  • To enhance the shoot induction efficiency from nodal stem of yooza, the culture conditions such as basal medium, carbohydrate source, solidifying agent and the optimum concentration of plant growth regulators for shoot induction were investigated. The nodal explants were cultured better on MS medium than on MT, SH, B5 or W media in considering of shoot induction rate and mean shoot length. Solidifying agent in medium was better with 0.8% agar than with 0.3% agar, 1.2% agarose or 0.2% gelrite. Carbohydrate source in shoot induction medium was efficient with 30 g/L sucrose. The optimum concentrations of plant growth regulators were determined that 0.1 mg/L NAA as auxin was effective on the shoot induction, and 1.0 mg/L BAP as cytokinin induced multiple shoots efficiently. Shoot induction was the most effective on MS medium supplemented with 4 mg/L $GA_3$ in yooza.

  • Even though efficiency of coal-fired power plant is proportional to operating temperature, increasement of operating temperature is limited by a technological level of each power plant components. It is an alternative plan to increase operating pressure up to ultra super critical point for efficiency enhancement. It is difficult to control in that pressure within safety guideline that many unexpected phenomena are happen because that region is highly nonlinear region. In this paper, Advanced process control algorithm, ARX and Fuzzifier, is introduced. Then power plant control logics applied Unit Step Optimizer, which is combination of ARX and Fuzzifier are proposed. Its performance is tested and analyzed with design guide line.

  • This paper proposes a method for improving efficiency of high-voltage motors off-line insulation diagnostic test. The conventional manual test method has measurement errors and excessive processing time. We developed the KITAS system and solved these problems by using the instrument remote control and communication technology. The result of proficiency testing by interlaboratory comparisons using Power Factor Tip-Up test was '${\mid}E_n{\mid}$ < 1'. It was possible to confirm the validity of acquired data from the KITAS and establish a remote diagnostic system for easy access without physical limitations.

  • The immature embryos during seed development were examined to predict the suitable embryos for an efficient regeneration system. Five spring wheat genotypes and five winter wheat genotypes were tested using immature embryos as explants. Spring wheat genotypes showed much higher levels of plant regeneration than those of winter wheat genotypes. The highest frequencies of embryogenesis and regeneration were obtained when embryos at 13-14 days after anthesis (DAA) were used as explant and decreased using embryos at 21-22 DAA during seed development. Significant differences were also found for callus induction and regeneration as affected by immature embryo size. The regeneration efficiency was drastically decreased in spring and winter wheat genotypes when embryos larger than 2.0 mm of length were used. The optimum developmental stage and embryo length for regeneration efficiency were at 13-14 DAA and 1.0-1.5 mm, respectively. The selection of suitable embryos for the high frequencies of embryogenesis and regeneration leads us to efficient genetic improvement of wheat.

  • Effective plant regeneration from immature cotyledons of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivars was achieved via somatic embryogenesis. Somatic embryogenesis was performed with the cotyledons of immature embryos 14-20 d after flowering. Immature cotyledons of cv. Whangkeum were placed abaxial or adaxial side down on modified MS medium containing 20mg/L 2,4-D. The greatest number of somatic embryos, 1.2 per cotyledon, was produced from those of 4.0-4.9 mm in length which had been placed abaxial side down. Among cvs. Pecking, Whangkeum and Baekwoon, Pecking had the highest embryo induction efficiency with 4.3 somatic embryos per cotyledon in 20mg/L 2,4-D treatment and with 1.0 embryo per cotyledon in 8mg/L NAA treatment. Germinable globular somatic embryos were induced with the highest efficiency, 27.6%, in 20mg/L 2,4-D and were proliferated efficiently on liquid medium containing 10mg/L 2,4-D. The globular somatic embryos developed into germinable mature somatic embryos on medium containing 10 $\mu$M CoCl2, 9% sucrose, and 0.5% activated charcoal. These mature somatic embryos germinated on hormone-free mediu. After transfer to the soil, regenerated plants with seeds were obtained.

  • In order to quantify removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium in water treatment process and evaluate factors influencing removal efficiency of Cryptosporidium in each step of water treatment process, large pilot plant system ($100m^3/day$) and Cryptracer, surrogate of Cryptosporidium, were used. The removal efficiency of Cryptracer was around 0.8~1 log in coagulation process and 3.3~4.8 log in sand filtration process under ordinary environmental conditions. Factors influenced removal efficiency of Cryptracer were high fluctuate turbidity and water temperature. High fluctuate turbidity made difficult to adjust optimum PAC concentration, caused to drop removal efficiency of coagulation process (0.5 log). Inadequate coagulation process influenced to sand filtration process (2.1 log), caused to decline of removal efficiency in the whole process (2.6 log). Low temperature below $2^{\circ}C$ also influenced coagulation process (0.6 log). Therefore, It is shown that careful attention in the control of Cryptosporidium is needed in flood period, when high fluctuate turbidity would be, and winter period of low temperature.

  • This paper proposes an automatic tracking control algorithm for efficiency improvement of photovoltaic generation. Increasing the power of PV systems should improve the efficiency of solar cells or the power condition system. The normal alignment of the PV module always have to run perpendicular to the sun's rays. The solar tracking system, able to improve the efficiency of the PV system, was initiated by applying that to the PV power plant. The tracking system of conventional PV power plant has been studied with regard to the tracking accuracy of the solar cells. Power generation efficiency were increased by aligning the cells for maximum exposure to the sun's rays. Using a perpendicular position facilitated optimum condition. However, there is a problem about the reliability of tracking systems unable to not track the sun correctly during environmental variations. Therefore, a novel control algorithm needs to improve the generation efficiency of the PV systems and reduce the loss of generation. This control algorithm is the proposed automatic tracking algorithm in this paper. Automatic tracking control is combined the sensor and program method for robust control in environment changing condition. This tracking system includes the insolation, rain sensor and anemometer for climate environment changing. Proposed algorithm in this paper, is compared to performance of conventional tracking control algorithm in variative insolation condition. And prove the validity of proposed algorithm through the experimental data.

  • This paper is about the energy efficiency calculation of the production facilities. In the paper-manufacturing industry, for example, the production facility needs much energy including electric and heat energy. So, in this paper, we chose a process in the model plant to calculate energy efficiency. To the Electric facilities, We calculated the energy efficiency of electric facilities by means of load factor and voltage unbalance of the motors. And to the heat energy, we calculated the heat energy efficiency by comparing necessary calorie and supplied calorie for the process. We performed all these energy efficiency calculations by using the measured data of a process in an operating plant.

  • An increased use of teams of actors within complex systems has led to the emergence of various approaches for the assessment of different features associated with team performance. Over the last two decades, the performance of teams in complex systems has received considerable attention from the human factors community, and a number of methods have been developed in order to assess and evaluate team performance. The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology for measuring team efficiency of operators in the advanced main control room of Korean nuclear power plant. Team efficiency is an index which is estimated of gabs between individual performances and team performance. The index was developed to compare among teams through past all performance measurements.
