In this paper, we propose a sequence mining based manufacturing process using a decision model in cognitive factory. The proposed model is a method to increase the production efficiency by applying the sequence mining decision model in a small scale production process. The data appearing in the production process is composed of the input variables. And the output variable is composed the production rate and the defect rate per hour. We use the GSP algorithm and the REPTree algorithm to generate rules and models using the variables with high significance level through t-test. As a result, the defect rate are improved by 0.38% and the average hourly production rate was increased by 1.89. This has a meaning results for improving the production efficiency through data mining analysis in the small scale production of the cognitive factory.

For optimal production of L-tryptophan using a regulatory mutant of Escherichia coli the relationship between product formation and acid production was investigated. Experimental results showed that the production level of L-tryptophan was lowered as the specific acid production rate increased. In order to reduce the amount of acid produced during the fermentation, a controlled fed-batch fermentation was employed. In this fed-batch process, the feed rate of the nutrient feed medium was controlled in relation to the oxygen level in the culture and thus the growth of the cells was regulated in such n way that the oxygen demand of the culture could not exceed the oxygen sup-ply. When E. coli cells were cultivated in a controlled fed-batch mode of tormentor operation, the specific acid production rate was significantly reduced and L-tryptophan production was increased as much as five times that obtained in a conventional fed-batch fermentation.

Characteristics of premixed flames in counter-flow system are numerically studied using a detailed chemical reaction mechanism including gas phase radiation. Without radiation effect accounted, low CO and high NO$_{x}$ emission indices are observed, when strain rate decreases, due to increased residence time and higher flame temperature. Higher NO$_{2}$ production has been also observed when two premixed flames are interacting or cold air stream is mixed with burned gas. The rate of NO$_{x}$ production and destruction is dependent upon the diffusional strength of H and OH radicals, the existence of NO and the concentration of HO$_{2}$. For radiating flames, the peak temperature and NO$_{x}$ production rate decreases as the strain rate decreases. At high strain rate, it is found that the effect of radiation on flame is little due to its negligible radiating volume. It is also found that NO$_{x}$ production from the interacting premixed flame is reduced due to reduced temperature resulting from radiation heat loss. It is concluded that the radiation from gas has significant effect of flame structure and on emission characteristics.ristics.

The enzyme expressed from strain L-49 was 2.01 times higher than that of original strain. Strain L-49 can grow on culture plate with $50{\mu}g/mL$ ampicillin. The synthesis of $\alpha$-amylase was greatly suppressed when strain L-49 was grown on monosaccharide such as glucose and polysaccharide at the same time cell concentration was low. Amylase production was enhanced when the bacterium was grown on starch and dextrin. Among different nitrogen sources tried, yeast extract was found to be the best followed by panpeptone, peptone, meat extract, bean meal, and corn steep liquor. The average rate of enzyme production was enhanced for 3~4 times in fermentation time from 24h to 44h. The sugar uptake rate has also increased. Low oxygen supply rate enhanced the rate of strain propagation but depressed the enzyme production. Hence it is benefit to obtain high enzyme activity that agitation speed maintained not lower than 400r/min and aeration rate maintained greater than 1:1vvm.

In the present work, the optimization of machining parameters to achieve the desired technological parameters such as surface roughness, tool radial vibration and material removal rate have been carried out using response surface methodology (RSM). The hard turning of EN19 alloy steel with coated carbide (GC3015) cutting tools was studied. The main problem faced in manufacturer of hard and high precision components is the selection of optimum combination of cutting parameters for achieving required quality of surface finish with maximum production rate. This problem can be solved by development of mathematical model and execution of experiments by RSM. A face centred central composite design (FCCD), which comes under the RSM approach, with cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) was used for statistical analysis. A second-order regression model were developed to correlate the cutting parameters with surface roughness, tool vibration and material removal rate. Consequently, numerical and graphical optimization were performed to obtain the most appropriate cutting parameters to produce the lowest surface roughness with minimal tool vibration and maximum material removal rate using desirability function approach. Finally, confirmation experiments were performed to verify the pertinence of the developed mathematical models.

This study aimed to analyze the economic feasibility of Mackerel offshore aquaculture production performance in Jeju region, Korea. Based on the collected biological, costs and market price data, farming revenue and expenses during the farming period were evaluated, and the net present value and the internal rate of return of a 10-year cash inflow and cash outflow were estimated to determine the economic feasibility of Mackerel offshore aquaculture production system. Model results indicated that the Mackerel offshore aquaculture production performance would have high profitability under the current production and market situation. This is because of the relatively high survival rate, relatively low feed conversion ratio and good market prices. However, sensitivity analyses of main important biological and economic variables showed that the economic viability of Mackerel offshore aquaculture production system would be highly vulnerable to production and market condition changes.

The cyclic production lines have the first machines starved and the last machine blocked due to the lack or the excess of empty pallets in the feedback buffer. A workpiece in the cyclic production lines is transported on a pallet, and the total sum of pallets in the system does not changed during the system operation time. Therefore, the production rate of the cyclic production lines are dependent on the total number of pallets in the system. In this paper, we suggest the performance analysis method for the cyclic production lines with inspection machines and the optimal total number of pallets in the system that maximizes the production rate of the system. Finally, we validate the suggested methods by simulations.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine an optimal production time for economic production quantity model with preventive maintenance and random defective rate as the function of a machinery deteriorates. Methods: If a machinery shifts from "in-control" state to "out-of-control" state, a proportion of defective items being produced increases. It is assumed that time to state shift is a random variable and follows an arbitrary distribution. The elapsed time until process shift decreases stochastically as a production cycle repeats and quasi-renewal process is used to implement for production facilities to deteriorate. Results: When the exponential parameter for exponential distribution increases, the optimal production time increases. When Weibull distribution is considered, the optimal production time is closely affected by the shape parameter of Weibull distribution. Conclusion: A mathematical model is suggested to find optimal production time and optimal number of production cycles and numerical examples are implemented to validate the patterns for changes of optimal times under different parameters assumptions. The real application is implemented using the proposed approach.

A study was conducted to determine the effect of environmental temperature and level of food intake on plasma concentration of thyroid hormones. Three dairy heifers were used in an experiment which consisted of three levels of chamber temperature (10, 20 and $30^{\circ}C$) and three levels of food intake (100, 75 and 50% of recommended requirements). The analysis showed significant effects of environmental temperature on plasma triiodothyronine concentration, rectal temperature, respiration rate and heart rate but not on heat production. The range of plasma triiodothyronine was 2.51~1.79 ng/ml when the environmental temperature varied from 10 to $30^{\circ}C$. Effects of feed intake level were significant for heart rate and heal production. Heat production decreased from 25.9 to $20.0kJ/kg^{0.75}{\cdot}h$ when the TDN intake decreased from 66.3 to $35.1g/kg^{0.75}{\cdot}d$. There was no interactive effect of environmental temperature and feed intake level. Plasma triiodothyronine concentration decreased under high environmental temperature without any changes in heat production. The effects of environmental temperature and feed intake level on the physiological function of thyroid gland, as indicated by the relative circulating rate of thyroid hormones, were found to be clear.
