Fig. 1.1 Schematic principle of Electro Chemical Machining (ECM) 1.2 Principle of ECM Electrochemical machining removes material from the work piece by electrochemical process. The working principle is anodic dissolution in which the work piece as anode and the tool as cathode. Both electrodes are immersed in the electrolyte and electrical applied to these electrodes.

As the narrator obsesses more and more over the wallpaper she starts connecting it to her current life…

Evening Thoughts by Thomas Berry Thomas Berry argues that a confluence of developments and ideologies of mankind has led to an end of the Cenozoic era, and that the “expansion of the life systems of earth is being terminated,” necessitating a commitment by mankind to embark upon a “transformation from an anthropomorphic norm of reality and value to a biocentric or geocentric norm,” which he describes as the Ecozoic era (43). He proposes that the underlying impetus to mankind’s troubled…

As a teen growing up through the 21st century, I’ve come face to face with many depths of overcoming dissociation, inaccurate accusations, and unsteady decision makings. Everyday I see my peers change their lives substantially for incomprehensible reasons, based solely on their ambitionist drives.

Through my small town of Excelsior…

Robert Milton’s Anomie Strain Theory is centered in the belief that society has a dominant and accepted set of norms/values and goals and those values direct us in the acceptable avenue of achieving said goals. Milton adapted his theory from Durkheim, who theorized that strain was due to a breakdown of society’s inability to control the goals and aspirations. Milton’s tweak on Durkheim states that social strain is created when the gap between socially approved goals and one’s ability and/or…

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of host defence peptides found in all living organisms. They exhibit significant activity against bacteria, virus, fungi and several other pathogens. AMPs share certain common features. (a) They are small molecules with varying amino acid composition and length. (b) They are cationic, due to the presence of positively charged basic amino acids and (c) amphipathic, since they contain alternate hydrophobic nonpolar and hydrophilic, polar residues. AMPs are…
