We have fabricated and evaluated new high efficiency green light emitting phosphorescent devices with an emission layer of $[TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/TAZ]:Ir(ppy)_3$. The whole experimental devices have the basic structure of $2-TNATA(500 {\AA})/NPB(300{\AA})/EML(300{\AA})/BCP(50{\AA})/SFC137(500{\AA})$ between anode and cathode. We have also fabricated conventional phosphorescent devices with emission layers of $(TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}):Ir(ppy)_3$ and $(TCTA/TAZ):Ir(ppy)_3$ and compared their electroluminescence characteristics with those of the device with an emission layer of $(TCTA/TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/TAZ):Ir(ppy)_3$. The current density(J), luminance(L), and current efficiency($\eta$) of the device with an emission layer of $(80{\AA}-TCTA/90{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/130{\AA}-TAZ):10%-Ir(ppy)_3$ were 95 $mA/cm^2$, 25000 $cd/m^2$, and 27 cd/A at an applied voltage of 10V, respectively. The maximum current efficiency was 52 cd/A under the luminance of 400 $cd/m^2$. The peak wavelength and FWHM(full width at half maximum) in the electroluminescence spectral were 513nm and 65nm, respectively. The color coordinate was (0.30, 0.62) on the CIE (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) chart. Under the luminance of 15000 $cd/m^2$, the current efficiency of the device with an emission layer of $(80{\AA}-TCTA/90{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}/130{\AA}-TAZ):10%-Ir(ppy)_3$ was 34 cd/A, which has been improved 1.7 times and 1.4 limes compared to those of the devices with emission layers of $(300{\AA}-TCTA_{1/3}TAZ_{2/3}): 10%-Ir(ppy)_3$ and $(100{\AA}-TCTA/200{\AA}-TAZ):10%-Ir(ppy)_3$, respectively.

Based on fundamental properties and machining characteristics of Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.), it has well performance on machinability or workability, drying, and fine surface. Additionally, yellow poplar is light weight and has bright color with high performance of bending processing, so it could be used for furniture or artworks materials and wood-based panel materials. Recently, public attention has been focused on indoor air quality, and Ministry of environment drift more tight regulation on indoor air quality for an apartment house and public facility with the times. Construction materials has been assessed emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde according to law (No.10789), so yellow poplar is also needed to assess these emission characteristics. Emission of VOC and aldehyde compounds from dry and green wood condition of yellow poplar were investigated with KS M 1998:2009. Based on results, more than 30 compounds were detected from yellow poplar, and lower NVOC (natural VOC) were emitted than AVOC (Anthropogenic VOC) and OVOC (other VOC). Formaldehyde emission was lower than $5{\mu}g/m^3$ and acetaldehyde, ketone, and propionaldehyde were detected from yellow poplar. From dry yellow poplar, m-Tolualdehyde ($33.6{\mu}g/m^3$) was additionally detected while no detection of propionaldehyde. After drying process, amount of ketone emission increased significantly. The unique smell of yellow poplar may not only come from emission of acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde.

$Dy^{3+}$-doped $BaMoO_4$ phosphor powders were synthesized by using the solid-state reaction method and their crystalline structure, morphology and size of particles, excitation and emission properties were investigated. The structure of all the phosphor powders, irrespective of the mol ratio of $Dy^{3+}$ ions, was found to be the tetragonal system with the main diffraction peak at (112) plane. The grain particles agglomerate together to form larger clusters with increasing the mol ratio of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The excitation spectra were composed of a broad band centered at 293 nm and weak multiline peaked in the range of 230~320 nm, which were due to the transitions of $Dy^{3+}$ ions. The emission of the phosphors peaking at 666 and 754 nm, originating from the transitions of $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{11/2}$ and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{9/2}$ of $Dy^{3+}$ ions, was rather weak, while the intensity of blue and yellow emission peaking at 486 nm and 577 nm due to the transitions of $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{15/2}$ and $^4F_{9/2}{\rightarrow}^6H_{13/2}$ of $Dy^{3+}$ ions was significantly stronger. The experimental results suggest that the white-light emission can be realized by controlling the yellow-to-blue intensity ratio of $Dy^{3+}$ emission.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have been attracted much attention as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the visible and UV regions. Particularly, quantum efficiency of green LEDs is decreased dramatically as approaching to the green wavelength (~500 nm). This low efficiency has been explained by quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) induced by piezoelectric field caused from a large lattice mismatch between InGaN and GaN. To improve the quantum efficiency of green LED, several ways including epitaxial lateral overgrowth that reduces differences of lattice constant between GaN and sapphire substrates, and non-polar method that uses non- or semi-polar substrates to reduce QCSE were proposed. In this study, graded short-period InGaN/GaN superlattice (GSL) was grown below the 5-period InGaN/GaN MQWs. InGaN/GaN MQWs were grown on the patterned sapphire substrates by vertical-metal-organic chemical-vapor deposition system. Five-period InGaN/GaN MQWs without GSL structure (C-LED) were also grown to compare with an InGaN/GaN GSL sample. The luminescence properties of green InGaN/GaN LEDs have been investigated by using photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL (TRPL) measurements. The PL intensities of the GSL sample measured at 10 and 300 K increase about 1.2 and 2 times, respectively, compared to those of the C-LED sample. Furthermore, the PL decay of the GSL sample measured at 10 and 300 K becomes faster and slower than that of the C-LED sample, respectively. By inserting the GSL structures, the difference of lattice constant between GaN and sapphire substrates is reduced, resulting that the overlap between electron and hole wave functions is increased due to the reduced piezoelectric field and the reduction in dislocation density. As a results, the GSL sample exhibits the increased PL intensity and faster PL decay compared with those for the C-LED sample. These PL and TRPL results indicate that the green emission of InGaN/GaN LEDs can be improved by inserting the GSL structures.

BACKGROUND: Agricultural inputs (fertilizer and organic inputs) and water conditions can influence $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ emission from agricultural soils. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of agricultural inputs (fertilizer and organic inputs) under changing water regime on $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ emission from a soil in a laboratory incubation experiment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Four treatments were laid out: control without input and three type of agricultural inputs ($(NH_4)_2SO_4$, AS; pig manure compost, PMC; hairy vetch, HV). Fertilizer and organic inputs were mixed with 25 g of soil at 2.75 mg N/25 g soil (equivalent to 110 kg N/ha) in a bottle with septum, and incubated for 60 days. During the first 30-days incubation, the soil was waterlogged (1 cm of water depth) by adding distilled water weekly, and on 30 days of incubation, excess water was discarded then incubated up to 60 days without addition of water. Based on the redox potential, water regime could be classified into wetting (1 to 30 days), transition (31 to 40 days), and drying periods (41 to 60 days). Across the entire period, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ flux ranged from 0 to 13.8 mg $CH_4$/m/day and from 0.4~1.9 g $CO_2$/m/day, and both were relatively higher in the early wetting period and the boundary between transition and drying periods. During the entire period, % loss of C relative to the initial was highest in HV (16.4%) followed by AS (8.1%), PMC (7.5%), and control (5.4%), indicating readily decomposability of HV. Accordingly, both $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ fluxes were greatest in HV treatment. Meanwhile, the lower $CH_4$ flux in AS and PMC treatments than the control was ascribed to reduction in $CH_4$ generation due to the presence of oxidized compounds such as ${SO_4}^{2-}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Mn^{4+}$, and ${NO_3}^-$ that compete with precursors of $CH_4$ for electrons. CONCLUSION: Green manure such as HV can replace synthetic fertilizer in terms of N input, however, it may increase $CH_4$ emission from soils. Therefore, co-application of green manure and livestock manure compost needs to be considered in order to achieve satisfactory N supply and to mitigate $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ emission.

At the product design and development stage, the main criteria selecting a design alternative were performance aspect as well as cost aspect of a product. Ongoing new paradigm shifts such as low carbon green growth, climate change mitigation, sustainable society development urged considering environmental aspect of a product at the product design and development stage. Up to recently, only cost aspect except performance of a product was considered at the railway vehicle design process. Therefore, it is needed to develop a method that may consider environmental aspect of a product at the railway vehicle design process. Lee (2011) proposed that a method of an integration assessment of environmental aspect and cost aspect based on GHG emission instead of based on monetary value. This study conducted that apply the method of Lee (2011) to design alternative selection process of a railway vehicle. From the integrated view of environmental and cost aspect, the reference product and design alternatives are assessed and compared.

N₂O is hazardous atmosphere pollution matter which can damage the ozone layer and cause green house effect. There are many other nitrogen oxide emission control but N₂O has no its particular method. Preventing further environmental pollution and global warming, it is essential to control N₂O emission from industrial machines. In this study, the thermal decomposition experiment of N₂O gas mixture is conducted by using cylindrical reactor to figure out N₂O reduction and NO formation. And CHEMKIN calculation is conducted to figure out reaction rate and mechanism. Residence time of the N₂O gas in the reactor is set as experimental variable to imitate real SNCR system. As a result, most of the nitrogen components are converted into N2. Reaction rate of the N₂O gas decreases with N₂O emitted concentration. At 800℃ and 900℃, N₂O reduction variance and NO concentration are increased with residence time and temperature. However, at 1000℃, N₂O reduction variance and NO concentration are deceased in 40s due to forward reaction rate diminished and reverse reaction rate appeared.

In recent times, much effort has been concentrated on trivalent rare-earth ions activated ceramics or oxide phosphors to develop display industries due to their promising applications in optoelectronic devices and field-emission displays. To prepare efficient phosphors, citrate sol-gel method is one of the best synthetic methods. Green and blue emissive CaLa2ZnO5:RE3+ nanocrystalline materials are synthesized by a citrate sol-gel method. After the samples annealing at $1100^{\circ}C$, morphological and structural properties are investigated by scanning electron microscope images and X-ray diffraction patterns, respectively. At low electron beam voltage of <5 kV, the visible photoluminescence properties are obtained. Various concentrations of the RE3+ ions exhibited their characteristic emission peaks at different excitation wavelengths, respectively. Similarly, at high electron beam anodic voltage, the cathodoluminescence properties are studied as a function of acceleration voltage and filament current. The chromaticity coordinates are calculated for the optimized CaLa2ZnO5 nanocrystalline luminescent materials.

In this paper, the test and result of flow and combustion for 21AFR lean fuel models are described. The necessity to develop the low emission combustor has been issued from the concern on the increase of green house and the destruction of ozone layer. To evaluate the flow and combustion performance of new designed 21AFR lean modules, the hydraulic tests in stereo lithographic airflows models, the low pressure combustion tests in three injectors model for weak extinction and ignition and the high pressure combustion tests in single sector for NOx, SAE and efficiency are performed. The low pressure tests reveal that the governing parameters in weak extinction and ignition at atmospheric condition are prefilmer length, swirl flow rotation direction, secondary swirl angle and flow split. As a results of combustion test at high pressure, the efficiency and smoke level are satisfied with performance targets, but EINOx of 17.8 is higher than target value of 13.1. The high pressure tests show that the main parameters influenced on NOx are primary swirl angle, swirl flow rotation direction, heatshield exit angle and liner mixing hole location.

series of Ca1-xSrxS:Ce phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions. The Ca1-xSrxS:Ce phosphors have a strong absorption in region from 430 nm to 470 nm. The emission peaks of CaS:Ce are located at 510 nm and 570 nm. The partial replacement of Ca by Sr in Ca1-xSrxS:Ce causes a blue shift of emission wavelengths. The Ca1-xSrxS:Ce can be used as bluish green and yellow emitting phosphors for white light emitting diodes (LEDs) pumped by the blue LED. We reported the optical properties of Ca1-xSrxS:Ce phosphors for application in phosphor converted white LEDs.
