Using magnetorheological (MR) dampers in multiswitch open-loop control mode has been shown to be cost-effective for cable vibration mitigation. In this paper, a method for analyzing the damping performance of taut cables incorporating MR dampers in open-loop control mode is developed considering the effects of damping coefficient, damper stiffness, damper mass, and stiffness of the damper support. Making use of a three-element model of MR dampers and complex modal analysis, both numerical and asymptotic solutions are obtained. An analytical expression is obtained from the asymptotic solution to evaluate the equivalent damping ratio of the cable-damper system in the open-loop control mode. The individual and combined effects of the damping coefficient, damper stiffness, damper mass and stiffness of damper support on vibration control effectiveness are investigated in detail. The main thrust of the present study is to derive a general formula explicitly relating the normalized system damping ratio and the normalized damper parameters in consideration of all concerned effects, which can be easily used for the design of MR dampers to achieve optimal open-loop vibration control of taut cables.

Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first emerged in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has rapidly become a global pandemic with over 26.4 million confirmed cases and approximately 871,000 fatalities worldwide as of this writing. In the Republic of Korea, disease clusters frequently occurred in long-term care hospitals where the majority of residents are elderly with underlying medical conditions. Despite the fact that public health authorities and local community health centers have put tremendous efforts into preventing the spread of disease, positive cases have continued to occur. Thus, the Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention rapid response team decided to conduct an environmental investigation of a long-term care hospital to identify whether environmental contamination has remained and contributed to the spread of COVID-19. Methods: An environmental investigation was conducted at Hospital A. The characteristics of the facility and its HVAC system were assessed by checking the layout and interviewing the people in charge. A total of 64 surface samples were collected from areas of concern, including patient rooms, toilets, elevators, and nurses' station. These samples were tested by a regional health and environmental research institute using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results: All samples from Hospital A were confirmed to be negative. Through interviews with high-level personnel at the regional community health center, we found that extensive disinfection is frequently performed on potentially contaminated areas in Hospital A in accordance with government guidelines. Conclusion: The environmental control measures implemented in Hospital A had been sufficient for mitigating the risk of further infection, suggesting that such measures may also be effective for other long-term health care facilities.

현재 기존에 상용화 되어 있는 LED 조명기기의 경우, LED 동작 시퀀스가 고정이 되어 있는 상태로 판매되고 있다. 이와 같은 상태로는 외부 환경 요인이 고려되지 않고 오직 장소에만 적용되는 조명 환경 용도로서의 기능만을 수행한다. 현재는 선박 내 외부 환경 요인의 변화에 따른 최적의 조명 환경 조성이 어렵게 되어있다. 그러므로 외부 환경 요인의 변화에 좀 더 유기적이고 능동적으로 적응할 수 있도록 외부 환경 값을 입력받아 실시간으로 최적 조명 값이 반영될 수 있도록 해야 될 필요성이 있다는 결론을 얻게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 마이크로프로세서를 선박 통합관리 시스템으로 활용하여 기존의 외부 환경 요인에 의하여 실시간으로 변동되는 환경 데이터를 다루며, 외부 환경요인을 확인하고 또한 퍼지 추론 시스템을 접목하여 RGB LED 모듈 조명 제어가 가능한 제어기를 구성하였다. 이를 위하여 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 설계하고, 퍼지 제어 시스템을 구성하였다. 외부 환경 요소인 피사체와의 거리, 조도 값을 센서로 통해 입력 받고 이 값들을 퍼지 제어 알고리즘을 통하여 최적 조명 값으로 변환하여 RGB LED 모듈 조광 제어를 통하여 표현하고 퍼지 제어 시스템의 실질적인 효능을 확인하였다.

In this study, we propose a new control system that effectively utilizes the interaction effect of control force through the connection of stiffness member for seismic performance enhancement of two adjacent structures equipped with active tuned mass damper (ATMD). The efficiency of the proposed control system is verified by comparing with the existing independent control system through the numerical simulations of the 10th- and 12th-story buildings. From the numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed method can show similar or better control performance even with more economical control capacity than the existing independent control system. Another advantage is that the existing system does not exhibit the adaptive control performance in emergency of failure of one control device, whereas the proposed system can achieve successful adaptive control performance by economically and efficiently utilizing the interacting control effect through the connection member.

Recent public concern about air pollution caused by swine production facilities has forced to develop the methods to reduce and control the swine odors. Swine odors were affected the life of pig farm neighborhoods, swine productivity, pig health, diseases, and human right, safety, sanity as negatively. The first approaches of control of swine odors are the change or improve of the classical management systems, which are manure treatment method, manure storage facility, phase feeding, sex-divided feeding, feeder type, liquid-slurry feeding, environment control of swine building and dust control of indoor swine facility. The methods to control odor emission from manure have to include the diet modification as nutritional basis. In recent, research emphasis has focused on manipulating the swine diet to increase the nutrient utilization of the diet to reduce excretion products and reduction of odors. There are lots of feed additives and pit additives introduced as practical basis for reducing odor emissions. The ozone treatment method is candidate as the good system for reducing swine odor. But this system is still too expensive to practice in present.

Modeling of magnetorheological (MR) dampers for cable vibration control to facilitate the design of even more effective and economical systems is still a challenging task. In this study, a parameter-adaptive three-element model is first established for a full-scale MR damper based on laboratory tests. The parameters of the model are represented by a set of empirical formulae in terms of displacement amplitude, voltage input, and excitation frequency. The model is then incorporated into the governing equation of cable-damper system for investigation of open-loop vibration control of stay cables in a cable-stayed bridge. The concept of optimal voltage/current input achieving the maximum damping for the system is put forward and verified. Multi-mode suboptimal and Single-mode optimal open-loop control method is then developed. Important conclusions are drawn on application issues and unique characteristics of open-loop cable vibration control using MR dampers.

본 실험은 장미 식물공장에서 single-node cutting 'Versillia'의 양분흡수 특성을 구명하고 순환식 수경재배 시스템에 적합한 배양액 내 무기이온 조절방식을 구명하고자 수행하였다. 실험 기간동안 각 처리별 배양액 내 무기이온함량 변화를 살펴본 결과 EC 제어구의 경우 $NO_3$-N은 생육 후반이 되면 그 함량이 적정 범위 이상으로 증가 하였고 P와 Mg은 감소하였으며 배양액 첨가구는 전체적인 배양액 내 무기이온 함량이 증가하였다. 이에 비해 무기이온 제어구는 생육 기간동안 근권 내 적정 범위를 유지하였다. 광합성 효율을 나타내는 지표 중 하나인 Fv/Fm는 무기이온제어구와 배양액 첨가구에서 높았고 절화장, 생체중 등은 무기이온 제어구에서 높았다. 그러나 뿌리의 활성 정도를 측정해본 결과 무기이온 제어구에서 높았으나 배양액 첨 가구에서는 생육 초기에 배양액 내 pH 변화폭이 커서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 위의 결과를 종합하였을 때, 무기이온 조절(다량 미량원소 제어구와 다량원소 제어구)을 통해 배양액을 관리하는 것이 생육 전 기간 동안 근권 환경을 적절히 유지해 줄 수 있었고 이에 따라 절화 품질도 향상되므로 장미(single-node cutting) 순환식 수경재배에 적합한 근권 환경 제어방식이라고 할 수 있다.

Sensitivity and calibration considerations are most important in the design and implementation of real control systems. Ideally parameter changes due to various causes should not appreciably affect the system's performances. But all the values of physical components of the plants and controllers as well as the relevant environmental conditions change in time, thus the output performance can be deteriorated during the operating span of the system. Naturally the duty of calibration or the prevention of performance deterioration due to excessive component sensitivity should be provided to the control system. In this paper, we propose a digital controller which has the capability of calibration and gain adjustment as well as the execution of control law. Specifically the problems of gain adjustment and offset calibration in the light source and CdS sensor module for position measurement in a flexible link system are considerably resolved. The parameters of measurement module are prone to change due to environmental brightness conditions resulting in poor steady state performance of the overall control system. Thus a proper method is necessary to provide correction to the changed values of gain and offset in the position measurement module. The proposed controller, whenever necessary, measures the open-loop characteristics, andthen calculates the offset and sensor gain correction values based on the prepared standard measurements. It is applied to the control of a flexible link system with the gain and offset calibration porblems in the light sensor module for position to show the applicability.

There are various methods for welding fume control. These methods can be divided into local exhaust system, general ventilation system and integrated control system. With the general ventilation system, we should have a good prediction tool for testing various appropriate control options. But, until now there are not many studies about how to predict the welding fume concentrations. Especially, the prediction of welding fume concentration is not a very easy task because welding fume is the particulate matters. In this study, we tried to measure $CO_2$ concentrations and welding fume concentrations in a small single room with a small ventilation opening. Using commercially available CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software, we tried to predict $CO_2$ concentrations under the exactly same conditions. Then, we tried to compare the numerical $CO_2concentrations$ with the experimental results to know whether we could predict $CO_2$ concentrations. Then we tried to compare $CO_2$ concentrations with experimental welding fume concentrations to know whether we can use the numerical $CO_2concentrations$ to predict the welding fume concentration indirectly.
