Influence of Cutting Wedge Geometry Design on Cutting Forces, Chip Formation and Surface Roughness During Free Machining of Aluminum Alloy

This study investigates the effects of the rake angle and clearance angle of custom-manufactured HSS-E Co5 high-speed steel cutting tools on the Fc main cutting force, the Fp passive force component, the Ra and Rz surface roughness parameters, and chip morphology during orthogona...

Direct evidence for scavenging as a primary feeding strategy in Pliocrocuta, an extinct genus of bone-cracking hyaenas

Abstract The carnivoran family Hyaenidae exhibits a complex evolutionary history of diverse trophic adaptations, including the consumption of almost entire carcasses, either predated or scavenged. The associated durophagy peaked within the subfamily Hyaeninae in a clade of ‘fully...

ESP32-Based Sparkplug B Gateway Framework for Brownfield PLC Integration into an IIoT Unified Namespace: A Data Foundation for Intelligent Industrial Systems

Brownfield industrial systems often contain programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that expose heterogeneous vendor-specific protocols but cannot directly participate in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) data architectures. Replacing these controllers is frequently impractical,...
