  • Section 2 Contribution of Science and Technology to Global Issues
    Chapter 1 Progress in Science and Technology and Socioeconomic Changes Section 2 Contribution of Science and Technology to Global Issues From the end of the 19th century to the 20th century, science and technology has rapidly advanced. Chemical industry, electrical industry and heavy industry and so on emerged and we have advanced forward to ages of mass production and mass consumption, when goods could be transported in bulk to distant locations for a short period, as physical distribution, including railways, cars and airplanes, developed. This accompanied the mass disposal of goods and mass consumption of energy, highlighting the Chapter 1 risk of depletion of limited resources, global warming, the destruction of ecosystems and the crisis in the global environment. Science and technology that changed our lives were explained in Section 1 of this chapter, but as well as changing our lives in terms of key daily lifestyle elements, science and technology are also crucial to solve global issues such as climate change, natural resource depletion and energy. There are significant expectations as to how science and technology can contribute to solve global issues. This section addresses the social contribution of science and technology in Japan domestically and internationally. 1 Contribution to Global Warming Countermeasures ○ Global warming state Climate changes caused by global warming are Average global surface temperature (land + sea) anomaly one of the most urgent problems which the world faces. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)1, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Year in 2007, published the Synthesis Report of Fifth Changes in average global sea level Assessment Report in 2014.

The songs, composed according to the conventions prescribed by the highest authority of the CaurTya Vaisnava school are primarily religious; and they are at the same time literary products some of them of great beauty. In them religious sentiment is expressed in terms of human emotion anc passion* The language in which the poems are composed is use exclusively by the Vaisnava poets of the Caitanya sect and ha£ especial features of its own# Therefore for a proper under­ standing of the works of the Vaisnava poets, these three aspec must be all taken into consideration.

During the charging process, however, the cycling life is limited by dendrite 2+ formation because the desolvation process of hexaaqua zinc cation complex [Zn(H 2O) 6] is incomplete and sluggish. Herein, two Zr-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) called UIO-66 and MOF-808 respectively, were used as additive into the electrolyte in order to improve the cycling life and accelerate the desolvation process. With the foundation of coin cell testing platform of Zn vs Zn symmetric battery, it can be clearly seen that the overpotential is decreased and the cycling life is prolonged. With the help of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), it is proved that the desolvation process can be accelerated with the help of Zr-based MOFs additive.
