Unforeseen failures of boilers in power plants may affect the continuation of electricity generation. Main failures in boilers are influenced by the tube material, tube position, boiler service temperature and pressure, and chemical composition of the feed water and coal. This investigation was intended to find answers on the causes and mechanism of failure of the fire-side boiler water-wall tubes, due to perforation and corrosion. The tube conformed to the material requirements in terms of its chemical composition and hardness. Microscopic examination showed ferrite and pearlite indicating no changes in its microstructure due to the temperature variation. SEM test showed a single layer and homogenous film density particularly on the area far from perforation. However, layers of corrosion product were formed on the nearby perforation area. EDX showed that there were Na, Ca, S, and O elements on the failed surface. XRD indicated the presence of Fe₂O₃ oxide. The failure mechanism was identified as a result of significant localized wall thinning of the boiler water wall-tube due to oxidation.

Congenital cystic disease of the lung is very rare and controversial disease. But in general is regarded as developmental anomaly. Occasionally failure of the primitive lung bud to develop combined with cardiac anomaly had been reported but it was very rare. Recently a case of cystic lung disease combined with pulmonic valvular stenosis was seen in this clinic with clinical pictures of nonspecific respiratory infection and X-ray finding very similar to that of far advanced pulmonary tuberculosis, destroyed left lung. This case was treated by closed pulmonic valvulotomy and left side pneumonectomy successfully.

This Paper presents the technical perspective on the Real Time Pricing(RTP). So far customer has no control on the electricity pricing. But the price hike in California makes changes in the electricity demand and pricing. In such environments. RTP has become an important role in Demand Side Management. Here the system configuration, advantages of RTP are described. Also the relationship between RTP and AMR is considered.

Exploitation of the ocean's deep water has brought humanity a wealth of treasures for centuries. Even so, it can confidently be forecast that the Ocean will be far more important to future generations than it has ever been in the past. Although many researchers endeavor to explore oceans, the ocean holds the crucial elements for maintaining a growing industrialized population in search of raw materials. This requires careful study and selection of innovations that will provide future generations and raw materials with an unlimited renewable and non-pollution energy and raw materials source with advantageous side benefits.

The effects of anthryl derivatives and 9-aminoacridine on the thermal melting profile of a poly(dA)[poly(dT)]₂triplex were compared 9-Aminoacridine stabilizes the triplex far more effectively than anthryl derivatives. The absorption and CD and LD spectroscopic characteristics of anthryl derivatives are similar to those of 9-aminoacridine when complexed with the triplex; the N atom of acridine, which can act as a hydrogen bond acceptor, plays an important role in triplex stabilization.

The Characteristics of the flowfield around two circular cylinders in tandem arrangement was investigated by PIV. Strouhal numbers. velocity vectors and velocity profiles were observed at centre-to-centre space ratios of P/D= 1.5. 2.0 and 2.5, and Reynolds number of $Re=3.0{\times}10^3{\sim}5.0{\times}10^3$. As the results the Strouhal numbers measured in the rear region of the cylinder of wake side were decreased with the space ratios. The flow between two cylinders was almost stagnated and the size of the stagnated region was larger in the close side than in the far side of the front cylinder. The direction of vortex between two cylinders was opposed each other with the small difference(${\alpha}\;{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$) of the attack angle ${\alpha}$.

This study is intended to investigate the geotechnical behavior of jointed mass on tunnel excavation experimentally. Laboratory test were conducted in various conditions of distance from joint to tunnel and in-situ stress ratio ($K_0$). In case, the ground around the tunnel that has the joint angle $90^{\circ}$ generate the greatest influence in crown and far shoulder from joint. If the in-situ stress ratio is low, tangential stress of side wall that is opposite side of the joint is increased more than in crown. Otherwise in case, joint angle $45^{\circ}$, the generated compress stress is found out that left side of the tunnel of near the joint has influence on stability of the tunnel about 3 times than non-jointed rock.

For the purpose of designing more successful cancer research, the strategy for cancer study in the field of Traditional Korean Medicine(TKM) during the 21th century was examined from the analysis of trends on cancer study in traditional korean medicine. The results were summarized as follows: 1. So far cancer research in TKM was chiefly done on cytotoxicity, side-effects by chemotherapy, tumor immunology, apoptosis, survival time with S-180 and pulmonary colonization assay and also clonogenic assay, cell adhesion assay, angiogenesis, cell-differentiation and side-effect by radiotherapy were partly performed. 2. It may be ideal that we should study synergistic effect between constituent drugs of prescriptions, tumor immunology, combined therapy between western and oriental medicines by reducing side-effect by radiotherapy and chemotherapy and antimetastasis according to the characteristics of oriental medicine chiefly and also supplement the studies on molecular biology, gene therapy, angiogensis and signal transduction. 3. We had better do specific-field research in cooperation between oriental medical colleges and Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine(KIOM) as well as study a target cancers such as hepatic cancer, pulmonary cancer and gastric cancer more intensively than all cancers domestically. 4. Our country must keep communication with China having many clinical data, Taiwan chiefly doing the combined tharapy between oriental and western medicines, Japan having done basic study actively on cancer.

The microchannel heat sink is promising heat dissipation method far high density electronic devices. The cross-sectional shape of MEMS based microchannel heat sink is limited to triangular, trapezoidal, and rectangular due to their fabrication method. And heat is added to one side surface of heat source. Therefore, those specific conditions make some complexity of heat transfer in microchannel heat sink. Though many previous research of conjugate heat transfer in microchannel was conducted, most of them did not consider heat loss. In this study, numerical investigation of conjugate heat transfer in rectangular microchannel was conducted. The method of heat loss evaluation was verified numerically. Heat distribution was different for each wall of rectangular microchannel due to thermal conductivity and distance from heat source. However, the ratio of heat from each channel wall was correlated. Therefore, the effective area correction factor could be proposed to evaluate accurate heat flux in one side heating condition.

This paper has investigated the susceptibility of an FPGA implementation of a block cipher against side channel analysis attacks. We have performed DPA attacks and DEMA attacks (in the nea. and far field) on an FPGA implementation of ARIA which has been implemented into two architectures of S-box. Although the number of needed traces for a successful attack is increased when compared with existing results on smart cards, we have shown that ARIA without countermeasures is indeed very susceptible to side channel analysis attacks regardless of an architecture of S-box.
