α-FeOOH nanorods were fabricated via a one-step hydrothermal approach using iron nitrate hydrate (Fe(NO3)3·9H2O) as iron source, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a template and acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution as solvent. XRD, SEM, TEM, and TGA were applied to characterize the samples. The as-prepared α-FeOOH nanorods are around 50 nm in diameters and 1 µm in length. The aspect ratio is 20. The XRD and TEM results indicated that both CTAB and CH3COOH were crucial for the formation of α-FeOOH nanorods. The heat treatment at the temperature of 250°C led to the transformation of α-FeOOH to α-Fe2O3, and the crystal phase transformation was completed at 340°C. The lower transformation temperature compared to bulk α-FeOOH could be attributed to the decreased size of the as-prepared sample.

Using oligonucleotide-mediated ‘loop-in’ mutagenesis strategies in M13, a heat-inducible ubiquitin (Ub) gene was extended by sequences coding for the C-terminal 11 amino acids of Ha-RAS. The resulting gene was transformed into AR13 and production of the Ub-peptide extension was induced by heat treatment. After one-step purification, the fusion protein (Ub-cRAS) was used as a substrate for farnesyl-protein transferase. Ub-cRAS was farnesylated on incubation in Xenopus egg extract or rabbit reticulocyte lysate. In contrast, when serine was substituted for the last cysteine in the RAS extension, transfer of the [3H]farnesyl group from [3H] farnesyl pyrophosphate to the modified Ub-cRAS was not observed. Farnesylation of Ub-cRAS permitted us to develop an easy membrane-binding assay for farnesyl-protein transferase enzyme activity. Using this assay, we partially purified the enzyme from rabbit reticulocyte lysate. We also detected methylation of the farnesylated Ub-cRAS terminus in Xenopus egg extract.

Creep properties of one-step and two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O cladding tubes were studied. Creep tests were carried out at 450~500 °C with the applied stress between 80MPa and 120MPa The creep rates of the two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O alloy were found to be slower than those of the one-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O alloy. The creep rate decreased with increase of grain size with annealing for Zr-1Nb-0.12O at intermediate temperatures, suggesting the creep resistance can be enhanced by the grain size control. The creep life of two-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O increased over the one-step annealed Zr-1Nb-0.12O by the factor of 18~20 despite the greater initial instantaneous strain.

The effect of aging heat treatment conditions on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the base and weld metal of Alloy 282 superalloy was investigated. The aging heat treatment conditions employed in this study were as follows: two-steps (1010 °C for 2 hours plus 788 °C for 8 hours) and one-step at 788 °C, 738 °C, and 688 °C for 4 hours. The base metal with the one-step aged condition exhibited lower hardness but longer creep life than that treated with the two-step aged condition. The base metal subjected to the two-step aging exhibited the highest hardness and the shortest creep life, mainly due to the precipitation of Mo-rich M6C-type carbides and coarse <i>γ</i>' (Ni3(Al,Ti)) phase. For the weld metal, regardless of aging heat treatment conditions, creep elongation and life decreased significantly compared to the base metal, due to the coarse effective grain size and inhomogeneous distribution of <i>γ</i>' precipitates.

The effects of different precursor salts, stabilizing agents, and heat treatment parameters are already known to have an influence on the synthesis of nano-sized semiconductors in heterogenous photocatalysis. In the present work, CuxS materials were prepared by using different precursors (copper (II) chloride dihydrate or copper (II) acetate monohydrate) and shape tailoring/stabilizing agents, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid/polyvinylpyrrolidone, and thiourea as the sulfur source. The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) kinetically controlled the growth rate of the nanoplates, while ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) adjusted the nucleation process through the complexation of copper. A one-step hydrothermal method was used for the synthesis, and the materials were characterized by means of morphological and structural complementary investigation methods. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity and photocatalytic activity were also measured for these materials. It was found that the vacancy sites formed by changing the precursor salt, as confirmed by Raman measurements, affect the photocatalytic activity. The rise of the specific surface area was achieved by heat treatment, and concomitantly, the adsorption capacity of the treated samples was found to increase likewise.

In this paper, we have investigated AW-7921 in various tempers - specifically under aged T4P1-and T4P2-tempers, naturally aged T4 and peak-aged T6-tempers - for their warm formability at 230°C and paint baking response through one step and five step paint baking treatments. It was found that warm formability depends on dynamic recovery and dissolution of precipitates. However, the response to paint baking was dependent on the stability of the precipitates against coarsening. Of the tempers investigated the T4-temper exhibited the best combination of formability and paint baking response. This study also indicated that we can achieve much better performance in the warm forming processing chain by optimization of the temper and paint baking heat treatment procedure.
