The paper presents the results of an investigation of the nanostructure, elements, and phase composition of thin (100–140 nm) tin dioxide films obtained via magnetron sputtering and containing Ag, Y, Sc, Ag + Y, and Ag + Sc additives in the volume. Electrical and gas‐sensitive characteristics of hydrogen sensors based on these films with dispersed Pt/Pd layers deposited on the surface were studied. The additives had a significant effect on the nanostructure of the films, the density of oxygen adsorption sites on the surface of tin dioxide, the band bending at the grain boundaries of tin dioxide, the resistance values in pure air, and the responses to hydrogen in the concentration range of 50–2000 ppm. During the long‐term tests of most of the samples studied, there was an increase in the resistance of the sensors in clean air and in the response to hydrogen. It has been established that the joint introduction of Ag + Y into the volume of films prevents the increase in the resistance and response. For these sensors based on thin films of Pt/Pd/SnO2:Sb, Ag, Y the responses to 100 and 1000 ppm of H2 are 25 and 575, correspondingly, the response time at exposure to 100 and 1000 ppm of H2 are 10 and 90 s, the recovery time at exposure to 100 and 1000 ppm of H2 17 and 125 s. Possible mechanisms of the effect of additives on the properties of sensors and the stability of their parameters during long‐term operation were considered.

Recently, the concern for the environment has been increasing rapidly. In machining processes, the treatment of water-soluble coolants waste has caused environmental problems. Water-soluble coolants contain surfactants, preservatives, and corrosion inhibitors for maintaining the stability and performance of the coolants. To reduce the management cost and environmental effect of water-soluble coolants, the authors have been studying a recycling system for water-soluble coolants. In the recycling system, oil-free recycle water is isolated from the coolant waste and reused as a diluent of the new coolant. The authors have been developing different types of water recovery methods for the recycling system, and the recovered water from the coolant waste has potential as a diluent for a new coolant. In this report, we focused on the amine (alkanolamine) -free water-soluble coolant. Some amine-free water-soluble coolants have been developed and are commercially available. A reduction in the environmental effect in the waste treatment of coolants is expected with amine-free coolants. We have demonstrated that the amine-free water-soluble coolant has equal or better cooling and lubricating performance compared with the conventional amine-containing coolant. In addition, the amine-free coolant shows good recyclability for the recycling system. The processing time of the recycling treatment of the amine-free coolant has been decreased by half with our recycling process compared with the conventional amine-containing coolant. In this report, we examined the stability, cooling performance and lubricating performance of the recycle amine-free water-soluble coolant in long term operation. The recycle amine-free water-soluble coolant is operated in a 3-axis machining center for several months. We observed concentration, pH, corrosion inhibition performance, cooling performance, and lubricating performance of the coolant. The results from these experiments show the amine-free water-soluble coolant has the advantage to use in the recycling system for water-soluble coolant.

The problem of damping the noise on the track, arising from the movement of the train, is solved sufficiently but it is simple, if the rail with spacers is laid inside the longitudinally located band sleeper-mechanism. The result is a layered rail thread, consisting of belts: a rail tape with elastic spacers on three sides, a tie-mechanism tape and a ballast layer. The unity of the layers is carried out due to their own mass. This is the static track without external load. Rail compression is an effective property of rail tracks. It is formed in the sleeper mechanism under the influence of vertical forces with displacements and their horizontal derivatives. When loading the track, the compression is carried out repeatedly with subsequent unloading.n this case, each previous changes in the conditions in work of the track are taken into account in the subsequent cycle of loading and unloading. A rail track with a rail compression is a kind of self-adapting linear system, which is necessary with frequent changes in load and operating conditions for silent performance of a functional purpose. The specificity of this path is that the movement of the wheel creates rail vibration and noise, which are immediately damped by compression with damping. The balance between the occurrence of noise and its suppression is achieved by the ratio of the lengths of half-sleeper shoulders as a lever. The condition for the appearance of a shift of the compression forces in the direction from vertical shoulder of the half-sleepers is the unequal settlements of the horizontal shoulder of the L-shaped half-sleepers and its eccentric loading. As a result of the research, the advantages of a rail track with rail compression have been revealed, which is a guarantor of the stability of the design parameters during long-term operation of the track. The cost of a rail track with rail reduction is halved as a result of steel savings, lower labor costs and operational needs.

We present the generalized experimental results of performance degradation of hydrogen sensors based on metal-insulator-semiconductor field effect transistor (MISFET)with the structure Pd-Ta2O5-SiO2-Si. The n-channel MISFET elements were fabricated on silicon single chips together with temperature sensors and heater-resistors by means of conventional -technology. Two hundred cycles of responses to different hydrogen concentrations were measured during eight weeks using special measuring and temperature stabilization circuitries with a feedback loop based on the chip’s thermo-sensor and heater. We show how the response parameters change during long-term tests of sensors under repeated hydrogen impacts. There were two stages of time-dependent response instability, the degradation of which depends on operating conditions, hydrogen concentrations, and time. To interpret results, we proposed the models, parameters of which were calculated using experimental data. These models can be used to predict performances of MISFET-based gas analysis devices for long-term operation.

The construction of the vertical cavern in the salt dome deposit can meet the requirements of both storage capacity and tightness. However, if the vertical cavern is still used as the design shape of the salt rock underground storage in the layered salt rock deposit, the high design capacity cannot be guaranteed while the tightness is satisfied. In this case, the use of a large-span horizontal cavern as the design shape of the salt rock storage can not only effectively increase the design capacity of the storage, but also solve the problems such as the stability and tightness of the storage during the operation period by improving the structural form and working mode. Based on this, the ellipsoid-shaped horizontal salt rock underground storage is taken as an example, and a single-cavern horizontal salt rock underground storage model with different diameter-to-height ratios is established by using FLAC3D software. The change law of vertical and horizontal displacements, volume loss rate, and plastic zone distribution of salt rock storage changing with the diameter-to-height ratio are studied, and the optimal diameter-to-height ratio is determined. And then the long-term operation process of the double-cavern horizontal salt rock underground storage under the optimal diameter-to-height ratio is simulated, and the optimal pillar width is obtained.

A hybrid film consisting of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is formed on a glass substrate using a simple and swift spin coating process for the use in ultraviolet photodetectors (UV PDs). The incorporation of various types of CNTs into ZnO NPs (ZnO@CNT) enhances the performance of UV PDs with respect to sensitivity, photoresponse, and long-term operation stability when compared with pristine ZnO NP films. In particular, the introduction of single-walled CNTs (SWNTs) exhibits a superior performance when compared with the multiwalled CNTs (MWNTs) because SWNTs can not only facilitate the stability of free electrons generated by the O2 desorption on ZnO under UV irradiation owing to the built-in potential between ZnO and SWNT heterojunctions, but also allow facile and efficient transport pathways for electrons through SWNTs with high aspect ratio and low defect density. Furthermore, among the various SWNTs (arc-discharged (A-SWNT), Hipco (H-SWNT), and CoMoCat (C-SWNT) SWNTs), we demonstrate the ZnO@A-SWNT hybrid film exhibits the best performance because of higher conductivity and aspect ratio in A-SWNTs when compared with those of other types of SWNTs. At the optimized conditions for the ZnO@A-SWNT film (ratio of A-SWNTs and ZnO NPs and electrode distance), ZnO@A-SWNT displays a sensitivity of 4.9 × 103 % with an on/off current ratio of ~104 at the bias of 2 V under the UV wavelength of 365 nm (0.47 mW/cm2). In addition, the stability in long-term operation and photoresponse time are significantly improved by the introduction of A-SWNTs into the ZnO NP film when compared with the bare ZnO NPs film.

The influence of modification of fiberglass in the cured state in the microwave electromagnetic field on the value of the limit stresses is significantly manifested when testing samples in the initial state. The increase in limit voltages is on average 7%. Tests of modified samples after exposure in full-scale conditions showed a decrease in the effect with an increase in the exposure time from 6% for exposure of 3 months to 3% for exposure of 8 months. This significantly increases the uniformity of the bending strength values in the batch, which is manifested in a decrease in the coefficient of variation of limit stresses relative to the control samples by 33%. Functional dependencies in the form of 2nd-order polynomials are obtained, which allow predicting the stability of products made of modified fiberglass for long-term operation under the influence of environmental factors with a confidence of up to 98%.
