In the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA), ozone ($O_3$) concentration is still higher than in other urban areas in developed countries. In order to reveal the current state of photochemical air pollution and to provide data for validation of chemical transport models, vertical profiles of meteorological parameters and ozone concentrations were measured by ozonesonde in two field campaigns: the first one, during the change of season from wet to dry-cold (November 2011) and the second during the dry-warm season (March 2012). Unlike previous similar field campaigns, ozonesonde was launched twice daily. The observation data were used to analyze the production and distribution of ozone in the convective boundary layer. The observation days covered a wide range of meteorological conditions, and various profiles were obtained. The evolution of the mixing layer (ML) height was analyzed, revealing that ML evolution was faster during daytime in March 2012 than in November 2011. On a day in November 2011, the early-morning strong wind and the resulting vertical mixing was observed to have brought the high-ozone-concentration air-mass to the ground and caused relatively high surface ozone concentration in the morning. The amount of produced ozone in the MCMA was estimated by taking the difference between the two profiles on each day. In addition to the well-known positive correlation between daily maximum temperature and ozone production, effect of the ML height and wind stagnation was identified for a day in March 2012 when the maximum ground-level ozone concentration was observed during the two field campaigns. The relatively low ventilation coefficient in the morning and the relatively high value in the afternoon on this day implied efficient accumulation of the $O_3$ precursors and rapid production of $O_3$ in the ML.

고속으로 흡입되는 공기를 산소원으로 이용하는 공기 흡입추진기관에서 해결해야 할 과제 중에 하나는 화염 안정화이다. 블라프보디와 같이 유동 감속장치를 설치하여 와류에 의한 재순환 영역을 만들어 주는 방법이 대표적인 방법이다. 최근에는 유동 벽면에 캐비티를 설치하여 화염을 안정화 시키는 것이 안정화 영역을 넓이는 효율적인 방안으로 대두되고 있는데, 캐비티에서의 유동 박리와 재접촉, 압력과 진동을 포함하여 길이와 깊이 비 등에 대한 영향 등이 조사 발표되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 공기 흡입추진기관의 연구 개발과 함께, 선행 기술로서 캐비티를 이용한 화염 안정화에 대하여는 아직도 연구조사 되어야 할 과제가 많이 있다.

Adhesive bonding has seen rapid development in recent years, with emphasis to composite patch repairing processes of geometric defects in aeronautical structures. However, its use is still limited given its low resistance to climatic conditions and requirement of specialized labor to avoid fabrication induced defects, such as air bubbles, cracks, and cavities. This work aims to numerically analyze, by the finite element method, the failure behavior of a damaged plate, in the form of a bonding defect, and repaired by an adhesively bonded composite patch. The position and size of the defect were studied. The results of the numerical analysis clearly showed that the position of the defect in the adhesive layer has a large effect on the value of J-Integral. The reduction in the value of J-Integral is also related to the composite stacking sequence which, according to the mechanical properties of the ply, provides better load transfer from the plate to the repair piece through the adhesive. In addition, the increase in the applied load significantly affects the value of the J-Integral at the crack tip in the presence of a bonding defect, even for small dimensions, by reducing the load transfer.

1990년대 이후, 중소형 폐 선박으로부터 생성되는 FRP를 재활용하기 위한 방법으로 층상으로 배열된 로빙층과 매트층을 분리하는 것은 친 환경적이면서도 경제적 재활용의 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 효율적으로 로빙층과 매트층을 분리하는 기술과 로빙층은 매트층에 비해 얇은 두께로 존재한다는 이유로 인해 로빙층을 매트층과 분리할 때 기계가 자동적으로 층간의 차이를 인식하는 방법은 아직 개발이 이루지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 유리의 구성비가 다른 두 층의 화학적 성질의 차를 이용하여 광학적으로 층간 인식이 가능한 방법을 모색하였다. 또한 다양한 로빙층의 구성에도 자동적으로 절단위치를 분석하는 절단시스템과 최종생산물의 유용성을 확보할 수있는 다양한 크기의 유리섬유를 생산할 수있는 세단기를 개발하였다. 본 연구 결과로 광학적 인식기술과 유연한 절단기술 그리고 다양한 세단기술이 융합된 폐 FRP의 분리 공정의 단순화와 자동화를 달성하게 되었다.

Background: Nitrous oxide has been an integral part of surgical anesthesia for many years in the developed world and is still used in developing countries such as India. The other main concerns in low-resource countries are the lack of an advanced anesthesia gas-scavenging system and modular surgical theatres. As a greenhouse gas that has been present in the atmosphere for more than 100 years and damages the ozone layer, nitrous oxide is three times worse than sevoflurane. Here, we conducted an observational study to quantify the annual nitrous oxide consumption and its environmental impact in terms of carbon dioxide equivalence in one of busiest tertiary health care and research centers in Northern India. Methods: Data related to nitrous oxide expenditure' from the operation theatre and manifold complex of our tertiary care hospital and research center from 2018 to 2021 were collected monthly and analyzed. The outcomes were extracted from our observational study, which was approved by our institutional ethics board (INT/IEC/2017/1372 Dated 25.11.2017) and registered prospectively under the Central Registry (CTRI/2018/07/014745 Dated 05.07.2018). Results: The annual nitrous oxide consumption in our tertiary care hospital was 22,081.00, 22,904.00, 17,456.00, and 18,392.00 m³ (cubic meters) in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. This indicates that the environmental impact of nitrous oxide (in terms of CO₂ equivalents) from our hospital in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 was 13,016.64, 13,287.82, 10,289.94, and 10,841.24 tons, respectively. Conclusion: This huge amount of nitrous oxide splurge is no longer a matter of laughter, and serious efforts should be made at every central and peripheral health center level to reduce it.

Thin-film-transistors (TFTs) that can be prepared at low temperatures have attracted much attention because of the great potential for transparent and flexible electronics. One of the mainstreams in this field is the use of organic semiconductors such as pentacene. But device performance of the organic TFTs is still limited due to low field-effect mobility and rapid degradation after exposing to air. Alternative approach is the use of amorphous oxide semiconductors as a channel. Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) based TFTs showed the fast technological development, because AOS films can be fabricated at room temperature and exhibit the possibility in application like flexible display, electronic paper, and larges solar cells. Among the various AOSs, a-IGZO has lots of advantages because it has high channel mobility, uniform surface roughness and good transparency. [1] The high mobility is attributed to the overlap of spherical s-orbital of the heavy post-transition metal cations. This study demonstrated the effect of the variation in channel thickness from 30nm to 200nm on the TFT device performance. When the thickness was increased, turn-on voltage and subthreshold swing was decreased. The a-IGZO channels and source/drain metals were deposited with shadow mask. The a-IGZO channel layer was deposited on $SiO_2$/p-Si substrates by RF magnetron sputtering, where RF power is 150W. And working pressure is 3m Torr, at $O_2/Ar$ (2/28 sccm) atmosphere. The electrodes were formed with electron-beam evaporated Ti (30 nm) and Au (70 nm) bilayer. Finally, Al (150nm) as a gate metal was thermal-evaporated. TFT devices were heat-treated in a furnace at 250 $^{\circ}C$ and nitrogen atmosphere for 1hour. The electrical properties of the TFTs were measured using a probe-station. The TFT with channel thickness of 150nm exhibits a good subthreshold swing (SS) of 0.72 V/decade and on-off ratio of $1{\times}10^8$. The field effect mobility and threshold voltage were evaluated as 7.2 and 8 V, respectively.

친환경자동차의 보급 확대를 위한 정책수립과 기술개발이 지속적으로 이루어지고 있는 실정이나 아직까지도 내연기관이 차지하는 비중은 약 95% 차지하고 있다. 화석연료를 기반으로 하는 내연기관의 엄격한 배기가스규제를 충족시키기 위해 자동차와 선박용 후처리장치의 비중이 점차로 증가하고 있다. 천연가스는 대기환경 오염물질을 거의 배출하지 않는 청정연료이며, 주로 시내버스의 연료로 사용되어져 왔다. CNG 버스의 보급률이 계속적으로 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 엄격한 배기규제를 충족시키고 경제적인 후처리장치의 연구개발이 필요하다. 장기적인 연구로는, CNG 버스에서 배출되는 유독성가스인 $CH_4$와 NOx를 동시저감시키는 새로운 NGOC/LNT+NGOC/SCR 복합시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 이 연구는 복합시스템 후단에 장착되는 선택적인촉매환원(SCR)의 washcoat를 세라믹과 메탈 담체에 코팅하여 $de-CH_4/NOx$ 특성을 파악하는 것이다. V, Cu-SCR 촉매는 $CH_4$ 산화반응에는 영향을 미치지 않고, 이중층으로 코팅된 2, 4번 NGOC/SCR 촉매는 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $CH_4$가 산화되기 시작하여 약 $550^{\circ}C$에서는 약 20% 수준으로 $CH_4$가 저감되었다. NGOC/SCR처럼 two layer로 코팅된 2, 4번 SCR 촉매는 $350^{\circ}C$이상에서는 마이너스(-) NOx 전환률을 나타냈다. 이는 $ NH_4NO_3$(질산염)으로 흡장되어 있는 NOx가 촉매의 반응속도가 저하됨에 따라 $N_2$로 환원되지 못하고 $NO+NO_2$로 탈착되었기 때문이다. 세라믹 기반의 복합시스템은 $400^{\circ}C$에서 약 30%, $500^{\circ}C$에서 LOT50에 이르러 메탈 기반의 복합시스템보다 약 20% CH4 정화 성능이 높았고, NGOC/LNT+Cu-SCR 복합시스템 조합이 적합하다.
