We investigated the microstructure, crystal structure, dielectric, and elecromechanical strain properties of lead-free BaTiO₃ (BT)-modified (Bi_1/2Na_1/2)TiO₃-SrTiO₃ (BNT-ST) piezoelectric ceramics. Samples were prepared by a conventional ceramic processing route. Temperature dependent dielectric properties confirmed that a phase transition from a nonergodic relaxor to an ergodic relaxor was induced when the BT concentration reached 1.5 mol%, interestingly, where the average grain size reached a maximum value of 4.5 ㎛. At the same time, enhanced electromechanical strain (S_max/E_max = 600 pm/V) was obtained. It is suggested that the induced ferroelectric-relaxor phase transition by the BT modification is responsible for the enhancement of electromechanical strain in 1.5 mol% BT-modified BNT-ST ceramics.

In this study, MOSFETs fabricated on Si-doped, MBE-grown β-Ga₂O₃ are demonstrated. A Si-doped Ga₂O₃ epitaxial layer was grown on a Fe-doped, semi-insulating 1.5 cm × 1 cm Ga₂O₃ substrate using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The fabricated devices are circular type MOSFETs with a gate length of 3 ㎛, a source-drain spacing of 20 ㎛, and a gate width of 523 ㎛. The device exhibited a good pinch-off characteristic, a high on-off drain current ratio of approximately 2.7×10⁹, and a high breakdown voltage of 1,080 V, which demonstrates the potential of Ga₂O₃ for power device applications including electric vehicles, railways, and renewable energy.

Methanol is a liquid fuel which could also be produced from renewable energy sources and has appreciably high energy density. In this work, we investigated the application of $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-x}$ supported Cu and Ni catalysts for hydrogen production via methanol steam reforming. Catalysts were synthesized by solution combustion synthesis. The prepared catalysts with various active materials and Cu loading amounts were tested in a reactor at $200-300^{\circ}C$, 0-5 barg range and steam to methanol molar ratio was 1.5. The catalytic properties of Cu and Ni were compared, and the catalytic performance was shown to depend on the amounts of metal loading and operating conditions such as reaction temperature and pressure.

In this paper, we investigate the transcendental meromorphic solutions for the nonlinear differential equations $f^nf^{(k)}+Q_{d_*}(z,f)=R(z)e^{{\alpha}(z)}$ and fⁿf^(k) + Q_d(z, f) = p₁(z)e^α₁(z) + p₂(z)e^α₂(z), where $Q_{d_*}(z,f)$ and Q_d(z, f) are differential polynomials in f with small functions as coefficients, of degree d_* (≤ n - 1) and d (≤ n - 2) respectively, R, p₁, p₂ are non-vanishing small functions of f, and α, α₁, α₂ are nonconstant entire functions. In particular, we give out the conditions for ensuring the existence of these kinds of meromorphic solutions and their possible forms of the above equations.

The n-dimensional generalized Hartogs triangles ℍⁿ_𝐩 with n ≥ 2 and 𝐩 := (p₁, …, p_n) ∈ (ℝ⁺)ⁿ are the domains defined by ℍⁿ_𝐩 := {z = (z₁, …, z_n) ∈ ℂⁿ : |z₁|^p₁ < ⋯ < |z_n|^p_n < 1}. In this paper, we study the L^p Sobolev mapping properties for the Bergman projections on the n-dimensional generalized Hartogs triangles ℍⁿ_𝐩, which can be viewed as a continuation of the work by S. Zhang in [25] and a higher-dimensional generalization of the work by L. D. Edholm and J. D. McNeal in [16].

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Consider the group S₃. Let g : V (G) → S₃ be a function. For each edge xy assign the label 1 if ${\lceil}{\frac{o(g(x))+o(g(y))}{2}}{\rceil}$ is odd or 0 otherwise. g is a group S₃ mean cordial labeling if |v_g(i) - v_g(j)| ≤ 1 and |e_g(0) - e_g(1)| ≤ 1, where vg(i) and e_g(y)denote the number of vertices labeled with an element i and number of edges labeled with y (y = 0, 1). The graph G with group S₃ mean cordial labeling is called group S₃ mean cordial graph. In this paper, we discuss group S3 mean cordial labeling for star related graphs.

Lithium secondary batteries have become an important power source for portable electronic devices such as cellular phones, laptop computers. Presently, commercialized lithium-ion batteries use a LiCoO₂ cathode. However, due to the high cost and environmental problems resulting from cobalt, an intensive search for new electrode materials is being actively conducted. Recently, solid solution LiMn_1-xNi_xO₂ have become attractive because of high capacity and enhanced safety at high voltages over 4.5 V. The Li_1.6Ni_0.35Mn_0.65O₂ compounds were conventionally prepared by a sol-gel method, which can produce the layered Li-Ni-Mn-O compounds with a high homogeneity. And by adding a graphene 2wt% the first charge-discharge voltage profiles was increased over Li_1.6Ni_0.35Mn_0.65O₂ compound. Also, the variation s of the discharge capacities with cycling showed a higher capacity retention rater. In this study, material lifecycle evaluation was performed to analyze the environmental impact characteristics of Li_1.6Ni_0.35Mn_0.65O₂ & graphene 2wt% half-cell manufacturing process. The software of material life cycle assessment was Gabi. Through this, environmental impact assessment was performed for each process. The environmental loads induced by Li_1.6Ni_0.35Mn_0.65O₂ & graphene 2wt% synthesis process were quantified and analyzed, and the results showed that the amount of power had the greatest impact on the environment.

In this study, sensitivity analysis of sediment transport scaling factors in Delft3D-Morphology was performed to examine the effect those parameters on simulation results of cross-shore profile changes. For numerical experiments, one-year wave time series data which were observed in 2018 on the Maengbang coast in Gangwon prefecture were applied as external force. Bathymetric data observed in January and October of the same year were used as initial bathymetric data and annual bathymetric change data, respectively. The simulation performance of the model was evaluated based on the Brier Skill Score index for each part by dividing an arbitrary cross section within the calculation domain into the onshore and offshore parts. As a result, it was found thet the f_BED variable has a slight effect on the simulation results. The f_BEDW and f_SUSW variables show good simulation performance in onshore part when the value less than 0.5 is applied and vice versa. Among the experimental conditions, the optimal combinations of variables are f_BED = 1.0, f_BEDW = 1.0, f_SUSW = 0.1 for the onshore region and f_BED = 1.0, f_BEDW = 1.0, f_SUSW = 0.5 for the offshore region. However, since these combinations were derived based on the observation data on Maengbang beach in 2018, users should be careful when applying those results to other areas.

For a (molecular) graph, the first and second Zagreb indices (M₁ and M₂) are two well-known topological indices, first introduced in 1972 by Gutman and Trinajstić. The first Zagreb index M₁ is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index M₂ is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices. Let $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ with n₁ $\leq$ n₂, n₁ + n₂ = n and p < n₁ be the set of bipartite graphs obtained by deleting p edges from complete bipartite graph K_n1,n2. In this paper, we determine sharp upper and lower bounds on Zagreb indices of graphs from $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs at which the upper and lower bounds on Zagreb indices are attained. As a corollary, we determine the extremal graph from $K_{n_1,n_2}^{P}$ with respect to Zagreb coindices. Moreover a problem has been proposed on the first and second Zagreb indices.

We map 6 massive young stellar objects (YSOs) in the CO J=2-1 line and survey 18 massive YSOs, including the six, in the HCO⁺ J=1−0, SiO J=2−1, H₂O 6₁₆ − 5₂₃ maser, and CH₃OH 7₀ − 6₁ A⁺ maser lines. We detect CO bipolar outflows in all the six mapped sources. Four of them are newly discovered (07299−1651, 21306+5540, 22308+5812, 23133+6050), while 05490+2658 is mapped in the CO J=2-1 line for the first time. The detected outflows are much more massive and energetic than outflows from low-mass YSOs with masses >20 M_⊙ and momenta >300 M_⊙ km s⁻¹. They have mass outflow rates (3−6)×10⁻⁴ M_⊙ yr⁻¹, which are at least one order of magnitude greater than those observed in low-mass YSOs. We detect HCO⁺ and SiO line emission in 18 (100%) and 4 (22%) sources, respectively. The HCO⁺ spectra show high-velocity wings in 11 (61%) sources. We detect H₂O maser emission in 13 (72%) sources and 44 GHz CH₃OH maser emission in 8 (44%) sources. Of the detected sources, 5 H₂O and 6 CH₃OH maser sources are new discoveries. 20081+3122 shows high-velocity (>30 km s⁻¹) H₂O maser lines. We find good correlations of the bolometric luminosity of the central (proto)star with the mechanical force, mechanical luminosity, and mass outflow rate of molecular outflow in the bolometric luminosity range of 10⁻¹−10⁶ L_⊙, and identified 3 intermediate- or high-mass counterparts of Class O objects.
