Fuzzy logic based Control Theory has gained much interest in the industrial world, thanks to its ability to formalize and solve in a very natural way many problems that are very difficult to quantify at an analytical level. This paper shows a solution for treating membership function inside hardware circuits. The proposed hardware structure optimizes the memoried size by using particular form of the vectorial representation. The process of memorizing fuzzy sets, i.e. their membership function, has always been one of the more problematic issues for the hardware implementation, due to the quite large memory space that is needed. To simplify such an implementation, it is commonly [1,2,8,9,10,11] used to limit the membership functions either to those having triangular or trapezoidal shape, or pre-definite shape. These kinds of functions are able to cover a large spectrum of applications with a limited usage of memory, since they can be memorized by specifying very few parameters ( ight, base, critical points, etc.). This however results in a loss of computational power due to computation on the medium points. A solution to this problem is obtained by discretizing the universe of discourse U, i.e. by fixing a finite number of points and memorizing the value of the membership functions on such points [3,10,14,15]. Such a solution provides a satisfying computational speed, a very high precision of definitions and gives the users the opportunity to choose membership functions of any shape. However, a significant memory waste can as well be registered. It is indeed possible that for each of the given fuzzy sets many elements of the universe of discourse have a membership value equal to zero. It has also been noticed that almost in all cases common points among fuzzy sets, i.e. points with non null membership values are very few. More specifically, in many applications, for each element u of U, there exists at most three fuzzy sets for which the membership value is ot null [3,5,6,7,12,13]. Our proposal is based on such hypotheses. Moreover, we use a technique that even though it does not restrict the shapes of membership functions, it reduces strongly the computational time for the membership values and optimizes the function memorization. In figure 1 it is represented a term set whose characteristics are common for fuzzy controllers and to which we will refer in the following. The above term set has a universe of discourse with 128 elements (so to have a good resolution), 8 fuzzy sets that describe the term set, 32 levels of discretization for the membership values. Clearly, the number of bits necessary for the given specifications are 5 for 32 truth levels, 3 for 8 membership functions and 7 for 128 levels of resolution. The memory depth is given by the dimension of the universe of the discourse (128 in our case) and it will be represented by the memory rows. The length of a world of memory is defined by: Length = nem (dm(m)＋dm(fm) Where: fm is the maximum number of non null values in every element of the universe of the discourse, dm(m) is the dimension of the values of the membership function m, dm(fm) is the dimension of the word to represent the index of the highest membership function. In our case then Length=24. The memory dimension is therefore 128*24 bits. If we had chosen to memorize all values of the membership functions we would have needed to memorize on each memory row the membership value of each element. Fuzzy sets word dimension is 8*5 bits. Therefore, the dimension of the memory would have been 128*40 bits. Coherently with our hypothesis, in fig. 1 each element of universe of the discourse has a non null membership value on at most three fuzzy sets. Focusing on the elements 32,64,96 of the universe of discourse, they will be memorized as follows: The computation of the rule weights is done by comparing those bits that represent the index of the membership function, with the word of the program memor . The output bus of the Program Memory (μCOD), is given as input a comparator (Combinatory Net). If the index is equal to the bus value then one of the non null weight derives from the rule and it is produced as output, otherwise the output is zero (fig. 2). It is clear, that the memory dimension of the antecedent is in this way reduced since only non null values are memorized. Moreover, the time performance of the system is equivalent to the performance of a system using vectorial memorization of all weights. The dimensioning of the word is influenced by some parameters of the input variable. The most important parameter is the maximum number membership functions (nfm) having a non null value in each element of the universe of discourse. From our study in the field of fuzzy system, we see that typically nfm 3 and there are at most 16 membership function. At any rate, such a value can be increased up to the physical dimensional limit of the antecedent memory. A less important role n the optimization process of the word dimension is played by the number of membership functions defined for each linguistic term. The table below shows the request word dimension as a function of such parameters and compares our proposed method with the method of vectorial memorization[10]. Summing up, the characteristics of our method are: Users are not restricted to membership functions with specific shapes. The number of the fuzzy sets and the resolution of the vertical axis have a very small influence in increasing memory space. Weight computations are done by combinatorial network and therefore the time performance of the system is equivalent to the one of the vectorial method. The number of non null membership values on any element of the universe of discourse is limited. Such a constraint is usually non very restrictive since many controllers obtain a good precision with only three non null weights. The method here briefly described has been adopted by our group in the design of an optimized version of the coprocessor described in [10].

가치가 상승하는 와인에 투자하는 것은 바람직하지만 우리나라에서는 와인 투자 자체가 생소하다. 또한, 와인시장에서의 가격책정은 소수에 의해 이루어지기 때문에 과정 자체가 비합리적이고, 정보가 위조되는 경우가 흔하다. 그러나 올바른 해결책만 있다면 와인시장은 오래 투자할수록 높은 수익을 기대할 수 있다는 점에서 바람직한 투자처가 될 수 있다. 또한, 국내 와인수입량의 꾸준한 증가추세를 통한 국내 와인 소비시장의 확대 또한 기대된다. 본 연구는 앞서 말한 우리나라의 와인 투자 시장의 '올바른 해결책'으로 와인시장 활성화 및 투명성 제고를 위한 컨소시엄 블록체인 프레임워크를 제시한다. 블록체인 거버넌스는 바람직한 의사결정권과 책임성을 보장하기 때문에 와인시장의 단점을 보완해줄 수 있다. 블록체인에 저장된 데이터는 소비자가 모두 확인할 수 있기 때문에 위조와인의 등장 가능성을 낮추고 불합리적으로 가격이 책정되는 과정을 보완한다. 또한 자산의 디지털화로 낮은 현금유동성을 해결하며 스마트 컨트랙트를 통해 공급망 전반의 비용과 시간을 절약하게 되어 와인투자의 진입장벽이 낮아진다. 특히 컨소시엄 블록체인을 통해 블록체인의 거버넌스를 '샤또-유통업자-투자자'로 구성한다면 바람직한 와인 시장을 형성할 수 있다. 생산과정을 블록체인에 저장하여 생산비용을 확보하고 합리적인 출시가를 정하며 유통과정을 블록체인에 저장하여 물류시스템을 효율적으로 운영하고 선물거래 주문량을 예측한다. 마지막으로 투자자들은 이 모든 데이터를 열람함으로써 합리적인 의사결정을 한다. 이는 와인경매시장에 있어서 주요 이해관계자들간의 지식공유체제로서 작동할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하고 있다. 해당 연구에서는 소유권을 주식처럼 다룰 수 있다는 점에서 대체투자의 새로운 관점을 제시했다. 또한 정보의 투명성을 제고시킬 방안으로써 와인 소유 매매 프레임워크를 제시하였고 식품 수입절차의 간소화와 와인 업계 내 신뢰 형성을 가능하게 했다. 해당 프레임워크를 통해 와인 관련 정보들을 투명하게 기록함으로써 활발한 와인투자가 이루어질 수 있을 것이며 이는 지식경영 측면에서 큰 의의를 가진다. 향후 연구에서는 해당 프레임워크를 확장해 적용할 분야를 연구하고자 한다.

In this paper, a trade-off design and fabrication of IPMC(Ionic Polymer Metal Composites) as an actuator for a flapping device have been described. Experiments for the internal solvent loss of IPMCs have been conducted for various combinations of cation and solvent in order to find out the best combination of cation and solvent for minimal solvent loss and higher actuation force. From the experiments, it was found that IPMCs with heavy water as their solvent could operate longer. Relations between length/thickness and tip force of IPMCs were also quantitatively identified for the actuator design from the tip force measurement of 200, 400, 640, and $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMCs. All IPMCs thicker than $200{\mu}m$ were processed by casting $Nafion^{TM}$ solution. The shorter and thicker IPMCs tended to generate higher actuation force but lower actuation displacement. To improve surface conductivity and to minimize solvent evaporation due to electrically heated electrodes, gold was sputtered on both surfaces of the cast IPMCs by the Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) process. For amplification of a short IPMC's small actuation displacement to a large flapping motion, a rack-and-pinion type hinge was used in the flapping device. An insect wing was attached to the IPMC flapping mechanism for its flapping test. In this test, the wing flapping device using the $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMC. could create around $10^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ flapping angles and $0.5{\sim}15Hz$ flapping frequencies by applying $3{\sim|}4V$.

Since 1980s, 30 years has passed after issues on environmental refugee began to appear. However, why environmental refugee is not considered as refugee officially in international society? Above all, it seems that main point is the responsibility given to those developed countries if they, whom led the climate changes, officially acknowledge environmental refugee. The problem is that environmental refugee has no direct responsibility for causing climate changes. Actually. the responsibility should be granted to the developed and industrialized countries which caused climate changes. In accordance to the refugee protection system established under current international law, it is difficult to include them into refugee category and thus, they can hardly have enough support. It is urgently needed that new refugee treat which have the new standard and solution added to it shall be adopted. To allow new refugee treat to be effective it is compulsory to have constant and binding policy determination and willingness of execution from a united international organization. Of course, before this, countries should try to have common recognition on recognizing new refugee problem and its seriousness as well as solving those problems together. In reality, it is worth considering adoption of semi-forceable type of system as a more effective way, which allocates responsibility of accepting refugee by amount of carbon emitted. Also, as refugee issue has an important influence on mother company and the third countries, execution process of the system has to be defined clearly. For those permanent organizations, they should accurately define environmental factors making refugee and set standards to minimize possibility of abuse and misuse.

본 연구에서는 축소모델을 기반으로 비행체 날개를 최적화하는 기법을 제안한다. 잘 구축된 축소모델은 고유치 문제나 동적 해석 시 정확한 해석결과를 제공하며, 최적화 과정에서 필요한 민감도 계산에서도 정확한 결과를 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 축소모델은 모드기반으로 구축되는 축소차수모델(Reduce Order Model)과 자유도기반으로 구축되는 축소시스템(Reduced System)으로 구분되는데, 본 연구에서 사용하는 자유도 기반 축소시스템은 구조물의 거동에 지배적인 자유도를 적절히 선정하는 것이 중요하므로, 이를 위하여 기존 연구에서 신뢰성이 검증된 2단계 축소방법을 사용하였고, IRS(Improved Reduced System)에 의해 최종시스템을 구축하였다. 수치예제에서 최적화 과정에서 계산되는 등가응력, 고유치 및 설계민감도는 모두 축소시스템 기반으로 구해지며, 축소시스템을 통해 구속조건을 잘 만족하면서 목적함수에 대한 최적 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

The UGV is one of the special field robot developed for mine detection, surveillance and transportation. To achieve successfully the missions of the UGV, the accurate and reliable navigation data should be provided. This paper presents design and implementation of multi-sensor-based open architecture integrated navigation for localization of UGV. The presented architecture hierarchically classifies the integrated system into four layers and data communications between layers are based on the distributed object oriented middleware. The navigation manager determines the navigation mode with the QoS information of each navigation sensor and the integrated filter performs the navigation mode-based data fusion in the filtering process. Also, all navigation variables including the filter parameters and QoS of navigation data can be modified in GUI and consequently, the user can operate the integrated navigation system more usefully. The conventional GPS/INS integrated system does not guarantee the long-term reliability of localization when GPS solution is not available by signal blockage and intentional jamming in outdoor environment. The presented integration algorithm, however, based on the adaptive federated filter structure with FDI algorithm can integrate effectively the output of multi-sensor such as 3D LADAR, vision, odometer, magnetic compass and zero velocity to enhance the accuracy of localization result in the case that GPS is unavailable. The field test was carried out with the UGV and the test results show that the presented integrated navigation system can provide more robust and accurate localization performance than the conventional GPS/INS integrated system in outdoor environments.

Methane is known to be one of the major greenhouse gases. On a global scale, livestock farming may contribute 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Though methane contribution is less than 2% of all the factors leading to global warming, it plays an important role because it is 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide. Methane emission is a direct result of the fermentation process performed by ruminal microorganisms and, in particular, the archael methanogens. Reducing methane emission would benefit both ruminant production and the environment. Methane generation can be reduced by electron-sink metabolic pathways to dispose of the reducing moieties. An alternative way for methane control in the rumen is to apply inhibitors against methanogens. Generating methane from manure has considerable merit because it appears to offer at least a partial solution to two pressing problems-environmental crisis and energy shortage. An obvious benefit from methane production is the energy value of the gas itself. Control of methane emission by rumen microbes in Korea has mainly been focused on application of various chemicals, such as BES and PMDI, that inhibit the growth and activity of methanogens in the rumen. Alternatives were to apply long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and oils with or without organic acids (malate and fumarate). The results for trials with methane reducing agents and the situation of biogas production industries and a typical biogas plant in Korea will be introduced here.

목재의 알칼리 팽윤특성을ㄹ 해명하기 위해 국내산 주요 침·활엽수 4수종의 주요 구성요소의 알칼리 팽윤 거동을 횡단면 절편을 이용하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 일본잎갈나무의 가도관 직경은 잣나무보다 크게 팽윤하였으며, 가도관의 벽두께는 10% 이상의 알칼리 수용액에 처리시 높은 팽윤율을 나타냈다. 알칼리 처리에 의해 도관의 직경은 방사방향으로 수축하였고, 접선방향으로 다소 팽윤하였다. 목섬유의 세코벽두께는 5%의 알칼리처리에서도 수분팽윤에 비해 3배 이상의 높은 팽윤성을 나타앴고, 알칼리 처리후 일본잎갈나무의 가도관 직경, 목섬유 직경 및 세포벽두께는 거의 등방적인 수축현상을 보여주었다. 또한 미처리 시료에 비해 머서화 처리 구성요소의 세포직경은 수축되었고, 세포벽은 팽윤되었다. 알칼리처리 과정에서 셀룰로오스 결정형의 변화는 없었지만 상대결정화도와 미결정의 폭이 다소 증가되었다. 결론적으로 알칼리의 농도, 수종, 세포의 종류가 목재의 알칼리 팽윤 특성에 크게 관여하는 것으로 생각되었다.

An effective methodology is reported for the optimal design of multisite batch production/transportation and storage networks under uncertain demand forecasting. We assume that any given storage unit can store one material type which can be purchased from suppliers, internally produced, internally consumed, transported to or from other plant sites and/or sold to customers. We further assume that a storage unit is connected to all processing and transportation stages that consume/produce or move the material to which that storage unit is dedicated. Each processing stage transforms a set of feedstock materials or intermediates into a set of products with constant conversion factors. A batch transportation process can transfer one material or multiple materials at once between plant sites. The objective for optimization is to minimize the probability averaged total cost composed of raw material procurement, processing setup, transportation setup and inventory holding costs as well as the capital costs of processing stages and storage units. A novel production and inventory analysis formulation, the PSW(Periodic Square Wave) model, provides useful expressions for the upper/lower bounds and average level of the storage inventory. The expressions for the Kuhn-Tucker conditions of the optimization problem can be reduced to two sub-problems. The first yields analytical solutions for determining lot sizes while the second is a separable concave minimization network flow subproblem whose solution yields the average material flow rates through the networks for the given demand forecast scenario. The result of this study will contribute to the optimal design and operation of large-scale supply chain system.
