Thermal Prestressing Method for continuous composite girder bridges is a new design and construction method developed to induce initial composite stresses in the concrete slab at negative bending regions. Due to the induced initial stresses, prevention of tensile cracks at concrete slab, reduction of steel girder section, and reduction of reinforcing bars are possible. Thus, economical and construction efficiency can be improved. Method for determining optimum heating region of Thermal Prestressing Method, has not been established although such method is essential for increasing efficiency of the designing process. Trial-and-error method used in previous studies is far from efficient and more rational method for computing optimal heating region is required. In this study, efficient method for determining optimum heating region in the use of Thermal Prestressing Method is developed based on artificial neural network algorithm, which is widely adopted to pattern recognition, optimization, diagnosis, and estimation problems in various fields. Back-propagation algorithm, which is commonly used as a learning algorithm in neural network problems, is used for training of the neural network. Through case studies of 2-span continuous and 3-span continuous composite girder bridges using the developed process, the optimal heating regions are obtained.

온도프리스트레싱 공법은 강합성거더교 또는 강구조물에 인위적인 온도경사를 가하여 프리스트레싱력을 도입하기 위해 개발된 공법으로, 연속 강합성거더교에 적용할 경우 부모멘트 발생지점인 연속지점부 부근의 바닥판에 프리스트레스를 도입함으로써 콘크리트 바닥판의 인장균열을 억제하는 한편, 교축방향 보강철근 사용량 및 강거더 단면을 감소시킬 수 있어 경제성과 시공성의 향상이 가능한 공법이다. 이전의 연구에서 가열구간을 설정하기 위해 사용한 시행오차법은 비효율적인 것으로 온도프리스트레싱 공법을 적용한 설계가 효율적으로 이루어지기 위해서는 보다 합리적인 적정 가열구간의 설정기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 패턴인식, 최적화, 진단 및 예측 등을 수행하는데 많이 사용되고 있는 인공신경망 이론을 적용하여 온도프리스트레싱 공법을 적용한 연속 강합성거더교의 가열구간을 효과적이고 경제적으로 설정하는 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 인공신경망 이론을 학습시키기 위한 학습알고리즘으로는 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 오차역전파 알고리즘을 사용하였으며, 이를 이용하여 2경간 및 3경간 연속 강합성거더교의 가열구간을 예측하고 유한요소해석과의 비교를 통하여 학습알고리즘의 특성 및 예측의 정확도를 분석하였다.

In the present study, we developed optimal heat supply algorithm which minimizes the heat loss through the distribution pipe line in group energy apartment. Heating load variation of group energy apartment building in accordance with outdoor air temperature was predicted by the correlation obtained from calorimeter measurements of whole households of apartment building. Supply water temperature and mass flow rate were conjugately controlled to minimize the heat loss rate through distribution pipe line. Group heating apartment located in Hwaseong city, Korea, which has 1,473 households divided in 4 regions, was selected as the object apartment for verifying the present heat supply control algorithm. Compared to the original heat supply system, 10.4% heat loss rate reduction can be accomplished by employing the present control algorithm.

The effect of process parameters on $H_2$ production from water vapor excited by HF ICP has been qualitatively examined for the first time. With the increase of ICP power, characteristics of $H_2$ production from $H_2O$ dissociation in plasma was divided into 3 regions according to both reaction mechanism and energy efficiency. At the edge of region (II) in the range of middle ICP power, energy effective hydrogen production from $H_2O$ plasma can be achieved. Furthermore, within the region (II) power condition, heating of substrate up to $500^{\circ}C$ shows additional increase of 70~80% in $H_2$ production compared to $H_2O$ plasma without substrate heating. This study have shown that combination of optimal plasma power (region II) and wall heating (around $500^{\circ}C$) is one of effective ways for $H_2$ production from $H_2O$.

태양열 가열을 도입한 해양온도차발전용 열교환기(증발기와 응축기)설계 최적화가 수행되었다. 출력은 100kW이고 작동유체는 R134a이며 고성능 상용튜브를 사용하였다. 열전달면적과 압력강하는 관수의 증가와 관통로수의 감소에 따라 서로 상반되는 경향이 존재하므로 이를 해결하기 위하여, 설비투자비에 관련되는 열전달면적과 압력강하에 관련되는 운전비용 최소화를 고려한 두 목적함수를 갖는 유전자 알고리즘(GA)을 이용하여 다목적설계최적화를 수행하였다. 설계최적화 결과, 구현 가능한 최적의 열전달면적 및 압력강하의 조합들이 적정한 관수 및 관통로 수에 대하여 존재하였다. 도출된 증발기와 응축기의 Pareto 선들은 설계자들에게 재정적인 면을 고려하여 선택할 수 있도록 넓은 범위의 최적해를 제공하였다. 또한, 총열전달면적 중 응축기의 열전달면적이 증발기 쪽보다 크게 나타났다.

열은 전력과 같이 이동속도가 빠르지 못하고 전력에 비해 손실이 비교적 크게 발생하므로 전력거래와 같이 한개의 운용센터를 두고 열 연계 시스템을 운용하는 것은 현실성이 없다. 현재 열 연계가 모두 이루어지고 있는 한국지역난방공사의 경우에도 인접한 2~4개 정도의 열병합발전소간에만 열 거래가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 열 거래를 위한 통합운용센터를 몇 개의 권역으로 나누어 각 권역마다 권역의 Hub 통합운용발전소를 두고 운용하는 것이 열매체의 특성을 반영하는데 적정하고 타당한 것으로 판단하여 집단에너지 사업자간 열 연계 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 메커니즘에 최적으로 열 거래를 행할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하고 이를 실제 사업자에 적용하여 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 검증하였다.

Ginseng is renowned for both its medicinal and herbal uses and successful cultivation of Panax ginseng in Asia and Panax Vtiinvtiefolilim in North America has until recently taken place in the native geographical ranges of the plants. As a consequence of the potential high capital return and anticipated increases in consumer consumption, commercial cultivation of American ginseng now occurs well outside the native range of the plant in North America. In fact, the region of greatest expansion of cultivation is in the semi-arid interior region of British Columbia, Canada. Linked with this expansion is the potential domination of the ginseng industry by agricultural corporations. In the interior of British Columbia, the native decidous forest environment of eastern North America is simulated with elevated polypropylene shade and a sllrface covering of straw mulch. The architecture of these environments is designed to permit maximillm machinery useage and to minimize labour requirements. Further, with only a four-year growth cycle, plant densities in the gardens are high. In this hot, semiarid environment, producers believe they have a competitive advantage over other regions in North America because of the low precipitation rates. This helps to minimize atmospheric humidity such that the conditions for fungal disease development are reduced. If soil moisture levels become limited, supplemental water can be provided by irrigation. The nature of the radiation and energy balance regimes of the shade and much environment promotes high soil moistilre levels. Also, the modified environment reduces soil heating. This can result in an aerial environment for the plant that is stressful and a rooting zone environment that is sub-optimal. The challenge of further refining the man modified environment for enhanced plant growth and health still remains.

Processing of collagen from yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) abdominal skins was optimized by response surface methodology and central composite design. The values of independent variables at optimal conditions were NaOH concentration: 0.5 N, NaOH treatment time: 36.2 hr, pepsin concentration: 1:4.9 ratio (0.245%, w/v), and digestion time: 48.1 hr, respectively. The collagen content estimated under optimal conditions was 33.1%, and the actual experimental collagen content was 32.3%. Physicochemical properties of collagen from yellowfin tuna abdominal skin were investigated by amino acids analysis, SDS-PAGE, FT-IR, viscosity and denaturation temperature. Amino acids content of the collagen was 21.0%. SDS-PAGE pattern of the collagen showed two different $\alpha$-chain (${\alpha}_1$- and ${\alpha}_2$- chain), $\beta$-component and $\gamma$-component. The spectrum of FT-IR of the collagen showed wavenumber at 3,434, 1,650, 1,542 and $1,235\;cm^{-1}$ representing the regions of amide A, I, II and III, respectively. Relative viscosity of the collagen decreased continuously on heating up to $32^{\circ}C$, and the rate of decrease was retarded in the temperature range of $35-50^{\circ}C$. Denaturation temperature (Td) of the collagen solution (0.06%, w/v) was $31^{\circ}C$ and was lower than calf skin collagen ($35^{\circ}C$).
