with impervious exteriors, such as shells or chitinous exoskeletons. Advantages to this method are high throughput, high success rate and enough template DNA for several different assays (FRE-PCR used only 5 μL of the 20-μL supernatant). Other extraction methods that were tried and discarded for low success rates included boiling in water or PCR buffer, grinding before boiling, grinding with co...

Grinding is a complex material removal process with a large number of parameters influencing each other. In the process, the grinding wheel surface contacts the workpiece at high speed and under high pressure. The complexity of the process lies in the multiple microscopic interaction modes in the wheel-workpiece contact zone, including cutting, plowing, sliding, chip/workpiece friction, chip/bo...

The cogrinding technique is one of most effective methods for improving the dissolution of poorly water-soluble drugs and it is superior to other approaches from an economical as well as an environmental standpoint, as the technique does not require any toxic organic solvents. Present work explores the role of d-glucosamine HCl (GL) as a potential excipient to improve dissolution of a low melti...

In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were successfully isolated from coconut palm petiole residues falling off naturally with chemical pretreatments and mechanical treatments by a grinder and a homogenizor. FTIR spectra analysis showed that most of hemicellulose and lignin were removed from the fiber after chemical pretreatments. The compositions of CNFS indicated that high purity of nan...

Achieving high-efficiency and accurate detection of tea shoots in fields is essential for robotic plucking. A real-time shoot method using the channel layer pruned YOLOv3-SPP deep learning algorithm was proposed this study. First, images were collected data augmentation performed to increase sample diversity, then a spatial pyramid pooling module added YOLOv3 model detect shoots. To simplify im...

As a high-performance and difficult-to-machine material for the manufacture of blades, titanium alloys are increasingly being used in high-end manufacturing industries such as aerospace aircraft. engineering applications become more demanding, so do requirements precision. However, to date, choice blade grinding parameters is still mainly dependent on traditional “trial cut” “experience” method...

Abstract This study here by presents a method for comparative assessment of grinding wheels during the grinding process of hard-to-cut materials. The method in question consists of carrying out a short grinding cut in plunge grinding kinematics using grinding wheels with a customized macro-geometry upon the active surface. The work presents examples of this method’s efficacy when applied to the...
