This paper presents a method for feeder reconfiguration in order to operate distribution systems efficiently using heuristic rules. The reconfiguration method presented here not only eliminates various abnormal states but also achieves minimum power loss and optimum load balance of the distribution feeders under normal operating condition transfering loads from one feeder to anoter applying the experiences of the experts. To implement the method effectively, a best-first tree searching strategy based on heuristics is used to evaluate the various load transfer alternatives. The development of a rule-based system aimed at the reduction of the search space is presented as a means of implementing the best-first searching strategy. The results of the computer simulation of the above procedure are as follows; 1) achieving minimum power loss of the distribution feeder adopting the optimum load transfer alternative. 2) Enhencing system reliability and achieving load balance through rational allocation of the feeder loads.

Generally, H.V.A.C load capacity in early planning phase can presume with maximum thermal load. Basic data can prove by air conditioning equipment system data analysis at existing building. There are poor and not reliable alternative presentation. In this paper, measured data after use H.V.A.C load calculation K-load program reply choosing standard building and variables simulation. And I founded peak load correlation graph and mode for several kinds of variable and contents of size. I wish that equipment designer is beaconed to produce optimum capacity at building as quantitative through this result.

Route selecting of the road is a basic and important process. But the route selecting process must consider the technical, traffic and environment factor simultaneously. The optimum route that are able to reduce the construction cost, maximize utility value and investigate several alternative route must be selected. This study presents a reasonable plan for route selecting through subjective evaluation and classify the methods linked GIS from basic design of road construction.

In order to utilize unsorted ONP, which contains leaflets (printed coated papers), as a raw material to produce pulp mold, optimum conditions for repulping were investigated with the pilot Helico pulper at Centre Technique du Paper (CTP), France. Two major process factors were focused: repulping concentration and rotor speed. Repulping at a higher concentration showed more rapid defibering kinetics. Increasing the rotational speed of rotor at the optimum repulping concentration accelerated the defibering kinetics while it also led to higher fines generation and faster decrease in drainage property of the produced pulp. Hence, an alternative way was suggested: starting repulping at a conventional rotor speed and then accelerating the rotor speed for the last minute(s) of repulping.

Recently, the laser processing method has used as micro-machining technologies in industries of aerospace, electronics and automotive. The laser processing newly focused could be alternative to existing machining method. However, there are few practical results of research about the proper setting of the laser machining conditions and the laser machining characteristics for mechanical materials. The purposes of this study was to choose optimum machining conditions and to estimate the laser machining characteristics using taguchi experimental method for various mechanical materials that is S45C, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Copper, Titanium and Tungsten carbide. From obtained results, it was confirmed that optimum machining conditions could be found and laser machinability depends on thermal conductivity and hardness of workpiece.

To know and apply the factors affecting calf's gender may increase our competitiveness of Hanwoo industry. Thus, this study was carried out to analyse the effect of expected factors on calf's gender and to make an alternative idea for desired calf's gender. Gender of calves born by AI was not affected by AI year and cow parity, but significantly affected by sire and farm. Therefore, to obtain calves' gender that we want, both selecting optimum sire for AI and providing optimum feeding environment for cow should be required.

The objective of this study is to develop an integrated process planning system which can flexibly cope with the status changes in a shop floor by utilizing the concept of Non-Linear and Closed-Loop Process Planning(NCPP). In this paper, Genetic Algorithm(GA) is employed in order to quickly generate feasible setup sequences for minimizing the makespan and tardiness under an NCPP. The genetic algorithm developed in this study for getting the machine load utilizes differentiated mutation rate and method in order to increase the chance to avoid a local optimum and to reach a global optimum. Also, it adopts a double gene structure for the sake of convenient modeling of the shop floor. The last step in this system is a simulation process which selects a proper process plan among alternative process plans.

In this paper, we suggest an Iris recognition system with an excellent recognition rate and confidence as an alternative biometric recognition technique that solves the limit in an existing individual discrimination. For its implementation, we extracted coefficients feature values with the wavelet transformation mainly used in the signal processing, and we used neural network to see a recognition rate. However, Scale Conjugate Gradient of nonlinear optimum method mainly used in neural network is not suitable to solve the optimum problem for its slow velocity of convergence. So we intended to enhance the recognition rate by using Levenberg-Marquardt Back-propagation which supplements existing Scale Conjugate Gradient for an implementation of the iris recognition system. We improved convergence velocity, efficiency, and stability by changing properly the size according to both convergence rate of solution and variation rate of variable vector with the implementation of an applied algorithm.

Optimum packing of aggregate is an important aspect of mixture design, since porosity may be reduced and strength improved. It may also cause a reduction in paste content and is thus of economic relevance too. Several mathematic packing models have been developed in the literature for optimization of mixture design. However in this study, numerical simulation will be used as the main tool for this purpose. A basic, simple theoretical model is used for approximate assessment of mixture optimization. Calculation and simulation will start from a bimodal mixture that is based on the mono-sized packing experiences. Tri-modal and multi-sized particle packing will then be discussed to find the optimum mixture. This study will demonstrate that computer simulation is a good alternative for mixture design and optimization when appropriate particle shapes are selected. Although primarily focusing on aggregate, optimization of blends of Portland cement and mineral admixtures could basically be approached in a similar way.
