This paper presents the optimization technique to select the design parameters of a hydraulic servo valve using the genetic algorithm. The dynamic performance is governed by the design parameters of the servo valve and they may be select by repeated number of simulations such that the desired performance is obtained. Using the genetic algorithm to optimize the design parameters, effective method is suggested. This method can be used for the design of the hydraulic systems as well as the servo valve.

In order to design fractional factorial experiments which include some debarred combinations, we should select defining contrasts so that those combinations are to be excluded. Choi(1999) presented a method of selectign defining contrasts to construct orthogonal 3-level fractional factorial experiments which exclude some debarred combinations. In this paper, we extend Choi's method to general p-level fractional factorial experiments to select defining contrasts which cold exclude some debarred combinations.

Different to other social infrastructures, bridge elements or bridges can be damaged or collapsed and this may cause death toll and severe social and economical damage, bridges should be managed to maintain a safety level. Diverse strengthening methods is developed to improve a deteriorated bridge performance up to original design level. But rational decision-making process and methodologies to select a optimum strengthening method are absence yet in Korea. This paper therefore derived items and proposed methodologies for quantity estimate considering uncertainty to select a optimum strengthening method among conceptually designed alternatives. And also, to demonstrate the applicability and verification of the proposed approach, it was applied to select the optimum strengthening method for the deteriorated T-shape concrete girder bridge. The model and the procedure can greatly contribute to the uncertainty-oriented alternative selection.

It is well known that discard of seminal plasma from the semen and separation of motile sperm should be preceded before insemination for IUI or IVF. Till now, more than ten kinds of semen treatment methods have been developed. Of those, swim-up and Percoll methods have been used widely in ART laboratories as a routine semen treatment methods because of its advantages. However, there are reports that Percoll can make a genetic trouble because of its chemical structure and therefore the necessity has been arisen to substitute Percoll for other equivalent materials. This study was performed to evaluate the effects of three different sperm preparation methods (swim-up, Percoll and Sil-Select) on sperm motility, sperm recovery rate and fertilization rate. Also, the feasibility of using Sil-Select instead of Percoll in ART was evaluated. Each semen samples were divided into three fractions and motile sperm were recovered by swim-up, Percoll and Sil-Select gradient centrifugation methods. Normal and sub-normal criteria of fifteen semen samples and seventeen IVF cycles were included in these study. As results, no significant difference was found in sperm recovery rate in normal semen treated by a Swim-up, Percoll and Sil-Select method ($13.2{\times}10^6,\;17.5{\times}10^6\;and\;17.7{\times}10^6$ respectively). The initial sperm motility was 61.9% and this increased to 87.1%, 92.6% and 89.5% through Swim-up, Percoll and Sil-Select treatment, respectively. Higher motility was observed in Percoll and Sil-Select treated groups (81.5%, 79.2%, respectively) than swim-up group (66.8%) after incubation for 24hrs. In sub-normal group, sperm recovery rates were higher in Sil-Select group $(2.9{\times}10^6)$ than Percoll gradients group $(1.8{\times}10^6)$. In IVF cycles, the outcomes of fertilization using sperm treated by swim-up and Sil-Select group were similar (82.2%, 79.7% respectively). In conclusion, our results indicate that Sil-Select can be used as a substitute material for sperm preparation instead of Percoll.

Piecewise linear diode models are widely used for large-signal circuit analyses, especially power electronic circuit simulations. When using a piecewise linear diode model for simulation, a switching method to select a proper one among linear models is needed. The conventional switching method keeps the previous ON, OFF state information, and applies different switching conditions according to the state. However, this method has difficulties especially in extending to multi-piecewise linear models. This paper presents a switching method which appropriately divides the v-i plane into regions and select a linear model according to the region where the operating point(the voltage and the current of the diode) belongs. This switching method is easily extended to multi-Piecewise linear models. An example using the tableau analysis and the backward Euler integration is presented for verification.

We describe a new active learning method in conditional random fields (CRFs) framework for keyphrase extraction. To save elaboration in annotation, we use diversity and representative measure. We select high diversity training candidates by sentence confidence value. We also select high representative candidates by clustering the part-of-speech patterns of contexts. In the experiments using dialog corpus, our method achieves 86.80% and saves 88% training corpus compared with those of supervised method. From the results of experiment, we can see that the proposed method shows improved performance over the previous methods. Additionally, the proposed method can be applied to other applications easily since its implementation is independent on applications.

In the Past, The selection of individual method of construction was done by head of construction site or an experienced person very frequently. By doing this, The wrong selection of construction method without exact adjudication of construction site situation lead to increasing of cost and extension of construction term. Finally it will effect all over the construction process. Especially, In case of underground construction in the beginning, there are a lot of a variable factor and it also effect on the entire construction process and it need very careful process. The purpose of this study is to present the best suitable methodology for selection of construction method by considering potential risk of construction method and variables together with external condition for underground construction. The purpose of this study Is to select the most suitable construction method by analysing potential conditions(construction site situation and client request in designing ) To do this, We prepared arrangement rule to arrange the conditions for construction method. And thin make checklist of the analyzing construction method. Though above process, To expect the risk of individual construction method using above risk checklist and using Analytic Hierarchy process among Multiple-Criteria Decision making, the professional opinions is to be adapted. By doing this, it can lead and select the most suitable construction method considering the data which get from risk density test.

The mesh selectivity of the drum net fish trap for elkhorn sculpin(Alcichthys alcicornis) in the estern sea of Korea was described. The selection curve for the elkhorn sculpin caught from the experiments between June 2003 and December 2003 was by SELECT(Share Each Length Class's Catch Total)model and by Kitahaa's method to a polynomial equation and two parameter logistic selection curve. The selection curve by SELECT model showed to be equal probability of entrance of the elkhorn sculpin in the large(55mm) and small(20mm) mesh traps by minimum AIC (Akaike Information Criteria). The equation of selectivity curve obtained by Kitahara's method using a logistic function with least square method was $s(R)\;=\;\frac{1}{1+exp(-0.3545R+2.141)$, where R=1/m, and/and m are total length and mesh size, respectively. The mesh selectivity curve showed that the current regulated mesh size(35mm) for the trap was corresponded to 21.4cm in the $L_{50}$of the selection curve for the elkhorn sculpin.
