Honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. This process is used for final polish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. Optimizing this process has always been a big challenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. Honing process has some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested. In thi...

The list of contents (see below) is written by an English hand, presumably at the Royal Dispensary in London, while hurried notes in Gothic script have been added, most probably by Dr. Erichsen himself. Many of the original contents are still present, and they include most of the things usually found in chests of this type. Some items, however, were probably specially selected by Dr. Erichsen, ...

We consider abstract-argumentation-theoretic coalition formability in this work. Taking a model in political alliance among political parties, we will contemplate profitability, and then formability, of a coalition. As is commonly understood, a group forms a coalition with another group for a greater good, the goodness measured against some criteria. As is also commonly understood, however, a c...

Aluminum and magnesium alloys are of materials for decreasing vehicle weight and consequently reducing fuel consumption. However, forming limitations regarding their low formability at room temperature are found when being manufactured by conventional forming processes. For this reason, development of new forming techniques, such as warm tube hydroforming, is needed to overcome such limitations...
