The important problems from the point of view of preventing global warming are to save the power consumption of automotive air-conditioning systems and reduce the refrigerant amount filled. To achieve such requirements, integral receiver/dryer (R/D) condensers were developed recently. Typical integral R/D condensers have extra headers that play the role of R/D. Except an extra header and somewhat complex tube array resulting from the extra header, the most integral R/D condensers have almost the same specification that tube has multi channels, fin has louvers, flow in tube is parallel, etc. When integral condensers are applied, it is known that the refrigerating effect increases, resulting from the increase of subcooling degree in condenser, and the refrigerant amount used saves. In spite of several merits, integral condensers have not been applied a lot. That is why there is an uncertainty in performance, using integral condensers. The objective of this study is to theoretically optimize the tube array in an integral R/D condenser that is really being applied to some vehicles. The tube array has a great effect on the performance of the integral condenser as well as common ones. Through computer simulation, we could see that the tube array, 14-6-3-5-3-4, in the same condenser was the best, comparing heat release rate, pressure drop, etc. to the real array, 17-5-3-3-2-5. It should be noted that the optimization is based on the condenser performance only.

When designing a ship, ergonomic considerations are crucial when minimizing a navigator's fatigue due to the burden of work, and to appropriately operate the navigational equipment for each given situation by helping the operator to understand the surroundings as well as the physical functions of the ship. However, insufficient consideration of ergonomic elements in the actual design of ship Bridges is lowering the performance of safe navigation and allows for the possibility of operation or readout errors. Consequently, these errors lead to an increase in maritime accidents. Therefore, this study conducted a usability evaluation on the importance of and the usage frequency of navigational equipment, their influence on actual navigation, and the possibility of error upon operation or readout between training ship officers, to derive an optimized layout that includes the consideration of ergonomic factors for on-Bridge navigational equipment, which are currently arranged differently according to their type or size. The optimized layout of on-Bridge navigational equipment was carried out based on the evaluation results, using the Lingo program. Through the process of optimization, revised layouts of on-Bridge navigational equipments(control and display device) were suggested, considering emergency situations(ship collision, stranding, fire and explosion, sinking, etc.) during navigation.

본 논문에서는 양자난수발생기 Quantis의 후처리 과정에 대하여 암호학의 관점에서 실험을 통하여 안전성과 성능을 분석하였다. Quantis의 후처리 과정은 수학적 이론에 근거한 이진행렬-벡터 곱 연산을 통해 풀엔트로피(full-entropy)를 출력하도록 설계되었고, NIST SP 800-90B의 최소엔트로피(min-entropy) 추정 테스트를 이용하여 이를 검증하였다. 이진행렬-벡터 곱 연산에 최적화 기법을 사용함으로써 난수 생성 속도에 미치는 영향을 최소화하였음을 확인하고, NIST SP 800-90B에서 제시한 검증된 Conditioning과의 난수 출력 성능을 비교하였다. 또한, 미국 NIST와 독일 BSI의 난수발생기 표준 모델과 Quantis의 부합되는 요소와 아닌 요소를 구분하였다. Quantis를 암호학의 용도로 사용하고자할 경우, CMVP 기준에 적합하게 이용하기 위해 Quantis의 출력 데이터를 승인된 의사 난수발생기의 씨드로 사용하여 출력한 난수를 사용하는 것이 적절하다고 판단된다.

Activated sludge processes are widely used in biological wastewater treatment processes. The main motivation of this research is to develop an intelligent control strategy for activated sludge process (ASP). ASP is a complex and nonlinear dynamic system because of the characteristic of wastewater, the change in influent rate, weather conditions, and so on. The mathematical model of ASP also includes uncertainties which are ignored or not considered by process engineer or controller designer. The ASP model based on Matlab/Simulink is designed in this paper. The performance of the model is tested by IWA (International Water Association) and COST (European Cooperation in the filed of Scientific and Technical Research) data that include steady-state results during 14 days. In this paper, fuzzy logic control approach is applied to control the DO (dissolved oxygen) concentration. The fuzzy logic controller that includes two inputs and one output can adjust air flowrate. Also, this paper introduces the remote monitoring and control system that is applied for the CSTR (Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor) wastewater treatment system. The CSTR plant has a local control and the remote monitoring system which is contained communication parts which consist of LAN (Local Area Network) network and CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) wireless module. Remote control and monitoring systems are constructed in the laboratory.

Naturally immobilized tannase (tannin acyl hydrolase, E.C. 3.1.1.20) has many advantages, as it avoids the expensive and laborious operation of isolation, purification, and immobilization, plus it is highly stable in adverse pH and temperature. However, in the case of cell-associated enzymes, since the enzyme is associated with the biomass, separation of the pure biomass is necessary. However, tannic acid, a known inducer of tannase, forms insoluble complexes with media proteins, making it difficult to separate pure biomass. Therefore, this study optimizes the production of cell-associated tannase using a "protein-tannin complex" free media. An exploratory study was first conducted in shake-flasks to select the inducer, carbon source, and nitrogen sources. As a result it was found that gallic acid induces tannase synthesis, a tryptose broth gives higher biomass, and lactose supplementation is beneficial. The medium was then optimized using response surface methodology based on the full factorial central composite design in a 3 l bioreactor. A $2^3$ factorial design augmented by 7 axial points (${\alpha}$ = 1.682) and 2 replicates at the center point was implemented in 17 experiments. A mathematical model was also developed to show the effect of each medium component and their interactions on the production of cell-associated tannase. The validity of the proposed model was verified, and the optimized medium was shown to produce maximum cell-associated tannase activity of 9.65 U/l, which is 93.8% higher than the activity in the basal medium, after 12 h at pH 5.0, $30^{\circ}C$. The optimum medium consists of 38 g/l lactose, 50 g/l tryptose, and 2.8 g/l gallic acid.

A method was proposed which employed control of the drop location of fertilizer particles on a spinner disc to optimize the spread pattern uniformity. The system contained an optical sensor as a feedback mechanism, which measured discharge velocity and location, as well as particle diameters to predict a spread pattern of a single disc. Simulations showed that the feed gate adaptation algorithm produced high quality patterns for any given application rate in the dual disc spreader. The performance of the feed gate control method was assessed using data collected from a Sulky spinner disc spreader. The results showed that it was always possible to find a spread pattern with an acceptable CV lower than 15%, even though the spread pattern was obtained from a rudimentary flat disc with straight radial vanes. A mathematical optimization method was used to find the initial parameter settings for a specially designed experimental spreading arrangement, which included the feed gate control system, for a given flow rate and swath width. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the relationship between the gate opening and flow rate, disc speed and particle velocity, as well as disc speed and predicted landing location of fertilizer particles. All relationships found were highly linear ($r^2$ > 0.96), which showed that the time-of-flight sensor was well suited as a feedback sensor in the rate and uniformity controlled spreading system.

천연가스는 장거리 수송을 위해서는 액화가 필수적으로 이루어진다. 액화공정 내 압축기에서 특히 많은 동력이 요구되며, 동력을 공급하기 위해서는 동력기가 필요하다. 여러 가지 동력기 중 어떠한 동력기를 선택하느냐에 따라 동력 공급에 필요한 비용이 변하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 최소의 비용으로 천연가스 액화공정에 동력을 공급하는 최적의 동력기 선택을 위해 최적화를 수행하였다. 또한 가스전의 용량을 고려하여 일정한 가스전에서 천연가스가 추출부터 소멸될 때까지의 전체기간 동안에 추출되는 속도가 변경되는 시나리오를 구성하였다. 공정모사를 통해 동력기 장치의 비용과 운전비용 간의 상관관계를 예측하였으며, 장치의 수명 등을 고려하여 모델링하였다. 그 결과 최대 6.4%의 비용을 감소하는 최적의 동력기 모델을 설계하였다.

장차전은 첨단화된 무기체계와 최근의 전쟁양상을 고려해 볼 때 화력전의 성공여부가 전쟁의 결정적인 영향을 초래하게 될 것이다. 하지만 현재 한국군 포병전력은 수적으로 북한군에 비해 열세이며, 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 신속/정확한 사격으로 적에게 치명적인 피해를 줄 것이 요구된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 다수 표적을 수리적 모델을 이용하여 사격순서를 정하여 사격종료시간을 최소화함으로써 작전 운영의 융통성을 부여해 줄 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한 야전포병부대에서 화력계획 작성시 고려할 수 있는 지휘관의 의도, 일부 포병부대의 예상되는 사격제한(진지변환, 사거리 한계),우선순위 표적(핵심, 고가치), 화력계획의 차후 변경 등 각종 실질적 상황을 고려하여 최대한 빠른 시간에 사격을 마칠 수 있도록 하였다. 이와 같은 사격순서 결정문제를 혼합정수 계획모형(MIP: Mixed Integer Programming)으로 구성하였고 분석 수단으로 ILOG OPL을 이용하여 최적해를 구하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모형을 야전포병부대에서 활용한다면, 작전운용간 좀더 효과적이고 신속한 사격이 되어 전투력 향상에 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Optimization of process variables such as arc current, welding voltage and welding speed in terms of the weld characteristics desired is the key step in achieving high quality and improving performance characteristics without increasing the cost. Consequently, incorrect settings of those process variables give rise to deviations in the welding characteristics from the desired bead geometry. Therefore, trainee welders are referred to the tabulated information relating different metal types and thickness as to recommend the desired values of process variables. Basically, the bead geometry plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties of the weld. So that it is very important to select the process variables for obtaining optimal bead geometry. However, it is difficult for the traditional identification methods to provide an accurate model because the optimized welding process is non-linear and time-dependent. In this paper, the possibilities of the Infra-red sensor in sensing and control of the bead geometry in the automated welding process are presented. Infra-red sensor is a well-known method to deal with the problems with a high degree of fuzziness so that the sensor is employed to build the relationship between process variables and the quality characteristic the proposed above respectively. Based on several neural networks, the mathematical models are derived from extensive experiments with different welding parameters and complex geometrical features. The developed system enables to select the optimal welding parameters and control the desired weld dimensions during arc welding process.

노년층뿐만 아니라 청년층에 속하는 성인들 사이에서도 병원 외 심장정지(OHCA)를 겪는 심장질환자의 수가 증가하고 있다. 자동심장충격기(AED)는 병원 외 심장정지 환자의 생존율을 개선하는 데 있어 긴요하다. 심장정지 생존율은 제세동 시간에 대하여 지수적으로 감소(decline exponentially)하는 것으로 밝혀졌으나, 자동심장충격기의 최적 배치에 있어 심장정지 생존율의 이러한 특성을 반영한 국내 연구가 미미한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 자동심장충격기의 최적 입지를 결정하기 위하여 exponential decay coverage 함수를 갖는 최대 gradual coverage 입지 모델에 대하여 고찰하였다. exponential decay coverage 함수는 심장정지 환자의 생존율에 대한 과다추정을 완화한다. 향후 시뮬레이션을 통하여 랜덤한 행인 위치 및 이동을 반영함으로써 행인의 심정지 대응에 있어 창발적인(emergent) 특징을 식별할 수 있는 시설 입지 모델이 개발될 것으로 예측된다.
