Gear plunge shaving is one of the most efficient ways to finish gears. It has been a challenge for a long time to design and manufacture a plunge shaving cutter to induce gear tooth modification. This paper proposes a method for designing plunge shaving cutters to manufacture gears with modifications analytically. By integrating B-spline interpolation, differential geometry, and design optimiza...

Many categories of objects, such as human faces, can be naturally viewed as a composition of several different layers. For example, a bearded face with glasses can be decomposed into three layers: a layer for glasses, a layer for the beard and a layer for other permanent facial features. While modeling such a face with a linear subspace model could be very difficult, layer separation allows for...

OBJECTIVES To compare the maternal and neonatal outcomes between perineal shaving and hair cutting in parturients on admission in labor MATERIAL AND METHOD Five hundred pregnant women with labor pain and no medical or obstetric complications were selected at random on admission to be assigned into two groups at Rajavithi Hospital from 1st November 2001 to 28th February 2002. Forty two women w...

We previously reported that 1 h after infusion of CD20 mAb rituximab in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), >80% of CD20 was removed from circulating B cells, and we replicated this finding, based on in vitro models. This reaction occurs via an endocytic process called shaving/trogocytosis, mediated by FcγR on acceptor cells including monocytes/macrophages, which remove and intern...

During the First World War, anthrax cases in the United States and England increased greatly and seemed to be associated with use of new shaving brushes. Further investigation revealed that the source material and origin of shaving brushes had changed during the war. Cheap brushes of imported horsehair were being made to look like the preferred badger-hair brushes. Unfortunately, some of these ...

Transmission error in gearing system is a critical index for product quality. Gears with appropriate tooth modification can always behave well in transmission error, i.e. the double crowned gears. Nevertheless, to manufacture a gear with double crowning by CNC gear shaving machine indeed costly. This paper investigated the manufacture of double crowned gears by traditional gear shaving machine....

Objective The risk factors for vulvar dysplasia and infections are not fully known. In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between pubic hair shaving and the occurrence of vulvar inflammation, dysplasia, and cancer. Methods This study was performed between January 2013 and December 2016 in which a standardized questionnaire concerning genital hair shaving was administered to v...

Breast cancer incidence suggests a lifestyle cause. A lifestyle factor used near the breast is the application of antiperspirants/deodorants accompanied by axillary shaving. A previous study did not support a link with breast cancer. If these habits have a role in breast cancer development, women using antiperspirants/deodorants and shaving their underarms frequently would be expected to have a...

costly. This paper investigated the manufacture of double crowned gears by traditional gear shaving machine. Taguchi Method was applied to find critical parameters in the shaving process and the transmission error had also been improved through the process of robust design.
