In order to optimize the carrot hairy root culture for SOD production, a fed-batch culture of hairy roots was performed in a bioreactor. Maximum SOD activity was obtained when the hairy roots were transferred to the MS medium containing 110 g/1 concentration of sucrose. By controlling the sucrose concentration (70 g/1 sucrose for growth and 110 g/1 sucrose far production, respectively) In a two-stage fed-batch culture, 29 g/1 of the hairy roots was obtained based on the final dry mass. The volumetrically determined SOD activity and productivity in the fed-batch culture were about 6 times higher than those from the flask culture containing sucrose at 30 g/1 concentration.

In-process quality control and high reliability of the weld are the major concerns in applying friction welding to the economical and qualified mass-production. Experimental examinations and quantitative analysis were performed for the optimiaztion of similar friction welding of hydraulic valve spool steels(SNCM220, SCM435, SACM645, SCM415, ${\varphi}24). The quantitative correlations were found between the initial cumulative counts of acoustic emission(AE) occurring during plastic deformation periods of the welding and the fatigue life as well as weld strength and welding conditions. A real-time evaluation system was developed for the friction weld quality by AE.

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(PEMFC) are very interesting power source due to high power density, simple construction and operation at low temperature. But they have problems such as high cost, improvement of performance and effect of temperature. This problems can be approached using mathematical models which are useful tools for analysis and optimization of fuel cell performance and for heat and water management, in this paper, transient model consists of various energy terms associated with fuel cell operation using the mass and energy balance equation. And water transfer in the membrane is composed of back diffusion and electro-osmotic drag. The temperature calculated by transient model approximately agreed with the temperature measured by experiment in constant current condition.

The effects of design parameters of supersonic ejector system under the assumption of constant pressure mixing were performed. Design parameters were mass flow rate ratio, area ratio between primary and secondary flow, and primary Mach number. 1-D theoretical performance of ejector in terms of pressure ratio and contraction ratio with and without loss mechanism such as diffuser efficiency and friction were considered.

Development of a model predictive control(MPC) algorithm and its application to the condensate recycle process of a cogeneration power station has been conducted. The cogeneration power station has different characteristics from other industrial processes where MPC has been dominantly applied in that the operating mode changes continuously with seasons and we Ether. Such a characteristic makes it difficulty, a linearized model was derived from mass and pressure balances and linearization. The MPC algorithm has been developed so that the controller tuning is easy with one tuning knob for each output and the constrained optimization is solved by an interior point method. Performance of the MPC algorithm has been verified with the numerically simulated process under various disturbance scenarios and mode changes.

The sealed, tuned liquid column gas damper (TLCGD) with gas-spring effect extends the frequency range of application up to about 5 Hz and efficiently increases the modal structural damping. In this paper the influence of several TLCGDs to reduce coupled translational and rotational vibrations of plan-asymmetric buildings under wind or seismic loads is investigated. The locations of the modal centers of velocity of rigidly assumed floors are crucial to select the design and the optimal position of the liquid absorbers. TLCGD's dynamics can be derived in detail using the extended non-stationary Bernoulli's equation for moving reference systems. Modal tuning of the TLCGD renders the optimal parameters by means of a geometrical transformation and in analogy to the classical tuned mass damper (TMD). Subsequently, fine-tuning is conveniently performed in the state space domain. Numerical simulations illustrate a significant reduction of the vibrations of plan-asymmetric buildings by the proposed TLCGDs.

It was compared with experimental data to verify TRNSYS Model of the thermosyphon hot water system and the various simulations were conducted to optimize the component parameters of the system. To obtain consistent simulation results the system model, which could accurately describ the thermal storage tank temperature stratification and the friction head for mass flow rate, was used. The optimization of collector parameters(collector aspect ratio, riser numbers per header unit length), thermal storage tank parameters(ratio of tank length to tank diameter, heat exchanger type), system parameters(ratio of tank volume to collector area) was simulated by TRNSYS program. The simulation results indicate that the system performance is more effected by collector aspect ratio and the ratio of tank volume to collector area than the othor parameters.

A numerical study on the Trombe wall system, a kind of passive solar systems, has been peformed. The system is modelled as the 2-dimensional steady laminar flow with the natural convection. The PHOENICS code was employed to analyse the performance variation due to the change in the geometrical factor. The mass flow rate and the maximum temperature are changed by the variations in the width of the vents, the width between the window and the wall, and the location of the vents. And there exists the optimal condition to maximize the utilization factor. Further precise analysis has been performed to show the optimal geometry with regard to the above three factors.

Medium size rotorcraft consist of approximately 5,000 key components. The components must satisfy the target weight and performance requirement through optimization. Therefore a rotorcraft component has approximately 100 times higher unit cost for mass production than the equivalent of an automobile's, along with huge development cost. Configuration management consists of four main parts : configuration identification, configuration control, configuration audit, and data management. In development programme, configuration management is one of the methods to save development cost, and setting a well-structured configuration management system according to the Military Standard is an important factor in success of the programme. The paper proposes a configuration management system suitable for development of various multi-use components development and presents that the configuration management was performed successfully during dual-use component development programme using the established system.

Attempts have been applied to reduce the vibration of slab. There are several method in the vibration control of slab from a traditional method such as increment of mass or stiffness of slab to a innovative method augmenting damping of slab. In this study, a attempt has been made to increase the effective damping in slab using the viscoelastic dampers made of viscoelastic material. The dampers are installed in a gab between slab and a beam. It is assumed that the stiffness of the beam is infinity for simplicity of the evaluation. we evaluate the reduction effect of the slab selected through numerical simulation and optimization process by applying it to a FEM model. The numerical simulation shows that the effective damping is increased as the number of bean is increased and the vibration control effect is very high.
