A boiler system transforms water to pressured supercritical steam which drives the running of the turbine to rotate in the generator to produce electricity in power plants. Materials for building the tube system face challenges from high temperature creep damage, thermal fatigue/expansion, fireside and steam corrosion, etc. A database on the creep resistance strength and steam oxidation of the materials is important to the long-term reliable operation of the boiler system. Generally, the ferritic steels, i.e., grade 1, grade 2, grade 9, and X20, are extensively used as the superheater (SH) and reheater (RH) in supercritical (SC) and ultra supercritcal (USC) power plants. Currently, advanced austenitic steel, such as TP347H (FG), Super304H and HR3C, are beginning to replace the traditional ferritic steels as they allow an increase in steam temperature to meet the demands for increased plant efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to provide the state-of-the-art knowledge on boiler tube materials, including the strengthening, metallurgy, property/microstructural degradation, oxidation, and oxidation property improvement and then describe the modern microstructural characterization methods to assess and control the properties of these alloys. The paper covers the limited experience and experiment results with the alloys and presents important information on microstructural strengthening, degradation, and oxidation mechanisms.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental contaminant provoking genetic mutation and damages to liver and central nerve system even at low concentrations. A practical scheme is reported using toluene as a primary substrate to revitalize the biofilter column for an extended period of TCE degradation. The rate of trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation by Pseudomonas putida F1 at $25^{\circ}C$ decreased exponentially with time, without toluene feeding to a biofilter column ($11\;cm\;I.D.{\times}95\;cm$ height). The rate of decrease was 2.5 times faster at a TCE concentration of $970\;{\mu}g/L$ compared to a TCE concentration of $110\;{\mu}g/L$. The TCE itself was not toxic to the cells, but the metabolic intermediates of the TCE degradation were apparently responsible for the decrease in the TCE degradation rate. A short-term (2 h) supply of toluene ($2,200\;{\mu}g/L$) at an empty bed residence time (EBRT) of 6.4 min recovered the relative column activity by $43\%$ when the TCE removal efficiency at the time of toluene feeding was $58\%$. The recovery of the TCE removal efficiency increased at higher incoming toluene concentrations and longer toluene supply durations according to the Monod type of kinetic expressions. A longer duration ($1.4{\sim}2.4$ times) of toluene supply increased the recovery of the TCE removal efficiency by $20\%$ for the same toluene load.

Modified 9Cr-1Mo steels possess excellent high-temperature mechanical properties and are widely used in energy conversion industries. However, in-service materials degradation, such as softening, carbide-induced embrittlement, temper embrittlement, etc., can take place during long-term operation. Evolution of microstructure due to service exposure to high temperature has a strong effect on the performance of heat resistant steels. In case of modified 9Cr-1Mo steels, precipitation of $Fe_2Mo$-type laves phases and coarsening of $M_{23}C_6$-type carbides are the primary cause of degradation of mechanical properties such as toughness, hardness, tensile strength and creep resistance. This study was aimed at finding reliable parameter for assessing the integrity of modified 9Cr-1Mo steels. Characteristic parameters were attained between mechanical and ultrasonic properties.

In this paper, electrical and reliability properties of N$_2$O oxides, grown at the temperature of 95$0^{\circ}C$ and 100$0^{\circ}C$ to 74$\AA$, and 82$\AA$. respectively, using NS12TO gas in a conventional furnace, have been compared with those of pure oxide grown at the temperature of 850 to 84$\AA$ using O$_2$ gas. Initial IS1gT-VS1gT characteristics of N$_2$O oxides were similar to those of pure oxide, and reliability properties of N$_2$O oxides, such as charge trapping, interface state density and leakage current at low electric field under F-N stress, were improved much better than those of pure oxide. But, with increasing capacitor area. TDDB characteristics of N$_2$O oxides were more degraded than those of pure oxide and this degradation of TDDB characteristics was more severe in 100$0^{\circ}C$ N$_2$Ooxide than in 95$0^{\circ}C$ N$_2$O oxide. The improvement of reliability properties excluding TDDB in N$_2$Ooxides was attributed to the hardness of the interface improved by nitrogen pile-up at the interface of Si/SiO$_2$, but on the other hand, the degradation of TDDB characteristics in N$_2$O oxides was obsered due to the increase of local thinning spots caused by excessive nitrogen at interface during the growth of N$_2$O oxides.

A $\alpha$-l, 4-D-glucan maltohydrolase $(\beta$-amylase), secreted by the mesophilic aerobic bacterium Bacillus polymyxa No.26, was purified and characterized. The enzyme production was increased after a logarithmic phase of bacterial growth and paralleled with the onset of bacterial sporulation. By applying anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration the enzyme was purified 16.7-fold and had a specific activity of 285.7 units/mg. Two enzyme activities were eluted on a column of DEAE-Sephadex chromatography, and they were designated as E-I for a major enzyme peak and E-II for a minor peak. Of them, E-I enzyme peak was further purified by using gel chromatography. The molecular mass of this enzyme was determined to be 64, 000 daltons and consisted of a single subunit, showing an isoelectric point of 8.9. The enzyme was able to attack specifically the $\alpha$-l, 4-glycosidic linkages in soluble starch and caused its complete hydrolysis to maltose and $\beta$-limited dextrin. This amylolytic enzyme displayed a temperature optimum at $45^\circ{C}$ and a pH optimum at 7.0. The amino acid composition of the purified enzyme was quite similar to the other bacterial $\beta$-amylases reported. Surprisingly, the purified enzyme from this aerobe only exhibited hydrolytic activity on soluble starch, not on starch granules. The degradation of from starch by $\beta$-amylase was greatly stimulated by pullulanase addition. These results differentiated from other $\beta$-amylases reported. Based on a previous result that showed the enzyme system involves in effective degradation of raw starch granules, this result strongly suggested that the purified enzyme (E-I) can be a synergistic part of starch granule-digestion and E-II plays a crucial role in digestion of starch granules.

In this study, p-type thin film transistors consisting of CuO channels were fabricated by sol-gel process, with copper (II) acetate monohydrate precursors. At $500^{\circ}C$, the deposited films were fully converted into monoclinic phase CuO. The fabricated CuO thin film transistors deliver field effect mobility in saturation regime of $0.015cm^2/Vs$, and $I_{on}/I_{off}$ of ${\sim}10^3$. The degradation of the performance of the fabricated CuO thin film transistor caused by the exposure to air has been studied.

The depletion of solid solution elements from matrix and the change of carbides during artificial aging of 2.25CrMo steel at $630^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The Mo and Cr elements were found to be depleted drastically in the early stage of aging. The change of carbides was confirmed by analyzing the XRD patterns of electrolytically extracted carbides. Four type of carbides, $M_{23}C_6$, $M_3C$, $M_2C$ and $M_6C$, were found to exist in the specimen before aging. The amount of $M_6C$ carbides increased with aging time, while that of $M_3C$ carbides diminished after short aging time.

초임계 암모니아 분위기와 CuI 촉매 하에서 p-Diiodobenzene(PDIB)를 아민화 반응시켜 p-Phenylenediamine(PPD)를 합성하는 방법을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 공정변수들이 PPD 생성 수율에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 반응 온도, 암모니아 초기 주입 양에 따른 반응 압력, 촉매의 유무 및 촉매 주입량, 반응 시간 등을 변화시키면서 이에 따른 PPD 수율 변화를 GC 분석을 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과, 무촉매 반응 시에는 PPD가 전혀 생성되지 않음을 알 수 있었으며, 반응온도, 반응 압력, 촉매 주입량 및 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 PPD 생성 수율이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다 단, 반응온도의 경우 $250^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 열분해에 의해 PPD가 감소하여 $200^{\circ}C$가 최적의 온도임을 알 수 있었다. 또한, FT-IR과 $^1H$-NMR 분석을 통하여 아민기의 결합 특성과 PPD의 구조를 확인하였다.

Amorphous oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated with 0.5 wt% silicon doped zinc tin oxide (a-0.5SZTO) thin film deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. In order to investigate the effect of annealing treatment on the electrical properties of TFTs, a-0.5SZTO thin films were annealed at three different temperatures ($300^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$, and $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in a air atmosphere. The structural and electrical properties of a-0.5SZTO TFTs were measured using X-ray diffraction and a semiconductor analyzer. As annealing temperature increased from $300^{\circ}C$ to $500^{\circ}C$, no peak was observed. This provided crystalline properties indicating that the amorphous phase was observed up to $500^{\circ}C$. The electrical properties of a-0.5SZTO TFTs, such as the field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) of $24.31cm^2/Vs$, on current ($I_{ON}$) of $2.38{\times}10^{-4}A$, and subthreshold swing (S.S) of 0.59 V/decade improved with the thermal annealing treatment. This improvement was mainly due to the increased carrier concentration and decreased structural defects by rearranged atoms. However, when a-0.5SZTO TFTs were annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, a crystalline peak was observed. As a result, electrical properties degraded. ${\mu}_{FE}$ was $0.06cm^2/Vs$, $I_{ON}$ was $5.27{\times}10^{-7}A$, and S.S was 2.09 V/decade. This degradation of electrical properties was mainly due to increased interfacial and bulk trap densities of forming grain boundaries caused by the annealing treatment.
