Springback behavior is a major problem of sheet metal forming process. Especially aluminum alloy which often encounter such problems often. At present aluminum alloy is increasingly of used in the automotive industry for replace of the steels due to its lightweight and good finished surface. This work aims study to springback behavior of cold rolled aluminum alloy (AA6016) during air-bending process by ISO7438/2010 test standard. To analyze the influence of bending process parameter are included: sheet thickness punch radius bending angle die open and the ratio of bending radius and material thickness (r/t) effecting to springback behavior. The results are clearly that the springback angle is likely to increase with increase of the punch radius size of die open and the ratio of punch radius and sheet thickness and the springback tenor to decrease when the sheets thickness and bending angle increased. The increased bending angle will resulted to bending surface region is roughness increase and crack occurred to follow. As a result the bending force and the springback angle decreased.

There has been an extensive use of fiberboards in the furniture industry. Therefore materials containing glue are applied to develop these fiberboards. This research investigated sawdust-produced fiberboards using lac as the binder and aimed to; (1) study the appropriate mixture proportions of sawdust and lac as the binder and; (2) explore the physical and mechanical properties of different mixture proportions of sawdust and lac at 5 wt% 10 wt% 15 wt% 20 wt% 30 wt% and 40 wt%. The research methods involved selecting sizes of dried sawdust and grinding with lac and alcohol. Then the mixture was pressed in a hot-pressing machine. After that the produced fiberboards were tested using medium-density fibreboards Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547) in a laboratory. The results showed that the appropriate proportions was 15 wt% which met the standard defined in Thai Industrial Standard (TIS 966-2547). The fiberboards could replace medium-density plywood and could be used in furniture and the home decorative product industry.

This paper presents an efficient algorithm for optimization of radial distribution systems by a feeder reconfiguration to balance feeder loads and eliminate overload conditions. The system load-balancing index is used to determine the loading conditions of the system and maximum system loading capacity. The index value has to be minimum in the optimal feeder reconfiguration of load balancing. A method based on Tabu search algorithm The Tabu search algorithm is employed to search for the optimal feeder reconfiguration. Simulation results for a radial 69-bus system with reconfiguration and capacitors placement. The study results show that the distribution system with capacitor placement and optimal on/off patterns of the switches feeders reconfiguration can be load balancing in distribution systems.

The aims of this study were developed geopolymer matrix for controlled release amoxicillin antibiotic drug in the in vitro gastric and intestines (pH 1 and pH 6.8 temperature 37 ºC conditions). Three formulations of geopolymer tablets (GeAmSF5 GeAmSF7.5 and GeAmSF10) which different silica fume content were used in this study. Geopolymer tablets were measured compressive strength and characterized by using 3D laser microscope Scanning electron microscope (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The amoxicillin release was analyzed by UV-VIS spectrophotometer. It was found that amoxicillin in geopolymer tablet was more resistance with various extraction solvents (ethanol water 50 oC pH 1 and 12 solutions) than amoxicillin commercial tablet in 2 hours. Moreover the amoxicillin constantly release from geopolymer matrix after 3 hours in both in vitro gastric and intestines. However amoxicillin was more release in gastric than intestines condition due to the strong acid leached aluminum ion causing damages geopolymer structure. Mathematical modeling of amoxicillin release from geopolymer matrix was fitted best with Higuchi model indicating diffusion of the drug out of matrix.

The biosorption of Rhodamine B using modified water hyacinth roots was studied. The adsorption experiments were conducted in a batch setup. Parameters affecting the adsorption of Rhodamine B including pH of a solution adsorption time adsorbent dose and dyes concentration were investigated. With the 80 mg/L Rhodamine B solution of pH 6.0 adsorption time of 60 min and 0.10 g of modified water hyacinth roots the kinetic models pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic model were applied to examine the kinetic adsorption. The adsorption kinetic data correlates with pseudo-second order kinetic model. The Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption models were applied to describe the isotherms and isotherm constants. Adsorption isotherm data correlates with Langmuir adsorption model. The maximum adsorption capacity of modified water hyacinth roots for Rhodamine B was found to be 63 mg/g
