The lack of persistent excitation (PE) can be the reason of freezing in the recursive least square estimators and the covariance windup in the exponential weighted least square estimators. We present a theoretical analysis of these phenomena and a simple method to check the exciting condition in real time. Using these results and under some conditions such as slowly time varying Plant and a tracking problem for set point, a robust self-tuning regulators without PE is proposed. In this algorithm, when PE is not satisfied, only plant gain is estimated, and then the system parameters are corrected by it. It is shown that the gain adaptive scheme makes the robustness to be improved against modeling error, off-set, and correlated noise etc, by the results of analysis and simulations.

In this paper, the productivity estimation of the painting line in an automobile plant is studied. To improve the bottleneck and the weak point of the process, computer simulations are performed. In determining the system specification, the status of the conveyor lines and the other physical facilities are considered in order not to intervene with each other and to satisfy the painting facility restrictions. As simulation parameters, production performance ratio, number of hanger and dolley, down time, speed of conveyor and the pitch of a painting body are chosen on the basis of exhaustive field evaluation to study their effects on the capacity of the process. The results of the simulation show that we can improve the capability of they system without additional investment to the plant facility. The best condition for the maximum capacity of the process is selected by comparing the alternative computer simulation results. As a simulation language, Promodel is used which is very useful and easy to use in manufacturing oriented simulation.

Algal vegetation in the subtidal zone between a small rock output and the Juckdo Island, eastern coast of Korea was investigated at several selected sites. The objectives of the survey were to descirbe the poorly known macroalgae community in this area and correlate the pattern of distribution as well as the change of zonatin with the environmental conditions. The water movement, light intensity and theinclinatin of substrate are considered as the environmental parameters. The upper and mid subtidal zones in sheltered area with less steep rocky surface are dominated by large brown algae Srgassum confusum; in the exposed area are characterised by species of Costaria costata. In the lower subtidal zone, the difference of vegetaton between the sheltered and the exposed areas is not recognized. At this depth the light intensity is an important ecological factor. Six narrow algal zones occur in the sheltered area, whereas two broad belts occur in the exposed area. the biomass value is 4 times greater in the sheltered area than in the exposed area.

The rapid senescence of detached Chinese cabbage leaf discs in darkness is first manifested by a sharp rise in malondialdehyde content (indicated by distruption of membrane structure), then by a rise in peroxidase activity and a decrease in catalase activity, and ultimately by chlorophyll degradation. These changes in parameters besides the catalase activity during senescence were delayed by application of spermidine. Especially, 10-4M spermidine almost completely arrested chlorophyll degradation after incubaton over 5 days. Spermidine reduced the amount of ethylene produced by senescing leaf discs. Additionally, it also reduced IAA-induced ethylene production. Calcium ion (1mM, 10mM) supplied together with the spermidine diminished the spermidine action, indicating probable involvement of an initial ionic attachment mechanism. These results suggest that spermidine can be used as an anti-senescence agent for plants and that this agent may stabilize membrane structure through interaction with the negatively charged loci on the membrane and exert the influence during senescence.

Heat recovery steam generator(HRSG) is a principal component of the combined cycle power plant (CCPP) which utilizes the waste energy of the gas turbine exhaust gas. A design of the HRSG is a keypoint to achieve high cycle efficiency with competitive cost. This paper presents a brief review on the design of a HRSG which covers the basic design parameters and their effects on the performance and the investment cost. Finally the concept of the optimum design point is presented according to the selection of a pinch point temperature difference and a steam pressure as an illustrated case.

Scanning electron microscopy / energy dispersive X-ray analyzer(SEM/EDX) has played an important role for evaluation the source of atmospheric particle because it is a powerful tool for characterizing individual particles. The SEM/EDX system provides various physical parameters like optical diameter, as well as chemical information for a particle-by-particle basis. The purpose of the study was to classify individual particle emitted from the point sources based on clustering analysis and physico-chemical analysis by SEM/EDX. The total of 490 individual particle were analyzed at 8 point sources including coal-fired power plant, incinerator, H-C oil boiler, and metal manufacturing industry. The main components were Si and AI in the coal-fired power plant, Cl and Na in the domestic waste Incinerator, S in the H-C oil boiler and S and Fe in the metal manufactory industry, respectively.

CAES which is called as a compressed air energy storage was firstly developed at Huntorf, German in 1978. The capacity of that system was 290MW, and it can be treated as a first commercial power plant. CAES has a lot of merits, such as saving the unit price of power generation, averaging the peak demand, improvement of maintenance, enlarging the benefit of dynamic use. According to the literature survey, the unlined rock cavern should be proposed to be a reasonable storing style as a method of compressed air storage in Korea. We decided the hill of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources as CAES site. If we construct the underground spaces in this site, the demand for electricity nearby Taejon should be considered. So we could determine the capacity of the power plant as a 350MW, This capacity needs a underground space of 200,000㎥, and we can conclude 4 parallel tunnels 550m deep from the surface through the numerical studies, Design parameters were achieved from 300m depth boring job and image processing job.

This paper describes the parameter convergence property for an adaptive identifier and deals with the stability of the adaptive system in terms of the general error model. The Persistent Excitation (PE) condition to guarantee parameter convergence is derived using the Power Spectrum Analysis. In the adaptive identifier designed under the assumptions that the plant has not unmodelled dynamics, it can be shown that the equilibrium points of adjustable parameters are independent on the position or the number of input spectrums, if the adaptive signal is PE. When the plant contains unmodelled dynamics and the same controller is used, the PE condition can still hold but the parameter tuned values are changed with the spectrum.
