LMTT (Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology) is a horizontal transfer system for the yard automation. which has been proposed to take the place qf AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) in the maritime container terminal. the system is based on PMLSM (Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor) that consists of stator modules on the rail and shuttle mr. It is desirable to reduce the weight of LMTT in order to control the electronic devices with minimum energy. In this research structural optimization for a mover of shuttle mr is performed to minimize the weight satisfying design criteria the objective function is set up as weight. On the contrary, design variable is considered as transverse, longitudinal and wheel beam's thickness and shape variable determining the dimension toward high direction and the constraints are the stresses.

According as the quantity of goods transported by ship is increasing about $7\%$ per year, a port environment is rapidly changing. To meet this situation successfully, the development of the next generation port loading and unloading system (LMTT) is studied. A Frame of shuttle car for LMTT(Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology) consist of three parts which are outer beam inner beam and cross boom. Outer boom supports a container and inner boom is a framework and cross boom reinforces outer and inner boom. In this study, we carried out the finite element analysis for the effect of cross boom on the strength and stiffness qf the frame according to the number if cross beam leading position of container, the distance ratio if inner boom from center.

This paper proposes the shuttle protocol that can gather management information from managed systems in an efficient way. In this paper, we implement the protocol and evaluate the performance by simulation. The major feature of the shuttle protocol is a chained logical connection through managed systems, and management informations to be collected are circulated among specified managed systems in circular order on a logical ring connection. The data generated by an managed system are relayed to a neighbor managed system and the system sends its data which has additional management information to received data. Finally, a manager stationman get all of data generated by every managed system. we will show the analysis of management traffic patterns using conventional polling schemes and the shuttle protocol implementation viable to TCP/IP network and improving existing polling mechansims. Additionally, it is performed to evaluate the packet processing time and its distribution of a manager system and a gateway, and the queue length of packet and bit length of gateway against conventional polling schemes by simulation using OPNRT, a simulation-dedicated package.

FPSO and shuttle tanker are connected to each other by a mooring hawser and a loading hose through which cargo oil is off-loaded. Even in mild sea-state. environmental loads can cause unstable large drift motions between two vessels in tandem off-loading operations, which may result in collision incidents. Accordingly. the analysis on the relative motion between two vessels due to the environmental loads should be investigated in initial design stage. In this study, the low speed maneuvering equation is employed to simulate nonlinear motions of FPSO and shuttle tanker. Low frequency wave drift forces including hydrodynamic interactions between two vessels are evaluated by near field approaches. Current loads are determined by mathematical model of MMG and wind loads are calculated by employing the wind spectrum according to the guidelines of API-RP2A. Mooring forces produced by turret mooring lines and a flexible hawser are modeled quasi-statically by catenary equations. The effect of environmental loads that affect nonlinear motion is investigated through variation in their magnitudes and the nonlinear motions between FPSO and shuttle tanker are simulated under wave, current and wind in time domain.

The ddh gene encoding meso-DAP-dehydrogenase (DDH) involved in the dehydrogenase pathway is essential for high-level lysine production in Brevibacterium lactofermentum. To investigate the effect of the ddh gene amplification on lysine production by B. lactofementum, we constructed two E. coli -B. lactofermentum shuttle vector, pEB1 and pEB2. The recombinant plasmids, pRK1 and pRK2, carrying the ddh gene were introduced into B. lactofermentum by electroporation. The specific activity of DDH by amplification of the ddh gene was increased 7-fold, and also L-Lysine production of B. lactofermentum strains harboring recombinant plasmids were 18∼20% higher than that of the control.

The final goal of this research is to establish the relative dangerousness D/B for factors on seakeeping performance. This D/B is essential to develope the seakeeping performance evaluation system built-on-ship. The system is composed of the apparatus for measuring a vertical acceleration to be generated by the ship's motions, computer for calculating the synthetic seakeeping performance index and monitor for displaying the evaluating diagram of navigational safety of ship. In this paper, a methodology on the establishment of the relative dangerousness D/B for factors on seakeeping performance is presented by a numerical simulations, playing an important role on the algorithm of the program for calculating the synthetic seakeeping performance index. Finally, It is investigated whether the relative dangerousness D/B can be realized an accurate values according to the loading conditions, weather conditions, wave directions end present ship's speed of a model ship.

One mechanism of free-radical production by ethanol is suggested to be through the intracellular conversion of XDH to XO by increased ratio of NADH to NAD. The major mechanism for physiological compensation of cytosolic NADH/NAD balance is the malate/aspartate shutfie. Therefore, it is important to develop the method to improve the efficiency of malate/aspartate shuttle in ethanol metabolism. In the present study, various amino acids and organic acid involved in the shuttle were tested for their functional efficiency in modulating shuttle in the ethanol-perfused rat liver. The rate of ethanol oxidation in the liver perfused with aspartate alone or aspartate in combination with pyruvate, respectively, was increased by about 10% compared to control liver, but not in the tissues perfused with glummate, cysteine or pyruvate alone. Though glummate, cysteine and pyravate did not affect the ethanol oxidation significanfiy, they showed some suppresive effect on the ethanol-induced radical generation monitored by protein carbonylation analysis. Among the tested components, aspartate is confirmed to be the most efficient as a metabolic regulator for both ethanol oxidation and ethanol-induced oxidative stress in our perfusion system. These effects of aspartate would result from NAD recycling by its supplementation through the coupled aspartate aminotransferase/malate dehydrogenase reactions and the malate-aspartate shuttle.

The motion behaviors including hydrodynamic interaction and mechanical coupling effects on multiple-body floating platforms are simulated by using a time domain hull/mooring/riser coupled dynamics analysis program. The objective of this study is to evaluate off-diagonal hydrodynamic interaction effects and mechanical coupling effects on tandem moored FPSO and shuttle taker motions. In the multiple-body floating platforms interaction, hydrodynamic coupling effects with waves and mechanical coupling effects through the connectors should be considered. Thus, in this study, the multiple-body platform motions are calculated by Combined Matrix Method (CMM) as well as Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The advantage of the combined matrix method is that it can include all the 6Nx6N full hydrodynamic and mechanical interaction effects among N bodies. Whereas, due to the larger matrix size, the calculation time of Combined Matrix Method (CMM) is longer than the Separated Matrix Method (SMM). On the other hand, Separated Matrix Method (SMM) cannot include the off-diagonal 6x6 hydrodynamic interaction coefficients although it can fully include mechanical interactions among N bodies. To evaluate hydrodynamic interaction and mechanical coupling effects, tandem moored FPSO and shuttle tanker is simulated by Combined Matrix Method (CMM) and Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The calculation results give a good agreement between Combined Matrix Method (CMM) and Separated Matrix Method (SMM). The results show that the Separated Matrix Method (SMM) is more efficient for tandem moored FPSO and shuttle tanker. In the numerical calculation, the hydrodynamic coefficients are calculated from a 3D diffraction/radiation panel program WAMIT, and wind and current forces are generated by using the respective coefficients given in the OCIMF data sheet.
