Consider a hypothetical eutectic phase diagram for metals A and B that is similar to that for the lead–tin system (see figure below). Determine the composition of the alloy that consists of the primary beta phase and the eutectic microconstituent (the fraction of the primary beta phase is 0.367).

What is the nature of the microstructure, in terms of microconstituents present in a specimen with 1.12 wt% C when the specimen is rapidly cooled from 920°C to 600°C, held for 1 second, then cooled to 300°C, held for 10 seconds and quenched to room temperature?

Mandatory Prompt. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are the most numerous actors in the international realm. At the same time, they lack the clear authority and power of a Westphalian state. How can NGOs exert pressure on states to change domestic policies, or implement new international regulations? What are traits that separate successful from unsuccessful efforts?

Select ONE of the optional prompts. A. The idea of international law for sovereign states sounds like a great idea. States can create expectations of common behavior without ceding sovereignty. In short, governance without government. Yet, there are multiple issues that emerge from states maintaining their independence. Perhaps, the foremost issue is legal jurisdiction. What forms of jurisdiction exist? How readily can laws be evaded? B. What are two legal theories regarding the recognition of a new state (Things from class. Don’t make up something new.)? What are the criteria that each legal theory claims must be met by an aspiring state? What position has International Court of Justice taken regarding secessionist movements?

Mandatory Prompt. Intergovernmental Organizations provide an array of benefits to sovereign states. One of the most significant of these benefits is the creation of international law. How does international law compare to domestic law? What categories of international law exist? What requirements are considered mandatory for a state to engage in creating and enforcing international law?
