Cellular Genetic Algorithms(CGAs) are a subclass of Genetic Algorithms(GAs) in which each individuals are placed in a given geographical distribution. In general, CGAs# population space is a regular network that has relatively long characteristic path length and high clustering coefficient in the view of the Networks Theory. Long average path length makes the genetic interaction of remote nodes slow. If we have the population#s path length shorter with keeping the high clustering coefficient value, CGAs# population space will converge faster without loss of diversity. In this paper, we propose Smallest-Small-World Cellular Genetic Algorithms(SSWCGAs). In SSWCGAs, each individual lives in a population space that is highly clustered but having shorter characteristic path length, so that the SSWCGAs promote exploration of the search space with no loss of exploitation tendency that comes from being clustered. Some experiments along with four real variable functions and two GA-hard problems show that the SSWCGAs are more effective than SGAs and CGAs.

There has been increasing interests of condition monitoring and diagnosis for electric equipment, which lead to the development of this system domestic and abroad. In the past, operators' interest was how to quickly repair and restore the electric equipments after failure. But, due to the North American Blackout in 2003 and the aging of equipments, users have paid attention to the condition based monitoring of electric equipment to prevent a fault like outrage. GIS-PDS("GIS Preventive and Diagnosis System") requiresa large amount of measurement data with timeliness for monitoring and analysis of real-time state of GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear). We developed the timeliness-guaranteed communication device for GIS-PDS.

백금 스퍼터 증착시 아르곤에 산소와 같은 첨가 가스를 사용할 경우 산화막에 대한 접착력이 좋아지며 백금 박막의 우선배향성을 조절할 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 이러한 첨가 가스는 백금 박막에 상당량 포함되며 스퍼터링 후 열처리 과정에서 탈착되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 후열처리 도중 첨가 가스의 탈착 거동이 백금 박막의 미세구조, 조성 및 전기 전도도 등과 같은 제반 물성에 영향을 미칠 것이라 추정된다. 본 연구에서는 백금의 스퍼터링 시 질소를 첨가하여 질소가 포함된 백금 박막을 증착한 후 질소 탈착 거동을 연구하기 위해 실시간 타원해석기(in situ ellipsometer)를 이용하여 진공열처리(15mTorr)하면서 온도변화에 따른 유효굴절율(n)과 소광계수(k) 값을 구하였다. 또한 산소를 첨가하여 얻은 백금 박막의 결과와 비교하여 백금 박막내에 포함된 산소와 질소의 탈착 거동의 차이를 조사하였다. 산소를 이용하여 우선배향성이 (200)으로 조절된 박막의 경우 n과 k의 급격한 변화가 관찰되었으며 이로부터 55$0^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 산소가 급격히 빠져나감을 추측할 수 있었으며 열처리 후에는 백금 bulk 값에 가까운 값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 질소를 사용하여 (200)으로 우선배향성이 조절된 박막의 경우 n,k 값의 후열처리 도중의 변화 양상은 스퍼터링 압력에 크게 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 22mTorr에서 스퍼터링한 박막의 경우 23$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 굴절률과 미세구조의 변화가 있음을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 10mTorr에서 스퍼터링한 시편의 경우 굴절률의 변화양상은 산소를 상요한 경우와 매우 유사한 거동을 나타내지만 열처리 후에는 상대적으로 낮은 n,k 값을 나타내고 있었다. 또한 열처리 시편의 미세구조 변화에 대한 분석 결과 산소 사용의 경우는 측정온도 범위내에서는 후 열처리 후에도 박막내에 hole이나 hillock 등이 관찰되지 않아 bulk 값에 가까운 n, k 값을 가지지만, 질소 사용의 경우는 hole, 표면 거칠기, 혹은 스퍼터링 중에 인입된 질소의 탈착이 완전히 이루어지지 못해 bulk 값과 다르게 나온 것으로 생각된다.

Energy saving strategy for public housing is given a sizable portion in Land and Housing corporation. From this reason, the consumer's characteristics and energy consciousness of public housing dweller was derived from field survey for compare with sale housing residents characteristics. Utilities fees (e.g. gas and electric) for public housing residents was about 50 percent of sales housing dweller, but real energy consumption was accounting for 70% of sales housing residents in electric consumption. Among the respondents for public housing dweller up to 80 percentile of end-user comment that they have less demanding utilities fees. Given the major energy saving strategies, such as install EMS, make a teaching tool for children, sale housing residents is more proactive approach to participant energy saving strategies than public housing residents.

Gasoline that meets the quality standards is distributed in Korea. However, consumers who use toluene or solvent mixed with gasoline have appeared due to rising crude oil prices and for the purpose of tax evasion. Gasoline quality standard is enacted by the domestic and international research reference. A wrong fuel can influence automobile performance or environmental issue. Thus, empirical data from this issue is necessary. Therefore, this research observed catalyst influence by gasoline property change and inspect influence of environment. In this study, fuel property evaluation, lean-burn evaluation, and real vehicle exhaust emission test were performed. In the result of fuel property, the fuel "A" was measured to be up to 27% less octane than the normal gasoline and the distillation property was measured 24% higher than normal gasoline. In the test result of single cylinder engine lean-burn test, the fuels "A" and "B" show torque value 20% less than the normal gasoline. As a result of vehicle test using the catalyst, the fuel "A" was increased more than the normal gasoline with 83% THC, 1,806% CO and 128% NOx, and the fuel "B" was increased more than normal gasoline with 1.6% THC, 391% CO and 142% NOx.

This study uses daily price data on three major types of crude oil (Brent, Dubai, and WTI) and BDI from January 2, 2009 to June 29, 2018, to compare the relationship between crude oil prices and BDI for rate of change and volatility. Unlike previous studies, the correlation between BDI and crude oil prices was analyzed both the rate of change and variability, VARs, Granger Causality Test, and the GARCH and DCC models were employed. The correlation analysis, indicated that the crude oil price change rate and volatility affect the BDI change rate and that BDI volatility affects the crude oil price change rate and volatility. The relationship between oil prices and BDI is identified, but their correlation is low, which is likely a result of lower dependence on crude oil as demand for natural gas increases worldwide and demand for renewable energy decreases. These trends could result in lower correlations over time. Therefore, focusing on the changing demand for raw materials in future investments in international shipping(real economy) and oil markets and macroeconomic analysis is necessary.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Ecklonia stolonifera (E. stolonifera) extract addition on in vitro ruminal fermentation characteristics, methanogenesis and microbial populations. Methods: One cannulated Holstein cow ($450{\pm}30kg$) consuming timothy hay and a commercial concentrate (60:40, w/w) twice daily (09:00 and 17:00) at 2% of body weight with free access to water and mineral block were used as rumen fluid donors. In vitro fermentation experiment, with timothy hay as substrate, was conducted for up to 72 h, with E. stolonifera extract added to achieve final concentration 1%, 3%, and 5% on timothy hay basis. Results: Administration of E. stolonifera extract to a ruminant fluid-artificial saliva mixture in vitro increased the total gas production. Unexpectedly, E. stolonifera extracts appeared to increase both methane emissions and hydrogen production, which is contrasts with previous observations with brown algae extracts used under in vitro fermentation conditions. Interestingly, real-time polymerase chain reaction indicated that as compared with the untreated control the ciliate-associated methanogen and Fibrobacter succinogenes populations decreased, whereas the Ruminococcus flavefaciens population increased as a result of E. stolonifera extract supplementation. Conclusion: E. stolonifera showed no detrimental effect on rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial population. Through these results E. stolonifera has potential as a viable feed supplement to ruminants.

This paper is to analyze the efficiency of power consumption in logistic systems that are based on self-driving roller conveyors by the simulation technology. The improvement of the efficiency brings advantages for reducing greenhouse gas emission and logistics costs. A self-driving roller conveyor is operated only when products are loaded on itself. Thus, the self-driving roller conveyor systems consume less electric power than continuous-driving roller conveyor systems. In this paper, we design a DEVS (Discrete-Event based System) based simulation model and construct self-driving roller and continuous-driving roller conveyor models. For the verification and validation of the designed simulation system and conveyor models, we model a corresponding logistic model for the experimental environment and compare between the model and a real system. The main objective of this paper is to describe the power consumption advantage of self-driving roller conveyor based logistic systems using a simulation method.

This study compared and analyzed the chemistry curriculum of South Korea and Singapore. The analysis revealed that Korea's achievement standards in the chemistry subject comprised knowledge and skills, whereas Singapore's achievement standards comprised knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes. The scope of knowledge and skills of the Singaporean achievement standards-wherein each element was explicitly presented-were more extensive than that of Korea. The elementary school curriculum in both countries was structured to help students qualitatively understand materials in real life, whereas the middle school content was structured such that students could understand the topic of particles. Additionally, several differences were found in specific content elements; for example, the periodic tables were included only in the Singaporean content, whereas changes in the volume of gas according to temperature and pressure were included only in the Korean content. The Singaporean academic achievement standards, integrating knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes in science curriculum, can be used as a reference for adjusting and restructuring the Korean curriculum.
