Machining of metals is generally accompanied by a violent relative vibration between work and tool, known as chatter. Chatter arises due to resonance when the frequency of instability of chip formation and the natural frequencies (vibration modes) of the machine-system components coincide. Chatter has detrimental effects on tool life, productivity,

In CNC machining, high downtimes of machine tools are associated with the tool zero point setting in the absence of automatic setting devices. The problem is more acute in high speed and micro-machining processes dealing with micron and sub micrometer range depth of cut which precise require zero point setting. Hence there is a high demand for reli

The following subjects are discussed: active voice, passive voice, derivation through prefixes and suffixes, repetition of the numbers and structures. In Arabic this study describes cond

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from the bile, gizzard, intestine and caecum of the Malaysian domestic non-broiler chicken. Of the 56 isolates grown on MRS agar plates, 7 – namely, B3L3, B4L4, G5L5, B5L6, B10L7, I1L8, and C4L10 – showed inhibition against the methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These isolates were all G

The main aim of the current study is to isolate a fungi with laccase activities to be used for transformation of phytochemicals isolated from the same environment as an approach to produce novel pharmaceutical products. In our study, laccase producing fungi was isolated from samples taken from a tropical trees barks which grown in the International
