Structural stabilities of myoglobin (Mb) from several tuna fish species significantly differ from each other, although the amino acid sequence identities are very high (>95%), suggesting that limited number of substitutions greatly affect the stability of Mb. To address this hypothesis, attempts were made to elaborate recombinant tuna Mbs with point mutations on the different residues among ...

T91 grade steels showed a gradual enhancement in tensile ductility at ambient temperature due to an increase in Si content from 0.5 to 2.0 weight percent (wt.%). However, the ultimate tensile strength was reduced only above 1.5 wt.% Si. The corrosion potential became more active in an acidic solution with increasing temperature. The cracking susceptibility ...

Martensitic T91 grade steels exhibited a susceptibility to dynamic strain aging (DSA) by virtue of gradually reduced failure strain (ef) and formation of serrations within a susceptible temperature range, irrespective of the silicon (Si) content. Since DSA is a thermally-activated process involving diffusion of solute elements, the effects of temperature ...

Advanced cladding materials are being considered for high-temperature applications in Generation IV reactors (e.g. T91, ODS steels). These materials provide better mechanical properties (e.g., creep strength) at these higher temperatures than the more commonly employed cladding steels (e.g., HT-9). However, consideration must also be given to other ...

New developments with bainite have resulted in a steel with an ultimate tensile strength of 1.7-2.5 GPa and a toughness in excess of 30-40 MPa m1/2. The novel microstructure is generated in a high carbon high silicon steel isothermally transformed at temperatures of 200 C-350 C. Iron does not diffuse during the transformation to bainite at this low temperature. As a result, 20-40 nm thick plates ...

BackgroundAlthough nowaday it is broadly accepted that mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) may undergo recombination, the frequency of such recombination remains controversial. Its estimation is not straightforward, as recombination under homoplasmy (i.e., among identical mt genomes) is likely to be overlooked. In species with tandem duplications of large mtDNA fragments the detection of recombination can ...

An ultrasupercritical (USC) boiler with higher steam temperature and pressure is expected to increase the efficiency of the coal-fired power plant and also decrease emissions of air pollutants. Ferritic/martensitic alloys have been developed with good creep strength for the key components in coal-fired USC plants. However, they typically suffer excessive steam-side oxidation, which contributes to ...

Seismicity rate changes can result from both natural and man-made causes. It is important to differentiate them as much as possible in order to identify the meaningful and real rate changes in seismicity studies [Habermann, et al.

Coal is presently the world's primary fuel for generating electrical power and, being more abundant and less expensive than oil or natural gas, is expected to continue its dominance into the future. Coal, however, is more carbon intensive than natural gas and oil and consequently coal-fired power plants are large point source emitters of carbon dioxide (CO{sub 2}). Since CO{sub 2} is a ...
