développée résulte du couplage de deux méthodes de caractérisation de la biodégradabilité de la matière organique : la méthode respiromètrique développée par Xu et Hasselblad (1996) qui permet de quantifier la fraction de matière organique rapidement biodégradable et la méthode en batch de Tusseau et al. (2003) qui permet de quantifier les fractions réfractaire et biodégradable. L’interprétation des données expérimentales se fait via l’utilisation d’un modèle mathématique (modèle ASM3 développé par un groupe de travail de l’International Water Assosiation – IWA). Une méthode d’assimilation de données, basée sur la théorie du contrôle optimal, nous a permis de combiner de façon optimale modèle et résultats des deux méthodes afin d’aboutir à un fractionnement de la matière organique en classes de biodégradabilité. Les résultats obtenus lors de la biodégradation d’un substrat rapidement biodégradable (l’acétate), noté SS dans le modèle, ont permis de valider le bon fonctionnement du modèle ASM3 et de développer un modèle dérivé (modèle ASM3z). Par la suite, ce modèle a encore été modifié pour permettre la bonne simulation et l’interprétation des résultats expérimentaux obtenus sur des eaux usées domestiques prélevées en entrée et sortie d’une station d’épuration. Cette modification a consisté à ajouter un compartiment de matière organique dissoute (noté S2) plus lentement biodégradable que SS et ce nouveau modèle est noté ASM3z_S2. Les résultats obtenus sont satisfaisants et montrent qu’il est possible de quantifier S2 et SS, dans des eaux usées domestiques en utilisant des expériences réalisées avec une large gamme de rapports substrat/biomasse bactérienne (S0/X0). Enfin ce modèle a été appliqué, lors d’une même optimisation, sur des eaux usées brutes, des eaux traitées et des eaux de rivière. Ce travail a mis en évidence l’importance de parvenir à une excellente homogénéisation de la biomasse utilisée lors des tests respirométriques.

This paper describes new concepts of test mean and processes to perform flight test for all Airbus aircraft family. The FTI (Flight Test Installation) designed for A320, A340, A380 and A350 programs include acquisition system, recorder, data processing, visualisation, Flight Test Engineer Station and optional functionalities (video acquisition, DGPS, telemetry ...) In the past, these test means were specific for each test aircraft. Due to the large number of Aircraft development in parallel Airbus has designed and standardized new tests means for development and production aircraft. The first goal is to generate significant benefits regarding time and costs savings by simplifying installation and reusing all the test installations components. This paper shows the opportunities and challenges of these new concepts.

Production flow control has significant impacts on the delivery performance such as output volume, cycle time and on time delivery. A modern factory is often operated under distributed control architecture. Output delivery specifications for a factory can be translated into performance requirements of individual production entities such as machine groups within the factory. When shop floor performance requirements are closely mapped to delivery specifications, individual controller may then operate locally to meet their local performance requirements while effectively achieving the overall delivery specifications. This thesis focuses on two control operations to meet the local performance requirements of individual machine group: monitoring and machine allocation. First, we adopt statistical process control (SPC) based schemes as the monitoring mechanism for production flow to assess if the progress of production is normal or abnormal with respect to achieving performance requirements. To investigate whether SPC concepts can be applied to production flow control (PFC), we study the simplest but representative M/M/1 queueing system and investigate the detection of the shift in mean arrival and service rate by monitoring the sequence of transformed conditioned cycle times (TCCTs). Monitoring statistics, TCCTs, are derived according to the following innovative ideas. The cycle time changes among individual jobs are independent because of the Markovian property of M/M/1 queue. We therefore monitor the conditioned cycle time (CCT) of each job given the cycle time of its proceeding job. Although the CCTs of individual jobs are independent, they do not have either identical or normal distribution. A transformation is taken to transform CCTs into transformed CCTs (TCCTs) which are of independent and identically normal distributions. Two SPC-based control schemes, Shewhart and EWMA, are applied to monitoring such statistics for shift detection. Performance evaluation by simulation demonstrates that the rate shifts in a M/M/1 system are hardly detected by the Shewhart control scheme. Although they can be detected by EWMA control scheme under a good choice of parameters, the detection by the scheme is not fast enough when applied to a high-variety and low-volume manufacturing system. The effect of applying SPC-based schemes to PFC is therefore skeptical. We then study machine capacity allocation of a single machine system for meeting the local performance requirements. In the system, the machine is failure-prone and service rate adjustable. A service rate policy is proposed and analyzed, where different service rates imply the different machine capacity allocated to job processing. The policy assigns a slower service rate to the machine when the number of jobs waiting in the queue is no more than k and a faster mean rate otherwise. The relationship between performance metrics such as system size and the queue length and the control parameter are derived. And we also contribute to the derivation of inter-departure time distribution. As a result of the analysis, we derive the statistics of local performance requirements, including mean, variance, and squared coefficient of variation (SCV). The aspect of variability, i.e. second order statistics, as well as mean value is taken into consideration. Numerical experimentation shows that the service rate control policy has good effects of control in both mean and variance of queue length and system size. However, the variance of the inter-departure time is insensitive to service rate control policy. From these analysis and derivations, we not only understand the properties of the service rate control policy but also learn how to apply it to achieve the local performance requirements.

In this thesis, a single-conductor leaky-wave antenna(SCLWA) is proposed. By using spectral domain approach(SDA) analysis, we obtain the propagation constant of this antenna. We find that the phase constant β of this antenna is close to the wave number in the air k0. By the leakage angle equation of leaky-wave antenna, we find that this antenna radiate toward end-fire direction. We use this SCLWA to be the unit element and design sector beam antenna arrays which radiate toward end-fire direction. We also propose a sector antenna array beam composite method. Using this method, we easily estimate the radiation patterns of sector antenna array. By changing the radius and spacing angle and the length of antenna, we obtain the desire half power beamwidth(HPBW) radiation pattern and reduce the ripple effect. Then we design two sets of single-conductor leaky-wave sector antenna arrays, which have five-,and six-elements, respectively. Beamwidth are 70° and 90° respond to the above antenna arrays. Then we place four identical sector antenna array toward different direction. After adding an RF single pole four throw (SP4T) switch fabrication, the HPBW of the switchable sector antenna arrays are 280° and 360°. Because of the limitation of fabrication technology, the second set of sector antenna array is not achieved. The simulation and measurement result will be presented.

Due to frequent earthquakes in Taiwan, Probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) is a common approach to evaluate potential earthquake motions at sites of critical facilities such a nuclear power plant and dams. It includes the estimation of the earthquake magnitude and distance of source, and earthquake intensity at a site. Ground motion prediction equation (GMPE) reflects the fact that the amplitude of the ground-motion increases with earthquake magnitude and decreases with propagation distance. Modern GMPEs are based on datasets of ground-motion parameters recorded at multiple stations and different earthquakes in various source regions. It causes excessive variability and leads to increase seismic hazard estimates. In the present study, only strong-motion data record at a site is selected to establish a GMPE. We processed strong-motion data from TSMIP in Taiwan which used these data to establish GMPEs. A total of 30602 records are selected and are used to accomplish the regression analysis of a regional GMPE in the first step. Then, 9 stations are selected to complele a single-station GMPE, respectively. The results reveal that the sigma of the regional GMPE is 0.626 in ln unit and the sigma of single-station GMPE is ranging 0.416 to 0.567. The single-station sigma is about 9% to 33% reduction from the regional one. When PSHA is performed by adopting the single-station sigma, the hazard is 11% to 48% smaller then that regional sigma is used. If source zones are further involved in GMPEs, the sigma of single-station GMPEs can reduced 16% to 36% relative to regional GMPE's. It is expected to further reduce the result of seismic hazard analysis.

The sigma (standard deviation) of ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) has great impact on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). Therefore, how to properly evaluate the sigma has been a crucial issue currently. There are abundant earthquake data in Taiwan, and it is one of the most earthquake-related research suitable sites. In this study, we update the ground-motion relationship for north eastern Taiwan subduction zone earthquakes by establishing new sets of interface and intraslab earthquakes GMPE. Moreover, single-station GMPEs are done for the purpose of reduction of the sigma due to elimination of the variability from site effect. In this study, ground-motion data of subduction zone for both interface and intraslab earthquakes are obtained from the Taiwan Strong-Motion Instrumentation Program (TSMIP). A total of 175 earthquakes and 14,660 records with moment magnitude greater than 4.0 are selected to establish PGA attenuation relationship. We chose the general usage of the functional forms by reviewing of previous studies. Each candidate term in the form was tested with Taiwan data set. The final form is generally similar to the form proposed by Lin and Lee (2008), besides a quadratic magnitude term, a VS30 term and a focal mechanism term were added. The coefficients of the equation are determined through non-linear regression analysis using maximum likelihood method (MLE) and mixed-effects model. Generally speaking, ground-motion from subduction zone earthquakes decay slower and may spread longer distances. The results show that intraslab earthquakes generally predict higher PGA than that of interface earthquakes. Both regional GMPE and 44 single-station GMPEs are done in this study. Comparing the sigma of regional GMPE and single-station GMPEs, the total sigmas of single-station GMPE are smaller than the regional sigma with a reduction rate from 1.5% to 37.0%, averaging 21.7%. In a comparison of the reduction rate between different regions, the evaluated from stations in Hualien have highest reduction rate, whereas that evaluated from stations in Ilan are the lowest. Such a difference might be due to different source and path effects.

Due to the intense competition in the global market, if manufacturing system has great ability to produce efficiently and economically, it can provide services to the customers with shorter response time, and the products will have higher competitiveness in the global market. Therefore the appropriate management decisions for production are getting more and more important. In our study, we consider an single-station production system without the reservation mechanism that produces standard products for ordinary demands and custom products for specific demands. Custom products are made by alternating the existing standard ones from inventory with additional works and base-stock control policy is applied to control the production of the standard product. In this system, the production of the custom products for specific demands has higher priority than the production of the standard product. The fill rate of the ordinary demand and the on-time-delivery-rate of the specific demand are considered as the measures of the qualities of service. By assuming an Markovian system, qualities of service under base-stock policy are derived; furthermore, the optimal base-stock level can be obtained numerically under the requirements on the qualities of services.

Currently, ionospheric delays are the major cause of GPS positioning errors. To solve these errors, dual-frequency measurements may be used. However, dual-frequency instruments are expensive to fabricate. By contrast, a single-frequency receiver combined with an appropriate ionospheric model may achieve the same result; a suitable model can elevate positioning accuracy while lowering overall costs and the amount of materials required. Electron density inside the ionosphere changes over time and varies between different regions, altitudes, and solar power levels. In this study, observation data obtained using GPS at a continuously operating reference station in Taichung were used to build regional ionospheric models. In addition, a single-layer model was utilized to test the hypothetical thin spherical shell heights at different time periods to assess the ionospheric delay errors created and the effects of these errors on positioning accuracy. The objectives were to identify the optimal thin spherical shell height for each time period and to inform GPS single-frequency receiver users regarding what parameters to choose when engaging in ionosphere revisions, effectively enhancing positioning accuracy. First part of the study, three thin spherical shell heights (350, 400, and 450 km) were selected to construct the regional ionospheric models, which were subsequently compared with the IGS global ionospheric model. The experiment results showed that the regional ionospheric models fabricated using the three thin spherical shell heights displayed trends similar to those of the IGS global ionospheric model. Accordingly, this study hypothesized that an increase of thin spherical shell height by 50 km in the thin ionospheric model increases electron content by an average of approximately 3.2 TECU. Second part of the study, A single-frequency, single-point positioning test was performed for 16 time periods, use of regional ionospheric model with a thin spherical shell height of 400 km yielded the greatest positioning accuracy improvement, and that such an improvement was approximately 30% superior to that generated by the IGS global ionospheric model. Finally hypothesized that an increase of spherical shell height by 10 km to single-point positioning test the experiment results showed that the regional ionospheric models appropriate height of Taichung City was 390~420km.

Abstract:

Earthquake backazimuth estimation using a single three -component digital seismograph has been investigated. A three-dimensional principal components method formed the basic computational technique. Other details of the backazimuth estimation procedure were varied to determine the optimum approach. The data set comprised aftershocks of the 1988 Tennant Creek earthquakes, recorded on a number of stations in, or close to, the source zone. Epicentral distances (3.5 to 25 km) were unusually small compared to the data sets of others who have used similar techniques.

Complex geology challenged the accuracy of results. The most likely causes of error were believed to be the interruption of source -receiver wave travel paths by fault planes, and complex site geology. This included outcrops of highly deformed rocks, and proximity to a large intrusive body of anomalous character. Errors of 180° were common, possibly due to the low velocity surface layers.

Single station estimates were compared to reference backazimuths from network locations, determined by "EQLOCL" (SRC, RMIT), a program based on the least -squares travel -time approach. Approximately 75% of backazimuth discrepancies, projected into the range -90 to +90°, were less than or equal to 20°. This outcome indicates that the investigated technique can be successfully used to estimate earthquake backazimuth in at least some complex geologic receiver settings, and at short epicentral distances.
