This paper compares regression and neural network modeling approaches to predict competitive biosorption equilibrium data. The regression approach is based on the fitting of modified Langmuir-type isotherm models to experimental data. Neural networks, on the other hand, are non-parametric statistical estimators capable of identifying patterns in data and correlations between input and output. Our results show that the neural network approach outperforms traditional regression-based modeling in correlating and predicting the simultaneous uptake of copper and cadmium by a microbial biosorbent. The neural network is capable of accurately predicting unseen data when provided with limited amounts of data for training. Because neural networks are purely data-driven models, they are more suitable for obtaining accurate predictions than for probing the physical nature of the biosorption process.

A systematic way of determining the equilibrium orientation of carbon monoxide (CO) in heme proteins using time-resolved polarized mid-IR spectroscopy is presented. The polarization anisotropy at pump-probe delay time of zero in the limit of zero photolysis and the angular distrbution function of CO are required to obtain the equilibrium orientation of CO. An approach is developed for determining the polarization anisotropy in the zero-photolysis limit from the anisotropy measured under finite photolysis conditions in an optically thick sample where the fraction of molecules photolyzed decreased as the pump pulse passes through and is absorbed by the sample. This approach is verified by measuring the polarization anisotropy of CO of carbonmonoxy myoglobin at various levels of photolysis. This method can be readily applied to other photoselection experiments determining precise angle between transition dipoles.

It is a key issue in the tunnel design to evaluate the stability of the excavation face. Two efficient analytical models in the context of the limit equilibrium method (LEM) and the limit analysis method (LAM) are used to carry out the deterministic calculations of the safety factor. The safety factor obtained by these two models agrees well with that provided by the numerical modelling by FLAC 3D, but consuming less time. A simple probabilistic approach based on the Mote-Carlo Simulation technique which can quickly calculate the probability distribution of the safety factor was used to perform the probabilistic analysis on the tunnel face stability. Both the cumulative probabilistic distribution and the probability density function in terms of the safety factor were obtained. The obtained results show the effectiveness of this probabilistic approach in the tunnel design.

Cognitive small cell networks, consisting of macro-cells and small cells, are foreseen as a promising candidate solution to address 5G spectrum scarcity. Recently, many technological issues (such as spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing) related to cognitive small cell networks have been studied, but the common control channel (CCC) establishment problem has been ignored. CCC is an indispensable medium for control message exchange that could have a huge significant on transmitter-receiver handshake, channel access negotiation, topology change, and routing information updates, etc. Therefore, establishing CCC in cognitive small cell networks is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a potential game theory-based approach for CCC establishment in cognitive radio networks. We design a utility function and demonstrate that it is an exact potential game with a pure Nash equilibrium. To maintain the common control channel list (CCL), we develop a CCC update algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach has good convergence. On the other hand, it exhibits good delay and overhead of all networks.

본 논문에서는 미분게임 이론과 다수준 계획법을 이용하여 차량 전복 방지 제어기를 설계하는 방법을 제안한다. 차량 전복 방지 문제는 비협조적 제로섬 2 인 미분게임으로 정식화된다. 미분게임의 균형해로 얻어지는 제어기는 모든 가능한 조향 입력에 대해 최악의 성능을 보장한다. 적은 계산량으로 미분 게임의 균형해를 찾기 위해 완화 과정을 가지는 다수준 계획법을 이용한다. 차량의 롤 운동을 억제하기 위해 능동 현가장치를 사용하면 차량의 횡방향 안정성이 상실되므로 이를 방지하기 위해 자세제어장치(ESP)를 이용한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방법이 미분게임의 균형해를 찾는데 효과적임을 보이고 설계된 제어기가 차량의 전복을 방지함을 보인다.

이 연구는 예비 지구과학 교사들이 지구 복사 평형을 이해하는 데에 있어서 '평형'이라는 개념과 '지구의 권역 간 상호 작용'을 어떻게 인식하고 있는지를 탐색하며, 이들이 갖는 오개념을 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 국가 수준의 평가에서 등장한 문항을 중심으로 이들의 사고 흐름을 들여다 볼 수 있는 질문지를 설계하여 이들에게 투입하였다. 이 설문지의 답변을 분석한 결과, 모든 예비 교사들이 복사 평형 개념을 바르게 서술하였음에도 불구하고, 이들의 약 90%는 복사 평형 개념을 대기가 없는 새로운 지구 환경에 확대 적용하지 못하였다. 이들은 변화된 권역간 새로운 '상호 작용'의 개념 및 오랜 시간에 걸쳐 도달하게 되는 새로운 '평형'의 개념을 원활히 이끌어내지 못하는 것으로 보인다. 이러한 점에서, 예비 교사들의 이러한 개념 형성에 교과서가 어느 정도 영향을 주었을 것으로 보인다. 특히, 고등학교 지구과학 교과서에서는 지구가 복사 평형에 도달하는 과정보다는 평형 상태에서의 열 수지에 초점을 두어 복사 평형을 정량적 방식으로 설명하고 있다. 교과서의 이러한 접근 방식은 학생들을 2015 개정 교육과정에서 추구하는 창의융합형 인재로 육성하기에는 걸림돌이 될 수 있을 것이다. 한편, 지구 복사 평형의 이해에서 자주 발견되는 학생들의 오개념 해소를 위해서 이 연구는 예비 교사를 양성하는 대학 과정에서도 지구 복사 평형의 개념에 대해 좀 더 주의 깊게 다뤄져야 함을 제안한다.

In this study, a simple numerical approach for a circular tunnel opening in strain-softening surrounding rock is proposed considering out-of-plane stress and seepage force based on Biot's effective stress principle. The plastic region of strain-softening surrounding rock was divided into a finite number of concentric rings, of which the thickness was determined by the internal equilibrium equation. The increments of stress and strain for each ring, starting from the elastic-plastic interface, were obtained by successively incorporating the effect of out-of-plane stress and Biot's effective stress principle. The initial value of the outmost ring was determined using equilibrium and compatibility equations. Based on the Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) and generalized Hoek-Brown (H-B) failure criteria, the stress-increment approach for solving stress, displacement, and plastic radius was improved by considering the effects of Biot's effective stress principle and the nonlinear degradation of strength and deformation parameters in plastic zone incorporating out-of-plane stress. The correctness of the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulation.

Capsize and sinking of a coastal car ferry has occurred in a Korean offshore area and has caused hundreds of human casualties. The rapid turn and improper cargo loading are inferred as the main reasons of the accident. It has motivated to develop a new system of cargo securing with improved safety of Korean coastal ferries. This paper provides a new approach regarding cargo securing safety assessment which is purely based on force equilibrium conditions, because IMO CSS is suitable for the ocean-going vessels. The mathematical formulations are presented for the new approach. This paper also introduces a newly developed safety assessment system based on the new approach. Most outstanding features are that it can utilize acceleration data produced from hydrodynamic motion analyses or assumed maximum extents of ship motion components and that securing safety assessment is simultaneously possible for unlimited number of cargoes with finite number of lashings.

There are recently some advances in solving numerically topology optimization problems for large-scaled trusses based on ground structure approach. A disadvantage of this approach is that the final design usually includes many bars, which is difficult to be produced in practice. One of efficient tools is a so-called filter scheme for the ground structure to reduce this difficulty and determine several distinct bars. In detail, this technique is valuable for practical uses because unnecessary bars are filtered out from the ground structure to obtain a well-defined structure during the topology optimization process, while it still guarantees the global equilibrium condition. This process, however, leads to a singular system of equilibrium equations. In this case, the minimization of least squares with Tikhonov regularization is adopted. In this paper, a proposed algorithm in controlling optimal Tikhonov parameter is considered in combination with the filter scheme due to its crucial role in obtaining solution to remove numerical singularity and saving computational time by using sparse matrix, which means that the discrete optimal topology solutions depend on choosing the Tikhonov parameter efficiently. Several numerical examples are investigated to demonstrate the efficiency of the filter parameter control algorithm in terms of the large-scaled optimal topology designs.

In this paper, we propose a parametric optimization approach to simultaneously determining trip distribution, mode choice, and user-equilibrium assignment. In our model, mode choice decisions are based on a binomial logit model and passenger and cargo demands are divided into appropriate mode according to the user equilibrium minimum travel time. Underlying network consists of road and rail networks combined and mode choice available is auto, bus, truck, passenger rail, and cargo rail. We provide an equivalent convex optimization problem formulation and efficient algorithm for solving this problem. The proposed algorithm was applied to a large scale network examples derived from the National Intermodal Transportation Plan (2000-2019).
