    Notes: Abstract Aluminium alloys reinforced by ceramic particles have been widely used in aerospace and automotive industries for their high stiffness and wear resistance. However, the machining of such materials is difficult and would usually cause excessive tool wear. The effect of ceramic particles on the cutting mechanisms is also unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the cutting mechanisms and the relationship between specific energy of scratching and depth of cut (size effect). The single-point scratch test was carried out on 6061 Al and its composites reinforced by Al2O3 and SiC ceramic particles using a pyramid indenter. The results indicated that the scratch process was composed of rubbing, ploughing, plastic cutting and reinforcement fracture. A simple model was proposed to interpret the apparent size effect. The effect of reinforcement on the specific energy was correlated to the ratio of volume fraction to particle radius. The paper found that for machining MMCs, a larger depth of cut should be used to maintain a lower machining energy, especially for those with a larger ratio of volume fraction to particle radius.

    Notes: Summary Biological fluids and tissues extracts were shown to contain biological factors, termed facilins, that facilitate the dopamine-, adrenaline-, and serotonin-mediated aortic contraction at concentrations devoid of any direct effect. Cyproheptadine and phentolamine antagonized the direct contracting effect of biogenic amines, but not the facilitated component of the aortic response thus indicating that the mechanism of action of facilins was unlike that of biogenic amines. Fresh schizophrenics' CSF displayed a stronger facilitating effect than normal CSF on the dopamine-mediated aortic response. This finding, however, was not confirmed with samples kept frozen for prolonged periods of time. Multiple molecular forms of facilins were detected in rabbit serum. Those with a high apparent molecular weight were proteinous and were neither insulin nor other factors known for their contracting effects on the aorta such as epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor-beta, and platelet-derived growth factor.
