In this paper, we deal an implementation of the software that produces sub-optimal solution of cutting-ironbar planning problem using dynamic programming. Generally, it is required to design an optimization algorithm to accept the practical requirements of cutting ironbar manufacturing. But, this problem is a multiple-sized 1-dimensional cutting stock problem and Linear Programming approaches to get the optimal solution is difficult to be applied due to the problem of explosive computation and memory limitation. In order to overcome this problem, we reform the problem for applying Dynamic Programming and propose a cutting-ironbar planning algorithm searching the sub-optimal solution in the space of fixed amount of combinated columns by using heuristics. Then, we design a graphic user interfaces and screen displays to be operated conveniently in the industry workplace and implement the software using open-source GUI library toolkit, GTK+.

수문 모델링을 이용하여 미계측 유역의 유출을 예측하고 나아가 수문 현상을 이해하기 위해서는 기존과는 다른 새로운 모형 보정 전략과 평가 방법이 필요하다. 위성 관측자료의 가용성 증가는 미계측 유역에서 수문 모형의 예측 성능을 확보할 기회를 제공한다. 유역 내 증발산 과정은 물 순환 과정을 설명하는 주요한 부분 중 하나이다. 또한 식생에 대한 정보는 증발산 과정과 밀접한 연관을 가지기 때문에 간접적으로 유역의 증발산 과정을 이해할 수 있는 중요한 정보이다. 본 연구는 미계측 유역의 하천유량을 예측하기 위해 위성 관측 기반의 식생 정보만을 이용하여 보정된 생태 수문 모형의 잠재력을 조사한다. 이러한 보정 방법은 관측된 하천유량 자료가 있어야 하지 않기에 미계측 유역의 하천유량 예측에 특히 유용할 것이다. 모델링 실험은 관측 하천유량 자료가 존재하는 5개의 댐 유역(남강댐, 안동댐, 합천댐, 임하댐)에 대해 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 식생동역학이 결합 된 집체형 수문 모델을 이용하였으며, MODIS 잎면적지수(Leaf Area Index, LAI) 자료를 이용하여 모형을 보정하였다. 보정된 모형으로부터 생산된 일 유량 결과는 관측 유량 자료와 비교된다. 또한, 전통적인 관측 유량 기반의 모형 보정 방법과 비교된다. 그 결과 LAI 시계열을 이용한 모형의 보정으로 획득한 유량의 적합도는 남강댐, 안동댐, 합천댐 유역에서 KGE가 임계치 이상으로 나타나 만족스러운 결과를 보여주지만, 임하댐 유역은 KGE가 임계치 이하로 계산되었다. 그러나 해당 유역에 대해 관측 유량을 기반으로 모형 보정 결과 또한 좋지 않은 적합도를 보여주기에 이는 LAI 자료 기반 접근법의 문제가 아닌 입력정보 또는 모형 자체에 포함된 오차로 인해 해당 유역의 특성을 반영하기에 어려운 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과는 증발산 과정에 주요한 식생 정보의 제약만으로도 비교적 만족스럽게 유역의 수문 순환을 재현할 수 있다는 가능성을 보여준다.

An accurate prediction of the hydrodynamic maneuvering darivatives is essential to desing a robust control system of a UUV(unmanned underwater vehicle). Typically, these derivatives were estimated by either the towing tank experiment or semi-empirical methods. With the enhancement of high performance computing capacity, a numerical analysis using computational fluid dynamics has reach the level of experiment. Therefore, the aims of the present research are to numerically develop a computational model for the vertical planar motion mechanism of a UUV and to estimate the hydrodynamics loads in 6-DOF. The target structure of the present study was manta type UUV (12meter length). The numerical model was developed in 1/ 6 model scale. Numerical results were compared with the results of the towing tank experiment for validation. In the present study, a commercial RANS-based viscous solver STARCCM+ (ver 17.06) was used.

Statement of problem: Delamination of veneering porcelain from underlying ceramic substructures has been reported for zirconia-ceramic restorations. Colored zirconia cores for esthetics have been reported that their bond strength with veneered porcelain is weaker compared to white zirconia cores. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength by manufacturing the veneering porcelain on the colored zirconia core, using the layering technique and heat-pressing technique, and to evaluate the clinical stability by comparing the result of this with that of conventional metal ceramic system. Material and methods: A Metal ceramic (MC) system was tested as a control group. The tested systems were Katana zirconia with CZR (ZB) and Katana Zirconia with NobelRondo Press (ZP). Thirty specimens, 10 for each system and control, were fabricated. Specimen disks, 3 mm high and 12 mm diameter, were fabricated with the lost-wax technique (MC) and the CAD-CAM (ZB and ZP). MC and ZB specimens were prepared using opaque and dentin veneering ceramics, veneered, 3 mm high and 2.8 mm in diameter, over the cores. ZP specimens were prepared using heat pressing ingots, 3 mm high and 2.8mm in diameter. The shear bond strength test was performed in a Shear bond test machine. Load was applied at a cross-head speed of 0.50 mm/min until failure. Mean shear bond strengths (MPa) were analyzed with the One-way ANOVA. After the shear bond test, fracture surfaces were examined by SEM. Results: The mean shear bond strengths (SD) in MPa were MC control 29.14 (2.26); ZB 29.48 (2.30); and ZP 29.51 (2.32). The shear bond strengths of the tested systems were not significantly different (P > .05). All groups presented cohesive and adhesive failures, and showed predominance of cohesive failures in ceramic veneers. Conclusion: 1. The shear bond strengths of the tested groups were not significantly different from the control group (P >.05). 2. There was no significant different between the layering technique and the heat pressing technique in the veneering methods on the colored zirconia core. 3. All groups presented cohesive and adhesive failures, and showed predominance of cohesive failures in ceramic veneers.

The element free Galerkin method is extended by the local partition of unity method to model the cohesive cracks in two dimensional continuum. The shape function of a particle whose domain of influence is completely cut by a crack is enriched by the step enrichment function. If the domain of influence contains a crack tip inside, it is enriched by a branch enrichment function which does not have the LEFM stress singularity. The discrete equations are obtained directly from the standard Galerkin method since the enrichment is only for the displacement field, which satisfies the local partition of unity. Because only particles whose domains of influence are influenced by a crack are enriched, the system matrix is still sparse so that the increase of the computational cost is minimized. The condition for crack growth in dynamic problems is obtained from the material instability; when the acoustic tensor loses the positive definiteness, a cohesive crack is inserted to the point so as to change the continuum to a discontiuum. The crack speed is naturally obtained from the criterion. It is found that this method is more accurate and converges faster than the classical meshless methods which are based on the visibility concept. In this paper, several well-known static and dynamic problems were solved to verify the method.

Light Naphtha is distillated from crude oil unit and separated into the methane, ethylene and propylene by boiling point difference in sequence. This separation is conducted using a series of binary-like columns. This separation method is known that the energy consumed in the reboiler is used to separate the heaviest components and most of this energy is discarded as vapor condensation in the overhead cooler. In this study, the first two columns of the separation process are replaced with the Petlyuk column. A structural design was exercised by the stage computation with ideal tray efficiency in equilibrium condition. Compared with the performance of a conventional system of 3-column model, The design outcome shows that the procedure is simple and efficient because the composition of the liquid component in the column tray was designed to be similar to the equilibrium distillation curve. The performance of the new process indicates that an energy saving of 12.1% is obtained and the cost savings of 44 million won per day based on gross domestic product is reduced under same total number of trays and the initial investment cost is saved.

For visual inspection system in real industrial environment, it is one of most important tasks to design fast and stable pattern matching algorithm. This paper presents an edge-based point correlation algorithm avoiding full search in visual inspection system. Conventional algorithms based on NGC(normalized gray-level correlation) have to overcome some difficulties for applying to automated inspection system in factory environment. First of all, NGC algorithms need high time complexity and thus high performance hardware to satisfy real-time process. In addition, lighting condition in realistic factory environments if not stable and therefore intensity variation from uncontrolled lights gives many roubles for applying directly NGC as pattern matching algorithm in this paper, we propose an algorithm to solve these problems from using thinned and binarized edge data and skipping full point search with edge-map analysis. A point correlation algorithm with the thinned edges is introduced with image pyramid technique to reduce the time complexity. Matching edges instead of using original gray-level pixel data overcomes NGC problems and pyramid of edges also provides fast and stable processing. All proposed methods are preyed from experiments using real images.

Bandwidth extension is a technique to improve speech quality, intelligibility and naturalness, extending from the 300 ~ 3,400 Hz narrowband speech to the 50 ~ 7,000 Hz wideband speech. In this paper, an Artificial Bandwidth Extension (ABE) module embedded in the Opus audio decoder is designed using the information of narrowband speech to reduce the computational complexity of LPC (Linear Prediction Coding) and LSF (Line Spectral Frequencies) analysis and the algorithm delay of the ABE module. We proposed a spectral envelope extension method using DBN (Deep Belief Network), one of deep learning techniques, and the proposed scheme produces better extended spectrum than the traditional codebook mapping method.

Hemp is known as one of the most productive and useful plants, which grows quickly in a moderate climate with only moderate water and fertilizer. Traditionally in Korea, hemp bast is used to natural fibres, and remaining such as stem and root is treated as waste. Those of hemp by-products can be transformed to bio fuel such as bio-oil and activated carbon. To understand pyrolysis characteristics, thermogravimetric analysis were carried out in TGA, in which hemp by-products were mostly decomposed at the temperature range of $270{\sim}370^{\circ}C$. The corresponding kinetic parameters including activation energy and pre-exponential factor were determined by differential method over the degree of conversions. The values of activation energies for pyrolysis were increased as the conversion increased from 10 to 90%.

Microseismic monitoring technologies have been recognized for its superiority over traditional methods and are used in domestic and overseas underground mines. However, the complex gangway layout of underground mines in Korea and the mixed structure of excavated space and rock masses make it difficult to estimate the microseismic propagation and to determine the arrival time of microseismic wave. In this paper, experimental studies were carried out to determine the source location according to various arrival picking methods and dimensional conditions. The arrival picking methods used were FTC (First Threshold Cross), Picking window, AIC (Akaike Information Criterion), and 2-D and 3-D source generation experiments were performed, respectively, under the 2-D sensor array. In each experiment, source location algorithm used iterative method and genetic algorithm. The iterative method was effective when the sensor array and source generation were the same dimension, but it was not suitable to apply when the source generation was higher dimension. On the other hand, in case of source location using RCGA, the higher dimensional source location could be determined, but it took longer time to calculate. The accuracy of the arrival picking methods differed according to the source location algorithms, but picking window method showed high accuracy in overall.
