Stone–Wales defect

A Stone–Wales defect is a crystallographic defect that involves the change of connectivity of two π-bonded carbon atoms, leading to their rotation by 90° with respect to the midpoint of their bond. The reaction commonly involves conversion between a naphthalene-like structure into a fulvalene-like structure, that is, two rings that share an edge vs two separate rings that have vertices bonded to each other.

The reaction occurs on carbon nanotubes, graphene, and similar carbon frameworks, where the four adjacent six-membered rings of a pyrene-like region are changed into two five-membered rings and two seven-membered rings when the bond uniting two of the adjacent rings rotates. In these materials, the rearrangement is thought to have important implications for the thermal, chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties. The rearrangement is an example of a pyracyclene rearrangement.

History 
The defect is named after Anthony Stone and David J. Wales at the University of Cambridge, who described it in a 1986 paper on the isomerization of fullerenes. However, a similar defect was described much earlier by G. J. Dienes in 1952 in a paper on diffusion mechanisms in graphite   and later in 1969 in a paper on defects in graphite by Peter Thrower. For this reason, the term Stone–Thrower–Wales defect is sometimes used.

Structural effects 
The defects have been imaged using scanning tunneling microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and can be determined using various vibrational spectroscopy techniques.

It has been proposed that the coalescence process of fullerenes or carbon nanotubes may occur through a sequence of such a rearrangements. The defect is thought to be responsible for nanoscale plasticity and the brittle–ductile transitions in carbon nanotubes.

Chemical details 
The activation energy for the simple atomic motion that gives the bond-rotation apparent in a Stone–Wales defects is fairly high—a barrier of several electronvolts. but various processes can create the defects at substantially lower energies than might be expected.

The rearrangement creates a structure with less resonance stabilization among the sp2 atoms involved and higher strain energy in the local structure. As a result, the defect creates a region with greater chemical reactivity, including acting as a nucleophile and creating a preferred site for binding to hydrogen atoms. The high affinity of these defects for hydrogen, coupled with the large surface area of the bulk material, might make these defects an important aspect in the use of carbon nanomaterials for hydrogen storage. Incorporation of defects along a carbon-nanotube network can program a carbon-nanotube circuit to enhance the conductance along a specific path. In this scenario, the defects lead to a charge delocalization, which redirects an incoming electron down a given trajectory.

British NVC community SM1

British NVC community SM1 (Zostera communities) is one of the salt-marsh communities in the British National Vegetation Classification system.

This community is found very widely around Britain's coastline. There are no subcommunities, although stands of this community can be ascribed to one of three types based on the species present.

Community composition

The following constant species are found in this community, one in each type of stand:
 Eelgrass (Zostera marina)
 Narrow-leaved Eelgrass (Zostera angustifolia)
 Dwarf Eelgrass (Zostera noltei)

No rare species are associated with the community.

Distribution

This community is found widely around most of Britain's coastline, although stands of Zostera noltei and Zostera angustifolia are absent from the English west coast. Stands of Zostera marina are particularly frequent in western Scotland.

Yusuf Khan and Sherbano

Yusuf Khan and Sherbano is a famous Pashtun amorous folktale. Its format is an extended narrative described as qissa or dastan. It is listed along with Adam Khan and Durkhanai, Ramadad Khan, and Ajab Khan as one of the important Pashto dastans which are available as chapbooks or in audio formats. The tale has also been termed as the Pukhtun version of Romeo and Juliet.

Development 
The story of Yusuf Khan and Sherbano was put to verse by poet Ali Haidar Joshi (Joshi was a pen name) in the 1960s and was turned into a film, Yousuf Khan Sher Bano, released in 1970. The poem was translated into French by Benedict Johnson (in 1982) and into English by Heston and Nasir (in 1988). The story is transmitted by qissa-khwans, a term usually translated as "storytellers" who "say" or "sing" (Wayel) the verses. Joshi's account of the origin of the material is that he found a manuscript containing the story written in Persian at a local fair wrapped around some medicine. He returned to the seller and got more of the manuscript. Joshi's account is given in a Lok Virsa tape recorded by Mumtaz Nasir in 1982.

Content 
The story has supernatural elements, such as five holy men (pirs) who give the heroine the ability to travel large distance in thirty steps, jinns who bring a woman and a bed to a mosque at night for the pleasure of a yogi. These elements suggest an influence to the story from outside the Pashtun culture. However, the social structures in the story, particularly the use as villains of paternal male cousins is typical to Pashtun stories, and many Pashtuns of various social classes identify the story as one of their own, according to ethnologist Wilma L. Heston.

Film adaptation

The tale was adapted into a 1970 Pashto film, Yousuf Khan Sher Bano, produced by Nazir Hussain and directed by Aziz Tabassum. It is considered to be the first Pakistani Pashto film, and marked the start of the Pashto film industry.

West Essex (UK Parliament constituency)

West Essex, formally known as the West Division of Essex was a parliamentary constituency in the English county of Essex.  From 1868 to 1885, it returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, using the bloc vote system of election.

History and boundaries
West Essex was created by the Reform Act 1867 for the 1868 general election as one of three two-member divisions of Essex (East, South and West), replacing the two divisions which had been created by the Reform Act 1832 (Northern and Southern). Initially named as the North West Division, it was renamed the West Division under the Boundaries Act 1868. The seat was created from parts of both South Essex and North Essex.

The boundaries were defined as:

 The Hundreds of Freshwell, Uttlesford, Clavering, Dunmow, Harlow, Waltham, Ongar, and Chelmsford.

The first four of these hundreds had been part of the abolished Northern division, with the remainder transferred from the Southern Division.

See map on Vision of Britain website.

Under the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, the three two-member divisions of Essex were abolished and replaced by eight single-member divisions. West Essex was replaced by the Epping Division and parts of the Saffron Walden and Chelmsford Divisions.

Members of Parliament
The constituency was represented throughout its existence by the same two MPs, both of whom were Conservatives.

Election results 

The only contested election in Western Essex was in 1880, when the former King's Lynn MP Sir Thomas Buxton failed to win a seat for the Liberal Party.

Harold Seidman

Harold Seidman (July 2, 1911 – August 20, 2002) was an American political scientist who is best known for a classic work in government studies and public administration: Politics, Position and Power: The Dynamics of Federal Organization, now in its fifth edition. He was a well-known expert in US federal bureaucracy and the organization of quasi-public corporations.

Biography 
Seidman was born in Brooklyn, New York, and attended Poly Prep Country Day School. He graduated from Brown University with both his Bachelor of Arts (1934) and Master of Arts (1935) degrees in political science. While at Brown he worked summers on the editorial staff of The Nation. In 1943, he received a PhD in government from Yale University.

From 1938 to 1943, Seidman worked as director of research for the New York City Department of Investigation under Thomas E. Dewey and William Bernard Herlands. He organized a college student internship program and conducted investigations.

From 1943 to 1968, Seidman worked for the U.S. Bureau of the Budget. He started out as a management analyst and rose to become chief of the Government Organization Branch in 1961 and Assistant Director of Management and Organization in 1964. He was involved in the creation of the Marshall Plan and Alaska's and Hawaii's bids for statehood. In retirement, he consulted for the government, serving on President Richard Nixon's Ash Council on Executive Office Reorganization.

After retiring from the civil service, Seidman worked as a professor of political science at the University of Connecticut from 1971 to 1984. He was also a research fellow, visiting lecturer, and visiting professor at the University of Leeds (1971–1975). After retiring from UConn, he spent three years as a guest scholar at the Brookings Institution. He was subsequently a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins University Center for the Study of American Government from 1987 until his death in 2002.

Seidman wrote numerous articles and two books influential in the field of public administration. He wrote Labor Czars: A History of Labor Racketeering (1938) and Politics, Position, and Power: The Dynamics of Federal Organization (1970).

Seidman received the American Society for Public Administration's Keeper of the Flame Award in 2001. He was a member of the Cosmos Club. He never married and had no children.

Bill Battle

William Raines Battle III (born December 8, 1941) is an American former college athletics administrator and football coach.  He was the athletic director of the University of Alabama from 2013 to 2017.  He was appointed by University President Judy L. Bonner and approved by the board of trustees March 22, 2013.  He succeeded long-time director Mal Moore, who stepped down for health reasons at age 73.

Career
Battle was formerly a licensing executive and a college football player and coach.  He was the head football coach at the University of Tennessee from 1970 to 1976.  At the time he began as head coach, he was at 29 the youngest college head coach in the country.  A native of Birmingham, Alabama and a graduate of the University of Alabama, Battle was one of many of Bear Bryant's former players and assistant coaches who would later become head coaches.

Despite a 59–22–2 record in seven seasons in Knoxville in an era in which Alabama dominated the Southeastern Conference and annually contended for the national championship, Battle was forced out after the 1976 season, allowing Volunteer legend Johnny Majors to return to his alma mater after leading Pittsburgh to the 1976 national championship.

Battle is the founder and chairman of The Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC). In 1981, while working for Golden Eagle Enterprises in Selma, Alabama, Battle signed Paul "Bear" Bryant to a licensing agreement. The University of Alabama signed on as CLC's first university client. In 1983, Battle moved the newly formed company to Atlanta, Georgia.

Battle is also a member of the group that votes in the Harris Interactive College Football Poll.

Personal life
Battle was born in Birmingham, Alabama. Battle's father, William Raines "Bill" Battle Jr., was athletic director at Birmingham–Southern College from 1952 to 1974. His grandfather William Raines Battle was a Methodist minister. Battle was also inducted into Omicron Delta Kappa - the National Leadership Honor Society at the University of Alabama in 1962.

Spanish mystics

The Spanish mystics are major figures in the Catholic Reformation of 16th and 17th century Spain.  The goal of this movement was to reform the Church structurally and to renew it spiritually.  The Spanish Mystics attempted to express in words their experience of a mystical communion with Christ.

Language and writing style 
These writers had a strong influence on the development of the Spanish Language and were said to have ushered in the "Golden Age of Spanish Literature."  At the beginning of the time period, the language was viewed as coarse; by the end, the language had achieved what is called "the high baroque style of Spanish," which in certain forms (especially in formal letter-writing) continues to influence Spanish usage to the present.

In addition to being examples of Christian holiness and major Spanish literary figures, the Spanish Mystics were also real reformers in the Church.  Their writings inspired a religious quest for God based on desire rather than obligation and medieval legalism, and three of them went on to found or reform religious orders that would carry on their work across continents and centuries.

Séamus Healy

Séamus Healy (born 9 August 1950) is an Irish former independent politician who served as a Teachta Dála (TD) from 2000 to 2007 and 2011 to 2020.

He is part of the Clonmel-based Workers and Unemployed Action (WUA) which had a number of local representatives on South Tipperary County Council and Clonmel Borough Council. He is a former member of the League for a Workers Republic.

A former hospital administrator, Healy was first elected to Clonmel Borough Council in 1985. He was elected to the 28th Dáil at a by-election on 22 June 2000. He was re-elected at the 2002 general election, but lost his seat at the 2007 general election to Martin Mansergh of Fianna Fáil. After losing his Dáil seat, he returned to serve as a South Tipperary County Councillor for the Clonmel local electoral area, being co-opted for Pat English, after which he was appointed to various committees such as the local Vocational Education Committee, promotion of the Irish language and various water supply committees.

Healy was re-elected to South Tipperary County Council at the 2009 local elections.

He won back his seat at the 2011 general election with 21.3 per cent of the first preference vote.

On 15 December 2011, he helped launch a nationwide campaign against the household charge being brought in as part of the 2012 Irish budget.

He stood for re-election to the new Tipperary constituency as an Independent in the 2016 general election, and was elected on the seventh count. He voted for both Gerry Adams and Richard Boyd Barrett for Taoiseach when the 32nd Dáil first met.

Healy's brother Paddy Healy served as president of the Teachers' Union of Ireland and ran unsuccessfully in the Seanad elections in 2007 and 2011 for the NUI panel, and in the 1980s ran in the Dublin North-East constituency as an Anti H-Block candidate. He works as a voluntary researcher for Seamus.

Healy lost his seat at the 2020 general election.

MV Duc de Normandie

MV Duc de Normandie was a passenger car ferry built in 1978 as the Prinses Beatrix. She subsequently operated under the names Wisteria, Vronskiy and Damla.

History
She was built in 1978 as the Prinses Beatrix by Verolme Shipyard, in Heusden, the Netherlands and worked for Stoomvaart Maatschappij Zeeland on its joint Sealink route between Hook of Holland and Harwich, Parkeston Quay. She was named and launched by Princess Beatrix on 14 January 1978. Brittany Ferries bought the vessel on 1 October 1985 and, after chartering the vessel for a year back to SMZ, renamed her Duc de Normandie, operating between Portsmouth and Ouistreham from 5 June 1986. The ferry sailed alongside  on its favoured route to Ouistreham. On 10 July 2002, she was transferred to the Plymouth-Roscoff route, replacing the .  She ended her Brittany Ferries career on this route, her final sailing being on 30 September 2004.

Brittany Ferries sold her in 2005 to TransEuropa Ferries, operating between Port of Ramsgate and Ostend under the name Wisteria. In 2006 she was chartered to Ferrimaroc and Acciona Trasmeditarranea for use on their Almeria (Spain) to Nador (Morocco) route.

The vessel sailed on the Nador-Almeria route until September 2013 under the name Vronskiy, where it had operated till 2008 during the summer-season while Transeuropa Ferries operated it on the Oostend-Ramsgate route during the rest of the year. Until 2013 the owner of the ship was Wisteria Hawthorn Shipping but after TEF went bankrupt in April 2013 it was sold to Nizhniy Shipping, which renamed it Vronskiy, although the existing charter to Acciona was continued. The Vronskiy then operated on the route Algeciras–Tanger except during the high-summer season when she operated the Nador-Almeria route.

In the media 

Prinses Beatrix is visible during the opening credits of the first series of the British comedy-drama Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

Procynosuchus

Procynosuchus (Greek: "Before dog crocodile") is an extinct genus of cynodonts from the Late Permian. It is considered to be one of the earliest and most basal cynodonts. It was 60 cm (2 ft) long.

Remains of Procynosuchus have been found in Russia, Germany, Zambia and South Africa.

Paleobiology

As one of the earliest cynodonts, Procynosuchus has many primitive features, but it also has features that distinguish it from all other early therapsids. Some of these features were interpreted by Kemp (1980) as adaptations for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. For example, the wide zygapophyses of the vertebrae allow for a high degree of lateral flexibility, and Procynosuchus may have used anguilliform locomotion, or eel-like undulation, to swim through the water. The tail of Procynosuchus is also unusually long for a cynodont. The long haemal arches would have given the tail a large lateral surface area for greater propulsion through the water. Relatively flat foot bones may also have been an adaptation toward swimming, as the feet may have been used like paddles. Ridges on the femur are an indication of strong flexor muscles that could have stabilized the leg during limb-driven swimming. When the thigh is pulled back in the water, the lower leg tends to bend forward. Strong flexor muscles would have pulled the lower leg back with the femur, providing the powerful backward thrust that is needed to swim.

Discovery
 
Procynosuchus was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1937. Broom also named the cynodont Cyrbasiodon in 1931. Another genus, Parathrinaxodon, was named by Parrington in 1936. These genera are now regarded as synonyms of Procynosuchus, as they represent the same animal. Under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), these two names take precedence over Procynosuchus because they were erected earlier. The names Cyrbasiodon and Parathrinaxodon were rarely used after their erection, while the name Procynosuchus has since become widespread in scientific literature. In a case brought to the ICZN in 2009, some scientists proposed that Procynosuchus should be a nomen conservandum, or conserved name, making Cyrbasiodon and Parathrinaxodon nomina rejecta, or rejected names. In 2010, the ICZN formally made Procynosuchus a nomen conservandum.

Stamford station (New York)

Stamford station, MP 74.0, was another important railroad station on the mainline of the Ulster and Delaware Railroad. The town it served, Stamford, New York, was home to the Stamford Country Club and the elegant Churchill Hall, and was, not surprisingly, a popular tourist stop, especially for people coming up from New York City. There were more hotels, apart from the Churchill Hall, along with many boarding houses.

The New York Central Railroad acquired the railroad line on February 1, 1932, under pressure by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The company continued passenger service passenger service on the mainline of the U&D until March 31, 1954. This station, like many others, was left to fall-apart after passenger service ended. It was in sorry shape until the Catskill Revitalization Corporation came and restored it. It is now in perfect condition and is used as the headquarters of the CRC.

R. C. Buford

Robert Canterbury Buford (born May 16, 1960) is an American basketball executive, currently CEO of the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He was named general manager in 2002 after five seasons serving as team president. Buford is also the president of sports franchises for Spurs Sports & Entertainment. Buford has won the NBA Executive of the Year award twice, for the 2013–14 and 2015–16 seasons, before his promotion to CEO before the start of the 2019–20 season.

Early career
Buford played college basketball at Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, though he had a limited career. He received his degree from Friends University. Prior to joining the Spurs in 1988, Buford spent five seasons at the University of Kansas and was a member of the coaching staff when the Jayhawks won the 1988 NCAA Championship.

NBA executive career
Buford first joined the Spurs in the summer of 1988 as an assistant coach on Larry Brown's staff. He spent four seasons as an assistant with the Spurs, including the 1989–90 and 1990–91 seasons when the team captured back-to-back Midwest Division titles. In the summer of 1992, he became the number-one assistant for Brown with the Los Angeles Clippers. He spent one season with the Clippers before moving to the University of Florida for the 1993–94 season.

Spurs general manager Gregg Popovich then hired Buford as the Spurs' head scout in the summer of 1994 and he has been with the team since that time. In the summer of 1997 he was named the Spurs' director of scouting, and then two years later in 1999 was promoted to the position of assistant general manager. He was named general manager in 2002.

Buford has won five NBA championships with the Spurs (1999, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2014), four as general manager (2003, 2005, 2007, 2014).

Buford won the 2013–14 NBA Basketball Executive of the Year award on May 7, 2014, and later won the same honor for the 2015–16 season.

On July 23, 2019, the Spurs announced Buford will be promoted from general manager to CEO for the Spurs, effective September 3. His previous role will be filled by assistant general manager Brian Wright.

Personal life
His son Chase played basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks and now is the head coach of the NBL team, the Sydney Kings. His daughter C.C., who played golf for the College of Charleston, now coaches at East Carolina University.

Long-running transaction

Long-running transactions (also known as the saga interaction pattern) are computer database transactions that avoid locks on non-local resources, use compensation to handle failures, potentially aggregate smaller ACID transactions (also referred to as atomic transactions), and typically use a coordinator to complete or abort the transaction. In contrast to rollback in ACID transactions, compensation restores the original state, or an equivalent, and is business-specific. For example, the compensating action for making a hotel reservation is canceling that reservation.

The number of protocols have been specified for long-running transactions using Web services within business processes. OASIS Business Transaction Processing and WS-CAF are examples. These protocols use a coordinator to mediate the successful completion or use of compensation in a long-running transaction.

Puritan Passions

Puritan Passions is a 1923 silent film directed by Frank Tuttle, based on Percy MacKaye's 1908 play The Scarecrow, which was itself based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Feathertop". The film stars Glenn Hunter, Mary Astor, and stage actor Osgood Perkins. It follows the play faithfully, except that Osgood Perkins' character is called Dickon in the play and Dr. Nicholas in the movie, and Justice Gilead Merton is renamed Justice Gilead Wingate in the film. It is the only theatrical film version – so far – of Percy MacKaye's play, though there were previously two silent film versions of Hawthorne's original story.

Plot
Goody Rickby is impregnated by the wealthy Gilead Wingate, after which he refuses to accept the responsibility of fatherhood. Goody decides to use black magic to get revenge on Wingate. She succeeds in summoning Satan before her, and together they concoct a scheme to punish the man who wronged her. Satan creates a living being from a scarecrow and the creature adopts the human identity of "Lord Ravensbane" so that he can function unsuspected in society. Satan instructs his creature to seduce Wingate's niece Rachel and fool the villagers into believing the Wingates are all witches. Ravensbane develops emotions and a soul, however, and genuinely falls in love with the young lady, foiling the Devil's plans.

Osgood Perkins - Dr. Nicholas

Chacarita, Buenos Aires

Chacarita is a barrio or neighborhood in the north-central part of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Located between Colegiales, Palermo, Villa Crespo, La Paternal and Villa Ortúzar, this is a quiet neighbourhood with tree-lined streets, a combination of vintage rowhouses and apartment buildings. Locally, it's probably best known for the 95 hectare (234.75 acre) Chacarita Cemetery.

History

The territories of this district belonged formerly to the Jesuits, who had small farms. Its name comes from the word "small farm" or chácara in old Spanish. Following the Suppression of the Jesuits in 1767, they were expelled and all their goods were declared property of the Crown.

One of the few and most important remaining residences from the era is that of the Comastri family, which at the moment is the Escuela Nacional de Educación Técnica N° 34.

The area's principal park is Los Andes, which was inaugurated in 1941. Chacarita is the namesake for both the Chacarita Cemetery and the Chacarita Juniors football club.  The meeting place of the neighbourhood is the “Club Chacarita Juniors”.

Transportation

Numerous important avenues and rail lines traverse the Chacarita district, among them the Urquiza and San Martín railway lines, and Elcano, Del Campo, Garmendía, Warnes, Dorrego, Álvarez Thomas and Córdoba Avenues. Jorge Newbery Avenue is characterized for being the only way funeral cars are allowed to go towards the cemetery, the main entrance of which is on Avenida Guzmán.

Federico Lacroze Station commuter rail terminal, which handles local and long-distance services, is also located in Chacarita.

WLVE

WLVE (105.3 MHz) is a non-commercial radio station licensed to Mukwonago, Wisconsin, and serving the Greater Milwaukee radio market.  The station is owned by the Educational Media Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Franklin, Tennessee.  WLVE began airing the "K-Love" network's Christian Contemporary radio format on February 15, 2008. 

WLVE is a Class A FM station.  It has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,650 watts.  The transmitter is off Beeheim Road in Waukesha.Radio-Locator.com/WLVE

History
The station signed on the air on .  The original call sign was WFZH.  After going on the air in late November, it began with a Christmas music format.  Just after Christmas, the station switched to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) as "105.3 The Fish."  WFZH was owned by Salem Communications, the largest Christian broadcaster in the United States.  It shared studio space and staff with its sister station, 540 WRRD-AM, a Christian talk and teaching outlet.

Danny Clayton was hired as the first (and only) program director for WFZH, having previously spent his Milwaukee radio career at Adult Contemporary-formatted WKTI 94.5.  Other original staff members included Milwaukee radio veteran Andi Miller.  Personalities who later joined "The Fish" included Jon Hemmer (currently WMBI, Chicago) and Rick Hall, host at SOS Radio Networks.

For a time, WFZH had a friendly rivalry with co-owned "WZFS 106.7 The Fish" in Chicago, which included a paintball game between the stations' employees. This rivalry lasted until the Chicago station was sold to Univision Communications in 2005 and WZFS became Spanish language AC station WPPN.

In February 2008, Salem sold both stations in separate deals. WRRD was purchased by Good Karma Broadcasting, which moved the ESPN Radio all-sports format from 1510 to 540 as WAUK. WFZH remained with Contemporary Christian Music.  But its sale to the Educational Media Foundation led to a change from local programming to EMF's K-Love national network.  This took effect after midnight on February 15, 2008, following 2 days of on-air farewells from the "Fish" staff. On May 30, the call letters changed to WKMZ.

On April 29, 2011, WKMZ changed its call sign to WLVE to go with the "K-Love" branding. The call letters, which had been warehoused at the current day WXVA in Winchester, Virginia, and had been used for their longest period on what is now WMIA-FM in Miami from 1984 until 2009.

Around October 12, 2020, the hourly station identification was given as "105.3 WLVE Mukwonago-Milwaukee and 97.9 WCKL Chicago."

Joseph I. Goldstein

Joseph Irwin Goldstein (January 6, 1939 – June 27, 2015) was an American scientist and engineer, working mainly in the fields of materials science and mechanical engineering. He was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and emeritus Dean of Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research into the nature of outer-space materials led to the naming of an asteroid after him in 2000, 4989 Joegoldstein. 

His early research was at MIT, where he received a B.S. in 1960, an S.M. in 1962 and an Sc.D. in 1964.

From 1964 to 1983, Goldstein was a professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. During a sabbatical year in 1975, Goldstein discovered that analytical electron microscopy could resolve the solute profiles in synthetic meteoritic materials. He used the technique of AEM to supplement his extensive Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques. He initiated the Lehigh University Summer Microscopy School in 1970 and these continue today, teaching both SEM and AEM microprobe techniques.  Goldstein was the lead author, in collaboration with several fellow LUSMS faculty members, of four editions of Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-Ray Microanalysis.  The text is used worldwide in  electron microscopy seminars and graduate courses.

In 1983, Goldstein became Vice President for Graduate Studies and Research at Lehigh.

In 1990, Goldstein moved to UMass to become Dean of Engineering, a position he held until 2004.

In 1999 he received the Henry Clifton Sorby Award of the  International Metallographic Society.

The asteroid 4989 Joegoldstein was named after Goldstein in 2000 by Schelte J. Bus, who had discovered the asteroid in 1981 at the Anglo-Australian Telescope. It was named in honor of Goldstein because of his outstanding contributions to the science of meteoritics.

In 2005 he received the highest award of the Meteoritical Society, the Leonard Medal, for work on metal, phosphide, carbide, and sulphide in meteorites and lunar rocks; the formation of the Widmanstätten pattern and the determination of cooling rates in irons, stony-irons, and chondrites; the nature of
plessite and martensite formation; and determinations of phase diagrams for the Fe-Ni, Fe-Ni-P, Fe-Ni-Co, Fe-Ni-C, and Fe-Ni-S systems
