Joint Investigation and 3D Visual Evaluation of Rock Mass Quality by Haiping Yuan, Chenghao Chen, Yixian Wang, Hanbing Bian, Yan Liu

“…In order to realize the high efficiency quality classification and three-dimensional visualization of engineering rock mass and to solve the technical difficulties of the traditional rock mass quality evaluation method such as high labor intensity, long process time consumption, many intervention processes such as scale measurement and manual calculation, and nonintuitive classification results, this paper puts forward a 3D visual rock mass quality evaluation method and system based on close-range photography, which optimizes the traditional rock mass quality evaluation method, makes the rock mass classification three-dimensional and visible, and realizes the estimation of unrevealed rock mass quality evaluation index. …”

Radiative origin of fermion mass hierarchy in left-right symmetric theory by Sudip Jana, Sophie Klett, Manfred Lindner, Rabindra N. Mohapatra

“…Abstract Despite the remarkable success of the Standard Model, the hierarchy and patterns of fermion masses and mixings remain a profound mystery. To address this, we propose a model employing the rank mechanism, where the originally massless quarks and leptons sequentially get masses. …”

ANALYSIS OF CUTTING FLUID ON MASS LOSS OF CARBIDE INSERT IN THE MILLING PROCESS by Arya Rudi Nasution, Affandi Affandi, Khairul Umurani, Rahmatullah Rahmatullah, Muhammad Refan

“…In the process of administering coolant using the method, it is sprayed directly onto the workpiece area which is cut continuously, in the milling process with a response variable that can be in the form of data or tool wear values that have been observed and tested using a microscope test tool, using the weight (mass) method to see the wear value. This research aims to see how effective the use of vegetable- based coolant (CPO) during experiments as a coolant in the machining process aims to ensure that the final value of tool insert wear must be smaller with (CPO) compared to chemical coolant (dromus).…”
