A method is proposed for locating the heat sources from temperature observations, and its applicability is investigated for urban thermal environment simulations. A Lagrangian particle dispersion model, which is originally built for simulating the pollutants spread in the air, is exploited to identify the heat sources by transporting the Lagrangian heat particles backwards in time. The urban wind fields are estimated using a diagnostic meteorological model incorporating the morphological model for the urban canopy. The proposed method is tested for the horizontally homogeneous urban boundary layer problems. The effects of the turbulence levels and the computational time on the simulation are investigated.

This paper considers a facility location problem, which is concerned with locating facilities on a supply chain network and installing the associated equipments at the facilities to meet a given set of demands. The objective function is to minimize the sum of setup cost (facility opening cost and equipment installation cost), operation cost, and distribution cost. For the equipments, various choices of equipment modes need to be determined. Moreover, in the problem, overwork is allowed each facility but at expensive operation cost. The proposed problem is characterized as being NP-hard problem, so that a heuristic algorithm is derived. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, computational experiments with various numerical instances are conducted.

This paper addresses a network design problem in a supply chain system that involves locating both plants and distribution centers, and determining the best strategy for distributing products from the suppliers to the plants, from the plants to the distribution centers and from the distribution centers to the customers. This paper suggests a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm (CCEA) approach to solve the model. First, the problem is decomposed into three subproblems for each of which the chromosome population is created correspondingly. Each chromosome in each population is represented as a permutation denoting the priority. Then an algorithm generating a solution from the combined set of chromosomes from each population is suggested. Also an algorithm evaluating the performance of a solution is suggested. An experimental study is carried out. The results show that our CCEA tends to generate better solutions than the previous CCEA as the problem size gets larger and that the permutation representation for chromosome used here is better than other representation.

Overproduction of Escherichia coli thiol peroxidase in the periplasmic space was achieved by locating the appropriate gene on a downstream region of the strong T7 promoter. E. coli strain BL21 carrying the recombinant plasmid pSK-TPX was induced by IPTG, lysed, and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A large amount of the overexpressed thiol peroxidase was located in the periplasmic space. A homogeneous thiol peroxidase was obtained from E. coli osmotic shock fluid by simple one-step gel permeation chromatography.

The early detection of brest cancer is clearly a key ingredient for any strategy designed to reduce breast cancer mortality. Microcalcification(MCC) is one of the primary signatures to discriminate between normal and cancerous tissue. The detection and locating procedures can be automated by digital image processing, however, MCCs have various sizes, shapes, and intensity levels in film images, so it is difficult to find accurate locations and sizes. Firstly, we made quantitative analysis for many characteristic features of mammograms that can be used to segment MCCs from normal tissues. Secondly, we developed algorithms proper to segmentation like pattern matching. The performance was evaluated with TP and FP rates.

무선을 이용한 위치 추적방법은 최근에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이 방법들은 적용지역환경 및 대상에 따라 적절한 방법을 선정하여 사용하는 것이 중요할 뿐만 아니라 신뢰성을 갖는 것 또한 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 일정한 노선으로 움직이는 열차라는 이동체를 대상으로 하여 적용 가능한 알고리즘에 대하여 검토하였으며, 이는 1차원에서 물체의 위치를 추적하는 방법으로써, 열차와 같은 일정한 노선 위를 이동하는 물체의 위상을 추적하여 이동체의 위치를 결정하는 알고리즘을 구현을 위한 방법과 조건을 제시하였으며 철도시스템으로 확장 적용을 위한 알고리즘을 제시하였다.

Various monitoring techniques are now available for structural health monitoring and Acoustic Emission (AE) is one of them. One of the major advantages of the AE technique is its capability to locate active cracks in structural members. AE crack locating approaches are affected by the signal attenuation and dispersion of elastic waves due to inhomogeneity and geometry of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In this paper, a novel technique is described based on signal processing and sensor arrangement to process multisensory AE data generated by the onset and propagation of cracks and is validated with experimental results from an in-situ load test. Considering the sources of uncertainty in the AE crack location process, a methodology is proposed to capture and locate events generated by cracks. In particular, the relationship between AE events and load is analyzed, and the feasibility of using the AE technique to evaluate the cracking behavior of two RC slab strips during loading to failure is studied.

When a mobile robot moves around autonomously without man-made landmarks, it is essential to recognize the placement of surrounding objects especially for current position estimation, obstacle avoidance, or homing into the work station. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to recognize the floor paln for indoor mobile robot navigation using ultrasonic time-of-flight method. We model the floor plan as a collection of polygonal plane objects and recognize the floor plan by locating edges and vertices of the objects. The direction is estimated by the patterns of transmission beam and reception sensitivity of the ultrasonic transducer, and the distance is estimated by the correlation detection method. We show the validity of the proposed approach through experimental results and discuss the resolution and the accuracy of the estimation of direction and distance.

The collision-free path planning presented here uses linear parametric curve with one intermediate connection point between start and target points. The algorithm, in which connection point is organized in elliptic chord.(.theta., .delta.), maps objects in Euclidean Space into images in CPS through intersection check between path and obstacles a process defined as GM. Elliptic locus has special property that the total distance between focus points through a point on ellipse is the same regardless of .theta.. Hence by locating the start and target points to focus points of ellipse, and organizing connection point in elliptic coordinate, the .delta.-axis of CPS represents length of path. The GM of EWS requires calculation of interference in circumferential direction only. The procedures for GM is developed which include categorization of obstacles to reduce calculation amount. Simulations of GM of EWS, on a PC with Pentium/90MHz, is carried out to measure performance of algorithm and the results are reported on a table. The simulations are done for number of cases with different number of obstacles and location of start/target points.
