In the orthopedic field which firstly used zirconia as artificial joints, researchers had studied the reasons for collapsing zirconia used as restorative material by accumulated inner cracks in several years and they found out Low Temperature Degradation is one of the reasons. In the dentistry field, it has not been too long since they used zirconia as the cores of all-ceramic restoration; however, the study is needed as prophylactic measure against Low Temperature Degradation which can be caused by saliva wetting the mouth all the time and frictional forces such as bite pressure and masticatory pressure. Artificial aging by autoclaving is used because there are difficulties of testing in the patient's mouth. To study the changes in the material properties, the flexural strength of dental zirconia ceramic is measured before and after the test. The following are the result of the test. 1) The zirconia blocks in the autoclaves at $130^{\circ}C$ and $200^{\circ}C$ are phase-shifted tetragonal to monoclinic by Low Temperature Degradation. 2)The non-autoclaved specimens have the average fractural strength of 1346.4MPa, the specimens autoclaved at $130^{\circ}C$ have 1226.4Mpa and the specimens autoclaved at $200^{\circ}C$ have 1024.1MPa. The tests show that as the temperature increases, the flexural strength tend to decrease and the differences are noticeable(p<0.001). 3)Through the Duncan's post-hoc test, the differences in flexural strength of the 3 groups were listed in order of strength like normal temperature>at $130^{\circ}C$ autoclave low temperature degradation> at $200^{\circ}C$ autoclave low temperature degradation.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to find out physical properties and the flexural strength changed by the low temperature degradation of the block which is needed to make bio-prosthetic dentistry which is better than feldspar affiliated ceramic made by building up ceramic powder and also to apply this to the clinical use of zirconia monolithic all-ceramic crown. Methods: Flexural strength of each sample was evaluated before and after the Low Temperature Degradation, and physical properties of the Tetra Zirconia Block containing 3mol % was evaluated as well. The average and standard deviation of each experimental group were came out of the evaluation. Statistical package for social science 18.0 was used for statistics. Results: The average density of the monolithic all-ceramic crown was $6.0280{\pm}0.0147g/cm$, the relative density was 99.01 %. When the sample was sintered at $1480^{\circ}C$ the diameter of average particle was $396.62{\pm}33.71nm$. All the samples had no monolithic peak after XRD evaluation but only had tetragonal peak. There were statistically significant differences in the result of flexural strength of the samples evaluated after and before the low temperature degradation, the flexural strength before the low temperature degradation was $1747.40{\ss}{\acute{A}}$, at the temperature of $130^{\circ}C$ the flexural strength after the low temperature degradation was 1063.99MPa (p<0.001). There was statistically significant difference in the result of strength of 1020.07MPa after the low temperature degradation at the temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ (p<0.001). Conclusion: The block which was made for this evaluation possesses such an excellent strength among dental restorative materials that it is thought to have no problems to use for tetragonal zirconia polycrystal.

산소포논(phonon)이 Yttiria안정화 정방정 지르코니아 소결체(Yttria Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Po-lycrystals, Y-TZP)의 저온열화에 큰 영향을 미치는 사실을 실험적으로 밝혔다. Y-TZP의 저온열화 (정방정$\longrightarrow$단사정 상전이) 현상은 Y-TZP의 16O을 18O으로 치환함으로써 급격히 저하되었다. 이는 16O이 보다 무거운 18O으로 치환됨에 따라 임계변위 이상에서 산소원자가 존재할 확률이 감소하는 데 기인하는 것으로 설명하였다.

In order to investigate the characteristics of top ring groove deposit formation in diesel engine, engine test and simulation test were performed. From component analysis of used oils sampled from actual running engines, soot content in engine oil was selected as a main parameter for evaluating oil degradation. Deposit formation is highly related to soot content in lubricating oils. And high soot content oil accelerates deposit formation even in low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$. In low temperature region below 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is mainly affected by top ring groove temperature. However, in high temperature region above 26$0^{\circ}C$, deposit formation rate is affected by soot content as well as top ring groove temperature. Therefore, soot content as well as top ring groove temperature should be kept a certain level in order to prevent troubles due to carbon deposit formation.

Ceramic femoral heads in the total hip replacement have been developed to reduce the polyethylene liner wear. Alumina and zirconia (3Y-TZP) are using in clinical application worldwide and there are many good test reports. However, alumina has a risk of catastrophic failure, and zirconia has the low temperature degradation in spite of enhanced fracture toughness. Recently, novel zirconia/alumina composite having low temperature degradation-free character and high fracture tough . was developed and it leads the lower wear 3f polyethylene than alumina and zirconia. In the present study, in order to optimise the microstructure of low temperature degradation (LTD)-free zirconia/alumina composite for the best wear resistance of polyethylene, various compositions of (LTD)-free zirconia/alumina composites were fabricated, and the sliding wear of UHMWPE against these novel composites were examined and compared with that against alumina and zirconia ceramics used for total hip joint heads.

In this paper, we analyze the impact of plasma etching process induced device degradation on low temperature poly-Si TFTs. The results indicate the relationship between device degradation and PPID effect during plasma fabrication. The dual-gate structure, which is used to suppress leakage current, is also discussed in this research.

The oxidative degradation of BPA with laccase from Trametes versiclor was conducted in a closed, temperature controlled system containing acetate buffer for pH control. The effects of medium pH, buffer concentration, temperature and mediator on degradation of BPA were investigated. The inactivation of the enzyme by temperature and reaction product was also studied. The optimal pH for BPA degradation showed about 5. Buffer concentration did not affect BPA degradation. On the other hand, the enzyme stability was higher at low concentration buffer(25 mM). Temperature rise increased the degradation rate of BPA up to 45$^{\circ}C$. The valuable mediator of laccase for BPA was ABTS. Elevated temperature and reaction product irreversibly inactivated the enzyme.

The effects of CaO addition on the low temperature degradation behavior of 2.5Y-TZP ceramics were investigated. Y2O3-CaO-ZrO2 ceramics were prepared from the commercial Y-TZP powder added within 1 mol% of CaO. Fully tetragonal phase could be obtained at each composition under sintering condition of 1500$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. As the amount of CaO increased, grain size was decreased. From the result of heat treatment at 200$^{\circ}C$, volume fraction of monoclinic phase formed on the surface of each specimen was decreased with higher CaO amount. Stability of tetragonal ZrO2 phase for low temperature heat treatment was increased by CaO addition without the degradation of mechanical properties.

Cold environments, including polar and alpine regions, are colonized by a wide diversity of micro-organisms able to thrive at low temperatures. There is evidence of a wide range of metabolic activities in alpine cold ecosystems. Like polar microorganisms, alpine microorganisms playa key ecological role in their natural habitats for nutrient cycling, litter degradation, and many other processes. A number of studies have demonstrated the capacity of alpine microorganisms to degrade efficiently a wide range of hydrocarbons, including phenol, phenol-related compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons, and the feasibility of low-temperature bioremediation of European alpine soils by stimulating the degradation capacity of indigenous microorganisms has also been shown.

본 연구에서는 상용운전 중에 있는 반연속식 로터리 킬른형 열분해반응기에 지자체에서 발생되는 필름형 혼합 폐플라스틱을 투입한 후 열분해하여 얻은 저급의 열분해유를 세 형태의 반응온도 프로그램에서 분해반응시키고, 여기에서 얻어지는 생성유의 특성을 논의하였다. 원료인 저급 열분해유의 특성은 원소분석 및 발열량 분석, SIMDIST 분석으로 확인하였고, 각 반응온도 프로그램에 따른 분해반응 결과는 각 성분의 수율분포, 액상 생성물의 누적수율과 생성비 등으로 논의하였다. 연구결과는 한 단계 반응온도 프로그램에 비해 다단계 반응온도 프로그램의 경우가 원하는 생성물인 오일수율이 높았고, 상대적으로 잔류물의 수율은 낮게 나타났다. 연속적인 열분해반응에서 반응온도 프로그램은 생성물의 수율분포 등 생성유 특성에 많은 영향을 주었다.
