Control algorithms are the most important aspects in successful control of structures against earthquakes. In recent years, intelligent control methods rather than classical control methods have been more considered by researchers, due to some specific capabilities such as handling nonlinear and complex systems, adaptability, and robustness to errors and uncertainties. However, due to lack of learning ability of fuzzy controller, it is used in combination with a genetic algorithm, which in turn suffers from some problems like premature convergence around an incorrect target. Therefore in this research, the introduction and design of the Fuzzy Cooperative Coevolution (Fuzzy CoCo) controller and Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) have been innovatively presented for semi-active seismic control. In this research, in order to improve the seismic behavior of structures, a semi-active control of building using Magneto Rheological (MR) damper is proposed to determine input voltage of Magneto Rheological (MR) dampers using ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the performance of controllers. In this paper, the design of controllers is based on the reduction of the Park-Ang damage index. In order to assess the effectiveness of the designed control system, its function is numerically studied on a 9-story benchmark building, and is compared to those of a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN), fuzzy logic controller optimized by genetic algorithm (GAFLC), Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and Clipped Optimal Control (COC) systems in terms of seismic performance. The results showed desirable performance of the ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers in considerably reducing the structure responses under different earthquakes; for instance ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers showed respectively 38 and 46% reductions in peak inter-story drift ($J_1$) compared to the LQG controller; 30 and 39% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the COC controller and 3 and 16% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the GAFLC controller. When compared to other controllers, one can conclude that Fuzzy CoCo controller performs better.

The COVID 19 pandemic resulted in a considerable influence on the world economy. Being a big sector of the economy, the food supply chain struggled. The meat supply chain was most notably affected as every part of the supply chain from farm to shelf was closely inter-related. With the closure of businesses and restaurants the demand for at home food from grocery stores increased. Meat production facilities were impacted when the virus spread to the workers causing facilities to close or line speeds to slow. The combination of these two issues, in turn, led to there being less meat on the shelves. With less meat animals being harvested, there was less demand for livestock leading to farmers having an excess in slaughter ready animals. The decreased demand for livestock led to economic issues as money was lost in multiple sections of the supply chain. Aside from the economy and supply chain issues, other issues include concerns over the safety of meat products due to decreased safety protocols to increase line speed. Additionally, concerns of animal welfare with the excess of animals being culled were raised due to decreased capacity in processing facilities. While this review paper mainly focuses on characterizing the impact of COVID 19 on the meat supply chain in the USA, the compiled information should be able to provide practical insights to the meat/food industry across the globe to develop potential mitigating strategies against the COVID 19 and/or any similar pandemic incidences in the future.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical benefit of 2D contrast-enhanced T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (CE-T2 FLAIR) image for detecting leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) in the brain metastasis work-up for lung cancer. Materials and Methods: From June 2017 to July 2019, we collected all consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent brain magnetic resonance image (MRI), including contrast-enhanced 3D fast spin echo T1 black-blood image (CE-T1WI) and CE-T2 FLAIR; we recruited clinico-radiologically suspected LM cases. Two independent readers analyzed the images for LM in three sessions: CE-T1WI, CE-T2 FLAIR, and their combination. Results: We recruited 526 patients with suspected lung cancer who underwent brain MRI; of these, we excluded 77 (insufficient image protocol, unclear pathology, different contrast media, poor image quality). Of the 449 patients, 34 were clinico-radiologically suspected to have LM; among them, 23 were diagnosed with true LM. The calculated detection performance of CE-T1WI, CE-T2 FLAIR, and combined analysis obtained from the 34 suspected LM were highest in the combined analysis (AUC: 0.80, 0.82, and 0.89, respectively). The inter-observer agreement was also the highest in the combined analysis (0.68, 0.72, and 0.86, respectively). In quantitative analyses, CNR of CE-T2 FLAIR was significantly higher than that of CE-T1WI (Wilcoxon signed rank test, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Adding CE-T2 FLAIR might provide better detection for LM in the brain-metastasis screening for lung cancer.

In order to study the seismic response of the main plant of steel reinforced concrete (SRC) structure of the CAP1400 nuclear power plant under the influence of different high-mode vibration, the 1/7 model structure was manufactured and its dynamic characteristics was tested. Secondly, the finite element model of SRC frame-bent structure was established, the seismic response was analyzed by mode-superposition response spectrum method. Taking the combination result of the 500 vibration modes as the standard, the error of the base reactions, inter-story drift, bending moment and shear of different modes were calculated. Then, based on the results, the influence of high-mode vibration on the seismic response of the SRC frame-bent structure of the main plant was analyzed. The results show that when the 34 vibration modes were intercepted, the mass participation coefficient of the vertical and horizontal vibration mode was above 90%, which can meet the requirements of design code. There is a large error between the seismic response calculated by the 34 and 500 vibration modes, and the error decreases as the number of modes increases. When 60 modes were selected, the error can be reduced to about 1%. The error of the maximum bottom moment of the bottom column appeared in the position of the bent column. Finally, according to the characteristics of the seismic influence coefficient αj of each mode, the mode contribution coefficient γj•Xji was defined to reflect the contribution of each mode to the seismic action.

본 연구는 입원환자의 전자의무기록에서 용이하게 얻을 수 있는 지표들을 중심으로 초기영양평가를 신속하게 진행하기 위한 영양검색도구를 개발하고, 새로 개발한 영양검색도구에 대한 신뢰도을 검증하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 입원환자 903명을 대상으로, 의무기록 및 개별면담을 통해 자료를 수집하여 PGSGA를 기준으로 양호군과 영양불량군을 나누었다. 1) 로지스틱 회귀분석을 통해 양호군과 영양불량군으로 범주화하기 위한 최종 영양평가지표로 연령, BMI, 혈중 알부민, 혈중 콜레스테롤, 총단백질, 헤마토크리트, 체중변화, 섭취변화여부가 선정하였다. 특히 체중변화, 섭취변화여부의 경우는 예/아니오의 주관적 단답식 조사로 간단히 이루어졌다. 2) SMST의 영양평가결과 총 903명 중에서 양호군은 620명 (68.7%), 영양불량군은 283명 (31.3%)으로 나타났으며, 양호군과 영양불량군사이에 연령, 혈중 알부민, 총임파구수, BMI, 헤모글로빈, 헤마토크리트, 총단백질, 혈중 콜레스테롤, 재원기간 모두 유의적인 차이를 보였다. 3) SMST의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해서 PGSGA와 NRS2002와의 민감도, 특이도, 카파비를 통한 일치도를 분석하였다. SM-ST는 PGSGA와 민감도 94.4%, 특이도 88.4%, 카파비 0.747로 'Substantial agreement'하며 (p < 0.001), NRS2002와 민감도 96.1%, 특이도 79.5%, 카파비 0.505로 'Moderate agreement' (p < 0.001)로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발한 새로운 초기영양검색 도구인 SMST의 영양평가지표는 의무기록 및 단답형의 질문으로 이루어져, 신속하고 간단한 초기영양평가가 가능하다. 특히 기존에 개인면담을 통해 시간적, 인력적 요구가 높은 영양도구들에 비해, 입원당시 기본적 신체계측과 함께 단답형으로 이뤄진 체중변화 및 식이섭취변화 여부가 기록될 경우 추가될 경우 추가조사 없는 의무기록으로 평가가 가능하다. SMST는 PGSGA, NRS2002와 높은 일치도를 보여 기존에 타당도가 높다고 알려진 두 영양검색 도구와 도구간 신뢰도가 검증되었다. 하지만 SMST는 합병증의 유무, 사망률, 재입원률, 병원비용 등 환자의 예후와 관련한 연관성 및 보편적 대상자에서의 유용성은 검증되지 않았으므로, 이에 관한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

본 연구는 나팔나리(L. longiflorum) 'Gelria'(LG)와 자생 솔나리(L. cernuum, LC)와의 종간 교잡종을 육성할 목적으로 여러 가지 수분방법을 이용하여 수정 전 불화합성의 타파방법을 조사하였다. L. longiflorum 'Gelria'${\times}$L. cernuum의 교잡 수분 시 수분방법에 관계없이 모든 교배조합에서 착과가 이루어졌으며, 주두수분법에 비해 모든 화주절단수분법 처리구에서 착과율과 종자수가 높게 나타났다. 이들 중 화주를 2-3mm 남기고 자른 것과 화주를 모두 잘라버리고 자방기부에 수분시킨 처리구에서 각각 76.4%와 73.3%로 가장 높은 착과율을 나타내었다. 그러나 $LC{\times}LG$ 교잡에서는 전혀 착과되지 않았고 어떤 종자도 얻을 수 없었다. LG의 자가수분과 $LC{\times}LG$ 교잡에서는 속도에는 차이가 있었으나 수분 후 약 90시간 정도가 되면 자방까지 화분관이 신장하였다. 그러나$LC{\times}LG$ 교잡에서는 수분 후 90시간까지 자방에 도달하지 못하였고, 화주 중간에 선단이 비대되고 callose가 이상 집적된 기형적인 화분관이 많이 관찰되었다. 개화 후 수분시기도 착과율과 종자 형성률에 영향을 주었으며, 개화 후 3일에 수분하였을 때 가장 높은 종자수를 획득하였다. 주두 분비물질은 자방비대에는 영향을 미쳤으나, 수정배주수는 증가하지 않았다.
