Design Optimization for Robustness Considering the Gear Transmission Error

costly. This paper investigated the manufacture of double crowned gears by traditional gear shaving machine. Taguchi Method was applied to find critical parameters in the shaving process and the transmission error had also been improved through the process of robust design.

Mechanism of R factor-mediated chloramphenicol resistance.

Gentamicin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa: R-factor-mediated resistance.

By disk diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility testing, 11% of 313 consecutive strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, examined during July to October 1973, were resistant to gentamicin (minimal inhibitory concentration 12.5 to >100 mug/ml), and a further 31% were moderately resistant (6.25 to 12.5 mug/ml) to gentamicin at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton, Canada. Of 45 gentamicin-resi...
