TEM study of the effect of high-temperature thermal cycles on the stability of the Y-Al-O oxides in MA956 ODS steel

MA956, a commercial ferritic grade of Oxide Dispersion-Strengthened (ODS) steel, was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate the influence of high-temperature thermal cycles on the nanometric dispersed oxides. Analyses of the oxide size distribution were carried out on foils from the as-received MA956 and following treatment at 1285ºC for one hour, and show that growth of the oxides has occurred under the thermal cycle. Implications for the oxide stability in the steel matrix are discussed, in the light of the oxide chemical composition

Preservation of Electronic Government Information (PEGI) Project

This article describes the Preservation of Electronic Government Information Project, a two-year initiative aimed at addressing national concerns around the collection and preservation of born-digital government information by cultural memory organizations for long-term public use

Larynx: implants and stents

In the human larynx, implants a primarily used for the correction of glottis insufficiency. In a broader sense laryngeal stents may be considered as implants as well. Laryngeal implants can be differentiated into injectable and solid. The most important representatives of both groups are discussed in detail along with the respective technique of application. Laryngeal stents are primarily used perioperatively. Different types and their use are presented

Field Station Weather Reports

This report includes the annual summary of precipitation from 2021 at the research locations represented in the 2022 field report and further details about the Kansas River Valley locations and the east central Kansas locations

Entwicklung und Optimierung des Diffusionsschweißens von ODS Legierungen

Die Anforderungen an Strukturmaterialien in Generation IV Kernreaktoren steigen durch die Bestrebungen effiziente und umweltverträgliche Reaktoren zu bauen. Oxiddispersionsverfestigte (ODS) Stähle weisen sowohl eine ausgezeichnete Hochtemperaturfestigkeit als auch Bestrahlungsbeständigkeit auf. In dieser Arbeit wird ein Modell zur Vorhersage optimaler Schweißparameter des Festkörperschweißverfahrens Diffusionsschweißen entwickelt und durch eine experimentelle Evaluation optimiert

Southeast Kansas Climate Summary for 2023

Temperature and rainfall are important factors influencing agricultural performance. This report summarizes weather conditions in southeast Kansas. Comparisons to long-term records are used to indicate deviations from historical averages. Overall, in 2023 the southeast region had below average precipitation and above normal temperatures
