Response surface methodology was used to monitor the characteristics of Corni fructus. A maximum electron donating ability of 81.27% was obtained at 119.71 W of microwave power, 7.71% of ethanol concentration, and 4.21 min of extraction time. The maximum inhibitory effect on tyrosinase was 105.92% at 143.36 W of microwave power, 58.19% ethanol concentration, and 6.71 min of extraction time. The maximum superoxide dismutase like activity was 87.08% under the extraction conditions of 107.33 W of microwave power, 96.14% ethanol concentration, and 31.49 min of extraction time. The total polyphenol content showed a maximum of 475.86 mg% at 140.29 W of microwave power, 27.44% ethanol concentration, and 58.69 min of extraction time. Based on the superimposition of four-dimensional RSM data regarding the electron-donating ability, inhibitory effect on tyrosinase, superoxide dismutase like activity, and total polyphenol content, the optimum ranges of extraction conditions were found to be at 78~98 W of microwave power, 3~33% ethanol concentration, and 3.6~9 min of extraction time.

This paper was study to develop an extract of Elaeagnus multiflora as a beverage component, and was part of a broader research project for at the development of processed foods using extract of Elaeagnus multiflora. Acceptable mixing properties of the beverage were significantly related to brix values, pH, total acidity, and total phenol contents. When brown rice vinegar was used as a supplement, the vinegar contributed only 1% of total acidity content, and the brix was below 5% of acceptable level. Maximal total acidity of the mixed beverage was attained which added 19.2%(v/v) of Elaeagnus multiflora extract and 7.6%(v/v) of brown rice vinegar. The mixed beverage contributed 0.88% of the total acidity content. The maximum condition of brix(11.5) of the mixed beverage was arrived to 24.7%(v/v) of Elaeagnus multiflora extract and 4.9%(v/v) of brown rice vinegar. The maximum polyphenol contents of beverage(14.47 mg%) was achieved which added 25.0%(v/v) of Elaeagnus multiflora extract and 4.3%(v/v) of brown rice vinegar.

Statistical design of experiments was used to optimize the MOF-5 synthesis process. A mixture design was employed to optimize precursor concentration. The optimal composition of three chemical materials, terephthalic acid, zinc acetate dihydrate, and N,N-dimethylformamide for MOF-5 synthesis was determined by extreme vertices design methods as follows; 1 mol : 2.7 mol : 40 mol. A multilevel factorial design was selected to screen the significance of synthesis reaction conditions such as temperature, time, and stirring speed. Statistical analysis results suggested excluding stirring speed from further investigation. Using a central composition design, the synthesis time and temperature were optimized. The quadratic model equation was derived from 13 synthesis experiments. The model predicted that MOF-5 synthesized at 119 ℃ for 10.4 h had the highest crystallinity.

When fuzzy logic controllers which are designed based on plant models and intuitive base are applied to real plants, the control systems may not give satisfactory control results due to the modeling error and the lack of knowledge on the plants. In that case. the controller must be retuned by adjusting the control parameters; this retuning process may require a large number of trial-and-error evaluations and thus much time and cost. In order to resolve these problems, we propose a systematic and efficient procedure for designing a fuzzy logic controller using response surface methodology. First wc select the initial optimal conditions of control parameters using a genetic algorithm, in which a nominal plant model with intrinsic modeling errors is used. And then we determine the tinal optimal conditions of the control parameters using response surface methodology. Computer simulations are performed to verify the capability of the proposed method.

Response surface methodology was used for monitoring and optimizing the extraction conditions of campesterol, stigmasterol, ${\beta}$ -sitosterol, and total sterols from the safflower seed. The conditions of phytosterol extraction were optimized by using central composite design with the temperature(35∼75$^{\circ}C$, X$_1$), the time (1∼11hr, X$_2$), and the preheating temperature(60∼100$^{\circ}C$, X$_3$) as three variables. The extraction conditions for maximum campesterol content were 59.01$^{\circ}C$(X$_1$), 2.88hr(X$_2$), and 75.04$^{\circ}C$(X$_3$). But stigmasterol, ${\beta}$ -sitosterol and total sterols were not significantly different under designed extraction condition in this study. Besides, oil was extracted from safflower seed at various conditions and yields were 23.44% at 35$^{\circ}C$ and 20.05% at 80$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Total tocopherol content increased from 0.172% to 0.207% as the extraction temperature increased from 35$^{\circ}C$ to 80$^{\circ}C$. A structured lipids(SL) was synthesized enzymatically by extracted safflower oil and conjugated linoleic acid(CLA). After 24hr reaction, 31.79 mol% CLA was incorporated into the extracted safflower oil.

In this study, the O/W emulsification processes with the natural surfactants that were extracted from Medicago sativa L. and Sapindus saponaria L. as emulsifiers were optimized using the central composite design-response surface methodology (CCD-RSM). Herein, independent parameters were the amounts of mixed emulsifiers, the mixing ratio of natural emulsifiers (soapberry saponin/alfalfa saponin), and the emulsification time, whereas the reaction parameters were the emulsion stability index (ESI), mean droplet size (MDS), and antioxidant activity (DPPH radical scanvenging activity). Through basic experiments, the ranges of operation variables for the amount of mixed emulsifiers, the mixing ratio of natural emulsifiers, and the emulsification time were 12~14 wt%, 30~70%, and 20~30 min, respectively. The optimum operation variables deduced from CCD-RSM for the amount of mixed emulsifiers, the mixing ratio of natural emulsifiers, and the emulsification time were 13.2 wt%, 44.2%, and 25.8 min, respectively. Under these optimal conditions, the expected values of the ESI, MDS, and antioxidant activity were 88.7%, 815.5 nm, and 38.7%, respectively. And, the measured values of the ESI, MDS, and antioxidant activity were 90.6%, 830.2 nm, and 39.6%, respectively, and the average experimental error for validating the accuracy was about 2.1%. Therefore, it was possible to design an optimization process for evaluating the O/W emulsion process using CCD-RSM.

This research was focused to apply response surface methodology for optimization of bio-methane production by biogas upgrading process. Methane concentration(Y1) and methane efficiency(Y2) on biogas upgrading process were mathematically described as being modeled by the use of the Box-Behnken design on response surface methodology. The results of ANOVA(analysis of variance) about models, the probability value of the methane concentration and methane recovery response surface model are 0.0001 and 0.0001, respectively and coefficient of determination($R^2$) are 0.9788 and 0.9710, respectively. The response surface model is proved of high reliability and suitability. The operation pressure had the greatest influence to methane concentration than other operation parameters and the PSA rotary valve velocity had the greatest influence to methane recovery than other operation parameters. Optimal condition of biogas upgrading process for production of $100Nm^3/hr$ bio-methane were operation pressure 8.0bar and outlet flow rate 31.55RPM, respectively. At that operation condition the methane concentration of bio-methane was 97.13% and methane recovery in biogas upgrading process was 75.89%.

Acidic hydrolysis conditions prior to HPLC analysis of plant flavonoids was investigated by response surface methodology (RSM), using leaves of Ginkgo biloba L. Ten hydrolysis conditions using 0.5-2.5 M HCl and 0.5-2.5 hr hydrolysis time were chosen to form a central composite rotatable design (CCRD), and optimization by RSM was achieved by measuring myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol levels by HPLC. Optimum hydrolysis condition was 1.5 M HCl for 1.5 hr. The levels of flavonoids obtained under the condition were in good agreement with predicted maximum values, with yields of more than 95%. These optimum hydrolysis condition was applied to analysis of flavonoid content in the leaves of Camellia sinensis, Ficus carica, and Sageretia theezans.

본 논문은 외판원 문제(TSP: Traveling Salesman Problem)를 이용하여 로봇중심의 FMC(Flexible Manufacturing Cell)에서 반송 로봇의 작업순서를 설계하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해, 먼저 다수의 설비와 반송 로봇으로 구성된 대표적인 로봇 중심의 FMC를 가상으로 설계한 후, 실험계획법을 이용하여 다양한 조건에서의 주요 반응변수들의 인과관계를 규명하였다. 실험결과, 처리량, 반송로봇의가동률, 그리고 Buffer의 평균 대기 작업물의 수가 주요 반응변수들로 선정되었으며, 이를 기반으로 순서기반 조합최적화 문제인 TSP로 로봇 작업순서를 설계하였다. 제안한 방법과 기존의 방법을 비교하기 위해서 시뮬레이션을 수행 한 결과 제안된 TSP 방법이 기존의 방법 보다 반송 로봇의 교착 (Deadlock) 상태를 방지하여 처리량 등 주요 반응변수들 모두를 향상 시키는 결과를 가져왔다. 더불어,이 방법은 본 연구에서 제시한 FMC 뿐 아니라 반도체나 LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) 생산 공정과 같이 반송 로봇에 의해 구성되어 있는 장치 산업분야에 적용가능하다는 측면에서 큰 효과가 기대된다.
