The general capacitor placement problem is a combinatorial optimization problem having an objective function composed of power losses and capacitor installation costs subject to bus voltage constraints. In this paper, a global optimization technique, which employing the chaos search algorithm, is applied to solve optimal capacitor placement problem with reducing computational effort and enhancing global optimality of the solution. Chaos method in optimization problem searches the global optimal solution on the regularity of chaotic motions and easily escapes from local or near optimal solution than stochastic optimization algorithms. The chaos optimization method is tested on 9 buses and 69 buses system to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Several desiccant cooling systems have been developed in terms of cost and performance. In this study a fin-tube exchanger has been used for liquid desiccant dehumidification system. This dehumidifier has been designed to study the absorption characteristic of the aqueous triethylene glycol(TEG) solution which has the flow range from 20 to 50 LPM. The dehumidifier performance characteristics of working factor variables such as inlet solution flow rate, air flow rate, solution concentration and brine temperature have been analyzed. This dehumidifier has the ability to provide running while saving the latent heat load of total energy. The result of this experiment can provide useful data for hybrid air conditioning system.

This paper is concerned with the impulsive control problem $$ \dot{x}(t) = f(t, x) + g(t, x)\dot{u}(t), t \in [0, T], x(0) = \overline{x}, $$ where u is a possibly discontinuous control function of bounded variation, $f : R \times R^n \mapsto R^n$ is a bounded and Lipschitz continuous function, and $g : R \times R^n \mapsto R^n$ is continuously differentiable w.r.t. the variable x and satisfies $\mid$g(t,\cdot) - g(s,\cdot)$\mid$ \leq \phi(t) - \phi(s)$, for some increasing function $\phi$ and every s < t. We show that the map $u \mapsto x_u$ is Lipschitz continuous when u ranges in the set of step functions whose total variations are uniformly bounded, where $x_u$ is the solution of the impulsive control system corresponding to u. We also define the generalized solution of the impulsive control system corresponding to a measurable control functin of bounded variation.

A few sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed point and common fixed point for certain contractive type mappings in complete metric spaces are provided. Several existence and uniqueness results of solution and common solution for some functional equations and system of functional equations in dynamic programming are discussed by using the fixed point and common fixed point theorems presented in this paper.

Recently large capacity of electric equipment and increasing in atomic power generation are shown. One of the reason is shortage of the electric power supply for air conditioning load during summer. And every consumer is concerning about economical refrigeration and air conditioning system to decreases electric power consumption and decrease in global warming. For these necessities, ice making thermal storage system is required. Therefore, in this paper, the possibility of continuous slurry ice making using flowing organic water solution in cooled circular tube has been investigated. The experiments was carried out under some parameters of concentration and velocity of water solution, temperature of cooled tube wall, and control pressure in tube, As a result, four types of operating conditions in the pipe, that was supercooling, continuous ice making, intermittent ice making and ice blockage, were classified . And it was found that the critical condition for continuous ice making was acquired as a function of these experimental parameters.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of dipping in tooth reserving solution on bond strength of 4-META/MMA-TBB dentin bonding system. The flattened dentin surface of bovine lower incisor was used for this investigation. The tooth were dipped in the tooth reserving solution (ViaSpan; Du Pont Pharmatical / Teeth Server "NEO";Neo Dental Chemical products CO/LTD, Japan/ Saline, Fuso Chemical CO, LTD, Japan) for 30 min.(omitted)

Copper oxide, CuO, are very important components include of high temperature super- conductors, and widely used. The properties of sintered materials were affected by the size and shape of copper oxide with starting materials in the solid-phase reaction. A homogeneous and fine CuO powder was prepared by thermal decomposition of the copper oxalate precursor. Copper oxalate was precipitated by the addition of copper nitrate solution to an oxalic acid solution. The influence of various factors such as temperature, pH, concentration as well as ultrasonic irradiation in the solution were investigated.

In order to predict the dynamic behaviors of uranium and cobalt in a fixed bed at various influent pH values of liquid waste, the adsorption system was regarded as multi-component adsorption between each ionic species in a solution. Langmuir isotherm parameters of each species were extracted by incorporating equilibrium data with the solution chemistry of uranium and cobalt using IAST. Prediction results were in good agreement with the experimental data, except for a high concentration and pH. Although there was some limitations in predicting the cobalt adsorption, this method may be useful in analyzing a complex adsorption system where various kinds of ionic species exist in a solution.

This paper presents a novel method for searching stable solution using DNA coding scheme. Often there are more than one solutions that satisfy the system requirements. These solutions can be viewed as extremes in multimodal function. All extremes are not the same in that some of them are using sensitive to noise or perturbation. This paper address the method that selects a solution that meets the system requirements in terms of output performance and is tolerant to the perspective noise or perturbation. A new method, called a Gradient DNA coding is proposed to achieve such objectives several numerical examples and presented and comparing DNA coding with genetic algorithm is also given.
