In this study, the evolution of structure and the relationship between microstructure and corrosion behavior of the Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) alloy was investigated in Ringer&amp / #8217 / s solution at 37 &plusmn / 0.1 oC. Initially, different heat treatments were performed in order to obtain several microstructures which were / Widmanst&auml / tten &amp / #945 / for furnace cooling (FC), basket-weave &amp / #945 / for air cooling (AC), martensite (&amp / #945 / &#039 / ) for water quenching (WQ) from 1060 oC, and aged martensite for ten hours at 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 oC. The microstructural characterizations were done by using SEM and X-ray Diffraction technique. Finally, the corrosion tests were accomplished in Ringer&amp / #8217 / s solution and NaF added Ringer&amp / #8217 / s solution by using open circuit potential and anodic polarization techniques, respectively. The results showed that vanadium element removal from martensite phase and unit cell volume increase were detected during aging due to the replacement of vanadium with titanium atoms. According to the alloying element distribution throughout the microstructure, the passive film formation due to equilibrium corrosion conditions was better in FC specimen than AC and WQ specimens. But during anodic polarization, the stability of the film in high Cl- ion concentration medium was more resistant to dissolution for WQ and aged specimens. As a result, the alloying element distribution underneath the passive film seemed to have an important role on the film formation and its stability. However, in non-equilibrium conditions, the passive film formation tendency due to the addition of NaF at 0.2M decreased because of the detrimental effects of F- ions.

One of the most controversial figures in Colombian history is that of Jorge Eliecer Gaitan, whose assassination of April 9, 1948, ended a twenty-year career in national politics.1 The Colombian writer-diplomat, Juan Lozano Y Lozano, has distinguished Gaitan as the man most responsible for creating a "new mood: in twentieth century Colombian politics.2 Essentially, this "new mood" is that of increased interest in national social problems which, during the lifetime of Gaitan, was accompanied by an increasing demand on the part of the masses for significant participation in the political processes of the nation. The paper is divided into three chapters. The first describes the setting for the initial political activity of Gaitan: the Colombian capital, Bogota. The second is a biographical study of Gaitan. The third examines the impact of Gaitan on Bogata during his term as mayor. An epilogue briefly discusses Gaitan after his mayoralty.

The main focus of this work was to investigate substitution effects on the chemical bonding in compounds of AlB 2 -type and related structure types. Delocalization indices within the QTAIM approach and the topological analysis of the ELI functionals were used as tools to describe the bonding situation in digallides and diborides. Digallides of AlB 2 -type were found only within group I and II; for CaGa 2 (meta-stable phase), SrGa 2 , BaGa 2 , YGa 2 and LaGa 2 compounds. Within these compounds, QTAIM analysis showed similar trend as previously found in diborides. That is, along the period in the Periodic Table, metal-triel interactions increase at the expense of in-plane (triel-triel) ab interactions (Tr=triel). However, transition metal diborides adopt the AlB 2 -type up to group VI. To understand this difference, we simulated transition metal (TM) digallides and diborides up to group VI in the AlB 2 -type. Additionally, the puckered variants diborides ReB 2 and OsB 2 were also simulated in the AlB 2 -type. With filling of d shell, there is a delicate balance between increase of TM–Tr and decrease of in-plane (Tr–Tr) ab electron sharing. This balance is maintained as long as interlayer interactions in the c direction (Tr–Tr ) c and (TM–TM ) c are not relatively too high in comparison to in-plane electron sharing. In contrast to TM B 2 of AlB 2 -type, digallides in the same structure type build up strong interlayer interactions for early transition metal elements. Our results showed that within digallides, a relatively strong increase in interlayer electron sharing (Ga–Ga) c and (TM–TM ) c takes place. Such increase occurs already for ScGa 2 and TiGa 2 . On the other hand, diborides show a steady increase in electron sharing of TM –B and (TM–TM ) c , but not of (B–B) c . Therefore, it is reasonable to suggest that diborides will tend to adopt a 3D network composed of boron and transition metal atoms (ReB 2 and RuB 2 types). The additional high (Ga–Ga) c interlayer interactions indicate a tendency for digallides to form 3D networks composed only by gallium atoms, characteristic of CaGa 2 (CaIn 2 -type) and ScGa 2 (KHg 2 -type). The counterbalancing bonding effects of in-plane and out-of-plane interactions that give the chemical flexibility of the AlB 2 -type in diborides is thus disrupted in AlB 2 -type digallides by a further enhanced degree of interlayer interactions (Ga–Ga) c and (TM –TM ) c . This results in a smaller number of digallides than that of diborides in AlB 2 -type. The most conspicuous difference between diborides and digallides of AlB 2 -type is in the representation of the B – B and Ga – Ga bonds revealed by the ELI- D topology. Whereas AlB 2 -type diborides exhibit one ELI-D attractor at the B – B midpoint, AlB 2 -type digallides exhibit two ELI-D attractors symmetrically opposite around the Ga – Ga bond midpoint. We utilized the E 2 H 4 (E=triel, tetrel ) molecular series in the D 2h point group symmetry as model systems for solid state calculations. In particular, we addressed the appearance of ELI- D double maxima for Ga – Ga, by using orbital decomposition within the ELI framework. The ELI-D topology changes along the 13th group T r 2 H 4 series. Whereas B 2 H 4 and Al 2 H 4 exhibit one ELI-D attractor representing the Tr–Tr bond, Ga 2 H 4 and In 2 H 4 give rise to two ELI-D attractors. Partial ELI-D allows the orbital decomposition of the electron density. Partial ELI-q gives access to the decomposition of a two-particle property, which is given by the Fermi-hole curvature. We have found that the d-orbitals enable the formation of the two ELI-D attractors through pairing contributions. This has a net effect of lowering electron localizability at the Ga – Ga bond midpoint. Namely, the different ELI-D topology of Ga – Ga and B – B bonds stems from the contributions of d-orbitals to orbital pairing. We have also investigated the bonding situation in transition metal diborides of ReB 2 -type (MnB 2 , TcB 2 , ReB 2) and RuB 2 -type (OsB 2 , RuB 2). One can consider these two structure types as an extension of the trend found in TM B 2 of AlB 2 -type: an increase in TM –B interactions and an enhanced three-center bonding. The change in the structure type results in a puckered layer of boron atoms with electrons equally shared between B – B and TM –B. However, TM –B bonds exhibit a high three-center character. The ELI-D/QTAIM intersection technique also revealed a high participation of TM in the B – B bonding basin population. Moreover, ELI-D topology in the ReB 2 -type also discloses a seemingly important Re 3 three-center interaction along the flat layer of Re atoms. Such basin is absent in MnB 2 , which coincides with the fact that MnB 2 was only observed in the AlB 2 -type. In this regard, we concluded that the 3D network consists not only of covalent B – B bonds, but also of TM –B bonds.

Despite the vast research on industrial innovation in the United States, little shows innovation as a process from the theoretical origins to its practical application. The image that emerges from the overall literature is one showing only the importance of applied innovation. This thesis argues that historians need to reevaluate how manufacturing advancements are studied in the United States. Using the creation of the American System of Manufacturing as a case study, this study focuses on innovation as a connected process from its theoretical origins to its applied state. This study focuses less on the individuals involved and more on the system itself. This accomplishes two points. First is that it shows that the idea is more important than the peoples. Second is that this thesis provides a greater understanding of how the American System of Manufacturing came to fruition. By examining these two points, this thesis demonstrates that historians need to look beyond the traditional application-only focus that has plagued the study of technological history. Instead historians must show industrial innovation as both the creation of the theoretical concept and the systems practical application. / History

The last two decades have set the global trend of internationalized education on a new course. Besides the usual flow of international students from their home countries to Western universities, an opposite flow emerged. In the Middle East, for instance, the number of international campuses nearly doubled between 2000 and 2009, and Egypt has been no exception. Starting 2003, Egypt has witnessed a remarkable surge of private international universities that use English as a medium of instruction, adopt foreign curricula and have partnerships with universities in Europe, North America, and recently Asia. This trend has raised identity loss concerns among many intellectuals and educational researchers whose worries mainly revolved around national, religious, and linguistic identities. This longitudinal qualitative study, thus, aimed to understand how Egyptian freshman students at an international University in Cairo construct and negotiate their national, religious and linguistic identities. A semi-structured interview was conducted with 12 students at three different points of their first year at the university, and a focus group was organized at the beginning of their second year. Results revealed a more complex picture than the widespread simplistic rhetoric about international universities’ influence on students’ identity construction. The participants’ social and academic backgrounds and unique life experiences were an important factor in their identity construction and negotiation; they seemed to determine the ranking of those identities on their hierarchy of identities, which in turn shaped how they constructed and negotiated them. Moreover, participants realized and used their agency to negotiate their identities and resolve identity crises when these happened. They also resorted to other identity agents, particularly family and students’ clubs. This study contributes to the Egyptian debate on educational reform and adds to the literature on English as a medium of instruction, identity formation, and internationalized education by shedding light on the intricate ways in which students navigate through international education, and by suggesting pedagogical and policy implications applicable not only to liberal-education institutions in the region, but perhaps also to other universities in Europe and North America that attract international students, particularly with the recent waves of refugees from the Middle East.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / In 1854 the United States Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska bill which left the question of slavery in the territory up to a vote of popular sovereignty. Upon the passage of the bill, New England’s most elite class of citizens, led by Eli Thayer, mobilized their networks of philanthropy in New England to ensure the Kansas-Nebraska territory did not embrace slavery. The effort by the New England elite to make the territories free was intertwined in a larger web of philanthropic motivations aimed to steer the future of America on a path that would replicate New England society throughout the country. The process and goal of their philanthropy in the Kansas-Nebraska Territory was not dissimilar from their philanthropy in New England. Moral classification of those in material poverty mixed with a dose of paternalism and free labor capitalism was the antidote to the disease of moral degradation and poverty. When Missourians resisted the encroachment of New Englanders on the frontier, the New England elites shifted their philanthropy from moral reform to the funding and facilitation of violence under the guise of philanthropy and disaster relief. For six years, until the outbreak of the American Civil War, New England philanthropists facilitated and helped fund the conflict known as Bleeding Kansas.
