If a system such as a port has a large boundary and complexity, and the system's substance is considered as a black box, forecast accuracy will be very low. Futhermore various components in a port exert significant influence on each other. To copy with these problem the form of structure models were introduced by using SD method. The Competitive Ports Model had several sub-systems consisting of each Unit Port models, and each Unit Port model was made by quantitative, qualitative factors and their feedback loops. The fact that all components of one port have influence on the components of the other ports should be taken into account to construct Competitive Port Models. However, with the current approach that is impossible, and in this paper therefore, models were simplified by HFP adapted to integrate level variables of unit port models. Although many studies on modelling of port competitive situation have been conducted, both theoretical frame and methodology are still very weak. In this study, a new algorithm called ESD(Extensional System Dynamics) for the evaluation of port competition was presented, and applied to simulate port systems in northeast asia.

The ecology of house swallow is closely related to the humans life because their life depend on the human settlements conditions and environments. 30 years ago house swallows are very common at the country side, but recently they are very rare. Almost the number of house swallows decrease as 1 of hundredth during 20 years. Why this dramatic population decrease are happening in the ecology of house swallow? The Population size impacted by many factors such as nesting, breeding, feeding, returning. The objective of this paper is to analyse the population dynamics of the ecology of House Swallow. This paper focuses on the important ecological changes-nests, foods, and return rates from wintering area-associated with recent country side development. In this paper, we explore the feedback loops of population dynamics and simulate the policy scenario model.

A LCD backlight inverter control IC based on the piezoelectric transformer (PZT) for Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) lighting is proposed. It is indeed a variable frequency, variable duty (VFVD) controller having dual feedback control loops for achieving both the regulation of lamp current and the maximum efficiency. The PWM controller regulates the lamp current, while the PLL controller tunes the operating frequency to the frequency that the efficiency of the combined LC-PZT resonator becomes maximum. The mixed PLL/PWM control technique lets the backlight inverter operate at the maximum efficiency in spite of the variation of component and environment. The controller features include a protection for an open or broken lamps, and an open lamp regulation.

Most living organisms synchronize their physiological and behavioral activities with the daily changes in the environment using intrinsic time-keeping systems called circadian clocks. In mammals, the key molecular features of the internal clock are transcription- and translational-based negative feedback loops, in which clock-specific transcription factors activate the periodic expression of their own repressors, thereby generating the circadian rhythms. CLOCK and BMAL1, the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)/PAS transcription factors, constitute the positive limb of the molecular clock oscillator. Recent investigations have shown that various levels of posttranslational regulation work in concert with CLOCK/BMAL1 in mediating circadian and cellular stimuli to control and reset the circadian rhythmicity. Here we review how the CLOCK and BMAL1 activities are regulated by intracellular distribution, posttranslational modification, and the recruitment of various epigenetic regulators in response to circadian and cellular signaling pathways.

This paper presents a new approach to design a robust tracking controller for linear time-invariant systems with uncertain time-delay. By introducing the model following control (MFC) structure which consists of two loops in nature, we show that the controller is capable of having a predictive control action and effectively tracking the reference output with a desired transient response as well. Three design techniques to achieve good tracking performance are suggested. It is also analytically shown that the tracking performance of the proposed scheme is more robust than that of typical single-loop feedback structure. An illustrative example is given to compare the tracking performances of the proposed methods with a single loop method.

A more technical perspective is needed in estimating the effect of the Manufacturing Process for improving the Productivity, there are many statistical evaluation methods, convenience sampling, frequencies, histogram, QC seven tools, control chart etc. It is more important for the companies to use six sigma to reduce defective and improve the process control than the technical definition as a disciplined quantitative approach for improvement of process control and a new way of quality innovation. Process network analysis is a technique which has the potentiality for a wide use to improve the manufacturing process which other techniques can't be used to analyze effectively. It has some problems to analyze the process with feedback loops. The branch probabilities during quality inspections depend upon the number of times the product has been rejected. This paper presents how to improve the manufacturing process by statistical process control using branch probabilities, Moment Generating Function(MGF) and Sensitivity Equation.

In this paper, we present a new control and monitoring technique for a power system using CAN(Controller Area Network). Feedback control systems having co'ntrol loops closed through a network(i.e. Ethernet, ControlNet, CAN) are called NCSs(Networked Control Systems). The major problem of NCSs is the variation of stability property according to time delay including network-induced delay and computation delay in nodes. We present a new stability analysis method of NCSs with time delay exploiting a state-space model of LTI(Linear Time Invariant) interconnected systems. The proposed method can determine a proper sampling period of NCSs that preserves stability performance even in NCSs with a dynamic controller. We design CAN nodes which can transmit control and monitoring data through CAN bus and apply these to NCSs for a power system. The results of the experiment validate effectiveness of our control and monitoring technique for a power system.
