In bone tissue engineering, polycaprolactone (PCL) is one of the most widely used biomaterials in the manufacturing of scaffolds as a synthetic polymer having biodegradability and biocompatibility. The strut width in the fabrication of scaffolds is an important part of tissue regeneration in in-vitro and in-vivo experiments, because it affects not only the pore size but also the porosity. In this study, we used polymer deposition system (PDS) and design of experiments (DOE) to explore the optimal process conditions to achieve a systematic and efficient scaffold manufacturing process, using temperature, pressure, scan velocity, and nozzle tip height as the parameters for the experiments. The aim of this research was to fabricate a 3D PCL scaffold having a uniform strut width of $150{\mu}m$ using DOE; it was proved that the strut width was constant in all the experimental groups by fabricating the PCL scaffolds according to various pore patterns as well as one pore pattern.

In this study, an optimization for the emulsification process with coconut oil and sugar ester was performed in conjunction with the central composite design (CCD) model of response surface methodology (RSM). Response values for the CCD model were the viscosity of the emulsion, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7days from the reaction. On the other hand, the emulsification time, emulsification rate, and amount of emulsifier were selected as quantitative factors. According to the result of CCD, optimum conditions for the emulsification were as follows; the emulsification time of 22.63 min, emulsification speed of 6,627.41 rpm, and amount of emulsifier of 2.29 wt.%. Under these conditions, the viscosity, mean droplet size, and emulsion stability index (ESI) after 7 days from reaction were estimated as 1,707.56 cP, 1877.05 nm, and 93.23%, respectively. The comprehensive satisfaction of the CCD was indicated as 0.8848 with an average error of $1.2{\pm}0.1%$ from the experiment compared to that of the theoretical one. Overall, a very low error rate could be obtained when the central composite model was applied to the optimized coconut oil to water emulsification.

감포댐은 2006년 준공하여 각종 시설 및 설비의 노후화가 진행중에 있으며, 최근 감포댐 인근 지역에서 발생한 경주지진(규모 5.8) 및 포항지진(규모 5.4)이 발생하여 지진시 시설물의 안전성에 대해 중요성이 대두되고 있었다. 이에 감포댐 안전성강화 사업을 추진하게 되었고, 주요 사업내용은 취수탑 관리교 내진보강, 댐체 심벽보강을 통한 댐체 안전성확보, 비상방류시설 개선이다. 취수탑 관리교는 교각단면의 변위연성도 및 교량받침에 의한 구조물 안전성 평가를 시행하였고, 단면강도는 모멘트-곡률해석법에서 탄성영역의 단면강도 대비 탄성지진력을 비교하여 안전성을 검토하였다. 검토결과 교량받침의 내진성능은 부족한 것으로 검토되어 유량제어형 멀티펌프와 안전잭을 이용한 변위제어 방식의 교량동시 인상공법이 가능하고 인상정밀도 ±0.5mm이내의 성능을 가진 교량인상공법 적용하여 보강을 하는 것으로 계획하였다. 댐체 심벽보강을 위해 먼저 전기비저항탐사를 수행하여 전기비저항대를 탐사하여 심벽부에서 포화대가 형성된 부위를 조사하였다. 그리고 댐 상·하류에 전극을 설치하고 전류를 발생시켜 측정 지점별 자기장을 측정을 통하여 댐체내 침투에 따른 유로 형성여부 파악을 위한 전자기장탐사를 시행하였다. 마지막으로 심벽 시추조사를 시행하여 공내수를 조사하였다. 조사결과 포화대의 위치 및 이상대가 다양한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 불특정 지점에 연약대가 존재한다 판단하여 심벽부 보강계획을 전반적으로 적용하는 것으로 결정하였다. 비상방류시설은 최근 15년 실측자료의 홍수기(6~9월) 평균유입량을 적용하여 검토하였으며 검토결과 배제대상 높이 75%까지는 3.7일, 완전배제까지는 11.2일이 걸려 댐설계기준을 충족하는 것으로 검토되다. 다만 감포댐 비상방류시설이 하천제방과 직각방향으로 형성되어 있고, 하천의 폭이 좁아 과거 방류시에도 제방을 월류하는 것으로 조사되어 하천의 세굴을 방지하고 제방 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 비상방류시설에 감세공을 설치하고, 제방에 디플렉터 옹벽을 설치하는 것으로 계획하였다. 감세공은 2번에 걸친 감세효과로 방류시 하류바닥 및 옹벽 보호 효과가 큰 미국 USBR의 TypeVI를 적용하였으며, Flow-3D 모델링을 통하여 제방에 월류가 발생하지 않는 최적의 대안 옹벽규모를 산정하였다.

This study was carried out to extract ginsenosides in by-products from honeyed red ginseng. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the extraction conditions. Based on D-optimal design, independent variables were ethanol (extraction solvent) concentration (30-90%, v/v), extraction temperature ($25-70^{\circ}C$), and extraction time (5-11 h). Extraction yield (Y1) and total ginsenosides (Y2) in the extract were analyzed as dependent variables. Results found that extraction yield increased with increasing extraction temperature and time, whereas it was decreased with increasing ethanol concentration. Similar trends were found for the content of ginsenosides in the extracts, except for ethanol concentration, which was increased with increasing ethanol concentration. Regression equations derived from RSM were suggested to coincide well with the results from the experiments. The optimal extraction conditions for extraction yield and total ginsenosides were an extraction temperature of $56.94^{\circ}C$, ethanol concentration of 57.90%, and extraction time of 11 h. Under these conditions, extraction yield and total ginsenoside contents were predicted to be 84.52% and 9.54 mg/g, respectively.

This study was made to investigate the effect of variation in pulping process conditions such as wastepaper blending treatments, temperature, and chemical blending treatments on the deinked pulp. Design of experiments was used to select the major factors which significantly influenced on the deinked pulp. As one of the statistical analysis technique, analysis of variance and multiple comparison technique was used to find the best process condition and the predicted values and confidence intervals for brightness and strength were obtained. In the condition of $Na_2SiO_3$ 2.0%, $H_2O_2$ 0.5% and wastepaper blending treatments (KONP : AONP : OMG = 40 : 30 : 30 wt %) the highest brightness of 50.5% was predicted with 90% confidence interval (49.0, 52.0). On a concentration of $H_2O_2$ 0.5%, the highest tensile index of $35.7N{\cdot}m/g$ was predicted with 90% confidence interval (34.6, 36.6) at the pulping temperature of $50^{\circ}C$. On a concentration of surfactant 0.1%, the highest burst index of $0.129kPa{\cdot}m^2/g$ was predicted with 90% confidence interval (0.125, 0.133) at the pulping temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.

The conventional development of multi-component electrodes is based on the researcher's experience and is based on trial and error. Therefore, there is a need for a scientific method to reduce the time and economic losses thereof and systematize the mixing of electrode components. In this study, we use design of mixture experiments (DOME)- in particular a simplex lattice design with Design Expert^Ⓡ program- to attempt to find an optimum mixing ratio for a three-component electrode for the high RNO degradation; RNO is an indictor of OH radical formation. The experiment included 12 experimental points with 2 center replicates for 3 different independent variables (with the molar ratio of Ru, Ti, Ir). As the Prob > F value of the 'Quadratic' model is 0.0026, the secondary model was found to be suitable. Applying the molar ratio of the electrode components to the corrected response model results is an RNO removal efficiency (%) = 59.89 × [Ru] + 9.78 × [Ti] + 67.03 × [Ir] + 66.38 × [Ru] × [Ir] + 132.86 × [Ti] × [Ir]. The R² value of the equation is 0.9374 after the error term is excluded. The optimized formulation of the ternary electrode for an high RNO degradation was acquired when the molar ratio of Ru 0.100, Ti 0.200, Ir 0.700 (desirability d value, 1).

Injection pressure is one of factors that influence part quality. In this paper, injection pressure was minimized by optimizing valve gate locations. In order to perform design optimization, MAPS-3DTM (Mold Analysis and Plastic Solution-3D) was used for injection mold analysis and PIAnOTM (Process Integration, Automation and Optimization) was used as process integration and design optimization. Also we adapted meta models based on design of experiments for efficiency. By using introduced methodology, we were able to obtain a result so that maximum injection pressure reduced by 28% compared to the initial design. And the validity of the proposed method could also be demonstrated.

The current automotive is seeking the improvement of performance, the prevention of environmental pollution and the saving of energy resources according to miniaturization and lightweight of the components. And the variance analysis on the basis of structure analysis and DOE is applied to the lower control am. We have proposed a statistical design model to evaluate the effect of structural modification by performing the practical multi-objective optimization considering weight, stress and fatigue lift. The lower control arm is performed the fatigue analysis using the load history of real road test. The design model is determined using the optimization of acquired load history with the fatigue characteristic. The characteristic function is made use of the optimization according to fatigue characteristics to consider constrained function in the optimization of DOE. The structure optimization of a lower control arm according to fatigue characteristics is performed. And the optimized design variable is D=47 m, T=36mm, W=12 mm. In the real engineering problem of considering many objective functions, the multi-objective optimization process using the mathematical programming and the characteristic function is derived an useful design solution.
