Design of a GA-based SPS controller for Power system stabilization has been investigated in this paper. The design problem of SPS controller is formulated as an optimization problem using GA. The dynamic characteristic responses are considered to verify performance of the proposed SPS under various disturbance for various operation conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed SPS controller provides most of the damping and improves greatly the voltage profile of the system under two different disturbances.

Thermoforming is one of the most versatile and economical process to produce polymer products. The drawback of thermoforming is difficult to control thickness of final products. Temperature distribution affects the thickness distribution of final products, but temperature difference between surface and center of sheet is difficult to decrease because of low thermal conductivity of ABS material. In order to decrease temperature difference between surface and center, heating profile must be expressed as exponential function form. In this study, Finite Difference Method was used to find out the coefficients of optimal heating profiles. Through investigation, the optimal results using Finite Difference Method show that temperature difference between surface and center of sheet can be remarkably minimized with satisfying Temperature of Forming Window.

Eco-driving technique for electric vehicles (EVs) is investigated in this paper. Many findings on EVs have been reported; however, they did not deal with eco-driving from the viewpoint of theoretical study. The authors have developed an energy-saving driving technique - the so-called "eco-driving" technique based on dynamic programming (DP). Optimal speed profile of an EV, which minimizes the amount of total energy consumption, was determined under fixed origin and destination, running time, and track conditions. DP algorithm can deal with such complicated conditions and can also derive the optimal solution. Using the proposed method, simulations were run for some cases. In particular, the author ran simulations for the case of a gradient road with a traffic signal. The optimization model was solved with MATLAB.

This paper proposes an voltage and reactive power control methodology, which is motivated towards implementation in the korea power system. The main voltage control devices are capacitor banks, reactor banks and LTC transformers. Effects of control devices are evaluated by local subsystem's cost computations. This local subsystem is decided by 'Tier' and 'Electrical distance' in the whole system. The control objective at present is to keep the voltage profile within constraints with minimum switching cost. A robust control strategy is proposed to make the control feasible and optimal for a set of power-flow cases that may occur important event from system. This studies conducted for IEEE 39-bus low and high voltage contingency cases indicate that the proposed control methodology is much more effective than PSS/E simulation tool in deciding switching of capacitor and reactor banks.

Gear is an essential component of an automotive. Crowning is used for tooth modification of a gear. The basic concept of gear tooth crowning is to reduce the stress concentration in edge of contact area and appropriate profile modifications can help gears to resist scoring, pitting, and tooth breakage. In this study, a method to determinate spur gear tooth crowning amount to make smooth surface stress and subsurface stress distribution is proposed. This method is based on the contact analysis.

Adaptive wings are capable of properly modifying their shape depending on the current aerodynamic conditions, in order to improve the overall performance of a flying vehicle. In this paper is presented the concept design of a small-scale compliant wing rib whose outline may be distorted in order to switch from an aerodynamic profile to another. The distortion loads are induced by shape memory alloy actuators placed within the frame of a wing section whose elastic response is predicted by the matrix method with beam formulation. Genetic optimization is used to find a wing rib structure (corresponding to the first airfoil) able to properly deforms itself when loaded by the SMA-induced forces, becoming as close as possible to the desired target shape (second airfoil). An experimental validation of the design procedure is also carried out with reference to a simplified structure layout.

A Multibeam Echo Sounder (MBES) is commonly used for rapid seafloor mapping. We herein present a time-domain integrated system simulation technique for MBES development. The Modeling and Simulation (M&S) modules consist of four parts: sensor array signal transmission, propagation and backscattering modeling in the ocean environment, beamforming of the received signals, and image processing. Also, the simulation employs a ray-theory-based algorithm to correct the reconstructed bathymetry, which has errors due to the refraction caused by the vertical sound velocity profile. The developed M&S technique enables design parameter verification and system parameter optimization for MBES. The framework of this technique can also be potentially used to characterize the seabed properties. Finally, typical seafloor images are presented and discussed.

Economic investigation is one of the main issues regarding the design and production of small-scale structures. This paper concerns the creation, implementation, and economic aspects of the cross-section profile of small-scale structures regarding the dynamic response of the free and forced vibration behavior of spinning nanoscale beams based on big data analysis. According to the financial analysis, the three practical non-uniform functions of cross-sections are compared to the uniform beam in the same weight and the equal material used. The previous studies reported that the uniform beams are more stable and contain a better frequency response based on the mechanical analysis. Still, concerning the economic investigation, which means the considered structures should have equal length and have the same weight in the aspect of material used, the conclusion can be different from the mechanical aspect. Consequently, in the current paper, the dynamic response along with computer technology as well as the big data analysis of the free and forced vibration of the nanobeam regarding the economic shape of the cross-section is scrutinized.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. The aggressive but not always predictable pattern of HCC causes the limited treatment option and poorer outcome. Many researches had already proven the heterogeneity of HCC is one of the major challenges for treatment option and prognosis prediction. Molecular subtyping of HCC and selection of patient based on molecular profile can provide the optimization in the treatment and prognosis prediction. In this review, we have tried to summarize the molecular classification of HCC proposed by different valuable researches presented in the logistic way.

방향성 결합기의 소멸비 특성 개선을 위해 입사도파로의 접근각도를 조절하는 방안의 가능성과 오차한계를 살펴보았다. 입사도파로의 접근각도가 크면 단순한 모드분석 이론의 틀에 오차를 유발하게 되지만 적절하게 조절하면 오차를 극소화하면서도 입사되는 광모드의 결합계수를 미세 조절함으로써 소멸비를 개선하는 효과가 있었다. 급격한 접근각도의 설정 시에는 비록 그 각도가 작아서 유출모드(leak mode)에 의한 손실이 있기 전이더라도 광모드의 과잉쏠림(field-profile overshooting)에 의해 각종 특성의 열화가 생기기 시작하는 것을 발견하고 그 영향을 분석하였다. 진행 광모드의 변화는 BPM(Beam Propagation Method)으로 전산 모사하였으며, 직선형 및 곡선형의 두 가지 입사도파로 구조에 대해 특성변화를 비교하여 소멸비 특성을 최적화하는 조건을 얻어내었다.
