In this paper, analytical modeling of lift and drag forces in permanent magnet electrodynamic suspension systems (PM EDSs) are presented. After studying the impacts of PM dimensions on the permanent magnetic field and developed lift force, it is indicated that there is an optimum PM length in a specified thickness for a maximum lift force. Therefore, the optimum PM length for achieving maximum lift force is obtained. Afterward, an objective design optimization is proposed to increase the lift force and to decrease the material cost of the system by using Genetic Algorithm. The results confirm that the required values of the lift force can be achieved; while, reducing the system material cost. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experimental tests are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the PM EDS system model and the proposed optimization method. Finally, a number of design guidelines are extracted.

These experiments were conducted to search for the optimum media size and composition for culture of Lentinula edodes (JNM3022). Considering the incubation period and the successful culturing rate, the optimum media size was length 25 $cm{\times}diameter$ 14 cm (weight 2.5 kg). The saturation moisture amount of Oak sawdust was 251 ml/100 g. It is a half of pine sawdust 495 ml/100 g. Considering the hypha growing speed and hypha density, the optimum media composition was Oak sawdust 80%+ wheat bran 20% and Oak sawdust 80%+ rice bran 20% In 10 treatments of media composition. The optimum moisture amount of media for growing Lentinula edodes (JNM3022) was 55%. Injection pipe with 20 holes in media was reduced the incubation periods to 11 days when 20cm length media and 32 days when 30cm length media compare to control. The best method for browning media surface was change temperature condition above $10^{\circ}C$ and punching the vinyl bag. This treat could shortened the browning periods to 54 days.

Toward the development of practical methods for observed data oriented bispectral estimation, an automatic means for determining the smoothing bandwidth of bispectral windows is proposed, that can also provide an associated optimum bispectral estimate of stationary non-Gaussian signals, systematically only from an observed time series datum of finite length. For the conventional non-parametric bispectral estimation, the MSE (mean squared error) of the normalized estimate is reviewed under a certain mixing condition and sufficient data length, mainly from the viewpoint of the inverse relation between its bias and variance with respect to the smoothing bandwidth. Based on the fundamental relation, a systematic method not only for determining the bandwidth, but also for obtaining the optimum bispectral estimate is presented by newly introducing a MSE evaluation index of the estimate only from an observed time series datum of finite length. The effectiveness and fundamental features of the proposed method are illustrated by the basic results of numerical experiments.

The role of the injector as an acoustic resonator is studied for the high performance rocket engine adopting the gas-liquid scheme injector. Acoustic behavior in the combustor with single injector is investigated numerically adopting linear acoustic analysis for cold condition. Acoustic-damping effect of the injector is evaluated by damping factor as a function of the injector length. From the numerical results, it is found that the injector can play a significant role in acoustic damping and the optimum length of the injector corresponds to half of a full wavelength of the longitudinal mode with the acoustic frequency to be damped in the chamber. In baffled chamber, the optimum lengths of the injector are calculated as a function of baffle length for both cold and hot conditions.

The finite schematic eye based on spherical aberration and Stiles-Crawford effect is designed by an optimization method. It consists of four aspherical surfaces. The radius of curvature, thickness, asphericity, and spherical aberration are used as constraints in the optimization process. Stiles-Crawford effect in the pupil is considered as a weighting value for optimum design. The designed schematic eye has effective focal length of 20.8169 mm, back focal length of 15.4820 mm, front focal length of -13.8528 mm, and image distance of 15.7150 mm. When the pupil diameter is 4 mm, the diameter of entrance pupil and exit pupil are 4.6919 mm and 4.2395 mm, respectively. From the data of 75 measured Korean emmetropic eyes, this finite schematic eye is designed first in Korea.

This paper presented an optimum design of a perpendicular PMDSLSM (Permanent Magnet Double-sided Linear Synchronous Motor) to minimize the detent force. As an optimum method, the response surface method was used and 3D finite element method for the calculation. The design variables of the machine were the primary core width and thickness, and magnet width, thickness and length. Object functions were to minimize the detent force and maximize the thrust of the basic model. The results showed that the thrust force of the optimum design increased from 82.1N to 90.2N and detent force decreased from 15.2N to 2.8N, respectively, compared to the basic model.

This paper describes the optimum design for journal bearings by using simulated annealing method. Simulated annealing algorithm is an optimization technique to calculate global and local optimum solutions. Dynamic characteristics of the journal bearing are calculated by using finite difference method (FDM), and these values are used for the procedure of journal bearing optimization. The objective is to minimize the resonance response (Q factor) of the simple rotor system supported by the journal bearings. Bearing clearance and length to diameter ratio are used as the design variables.

Optimum cost design of columns subjected to axial force and uniaxial bending moment is presented in this paper. In the formulation of the optimum design problem, the height and width of the column, diameter and number of reinforcement bars are treated as design variables. The design constraints are implemented according to ACI 318-08 and studies in the literature. The objective function is taken as the cost of unit length of the column consisting the cost of concrete, steel, and shuttering. The solution of the design problem is obtained using the artificial bee colony algorithm which is one of the recent additions to metaheuristic techniques. The Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm is imitated the foraging behaviors of bee swarms. In application of this algorithm to the constraint problem, Deb's constraint handling method is used. Obtained results showed that the optimum value of numerical example is nearly same with the existing values in the literature.

The paper is mainly concerned with the applications tn develop an optimum structural design procedure for hatchcoverless container ship. L.R rules are applied to determine the scantlings of the longitudinal members. As for an object function of midship section design, the total sectional area of all the longitudinal members for midship section is selected. The SUMT procedure combined with direct search method is applied to the solution of nonlinear optimum design problem to find a optimum midship section arrangement. The results of optimization study show that the weight of model ship may be saved about 8.0% per unit length.
