Influence of Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Parameters in Aluminium 5083 Alloy
The present work deals with the identification of the best combination of welding parameters, in TIG welding of Aluminium alloy 5083. In this study two level full factorial experimental design is considered which consists of two factors and two levels. Inorder to avoid experimental errors two replications are performed for each experimental combination. The working ranges of welding parameters for conducting experiments are initially obtained by trial and from literature survey. After the experiment, various tests like Tensile test; Microhardness, Macrostructure and Microstructure study are conducted to the welded specimens. The analysis of the test results is conducted and the combination of welding parameter ranges that gives best result is found. This combination can be considered as good working ranges for TIG welding of Aluminium alloy 5083.
Effect of flux powder SiO 2 for the welding of 304-austenitic stainless steel using gas tungsten arc welding
Three input machine parameters namely current, welding speed and gas flow rate at three different levels have been considered in order to find out the influence of parameters on weld bead geometry, i.e. weld bead width, penetration and angular distortion. Taguchi method has been used in order to analyse the effect of various parameters on the weld geometry. Orthogonal array L9 has been applied for conduct in the experimentation. Based on the experimental data, the mathematical model has been developed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is found that TIG welding with flux powder SiO 2 increases the penetration and decreases the bead width, and tends to reduce angular distortion of the welds.

Code switching in Ahdaf Soueif's The Map of Love
This article examines the phenomenon of code switching in The Map of Love (1999) by the Egyptian—British writer Ahdaf Soueif. Though she chooses English as a medium for her creative expression, Soueif deploys Arabic in her narrative to represent different aspects of the linguistic and cultural norms of Egyptian society. The article's methodology is informed by Kachru's framework on contact literature and his categorization of the occurrence of literary code switching or bilingual creativity into different strategies that encompass cultural and linguistic processes. The results indicate the predominance in The Map of Love of the discourse strategies of employing lexical borrowing, culture-bound references and translational transfer. Finally, the article analyzes the functional motivation of code switching in the postcolonial context of the novel and how the use of certain creative strategies might enhance or diminish the narrative's effectiveness and readability.
