The purpose of this study is to develop the methodology to assess the sustainability of the aviation industry based on network data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the assessment of the national aviation industry process productivity. The national aviation industry is classified into the front stage, corresponding to the aviation market, and the behind stage, the ecosystem of the aviation industry from which added value is created. DEA for each stage and network DEA analysis from a system perspective and a process perspective were applied by integrating the two stages. Unlike the results of national productivity assessments based on previous aviation performance, it was found that the productivity varied among countries in each stage, and that the process of creating added value had the most profound effect on the overall sustainability determination of the national aviation industry. This methodology and the results are expected to contribute toward establishing the national policy direction for aviation industry sustainability.

When make multi-layer ceramics device such as EMI filter, there are a lot of process problems. Specially, crack, camber and delamination should be controlled surely by different sinter shrinkage rate of interface of two materials. The purpose of this work was to co-fire defectfree ferrite/varistor ceramic multi-layers fabricated via a calcination temperature and organic vehicle contents of ferrite. Sintering shrinkage of both calcined ferrite and varistor materials were measured using dilatometer. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that no significant phase change occurred in the materials under investigation as a result of the sintering process. Crack and delamination of each interface were observed by scanning electron microscopy and optical microscope. We obtained the defect-free and co-fired ferrite/varistor ceramic multi-layer by controlling calcinations temperature.
