The objective of this study was to analyze effects of aging time on property degradation of super austenitic stainless steel of PRE 52.8 and super duplex stainless steel of PRE 48.7. To analyze corrosion properties based on aging time, a critical pitting temperature test was performed in a solution of 6% FeCl₃ + 1% HCl and an anodic polarization test was performed in deaerated 0.5N HCl + 1N NaCl solution at a temperature of 50 ℃. Surface hardness was measured to analyze mechanical properties. It was found that corrosion properties and mechanical properties deteriorated rapidly as aging time increased. Critical pitting temperature had the most effect on critical aging time at which property changes occurred rapidly, followed by pitting potential and hardness. This trend was found to be closely related to the fraction of sigma phase. Rate of sigma phase formation was found to be significantly faster in duplex stainless steel than in austenitic stainless steel.

The polariscope to measure the microscopic stress in CR lens consists of light source polarizer, model, polarizer, CCD, computer, chrome conversion orderly and the principal-stressed difference, (${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$) and the fringe order n were measured by analyzing two components of light wave $E_1$ and $E_2$ following each polarizer's steps. The two-dimensional model could be determined from the fact that the optical axes of sample concide with the principal-stress directions. The bi-refringence acted to a light wave and the phase retardation were in proportion to the principal-stressed difference(${\sigma}_1-{\sigma}_2$) and the intensity of final light wave was proportioned to $sin2({\Delta}/2)$ and when ${\Delta}/2=n{\pi}$ (n=0, 1, 2, ${\ldots}$) the extinction occurs. Photoelastic's image by microscopic stress could analyzed using chrome conversion, and the image showed clearly.

The Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) genome contains six operons (rrnA to F) for ribosomal RNA synthesis. Transcription from rrnD occurs from four promoters (p1 to p4). We found that transcripts from the p1 and p3 promoters were most abundant in vivo in the early exponential phase. However, at later phases of exponential and stationary growth, transcripts from the p1 promoter decreased drastically, with the p3 and p4 transcripts constituting the major forms. Partially purified RNA polymerase supported transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, whereas pure reconstituted RNA polymerase with core enzyme (E) and the major vegetative sigma factor ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$) did not. In order to assess any potential requirement for additional factor(s) that allow transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, we fractionated a partially purified RNA polymerase preparation by denaturing gel filtration chromatography. We found that transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters required factor(s) of about 30-35 kDa in addition to RNAP holoenzyme ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$). Therefore, transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, which contain a consensus -10 region but no -35 for ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ recognition, are likely to be regulated by transcription factor(s) that modulate RNA polymerase holoenzyme activity in S. coelicolor.

Microstructural evolution of Pt-aluminide coated Ni-based superalloy has been investigated with ductilization heat treatment. The Pt coat was prepared on the superalloy and then aluminide coating was conducted using a pack cementation process. Samples were heat-treated at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and the microstructure and element analysis were preformed. A various precipitated compounds were observed within the coating layer and the diffusion region in the Pt-aluminide coating and heat treatment, indicating that the bi-phase compounds of $PtAl_2$ and NiAl were performed during the Pt-aluminide coating, whereas $M_{23}C_6$, MC, $Ni_3Al$ and ${\sigma}$ phases were precipitated in the inter-diffusion region. The bi-phase compounds of $PtAl_2$ and NiAl were transformed into the single phase compound of $PtAl_2$ with the heat treatment, increasing the amount of carbide and ${\sigma}$ phase.

OFDM system is an excellent high speed transmission method but it is seriously sensitive to the phase noise and IQ imbalance. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the communication performance of the OFDM communication system with IQ imbalance and phase noise. Phase noise's variance can be calculated by integral calculus of phase noise power spectrum. From simulation results, it can be shown that the BER performances show different change according to the phase noise variance and IQ imbalance amount. When amplitude imbalance is ${\varepsilon}$=0.2; 0.3; 0.4 and phase imbalance is ${\phi}=10^0$, and distribution of phase noise is ${\sigma}^2=0.012$, BER is degraded by 2.88 dB, 3.61 dB, 4.09 dB in $10^{-5}$ in the respect of the SNR penalty.

The duplex stainless clad vessel with 38m & over thickness shall be performed to PWHT based on the ASME code. In this case, it is well-known that precipitators such as carbides and sigma($\sigma$) phase are formed at gram boundary between ferrite and austenite phase. Therefore, a weld test for simulating this situation has been planned and performed by 3309LMo71-1 for barrier layer and E2209Tl-1 for 2nd & over layer and then carried out to investigate the overlaid weld metal. Based on the test results, it could be concluded that PWHT should be carried out after the completion of 1st(barrier) layer and then 2 & over layer should be applied.

The microstructural evolution in a 304 stainless steel weld during FSW was examined. The SZ and TMAZ showed typical dynamically recrystallized and recovered microstructures, respectively, The microstructural observation revealed that sigma phase was formed at the advancing side of the stir zone. A possibility was suggested that the rapid formation of the sigma phase is related to the transformation of austenite to delta-ferrite in the stir zone, from introduction of high strain and dynamic recrystallization during FSW.

Rapid and high-precision positioning with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is feasible only when very precise carrier-phase observations can be used. There are two kinds of mathematical models for ambiguity resolution. The first one is based on both pseudorange and carrier phase measurements, and the observation equations are of full rank. The second one is only based on carrier phase measurement, which is a rank-defect model. Though the former is more commonly used, the latter has its own advantage, that is, ambiguity resolution will be freed from the effects of pseudorange multipath. Galileo will be operational. One of the important differences between Galileo and current GPS is that Galileo will provide signals in four frequency bands. With more carrier-phase data available, frequency combinations with long equivalent wavelength can be formed, so Galileo will provide more opportunities for fast and reliable ambiguity resolution than current GPS. This paper tries to investigate phase only fast ambiguity resolution performance with four Galileo frequencies for short baseline. Cascading Ambiguity Resolution (CAR) method with selected optimal frequency combinations and LAMBDA method are used and compared. To validate the resolution, two tests are used and compared. The first one is a ratio test. The second one is lower bound success-rate test. The simulation test results show that, with LAMBDA method, whether with ratio test or lower bound success rate validation criteria, ambiguity can be fixed in several seconds, 8 seconds at most even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 12 mm. While with CAR method, at least about half minute is required even when 1 sigma of carrier phase noise is 3 mm. It shows that LAMBDA method performs obviously better than CAR method.

The grain growth is very important because of its great influence on the various materials properties. Therefore, in this study, the effects of anisotropic grain boundary energy on grain growth in 2-D have been investigated with a large scale phase field simulation model on PC. A $2000{\times}2000$ grid system and the initial number of grains of about 73,000 were used in the computer simulation. The anisotropic ratio of grain boundary energy, ${\sigma}_{max}/{\sigma}_{min}$, has been varied from 1 to 3. As the anisotropy increased, the grain growth exponent, n, increased from 2.05 to 2.37. The grain size distribution showed a central plateau in the isotropic case, and was changed into no central plateau and the increasing population of very small grains in the anisotropic case, resulting from slowly disappearing grains. Finally, simulated microstructures were compared according to anisotropy.
