Tim MUSEUM in the little town of Arendal in southern Norway possesses a fine English medicine chestwhich belonged to Queen Caroline Mathilde of Denmark. On 8 November 1766 this posthumous daughter of George II's eldest son, Frederick, married King Christian VII of Denmark and Norway. Caroline Mathilde was fifteen years old, and Christian VII two years her senior. He had succeeded to the Danish ...

Amounts of segregation at grain boundaries Mg-0.05at?X (X = Al, Bi, Ca, Ce, Gd, Nd, Y, Zn, Zr) alloys were calculated by using the Hillert’s boundary phase model. As a result, relatively high was obtained in each case Y and Zn. In addition, basal plane texture Erichsen value experimentally investigated, which exhibits similar tendency to previous experiments, i.e., decreases with decreasing int...

The mechanical performance and stretch formability of dissimilar butt joints between medium-Mn stainless steel (MMn-SS) high-strength carbon (HS-CS) processed by laser welding using different parameters were studied under uniaxial biaxial loadings applied tensile Erichsen cupping tests, respectively. Laser scanning microscopy electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) used to study the microstruct...

A novel processing route comprising double reversion annealing (DRA) was designed for developing bulk nano-grained (NG) structure of an austenitic stainless steel (Type 301LN). The new concept DRA comprised two subsequent intrinsic type processes i.e., times cold reductions (~53% and 63%) followed by fast induction heating (~200 °C/s) short duration at different temperatures (first 690 °C/60s s...

the present study was an attempt to investigate varieties of cloze test and c-test as measures of reading comprehension ability. it aimed at comparing the performances of subjects on different cloze and c-test forms constructed from the same passage. to this end, five versions of cloze test and two versions of c-test were developed by applying different deletion techniques and deletion rates, a...
