High quality nanoparticles of neodymium barium niobium ($NdBa_2NbO_6$) perovskites have been synthesized using an auto ignition combustion technique for the first time. The nanoparticles thus obtained have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. UV-Visible absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the samples are also recorded. The structural analysis shows that the nano powder is phase pure with the average particle size of 35 nm. The band gap determined for $NdBa_2NbO_6$ is 3.9 eV which corresponds to UV-radiation for optical inter band transition with a wavelength of 370nm. The nanopowder could be sintered to 96% of the theoretical density at $1325^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The ultrafine cuboidal nature of nanopowders with fewer degree of agglomeration improved the sinterability for compactness at relatively lower temperature and time. During the sintering process the wide band gap semiconducting behavior diminishes and the material turns to a high permittivity dielectric. The microstructure of the sintered surface was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The striking value of dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r=43$, loss factor tan ${\delta}=1.97{\times}10^{-4}$ and the observed band gap value make it suitable for many dielectric devices.

Although perylene bisimide derivatives have advantages such as excellent thermal stability and high luminance efficiency, they have poor solubility characteristics in organic solvents. In this research, in order to improve the solubility characteristics, we prepared perylene bisimide derivatives (1C) and (2C) with swallow-tail substituted imide, which is known to lead to excellent solubility. The structures and properties of swallow-tail perylene bisimide (1C) and (2C) were analyzed by $^1H-NMR$, FT-IR, UV/Vis spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The maximum absorption wavelengths of (1C) and (2C) in the UV/Vis spectrum were 558 nm and 556 nm, respectively, and the maximum emission wavelengths were 602 nm and 600 nm, respectively. In the TGA, (1C) demonstrated good thermal stability with less than 5 wt% weight loss up to $242^{\circ}C$. In the solubility test, (1C) and (2C) exhibited solubilities of more than 5 wt% in chloroform, ethyl acetate, and dimethylformamide, but not in methanol. When the compounds (1C) and (2C) were mixed with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), thin films showed peaks at 679 nm and 677 nm, respectively, in the photoluminescence spectra. (1C) was found to be a possible candidate as red organic phosphor for hybrid LEDs.

The optimization of a transmission type bremsstrahlung conversion target was carried out with Monte Carlo code FLUKA for intense pulsed electron beams with electron energy of several hundred keV for maximum photon fluence. The photon emission intensity from electrons with energy ranging from 300 keV to 1 MeV on tungsten, tantalum and molybdenum targets was calculated with varied target thicknesses. The research revealed that higher target material element number and electron energy leads to increased photon fluence. For a certain target material, the target thickness with maximum photon emission fluence exhibits a linear relationship with the electron energy. With certain electron energy and target material, the thickness of the target plays a dominant role in increasing the transmission photon intensity, with small target thickness the photon flux is largely restricted by low energy loss of electrons for photon generation while thick targets may impose extra absorption for the generated photons. The spatial distribution of bremsstrahlung photon density was analyzed and the optimal target thicknesses for maximum bremsstrahlung photon fluence were derived versus electron energy on three target materials for a quick determination of optimal target design.

Perlite is one of the major constituents of the radioactive thermal insulation waste (RTIW) originating from nuclear power plants and, for proper waste management, a significant reduction in its volume is required prior to disposal. In this work, the volume reduction of perlite is studied by high-temperature treatment method with using K₂CO₃ as a flux. The perlite is ground with 0-30 wt% K₂CO₃, and differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis is used to monitor the glass transition temperature (T_g) and weight loss. The Tg varied between ~772.2 and 837.1 ℃ with the minima at ~643.5 ℃ with the addition of ~10 wt% K₂CO₃. It is observed that compared to the pure perlite the volume reduction ratio (VRR) increases with the addition of K₂CO₃. The VRR of 11.20 is observed with 5 wt% K₂CO₃ at 700 ℃, as compared to VRR of 5.56 without K₂CO₃ at 700 ℃. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy are used to characterize perlite samples heat-treated without/with 5 wt% K₂CO₃ at 700 ℃. Moreover, the atomic absorption spectroscopy indicates that the proposed heat-treatment procedure is able to completely retain the radionuclides present in the perlite RTIW.

For sustainable development, better performance, and less gas pollution during rumen fermentation, there is a need to find a green and safe feed additive for ruminants. Cysteamine (CS) is a biological compound naturally produced in mammalian cells. It is widely used as a growth promoter in ruminants because of its ability to control hormone secretions. It mainly controls the circulating concentration of somatostatin and enhances growth hormone production, leading to improved growth performance. CS modulates the rumen fermentation process in a way beneficial for the animals and environment, leading to less methane production and nutrients loss. Another beneficial effect of using CS is that it improves the availability of nutrients to the animals and enhances their absorption. CS also works as an antioxidant and protects the cells from oxidative damage. In addition, CS has no adverse effects on bacterial and fungal alpha diversity in ruminants. Dietary supplementation of CS enhances the population of beneficial microorganisms. Still, no data is available on the use of CS on reproductive performance in ruminants, so there is a need to evaluate the effects of using CS in breeding animals for an extended period. In this review, the action mode of CS was updated according to recently published data to highlight the beneficial effects of using CS in ruminants.

In the field of electronic components, the potting material, which is a part of the electronic circuit package, plays a significant role in protecting circuits from the external environment and reducing signal interference among electronic devices during operation. This significantly affects the reliability of the components. Therefore, the accurate prediction and assessment of the lifespan of a material are of paramount importance in the electronics industry. We conducted an accelerated thermal aging evaluation using the Arrhenius technique on elastic potting material developed in-house, focusing on its insulation, waterproofing, and contraction properties. Through a comprehensive analysis of these properties and their interrelations, we confirmed the primary factors influencing molding material failure, as increased hardness is related to aggregation, adhesion, and post-hardening or thermal-aging-induced contraction. Furthermore, when plotting failure times against temperature, we observed that the hardness, adhesive strength, and water absorption rate were the predominant factors up to 120 ℃. Beyond this temperature, the tensile properties were the primary contributing factors. In contrast, the dielectric constant and loss tangent, which are vital for reducing signal interference in electric devices, exhibited positive changes(decreases) with aging and could be excluded as failure factors. Our findings establish valuable correlations between physical properties and techniques for the accurate prediction of failure time, with broad implications for future product lifespans. This study is particularly advantageous for advancing elastic potting materials to satisfy the stringent requirements of reliable environments.

일상에서 그대로 폐기되고 있는 달걀껍질을 폐수처리에 이용하기 위하여 물성조사와 기초적인 흡착 및 중화실험을 수행하였다. 달걀껍질의 특성파악 및 온도에 따른 물성 변화를 검토하기 위하여 각각 $105^{\circ}C$와 $700^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료의 용도에 따른 구조변화를 FT-IR 분석법 및 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 검토하였다. FT-IR 분석결과, $700^{\circ}C$에서 달걀껍질의 주성분인 $CaCO_3$의 열분해에 따른 $CO_2$의 방출로 인해 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와는 달리 C-O absorption band 의 감소가 관찰되었고, X-선 회절분석에서는 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 $105^{\circ}C$의 경우와 거의 유사한 $CaCO_3$ 특성 peak가 나타났으며 $CaCO_3$가 CaO로 완전히 전환되는 온도인 $850^{\circ}C$에서 처리한 시료에 대해 CaO 특성 회절스펙트럼이 관찰되었다. TGA/DTA 분석에 있어서는 약 $600^{\circ}C$에 이르기까지는 무게 감량이 서서히 진행되다가 $600{\sim}800^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 무게감량이 급격히 진행되었으며 그 이상의 온도에서는 무게감량이 더 이상 진행되지 않았다. 또한, 무게감량이 급격히 진행되는 온도구간에서 주된 흡열 peak가 형성되어 $CO_2$ 방출에 따른 열적 특성이 파악되었다. 달걀껍질의 고정층에 의한 연속흡착 실험 결과, 파과시간의 비, 총괄 이동 단위수, 그리고 물질전달계수 등이 column이 진행됨에 따라 그 값이 증가함이 관찰되어 연속흡착에 따른 물질전달의 분배효과를 관찰할 수 있었다. 산성폐수에 대한 중화효과의 경우에 있어서는 각 무기산의 경우 상호 유사한 경향이 나타났으나 $H_2SO_4$의 경우 중화산물인 $CaSO_4$의 형성으로 인해 중화효과가 감소되는 것으로 사료되었다.
