Optimum directivity synthesis of ultrasonic transducers in linear array is considered. To realize the desired directivity, a robust and efficient method is proposed which is the direct inversion combined with the iterative DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method. A quasi-ideal beam with the beam width and the steering beam angle specified are chosen for the numerical demonstrations. The demonstration is then extended to the case of multi-beams. The proposed combination method shows quick convergence over the single LMS or DFP method at the expense of the system matrix inversion.

In this paper, a new linearization algorithm for DPD(Digital PreDistorter) is suggested. This new algorithm uses DFP(Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method. This algorithm is more accurate than that of the existing algorithms, and this method renew the best-fit value in every routine with out setting the initial value of step-size. In modeling power amplifier, the memory polynomial model which can model the memory effect of the power amplifier is used. And the overall structure of linearizer is based on an indirect learning architecture. In order to verify for performance of proposed algorithm, we compared with LMS(Least Mean-Squares), RLS(Recursive Least squares) algorithm.

In this paper, a decimal floating-point arithmetic unit(DFP) was proposed and redesigned to support high speed arithmetic operation employed parallel processing technique. The basic architecture of the proposed DFP was based on the L.K.Wang's DFP and improved it enabling high speed operation by parallel processing for two operands with same size of exponent. The proposed DFP was synthesized as a target device of xc2vp30-7ff896 using Xilinx ISE and verified by simulation using Flowrian tool of System Centroid co. Compared to L.K.Wang's DFP and reference [6]'s method, the proposed DFP improved data processing speed about 8.4% and 3% respectively in case of same input data.

This paper carried out numerical calculation about the directivity synthesis problem in two dimension of adaptive ultrasonic transducers. Adaptive system for directivity synthesis is constructed by multi-electrode array on the surface of only one piezoelectric ceramic plate combined with optimal algorithm. In order to realize the desired directivity that is established arbitrarily, the optimal vibrational displacement is calculated by optimal algorithm (DFP method). Secondly, the optimal voltage of electrodes which is correspond to the calculated vibrational displacement is calculated used by finite element method and DFP method. And, the vibration analysis in two dimension of piezoelectric transducer carried out by means of finite element method.

A stochastic rainfall model, NSRPM (Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model), is able to reflect the cluster characteristics of rainfall events which is unable in the RPM (Rectangular Pulse Model). Therefore NSRPM has advantage in the hydrological applications. The NSRPM consists of five model parameters and the parameters are estimated using optimization techniques such as DFP (Davidon-Fletcher-Powell) method and genetic algorithm. However the DFP method is very sensitive in initial values and is easily converge to local minimum. Also genetic algorithm has disadvantage of long computation time. Nelder-Mead method has several advantages of short computation time and no need of a proper initial value. In this study, the applicability of parameter estimation methods was evaluated using rainfall data of 59 national rainfall networks from 1973-2011. Overall results demonstrated that accuracy in parameter estimation is in the order of Nelder-Mead method, genetic algorithm, and DFP method.

구형펄스모형(Rectangular Pulse Model)에서 반영하지 못하는 강우의 군집특성을 잘 반영하는 NSRPM(Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model) 강우생성 모형은 수자원 분야에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 일반적으로 NSRPM의 5개의 매개변수를 추정하는 최적화기법으로 DFP(Davidon-Fletcher-Powell)과 유전자알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 DFP는 주어진 초기 값에 따라 민감하며 각 반복 단계마다 헤시안행렬(Hessian Matrix)을 계산하여야 하며 추정된 전체의 해가 국지해에 수렴 할 수 있는 단점이 있다. 유전자 알고리즘을 DFP와 다르게 헤시안 행렬을 사용하지 않고 최적화를 할 수 있다는 장점이 있으나 시간이 오래 걸리는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 보완, 강화 하기위해서 최적화 기법으로 반복 단계마다 미분계산이 필요하지 않고 빠른 속도로 계산이 가능한 Nelder-Mead 알고리즘 이용하여 NSRPM매개변수를 추정하고 정확도를 비교하였다. 표 1은 각 기법을 이용하여 추정된 매개변수를 이용하여 생성한 강우의 통계특성과 관측된 통계특성의 상대오차를 나타낸 것이다. 괄호 안 숫자는 중첩되지 않는 누적시간을 나타낸다. 상대오차는 다음과 같다(식 1). 분석결과 Nelder-Mead 기법이 1시간의 평균, 공분산과 6시간 분산 등 전체적으로 GA, DFP보다 높은 정확도를 보였다.

To develop the efficient numerical optimization method for the design of an airfoil, an evaluation of various methods coupled with two-dimensional Naviev-Stokes analysis is presented. Simplex method and Hook-Jeeves method we used as direct search methods, and steepest descent method, conjugate gradient method and DFP method are used as indirect search methods and are tested to determine the search direction. To determine the moving distance, the golden section method and cubic interpolation method are tested. The finite volume method is used to discretize two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, and SIMPLEC algorithm is used for a velocity-pressure correction method. For the optimal design of two-dimensional airfoil, maximum thickness, maximum ordinate of camber line and chordwise position of maximum ordinate are chosen as design variables, and the ratio of drag coefficient to lift coefficient is selected as an objective function. From the results, it is found that conjugate gradient method and cubic interpolation method are the most efficient for the determination of search direction and the moving distance, respectively.

This study was performed to analyze the retarded degree of Garaetteok retrogradation added with different ratios 0-15% (w/w) of apple pomace dietary fiber powder (DFP). SEM (${\times}$500) showed that air cell size on the Garaetteok surface increased as DFP content increased, whereas control had a compact structure without air cells. The degrees of Garaetteok retrogradation after 3 days at 4 and 25$^{\circ}C$ by ${\alpha}$-amylase iodine method were 57.44 and 41.55% for control, respectively. On the other hand, those of 15% DFP Garaetteok were 28.38 and 15.05%, respectively. Enthalpy changes (${\Delta}$E) by DSC of control, 10 and 20% DFP Garaetteok after 3 days of storage at 4$^{\circ}C$ were 4.41, 4.17, and 3.80 J/g, respectively, whereas those at 25$^{\circ}C$ were 2.14, 1.04, and 0.72 J/g. Hardness of 15% DFP Garaetteok was around 48% compared to that of control after 3 days of storage at 25$^{\circ}C$. Increasing DFP content from 0 to 15% decreased L color value from 86.2 to 55.1, whereas a and b values increased from -1.9 to 8.9 and from 5.3 to 20.8, respectively. In a sensory intensity test, hardnesses of 15% DEP Garaetteok were significantly different at 1 and 0.1% compared to those of control after production and followed by storage for 3 days at 4$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study aims to pursue the multi-functional textile finishing method to detoxify chemical warfare agent by simply treating the well-known antimicrobial agent, chitosan, to cotton fabric. For this purpose, DFP(diisopropylfluorophosphate) was sele cted as a chemical warfare agent simulant and cotton fabric was treated with 0.5, 1.0, and 2wt% chitosan solution in 1wt% acetic acid. DFP decontamination properties of the chitosan treated cotton fabrics were evaluated and compared with the untreated cotton fabric. The chitosan treated cotton fabrics showed better DFP decontamination than the untreated cotton. Decontamination properties of the chitosan treated cotton fabrics improved with the increased chitosan solution used. Especially, the cotton fabrics treated with 2wt% chitosan solution showed 5 times more DFP decontamina tion than the untreated cotton fabrics. This suggested that the chitosan treated fabric has potential to be used as a material for protective clothing with chemical warfare agent detoxifying and antimicrobial properties.

Eight structurally different acetylcholinesterase reactivators derived from currently commercially available oximes were tested for their potency to reactivate acetylcholinesterase inhibited by pesticide paraoxon (P) and DFP (D). Housefly AChE (F) and bovine red blood cell AChE (B) were used as the source of the cholinesterases. Ellman's method was taken to examine cholinesterases activity. The results show that four AChE reactivators are potent AChE reactivators, able to reach reactivation potency of more than 30% in all cases - PF, PB, DF and DB. Their reactivation potency was comparable with that of pralidoxime and even higher compared with that of HI-6, standard AChE reactivators currently available on the market.
