Alternative control schemes for an Advanced High Temperature Reactor system consisting of a reactor, an intermediate heat exchanger, and a secondary heat exchanger (SHX) are presented in this paper. One scheme is designed to control the cold outlet temperature of the SHX ($T_{co}$) and the hot outlet temperature of the intermediate heat exchanger ($T_{ho2}$) by manipulating the hot-side flow rates of the heat exchangers ($F_h/F_{h2}$) responding to the flow rate and temperature disturbances. The flow rate disturbances typically require a larger manipulation of the flow rates than temperature disturbances. An alternate strategy examines the control of the cold outlet temperature of the SHX ($T_{co}$) only, since this temperature provides the driving force for energy production in the power conversion unit or the process application. The control can be achieved by three options: (1) flow rate manipulation; (2) reactor power manipulation; or (3) a combination of the two. The first option has a quicker response but requires a large flow rate change. The second option is the slowest but does not involve any change in the flow rates of streams. The third option appears preferable as it has an intermediate response time and requires only a minimal flow rate change.

The stochastic stability control of the parameter-excited vibration of an inclined stay cable with multiple modes coupling under random and periodic combined support disturbances is studied by using the direct eigenvalue analysis approach based on the response moment stability, Floquet theorem, Fourier series and matrix eigenvalue analysis. The differential equation with time-varying parameters for the transverse vibration of the inclined cable with control under random and deterministic support disturbances is derived and converted into the randomly and deterministically parameter-excited multi-degree-of-freedom vibration equations. As the stochastic stability of the parameter-excited vibration is mainly determined by the characteristics of perturbation moment, the differential equation with only deterministic parameters for the perturbation second moment is derived based on the $It{\hat{o}}$ stochastic differential rule. The stochastically and deterministically parameter-excited vibration stability is then determined by the deterministic parameter-varying response moment stability. Based on the Floquet theorem, expanding the periodic parameters of the perturbation moment equation and the periodic component of the characteristic perturbation moment expression into the Fourier series yields the eigenvalue equation which determines the perturbation moment behavior. Thus the stochastic stability of the parameter-excited cable vibration under the random and periodic combined support disturbances is determined directly by the matrix eigenvalues. The direct eigenvalue analysis approach is applicable to the stochastic stability of the control cable with multiple modes coupling under various periodic and/or random support disturbances. Numerical results illustrate that the multiple cable modes need to be considered for the stochastic stability of the parameter-excited cable vibration under the random and periodic support disturbances, and the increase of the control damping rather than control stiffness can greatly enhance the stochastic stability of the parameter-excited cable vibration including the frequency width increase of the periodic disturbance and the critical value increase of the random disturbance amplitude.

전력선 신호는 다양한 원인으로 인하여 이상 현상을 보일 수 있다. 대표적인 이상 현상으로는 일시적인 진폭의 증가 혹은 감소(swell/sag), 클립핑에 따른 진폭의 일시적인 평탄화(flat top), 고조파 왜곡(harmonic distortion) 등이다. 고품질의 전력 신호를 위하여는 이러한 이상 현상의 검출 및 대응이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 변곡점 검출법을 활용하여 전력선 신호의 이상 현상을 검출한다. 변곡점은 국부적인 최대값/최소값 그리고 기울기가 변하는 지점으로 정의된다. 전력선 신호는 정현파이기 때문에 최대값과 최소값 부근에서 변곡점이 존재하며 이상 현상이 발생하는 곳에서 추가적인 변곡점이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 대상 신호에서 검출된 변곡점과 정상 신호의 변곡점을 비교하여 이상 현상을 판단한다. 아울러 비용함수를 정의하여 이상 현상이 발생하는 시점을 추정한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험으로 다양한 이상 현상에 대한 제안된 방법의 유용성을 검증한다. 일시적인 진폭의 증가/감소의 경우, 변곡점의 위치는 정상 신호와 동일하며, 변곡점에서의 진폭에서만 차이가 발생한다. 고조파 왜곡이나 평탄화된 진폭의 경우 추가적인 변곡점이 발생하여 비용함수가 큰 값을 보인다. 이러한 이상 현상 간의 차이를 이용하여 이상 현상을 분류할 수 있다.

무작위 및 주기적인 변동하는 재생에너지 발전 전력 품질 교란으로 인해 발전 변환 송전 및 배전에서 더 자주 발생하게 된다. 전력 품질 교란은 장비 손상 또는 정전으로 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 서로 다른 전력 품질 외란을 실시간으로 자동감지하고 분류하는 것이 필요하다. 전통적인 PQD 식별 방법은 특징 추출 특징 선택 및 분류의 세 단계로 구성된다. 그러나 수동으로 생성한 특징은 선택 단계에서 정확성을 보장하기 힘들어서 분류 정확도를 향상하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 16가지 종류의 전력 품질 신호를 인식하기 위해 CNN(Convolution Neural Networ)과 LSTM(Long Short Term Memory)을 기반으로 시간 영역과 주파수 영역의 특징을 결합한 심층 신경망 구조를 제안하였다. 주파수 영역 데이터는 주파수 영역 특징을 효율적으로 추출할 수 있는 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform)로 얻었다. 합성 데이터와 실제 6kV 전력 시스템 데이터의 성능은 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 다른 딥러닝 방법보다 일반화되었음을 보여주었다.

The climacteric is that phase in the aging process during which a woman passes from the reproductive to the non-reproductive stage. The signals, such as hot flashes, vaso-motoric disturbances, perspiration, stiff shoulders, emotional symptoms, are refereed to as climacteric disturbances. Treatment of climacteric symptoms centers on estrogen replacement and transquilizers, but there are many problems to be solved to use these hormones/drugs as far as dosage, duration and complications are concerned. The care of women during the climacteric years should provide relief of distressing symptoms with as high a degree of safety as possible. From this viewpoint, we used red ginseng powder to those patients with high menopausal index successfully. We studied its mechanism of action and proved that red ginseng improved the micro-circulation system via improvement of erythrocyte deferability which enhanced sex steroidgenesis consequently

Advanced control is getting increasingly demanded in water and wastewater treatment systems. Various case studies have shown significant savings in operating costs, including energy costs, and remarkably short payback times. It has been demonstrated that instrumentation, control and automation (ICA) may increase the capacity of biological nutrient removing wastewater treatment plants by 10-30% today. With further understanding and exploitation of the mechanisms involved in biological nutrient removal the improvements due to ICA may reach another 20-50% of the total system investments within the next 10-20 years. Disturbances are the reason for control of any system. In a wastewater treatment system they are mostly related to the load variations, but many disturbances are created also within the plant. In water supply systems some of the major disturbances are related the customer demand as well as to leakages or bursts in the pipelines or the distribution networks. Hardly any system operates in steady state but is more or less in a transient state all the time. Water and energy are closely related. The role of energy in water and wastewater operations is discussed. With increasing energy costs and the threatening climate changes this issue will grow in importance.

This paper presents synchronization of LTV (Linear Time-Varying) MAS (Multi-Agent Systems) with heterogeneous time-varying disturbances under a fixed, connected, and undirected communication network. All the agents can collect only relative state information from their neighborhoods. To achieve synchronization of the MAS, an integral control scheme is proposed based on relative state information between agents.

Sleep disturbances are commonly encountered problems in cancer patients. Sleep has a role in maintenance of immunity, metabolism, and quality of life but little has been known about the prevalence, risk factors, and effects on prognosis of sleep disturbances in patients with cancer. Also little attention has been made on proper assessment and management of sleep disorders in these patients. Recently, there have been some reports that sleep disorders are related with development of many cancers such as breast, colorectal, prostate, and endometrial cancers. An intermittent hypoxia and a disruption of circadian rhythm are considered as one of the possible mechanisms of cancer developments. More aggressive evaluation and meticulous management of sleep disturbances in cancer patients are essential to improve quality of life as well as prognosis.

Momentum changing actuators like reaction wheels and control moment gyros are generally used for spacecraft attitude control. This type of actuators produces force and torque disturbances. These disturbances must be reduced since they degrade the quality of spacecraft attitude control. Major disturbances are mainly due to static and dynamic imbalances. This paper gives attention to the reduction of the static and dynamic imbalance. Force/torque measurement system is used to measure the disturbance of the test reaction wheel. An identification method for the location and magnitude of the imbalance is suggested, and the corrections of the imbalance are performed using balancing method. Through balancing, the static and dynamic imbalance is remarkably reduced.

An optimal preview controller based on the discrete-time $H_{.inf}$ control is presented. The preview controller is synthesized by considering the bounded unknwon disturbances as well as previewable commands and disturbances. The controller derivation procedure is analogous to the LQ-based scheme. The designed preview gain matrix has a similar structure as the LQ-based one. As the infinity norm .gamma. of the transfer function matrix tends to .inf., the preview gains obtained by $H_{\infty}$ control method approach to the gains by the LQR. The LQ-based preview gains are verified to be subsets of the $H_{.inf}$ -based preview gains..
