Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of gears based on vibration signatures - A review
Abstract: Gearbox is widely used in industrial and military applications. It is subjected to high service load and harsh operating conditions or inevitable fatigue, due to which faults may develop in gears. Fault diagnosis plays an important role in condition monitoring to enhance the machine time. Vibration-based condition monitoring can be applied in gear systems to detect the origination and expansion of fault before the occurrence of failure. Eventually, occurrence of …

Determination of Quick Switching Double Sampling System by Attributes under Fuzzy Poisson Distribution: Acceptance Number Tightening
Abstract: AbstractAcceptance sampling plans are used to accept or reject the lots based on the inspection of samples. A mixture of acceptance sampling plans with switching rules for changing from one plan to another are called acceptance sampling schemes. The simple and most generally used sampling scheme is quick switching system (QSS-1). Quick switching system with reference to single sampling plan is a system which requires fewer samples for processes running …

Investigation of Microhardness and Microstructure Using Friction Stir Welding of Dissimilar Aluminium Alloys
Abstract: In this paper Friction Stir Welding (FSW) of two dissimilar aluminium alloys (AA5083 and AA6061) was successfully carried out by considering their advancing and retreating side during the process. It was observed from this experiment that the materials located on advancing side experience a longer contact under the shoulder of tool during process. This contact causes deformed and undeformed material to get larger contact with each other, so that the …

Abstract: The appreciation of genetic factors as arbiters of human disease is a relatively recent development in medical history. Scattered references to inheritance of biological characteristics may be found in the records of several millennia. In which comes the Ayurvedic texts. In Ayurvedic texts the genetic concept of inheritance is beautifully described in Caraka Sharir Sthan. Although Other Authors also described in direct or indirect way the genetic basis of inheritance …

Living with Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Abstract: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD deficiency) is an X-linked recessive hereditary disease characterized by abnormally low levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, a metabolic enzyme involved in the pentose phosphate pathway, especially important in red blood cell metabolism. G6PD deficiency is the most common human enzyme defect. Individuals with this disease may exhibit non-immune hemolytic anemia in response to a number of causes, most commonly infection or exposure to certain medications or fava …

ALADIN and its Protein Interactions with the Nucleoproteins: An Insilico Analysis
Abstract: The nuclear pore complex (NPCs) are big, protein complexes made up of multiple units that traverse the nuclear envelope (NE), establishing a discerning channel between the cytoplasm and nucleus for the nucleocytoplasmic transport. It has different roles in cellular processes, like cell-cycle progression, control of gene expression, and signal transduction. NPC is a vast and complex structure, compiled from almost 30 proteins, termed nucleoporins. Earlier studies have shown that each …

Clinical Practice: The Differential Diagnosis of Dental Pain
Abstract: In clinical dental practice, patients often present with pain in the oral cavity. While some oral pain may be generalized in nature, the clinician has to consider other factors that involve pain and discomfort. Many symptomatic teeth do not need endodontic treatment – on the contrary, they have undiagnosed occlusal problems, caries, fractures or referred pain. For the teeth needing endodontic treatment, this paper provides several modes of diagnostic methodology. …

Prevalence of Dental Fluorosis in Area of Yemen with Above Optimal Level of Fluoride in Drinking Water: An Exploratory Survey
Abstract: Dental Fluorosis is a developmental defect in enamel formation. It is caused by excessive fluoride intake while teeth are developing; during this period (before teeth erupt) dental tissue is very sensitive to fluoride, typically during a child’s first eight years. The aim of this study is to provide the community with sufficient knowledge about the problem and suggest solutions for prevention from it in future. This study was conducted from …

Prevalence of Oral Mucosa Lesions in Smoking, Non-Smoking, Diabetic Patients with Smoking and Diabetic Patients without Smoking
Abstract: Tobacco smoking habit is a risk factor for many oral lesions. A positive association between cigarette smoking and acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) was first reported over four decades ago. The dental loss was noted more in smokers than non-smokers. The periodontal disease is noted more in smokers and results alteration in the gingival indexes (GI) and gingival bleeding (GBI) indexes in smokers. Many studies revealed that a strong an …

Dental Fluorosis: A Review
Abstract: Fluoride is known to affect mineralized tissues of the body and, when consumed at greater than optimal levels, it disturbs the process of tooth and bone mineralization. Excessive consumption of fluoride can cause dental or skeletal fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis is caused by consumption of much higher quantities of fluoride over extended periods and is a crippling disease characterized by severe bone deformities. On the other hand, dental fluorosis is much …
