During the shape optimization, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method lot the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. In each cycle, the method allots real properties to the elements inside the structure and nearly zero to ones outside. The performance of the method is evaluated through two examples with displacement and frequency constraints.

This paper describes the development of new feature positioning method which embedded into the top-down assembly modeling system supporting conceptual design. In this work, the user provides the geometric constraints representing the position and size of features, then the system calculates their proper solution. The use of geometric constraints which are easy to understand intuitively enables the user to represent his design intents about geometric shapes, and enables the system to propagate the changes automatically when some editing occurs. To find the proper solution of given constraints, the Selective Solving Method in which the redundant or conflict equations are detected and discarded is devised. The validity of feature shapes satisfying the constraints can be maintained by this technique, and under or over constrained user-defined constraints can also be estimated. The problems such as getting the initial guess, controlling the multiple solutions, and dealing with objects of rotational symmetry are also resolved. Through this work, the feature based modeling system can support more general and convenient modeling method, and keeps the model being valid during modifying models.

Laser-doped selective emitter process requires dopant source deposition, spin-on-glass, and is able to form selective emitter through SiNx layer by laser irradiation on desired locations. However, after laser doping process, the remaining dopant layer needs to be washed out. Laser-induced melting of pre-deposited impurity doping is a precise selective doping method minimizing addition of process steps. In this study, we introduce a novel scheme for fabricating highly efficient selective emitter solar cell by laser doping. During this process, laser induced damage induces front contact destabilization due to the hindrance of silver nucleation even though laser doping has a potential of commercialization with simple process concept. When the laser induced damage is effectively removed using solution etch back process, the disadvantage of laser doping was effectively removed. The devices fabricated using laser doping scheme power conversion efficiency was significantly improved about 1% abs. after removal the laser damages.

Recently, the demands for separation/recovery of valuable metals such as nickel or tin from copper based alloys has been attracting much attention from the viewpoints of environmental protection and resource utilization. In this report, experimental results on concentration increasement of nickel and tin compared to the previous report are investigated. Ni is successfully separated by a organic solvent and reduced to the metal powder whose concentration is over 98 %. Sn is separated by a selective solution method and its concentration is increased to 97.5 % by three consecutive solution and reduction process. Crystal structure, surface morphology and microstructure of the separated samples are studied.

Using a nonconforming mesh in enrichment methods results in several numerical issues induced by discontinuities and singularities found within the solution spaces, including the computational overhead during integration. In this study, we present a novel enrichment technique based on the selective expansion technique of moment fitting (Düster and Allix, 2020). In particular, two modifications are proposed to address the inefficiency during the integration process. First, a feedforward artificial neural network is introduced to correlate the implicit functions and integration moments. Through numerical examples, it is shown that the efficiency of the method is greatly improved when compared with existing expansion techniques, whereas the solution accuracy is maintained. Additionally, the finite element and domain representation grids are separated, which in turn improves the solution accuracy even for coarse mesh conditions.

We demonstrated micro-scale conducting polymer patterning based on a selective surface treatment. A substrate with a patterned photoresist was immersed into OTS (Octadecyltrichlosilnae) solution. The protected substrate areas were hydrophilic after removing the PR resist, where a conducting polymer solution was coated selectively by spin-coating method.

Separation/recovery of valuable metals such as zinc, nickel or tin from copper alloy dross has recently attracted from the viewpoints of environmental protection and resource recycling. In this study, preliminary investigation on separation of tin (Sn) from copper alloy dross using selective dissolution method was performed. The tin in the copper alloy dross did not dissolve in an aqueous nitric acid solution which could allow the concentration/separation of tin from the copper alloy dross. Precipitation of tin as $H_2SnO_3$ (meta stannic acid)occurred in the solution and transformed to tin dioxide ($SnO_2$) after drying process. The dried sample was heat-treated at low temperature and its crystal structure, surface morphology and chemical composition were investigated.

A sensitive, simple and highly selective liquid chromatography method of determination for extraction of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride from Allegra D tablet was developed. The chief benefit of the present method is the minimal sample preparation, as the procedure is only filtering through pore syringe filter. Two drugs (pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, fexofenadine) were separated on a C$_{18}$ column and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The method had a chromatographic run time of 8.0 min. 1 ml of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride solution (1 mg/ml) was filtered through 0.22 um pore syringe filter. 50 ul of filtering solution was injected to HPLC pump and we knew the retention time (1.85 min) of separating of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride using UV detector at 280 nm. We used C$_{18}$ column (4.6 mm${\times}$250 mm), mobile phase solution (<0.05 mol/L NaH$_2$PO$_4$, 2 ml/L H$_3$PO$_4$>/CH$_3$CN / sodium dodesyl sulfate = 60 ml / 40 ml / 1 g). We separated psedoephedrine hydrochloride at run time of 1.85 min from Allegra D tablet solution (1 mg/ml) filtered through 0.22 um pore syringe filter using UV detector at 280 nm. Flow rate was set at 1.0 ml/min and the column temperature was set at 40$^{\circ}C$. Psedoephedrine hydrochloride solution (1 mg/ml) separated from Allegra D tablet was filtered through 0.22 um pore syringe filter and injected 50 ul. We confirmed the peak of psedoephedrine hydrochloride at same retention time and the separating solution was freeze-dried. In conclusion, A simple isocratic reverse-phase HPLC method has been developed that provides excellent separation of pseudoephedrine from Allegra D tablet.

A new tubular poly(vinyl chloride) membrane type of nitrate selective electrode was prepared and its characteristics were evaluated. The response slope, detection limit, and response time (t$_{99}$) under the optimum membrane composition (5${\%}$ aliquat-NO$_3$ solution + 32${\%}$ poly(vinyl chloride) + 63${\%}$ dibutyl sebecate) of the electrode were 58.5 ${\pm}$ 0.1 mV/decade, 2.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ M, and 25 seconds, respectively. The nitrite ion was determined by the continuous-automated method using the new electrode. 10$^{-2}$ M phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.6) was used as a recipient solution. And also hydrogen peroxide (0.3${\%}$) was added to the recipient as an oxidant. The linear response range and response range and response slope for the standard nitrite solution under the optimum condition of this electrode system were 8.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ M ∼ 5.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ M and 56.8 ${\pm}$ 0.2 mV/decade, respectively.

The theophylline imprinted membrane was prepared by a wet phase inversion method. Theophylline was implanted during copolymerization of acrylonitrile with acrylic acid or implanted in the dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing10 wt% copolymer, p(AN-co-AA). Rolling the glass plate, on which the copolymer solution was cast, in water removed the sponge layer and thus made the membrane symmetric. The adsorption selectivity of the membrane toward template molecule was increased with the coagulation temperature of the membrane and the initial concentration of the theophylline and caffeine mixture.
