A general purpose experimental set-up has been designed and implemented for students to carry out various experiments on inverters in the power electronics laboratories of universities, during a few hours of laboratory work. This is the first inverter setup that incorporates hardware and software control, as well as an optional user interface in a laboratory experimental set-up of a single multi-purpose inverter, thus making the system versatile and very practical for both undergraduate and graduate students. The system can be controlled either by a computer or through a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a keypad control unit, and it constitutes a low-cost alternative to relatively expensive commercial teaching sets. The computer provides a user friendly interface and easier control for laboratory environments equipped with computers. The LCD and keypad units eliminate the need for a computer, which makes this system usable in the laboratory as a standalone unit as well.

The auxiliary transformers or start-up/stand-by transformer(s) are installed against the start-up and shut-down of generator and emergency status in fossil power plant. The on-site power supply configuration using these transformers must be determined, considering configuration requirements, site characteristics, reliability and availability severely because it is remarkably important for safety and ecfonomy of plant. The auxiliary or start-up/stand-by power supply configuration has been determined considering only safety requirements and construction cost until now in Korea. This paper presents general theorems for the reliability estimation and proposes 2-unit based 4 alternatives for the start-up power supply stystem of 500㎿ standardized fossil power plant. The reliability and unavailability of equipment, system and configuration are determined using minimal cut-set methodology. The optimized plan of 4 alternatives is determined based on this ultimate reliability and unavailability.

The undrained shear strength of soil is considered one of the engineering parameters of utmost significance in geotechnical design methods. In-situ experiments like cone penetration tests (CPT) have been used in the last several years to estimate the undrained shear strength depending on the characteristics of the soil. Nevertheless, the majority of these techniques rely on correlation presumptions, which may lead to uneven accuracy. This research's general aim is to extend a new united soft computing model, which is a combination of random forest (RF) with grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) to the pile set-up parameters' better approximation from CPT, based on two different types of data as inputs. Data type 1 contains pile parameters, and data type 2 consists of soil properties. The contribution of this article is that hybrid GOA - RF for the first time, was suggested to forecast the pile set-up parameter from CPT. In order to do this, CPT data and related bore log data were gathered from 70 various locations across Louisiana. With an R² greater than 0.9098, which denotes the permissible relationship between measured and anticipated values, the results demonstrated that both models perform well in forecasting the set-up parameter. It is comprehensible that, in the training and testing step, the model with data type 2 has finer capability than the model using data type 1, with R² and RMSE are 0.9272 and 0.0305 for the training step and 0.9182 and 0.0415 for the testing step. All in all, the models' results depict that the A parameter could be forecasted with adequate precision from the CPT data with the usage of hybrid GOA - RF models. However, the RF model with soil features as input parameters results in a finer commentary of pile set-up parameters.

목 적 : Proton Therapy는 Bragg-peak를 이용해 종양에는 최대의 선량, 정상조직에는 최소의 선량을 줄 수 있는 특징을 가지고 있기 때문에 환자의 위치변화나 치료부위의 위치 변화를 정량화 할 수 있는 의료영상 분석 시스템은 양성자 치료에 있어서 무엇보다도 중요하다. 본 연구 목적은 Matlab 기반의 In-house Registration code를 제작하여 기존 DIPS program을 통한 Set-up과 In-house code를 통한 영상정합을 비교하여 Algorithm의 유용성을 평가하고 DIPS와 DRR간의 오차 값을 확인하여 기존 치료의 정확성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본원에서 양성자 치료를 받은 13명의 뇌종양, 두경부암 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 영상비교에 필요한 DIPS Program System(Version 2.4.3, IBA, Belgium)와 환자의 치료계획을 위해 Eclipse Proton Planning System(Version 13.7, Varian, USA)을 사용하였다. Registration 방법에 대한 Validation을 위해 Test image를 인위적으로 회전 및 이동하여 기존 Image와 영상정합 하였고, 기존 Set up 방식의 DIPS program의 환자 일별 초기 Set up image를 plan DRR과 영상정합 하여 각각 오차 값을 얻어 Algorithm의 유용성을 평가하였다. 그리고 기존 Set up 방식의 정확성을 평가하기 위해 환자 일별 최종 Set up image와 DRR image를 영상정합하여 오차 값을 확인하였다. 결 과 : Test image를 left와 right 방향으로 각각 0.5, 1, 10 cm를 이동시켰을 때 평균 0.018 cm의 오차 값을 보였으며 시계와 반시계방향으로 각각 1, $10^{\circ}$씩 회전시켰을 경우에는 평균 $0.0011^{\circ}$의 오차를 나타냈다. 4명의 환자 일별 초기 image를 영상정합 하였을 때는 x, y, z 방향 순으로 평균 0.056, 0.044, 0.053 cm의 오차 값을 나타냈으며 Rotation, Pitch 순으로 0.190, $0.206^{\circ}$의 차이를 나타냈다. 13명의 환자 일별 최종 image를 영상 정합 하였을 때는 x, y, z 방향 순으로 평균 차이는 0.062, 0.085, 0.074 cm이였고 Vector 값으로는 평균 0.120 cm의 차이를 보였다. Rotation, Pitch 순으로는 평균 0.171, $0.174^{\circ}$의 차이 값을 나타냈다. 결 론 : 본 연구를 통해 제작된 Matlab 기반의 In-house Registration code는 단순한 Image 뿐만 아니라 해부학적 구조에서도 Intensity 기반의 정확한 영상정합을 나타냈다. 또한 기존 치료방식의 DIPS program을 통한 Set-up 오차는 매우 미미한 차이를 보임으로써 이는 양성자치료의 정확성을 확인할 수 있었다. 앞으로 임상적용을 위해 추가적인 프로그램 개발과 향후 Intensity 기반의 Matlab In-house code 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

This paper presents a method of designing optimal integer- and fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers for a boost converter to gain a set of favorable characteristics at various operating points. A Pareto-based multi-objective optimization approach called strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA) is used to obtain fast and low overshoot start-up and dynamic responses and switching stability. The optimization approach generates a set of optimal gains called Pareto set, which corresponds to a Pareto front. The Pareto front is a set of optimal results for objective functions. These results provide designers with a trade-off look-up table, in which they can easily choose any of the optimal gains based on design requirements. The SPEA also overcomes the difficulties of tuning the FOPID controller, which is an extension to the classic integer-order PID controllers and potentially promises better results. The proposed optimized FOPID controller provides an excellent start-up response and the desired dynamic response. This paper presents a detailed comparison of the optimum integer- and the fractional-order PID controllers. Extensive simulation and experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed design methodology to achieve a wide set of desired technical goals.

출판만화는 드라마, 영화 등과 함께 대중적 인기를 얻고 있는 매체로서 인정받고 있고 나름의 확립된 장르적 특성이 있다. 그러나 연출에 대한 연구는 영화, 드라마, 연극 등의 다중 매체에 비해 매우 미진한 상태이다. 본 연구는 안수철의 각도와 거리개념을 적용하여 기본적인 연출의 요소 중에서 각도와 거리의 설정에 중점을 두어 분석하고 분류해봄으로써 이론적으로 분류된 기능들이 실제적으로 그러한 기능을 실행하는지 살펴보고 그 외 부가적으로 고려되어야 할 점을 중점적으로 분석해 보고자 한다. 우선 각도와 거리설정은 장르별 만화의 분위기에 따라 특정 설정이 빈도가 높게 나타나리라는 예상으로 접근을 시도했지만 예상과 달리 장르의 특징보다 작가 개인적 기호에 따라 달리 나타나고 있으며 각도와 거리설정의 기능적 측면은 표현적 공간에 국한된 설정이며 강렬함을 표현하는 기능으로 우선시 되어야 하는 것은 물리적 공간의 설정이다. 이러한 만화연출의 특성을 분석해 봄으로써 만화연출의 폭을 넓혀보고자 한다.

This study developed an up-flow wetland providing either an eco-friendly follow-up process of medium-sized public treatment facility for livestock manure or a non-point source pollution controller near livestock farms. The four bench-scale up-flow wetlands were operated with four different bed media sets. The removal efficiencies of the wetland effluent for CODCr, TN, TP, SS were 35.2 %, 29.5 %, 31.2 % and 52.2 % for set 1(Blank, without reed, with bio-ceramic), 40.6 %, 43.4 %, 42.2 % and 55.4 % for set 2(with bio-reed & without bio-ceramic), 45.2 %, 48.7 %, 46.6 % and 66.3 % for set 3(with bio-reed & bio-ceramic), 32.9 %, 27.3 %, 29.3 % and 54.1 % for Set 4(with reed & bio ceramic), respectively. The set 3 condition having a mixture of bio-reed and bio-ceramic showed the highest efficiency in the bench-scale evaluation. This study suggests a mixture of bio-reed and bio-ceramic as suitable bed media in the construction of artificial wetlands near livestock farms. Soils including the bed media were monitored during the evaluation for trace elements. Soil analysis results were satisfied with the Korean Soil Contamination Standard. This study showed that the up-flow constructed wetland was feasible to treat the effluent livestock wastewater treatment facility.

The undrained shear strength is widely acknowledged as a fundamental mechanical property of soil and is considered a critical engineering parameter. In recent years, researchers have employed various methodologies to evaluate the shear strength of soil under undrained conditions. These methods encompass both numerical analyses and empirical techniques, such as the cone penetration test (CPT), to gain insights into the properties and behavior of soil. However, several of these methods rely on correlation assumptions, which can lead to inconsistent accuracy and precision. The study involved the development of innovative methods using extreme gradient boosting (XGB) to predict the pile set-up component "A" based on two distinct data sets. The first data set includes average modified cone point bearing capacity (q_t), average wall friction (f_s), and effective vertical stress (σ_vo), while the second data set comprises plasticity index (PI), soil undrained shear cohesion (S_u), and the over consolidation ratio (OCR). These data sets were utilized to develop XGBoost-based methods for predicting the pile set-up component "A". To optimize the internal hyperparameters of the XGBoost model, four optimization algorithms were employed: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Social Spider Optimization (SSO), Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA), and Sine Cosine Optimization Algorithm (SCOA). The results from the first data set indicate that the XGBoost model optimized using the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (XGB - AOA) achieved the highest accuracy, with R2 values of 0.9962 for the training part and 0.9807 for the testing part. The performance of the developed models was further evaluated using the RMSE, MAE, and VAF indices. The results revealed that the XGBoost model optimized using XGBoost - AOA outperformed other models in terms of accuracy, with RMSE, MAE, and VAF values of 0.0078, 0.0015, and 99.6189 for the training part and 0.0141, 0.0112, and 98.0394 for the testing part, respectively. These findings suggest that XGBoost - AOA is the most accurate model for predicting the pile set-up component.
