Although several studies have linked Life History Strategy (LHS) variation with variation in the Five Factor Model personality dimensions, no published research has explored the relationship of LHS to the HEXACO personality dimensions. The theoretically expected relationship of the HEXACO Emotionality factor to LHS is unclear. The results of two studies (N = 641) demonstrated that LHS indicator...

This paper presents a 5-axis side milling scheme for freeform surfaces based on automatic piecewise ruled surface approximation. With this scheme, resulting surface nish is accurate and pleasing, and has a smaller scallop height compared to ball-end milling. The ruled surface approximation can be made arbitrarily precise resulting in an overall fast milling operation that satis es tight toleran...

In any machining operations, quality and productivity are the two important conflicting objectives. In order to give assurance for high productivity, some extent of quality has to be compromised. Similarly productivity will be decreased while the efforts are channelized to enhance quality. Therefore it is essential to optimize both quality and productivity simultaneously. Surface roughness and ...

This paper presents a Kalman filter designed for a cutting force measurement system. The cutting force measurement system is used to measure cutting forces for meso-milling applications. Due to the small magnitude of the cutting forces generated from the meso-milling process, the measurement results are easily distorted by the noise that exists in the measurement system. The object of the Kalma...

Nanostructured TiN/TiB2/Fe–Cr–Ni composite powder has been prepared via high energy ball milling. Ti and BN powders are reacted to form uniform mixture of TiN and TiB2 within 2 h of milling by a mechanically activated self-sustaining reaction (MSR). The crystallite sizes of TiN nd TiB2 are about 7 and 16 nm, respectively, after 32 h of milling. Through liquid phase sintering and optimizing the ...

The high coercivity of 26.2 kOe for SmCo5 nanoflakes are obtained by multistep (three steps) surfactant-assisted ball milling. The magnetic properties, phase structure and morphology are studied by VSM, XRD and SEM, respectively. The results demonstrate that the three step ball-milling can keep more complete crystallinity (relatively less defects) during the process of milling compared with one...

The work presented in this paper gives an introduction to the development of a simulator system based on a virtual reality representation of the human skull, from which both haptic and visual feedback is generated to simulate and animate the milling process in skull bone surgery. The system will be used to educate and train surgeons to do complicated skull bone operations, such as removal of ca...

Although tailored wet ball milling can be an efficient method to produce a large quantity of two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as boron nitride (BN) nanosheets, milling parameters including milling speed, ball-to-powder ratio, milling ball size and milling agent, are important for optimization of exfoliation efficiency and production yield. In this report, we systematically investigate the ef...

The compound Mg 2 FeH 6 was synthesized from a 2Mg-Fe mixture in a single process through high-energy ball milling under hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature. The complex hydride was prepared from Mg powder and granulated or powdered Fe using a planetary mill. The phase evolution during different milling times was performed by X-rays diffraction technique. The dehydrogenation behavior of the...
