In this paper the machining condition to achieve nano surface roughness in finish cut micro electro discharge milling was investigated. The effect of feed rate and capacitance were studied on average surface roughness (Ra), and maximum peak-to-valley roughness height (Ry). Statistical models were developed using three-level twofactor experimental d

This paper reports the influence of micro end milling process parameters on surface roughness of beryllium copper alloy. A number of microchannels were fabricated in order to characterize the process parameters influencing surface roughness. Two-level four-factor statistical models were developed to predict the average (Ra) and peak-to-valley (Rt)

This paper discussed the investigation of the burr formation in micro end milling process on stainless steel. Thus, formation of burr after machined by micro end milling process was investigated and analyzed. Tungsten carbide end mill cutting tool of diameter 500 μm was used with depth of cut of 200 μm. A number of microchannels were machined to

This paper presents the results of experimental investigations conducted on a vertical machining centre (VMC) to ascertain the effectiveness of brazed circular polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) inserts in end milling of hardened steel AISI D2 (60-62 HRC), under room temperature and workpiece preheated conditions. Comparison was made in ter

Objective: To analyse difficulties and outcome of pediatric laryngotracheal reconstruction using cartilage graft for severe subglottic stenosis Methods: Retrospective analysis of all laryngotracheal reconstruction since the past 3 years from 2003-2006. Results: Seven cases altogether, age ranging from one to thirteen years. All had grade iii and ab

This study examines the general perceptions of women towards their roles, their interpretation of progress, as well as the facilitating factors and barriers to their progress. Questionnaires were distributed to 1,000 Malay women in Malaysia from rural and urban areas, from various age and income groups. Interviews were also carried out on the selec

Purpose – This paper aims to examine the long-run and dynamic behaviors of real wage-employment-productivity relationship, using Malaysian manufacturing data, and to determine which related labor theories are supported. Design/methodology/approach – Time-series econometric techniques, which include stationarity and cointegration tests, vector e

A Micro-scale modeling system is being applied on an experimental basis at the International Islamic University Gombak campus for production of real/-time, high resolution weather forecasts. The numerical experiment is being supported by IIUM. It is believed to be the first time that a real-time microclimate data has been monitored by the departmen

The field of virtual cultural heritage refers to the use of virtual reality systems to generate, navigate and explore reconstructed environments that are of cultural interest. This emerges from the term digital heritage that refers to the use of digital technology especially computer systems to preserve and communicate cultural heritage. The use of

Ameloblastoma is a slow growing benign tumour of the jaw and patients usually present late after the tumour achieved considerable size to cause facial disfigurement. Diagnosis mainly from tissue biopsy and characteristic findings on plain X-rays does assist in differentiating between types of ameloblastoma. The challenges in the management of this
