In this study, we propose the method of optimally selecting material of front pillar (A-pillar) and package tray for minimizing weight while satisfying vehicle requirements on static stiffness and dynamic stiffness. First, we formulate a material selection optimization problem. Next, we establish the CAE procedure of evaluating static stiffness and dynamic stiffness. Then, to enhance the efficiency of design work, we integrate and automate the established CAE procedure using a commercial process integration and design optimization (PIDO) tool, PIAnO. For effective optimization, we adopt the approach of metamodel based approximate optimization. As a sampling method, an orthogonal array (OA) is used for selecting sampling points. The response values are evaluated at the sampling points and then these response values are used to generate a metamodel of each response using the radial basis function regression (RBFr). Using the RBFr models, optimization is carried out an evolutionary algorithm that can handle discrete design variables. Material optimization result reveals that the weight is reduced by 49.8% while satisfying all the design constraints.

본 연구는 권취식 측창을 갖는 아치형 단동 플라스틱 온실 내 강제환기장치 설치 및 운용, 환기 성능 개선방안 등을 제안하기 위해 온실 내부에 유동팬과 배기팬을 설치하여 강제환기장치 사용에 따른 온실 내부기온 강하 특성을 정량적으로 조사하였다. 시험은 3가지 환기 조건(측창, 측창+순환팬, 측창+순환팬+배기팬)에서 수행되었다. 각 조건 데이터로거를 이용하여 환기 시작과 동시에 온실 내외부 기온 및 외부환경 변화를 측정·기록하였고, 환기 방식별 기온차 변화의 평균값으로 부터 정규기온차를 계산하여 기온 강하 효과를 비교하였다. 오전(11:00-12:00)에는 환기 방식에 상관없이 환기 초반 정규기온차가 일시적으로 증가했다가 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 강제환기장치가 더 많이 사용될수록 최대 정규기온차는 1.158에서 1.037로 감소하였고 최대 정규기온차에 도달하는 시간도 340초에서 110초로 단축되었다. 강제환기장치의 사용은 정규기온차가 0.8까지 감소하는데 소요된 시간을 1,030초에서 550초로, 0.6까지는 1,610초에서 915초로, 0.4까지는 2,315초에서 1,360초로, 자연환기의 약60% 수준으로 감소시켰다. 오후(14:00-15:00)에는 정규기온차의 증가가 관측되지 않았지만, 환기 시작과 동시에 기온차가 감소하기 시작했다. 또한 강제환기장치가 더 많이 사용될수록 정규기온차가 0.8까지 내려가는 시간을 560초에서 345초로, 0.6까지는 825초에서 540초로, 0.4까지는 560초에서 345초로, 약70% 수준으로 감소시켰다. 따라서, 보다 효과적이고 경제적인 환기를 위해 강제환기장치는 오전과 같이 열부하가 높은 환경에서 적극적으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

In this paper, we propose a Peak to Average power Ratio(PAR) reduction algorithm by using the Adaptive Block Coding(ABC). The problem of a PAR due to each sub-carrier overlap phenomenon in the OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system causes the an increasing in the complexity of the A/D converter in the transmitter and a reduction in the efficiency of the amplifier. The proposed ABC algorithm selects the block coding which provides the lowest PAR value based on the various check bit position. It is shown that a PAR of the ABC algorithm can be reduced from 8.35dB to 6.02dB in 16 sub-carriers compared to theconventional block coding scheme. We also extended the ABC algorithm to a larger number of sub-carriers and estimated their PAR values.

There have been little reports on the degradation of medium-carbon steel tubes served at high temperature for a long period. The purpose of this research was to provide the information of the proper replacement span of the tubes with the new ones. We investigated the medium-carbon steel tubes which were used at petrochemical plant for about 50,000 hrs to examine their mechanical properties and microstructures. Experimental results showed that the tubes satisfied the specification of ASTM despite such a long period of service, but mechanical properties, especially charpy impact values, were reduced. It concludes that the tubes on service at the plants needs a periodical inspection.

Korea is a small country with relatively large mountainous areas and has many difficulties from planning to completing one road. Maintaining a completed road presents even more difficulties. presently, in estimating design elements, the result varies according to the engineer and there are many cases that question the reliability of the results. Therefore, in this study, the alignment of highway was sampled using by the centerline path, the design elements of horizontal alignment were reduced by applying the Least Squares Method, and the accuracy was analyzed. By this method, IP, IA, R, $\Delta$R and A-parameter were also determined. By observing relatively long straight sections, the approximate values could be estimated, and particularly, the considerably accurate value of A-parameter was determined. This study, using the Least Squares Method, aims to contribute to the development of the alignment examination in frequent traffic accident regions.

This paper presents a prediction structure with a Hybrid Dynamic Branch Prediction (HDBP) scheme which decreases the number of stalls. In the application, a branch history register is dynamically adjusted to produce more unique index values of pattern history table (PHT). The number of stalls is also reduced by using the modified gshare predictor with a long history register folding scheme. The aliasing rate decreased to 44.1% and the miss prediction rate decreased to 19.06% on average compared with the gshare branch predictor, one of the most popular two-level branch predictors. Moreover, Compared with the gshare, an average improvement of 1.28% instructions per cycle (IPC) was achieved. Thus, with regard to the accuracy of branch prediction, the HDBP is remarkably useful in boosting the overall performance of the superscalar processor.

Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the magnitude of artifacts produced by gutta-percha and metal posts on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans obtained with different tube currents and with or without metal artifact reduction (MAR). Materials and Methods: A tooth was inserted in a dry human mandible socket, and CBCT scans were acquired after root canal instrumentation, root canal filling, and metal post placement with various tube currents with and without MAR activation. The artifact magnitude was assessed by the standard deviation (SD) of gray values and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) at the various distances from the tooth. Data were compared using multi-way analysis of variance. Results: At all distances, a current of 4 mA was associated with a higher SD and a lower CNR than 8 mA or 10 mA (P<0.05). For the metal posts without MAR, the artifact magnitude as assessed by SD was greatest at 1.5 cm or less (P<0.05). When MAR was applied, SD values for distances 1.5 cm or closer to the tooth were reduced (P<0.05). MAR usage did not influence the magnitude of artifacts in the control and gutta-percha groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: Increasing the tube current from 4 mA to 8 mA may reduce the magnitude of artifacts from metal posts. The magnitude of artifacts arising from metal posts was significantly higher at distances of 1.5 cm or less than at greater distances. MAR usage improved image quality near the metal post, but had no significant influence farther than 1.5 cm from the tooth.

Among oil-degrading microorganisms isolated from oil-polluted industrial areas, one yeast strain showed high degradation activity of aliphatic hydrocarbons. From the analyses of 18S rRNA sequences, fatty acid, coenzyme Q system, G+C content of DNA, and biochemical characteristics, the strain was identified as Yarrowia lipolytica 180. Y. lipolytica 180 degraded 94% of aliphatic hydrocarbons in minimal salts medium containing 0.2% (v/v) of Arabian light crude oil within 3 days at 25$^{\circ}C$. Optimal growth conditions for temperature, pH, NaCl concentration, and crude oil concentration were 30$^{\circ}C$, pH 5-7, 1%, and 2% (v/v), respectively. Y. lipolytica 180 reduced surface tension when cultured on hydrocarbon substrates (1%, v/v), and the measured values of the surface tension were in the range of 51 to 57 dynes/cm. Both the cell free culture broth and cell debris of Y. lipolytica 180 were capable of emulsifying 2% (v/v) crude oil by itself. They were also capable of degrading crude oil (2%). The strain showed a cell surface hydrophobicity higher than 90%, which did not require hydrocarbon substrates for its induction. These results suggest that Y. lipolytica has high oil-degrading activity through its high emulsifying activity and cell hydrophobicity, and further indicate that the cell surface is responsible for the metabolism of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
