The effect of diosgenin and condensed tannin in Musa x paradisiaca flower on rats milk composition and growth rate of suckling pups by Ngah, Nurziana, Mahmood, Azizah, Omar, Muhammad Nor

“…Pups growth rate was significantly improved for the groups treated with the aqueous and diosgenin extract in which the equation are y = 1.871x – 0.271 and y = 1.712x + 2.059, compared to negative control, metochlopramide and tannin which are y = 1.434x + 2.221, y = 1.349x + 3.602 and y = 1.221x + 5.397, respectively. The proximate value in dry weight basis of milk showed that it contains of moisture, fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate of 4.179 – 5.739 %, 36.248 – 45.563 %, 30.323 – 34.293 %, 6.52 - 8.451 % and 10.475 – 16.751 %, respectively. …”

Minimum chip thickness in machining MEMS structure using Tool Based Micromilling by Ali, Mohammad Yeakub, Mass Duki, Siti Hamizah, Mansor, Noor Adila

“…However,the issue in tool based micromilling is the minimum chip thickness which is often between5-30% of the tool edge radius. No chip will form if the depth of cut cannot achieve the minimum chip thickness value.The lack of control on minimum chip thickness often leads to the coarse machined surface, poor machining accuracy and difficult in chip removal from the machining zone which leads to burrformation.Hence, the chip formation mechanism should be studied deeply to avoid these problems.In this research WC was elected for tool material and Aluminium Alloy 1100 for work material for the investigation of minimum chip thickness.The experiment is being conducted on a miniature machine known as Microtools Integrated Multi-purpose machine modelled DT-110.The value of chip thickness produced by tool 4.8μmwith3mm/min feedrate,3000rpm cutting speed and 5μm depth of cut.The minimum chip thickness is useful for machining Micro electromechanical System(MEMS) and Bio-MEMSstructures.…”
