A new method for chatter suppression and improvement of surface roughness in end milling of mild steel by Amin, A. K. M. Nurul, Abd Aziz, Amir Akhyar, Mahmud, Md. Asif

“…In a micromilling process, where the spindle rotates an end mill to remove a portion of the workpiece, the unstable phenomenon, regenerative chatter also occurs due to changes in the chip thickness similar with the macro machining [4-5]. Altintas and Chan [6] stated that one of the major limitations on productivity in metal cutting is chatter vibration, which causes poor surface finish and tool damage. …”

An undiagnosed non functioning retroperitoneum paraganglioma, complicating a gynaecological surgery; a case report by Abd. Wahab, Noraziana, Gharib Bilal, Hakim, Zakaria, Alik Riasadesa, Awang, Mokhtar

“…Paragangliomas are uncommon tumors arising from the neuroendocrine elements (chief cells) of the paraganglia and symmetrically distributed along the aorta in close association with the sympathetic chain. Although functional tumors are easier to diagnose due to the clinical findings caused by excess secretion of catecholamines and an elevation of the urinary catecholamine levels, however the diagnosis of nonfunctioning paraganglioma of the retroperitoneum is diffi cult and only few cases have been made before exploratory laparotomy. …”
