Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films with a thickness of $10-20{\mu}m$ were fabricated on silicone substrates using an aerosol deposition method. The starting powder, which had diameters of $1-2{\mu}m$, was observed using SEM. The average diameter ($d_{50}$) was $1.1{\mu}m$. An XRD analysis showed a typical perovskite structure, a mixture of the tetragonal phase and rhombohedral phase. The as-deposited film with nano-sized grains had a fairly dense microstructure without any cracks. The deposited film showed a mixture of an amorphous phase and a very fine crystalline phase by diffraction pattern analysis using TEM. The as-deposited films on silicon were annealed at a temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. A 20-${\mu}m$ thick PZT film was torn out as a result of the high compressive stress between the PZT film and substrate.

This study was performed to fabricate porous titanium foam by three-dimensional layer manufacturing process, and to evaluate the porosities, compressive stress, Young's modulus and fracture pattern. Porous titanium foam was made of CP(Commercial Pure) titanium powder (${\leq}5{\mu}m$). Total porosities of titanium foam were in the range of 55-68%. Pore size distribution was $200-440{\mu}m$ for coarse pores, $50-100{\mu}m$ for intermediate pores and $5-10{\mu}m$ for fine pores. Compression elastic modulus and compression stress were decreased with increasing porosity. Young's modulus ranged from 1.04-5.62 GPa and maximum stress ranged from 20-241 MPa. Regarding the mechanical properties, 3D(Three Demensional) porous titanium fabricated layer manufacturing is a promising material for human bone replacement.

There has been an increase of using Bosch Process to fabricate MEMS Device, TSV, Power chip for straight etching profile. Essentially, the interest of TSV technology is rapidly floated, accordingly the demand of Bosch Process is able to hold the prominent position for straight etching of Si or another wafers. Recently, the process to prevent under etching or over etching using EPD equipment is widely used for improvement of mechanical, electrical properties of devices. As an EPD device, the OES is widely used to find accurate end point of etching. However, it is difficult to maintain the light source from view port of chamber because of contamination caused by ion conflict and byproducts in the chamber. In this study, we adapted the SPOES to avoid lose of signal and detect less open ratio under 1 %. We use 12inch Si wafer and execute the through etching 500um of thickness. Furthermore, to get the clear EPD data, we developed an algorithm to only receive the etching part without deposition part. The results showed possible to find End Point of under 1 % of open ratio etching process.

Films with special properties (e.g., water-repellent films, optical films, anti-reflection films, and flexible films) are referred to as functional films. Recently, there has been interest in fine patterning methods for film fabrication. In particular there have been many studies that use a UV nanoimprint process involving a UV curing method. In this paper, a polymer film was fabricated by the UV nanoimprint process with a micro-pattern, and its durability was evaluated by a wear test and a nano-indentation test. The film mechanical properties (such as coefficient of friction, hardness, and modulus of elasticity) were measured. Moreover, the choice of PUA type resin used in the UV nanoimprint process was confirmed to impact the durability of the thin film. Despite making the polymer film samples using the same method and PUA type resin, different coefficient of friction, hardness, and modulus of elasticity values were obtained. PUA 4 resin had the most favorable coefficient of friction, hardness, and modulus of elasticity. This material is predicted to produce a high durability functional film.

This study investigated the effect of dry heat treatment (DHT) on the physicochemical properties of hard type (HR) and floury type (FR) rice to improve the processing aptitude of rice flour. The rice flour was heated at 130℃ for 0, 2 and 4 hours, and the color value, water absorption index (WAI), water soluble index (WSI), swelling power, solubility, pasting properties, particle shape and the X-ray diffraction were measured. After DHT, the L value of rice flour decreased, and the b value increased. The WAI, WSI, swelling power and solubility of HR and FR increased with the increase of treatment time. The cold viscosity and setback increased, while breakdown decreased. Cracks and lumps formed with fine particles were observed. The X-ray diffraction pattern was A-type, while the diffraction intensity decreased. According to the results of the two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, the hydration and pasting properties were significantly different between HR and FR and were affected by DHT time. The results suggest that the properties of modified rice flour by DHT can be used in the food industry.

Ink-jet printing is a manufacturing process technology that directly prints a digitalized design pattern onto a substrate using a fine ink jetting system. In this study, environmentally friendly yellow aqueous ceramic ink is synthesized by mixture of distilled water, yellow ceramic pigment and additives for ink-jet printing. The graft polymer, which combines electrostatic repulsion and steric hindrance mechanism, is used as a surfactant for dispersion stability of aqueous ceramic ink. Synthesized ceramic ink with graft polymer surfactant shows better dispersion stability than did ceramic ink with PAA surfactant; synthesized ink also shows desirable ink-jet printability with the formation of a single ink droplet during printability test. Finally, ceramic ink printed on glass substrate and ceramic ink with graft polymer surfactant shows a high contact angle without surface treatment on glass substrate. Consequently, it is confirmed that the ceramic ink with graft polymer surfactant can achieve high printing resolution without additional surface treatment process.

In this study, we investigated the dominant processing variables that would influence the microstructural development of AA6061 deformed by differential speed rolling (DSR) at ambient temperature. For this purpose, we carried out a series of DSR on the samples to investigate the effects of roll speed ratio, sample rotation, and number of operation under specific rotation. Among these, the condition with a height reduction of 75% at a speed ratio of 1:4 through rotation along rolling direction (RR) displayed the pronounced results of more homogenous matrix-structure and superior mechanical properties than the others tested in this study. This was mainly due to the cross shearing of macro-shear pattern in segment where dynamic recrystallization took place with ease throughout the sample. Thus, an average microhardness value of 101 Hv was obtained in the present sample deformed by 4-pass DSR with RR where macro cross-shearing was effectively applied.

Purpose This study quantified companies' views on the COVID-19 pandemic with sentiment analysis of U.S. public companies' disclosures. It aims to provide timely insights to shareholders, investors, and consumers by analyzing and visualizing sentiment changes over time as well as similarities and differences by industry. Design/methodology/approach From more than fifty thousand Form 10-K and Form 10-Q published between 2020 and 2021, we extracted over one million texts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the FinBERT language model fine-tuned in the finance domain, we conducted sentiment analysis of the texts, and we quantified and classified the data into positive, negative, and neutral. In addition, we illustrated the analysis results using various visualization techniques for easy understanding of information. Findings The analysis results indicated that U.S. public companies' overall sentiment changed over time as the COVID-19 pandemic progressed. Positive sentiment gradually increased, and negative sentiment tended to decrease over time, but there was no trend in neutral sentiment. When comparing sentiment by industry, the pattern of changes in the amount of positive and negative sentiment and time-series changes were similar in all industries, but differences among industries were shown in neutral sentiment.

To predict the rheological behaviours along with the compressive strength of self-compacting concrete that incorporates environmentally friendly ingredients as cement substitutes, a comparative evaluation of machine learning methods is conducted. To model four parameters, slump flow diameter, L-box ratio, V-funnel time, as well as compressive strength at 28 days-a complete mix design dataset from available pieces of literature is gathered and used to construct the suggested machine learning standards, SVM, MARS, and Mp5-MT. Six input variables-the amount of binder, the percentage of SCMs, the proportion of water to the binder, the amount of fine and coarse aggregates, and the amount of superplasticizer are grouped in a particular pattern. For optimizing the hyper-parameters of the MARS model with the lowest possible prediction error, a gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is required. In terms of the correlation coefficient for modelling slump flow diameter, L-box ratio, V-funnel duration, and compressive strength, the prediction results showed that MARS combined with GSA could improve the accuracy of the solo MARS model with 1.35%, 11.1%, 2.3%, as well as 1.07%. By contrast, Mp5-MT often demonstrates greater identification capability and more accurate prediction in comparison to MARS-GSA, and it may be regarded as an efficient approach to forecasting the rheological behaviors and compressive strength of SCC in infrastructure practice.
