In this study, the design simulation for optimal wire batch around service line was made to improve the dielectric strength at the primary winding using Finite Element Method. The automatic convergence algorithm for finding of limit object value using loop circulation method was developed to make the optimal design simulator. The modulation method was suggested to make division time faster which was very important for full simulation efficiency. As a result, the simulation time was reduced and the optimal wire batch design was obtained.

The objective of this study is to improve cephalosporin C (CPC) production byoptimization of medium and culture conditions. A statistical method was introduced to optimize the main culture medium. The main medium for CPC production was optimized using a statistical method. Glucose and corn steep liquor (CSL) were found to be the most effective factors for CPC production. Glucose and CSL were optimized to 2.84 and $6.68\%$, respectively. CPC produc­tion was improved $50\%$ by feeding of $5\%$ rice oil at day 3rd and 5th day during the shake flask culture of C acremonium M25. The effect of agitation speeds on CPC production in a 2.5-L bio­reactor was also investigated with fed-batch mode. The maximum cell mass (54.5 g/L) was obtained at 600 rpm. However, the maximum CPC production (0.98 g/L) was obtained at 500 rpm. At this condition, the maximum CPC production was improved about $132\%$ compared to the re­sult with batch flask culture.

problem of pedestrian localization using mobile nodes containing impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) is considered. IEEE 802.15.4a-based IR-UWB can achieve accurate ranging. However, the coverage is as short as 30 m, owing to the restricted transmit power. This factor may cause a poor geometric relationship among the mobile nodes and anchor nodes in certain environments. To localize a group of pedestrians accurately, an enhanced cooperative localization method is proposed. We describe a sequential algorithm and define problems that may occur in the implementation of the algorithm. To solve these problems, a batch algorithm is proposed. The batch algorithm can be carried out after performing the sequential algorithm to linearize the nonlinear range equation. When a sequential algorithm cannot be performed due to a poor geometric relationship among nodes, a batch algorithm can be carried out directly. Herein, Monte Carlo simulations are presented to illustrate the proposed method and verify its performance.

In this paper, we propose an approximation of the M/G/1 system with finite workload capacity, where customers whose admission to the system would increase the workload beyond a prespecified finite capacity limit are not accepted. Our approximation method is based on the idea that the service time of a customer in the M/G/1 system can be approximated as the sum of service times of a batch of customers in the $M^{X}/d/1$ system where the service time is deterministic and very small. That is, the original service time is discretized and approximated by the batch size. We exemplified our method by obtaining the average workload of the M/M/1 system by means of the $M^{X}/d/1$ system, where the batch size is geometric. In addition, the approximate blocking probabilities of the M/M/1 and $M/E_{k}/1$ system with finite workload capacities are sought. The proposed method turns out to give a good approximation, which is compared with a simulation.

As aeration is an energy-intensive process, its control has become more important to save energy and to meet strict effluent limits. In this study, predictive aeration control based on the respirometric method has been applied to the sequencing batch reactor (SBR) process. The variation of the respiration rate by nitrification was great and obvious, so it could be a very useful parameter for the predictive aeration control. The maximum respiration rate due to nitrification was about 60 mg O₂/L·h and the maximum specific nitrification rate was about 7.5 mg N/g MLVSS·h. The aeration time of the following cycle of the SBR was daily adjusted in proportion to that which was previously determined based on the sudden decrease of respiration rate at the end of nitrification in the respirometer. The aeration time required for nitrification could be effectively predicted and it was closely related to influent nitrogen loadings. By the predictive aeration control the aerobic period of the SBR has been optimized, and energy saving and enhanced nitrogen removal could be obtained.

We propose an approximation of the M/G/1 system with finite workload capacity, where those customers whose admission to the system would increase the workload beyond a prespecified finite capacity limit are not accepted. Our approximation method is based on the idea that the service time of a customer in the M/G/1 system can be approximated as the sum of service times of a batch of customers in the $M^X/d/1$ system where the deterministic service time d is small enough. That is, the original service time is discretized and approximated by the batch size. We exemplified our method by obtaining the average workload of the M/M/1 system by means of the $M^X/d/1$ system, where the batch size is geometric. In addition, the approximate blocking probabilities of the M/M/1 and $M/E_k/1$ system with finite workload capacities are sought. The proposed method turns out to give a good approximation, which is compared with a simulation.

Modispersed silica fine particles were produced from the hydrolysis of $Si(OC_2H_5)_4$ by using batch-semibatch mixed systems. Four types of mixed process, i.e., batch-batch, batch-semibatch, semibatch-batch, semibatch-semibatch, were used in order to measure mean particle size, particle size distribution, yield, and packing density. As a result of the test, silica particles prepared by semibatch-semibatch process were larger than those prodeced from any other systems in particle size and yield. On the other hand, silica particles prepared by batch-semibatch process were better than those produced from any other systems in particle size distribution and packing density. Especially, it was found that particle size of $SiO_2$ prepared by semibatch-batch process decreased with increasing the reaction time. Therefore, batch-semibatch process was a successful method for controlling the size, i.e., a narrow distribution of a particle size which ranges to several microns.

In many applications of simulation-optimization, when comparing two or more alternatives, it is crucial to be able to estimate the confidence intervals on the outputs of interest with a reasonable level of accuracy. This acuracy has often been tested by the closeness of the coverage of the estimated confidence interval to the intended coverage. In this paper two variations to the Batch-Means Method of estimating the confidence intervals are presented and their performance are compared with the original method. The results indicate that the Batch Means Method modified by factors obtained by a second order autoregressive method is superior to the original and the one modified based on factors obtained from autocorrelation analysis.

The multilevel grid file(MLGF) is a dynamic multidimensional file organization supporting multi-attribute accesses efficiently. The paper proposes new method for batch-constructing MLGFs. Our method consists of two phases. The first phase begins by relocating all the objects in order that logically adjacent objects in multidimensional domain space are clustered in one dimensional physical space. For this, our method employs the Z-ordering scheme, which effectively maps multidimensional space into one dimensional space preserving proximity. The second phase paginates the relocated objects and creates leaf level directory entries, each of which corresponds to a object page. Simultaneously, it performs same actions on the directory entries recursively in a bottom-up fashion until the root directory fits in a page. For performance evaluation, we analyze our method in terms of the number of page accesses. The result shows the optimality of our method.

Potential fire, explosion and safety hazards exist in medium- or small-scale chemical plants using radical batch reaction processes due to the various conditions of materials, works or products. To minimize the potential damage, a study was conducted on qualitative hazard analysis using the HAZOP technique, which is a typical method for a qualitative risk assessment and analysis of the potential risks encountered in these chemical plants. For this purpose, a domestic chemical plant, which produces the acrylic resin by a radical batch reaction process, was selected and a risk assessment and analysis according to the procedure of HAZOP method was performed for the process. As the result of the study, to prevent the hazard, the input of inert gas and the installation of a pressure gauge were indispensable. In addition, the initiator and monomer should also be separated, and inhibiting substances and equipment are also necessary to prevent a runaway reaction.
