In this study, the weight and the connections type layout of low-rise eccentrically braced frame (EBF) have been optimized based on performance-based design method. For this purpose, two objective functions were defined based on two different aspects on rigid connections, in one of which minimization and in the other one, maximization of the number of rigid connections was considered. These two objective functions seek to increase the area under the pushover curve, in addition to the reduction of the weight and selection of the optimum connections type layout. The performance of these objective functions was investigated in optimal design of a three-story eccentrically braced frame, using two meta-heuristic algorithms: Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO) and Enhanced Vibrating Particles System (EVPS). Then, the reliability indices of the optimal designs for both objective functions were calculated for the story lateral drift limits using Monte-Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. Based on the reliability assessment results of the optimal designs and taking the three levels of safety into account, the final designs were selected and their specifications were compared.

The primary objective of the current study is to optimize and evaluate the seismic performance of steel momentresisting frame (MRF) structures considering soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects. The structural optimization is implemented in the context of performance-based design in accordance with FEMA-350 at different confidence levels from 50% to 90% by taking into account fixed- and flexible-base conditions using an efficient metaheuristic algorithm. Nonlinear response-history analysis (NRHA) is conducted to evaluate the seismic response of structures, and the beam-on-nonlinear Winkler foundation (BNWF) model is used to simulate the soil-foundation interaction under the MRFs. The seismic performance of optimally designed fixed- and flexible-base steel MRFs are compared in terms of overall damage index, seismic collapse safety, and interstory drift ratios at different performance levels. Two illustrative examples of 6- and 12-story steel MRFs are presented. The results show that the consideration of SSI in the optimization process of 6- and 12-story steel MRFs results in an increase of 1.0 to 9.0 % and 0.5 to 5.0 % in structural weight and a slight decrease in structural seismic safety at different confidence levels.

이 논문은 투자성과에 있어 자산배분의 중요성이 크다는 것에 주목하여 최적 자산배분을 달성하기 위한 투자의 수단으로써 펀드의 가능성을 살펴보고자 한다. 우선 펀드의 자산별 배분(또는 스타일)을 정의하기 위해 Sharpe(1992)가 제시한 펀드 수익률 기반 스타일 분석을 적용하였다. 정의된 펀드의 스타일이 일정기간 유지되는지 확인하기 위해 특정 개별 투자자를 가정하고 스타일 변동 허용범위를 설정한 뒤 이를 충족시키는지 살펴보았다. 국내 주식형 펀드에 한정하여 실증 분석을 수행한 결과 투자시점에 가정하였던 펀드의 스타일이 투자 예상 기간 동안 지속적으로 유지되지 않음을 확인하였고 그 원인을 파악하고자 하였다. 몇 가지 분석 상의 한계에도 불구하고 실증 분석의 결과 펀드가 투자자의 최적 자산배분 달성을 위한 투자수단으로 적절치 않다는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

The complex analysis of the pedigree records of Czech Landrace (CLA), Czech Large White-dam line (CLWd), Czech Large White-sire line (CLWs), Duroc (DC), and Pietrain (PN) was performed to determine trends of genetic diversity (GD), and to find the main sources of the GD loss. The total size of the pedigree was 132,365, 391,151, 32,913, 13,299, and 7,160 animals in CLA, CLWd, CLWs, DC, and PN, respectively. Animals born in the years 2011 through 2013 were assumed as the reference population. The average pedigree completeness index for one generation back was 95.9%, 97.4%, 91.2%, 89.8%, and 94.2% for appropriate breeds. Number of ancestors explaining 100% of gene pool was 186, 373, 125, 157, and 37 in CLA, CLWd, CLWs, DC, and PN, respectively. The relative proportion of inbred animals (58%, 58%, 54%, 47%, and 25%), the average inbreeding (2.7%, 1.4%, 2.5%, 3.6%, and 1.3%) and the average co-ancestry (3.1%, 1.6%, 3.3%, 4.2%, and 3.3%) were found over the past decade in analysed breeds. The expected inbreeding under random mating increased during the last 10 years in CLWs and PN and varied from 1.27% to 3.2%. The effective population size computed on the basis of inbreeding was 76, 74, 50, 35, and 83 in 2012 in CLA, CLWd, CLWs, DC, and PN, respectively. The shortest generation interval (1.45) was observed for CLWd in sire to son selection pathway. The longest generation interval obtained PN (1.95) in sire to daughter pathway. The average relative GD loss within last generation interval was 7.05%, 4.70%, 9.81%, 7.47%, and 10.46%, respectively. The relative proportion of GD loss due to genetic drift on total GD loss was 85.04%, 84.51%, 89.46%, 86.19%, and 83.68% in CLA, CLWd, CLWs, DC, and PN, respectively. All breeds were characterized by a high proportion of inbred animals, but the average inbreeding was low. The most vulnerable breeds to loss of GD are DC and PN. Therefore, a breeding program should be more oriented to prevent the increase of GD loss in these breeds.

Recently, shipping operators have been making efforts to reduce the fuel cost in various ways, such as trim optimization and bulb re-design. Furthermore, IMO restricts the hydro-dioxide emissions to the environment based on the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index), EEOI (Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator), and SEEMP (Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan). In particular, ship speed is one of the most important factors for calculating the EEDI, which is based on methods suggested by ITTC (International Towing Tank Conference) or ISO (International Standardization Organization). Many shipbuilding companies in Korea have carried out speed trials around the Korea Straits. However, the conditions for these speed trials have not been exactly the same as those for model tests. Therefore, a ship’s speed is corrected by measured environmental data such as the seawater temperature, density, wind, waves, swell, drift, and rudder angle to match the conditions of the model tests. In this study, fundamental research was performed to evaluate the ship resistance performance due to changes in the water temperature and salinity, comparing the ISO method and numerical simulation. A numerical simulation of a KCS (KRISO Container ship) with a free-surface was performed using the commercial software Star-CCM+ under three conditions that were assumed based on the water temperature and salinity data in the Korea Straits. In the simulation results, the resistance increased under low water temperature & high salinity conditions, and it decreased under high water temperature & low salinity conditions. In addition, the ISO method showed the same result as the simulation.

A metrological atomic force microscope (M-AFM) was developed fur the length measurements of nanometer range, through the modification of a commercial AFM. To eliminate nonlinearity and crosstalk of the PZT tube scanner of the commercial AFM, a two-axis flexure hinge scanner employing built-in capacitive sensors is used for X-Y motion instead of PZT tube scanner. Then two-dimensional displacement of the scanner is measured using two-axis heterodyne laser interferometer to ensure the meter-traceability. Through the measurements of several specimens, we could verify the elimination of nonlinearity and crosstalk. The uncertainty of length measurements was estimated according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement. Among several sources of uncertainty, the primary one is the drift of laser interferometer output, which occurs mainly from the variation of refractive index of air and the thermal stability. The Abbe error, which is proportional to the measured length, is another primary uncertainty source coming from the parasitic motion of the scanner. The expanded uncertainty (k =2) of length measurements using the M-AFM is √(4.26)$^2$+(2.84${\times}$10$^{-4}$ ${\times}$L)$^2$(nm), where f is the measured length in nm. We also measured the pitch of one-dimensional grating and compared the results with those obtained by optical diffractometry. The relative difference between these results is less than 0.01 %.

Control algorithms are the most important aspects in successful control of structures against earthquakes. In recent years, intelligent control methods rather than classical control methods have been more considered by researchers, due to some specific capabilities such as handling nonlinear and complex systems, adaptability, and robustness to errors and uncertainties. However, due to lack of learning ability of fuzzy controller, it is used in combination with a genetic algorithm, which in turn suffers from some problems like premature convergence around an incorrect target. Therefore in this research, the introduction and design of the Fuzzy Cooperative Coevolution (Fuzzy CoCo) controller and Adaptive Neural-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) have been innovatively presented for semi-active seismic control. In this research, in order to improve the seismic behavior of structures, a semi-active control of building using Magneto Rheological (MR) damper is proposed to determine input voltage of Magneto Rheological (MR) dampers using ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the performance of controllers. In this paper, the design of controllers is based on the reduction of the Park-Ang damage index. In order to assess the effectiveness of the designed control system, its function is numerically studied on a 9-story benchmark building, and is compared to those of a Wavelet Neural Network (WNN), fuzzy logic controller optimized by genetic algorithm (GAFLC), Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and Clipped Optimal Control (COC) systems in terms of seismic performance. The results showed desirable performance of the ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers in considerably reducing the structure responses under different earthquakes; for instance ANFIS and Fuzzy CoCo controllers showed respectively 38 and 46% reductions in peak inter-story drift ($J_1$) compared to the LQG controller; 30 and 39% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the COC controller and 3 and 16% reductions in $J_1$ compared to the GAFLC controller. When compared to other controllers, one can conclude that Fuzzy CoCo controller performs better.

도시화는 하천의 수리, 수질 및 수로의 형태를 변화시키고, 수생태계의 조성을 변화시키고 있다. 최근 포천천과 영평천 주변에 많은 인구와 소규모의 공장 등이 유입되어 도시화됨으로써 오, 폐수의 방류량이 증가하였다. 본 연구는 도시화의 정도에 따라 하천 생태계를 구성하고 있는 돌 부착규조 군집의 조성이 다른 것에 기초로 하여 돌 부착규조 군집의 조성, 우점종 및 생태군 별 종 조성과 생물지수(DAIpo)에 의한 수 환경을 평가하였다. 두 하천의 도시화 지수는 포천천의 정점 P-3와 P-5에서 각각 85와 91로 매우 높은 반면에 영평천 주변의 도시화지수는 약 20 이하였다. 본 조사에서 돌 부착규조는 총 141종류로써 2목, 8과, 30속, 128종, 12변종, 1미동정종으로 구성되었다. 출현 종수는 포천천에서$11{\sim}36$종류의 범위였고, 영평천에서 $14{\sim}45$종류의 범위였다. 우점종은 포천천에서 Navicular saprophila, N. subminuscula, Nitzschia palea, Gomphonema pseudoaugur 등이었으며, 영평천에서 Achnanthes alteragracillima, A. convergens, A. minutissima, N. minima, N. fonticola, N. frustulum와 Cymbella minuta var. silesiaca 등으로써 두 하천의 도시화 정도에 따라 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었다. 도시화 지수와 EC, BOC, COD, TN, TP. 및 DAIpo 등은 높은 상관관계 $(r^2>0.8)$를 나타내었다. 도시화에 따라 유기오염의 정도가 매우 다르며, 이에 따라 돌 부착 규조의 생태군이 포천천에서는 호오탁성종의 종수 및 상대빈도가 매우 높은 반면 영평천에서는 호청수종의 종수 및 상대빈도가 높았다. 생물지수(DAIpo)에 의한 두 하천의 수질은 포천천에서 조사 동안 강부수성(P-3, 4, 5)을 나타내었고, 영평천에서는 빈부수성(Y-1)에서 강부수성(Y-4)까지 다양하게 나타났다.

항만의 계획 및 개발단계에서 중요한 요소 중 하나는 항로의 설계이다. 수심이 확보되어 있는 수역이라면 항로의 설계에서 가장 핵심이 되는 요소는 항로의 배치와 항로폭의 결정이 될 것이다. 본 연구에서는 가변범퍼영역모델을 이용하여 항로를 설계하고 평가하는 것이다. 이 기법에서는 가변범퍼영역을 이용하여 선박의 주요치수, 선박점용이론, 선박의 속력, 선박지휘자의 조선기술과 경험 등을 고려할 수 있으며, 특히 선박에 작용하여 선박의 운동 및 조종특성에 영향을 미치는 모든 외력을 고려할 수 있다. 이를 위해 선박조종자의 선박제어와 외력 등에 의한 선박의 동적데이터를 분석하기 위해 전기능선박조종시뮬레이터를 이용하였다. 이 기법에서는 항로의 적정성과 안전성을 평가하기 위해 점용지수를 이용한다. 항로설계기법을 울산신항개발계획에 적용하였다. 이 계획에서는 항로의 폭은 전장의 1.5배, 만곡부의 곡률반경은 전장의 5.0배로 설계되었으며, 항로부근에는 SBM이 위치하고 있다. 대상선박에 대해서는 항로의 폭과 곡률반경이 적절하지만, 대각도 변침과 항로부근에 위치한 SBM에 의해 선박 조선상의 어려움이 야기되는 것으로 분석되었다.
