While texturing of workpiece surfaces to promote lubrication in metal forming has been applied for several decades, tool surface texturing is rather new. In the present paper, tool texturing is studied as a method to prevent galling. A strip reduction test was conducted with tools provided with shallow, longitudinal pockets oriented perpendicular t

Tool texturing is studied as a method to enhance lubrication and prevent the occurrence of galling. Strip reduction test tools manufactured with longitudinal, shallow pocket geometries oriented perpendicular to the sliding direction are tested. The pockets have small angles to the workpiece surface and varying distance. The experiments show an opti

Stamping of sheet metal components without lubrication or using minimum amount of hazard free lubricant is a possible solution to diminish health hazards to personnel and environmental impact and to reduce production costs. This paper studies the application of diamond-like coating (DLC) under severe lubrication conditions by adopting strip reducti

This research presents a multi variant structure of fluxgate magnetometer. The core of fluxgate magnetometer is made of soft iron material. It also consists of sensing and driving coils made of copper having conductivity of 5.8*10^7[S/m]. Magnetic flux density of fluxgate sensors is simulated by considering different core structures that include E-

Model-based glycemic control offers direct management of patient-specific variability and better adaptive control. Implementation of the model-based glycemic control has the potential to reduce hyperglycemia episodes, mortality and morbidity as seen in some successful TGC. The design of any TGC must consider not only the glycemic target range but a

Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disorder that results in ankylosis of the vertebral column and sacroiliac joints.  More than 30% of patients with AS carry a heavy burden of disease and have a decreased quality of life.  The HLA-B*27 is a well known genetic risk variant for ankylosing spondylitis (AS).  Ho

This book is a qualitative, non-empirical, textual and contextual study of six literary works by writers of the Muslim diaspora from the UK and the US published in the aftermath of the 9/11 event. The texts selected are Monica Ali’s Brick Lane (2003), Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner (2003), Leila Aboulela’s Minaret (2005), Mohsin Hamid’s

Peritonitis is a common complication in patients that undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). This problem causes a major difficulty in performing CAPD treatment efficiently and successfully; especially with the patients that develop this problem at the early stage of training period. Hence, this study was conducted to measure

Hospital-acquired pneumonia and ventilator-associated pneumonia continue to cause significant morbidity and mortality. With increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance, the importance of optimizing antibiotic treatment is key to maximize treatment outcomes. This is especially important in critically ill patients in intensive care units, in whom th

Newly introduced ICDAS II as a visual method, laser fluorescence as another technique that have ability to quantify early mineral loss of tooth structure and intra oral radiograph, are methods can be used in the clinic. To provide standardization for comprehensive caries management at an early stage, all methods supposed to be tested between users.
