background: xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (xcc), the causative agent of bacterial citrus canker, has affected citriculture worldwide. varieties of means have been used to minimize its devastating effects, but no attention has been given to bacteriocins.objectives: here and for the first time, we report the isolation and characterization of two novel bacteriocins.materials and methods: secretom...

To investigate the material removal characteristic of paste polishing, experimental investigations based on Taguchi method have been carried out. In the experiments, the dwell time was fixed 300 seconds and the bonnet position was 4. The four variable factors (precess angles, head speed, head pressure and tool offset) with 3 levels were chosen to design the orthogonal array. With the designed o...

Machining of medium Brass alloy is very difficult. There are a number of parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut etc. which must be given consideration during the machining of medium Brass alloy. This study investigates the effects of process parameters on Material Removal Rate (MRR) in turning of C34000. The single response optimization problems i.e. optimization of MRR is solved ...

In this work we solve the problem of architecting a conceptual, near-term, cost-effective system of systems (SoS) to respond to small boats used by terrorists to attack maritime commerce traffic and critical shore infrastructures in the United States, by formulating the architecting problem as an assignment problem which is then solved using the orthogonal array experiment. Also known as the Ta...

The orthogonal array design has been used to determine the optimum conditions for gold recovery from Zarshuran refractory gold sulfide ore (Iran) by direct cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation. The Taguchi method was used as the experimental design to determine the optimum conditions of dissolution behavior of gold with cyanidation and roasting-cyanidation from Zarshuran refractory gold ore . T...

Stainlesssteel 403 is high-alloysteelwith good corrosion resistance and it’svery hard material. Abrasive water jet is an effective method for machining, cutting and drilling of stainlesssteel 403. In thispaperweoptimize the metalremoval rate of stainlesssteel 403 in abrasive water jet machining. The MRRisoptimize by usingthreeparameters water pressure, abrasive flow rate and stand-off distance ...

The challenge of recent machining industries is reduce lead time and increase production rate in order to maintain their competitiveness. This paper investigates the machinability of mild steel in turning process perform on conventional lathe machine. Twoparameters like tool rake angle and feed are varied to investigate their effect on material removal rate. An attempt has been made to model th...

this work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth of cut) on surface roughness & material removal rate in the machining unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastics (ud-gfrp) composite using carbide (k10) cutting tool durin...

The aim of this paper to review the Taguchi based Grey relational analysis is used to find the best process parameters and improved quality results. The GRA was proposed to optimize the multi response problem by making use of the grey relational coefficient and grey relational grade. GRA is attempted to integrate multiple responses, it is feasible to combine GRA with Taguchi method to provide a...

The challenge of current manufacturing industries is increase production rate in order to maintain their competitiveness in market.This paper investigates the effect of spindle speed and feed on material removal rate in turning operation execute on conventional lathe machine. An effort has been made to model the one response variable using Taguchi and ANOVA method. Taguchi L9 orthogonal array i...
