Steel Magnolias is a great movie of love‚ laughter‚ and tears. It features six strong-willed woman who "are the Steel Magnolias of the tittle…” as Roger Ebert says.

AISI316L Stainless steels (SS) are widely used in biomedical industries to produce orthopedic implants‚ screws‚ cardiovascular stents and other surgery devices because of their proper mechanical properties and corrosion resistance at low cost [1–5]. However‚ they have represented some premature damages when utilized in the body environment. This sort of steels is susceptible to pitting corrosion and release of Ni‚ Mo and Cr ions in body environment which can intensify the risk of cancer and inflammatory

Chapter nine of Jared Diamond’s Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies describes how many of the animals domesticated had certain qualities that made it possible for them to be domesticated. The chapter also goes into why Eurasia became more advanced than the rest of the world. Diamond explains that all of this is possible based on the Anna Karenina principle. The Anna Karenina principle is “happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” This means

critical review of the play "Steel Magnolias‚" by Robert Harling. So on the Wednesday before the holiday weekend (Rosh-Ha-Shana) I decided to make the trip over to the Hand Chapel on the Mount Vernon Campus‚ to see this play that I had already convinced myself was going to be dreadful‚ or at least that was what I wanted myself to believe. It was for this reason that in the beginning I wanted to be over critical and to pick apart every little detail. There was only one problem‚ the fact I thought the

1. Results Part 1: When samples of austenitic stainless steel are immersed in a sulphuric acid solution and are taken through a current‚ it may be observed that corrosion products are formed around the electrodes‚ to differing degrees. The reason for this is because when a uniform voltage is applied across the series of interconnected electrodes in the acid solution different potentials are obtained at each electrode and hence different electrochemical reactions take place. The products of these
