This study intended to verify the feasibility of laser-arc hybrid welding to dissimilar materials joints between high strength steel (AH32) and stainless steel (STS304L). For this, hybrid welding process for dissimilar materials was optimized by varying four parameters (welding speed, welding current, wire feeding rate, welding voltage) through Grey-based Taguchi analysis. A Grey relational analysis of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), welding depth to width ratio (D/W) and absorbed energy (AE) attained from the Taguchi method can optimize the multiple-performance characteristics of the Grey relational grade. Moreover, hardness values and fatigue strength of welded joints fabricated under welding condition optimized by Grey-based Taguchi analysis were investigated. From the results, it was found that the initial visual test of the welds could be classified as very stringent (Quality B') in quality levels for weld imperfections based on EN ISO 13919-1. In the tensile test of welded joints, the damaged part was in BM of STS304L side. Tensile strength of welded joints in dissimilar materials was comparable to that of STS304L base material. Hardness values at distances of 3mm and 12mm over the bottom surface of welded joints were in the order of WM > HAZ > BM. The hardness of welded joints exhibits within the acceptable range (the maximum value 340Hv~360Hv). Dissimilar materials hybrid welded joints exhibited almost same fatigue strength for similar material STS304L SAW welded joints and lied well above the design curve(level D) for JSSC.

Poka yoke is a very powerful set of technique that either keeps defects from occurring or indicating immediately when a defect occurs. It relies on creativity and common sense to create low cost, effective inspection devices. Like many quality tools, mistake-proofing is not a solution for every kind of defect or quality problem. The poka yoke aims to reduce the rejection, increase the production and avoid fatigue of worker. The beauty of this lies in that anyone, from manager to line supervisor to line employee can bring this concept into service. These devices are used either to prevent the special causes that result in defects, or to inexpensively inspect each item that is produced to determine whether it is acceptable or defective. The paper contains poka yoke fundamentals to improve the production of lever cam follower and to achieve the target of zero defects over the whole process machining.

A simple and reliable square wave anodic stripping (SWAS) voltammetric method at carbon paste electrode (CPE) of Mebeverin hydrochloride (MEB) in pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablet) and in biological fluids (spiked and real urine samples) has been developed and evaluated. Different parameters such as medium, supporting electrolyte, pH, accumulation potential, scan rate and accumulation time, were tested to optimize the conditions for the determination of MEB. The adsorbed form is oxidized irreversibly under optimal conditions, viz., 0.1 M Phosphate buffer (pH~8), 0.1M KCl, a linear concentration ranges from 0.233 to 42.406 µg/mL of MEB, at accumulation times 60, 150 s, can be determined successfully. The standard addition method was used to determine the MEB in pure solutions, tablets and in biological fluids with satisfactory results. The data obtained are compared with the standard official method.

Problem solving method is a student-centered learning model which develops active learning and creative thinking. Using this method has very importance to the discipline of mathematics and it is the nature of mathematical thinking. The purpose of this research is the study of effectiveness of using problem solving method on improving mathematics achievement and creativity of 5th grade primary school students. The sample of the research was consisted of 60 5th grade female primary school students in shahr-Rey, Iran. These students were selected using simple random assignment. In this study quasi-experimental design was implemented which had pre-test/post-test and control group. Experimental group (30 students) was taught problem solving method but control group (30 students) was instructed same science content as traditional teaching methods for same length of time. The Torrance's test of creative thinking (TTCT) and mathematical achievement test were administered to both groups before and after the instruction as a pre and post test. Results of the study reveal that experimental group students have higher mean scores than control group students in post achievement test and post TTCT test while there is no significant difference between experimental and control groups students’ pre achievement test and pre TTCT test scores.
