This paper presents an Enhanced Particle Swarm Optimization (EPSO) to solve short-term hydrothermal scheduling (STHS) problem with non-convex fuel cost function and a variety of operational constraints related to hydro and thermal units. The operators of the conventional PSO are dynamically controlled using exponential functions for better exploration and exploitation of the search space. The overall methodology efficiently regulates the velocity of particles during their flight and results in substantial improvement in the conventional PSO. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been tested for STHS of two standard test generating systems while considering several operational constraints like system power balance constraints, power generation limit constraints, reservoir storage volume limit constraints, water discharge rate limit constraints, water dynamic balance constraints, initial and end reservoir storage volume limit constraints, valve-point loading effect, etc. The application results show that the proposed EPSO method is capable to solve the hard combinatorial constraint optimization problems very efficiently.

Vibration, buckling and dynamic stability of a cantilever rectangular plate subjected to an in-plane sinusoidally varying load applied along the free end are analyzed. The thin plate small deflection theory is used. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed to solve vibration and buckling of the plate. The dynamic stability problem is solved by using the Hamilton principle to drive time variables. The resulting time variables are solved by the harmonic balance method. Buckling properties and natural frequencies of the plate are shown at first. Unstable regions are presented for various loading conditions. Simple parametric resonances and combination resonances with sum type are obtained for various loading conditions, static load and damping.

In this paper, a load balancing problem among operators is considered, when one or more identical machines can be assigned to an operator. The operations of a job are separated into three categories : machine-controlled elements, operator-controlled elements and machine/operator-controlled elements. Machining or forming operations are included into the first category. The second category includes inspection and moving to another machine, and the last category includes setup and loading/unloading operation. The objective is to balance the workloads among operators under the constraints of available machine-time and operator-time. A hierarchical heuristic solution procedure is suggested for allocating jobs to each machine and allocating machines to each operator. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated with various data set.

To provide the basic information for the water quality management of the Sumjin River Basin, delivery ratios for flow duration were studied. Using the day-interval data set of discharge and water quality observed from the Chooryeong-cheon watershed, the flow-duration and discharge-load relation curves for the watershed were established, then the load-duration curve was constructed. Delivery ratios for flow duration were also developed. Delivery ratios showed wide variation according to flow conditions. In general, delivery ratio of high flow condition showed higher value reflecting nonpoint source pollution contribution from the forest dominating watershed. To resolve this problem, a regression model explaining the relation between flow rate and delivery ratio was suggested. The delivery ratios for different flow regime could be used for pollutant load estimation and TMDL (Total maximum daily load) development.

The posterior and multidirectional instability of the shoulder is a complex problem in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Increased joint volume by redundant capsular ligament has been regarded as a major pathogenesis of the posterior and multidirectional instability. Distinct from multidirectional hyperlaxity, multidirectional instability has symptoms related with increased translations in more than one direction. Recent report that shoulder symptom originates from labral lesion which was created by excessive rim-loading of the humeral head on the posteroinferior glenoid labrum during repetitive subluxation helps us to understand the pathogenesis of such instability. Painful jerk and Kim tests indicate labral lesion in the multidirectionally loose shoulder, suggesting multidirectional instability. Also, painful jerk test is a prognostic sign of failure of nonoperative treatment. The labral lesion can be an incomplete tear or a concealed lesion which often has been underestimated. Operative treatment is indicated when nonoperative treatment has failed. Arthroscopic capsulolabroplasty is a reliable procedure, which not only provides capsular balance, but also restores the labral height.

최근 농경지 투입양분으로 인한 환경영향의 우려와 함께 하천 등으로 유출되는 양분의 오염부하 관리가 요구되고 있다. 이에 정부는 국내 농지의 양분 과잉 투입 문제를 해결하기 위해 농경지의 양분관리 목표를 설정하여 관리하는 양분관리제도의 도입을 추진하고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 합리적인 양분관리제도 도입을 위한 양분관리 지표 기준을 설정하고자 도 단위의 양분부하와 양분수지 지표를 분석하고 지표별 특성을 비교 검토하였다. 도 단위 질소와 인성분의 양분부하와 양분수지 분석에서 지역별 양분부하 순위와 양분수지 순위가 다르게 나타나, 지역의 양분수준을 평가하는데 있어 양분부하와 양분수지의 두 지표는 서로 상이한 지표 값을 도출하는 것으로 나타났다. 양분부하와 양분수지 간의 상관관계 분석에서 질소성분의 경우 상관관계 계수(r)는 0.2504로서 5% 유의수준에서 통계적 유의성이 없었으며, 인성분의 경우 상관관계 계수(r)가 0.7375로서 5% 유의수준에서 통계적 유의성이 인정되었다. 따라서 양분관리 지표활용에 있어 인성분의 경우 양분부하와 양분수지 간의 상호 호환성이 나타났으나, 질소 성분의 경우 양분부하와 양분수지 간의 상호 호환성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 지역의 양분관리 지표로서 농업환경 특성을 반영하는 양분수지 지표의 활용이 합리적인 것으로 평가되었다.

This investigation deals with a size-dependent coupled thermoelasticity analysis based on Green-Naghdi (GN) theory in nano scale using a new modified nonlocal model of heat conduction, which is based on the GN theory and nonlocal Eringen theory of elasticity. In the analysis based on the proposed model, the nonlocality is taken into account in both heat conduction and elasticity. The governing equations including the equations of motion and the energy balance equation are derived using the proposed model in a nano beam resonator. An analytical solution is proposed for the problem using the Laplace transform technique and Talbot technique for inversion to time domain. It is assumed that the nano beam is subjected to sinusoidal thermal shock loading, which is applied on the one of beam ends. The transient behaviors of fields' quantities such as lateral deflection and temperature are studied in detail. Also, the effects of small scale parameter on the dynamic behaviors of lateral deflection and temperature are obtained and assessed for the problem. The proposed GN-based model, analytical solution and data are verified and also compared with reported data obtained from GN coupled thermoelasticity analysis without considering the nonlocality in heat conduction in a nano beam.

Electrical power distribution systems are critical links between the utility and customer. In general, power distribution systems have unbalanced feeders due to the unbalanced loading. The devices that dependent on balanced three phase supply are affected by the unbalanced feeders. This necessitates the balancing of feeders. The main objective of reconfiguration is to balance the loads among the phases subject to constraints such as load flow equations, capacity and voltage constraints and to reduce the real power loss, while subject to a radial network structure in which all loads must be energized. Therefore, the distribution system reconfiguration problem has been viewed as multi-objective problem. In this paper, the hybrid heuristic algorithm has been used for reconfiguration, which is the combination of fuzzy and greedy algorithms. The purpose of the introduction of greedy is to refrain the searching for the period of phase balancing. The incorporation of fuzzy helps to take up more objectives amid phase balancing in the searching. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through modified IEEE 33 bus and modified IEEE 125 bus radial distribution system.

Aerial base stations (ABSs) seem promising to enhance the coverage and capacity of fifth-generation and upcoming networks. With the flexible mobility of ABSs, they can be positioned in air to maximize the number of users served with a guaranteed quality of service (QoS). However, ABSs may be overloaded or underutilized given inefficient placement, and user association has not been well addressed. Hence, we propose a three-dimensional ABS placement scheme with a delay-QoS-driven user association to balance loading among ABSs. First, a load balancing utility function is designed based on proportional fairness. Then, an optimization problem for joint ABS placement and user association is formulated to maximize the utility function subject to statistical delay QoS requirements and ABS collision avoidance constraints. To solve this problem, we introduce an efficient modified gray wolf optimizer for ABS placement with a greedy user association strategy. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms baselines in terms of load balancing and delay QoS provisioning.

오늘날 환경 산업의 발달과 함께 수정진동형 기압계 같은 정밀한 기압계가 개발됨에 따라 이를 교정하기 위한 보다 우수한 압력표준기가 필요하게 되었다. 수은압력계는 압력변화에 따른 수은의 높이차를 측정하여 압력을 계산하는 압력표준장비로 지금까지 많이 사용되어 왔으나 정밀 기압 측정의 경우 수은의 높이 측정을 초음파나 레이져를 사용해야 하므로 측정시스템이 복잡해지고 수은의 맹독성으로 인해 그 사용이 제한적이다. 그 대신 기체식 압력저울을 이용한 정밀한 기압계 교정이 오늘날 많이 시도되고 있으나 압력저울은 교정 시 피스톤 주위 공간을 진공으로 만들어 측정해야 하므로 진공중의 분동 교환이 사용의 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 진공을 깨지 않고도 효율적으로 분동을 교환할 수 있는 장치를 고안, 제작하였다. 본 장치를 이용하면 교정 시 측정시간의 단축과 함께 잦은 대기 노출로 인한 피스톤, 실린더, 분동의 오염과 피스톤과 실린더 간격 사이의 불순물 삽입으로 인한 압력표준기 성능저하를 예방할 수 있다. 아울러 이 장치로 실제 상용되고 있는 초정밀 기압계의 특성 검사를 수행하여 그 실험 결과를 기술하였다.
