In this study, the effects of the concentration of metal ions and the applied current density in the Sn-Ag plating solutions were examined in regards to the resulting composition and morphology of the solder bumps' surface. Furthermore the effect of any impurities present in the methanesulfonic acid used as a base acid in the Sn-Ag solder plating solution on the stability of plating solution as well as the characteristics of the Sn-Ag alloys films was also explored. As expected, the uniform bump was obtained by means of removing impurities in the plating solution. Consequently the resultant solder bump was obtained in an optimal current density of the range of $1A/dm^2$ to $15A/dm^2$, which has acceptable bump shape and surface roughness with 12inch wafer trial results.

A pilot scale anaerobic fixed-bed with a reactor volume of $2.8m^3$ was built to treat slaughterhouse wastewater. Bamboo rings were chosen as support media mainly because of their cheaper price in underdeveloped countries. Even with their lower porosity and specific surface, the reactor performance showed a maximum 95% COD removal efficiency at an organic loading rate (OLR) of $1kg\;COD/m^3-d$ with its corresponding hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 7.5 d. At a higher OLR of $4.0kg\;COD/m^3-d$, the COD removal efficiency of 75% was achieved with an HRT of 2 d. No big difference in COD removal efficiencies was found between the reactors operated in both upflow and downflow modes. Their operational behavior and effluent characteristics were similar. The effluent COD/TKN ratio of 6.67 at an OLR of $4.0kg\;COD/m^3-d$ was only marginal acceptable range for a subsequent biological denitrification process. Otherwise carbon supplementation is required at a lower OLR.

The Holographic Particle Velocimetry system can be a promising optical tool for the measurements of three dimensional particle velocities. In this research, the optical system for double pulse holographic recording and reconstruction of particle images was developed. Validation experiments for the developed system were conducted measuring the velocities of glass beads on a rotating disk. Uncertainty analysis was performed to identify the sources of all relevant errors and to evaluate their magnitude. The measurement results of distance between glass beads, size, and velocities of them using holographic method compared reasonalbly well with the known values within acceptable range of errors.

A method for the determination of basic drugs based on their reaction with picric acid to form an ion-association complex extractable into several plasticizers was developed. Ba sic drugs-picric acid complexes in acid medium could be extracted quantitatively into several plasticizers except phosphates. For example, the chlorpromazine-picric acid complex showed maximum absorbance at near 410nm and was applied to extraction spectrophotometric determination of chlorpromazine. The calibration curves are linear (r>0.998) within a range from $10^{-6}to\;5{\times}10^{-4}M$ and the precision of the method was acceptable because RSD was less than 2.6% (n=7). The factors affecting the extraction system was discussed.

The objective of this research is to examine whether the determination of development length for high strength concrete by the ACI Building Code 318-95 could be applied and the upped limit of compressive strength, 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is suitable. Eight beam specimens were tested. Each beam was designed to include two bars in tension, spliced at the center of the span. The beams were loaded in positive bending with the splice in a constant moment region. The variables used here were compressive strength and the space of stirrup within splice length. The results indicated that for (c$\div$Ktr)/db of the range of 1.5-2.0 compressive strength up to 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ is acceptable with regard to bond strength and ductility, thus the limit of compressive strength in ACI 318-95 may be extended to 800kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

statement of problem The viscoelastic property is the most important and peculiar characteristics of soft liners. But the authorized standard is not certainly established than other dental materials. purpose of study This study is aimed to compare the initial flow of gelation of the modified soft liner with 4-META with that of PMMA soft liners using dynamic method and evaluate the clinical acceptance of the trial materials. materials and method This study consists of 3 groups with the given % of 4-META powder in the Coe soft liquid; 0%, 5%, 10% Each group was tested for 10 times to record the change of G′values during 3 hours. the gelation time was recorded by the oscillating rheometer with parallel plate with 1 rad/sec. results As the results of this study, the gelation time of modified soft liner was elongated by 5 to 6 minutes. conclusion The mean gelation time of modified soft liner could be within the range of clinically acceptable.

Vasoconstriction of intracerebral arteries is the leading cause of delayed cerebral infarction and mortality following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Transcranial Doppler studies show and increase in the flow velocities of basal cerebral arteries, which usually start around day 4 following a subarachnoid hemorrhage, and peaking by days 7 to 14. Angiographic studies confirm the presence of at least some degree of MCA vasospasm when the flow velocities are higher than 100 cm/sec. Mean velocities in the 120 to 200 cm/sec range correspond to 25 to 50% luminal narrowing. MCA and ACA vsospasm is detected with around 90% specificity. Sensitivity is 80% and 50% respectively. A 200cm/sec threshold and rapid flow velocity increase exceeding 50 cm/sec on consecutive days, has been associated with subsequent infarction. Transcranial Doppler is also used to monitor the effects of endovascular treatment of vasospasm. Flow velocities decrease following successful angioplasty or papaverine infusion. Overall, transcranial Doppler studies are considered to have acceptable accuracy for the evaluation of vasospasm in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, with limitations that have to be taken into consideration in the clinical setting.

The growing concerns on environmental protection have been constantly demanding cleaner and more energy efficient vehicles without compromising any conveniences provided by the conventional vehicles. The recent significant advances in proton-exchange-membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology have shown the possibility of developing such vehicles powered by fuel cells. Several prototype fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) have been already developed by several major automotive manufactures, and all of the favorable features have been demonstrated in the public roads. FCEV is essentially a zero emission vehicle and allows to overcome the range limitation of the current battery electric vehicles. Being motivated by the laboratory and field demonstrations of the fuel cell technologies, variety of fuel cell alliances between fuel cell developers, automotive manufactures, petroleum companies and government agencies have been formed to expedite the realization of commercially viable FCEV. However, there still remain major issues that need to be overcome before it can be fully accepted by consumers. This paper describes the current fuel cell vehicle development status and the staggering challenges for the successful introduction of consumer acceptable FCEVS.

This paper presents a new motion control for singularity avoidance in 6 DOF articulated robot manipulators, based on a speed limiting algorithm for joint positions and velocities. For a given task, the robot is controlled so that the joints move with acceptable velocities and positions within the reachable range of each joint by considering the velocity limit. The proposed method was verified using MATLAB-based simulations.

A semi-continuous and automated method for quantifying atmospheric ammonia at the parts per billion level has been developed. The instrument consists of a high efficiency diffusion scrubber, an electrolytic on-line anion exchange device, and a conductivity detector. Water soluble gases in sampled air diffuse through the porous membrane and are absorbed in an absorbing solution. Interferences are eliminated by using an anion exchange devises. The electrical conductivity of the solution is measured without chromatographic separation. The collection efficiency was over 99%. Over the 0-200 ppbv concentration range, the calibration was linear with $r^2$ = 0.99. The lower limit of detection was 0.09 ppbv. A parallel analysis of Seoul air over several days using this method and a diffusion scrubber coupled to an ion chromatography system showed acceptable agreement, $r^2$ = 0.940 (n = 686). This method can be applied for ambient air monitoring of ammonia.
