A starch ball was devised to conveniently supply carbon source to indigenous microorganisms and to enhance biotransformation of explosive compounds(TNT and RDX) in the sediments of settling basins installed in military shooting ranges. To identify optimum dose/sediment ratio for degradation of explosives in the basin, a series of bench scale settling basin experiments were performed for 30 days while monitoring supernatant pH, DO, concentrations of nitrite, nitrate, sulfate, explosive compounds, and acute toxicity measured by bacterial luminescence. Addition of starch ball induced changes in oxidation conditions from oxic to anoxic in the benthic zone of the basin, which resulted in subsequent reductive degradation of both TNT and RDX in the liquid and solid phase of basin. However, fermentation products of excess starch, acetic acid and formic acid, caused acute toxicity in the liquid phase. The optimum ratio of starch ball/sediment for explosive compounds degradation by inducing changes in bio-geochemical environments without increase in acute toxicity, was found to be 0.009~0.017.

The purpose of this research was to examine the degradation rate of alizarin in accelerated degradation conditions using the GC-MS quantitative analysis. Alizarin dye solution (2.5 x 10/sup -3/ M conc.) were kept in 150℃ oven for total of 7 days and the degradation rate was examined each day. 2.5 × 10/sup -4/M conc. alizarin dye solution was mixed with H₂O₂ according to [H₂O₂]/[dye] ratio 40 and were kept under 365㎚ UV for 2 hours, analyzed after 0, 30, 60, 90, 120min using the GC-MS. Gas chromatogram showed alizarin peak at 9.96 - 10.13 min. retention time range and residual peaks in the wide range from 9.6 to 11.1 min. Oven degradation exhibited an initial decrease in the amount of alizarin, which was followed by increasing amount in 4/sup th/ day. The decrease in the alizarin was significantly shown by the 7/sup th/ day. Same pattern was also observed in the H₂O₂/UV/O₂ degradation samples and was verified ed by the UV-VIS spectra. The differences in the amount of alizarin between 1/sup st/ day and 4/sup th/ day samples, 4/sup th/ day and 7/sup th/ day samples, and Control and 7/sup th/ day samples of the oven degradation were significant at alpha .20.

We investigate the degradation pattern of Black phosphorus (BP) field effect transistor (FETs) investigated by using an mechanically exfoliated BP that react O2 and water vapor in ambient condition, degradation. The BP FETs was electrically measured every 20 minutes (1cycle) in the air, the total cycle is 100. We show electrical changes with Mobility, On/off ratio, Current and a significant positive shift in the threshold voltage. We extracted the current level at Vgs-Vth = 0, -10, -20 and fitting with Swiss-cheese model. This model suggested that Swiss-cheese model is well fitted with degradation pattern of BP FETs.

The degradation of 2-chlorophenol(2-CP) by various AOPs(Advanced Oxidation Processes) including the photo-Fenton process has been examined. In sole $Fe^{2+}$, UV or $H_2O_2$ process without combination, low removal efficiencies have been achieved. But the photo-Fenton process showed higher removal efficiency for degradation of 2-chlorophenol than those of other AOPs including the Fenton process and the UV processes. In the photo-Fenton process, the optimal experimental conditions of 2-chlorophenol degradation were obtained at pH 3 and the $Fe^{2+}/H_2O_2$molar ratio of 1. Also the 2-chlorophenol removal efficiency increased with decreasing of the initial 2-chlorophenol concentration. 3-chlorocatechol and chlorohydroquinone were identified as photo-Fenton reaction intermediates, and a degradation pathway of 2-chlorophenol in the aqueous phase during the photo-Fenton reaction was proposed.

The degradation process of silicone rubber was investigated by leakage current monitoring in Inclined-Plane method. DAS (Data Acquisition System) with 12-bit, 8-channel A/D converter was prepared. Average current, cumulative charge, current waveform and the number of peak pulses were measured on-line. And, FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analysis was performed with stored current waveform. Besides, maximum erosion depth was measured in order to use as the indicator of the degradation process. So, the results of leakage current components and maximum erosion depth measurements were compared to find one or more components which have trends of changing similarly to that of erosion process. The result suggests that the ratio of peak current to r.m.s. current, harmonic contents and the number of peak pulses are well corresponding with the degradation process.

Zinc nitrate hexahydrate [$Zn(NO_3){\cdot}6H_2O$] and sodium hydroxide [NaOH] were used as source reagents in the preparation of ZnO nanoparticles in an aqueous solution containing deionized water and ethanol in a ratio of 2:5 (v/v). ZnO nanoparticles were heated in an electric furnace at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under an atmosphere of inert argon gas. The morphological and structural properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD). UV-vis spectrophotometry was used to analyze the photocatalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles as photocatalyst under ultraviolet irradiation at 254 nm. Evaluation of the kinetic of the photo-catalytic degradation of 3-nitrophenol indicated that the degradation of 3-nitrophenol with ZnO nanoparticles obeyed the pseudo-first order reaction rate model.

This paper aims to investigate the seismic performance of RC short columns and long columns with welding stirrups. Through the low-cyclic horizontal loading test of specimens, the seismic performance indexes such as failure modes, hysteretic curve, skeleton curve, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation and strength degradation were emphatically analyzed. Furthermore, the effects of shear span ratio, stirrups ratio and axial compression ratio on the performance of specimens were studied. The results showed that the seismic performance of the RC short columns with welding stirrups were basically the same as that of the RC short columns with traditional stirrups, but the seismic performance of RC long columns with welding stirrups was better than that of RC long columns with traditional stirrups. The seismic performance of RC short columns and long columns with welding stirrups could be improved by increasing stirrup ratio and shear span ratio and reducing axial pressure ratio. Moreover, the welding stirrup have the advantages of steel saving, industrialization and standardization production, convenient construction, and reducing time, which indicated that the welding stirrups could be applied in practical engineering.

The purpose of this study is to compare the degradation characteristics by subcritical water of RDX contaminated soil using batch mode and dynamic mode devices. First, upon application of RDX contaminated soil, RDX treatment efficiency was increased with increasing the temperature in both modes. At 150℃, the treatment efficiency was 99.9%. RDX degradation efficiency got higher with lower ratio of solid to liquid. However, the treatment efficiency in the dynamic mode tended to be decreased at a certain ratio of solid to liquid or lower. The treatment efficiency was increased when it took longer time for the reactions in both modes. As the results of analysis on concentration of treated water after subcritical water degradation, the RDX recovery rate of dynamic and batch modes at 150℃ was 10.5% and 1.5%, respectively. However, both modes showed very similar recovery rates at 175℃ or higher. RDX degradation products were analyzed in treated water after it was treated with subcritical water. According to the results, RDX degradation mechanism was mostly oxidation reaction and reduction reaction was partially involved. Therefore, it suggested that most of RDX in soil was degraded by oxidation of subcritical water upon extraction. According to this result, it was found that both batch and dynamic modes were very effectively applied in the treatment of explosive contaminated soil.

Analyzing electrical degradation of polycrystalline silicon transistor to applicable at several environment is very important issue. In this research, after fabricating p channel poly crystalline silicon TFT (thin film transistor) electrical characteristics were compare and analized that changed by gate bias with first measurement. As a result on and off current was reduced by variation of gate bias and especially re duce ratio of off current was reduced by $7.1{\times}10^1$. On/off current ratio, threshold voltage and electron mobility increased. Also, when channel length gets shorter on/off current ratio was increased more and thresh old voltage increased less. It was cause due to electron trap and de-trap to gate silicon oxide by variation of gate bias.
