The objectives of this paper are to examine the effect of nano-particles on the pool type absorption heat transfer enhancement and to find the optimal conditions to design a highly effective compact absorber for $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption system. The effect of $Al_2O_3$ and CNT particles on the absorption performance is studied experimentally. The experimental ranges of the key parameters are 20% of $NH_3$ concentration, $0{\sim}0.08%$ (volume fraction) of CNT particles, and $0{\sim}0.06%$ (volume fraction) of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles. For the $NH_3/H_2O$ nanofluids, the heat transfer rate and absorption rate with 0.02 vol% $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles were found to be 28.9% and 17.8% higher than those without nano-particles, respectively. It is recommended that the concentration of 0.02 vol% of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles be the best candidate for $NH_3/H_2O$ absorption performance enhancement.

We have observed the saturated absorption spectrum of the P(16) line of the V$_1$＋V$_3$ band of $^{13}$ C$_2$H$_2$ molecule by using the external cavity spectroscopy method. The frequency of laser has been stabilized to the saturated absorption spectrum. The relative contrast of the saturation spectrum is about 7 % with respect to the linear absorption and the linewidth is about 1.8 MHz. The frequency fluctuation of the stabilized LD is about $\pm$20 KHz during the sampling time 100 S.

The absorber in which heat and mass transfer phenomena occur simultaneously is one of the most critical components in the absorption system. It has the most significant influence on the performance and the size of the absorption system. During the absorption process, heat and mass transfer resistances exist in both liquid and vapor regions, so that the heat transfer mode should be carefully selected to reduce them. The objective of this paper is to review the previous papers analysing mathematical models of simultaneous heat and mass transfer phenomena during the absorption process. The most conventional working fluids ($H_2O$LiBr and $NH_3/H_2O$) are considered and the most common absorption modes (falling film and bubble mode) are dealt with in this review.

The foliar injuries and absorption rates of calcium compounds in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. momotaro) and citrus [Shiranuhi(C. Marc. ${\time}C$. sinensis Osbeck)${\time}C$. reticulata Blanco)] were investigated. 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0% of $CaCl_2$, $Ca(NO_3)_2$, $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$, Ca-EDTA, Ca formate or Ca acetate solution were applied to the leaves of tomato and citrus. The leaf burns were observed only in the foliar applications of Ca-EDTA and $Ca(H_2PO_4)_2$. Ca-EDTA exhibited more serious foliar injury than CaH2PO4. As applied with $^{45}CaCl_2$, $^{45}Ca(NO_3)_2$, $^{45}Ca$ formate or $^{45}Ca$ acetate, the rates of Ca absorptions by tomato and citrus leaves for 7 days were 17 to 32% and 6.6 to 46%, respectively. It meant that the absorption was differently influenced on calcium compounds. In tomato, the order of Ca foliar absorption was $Ca(NO_3)_2$ > Ca formate = $CaCl_2$ > Ca acetate. Although there was no difference in Ca absorption between the adaxial and abaxial parts of tomato leaves, total absorption was greater in expanded leaves than in expanding ones. On the other hand, in citrus Ca foliar absorption from $Ca(NO_3)_2$ or Ca formate was more active than that from $CaCl_2$ or Ca acetate. In conclusion, $Ca(NO_3)_2$ and Ca formate are recommended for the foliar application of Ca in tomato and citrus in order to increase absorption of Ca into their leaves.

The penetrating speeds of organic solvents into the nude mouse skin were measured by in vitro methods(diffusion cell methods) and in vivo methods(measuring internal residues of the organic solvents). The results were as follows: 1. The penetrating speeds of toluene, m-xylene, MEK, MIBK, ethanol, IPA and 2-bromopropane into the skin were $0.4832mg/cm^2/h$, $0.1738mg/cm^2/h$, $1.124mg/cm^2/h$, $0.6627mg/cm^2/h$, $1.747mg/cm^2/h$, $1.359mg/cm^2/h$, and 2-bromopropane $4.165mg/cm^2/h$ respectively. 2. The penetrating speeds of the mixtures of two, toluene and m-xylene, the mixture of three, IPA, ethyl acetate, and MIBK, the mixture of five, toluene, m-xylene, IPA, ethyl acetate, and MIBK were $0.172mg/cm^2/h$, $1.431mg/cm^2/h$, and $2.983mg/cm^2/h$ respectively. 3. The absorption speeds of 2-bromopropane and styrene which were measured by in vivo processes were $3.12mg/cm^2/h$ and $1.44mg/cm^2/h$ respectively. The absorption speed of 2-bromopropane mesured in vivo was 74.9% of that measured by in vitro methods, $4.165mg/cm^2/h$.

Many research groups have studied tandem or multi-junction cells to overcome this low efficiency and degradation. In multi-junction cells, band-gap engineering of each absorb layer is needed to absorb the light at various wavelengths efficiently. Various absorption layers can be formed using multi-junctions, such as hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC:H), amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe:H) and microcrystalline silicon (${\mu}c$-Si:H), etc. Among them, ${\mu}c$-Si:H is the bottom absorber material because it has a low band-gap and does not exhibit light-induced degradation like amorphous silicon. Nevertheless, ${\mu}c$-Si:H requires a much thicker material (>2 mm) to absorb sufficient light due to its smaller light absorption coefficient, highlighting the need for a high growth rate for productivity. ${\mu}c$-SiGe:H has a much higher absorption coefficient than ${\mu}c$-Si:H at the low energy wavelength, meaning that the thickness of the absorption layer can be decreased to less than half that of ${\mu}c$-Si:H. ${\mu}c$-SiGe:H films were prepared using 40 MHz very high frequency PECVD method at 1 Torr. SiH4 and GeH4 were used as a reactive gas and H2 was used as a dilution gas. In this study, the ${\mu}c$-SiGe:H layer for triple solar cells applications was performed to optimize the film properties.

Fermentation of palm oil mill effluent (POME) produces biohydrogen in a mixture at a specific set condition. This research was conducted to purify the produced mixed biohydrogen via absorption and membrane techniques. Three different solvents, methyl ethanolamine (MEA), ammonia ($NH_3$) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) solutions, were used in absorption technique. The highest $H_2$ purity was found using 1M MEA solution with 5.0 ml/s feed mixed gas flow rate at 60 minutes absorption time. Meanwhile, the purified biohydrogen using a polysulfone membrane had the highest $H_2$ purity at 2~3 bar operating pressure. Upon testing with proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the highest current and power produced at 100% $H_2$ were 1.66 A and 8.1 W, while the lowest were produced at 50/50 vol% $H_2/CO_2$ (0.32 A and 0.49 W). These results proved that both purification techniques have significant potential for $H_2$ purification efficiency.

The dehumidifiers were prepared by the impregnation of the zeolites such as MCM 48, USY, beta on the silica ceramic paper. Their capacities for $H_2O$ absorption and regeneration of the bed were tested in a fixed bed reactor system. The $H_2O$ absorption capacities of the dehumidifiers impregnated with the zeolites were $1.5{\sim}2$ times higher than those without the zeolites. Especially, the humidifier using MCM 48 and colloidal silica showed an excellent capacity (42.1g $H_2O/g$ absorbent). It was found that the $H_2O$ absorption capacities of the dehumidifiers were improved because the amount of silica gel, the main component in absorbing $H_2O$, increased due to the large surface area and pore volume of the zeolites. In addition, $H_2O$ was easily desorbed from the dehumidifiers with zeolites at $80^{\circ}C$ of regeneration temperature and the desorption amount of $H_2O$ was the same as that absorbed. It was confirmed that the $H_2O$ absorption capacities of the dehumidifiers impregnated with zeolite were maintained without deactivation through the repeated cyclic experiments.

This study has been carried out with the eight HPHT processed NOUV diamonds - two yellow, two yellowish green, two green and two orangy yellow color stones. The gemological properties of these diamonds included a highly saturated body color, graphitized fractures around the girdles, tension cracks around crystalline inclusions, long-wave UV with medium yellowish green to a very strong yellowish green luminescence, and short-wave UV with faint yellowish green to a strong yellowish green luminescence. Distinctive features of spectroscopic properties include absorption peaks at 415 nm and 503 nm a strong absorption band at $460{\sim}480nm$ and a H2 center at 986nm. Infrared spectra showed an absorption peak at $1344cm^{-1}$ (C center), which is the characteristics related to single substitutional nitrogen.
