SnO2-ThO2-PdCl2-In2O3 gas sensing ceramic systems were studied in order to lowr the operating temperatures and reduce the dependence of ambient temperatures and humidities. Sensing materials were coated by brush on the alumina tube followed by the impregnation of solidfier(ethylsilicate). Coated species were dried and sintered at 75$0^{\circ}C$ for 30min. carbon monoxide gas detecting sensitiviteis were measured in various ambinet temperatures and humidities. In the composition of 94SnO2-5ThO2-PdCl2 system carbon monoxide gas detecting sensors showed the highest detecting sensitivities and the lowest operating temperature(15$0^{\circ}C$). As the ambient temperatures and humidities were increased, sensitivities were decreased. Because the oscillation effects were observed at high humidities, it was suggested that the sensitivities of sensors depend greatly on the humidities.

The oxidation of carbon monoxide has been investigated on Ni-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ catalyst at 300 to $450^{\circ}$. The oxidation rates have been correlated with 1.5-order kinetics; first with respect to CO and 1/2 with respect to $O_2$. Carbon monoxide is adsorbed on lattice oxygen of Ni-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$, while oxygen appears to be adsorbed on oxygen vacancy formed by Ni-doping. The conductivities show that adsorption of CO on O-lattice produces conduction electron and adsorption of $O_2$ on O-vacancy withdraws the conduction electron from vacancy. The adsorption process of CO on O-lattice is rate-determining step and dominant defect of Ni-doped ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ is suggested from the agreement between kinetic and conductivity data.

Delayed anoxic encephalopathy after carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is characterized by neurological deterioration that occurs after recovery from acute CO intoxication. There has been no established therapy. We report a patient recovered from acute CO intoxication developed various neurological symptoms. After the administration of high dose prednisolone and anticholinesterase inhibitor, the therapeutic effect was remarkable and confirmed by quantitative analysis of diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI). DTI could be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect for delayed anoxic encephalopathy after CO poisoning.

The reaction of aryl iodides or bromides with olefins in the presence of 1 mol % of $PdCl_2(PPh_3)_2$ and 3 equiv. of $n-Bu_3N\; at\; 100^{\circ}C$ in carbon monoxide atmosphere gave the corresponding aryl vinyl ketones in good yields with small amount of vinylated 1-aryl olefins. But, when the reaction was proceeded under the 10 atm of carbon monoxide, aryl vinyl ${\alpha}$-diketones and aryl vinyl ketones were obtained in moderate to good yields. The reaction was tolerant of a wide variety of functional groups on either the aryl halides or olefin compounds. Reactivity of aryl halide decrease in the order; aryl iodide > aryl bromide ${\gg}$aryl chloride. In general, the reaction proceeded well and gave good yields of aryl vinyl ketones and aryl vinyl ${\alpha}$-diketones when reactants are substituted with electron withdrawing groups.

Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CO-DH) was found to be present in Acinetobacter sp. strain JC1 grown on CO and also on methylotrophic and heterotrophic substrates, except for pyruvate and nutrient broth. The amounts of CO-DH in cells grown on methylamine, glucose, galactose, and succinate were comparable to that of the CO-grown cells. CO-DH activity, however, was onot deteted by the dye-linked assay method in cell extracts prepared from cells grown on organic substrates, except on ethanol and succinate. THe activity was detected when the CO-DH was stained by activity using CO as a substrate. CO-DHs in cells grown on different substrates were found to be identical in immunological properties.

Carbon-supported Pt catalyst systems containing defect adsorption sites on the anode of direct methanol fuel cells were investigated, to elucidate the mechanisms of H₂ dissociation and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Density functional theory calculations were carried out to determine the effect of defect sites located neighboring to or distant from the Pt catalyst on H₂ and CO adsorption properties, based on electronic properties such as adsorption energy and electronic band gap. Interestingly, the presence of neighboring defect sites led to a reduction of H₂ dissociation and CO poisoning due to atomic Pt filling the defect sites. At distant sites, H₂ dissociation was active on Pt, but CO filled the defect sites to form carbon π-π bonds, thus enhancing the oxidation of the carbon surface. It should be noted that defect sites can cause CO poisoning, thereby deactivating the anode gradually.

The direct carbon fuel cell (DCFC) has attracted researcher's attention recently, due to its high conversion efficiency and its abundant fuel, carbon. A DCFC mathematical model has developed in two-dimensional, lab-scale, and considers Boudouard reaction and carbon monoxide (CO) oxidation. The model simulates the CO production by Boudouard reaction and additional electron production by CO oxidation. The Boudouard equilibrium strongly depends on operating temperature and affects the amount of produced CO and consequentially affects the overall fuel cell performance. Two different operating temperatures (973 K, 1023 K) has been calculated to discover the CO production by Boudouard reaction and overall fuel cell performance. Moreover, anode thickness of the cell has been considered to find out the influence of the Boudouard reaction zone in fuel cell performance. It was found that in high temperature operating DCFC modeling, the Boudouard reaction cannot be neglected and has a vital role in the overall fuel cell performance.

Emergency medical service is an important part of the health care delivery system, and the optimal allocation of resources and their efficient utilization are essentially demanded. Since these conditions are the prerequisite to prompt treatment which, in turn, will be crucial for life saving and in reducing the undesirable sequelae of the event. This study, taking the hyperbaric chamber for carbon monoxide poisoning as an example, is to develop a stochastic approach for solving the problems of optimal allocation of such emergency medical facility in Korea. The hyperbaric chamber, in Korea, is used almost exclusively for the treatment of acute carbon monoxide poisoning, most of which occur at home, since the coal briquette is used as domestic fuel by 69.6 per cent of the Korean population. The annual incidence rate of the comatous and fatal carbon monoxide poisoning is estimated at 45.5 per 10,000 of coal briquette-using population. It offers a serious public health problem and occupies a large portion of the emergency outpatients, especially in the winter season. The requirement of hyperbaric chambers can be calculated by setting the level of the annual queueing rate, which is here defined as the proportion of the annual number of the queued patients among the annual number of the total patients. The rate is determined by the size of the coal briquette-using population which generate a certain number of carbon monoxide poisoning patients in terms of the annual incidence rate, and the number of hyperbaric chambers per hospital to which the patients are sent, assuming that there is no referral of the patients among hospitals. The queueing occurs due to the conflicting events of the 'arrival' of the patients and the 'service' of the hyperbaric chambers. Here, we can assume that the length of the service time of hyperbaric chambers is fixed at sixty minutes, and the service discipline is based on 'first come, first served'. The arrival pattern of the carbon monoxide poisoning is relatively unique, because it usually occurs while the people are in bed. Diurnal variation of the carbon monoxide poisoning can hardly be formulated mathematically, so empirical cumulative distribution of the probability of the hourly arrival of the patients was used for Monte Carlo simulation to calculate the probability of queueing by the number of the patients per day, for the cases of one, two or three hyperbaric chambers assumed to be available per hospital. Incidence of the carbon monoxide poisoning also has strong seasonal variation, because of the four distinctive seasons in Korea. So the number of the patients per day could not be assumed to be distributed according to the Poisson distribution. Testing the fitness of various distributions of rare event, it turned out to be that the daily distribution of the carbon monoxide poisoning fits well to the Polya-Eggenberger distribution. With this model, we could forecast the number of the poisonings per day by the size of the coal-briquette using population. By combining the probability of queueing by the number of patients per day, and the probability of the number of patients per day in a year, we can estimate the number of the queued patients and the number of the patients in a year by the number of hyperbaric chamber per hospital and by the size of coal briquette-using population. Setting 5 per cent as the annual queueing rate, the required number of hyperbaric chambers was calculated for each province and for the whole country, in the cases of 25, 50, 75 and 100 per cent of the treatment rate which stand for the rate of the patients treated by hyperbaric chamber among the patients who are to be treated. Findings of the study were as follows. 1. Probability of the number of patients per day follows Polya-Eggenberger distribution. $$P(X=\gamma)=\frac{\Pi\limits_{k=1}^\gamma[m+(K-1)\times10.86]}{\gamma!}\times11.86^{-{(\frac{m}{10.86}+\gamma)}}$$ when$${\gamma}=1,2,...,n$$$$P(X=0)=11.86^{-(m/10.86)}$$ when $${\gamma}=0$$ Hourly arrival pattern of the patients turned out to be bimodal, the large peak was observed in $7 : 00{\sim}8 : 00$ a.m., and the small peak in $11 : 00{\sim}12 : 00$ p.m. 2. In the cases of only one or two hyperbaric chambers installed per hospital, the annual queueing rate will be at the level of more than 5 per cent. Only in case of three chambers, however, the rate will reach 5 per cent when the average number of the patients per day is 0.481. 3. According to the results above, a hospital equipped with three hyperbaric chambers will be able to serve 166,485, 83,242, 55,495 and 41,620 of population, when the treatmet rate are 25, 50, 75 and 100 per cent. 4. The required number of hyperbaric chambers are estimated at 483, 963, 1,441 and 1,923 when the treatment rate are taken as 25, 50, 75 and 100 per cent. Therefore, the shortage are respectively turned out to be 312, 791. 1,270 and 1,752. The author believes that the methodology developed in this study will also be applicable to the problems of resource allocation for the other kinds of the emergency medical facilities.

[ $SO_2$ ]and NO gases that come from the flue gases of most of all industrial combustion processes are harmful to everything include person and industrial facilities. For the simplification of the environmental clean-up processes, we studied the decomposition process by microwave. The microwave can destroy molecules into elementary atoms and offers energy to the atoms to react with carbons. Since the microwave is not absorbed into quartz tube and metallic chamber, the air pollution gases can be removed with much lower energy than in the case of conventional methods. We studied the decomposition of $SO_2$ and NO gases on the carbon beds by microwave. In the microwave field, the gases can be decomposed to form other compounds, such as elementary sulfur, nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. It was found that CO gas is formed at higher temperature than is $CO_2$ gas, so it needs to control the bed temperature depend on products that we want to get.

대기오염물질이 인간의 건강에 악영향을 미치는 사실은 잘 알려져 있다. 유엔 환경 계획 (united nations environment program; UNEP) 보고서에 따르면, 미세먼지와 일산화탄소 오염물질로 연간 전 세계에서 430만 명이 목숨을 잃었다. 일산화탄소는 탄소와 산소로 구성된 화합물로 가정에서 생성되는 독성 가스 중 가장 위험한 가스이다. 연구를 위하여 2004년부터 2013년까지 10년간 대구 경북 지역의 대기오염관측소에서 관측된 1시간, 6시간, 12시간, 24시간 평균 일산화탄소 농도 자료를 사용하였다. 일반화 극단치 분포의 모수는 최우추정법과 L-적률추정법을 통해 추정하였고 적합도 검정을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 표본 수가 크지 않으므로 L-적률추정법이 최대우도법에 비해 모수추정에 적합하였다. 또한, 5년, 10년, 20년, 40년 재현수준을 추정하여 대구 경북 지역 일산화탄소 위험지역을 살펴보았다.
