Space flight causes astronauts to be exposed to adaptation in both the vestibular and body load-sensing somatosensory systems. The goal of these studies was to examine the contributions of vestibular and body load-sensing somatosensory influences on vestibular mediated head movement control during locomotion after long-duration space flight. Subjects walked on a motor driven treadmill while performing a gaze stabilization task. Data were collected from three independent subject groups that included bilateral labyrinthine deficient (LD) patients, normal subjects before and after 30 minutes of 40% bodyweight unloaded treadmill walking, and astronauts before and after long-duration space flight. Motion data from the head and trunk segments were used to calculate the amplitude of angular head pitch and trunk vertical translation movement while subjects performed a gaze stabilization task, to estimate the contributions of vestibular reflexive mechanisms in head pitch movements. Exposure to unloaded locomotion caused a significant increase in head pitch movements in normal subjects, whereas the head pitch movements of LD patients were significantly decreased. This is the first evidence of adaptation of vestibular mediated head movement responses to unloaded treadmill walking. Astronaut subjects showed a heterogeneous response of both increases and decreases in the amplitude of head pitch movement. We infer that body load-sensing somatosensory input centrally modulates vestibular input and can adaptively modify vestibularly mediated head-movement control during locomotion. Thus, space flight may cause central adaptation of the converging vestibular and body load-sensing somatosensory systems leading to alterations in head movement control.

Published: December 2019

This study investigated the impact of visual-vestibular stimulation on performance of an auditory information processing task in young and older adults. Performance on a spatial choice reaction time task was compared to performance on a non-spatial choice reaction time task. The tasks were performed during simultaneous rotational and moving visual stimulation. The non-spatial task was an auditory frequency discrimination task while the spatial task was a right-left lateralization task. Visual and vestibular conditions consisted of a non-movement baseline, sinusoidal earth-vertical axis rotation (EVAR) in darkness, off-vertical axis rotation (OVAR) in darkness at a constant velocity, OVAR in darkness with a sinusoidal profile, EVAR with a lighted visual surround, constant velocity optokinetic stimulation, and sinusoidal optokinetic stimulation. Baseline reaction times were subtracted from reaction times during each stimulus condition to yield “task cost”, which was analyzed statistically. Subjects were healthy young (n=20; 24 ± 2.7 yrs; 10F) and older (n=29; 73 ± 6.0 yrs; 18F) adults. Results indicated that task cost was affected by the visual-vestibular condition and a task x condition interaction. There was no main effect of task or age group and no significant interaction with age. Otolithic stimulation and visual stimulation were associated with greater task cost compared to semicircular canal stimulation. Combining semicircular canal with otolithic or visual stimulation had no additional effect beyond otolithic or visual stimulation alone. This pattern of task cost being larger for otolith or visual vs. semicircular canal stimulation was found for both the spatial and non-spatial tasks. The significant interaction between condition and task type revealed that the task cost for the spatial task was larger than the task cost for the non-spatial task during visual conditions but not during non-visual conditions although the visual and non-visual conditions were not entirely comparable. This study suggests that interference of vestibular stimulation with cognitive processing is especially prominent for otolithic and visual stimulation although the strength of the various visual-vestibular stimuli may not have been uniform. Also, spatial tasks are more affected than non-spatial tasks during visual stimulation and interference between vestibular stimulation and cognitive processing is not age dependent for these relatively easy tasks.
Hair cell specific NTPDase6 immunolocalisation in vestibular end organs: Potential role of purinergic signaling in vestibular sensory transduction
Authors: O'Keeffe Mary G. , Thorne Peter R. , Housley Gary D. , Robson Simon C. , Vlajkovic Srdjan M.
Published: December 2019

A complex extracellular nucleotide signalling system acting on P2 receptors is involved in regulation of cochlear function in the mammalian inner ear. Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (E-NTPDases) are ectonucleotidases that regulate P2 receptor signalling pathways in mammalian tissues by hydrolysing extracellular nucleotides to the respective nucleosides. All enzymes from the CD39/ENTPD family (NTPDase1-8) are expressed in the adult rat cochlea, but their expression and distribution in the vestibular end organ is unknown. This report demonstrates selective expression of NTPDase6 by rat vestibular hair cells. Hair cells transducing both angular acceleration (crista ampullaris) and static head position (maculae of the utricle and saccule) exhibited strong immunolabelling with a bias towards the sensory pole and in particular, the hair cell bundle. NTPDase6 is an intracellular enzyme that can be released in a soluble form from cell cultures and shows an enzymatic preference for nucleoside 5'-diphosphates, such as guanosine 5'-diphosphate (GDP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP). The main function of NTPDase6 may be the regulation of nucleotide levels in cellular organelles by regulating the conversion of nucleotides to nucleosides. NTPDase6 immunolocalisation in the vestibular end organ could be linked to the regulation of P2 receptor signalling and sensory transduction, including maintenance of vestibular hair bundles.
Sensory conflict compared in microgravity, artificial gravity, motion sickness, and vestibular disorders1
Authors: Holly Jan E. , Harmon Sarah M.
Published: December 2019

Perceptual disturbances and motion sickness are often attributed to sensory conflict. We investigated several conditions: head movements in microgravity, periodic motions in 1-g, and locomotion with vestibular disorders. In every case, linear vectors such as linear and gravitational acceleration are crucial factors, as previously found for head movements in artificial gravity, and thus the importance of measuring linear vectors emerges as a common theme. By modeling the sensory conflict between the vestibular and somatosensory systems, we computed a measure of linear conflict known as the "Stretch Factor". We hypothesized that the motions with the greatest Stretch Factor would be the most provocative motions. Results: For head movements in microgravity, the Stretch Factor can explain why fast movements are more provocative than slow movements, and why pitch movements are more provocative than yaw movements. For off-vertical-axis rotation (OVAR) in 1-g, the Stretch Factor predicts that the most provocative frequency is higher than that for vertical linear oscillation (VLO). For example, the same sensor dynamics can predict a most provocative frequency around 0.2 Hz for VLO but 0.3 Hz for OVAR, solving a mystery of this experimentally observed discrepancy. Finally, we determined that certain sensory conflict perceptions reported by vestibular patients could be explained via mathematical simulation.

Published: December 2019

Few reliable tests are available for screening people rapidly for vestibular disorders although such tests would be useful for a variety of testing situations. Balance testing is widely performed but of unknown value for screening. The goal of this study was to determine the value of tests of walking balance for screening people with vestibular impairments. We tested three groups of patients with known vestibular impairments: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, unilateral vestibular weakness, and post-acoustic neuroma resection. We compared them to normal subjects. All subjects were independently ambulatory without gait aids. Subjects were tested on tandem walking (TW) with eyes open and eyes closed for 10 steps, walking with no additional head motions and with augmented head rotations in yaw for 7 m (WwHT), and an obstacle avoidance task, the Functional Mobility Test (FMT). Subjects wore a 3-D motion sensor centered at mid-torso to capture kinematic measures. Patients and normals differed significantly on some behavioral measures, such as the number of steps to perform TW, and on some but not all kinematic measures. ROC analyses, however, were at best only moderate, and failed to find strong differences and cut-points that would differentiate the groups. These findings suggest that although patients and normals differ in performance of these tests in some interesting ways the groups are not sufficiently different on these tests for easy use as screening tests to differentiate the populations.
Subjective posture in tridimensional space
Authors: Israël I. , Giannopulu I.
Published: December 2019

The internal representation of the body is intimately related to postural orientation. This assists us to correctly identify our position relative to the earth-vertical. The postural orientation about the pitch-Y axis is by default forward tilted while there is no such default about the roll-X axis. We hypothetized that the internal representation of body position would be different between the Y and X axes. We designed a study to assess the accuracy of self-driven whole-body orienting to the horizontal and the vertical about the X (roll) and Y (pitch) axes, with healthy seated subjects in complete darkness. Consistent with our hypothesis, the results showed that when trying to reach the horizontal with the X-axis, subjects remained on the same tilted direction as the initial posture. On the return way to the vertical, the subjects did not cross this (vertical) line. Whereas when reaching the horizontal with the Y-axis, there was an undershoot on the supine direction, and an overshoot on the prone direction: this discrepancy could be due to somatosensory cues to subjects in seated posture. The relevant mechanisms related to the internal representation of the body and graviceptive systems underlying the construction of an head-foot line are discussed.

Published: December 2019

This paper presents diagnostic criteria for vestibular migraine, jointly formulated by the Committee for Classification of Vestibular Disorders of the Bárány Society and the Migraine Classification Subcommittee of the International Headache Society (IHS). The classification includes vestibular migraine and probable vestibular migraine. Vestibular migraine will appear in an appendix of the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD) as a first step for new entities, in accordance with the usual IHS procedures. Probable vestibular migraine may be included in a later version of the ICHD, when further evidence has been accumulated. The diagnosis of vestibular migraine is based on recurrent vestibular symptoms, a history of migraine, a temporal association between vestibular symptoms and migraine symptoms and exclusion of other causes of vestibular symptoms. Symptoms that qualify for a diagnosis of vestibular migraine include various types of vertigo as well as head motion-induced dizziness with nausea. Symptoms must be of moderate or severe intensity. Duration of acute episodes is limited to a window of between 5 minutes and 72 hours.

Published: December 2019

Objective:  This study aimed to determine the prevalence of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis among patients who were initially assessed to have a nasopharyngeal mass and subsequently underwent biopsy in a Philippine Tertiary General Hospital from 2013 to 2015.

 

Methods: 

Design:           Case Series

Setting:           Tertiary National University Hospital

Participants: All patients with nasopharyngeal mass identified from January 2013 to December 2015 from a hospital wide census who underwent biopsy were investigated using chart and histopathology review. The prevalence of tuberculosis, malignancies and other findings were determined.

 

Results:  Among 285 nasopharyngeal biopsies done between 2013 and 2015, 33 (11.6%) were histologically compatible with nasopharyngeal tuberculosis, 177 (62.1%) were different types of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, 59 (20.7%) were chronic inflammation, 4 (1.4%) were lymphoma, 5 (1.8%) were normal, and 7 (2.5 %) had diagnoses other than those above.

 

Conclusion: This study suggests a relatively high prevalence rate (11.6%) of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis in patients who have a nasopharyngeal mass. This indicates that nasopharyngeal tuberculosis should always be a differential when confronted with a mass in the nasopharynx especially in tuberculosis endemic areas.

The Women, Peace and Security Agenda
Authors: O'Sullivan Míla
Published: December 2019

The adoption of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 onwomen, peace and security (WPS) in 2000 has prompted the developmentof an extensive WPS scholarship within the field of feminist InternationalRelations. The dynamic scholarly debate is characterised by certain tensionsbetween two feminist groups – the radical revolutionary one whichadvocates a redefinition of the global order and is more sceptical of theagenda, and the pragmatist one accentuating the compromise towards theexisting peace and security governance. This article explores the two mainsubjects of the WPS research – the discourse and implementation, as theyhave been informed by the revolutionary and pragmatist approaches. Thearticle shows that while the academic inquiries into the WPS discoursereveal disappointment with the compromises made regarding therevolutionary vision, this disappointment is also present in the literature onimplementation. The latter literature nonetheless acknowledges feministpragmatism as a way forward given the realities on the ground.

Authors: KHEROUF Soumaya , BOUARRA Nabil , MESSADİ Djelloul
Published: December 2019

This work aims to reveal the correlation of the boiling point values of phenolic compounds with their molecular structures using a quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) approach. A large number of molecular descriptors have been calculated from molecular structures by the DRAGON software. In this study, all 56 phenolic compounds were divided into two subsets: one for the model formation and the other for external validation, by using the Kennard and Stone algorithm. A four-descriptor model was constructed by applying a multiple linear regression based on the ordinary least squares regression method and genetic algorithm/variables subsets selection. The good of fit and predictive power of the proposed model were evaluated by different approaches, including single or multiple output cross-validations, the Y-scrambling test, and external validation through prediction set. Also, the applicability domain of the developed model was examined using Williams plot. The model shows R² = 0.876, Q²LOO = 0.841, Q²LMO = 0.831 and Q²EXT = 0.848. The results obtained demonstrate that the model is reliable with good predictive accuracy.

Authors: Rahbaran Sara , Aarabi Aazam , Pourabedin Mahsa
Published: December 2019

The effects of time, temperature and concentration of hydrogen peroxide on the extraction yield of fiber from defatted rice bran, its color, water binding and oil binding capacity were investigated using the central composition design with three variables. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and extracted fiber were added to drink yogurt in different ratios (0-0, as blank sample, 0-0.05, 0-0.1, 0-0.2, 0.5-0.05 and 1-0.05) and rheological properties of the drink were analyzed weekly for 21 days. The results showed that temperature and hydrogen peroxide concentration significantly affected fiber extraction yield, and hydrogen peroxide concentration had the greatest impact on L*. The process temperature had the greatest impact on oil binding capacity of the fiber. However, water binding capacity was not affected by any parameter. Rheological tests indicated that blank sample was a Newtonian fluid while the drink yogurt fortified with the fiber showed a pseudo-plastic behavior.

Authors: Lotrecchiano Nicoletta , Gioiella Filomena , Giuliano Aristide , Sofia Daniele
Published: December 2019

Environmental pollution in urban areas may be mainly attributed to the rapid industrialization and increased growth of vehicular traffic. As a consequence of air quality deterioration, the health and welfare of human beings are compromised. Air quality monitoring networks usually are used not only to assess the pollutant trend but also in the effective set-up of preventive measures of atmospheric pollution. In this context, monitoring can be a valid action to evaluate different emission control scenarios; however, installing a high space-time resolution monitoring network is still expensive. Merge of observations data from low-cost air quality monitoring networks with forecasting models can contribute to improving significantly emission control scenarios. In this work, a validation algorithm of the forecasting model for the concentration of small particulates (PM10 and PM2.5) is proposed. Results showed a satisfactory agreement between the PM concentration forecast values and the measured data from 3 air quality monitoring stations. Final average RMSE values for all monitoring stations are equal to about 4.5 µg/m3.

Published: December 2019

One of the most toxic pollutant gases produced by fossil fuels is carbon monoxide. Hence, the accurate and regular estimation and control of CO in the cities such as Tehran is inevitable. In this research, for the first time, CO concentration in ambient air was predicted based on 12 important urban and meteorological parameters by neural network. Also, the sensitivity analysis of the factors that effect on the concentration of carbon monoxide in Tehran was investigated based on the pollutant concentration predictive model. In this research, the daily statistical data of Tehran metropolis over the course of five consecutive years from 12 factors affecting the amount of carbon monoxide in Tehran, such as population, density, precipitation, temperature, urban traffic, wind speed, gasoil consumption, moisture, air flow, effective vision and air pressure was used. Based on this database, the artificial neural network with the best possible algorithm had been trained to predict this contaminant and root mean square error of model was equal to 2.54. Then, sensitivity analysis was done to find the most effective factor on the concentration of carbon monoxide, urban density and air pressure. In order to control this hazardous contaminant in urban management, these parameters should be taken into account. Based on the result, by preventing the construction of high towers in Tehran, wind speed average will increase and increasing in wind speed (25%) caused to reducing in carbon monoxide concentration (about 12%). Also, prevention of urban density (25%) will cause to prevention of increasing CO concentration (about 10%).

DINAR AND DIRHAM; SUSTAINABLE MONEY FOR SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY
Authors: Saratian Eko Tama Putra , Arief Harefan , Soelton Mochamad , Vizano Nico Alexander , Mugiono Mugiono
Published: December 2019

This is a community service related to the development of economic society through socialization on dinar and dirham as sustainable money. Money in sharia is precious metals such as gold and silver, or commodities such as wheat, barley, dates, and salt, which are the consumed commodities daily as food and have a shelf life. The failure of the current economic and monetary system is caused by the use of fiat money as a medium of exchange that deviates from the gold standard. Ironically, many ordinary people do not understand the real concept of money. In returning the standard of exchange, it is necessary to learn deeply about this subject. For this reason, there is a need for socialization to the wider community to open the way for the return of the dinar and dirham as a true medium of exchange. The results of the activity are expected to increase good understanding of the concept of money and the public can learn to do transaction using dinar and dirham in the future.

Published: December 2019

Nowadays the result of infrared and visible image fusion has been utilized in significant applications like military, surveillance, remote sensing and medical imaging applications. Discrete wavelet transform based image fusion using unsharp masking is presented. DWT is used for decomposing input images (infrared, visible). Approximation and detailed coefficients are generated. For improving contrast unsharp masking has been applied on approximation coefficients. Then for merging approximation coefficients produced after unsharp masking average fusion rule is used. The rule that is used for merging detailed coefficients is max fusion rule. Finally, IDWT is used for generating a fused image. The result produced using the proposed fusion method is providing good contrast and also giving better performance results in reference to mean, entropy and standard deviation when compared with existing techniques.
THE CONCEPT OF CHINESE-INDONESIAN-NESS AS SEEN FROM ERNEST PRAKASA’S ROLES IN NGENEST, CEK TOKO SEBELAH, SUSAH SINYAL AND STIP & PENSIL
Authors: Sutandio Anton , Angjaya Sonny
Published: December 2019

This article discusses four films entitled Ngenest (2015), Cek Toko Sebelah (2016), Susah Sinyal (2017), and Stip & Pensil (2017) in which Ernest Prakasa played a role, in the context of how the four films construct Chinese-Indonesian-ness. In the context of cinema, the appearance of Chinese-Indonesians on the screen during the New Order regime was scarce, and if there is any, the depiction was highly stereotyped. Only after Reform era in the late 1990s that Chinese-Indonesians and their culture began to re-appear on screen. Ernest Prakasa is one of few Chinese-Indonesians who publicly celebrates his Chinese-ness through entertainment platform.  Ethnic identity theory applied on the discussion of the film cinematography and mise-en-scene to show what the films say about the concept of Chinese-Indonesian-ness. The findings show that Prakasa not only celebrates being a Chinese-Indonesian, but he also performs a self-mockery as Chinese-Indonesians by explicitly emphasizing the Chinese-Indonesians stereotypes. He also tries to re-establish inter-ethnic relationship and introduce contemporary Chinese-Indonesian-ness concept through his films.

This study aimed to discuss the activity of actinidin in meat tenderization and to understand the ability of actinidin as a substitute for other tenderizing enzymes such as papain. Actinidin could be found in kiwi fruits with a similar structure and proteolytic activity characteristics to papain. The proteolytic activity of actinidin was found to be able to substitute papain in meat tenderizing without creating an off flavor side effect. However, increasing the actinidin concentration could enhance its proteolytic activity. Besides, actinidin also has the ability to hydrolyze collagen proteins and fibrinogens perfectly compared to papain activity.

ABSTRACT

Parental perception will affect the fulfillment of childrenâ€™s participation rights. Fullfilment of childrenâ€™s participation rights will be fulfilled optimally if parents pay anttention to opinions while providing opportunities for children to make and make decisions about the childâ€™s goals and self-interest. The subjects studied consisted of 5 subjects consisting of father and mother who had children aged 9- 12 years. This study uses qualitative research methods, with data retrieval tools in teh form of interviews, observation and documentation. From the research found data were the subjects do not fulfill the right of participation of children up to the maximum ladder where childrenâ€™s participation rights range from the first ladder to the third ladder. The first ladder to the third ladder is actually a non- participating ladder. This means that children is manipulated, dominated by parents, there is direct communation and the severity of the parent. The children felt disappointed, sad, and angry with the parents but they still tried to hear and obey the parentâ€™s decision. Children from third and fourth subjects experienced excessive fear to speak to their parent (father). Suggestions for parents to be more caring and fulfill the rights of childrenâ€™s participation so as not to affect the growth and development of children.

COOPERATION AND FOOD HARVESTING IN SIBERIA DURING THE PERIOD OF «WAR COMMUNISM»
Authors: Kokoulin Vladislav
Published: December 2019

The article discusses the role and place of cooperation in food harvesting in Siberia in the initial period of “war communism”. A strong stereotype is in the historiacal literature formed that harvesting in Siberia was carried out exclusively in the form of the razvjorstka, before the introduction of which grain wes collected at the procurement centers with “samotjok”. On the basis of the analysis of scientific sources of various departmental origin and materials of the periodical press, the author shows that “samotjok” is one of the propaganda cliches of that era. In reality, harvesting was carried out in three ways – the purchase of grain from the peasants, with the help of the procurement apparatus of the Red Army and through cooperation. The scientific novelty of the article is to reveal the role and place of cooperation in the process of harvesting, as well as to identify the reasons why the activity of cooperation was curtailed and prodrazvjorstka was introduced.

Removal of Fluoride from Groundwater by Batch Electrocoagulation Process Using Al Plate Electrodes
Authors: Karabulut Benan Yazici , Atasoy Ayse Dilek
Published: December 2019

Dental fluorosis cases are observed due to the high consumption of high fluoride drinking water in some parts of Anatolia. Fluorosis is resulted from high concentrations of fluoride in groundwater and observed in some regions of Turkey having volcanic rocks and geothermal fields. Results of fluoride analyses showed that the concentrations in groundwater samples were above the admissible limit values for potable water (>1.5 mg/L). Objectives of this work are; to study the high fluoride in groundwater of Sarım-Karataş region, its health effects and to examine its removal efficiency from groundwater by electrocoagulation (EC). EC process including the electrodes, reactor and the power source successfully removed the fluoride from groundwater sample. F removal rate was found as ~96% at the end of 3 hour.

Published: December 2019

Groundwater is one of the most important natural resources in the world and plays a very important role in the supply of drinking water. Fluoride is probably one of the most common groundwater pollutants in the world for various reasons (structure of soil and rocks, etc.). The concentration of fluoride in groundwater above 1.5 mg/L begins to pose some risks to human health. Various conventional techniques such as adsorption, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, precipitation have been developed for the removal of fluoride from water. However, they have several limitations, such as post-treatment re-treatment, less efficiency and higher installation costs. The electrocoagulation process is an effective technology for fluoride removal within conventional techniques. In this study, fluoride removal technologies are emphasized, and the studies done in this field are examined. The aim of this study is to investigate the advantages of electrocoagulation method in fluoride removal and to compare electrocoagulation process with other treatment technologies.
Pile Capacity Calculation by using SPT and CPT Data
Authors: Bol Ertan , Genç Zeynep Süreyya
Published: December 2019

In this paper, a study has been carried out to estimate the ultimate capacities of concrete circular piles which are used as foundation type due to reasons such as poor ground conditions, seismicity, high or irregular loads etc. by field tests. Two cone penetration tests (CPTU), which measure the pore water pressures on alluvial soils of the Adapazarı plain, were conducted at the same locations with drillings which SPT tests were carried out. Ultimate capacities of a single pile with a specific geometry were determined by the methods proposed in the literature by using the data obtained from SPT and CPT field tests at both points. According to this, it is concluded that pile capacities can give very different results even in short distances in regions which offer sudden layer changes in horizontal and vertical. Disadvantages of the SPT test in practice compared to CPT have been shown to cause also different values of pile capacities.

Çağımız üretim ve imalat sanayi için, imalat ve üretim hızlarının artırılması, üretimi etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biri haline gelmiştir. Ürün yada hizmetin mümkün olan en hızlı şekilde son kullanıcıya ulaştırılması üretim, stok ve pazarlama maliyetlerini önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu sebeple makine imalat sektörlerinin tamamında, uzay-havacılık, otomotiv, tüm kalıp imalat sektörlerinde yüsek hassasiyet ve yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerine sahip imalat teknikleri önem kazanmaktadır. Bu amaçla özellikle Tel erozyon ile imal edilen makine parçaları ve kalıp elamanları ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bunun sebebi; Yüksek konum, tolerans, yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleridir. Uygun parametreler ve tel ile birkaç farklı operasyonla elde edilebilecek tolerans değerleri daha hızlı ve kolay elde edilebilir. Bilinen talaşlı imalat yöntemleri ile üretilen makine elemanlarının yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerlerini iyileştirmek için ise üretim maliyetlerini artıran bir dizi taşlama ve parlatma işlemleri yapılmaktadır. Tel erozyon ile üretilen makine parçaları ve kalp elemanları ise bu işlem safhalarının bir yada bir kaçını atlayarak daha ölçü tamlığı ve tolerans hassasiyettine sahip yüzey pürüzlülük değerleri neredeyse taşlama ile elde edilen yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerine sahip ürünler elde edilmektedir. Burada talaşlı imalat ve Tel erozyonda imal temrinlerin ölçü tolerans değerleri, yüzey kalitesi, pürüzlülük değerlerini deneysel olarak inceleyip, sonuçlarını kıyaslayarak makine ve imalat sanayinde üretim maliyetlerinin düşürülmesine yönelik çalışma yapılacaktır.
