This paper represents a design method for PID or low-order controllers cascaded with a linear plant in the unit feedback system where it is required to meet the given time response specifications such as overshoot and settling time. This problem is difficult to solve because the zeros of the controller appear in the numerator of the overall system and thus those zeros may make the time response design difficult. In this paper, we propose a new approach based on the partial model matching and the so called K-polynomial. The partial matching problem is formulated to an optimization problem in which a quadratic function of coefficient errors between a target model and the resulting closed loop system is minimized. For the sake of satisfying the closed loop stability, a set of quadratic constraints associated with the cost function is introduced. As a result, the controller designed meets both time response requirements and the closed loop stability, if any. It is shown through several examples that the present method can be easily applied to these problems.

A lot of efforts have been focused on the optimization of PIT parameters for Bi-2223/Ag wire. Bi-2223 superconducting wires with 55 filaments were fabricated by stacking, drawing process. Before rolling process, round wires were pre -annealed at 760 - 820 $^{\circ}C$ and low oxygen partial pressure. We confirmed that pre-annealing step was to transform Bi-2212 orthorhombic structure from Bi-2212 tetragonal structure and to reduce the formation of second phases. However Bi-2223 phases also were formed at higher than 76$0^{\circ}C$ of pre-annealing temperature. The engineering critical current densities (Je) of Bi-22231Ag tapes were sintered at low oxygen partial pressure were higher than t hat of the wires sintered at air. We could achieve 6500 A/${cm}^2$ of Je for the tape that was initially kept at slightly higher temperature than that of normal heat treatment.

Using DFT B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculation method, stable molecular structures were optimized for the p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene functionalized at lower rim by cage-annulated crown ether (1) in two different conformers and their potassium-ion complexes. Cone conformer of free host 1 was slightly more stable than partial-cone conformer. For two different kinds of complexation mode, the potassium ion in benzene-rings (bz) pocket showed comparable complexation efficiency with the cation in cage-annulated crown-ether (cr) for the cone and partial-cone conformers of 1. The complex (1${\bullet}K^+$) in the cr-binding mode for the partial-cone conformer was more stable than the cone conformer for B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) geometry optimization. However, $1_{(cone)}{\bullet}K^+$(cr) showed lower single-point energy than the $1_{(pc)}{\bullet}K^+$(cr) for B3LYP/6- 31+G(d,p) calculation method.

The inflence of hydrophilic vehicles on percutaneous absorption rate of griseofulvin was studied using intact skin of full thickness of hairless rat. The in vitro absorption rates were used as the characteristics for deciding the optimum formula of ointment vehicles. The optimum formula of vehicle compositions for maximum absorption rate was obtained from the polynomial regression equation and the two graphical techniques, contour graph and partial derivative graph. It was composed of sodium lauryl sulfate (1.65 W /W%), white petrolatum (16.5 W /W%), propylene glycol (12.0 W /W%), and stearyl alcohol (19.6W /W%). The experimental value obtained from the optimum formula and the prediction value were 33.99 and 33.87 ${\mu}g/\sqrt{min}$, respectively. From these results, it was believed that optimum formula for semisolid dosage forms could be obtained from the application of the optimization technique used in this study.

In this paper, we study a manufacturing system of serial stages with general service times, in which the production of each stage and the coordination of stages are controlled by Kanban discipline. This Kanban discipline is modeled as a Discrete Event Dynamic System and a system of recursive equations is applied to study the dynamics of the system. The recursive relationship enables us to compare this Kanban discipline with the other blocking disciplines such as transfer blocking, service blocking, block-and-hold b, and block-and-hold K, and the Kanban is shown to be superior to the other disciplines in terms of makespan and throughput. As a special case, two stages Kanban system is modeled as $C_2/C_2/1/N$ queueing system, and a recursive algorithm is developed to calculate the system performance. In optimizing the system performance, the stochastic optimization approach of Robbins-Monro is employed via perturbation analysis, the way to estimate the stochastic partial derivative based on only one sample trajectory of the system, and the required commuting condition is verified. Then the stochastic convexity result is established to provide second-order optimality condition for this parametric optimization problem.

In order to determine new settings of key process variables optimally, a new rule induction method through a historical data is proposed without using an explicit functional model between process and quality variables. First, a partial least square is used to reduce the dimensionality of the process variables. Then new process settings that yield the best quality variable are identified by sequentially partitioning the reduced latent variable space using a patient rule induction method. The proposed method is illustrated with a case study obtained from steel-making processes. We also show, through simulation, that the proposed method gives more stable results than estimating an explicit function even when the form of the function is known in advance.

This paper deals with multi-objective optimization problem of finding a set of well-distributed solutions close to the true Pareto optimal solutions. In this paper, we present a two-leveled symbiotic evolutionary algorithm to efficiently solve the problem. Most of the existing multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) operate one population that consists of individuals representing the complete solution to the problem. The proposed algorithm maintains several populations, each of which represents a partial solution to the entire problem, and has a structure with two levels. The parallel search and the structure are intended to improve the capability of searching diverse and good solutions. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with those of the existing algorithms in terms of convergence and diversity. The experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The intrinsic reactivity of $S_N2$reaction in the gas phase was discussed MO theoretically (CNDO/2). We investigated the changes in geometry and electronic structure by means of the partial geometry optimization for reactantes, transition states, and products with various nucleophiles and leaving groups. We found that it was possible to discuss qualitatively the reactivity of $S_N2$ reaction with CNDO/2 MO calculation and the reactivity was controlled by basicity and of induced polarizability.

In this paper, a recurrent cerebellar modulation articulation control with praticle swarm optimization (PSO) method has been investigated for improvement of noise attenuation performance in active noise control system. For narrow band noise, FXLMS and RCMAC has a partial satisfactory noise attenuation. However, noise attenuation performance is poor for broad band noise and nonlinear path since it has linear filter structure. To improve this problem, a RCMAC with PSO is proposed and it is shown that satisfactory noise attenuation performance is obtained by some simulations in duct system using harmonic motor noise and KTX cabin noise as a noise source.

With the continuous increase of computational capacity, more and more complex nonlinear elastoplastic constitutive models were developed to study the mechanical behavior of elastoplastic materials. These constitutive models generally contain a large amount of physical and phenomenological parameters, which often require a large amount of computational costs to determine. In this paper, an inverse parameter determination method is proposed to identify the constitutive parameters of elastoplastic materials, with the consideration of both strain rate effect and temperature effect. To carry out an efficient design, a hybrid optimization algorithm that combines the genetic algorithm and the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm is proposed and developed. The proposed inverse method was employed to determine the parameters for an elasto-viscoplastic constitutive model and Johnson-cook model, which demonstrates the capability of this method in considering strain rate and temperature effect, simultaneously. This hybrid optimization algorithm shows a better accuracy and efficiency than using a single algorithm. Finally, the predictability analysis using partial experimental data is completed to further demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
