This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of far IR radiation for the elimination of sidestream smoke components in a closed room. The measurements covered particle sizes of 13.8-542.5 nm, particle concentration, TSP, UVPM, FPM, solanesol, and the following gases and vapor components of smoke: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nicotine, and 3-ethenyl-pyridine. Also, the changes of smoke odor strength by far IR radiation were tested by using the electronic nose system. There was no difference between control and far IR radiation in changes of the concentration of $CO_2$ and CO. The concentrations of TSP, UVPM, FPM, solanesol, nicotine, and 3-ethenylpyridine were reduced by far IR radiation. The growth and diminishing rate of RSP diameter was accelerated by far IR radiation compared with control. There was a little difference of smoke odor change with far IR radiation by electronic nose system analysis. Our results indicated that the use of far IR radiation had a little effect on changes of solid, vapor, and odor of smoke, but it had no effect on gaseous components.

The reclamation of food waste is brought by law in order to clean the underground water. Thus the food waste feed back system should be prepared. The electric heater and mixing tool for FIR radiation were developed in order to control the food waste fermentation. Also we suggest the optimum temperature 19$0^{\circ}C$, black enamel ware for food waste control.

The enamel coated panels could be used to construct huge size tank in order to improve the fermentation effects of liquid wastes(food and night soil of cow and pig) and to minimize the construction fee. In order to joint the panels, water proofed volts, nuts and silicon adhesive were used. We applied these enamel coated panels to construct the slurry store tank.

In this experiment the effect of supplemental lighting on the growth and yield of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. 'Fresh') plants during low radiation period of winter season were investigated in glasshouses using common high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps and newly developed plasma lighting system (PLS) lamps. Plants grown without supplemental lighting were considered as a control. Supplemental lighting was provided from November 20th, 2015 to March 15th, 2016 to ensure 14-hour photoperiod (natural+supplemental light), also lamps were operated automatically when the outside sun radiation levels were less than $100W{\cdot}m^{-2}$. Spectral analysis showed that HPS lamp had a discrete spectrum, lacked of the radiation in the 400-550 nm wave band (blue-green light), but had a high output in the orange-red region (550-650 nm). A higher red light output resulted in an increased red to far-red (R/FR) ratio in HPS lamp. PLS had a continuous spectrum and had a peak radiation in green region (490-550 nm). HPS has 12.6% lower output in photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) but 12.6% higher output in near infra-red (NIR) spectral regions compared to PLS. Both HPS and PLS lamps emitted very low levels of ultra-violet radiation (300-400 nm). Supplemental lighting both from HPS and PLS lamps increased plant height, leaf number, internode number and dry weight of cucumber plants compared to control. Photosynthetic activity of cucumber plants grown under two supplemental lighting systems was comparable. Number of fruits per cucumber plant (fruit weight per plant) in control, PLS, and HPS plots were 21.2 (2.9 kg), 38.7 (5.5 kg), and 40.4 (5.6 kg), respectively, thereby increasing yield by 1.8-1.9 times in comparison with control. An analysis of the economic feasibility of supplemental lighting in cucumber cultivation showed that considering lamp installation and electricity costs the income from supplemental lighting increased by 37% and 62% for PLS and HPS lamps, respectively.
