The result appears illogical, at best, to consumers witnessing the effects of this clash between a company’s marketing needs and perceived legal requirements

War and State-Making in Premodern Political Systems

The University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.Edgar Kiser (PhD University of Arizona, 1987) is Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington. His interests include the study of state-building and war, comparative/historical sociology, premodern states, and rational choice theory applied to institution-building. His recent publications include articles in the American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology on tax-farming, agency theory, war and bureaucratization in Qin China, early modern tax revolts in France, and taxation and voting rights struggles in medieval England and France. He is currently working on a book on state-building in premodern states and empires, and a second examining ideas drawn from evolutionary biology to the development of historical/comparative methods in the social sciences.Ohio State University.

Particle size reduction of Si3N4 with Si3N4 milling hardware

The grinding of Si3N4 powder using reaction bonded Si3N4 attrition, vibratory, and ball mills with Si3N4 media was examined. The rate of particle size reduction and the change in the chemical composition of the powder were determined in order to compare the grinding efficiency and the increase in impurity content resulting from mill and media wear for each technique. Attrition and vibratory milling exhibited rates of specific surface area increase that were approximately eight times that observed in ball milling. Vibratory milling introduced the greatest impurity pickup

Ceramics for engines

The NASA Lewis Research Center's Ceramic Technology Program is focused on aerospace propulsion and power needs. Thus, emphasis is on high-temperature ceramics and their structural and environmental durability and reliability. The program is interdisciplinary in nature with major emphasis on materials and processing, but with significant efforts in design methodology and life prediction
