This paper presents a new method which applies a genetic algorithm(GA) for determining which sectionalizing switch to operate in order to solve the distribution system loss minimization re-configuration problem. The distribution system loss minimization re-configuration problem is in essence a 0-1 planning problem which means that for typical system scales the number of combinations requiring searches becomes extremely large. In order to deal with this problem, a new a roach which applies a GA was presented. Briefly, GA are a type of random number search method, however, they incorporate a multi-point search feature. Further, every point is not is not separately and respectively renewed, therefore, if parallel processing is applied, we can expect a fast solution algorithm to result.

Aerothermodynamic characteristics of re-entry vehicles in hypersonic speed regimes are investigated by applying CFD methods based on the Navier-Stokes-Fourier equations. A special emphasis is placed on the effects of high temperature chemically reacting gases on shock stand-off distance and thermal characteristics of the flowfields. A ten species model is used for describing the kinetic mechanism for high temperature air. In particular, the hypersonic flows around a cylinder are computed with and without chemically reacting effects. It is shown that, when the chemically reacting effects are taken into account, the shock stand-off distance and temperature are significantly reduced.

Air-cooled split-type air conditioners (AC) are very popular in high-rise residential and commercial buildings in Korea. The performance of such AC systems varies significantly with system characteristics and environmental conditions. Particularly, the outdoor condensing unit of the system, if poorly cooled due to high density of AC distribution and restricted outdoor space, will result in large decrease of cooling efficiency and increase of electrical energy consumption and may further jeopardize the system reliability. This paper presents a numerical analysis on the thermal and energy performance of a group of air-cooled air conditioners installed at a courtyard of a high-rise building. The study introduces a series of new energy performance indices to assess the group performance of the AC condensers with different outdoor unit layouts. The results not only indicate the COP of the systems, but also quantify the system capacity and energy consumption. The evaluation method and indices developed are useful for guiding the design of the distribution plan of the AC units at building re-entrants.

Seismic resilience is a key feature for buildings that play a strategic role within the community. In this framework, not only the structural and non-structural elements damage but also the protracted structural dysfunction can contribute significantly to overall seismic damage and post-seismic crisis situations. Reduction of the residual and peak displacements and energy dissipation by replaceable elements are some effective aspects to pursue in order to enhance the resilience. Control systems able to adapt their response based on the nature of events, such as active or semi-active, can achieve the best results, but also require higher costs and their complexity jeopardizes their reliability; on the other hand, a passive control system is not able to adapt but its functioning is more reliable and characterized by lower costs. In this study it is proposed a strategy for the optimization of the dissipative capacity of a seismic resistant system obtained placing in parallel two different groups dissipative Re-Centering Devices, specifically designed to enhance the energy dissipation, one for the low and the other for the high intensity earthquakes. In this way the efficiency of the system in dissipating the seismic energy is kept less sensitive to the seismic intensity compared to the case of only one group of dissipative devices.

콩은 식량작물 중 단백질 함량이 매우 높고 식생활에서 여러가지 형태로 소비되기 때문에 매우 중요한 식량자원 중 하나이다. 콩은 일반적으로 노지에서 재배되기 때문에 콩의 생산량 및 품질은 갑작스런 기후 변화에 큰 영향을 받는다. 최근 폭염 및 폭우 등과 같은 이상기후로 인해 콩의 생산량이 불안정해짐에 따라 콩의 생육을 실시간으로 추정하여 품질저하를 예방할 수 있는 기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 회전익무인기에 장착된 다중분광 센서를 이용하여 콩 생육을 추정하기 위해 수행되었다. 반사값을 이용하여 산출된 정규화 식생지수(NDVI, GNDVI)와 단순비 식생지수(RRVI, GRVI)와 콩 생육 데이터(생체중, 건물중, 엽면적지수)로 선형회귀분석을 실시하여 생육 추정 모델을 개발하였다. 그 결과, 정규화 식생지수인 NDVI를 이용한 엽면적 지수 추정 모델(R²=0.587, RMSE=1.01 ㎡/㎡, RE=48.98%)보다 GNDVI를 이용한 엽면적 지수 추정 모델(R²=0.789, RMSE=0.73 ㎡/㎡, RE=34.91%)이 높은 정밀도가 나타났으며, 단순비 식생지수를 이용한 엽면적 지수 추정 모델 RRVI (R²=0.760, RMSE=0.78 ㎡/㎡, RE=37.26%) GRVI (R²=0.828, RMSE=0.66 ㎡/㎡, RE=31.59%)과 비교 했을 때, 단순비 식생지수에서 높은 정밀도가 나타났다. 기후변화에 대체하기 위해 재식밀도 및 변량 시비와 같은 재배관리법이 적용된다면, 고품질의 콩을 생산하는데 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}$ were used as an insulator layer to fabricate ReRAM devices. The resistance change is correlated to the appearance or disappearance of a conductivity filament at the surface of the GeSbTe layer. Changes in the electrical properties of ITO/GeSbTe/Ag devices were measured using a I-V-L measurement system. As a result, compared to the $ITO/Ge_8Sb_2Te_{11}/Ag$ device, this $ITO/Ge_2Sb_2Te_5/Ag$ ReRAM device exhibits highly uniform bipolar resistive switching characteristics, such as the operating voltages, and the resistance values.

The presence of narrowband interference (NBI) in Direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) systems is an inevitable problem when the interference is strong enough. The improvement in the system performance employs by adaptive narrowband interference suppression techniques. Basically there have been two types of method for narrowband interference suppression estimator/subtracter approaches and transform domain approaches. In this paper the focus is on the type of estimator/subtracter approaches. However, the binary direct sequence (DS) signal, that acts as noise in the prediction process is highly non-Gaussian. The case of a Gaussian interferer with known in an autoregressive (AR) signal or a digital signal and also in a sinusoidal signal (Tone) that included in is paper. The proposed NBI suppression is presence in an adaptive IIR notch filter for lattice structure and more powerful by using a variable step-size algorithm. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the convergence rate and improved system performance when compare with adaptive least mean square algorithm (LMS).

TMixed convective flow in a bottom heated and top cooled rectangular channel can be significantly affected by the channel aspect ratio, Prandtl number, Reynolds number, Rayleigh number and angle of inclination. In such a mixed convection, the flow pattern plays an important role in various technological processes. In this study, a numerical investigation is carried out to explore mixed convection in a three-dimensional rectangular channel with bottom heated and top cooled uniformly. The three-dimensional governing equations are discretized using the finite volume method. In the range of low Reynolds number($0{\leq}Re{\leq}9.6{\times}10^{-2}$), the effects of the aspect ratio($2{\leq}AR{\leq}12$) and Gr/Re are presented and discussed. The longitudinal roll number in the channel is increased with increasing aspect ratio, and the roll number induced, regardless of the aspect ratio number, is even in the range of aspect ratios between 2 and 12, New vortex flow structure containing inclined longitudinal rolls is found, which is affected by aspect ratio and Reynolds number. The ratio Gr/Re is used to check the relative magnitudes of forced and natural convection in the mixed convective flow of high viscous fluid.

철근콘크리트 구조물 형태의 건설공사에 있어 철근공사는 구조적인 측면이나 공사비 비중으로 볼 때 매우 중요한 부분을 차지한다. 철근물량의 정확한 산출은 이러한 철근공사의 효과적인 관리를 위한 기본적인 업무로 볼 수 있으나, 기술의 발전이나 개선 노력에도 불구하고 여전히 철근 숙련공의 경험이나 인력에 의존하는 전 근대적인 방식에서 벗어나지 못하는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 철근 물량을 부재별/배근별로 보다 신속하고 정확하게 산출하기 위한 전산프로그램의 개발을 목적으로 하며, 이를 위해 연결된 부재의 철근 배근 상태를 감안하여 이음길이와 정착 길이, 피복두께등을 고려한 물량산출 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발된 프로그램은 전문 인력의 판단이 아닌 논리적인 게산에 의해 신속하게 수량을 산출할 수 있으며, 설계 변경이 잦은 철근공사에 유연하게 대처할 수 있다는 장점을 지니며 물량산출 과정에서 나온 결과 값을 바탕으로 시공 상세도를 자동으로 작성하는 기능을 포함한다.

In a companion paper, Pasala and Nagarajaiah analytically and experimentally validate the Adaptive Length Pendulum Smart Tuned Mass Damper (ALP-STMD) on a primary structure (2 story steel structure) whose frequencies are time invariant (Pasala and Nagarajaiah 2012). In this paper, the ALP-STMD effectiveness on a primary structure whose frequencies are time varying is studied experimentally. This study experimentally validates the ability of an ALP-STMD to adequately control a structural system in the presence of real time changes in primary stiffness that are detected by a real time observer based system identification. The experiments implement the newly developed Adaptive Length Pendulum Smart Tuned Mass Damper (ALP-STMD) which was first introduced and developed by Nagarajaiah (2009), Nagarajaiah and Pasala (2010) and Nagarajaiah et al. (2010). The ALP-STMD employs a mass pendulum of variable length which can be tuned in real time to the parameters of the system using sensor feedback. The tuning action is made possible by applying a current to a shape memory alloy wire changing the effective length that supports the damper mass assembly in real time. Once a stiffness change in the structural system is detected by an open loop observer, the ALP-STMD is re-tuned to the modified system parameters which successfully reduce the response of the primary system. Significant performance improvement is illustrated for the stiffness modified system, which undergoes the re-tuning adaptation, when compared to the stiffness modified system without adaptive re-tuning.
