터널 발파의 최외곽에서 발생할 수 있는 과대 여굴은 작업자 및 장비의 안전에 저해되며 숏크리트 등 지보량의 증가로 공사 비용이 증가시키는 주요 원인이다. 이러한 여굴은 화약 에너지와 암반의 특성 간의 복잡한 발생 메커니즘으로 인해 완벽한 제어가 매우 어렵다. 본 연구는 여굴 발생의 중요한 원인인 암반의 공학적 특성 중 무지보 막장 상태, 단축압축강도, 풍화도 및 불연속면의 특성(빈도, 상태 및 불연속면과 최외곽선과의 각도) 등과 발생한 여굴의 깊이와의 관계를 feed-forward 인공신경망을 통해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 통해 얻어진 각 인자의 가중치를 기초로 여굴저항도(Overbreak Resistance Factor: ORF)를 개발하였다. 더불어 여굴저항도를 이용한 터널 발파 여굴 관리 시스템을 제안한다.

This paper proposes a driver supportive device with haptic cue function which can transmit optimal gear shifting timing to a driver without requiring the driver's visual attention. Its performance is evaluated under vehicle model considering automotive engine, transmission and vehicle body. In order to achieve this goal, a torque feedback device is devised and manufactured by adopting the MR (magnetorheological) fluid and clutch mechanism. The manufactured MR clutch is then integrated with the accelerator pedal to construct the proposed haptic cue device. A virtual vehicle emulating a four-cylinder four-stroke engine, manual transmission system of a passenger vehicle and vehicle body is constructed and communicated with the manufactured haptic cue device. Control performances including torque tracking and fuel efficiency are experimentally evaluated via a simple feed-forward control algorithm.

Voltage feed-forward control (VFFC) is widely used in LCL-type grid-tied inverters due to its advantages in terms of disturbance rejection performance and fast dynamic response. However, VFFC may worsen the stability of inverters under weak grid conditions. It is revealed in this paper that a large phase-lag in the low-frequency range is introduced by VFFC, which reduces the phase margin significantly and leads to instability. To address this problem, a novel virtual-impedance-based control, where a phase-lead is introduced into the low-frequency area to compensate for the phase lag caused by VFFC, is proposed to improve system stability. The proposed control is realized with a high-pass filter, without high-order-derivative components. It features easy implementation and good noise immunity. A detailed design procedure for the virtual impedance control is presented. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the control proposed.

Video object segmentation is a significant task in computer vision, but its performance is not very satisfactory. A method of video object segmentation using weakly temporal information is presented in this paper. Motivated by the phenomenon in reality that the motion of the object is a continuous and smooth process and the appearance of the object does not change much between adjacent frames in the video sequences, we use a feed-forward architecture with motion estimation to predict the mask of the current frame. We extend an additional mask channel for the previous frame segmentation result. The mask of the previous frame is treated as the input of the expanded channel after processing, and then we extract the temporal feature of the object and fuse it with other feature maps to generate the final mask. In addition, we introduce multi-mask guidance to improve the stability of the model. Moreover, we enhance segmentation performance by further training with the masks already obtained. Experiments show that our method achieves competitive results on DAVIS-2016 on single object segmentation compared to some state-of-the-art algorithms.

Precise modelling of the interaction of ions with materials is important for many applications including material characterization, ion implantation in devices, thermonuclear fusion, hadron therapy, secondary particle production (e.g. neutron), etc. In this study, a new approach using the Geant4 toolkit in combination with the Bayesian regularization (BR) learning algorithm of the feed-forward neural network (FFNN) is developed to estimate the range of ions in materials accurately and quickly. The different incident ions at different energies are interacted with the target materials. The Geant4 is utilized to model the interactions and to calculate the range of the ions. Afterward, the appropriate architecture of the FFNN-BR with the relevant input features is utilized to learn the modelled ranges and to estimate the new ranges for the new cases. The notable achievements of the proposed approach are: 1- The range of ions in different materials is given as quickly as possible and the time required for estimating the ranges can be neglected (i.e. less than 0.01 s by a typical personal computer). 2- The proposed approach can generalize its ability for estimating the new untrained cases. 3- There is no need for a pre-made lookup table for the estimation of the range values.

우리는 정삼투 공정의 유도용질로서 잠재적인 활용 가능성을 확인하기 위해 식물화학물질인 tannic acid (TA)에 알칼리 염 처리한 alkali tannate 염 중 하나인 potassium tannate (TA-K)를 평가하였다. TA-K의 정삼투 특성과 회수 특성은 체계적으로 조사되었다. 정삼투 공정을 active layer facing feed solution (AL-FS) 방식으로 적용했을 때, TA-K 유도용액의 투수량은 TA 유도용액의 투수량 보다 훨씬 많은 반면, TA 유도용액의 투수량이 거의 확인되지 않았다. 100 mM 저농도에서의 TA-K 유도용액의 삼투압(1,135 mOsmol/kg)은 NaCl 수용액의 삼투압(173 mOsmol/kg)의 약 6.5배로 확인되었다. 100 mM 농도의 TA-K의 투수량과 specific salt flux (6.14 LMH, 1.26 g/L)는 동일한 농도의 NaCl 유도용액의 투수량과 specific salt flux (2.46 LMH, 2.63 g/L)의 약 2.5배 및 0.5배로 각각 확인되었다. TA-K를 재사용하기 위해, 금속 이온 침전법을 이용하여 TA-K유도용질을 침전시킨 후, membrane filtration을 이용하여 유도용질을 회수하였다. 이 연구는 식물화학물질을 정삼투 공정의 유도용질로서의 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of forward osmosis (FO) system for harvesting microalgae cultivated in secondary sewage effluent. Microalgae species used in this study were chlorella sp. ADE4. The drawing agents used for forward osmosis system were seawater and concentrate of sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) system. Chlorella sp. ADE4 cultured in secondary sewage effluent illustrated moderate efficiency in removal of total nitrogen (TN) (68%) and superior performance in total phosphorus (TP) removal (99%). Comparison of seawater and SWRO concentrate as drawing agent were made in FO membrane separation of the microalgae. The result from this study depicts that SWRO concentrate is strong drawing agent in FO membrane system providing an average dewatering rate of $4.8L/(m^2{\cdot}hr)$ compared to seawater with average dewatering of $2.9L/(m^2{\cdot}hr)$. Results obtained from this study indicated that FO system could be viable option for harvesting the microalgae for further biodiesel production. SWRO concentrate as a drawing agent could be very important finding in field of membrane technology for disposal of SWRO concentrate.

Direct treatment of municipal wastewater by forward osmosis (FO) process was evaluated in terms of water flux decline, reverse salt diffusion, pollutants rejection and concentration efficiency by using synthetic seawater as the draw solution. It was found that when operating in PRO mode (active layer facing the draw solution), although the FO membrane exhibited higher osmotic water flux, more severe flux decline and reverse salt diffusion was also observed due to the more severe fouling of pollutants in the membrane support layer and accompanied fouling enhanced concentration polarization. In addition, although the water flux decline was shown to be lower for the FO mode (active layer facing the feed solution), irreversible membrane fouling was identified in both PRO and FO modes as the water flux cannot be restored to the initial value by physical flushing, highlighting the necessity of chemical cleaning in long-term operation. During the 7 cycles of filtration conducted in the experiments, the FO membrane exhibited considerably high rejection for TOC, COD, TP and $NH_4{^+}-N$ present in the wastewater. By optimizing the volume ratio of seawater draw solution/wastewater feed solution, a concentration factor of 3.1 and 3.7 was obtained for the FO and PRO modes, respectively. The results demonstrated the validity of the FO process for direct treatment of municipal wastewater by using seawater as the draw solution, while facilitating the subsequent utilization of concentrated wastewater for bioenergy production, which may have special implications for the coastline areas.
