The deep drawing and ironing (DDI) process involving the use of a high-capacity horizontal press is used for manufacturing acompressed natural gas (CNG) pressure vessel. However, some variables of the DDI process have been determined based on the experiences of workers, and the short die life needs to be improved for manufacturing the pressure vessel withhighquality and lowcost. In this study, process variables such as the draw ratio, distance between dies, radius of rounding of drawing die, and angle of ironing die are chosen to enhance the reliability and improve the die life based on previous studies and experiences. The draw ratio limits at which no tearing or wrinkling occurs are determined using FEA, and the distances between dies, radius of rounding of drawing die, and angle of ironing die are optimized by the DOE method. The results of the optimal process variables are compared with those of the existing DDI process for verifying their effectiveness.

We performed removal of aromatic compounds, benzene and toluene, from soil and zeolite using supercritical carbon dioxide. Extraction was performed at $50^{\circ}C$ and 27.7 MPa with changing the extent of pollutant concentration and the results were compared and analyzed. Experiments were carried out using flow method and high pressure extractor of 1.27 cm in diameter and 25cm in length was used. The pollutants were sampled every ten minutes and their concentrations were analyzed with GC/FID. As a result, highly contaminated sample followed solubility/elution model and slightly contaminated sample followed desorption/kinetics model. At the same condition benzene was extracted faster than toluene. In the case of zeolite, more time is required to extract pollutants than soil. This phenomena was due to high adsorption capacity of zeolite. In the case of highly contaminated soil, we could correlate experimental data using simple Brady's fixed bed extractor model. But in the case of slightly contaminated soil, that was governed with desorption/kinetics model, there was some errors.

Granular compaction piles have the load bearing capacity of the soft ground increase and have the settlement of foundation built on the reinforced soil reduce. The granular compaction group piles also have the consolidation of the soft ground accelerate and have the liquefaction caused by earthquake prevent using the granular materials such as sand, gravel, stone etc. However, this method is one of unuseful methods in Korea. The Granular compaction piles are constructed by grouping it with a raft system. The confining pressure at the center of bulging failure depth is a major variable in relation to estimate for the ultimate bearing capacity of the granular compaction piles. Therefore, a share of loading is determined considering the effect of load concentration ratio between the granular compaction piles and surrounding soils, and varies the magnitude of the confining pressure. In this study, method for the determination of the ultimate bearing capacity is proposed to apply a change of the horizontal pressure considering bulging failure depth, surcharge and loaded area. Also, the ultimate bearing capacity of the granular compaction piles is evaluated on the basis of previous study on the estimation of the ultimate bearing capacity and compared with the results obtained from laboratory scale model tests. And using the result from laboratory model tests, it is studied increase effect of the bearing capacity on the granular compaction piles and variance of coefficient of consolidation for the ground.

This paper studies MR16 that can strengthen the strength and make up for the weakness of MR16 by replacing halogen light source using multifaceted Reflector(MR16) with LED light source. To achieve this, developed MR16 for LED applying optical system that four aspheric lens is one sheet. Optical system is designed by optics software and lighting performance of the designed data is predicted lighting simulation program. Also, heatsink's heat radiation analysis program to predict the thermal performance. Finally, optical prototype system based on simulation analysis data is manufactured and the results comparing performance of the developed system and the designed data are follows: Radiation angle was around $50^{\circ}{\sim}60^{\circ}$ in results of simulation analysis and the test of the prototype system. Also, temperature measurement result indicates that the thermal equilibrium is realized after one minute and thirty seconds and heat is generated up $60^{\circ}C$ in all of simulation analysis and the test of the prototype system. Finally, simulation analysis result on light disturbance curve of MR16 is similar to that of performance of the prototype system.

The dynamic interactions between benzoic acid derivative ($pH{\approx}7.0$)(guest) and ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (${\beta}$-CD)(host) were investigated in an aqueous solutions in terms of ultrasonic absorption in the frequency range 0.2 MHz ~ 50 MHz with emphasis on the low-frequency range below 1 MHz at $25^{\circ}C$. We show that the interaction of ${\beta}$-CD and benzoic acid derivative complies with a typical spectrum of a single relaxation process around a few MHz. The ultrasonic relaxation observed in these solutions was due to a perturbation of a chemical equilibrium related to a reaction of an inclusion complex formed by the host and guest. The rate constant ($k_b=7.48{\times}10^6M^{-1}s^{-1}$) and equilibrium constant ($K=68.6M^{-1}$) were determined from the concentration dependences of benzoic acid on the relaxation frequency. The standard volume change (${\Delta}V=10.6{\times}10^{-6}m^3mol^{-1}$) of the reaction was also computed from the maximum absorption per wavelength. It was found that the hydrophobicity of guest molecules played an important role in the formation of the inclusion complex.

Comparative fining trials were conducted in a laboratory to study the effects of fining treatments including polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and bentonite on the color and clearness of apple wine. The wines were subjected to three different fining treatments: PVPP, PVPP+bentonite (applied at the same time), and PVPP+bentonite (24 h later). Based on the results, all treatments induced noticeable decreases in wine color (APHA value) and turbidity. The treatment including PVPP and bentonite at the same time provided the best results in relation to wine color and clearness. PVPP was the most effective in the reduction of phenolic compounds, which means it helped wine obtain a paler color. Organic acids and aromatic profile were not altered by the fining treatments.

This article examines K-8 pre-service teachers' (PSTs) engagement in lesson plan modification using the eight Mathematics Teaching Practices (MTPs) in Principles to Actions, the most recent landmark publication of framework by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) in the U.S. The activity consisted of four phases that involved the analysis and modification of an existing lesson plan. Fifty-seven PSTs participated in the activity throughout the semester, and data from each phase was analyzed using the inductive content analysis approach. PSTs' initial conceptions of lesson planning reflected little on teaching practices (i.e., the MTPs) with more emphasis placed on the form - rather than function - of lesson elements. With the opportunity to interpret MTPs and analyze lesson plans using MTPs as an analytical lens, PSTs demonstrated various interpretations of MTPs, made efforts to incorporate MTPs into lessons, and attended to the interwoven nature of MTPs. This article also shares the challenges, conflicts, and tensions reported by PSTs during their participation of lesson plan modification; as such, the results from this study will inform the research examining the pedagogical (im)possibilities for utilizing MTPs in mathematics teacher training programs.

Geosynthetics are widely used in different ways such as reinforcement of structures in road, railway, harbor and dam engineering, drainage, separation and erosion prevention. They are especially applied to reinforced retaining wall and slope or ground reinforcement. Recently, geosynthetics reinforced pile supported (GRPS) embankment was developed to improve stability and construability of embankments in railway engineering. Extension strains are usually measured by strain gauges adhered to geosynthetics to evaluate the stability of geosynthetics. However, the measurements are influenced by manufacturing method and stiffness of geosynthetics and also adherence of strain gauge. In this study, wide-width tensile strength tests were performed on three types of geosynthetics including geogrid, woven geotextile and non-woven geotextile. During the test, strains of geosynthetics were measured by both video extensometer and strain gauges adhered to the geosynthetics and the measured results were compared. Results show that the measured results by strain gauges have high reliability in case of large stiffness geosythetics like geogrid and woven geotextile, whereas they have very low reliability for small stiffness geosythetics like non-woven geotextile.

After detailed geological mapping, structural and fracture-density data were collected and analyzed in the vicinity of Cheonseong and Jeongjok Mts., Gyeongsangnam-do. A extensive dextral strike-slip fault (Beopgi Fault) Parallel to Yangsan and Dongrae Faults, a dextral-transtensional-NW fault, and a few intermittent faults have been found in the study area. Based on strike and frequency, fracture system has been divided into three sets such as NNE-trending J1 ($NS-40^{\circ}E$), WNW-trending J2 ($N50^{\circ}-80^{\circ}W$), and ENE-trending J3 ($N60^{\circ}-90^{\circ}E$). According to analysis of fracture density, it is revealed as follows: (a) Jl is the combination of Y-, P-, and R-shear fractures due to the dextral strike-slip of the Beopgi Fault. (b) J2 is the preexisted fracture zone conducting the intrusion of granite. Two tensional fractures dipping to NNE and SSW respectively have been induced by intrusion of granite and followed crustal uplift. (c) J3 is the tensional fracture developed between Yangsan and Dongrae Faults having NNE trend and dextral strike-slip sense. This study aims to reduce environmental impact and insure stability of underground facilities and tunnels.

This study examined the feasibility of producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate solution using two-compartment electrodialysis with a bipolar membrane (EDBM). Electrodialysis experiments were carried out with 20 wt% ammonium sulfate at different current densities and sulfuric acid concentrations in a concentrate compartment. The current efficiency increased with the current density from 25 to $100\;mA/cm^2$. Nevertheless, the efficiency was relatively low compared with that of general desalting electrodialysis, owing to the diffusion of sulfuric acid from the concentrate compartment to the diluate. The diffusion rate through the anion exchange membrane increased with the sulfuric acid concentration in the concentrate compartment, which decreased the current efficiency. Conversely, the electrical resistance decreased with increasing current density owing to the Joulian heat generated during water dissociation in the transition region of the bipolar membrane under a high electric field. From the experimental results, we concluded that operating at a higher current density is effective from the perspective of current efficiency and electrical resistance when producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate using a two-compartment EDBM process. Further studies on the effects of increasing the sulfuric acid concentration on current efficiency are required to apply the EDBM process practically.
