Abstract
Diffusion treatments may comprise the diffusion of interstitial elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, or boron into the surface from a gaseous or molten salt bath environment, or less commonly it may consist of substitutional diffusion of a previously deposited metal coating or by packing in materials such as ferromanganese or chromium with suitable additives.

Abstract
Titanium has certain properties that make it an ideal material to prevent wear; titanium alloys lend themselves to a versatility of mechanical properties by heat treatment. This should provide a sound tribological combination but, unfortunately, these materials can cause serious galling and fretting. The authors describe the properties of titanium and its alloys, methods of forming and lubricating them and possible methods of combatting wear. In the second part, in our next issue, they will deal with diffusion, electrodeposition, electroless deposition of metallic coatings, and other ways of preventing fretting. In both parts an extensive review of published literature is made and all bibliographical references will be included in our next issue.

Abstract
Aim of the present monograph is the economic analysis of the role of MNEs regarding globalisation and digital economy and in parallel there is a reference and examination of some legal aspects concerning MNEs, cyberspace and e‐commerce as the means of expression of the digital economy. The whole effort of the author is focused on the examination of various aspects of MNEs and their impact upon globalisation and vice versa and how and if we are moving towards a global digital economy.

Abstract
In King Henry VIII, Cardinal Wolsey, in his final speech of expiation, urges Cromwell to act honourably, arguing: ‘corruption wins not more than honesty’. Hopefully, the radical nature of this sentiment did not cause the historic burning of the Globe Theatre during the inaugural performances of the play. Just as Wolsey's recantation of his past sins and practices came a little too late with much too little, so American and, especially, international anti‐corruption efforts have been either nonexistent or, at the least, largely admonitory.
