Doctorate of Engineering in Materials Engineering (D.E.)
- 39 semester hours beyond the M.S. and 21 hours of research leading to a dissertation. More.
Areas of Emphasis
National recognition has been achieved because we concentrate on research and study in areas integral to our region: Aerospace-alloys, composite-materials, composite processing, non-destructive evaluation (NDE), structural-ceramics.
- Position of "front-line" leadership in materials engineering.
- Two world-class materials' laboratories in the Dayton area.
- Doctoral research: University of Dayton Research Institute (UDRI), Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) and a regional industrial lab. U.S. citizenship or Green Card is required for AFRL and some UDRI projects.
- Structural metals, composites, polymers, ceramics, coatings, corrosion, non-destructive evaluation (NDE), electronic materials, thin films, solid lubricants, optical materials, etc.
- Titanium Technology — gave the University of Dayton a status of one of the world leaders in airframe light structural alloys, attracted many international students and brought in a big portion of our outside funding and integrated our activity with AFRL.
- Non-Destructive Materials Characterization (NDC) — developed through a close association and cooperation with UDRI. It culminated in the establishment of the CMD/MURI Center on Caldwell Street that became possible through substantial grants from AFOSR and the Ohio Board of Regents. This Center has been supporting up to nine graduate students MAT, CME and EO in each of the last three years.
- Composite materials processing and process control are some of the most significant contributions of the University to the technology improvement at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB). It has been developed in conjunction with UDRI and CME and is greatly responsible for the Miami Valley region recently becoming recognized as the "Composite Valley."

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
"Shevi-Randi Salad" |
KosherEye.comby Gayle Squires, Kosher Camembert.com This mango–avocado salad from South Africa is great,and very different from anything I've ever tried. Only make it when you can find fabulous mangos and avocado. I made a few modifications, but for the most part, this salad is the same one my friend Meira forwarded along to me nearly a decade ago. A decade. The cucumbers are a recent addition, so recent, in fact, that they didn't make it to pictures. Ingredients: Dressing: Salad: Directions: Blend dressing. Combine salad ingredients. Add dressing before serving. Notes: Recipes: Salad, Parve, Kosher |

It's not uncommon for the phone to ring and someone wants us to give us our opinnion on the RLSS protein skimmer line. so we decided to ask our friends at Aqua Nerd permission to repost an article on the RLSS R6i protein skimmer that they recently reviewed. Thanks to Brandon Klaus at Aqua Nerd for allowing us to repost his article on our blog and it's safe to say we agree with his assessment of the RLSS R6i skimmers. We would also like to say that much of the information contained in the article can also be applied to the other models of RLSS Protein Skimmers. Aquarium Specialty will have a new batch of these skimmers arriving next week (week of 4/15/13) in case you would like to place an order for the RLSS R6-i. Please note that the packaging below is not typical of the way the RLSS skimmers ship. This was sent direct to Brandon from the factory overseas and they arrive to us in regular retail packaging on a pallet. Aquarium Specialty then double boxes them to help insure safe delivery.
Ok now for Brandon's review...
Sometimes our product reviews take a little time to fully complete. We strive to test the equipment under both normal and abnormal operating conditions for an extended period of time in an attempt to really gague how the equipment responds. Such is the case for a RLSS R6-i protein skimmer we received last year. We put the DC controllable skimmer on our 80-gallon frag setup and let her run, and we were more than pleased with the tiny skimmer's performance.

Packing for cruises depends greatly on your intended ports of call: the Tahitian islands call for a different wardrobe than the Aleutians. Back on board, the dress code on most lines can be described as country-club casual, with a few "formal" events thrown in. One advantage of cruising is that you only unpack once so, you are free to bring more than you might on a land journey. Prepare for wind and spray on deck with wind-defying and waterproof garments; on-shore explorations call for versatile walking clothes, and remember something a little dressy for evenings at the captains table.

Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain. The inflammation may involve the whole brain or just parts of the brain. Encephalitis may just occur in individuals (sporadic) or may affect many people in a particular area (epidemic).
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Encephalitis is most often caused by a viral infection. In the United States, the most common cause of sporadic encephalitis is the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Epidemic causes of encephalitis are usually mosquito- or tick-borne viruses.
The most common viruses that cause encephalitis include:
Not all encephalitis is caused by a virus. Some may be due to an overreaction of the immune system.

Yankees head back to KC for makeup game
Shields, Pineda square off as clubs continue playoff runs
Derek Jeter's farewell tour will head to Kansas City for "one night only" when the Yankees play a makeup game Monday against the first-place Royals. The game, rained out in early June, will finish up a four-game series.
Jeter will be honored prior to the matchup, which will feature Royals starter James Shields, the last pitcher the Yankees faced when they travelled to Kauffman Stadium.
Shields has faced Derek Jeter 95 times during his career and there are undoubtedly a few more matchups coming, like when the Royals visit New York in early September.
"He's been a tough out his whole career," Shields said. "I'm not the only one, for sure, but he's had close to 100 at-bats against me and every out I've ever had has been tough. It's been an honor to be able to face a guy like that for a long time."
Jeter has hit .284 (25-for-88) against Shields with one homer, three doubles and six RBIs. They were frequent foes when Shields was with Tampa Bay in the American League East.
This is the 30th time that Shields will face the Yankees and he's 9-15 against them with a 4.20 ERA. He'll be facing a slightly rejuvenated Yankees offense, which posted 16 runs over the weekend in sweeping the White Sox and winning four straight games.
"We've always talked about where momentum starts," said Girardi after Sunday's walk-off victory. "It starts with your starting pitcher the next day. But it's a good feeling going on the road when you're going on a strange trip where you're going to a city to play one day. But it's a much better feeling when you're leaving."
The win streak has come about largely from that starting pitching. Over their last five games, Yankees starters haven't allowed more than three runs per outing, resulting in only one loss, mostly at the expense of their usually reliable bullpen.
Michael Pineda started that trend, and he'll look to continue it Monday against a Royals team that's won 24 of its last 31 games. He'll make his third start since coming back from the disabled list with an upper-back strain, hoping to progress after tossing six innings of two-run ball against the Astros on Wednesday.
"He was pretty good," Girardi said of Pineda's last start. "I thought he got a little tired at the end, but that's to be expected. We pushed him a little bit, but I thought he gave us a really good performance."
Yankees: Gardner and Ellsbury sit out
Brett Gardner celebrated his 31st birthday with a lengthy visit to the Yankee Stadium trainers' room on Sunday.
Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury were both out of the Yankees' lineup for injury-related reasons on Sunday, as the club prepared to face the White Sox and left-hander Chris Sale.
Girardi said that Gardner's right ankle was "pretty sore" after he fouled a ball off himself in Saturday's 5-3 win over Chicago; Girardi said that he hopes Gardner will miss only one day but is doubtful he will play Monday.
"Hopefully, a good day of treatment gets most of the soreness out," Girardi said.
Royals: Respect for Jeter
Shields and Jeter might be rivals but the right-hander has great respect for the Yankees' shortstop.
"He's never really shown anybody up, he's always cordial with all the players. And when it comes between the lines, he takes his job seriously and obviously his career has showed that," Shields said.
"God definitely gave him talent and he used it to the best of his ability."
Royals outfielder Josh Willingham reflected on what he's learned from Jeter through the years.
"Just respect everybody. He's always got something nice to say, he never really blows anybody off and if you get to second base, he's going to come over and say, 'Hey', he's done that ever since I was a rookie," Willingham said. "I think just being a genuinely nice guy is another good quality about him."
Worth noting
• The makeup game opens a 10-game homestand for the Royals. Following the Yankees' quick stop are three-game series against the Twins, Indians and Rangers.
• Carlos Beltran's 15th home run with the Yankees on Saturday marked the fifth Major League team with which he has hit 15 dingers. Kansas City was the first.
• While Brett Gardner turned 31 Sunday, reliever Adam Warren will be celebrating his 27th birthday Monday.

Anyone know what a Zanzibar cake is?
Me neither.
You wouldn't expect that to deter my daughter, though, I'm sure. E is very enamored of the Ella books, quoting them randomly throughout the day. I love it! I absolutely love it! she'll exclaim when you hand her a bowl of spaghetti. Or aww! But the library's so boorring! when you announce a trip to the grocery store. Or my favorite, when I'm stepping outside for a microsecond, like to grab the mail or retrieve a package from the porch, don't forget your lucky hat!
The good news is that memorizing books is allegedly an early sign of literacy. And that I can sit while she "reads" them to me night after night means I have more patience than many might believe.
None of that, however, helps me in her oft-repeated request for Zanzibar cake.
I saw something fun on Ohdeedoh recently about making a rainbow cake. It looked like a great idea, but I didn't bookmark it because the recipe itself was based on some WeightWatchers method of using a cake mix and Sprite Zero. I have some friends that are looking pretty spectacular on the WeWa Way right now, but I don't buy cake mix. And I certainly don't call Sprite Zero an ingredient.
There are some Truths I hold Self-Evident, and among them are Eggs, Sugar and Butter.
But! The rainbow idea itself was fantastic. So I pulled out one of my favorite vanilla cake recipes. It calls for a cup of white wine and since this is for the kiddies, I substitued apple juice. And then I forgot I was halving the recipe (because I didn't have the fortitude for a layer cake tonight), so I poured in twice as much juice as necessary. So to compensate I just threw in a bunch more sugar and flour and some extra baking powder without measuring anything so it's amazing that it came out like a cake at all.
If we make this again, I'm not going to use apple juice because I want a less-colored batter base for which to let loose my little sous chef with the food dyes. I'll also measure my ingredients. Eh, live and learn.
So, behold! Zanzibar is the new Rainbow!
And our little bibliophile with the elephant-sized sweet tooth was happy.
Edited to add: Follow the comment thread below-- a huge thanks to ace reader Larissa who found the *real* Ella the Elephant Zanzibar cake!

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Tablet Plus
Bel Ami
7-11 Rue St. Benoît, Saint Germain-des-Prés, Paris, France
Neighborhood: 6th Arr. (St-Germain/Luxembourg)
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Not at all what you'd expect of this town, in terms of style and design — the Bel Ami is all simple modernity, rather than fussy muséification, and the palette leans to the muted and earthy, almost Nordic, avoiding the rich crimsons and pinks on display in Parisian grand hotels. This sort of elegant simplicity is no accident — it's an integral part of the signature style of the Franco-Chinese hotelier Grace Leo-Andrieu, who directed the conversion of this one-time print works into one of Paris's first contemporary-styled boutique hotels.
Stylish and functional comfort is the philosophy, and the execution is just about pitch-perfect. Guest rooms are spare and minimal, designed to maximize contrast with the bustle of Parisian street life, and lull guests into tranquility with diffused lighting and a palette of caramel browns and soft greens and blues.
A suitably chic lobby lounge serves cocktails, and the Bel-Ami Cafe serves a buffet breakfast in a bright and sunny environment styled after a family kitchen. There's no restaurant, and little in the way of luxury-hotel extravagance; the Bel Ami is meant to be more pied à terre than pleasure palace, an entryway into the Saint Germain-des-Prés district rather than an urban hideout. You're welcome to lounge about all day, but most visitors are here to do the shops and galleries of the surrounding neighborhood, or at least daydream about writing that Great Expat Novel over coffee at the Deux Magots.

(Back row left to right) Tommy Leopard, Neal Keith, Julie Evan Pitts, Jeff Farley, and Mike Moody (Front row left to right) Robert Feezer, Nikki McCarthy, and Patti Guthrie were honored at the 2011 Medical Staff Holiday Party. |
Norman Regional Health System nurses were honored during the medical staff holiday party. For the first time, physicians nominated and voted on the awards given to the eight nurses selected as finalists. Those chosen received cash prizes between $250 and $2,500. The physicians donated the money for the awards to a special fund created in partnership with the Norman Regional Health Foundation. Any employee or physician can donate to this designated Nurse of the Year Award fund. The nursing awards were the idea of the newly developed physician focus group. The awards organizer was Dr. Lana Nelson. She said the NRHS physicians wanted to do something to let the nursing staff know the doctors appreciate all our nurses do. First place prize went to Julie Evan Pitts from the Oncology Unit at Norman Regional Hospital. She has been with the health system for 12 years. "As a nurse, we don't get a lot of praise. So to think that the physicians think that much of me means a ton. It also means I'll have to work twice as hard next year," is what Julie said when asked about winning the prize. Second place was awarded to registered nurse Nikki McCarthy of Women's and Children's at the HealthPlex. McCarthy has been with the health system for 14 years. "I feel very honored and humbled. This award was so unexpected. I want to thank the physicians for thinking of me in this way, I'm honored."
Third place honor went to Tommy Leopard from the Porter campus Emergency Department. "It's pretty humbling to think people have such a high opinion of you. I feel like I'm just an average nurse, I could think of many others that deserve it more than me," Tommy said when asked about his win.

Feline Fresh natural pine cat litter outperforms traditional clay and clumping clay litters in every way. The premium pine pellets are completely effective at eliminating litter box odor because pine neutralizes ammonia, leaving the litter box with a clean fresh scent.
Pelleted Feline Fresh is made of 100% pure, southern yellow pine pellets which instantly neutralizes ammonia odors and is safe and healthy for our cats and our planet.
Clumping Feline Fresh pine litter forms solid, flushable clumps that you can simply scoop out and flush away. It is completely effective at controlling all litter box odors.
Why Premium Pine Pellets?Feline Fresh Natural Pine Cat Litter utilizes a natural by-product of the lumber industry, Southern Pine wood remnants, and pelletizes the product for maximum performance.
Feline Fresh is safe and healthy for cats and kittens, safe to have in the home, and on our planet. It naturally inhibits bacteria growth and leaves the litter box with a clean, fresh scent.
Absorbs 4 Times More MoistureThe premium pine pellets absorb more odor-causing liquid than traditional cat litter. This means when the cat visits the litter box, the pine pellets absorb all liquid waste in seconds, delivering instant odor control.
Instant Odor ControlYou love your cat, but you also love for your house to smell fresh, without embarrassing litter box odors. Feline Fresh instantly neutralizes ammonia odors with its quick absorbing moisture pellets. It naturally inhibits bacteria growth as well.
Long Lasting & Low MaintenanceRemember those days you carried heavy bags, boxes and jugs of litter home from the store? Scooping big, heavy clumps out of the litter pans? Now you can enjoy the convenience of Feline Fresh. The premium pine pellets used in Feline Fresh are compact and efficient. To fill a small litter box with one inch of product you only need 3 1/2 pounds, which should last 2 weeks! If you have a larger litter pan, choose the 7 pound bag of Feline Fresh or the larger value size of 20 pounds if you have multiple cats or litter boxes.
Premium Pine PelletsFeline Fresh starts with 100% pure kiln-dried pine that is then processed into pellets. These premium pellets are sterile and free from any bacteria or pathogens. They are free of silica dust and will not stick to the fur or feet of your cat so you will not have any messy tracks throughout your home.
Environmentally FriendlyFeline Fresh premium pine pellets are made from 100% pure pine, non-toxic and completely safe for all pets and people, even if ingested. When you change your litter box you can dispose of the used litter (solid waste removed) into your compost pile or use it as mulch in the garden. PlanetWise Products utilizes 100% pine material that is a natural by-product of the lumber industry.

Comments about Feline Fresh Natural Pine Cat Litter:
I like the smell. I like that this litter doesn't track and that it's flushable. I've always used regular cat litter for my cat. He's a year and a half. My cat doesn't like the feel of the pellets. I was hoping that he would use it because he tracks litter everywhere. I tried mixing his old litter and the pellets in the same litter box to help him get used to it. I had to put just his regular litter in the litter box because he refused to use the pellets. He held his pee and poop for two days and got sick. I guess I just have to keep vacuuming every day.

Amazing Product
By Crazy Cat Lady
from Adrian, MI
I bought this for my mother the original "crazy cat lady". We love it! With 3 cats in her home it was starting to have a tell tale odor. The odor is gone and she loves that the litter does not track.

best ev er
By Lyndi
from Amherst, Ma
Best litter I have ever used. Was upset to find my original source no longer carried it. Delighted to find it here!
By Kathie
from Lee's Summit, MO
My 16 year old cat loves it, and I feel it's safer than clay with all the chemicals and added fragrances. The litter is lightweight and the clumps are easy to remove. Please keep making this product - and please don't change it (like another pine product did, causing it to become toxic to my cat and my home). Will use nothing but Feline Fresh from now on!
Scoopable Feline Fresh is the best
By The cat lady
from Bethlehem, PA
Not many stores carry this. I had to order online or drive a great distance to get it. I've had cats for approx. 60 years and this is the best. When you scoop, the clump stays clumped, does not fall apart and contaminate the rest of the clean litter. It makes my basement smell like a sawmill but the smell is not so strong that it irritates the cats. Have 3 cats now.

Good Buy
By Kay
from OC, NY
I bought this version of Pine litter because I needed a regular natural litter for my cats. I had read about the dangers of clay based clumping litters, so I started experimenting with different natural clumping litters. First let me say that I prefer clumping because it makes it possible for me to remove all pee and poo from my cats litter boxes...which I feel is more sanitary and healthy for them. I originally gave corncob litter a try, but read about bug and mold issues that come with food based litters (corn, wheat, walnut)...so I thought to try pine clumping and paper clumping litter.I bought this Feline Fresh pine litter as well as a bag of the Only Natural Pet's own version of pine litter. Please read the reviews and get this litter if you need a clumping natural pine litter. This one beats the ONP brand litter easily and in all areas.The Feline Fresh has a nice pice scent that isnt too strong and isnt too light. Its just right and keeps waste odors under control. It clumps very well and doesnt fall apart too easily during sifting...though I still recommend not being as rough with it as you might be with clay litter. Remember the chemicals in clay clumping litter is what makes it so easily pasty and hold together. Natural litters fall apart easier usually...but Feline Fresh holds together so much better than the ONP litter did (The Only Natural Pet litter fell apart as soon as I picked it up and left dirty litter in the box). And Feline Fresh holds together better than the corncob litter I had previously too.There is virtually no dust either, and the tracking is super low. Along with it not being too coarse, my cats dont seem bothered walking on it. Definitely recommended!

Rangers, Blue Jays look to turn it around after break
Struggling teams turn to top starters as Darvish, Dickey square off
The Rangers need change, so maybe the All-Star break is coming at the perfect time for them.
Texas has dropped 22 of its last 25 games and will look to turn things around when it starts a three-game set against the Blue Jays on Friday. Manager Ron Washington asked for his team's commitment during a team meeting last Thursday, despite major struggles.
"Commitment is doing what the game asks you to do and not looking for a reward for what you're doing," Washington said. "I'm in the process of getting this new bunch to understand what it means. Don't worry about stats or numbers. It's about the team. Some people need to check their attitude and check what commitment is."
R.A. Dickey will start for the Blue Jays. He will be followed in the rotation by Marcus Stroman, Mark Buehrle, Drew Hutchison and J.A. Happ. Dickey started the final game before the All-Star break as well, allowing two runs over six strong innings in a 3-0 loss to the Rays.
Yu Darvish will oppose Dickey and the Blue Jays. He's given up at least four earned runs in four of his last five starts.
"Just a little erratic. He usually finds himself on the course of the ballgame," Washington said. "There have been a couple of games there where he's been having trouble just trying to find the pitches he wanted to use as a combination."
Following the three-game series against the Rangers, Toronto will begin a crucial divisional stretch by playing four games against the Red Sox, three against the Yankees and three more against Boston.
The Blue Jays have limped into the break, losing seven of their last nine games. After Sunday's loss, they were 3 1/2 games behind the division-leading Orioles.
"We're in second place," outfielder Jose Bautista said. "We're obviously not playing the baseball that we started off playing and that we're capable of playing. We've had a lot of injuries to deal with.
"Bottom line is, we've got to figure out how to win some of these games that we've been losing, especially close ones. Hopefully we can manage to keep winning enough games to stay in one of the top two positions in our division, and when we get all our big bats back, kind of get back in the thick of things."
Blue Jays: Bautista back in right field
Bautista has been Toronto's designated hitter or first baseman for almost two weeks, but he made his return to right field on Sunday and will be there full-time moving forward. He went 1-for-4 in the loss.
A strained hamstring he sustained on June 23 forced Bautista to miss a week, but it wasn't bad enough to put him on the disabled list.
"Definitely feeling great physically; I wouldn't say 100 percent yet, but definitely been ready for the outfield for a couple of days now," Bautista said. "No restrictions, no limitations. I'm good."
Rangers: Mikolas will get another start after break
Miles Mikolas has been shaky in his first three starts this season, but he'll get a chance at redemption after the All-Star break.
The 25-year-old righty has allowed 16 earned runs in 14 1/3 innings this month. He made 16 appearances for Triple-A Round Rock this season after being traded twice last offseason -- first from San Diego to Pittsburgh, then from Pittsburgh to Texas. The Rangers called up Mikolas on July 1 and he made his first Major League start on July 2, giving up three runs and three hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Mikolas joined the Rangers' rotation after the club designated Joe Saunders for assignment.
Worth noting
• The Blue Jays have at least 49 wins at the break for the first time since 2006. That was the last time they had a winning record heading into the Midsummer Classic. The last time Toronto had 50 wins at the break was 1992, when the club won the World Series.
• Elvis Andrus has had six seasons with at least 20 steals, which is the most 20-steal seasons in Rangers history. He stole his 20th base of the season against the Angels on Saturday.

Concannon Vineyard Petite Sirah Selected s
Concannon Vineyard
- California
- United States
- Alameda County
- Livermore Valley
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

You are responsible for obtaining your study visa for Florence. Keep in mind that the Italian Consular Service offices are not affiliated with New York University. They are entities of the Italian national government that issue visas and perform other official functions, and they may create and/or change their requirements for obtaining a student visa at any time and without prior notification. Therefore, the steps below are meant as a general guide but it is your responsibility to follow the most up-to-date and accurate instructions as reflected on the Italian Consular Services official web sites.
It is an official stamp issued by the Italian government that gets affixed to a page inside your passport before you depart the United States. You must present it to immigration control when you arrive in Italy.
You must have a study visa because it is not legal to study as a full-time student in Florence without it.
