Bursting during tube hydroforming is preceded by localized necking. The retardation of the initiation of necking is a means to enhance hydroformability. Since high strain gradients occur at the necking sites, a decrease in local strain gradients is an effective way to retard the initiation of necking. In the current study, the expansion at potential necking sites was intentionally restricted in order to reduce the strain gradient at potential necking sites. From the strain distribution obtained from FEM, it is possible to determine strain concentrated zones, which are the potential necking sites. Prior to the hydroforming of a trailing arm, an incompressible material(such as lead) is attached to the tube where the strain-concentrated zone would contact the die. Due to the incompressibility of lead, the tube expansion is locally restricted, and the resultant strain extends to adjacent regions of the tube during hydroforming. After the first stage of hydroforming, the lead is removed from the tube, and the hydroforming continues to the final targeted shape without any local restriction. This method was successfully used to fabricate a complex shaped automotive trailing arm that had previously failed during traditional hydroforming fabrication.

Since Fukushima nuclear power plant (NPP) accident in 2011, the importance of research on various severe accident phenomena has been emphasized. Particularly, detailed analysis of combustion risk is necessary following the containment damage caused by combustion in the Fukushima accident. Many studies have been conducted to evaluate the risk of local hydrogen concentration increases and flame propagation using computational code. In particular, the potential for combustion by local hydrogen concentration in specific areas within the containment has been emphasized. In this study, the process of flame propagation generated inside a reactor core to containment during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) was analyzed using MELCOR 2.1 code. Later in the LOCA scenario, it was expected that hydrogen combustion occurred inside the reactor core owing to oxygen inflow through the cold leg break area. The main driving force of the oxygen intrusion is the elevated containment pressure due to the molten corium-concrete interaction. The thermal and mechanical loads caused by the flame threaten the integrity of the containment. Additionally, the containment spray system effectiveness in this situation was evaluated because changes in pressure gradient and concentrations of flammable gases greatly affect the overall behavior of ignition and subsequent containment integrity.

Brain tumors or gliomas are fatal cancer species with high recurrence rates due to their strong invasiveness. Therefore, the goal of surgery is complete tumor resection. However, the surgery is difficult to distinguish the border because tumors and blood vessels have the same color tone and shape. The fluorescein sodium is used as a fluorescence contrast agent for boundary separation. When the external light source is irradiated, yellow fluorescence is expressed in the tumor, which helps distinguish between blood vessels and tumor boundaries. But, the fluorescence expression of fluorescence sodium depends on the concentration of fluorescein sodium and such analytical data is insufficient. The unclear fluorescence can obscure the boundaries between blood vessels and tumors. In addition, reduce the efficiency of fluorescence sodium use. This paper proposes a protocol of concentration range for fluorescence expression conditions. Fluorescent expression was observed using a near-infrared (NIR) color camera with corresponding dilution using normal saline in 1 ml microtube. The flunoresence emission density range is 1.00 mM to 0.15 mM. The fluorescence emission begin to 1.00 mM and the 0.15 mM discolor. The discolor is difficult to fluorescence emission condition obserbation. Thus, the maximum density range of the bright fluoresecein is 0.15 mM to 0.30 mM. When the concentration range of fluorescein sodium is analyzed based on the gradient of fluorescence expression and the power measurement, the brightest fluorescence is expected to facilitate the complete resection of the tumor. For the concentration range protocol, setting concentration ranges and analyzing fluorescence expression image according to saturation and brightness to find optimal fluorescence concentration are important. Concentration range protocols for fluorescence expression conditions can be used to find optimal concentrations of substances whose expression pattern varies with concentration ranges. This study is expected to be helpful in the boundary classification and resection of brain tumors and glioma.

경안천 유입부(G 1)부터 팔당댐 앞 (P)까지의 2002년도 수질변동을 팔당호 전체 수질분포및 강우시기 등과 연동하여 평가하였다. 연평균 COD, 총인 및 총질소 농도는 경안천 유입부에서 댐 쪽으로 갈수록 농도가 크게 낮아지는 것으로 나타나, 경안천 유입하천의 높은 오염도가 직접 댐 앞 수질에 미치는 영향은 크지 않은 것으로 판단되었다. 조사시기 및 지점별 COD, 총인 및 총질소 농도는 강우기 (8, 9월)가 다른 조사시기에 비해 지점 간 차이가 적고, 초기농도도 상대적으로 낮았다. 클로로필 a 농도는 강우기 이후(10 ${\sim}$ 12월)보다는 이전(3${\sim}$6월)에 각 지점별 농도차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 팔당호 전체 수질분포에서, 북한강 유입수역 수온은 다른 수역에 비해 8월은 낮고 11월에는 높게 나타났다. COD와 SS농도는 강우기에는 각 수역별로 비교적 큰 농도차이를 보였으나 11월에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 농도도 낮았다. 4월 높았던 클로로필 a 농도는 강우기에는 현저하게 낮은 농도를 보였다. 4월에는 비교적 수심이 낮은 경안천 유입수역에서도 8월 및 11월에 비해 표층과 심층간의 수온 차가 크게 나타났다. 댐 앞 지점 SS농도는 4월에 표층에서 높고 8월에는 심층에서 높았다. 또한 COD, 총인, 총질소 농도는 8월이 4월에 비해 상 ${\cdot}$ 하층이 비교적 잘 혼합되고, 현저하게 낮은 농도를 보였으며, 11월에도 낮은 농도를 유지하고 있는 것으로 볼 때, 팔당호에서 수질관리에 집중해야 될 시기는 여름가을보다는 봄여름기간 중인 것으로 판단되었다.

Performance of a continuous cocurrent supercritical fluid extraction column for processing of anhydrous milk fat (AMF) was determined. The extract loading increased and the extraction yield decreased as the superficial velocity of AMF increased. The maximum solubility of AMF in $CO_2$ at 4$0^{\circ}C$/3,500 psig was 0.0195g/g. The increase of the carbon dioxide density enhanced the solubility of milk fat and decreased the cholesterol concentration in the extract. Three operation conditions, such as recycle , reflux, and temperature gradient of extraction column, were tested. More short-chain fatty acvids were extracted by the reflux operation . Longchain fatty acids and thehighest ratio fo long-chain unsaturated to saturated fatty acids were also obtained in the raffinate phase with refluex.

Topography influences shallow landslide initiation through both concentration of subsurface flow and the gradient on slope stability. A model for the topographic influence on shallow landslide initiation developed by Mongomerry et al (1994) is applied to 24 places with similar terrain and subsurface flow. The criterion of landslide prone areas developed by Korea Forestry Administration (1998) is likely to misinterpreted under the condition of heavy rainfall. Soil saturation can be predicted by this model. This relative soil saturation can be used to analyze the stability of each topographic point in the case of cohesionless soils with spatially constant thickness and saturated conductivity. The three different stages of steady state rainfall predicting to cause instability in each topographic points provide a good measure of shallow landsliding possibility.

For over a decade, research and development on submerged hardware in continuous galvanizing pots has been carried out at Teck's Product Technology Centre. The outcome of numerous laboratory tests and field trials has demonstrated that dissimilar materials with comparable surface hardness are most suitable for the manufacture of roll bearings. Wear debris can be easily retained in bearings made of the same material, thereby negatively affecting bearing performance and service life. Bearings made of the same materials are also vulnerable to catastrophic failures. The dissolution of iron from the coated strip creates an iron-rich zone associated with a high concentration gradient in the vicinity of the sink roll. Consequently, the sink roll becomes a preferential site for dross pick-up. In operations involving extremely high temperatures, such as in Galvalume production, the material selection for pot hardware is immaterial to the final corrosion product of the hardware and the pick-up on the hardware.

Bacteriophage f2 were treated with ozone at various concentrations for 20 minutes. The inactivation kinetics of f2 phage were examined during ozonation. In order to study the mode of action of ozone on the phage f2, absorption of the phage to the host pili was meassured by utilyzing radioactivity of tritium incorporated into the phage RNA. Sucrose density gradient analysis and electron microscopy were also used to prove the mechanism of ozone inactivation of the phage. Strucural proteins of the phage were broken by ozonation into many protein subunits. The extent of phage breakage was proportional to ozone concentration and reaction time. Percent decrease of the phage absorption to the host pili was coincident with the rate of ozone inactivation of the phage. Ozone inactivation of bacteriophage f2 was shown to be caused by the breakage of the structural protein and blockage of the phage absorption to the host pili.

The soil erosion processes have estimated using spatial distribution of 137Cs radionuclide in Granite and Sedimentary Hillslopes in South Korea. The local variability of 137Cs inventory indicates that was related positively to organic matter content, clay content and water content and negatively to hydraulic permeability and slope gradient for bulk samples in different landforms within Granite and Sedimentary rock basins. The vertical variability of 137Cs inventory shows that most of 137Cs concentration and organic matter were accumulated between 0 and 2cms and gradually decrease with soil depth in incremental samples in both basins. The vertical variability of 137Cs inventories shows that 137Csinventories increase as we go to toward downslope in both basins. Finally, the soil loss values indicate that hillslope erosion processes are more intensive in Granite rock basin than those in Sedimentary rock basin.
