Laser assisted machining is an alternative to conventional machining of hard and/or difficult-to-process materials which involves pre-heating of a focused area with a laser beam over the surface of the workpiece to cause localized thermal softening along the path of the cutting action. The main advantage that laser assisted machining has over conventional machining is the increased material rem...

The applicationof electroplated diamond in ultrasonic vibration-assisted grinding can be a candidate to replace the manual mirror finishing of stainless-steel surface and ability characterize tool work surfaces is important for understanding tool-work interaction during process. In this study, an on stainless steel using performed diagnostic. experiment used constant machining parameters, leavi...

Eagle's syndrome is often associated with elongated styloid process or ossified stylohyoid or stylomandibular ligament. Patients with this syndrome present with recurrent cervicofacial pain. Surgical removal of the elongated styloid process is a standard treatment and can be accomplished through either a transoral or extraoral approach. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and the...

A highly efficient and scalable microwave assisted synthesis of zirconium-based metal-organic framework UiO-66 was developed. In order to identify the best conditions for optimizing the process, a wide range of parameters was investigated. The efficiency of the process was evaluated with the aid of four quantitative indicators. The properties of the materials prepared by microwave irradiation w...

The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...

PURPOSE Residential care/assisted living describes diverse facilities providing non-nursing home care to a heterogeneous group of primarily elderly residents. This article derives typologies of assisted living based on theoretically and practically grounded evidence. DESIGN AND METHODS We obtained data from the Collaborative Studies of Long-Term Care, which examined 193 assisted living facili...

This paper presents a chain of model transformations to guide and support the application of the INGENIAS development process. The MTGenerator tool generates these transformations with a Model Transformation By-Example approach, that is, automatically from pairs of model prototypes. The MTGenerator has the advantage over similar approaches and tools of being able to generate many-to-many transf...
