SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) has been widely used in the world as a typical model for flood runoff analysis of urban areas. However, the calibration of the model is difficult, which is an obstacle to easy application. The purpose of the study is to develop an automatic calibration module of the SWMM linked with SCE-UA (Shuffled Complex Evolution-University of Arizona) algorithm. Generally, various objective functions may produce different optimization results for an optimization problem. Thus, five single objective functions were applied and the most appropriate one was selected. In addition to the objective function, another objective function was used to reduce peak flow error in flood simulation. They form a multiple objective function, and the optimization problem was solved by determination of Pareto optima. The automatic calibration module was applied to the flood simulation on the catchment of the Guro 1 detention reservoir and pump station. The automatic calibration results by the multiple objective function were more excellent than the results by the single objective function for model assessment criteria including error of peak flow and ratio of volume between observed and calculated flow. Also, the verification results of the model calibrated by the multiple objective function were reliable. The program could be used in various flood runoff analysis in urban areas.

In this study, an optimization for the emulsification process with coconut oil and sugar ester was performed in conjunction with the central composite design (CCD) model of response surface methodology (RSM). Response values for the CCD model were the viscosity of the emulsion, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7days from the reaction. On the other hand, the emulsification time, emulsification rate, and amount of emulsifier were selected as quantitative factors. According to the result of CCD, optimum conditions for the emulsification were as follows; the emulsification time of 22.63 min, emulsification speed of 6,627.41 rpm, and amount of emulsifier of 2.29 wt.%. Under these conditions, the viscosity, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7 days from reaction were estimated as 1,707.56 cP, 1877.05 nm, and 93.23%, respectively. The comprehensive satisfaction of the CCD was indicated as 0.8848 with an average error of $1.2{\pm}0.1%$ from the experiment compared to that of the theoretical one. Overall, a very low error rate could be obtained when the central composite model was applied to the optimized coconut oil to water emulsification.

A fundamental study was carried out on automatic steering control necessary for autonomous operation of shield TBMs in the future. It outlines and proposes theories and algorithms for predicting the strokes of articulation jacks used in a shield TBM and calculating the three-dimensional path coordinates of the shield TBM based on these predictions. To predict the strokes of articulation jacks, two methods were applied: a machine learning model based on the random forest regressor, and an iterative calculation method to satisfy a preset allowable error. For the iterative calculation, optimization methods were applied to reduce computation time. The mean and variance of the relative errors from the iterative calculation with allowable error were found to be relatively smaller than the predictions of the machine learning model. However, even with optimization methods applied, the iterative calculation method showed limitations in the allowable error that could be applied in terms of computation time. Therefore, it would be better to apply the machine learning model when real-time calculation speed is crucial. On the other hand, when pre-calculated results can be used during construction, the iterative calculation can be applied to achieve higher accuracy.

We propose methods of linear transceiver design for two different power constraints, sum relay power constraint and per relay power constraint, which determine signal processing matrices such as base station (BS) transmitter, relay precoders and user receivers to minimize sum mean square error (SMSE) for multi-relay multi-user (MRMU) networks. However, since the formulated problem is non-convex one which is hard to be solved, we suboptimally solve the problems by defining convex subproblems with some fixed variables. We adopt iterative sequential designs of which each iteration stage corresponds to each subproblem. Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) theorem and SMSE duality are employed as specific methods to solve subproblems. The numerical results verify that the proposed methods provide comparable performance to that of a full relay cooperation bound (FRCB) method while outperforming the simple amplify-and-forward (SAF) and minimum mean square error (MMSE) relaying in terms of not only SMSE, but also the sum rate.

This paper proposes a setup for a best multisine design method that uses a time-domain optimization. The method is based on minimization of the time-domain error, so its resulting multisine has a very accurate ACLR estimation. This is because its probability distribution and sample-to-sample correlation are close to those of the original signal, which are crucial for the testing of nonlinear power amplifiers. In addition, a hyperbolic-tangent function is introduced to control the ripple of tone magnitudes within signal bandwidth. For the verification, multisines were generated and compared for many aspects such as normalized error, in-band ripple, and ACLR estimation. Test results with different numbers of tones provide supporting evidence that the suggested multisine design has better ripple suppression, by up to 7 dB, and better accuracy, by up to 0.2 dB, when compared to the conventional method. The accuracy of the ACLR was improved by about 5 dB when the number of tones was 4. The suggested method improves the ACLR estimation performance of multisine testing due to its closer resemblance to the target modulation signal.

The calculation speed of quantum computing is expected to outperform that of existing supercomputers with regard to certain problems such as secure computing, optimization problems, searching, and quantum chemistry. Many companies such as Google and IBM have been trying to make 50 superconducting qubits, which is expected to demonstrate quantum supremacy and those quantum computers are more advantageous in computing power than classical computers. However, quantum computers are expected to be applicable to solving real-world problems with superior computing power. This will require large scale quantum computing with many more qubits than the current 50 qubits available. To realize this, first, quantum error correction codes are required to be capable of computing within a sufficient amount of time with tolerable accuracy. Next, a compiler is required for the qubits encoded by quantum error correction codes to perform quantum operations. A large-scale quantum computer is therefore predicted to be composed of three essential components: a programming environment, layout mapping of qubits, and quantum processors. These components analyze how many numbers of qubits are needed, how accurate the qubit operations are, and where they are placed and operated. In this paper, recent progress on large-scale quantum computing and the relation of their components will be introduced.

In the deep sub-micron ICs, growing amounts of on-die memory and scaling effects make embedded memories increasingly vulnerable to reliability and yield problems. Spare columns are often included in memories to repair defective cells or bit lines during production test. In many cases, the repair process will not use all spare columns. Schemes have been proposed to exploit these unused spare columns to store additional check bits which can be used to reduce the miscorrection probability for triple errors in single error correction-double error detection (SEC-DED). These additional check bits increase the dimensions of the parity check matrix (H-matrix) requiring extra area overhead. A method is proposed in this paper to efficiently fill the extra rows of the H-matrix on the basis of similarity of logic between the other rows. Optimization of the whole H-matrix is accomplished through logic sharing within a feasible operating time resulting in reduced area overhead. A detailed implementation using fuse technology is also proposed in this paper.

In this paper, we propose an iterative transceiver design in a multi-relay multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system. The design criterion is to minimize sum mean squared error (SMSE) under relay sum power constraint (RSPC) where only local channel state information (CSI)s are available at relays. Local CSI at a relay is defined as the CSI of the channel between BS and the relay in the $1^{st}$ hop link, and the CSI of the channel between the relay and all users in the $2^{nd}$ hop link. Exploiting BS transmitter structure which is concatenated with block diagonalization (BD) precoder, each relay's precoder can be determined using local CSI at the relay. The proposed scheme is based on sequential iteration of two stages; stage 1 determines BS transmitter and relay precoders jointly with SMSE duality, and stage 2 determines user receivers. We verify that the proposed scheme outperforms simple amplify-and-forward (SAF), minimum mean squared error (MMSE) relay, and an existing good scheme of [13] in terms of both SMSE and sum-rate performances.

발전소의 제어 시스템은 제어 기간이 길어짐에 따라 제어 기기의 운전 특성이 변화하므로 최초 설계 및 운전때의 성능과는 다른 제어 특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 주기적으로 제어 성능을 평가하고 평가 결과에 따라서 제어 기기의 성능 개선 작업과 제어 시스템의 제어기 상수 최적화 등의 작업을 통하여 제어 성능을 최적으로 유지하여 제어 목적을 달성하도록 하여야한다. 제어성능 평가기법은 제어 목표 값에 대한 추종성을 평가하는 Set Print Analysis 방법을 주로 사용한다. 평가 지표는 Integral Absolute Error(IAE)와 같은 Error Integral 값과 Minimum Variance방법이 실용적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 Non-Minimum Phase 특성으로 인하여 초기 운전 모드에서 정상 운전 모듈로의 원활한 전환이 어려운 수위 제어 시스템에서 제어 전환을 위한 최적 제어기 상수를 구하기 위하여 CPA 방법을 적용하였다. 일반적으로 제어성 평가는 설정치 변화에 대한 추종성을 평가하지만 본 논문에서는 제어 전환 시의 제어성 평가를 통하여 최적의 제어 전환 상수를 구하고자 하였다. 적용 결과, CPA기법은 설정시 추종성뿐만 아니라 제어 과도에서의 제어 전환 변수의 주종성에 적용하여 제어 전환을 최적화하는데도 유용함을 확인하였다.
