Ceramic and CBN tools are available for the difficult-to -cut-materials such as hardened carbon tool steel. stainless steel and etc. Ceramic tools are suitable for continuous turning cut, not for intermittent milling cut. Ceramic tools are likely to be chipped and abruptly broken before the appearance of normal wear in turning. In this study, TiN coated ceramic tools were found to restrain the chipping, breaking and early fracture and to increase the critical cutting velocity owing to TiN coating in PVD method.

In this paper we propose new primal-dual interior point methods (IPMs) for $P_*(\kappa)$ linear complementarity problems (LCPs) and analyze the iteration complexity of the algorithm. New search directions and proximity measures are defined based on a class of kernel functions, $\psi(t)=\frac{t^2-1}{2}-{\int}^t_1e{^{q(\frac{1}{\xi}-1)}d{\xi}$, $q\;{\geq}\;1$. If a strictly feasible starting point is available and the parameter $q\;=\;\log\;\(1+a{\sqrt{\frac{2{\tau}+2{\sqrt{2n{\tau}}+{\theta}n}}{1-{\theta}}\)$, where $a\;=\;1\;+\;\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+2{\kappa}}}$, then new large-update primal-dual interior point algorithms have $O((1\;+\;2{\kappa})\sqrt{n}log\;n\;log\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}})$ iteration complexity which is the best known result for this method. For small-update methods, we have $O((1\;+\;2{\kappa})q{\sqrt{qn}}log\;{\frac{n}{\varepsilon}})$ iteration complexity.

This paper deals with the empirical Bayes two-action problem of testing $H_0\;:\;{\theta}{\leq}{\theta}_0$: versus $H_1\;:\;{\theta}>{\theta}_0$ using a linear error loss for some discrete nonexponential families having probability function either $$f_1(x{\mid}{\theta})=(x{\alpha}+1-{\theta}){\theta}^x\prod\limits_{j=0}^x\;(j{\alpha}+1)$$ or $$f_2(x{\mid}{\theta})=[{\theta}\prod\limits_{j=0}^{x-1}(j{\alpha}+1-{\theta})]/[\prod\limits_{j=0}^x\;(j{\alpha}+1)]$$. Two empirical Bayes tests ${\delta}_n^*\;and\;{\delta}_n^{**}$ are constructed. We have shown that both ${\delta}_n^*\;and\;{\delta}_n^{**}$ are asymptotically optimal, and their regrets converge to zero at an exponential decay rate O(exp(-cn)) for some c>0, where n is the number of historical data available when the present decision problem is considered.

For the development of new synthetic method for unnatural amino acid esters, N-aryl phenylglycine Ο-alkyl esters 4a∼i were synthesized through esterification, bromination, C-N bond formation from commercially available phenylacetic acids. An efficient and practical reaction condition for esters 2a∼c was that the starting materials 1a∼c were refluxed in absolute methanol for 3 hours with catalytic concentrated hydrosulfuric acid. In addition, bromines 3a∼c were formated for 3h in dichloromethane at rt with N-bromosuccinimide. Bromines 3a∼c were also converted to 4a∼i through substitution of arylamines during refluxing for 24 hours in ethanol with triethylamine. Interestingly, ethyl esters 5a∼c were formed via transesterification reaction when the p-sulfamylanilino group was used as a nucleophile in ethanol solvent.

Quantitative information on biomass and available nutrients are essential for developing sustainable forest management strategies to regulate atmospheric carbon. An attempt was made at Chilapatta Reserve Forest in Duars region of West Bengal to quantify its above and below ground carbon along with available "N", "P" and "K" in the soil. Stratified random nested quadrats were marked for soil, biomass and litter sampling. Indirect or non-destructive procedures were employed for biomass estimation. The amount of these available nutrients and organic carbon quantified in soil indicates that the forest soil is high in organic carbon and available "K" and medium in phosphorus and nitrogen. The biomass, soil carbon and total carbon (soil C＋C in plant biomass) in the forest was 1,995.98, 75.83 and $973.65Mg\;ha^{-1}$. More than 90% of the carbon accumulated in the forest was contributed by the trees. The annual litter production of the forest was $5.37Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Carbon accumulation is intricately linked with site quality factors. The estimated biomass of $1,995.98Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ clearly indicates this. The site quality factor i.e. tropical moist deciduous with optimum availability of soil nutrients, heavy precipitation, high mean monthly relative humidity and optimum temperature range supported luxuriant growth which was realized as higher biomass accumulation and hence higher carbon accumulated.

Experimental vapor pressure measurements available in the literature for the inert gases have been rigorously analyzed and used to evaluate the constants A, B, C, D, and exponent of the following equation in the form of reduced vapor pressure and reduced temperature : $InP_r=A+{\frac{B}{T_r}+CInT_r+DT_n^r}$ According to varying exponent n all four constants have been obtained for the inert gases by the error analysis. This has provided us the best n and four constants for each of the inert gases ; Argon, krypton, xenon, helium, and neon. In order to obtain the calculated vapor pressure by the above equation, only the normal boiling point and the critical pressure and critical temperature are necessary to get the vapor pressure for an overall average deviation of 0.31 % for 406 experimental vapor pressure points consisting of five gases available in the literature. The average deviation for argon, krypton, and xenon is 0.24%, 0.09%, and 0.22%, respectively, for neon 1.31% and for helium 0.61%. These results are not unexpected in view of the significant quantum effects associated with helium and to a lesser degree with neon.

Objective: To investigate the effects of reversing the coiling direction of nickel-titanium closed-coil springs (NiTi-CCSs) on the force-deflection characteristics. Methods: The samples consisted of two commercially available conventional NiTi-CCS groups and two reverse-wound NiTi-CCS groups (Ormco-Conventional vs. Ormco-Reverse; GAC-Conventional vs. GAC-Reverse; n = 20 per group). The reverse-wound NiTi-CCSs were directly made from the corresponding conventional NiTi-CCSs by reversing the coiling direction. Tensile tests were performed for each group in a temperature-controlled acrylic chamber ($37{\pm}1^{\circ}C$). After measuring the force level, the range of the deactivation force plateau (DFP) and the amount of mechanical hysteresis (MH), statistical analyses were performed. Results: The Ormco-Reverse group exhibited a significant shift of the DFP end point toward the origin point (2.3 to 0.6 mm), an increase in the force level (1.2 to 1.3 N) and amount of MH (1.0 to 1.5 N) compared to the Ormco-Conventional group (all p < 0.001), which indicated that force could be constantly maintained until the end of the deactivation curve. In contrast, the GAC-Reverse group exhibited a significant shift of the DFP-end point away from the origin point (0.2 to 3.3 mm), a decrease in the force level (1.1 to 0.9 N) and amount of MH (0.6 to 0.4 N) compared to the GAC-Conventional group (all p < 0.001), which may hinder the maintenance of force until the end of the deactivation curve. Conclusions: The two commercially available NiTi-CCS groups exhibited different patterns of change in the force-deflection characteristics when the coiling direction was reversed.

Our purpose is to develop an efficient synthetic method of obtaining oligosaccharide unit in sufficient amounts to study functions of glycans. Many exoglycosidases have been used as tools for the oligosaccharide synthesis. In contrast, a limited number of reports are available on the utilization of endoglycosidases. We describe herewith the efficient synthetic method of useful oligosaccharides and derivatives as biomaterials utilizing lysozyme, cellulase, and lacto-N-biosidase-mediated transglycosyltions.

Toward code division multiple access (CDMA) communications and data protection, we propose and analyze pseudorandom noise (PN) sequences generated from a 2-dimensional array structure of shift-registers. For any positive integers m and n, we construct PN sequences of period $2^{mm}-1$ using an $m{\times}n$ array of registers and show that we can generate all shifted PN sequences as required by IS-95x with the proper linear combination of available sequences.

Huang et al. proved that the n by n upper triangular matrix ring over a domain is weakly reversible-over-center by using the property of regular matrices. In this article we provide a concrete proof which is able to be available in the related study of centers. Next we extend an example of weakly reversible-over-center, which was argued by Huang et al., to the general case.
