In this study, parameters of long and short term runoff model were optimized using genetic algorithm as a basic research for integrated water management in a watershed. In case of Korea where drought and flood occurr frequently, the integrated water management is necessary to minimize possible damage of drought and flood. Modified TANK model was optimized as a long term runoff model and storage-function model was optimized as a short term runoff model. Besides distinguished parameters were applied to modified TANK model for supplementing defect that the model estimates less runoff in the storm period. As a result of application, simulated long and short term runoff results showed 7% and 5% improvement compared with before optimized on the average. In case of modified TANK model using distinguished parameters, the simulated runoff after optimized showed more interrelationship than before optimized. Therefore, modified TANK model can be applied for the long term water balance as an integrated water management in a watershed. In case of storage-function model, simulated runoff in the storm period showed high interrelationship with observed one. These optimized models can be applied for the runoff analysis of watershed.

One hundred ninety-five countries reached agreement on a new climate treaty in Paris, France to reduce the carbon emissions. South Korea has been selected as a target country for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) obligations since 2020. In this context, the Korean government developed several GHG emissions reduction programs using forests called the "Forest carbon offset scheme (FCOS)." The forest management method is one of the tools to implement FCOS. Most of the participants registered forest management as the preferred methodology to participate in the FCOS. For a successful implementation of the FCOS, it is necessary to explore the optimal methods by considering the cost-effective aspect of conducting the forest management as a tool to increase carbon absorption. In this context, this study investigated the value optimized FCOS projects based on the forest management methodology in South Korea. Three forest management scenarios, 1) extending the final age of maturity of Pinus densiflora stands (S1), 2) extending the final age of maturity of Quercus acutissima stands (S2), and 3) reforestation with new species (Pinus densiflora to Quercus acutissima) (S3), were examined and evaluated to identify the optimal carbon absorption and value optimized economic perspective. The results of the scenario-based modelling indicated that S3 showed value optimized from an economical perspective, and S2 was the most effective method to absorb carbon among the scenarios. It is anticipated that this paper will contribute to provide valuable information by presenting innovative approaches as a value optimized FCOS implementing tool in a GHG reduction program in South Korea.

The fourth industrial revolution encourages manufacturing industry to pursue a new paradigm shift to meet customers' diverse demands by managing the production process efficiently. However, it is not easy to manage efficiently a variety of tasks of all the processes including materials management, production management, process control, sales management, and inventory management. Especially, to set up an efficient production schedule and maintain appropriate inventory is crucial for tailored response to customers' needs. This paper deals with the optimized inventory policy in a steel company that produces granule products under supply contracts of three targeted on-time delivery rates. For efficient inventory management, products are classified into three groups A, B and C, and three differentiated production cycles and safety factors are assumed for the targeted on-time delivery rates of the groups. To derive the optimized inventory policy, we experimented eight cases of combined safety stock and data analysis methods in terms of key performance metrics such as mean inventory level and sold-out rate. Through simulation experiments based on real data we find that the proposed optimized inventory policy reduces inventory level by about 9%, and increases surplus production capacity rate, which is usually used for the production of products in Group C, from 43.4% to 46.3%, compared with the existing inventory policy.

Many port states, such as New Zealand, U.S.A., Australia, and Canada, have strict regulations to prevent arriving ships from discharging polluted ballast water that contains harmful aquatic organisms and pathogens. They are notified that transfer of polluted ballast water can cause serious injury to public health and damage to property and environment. For this reason, ballast exchange in deep sea is perceived as the most effective method of emptying ballast water. The ballast management plan contains the effective exchange method, ballast system, and safety considerations. In this study, we pursued both nautical engineering analysis and optimization of the algorithm, in order to generate the sequence of stability and rapidity. A heuristic algorithm was chosen on the basis of optimality and applicability to a sequential exchange problem. We have built an optimized algorithm for the automatic exchange of ballast water, by redefining core elements of the A$\ast$ algorithm, such as node, operator, and evaluation function. The final version of the optimized algorithm has been applied to existing bulk carrier, and the performance of the algorithm has been successfully verified.

A construction workspace is considered as a critical factor to secure constructability and safety of a project. Specially, optimized size of each workspace helps to minimize any conflicts between workspaces, works and resources within a workspace in the construction site. However, since an existing method for making a decision workspace's size depends on generally experiences of managers and work conditions of activity, it is difficult to perform safe works considering feasible workspace size. The workspace size is changed according to the quantity of resources allocated into each activity as time progresses. Accordingly, it is desirable that optimized workspace size considering input size of resources is determined. To solve these issues, this study configures an optimized model for deciding standard size of workspaces by simple regression analysis and develops a visualized scenario model for simulating the optimized workspace shape in order to support BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment. For this, this study determines an optimized resource shape size considering maximum working radius of each resource and constructs its visual model. Subsequently, input size of resources for each activity is estimated considering safety execution area of resources and workspaces. Based on this, an optimized 3D workspace shape is generated as a VR simulation model of a BIM system based on the suggested methodologies. Moreover, operational feasibility of the developed system is evaluated through a case study for a bride project. Therefore, this study provides a visualized framework so that project managers can establish an efficient workspace planning in BIM environment. Besides, it is expected that constructability, productivity and safety of the project will be improved by minimizing conflicts between workspace and congestions between resources within a workspace in the construction phase.

Various core designs with multi-batch fuel management (FM) are proposed and optimized for an innovative small modular reactor (iSMR), focusing on enhancing the inherent safety and neutronic performance. To achieve soluble-boron-free (SBF) operation, cylindrical centrally-shielded burnable absorbers (CSBAs) are utilized, reducing the burnup reactivity swing in both two- and three-batch FMs. All 69 fuel assemblies (FAs) are loaded with 2-cylindrical CSBA. Furthermore, the neutron economy is improved by deploying a truly-optimized PWR (TOP) lattice with a smaller fuel radius, optimized for neutron moderation under the SBF condition. The fuel shuffling and CSBA loading patterns are proposed for both 2- and 3-batch FM with the aim to lower the core leakage and achieve favorable power profiles. Numerical results show that both FM configurations achieve a small reactivity swing of about 1000 pcm and the power distributions are within the design criteria. The average discharge burnup in the two-batch core is comparable to three-batch commercial PWR like APR-1400. The proposed checker-board CR pattern with extended fingers effectively assures cold shutdown in the two-batch FM scenario, while in the three-batch FM, three N-1 scenarios are failed. The whole evaluation process is conducted using Monte Carlo Serpent 2 code in conjunction with ENDF/B-VII.1 nuclear library.
