This paper proposes an efficient constraint-based optimization model for the design of 3G mobile networks, such as universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS). The model concerns about finding a set of sites for locating radio network controllers (RNCs) from a set of pre-defined candidate sites, and at the same time optimally assigning node Bs to the selected RNCs. All these choices must satisfy a set of constraints and optimize an objective function. This problem is NP-hard and consequently cannot be practically solved by exact methods for real size networks. Thus, this paper proposes a hybrid search strategy for tackling this complex and combinatorial optimization problem. The proposed hybrid search strategy is composed of three phases: A constraint satisfaction method with an embedded problem-specific goal which guides the search for a good initial solution, an optimization phase using local search algorithms, such as tabu algorithm, and a post­optimization phase to improve solutions from the second phase by using a constraint optimization procedure. Computational results show that the proposed search strategy and the model are highly efficient. Optimal solutions are always obtained for small or medium sized problems. For large sized problems, the final results are on average within $5.77\%$ to $7.48\%$ of the lower bounds.

The extraction and separation of glabridin from licorice root by HPLC was performed in this work. First, by investigating the different extraction solvents, extraction methods and extraction times, a one-hour ultrasonic extraction procedure with ethyl acetate as the extraction solvent was optimized. Then the ethyl acetate extraction was applied to RP-HPLC for separation of glabridin. The column efficiencies and resolutions were experimentally investigated with different mobile phase compositions. Baseline separation of glabridin was obtained under the mobile phase composition of 50/50 vol.% (ACN/water). The retention time of glabridin was 20.3 min. The peak of glabridin was collected from the HPLC elution for several times and identified by LC/MS. Under the optimum extraction and HPLC separation methods, 1.26 g of glabridin per kg licorice root could be extracted.

A new chiral derivatization agent with sugar moiety, 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranosyl isothiocyanate (GATC) was synthesized. Several ${\beta}-blockers$ were investigated for the possible separation of the enantiomers by reversed-phase HPLC after derivatization with this new chiral derivatization agent (GATC). GATC was reacted readily with ${\beta}-blockers$ at room temperature and the reaction mixture could directly be injected into the HPLC system. The corresponding diastereomers were well resolved on an ODS column with acetonitrile-ammonium acetate buffer as a mobile phase and monitored at UV 254 nm. The optimization of the derivatization procedure (concentration of GATC, reaction temperature and time) and HPLC conditions (pH and ionic strength of mobile phase) were investigated and compared with GITC.

Method development for complex low molecular mass (LMM) samples using reversed-phase (RP) separation conditions presents significant challenges due to the presence of many unknown analytes over wide concentration ranges. This guide aims to optimize method parameters-column length (L), temperature (T), flow rate (F), and final mobile phase conditions (Øfinal)-to maximize separation peak capacity. Validated by prior research, this protocol benefits laboratories dealing with metabolomics, natural products, and contaminant screening. This practical guide provides a structured approach to maximizing peak capacity for complex LMM separations. It complements computational optimization strategies and offers a step-by-step method development process. The Snyder-Dolan test is highlighted as essential for determining the need for gradient or isocratic elution and guiding column length decisions. The decision tree framework helps analysts prioritize variable optimization to develop effective separation methods for complex samples.

In this paper we consider the frequency assignment problem (FAP) in a cellular mobile communication system which has a maximal distance of channel interference. This special structure is observed in most cellular systems. To handle the considered FAP, we use the pattern approach which fits naturally to the problem. Based on this approach, we are able to formulate the considered FAP into a manageable optimization problem and propose a two phase heuristic algorithm for the problem. Computational experiments show that our algorithm performs much better in both solution quality and computational time than the recently developed algorithms for FAP. Since the considered FAP well reflects most cellular systems, our algorithm can be applied to many practical situations.

본 논문에서는 CDMA 단말기에서 요구하는 TIA/EIA/IS-98-D의 최소 요구 성능인 수신기의 수신 감도와 송신기의 ACPR에 영향을 주는 국부발진기의 위상 잡음에 의한 영향을 분석하고 최적화하였다. 수신기와 송신기에 공급되는 국부발진기의 위상 잡음 레벨은 900kHz 오프셋에서 각각 -138.3dBc/Hz와 -1204Bc/Hz 이하를 만족해야 됨을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 수신기의 하향 변환기에 공급되는 -138.3dB/Hz 이하의 위상 잡음 레벨을 갖는 국부발진기 신호를 송신기의 상향 변환기에 공급하면 수신 감도와 ACPR 성능이 만족된다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

A simple method was developed for the analysis of seven stilbene-type fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) in paper materials by ion-pair reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. These stilbene-type FWAs included two disulfonate, two tetrasulfonate, and three hexasulfonate compounds. After optimization of chromatographic conditions, the FWAs were satisfactorily separated using a reversed-phase column (RP-18) with the following isocratic mobile phase: methanol-water (60:40) containing 17.5 mM TBABr and 10 mM citrate buffer (pH = 7.0). The calibration plot was linear in the range from 5 to 500 ng/mL for two disulfo-FWAs and from 1 to 500 ng/mL for the other five FWAs. Precision levels of the calibration curve as indicated by RSD of response factors were 1.2 and 8.1%. Limits of quantitation (LOQ) ranged from 1.2 to 11 ng/mL.

정지상과 이동상에 대하여 선택성의 차이가 크지 않은 알킬페놀류에 대한 2차 화학평형이론을 적용하여 분리도에 미치는 pH 영향을 연구하였다. 이동상으로는 물-아세토니트릴을 사용하였으며, pH는 탄산나트륨 완충 용액으로 조절하였다. 인접한 봉우리간의 선택성을 최대로 하는 pH 값은 $k^{\prime}_{HA}/k^{\prime}_{A-}$와 평균 해리상수값(${\Delta}pK$)으로부터 구하였으며, 이 방법에 의해 결정된 최적 pH는 11.18이었다. 선택성의 효과를 최대로 얻기 위하여 pH와 용매의 선택성을 동시에 고려하였다. 결정된 최적의 pH 조건하에서 메탄올, 아세토니트릴, 테트라히드로퓨란, 물의 4성분 혼합 용매 시스템을 이용하였고, 통계적인 심플렉스 방법인 overlapping resolution maps(ORM)을 사용하여 최적 용매 조성을 결정하였다. 이 방법에 의하여 결정된 최적 용매 조성비는 MeOH : ACN : THF = 14.4 : 81.8 : 2.8이었다.

제초제로 사용되는 11종의 티오카바메이트의 역상 액체 크로마토그래피 분석법을 개발하고자 용리거동과 최적 분리조건을 찾는 방법을 연구하였다. 등용매 용리법으로 심플렉스 통계 기법을 도입하여 최적화를 연구하였다. 분리도의 정량적인 평가는 COF 및 ORM 방법을 이용하였다. 용매조성에 따른 용리순서의 변화가 심한 티오카바메이트 제초제의 경우에는 ORM 방법으로 구한 분리조건이 COF보다 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. ORM 방법에서의 용매 조성비는 메탄올 : 아세토니트릴 : 테트라히드로푸란 : 물이 16 : 29 : 2 : 53의 비율이었다. 또한 본 연구에서는 COF 방법의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 보정된 COF 방법 $(\overline{COF})$을 제시하였고, 그 때의 이동상의 조성비는 메탈올 : 아세토니트릴 : 물이 29.5 : 21.5 : 49.0이었으며, ORM 방법으로 구한 용매 조성비에서의 크로마토그램과 거의 유사한 분리도를 얻었다.

There has been a tremendous need for dual homing cell switch assignment problems where calling volume and patterns are different at different times of the day. This problem of assigning cells to switches in the planning phase of mobile networks consists in finding an assignment plan which minimizes the communication costs taking into account some constraints such as capacity of switches. This optimization problem is known to be difficult to solve, such that heuristic methods are usually utilized to find good solutions in a reasonable amount of time. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary approach, based on the genetic algorithm paradigm, for solving this problem. Simulation results confirm the appropriateness and effectiveness of this approach which yields solutions of good quality.
