Abstract
The experiment discussed in this paper aims to generate experimentally the lead-tin phase diagram from various proportions of the two metals in this binary system. It involves the preparation and heating in a test tube of mixtures containing 90%Pb-10%Sn, 80%Pb-20%Sn, 60%Pb-40%Sn, 40%Pb-60%Sn, and 20%Pb-80%Sn. The paper explains that the experiment requires the use of a thermocouple to monitor the temperature reading every 5 seconds until it drops off to 160 degrees C. Five cooling curves (temperature versus time), 1 for each mixture are generated, taking notes on the points of arrest and the critical temperatures. The paper shows that the integration of all the cooling curves produces the lead-tin phase diagram. The paper includes diagrams.

"The simplest phase diagrams are those of the binary alloys, a binary alloy being one that contains two components. In this type of phase diagram, temperature and composition are the variable parameters, the temperature usually being relegated to the y-axis and the composition to the x-axis (where the two composition scales of the two components run opposite to each other in magnitude, the 100% composition of each component coinciding with the 0% composition of the other component, and vice versa)."

"A solid-liquid phase diagram was constructed for a naphthalene - diphenylamine system. The phase diagram was constructed using the procedure known as thermal analysis. Thermal analysis allows for the determination of phase boundaries. A graph of the phase boundaries was then plotted versus mole fraction of naphthalene. From the graph the eutectic composition of the system was determined to be 0.39 + 0.1 moles of naphthalene and 0.61 + 0.1 moles of diphenylamine. The ln of mole fractions of naphthalene were then plotted versus 1/Temperature and from these graphs the heat of fusion and melting temperature for Ha and Hb were determined to be 99.49 + 2.0 KJ/mol and 17.38 KJ/mol, respectively. The Ta and Tb were determined to be 29.0 + 2.0 oC and 81.4 + 2.0 oC, respectively."

"Methods of Reducing Porosity In Brass
Introduction. Matrix management is associated with a matrix organizational form. A matrix form of organization is an organizational structure with two or more (a) channels of command, (b) lines of budget authority, (c) sources of performance reward, and (d) so forth. A lack of maximal density, or some porosity, must exist in the metals' lattice structure or must be introduced in the alloying process. Explored here are methods metallurgists may use to minimize porosity in brass.
Brass. A useful alloy of two metals, copper and zinc (9:166), brass has been formed for cultural uses and ornamentation since the 13th century BC (1:9). The term, brass, indicates any of an infinite possible set of mixes of "copper-..."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss and analyze the book "The Tin Drum" by Gunter Grass. Specifically, the paper focuses on two particular chapters. Firstly, Chapter 27 (Inspection of Concrete, or Barbaric, Mystical, Bored), and Chapter 28 (The Imitation of Christ). Gunter Grass' "The Tin Drum" is an historic look at a Polish family with a young son stunted by an accident. Oskar turns out to be a performing midget, who is ludicrous and yet endearing. The writer claims that the themes of the book are complex and the style is demanding, but it is a rewarding read that causes the reader to think, to feel, and to sometimes agree with the author's clearly defined themes.
From the Paper
"Chapter 27 of "The Tin Drum" is entitled "Inspection of Concrete, or Barbaric, Mystical, Bored," and in it, Oskar's theatre troop inspects several German concrete bunkers along the Atlantic Wall. During their visit, the groups inspects the fine concrete of the bunkers, (inlaid with shells from the nearby beaches), and discovers one of the soldiers was an artist before the war. The artist, named Lankes, titles one of his "Oblique Formations" (pillboxes) "Barbaric, Mystical, Bored" (Grass 337), and the troupe leader Bebra replies, "You have given our century its name" (Grass 337). Grass uses the pillboxes as an art form to signify the sheer waste of war."

Abstract
This paper discusses the theme in "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" through a character analysis of the tin soldier. The paper points out that, while the theme of the story seems to be about true love conquering all, the underlying theme is about manliness and the suggestion that love seems to feminize men while they are in pursuit of their beloved, transforming them into an acceptable love object. The paper also examines an additional theme that suggests that those who are too sensitive cannot live through the harshness of the world.
From the Paper
"At the beginning of the story, the tin Soldier is ?different from all the others because he was missing one leg. He has been the last one to be cast and there had not been enough tin? (112). In this way, the Tin Soldier can either be viewed as disabled, having only one leg, or as symbolically emasculated. Soldiers, weapons and perpetrators of destruction, are often viewed as one of the highest forms of masculinity. Violent by nature and protective of their countries, the tin soldier symbolizes the opposite of love and romance, even if they are all ?handsome [in] red and blue uniforms? and stand ?with rifles sticking up over their shoulders? (112). Soldiers are deadly in their masculine beauty. However, the Tin Soldier in Andersen?s tale is far from perfect and is less than a warrior. Andersen reveals the tin soldier?s love constant love for the ballerina throughout the story. However, the tin soldier is unable to demonstrate through his bravery that he is worthy of this love. Moreover, the lacking leg may be equated with missing biological parts of masculinity. This Steadfast Soldier cannot procreate and therefore, must be less than a man. The reader might ask why Andersen would want to portray his protagonist as less than a hero. The response is that soldiers, in their courage and readiness to fight, are not true candidates for romantic love. The Tin Soldier, lacking a leg cannot approach his beloved ballerina to declare his love for her. He is afraid that the ballerina will not accept him because of his disability. Symbolically, he is distanced from the ballerina by their placement in the boy?s room. Additionally, the troll who possibly ?caused the window to open suddenly and the soldier to fall out of it? may represent nature?s cruelty to those who are different."

Abstract
This paper argues that Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic concepts illustrated in "The Interpretation of Dreams" and "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which examine the discipline of dreams and sexuality, their implications and inner mechanisms, are significant tools for interpreting human behavior and intrinsic to learning critical theory. The author points out that, nonetheless, these theories are not strictly scientific, are not free from the taint of Freud's gross generalizations and sometimes represent his chauvinistic mindset. The author then uses these tools to disect Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and in doing so, aligns himself with both critics who stress the inherent nature of Freud's theories in Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" as well as with the critics who assert that examining the play from a strictly psychoanalytic perspective can limit and compartmentalize certain of its dramatic elements and themes. The paper includes many quotations.
From the Paper
"The theories in "Interpretation" are linked to ideas presented in "Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality", which is considered an equally prominent and definitive publication in Freud's career. Although "Three Essays" does not include case studies, it also closely examines the nature of sexuality, which begins in early childhood and, like the nature of dreams, is ridden with angst and hidden meanings. According to Freud, sexuality is the driving force for repression, neurosis, and hysteria. One exemplary concept is castration anxiety, an idea involving a deep-rooted fear originating from the phallic stage in young men."

Abstract
This paper examines how "The Tin Drum", written by Gunter Grass, is one of the most outstanding novels that represents the cruelties inflicted by the German army on others. In particular, it looks at how the prime character in the story is Oskar Matzerath, who, as a result of the hard German regime and cruelties, repudiates to grow up in protest of the Germans. It attempts to explain the psyche behind Oskar?s thinking and why he became the sort of person he was. It primarily emphasizes the main theme of the book, i.e. guilt, and explains whether this feeling turned Oskar into a better person or just caused an evasion in his personality.
From the Paper
"The novel starts by introducing to the audience a vague character named Oskar who is instituted in a mental asylum. Though every once a week people visit him, he finds no joy in that. His only friend is his watcher and caretaker named Bruno Munsterberg. His decision to stop growing up was adamant. ?For many years I not only stayed the same size but clung to the same attire? (Gunter Grass, The Tin Drum). Throughout the novel the audience feels that Oskar liked to give a rational interpretation of the actual events in his life. He gave these incidents his own spice so that he could become the hero of his own play. He is even told by his watcher to stop dreaming. In some points in the novel, Oskar while relating stories to his audience realizes that he has exaggerated the truth a little too much and then backtracks to tell what the actual truth was."

Abstract
This paper examines in detail the character of Big Daddy and what he represents. The story revolves around him and his family, and their reaction to his pending death from cancer. The characters' personalities are explored and their relationships to each other are examined. Big Daddy wishes to leave his estate to his son but the son is unmarried and has no children. Homosexuality, father-son relationships and inter-personal communication are all topics addressed in this paper.
From the Paper
"Big Daddy was just a drifter when he first came to the plantation owned by two gay men, Jack Straw and Peter Ochello. He only intended to stay long enough to do some yard work and make some pocket money, but he ends up becoming the overseer of the plantation, and inherits it when they die. He loves the "twenty-eight thousand acres of the richest land this side of the valley Nile," and he is determined it will stay with Brick, who he thinks is the better and more deserving of his two sons."

Abstract
This paper takes an analytical look at the themes in Tennessee Williams's play, "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof", where lies, deception, and the unrelenting search for the truth take its readers on a psychological journey. The paper also provides extensive background research on the writer himself.
From the Paper
"Big Daddy?s fight to overcome cancer is a tough one, and he deals with it by trying to regain his life back (The Dramatic World of Tennessee Williams 73). Brick blames his wife for Skipper?s suicide and responds to his death by becoming an alcoholic. He is full of disdain towards his wife, but Margaret is relentless to keep their marriage alive, even though she feels ?all the time like a cat on a hot tin roof? (Tennessee Williams 104-105). Tennessee?s couples cease to sufficiently love each other, because he believes that a vicious society keeps lovers apart."

Abstract
A study of Tennessee Williams' play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, about family conflict over issues of money, land, inheritance, and the continuation of the family. The paper presents these themes and shows that one important one is the theme of illusion, especially in love, with characters who live a lie and refuse to understand or acknowledge their true natures.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Tennessee Williams in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof depicts a family beset by conflicts based on sex, money, inheritance, and ties to the land. Different factions in the family vie for attention out of fear of losing money once the patriarch dies. Money is a major source of family conflict in this play, though there are other conflicts as well. In this play, the conflicts extend into the past and to earlier sins committed by the older members of the family. This suggests several divisions or opposing forces which can be identified in the play--youth versus old age, modernity versus tradition, change versus the status quo, and tensions tearing the family apart versus those keeping the family together. The plot develops around these forces, with different characters representing or supporting different forces in their behavior, the way Big Daddy represents tradition while the younger generation represents change. This contrast is heightened in terms of the theme of inheritance and the decision as to who will control the land and continue the family traditions."

Abstract
This document discusses the pricing and promotion strategy for Compass Vending Services's (CVS) new product line of organic, healthy snack foods. The product line is marketed under the SunRidge Farms brand and is to be distributed in many of the same institutional and organizational outlets CVS's current products are marketed and distributed through.
From the Paper
"The concept put forward in this present research makes the assumption that the product price determines the promotion strategy to some extent and that the product price is inherently related to how CVS can position the SunRidge Farms brand of healthy snack foods. Supporting Statement Recognizing the importance of pricing and promotion to its overall positioning of these new healthy snack foods in the marketplace ensures that CVS is constantly elevating the competitive barriers for new entrants and new products. Product Overview CVS has introduced a pre-packaged healthy/organic snack food marketed under the SunRidge Farms brand name (Canteen, 2006). Marketed as organic and all natural, these products consist of several types."

Abstract
The affinity diagram has become one of the most widely used of the Japanese management and planning tools for quality management. This paper compares this method to the scatter diagram, another strategy used for problem-solving, and shows how both are applied to workplace experience.
From the Paper
"In working with an affinity diagram, a group of people begins with a brainstorming session on the topic under investigation. They then clarify the list of ideas, record them on small cards or Post-It notes, and randomly lay out cards on a table, flipchart, wall, etc.
Next, without speaking, the members sort the cards into "similar" groups of ideas. This process is repeated until a consensus is reached."

Abstract
This paper provides an insight into brass, a useful alloy of two metals, copper and zinc which has been used for cultural uses and ornamentation since the 13th century BC. It examines how the porosity, or the ratio of the volume of interstices of a material to the volume of its mass, can be reduced in order for brasses of all compositions to be worked or hardened to form wires, fittings or ornaments with the most utilitarian strength, elasticity or ductility features.

Summary and Conclusions
From the Paper
"As with many metals and alloys, brass is often worked after its formation, not merely for shaping into the desired form, but also to alter for improvement one or more of its physical properties: Strength or hardness, ductility or elasticity, as examples. The methods are generally lumped as a number of "hardening" types, although their purposes rarely include the reduction of porosity, per se. Some are carried out at room temperature (called "cold work"); others are performed at a variety of elevated temperatures, each having its own intended effect (called "hot working")(14:7-9)."
