Efficient Identification of Approximate Best Configuration of Training in Large Datasets
Authors: Huang Silu , Wang Chi , Ding Bolin , Chaudhuri Surajit
Published: September 2019

A configuration of training refers to the combinations of feature engineering, learner, and its associated hyperparameters. Given a set of configurations and a large dataset randomly split into training and testing set, we study how to efficiently identify the best configuration with approximately the highest testing accuracy when trained from the training set. To guarantee small accuracy loss, we develop a solution using confidence interval (CI)-based progressive sampling and pruning strategy. Compared to using full data to find the exact best configuration, our solution achieves more than two orders of magnitude speedup, while the returned top configuration has identical or close test accuracy.
Large-Scale Heterogeneous Feature Embedding
Authors: Huang Xiao , Song Qingquan , Yang Fan , Hu Xia
Published: September 2019

Feature embedding aims to learn a low-dimensional vector representation for each instance to preserve the information in its features. These representations can benefit various offthe-shelf learning algorithms. While embedding models for a single type of features have been well-studied, real-world instances often contain multiple types of correlated features or even information within a different modality such as networks. Existing studies such as multiview learning show that it is promising to learn unified vector representations from all sources. However, high computational costs of incorporating heterogeneous information limit the applications of existing algorithms. The number of instances and dimensions of features in practice are often large. To bridge the gap, we propose a scalable framework FeatWalk, which can model and incorporate instance similarities in terms of different types of features into a unified embedding representation. To enable the scalability, FeatWalk does not directly calculate any similarity measure, but provides an alternative way to simulate the similarity-based random walks among instances to extract the local instance proximity and preserve it in a set of instance index sequences. These sequences are homogeneous with each other. A scalable word embedding algorithm is applied to them to learn a joint embedding representation of instances. Experiments on four real-world datasets demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of FeatWalk.

Published: September 2019

In recent years an increasing number of researchers and practitioners have been suggesting algorithms for large-scale neural network architecture search: genetic algorithms, reinforcement learning, learning curve extrapolation, and accuracy predictors. None of them, however, demonstrated highperformance without training new experiments in the presence of unseen datasets. We propose a new deep neural network accuracy predictor, that estimates in fractions of a second classification performance for unseen input datasets, without training. In contrast to previously proposed approaches, our prediction is not only calibrated on the topological network information, but also on the characterization of the dataset-difficulty which allows us to re-tune the prediction without any training. Our predictor achieves a performance which exceeds 100 networks per second on a single GPU, thus creating the opportunity to perform large-scale architecture search within a few minutes. We present results of two searches performed in 400 seconds on a single GPU. Our best discovered networks reach 93.67% accuracy for CIFAR-10 and 81.01% for CIFAR-100, verified by training. These networks are performance competitive with other automatically discovered state-of-the-art networks however we only needed a small fraction of the time to solution and computational resources.
Model-Free IRL Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
Authors: Jain Vinamra , Doshi Prashant , Banerjee Bikramjit
Published: September 2019

The problem of learning an expert’s unknown reward function using a limited number of demonstrations recorded from the expert’s behavior is investigated in the area of inverse reinforcement learning (IRL). To gain traction in this challenging and underconstrained problem, IRL methods predominantly represent the reward function of the expert as a linear combination of known features. Most of the existing IRL algorithms either assume the availability of a transition function or provide a complex and inefficient approach to learn it. In this paper, we present a model-free approach to IRL, which casts IRL in the maximum likelihood framework. We present modifications of the model-free Q-learning that replace its maximization to allow computing the gradient of the Q-function. We use gradient ascent to update the feature weights to maximize the likelihood of expert’s trajectories. We demonstrate on two problem domains that our approach improves the likelihood compared to previous methods.
Multi-Dimensional Classification via kNN Feature Augmentation
Authors: Jia Bin-Bin , Zhang Min-Ling
Published: September 2019

Multi-dimensional classification (MDC) deals with the problem where one instance is associated with multiple class variables, each of which specifies its class membership w.r.t. one specific class space. Existing approaches learn from MDC examples by focusing on modeling dependencies among class variables, while the potential usefulness of manipulating feature space hasn’t been investigated. In this paper, a first attempt towards feature manipulation for MDC is proposed which enriches the original feature space with kNNaugmented features. Specifically, simple counting statistics on the class membership of neighboring MDC examples are used to generate augmented feature vector. In this way, discriminative information from class space is encoded into the feature space to help train the multi-dimensional classification model. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed feature augmentation techniques, extensive experiments over eleven benchmark data sets as well as four state-of-the-art MDC approaches are conducted. Experimental results clearly show that, compared to the original feature space, classification performance of existing MDC approaches can be significantly improved by incorporating kNN-augmented features.
Solving the Torpedo Scheduling Problem
Authors: Geiger Martin Josef , Kletzander Lucas , Musliu Nysret
Published: September 2019

The article presents a solution approach for the Torpedo Scheduling Problem, an operational planning problem found in steel production. The problem consists of the integrated scheduling and routing of torpedo cars, i. e. steel transporting vehicles, from a blast furnace to steel converters. In the continuous metallurgic transformation of iron into steel, the discrete transportation step of molten iron must be planned with considerable care in order to ensure a continuous material flow.

The problem is solved by a Simulated Annealing algorithm, coupled with an approach of reducing the set of feasible material assignments. The latter is based on logical reductions and lower bound calculations on the number of torpedo cars.

Experimental investigations are performed on a larger number of problem instances, which stem from the 2016 implementation challenge of the Association of Constraint Programming (ACP). Our approach was ranked first (joint first place) in the 2016 ACP challenge and found optimal solutions for all used instances in this challenge.
Centrifuge study on effect of installation method on lateral response of monopiles in sand
Authors: Fan Shengsheng , Bienen Britta , Randolph Mark F.
Published: September 2019

Monopiles used as foundations for offshore wind turbines can be installed using different methods including jacking, vibratory driving and impact driving. Significant research efforts have been dedicated to the characterisation of monopile−soil interaction under lateral loading, mainly using p–y curves. There has also been extensive research in quantifying the effect of different installation methods on the axial response using numerical modelling and physical modelling techniques. Little attention has been paid to the effect of the installation method on the subsequent lateral response of a monopile under the in-service condition. In this paper, a purpose-designed apparatus is described that allows in-flight installation using different installation methods followed directly by lateral loading without stopping the centrifuge and thus retaining the installation-induced stress state. Test results from three lateral loading tests are discussed, with the piles either jacked at 1g and Ng or impact driven at Ng into a dry medium dense sand, allowing the effect of the installation method on the initial stiffness and ultimate capacity to be examined. The successfully conducted tests illustrate the capabilities of the new apparatus for centrifuge testing of laterally loaded driven piles.

Published: September 2019

The aim of our study was to explore the features of moral judgments in adolescents differing in the character of their psychological well-being in the context of informational socialization, where the efficiency of processing social information is of particular importance. Objectives of the study: identification of the types of psychological well-being based on the basic beliefs of adolescents; study of the relationship between the types of psychological well-being and features of moral judgments in adolescents; study of the relationship between the types of psychological well-being and the effectiveness of cognitive processing of social information by adolescents and the characteristics of their Internet behavior. The following techniques were used: the scale of basic beliefs (E.S. Kalmykova, M.A. Padun); the technique for measuring cognitive processing of social information (S.V. Molchanov, O.V. Almazova, N.N. Poskreysheva); the Internet Addiction Scale (Chen); the Justice — Care inventory (S.V. Molchanov).The sample consisted of 175 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years (M = 16.1; SD = 1.0).Three types of psychological well-being were identified: balanced (high level of psychological well-being), ego-centered and “fortunist”. The study revealed the differences in the level of moral judgments and in the efficiency of processing social information in favor of the balanced type of psychological well-being. The ego-centered type is characterized by low-level moral judgments, self-orientation and self-interest, low efficiency of social information processing, and pronounced symptoms of Internet addiction.

Published: September 2019

Delayed graft function (DGF) is a transplant complication which means a need to dialysis throughout the first week after transplantation. This study aimed to ascertain the relationship between the two immunomodulatory factors of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and soluble fibrinogen-like protein 2 (sFGL-2) with DGF after transplantation.
This case-control study was done in 2 groups of 58 kidney transplant patients with and without DGF. The control group included the patients who didn’t show DGF symptoms. Then, serum levels of sFlt-1and sFGL-2 in all blood samples were measured by ELISA.
Serum sFlt-1 and sFGL-2 levels were significantly higher in the DGF group compared to those in the control group (p≤0.001). sFlt-1 and sFGL-2 serum levels significantly affect DGF (p<0.001) in such a way that they may be diagnostic factors of DGF.
This study showed a significant relationship between sFlt-1 as well as sFGL-2 and DGF. Therefore, plasma levels of sFlt-1 and sFGL-2 may be used as diagnostic tools to determine the risk of DGF.

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome is an endocrine disorder with many complications. This syndrome is a growing concern among adolescents around the world, with varying reports of its prevalence in different parts of the world.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in adolescents by a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Materials and Methods: In this study, a search for published articles with an English language limitation and without a time limit was done in different databases (Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science, Emabse and Cochrane) in January 2019. The 12 studies that met the criteria for entering a qualitative assessment scale of 5 and higher were subjected to systematic review and meta-analysis. Egger and Begg’s tests were used to check the publication bias. Data were analyzed with STATA software, version 11.1.
Results: Twelve studies were included for meta-analysis. The total number of participants in the study was 149,477. The average quality score of all studies was 8.67 (range: 5–10). The prevalence of polycystic ovarian syndrome in adolescents based on the Rotterdam criteria was 11.04% (95% CI: 6.84–16.09%), based on the National Institute of Health criteria, it was 3.39% (95% CI: 0.28–9.54%), and based on Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society, it was 8.03% (95% CI: 6.24–10.01%).
Conclusion: The result of this study showed that there is a variation in the prevalence of PCOS in adolescents based on different criteria; we suggest more community-based studies among adolescences in different parts of the world.
The association between TNP2 gene polymorphisms and Iranian infertile men with varicocele: A case-control study
Authors: Mehdi Heidari Mohammad , Danafar Amirhossein , Moezzi Fahime , Khatami Mehri , Reza Talebi Ali
Published: September 2019

Background: Numerous researches have provided great evidence that revealed the relationship between varicocele and sperm DNA damage.
Objective: Because of the crucial role of nuclear transition proteins (TPs) in sperm DNA condensation and integrity, this case-control study was designed to study TNP2 gene nucleotide variations in Iranian patients with varicocele.
Materials and Methods: PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing were used to search for mutations in exons 1 & 2 of the TNP2 gene in 156 infertile patients with varicocele and 150 fertile men.
Results: The results of sequencing showed three variants at positions c.301C > T (p.R101C), c.391C > T (p.R131 W), and g.IVS1-26G >C (rs8043625) of TNP2 gene. It was found that varicocele risk in men who have the CC genotype of g.IVS1-26G >C SNP is higher than those who don’t have these genotypes (according to Co-dominant model, Dominant model, Recessive model, and Over-dominant model). The haplotype-based analysis showed that (C/C/T) and (C/T/T) haplotypes were a risk factor of in patients with varicocele compared to controls (OR = 3.278, p = 0.000 and OR= 9.304, p = 0.038, respectively).
Conclusion: Because of the significant difference in the genotype and allele frequencies of g.IVS1-26G >C SNP in the intronic region of TNP2 in patients with varicocele compared with controls and also because of the high conservation of this SNP position during evolution, this SNP may be involved in some important processes associated with the expression of this gene like mRNA splicing, but the exact mechanism is not clear.
Secondary infertility due to intrauterine fetal bone retention: A case report and review of the literature
Authors: Mahdavi Atossa , Kazemian Sasan , Koohestani Emad
Published: September 2019

Background: Intrauterine retention of fetal bone fragments is a rare condition that could happen after abortion (especially illegal abortion). It can cause secondary infertility as bon fragments can work as an intrauterine contraceptive device.
Case: A 25-year-old Iranian woman was referred to Shariati Hospital due to infertility. During infertility work up to normal semen analysis, adequate ovarian reserve with regular ovulatory cycles was documented. An ultrasound scan revealed focal echogenic shadowing lesions inside the uterine cavity. Hysteroscopy was conducted and many intrauterine bone fragments were revealed. Six months after hysteroscopic removal of fetal bones, the patient became pregnant and delivered a healthy and term baby.
Conclusion: Intrauterine fetal bone retention is a scarce event that happens after pregnancy termination due to the incomplete evacuation of fetal tissues. It can cause dysfunctional uterine bleeding, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, and secondary infertility. The detection of the problem and the removal of the remained bones by hysteroscopy have made possible to treat the patient safely and restore normal uterine function and female fertility.

Published: September 2019

Background: Pre-hospital care plays an important role in managing patients who require emergency services and preserving human life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cost of completed public pre-hospital emergency missions according to the activity-based costing model and to compare it with the cost of private pre-hospital emergency services in Mashhad in 2016.
Methods: In this applied and descriptive cross-sectional study, the data were collected using a researcher-made form 4 major groups of costs were identified to estimate the total costs: 1- Personnel salaries, 2- Current expenses 3- Medical consumables 4- Depreciation. The cost of providing pre-hospital services was calculated based on the activity-based costing. Eventually, the cost of pre-hospital emergency services was compared between the public and private sectors. To investigate the cost-effective factors for missions, multiple regression analysis, Breusch-Pagan, Ramsey RESET, Swilk, and Linktest diagnostic tests were used by  Stata 11.0 software.
Results: The average cost of each mission was equal to 2114337 ± 217786 thousand Rials in 58 emergency medical centers of Mashhad in 2016. Of this cost, 78.51 %, (1660129 ± 1578445 Rials) was related to employees' salaries, 19.24 % (406842 ± 375083 Rials) was related to the current costs of each center, 0.23 % (4796 ± 4476 Rials) was related to depreciation, and 2/02 % (42761 ± 42822 Rials) was related to medical consumables in each pre-hospital emergency mission. The value of contract with an emergency pre-hospital emergency was 1104000 Rials for each mission in 2016, which is almost half of the cost related to the public pre-hospital. Results of the regression model estimation also showed that among the variables of the model, the fuel cost variable was identified as an effective variable on the cost of each mission (p = 0.0001).
Conclusion: The private sector provides pre-hospital emergency services at a lower cost. Moreover, before establishing a pre-hospital pre-service center, the cost-effectiveness of establishing a center in each region should be checked.
IMPACT OF THE PERSONALITY, PROFESSIONALISM, AND SPIRITUALITY ON DYSFUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOUR (A CASE STUDY OF INDONESIAN ACCOUNTANTS)
Authors: Janie Dyah N.A. , Isgiyarta Jaka
Published: September 2019

Purpose of the study: This examination means to inspect the impact of locus of control on the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing and to accountants’ professional commitment. We test the impact of accountants’ professional commitment to the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. We also dissect how work environment spirituality would moderate them.

Methodology: The population was public accountants in Indonesia, selected using convenience sampling method due to the uncertainness of the population. Partial Least Square and WarPLS 6.0 were utilized to break down the information. The use of data collection methods in the form of online questionnaires directly addressed to all Indonesian accounting firms e-mail addresses.

Main Findings: Locus of control proved to have positive effects on the behavioural dysfunctional audits reception and auditors' professional commitment. Professional commitment is not proven to harm the reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing. Work environment spirituality is not proven to moderate the relationship between professional commitment and reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing.

Applications of this study: The more bound an auditor is to his profession, also makes him take actions that are less ethical, justifying any means so that his business can continue to run. Auditor's attachment to his profession gives an adverse impact. They need to develop themselves, switching to other professions, such as being an Accountant Educator, Management Accountant, or entering the public sector.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study combines reasoned action and contingency theory. It also connects locus of control and professional commitment. We also adopt work environment spirituality in the model of reception of dysfunctional behaviour in auditing that researchers have never used before. We also integrate extrinsic/environmental factor as a moderating, not as an independent variable. We also utilized online questionnaires.

La transformación de las funciones del Estado mexicano en torno a la dialéctica desarrollo/subdesarrollo: incursiones a la luz de la crisis institucional contemporánea
Authors: Enríquez Pérez Isaac
Published: September 2019

A través del presente artículo se pretende estudiar el hecho de que las funciones del Estado tienden a cambiar históricamente en México y que no se muestran de manera homogénea en los esfuerzos de esta macroestructura institucional por incidir en la dialéctica desarrollo/subdesarrollo. Dichos cambios, están en función de la reconfiguración del capitalismo como modo de producción y pro ceso civilizatorio, así como de la gravitación que ejercen –en medio de la transnacionalización de las decisiones públicas estratégicas y de la transcontinentalización de las relaciones sociales– los espacios globales para la toma de decisiones. A partir del objetivo que consiste en identificar e interpretar el sentido de esas renovadas funciones estatales, se trata de incursionar en la orientación que toman las decisiones púbicas y las distintas fuerzas, factores y circunstancias que inciden en la planeación del desarrollo en una nación subdesarrollada como México; no sin dejar de lado las especificidades de las políticas públicas y de las estrategias de intervención del sector público en un escenario signado por una crisis de Estado cada vez más pronunciada a causa de la proliferación de poderes fácticos que le disputan la articulación de la vida social.Recibido: 14 noviembre 2018Aceptado: 21 junio 2019Publicación en línea: 31 julio 2019

Lookin’ out my backdoor – El TJUE y la aceptación selectiva de los Tribunales internacionales
Authors: Cantore Carlo M.
Published: September 2019

En ausencia de una autoridad política global, el diálogo entre tribunales internacionales, supranacionales y nacionales ha desempeñado un papel fundamental a lo largo de los años para favorecer la armonización jurídica y el reconocimiento y la ejecución de derechos y principios comunes. En Europa, el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea (TJUE) ha estado en el centro de este proceso. A lo largo de los años, el TJUE ha actuado como "guardián" en la selección de otros interlocutores judiciales para el desarrollo de un verdadero dialogo. El enfoque del TJUE no ha sido siempre coherente.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment presents a serious challenge. While there are evidence-based treatment options available, there is still a substantial group of treatment-seeking patients who do not complete regular AUD treatment. In addition, accomplished reductions in drinking behavior during treatment are often lost posttreatment. Therefore, both feasibility and effectiveness of AUD treatment are important. Innovative interventions, such as addiction-focused eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (AF-EMDR) therapy (Markus & Hornsveld, 2017), may hold promise as adjunctive treatments. Here the results of a feasibility study of adjunctive AF-EMDR therapy in outpatients with AUD and without comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are described. A multiple baseline design across four participants was used. They received AF-EMDR alongside treatment as usual (TAU). The results suggest that, while challenging, AF-EMDR therapy in outpatients with AUD can be safe, acceptable, and feasible. Whether it is effective, under what conditions and for whom, requires further study however.
Metabolite Transporters—The Gatekeepers for T Cell Metabolism

Metabolism is the fundamental biological process that drives the survival and death at both organismal and cellular level. It is also intimately involved in all cellular functions, proliferation, differentiation, and response to environmental cues and stress. During infection, successful immune response depends on the proper activation of various cell types. T cells are a key component of adaptive immunity. They remain metabolically quiescent before meeting their cognate antigens, however upon antigen encounter, these activated T cells have increased demands for energy and biological building blocks for differentiation, proliferation, and effector molecules production. These biosynthetic needs are met through metabolic reprogramming. Multilayered metabolite sensing machinery is in place to interact with the environment and coordinates the cellular metabolism with cell signaling and gene expression to meet the cellular demand in a timely manner. As most of the metabolites are cell membrane impermeable and require specialized membrane proteins to facilitate their translocation, metabolite transporters serve as gatekeepers and an important layer of regulation of metabolism in general. In this review, we discuss how key metabolite transporters are involved in T cell metabolism and shape T cell responses.

As the motion accuracy of 5-axis machining centers directly influences the geometrical shape accuracy of the machined workpieces, accuracy enhancement of the 5-axis machining centers is strongly needed. To improve the shape accuracy during the machining by a 5-axis machine tool, a method that modifies the CL-data based on the motion trajectory errors normal to the machined surface at each command point has been proposed. In this study, the proposed method is applied to simultaneous 5-axis controlled machining to improve motion accuracy. A normal vector calculation method for the simultaneous 5-axis controlled motion is newly proposed, and the compensation method is applied to turbine blade machining by 5-axis controlled motion. Measurement tests of the cutting motion for blade shape machining by a ball-end mill were carried out with a different control mode of NC. The CL-data for the machining tool path was also modified based on the calculated trajectory of the tool center point. Experimental results reveal that the feed speed and machining accuracy significantly depend on the control mode of NC, and that the shape accuracy can be improved by applying the proposed compensation method without any decrease in motion speed.

Lost motion is a phenomenon that often occurs during the motion of a moving table, which is used for machine tools to ensure their precise positioning. Lost motion occurs when the direction of the table’s motion reverses as a result of nonlinear friction characteristics between the feed drive mechanisms such as the ball screw and linear guide. Lost motion directly influences the machining accuracy of a machine tool, because the accuracy of machining depends on the relative motion between the tool and the workpiece. A number of studies have dealt with suppressing the occurrence of lost motion using model-based control. However, nonlinear friction has not been addressed to the same extent, as it is difficult to determine the motion characteristics of and therefore develop a model for the nonlinear friction. Thus, to address these problems, we propose a compensation method for revers motion based on vector control, which is used to control the torque and velocity of the alternating current (AC) servomotor in the moving table. In this study, the current applied to the AC servomotor for a vector with force components in the rotational direction (torque component) and in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation (field component) was measured to clarify and establish the relationship between the motion and the control current. The compensation current was then derived as a functional value based on the results of the measured torque at the occurrence of lost motion. Further, tests were carried out using the proposed method, which directly applies the drive current of the AC servomotor by using a field-programmable gate array controller to improve the reverse motion of the table. The results reveal that the motion characteristics of a numerical control (NC) table can be determined by measuring the drive current of the AC servomotor. In addition, it is verified that the proposed method can compensate for the torque command smoothly at the time of velocity reversal, resulting in suppression of the lost motion and reduction of reverse motion of the moving table.

Demand for highly productive machining of thin-walled workpieces has been growing in the aerospace industry. Workpiece vibration is a critical issue that could limit the productivity of such machining processes. This study proposes a machining process for thin-walled workpieces that aims to reduce the workpiece vibration during the machining process. The workpiece compliance is measured using an on-machine measurement system to obtain the cutting conditions and utilize the same for suppressing the vibration. The on-machine measurement system consists of a shaker with a force sensor attached on the machine tool spindle, and an excitation control system which is incorporated within the machine tool’s numerical control (NC). A separate sensor to obtain the workpiece displacement is not required for the estimation of the displacement. The system is also capable of automatic measurement at various measurement points because the NC controls the positioning and the preloading of the shaker. The amplitude of the workpiece vibration is simulated using the measured compliance to obtain the cutting conditions for suppressing the vibration. An end milling experiment was conducted to verify the validity of the proposed process. The simulations with the compliance measurement using the developed system were compared to the results of a conventional impact test. The comparison showed that the spindle rotation speed for suppressing the vibration could be successfully determined; but, the axial depth of cut was difficult to be determined because the simulated vibration amplitude was larger than that found in the experimental result. However, this can be achieved if the amplitude is calibrated by one machining trial.

This study considers an innovative coolant nozzle that enables a remarkable reduction in grinding fluid consumption in cylindrical plunge grinding of chromium molybdenum steel (ISO 34CrMo4 / JIS SCM435) using a vitrified-bonded cubic boron nitride (CBN) wheel. This coolant nozzle has a simple structure consisting of ordinary nylon or polypropylene fiber brushes and an acrylic resin oil pool. This flexible brush-nozzle is suitably placed in contact with the wheel surface, and the grinding fluid is supplied along the brush to the wheel surface to form a fluid film to the wheel surface, while simultaneously scraping the “air belt.” Thus, the grinding fluid adheres to the whole wheel surface by the “Coandă effect,” and grinding fluid consumption is reduced to 0.5 L/min or less without causing any thermal damage to the ground surface. The cooling effect of this coolant nozzle is examined mainly by a grinding temperature measurement by means of a fiber-coupled two-color pyrometer. The nylon fiber brush is more effective than the polypropylene brush because of its high elasticity and good water absorption rate, which is related to the wettability. Even with such an extremely small amount of grinding fluid, the grinding force, surface roughness, and grinding temperature are nearly the same as those in the case of the conventional wet grinding.

This study proposes a new grinding system using grinding fluid containing oxygenic fine bubbles (O2FBs) to realize high-performance electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) using a conductive rubber bond grinding wheel. It was found that grinding fluid containing O2FBs dramatically increases the dissolved oxygen in the grinding fluid. In addition, the O2FBs in the fluid are drawn to the conductive rubber bond grinding wheel, which is the positive pole, during ELID. These effects are thought to enhance the dressing performance of the conductive rubber bond grinding wheel. Grinding of pure titanium using the proposed grinding system was found to realize mirror surface finishing while increasing the amount of removed workpiece material, compared to when ELID was not applied and to when ELID grinding was conducted using a normal grinding fluid. Effects of ELID grinding on surface modification were also observed, confirming that the proposed grinding system is able to form a thick oxidized film on pure titanium.
