Competing tetragonal and monoclinic phases in Ni2.2Mn0.80Ga

Temperature dependent synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and magnetic measurements were performed on Ni2+xMn1-xGa (x=0.20 and 0.35) magnetic shape memory alloys. For x=0.20, though the monoclinic phase is thermodynamically stable, a trace of residual stress can stabilize a tetragonal phase. The residual-stress-induced tetragonal phase transforms to the cubic austenite phase over an unusually large temperature range (348 K < T < 693 K), suggesting extremely slow kinetics of transformation. In contrast to x=0.20, the thermodynamically stable phase of x=0.35 is tetragonal and this composition exhibits the usual features of a reversible martensitic transformation. The results suggest that for x=0.20 the monoclinic and tetragonal phases are nearly degenerate.

Moving European research on work and ageing forward: Overview and agenda

This paper summarizes the state of affairs of European research on ageing and work. After a close inspection of the age construct, an overview is presented of research in four areas: the relationship between age and HR-policies, early retirement, age and performance/employability, age and health/well-being. The overview results in a research agenda on work and ageing and in recommendations for practice.

To Greta: The Biography of Kurt Tauber 1914-1995

His father was a businessman who was dealing with clothing and textile. Kurt was enrolled in the same class as his older brother Hans at Gymnasium. Memories of his Bar Mitzvah celebration. Cello lessons and concerts with his brother Hans. After graduation Kurt started to study medicine at the Anatomic Institute of Julius Tandler at the Vienna University. Member of the liberal medical students' union "Wiener Mediziner". Acquaintance with his future-wife Greta. Skiing trip in the mountains. Antisemitic attacks at University, particularly within the faculties of law and medicine. Arrest under the false accusation of distributing illegal literature. In January 1938 Greta and Kurt Tauber were married. Worsening of political situation and rising of the illegal Nazi movement in Austria. Recollections of the "Anschluss" (Nazi take-over) in March 1938. Affidavit for Greta and Kurt from her brother in the United States. In June 1938 they went to London, where they waited for their visas to the US. Fervent attempts to arrange exit permits for their families in Vienna. Greta and Kurt Tauber arrived in New York in October of 1938. Difficult start at the beginning. Kurt started to work in a bakery. Greta and Kurt moved to a small apartment in the Lower East Side.
