In this article, a harmony search algorithm is presented for optimum design of steel frame structures. Harmony search is a meta-heuristic search method which has been developed recently. It is based on the analogy between the performance process of natural music and searching for solutions of optimization problems. The design algorithms obtain minimum weight frames by selecting suitable sections from a standard set of steel sections such as American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) wide-flange (W) shapes. Stress constraints of AISC Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and AISC Allowable Stress Design (ASD) specifications, maximum (lateral displacement) and interstorey drift constraints, and also size constraint for columns were imposed on frames. The results of harmony search algorithm were compared to those of the other optimization algorithms such as genetic algorithm, optimality criterion and simulated annealing for two planar and two space frame structures taken from the literature. The comparisons showed that the harmony search algorithm yielded lighter designs for the design examples presented.

We investigate the evolutionary dynamics and the phase transitions of the island model which consists of subdivided populations of individuals confined to two islands. In the island model, the population is subdivided so that migration acts to determine the evolutionary dynamics along with selection and genetic drift. The individuals are assumed to be haploid and to be one of two species, X or Y. They reproduce according to their fitness values, die at random, and migrate between the islands. The evolutionary dynamics of an individual based model is formulated in terms of a master equation and is approximated by using the diffusion method as the multidimensional Fokker-Planck equation (FPE) and the coupled non-linear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with multiplicative noise. We analyze the infinite population limit to find the phase transitions from the monomorphic state of one type to the polymorphic state to the monomorphic state of the other type as we vary the ratio of the fitness values in two islands and complete the phase diagram of our island model.

Microalgae are of significant importance for future biotechnological applications. Many microalgae banks or laboratories attempt to maintain various microalgae for further research purposes. Cryopreservation has been preferred to reduce a labor-intensive and costly routine sub-culturing. Cryopreservation can also diminish the genetic drift risk. However, cryopreservation as a long term storage of microalgae method are still in developing progress because it cannot be generalized for all microalgae. Microalgae types, cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) types, freezing and thawing methods are the most important factors that should be considered for cryopreservation. In this short review the basic principles and the current advanced of microalgae cryopreservation methods are discussed with a suggested starting parameters for microalgae cryopreservation.

제주도에 자생하는 희귀식물종인 황근(아욱과) 3개 집단을 대상으로 ITS 염기서열 변이와 ISSR 변이를 분석하는 방법으로 유전적 다양성을 조사하였다. 집단 1(북제주군 하도리 집단)에 포함된 18개체의 ITS 염기서열을 분석한 결과 총 14개 지점(다형 뉴클레오티드까지 포함하면 17개 지점)에서 뉴클레오티드 변이가 관측되었으며, 각 개체들은 최소 1개에서 최대 13개 뉴클레오티드 지점에서 염기서열의 차이를 보였다. 그러나 집단 2(남제주군 오조리 집단) 17개체와 집단 3(남제주군 세화리 집단) 17개체의 ITS 염기서열은 모두 동일한 것으로 확인되었다. ISSR 변이분석 방법에 의해 생산된 자료를 분석한 결과 역시, 집단 1이 집단 2와 3에 비해 상대적으로 더 높은 유전적 다양성 지표들을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 집단 2와 3의 형성 과정에서 극심한 유전적부동이 존재했었으며, 이후 인접 집단으로부터 이들 집단으로의 유전자 유입이 매우 제한적이었던 반면, 집단 1은 오랫동안 개체군이 안정적으로 유지되어왔기 때문으로 해석되었다. 우리나라에 자생하는 황근을 보존하기 위해서는 유전적 다양성이 월등히 더 높은 하도리 집단을 우선적으로 보존하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 만일 현지외 보존이 필요할 경우 하도리 집단에 포함된 개체를 집중적으로 활용하는 것이 더 효율적일 것으로 판단된다.

A base isolation system is widely used to reduce seismic responses of low-rise buildings. This system cannot be effectively applied to high-rise buildings because the initial stiffness of the high-rise building with the base isolation system maintains almost the same as the building without the base isolation system to set the yield shear force of the base isolation system larger than the design wind load. To solve this problem, the mid-story isolation system was proposed and applied to many buildings. The mid-story isolation system has two major objectives; first to reduce peak story drift and second to reduce peak drift of the isolation story. Usually, these two objectives are in conflict. In this study, a hybrid mid-story isolation system for a tall building is proposed. A MR (magnetorheological) damper was used to develop the hybrid mid-story isolation system. An existing building with mid-story isolation system, that is "Shiodome Sumitomo Building" a high rise building having a large atrium in the lower levels, was used for control performance evaluation of the hybrid mid-story isolation system. Fuzzy logic controller and genetic algorithm were used to develop the control algorithm for the hybrid mid-story isolation system. It can be seen from analytical results that the hybrid mid-story isolation system can provide better control performance than the ordinary mid-story isolation system and the design process developed in this study is useful for preliminary design of the hybrid mid-story isolation system for a tall building.

구상나무 3개 집단과 분비나무 5개 집단에 존재하는 유전변이량과 집단간 유전분화를 추정하기 위해서 5개 nSSR 표지를 분석하였다. 유전자좌당 대립유전자가 과다하게 관찰된 1개 유전자좌를 제외한 나머지 유전자좌를 대상으로 통계분석을 실시한 결과, 평균 이형접합체 빈도 기대값($H_e$)이 구상나무는 0.292, 분비나무는 0.220으로 계산되어 구상나무의 유전변이량이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 집단내 고정지수(F)는 구상나무가 평균 0.065, 분비나무가 평균 0.095로 양의 값을 나타내어 두 수종 공히 집단 내 동형접합체가 H-W 평형상태에서의 기대 개체수 보다 많은 것으로 나타났다. 집단 간 유전분화를 분석한 결과, 분비나무 집단들에 비해서($F_{ST}=0.039$) 구상나무 집단간 유전분화($F_{ST}=0.063$)가 더 심화된 것으로 나타났다. 두 수종간의 유전분화($F_{PT}$)는 0.049로 나타나 유전변이의 대부분이 두 수종 간에 공유되고 있음이 확인되었다. 집단간 유전적 유연관계를 분석한 결과, 구상나무의 2개 집단(덕유산, 한라산)이 분비나무 집단들과 분리되어 나타났으나 지리산집단은 분비나무 집단들과 그룹을 형성하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 분석된 대부분의 집단들이 빙하기 이후의 기온 상승으로 산 정상부에 국소적으로 남겨지게 됨에 따라 집단 크기가 점진적으로 감소되어 초래된 유전적 부동과 근친교배의 결과 동형접합체가 증가되었으며, 두 수종의 종분화 과정이 비교적 최근에 일어났으나 아직 충분히 분화되지 못한 상태인 것으로 추정할 수 있었다.

The Mega-Sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS), an innovative vibration passive control system for building structures, is improved by adding lead rubber bearings (LRBs) on top of the substructure. For the new system, a genetic algorithm is used to optimize the dynamic parameters and distributions of dampers and LRBs. The program uses various seismic performance indicators as optimization objectives, and corresponding results are compared. It is found that the optimization procedure for maximizing the energy dissipation ratio yields the best solutions, and optimized models have consistent seismic performances under different earthquakes. Seismic performances of optimized MSCSS models with and without LRBs, as well as the traditional Mega-Sub Structure model, are evaluated and compared under El Centro wave, Taft wave and 20 other artificial waves. In both elastic and plastic analysis, the model with LRBs shows significantly smaller story drift and horizontal acceleration than those of the other two models, and fewer plastic hinges are developed during severe earthquakes. Energy analysis also shows that LRBs installed in proper locations increase the deformation and energy dissipation of dampers, thereby significantly reduce the kinetic, potential, and hysteretic energy in the structure. However, LRBs do not have to be mounted on all the additional columns. It is also demonstrated that LRBs at unfavorable locations can decrease the energy dissipation for dampers. After LRBs are installed, the optimal damping coefficient and the optimal damping exponent of dampers are reduced to produce the best damping effect.

잉어목(Cypriniformes) 황어아과(Leuciscinae)의 황어(Tribolodon hakonensis)는 회유성 어류로서 일생의 대부분을 바다에서 보내고 산란기인 3월 중순경부터 물이 맑은 하천으로 소상하여 자갈이나 모랫바닥에 집단으로 알을 낳는다. 본 연구의 목적은 5개의 microsatellite 유전자 분석을 통하여 단편화된 하천에서 황어 집단 간 유전자 흐름과 다양성을 측정하는 것이다. 강원도 삼척 오십천은 여러 대형 보에 의해 부분적으로 단편화되어 있는 중형 하천으로, 본 연구에서 하류지역과 대형 보를 여러 번 지나야 다다를 수 있는 상류지역에서 채집한 황어 개체들의 유전자형을 비교, 분석하였다. 유전자 분석 결과 상, 하류 집단들은 많은 대립인자를 공유하지만 그 빈도에 있어 다소 큰 차이를 보였다. 상류와 하류 간 유전적 분화($F_{ST}$)는 0.083 정도로 두 집단 간에는 제한된 유전적 흐름만이 존재한다고 볼 수 있다. 상류집단이 유전적으로 고립이 되어 있지만 뚜렷한 유전적 다양성의 감소나 집단의 크기 감소가 관찰되지는 않았다. 이러한 양상을 개체 수준에서 증명하기 위해 Bayesian 통계를 이용, 집단의 유전적 구조를 파악하였다. 분석 결과 삼척 오십천 개체들은 2개의 유전적 cluster로 구분할 수 있으며, 상류 집단 개체들은 모두 cluster 1에 해당하는 등 단일하게 나타났으나 하류 집단 개체 중 65 % 정도가 cluster 2에 그리고 나머지 개체들은 cluster 1에 해당하는 다양한 양상이 나타났다. 이로 미루어 두 집단은 유전적으로 분화되어 있고, 상류의 집단이 하류에 흘러들어가는 경우는 있지만 하류로부터 유전적 공급은 거의 전무한 형태로 볼 수 있고, 인위적 구조물들이 이러한 집단 구조에 영향을 미쳤을 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서 제시된 자료들은 향후 황어 집단의 보전 정책 등을 수립하는데 필요한 정보를 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

A fuzzy logic Run-by-Run(RbR) controller and an in -line wafer characteristics prediction scheme for the rapid thermal processing system have been developed for the study of process repeatability. The fuzzy logic RbR controller provides a framework for controlling a process which is subject to disturbances such as shifts and drifts as a normal part of its operation. The fuzzy logic RbR controller combines the advantages of both fuzzy logic and feedback control. It has two components : fuzzy logic diagnostic system and model modification system. At first, a neural network model is constructed with the I/O data collected during the designed experiments. The wafer state after each run is assessed by the fuzzy logic diagnostic system with featuring step. The model modification system updates the existing neural network process model in case of process shift or drift, and then select a new recipe based on the updated model using genetic algorithm. After this procedure, wafer characteristics are predicted from the in-line wafer characteristics prediction model with principal component analysis. The fuzzy logic RbR controller has been applied to the control of Titanium SALICIDE process. After completing all of the above, it follows that: 1) the fuzzy logic RbR controller can compensate the process draft, and 2) the in-line wafer characteristics prediction scheme can reduce the measurement cost and time.

This study was conducted to suggest the ecological restoration strategies for the disturbed landscapes by theoretical study. Especially, it is aimed to suggest three objectives for restoration by using native plants ; (1) prevention or reduction of wind and water erosion, (2) provision of food and cover for variety of animal species, (3) improvement of the visual or aesthetic quality of disturbed sites. The main results were summarized as follows. 1. Cooperation between restoration ecologists and restoration practitioners is needed to delineate a scientific approach to restoration ; (1) Being aware of published literature that describes similar work and/or establish general principles. (2) Preparedness to carry out proper experiments to test ideas. (3) Preparedness to monitor fundamental parameters in a restoration scheme. (4) Providing information about the behavior of species. (5) Publish results. 2. There are three models of succession in theories of plant succession. The tolerance and facilitation models were recommended to ecological restoration. The inhibition model applies in most secondary succession, but the actual species which are introduced first may inhibit the germination and growth of slower-growing species, or they may prevent the growth of other species whose propagules arrive later. 3. The objectives of erosion control, wildlife habitat provision, and visual quality improvement are not mutually exclusive. However, many revegetation practices in the past have emphasized one of these aspects at the expense of the others. 4. A native plant community can be the model of ecological restoration. By stylization/abstraction of native plant community, trying to learn the most essential characteristics of community types - environmental factors ; dominant, prevalent, and "visual essence" species composition - in order to use such information in restoration. 5. After developing mass/spaces plan, match plant communities to the mass/space plan. In utilizing community grouping, there needs aesthetic ability to understand design elements. 6. Several hydrophytes such as Pennisetum saccharifluous, Themeda triandra, Cirsium pendulum show relatively good germination rates. In case of mesophytes and xerophytes, Arundinella hina, Artemisia princeps, Oenothera odorata and legumes seem to have quick-germinating abilities at barren sites. Pinus thunbergii, Rhus chinensis, Evodia daniellii, Alnus firma and Albizzia julibrissin can be considered as "late succession" woody plants because they show low germinating rates and slow growing habitat. 7. The seeds used for restoration should be collected within a certain radius of where it will be planted. Consideration in genetic issues in the collection and use of germplasm can increase the odds for successful restoration efforts. 8. The useful model in the "drift" pattern occurs so abundantly in naturally evolving landscapes. As one species diminishes in density, a second or third species are increased. Thus, dynamic interactions between species are created. Careful using of "drift phenomenon" in planting was recommended. 9. Virtually no stand of vegetation today is immune from the introduction and/or spreading of exotic species. Therefore, the perpetuation of a restored sites requires conscious monitoring and management. Thus, management would be the most important process in ecological restoration. 10. In order to keep the sites "natural", alternative management strategies would be applied in management ; Atenative management strategies are decelerating successional process, accelerating successional processes or modifying species composition. As management tools, mechanical, chemical, biological or environmental factor manipulation, e.g., fire could be used.
