Face milling is an important and common machining operation because of its versatility and capability to produce various surfaces. Face milling is a machining process of removing material by the relative motion between a work piece and rotating cutter with multiple cutting edges. It is an interrupted cutting operation in which the teeth of the milling cutter enter and exit the work piece during...

Every day scientists are developing new materials and for each new material, we need economical and efficient machining. Turning process is the one of the methods to remove material from cylindrical and non-cylindrical parts. Stainless steel is a widely used material in day to day applications. This paper deals with the optimization of turning process by the effects of machining parameters appl...

Taguchi orthogonal array design is a statistical approach that helps to overcome limitations associated with time consuming full factorial experimental design. In this study, the Taguchi orthogonal array design was applied to establish the optimum conditions for bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanocarrier (ANC) preparation. Taguchi method with L9 type of robust orthogonal array design was adopted to...

The task of decoupling, i.e., removing unwanted internal couplings of a quantum system and its couplings to an environment, plays an important role in quantum control theory. There are many efficient decoupling schemes based on combinatorial concepts such as orthogonal arrays, difference schemes, and Hadamard matrices. So far these combinatorial decoupling schemes have relied on the ability to ...

The objective of this work is to investigate the effects of current, pulse on time and pulse off time in Electro Discharge Machining performance on material removal rate and tool wear rate of Mg/SiCp metal matrix composites. In this work the Mg/SiCp metal matrix composite specimens were prepared by powder metallurgy route. ELEKTRA PLUS spark erosion machine was used for the purpose. Brass tool ...

A Latin square of order n is an n by n array in which every row and column is a permutation of a set N of n elements. Let L = [li,j ] and M = [mi,j ] be two Latin squares of even order n, based on the same N -set. Define the superposition of L onto M to be the n by n array A = (li,j ,mi,j). When n is even, L and M are said to be nearly orthogonal if the superposition of L onto M has every order...

Electrical discharging machining (EDM) has become an outstanding approach in the field of metal cutting especially for conductive metals. It’s very difficult to cut the conducting metals with the aid of traditional machining. The main object of the present work has to investigate the effects of various EDM input parameters like pulse on time (Ton) pulse off time (TOFF) as well as the influence ...

Genotyping of thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is recommended for predicting the adverse drug response of thiopurines. In the current study, a novel version of allele-specific PCR (AS-PCR), termed competitive real-time fluorescent AS-PCR (CRAS-PCR) was developed to analyze the TPMT*2 genotype in ethnic Chinese. This technique simultaneously uses wild-type and mutant allele-specific scorpio...

PURPOSE The latter stages of morphogenesis in the embryonic chick cornea are instrumental in the establishment of a properly formed corneal stroma. This study was designed to provide better appreciation of collagen reorganization in the avian corneal stroma during the latter stages of embryogenesis. METHODS High-angle synchrotron x-ray diffraction patterns were obtained from 47 developing chi...

A multi-response optimization problem was developed in search of an optimal parametric combination to yield favorable bead geometry of bead-on-plate weldments produced by submerged arc welding. Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal array design was employed to optimize the results within experimental limits. The objective functions were selected in terms of responses of bead geometry, viz. height of reinfor...
