We present two data-driven modeling methods, partial least square (PLS) and artificial neural network (ANN), to predict the major operating and performance variables of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack. PLS and ANN models were constructed using the experimental data obtained from the testing of a 30 kW-class PEM fuel cell stack, and then were compared with each other in terms of their prediction and computational performances. To reduce the complexity of the models, we combined a variables importance on PLS projection (VIP) as a variable selection method into the modeling procedure in which the predictor variables are selected from a set of input operation variables. The modeling results showed that the ANN models outperformed the PLS models in predicting the average cell voltage and cathode outlet temperature of the fuel cell stack. However, the PLS models also offered satisfactory prediction performances although they can only capture linear correlations between the predictor and output variables. Depending on the degree of modeling accuracy and speed, both ANN and PLS models can be employed for performance predictions, offline and online optimizations, controls, and fault diagnoses in the field of PEM fuel cell designs and operations.

This study was conducted to develop a non-destructive detection method for adulterated powder products using Raman spectroscopy and partial least squares regression(PLSR). Garlic and ginger powder, which are used as natural seasoning and in health supplement foods, were selected for this experiment. Samples were adulterated with corn starch in concentrations of 5-35%. PLSR models for adulterated garlic and ginger powders were developed and their performances evaluated using cross validation. The $R^2_c$ and SEC of an optimal PLSR model were 0.99 and 2.16 for the garlic powder samples, and 0.99 and 0.84 for the ginger samples, respectively. The variable importance in projection (VIP) score is a useful and simple tool for the evaluation of the importance of each variable in a PLSR model. After the VIP scores were taken pre-selection, the Raman spectrum data was reduced by one third. New PLSR models, based on a reduced number of wavelengths selected by the VIP scores technique, gave good predictions for the adulterated garlic and ginger powder samples.

With the rapid development of aesthetic ceramic materials and resin adhesives, the transition from metal ceramic crown to all-ceramic restoration is being actively carried out. When making porcelain restorations, the advantages can be maximized only when appropriate forms and techniques are used. Recently, an esthetic partial-coverage restoration method with supra-gingival margins was introduced by applying a minimally invasive tooth removal method that preserves enamel as much as possible and enhances adhesion efficiency. Through this, various advantages such as minimization of tooth structure removal and ease of excess cement removal can be obtained. In addition, since this manufacturing method does not require cord packing, it is possible to save time for impression taking and reduce patient discomfort. Furthermore, the margins can be clearly obtained without the intervention of gingival fluid or blood, making it possible to manufacture more accurate restorations. In the following cases of patients with partial tooth defects, esthetic ceramic partial-coverage restorations with supra-gingival margin was applied using minimally invasive tooth preparation method according to the concept of adhesive dentistry. Therefore, unnecessary tooth abutment preparation was prevented and residual tooth structure could be preserved as much as possible. After delivery of the ceramic partial-coverage restorations, favorable outcome was obtained.

In this paper, a novel moving least squares interface welding method is proposed to carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of independently modeled finite element substructures with nodal mismatching interfaces. To verify the validity, and efficiency of the proposed interface welding method, various numerical examples are worked out including patch tests, convergence tests, and examples of coupled analyses of the structural systems with mismatching substructures. From the numerical tests, it is confirmed that one can efficiently carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of mismatching finite element substructures through the proposed method without any remeshing or any additional unknown.

콘태이너 선박은 출발항과 종착항의 두항구 사이를 잇는 지정된 항로를 오가면서 항로의 중도에 있는 각 항구에 기항하여 화물을 상.하역하는 형태로 각 항구 사이의 화물운송을 수행한다. 이때 이윤을 최대화 하기 위해서 선박을 어느 항구에 기항하고, 또 기항하는 항구에서는 얼마만큼의 화물을 항.하역할 것인지를 적절하게 결정해야 한다. 이러한 콘테이너 선박 운항경로 문제를 모형화 하고, 0-1 혼합정수 계획법을 이용한 수리모형을 제시한 후, 최소비용 흐름문제와 분지한계 기법을 이용한 최적해법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서는 제시한 해법에서는 먼저, 기항하기로 한 항구의 집합에 따라 부분문제를 정의한다. 또한 분해된 부분문제에서 추가로 기항할 항구들에 대한 운항구간의 적제 한계와 운항비용을 완화시킨 문제를 정의하고, 그것을 다시 최소비용흐름문제를 이용하여 풀어서 상한값ㄹ 구한다. 이와 같은 방법으로 각 부분문제의 하한값과 하한값을 계신히여, 그것을 이용하여 분지를 절단하고, 또한 상한값이 높은 부분문제를 우선적으로 선택하여 분지합으로써 최적해를 구한다.

In this paper, minimal balanced $2^t$ fractional factorial designs which permit the estimation of main effects and 2-factor interactions are developed by using a partially balanced array. Such designs are characterized by a minimum number of runs and some balancedness property of the variance-covariance matrix of the estimates. In addition to describing the designs, optimality criteria are discussed and the trace-optimal designs are presented. The proposed designs are especially useful in Taguchi method, where we need to investigate up to 2-factor interactions of the control factors.

2004년부터 4대강 물환경연구소는 수질오염총량관리제의 원활한 추진을 위해 총량관리단위유역 말단부에서 8일 간격으로 청천(晴天)시를 중심으로 유량과 수질을 동시에 측정하기 시작하였다. 그 결과 연중 하천유량과 수질의 연동 여부 및 변동 추이를 확인하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 그러나 8일 간격으로 생산되는 유량은 지침의 정의와 맞물려 기준유량의 산정에 또 다른 어려움을 주고 있다. '한강수계 오염총량관리계획수립 지침'에 따르면 '기준유량은 과거 10년간 평균 저수량으로 한다'고 명시되어 있다. 여기서 저수량이란 유량의 크기를 누가일수로서 표시하여 1년을 통하여 275일은 이보다 더 작지 않은 유량으로 정의된다. 따라서 정확한 저수량을 산정하기 위해서는 1년 365개 매일의 유량자료가 필요하다. 하지만 8일 간격으로 유량을 측정하게 되면 1년 365개 대신 최대 45 여개의 일 유량자료만 취득 가능하므로 유황분석에 어려움이 발생할 수밖에 없다. 본 연구에서는 수질오염총량관리단위유역의 말단부에서 8일 간격으로 계측된 유량자료가 있을 때 이를 연속적인 일유량으로 확대할 수 있는 방법론 중 하나를 소개한다. 미 지질조사국(USGS)에서 주로 사용되는 이 방법은 A지점(부분계측이 이루어지는 지점)의 결측치를 동일 유역 혹은 수문학적으로 유사한 유역의 B지점(연속계측이 이루어지는 지점)의 자료를 이용하여 보완하는 방식이다. 이를 위해 먼저 부분계측이 이루어진 날과 같은 날짜의 유량자료를 연속계측자료에서 추출한 다음 두 자료(A지점에서의 모든 유량과 B지점에서의 추출된 유량)의 상관성을 비교해 본다. 두 자료간에 상관도가 높다면 이를 잘 표현하는 방정식을 통해 A지점의 결측치를 내 외삽한다. 여기서 두 자료간 상관도를 잘 묘사할 수 있는 방법으로 본 연구에서는 최소제곱법(Least Square Estimator, LSE)과 분산확장법(Maintenance of Variance Extension, MOVE)을 비교,분석해 보았다. 한강수계 수질오염총량관리단위유역 중 동일지점에 8일 간격 부분계측 유량자료와 일 연속자료가 동시에 존재하는 곳이 6지점이 있었으며 이 자료들을 바탕으로 LSE와 MOVE의 정확도를 검증해 본 결과 MOVE가 일 연속유량 확장에 더 나은 결과를 보였다.

Balanced arrays which are generalized orthogonal arrays, introduced by Chakravarti (1956) can be used to construct the fractional factorial designs. Especially for 2-level factorials, balanced arrays with strength 4 are identical to the resolution-V fractional designs. In this paper criteria for evaluation the degree of the orthogonality of balanced arrays of 2-levels with strength 4 are developed and some application methods of the suggested criteria are discussed. As a result, in this paper, we introduce the constructing methods of near orthogonal saturated balanced resolution-V fractional 2-level factorial designs.

The fuzzy linear programming(FLP) is the useful approach to many real world problems under uncertainty. This paper deals with a FLP whose objective value is fuzzy. And the right hand sides of convergent equality constraints are fuzzy numbers. We assume that the membership function of the objective value is piecewise linear and those of the right hand side are trapezoidal. Each of these trapezoidal functions can be algebraically replaced with three linear functions. Then the FLP problem is transformed into the Zimmermann's symmetric model. The fuzzy solution based on the max-min rule can be obtained by solving the crisp linear programming problem derived from the symmetric model. A numerical example has illustrated our approach. The application of our approach to the inconsistent linear system can enable generate us to get define the useful and flexible inexact solutions within acceptable tolerance. Further research is required to generalize the membership function.
