The surface integrity of a machined component determines its quality and performance, and the intricacies of the
machining process influence it. Predicting cutting forces allows for identifying conditions that could cause ...
The application of finite element models is a promising method for ensuring
part quality during machining to accurately predict induced residual stresses
and cutting forces. The present study applied Analysis System ...
Striga hermonthica, commonly known as witchweed or ‘cereal killer', is a root hemiparasite of
cereals, germinating only in response to host-induced molecules, strigolactones (SL). It continues
to pose a serious threat ...
The scoria evaporative cooler designed for this project applies the principle of evaporative cooling
to reduce the temperature while at the same time increasing relative humidity inside the storage
chamber. The modern ...
In the face of the increased global campaign to minimize the emission of
greenhouse gases and the need for sustainability in manufacturing, there is a
great deal of research focusing on environmentally benign and ...
Worldwide, the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a public health
concern. Food-borne associated antibiotic-resistant pathogens can contami
nate raw meat during slaughter, transportation, and at sale points. ...
Background Multiplicity of infection (MOI) is an important measure of Plasmodium falciparum diversity, usually
derived from the highly polymorphic genes, such as msp1, msp2 and glurp as well as microsatellites. Conventional ...
Improper selection of Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process parameters for the fabrication of
cobalt‑chromium‑molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy may result in poor quality components for dental implant ap
plications. To ...

In injection molding process, cooling time accounts for up to 80% of the whole cycle time, and this has a significant effect on
productivity. Cooling time can be reduced by use of cooling channels in molds. This paper ...
Carissa edulis is a tropical plant belonging to the family Apocynaceae. e species is widely used in the preparation of various herbal
medicines. Earlier works in Kenya show that an aqueous extract from the roots of C. ...
Sustainable plastic waste management systems are needed to reduce environmental pollution
impacts as they are non-biodegradable and emit greenhouse gases when burned. This study
investigates the feasibility of using ...
Due to an increasing amount of household plastic waste, sustainable plastics waste management systems
have become increasingly important. We report on the feasibility of using recycled polypropylene (PP) from the
commonly ...
Despite diesel engines being highly efficient, with low fuel consumption and
reduced carbon dioxide emissions, they emit relatively high levels of particu
late matter and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) due to high exhaust gas ...
