Despite the fact that Titanium material has been considered as difficult to cut material, its usage has been increasing day by day in all engineering sectors; wherever criticality is encountered. Many studies are going on in view of increasing tool life at high cutting speed to improve productivity. In this study, attempt has been made to see the effect of iron as a partial substitution  along ...

Two types of alumina-based cutting tools with compositions of 90 vol.% Al2O3+10 vol.% ZrO2 and 80 vol.% A12O3+20 vol.% TiC are produced by isostatic pressing and sintering technique. The effects of these additives on the mechanical properties and cutting performance of these materials are investigated. The tool life in both materials is examined under identical conditions on cutting a grey cast...

A question like “Does life have meaning?” is a comprehensive question about our life and value. This inquiry changes into “How do we have to live our life?” or “If there are purposes in our life, what are we aiming for?”(Nielsen, 1980). The query of meaning in life is often evoked by the incident and experiences in the world and arises when we encounter various failure, misfortune, woe, sufferi...

The use of affinity-based tools has become invaluable as a platform for basic research and in the development of drugs and diagnostics. Applications include affinity chromatography and affinity tag fusions for efficient purification of proteins as well as methods to probe the protein network interactions on a whole-proteome level. A variety of selection systems has been described for in vitro e...

An Internet browser-based computer-support learning tool was designed and built by MTTU to serve as an assessment vehicle for business students. Now in its third year of operation it has migrated across computer platforms and been completely redesigned to become a university resource. Hundreds of students use CSL daily. This paper will outline the development of CSL and discuss our work in conn...

Any approach that adds speed and efficiency to the underwriting process provides a competitive edge in today's fast changing financial services industry. The acquisition of data for medical underwriting has always been a challenge; with the traditional attending physician statement process adding time, real costs, and opportunity costs to manufacturing life products. Is there any potential for ...

E-memories attempt to digitally encode all life experiences in an archive for later search and real-time recommendation. In this paper we describe a prototype real-time e-memory gathering infrastructure and system, that uses smartphones to gather and organise semantically rich e-memory.
