There is currently no recognized standard for the size of lifts. Each elevator manufacturer sets the maximum allowable floor area that meets the capacity calculation standard of the elevator using the maximum used car floor area, which is defined by EN-CODE and the domestic inspection standard, and determines the elevator size based on their own standards. In this paper, we propose a method to more easily determine the elevator size. To do this, we implemented a program that calculates the size of the elevator by inputting the dimensions of the hoistway. This program will be useful method for quick decision making and elevator installation considering the elevator factors according to the already determined hoistway size of the building and calculating the EN-CODE currently used and the size of the elevator according to domestic inspection standards.

Recent systems contain hardware and software components together for faster execution speed and less power consumption. In conventional hardware and software co-design, the ratio of software and hardware was divided by the designer's empirical knowledge. To find optimal results, designers iteratively reconfigure accelerators and applications and simulate it. Simulating iteratively while making design change is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a hardware and software co-design platform for energy-efficient FPGA accelerator design. The proposed platform makes it easy for designers to find an appropriate hardware ratio by automatically generating application program code and hardware code by parameterizing the components of the accelerator. The co-design platform based on the Vitis unified software platform runs on a server with Xilinx Alveo U200 FPGA card. As a result of optimizing the multiplication accelerator for two matrices with 1000 rows, execution time was reduced by 90.7% and power consumption was reduced by 56.3%.

Composite vessels for high pressure gas storage are commonly used these days because of their competitive weight reduction ability maintaining strong mechanical properties. To supplement permeability of composite under high pressure, it is usually lined by metal, which is called a Type 3 vessel. However, it has many difficulties to design the Type 3 vessel because of its complex geometry, fabrication process variables, etc. In this study, therefore, GUI (graphic user interface) optimal design code for Type 3 vessels was developed based on semi-geodesic algorithm in which various factors of geometry and fabrication variables are considered and genetic algorithm for optimization. In addition, hydrogen vessels for 350/700 bar that can be applied to FCVs(fuel cell vehicles) were designed using this code for verification.

임진강 수계는 북측 지역이 다수를 차지하는 유역 특성으로 예고 없는 상류 급방류, 강우 등으로 인해 댐 운영에 근본적 어려움이 있으며, 이에 따라 홍수조절지 및 댐 하류 계측 가능 지역의 취득 자료를 고려한 하천 수위 변화에 대한 사전 예측을 필요로 하고 있다. 홍수기 하천 도달시간 및 수위예측 기법으로는 물리 기반 및 데이터 기반 모델들이 다양하게 연구되어 왔으며, 일부 연구성과들은 현업에 활용하고 있다. 물리기반 모델은 하천 지형 변화에 대한 자료 취득 및 분석에 많은 시간을 요하는 단점은 있으나, 설명 가능한 모델을 구현할 수 있을 것으로 사료 된다. 반면, 데이터 기반 인공지능 모델은 짧은 시간 및 비용으로 모델을 개발할 수 있으나, 복잡한 알고리즘구현 시 설명이 불가하여 일관성을 의심 받을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 홍수 도달시간과 하류 수위 상승에 대하여 설명 가능한 인공지능 알고리즘 및 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 홍수 도달시간 예측은 기존 조견표 방식에서 고려하지 않았던 홍수파의 영향을 추가 변수화 하고, 데이터의 전후처리를 통하여 도달시간을 예측하였다. 실시간 하류 수위 예측은 댐 방류량, 주변 강우, 조위 등을 고려하여 도달시간 후 수위를 예측할 수 있도록 구현하였으며, 자료 동화 기술을 일부 적용하였다. 미래 방류조건에 대한 시뮬레이션을 위해서는 미래 방류량, 예상 강우 입력 시 하천 지점별 수위 상승을 예측할 수 있도록 알고리즘 및 프로그램을 개발하였다. 이를 구현하기 위하여 다양한 인공지능 알고리즘을 이용한 학습, 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 가중치 학습 제한 조건내 최적화, 수위파와 조위파의 중첩의 정리 등을 이용하여 예측 정확도 및 신뢰성을 제고 하였다. 인공지능 분석결과의 현업활용성 제고를 위하여 시뮬레이터 프로그램을 개발하여 현업에 적용하였다.

In this study, direct algorithm-based back analysis was utilized to perform back analysis on two actual earth retaining wall fields, which was then compared with genetic algorithm-based method to evaluate the suitability of the back analysis. Additionally, in order to propose effective utilization methods of the program, the measurement data, as the input for the back analysis, was varied for each excavation step, and the applicability of the back analysis results(displacement, axial force) was examined. The research findings indicate that both direct algorithm and genetic algorithm show high applicability; however, the optimization for this program is better predicted by the direct algorithm. Moreover, in order to effectively use the back analysis program employing the direct algorithm, it was evaluated that relatively accurate prediction of the earth retaining wall behavior could be achieved by inputting measurement data from the 7th excavation step for fields with final excavation steps ranging from 8 to 11.

Effects of curing treatments and storage temperature on the quality of Chinese yams (Dioscorea polystachya Turcz.) were investigated stepwise in three consecutive years for the optimization of postharvest handling procedures. Tuberous roots were harvested in early to mid November and cured under ambient or $29^{\circ}C$ heated air conditions for various periods according to the treatment conditions. Storage temperatures in the range of 0.5 to $7.5^{\circ}C$ were phased in to avoid chilling injury while examining storage potential from 4 to 7 months. As poststorage technology, short-term $60^{\circ}C$ hot-air exposure or low shelf temperature treatments were additively imposed. Curing treatments, especially heated air curing for 3-5 days tended to reduce the respiration and weight loss during storage while maintaining flesh firmness. Storage at $0.5^{\circ}C$ brought out typical chilling injury symptoms on the shelf with increases in respiration and lower flesh firmness by tissue breakdown resulting in the rapid loss of marketability. Optimum storage temperature appeared to be the $3-4^{\circ}C$ range which suppresses quality deterioration while avoiding chilling injury. Low shelf temperature seemed to be a necessary part of postharvest handling system to keep marketability through control of poststorage disorders such as rooting and decay. Overall results suggested that optimized postharvest program consisting of heated-air curing, storage at $3-4^{\circ}C$, and low shelf temperature could extend storage potential of Chinese yam to longer than 7 months.

In order to ensure the stability of tunnel portal slope, reinforcement method such as anchors, soil nails and rock bolts have been used in Korea. When selecting slope reinforcement methods in tunnel portal area such as reinforcement arrangement and length, trial and error method can be very time-consuming and it was also not easy to verify the selection of an optimum condition. In this study, using the FISH language embedded in the finite difference code FLAC3D program, the optimization technique was developed with the Differential Evolution Algorithm (DEA). After building a database on the soil nailing method in tunnel portal area, this system can be selected to an optimum arrangement plan based on the factor of safety through the FLAC3D analysis. Through the results of numerical analysis, it was confirmed that the number of analysis was decreased by about 8 times when DEA based optimization technique was used compared to the full combination (FC). In case of the design of slope reinforcement in tunnel portal area, if this built-system is used, it is expected that the selection of an optimum arrangement plan can be relatively easier.

Process analysis with ASM3 (Activated Sludge Model3) was performed to offer basic data for the optimization of aerated biofilter (ABF) process design and operation. This study was focused on the simulation of the nitrification reaction in ABF which was a part of the advanced nutrient treatment process using bio-adsorption. The ABF process has been developed for the removal of suspended solids and nitrification reaction in sewage. A GPS-X (General Purpose Simualtor-X) was used for the sensitivity analysis and operation assessment. Sensitivity of ASM3 parameters on ABF was analysed and 4 major parameters ($Y_A$, $k_{sto}$, ${\mu}_A$, $K_{A,HN}$) were determined by dynamic simulation using 70 days data from pilot plant operation. The optimized values were 0.14 for $Y_A$, 3.5/d for $k_{sto}$, 2.7/d for ${\mu}_A$ and 1.1 mg/L for $K_{A,HN}$, respectively. Simulation with optimized parameter values were conducted and TN, $NH_4{^+}-N$ and $NO_3{^-}-N$ concentrations were estimated and compared with measured data at the range of 10 min to 4 hrs of hydraulic retention time (HRT). The simulated results showed that optimized parameter values could represent the characteristics of ABF process. Especially, the ABF showed relatively high nitrification rate (60%) under very short HRT of 10 min. As a consequence, the ABF was thought to be successfully used in the site which having high variation of influent loading rate.

이제 멀티코어 CPU가 보편화 되었지만 대다수의 프로그래밍 언어가 단일 코어를 대상으로 발전되었기 때문에 병렬화에 어려움이 있다. 이를 해결하고자 병렬처리 기법들이 연구되고 있지만 오히려 개발자는 여러 기법들 사이에서 혼란스러울 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 개발자들이 처한 상황에서 적절한 기법을 선택하는데 도움이 되고자 주요 병렬처리 기법인 OpenMP, Threading Building Blocks, Cilk Plus, Parallel Patterns Library를 비교 및 평가하였다. 각 기법마다 지원 기능, 지원 방식, 스케줄링 기법 등 개발자가 프로그램을 개발함에 있어 고려해야 할 특징들이 서로 다르고 각기 장단점이 존재한다. 따라서 병렬처리 기법을 선택하고 구현함에 있어 특정한 하나의 기법에 의존하는 것보다는 여러 기법들의 특성을 파악하여 상황에 맞는 기법을 선택한다면 보다 효율적이면서도 쉽게 병렬처리를 구현할 수 있다.
