We have developed a seeing monitoring system and measured seeing variation of the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) and the Sobaeksan Optical Astronomy Observatory (SOAO) using a small telescope system. Our seeing monitoring system is similar to the differential image motion monitor (DIMM) installed at the ESO. The ooly difference between the BOAO and the SOAO seeing monitoring system is a detector system, a video camera at the BOAO and ST-4 camera at the SOAO. We confirmed that the seeing monitoring system at the SOAO can measure average seeing size inspite of its simple detector system. From the BOAO seeing measurement, we found that the seeing size changes fast. We expect that our seeing monitoring system could be used for real time seeing monitoring after some improvement, and the data to be obtained would be very useful when we build adaptive optic system in the future.

The characteristics of the testis and the annual cycle of the seminiferous epithelium of the Miniopterus schreibersi fuliginosus were examined by optical microscopy. The testis weight and diameter of the seminiferous tubules were increased gradually from May to July, and the highest activity was observed in August. The size then decreased rapidly from October. Spermatogenesis began in May, peaked in August, and was suspended from October to April in the following year. Spermatocytogenesis were produced from May to July. Spermiogenesis occurred from August to September. In particular, immature spematogenic cells in the seminiferous tubules were engulfed by the phagocytosis of Sertoli cells in October. From November to April, the seminiferous tubuly contained only Sertoli cells and Ad spermatogonia. Therefore, the periodic changes in the seminiferous epithelium of M. S. fuliginosus suggest that a long hibernation is an adaptive strategy for the preservation of energy and the regulation of the breeding cycle.

This paper is to establish an appropriate model for predicting the temperature decreases in the batch transferred from the refining process to the caster in steel-making companies. Mathematical modeling of the temperature decreases between the processes is difficult, since the reaction mechanism by which the temperature changes in a molten steel batch is dynamic, uncertain and complex. Three soft computing techniques are examined using the same data, namely the multiple regression, fuzzy regression, and neural net (NN) models. To compare the accuracy of these three models, a limited number of input variables are selected from those variables significantly affecting the temperature decrease. The results show that the difference in accuracy between the three models is not statistically significant. Nonetheless, the NN model is recommended because of its adaptive ability and robustness. The method presented in this paper allows the temperature decrease to be predicted without requiring any precise metallurgical knowledge.

This paper presents Hybrid PI controller of IPMSM drive using fuzzy adaptive mechanism(FAM) control. In general, PI controller in computer numerically controlled machine process fixed gain. They may perform well under some operating conditions, but not all. To increase the robustness, fixed gain PI controller, Hybrid PI controller proposes a new method based self tuning PI controller. Hybrid PI controller is developed to minimize overshoot and settling time following sudden parameter changes such as speed, load torque, inertia, rotor resistance and self inductance. The results on a speed controller of IPMSM are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed gain tuner. And this controller is better than the fixed gains one in terms of robustness, even under great variations of operating conditions and load disturbance.

GAs, effective stochastic search algorithms based on the model of natural evolution and genetics, have been successfully applied to various optimization problems. When population size is not large, GAs often suffer from the phenomenon of premature convergence in which all chromosomes in the population lose the diversity of genes before they find the optimal solution. In this paper, we propose that a new heuristic that maintains the diversity of genes by adding some chromosomes with random mutation and selective mutation into population during evolution. And population size changes dynamically with supplement of new chromosomes. Experimental results for several test functions show that when population size is rather small and the length of chromosome is not long, this method is effective.

The construction of rule-base for a nonlinear time-varying system, becomes much more complicated because of model uncertainty and parameter variations. Furthemore, FLC does not have an ability of adjusting rule- base in responding to some sudden changes of control environments. To cope with these problems, an auto-tuning method of the fuzzy rule-base is required. In this paper, the GA-based Fuzzy-Neural control system combining Fuzzy-Neural control theory with the genetic algorithm(GA), which is known to be very effective in the optimization problem, will be proposed. The tuning of the proposed system is performed by two tuning processes(the course tuning process and the fine tuning/adaptive learning process). The effectiveness of the proposed control system will be demonstrated by computer simulations using a two degree of freedom robot manipulator.

A self-tuning control scheme, incorporated with the simplified 1st-order ARMAX(Auto-Regressive Moving Average eXogenous) model, for single rod hydraulic cylinder which has varying dynamic characteristics is presented here. An adaptive controller is developed for the system that uses feedforward and optimal feedback control for simultaneous parameter identification and tracking control. Through experimental results, the performance comparison of the self-tuning controller with a fixed gain proportional controller clearly shows its superior ability in handling load changes in quiescent states.

Under the assumption that process input/output data are sufficiently rich to allow reasonable plant identification, a long-range predictive control method for SISO bilinear plant is derived. In order to ensure offset-free behaviour of the control method, a new bilinear CARIMA model with variable dead-time is introduced. Furthermore, to extend the maximum output prediction horizon, the future predicted outputs in the bilinear term are assumed to be equal to the known future set-points. With a classical recursive adaptation algorithm, the proposed control scheme is capable of stable control of bilinear plants with variable parameters, with variable dead-time, and with a model order which changes instantaneously. Several simulation results demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed bilinear model predictive control method.

Modulation technology that is used in High-speed Portable Internet system is BPSK, QPSK, 16QAMs and 64QAMs. If terminal is distant from base station transceiver system, BPSK or QPSK technology Is used and 16QAMs or 64QAM technology is used if is near in the base station transceiver system. In this paper, number of sub-channel in each modulation technology minimized total transmitting number of PDU is analyzed for efficient radio resources usage. For this, simulation is conducted and the results are presented at High-speed Portable Internet system environments.

This study proposes an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)-based rotor position controller for brushless direct current (BLDC) motors to improve the control performance of the drive under transient and steady-state conditions. The dynamic response of a BLDC motor to the proposed ANFIS controller is considered as standard reference input. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is compared with that of the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy PID controller. The proposed controller solves the problem of nonlinearities and uncertainties caused by the reference input changes of BLDC motors and guarantees a fast and accurate dynamic response with an outstanding steady-state performance. Furthermore, the ANFIS controller provides low torque ripples and high starting torque. The detailed study includes a MATLAB-based simulation and an experimental prototype to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed topology.
