Artificial neural networks (ANNs) play an important role in the fields of function approximation, prediction, and classification. ANN performance is critically dependent on the input parameters, including the number of neurons in each layer, and the optimal values of weights and biases assigned to each neuron. In this study, we apply the particle swarm optimization method, a popular optimization algorithm for determining the optimal values of weights and biases for every neuron in different layers of the ANN. Several regression models, including general linear regression, Fourier regression, smoothing spline, and polynomial regression, are conducted to evaluate the proposed method's prediction power compared to multiple linear regression (MLR) methods. In addition, residual analysis is conducted to evaluate the optimized ANN accuracy for both training and test datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively determine optimal values for neuron weights and biases, and high accuracy results are obtained for prediction applications. Evaluations of the proposed method reveal that it can be used for prediction and estimation purposes, with a high accuracy ratio, and the designed model provides a reliable technique for optimization. The simulation results show that the optimized ANN exhibits superior performance to MLR for prediction purposes.

본 연구의 목적은 아동이 또래와 함께 과제를 풀어 나가는 과정에서, 상호작용하는 아동들의 객관적인 상대적 능력과 주관적인 상대적 능력을 고려하여 이들이 아동의 과제해결능력에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보고자 하는 것이었다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 대상 아동이 자신보다 우수하거나 열등한 아동과 상호작용을 경험하게 하며, 이들 상대방에 대해서 아동자신은 어떻게 평가하고 있는지, 또한 이러한 상대방의 능력에 대한 주관적 평가가 아동의 과제해결 능력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았으며, 마지막으로 이러한 관계가 상대방에 대한 친밀도와는 어떻게 관련지어 나타나는지를 살펴보았다. 6, 8, 10세의 아동을 대상으로 하여 서로에 대한 친밀도를 조사하였으며 상대방의 능력에 대해 어떻게 생각하고 있는지에 대한 주관적인 평가를 하게 했다. 또한 하노이탑 과제를 사용하여 사전 검사, 처리, 사후 검사 단계를 통해 아동의 과제 해결 능력을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 자신보다 더 우수한 짝과 함께 공동 과제 해결을 한 아동이 그렇지 않은 아동보다 사후검사에서 더 많은 향상력을 보여줄 것이라고 기대하였으나 이 가설은 기각되었고, 아동이 자신의 짝에 대하여 긍정적으로 생각할 때, 다시 말하면 자신보다 과제를 더 잘 풀어 나갈 것이라고 판단할 경우에만 과제 수행 능력이 향상되었다. 이러한 결과는 객관적으로 평가된 아동의 능력보다 아동 자신이 주관적으로 상대방의 능력에 대해 판단한 것이 더 의미있게 과제수행 능력에 영향을 미친다는 것을 보여준다.

There is a description that you cannot manage what you do not measure. The Korea Ministry of National Defense (MND) is conducting evaluations in various fields to obtain meaningful effects from IT investments, and views that the evaluation of the defense informatization sector is divided into defense informatization policy evaluation and defense informatization project evaluation. The defense informatization level evaluation can measure the informatization level of MND and the armed forces or organizations. Since the evaluation system being studied to measure the level of defense informatization is composed mainly of qualitative metrics, it is necessary to reconstruct it based on quantitative metrics that can guarantee objectivity. In addition, for managing the level of change by evaluation objects, the evaluation system should be designed with a focus on homeostasis of metrics so that it can be measured periodically. Moreover, metrics need to be promoted in terms of performance against targets. To this end, this study proposes to measure the level of defense informatization by dividing it into defense information network, computer systems, interoperability and standardization, information security, information environment, and information system use, and suggests their metrics.

Most engineering design problems require analyses or simulations to evaluate objective functions. However, a single simulation can take many hours or even days to finish for many real world problems. As a result, design optimization becomes impossible since they require hundreds or thousands of simulation evaluations. The surrogate-based optimization (SBO) strategy became a remedy for such computationally expensive analyses and simulations. A surrogate-based optimization strategy has been developed in this study in order to improve global optimization performance. The strategy is a heuristic algorithm and it exploits not only multiple surrogates, but also multiple optimizers. Multiple optimizations of multiple surrogate models yield multiple candidate design points of optima. During the sequential sampling process, the algorithm ranks candidate design points, selects the points as many as specified, and builds the improved surrogate model. Various mathematical functions with different numbers of design variables are chosen to compare the proposed method with the other most recent algorithm, MSEGO. The proposed method shows superior performance to the other method.

Fuzzy inference which combines numerical data and linguistic data has been used to design adaptive filter algorithms. In adaptive IIR filter design, the fuzzy prefilter is taken account, and applied to both direct and lattice structure. As for the fuzzy inference of the fuzzy filter, the Sugeno's method is employed. As membership functions and inference rules are recursively generated through neural network, the accuracy can be improved. The proposed adaptive algorithm, adaptive IIR filter with fuzzy prefilter, has been applied to adaptive system identification for the purposed of performance test. The evaluations have been carried out with viewpoints of convergence property and tracking properties of the parameter estimation. As a result, the faster convergence and the better coefficients tracking performance than those of the conventional algorithm are shown in case of direct structures.

Oil retention experiments were conducted and the performance was characterized for electrochemically etched stainless steels. The 304 stainless steels were electrochemically etched in dilute Aqua Regia to form porous structures. The structures were also hierarchical, which provides very large area for oils to adhere. Also the structures had deep valleys, which act as reservoir and are able to resist against oil-detaching forces. Several commercial oils were dispensed to characterize oil retention properties via rotating disk experiment method. The results showed that the etched surfaces have superior oil retention performance in every conditions. Also the retention enhancement ratio went particularly higher as the environments became more severe. This surface modification technique could be applied to other steel products for pretreatments of various kinds of coatings.

This work performed to analyses the impact of hooked end steel fibres on the mechanical properties of high performance concrete. The mechanical properties considered incorporate compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. Taking in to thought parameters, such as, volume fraction of fibres, fibre aspect ratio and grade of concrete, a logical strategy called Taguchi technique was utilized to discover the ideal blend of factors. L9 Orthogonal Array (OA) of Taguchi network comprising of three variables and three dimensions is utilized in this work. The evaluations of concrete considered were M60, M80 and M100. M60 contained 15% of metakaolin as bond swap though for M80 it was 5% of metakaolin and for M100 it was 10% metakaolin and 10% of silica smolder. The volume portion of fiber was fluctuated by 0.5%; 1% and 1.5% and the viewpoints proportions considered were 50, 60 and 80. The test outcomes demonstrate that incorporation of steel fibres enhance significantly the the strength characteristics of concrete, predominantly the splitting tensile strength and flexural strength. In light of relapse investigation of the test information scientific models were produced for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the steel fibre-reinforced high performance concrete.
