The aim of this work is to investigate the effect of thermal treatment on the grinding behavior of manganese ore in the various size fractions of -1.7+1.18, -1.18+0.6, -0.6+0.3 and -0.3+ 0.15 mm. Breakage Function Determination Software (BFDS) is used to calculate the selection function of the experiment. The results of SEM analysis show the micro-cracks in the thermally treated manganese sampl...

Granule breakage is an important rate process in wet granulation that promotes product uniformity and controls size strength. In this work, a model to predict granule proposed experimentally validated. The assumes exponential of the surviving granules, dependent on probability breakage; function powder binder properties, as well operating parameters. Validation experiments were performed with b...

Composite or closely linked maize (Zea mays) Ac/Ds transposable elements can induce chromosome breakage, but the precise configurations of Ac/Ds elements that can lead to chromosome breakage are not completely defined. Here, we determined the structures and chromosome breakage properties of 15 maize p1 alleles: each allele contains a fixed fractured Ac (fAc) element and a closely linked full-le...

Population balances represent an effective framework for the analysis of rate processes in dispersed phase systems. Mainly, they are able to account for the dynamics of the dispersed phase because of particle breakup and agglomeration while concurrently accounting for the rate processes in single particles. The effectiveness of this framework depends on whether particle phenomena (such as break...

Dicentric chromosomes undergo a breakage-fusion-bridge cycle as a consequence of having two centromeres on the same chromatid attach to opposite spindle poles in mitosis. Suppression of dicentric chromosome breakage reflects loss of kinetochore function at the kinetochore-microtubule or the kinetochore-DNA interface. Using a conditionally functional dicentric chromosome in vivo, we demonstrate ...

LEE, SUNG WON. A Probability Model for Random Fiber Breakage. (Under the direction of JOHN WILLIAM BISHlR). Two fundamental questions in connection with the random breakage of fibers in a breakage system are set forth: Given a fiber group of any particular length, (1) What is the probability that a fiber of the length groups breaks at all? (2) What is the probability that a fiber breaks into s ...

In process engineering, the breakage behavior of particles is needed for the modeling and optimization of comminution processes. A popular tool to describe (dynamic) processes is population balance modeling (PBM), which captures the statistical distribution of particle properties and their evolution over time. It has been suggested previously to split up the description of breakage into a machi...

Detection of tool breakage is of vital importance in automated manufacturing. Various methods have been attempted, and it is considered that the use of discrete wavelet transform (DWT), which is much more efficient and just as accurate wavelet analysis, may provide a realistic solution to the detection of tool breakage in operation. The DWT uses an analyzing wavelet function which is localized ...

Programmed chromosome breakage occurs at 50-200 specific sites in the genome of Tetrahymena thermo-phila during somatic nuclear (macronuclear) differentiation. Previous studies have identified a 15 bp sequence, the Cbs (for chromosome breakage sequence), that is necessary and sufficient to specify these sites. In this study we determined the effects of mutations in the Cbs on its ability to spe...
