In this paper, design and performance analysis of robust and inexpensive permanent magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance generators (PMa-SynRG) for tactical and commercial generator sets is studied. More specifically, the optimal design approach is investigated for minimizing volume and maximizing performance for the portable generator. In order to find optimized PMa-SynRG, stator winding configurations and rotor structures are analyzed using the lumped parameter model (LPM). After comparisons of stator windings and rotor structure by LPM, the selected stator winding and rotor structure are optimized using a differential evolution strategy (DES). Finally, output performances are verified by finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental tests. This design process is developed for the optimized design of PMa-SynRG to achieve minimum magnet and machine volume as well as maximum efficiency simultaneously.

Methane is one of the major greenhouse gases, recently, the biotechnological conversion from methane to high-value added chemicals have emerged as an effort to reduce methane gas emission. In this study, we optimized ectoine bio-milking conditions in which cells were repeatedly used to improve intracellular and extracellular ectoine yield from methane by using Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20ZDP2. First, the cultivation and intracellular ectoine accumulation conditions were optimized with respect to the growth phase and medium salinity to achieve the highest yield of synthesis. Second, ectoine excretion was optimized by determining the ectoine secretion time (15 min) in appropriate medium salinity under hypoosmotic conditions (1% NaCl). Finally, bio-milking of ectoine was successfully repeated more than 10 times using M. alcaliphilum 20ZDP2, and the ectoine yield was improved up to 129.29 mg/ DCW g.

This study aims to optimize the cochlea-inspired artificial filter bank (CAFB) using El-Centro seismic waveforms and test its performance through a shaking table test on a two-span bridge model. In the process of optimizing the CAFB, El-Centro seismic waveforms were used for the purpose of evaluating how they would affect the optimizing process. Next, the optimized CAFB was embedded in the developed wireless-based intelligent data acquisition (IDAQ) system to enable response measurement in real-time. For its performance evaluation to obtain a seismic response in real-time using the optimized CAFB, a two-span bridge (model structures) was installed in a large shaking table, and a seismic response experiment was carried out on it with El-Centro seismic waveforms. The CAFB optimized in this experiment was able to obtain the seismic response in real-time by compressing it using the embedded wireless-based IDAQ system while the obtained compressed signals were compared with the original signal (un-compressed signal). The results of the experiment showed that the compressed signals were superior to the raw signal in response performance, as well as in data compression effect. They also proved that the CAFB was able to compress response signals effectively in real-time even under seismic conditions. Therefore, this paper established that the CAFB optimized by being embedded in the wireless-based IDAQ system was an economical and efficient data compression sensing technology for measuring and monitoring the seismic response in real-time from structures based on the wireless sensor networks (WSNs).

알루미늄 재질의 도시철도차량 차체의 경량화를 위해 이중 판재구조로 이루어진 철도차량용 알루미늄 압출재의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 위상최적설계 기법을 이용하여 알루미늄 차체에서 가장 큰 중량을 차지하는 하부 프레임 베이스 플레이트의 경량화된 위상을 도출하였고, 이를 기반으로 압출재 부재별 치수 최적화를 수행하였다. 하부 프레임 다음으로 큰 중량을 차지하는 측면 프레임 압출재에 대해서는 치수 최적화를 통하여 경량설계를 수행하였다. 최적설계안과 현재 설계의 최대발생응력과 최대 변형량을 비교하여 최적설계결과의 타당성을 검증하였다. 이 과정을 통하여 언더프레임과 사이드프레임의 중량을 현재보다 평균 12% 줄일 수 있었고, 차체 전체로는 8.5%의 경량화 효과를 얻었다.

Purpose: As improving the search performance of aviation security equipment is considered essential, this study proposes the need for research on how to find an optimized test sequence that can reduce test time and operator power during the search function test of explosive detection systems. We derive the weights and work difficulty adjustment factor required to find the optimized test order. Methods: First, after setting the test factors, the time of each test and the difficulty scale determined by the worker who performed the test directly were used to derive weights. Second, the work difficulty adjustment coefficient was determined by combining the basic weight adjustment factor and corresponding to the body part used by the test using objective rating. Then the final standard time was derived by calculating the additional weights for the changeability of the test factors. Results: The order in which the final standard time is minimized when 50 tests are performed was defined as the optimized order. 50 tests should be conducted without duplication and the optimal order of tests was obtained when compared to previously numbered tests. As a result of minimizing the total standard time by using Excel's solver parameters, it was reduced by 379.14 seconds, about 6.32 minutes. Conclusion: We tried to express it in mathematical formulas to propose a method for setting an optimized test sequence even when testing is performed on other aviation security equipment. As a result, the optimal test order was derived from the operator's point of view, and it was demonstrated by minimizing the total standard time.

본 논문에서는 LDD 소자의 최적화의 물리적 의미를 수치 씨뮬레이션을 통해 다루었으며 관련 실험을 통하여 최적화된 LDD 구조를 해석해 보았다. 첫째, 수치해석에 의하면 최적화 조건시에 드레인 n-영역에서의 전계는 고르며 낮은 분포를 보이고 있고, 전류는 이 영역에서 넓게 퍼져 흘렀다. 아울러 이때 최적점은 모든 공정 및 전기조건을 고려하여 총체적으로 최적화하여 얻어져야함이 발견되었다. 둘째, 실험에 의하면 최적 조건의 경우 기판전류와 드레인 전류비에 의해 n-영역의 최대전계는 극소화되었다. 이때 소자의 수명은 최대가 되었으며 n-영역의 저항은 channel 저항에서 $n^+$ 접합 저항으로 유연하게 변환이 되었다.

영상개선을 위한 영상처리는 응용분야에 따라서 동일한 알고리즘이 각각 다르게 적용되므로 응용분야에 적합한 최적값이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 X선 의료영상분야에 고주파통과 필터를 적용해서 에지영역을 개선하였고, 결과영상에 상수승수와 오프셋을 더하여 에지영역 및 평탄영역의 컨트라스트를 향상시켰다. 그러므로, 의료영상을 최적화시키기 위해서는 고주파강조필터가 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 구체적인 최적화 변수값으로는 가우시안 고주파통과필터, 차단주파수의 거리=0.05, 오프셋=0.5 값이다. 마지막으로 이들 최적화 변수값을 적용시켜 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 제안된 방법이 기존 방법들에 비해서 영상의 컨트라스트와 에지부분들을 향상시켰다.

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.
