A flexible panel consisting of 38 informative microsatellite markers for Salmo trutta is described. These markers were selected from a pool of over 150 candidate loci that can be readily amplified in four multiplex PCR groups but other permutations are also possible. The basic properties of each markers were assessed in six population samples from both the Burrishoole catchment, in the west of Ireland, and Lough Neagh, in Northern Ireland. A method to assess the relative utility of individual markers for the detection of population genetic structuring is also described. Given its flexibility, technical reliability and high degree of informativeness, the use of this panel of markers is advocated as a standard for S. trutta genetic studies.
Description
Wear Processes in Manufacturing (STP 1362) is the first publication of its kind to feature the most current research on manufacturing-associated wear problems, including machinability.
Leading researchers in the field present 11 comprehensive papers covering the following areas:
Abrasion in Ceramic Grinding -- One paper examines the two-body belt abrasion test for the quantitative grindability assessment of new ceramic compositions. The other paper explores how grinding material removal rates are effected by such variables as belt speed, load, cutting fluid and specimen rotation.
Wear of Cutting Tools -- Topics such as tool life study under different cutting conditions with and without coolant; stainless steel tool wear results with varying carbon, nitrogen and copper contents; how coatings and/or other treatments impact cutting tools; and the tribology of wood machining such as tool wear, tool-wood frictional interactions and wood surface characterization are explored in six papers.
Friction in Vibratory Conveyor -- One paper tackles the inherent problems with feeding connectors using vibratory conveyors to machines that assemble input/output pins, such as those used in the computer industry.
Erosion in Manufacturing -- High temperature pipe material wear and an innovative electrochemical process for erosion assessment in fluids are discussed in two papers.
This is an invaluable resource for tribologists, materials manufacturers, metallurgists, and machinists; as well as ceramic, chemical, mechanical and industrial engineers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
