The orthogonal metal cutting process for a controlled contact tool is simulated using a limit analysis theorem. The basic principles are stated in the form of a primal optimization problem with an objective function subjected to constraints of the equilibrium equation, its static boundary conditions and a constitutive inequality. An Eulerian reference co-ordinate is used to describe the steady ...

To prepare measures for practical policy utilization and the control of heavy metals, hazard control related institutions by country, present states of control by country, and present states of control by heavy metals were examined. Hazard control cases by heavy metals in various countries were compared and analyzed. In certain countries (e.g., the U.S., the U.K., and Japan), hazardous substanc...

OBJECTIVE The aims of the study are to assess the marginal accuracy of base metal and titanium alloy casting and to evaluate the effect of repeated ceramic firing on the marginal accuracy of base metal and titanium alloy castings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty metal copings were fabricated with each casting material. Specimens were divided into 4 groups of 10 each representing base metal alloy...

Seabuckthorn [SBT, Hippophae rhamnoides L.] is a very popular plant of high altitude cold desert areas having tremendous medicinal properties and well reviewed in Chinese and Tibetan literature. 75% ethanolic extract of SBT leaves has already been reported to possess many pharmacological activities but there are no reports on heavy metal analysis of this extract. The present study was undertake...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two different metal conditioners for non-precious metal alloys for the bonding of porcelain to a cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Disk-shaped specimens (2.5×10.0 mm) were cast with Co-Cr alloy and used as adherend materials. The bonding surfaces were polished with a 600-grid silicon carbide paper and airborn...

A heavy metal-resistant bacterial strain was isolated from heavy metal-contaminated soils and identified as Burkholderia sp. J62 based on the 16S rDNA gene sequence analysis. The heavy metal- and antibiotic resistance, heavy metal solubilization of the isolate were investigated. The isolate was also evaluated for promoting plant growth and Pb and Cd uptakes of the plants from heavy metal-contam...

Let’s say that you wanted to determine the heavy metal identities and concentrations in sediment and suspended solid samples obtained from present day Lake Nakuru. What technique would you use for this determination? You could use Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) as was done in the article (Nelson 1998), but another technique, which is particularly good at detecting metals at the ppb level ...

the aim of this study was to determine the extent of metal pollutions and the identification of their major sources in the vicinity of the sangan iron mine occurring in ne iran. soil samples were collected from the vicinity of the mine site and analyzed for heavy metals. in addition, the chemical speciation of these metals was investigated by means of the sequential extraction procedure. the st...

A simple sensing ensemble was designed to discriminate structurally similar divalent metal chlorides utilizing multivariate data analysis. The system features the binding of four synthesized coumarin-enamine probes to a series of ten metal chlorides. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) achieves what univariate data analysis alone cannot i.e., full analyte discrimination and differentiation.
