Abstract:

It is well reported that the grain size of polycrystalline materials is important in determining mechanical properties. Within this thesis investigations are reported from an inter-comparison of grain size methods, the impact of an incomplete network of grain boundaries after chemical etching (missing boundaries) on grain size measurements and finally the relationship between grain size and the misorientation of grains. The experimental techniques used are manual grain size measurement methods, automatic image analysis and Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD). The materials used are a ferri

Abstract:

6 pp.<br>Wheat is commonly grown as a dual purpose crop especially in the Southern Great Plains where the forage is grazed then allowed to mature into a grain crop. In Arizona, clipping a crop planted in October may increase tillering and grain yield. A trial was conducted at the Maricopa Ag Center where various small grain varieties were planted on October 12, 2015, cut for forage on January 10, 2016, and allowed to go to grain and compared with the same varieties planted on December 3, 2016 and not cut for forage. No differences in grain yield due to planting date and clipping were detected.

The perovskite family has many novel features including, in certain compounds, either high temperature superconductivity or colossal magnetoresistance (CMR). The electrical and magnetic properties of grain boundaries in these materials also have their own unique properties. These distinct characteristics can be exploited to make devices with a range of potential applications. In this thesis, two types of devices are presented. Superconducting grain boundaries have been studied extensively and can form Jospehson junctions. The grain boundaries have a reduced supercurrent but a substantially enh

Abstract:

China is the largest grain producer and consumer in the world. Since introducing its open-door policy in the 1980's, China has become an increasingly important grain importing country. However, China's wheat imports have varied considerably from year to year. One key issue affecting China's grain imports is its large on-farm grain reserves. This thesis is intended to examine factors significant for China's on-farm grain stocks and shed some additional light on its potential impacts on China's domestic grain markets and grain import activities. The key finding is that Chinese farmers' grain sup

The excitement which followed the discovery of high-temperature superconductors in 1986 was short-lived, as it became clear that their current carrying capacity (the critical current density Jc) was limited by grain boundaries (GBs). In order to reduce their detrimental effects coated conductors have been developed, in which a superconducting thin film is deposited on a polycrystalline, textured substrate. Within certain temperature and magnetic field ranges, however, GBs still limit the overall Jc. This fact motivated the present thesis, for which the electrical properties of different types

Abstract:

Wood is a major construction material that is used in many contexts, and for different purposes. Serious problems may arise, however, when moisture related deformations as twist occur in wood used in different types of building structures, joinery and furniture. Twist can be explained to a great degree by the helical deviation of the grain angle in relation to the longitudinal direction of the log or the sawn board. Wood fibres form a spiral within the tree, and this is a natural occurrence that is named spiral grain. The wood fibres close to the pith in Norway spruce form a left-handed spiral

The semantics of each FGT is specified in terms of its pre- and postcondition conjuncts. Various logical relationships between FGT pre- and postcondition conjuncts are fully catalogued.
