CuraÁao
CuraÁao is a computer program that simulates the sterile insect release method (SIRM) of pest population suppression, first conceived by E. F. Knipling (1955).
The user can investigate the effects of several variables on the effectiveness of the method and discover what happens when some of the basic assumptions of the model are relaxed or violated in some way. The user should gain some understanding of the sorts of things that complicate the application of the technique in situations that are
Dual-phase steel water quenched from 750°C
Dual phase steel annealed at 750°C for 5mins and then water quenched to room temperature. The microstructures revealed that the carbides are not dissolved at this low intercritical temperature and some undissolved pearlite lamallae can still be observed. Austenite is visible at grain boundaries and the martensite has been tinted by the application of second tint-etch. Martensite appears straw-coloured. Some M-A constituents can be clearly seen by the application of this step-etching technique.
All that Glitters...
