... the UAB [University of Alabama at Birmingham] team probed deeper into the welding process and made a fundamental metallurgical discovery-constitutional liquid film migration-a phenomenon that Dr. Thompson says would not have been found without the Gleeble. In the 1980's, researchers working in solid state electronic devices discovered diffusion-induced grain boundary migration, in which diffusion of elements from the top layer of a device would cause the grain boundaries to move in unpredictable directions. Five years later, other investigators found that running a liquid along the grain boundary could also cause it to move. Then, in the course of their NASA-related research, Dr. Thompson and his colleagues discovered that liquid film migration of grain boundaries occurred naturally during welding as the result of precipitates liquating in the heat affected zone. The UAB team further found that the migration distance was an order of magnitude greater than previously observed and that new grains were actually formed during the process. Spurred on by this discovery, the UAB researchers looked at real-world welding processes and found that constitutional liquid film migration could be found there too. 1, record 6, English, - liquid%20film%20migration%20of%20grain%20boundaries

Mullen(2000) describes her model of collaborative mentoring as different from traditional mentoring. Typically, when dealing with university faculty and school faculty, one is grounded in theory and the other in practice. The collaborative model provided a process to integrate educational theory and practice by providing for secondary and peer mentors and facilitating team-oriented projects.... Collaborative mentoring is a way of bridging the distance between educational theory and practice, provided the mentors focus on dialogue and reflection as opposed to merely providing emotional support to pre-service teachers. 1, record 12, English, - collaborative%20mentoring
