Performance Evaluation of Nanographite-Based Cutting Fluid in Machining Process

Abstract: Health and environmental concern on use of cutting fluids during manufacturing has led to development of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) which requires specialized fluids having superior properties. In the present work, a new nanofluid is prepared and is evaluated for lubricating property. Its performance is evaluated in machining process by applying it as MQL in turning by measuring cutting forces, cutting temperature, flank wear, roughness of machined surface, and examining chip morphology. Newly prepared nanofluid showed improvement in the lubricating properties of base fluid and also showed superior performance compared to dry machining, flood cooling, and MQL application of conventional cutting fluid.

HAART in HIV/AIDS Treatments: Future Trends.

Abstract: AIDS (acquired immune deficient syndrome) is a deadly human viral infectious disease caused by HIV (human immune-deficient virus) infection. Almost every AIDS patient losses his/her life before mid 1990s. AIDS was once the 1st disease killer in US (1993). After one decade hard work, antiviral drug cocktails-high active anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) have been invented for almost all HIV infection treatments. Due to the invention of HAART, 80-90% HIV/AIDS patients still effectively response to HAART for deadly AIDS episode controls and life saving. Yet, this type of HIV therapeutics is incurable. HIV/AIDS patients need to take HAART medications regularly and even life-long. To counteract this therapeutic drawback, more revolutionary efforts (different angles of therapeutic modes/attempts) are urgently needed. In this article, the major progresses and drawbacks of HIV/AIDS chemotherapy (HAART) to HIV/AIDS patients have been discussed. Future trends (updating pathogenesis study, next generations of drug developments, new drug target discovery, different scientific disciplinary and so on) are highlighted.

A health monitoring system for vital signs using IoT

Abstract: This article presents the design of a real-time health monitoring system which can store a patient's basic health parameters. The data can be made available to a medical practitioner as an alert and for monitoring by multiple means of communication. At present, healthcare systems exist with single mode communication option – popularly either in GSM or data access on a web application. The proposed health monitoring system enhances healthcare delivery by communicating multiplexed data over three modes – BLE (mobile application), GSM (messaging services) and Wi-Fi (Internet).
