ii Introduction It is generally agreed upon that creativity is an important property of human language. For example, speakers routinely coin new words, employ novel metaphors, and play with words through puns. Indeed, such creative processes take place at all levels of language from the lexicon, to syntax, semantics, and discourse. Creativity allows speakers to express themselves with their own...

The relationship between alloying content, microstructure and properties has been studied for high strength steel weld metals with 7 to 9 wt. % nickel. Neural network modelling suggested that manganese reductions lead to large impact toughness increases and that nickel must be added in a controlled manner with respect to manganese in order toincrease impact toughness. Carbon additions were pred...

Different cooling paths from a supersolvus temperature have been applied to FGH96, a polycrystalline nickel base superalloy for turbine disc applications, in order to simulate the different microstructures that exist through the thickness of a disc following an industrial heat treatment. Secondary and tertiary γ’ precipitate size distributions and morphology have been analysed and compared for ...

1-Phenyl-2-benzoyl-8-azacycl(2.2.2)azine, VII.-Heating 450 mg of VI in a sublimation tube at 2400 caused rapid evolution of gas. The residue was taken up in a 2: 1 mixture of benzene-Skelly Solve B and chromatographed over alumina (Woelm, activity 3). The solid obtained from the first eluate fraction was recrystallized from an ether-Skelly Solve B mixture to give 312 mg of orange crystals, mp 1...

Intracellular signaling pathways include both the activation and the inhibition of biological processes. The activation of Ca2+ regulation of actin-myosin interactions was examined first, whereas it took 20 years for the author to clarify the inhibitory mode by using Physarum polycephalum, a lower eukaryote. This review describes the investigation of the inhibitory mode since 1980. The inhibito...
