Grinding is finishing process aimed at achieving surface quality and dimensional accuracy in workpieces with tight tolerances especially from materials with a high degree of hardness and strength. The grinding process of superalloys is faced with problems and challenges caused by the generation of excessiveheatas well as the adhesion of workpiecematerialon the grinding tool. Therefore, in-depth...

The recent introduction of actuation mechanisms for microfluidic transport based on free surface flows raises a number of interesting questions involving efficient mixing configurations, especially in systems with small aspect ratios. This work investigates the characteristics of convective and diffusive mixing in continuous-mode streaming of thermocapillary microflows on chemically micropatter...

AIM To evaluate the influence of various mixing procedures including ultrasonic vibration, trituration of customized encapsulated mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and condensation on the Vickers surface microhardness of MTA. METHODOLOGY ProRoot MTA Original, ProRoot MTA (white), MTA-Angelus (grey) and MTA White Angelus (white) were prepared using several mixing techniques including ultrasonic...

Significant progress has been made in the area of upper ocean responses and air-sea interactions during the passage of tropical cyclones (TC) since the first edition published in 1992. In terms of the upper ocean impacts on intensity, considerable attention has focused on the three-dimensional cold wake structure and the negative feedback due to ocean mixed layer cooling by shear-induced vertic...

Litter decomposition is an important source of carbon accumulation in the permafrost peatlands. Climate warming has led to shrub expansions and accelerated litter mixing with soils fluctuations water table. However, little known about how changes position will affect under climate warming. To reveal mechanisms response location soil Here, we selected evergreen shrub, Chamaedaphne calyculata , d...

Strong electric fields are known to influence the properties of molecules as well as materials. Here we show that by changing the orientation of an externally applied electric field, one can locally control the mixing behavior of two molecules physisorbed on a solid surface. Whether the starting two-component network evolves into an ordered two-dimensional (2D) cocrystal, yields an amorphous ne...

Sea surface height changes due to the tropical cyclone (TC)-induced water mixing in Yellow Sea, Korea, were investigated using temperature and salinity profile data obtained by two Argo floats during summer fall of 2018 2020. Strong winds low pressure, which are important characteristics TCs, caused horizontal vertical sea movement induced mixing. This an increase mixed layer depth, a decrease ...
