Deliberate self-harm (DSH) is a widespread yet often hidden problem in adolescents and young adults. Though most DSH can be classified as "non-suicidal self-cutting", some do go on to commit suicide. In this paper, deliberate self-harm is examined, including its prevalence, etiology, management, and future research directions using self-cutting and self-burning as examples. This article reviews...

the machine to be designed and developed with a view to resolve one ofthe irksome problems of this institute has been facing every year. this institute issurrounded by vast non- fertile land area of about 200 acres, which becomes widelyoccupied by numerous breads of bushes and shrubs during post-rainy season. due tothis unwanted proliferation of such verdant institute gets abysmal look and that...

This study investigated the effect of cutting conditions effects on sound level and surface quality in softwood hardwood. The emission caused by process (band saw) as well roughness topography wood samples were evaluated. A direct relationship was found between density, moisture content, feeding rate, dimensions samples. Straight less than a curved direction. protective earmuffs very significan...

Pamali, Abhinand P. Using Clothoidal Spirals to Generate Smooth Tool Paths For High Speed Machining. (Under the direction of Dr. Yuan-Shin Lee.) We present a new and innovative method to generate Contour Parallel tool paths using Clothoidal spirals for 2.5D pocket milling. The tool paths generated by the proposed method are more suitable for High Speed Machining compared to the traditional tool...

The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

Different methods of measuring and calculating the volume of logs in the forest after felling (“hand measuring”) and in log yards of sawmills (“electronic measuring”) give different results – volume of logs. The subject of this paper is the quantification of differences caused by the number and direction of scanning, by rounding and by volume calculation. The main results of measuring carried o...

Nowadays, solving nonsmooth (not necessarily differentiable) optimization problems plays a very important role in many areas of industrial applications. Most of the algorithms developed so far deal only with nonsmooth convex functions. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for solving nonsmooth optimization problems that are not assumed to be convex. The algorithm combines the traditional c...

PVC frame cutting process by guillotine is a common method that attracted attention of car parts and PVC decorating furniture producers. In this paper, the effects of main parameters such as cutting speed, lubricants and cutting frame holder pressure force on PVC frame section surface smoothness is investigated by experimental methods on a specified PVC frame sample and then by FEM simulation u...

This study assessed the moulding, drilling, turning, sanding, and routing properties of seven plantation-grown hardwood species from southeast Australia to evaluate their potential as a resource for the manufacture of high quality furniture and furnishings. Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus saligna, Corymbia maculata, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Eucalyptus sideroxylon, Eucalyptus cladocalyx, and Euc...
