Setup planning for machining processes is a part of fixture planning which is also a part of process planning. A setup of a part is defined as a group of features which are machined while the part is fixtured in one single fixture. Setup planning includes a number of tasks such as the selection of setup, sequence of setups and datum frame for each setup. Setup planning is an important function in fixture planning which must be able to support and to clamp a workpiece to prevent deflections caused by machining and clamping loads. This paper presents setup planning system using expert system approach(SPES) for prismatic parts which can be machined on vertical milling machine. SPES consists of preprocessing module and main processing module. Preprocessing module executes the conversion of feature data to frame type data and the determination of setups, and main processing module executes the determination of datum frame of each setup and sequance of setups. Preprocessing module is coded by C language and main processing module is a rule-based expert system using EXSYS pro. The performance of SPES is evaluated through case studies and the results show successful work except for operation sequence of machining holes. This is due to the limited rules for machining holes.

A new type solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) composed of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate ($LiCF_{3}SO_{3}$) was prepared by means of the solution cast technique to observe that Li ion can move by ion hopping decoupled from polymer segmental motion inside of the 'fast cationic transport process'. The highest ion conductivity of the SPEs obtained from ac impedance measurements was $1.42{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$ at room temperature for SPE with 80wt% of salt concentration. Using LSV, we found that the SPEs had good electrochemical stabilities and using FT-IR and AFM, we found the formation of network-like structure.

Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) show promise for improving the lithium ion battery safety. However, due to oxidation of the PEO group and corrosion of the Al current collector, PEO-based SPEs have not previously been effective for use in $LiCoO_2$ (LCO) cathode materials at room temperature. In this paper, a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) PEO-based SPE was applied to examine the performance of a LCO/SPE/Li metal cell at different voltage ranges. The results indicate that the SPE can be applied to LCO-based lithium polymer batteries with high electrochemical performance. By using a carbon-coated aluminum current collector, the Al corrosion was mostly suppressed during cycling, resulting in improvement of the cell cycle stability.

Selective Production of Exotic Species is an innovative plant for advanced nuclear physic studies. A radioactive beam, generated by using an UCx target-ion source system, is ionized, selected and accelerated for experimental objects. Very high vacuum conditions and appropriate safety systems to storage exhaust gases are required to avoid radiological risk for operators and people. In this paper, Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis of a preliminary design of high activity gas recovery system is performed by using a modified Fuzzy Risk Priority Number to rank the most critical components in terms of failures and human errors. Comparisons between fuzzy approach and classic application allow to show that Fuzzy Risk Priority Number is able to enhance the focus of risk assessments and to improve the safety of complex and innovative systems such as those under consideration.

In this study we have examined the occurrence probability of solar proton events (SEPs) and their peak fluxes depending two CME parameters, linear speed and angular width. For this we used the NOAA SPE events and their associated CME data from 1997 to 2006. As a result, the probability strongly depends on two parameters as follows. In the case of halo CME whose speed is equal to and faster than 1500km/s, 36.1% are associated with SPEs but in the case of partial halo CME ($120^{\circ}{\leq}AW$ < $359^{\circ}$) whose speed is $400{\leq}V$ < $1000km/s$, only 0.9% are associated with SPEs. When we consider only front-side CMEs, 45.3% are associated with SPEs in the first case and 1.8% are associated with them in the second case. Both of whole CME data group and front-side CME data group have similar tendencies. The probabilities are different as much as 4.9 to 23 times according to the CME speed and 1.6 to 6.5 times to the angular width. We have also examined the relationship between CME speed and proton peak flux as well as its dependence on angular width (partial halo CME and halo CME), longitude (east, center, and west) and direction parameter (< 0.4 and {\geq} 0.4). Our results show that the relationships strongly depend on longitude as well as direction parameter. In addition, the relationship using the radial CME speed based on a cone model has a higher correlation coefficient than that using the projected CME speed.

In this study, Nafion membrane was modified to prevent methanol crossover by layer-by-layer self assembly using polyaniline (PANi) as a polycation and sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES) as a polyanion onto the Nafion surface. Since PANi and SPES possess thermal and chemical stability and rigid backbone, their layer-by-layer self-assembled films on the Nafion are expected to reduce methanol permeability and to increase mechanical stability. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy verified a linear build-up of the multilayers of PANi and SPES. We found that the thickness per bilayer was about 10 nm by TEM measurement. Although modified Nafion membrane exhibited 15% decrease of proton conductivity, it reduceded 67% of methanol permeability compared to that of the pristine Nafion membrane, resulting in 2.5 times larger selectivity. At the performance test of the fuel cell using 5M methanol as a fuel, the modified Nafion membrane showed 2.4 times higher maximum power density at $30^{\circ}C$ and 1.4 times larger at $60^{\circ}C$ than the pristine Nafion.

A multiple solid-phase extraction (SPE) method was used with liquid chromatography, coupled with mass spectrometry (LC/MS), for the analysis of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) in human urine. Separation efficiencies based on the pH of the mobile phase and the types of columns were compared. An amide column showed better baseline separation and narrower HCA peak widths at pH 5.0 for the mobile phase than a $C_8$ column. Each SPE step, HLB, MCX, and HybridSPE, was optimized by controlling the pH conditions. The combined method with the three SPEs effectively removed interfering species that cause ion-suppression during HCA detection. Validation of the method, performed with SIM and SRM detection, showed correlation coefficients above 0.991 in the range 0.3 - 16.7 ng/mL. Recovery rates were 45.4 - 97.3% on the $C_8$ column and 71.8 - 101.4% on the amide column, and method detection limits were 0.11 - 0.65 ng/mL on the $C_8$ column and 0.12 - 0.48 ng/mL on the amide column. This method using multiple SPEs offers significant benefits for high-throughput determination of HCAs in urine.

Solar Proton Events (SPEs) are the energetic phenomena related particle acceleration occurred in solar corona. Conventionally, they have been classified into two groups as the impulsive and gradual cases caused by reconnection in the flaring site and by shock generated by CME, respectively. In the previous studies, we classified these into four groups by analyzing the proton acceleration patterns in multi-energy channel observation. This showed that acceleration due to the magnetic reconnection may occur in the corona region relatively higher than the flaring site. In this study, we analyzes 54 SPEs observed in the energy band over 25 MeV from 2009 to 2013, where STEREO observations as well as SOHO can be utilized. From the multi-positional observation, we determine the exact time at which the Sun-Earth magnetic field line meets the CME shock structure by considering 3-dimensional structure of CME. Also, we determine the path length by considering the solar wind velocity for each event, so that the SPE onset time near the sun is obtained more accurately. Based on this study, we can get a more understanding of the correlation between CME progression and proton acceleration in the solar coronal region.

It is important to understand very fast CMEs which are the main cause of geomagnetic storms and solar particle events (SPEs). During this solar cycle 24, there are 10 very fast CMEs whose speeds are over 2000 km/s. Among these, there were only two fronside events (2012 January 23 and 2012 March 7) and they are associated with two major flares (M8.7 and X5.4) and the most strong SPEs (6310 pfu and 6530 pfu). They have a similar characteristics: there were successive CMEs within 2 hours in the same active region. We analyze their magnetic properties using SDO HMI magnetograms and kinematic ones from STEREO EUVI/COR1/COR2 observations. We can measure their speeds and initial accelerations without projection effects because their source locations are almost the limb. Additionally, we are investigating magnetic and kinematic characteristics of 8 backside events using AI-generated magnetograms constructed by deep learning methods.
