Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of metal alloys is promoted by biofilms formed on surfaces. In the marine environment, MIC causes serious infrastructure problems, which lead to significant economic losses. this study, we used an enrichment culture approach examine bacterial community that grows surface at levels below detection limit as a preliminary study for developing guidelines...

The paper “Scrap your Boilerplate” (SYB) introduces a combinator library for generic programming that offers generic traversals and queries. Classically, support for generic programming consists of two essential ingredients: a way to write type-indexed functions, and independently, a way to access the structure of data types. SYB seems to lack the second. As a consequence, it is difficult to co...

In this study, a novel chlorination technique for metallic titanium (Ti) was devised in order to establish a recycling process that uses both Ti metal scrap and iron chloride (FeClx) waste, and its feasibility was demonstrated. Direct reaction between Ti and FeClx has drawbacks such as slow kinetics of Ti chlorination and high volatilization of FeClx. To overcome these, the authors proposed a c...
