This paper covers the impact of Franklin D Roosevelt's, "Indian New Deal"
and the effect it had on federally recognized Indian tribes. I have taken an
in-depth look at specific areas of New Deal legislation including the Indian
Reorganization Act, the Johnson O'Malley Act, and the Indian Arts and
Crafts...
Powder injection molding (PIM) of ceria-stabilized, zirconia-toughened mullite composites were investigated in the present article with the goal of obtaining performance enhancement in complex geometries for energy and transportation applications. A powder-polymer mixture (feedstock) was developed and characterized to determine its suitability for fabricating complex components using the PIM process....

The recyclability of 316L stainless steel powder in the binder jetting process has been determined. The powder characterization results demonstrated a 22% increase in the number of coarse particles (> 30 µm) and an 18.2% reduction in the number of small particles (< 10 µm) after recycling up to 16 times. A...
Gas-atomized Fe–24Cr–8Al–0.5Y (wt.%) powder was used as a feedstock in a laser powder bed fusion process with nitrogen atmosphere. Formation of Al–Y–O-enriched nanoparticles with diameters of 10–100 nm implied in-situ precipitation of Al–Y–O-enriched nanoparticles within the ferritic matrix developing an oxide dispersion strengthened FeCrAl alloy without any mechanical alloying. Thermodynamics...
The use of duplex stainless steels (DSS) in nuclear power generation systems is limited by thermal instability that leads to embrittlement in the temperature range of 204°C to 538°C. New lean-grade alloys, such as 2101, offer the potential to mitigate these effects. Thermal embrittlement was quantified through impact toughness and...
Aluminum alloys are popular in aerospace and automotive industries because of their relatively high strength-to-weight ratio. The study of enhancing aluminum’s mechanical properties through grain refinement is especially important. One such technique is High-Pressure Torsion processing (HPT), which leads to significant grain size refinement and enhances mechanical properties like ductility...
Work-related hazards and exposures affect human health and well-being. Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) surveillance is fundamental to the public health approach. OSH surveillance provides important data on the occurrence and magnitude of the problem and risk/protective factors. A wide variety of OSH surveillance programs and systems have been established...

The next generation of high temperature structural alloys must exhibit exceptional resistance to fracture, creep, oxidation, and fatigue at high temperatures. Chromium is being considered due to its high melting point (>1800°C), relatively low density (~7.2 g/cc), high temperature strength, and oxidation resistance. Limiting the use of chromium is its...
Depth-profiled Doppler broadening spectroscopy of positron annihilation on the cyclic fatigue-induced fracture surfaces of three amorphous Zr₄₄Ti₁₁Ni₁₀Cu₁₀Be₂₅ metallic glass specimens reveals the presence of a 30–50 nm layer of increased free volume that is generated by the propagating fatigue crack tip. The presence and character of this fatigue transformation zone...
Mullite-zirconia composites have been slated for use in a novel miniature ceramic turbine engine components developed for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) engine applications. Economically feasible production of these complex components requires the use of a near-net shape process such as powder injection molding (PIM). This thesis explores the development and...
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) techniques are additive manufacturing (AM) technologies with paradigm-shifting potential for the production industry. However, before they can become viable production solutions for quality critical industries, issues with process consistency and repeatability need to be addressed. There is a need for in-situ sensing systems that characterize process...
Background:
In the Ganges Delta, chronic arsenic poisoning is a health concern affecting millions of people who rely on groundwater as their potable water source. The prevalence of anemia is also high in this region, particularly among women. Moreover, arsenic is known to affect heme synthesis and erythrocytes and the...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 3-month treadmill desk intervention in eliciting changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior among overweight/obese office workers. METHODS: A randomized controlled trial was conducted among overweight/obese office workers (n=41; mean age = 40.1 ± 10.1 years) at a private workplace. Participants were randomly...
