Emerging technologies have significant implications in establishing competitive advantages and are characterized by continuous rapid development. Efficient benchmarking is more and more important in the development of emerging technologies. Similar input level and importance are two necessary criteria need to be considered for emerging technology's benchmarking. In this study, we proposed a sequential use of self-organizing map(SOM), data envelopment analysis(DEA) and analytical hierarchy process(AHP) method for the stepwise benchmarking of emerging technology. The proposed method uses two-level SOM to cluster the emerging technologies with similar required input levels together, then, in each cluster, uses DEA-BCC model to evaluate the efficiencies of the emerging technologies and do tier analysis to form tiers. On each tier, AHP rating method is used to calculate each emerging technology's importance priority. The optimal benchmarking path of each cluster is established by connecting the emerging technologies with the highest importance priority. In order to validate the proposed method, we apply it to a case of biotechnology. The result shows the proposed method can overcome difficulties in benchmarking, select suitable benchmarking targets and make the benchmarking process more efficient and reasonable.

This paper represents that an enhanced genetic algorithm (EGA) is applied to optimal design of a squeeze film damper (SFD) to minimize the maximum transmitted load between the bearing and foundation in the operational speed range. A general genetic algorithm (GA) is well known as a useful global optimization technique for complex and nonlinear optimization problems. The EGA consists of the GA to optimize multi-modal functions and the simplex method to search intensively the candidate solutions by the GA for optimal solutions. The performance of the EGA with a benchmark function is compared to them by the IGA (Immune-Genetic Algorithm) and SQP (Sequential Quadratic Programming). The radius, length and radial clearance of the SFD are defined as the design parameters. The objective function is the minimization of a maximum transmitted load of a flexible rotor system with the nonlinear SFDs in the operating speed range. The effectiveness of the EGA for the optimal design of the SFD is discussed from a numerical example.

Pfair 알고리즘은 다중 프로세서 환경에서 경성 실시간 태스크 집합을 스케줄링 하는 최적 알고리즘인데, 고정된 퀀텀 크기를 기반으로 한다. 최근 mode change 환경에서 도달 함수를 이용하여 최적 퀀텀을 동적으로 결정하는 방법들이 제안되었는데, 이 방법들에서는 최적 퀀텀을 구하기 위해 순차 탐색을 해야 되는 경우가 많이 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 개선된 도달 함수를 이용하여 최적 퀀텀을 보다 빠르게 구할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a scheme to design optimal placement of phase-shifting transformers for power system congestion problems. A good design of phase-shifting transformers placement can improve total transfer capability in interconnected systems. In order to find the optimal placement of phase-shifting transformers, the power flows of the interesting transmission lines are evaluated using sequential quadratic programming technique. This algorithm considers power balance equations and security constraints such as voltage magnitudes and transmission line capacities. The proposed scheme is tested in 10 machines 39 buses and IEEE 57 buses systems. Test result shows that the proposed method can find the optimal placement of phase-shifting transformers to solver power system congestion problems.

An experimental method denoted as Impulse Method is proposed as a cost-effective non-destructive technique for the on-site evaluation of concrete elastic modulus in existing structures: on the basis of Hertz's quasi-static theory of elastic impact and with the aid of a simple portable testing equipment, it makes it possible to collect series of local measurements of the elastic modulus in an easy way and in a very short time. A Hypothesis Testing procedure is developed in order to provide a statistical tool for processing the data collected by means of the Impulse Method and assessing the possible occurrence of significant variations in the elastic modulus without exceeding some prescribed error probabilities. It is based on a particular formulation of the renowned sequential probability ratio test and reveals to be optimal with respect to the error probabilities and the required number of observations, thus further improving the time-effectiveness of the Impulse Method. The results of an experimental investigation on different types of plain concrete prove the validity of the Impulse Method in estimating the unknown value of the elastic modulus and attest the effectiveness of the proposed Hypothesis Testing procedure in identifying significant variations in the elastic modulus.

The location selection for nuclear power plants (NPP) is a strategic decision, which has significant impact operation of the plant and sustainable development of the region. Further, the ranking of the alternative locations and selection of the most suitable and efficient locations for NPPs is an important multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this paper, the non-sequential Monte Carlo probabilistic method and the Latin hypercube sampling probabilistic method are used to evaluate and select the optimal locations for NPP. These locations are identified by the power plant's onsite loads and the average of the lowest number of relay protection after the NPP's trip, based on electricity considerations. The results obtained from the proposed method indicate that in selecting the optimal location for an NPP after a power plant trip with the purpose of internal onsite loads of the power plant and the average of the lowest number of relay protection power system, on the IEEE RTS 24-bus system network given. This paper provides an effective and systematic study of the decision-making process for evaluating and selecting optimal locations for an NPP.

The design optimization of the plate heat exchanger with staggered pin arrays for a fixed volume is performed numerically. The flow and thermal fields are assumed to be a streamwise-periodic flow and heat transfer with constant wall temperature and they are solved by using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by using the sequential linear programming (SLP) method and the weighting method is used for solving the multi-objective problem. The results show that the optimal design variables for the weighting coefficient of 0.5 are as follows; S=6.497mm, P=5.496mm, $D_1=0.689mm$, and $D_2=2.396mm$. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented.

압축된 동영상에서 인덱싱을 위한 장면전환 검출기법에서 기존의 방법들은 실험에 의한 고정 임계값을 설정하여 임계값 보다 크면 장면전환이라고 판단해왔다. 기존의 고정 임계값을 적용시켰을 때는 플래쉬나 카메라 움직임 등에 의한 오검출이 많은 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 장면 전환 검출을 위한 임계값을 동영상 특성 중, 장면전환점간격을 이용하여 임계값을 동적으로 변화시키는 방법이며, 고정 임계값을 사용하는 경우보다 오검출을 줄이는 향상된 장면전환 검출기법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 동영상 특성을 통계적으로 분석하여, 기존의 고정임계값과 제안한 동적임계값을 사용한 결과 값을 비교분석 하였다. 제안한 방법은 기존의 방법보다 30%정도 오검출이 줄었다.

D-최적 등을 위시한 최적실험은 비선형모형인 경우 추정을 하여야할 모수에 의존하는 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서 기본적으로 문헌에서는 모수추정을 위해서는 순차실험을 제안한다. 본 연구에서는 2단계 실험설계를 모수추정의 사례를 포함한 다양한 환경 하에서의 사용방법을 알아보았다. 본 연구에서 제안한 내용은 단계의 수나 구체적인 실험기준의 숫자에 상관없이 적용되는 범용적인 기준이다. 본 연구는 2단계 실험에서 3개 이상의 실험목적을 가지고 있는 경우 하이브리드(hybrid)방법을 제안하였다. 모든 실험은 근사실험설계의 형태로 논의되었다.
