Chapter 10 Phase Transformations in Metals: development of microstructure and alteration of mechanical properties 1. Phase Transformations: a change in the number and/or character of the phases that constitute the microstructure of an alloy *phase: a homogenous portion of a system that has a uniform physical and chemical make up. *Stages of phase transformation 1. Nucleation: the formation of very small particals‚ called nuclei‚ of the new phase‚ which are capable of growing. 2. Growth: The

SMART MATERIALS 1. Introduction The primary characteristic of a ‘‘smart material’’ is that it has the ability to respond to external stimuli in a technically useful and technically controlled way. The words ‘‘technically useful’’ and ‘‘technically controlled’’ are emphasized since all materials respond to external stimuli of some sort or other (as a simple example‚ all materials respond to temperature by changing their volume)‚ however‚ to be considered a ‘‘smart material’’ the response must

Karla Alvarez Chemistry Period One Subatomic Particle The electron is extremely small compared to all the other parts of the atom. It is negatively charged. The negative charge balances out the positive charge of the protons in the atom. Electrons are found in the electron cloud that surrounds the nucleus of an atom. The clouds are generally organized into shells. Electrons move at a quick pace‚ so you never really know where they are specifically. But after years of doing experiments‚ scientists

Sonnet 106: When in the chronicle of wasted time… In the analysis of this sonnet we see the normal sonnet structure for Shakespearean sonnets. Each sonnet is composed of three quatrains and one couplet. A quatrain in poetry is four lines and a couplet is two lines which has the Volta in it. The Volta is a turn or shift in the meaning of the poem. The rhyme scheme of this sonnet like any other sonnet that we find is ABAB…GG. Sonnet 106 is one of the 154 sonnets that is directed towards youth.

Getting a low grade points average "GPA" in college could have major negative effects on the future of a student and lead to adverse outcomes‚ especially for those candidates that are planning to attend graduate school‚ use high GPA level as a mean to secure governmental or private financial aid‚ or even for those that are looking to join the workforce. Most graduate studies have a list of requirements to accept candidates to their schools‚ including a minimum GPA‚ letter of recommendations‚ and a

China Tungsten Industry Report‚ 2014-2017 Summary Tungsten is known as "industrial tooth" or "industrial salt" because both of its melting point and specific gravity are much higher than other metals‚ while its hardness is only second to diamond. Currently‚ China is the world’s largest tungsten ore resources owner and producer. In 2013‚ China’s tungsten ore reserves hit 1.9 million tons‚ accounting for 54.3% of the world; its tungsten concentrate (WO365%) output was 138‚000 tons‚ equivalent to

Question 1‚ part (a) What is elasticity? The term elasticity is defined as a way to measure how responsive doe’s quantity demanded or quantity demanded towards its determinants (Mankiw‚ 2008). In this world today‚ every government need revenue or income in order to increase the welfare of citizens and improve the country itself. One of the ways that government use in order to increase their revenue is by taxation. To do so‚ government needs to impose taxes on goods and services. If tax is imposed

creates shortage or surplus. Price Ceiling – A maximum price at which a good can be sold. Price Floor – Minimum price buyers are required to pay for a good. Elasticity The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. That is‚ Price elasticity of demand=ED= Percentage change in quantity demand Percentage change in price Where: %▲D > %▲P (1) = Elastic demand %▲D < %▲P (1) = Inelastic Demand

The GPA Chaos by Arsalan A. Wasti Evaluation of a student’s performance has always been a critical function of any educational institution. This evaluation not only influences a student’s admission process in other institutions‚ but also his career recruitment. In the recent times‚ the GPA (Grade point Average) system of evaluation has replaced the existing percentage system in Pakistan. Almost all of the emerging higher education institutions are using this system
