The deformation of aeronautical monolithic components due to CNC machining is a bottle-neck issue in the aviation industry. The residual stress releases and redistributes in the process of material removal, and the distortion of the monolithic component is generated. The traditional one-side machining method will produce oversize deformation. Based on the three-stage CNC machining method, the q...

Agreement graphs and data dependencies " (1988). Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. Paper 8787. The most advanced technology has been used to photo­ graph and reproduce this manuscript from the microfilm master. UMI films the original text directly from the copy submitted. Thus, some dissertation copies are in typewriter face, while others may be from a computer printer. In the unlikely ev...

The Skagit County Resource Recovery Facility (SCRRF) was developed in the mid-1980s to combust all of the county's unrecycled garbage. The design, con­ struction and operation of this project is the first of three waste-to-energy projects (along with Spokane and Tacoma) developed in the State of Washington. Their successful development in the shadows of the highly touted Seattle recycling effor...

In this article, we describe specific constraints of vision systems that are dedicated to be embedded in mobile robots. If PC based hardware architecture is convenient in this field because of its versatility, its flexibility, its performance and its cost, current real-time operating systems are not completely adapted to long processings with varying duration, and it is often necessary to overs...

In-vitro, stentless valves have a larger effective orifice area than their stented counterparts. This is best exemplified by the fact that a 25-mm Mosaic valve, which is stented, is manufactured using a 23-mm Freestyle stentless valve. So, in order to end-up with similar effective orifice areas when implanting a stentless valve or a stented valve in the same size left ventricular outflow tract,...

The aim of this research work was to investigate on the ball filling estimation of Miduk semi-autogenous (SAG) Mill via an utilized method. Miduk copper concentrator is located in Kerman Province, Iran, and its size reduction stage includes one gyratory crusher which feeds one SAG mill (9.75 dia.(m)*3.88 length(m)) following two parallel ball mills (5dia.(m)*7lenght(m)). After SAG mill, a tromm...

The objective was to evaluate development of cloned embryos constructed with serum-starved versus fed ovarian granulosa cells. Fusion of somatic cells with cytoplasts (50.7 and 50.7%; SEM=5.5), development of cloned embryos to 8-16-cell (59.4 and 62.6%; SEM=6.4), and compact morula/blastocyst-stages (24.9 and 26.5%; SEM=8.5) was similar for serum-starved and fed groups. More heifers were confir...

Although it is common practice to use hematoxylin as the source of dye, it is not itself the actual dye and it has to be oxidized to hematein, which is a dye, before it can be used. This process is called ripening, and can be accomplished in two distinct ways. The ripening is usually accomplished with chemical oxidizing agents, but is sometimes accomplished by atmospheric oxygen over time. Hema...
