A real-time single reservoir operation model using the Min-max Dynamic Programming for the flood control of Soyanggang Dam and Choongju Dam is developed. The objective function is to minimize the maximum release from each dam and the constraints are those from ther reservoir and channel characteristics. Control and utilization efficiencies are used to measure the performance of the reservoir operation method (ROM). In comparison with those of simulation models(such as the Rigid ROM, the Technical ROM and the Linear Decision Rule), the efficiencies of the optimization model are superior for all return periods.

Purpose: We tried to establish the reproducibility of the measurement of maximal elastance (Emax) and to compare the degree of the reproducibility of two estimation methods: single pressure-volume loop method and parameter optimization method. Materials and methods: In 47 patients (42 males and 5 females, $53{\pm}10$ years old) with suspected coronary artery disease (election fraction; 22-68%), gated Tc-99m MIBI myocardial SPECT and arterial tonometry were acquired. In 11 patients among these 47 patients, gated SPECT and tonometry were performed twice consecutively with patients in situ. Emax and void volume (Vo) were estimated using single pressure-volume loop method of Lee and parameter optimization method based on linear approximation of Yoshizawa. Correlation between the consecutive measurements by each method and correlation between the two estimation methods were compared. Results: Reproducibility of Emax (r=0.96) and Vo (r=0.99) by single pressure-volume method was better than the reproducibility of Emax (r=0.89) and Vo (r=0.64) by parameter optimization method. Correlations of Emax and Vo were fair between the two methods. The correlation of Emax (r=0.77) was better than that of Vo (r=0.55). Conclusion: Reproducibility of Emax measurement by single pressure-volume loop method using gated myocardial SPECT and arterial tonometry was excellent. Reproducibility by parameter optimization method was also fair but was less than that achieved by single pressure-volume method.

As an attempt to make the multi-objection for the line design of the rope way, the resulted formulas from the catenary curve as exact ones were summarized, and it was found out that the Kuhn-Tucker's optimality conditions and regions of the objective functions can analytically be expressed with dimensionless parameters. The Pareto's optimum solution set was analytically obtained through the objective function-the minimum relation of $W^{*}$, and $W^{*}$ is a trade-off relation. From this, The dimension of a rope and the value of an initial tension that are the standard in design of the rope way were determined. It was concluded that $V^{*}$ should become minimum, and that the ratio of the dimension of rope to the value of and initial tension become larger than superposition factor corresponding to curve AB.to curve AB.

Separating a mixture having an azeotrope or low relative volatility with single distillation column is difficult. Separating water-acetic acid mixture and water-ethanol mixture with a distillation column consumes a lot of energy. Pervaporation membrane can be used to separate the mixture in the concentration region where separation is difficult with distillation. We simulated a distillation-membrane hybrid process where membrane is located on the head of the distillation column for efficient separation of water-acetic acid and water-ethanol mixture. Permeability data were obtained from experiments and literature. We formulated an optimization problem for the process with total annual cost (TAC) as an objective function and major design variables as optimization variables. Major optimization variable affecting TAC of the hybrid process was shown to be distillate concentration. We also suggested a simplified optimization procedure to get a close-to-optimal solution.

The optimization problems, based on Pontryagin's Maximum Principle, for minimizing (damping) Xenon spatial oscillations in Load Following operations of Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) is presented. The optimization model is formulated as an optimal tracking problem with quadratic objective functional. The oen-group diffusion equations and Xe-I dynamic equations are defined as equality constraints. By applying the maximum principle, the original problem is decomposed into a single time problem with no constraints. The resultant subproblems are optimized by using the conjugate Gradient Method. The computational results show that the Xenon spatial oscillation is minimized, and the reactor follows the load demand of the electrical power systems while maintaining the desired power distribution.

Two global optimization methods, the SCE-UA method and the Annealing-Simplex(A-S) method for calibrating a daily rainfall-runoff model, a Tank model, was compared with that of the Downhill Simplex method. In synthetic data study, 100% success rates for all objective functions were obtained from the A-S method, and the SCE-UA method was also consistently able to obtain good estimates. The Downhill Simplex method was converged to the true values only when the initial guess was close to the true values. In the historical data study, the A-S method and the SCE-UA method showed consistently good results regardless of objective function. An objective function was developed, which puts more weight on the low flows.

Preference ordering approach is applied to optimize the parameters of Tank model using multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA). As more than three multi-objective functions are used in MOGA, too many non-dominated optimal solutions would be obtained thus the stakeholder hardly find the best optimal solution. In order to overcome this shortcomings of MOGA, preference ordering method is employed. The number of multi-objective functions in this study is 4 and a single Pareto-optimal solution, which is 2nd order efficiency and 3 degrees preference ordering, is chosen as the most preferred optimal solution. The comparison results among those from Powell method and SGA (simple genetic algorithm), which are single-objective function optimization, and NSGA-II, multi-objective optimization, show that the result from NSGA-II could be reasonalby accepted since the performance of NSGA-II is not deteriorated even though it is applied to the verification period which is totally different from the calibration period for parameter estimation.

동적 공급사슬망은 복잡하고 다양한 이해관계를 가진 기업들로 구성되어 있다. 다수의 구매자로부터 주문 의뢰가 동시다발적으로 발생하므로 하위 구성원들은 경쟁적 관계에 놓이게 된다. 그러므로 최적의 공급사슬구성을 위해서는 수평적 경쟁 관계를 고려하여 구성주체들간의 협력관계를 통해 이를 해결하여야 한다. 지금까지의 스케줄링 문제에서는 상위의 구성원이 하위 구성원들을 일방적으로 선택하는 의사결정이 이루어졌으나 본 문제에서는 구성원간의 협력관계에서 에이전트를 통한 다자간 협상을 통해 공급사슬 전체의 최적화를 구성하는 방법론을 제시한다. 본 협상방법론은 단일기계에서 상이한 납기일, 조기생산(earliness), 지연생산(tardiness)을 동시에 고려하였으며 전체 공급사슬의 평균절대편차(Mean Absolute Deviation)의 최소화를 목적으로 하고 있다. 본 협상방법론의 효과성을 증명하기 위해 분지한계법(Branch & Bound)과 비교하고, 알고리즘 구현을 통해 구매자 협상방법론의 최적화 여부를 실험을 통해 증명하였다.

As the interactive AI speaker becomes popular, voice recognition is regarded as an important vehicle-driver interaction method in case of autonomous driving situation. The purpose of this study is to confirm whether multimodal interaction in which feedback is transmitted by auditory and visual mode of AI characters on screen is more effective in user experience optimization than auditory mode only. We performed the interaction tasks for the music selection and adjustment through the AI speaker while driving to the experiment participant and measured the information and system quality, presence, the perceived usefulness and ease of use, and the continuance intention. As a result of analysis, the multimodal effect of visual characters was not shown in most user experience factors, and the effect was not shown in the intention of continuous use. Rather, it was found that auditory single mode was more effective than multimodal in information quality factor. In the semi-autonomous driving stage, which requires driver 's cognitive effort, multimodal interaction is not effective in optimizing user experience as compared to single mode interaction.

이론적으로 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNT)는 무산란 전도가 가능하여 실리콘을 대체할 차세대 나노소자의 기본소재로서 많은 각광을 받아왔다. 이러한 SWNT의 전기전자적 특성을 좌우하는 주요인자로는 직경과 비틀림도(chirality)가 있으며, 이를 제어하기 위한 많은 방법들이 제시되어왔다. 특히, SWNT 합성 시 필요한 촉매 나노입자의 크기와 튜브직경과의 연관성이 제기된 후부터, 합성단계에서 촉매 나노입자의 형태(또는 크기)를 제어함으로써 SWNT의 직경을 제어하고자 하는 직접적인 방법들도 주요방법의 한 축으로 이어지고 있다. 한편, SWNT의 합성촉매로는 철, 코발트, 니켈 등의 전이금속이 주로 사용되어 왔으나, 최근에는 금, 은, 루테늄, 팔라듐, 백금 등의 귀금속에서부터 다양한 금속산화물 나노입자에 이르기까지 그 범위가 확장되었다. 본 연구에서는, 촉매 나노입자의 크기제어를 통하여 SWNT의 직경을 제어할 목적으로, 전이금속에 비해 상대적으로 융점이 낮아 비교적 낮은 온도의 열처리를 통해서도 입자의 크기를 제어할 수 있는 금 나노입자를 선정하여 SWNT의 합성거동을 살펴보았다. 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 하는 CVD방법을 이용하였고, 합성되는 SWNT의 다발화(bundling) 등을 방지하기 위하여 수평배향 성장을 도모하였으며, 이를 위하여 퀄츠 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 우선, 콜로이드상인 금 나노입자의 스핀코팅 조건을 최적화하여 퀄츠 위에 단분산(monodispersion) 된 금 나노입자를 얻었으며, 열처리 온도 및 시간의 제어를 통하여, 1~5 nm 범위 내에서 특정 직경을 갖는 금 나노입자를 얻는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 합성 후 금 나노입자의 크기와 합성된 SWNT 직경과의 관계를 면밀히 조사한 결과, 튜브보다 나노입자의 크기가 약간 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 금 나노입자의 크기에 따라 SWNT의 합성효율이 크게 좌우되는 것을 확인하였다.
