The synthesis of fungicidal aminophosphonic acid derivatives by Volckman, Janis F.

“…The use of Fast Atom Bombardment mass spectrometry has proven to be successful for the characterisation of aminophosphonic acid derivatives, especially phosphonopeptides, with the MH ion normally being the base peek. Phosphonopeptides give characteristic fragmentation patterns due to the sequential loss of [alpha]-lactam units arising from the amino acid chain. …”

Dry machining of brass using titanium carbonitride (TiCN) coated tool by Mohamed Ariff, Tasnim Firdaus, Kamarudin, Mohd Syahidan, Haron, Mohd Amiruddin

“…The optimum cutting condition for wet and dry machining of brass using TiCN coated cutting tool was found to be 498 m/min at d = 0.2 mm, f = 0.4 mm/rev. The tool tip temperature obtained from dry machining did not influence tool wear since the temperature rise is quite similar to the wet machining temperatures. …”
