A treatability study was conducted using a hydrocarbon-contaminated soil for the oPtimization of bioremediation strategy best fit to a given set of contamination. The applicability of nutrients, biosurfactant, and oil-degrading microorganisms were examined by monitoring $CO_2$ evolution and oil degradation The addition of inorganic nutrients in the form of slow released fertilizer accelerated the initial rate of $CO_2$ evolution by a factor of 3. The application of oil-degrading microorganisms did not significantly increased $CO_2$ evolution or biodegradation efficiency. Application of a commercial biosurfactant was most effect in terms of the total $CO_2$ evolution and the oil degradation rate. The results indicate that $CO_2$ evolution measurement was found to be a simple and reliable countermeasure of crude oil hydrocarbon mineralization for the rapid determination of the best-fit bioremediation strategy.

The nickel-based alloy Nimonic 80A possesses strength, and corrosion, creep and oxidation resistance at high temperature. These products are used for aerospace, marine engineering and power generation, etc. The control of forging parameters such as strain, strain rate, temperature and holding time is important because the microstructure change in hot working affects the mechanical properties. It is necessary to understand the microstructure variation evolution. The microstructure change evolution occurs by recovery, recrystallization and grain growth phenomena. The dynamic recrystallization evolution has been studied in the temperature range $950-1250^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range $0.05-5s^{-1}$ using hot compression tests. The metadynamic recrystallization and grain growth evolution has been studied in the temperature range $950-1250^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range 0.05, $5s^{-1}$, holding time range 5, 10, 100, 600 sec using hot compression tests. Modeling equations are developed to represent the flow curve, recrystallized grain size, recrystallized fraction and grain growth phenomena by various tests. Parameters of modeling equation are expressed as a function of the Zener-Hollomon parameter. The modeling equation for grain growth is expressed as a function of initial grain size and holding time.

The next generation mobile communication systems require error correcting schemes that can be adaptable to various code rates and lengths with negligible performance degradation. Serial concatenated convolutional codes can be a good candidate satisfying these requirements. In this paper, we propose new rate-compatible punctured serial concatenated convolutional code (RCPSCCC) which performs better than the RCPSCCC proposed by Chandran and Valenti in the sense of the rate compatibility. These codes are evaluated and analyzed by using computer simulation and SNR evolution technique. As their application, Type-II hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes using both RCPSCCCs are constructed and new RCPSCCC is shown to have better throughput.

In order to apply the Sievert's type automatic apparatus to thermal analysis of hydrogen absorbing materials, the dehydrogenation of the Mg-H system was investigated. As the initial wt% of hydrogen was increased to 4.4, the peak temperature of evolution rate shifted to higher temperature. However, with the initial wt% of hydrogen higher than 4.4, peak temperature of evolution rate did not change. The peak temperatures of evolution rate obtained by automatic apparatus were almost the same as those measured by a manual apparatus. As the heating rate was increased, the peak temperatures increased; the peak temperatures for heating rates 1, 2 and 3 K/min were 664, 687 and 702 K, respectively. The activation energy for the decomposition of Mg hydride was 101 kJ/mol. The Sievert's type automatic apparatus can be successively applied to the thermal analysis of metal hydride.

In this paper, we propose a new type of evolution strategies combined with reinforcement learning. We use the variances of fitness occurred by mutation to make the reinforcement signals which estimate and control the step length of mutation. With this proposed method, the convergence rate is improved. Also, we use cauchy distributed mutation to increase global convergence faculty. Cauchy distributed mutation is more likely to escape from a local minimum or move away from a plateau. After an outline of the history of evolution strategies, it is explained how evolution strategies can be combined with the reinforcement learning, named reinforcement evolution strategies. The performance of proposed method will be estimated by comparison with conventional evolution strategies on several test problems.

The dynamical evolution of globular clusters is studied using the orbit-averaged multicomponent Fokker-Planck equation. The original code developed by Cohn(1980) is modi-fied to include the effect of stellar evolutions. Plommer's model is chosen as the initial density distribution with the initial mass function index $\alpha$=0.25, 0.65, 1.35, 2.35, and 3.35. The mass loss rate adopted in this work follows that of Fusi-Pecci and Renzini(1976). The stellar mass loss acts as the energy source, and thus affects the dynamical evolution of globular clusters by slowing down the evolution rate and extending the core collapse time Tcc. And the dynamical length scale $$R_c, $$R_h is also extended. This represents the expansion of cluster due to the stellar mass loss.

The rectilinear Steiner tree problem (RSTP) is to find a minimum-length rectilinear interconnection of a set of terminals in the plane. It is well known that the solution to this problem will be the minimal spanning tree (MST) on some set Steiner points. The RSTP is known to be NP-complete. The RSTP has received a lot of attention in the literature and heuristic and optimal algorithms have been proposed, A key performance measure of the algorithm for the RSTP is the reduction rate that is achieved by the difference between the objective value of the RSTP and that of the MST without Steiner points. A hybrid evolution strategy on RSTP based upon the Prim algorithm was presented. The computational results show that the evolution strategy is better than the previously proposed other heuristic. The average reduction rate of solutions from the evolution strategy is about 11%, which is almost similar to that of optimal solutions.

In the present work, the two-back stress model is proposed and continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is incorporated into the plastic constitutive relation in order to describe the plastic deformation localization and the damage evolution in a deforming continuum body. Coupling between damage mechanics and isothermal rate independent plasticity is performed using the kinematic hardening rule, which in turn is formulated by combining the nonlinear Armstrong-Frederick rule and the Phillips rule. The numerical analyses are carried out within h deformation theory. It is noted that the damage evolution within a work piece accelerates the plastic deformation localization such that the material with lower hardening exponent results in a rapid shear band formation. Moreover, the results from the numerical analysis reflected closely with the micro-structures around the fractured regime. The effects of the various hardening parameters on deformation localization are also investigated. As the nonlinear strain rate description in the back stress evolution becomes dominant, the strain localization becomes intensified as well as the damage evolution.

The correlation between alcoholic fermentation rate, measured as carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) evolution, and the rate of hydrogen sulfide ($H_2S$) formation during wine production was investigated. Both rates and the resulting concentration peaks in fermentor headspace $H_2S$ were directly impacted by yeast assimilable nitrogenous compounds in the grape juice. A series of model fermentations was conducted in temperature-controlled and stirred fermentors using a complex model juice with defined concentrations of ammonium ions and/or amino acids. The fermentation rate was measured indirectly by noting the weight loss of the fermentor; $H_2S$ was quantitatively trapped in realtime using a pre-calibrated $H_2S$ detection tube which was inserted into a fermentor gas relief port. Evolution rates for $CO_2$ and $H_2S$ as well as the relative ratios between them were calculated. These fermentations confirmed that total sulfide formation was strongly yeast strain-dependent, and high concentrations of yeast assimilable nitrogen did not necessarily protect against elevated $H_2S$ formation. High initial concentrations of ammonium ions via addition of diammonium phosphate (DAP) caused a higher evolution of $H_2S$ when compared with a non-supplemented but nondeficient juice. It was observed that the excess availability of a certain yeast assimilable amino acid, arginine, could result in a more sustained $CO_2$ production rate throughout the wine fermentation. The contribution of yeast assimilable amino acids from conventional commercial yeast foods to lowering of the $H_2S$ formation was marginal.
