The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of distant-water longline fishing vessels in the Pacific Ocean and the gap in efficiencies among individual vessels. In order to estimate the efficiency, the dependent variable is set as an amount of catch and independent variables include number of crew, number of hooks, number of vessel size, and vessels engine power associated with fishing activities of distant water longline fisheries. Analytical result was shown as follows: first, the average efficiency of distant-water longline fishing vessels in the Pacific Ocean was found to be 94%. Second, the number of hooks were found to be statistically significant in each input variable and the appropriate control of the number of hooks would be expected to have a positive effect on the efficiency. Third, the relationship between the age of a vessel and the efficiency was not found statistically.

A stochastic Hamilton variational principle(SHVP) is formulated for dynamic problems of linear continuum. The SHVP allows incorporation of probabilistic distributions into the finite element analysis. The formulation is simplified by transformation of correlated random variables to a set of uncorrelated random variables through a standard eigenproblem. A procedure based on the Fourier analysis and synthesis is presented for eliminating secularities from the perturbation approach. In addition to, a method to analyse stochastic design sensitivity for structural dynamics is present. A combination of the adjoint variable approach and the second order perturbation method is used in the finite element codes. An alternative form of the constraint functional that holds for all times is introduced to consider the time response of dynamic sensitivity. The algorithms developed can readily be adapted to existing deterministic finite element codes. The numerical results for stochastic analysis by proceeding approach of cantilever, 2D-frame and 3D-frame illustrates in this paper.

The study examines the efficiency of private sector banks in India with the help of Window DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) for a period from 2005 to 2017. With a window of three years, the period was divided into 11 windows. The study outcomes show that 59.9% of all private sector banks in India operate at more than 0.9 level of efficiency, and there are only three occasions when banks were operating at the efficiency value between 0.6 to 0.7. Further, the consistency in the efficiency scores of the banks has also been analyzed using an efficiency mapping matrix, and the mean efficiency score of the bank in each window is studied. The score of standard deviation was interpreted accordingly for these banks. Banks that are showing the highest efficiency scores also have a higher variance of efficiency scores. There was no bank identified in the matrix that promises high-efficiency ratings with low variability. The study concludes that the analysis of the efficiency mapping matrix indicates that, as a DMU escalates in the efficiency scores, the standard deviation reflecting the risk in overall efficiency scores also tends to rise. The findings complement the concept of higher risk to higher return or greater efficiency

Recently many research and investment have been made for waste biomass to bio solid fuel development in Korea. In this study, monte-carlo simulation is applied to estimate the bio solid fuel product quality made from various biomass as raw materials. Commercial biomass and waste biomass raw material samples were collected to investigate the basic properties and to predict mixed effect to solid bio-fuel product. The results show that predicted subject properties about applying a single quality items was reasonable, but for mixed biomass raw material, correlations and logical relevance of several items will be need to assume that require additional consideration for it. The stochastic techniques established through this study will be applicable to bio-solid fuel product development with a variety of waste biomass.

3차원 추계학적 방법을 사용하여 성층화된 흙에서 유효 비포화투수계수를 유도하였다. 성층화된 흙의 상관길이는 차이가 있기 때문에 추계학식이 단순화되면서 유효 비포화투수계수에 대한 일반식을 해석적으로 유도할 수 있게 된다. 또한 평균흐름이 특정한 범위(습윤전선, 젖음과정, 마름과정)에서 유효한 단순화된 점근식을 유도하였다. 예증으로 이론적인 결과를 가상 점토에 적용하였다. 그 결과 유효 비포화투수계수는 거시적인 이력현상을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 거시적인
