In this study, a new recentering friction device (RFD) to retrofit steel moment frame structures is introduced. The device provides both self-centering and energy dissipation capabilities for the retrofitted structure. A hybrid performance-based seismic design procedure considering multiple limit states is proposed for designing the device and the retrofitted structure. The design of the RFD is achieved by modifying the conventional performance-based seismic design (PBSD) procedure using computational intelligence techniques, namely, genetic algorithm (GA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Numerous nonlinear time-history response analyses (NLTHAs) are conducted on multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) and single-degree of freedom (SDOF) systems to train and validate the ANN to achieve high prediction accuracy. The proposed procedure and the new RFD are assessed using 2D and 3D models globally and locally. Globally, the effectiveness of the proposed device is assessed by conducting NLTHAs to check the maximum inter-story drift ratio (MIDR). Seismic fragilities of the retrofitted models are investigated by constructing fragility curves of the models for different limit states. After that, seismic life cycle cost (LCC) is estimated for the models with and without the retrofit. Locally, the stress concentration at the contact point of the RFD and the existing steel frame is checked being within acceptable limits using finite element modeling (FEM). The RFD showed its effectiveness in minimizing MIDR and eliminating residual drift for low to mid-rise steel frames models tested. GA and ANN proved to be crucial integrated parts in the modified PBSD to achieve the required seismic performance at different limit states with reasonable computational cost. ANN showed a very high prediction accuracy for transformation between MDOF and SDOF systems. Also, the proposed retrofit showed its efficiency in enhancing the seismic fragility and reducing the LCC significantly compared to the un-retrofitted models.

유전자 알고리즘(GA:Genetic Algorithm)은 최적화 문제를 풀기 위해 생물학적 진화(evolution) 과정을 모방한 최적화 알고리즘이다. 유전자 알고리즘은 복잡한 상태 공간에서 최적 해를 찾기 위해 전통적인 최적화 기법과는 달리 유향적 임의 탐색을 행한다. 학습에 해당하는 국부 탐색(local search)을 유전적 알고리즘은 exploration 탐색과 exploitation 탐색의 균형을 유지시켜 줄 수 있는 한 방법이다. 모집단 내의 각 개체가 진화 과정 중에 학습한 유전적 특질들은 그 다음 세대에서 되물림 되며 이러한 학습(learning) 과정을 유전자 알고리즘과 결합시킴으로써 탐색 속도의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 함수 최적화를 위해 속도를 개선한 셀룰러 학습을 기반으로 하는 유전자 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 셀룰러 학습 전략은 셀룰러 오토마타의 주기성과 수렴성을 기반으로 하며, 유기체가 그 개체의 생명 주기의 한 세대에서 얻게되는 지식과 경험들을 자손에게 전달한다는 이론을 바탕으로 한다. 제안한 셀룰러 학습 전략의 효율을 기존의 복합 유전자 알고리즘에서의 라마키안 진화 및 볼드윈 효과와 비교하였다. 다양한 테스트 베드 함수에 대한 실험을 통하여 셀룰러 학습에 의한 개체의 국부적 향상이 전체적인 성능 향상에 기여함을 알 수 있었고 제안한 학습 전략이 기존의 방법보다 더 빨리 전역 최적 해를 찾을 수 있음을 증명하였다.

ZnO 바리스터는 다결정구조를 가지는 반도체 소자로 결정립과 입계의 미세구조 제어를 통해 비선형적인 전류/전압 특성을 가지기 때문에 서지(surge)전압으로부터 회로를 보호하는 역할을 한다. 이러한 ZnO 바리스터에서 원하는 전기적 물성을 얻기 위해서는 소결 공정에서 미세구조의 제어가 중요하다. 따라서 소결 공정에서 중요한 변수들과 소결체의 전기적 물성인 유전율로 구성된 데이터셋을 정의한 후 실험계획법 기반으로 데이터를 수집했다. 수집된 실험데이터셋을 기계학습 알고리즘에 학습하여 메타모델을 개발했고, 개발된 메타모델에 수치기반 최적화 알고리즘인 HMA(Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm)를 적용하여 최대 유전율을 가질 수 있는 공정조건을 도출했다. 이러한 메타모델 기반의 최적화를 다변수 시스템인 세라믹공정에 적용한다면 최소한의 실험만으로 최적 공정조건 탐색이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In recent years, the Television White Space (TVWS) has attracted the interest of many researchers due to its propagation characteristics obtainable between 470MHz and 790MHz spectrum bands. The plenty of unused channels in the TV spectrum allows the secondary users (SUs) to use the channels for broadband services especially in rural areas. However, when the number of SUs increases in the TVWS wireless network the aggregate interference also increases. Aggregate interferences are the combined harmful interferences that can include both co-channel and adjacent interferences. The aggregate interference on the side of Primary Users (PUs) has been extensively scrutinized. Therefore, resource allocation (power and spectrum) is crucial when designing the TVWS network to avoid interferences from Secondary Users (SUs) to PUs and among SUs themselves. This paper proposes a model to improve the resource allocation for reducing the aggregate interface among SUs for broadband services in rural areas. The proposed model uses joint power and spectrum hybrid Firefly algorithm (FA), Genetic algorithm (GA), and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (PSO) which is considered the Co-channel interference (CCI) and Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI). The algorithm is integrated with the admission control algorithm so that; there is a possibility to remove some of the SUs in the TVWS network whenever the SINR threshold for SUs and PU are not met. We considered the infeasible system whereby all SUs and PU may not be supported simultaneously. Therefore, we proposed a joint spectrum and power allocation with an admission control algorithm whose better complexity and performance than the ones which have been proposed in the existing algorithms in the literature. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared using the metrics such as sum throughput, PU SINR, algorithm running time and SU SINR less than threshold and the results show that the PSOFAGA with ELGR admission control algorithm has best performance compared to GA, PSO, FA, and FAGAPSO algorithms.

In the present study, PV/T collector was modeled via analysis of governing equations and physics of the problem. Specifications of solar radiation were computed based on geographical characteristics of the location and the corresponding time. Temperature of the collector plate was calculated as a function of time using the energy equations and temperature behavior of the photovoltaic cell was incorporated in the model with the aid of curve fitting. Subsequently, operational range for reaching to maximal efficiency was studied using Genetic Algorithm (GA) technique. Optimization was performed by defining an objective function based on equivalent value of electrical and thermal energies. Optimal values for equipment components were determined. The optimal value of water flow rate was approximately 1 gallon per minute (gpm). The collector angle was around 50 degrees, respectively. By selecting the optimal values of parameters, efficiency of photovoltaic collector was improved about 17% at initial moments of collector operation. Efficiency increase was around 5% at steady condition. It was demonstrated that utilization of photovoltaic collector can improve efficiency of solar energy-based systems.

Spam and Malware are some of the most affecting threats found on Twitter. Therefore, in order to enjoy seamless services it is required to secure Twitter against malicious users by fixing them in advance. Various researches have used many Machine Learning (ML) based approaches to detect spammers on Twitter. This research aims to devise a secure system based on Hybrid Similarity Cosine and Soft Cosine measured in combination with Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to secure Twitter network against spammers. The similarity among tweets is determined using Cosine with Soft Cosine which has been applied on the Twitter dataset. GA has been utilized to enhance training with minimum training error by selecting the best suitable features according to the designed fitness function. The tweets have been classified as spammer and non-spammer based on ANN structure along with the voting rule. The True Positive Rate (TPR), False Positive Rate (FPR) and Classification Accuracy are considered as the evaluation parameter to evaluate the performance of system designed in this research. The simulation results reveals that our proposed model outperform the existing state-of-arts.

In this paper, a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA) approach is proposed for an n-job, m-machine flow shop scheduling problem with limited capacity buffers with blocking in which the objective is to minimize the total stretch. The stretch of a job is the ratio of the amount of time the job spent before its completion to its processing time. HGA adopts the idea of seed selection and development in order to improve the exploitation and exploration power of genetic algorithms (GAs). Extensive computational experiments have been conducted to compare the performance of HGA with that of GA.

Fuzzy logic and neural networks are complemetary technologies in the design of intelligent system. Fuzzy neural network(FNN) as an auto-tuning method is actually known to an excellent method for the adjustment of the fuzzy rule. However, this has a weak point, because the convergence to the optimum depends on the initial condition. In this paper we develop a coding format to determine a FNN model by chromosome in GA and present systematic approach to identify the parameters and structure of FNN. The proposed hybrid tuning method realizes to construct minimal and optimal structure of the fuzzy mode simultaneously and automatically. This paper shows effectiveness of the tuning system by simulations compared with conventional methods.
