The growth of two phytoplanktons was studied in a natural environment and in the laboratory under artificial radiation conditions in the presence or absence of UV radiation. The effect of an elevated temperature on the two phytoplanktons was also examined. UV radiation resulted in a decrease in the growth of the two phytoplanktons ; P. micans was more affected by UV than S. costatum. Four hours of UV radiation decreased the motility of S. costatum and P. micans by 20% and 40%, respectively. Accordingly, an elevated temperature and UV radiation decreased the growth rate of the two phytoplanktons investigated.

Winter mushroom, Flammulina velutipes, needs low temperature during its cultivation. To save on farm costs, especially during summer, a strain adaptable to a higher or elevated-temperature must be developed. At the start of breeding program, parental strains which could endure high temperature were obtained. Seuenty four dikaryotic strains were collected and divided into four groups according to the nature of temperature. They also had different fruiting temperature. Finally we selected three brown strains ASI 4048, 4057 and 4072, and collected their spores. These selected strains can germinate even at a high temperature of $32^{\circ}C$, which were dramatically higher than the other strains. Based on these results, the new white strain adapted to mid-temperature by backcross mating was developed. Molecular markers were applied to select white fruitbody producing strains without cultivation. They showed a specific band which co-segregated with brown fruitbody forming strains in $BC_1F_1$ progenies. Selected white strains were tested under several elevated temperature conditions.

A compacted bentonite buffer is a major component of engineered barrier systems, which are designed for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. In most countries, the target temperature required to maintain safe functioning is below 100℃. If the target temperature of the compacted bentonite buffer can be increased above 100℃, the disposal area can be dramatically reduced. To increase the target temperature of the buffer, it is necessary to investigate its properties at temperatures above 100℃. Although some studies have investigated thermal-hydraulic properties above 100℃, few have evaluated the water suction of compacted bentonite. This study addresses that knowledge gap by evaluating the water suction variation for compacted Korean bentonite in the 25-150℃ range, with initial saturations of 0 and 0.22 under constant saturation conditions. We found that water suction decreased by 5-20% for a temperature increase of 100-150℃.

Decrease of performance degradation of High Strength Concrete occurs more than that of normal strength concrete at elevated temperature. Therefore, when it comes to evaluating performance of structures, strain of concrete subjected to elevated temperature and loading are important items. In this study, creep strain of High Strength Concrete sunjected to various temperature conditions and 33% loading was evaluated. As a result, creep strain increased with increase of temperature and loading. Creep strain of concrete at high temperature is influenced by loading.

Finite Element analysis is widely applied to elevated temperature forging processes and shows a lot of information of plastic deformation such as strain, stress, defects, damages and temperature distributions. In highly elevated temperature deformation processes, temperature of material and tool have significant influence on tool life, deformation conditions and productivities. To predict temperature related properties accurately, adequate coefficients of not only contact heat transfer between material and dies but also convection heat transfer due to coolants are required. In most F.E analysis, too higher value of contact heat transfer coefficient is usually applied to get acceptable temperature distribution of tool. For contact heat transfer coefficients between die and workpiece, accurate values were evaluated with different pressure and lubricants conditions. But convection heat transfer coefficients have not been investigated for forging lubricants. In this research, convection heat transfer coefficients for cooling by emulsion lubricants are suggested by experiment and Inverse method. To verify acquired convection and contact heat transfer coefficients, tool temperature was measured for the comparison between measured tool temperature and analysis results. To increase analysis accuracy, repeated analysis scheme was applied till temperature of the tool got to be in the steady-state conditions. Verification of heat transfer coefficients both contact and convection heat transfer coefficients was proven with good accordance between measurement and analysis.

In order to increase the load carrying capacity and/or increase the service life of existing circular reinforced concrete bridge columns, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites could be utilized. Transverse wrapping of circular concrete columns with CFRP sheets increases its axial and shear strengths. In addition, it provides good confinement to the concrete column core, which enhances the bending and compressive strength, as well as, ductility. Several experimental and analytical studies have been conducted on CFRP strengthened concrete cylinders/columns. However, there seem to be lack of thorough investigation of the effect of elevated temperatures on the response of CFRP strengthened circular concrete columns. A concrete confinement model that reflects the effects of elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of CFRP composites, and the efficiency of CFRP in strengthened concrete columns is presented. Tensile strength and modulus of CFRP under hot conditions and their effects on the concrete confinement are the primary parameters that were investigated. A modified concrete confinement model is developed and presented.

Worldwide growth in hydrocarbon and energy demand is driving the oil and gas companies to drill more wells in complex situations such as areas with high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. As a result, in recent years the number of wells in these conditions have been increased significantly. Wellbore instability is one of the main issues during the drilling operation especially for directional and horizontal wells. Many researchers have studied the wellbore stability in complex situations and developed mathematical models to mitigate the instability problems before drilling operation. In this work, a fully coupled thermoporoelastic model is developed to study the well stability in high-pressure, high-temperature conditions. The results show that the performance of the model is highly dependent on the truly evaluated rock mechanical properties. It is noted that the rock mechanical properties should be evaluated at elevated pressures and temperatures. However, in many works, this is skipped and the mechanical properties, which are evaluated at room conditions, are entered into the model. Therefore, an accurate stability analysis of high-pressure, high-temperature wells is achieved by measuring the rock mechanical properties at elevated pressures and temperatures, as the difference between the model outputs is significant.

The electrolyte plays one of the most significant roles in the performance of electrochemical supercapacitors. Most liquid organic electrolytes used commercially have temperature and potential range constraints, which limit the possible energy and power output of the supercapacitor. The effect of elevated temperature on a lithium bis(oxalate)borate(LiBOB) salt-based electrolyte was evaluated in a symmetric supercapacitor assembled with activated carbon electrodes and different electrolyte blends of acetonitrile(ACN) and propylene carbonate(PC). The electrochemical properties were investigated using linear sweep voltammetry, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycles, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In particular, it was shown that LiBOB is stable at an operational temperature of $80^{\circ}C$, and that, blending the solvents helps to improve the overall performance of the supercapacitor. The cells retained about 81% of the initial specific capacitance after 1000 galvanic cycles in the potential range of 0-2.5 V. Thus, LiBOB/ACN:PC electrolytes exhibit a promising role in supercapacitor applications under elevated temperature conditions.

Titanium nitride(TiN) has been synthesized by nitrogen ion irradiation onto the Ti thin film deposited on STD11 and SKH9 tool materials. The effect of irradiation flux and substrate temperature on the formation behavior and mechanical properaties of TiN were investigated through X-ray diffraction analysis, hardness and pin-on-disc wear testings. Nitrogen ion irradiation onto arc evaporated Ti thin film produced TiN of < 200> orientation at elevated temperature and thereby enhancing surface microhardness by 50% at maximum. Wear resistance was also improved by nitrogen irradiation at most process conditions. The enhancement of wear resistance appeared to be more effective for the nitrogen irradiated conditions at room temperature than at elevated temperature.
