The Marine Environment Protection Committee(MEPC) which is the IMO's specialized committee on marine pollution related matters deals with GHG related issues to discuss and compile possible approaches on technical, operational and market based measures to address GHG emissions from ships. The nitrous oxide($N_2O$) which remains generally in the atmosphere for around 114 years is one of the green house gases. The global warming potential of $N_2O$ is 310 times than $CO_2$ in the given period 100 years. It seems that the $N_2O$ formation is influenced by the nitrogen compound contained in the fuel which is named as "Fuel N" during the combustion process or the NOx, SOx and $H_2O$ through the emission gases before exhausted into the atmosphere. This paper has carried out an experimental study of the $N_2O$ concentration profiles by the change of $NH_3$ flows in the planner premixed combustion with using $C_3H_8$ and air.

Oral administration of chloral hydrate with hydroxyzine, nitrous oxide inhalation and intramuscular or intranasal administration of midazolam is the most commonly used pharmacological behavior management methods for the children in pre-cooperative stage or show negative behavior in pediatric dentistry. For oral administration of chloral hydrate with hydroxyzine, it is hard to apply to the patient refused to intake and with overweighted or elderly children and the effect of the drug decrease. Nitrous oxide and midazolam is anxiolytic agents and have limitation for properly managing the behavior of the children refuse to dental treatment. These occasions, deep sedation or general anesthesia can be considered. Although intravenous sedation with midazolam has many advantages such as, rapid onset and recovery, possible to titration and few side effect, no rebound effect by metabolites, the reports for, intravenous sedation with midazolam is insufficient in pediatric dentistry. We report the case in pre-cooperative stage. He is treated successfully under intravenous sedation with midazolam.

In this study, the combustion characteristics was studied with various oxidizer in hybrid propulsion system. In this experiments $GN_2O$ and GOX were used as oxidizer, and PE was used as fuel. The combustion behavior was explained by flame temperature with mass O/F ratio, and the use of $GN_2O$ as the oxidizer caused a increase in combustion efficiency with GOX in the same hybrid motor. The mass flow rate of gaseous oxidizer was controlled by the several chocked orifices that have different diameter, and the oxidizer supply range was $0.0138{\sim}0.0427kg/sec$. As result, the empirical relation for oxidizer type was represented by mass flux of solid fuel, it was obtained with mass transfer number, and mass flux of oxidizer.

The adsorption and desorption behaviors of NO and $N_2O$ over two mixed oxide catalysts, AlCoPd (1/1/0.05) and AlCoFe (1/1/2), have been investigated for the lean $NO_x$ trap applications. The catalysts showed good adsorption capabilities for NO and $N_2O$ without needing oxidation step. The adsorption decreased a lot when they are co-adsorbed with oxygen. While NO kept high adsorbability and selectivity with respect to oxygen, those of $N_2O$ decreased sharply. From the TPD results, NO and $N_2O$ are considered to decompose into nitrogen and oxygen in the higher temperature range and the oxygen seems to be strongly attached to the catalysts even at high temperature.

We present a new method for the fabrication of film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) devices that exploits the thin piezoelectric ZnO films particularly sputter-deposited in a mixture of N2O and Ar gases as the reactive and sputtering gases, respectively. Some thermal annealing treatments were performed on the as-deposited ZnO films and also their effects on the resonance characteristics of the FBAR devices were investigated. It was found that with an optimized process, the resonance characteristics of the fabricated FBAR devices could be further improved.

With the effectuation of Kyoto Protocol on the United Nations Framework Convention on the Climate Change, the emission reduction of greenhouse gases became an urgent issue and has been competitively secured among countries as the form of certificates through clean development mechanism (CDM) or joint implementation (JI). Nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) is one of the major greenhouse gases along with carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and methane ($CH_4$) having warming potential 310 times that of carbon dioxide and chemically very stable in the atmosphere to give a life time of more than 120 years so that it reaches to the stratosphere to act as an ozone depleting substance. $N_2O$ hardly decomposes and thus, besides to the adoption of thermal decomposition at high temperature, selective catalytic reduction methods are usually used at temperatures over $400^{\circ}C$ in which the presence of NOx acts as a major impeding material in the decomposition process. In this article, the sources of various $N_2O$ generation, catalytic reduction processes and the status and trends of emission trade with CDM projects for greenhouse gas reduction are summarized and discussed on a condensed basis.

Cropland is a major source of atmospheric nitrous oxide (N₂O) and we need technologies in the field of agriculture that can reduce the presence of N₂O. In this study, a field experiment encompassing six treatments was conducted to determine the efflux of N₂O in cropland during the growing season. An experimental plot was composed of two main sectors, no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT), which were subdivided into three plots according to types of nitrogen (N) sources: CF, chemical fertilizer; HV, hairy vetch+chemical fertilizer; and RY, rye+chemical fertilizer. The cumulative N₂O emissions were 179.8 mg N₂O m^-2 for CF-CT, 108.1 mg N₂O m^-2 for HV-CT, 303.5 mg N₂O m^-2 for RY-CT, 86.7 mg N₂O m^-2 for CF-NT, 73.8 mg N₂O m^-2 for HV-NT, and 122.7 mg N₂O m^-2 for RY-NT during the fallow season. The CT, HV, and RY of no-tilled soils were reduced by 51.8, 31.7 and 59.6%, respectively (p<0.001). Our results indicate that the use of no-tillage and hairy vetch practice rather than conventional tillage and chemical fertilizer practice can decrease N₂O emission.

BACKGROUND: Carbonized biomass is a carbon-rich solid product obtained by the pyrolysis of biomass. It has been suggested to mitigate climate change through increased carbon storage and reduction of greenhouse gas emission. The objective of this study was to evaluate carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) emissions from soil after carbonized biomass addition. METHODS AND RESULTS: The carbonized biomass was made from a pyrolyzer, which a reactor was operated about $400{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The treatments were consisted of a control without input of carbonized biomass and two levels of carbonized biomass inputs as 6.06 Mg/ha for CB-1 and 12.12 Mg/ha for CB-2. Emissions of $CO_2$ and $N_2O$ from orchard soil were determined using closed chamber for 13 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$ of incubation temperature. It was shown that the cumulative $CO_2$ were $209.4g\;CO_2/m^2$ for CB-1, $206.4g\;CO_2/m^2$ for CB-2 and $214.5g\;CO_2/m^2$ for the control after experimental periods. The cumulative $CO_2$ emission was similar in carbonized biomass input treatment compared to the control. It was appeared that cumulative $N_2O$ emissions were $4,478mg\;N_2O/m^2$ for control, $3,227mg\;N_2O/m^2$ for CB-1 and$ 2,324mg\;N_2O/m^2$ for CB-2 at the end of experiment. Cumulative $N_2O$ emission contents significantly decreased with increasing the carbonized biomass input. CONCLUSION: Consequently the carbonized biomass from byproducts such as pear branch residue could suppress the soil $N_2O$ emission. The results fromthe study imply that carbonized biomass can be utilized to reduce greenhouse gas emission from the orchard field.

Reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from upland crop field as well as paddy field is being required, but little information on GHG emissions according to cultivation practices in upland field is available. Soil GHG emissions during the growing season were investigated in the field of three decades rotation and tillage treatments which were consisted of plow, chiesl tillage and no tillage in west central Indiana, USA in 2006. Seasonal cumulative $CO_2$ emissions were not different among treatments. $CH_4$ emission increased a little in plow tillage during early soybean growing season. Most of $N_2O$ emission occurred during early corn growing season after N-fertilizer application from mid June to mid July, and was significantly affected by tillage practices in which seasonal cumulative $N_2O$ emission was significantly higher under chisel tillage. $N_2O$ emission under no-tillage was lower about 64% and 39% than that under chisel tillage and plow tillage, respectively. No-tillage practice with rotation of corn and soybean seems to be promising in point of less GHG emission and less labor for cultivation without grain yield reduction.

The change of temperature influences on the various aspect, especially human health, plant and animal's growth, economics, industry, and culture of the country. In this article, the autoregressive error (ARE) model has been considered for analyzing the monthly temperature data at the Suwon monitoring site in Korea. In the ARE model, five meteorological variables, four greenhouse gas variables and five pollution variables are used as the explanatory variables for the temperature data set. The five meteorological variables are wind speed, rainfall, radiation, amount of cloud, and relative humidity. The four greenhouse gas variables are carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), methane ($CH_4$), nitrous oxide ($N_2O$), and chlorofluorocarbon ($CFC_{11}$). And the five air pollution explanatory variables are particulate matter ($PM_{10}$), sulfur dioxide ($SO_2$), nitrogen dioxide ($NO_2$), ozone ($O_3$), and carbon monoxide (CO). Among five meteorological variables, radiation, amount of cloud, and wind speed are more influence on the temperature. The radiation influences during spring, summer and fall, whereas wind speed influences for the winter time. Also, among four greenhouse gas variables and five pollution variables, chlorofluorocarbon, methane, and ozone are more influence on the temperature. The monthly ARE model explained about 43-69% for describing the temperature.
