In order to examine the in-reactor performance of very-high-density dispersion fuels for high flux performance research reactors, U-l0wt.%Mo microplates containing centrifugally atomized powder were irradiated at low temperature. The U-l0wt.%Mo dispersion fuels show stable in- reactor irradiation behaviors even at high burn-up, similar to U$_3$Si$_2$ dispersion fuels. The atomized U-l0wt.%Mo fuel particles have a fine and a relatively uniform fission gas bubble size distribution. Moreover, only one of third of the area of the atomized fuel cross-sections at 70a1.% burn-up shows fission gas bubble-free zones, This appears to be the result of segregation into high Mo and low Mo.

The low NOx characteristics have been investigated to develop the combustor for micro turbine. The lean premixed combustion technology was applied to reduce the NOx emission. The test was conducted at the condition of high temperature and ambient pressure. The combustion air which has the temperature of $450\sim650K$ were supplied to the combustor through the air preheater. The temperature and emissions of NOx and CO were measured at the exit of combustor, The exit temperature and NOx were increased and CO was decreased with increasing inlet air temperature. The premixing chamber can be operated very lean condition of equivalence ratio around 0.35. The NOx was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ratio. The CO was decreased with decreasing the equivalence ratio, but the CO was increased with decreasing the equivalence ratio below 0.4. But, at the very lean condition of equivalence ratio below 0.35 both NOx and CO were increased because of the flame unstability. The NOx was decreased and CO was increased with increasing inlet air flowrate. This results can be used to determine the size of combustor. Consequently the performance of combustor shows the possibility of the application to the gas turbine system.

Electromagnetic actuators are versatile and able to meet demanding requirements, such as operation in very low or very high temperatures. When the actuator is used in a high-temperature environment up to $500^{\circ}C$, we need to know how the force-producing capability of the actuator is affected by the operating temperature. Specifically, it is necessary to know the temperature-dependence of magnetic properties that determine the mechanical forces. In this paper, we measure the changes in magnetic properties of SUS410 material in high-temperature environment. We also devise a novel signal processing technique to remove the integration drift. At the field strength of 18,000 A/m, we found that the flux density at $500^{\circ}C$ is decreased by 26%, compared to the result at room temperature. Therefore, the actuator must be sized appropriately, if it is to operate in high-temperature settings.

Metal(Zinc) soap and mixed metal(Zn/Ba) soap were synthesized with good structures and characterized by IR and H-NMR. The H-NMR spectrums of the synthesized soaps were in very good accordance with the structures proposed by earlier workers. The mixed metal soaps with various costabilizers(acid or metal content effect), which added in order to investigate the thermal stabilization effect at low and high temperature, were investigated the thermal stabilization effect. The temperature effect is relation to the metal content effect than acid effect. In case of mixed metal soap, the high thermal stabilization effect improved with increasing Barium content. As the Zinc content increase the low temperature thermal stabilization effect improved, but the high temperature thermal stabilization effect showed an opposite tendency.

We have investigated low temperature sintering characteristics of organic Ag complex. Organic Ag complex was coated on the glass substrate by spin coating method. The coated Ag complex was sintered in an air atmosphere. The sintering temperature was varied from 100 to $300^{\circ}C$ and sintering time was varied from 1 to 4 min. The thickness of the coated film was significantly decreased as the film was sintered at the temperature between 110 and $120^{\circ}C$. The sintered Ag film at temperature higher than $115^{\circ}C$ shows very low sheet resistance less than 1 ${\Omega}{/\square}$.

The sudden drop of water temperature in winter is very threatening factor that affects the productivity of farmed fish and the management in aquafarm. In this study, we investigated the effect of low temperature on the survival, oxygen consumption and stress responses of parrotfish Oplegnathus fasciatus due to acute drop of water temperature. The survival rate of parrotfish Oplegnathus fasciatus was 5% at 6℃, 95% at 8℃ and 100% at 10℃ on the 4^th day of exposure in each experimental temperature. Low-lethal temperature for 4days of parrotfish Oplegnathus fasciatus (4 day-LT₅₀) was 6.99℃ (confidence limit, 6.55-7.42℃). Oxygen consumption rate was significantly decreased with decreasing water temperature. Temperature coefficient (Q₁₀) was found to be 4.0 between 10℃ and 8℃ and 0.39 between 8℃ and 6℃. As a result of investigating the stress response according to the drop in water temperature, the concentration of SOD (Superoxide dismutase), cortisol, glucose, total Ig, AST (Aspartate) and ALT (Alanine aminotransferase) increased with decreasing of water temperature. This study would be useful for the management of temperature about cultured fish.

Plasma hardly grows in low pressure because of lack of collision. Especially, in extremely low pressure like 1 mTorr, the experiment scale is far larger than mean free path therefore plasma is hardly generated in such low pressure. But low pressure plasma has useful properties like low damage or fine sputtering process because it has typically low electron density. In here, thermal electron is used to make breakdown in low pressure easily and cylindrical geometry is used to help discharge easily. And we changed magnetic field strength to control electron density or temperature. In low pressure, density and temperature behavior is very interesting so its characteristics are examined here.

The City of Boulder is located at an average elevation of 1,655 m (5,430 feet), the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Its daily air temperature is much varying and snow is very frequent and heavy even in spring. This paper examines characteristics of shallow (surface and depth = 10 cm) soil temperatures measured from January to May 2015 in the high elevation city Boulder, Colorado. The surface soil temperature quickly responded to the air temperature with the strongest periodicity of 1 day while the subsurface soil temperatures showed a less correlation and delayed response with that. The short-time Fourier of the soil temperatures uncovered their very low frequencies characteristics in heavy snow days while it revealed high frequencies of their variations in warm spring season. The daily minimum air temperature exhibited high cross-correlations with the soil temperatures without lags unlike the maximum air temperature, which is derived from its higher and longer auto-correlation and stronger spectrums of low frequencies than the maximum air temperature. The snow depth showed an inverse relationship with the soil temperature variations due to snow's low thermal conductivity and high albedo. Multiple regression for the soil temperatures using the air temperature and snow depth presented its predicting possibility of them even though the multiple r² of the regression is not that much satisfactory (r² = 0.35-0.64).

Recent work with phosphate esters has shown that a lubricious polymeric film can formed from the vapor phase on interacting during and sliding. This lubrication technique has led to methods to reduce friction and wear to very low values at high temperatures up to 700$^{\circ}$C. Preliminary with synthetic tri aryl phosphates are very promising. The vaporized lubricant forms a polymeric film on the sliding and rolling surfaces reducing the coefficient of friction below 0.05. In-situ formation of the polymeric films shows that the polymer that is formed on the surface exists in different states depending on surface temperature.

The fluorinated amorphous carbon thin films (a-C:F) were deposited by PECVD(plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition). The precursors were $C_{4}F_{8}$ which had a similar ratio of target film's carbon to fluorine ratio, and $Si_{2}H_{6}$/He for capturing excessive fluorine ion. We varied deposition condition of temperature and working pressure to survey the effect of each changes. We measured dielectric constant, composition, and etc. At low temperature the film adhesion to substrate was very poor although the growth rate was very high, the growth rate was very low at high temperature. The EDS(energy dispersive spectroscopy) result showed carbon and fluorine peak for films and Si peak for substrate. There was no oxygen peak.
