  • The present research investigates the thermodynamically bending behavior of FG sandwich plates, laying on the Winkler/Pasternak/Kerr foundation with various boundary conditions, subjected to harmonic thermal load varying through thickness. The supposed FG sandwich plate has three layers with a ceramic core. The constituents' volume fractions of the lower and upper faces vary gradually in the direction of the FG sandwich plate thickness. This variation is performed according to various models: a Power law, Trigonometric, Viola-Tornabene, and the Exponential model, while the core is constantly homogeneous. The displacement field considered in the current work contains integral terms and fewer unknowns than other theories in the literature. The corresponding equations of motion are derived based on Hamilton's principle. The impact of the distribution model, scheme, aspect ratio, side-to-thickness ratio, boundary conditions, and elastic foundations on thermodynamic bending are examined in this study. The deflections obtained for the sandwich plate without elastic foundations have the lowest values for all boundary conditions. In addition, the minimum deflection values are obtained for the exponential volume fraction law model. The sandwich plate's non-dimensional deflection increases as the aspect ratio increases for all distribution models.

  • Sequential lateral solidification has recently become an option for manufacturing LTPS TFT LCDs owing to the availability of production equipment. Compared to the currently established ELA crystallization method, it is characterized by its low running costs and the high quality microstructures that can be obtained. In this presentation, we will review the production-related developments as well as elaborate on recent research activities that deal with a number of crystallization schemes that can be beneficial for future active-matrix display products.

  • A kind of nanosized sulfated zirconia was prepared by a hydrothermal method, and full characterized by XRD, TEM, BET, TGA, and FTIR. Its catalytic activity was evaluated in the esterification reactions, including the testing of the catalytic reusability and the optimization of reaction conditions. The obtained catalyst was revealed to be highly efficient solid catalyst for the esterification of acetic acid with n-butanol, presenting the advantages of high conversion and selectivity, easy recovery, and steady reusability.

  • The dependence of environmental gases such as Ar, $O_2$ on the emission current from carbon nanotube emitters was examined in this study. Based on our experiments, the current density is decreased in single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), but is increased in multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) as the vacuum level decreases from $10^{-7}$ Torr to $10^{-4}$ Torr by the inflow purging gases. The current density subsequently recovered as the vacuum level increased to $10^{-7}$ Torr when gas inflow stopped. From those results, we conclude that the MWNTs have completely different degradation characteristics in comparison to SWNTs excluding the effect of binder materials.

  • Characteristics of indium-zinc-oxide (IZO)-Ag-IZO multilayer grown on a PET substrate were investigated for flexible organic emitting diodes. By inserting very thin Ag layer between amorphous IZO, IZO-Ag-IZO (IAI) multilayer anode exhibited remarkably reduced sheet resistance and high transmittance due to the surface plasmon resonance effect and Ag layer.

  • Material selection is a complex problem in the design and development of products for diverse engineering applications. This paper is aimed to present a fuzzy decision making approach to deal with the material selection in engineering design problems. A fuzzy multi criteria decision-making model is proposed for solving the material selection problem. The proposed model makes use of fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order reference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) with trapezoidal numbers for evaluating the criteria and ranking the alternatives. And result is compared with fuzzy VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje in Serbian, means Multi criteria Optimisation and Compromise Solution) which is proposed by Jeya Girubha and Vinodh [2012]. The present paper is aimed to also improve literature of fuzzy decision making for material selection problem.

  • In this paper, we propose an algorithm that extracts a high-precision 3D skeleton using a model generated using a distributed RGB-D camera. When information about a 3D model is extracted through a distributed RGB-D camera, if the information of the 3D model is used, a skeleton with higher precision can be obtained. In this paper, in order to improve the precision of the 2D skeleton, we find the conditions to obtain the 2D skeleton well using the PCA. Through this, high-quality 2D skeletons are obtained, and high-precision 3D skeletons are extracted by combining the information of the 2D skeletons. Even though this process goes through, the generated skeleton may have errors, so we propose an algorithm that removes these errors by using the information of the 3D model. We were able to extract very high accuracy skeletons using the proposed method.

  • Using first-principles calculations, we successfully investigate the electrochemical performance of the monoclinic $NaMnO_2$ for the sodium ion batteries. $NaMnO_2$ possesses a voltage window of 3.54-2.52 V and theoretical reversible capacity of $136mAh\;g^{-1}$. Besides, we find that the metallicity of the monoclinic $NaMnO_2$ gradually increases during Na extraction. Moreover, the computational Na migration energy barrier in the monoclinic $NaMnO_2$ is 0.18 eV, ensuring ideal conductivity and reversible capacity. Although the Jahn-Teller distortion effects limit the enhancement of the reversible capacity of the monoclinic $NaMnO_2$, it is still a right cathode material for the sodium ion batteries. The computational results are well in consistent with the experimental investigations.
