Low-mass stars form by the gravitational collapse of dense molecular cores. Observations and theories of low-mass protostars both suggest that accretion bursts happen in timescales of ~100 years with high accretion rates, so called episodic accretion. One mechanism that triggers accretion bursts is infalling fragments from the outer disk. Such fragmentation happens when the disk is massive enough, preferentially activated during the embedded phase of star formation (Class 0 and I). Most observations and models focus on the gas structure of the protostars undergoing episodic accretion. However, the dust and ice composition are poorly understood, but crucial to the chemical evolution through thermal and energetic processing via accretion burst. During the burst phase, the surrounding material is heated up, and the chemical compositions of gas and ice in the disk and envelope are altered by sublimation of icy molecules from grain surfaces. Such alterations leave imprints in the ice composition even when the temperature returns to the pre-burst level. Thus, chemical compositions of gas and ice retain the history of past bursts. Infrared spectral observations of the Spitzer and AKARI revealed a signature caused by substantial heating, toward many embedded protostars at the quiescent phase. We present the AKARI IRC 2.5-5.0 ㎛ spectra for embedded protostars to trace down the characteristics of accretion burst across the evolutionary stages. The ice compositions obtained from the absorption features therein are used as a clock to measure the timescale after the burst event, comparing the analyses of the gas component that traced the burst frequency using the different refreeze-out timescales. We discuss ice abundances, whose chemical change has been carved in the icy mantle, during the different timescales after the burst ends.

폴리우레탄(PU) 폼과 같은 가연성 고분자 건축자재의 화재 안전성을 개선하기 위한 새로운 접근의 나노코팅 기술이 개발되었다. 산화 그래핀 (Graphene oxide, GO)과 같은 2차원 소재는 용액상에서 자기 정렬 및 점탄성적 특성을 보이는 액정성(Liquid Crystalline properties, LC)을 나타내며, 이를 이용하면 특정 농도 범위에서 3차원의 다공성 폼을 포함한 다양한 표면에 균일한 코팅이 가능하다. 또한, GO의 액정성을 이용하여 기능성 복합소재의 나노코팅을 위한 골격 구조체(Scaffold)를 형성할 수 있으며, 여기에 도파민(Dopamine)과 같은 무독성의 항산화성 저분자를 도입 후 폴리도파민(polydopamine, PDA)로의 중합을 유도하여 고난연성의 폴리도파민/산화그래핀 (PDA/GO) 나노복합체 코팅층을 형성할 수 있다. 또한 최종적으로 형성된 PDA/GO 코팅은 GO의 2차원 판상구조로 인하여 균일하게 적층된 나노시트 구조로 안정화되며, 이러한 구조적 특성으로 인하여 가스상의 유해 연소생성물의 발생과 확산을 효과적으로 저감할 수 있는 가스 차폐 효과도 유도할 수 있다. 이러한 2차원 소재의 액정성을 활용한 난연성 나노복합소재 코팅 기술은 다양한 유형의 고분자 건축 자재의 화재 안전성을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있는 친환경적이고 새로운 기술적 접근방식이 될 수 있다.

We present the detection characteristics of nitrogen monoxide(NO) gas using p-type copper oxide(CuO) thin film gas sensors. The CuO thin films were fabricated on glass substrates by a sol-gel spin coating method using copper acetate hydrate and diethanolamine as precursors. Structural characterizations revealed that we prepared the pure CuO thin films having a monoclinic crystalline structure without any obvious formation of secondary phase. It was found from the NO gas sensing measurements that the p-type CuO thin film gas sensors exhibited a maximum sensitivity to NO gas in dry air at an operating temperature as low as $100^{\circ}C$. Additionally, these CuO thin film gas sensors were found to show reversible and reliable electrical response to NO gas in a range of operating temperatures from $60^{\circ}C$ to $200^{\circ}C$. It is supposed from these results that the p-type oxide semiconductor CuO thin film could have significant potential for use in future gas sensors and other oxide electronics applications using oxide p-n heterojunction structures.

The effects of spark timing and exhaust valve timing change on exhaust gas temperature during cold start period of an SI engine are studied through engine bench tests. The exhaust gas temperature increases when the spark timing or valve timing are retarded individually, due to late combustion or slow flame speed. Therefore, exhaust gas temperature shows a large increase when the two timings are retarded simultaneously. However, it is considered that combustion stability during cold start deteriorated under these retarded conditions. To increase exhaust gas temperature for fast warmup of catalysts while maintaining combustion stability, an optimal condition for spark and valve timing retard should be applied for the cold start period.

At present, Metal Oxide gas Sensors (MOXs) are widely used in gas detection because of its advantages, including high sensitivity and low cost. However, MOX presents well-known problems, including lack of selectivity and environment effect, which has motivated studies on different measurement strategies and signal-processing algorithms. In this paper, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) that models an MOX sensor (TGS822) used in a dynamic environment. This model takes into account dependence in relative humidity and in gas nature. Using MATLAB interface in the design phase and optimization, the proposed model is implemented as a component in an electronic simulator library and accurately expressed the nonlinear character of the response and that its dependence on temperature and relative humidity were higher than gas nature.

The electrical conductivity, flammable gas response and their humidity effect of porous ZnO, added with 5wt% corn starch as the fugitive phase, were examined. Porous ZnO showed different conductivity curves during increasing and decreasing temperature, and its electrical conductivity decreased rapidly by desorption of OH- between 20$0^{\circ}C$ and 35$0^{\circ}C$ when the temperature increased in dry air. The CO gas sensitivity of starchadded ZnO samples was higher than that of ZnO without starch addition. The sensitivity of porous, starchadded ZnO to 200ppm CO gas was much less in humid atmosphere than in dry atmosphere since water vapor increased the conductivity of porous ZnO in air, but decreased the conductivity in CO. Maximum sensitivity to 200 ppm CO gas balanced by air was about 100 in dry atmosphere and about 15 in RH 23% atmosphere.

High-pressure gas atomization was employed to prepare the Fe-based $Fe_{50}Cr_{24}Mo_{21}Si_2B_3$ alloy powder. The effect of flow rate of atomizing gas on the median powder diameter was studied. The results show that the powder size decreased with increasing the flow rate of atomizing gas. Fe-based alloy coatings with amorphous phase fraction was then prepared by high velocity oxygen fuel spraying (HVOF) of gas atomized $Fe_{50}Cr_{24}Mo_{21}Si_2B_3$ powder. Microstructural studies show that the coatings present dense layered structure and low porosity of 0.17% in about $200{\mu}m$ thickness. The Fe-based alloy coating exhibits an average hardness of about 1230 HV. Our results show that the HVOF process results in dense and well-bonded coatings, making it attractive for protective coatings applications.

The gas sensor is essential to monitoring dangerous gases in our environment. Metal oxide (MO) gas sensors are primarily utilized for flammable, toxic and organic gases and $O_3$ because of their high sensitivity, high response and high stability. Tungsten oxides ($WO_3$) have versatile applications, particularly for gas sensor applications because of the wide bandgap and stability of $WO_3$. Nanosize $WO_3$ are synthesized using the hydrothermal method. As-prepared $WO_3$ nanopowders are in the form of nanorods and nanorulers. The crystal structure is hexagonal tungsten bronze ($MxWO_3$, x =< 0.33), characterized as a tunnel structure that accommodates alkali ions and the phase stabilizer. A gas detection test reveals that $WO_3$ can detect acetone, butanol, ethanol, and gasoline. This is the first study to report this capability of $WO_3$.
