Abstract:
Literature has provided empirical evidence showing the importance of location for understanding KIBS effective service provision. According to territorial servitization postulates KIBS are also fundamental for the development of the manufacturing firms. Despite KIBS can be an important source of innovation, limited attention is paid of KIBS in Latin America region. The purpose of this research is analysing the relationship between KIBS co-location and innovativeness of the manufacturing firms. Drawing on the World Bank Enterprise Survey 2017 for Latin-American countries, authors analyse 3,029 manufacturing firms using OLS method. Findings indicate that manufacturing firms’ location based on KIBS proximity is a critical determinant of innovativeness. This relationship is considerably stronger in Central American countries, where according to our data there is KIBS scarcity.

Abstract:
This is a case study of the U.S. pharmaceutical producer, Merck & Co. By 1940 this was one of the leading pharmaceutical producers in the United States, and the company went on to become one of the global industry leaders after World War II. It was founded in 1891 as the U.S. subsidiary of a much larger German pharmaceutical company, E. Merck of Darmstadt. The existing understanding of Merck & Co.’s history emphasizes how it was reacquired by the American branch of the Merck family after wartime sequestration, and from then onward it pursued a path of development separate from its former parent. This article revisits that history of the company and shows how the two Mercks began to cooperate and share technology and manufacturing know-how during the 1930s, something that was particularly to the advantage of Merck & Co.

Abstract:
Recently, manufacturing technologies have progressed owing to high industrial demand. For example, in the automobile and aircraft industries, manufacturing processes require technologies that allow for high machining rates of lightweight and/or difficult-to-cut materials. Fabricating medical equipment involves the machining of biocompatible materials with high mechanical strength. Information devices require high-quality ultraprecision manufacturing processes. Furthermore, measurement and characterization technologies are also essential for manufacturing. Along with the evolution of manufacturing technologies, scientific studies have been performed on manufacturing phenomena and process control based on physical and/or mathematical aspects. This special issue was promoted by the International Conference on Leading Edge Manufacturing/Materials & Processing (LEM&P2023) held from June 12, 2023 to June 16, 2023 at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, sponsored by the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. This conference was co-located with the Manufacturing Science Engineering Conference (MSEC), ASME, and North American Manufacturing Research Conference (NAMRC), SME. This special issue includes nine papers that describe the innovations and detailed progress in the following areas: - Characterization of materials - Fundamental study and modeling of material removal process - Manufacturing control and optimization - Manufacturing processes for new hard materials - Micro-/Nano-scale manufacturing - Tool manufacturing and performance - Metrology and evaluation - Surface characterization This special issue includes technical and scientific discussions that suggest new key technologies for future manufacturing. We hope that this will help readers understand manufacturing processes and improve their operations. We thank the authors and reviewers for their generous cooperation and the editing staff for their contributions.

Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal 8, no. 12 (December 31, 2021): 317–45. http://dx.doi.org/10.14738/assrj.812.11476.

Abstract:
This paper examines the "Hispanic (American) Health Paradox," the juxtaposition of Hispanics’ longer lifespan than the average American amid numerous inequities regarding social determinants of health. Hispanic Americans endure multiple health disparities with a higher incidence and prevalence of chronic conditions. They also experience multiple psychosocial and physical health challenges, including higher rates of food insecurity, poverty, segregation, discrimination, and limited or no access to medical care. Nevertheless, Hispanics enjoy better physical well-being and lower mortality rates when compared to non-Hispanics in the United States (Ruiz et al., 2021). This project aims to analyze the sources of this group’s biosocial advantages and resilience, allowing them to have a longer lifespan amidst their lower health status and increased risk for chronic conditions. It explores the political and social justice implications of these inequities. It also examines the strategies to close the gap on Latinos' current health care disparities via public policy aspects of federal and state legislature. A narrative review method was utilized to examine the existing literature on this paradoxical effect. Keywords based on Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) used to search resources for relevant studies included: Hispanic health paradox (health paradox, immigrant paradox), ethnic minorities (Latinos, LatinX), health disparities (disproportionate health, health inequities), social justice (healthcare stakeholders, health inequities solutions, inequities recommendations), mental health, physical health, and co-morbidities. A quality assessment of full-text peer-reviewed articles yielded 80 articles to compile this narrative review. The research revealed that, despite glaring disparities in social determinants of health, Hispanic Americans have overall experienced better health outcomes through a culture that emphasizes spirituality, community support, and strong family ties.

Full text
Abstract:
In April 1859 a group of well-to-do manufacturers and Republican politicians coaxed a reclusive Henry Carey, Philadelphia's pre-eminent economist, from his study to a public dinner in his honour. One hundred and twenty five names were at the foot of an invitation to dine at the opulent La Pierre Hotel in recognition of Carey's “service in behalf of American industrial interests.” The banqueting hall glittered with brilliantly illuminated chandeliers trimmed with floral arrangements; at one end a banner proclaimed “Protection to American Labor,” although, curiously, none of the guests looked as though they actually laboured; strung across the other end of the hall another banner blazoned “Harmony of Interests,” but only one interest sat at table. These two slogans encapsulate Carey's world view. He had a vision of an ideal America in which small manufacturing towns would spread across the land. To him “association ” allowed farmers to exchange products with neighbouring mechanics and to develop America beyond the stage of primary producer. Towns would grow into cities, generate a social and cultural life, and cities would trade with other cities. By such a process all underdeveloped nations would achieve economic maturity. Through the free association of co-operating individuals, town and country and capital and labour achieved harmony. The only way to overcome the baneful effect of British imperialism was through the protective tariff. To Carey's way of thinking, free trade was the antithesis of association because it created “centralization,” a system in which a core industrial capitalism traded manufactures for raw materials with a faraway and less developed periphery. Trading at such a distance allowed a merchant class to intervene and siphon off the hard-won efforts of labour. Free trade led to wild, speculative fluctuations in economic activity, periodic overproduction as consumers were not matched by producers, and long-term underdevelopment of the agricultural regions of the American South and West which lay outside the orbit of north-eastern manufacturers. Carey's ripened theoretical position was consequent upon the enormous changes experienced by American society during the decades of the 1830s, 40s and 50s. Like all utopias, the future was intimately linked to the hopes and fears of the present. To the growing but still subaltern class of manufacturers that rubbed shoulders at La Pierre's dinner tables, he offered a comforting vision of American small-town life as an antidote to the reality of British social polarization and class conflict.

Abstract:
Much has been written about how job satisfaction may or may not affect production, morale, and quality of work. However, most job satisfaction studies have been conducted in the area of manufacturing and management, but none have been conducted in the field of public horticulture. Job satisfaction was examined in 245 employees from 30 public horticulture institutions in the mid-Atlantic region of the American Association of Botanic Gardens and Arboreta (AABGA) using the Job Descriptive Index (JDI) and Job in General (JIG). Our purpose was to determine if differences in job satisfaction existed based on an individual' s job (management, horticulture, or other), sex, or other demographic information. In general, public horticulture employees reported satisfaction with work on their current job, supervision of co-workers, and their jobs in general, but showed dissatisfaction with their opportunities for promotion. They were ambivalent about their current pay. However, significant differences (P < 0.05) were seen between the sexes on satisfaction with current pay and among management, horticulture, and other staff on work on current job, current pay, opportunities for promotion, and co-workers.

Abstract:
Przedmiot badań: Publikacja dotyczy problematyki związanej ze zwalczaniem choroby za­kaźnej pszczół miodnych (Apis mellifera), jaką jest zgnilec amerykański (Paenibacillus larvae, American foulbrood, zgnilec złośliwy), w świetle polskich unormowań prawnych. Przedsta­wione rozważania obejmują co do zasady ustawę z dnia 11 marca 2004 r. o ochronie zdrowia zwierząt oraz zwalczaniu chorób zakaźnych zwierząt, a także rozporządzenie Ministra Rol­nictwa i Rozwoju Wsi z dnia 11 lipca 2016 r. w sprawie zwalczania zgnilca amerykańskiego pszczół oraz Kodeks dobrej praktyki produkcyjnej w pszczelarstwie jako regulację niemającą mocy wiążącej. Ponadto przedmiotem artykułu jest także wykazanie roli pszczół w całym eko­systemie wraz z danymi statystycznymi prezentującymi m.in. liczbę pszczelarzy i pni pszcze­lich w Polsce za lata 2009–2018 oraz liczbę ognisk zgnilca amerykańskiego w Polsce w latach 2012–2018.1 Cel badawczy: Teza badawcza zmierza do udzielenia odpowiedzi na podstawowe pytanie –czy rozwiązania przyjęte w polskim prawodawstwie w wystarczający sposób chronią populacjępszczoły miodnej przed zagrożeniem w postaci zgnilca amerykańskiego. Metoda badawcza: W publikacji zastosowano formalno-dogmatyczną analizę tekstu prawnego z perspektywy nauk biologicznych i weterynaryjnych. W tym celu wykorzystano w opracowaniu także informacje uzyskane z Ministerstwa Rolnictwa i Rozwoju Wsi, Ministerstwa Środowiska, Instytutu Ogrodnictwa – Zakładu Pszczelnictwa w Puławach, a także raporty pokontrolne Naj­wyższej Izby Kontroli. Wyniki: Zdaniem Autorów polskie regulacje prawne w zakresie zwalczania zgnilca amerykań­skiego należy co do zasady ocenić pozytywnie, choćby z uwagi na fakt, że jako jedyne schorzenie zakaźne pszczół miodnych na terytorium Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej nieprzerwanie od 1946 r. pod­lega z urzędu obowiązkowemu zwalczaniu. Nie oznacza to jednak, że nie dostrzeżono żadnych mankamentów w analizowanych unormowaniach prawnych. Takim przykładem jest chociażby brak ustawowego obowiązku rejestracji założonych pasiek w weterynaryjnych jednostkach or­ganizacyjnych przez wszystkie podmioty utrzymujące pszczoły wraz informowaniem o każdej zmianie stanu prawnego lub faktycznego związanego z prowadzoną działalnością.

Abstract:
China’s economic growth has been revolutionary, and is the foundation of its increasingly prominent role in world affairs. It is the world’s second biggest economy, the largest manufacturing and trading nation, the consumer of half the world’s steel and coal, the biggest source of international tourists, and one of the most influential investors in developing countries from southeast Asia to Africa to Latin America. Multinational companies make billions of dollars in profits in China each year, while traders around the world shudder at every gyration of the country’s unruly stock markets. Perhaps paradoxically, its capitalist economy is governed by an authoritarian Communist Party that shows no sign of loosening its grip. China is frequently in the news, whether because of trade disputes, the challenges of its Belt and Road initiative for global infrastructure, or its increasing military strength. China’s political and technological challenges, created by a country whose political system and values differ dramatically from most of the other major world economies, creates uncertainty and even fear. China’s Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know is a concise introduction to the most astonishing economic and political story of the last three decades. Arthur Kroeber enhances our understanding of China’s changes and their implications. Among the essential questions he answers are: How did China grow so fast for so long? Can it keep growing and still solve its problems of environmental damage, fast-rising debt and rampant corruption? How long can its vibrant economy co-exist with the repressive one-party state? How do China’s changes affect the rest of the world? This thoroughly revised and updated second edition includes a comprehensive discussion of the origins and development of the US-China strategic rivalry, including Trump’s trade war and the race for technological supremacy. It also explores the recent changes in China’s political system, reflecting Xi Jinping’s emergence as the most powerful leader since Mao Zedong. It includes insights on changes in China’s financial sector, covering the rise and fall of the shadow banking sector, and China’s increasing integration with global financial markets. And it covers China’s rapid technological development and the rise of its global Internet champions such as Alibaba and Tencent.

Abstract:
AbstractSurface roughness is an essential property in the manufacturing industry to assess the quality of its products after finishing operations. However, the evaluation of surface quality in wood products usually depends on the subjective inspection of the operators, which implies a high variability in the final quality of the pieces. This study proposes a new method to estimate roughness parameters by applying algorithms on images of wood parts processed by robotic sanding. For this purpose, this article presents a hybrid approach based on features using the co-occurrence matrix applied to greyscale images processed with five edge detection algorithms. For the evaluation of the performance of this method, the researchers correlated five features for each edge detection algorithm with standard surface roughness parameters, obtaining high correlations. The results of this study constitute a first step in implementing the proposed method in inspection systems for optical roughness measurement of wood products in automated industrial environments.

Abstract:
Since the late 1980s a growing number of geographers and other social scientists have chronicled the apparent rise of post-Fordist economic systems (Scott and Storper 1987; Schoenberger 1988; Harvey 1989; Storper and Walker 1989; Boyer 1990; Storper 1997). These systems are said to employ a flexible approach to production reflected in employment relations, the organization of work within firms, and the broader social division of labour (Cooke and Morgan 1998). To some, the heart of this transformation lies in the rise of a new set offerees of production (Walker 1994). In particular, they point to a new set of flexible process technologies whose programmable properties offer producers prospects of great versatility, limited downtime, unparalleled precision, and superior quality. The same technologies are said to hold the potential to unleash the creative potential of workers, and to compel manufacturers to establish a new regime of co-operation on the shopfloor (Florida 1991). Despite the popularity of such arguments, their unqualified acceptance has not been universal. A critical literature has arisen which, among other things, questions the pervasiveness of such practices, especially in locations outside the paradigmatic flexible production regions (Gertler 1988; 1992; Sayer 1989; Pudup 1992). The evidence reviewed in Ch. 2 attests that, while rates of adoption of flexible technologies such as computerized numerical control (CNC) are reasonably high amongst manufacturers in countries such as the United States, Great Britain, and Canada, many firms in these countries have experienced considerable difficulty in trying to implement such technologies effectively (Jaikumar 1986; Beatty 1987; Meurer, Sobel, and Wolfe 1987; Kelley and Brooks 1988; Turnbull 1989; Oakey and O’Farrell 1992). Furthermore, the discussion in Ch. 2 also shows that there is an apparent regularity to the geography of technology adoption difficulty that is highly suggestive of its roots. Many of these implementation difficulties seem to arise in older, mature industrial regions, where manufacturing firms are far removed from the major production sites of the new flexible production technologies. Increasingly, the leading producers of these process technologies are to be found in such countries as Germany, Japan, and Italy, while once-dominant American machinery producers have seen their market shares drop significantly, both at home and abroad (Graham 1993).

Full text
Abstract:
The main objective of this work is to show the capabilities of additive manufacturing to obtain arches and overdentures from titanium alloys. Overdentures are obtained mainly by subtractive techniques in both titanium alloys and Co-Cr-Mo. Obtaining these overdentures in Ti-6Al-4V, with better biocompatibility than Co alloys, by additive manufacturing (AM), by both laser and electron beam techniques, is of increasing interest. However, adequate mechanical and microstructural characterization is necessary to bring them closer to the alloys obtained by forging and machining. Parts obtained by selective laser melting (SLM) have been developed, which show mechanical properties like those of casting and plastic deformation, although their plasticity decreases significantly. Its lamellar microstructure can be modified by thermal treatments that improve the plasticity of AM alloys, which currently present a deformation slightly lower than that required by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F2924-2021 standard. Therefore, there is a need to improve this property through appropriate thermal treatments. Its lamellar microstructure can be modified through heat treatments that can improve the plasticity of MA alloys, which currently have a deformation slightly lower than that required by the ASTM F2924-2021 standard. Hence, there is a need to improve this property through thermal treatments.

Full text
Abstract:
Tagamet emerged as the first blockbuster drug when its sales exceeded $1 billion in 1986, three years after its introduction to the market. An anti–peptic ulcer drug, Tagamet was discovered by James W. Black and his colleagues at Smith Kline & French’s (SK&F) British subsidiary in Welwyn Garden City. Before Tagamet, SK&F was a little-known U.S. drug firm in Philadelphia. After Tagamet, SK&F became one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. The history of Tagamet is one of the most extraordinary in the annals of medicine. It is a saga of a drug that almost escaped detection because the research efforts that began in 1964 did not seem to produce results within the first 11 years! Smith Kline started as a humble drug store in Philadelphia in 1830. During the American Civil War, Smith Kline was founded as a small apothecary by two physicians, John K. Smith and John Gilbert on North Second Street. Not only was Philadelphia the birthplace of the United States of America, it was also the cradle of American pharmacy. Wyeth, McNeil, Rorer, and Warner-Lambert all trace their origins to small drug stores established there during the Civil War. In the 1880s, Mahlon N. Kline led the company into research and manufacturing of its own products. In 1891, it absorbed French, Richards & Co. founded by Harry B. French, creating Smith Kline & French. After its establishment, the company slowly expanded its inventory. By the 1920s, it had some 15,000 products ranging from aspirin to liniment. Their Eskay’s Albumenized Food was highly popular as a digestible food for infants and the disabled. Later, the company did very well with Eskay’s Tablets for Seasickness. Its specialty, Eskay’s Neurophosphates, a nerve tonic, soothed millions of people at home and abroad. In 1929, Smith Kline & French Laboratories was created to devote itself solely to research and development (R&D). During the Great Depression year of 1936, the company stepped up its efforts in R&D (in a recent contrast, many pharmaceutical companies stepped down their R&D investments during the last recession of 2008).

Abstract One person who did not have a stand at the Great Exhibition was Stephen Moulton, friend of Charles Goodyear, although he had started a rubber manufacturing business in the West Country in 1848. Because of his importance in the legal battles soon to be fought by Charles Macintosh Co., it is worth looking at his background in the rubber business. Born in 1794, he had emigrated to America with his wife, Elizabeth, and their nine children sometime before 1842, and there he struck up friendships with a number of rubber pioneers including Goodyear, Hayward, and the three Rider brothers.

Full text
Abstract:
Line pipe with a submerged-arc-welded seam was first made in 1930 at the Christy Park Works of National Tube Co.(6-1) The Christy Park process involved forming flat plates into “cans” in a set of presses. The edges of the cans were then joined by a single pass (multi-welder) submerged-arc weld made from the outside surface onto a backing shoe located at the ID surface. The finished pipe was rounded in a set of pyramid rolls. The Christy Park process was discontinued in 1932 for reasons unknown and some of the equipment was sold to Western Pipe and Steel Company. The Western Pipe and Steel Company became Consolidated Western Steel Company, and in 1946 they began manufacturing the first large diameter (30-inch) submerged-arc welded pipe possibly using at least some of the Christy Park equipment.(6- 2) By 194 8, Consolidated Western had developed a double submerged-arc-welded seam welding process and was becoming an important supplier of line pipe. A double submerged-arc-welded seam consists of at least one pass being made from the inside and one pass being made from the outside of the pipe. By 1960 several manufacturers were making double submerged-arc-welded (DSAW) line pipe,(6-3 to 6-7) and DSAW pipe remains today as one of the three principle processes for line pipe manufacturing.(6-8, 6-9)

Abstract:
The automobile industry simultaneously entices and challenges developing countries. It is a leading employer, a major trader, and a crucial integrator of manufacturing technologies. Would-be entrants into the industry face formidable challenges, however: high entry barriers, demanding quality requirements, and (for components producers) assemblers’ expectations that component producers will be able to co-locate with their plants. Only 15 of the world’s largest auto components manufacturers come from outside Europe, Japan, or North America. Changes in technology and regional and global trade regimes have consolidated the industry and reduced the availability of policy instruments. Nonetheless, opportunities exist for developing economies, not least because of the potential for integration into regional and global supply chains. Most of the growth in demand for autos is concentrated in the developing world. Less developed countries on the periphery of major markets have substantially increased their share of global output over the last two decades.

Various characterization techniques were applied to investigate the cell morphology, crystallization behavior, and static and dynamic mechanical properties of solid molded samples, foamed samples using CO2 or water as a single blowing agent, and foamed samples using both CO2 and water as co-blowing agents. Compared with CO2 foamed scaffolds, scaffolds produced by the co-blowing method exhibit much more uniform cell morphologies without a noticeable reduction in mechanical properties. Moreover, these TPU scaffolds have almost no skin layer, which permits free transport of nutrients and waste throughout the samples, which is highly desirable in tissue engineering. The effect of these blowing agents on the shear viscosity of various samples is also reported.

Abstract:
A novel combination approach to producing quality foamed injection molded parts has been investigated. By combining extruded, gas-laden pellets with microcellular injection molding, the processing benefits and material characteristics of using both N2 and CO2 blowing agents can be realized, thus yielding features superior to that of using either N2 or CO2 alone. Using an optimal content ratio for the blowing agents, as well as the proper sequence of introducing the gases, foamed parts with a much better morphology can be produced. In particular, extruding N2 gas-laden pellets, followed by microcellular injection molding with higher amounts of CO2, produces a cellular structure that is very fine and dense. In this paper, the theoretical background is discussed and experimental results show that this combined approach leads to significant improvements in foam cell morphology for low density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) using two different mold geometries.

Abstract:
Bioprinting, or layer by layer additive tissue fabrication, is a revolutionary concept recently emerged as an interdisciplinary effort to produce three-dimensional living organ for clinical application. Among many challenges, it was agreed that inclusion of vascular system is critical for maintaining the viability and functionality of relatively thick 3D bioprinted tissue constructs. Our previous research addressed the printability of novel vessel-like micro-fluidic channels with alginate hydrogel and co-axial nozzles. Here, we further investigated the influence of bioprinting parameters on cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs) survival during and post printing. The results of this study revealed that quantifiable cell death could be induced by varying dispensing pressure, co-axial nozzle geometry, biomaterial concentration. However, damaged cells were able to recover during incubation, as well as undergo proliferation to certain extend. These findings may serve as a guideline for optimizing our system as well as predict cell damage in future studies.

Abstract:
This research investigates the nonwoven wheels polishing of Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo alloys, which are biocompatible materials for medical implants. The structure of the high porosity nonwoven wheels consisting of the nonwoven fibers and abrasive grains are characterized. The compressibility and stiffness of the wheel are measured. The stiffness of the wheel is nonlinear depending on the wheel surface speed and compression depth. Polishing tests at two levels of wheel surface speed and compression depth are conducted. Surface roughness and polishing forces are studied. Results demonstrated that polishing of Ti-6Al-4V is difficult, which has twice larger surface roughness than that of Co-Cr-Mo. The nonwoven wheel operating at lower surface speed and smaller compression depth is beneficial to generate a better surface roughness for Ti-6Al-4V and Co-Cr-Mo.

Abstract:
The demand for lightweight and high-performance thermoset fiber composites, such as the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites, has been rapidly increasing in a wide variety of industries. However, thermoset composites require cross linking for curing and consolidation, which is time consuming and can often take several hours. Additionally, the associated capital, operation, and maintenance costs are immense. The major challenge in the additive manufacturing and repair of thermoset-matrix fiber composites is an issue with the in-situ curing. To address this challenge, one of the promising solutions is to use the frontal polymerization technique to significantly reduce the curing time, from several hours to only a few seconds, while simultaneously obviating the need for external heating sources. In this work, the frontal polymerization of the epoxy resin, i.e., one of the most used thermoset resins for fiber composites, is investigated. Specifically, the frontal polymerization is initiated by the ultraviolet LED light. Then, with the help of a thermal co-initiator, the exothermic heating released due to the photopolymerization triggers the thermal polymerization, leading to a selfsustained polymerization front to form and propagate through the epoxy resin. Preliminary experimental results on the effect of weight fraction of the thermal coinitiator on the performance of the frontal polymerization of epoxy resin are presented and discussed. Results include the temperature measurements, SEM images showing the surface morphology of the cured epoxy resin specimens, and the tensile properties of the cured epoxy resin. The tensile properties of the epoxy resin specimens cured using the frontal polymerization technique are also compared with those of a conventional thermoset epoxy resin.

Abstract:
More than 380,000 hips are replaced with total joint prostheses each year in the U.S. Wear debris generated by metal-on-metal implant designs is of concern due to potential adverse biological effects arising from chronic exposure of human tissue to the wear debris. This paper presents a new methodology for optimizing the wear performance of prosthesis made of Co-Cr-Mo alloys by varying tool edge geometry and machining conditions to alter the wear behavior of this alloy, while also controlling the residual stresses induced during the machining process. The machining process causes inhomogeneous inelastic deformations near the surface layer of machined parts which create residual stresses in the surface of machined components. Residual stresses in the machined surface and the subsurface are affected by cutting tool material, tool geometry, workpiece, tool-work interface conditions, and the cutting parameters such as feed rate, depth of cut and cutting speed. In the current work, residual stresses were measured using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). The surface residual stresses in two directions (radial and hoop) were measured on the machined pins after machining with different machining conditions, but prior to the wear test. Wear behavior of Co-Cr-Mo alloy pin specimens, produced from machining with varying tool edge geometry and machining conditions, was studied using a custom-made biaxial motion pin-on-disc tribological testing system in which the pin specimen is immersed in a simulated bio-fluid environment. Wear-induced weight loss (± 10 μg) and changes in surface roughness (± 0.001 μm) were obtained at 100,000 cycle intervals upto 500,000 cycles. Metallographic analysis was performed on the machined pin specimens to analyze the microstructure and microhardness before and after testing. The rate of wear for the specimens was lowest for those pins where the change of the subsurface microhardness was small due to prevention of additional steady state wear after the initial run-in wear in the wear tester. A combination or response surface methodology and genetic algorithm (GA) was used in to optimize the various machining parameters for minimized wear generation. The optimal combination of the four machining parameters (feed 0.18mm/rev, nose radius 0.6 mm, cutting speed 27.6 m/min and depth of cut 0.38) produced the largest compressive residual stresses on the surface and subsurface of the implants thereby reducing the wear/debris generation by about fifty percent.

Abstract:
Three innovative extrusion processes for the manufacture of multi-material parts are discussed: co-extrusion of discontinuously steel reinforced aluminum profiles, composite extrusion of continuously steel wire reinforced profiles and composite rod extrusion. In the first two processes the embedded steel elements are not deformable while by composite rod extrusion both materials are deformable. By means of experimental and numerical analysis, the parameters that mainly influence the reinforcement ratio, the extrusion force as well as the material distribution are analyzed. On the basis of this, analytical approaches are deduced to describe the process limits for the technologies. The paper closes with examples of applications regarding the lightweight requirements as well as functional integrations by forming multi-materials.

Abstract:
This paper presents fabrication of tapered, high aspect ratio bio mimetic cilia from Nickel-polydimethyl siloxane (Ni-PDMS) composite by using bulk lithography technique and ceramic molding. Many research groups suggested fabrication of bio mimetic cilia using various techniques which are based on soft lithography and VLSI techniques. Recently a novel single layer micro fabrication technique known as ‘bulk lithography’ which uses an unconstrained photopolymer has been reported by co-authors. This technique is used to fabricate a polymer cilia pattern (an array of photopolymerised inverted cone profile) and using this pattern a ceramic green body is fabricated by slip casting technique. An aqueous suspension containing sub micron size alumina is used to cast ceramic green body. After casting this cilia pattern makes negative impression of tapered holes on green ceramic body. During sintering of green ceramic body the polymer burns off resulting in ceramic mould with tapered holes imprinted on it. This mold retains shape of a tapered hole though it shrinks in size after sintering. This mold is used further to cast Ni-PDMS composite in the form of cilia structures.

Abstract:
Ireland has been called the Silicon Valley of Europe. Like the Silicon Valley in the U.S. it has a large amount of waste created by the Microchip Industry. Ireland is also an agricultural country. A large amount of bio-waste has been stockpiled in Ireland. This is the result of recent outbreaks/epidemics of animal diseases in the EU. The current growth industry of Ireland is the chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Nine of the top ten pharmaceutical companies are manufacturing in Ireland. Wastes from these industries are often toxic and hazardous. They can contain large amounts of combustible organic compounds depending on their source. Since Ireland is an island it has special problems disposing of waste. Waste comes in as products as packaging and it doesn’t go out. The emerging solution is Incineration. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) can contain many forms of metal and chemistry under normal conditions. When a large amount of the primary industry of a region is chemistry based and agricultural based there is the probability of more than usual amount of toxic residue in the refuse. The ash from incineration contains items such as dioxins & heavy metals that are environmental toxins. Using a Plasma Pyrolysis Vitrification (PPV) process the volume of the resultant ash from incineration can be further reduced by as much as 30 to 1. A PPV process has an added advantage of giving an incineration facility the capability of rendering ash safe for reuse as construction material and as a side benefit reclaiming many valuable elemental components of the ash. The PPV plant can be used to destroy waste directly and economically as long as the gate fees are high. One byproduct of incinerator ash smelting/destruction using a PPV process is CO gas, a combustible fuel resource for power generation. Precious metals may also be reclaimed as an alloy material by-product.
